4l New truter in the Moon,
Nature stat"9 that I)r, Hermann J. Klein
ol Cologne, di.scoverud some time ago, on
the moon's surface, a great black crater on
the Mare Vnporum, a nil a little to the
northwest ol Hie well known crater Hvgin
u. He describes the crater as being abc.ut
three miles in diameter, being deep and
full of shadow, and as forming a conspietis
OH8 on the dark gray Mure Vnporum. The
appearance ol this crater is new, seeming
to iodicale that the surface ol the moon is
subject even now to changes of a vo'.cauic
nature.
A Story ot l'roelor Knott.
(From the Capital.)
Jones tells 119 a good story of Proctor
Nnott. It will be renumbered that, in the
tall of 1800 Knott, then refilling in Mis
souri, was elected attorney general on the
CUib. Jarksnn ticket When Frank BUir
Bi'i.o 1 the S' rtt.tr n I Missouri in 18(11, he sent
olil Colonel II irustun, at the head ol two
U-rmao regiments. Irom St. Louis to take
possession ol J-dTcrson City, Bornstcin
was a RcvnliitionLt of '48 and a native of
JIfse Cassed. At his approsch Chili,
Jackson fled In Neosho, accomp mied by
all the State otlisials, except Knott imd
one other. As soon us Bornstcin had
established hiniiell in possession with
headquarter at the State house, he sent a
corpnal and a file ol men to collect those
( a invnts of the 3'ate government which
Jackson in his Imstu had left, hehia I. The
corporal collected our J. Proctor along
with the other fragments, and marched
him up to hcadq larters. where Bornstcin,
in lull regimentals, with sword and pistol
by his 8Mb. and seated in the great chair
oi tho chief justice, received him.
When Knott was presented to him,
liornstein begun a speech ia follows ;
"Mr. ddorney Shcueral : Der rcfol
ti-ui ish now gnmblede. Der modcr'nil oal
der Shdtate guflirmei.t isli now in undish

gullernient upon dor dhrue basis ool der
jnstituiion lor vich our foreladers blet und
died "
"Allow me to interrupt you, colonel,"
Knott broke in solemnly.
"Certainly," said Cornstein, wit enor
mous (.THvity.
" I merelv desired to conserve the nccu
;acy of history," pursued Knott. "You
observe. Colonel, that the context of your
rrmnik would lead to the inference tlmt
your lorefathcrs and mine fought shoulder
to shoulder in that, conflict. Hut if you
Still reler to any reliable account of Ben
nington or Trenton or Piinceton. 5011 will
find them represented as lacing each
other on those fields 1"
"Ooiboral," rejoined liornstein, sadly,
"dhake dot man avay ; e-henrt him py his
house vere he lilc, and blace him unter
guard till lurder orter."
Knott tells me, says Jones, that he has
Uftyer since ventured upon a, joke at the ex
pense ol a Dutchman, particularly it he
aa a native at Uess-Cus-el.

had occasion to call attention to tlo be

and the vigor and energy with which the
work was being pushed by tho street com
missioner. It now becomes our painful
duty to tpll what put such a sudden peiiod
to tho cseitinnu of said commissioner.
Among oilier picoes nl work instituted by
the commissioner was the tilling up ol the
holes just beyond the Episcopal chmcli.
In doing this it was necessary to level the
breast works aud throw tiio dirt into the
water, i I so the combination ol in, id and
water made a deep and adhesive paste.

gone into sloi.k raising on a largo scale
