bursts Of temporary stars such as those
observed by Tycho Brahe in 1872, by
Kepler in 1904 and those Of 1S4S, 1866,
1875, 1885 and 1892, the last being the
new star Auriga, which declined through
ten magnitudes, or became 100, 900
times less bright in two months. The
great increase in the light of q comet as
it approaches the sun may be duo to a
tidal disturbance in the bodies forming
it, causing them to knock against each
other, and thus generate heat and light.
In the same way the twinkling of the
stars may be caused by the knocks of
the molecules of the atmosphere Oh the
ether, whose undulations carry their
light to US. The excessively great and
the exceedingly small are all interde-
pendent, and the past, present and prob
able future of nebulous bodies all hinge
ON the relations they bear to the knocks
Of the molecules of their gases, while
the knocks Of immense bodies depend
ultimately ON the knocks of their nonstit-
uent atoms.

FAITHFUL UNTO A r

The Fidelity of the Slaves DufiAg the
Civil Wal to BE Commemorated.
The fidelity of the slaves during the
civil war to the families they served has
long been a matter Of history and ac-
knowledged as one Of the noble quail
ties Of the African race.
A more substantial recognition is to
be made of it in the village Of Fort
Mill, s. c.. n Of whose citizens is
about to erect a monument iii honor Of
the devotion Of the southern slave, and
the authorities will give it a place in
the public square. The monument will
be q tall shaft, having on one side q ne
gro woman nursing her masters babe
and on the other a negro man holding
an agricultural implement.
1t is proposed to inscribe it with .
passage from Henry w. Grady, conclud-
ing with these words: "Often 500 ne
groes to a single white man, and yet
through these dusky throngs the women
and children walked in safety and the
unprotected homes rested in peace. On
marshaled the black b~attalions moved
patiently to the fields in the morning to
feed the armies their idleness would
have starved, and at night gathered
anxiously at the big house to hear the
news from marster,' though conscious
that his victory made their chains en-

perial party was nearly carried of its
feet by the rush of partially clad blue
jackets, scampering to their stations.
ShutSer posts and breech blocks few
open, brlkhead doors were closed, mag
azines were opened and charges hoisted
up for the guns. In what seemed to the
emperor ala incredibly short time silence
reigned again. Men and officers were
standing at their guns, the executive Of
icer had reported the ship ready, and
all stood silent and attentive, waiting
the captain further commands.
The emperor timed it all, and found
that just l minute and 80 seconds had
elapsed since the sounding Of the call to
quarters. He expressed himself as great
ly surprised at the celebrity with which
an American mar -of-war is made ready
for business.
Throughout these nocturnal doings,
the royal standard Of Germany was
floating from the mainmast Of the cruis-
er, in the blaze Of the Columbia's pow
erful searchlight, which was kept stead
lily on the standard, in order that all
might know where his majesty was. Ac-
cording to the officers of the New York,
the spectacle wa as picturesque as the
incident of the visit was interesting.

cts, caused them all to swarm to the
railing and cheer themselves hoarse as
the emperor left the ship.-New York

The argument used by the representa-
lives Of the railroad companies before
the state board of equalization at Pierre
to secure a reduction OF assessment was,
first, that they we're paying a higher rate
OF taxation in this state han in any
other state; secondly, that there earn

so much. The showings made by the

PUBLIC POLICY DEMANDS 1T.


The North American Review for
June contains an article written by
an Englishman, a member Of par
lament. in which is proposed a
cable post. or submarine communi-
cation by wire at cost that would
place it in the reach of all. A
price of three cents is proposed
for social messages--about the cost
Of sending by letter-so small as
to be hardly worth taking into
account at all. The Anglo Ameri.
can cable tariff helps TO accumu-
late business in the hands of few
operating on a large scale, and to
accentuate the inequalities of dis.
tribution, while it effec tually cuts
of all electrical communication be-
tween the masses divided by the
Atlantic. Electricity has been ap-
propriated by long-headed trust,
just as nearly every other good
thing has been on both sides of
the ocean. The poor man knows
that this subtle force pervades all
nature, even to his own body, and
that it was intended to be the COM
mon heritage Of humanity. He
hears the long roll of thunder
among the hills, he shrinks from
the lightning flash, he is exposed
to the storm which follows. But
if he would avail himself of the
marvellous powers Of the ubiqui-
tous subject fluid to send mes.
sage of life and death, he is
promptly reminded that such lux
uries are only for the rich.

In reading the above the people
are reminded of the days gone by
when Bob Ross, Boudinot and
Scales were so determined as lob
byists, in spite of the patriotic mo.
tive of Chief Joel b. Mayes and
the Downing party, to lease the
the Cherokee Strip to tho lowest
bidder, and in the days in which
Bob Ross so kindly misled the two
gentlemen under his pursuasive
wings of 20 per cent. which their
astute minds proved to be such
powerful levers in prying out the
national treasury into his own
pockets, causing a clear loss to the
Cherokee people of sS, 10000.

The Pompeiions had first rate
water supply. Lead pipes lay
very near the surface all over the
city. Fountains and wells are
found in houses, streets and
squares. The handsomest of the
basins have been removed, but
great numbers of public drinking
fountains are still standing. The
water rose inside of a sculptured
pillar and fell into a basin from
an orifice usually designated as
the mouth of human figure or
some legendary monster. A per-
son desiring to drink would nat
urally approach the fountain on
the right Of this figure, and, plac.
ing his right hand on the edge OF
the basin, apply his mouth to the
lips of the face from which the
water spouted. And you shall
see today the marble edge of the
BASIN worn smooth and the lip ol
the image quite worn away by the
hands and lips of generations OF
those who here slaked their thirst
1900 years ago.

that "Bob Ross" has held eleven
offices in the Cherokee nation, one
of which was treasurer, and "yet
he is poor man." end then it
adds, 1--WE hope it is 30 disgrace
to be poor man like Bob Ross. Z"
Well, judging from the fashion the
Cherokee officials have establish
ed, it is not only a disgrace to be
poor after holding eleven offices,
but it is prima facie evidence of
fool. Bob Ross ought to be
Gagged up before becoming violent.

yINITA RECOGNIZED.

Thus far Vinila has been duly
recognized and honored in the way
of nominations by both political
parties. As it now stands we have
three nominees for the senate-one
in Delaware in the person of our
popular young friend, Judge Mack
Landrum, whose election is prob
ably as sure as that of any candi-
date in the field for office, not ex-
cluding Sam Mayes even. And in
this district we have T. F. Thomp-
son OF the National party, whose
sterling qualities as a gentleman
and a good business man are well
known, and were he not on an ex.
ceptionally weak ticket, would be
elected. And in the person of Jno,
T. Gunter we have a candidate fol
the senate whose election is prac
tically sure and who will carry a
good deal more than the party
vote in nearly every section Of tht
big district. And for a seat il
the lower house we have c. C.
Cornatzer on the Downing ticket
an intelligent, progressive citizen
one whom the town and distric
could rely on as a Representative,
in the lower house of our nationa
council. And in addition to al
this the Downing party in Della
ware has yet to make its nomina-
tions and may remember Whit
with share, which vii
certainly be appreciated and sup
ported-if they are Of the righ
stripe.
