H ETURNING to my home, then in
 R Bbb county, Alabama, after Gen. eral Lees surrender in April, 1865, I had been there only few days, and was sitting on the front porch of my house. which fronted the old Elyton public dirt road leading to Marion, Ala. Being alone, I was longing to see my comrades with whom I had been so long. They had returned to their respective homes. I could not help feeling sad and lonely.
 l was feeling as blue as the blue sky above me, and debating in my mind what I should do, and how to start life anew, when suddenly I heard the chatter of horse hoofs approaching. I looked down the road in the direction from whence the noise came, and spied q Federal cav alryman approaching. He galloped up the road, and when in front of where I was and about one hundred yards away from me he halted, dismounted, and pro- ceeded to lay low the corner of a rail fence that enclosed a corn field. As soon as he could lay the rails aside and had the fence sufficiently low for his charger to enter, he led his horse into the field and proceeded to march straight to a fodder stack that the negroes, who were living on the farm, had made and left standing in the field when they pulled

moons the inner one of which races around the planet in only two and one half days, while the outer one requires only thirteen and one-half days in which to make the circuit. It will be remem- bered that our own moon goes around the earth in twenty-eight days. While a month on Uranus, reckoning by the near est moon, Is but two and one-half days long, the year, on the contrary, is eighty-four times as long as ours, for Uranus occupies eighty-four years in passing around the sun. Only an inhab- itant who lived to a good old age would therefore be privileged to see the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, on this planet.
 On figure 2 there are shown a few of the interesting objects In this part of the sky. Each round dot of this figure represents a star. the size of the dots showing the comparative brightness of the stars. while each triangular dot shows the position of a star cluster or nebula. Each double star is marked D. each triple star E. each red star R, and each variable star V.
 The clusters will well repay examina- tion. Those at l.. S and are rather loose clusters. but are fine objects in a small telescope. Those at w. o and Q are densly crowded clusters of faint stars the first being surrounded by a

Having secured all, or as much as he could tie up with his tie rein and carry away, he mounted his horse. drew the fodder up on his back and started out to the gap he had left open.
 I believed that the war was over, but at this period of his enforced hospitality my war blood was boiling hot, so l arose hurriedly from my chair, leaped inside the house, reached up to a rack and took down an old flint and steel rife that I had left loaded when I enlisted for the war. I then sprang back to the front porch just as the soldier came out of the field through the gap, and was start ing down the road to his camp. which was a few miles away. I raised the gun to my shoulder took good aim at him and pulled the trigger.
 The flint struck fire, but the powder in the pan of the gun flashed up cloud of smoke into my face and eyes. Finally the sharp report of the explosion of the old rife rang out equal to the report of a twenty pound parrot cannon. As soon as the smoke had cleared away I looked in front of me to see what had hap

rising in the east to take their places
 A watch of only ten or fifteen minutes will make this motion very evident By 10 o'clock the group Aries will be well up from the ground in the east while below this, In the position occupied by Aries in figure 1, will be seen the constellation Taurus, with the beautiful Pleiades and Hyades. Between these two groups most striking star will at once be noticed, a star very much brighter than any of the fixed stars In the east. This Is the planet Jupiter which is rising earlier and earlier each evening, and which will for many months be the most beautiful and conspicuous object in the heavens.
 The possessor of a small telescope should not fail to look for the planet Uranus not only because it is in more favorable position for observation than 1t will be again this year, but also be- cause 1t is in a very rich region of the sky and Is surrounded by many beauti- full objects which will well repay exami- nation. To make this easier a part of figure l Is shown on a much larger scale in figure ?. This figure is a map of the stars enclosed within the square at the bottom of figure 1. These may be very readily found on the sky by noticing that the stars A, B, c, F, and K are the same on both maps. Below and to the right of A. figure 2, will be seen a fourth magnitude star DTf to the left of this therc is row of thrce-sixth magnitude s+~~s of wrirh tho 0niddle one s Uranus.
 The observer will probnblv have no diff'cultv in finding Uranus with the help of figures and 2. but when found its ap- nearance will probably disappoint him. It's apparent diameter Is only four sec- onds that is it only appears to be about one-tenth as large In diameter as Jup- tier and therefore in a small telescope it 'oolSs olooe+ oxactlv like a rather small greenish star. Yet if the observer will comnare the planet with the other stars near 1t he will soon notice a diff ference Tn the character of It's light or lustre, while if he has access to tele- scope of four or five inches aperature

I T IS the purely autumn consultations
 which may be seen covering the face of the sky during the early evenings of September. A last glimpse of the strik- ing summer group Scorpio may still be had, but this constellation Is rapidly sink ing low down in the southwest, and will soon disappear for another year. At the close of the month the Peades and the Hyades, the first of the winter stars, may be seen just above the ground in the east, telling us that summer is indeed over and that winter is at hand. Mean while 1t is the less striking but no less beautiful faint autumn groups which are with us.
 Directly overhead will be seen the bril- liant Vega, with the northern cross on the east and the delicate little oval figure known as the Northern Crown to the west Below the Northern Cross Is the bright group Aquila, or the Eagle, while further south, e< the point where the milky way meets the ground, is the large faint group Sagittarins, or the Archer Arcturus, the largest star of the group Bootes, may still be seen driving ene

 The planet is so inconspicuous in the telescope only because 1t is so enor- mously far away.

