Representative Holman will now go homo to
see about his chances for reelection from the
Fourth Indiana District. While he has been
away there has appeared in the political arena
a Republican candidate named James E. Wat
son, who was chosen at the last State Conven-
tion. and who is young man hardly more than
old enough to be qualified for scat in Congress,
but who manfests ability of high order. He
was the chief opponent Of ex-Representative
Owen in the Republican Convention fight in
April for State Secretary. He halls from Rush
County, which was supposed to have no candi-
date. and in order to both shelve him and pre-
vent the springing of dark horse, the friends
OF the other candidate made him permanent
chairman. In accepting the post the young
man made speech of such oratorical force as
to set the tide strongly in his favor. On the
fourth ballot the convention stampeded to him
and nominated him. Representative Holman
will find that lie has more than formal fight
on his hands, even if he succeed in retaining
his seat.

ASTRONOMY IN ARIZONA.
A Station Established Through the Efforts
of Harvard College Observatory.

A Station Established Through the Efforts
of Harvard College Observatory.
An expedition to establish an astro-
nomical observation station in Arizona
left Harvard college observatory March
/, Percival Lowell having furnished
the means therefor. The head of the
work is William Fl. Pickering, brother
of Professor Edward G.. Pickering of
Harvard. He has been for years en-
gagged in similar work in Europe and
has recently returned from the Arequi-
pa expedition. 1t has long been desired
to have station in the dry air of Ari-
zona, but funds have been lacking, and
Mr.. Lowell's gift is most grateful. He
is we'll known as a traveller in the far
east, a writer on Korea, Japan and the
PHILOSOPHERS and religions of those re-
gions, but he is also an enthusiast in
astronomy, has written several books
on the science and is himself one of the
Arizona party.
The founding of the station will not
change the work at Arequipa, which is
to be almost wholly used for photo
graphic work, while that in Arizona will
be visual. But much of the investiga-
tion of the problems of the skies which
has been carried on at the Harvard OBJ
servatory will be transferred to the new
station. Professor Pickering says that
everything is tending to drive observa-
tories away from cities. The vapors,
the smoke and now the powerful cleo
trio currents used for lights and street
cars-all are injurious to the objects of
the astronomer. The special reason for
hurrying the expedition is the apposi-
tion of Mars next summer, when that
planet will be near the earth and far
two years ago at Arequipa.-Spring

Astor Finds 1t Expensive.

Mr.. Astor is finding it fully as expen-
sive to indulge in the luxury of publish
ing good newspaper as to maintain
the finest steam yacht. The financial re-
suit of his first year s experience as pro-
prietor of The Pail Mall Gazette, Bud
get and Magazine was recently put be-
fore him. a friend of Mr.. Astor said
that the balance on the wrong side of
the account amounted to about $780,
600. When he had examined the bal
ance sheet few minutes, it is said that
Mr.. Astor remarked, IF the balance
against us next year exceeds $50. 900,
shall think there is bad management
somewhere"

Observation Cultivated.

A novel method of cultivating the fac
ulty of observation in children has been
introduced by teacher in an up town
kindergarten. She tells her pupils that
she is about to have call from some
one who will remain only three minutes;
that no one must directly stare at him,
but that the pupil who gives the best de-
scription of him after his departure will
receive prize. The other day her father,
a Grand Army veteran in uniform, per-
formed the part of caller, and some of
the personal descriptions after he had
bowed himself out denoted unusually
quick and accurate attention to detail.
One boy had counted all his buttons and
gave the number correctly, another no.
ticed an almost invisible scar on his face,
and various others gave details of the
color and shape of his beard, hair and
uniform. The one who received the prize
was little girl, who declared he had
"an expression on his face" e."-Philadel-
phia Record.

First Public Concerts.

Public concerts owe their direct en-
couragement to John Banister, who had
won fame by his playing on the violin,
and who succeeded the celebrated Bait
zar as leader Of Charles IFS band of "a
violins. Pepys, in an entry in his dairy
for February, 1867, tells US the court gos-
sip Of the day-''how the kings viallin
Banister is mad that the king hath
Frenchman come to be chief of some
part of the kings musique."
1t was rumored that he was dismissed
from the royal service for saying English
violins were better than the French, a
statement which was no doubt regarded
as heretical, opposed as it was to the pre-
vailing court view as to the superiority
of France in all questions of taste, and
especially with regard to music.
BaniSter's concerts at the close of the
year 1872 were advertised in the London
Gazette as follows: "These are to give
notice that at Mr.. John Banister's house
(now called the Musick SchooD, over
against the George Tavern in White Fry
ers, the present Monday will be musick
performed by excellent masters, begin
ming precisely at of the clock in the
afternoon, and every afternoon for the
future precisely at the same hour"
Four years later on we read again:
"At the Academy in Little Lincoln's Inn
Fields will begin the first part of the
Farley of instruments, composed by Mr..
John Banister." The admission was at
this time as rule shilling, and these
concerts seem to have been held pretty
regularly down to within short time of
Banister's death, which took place in
1679.-Chambers' Journal.

