truer sentiment than the {Ulltflvlfigir-
“A republic can never be comprehended
either by it own citizens or by foreign‘
ers so long as it is supposed to be an in-
vention for reducing or raising all trien

invention for permitting all men to find

“\Yliile there are complaints of delay."
writes the \Yasliiltgtoli correspondent of
the New York Ill-raid. “the records will
show that President t‘leveland has rriade
more important appointments iii the
four months and a half he has been in
office than any other President. with the
tmsstble exception of President Lincoln.
There are still a great number to be
made. but the applicants for them “‘lll
are to contain themselves. for those
ho do not receive appointlnents inside
of the next five days will hardly receive
them before the middle of Uctobcr."

of the terrible accident which occurred

A DAY AT HELL GATE.
The Engineers (lettlug Ready for the
Final Explosion in October.
An interesting account of the Hell
(late channel improvement is given by
Lieutenant Kirby. who has charge of a
section of the excavation. lle says that
80.000 cubic yards. or 168.000 tons. of
rack have been taken out of the channel.
All this rock, if in a solid mass, would
beequnl in size to a building 200 feet
square and 110 high. The explosive are
being laid With great care. and there is
no danger to be feared from the dyna~
mite unless it is injudicously handled.
“We have 37.500 six pound powder
cartridge. to lay.“ said Lieutenant Kir-
by. “and the drill holes in which they are
being confined are to be stopped up with
10.000 dynamite cartridges. weighing
two and a half pounds each. A pre-
mature explosion would ruin $1,000,000
worth of work. besides the lives of all
connected with it. You know that if a
dynamite charge is exploded, all the
other charges within twenty feet will
explode simultaneously. Thus. if there
were miles of cartridges—and we have
four miles hero—laid within twouzyufeot
of each other. and one exploded. the
rat would follow at practically the some

The drill scow used is the strongest in

and covering several acres. into whic
the 169.000 tons of rock have been

to be interested in newspapers. arid was
once seen reading a paper in his cave
north of Woodbiiry. A gentleman in that

distance from home and gave him some
pennies. but when he returned he found
the same number of older looking ones

ice-storms last winter he arrived at Mr.

just at night. They tried in vain to
persuade him to remain. They followed
him to apiece of woods. where they
saw him gather up some sticks that he

August comes richly laden with
planetary events. Yerius. the fairest cf
the stars. pays her respects to her august.
brother Jupiter. to tho swifbfiioted
Mercury, to the slowriiovilig Uranus.
while she fills out her portion of
planetary work by a close conjunction
with liettt Yirgiiiis. and fulfills her
monthly ditty tothe moon. Jupiter. the
prince of planets pays lils court twice to
the smallest of his brethren. who can
out-rim hilu in the race. if he can do
nothing else. Saturn. the ring~girdled
planet. and Mars. the god of war. meet
and change places on the celestial road.
arid both planets pay their respects to
the little star. Mu (lelninorum. the
approach in the case of Saturn being
almost an appulse. 4' of arc the distance
between them being. in celestial mathe-
matics. a small space to intervene b ~
tween two heavily bodies. The light of
Jupiter grows dim and fades away:
\‘enus slowly advances to easy visibility
and will soon put on queenly apparel;
Mercury deigrrs to show his bright face
to terrestrial observers: Saturn is superb
with his wide open rings. and the day
of Martian importance nears the dawn.
The August moon falls on the 25th.
twcnty~fivei minutes after midnight.
Saturn is morning star. and b ' far the
most interesting of the three planets
that precedes the sun. He rises on the
lat. about two o‘clock. and when August
closes. makes his appearance just after
midnight. He is now a lovely object to
reward the gaze of the observer in the
aural] hours of the morning. The
mysterious rings are open to their widest
extent. the planet is drawing nearer
perihelion. and is also approaching the
earth. By the last of September. he
will be above the horizon at half past ten
o‘clock, and will not. only be delightful
to behold with the unaided eye. but. will
he in rare position fortelesoo lc research.
Mars in morning star. Besi as being in
conjunction with Saturn on the sixth.
is also very near Mu Geminorum.
Thus. Mars, the star. and Saturn. are
almost in but). the star being very near
Saturn. The rare ‘uxtapoaition occurs
at three o'clock in e afternoon. when
it will be invisible. Al small telescope
will, however. reveal the actors in the
scene in near approach. and the exhibi~
tion will ninply repay the efforts required
to get up so early in the morning.
