our innocence had supposed that both the
nomination of Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. May
nard were rs repugnant to Mr. Cleveland
us they were desirable to Tammany Hall,

anxiety about his Cabinet appointments, he
was waited upon by Messrs. Grace and
Fairchiid with some advice as to the
matter in hand, and also recollect that he
rather nngraciously suggested that, al
though he was greatly indebted to those
gentlemen, this did not give them the
right Of dictation; and it then occurred to
us that If Mr.. Cleveland was ungraclous.
the attitude of the anti-snappers was at
least indelicate, and it may possibly be the
case in this instance that the unti.snapper

Tho Luminous Meteoric Phenomenon
Visible Along the Northern Heavens
Last Friday Night.
A brilliant display of northern lights
or aurora borealis was observed in the
heavens on last Friday night, and
many people traversing the street at
that hour gazed with delight upon this
luminous meteoric phenomenon visible
along the northern sky. The night was
clear and the electrical display was per-
haps of 20 minutes duration.
The light at intervals appeared in
streams, ascending toward the zenith
from dusky line or bank, few de-
grees above the northern horizon. Occa.
sionally the aurora appeared as an arch
Of light across the heavens from east to
west, having wavy appearance. The
display at times was more brilliant than
others, and had the appearance of
bursting rocket, or the stream of an i'm.
mense electrical search light extending
along the path Of the sky. The display
was of unusual atmospheric brilliancy.