SENATOR AND MRS. PETER.

They Are Always Together, and the Good
Lady Is Her Husbands Counselor.
The relations between Senator Peffer
and his wife are quite touching. They
are always together, and wherever Mr..
PETER is Mrs. PETER can usually be
found near by. They walk together in
the morning from their boarding house
to the capitol, and when he has nothing
else to do they work in his committee
room, she acting as his private secretary.
When he has engagements elsewhere,
she remains there, answering his letters
and sending out his documents. When
the senate is called to order, she goes
into the gallery and remains until ad-
journment, when she walks home with
him. When lunchtime comes, they go
down to the restaurant together and eat
baked apples and cream.
When he has to visit the pension Of
fee or the postoffice department or other
offices in the city, she is always with
him and usually waits outside of the
door until he comes. He is tall and un-
calmly, with high cheek bones, and dark
goggles, and long whiskers, and an ulster
on which the nap in places has been
worn off. She is a bright looking little
woman. nimble and observing, but
plainly dressed in a bonnet and gar
ments whichShe evidently made herself.
Mrs. PETER is woman of considerable
intellectual force. She understands po-
itical affairs quite as thoroughly as her
husband and is safe counselor. Wash

During grip days camphorated oil does
much good. 1t will often entirely dissi-

which persons who have had grip seem
peculiarly liable. Rub across the fore
head over and between the eyes. 1t is a
relief, too, for the pains In the legs,
which remain long after the attack is
over. Rub with it around the muscles
and knee joints, over and under. For
this trouble, or for an exhausted condi-
tion following overwork, take one-half
bay rum, one-fourth water and the rest
spirits, of ammonia, and rub the body
well all over, particularly the legs and
feet, and arms and hands.-New York

STARVING CAB HORSES.
Owing to the Hard Times They Have Had

Owing to the Hard Times They Have d ad
to Go Without Working Rations.
No enthusiastic mass meetings or
charity balls or dry goods sales have
been held for the thousands of unem-
ployed, crippled and half starved horses
throughout the city. But their suffer-
ings have been none the less severe be-
cause there is no powerful relief asso-
citation TO aid them. They cannot beg
or steal, sleep in the city hall or eat
soup at free kitchen, and when they
drop down in their tracks from hunger
and cold the agent for the rendering
company comes and hauls them away at
the expense of the taxpayers. Last
month the number so disposed of reached
into the thousands. 1t was more than
% per cent larger than at any CORE
spending period during the last decade.
Hard times came on, and the hun
dreds of expressmen, cabmen, peddlers
and junk dealers were among the first TO
suffer. Their wages were curtailed,
and they found it difficult TO find enough
food for their wives and children, to
say nothing of paying rent and feeding
their horses. If they sold out their
islands" ON the corners where they had
been stationed for years, every visible
means of support would vanish, and
their families would be compelled to de-
pend on charity. Consequently they
made their horses share the hunger of
their children and are earning what
they can.
Last week a cabman was hailed by
gentleman from the corner of Wabash
avenue and Van Buren street. He want
ed to be driven in a hurry to an address
on North Clark street. The cabman
cracked his whip, and the cab went rat
thing along the pavement. Just as they
reached the incline leading to the Dear
born avenue bridge the vehicle sudden
ly stopped, and moment later the horse
fell. 1t could not be induced to rise and
died where it had fallen. The cabman
explained, with tears in his eyes:
II couldn't make enough money to
feed him and my children both, and he
had to get along ON hay, and very little
of that. This morning | found him
shivering in the shed, and L suppose
cold and hunger have killed him"
1t is but one instance among the many.

Ashamed Of the tribute he offers,
Because it is so incomplete.

Had you loaned me your cheek with its glow,
Had you loaned me your brow with its sweet

Had you loaned me your brow with its snow,
Had you loaned me your voice with its music,
Had you loaned me your hand with its clasp,
Had you loaned me your heart with its prom

Fact and Fiction.

Burglars recently broke into jewel
ry store in New York and stole among
other things a gold snuffbox that once
belonged to Queen Isabella of Spain.
The newspapers seriously announced
that the snuffbox was given to Queen
Isabella by King Ferdinand in 1862.
The longer we live the more we unlearn.
We imagined that tobacco had some.
thing to do with snuff, and, as school
boys were taught, that tobacco was not
known in Europe till many years after
Ferdinand presented this snuffbox to
his Queen.-Jewelers' Circular.
