ALetter of Henry CIaY,s.

Mr.. John FRANKLIN Of WEIGH, Mcdowell
county, w. Va, has in his possession a
letter written to his grandfather, L. Combs,
for which he has had many offers, all of
which he has refused. Several admirers
of the Kentucky statesman have tried to
get possession of it, but the present owner
has held to it with the belief that it con-
tains value aside from being an autograph
of Mr.. Clay, because of its expressions of
opinion In it much that has since become
history is very strongly limited at, and some
very important questions mentioned. The
letter is as follows:
WASHINGTON, 10 Feb 1890.
Dr. SIR am sorry TO have to communicate
TO you that the Committee of claims has re-
peated unfavorable reports in the cases in
which you are concerned, mentd in your let
ter of the % Dec The deficit i'll the Treasury,
the pressure of the times, the profusion in the
grant of pensions and persuasion that there
has been prodigality in the disbursement Of
the public moneys altogether render this the
most unfavorable session have ever seen. At
present there is no possibility Of getting any
business whatever done, owing to the agita-
ton of the Missouri question. When 1t will be
decided is uncertain. l think we have near
three weeks debate yet to get through. The
question daily assumes more importance, and
certainly is most fearful in its consequences
The subject of disunion is discussed in the cir
Giles with freedom and familiarity. In Rich
mond, we are told, they are all in flame in
dignant at the idea of any compromise-the
only way as some think Of disposing Of the
question to the satisfaction Of both parties

Now It's an Aluminium Wedding.

The already long list of jubilees and
family celebrations has been enriched
by novelty in the line of wedding fes-
tivities. The family and friends of a
rich manufacturer living in the neigh
borhood of Berlin deemed the interval
between the silver and golden wedding
to be altogether too long, and halving
it introduced last week an aluminium
wedding by offering the happy couple
on the occasion of the completion of
37M years of welded life choice va
riety of presents made of aluminium. If
this novel idea should take, the Alumni
um industry has great future before it.
The Prussian capital, of all German
cities the one most given to societies and
fetes of every possible name and descrip-
tion, has since gone even one better by
celebrating seven year wedding, which
the friends of the parties, with true Ber-
lin humor, christened the jubilee of the
seven years war.-Paris American

EXFF ciSE FOR THE EYES.

Absolutely Necessary In Order That the
Vision May Be Preserved.
When the eyes are treated fairly, they
are strengthened, not weakened, by
work. just as the arms of blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, SO the
eyes of watchmakerA who work under
healthy conditions are found to improve
and not TO deteriorate in vigor and
qulckness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use, which is to be avoided.
If a man is aware either that his eyes
need no artificial correction or else
have received their proper adjustment,
and if his work, whether literary or
mechanical, is done in a light both
steady and sufficient and with due re-
gard as To ordinary sanitary rules, he
may feel sure that he is strengthening
his eyes, not weakening them, by hard
work. Men of intellectual pursuits
sometimes arc afraid of losing their
mental powers in old age becausetthey
have drawn so much upon them when
young. The reverse is nearer the truth,
and If they have not overtaxed their
brains the fear is absolutely groundless.
The man whose intellect goes first In
old ace Is generally some farmer or la

Three Prayers of q Little Girl.

God bless Us every one." a little
girl in bed in the other room is praying
to go to sleep, but fighting to stay
awake. 20 Lord, "said she, make me
good and let me go in the omnibus TO
see Aunt Margaret and all the aunts
and nieces and mothers. Don't let it
hail or snow or rain, for want to go
in the omnibus to see Aunt Margaret
very much indeed, and all the aunts
and nieces and mothers. Make me we'll
so that / can go in the omnibus, please
do. Bless grandpa and grandma, Aunt
Kate and Aunt Sophia and Mr.. Charles
Swan. Bless papa and mamma, and
make US all good so that We can go TO
heaven at last, for Jesus sake. Amen. I"
There was a short pause, and then the
wide awake, defiant voice went on:
Keep grandma from dying before
she gets here. Don't let anything hap.
pen to her. Don't let any bears or wild
beasts eat her up. Bless grandpa and
grandma and Mr.. Charles Swan and
Aunt Kate and Aunt Sophia.

the hrSt, and the unconquered one be-
gan again:

A Relentless Hyena.

A well known Austin gentleman found
himself in very embarrassing position
He had left his money at home, and not
a nickel or a car ticket could he find
in his clothing. He was about to leave
the bobtail Car when gentleman, a real
gentleman, with sinister cast of counte
nance, rendered him a nickel. He gladly
accepted it and dropped it into the box
The grateful party then shook his un
known benefactor's hand, thanking him
for the confidence and accommodation
and asked his address so he could return
the money.
Never mind" responded the gener
Gus man, 'it's a counterfeit anyhow
The street car company will make that
hound of driver redeem it. I've got
no spite at you. He is the scoundrel
am after. He has trifed with the affec
tions of female relative of mine, but

less hyena l am when my blood is up

WONDERS OF THE MOON.
one OF Its Craters 40 Miles in Diameter
and 3 Ia Miles In Depth.

and 3 Ia Miles In Depth.
On this side Of the moon, though
2400oO miles away. there is not a
mountain whose height has not been
measured, nor a crater whose diameter
and depth is unknown. Save few
Chains of mountains the scenery Of the
noon is totally unlike that Of the
Earth. The naked eye sees the moon
heclSed with dark patches, which were,
before the invention of the telescope,
looked upon as seas. and the names
then given them are still retained. But
the telescope has shown beyond doubt
that they were once ocean beds, though
now, on this side at least, not a single
irop of water may be found. Whittier
has it gone? The moon, in its cooling
from circumference to center, has alb
sorbed it all, and like fate awaits the
earth itself in the coming ages. Her
atmosphere. too, has been absorbed,
though she doubtless was thus envel-
oped. When our planet, too, shall have
cooled TO its center, n process slowly
going on, it will have absorbed all of
its water and air and will thirst for
more.
On all the earth there is not true
representative of lunar crater, the
nearest approach being that of the
Mauna Loa volcano of the Sandwich
Islands. The largest of them have,
like the seas and mountains, been given
names and bear the cognomens of dis
tinguished men of science. Tycho, best
seen when the moon is full, is visible
with an opera glass. 1t is forty-nine
miles ia diameter and three and one
fourth miles deep, Clavius is an enor-
nous ring, inclosing 16,500 square
miles. in which are several craters.
from one of which rises a conical
mountain "a. 600 feet in perpendicular
height. The largest of them all, Shick-
ard-so large. in fact. as almost to de-
serve to be called an immense plain. is
l49 miles in diameter, and surrounded
with a circular wall. in places 10000
feet high. which incloses an area of al
most 10000 square miles, to ill which
300 Lake Fries would be needed. So
immense is it that were a person to
stand at its center, his horizon would /
be above the ring and ne could not DC I
aware of his Imprisonment in a well |
10000 feet deep, but would seem to /
himself to be standing on a level plain. /
Linne-this little crater has been more +
discussed than any other. because it is
thought to furnish at least one in
stance of a change. Some sixty years I
100 it was described as being six and
lne-half miles in diameter, and SO con
,picuOus as TO be used by two astrono-
ners as fundamental points Of the
scenery of the moon. In ls66 Schmidt
that the crater appeared to
be under a cloud and since then only
IN exceedingly. small crater IS just wish
de where LinncAvas. This IS the most
eliable evidence ,vhich can be cited of
hange in any lunar object. ~ Prof.