It's density is still very low, q cubic foot of Uranus would only weigh one-fourth as much as a culoic foot of our earth. and apparently many ages must pass away as it shrinks to- gether and eools off before it can sup port any form of life which we can con- ceve of

Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A writer who spends his summers at the seashore tells the following story: An ignorant countryman who saw the sea for the first time was much i'm pressed with the effect of the blue water, and asked fisherman if he could tell him the owner as he would like to buy gallon to take home to his wife. The fisherman replied, proudly:
 "Us, me man-we own it!'
 Lands sakes!" exclaimed the rustic. Could you sell me gallon for fifty cents ?"
 Sure said the fisherman; and he disappeared, returning in few mo- ments with jar of water, for which he received the countryman's fifty cents.
 The latter departed with his pur- chase. Returning later in the day, after the tide had gone out, he gazed in silent wonder at the water, which had receded from the beach.
 'Lumme!" he exclaimed, don't they do a trade!"

Fish in South Atlantic.

 Fish in South Atlantic.
 Most of the fishing of the Atlantic fleet is now carried on in the South Att lantc. A considerable number of sperm whales have lately been taken in the neighborhood of Cape Town. The right whales-those, that Is, which yield whale bone-are found only in more frigid wa ters, north and south The whales of both species are said to be more difficult to take now than formerly. As a New Bedford captain said the other day, "The difference between now and the first days of whaling Is that the whale is more frisky and nimble than he used to be. He gives us more sport for our money and he dies harder than his brother of a few years ago. From ob- servation I should say that in the first days the hunters struck the patriarchs of the tribe. the quiet, old fellows who were dosing away their days on top of the water: and now we are getting down to the tough grandmothers and grand fathers" To take these nimble chasers modern appliances in the way of acid harpoons, dynamite guns, explosive har- poons and darting guns are employed.
 Most of the sperm oil which comes to New Bedford in casks is thick and of dirty brown appearance. It Is refined in the factories here, giving in the various processes, first a crude oil, then refined sperm oil and finally spermacet. Such whale oil as reaches New Bedford for re- finement is still in considerable demand for Illuminating purposes, especially for the headlights of engines. These products are dispersed to every part of the union and make up a really considerable bulk In the New Havens freight shipments from the city; although of course the to- tai is small compared with that of ante bellum days.
 An important part of the shipping bus mess of New Bedford consists in prepar- ing supplies for the Portugueses whalers of the Azores. These hardy followers of the sea have discovered a great fc lness for American products. At this writing the staunch merchantmen Harry Smith is being filled with immense stores of wheat flour sef-raisng buckwheat New England pickles, canned apples, corn, tomatoes, pepper sauce. maple syrup, mustard molasses. saltines and various other articles. usual and surprising which the islanders who follow the whale up and down the lanes of the Atlantic like to live on. Needless to say that if 1t had not been for the Portuguese sail ors who serve on both foreign and Amer ican ships the whaling industry would hardly have persisted to this time; the New Bedford ships are manned with them in this era when American boys no longer take to the sea.

GREAT DECLINE IN WHALING INDUSTRY New Bedford Still Leads All
 Whaling Ports THE LIFE IS PICTURESQUE Although Whaling Fleet Is Now Small, interesting Scenes Greet the Wis ltor on the Wharf at New
 Bedford, Me.
THE LIFE IS PICTURESQUE

New Bedford, August 19-(Specia1)- It looks like old times on the wharves of this city for the whalers are coming in with heavy cargoes of oil and whalebone. Whether the whaling industry is or is not in process of revival no mere out slider can say. Even the wise are not wise as to next year and the year after. Some of the authorities in this ancient whaling port believe that the tide has turned, or-to change the metaphor that the New Bedford whalermen have again struck oil. Others say that the ships for the last year or so have been more than ordinarily lucky, but that the best catches of today would have been considered but slim fares in the brave days of old. For naturally in such a town there is always more or less signing for the glories that have departed and contrasting of the fig ures of the sos with those of the pres ent time. It's pessimist against optimist doubting Thomas against enthusiastic Peter. Those who are hopeful hold that the Jonah has been lifted from the whale business; the others continue to croak their Jeremiads.
