Ha! that grim and grizzly spectre, 1 Him that sin to satau gave, , Death, the mighty king of terrors I And the grave. ' SNOW ON THE MOON. t Remarkable discoveries have been I wade at the Lick Observatory, Califor nia. Professor H olden, the director, has f secured through the big telescope better ! r.lwtoiiraDhs of the moon than have been tnl,.n onsnrWe filse. UQU tllO WOT 01 nhotozraDhini: Roes on every hour when the satellite is visible. By studying these photographs with a magnifying glass and comparing them any changes taking place on the surface of the moon may bo dis- i covered. I The astronomers on Mount Hamilton I have discovered some things that nobody S ehe ever saw, but they have not dcter- mined whether these are new features or I ihinira that are too small to have been seen through a loses powerful telescope. For example upon the top of one of the mountains of the moon the photograph shows a luminous white spot which looks like snow. If that is snow, and if it was not there before, the presence of an at mosphere is indicated. It has been be lieved that the moon has no atmosphere, and therefore is uninhabitable; but if it should be demonstrated that snow falls upon the surface of the satellite the ao ccpted theory would be upset, and astron omers would begin tostudy themoon with new and greater interest. Objects upon the moon are detected by their shadows, and a projection or emin ence fiftv feet high casts a shadow large enough to be seen through the Lick tele scone. If Professor Holden, studying his series of photographs, should discover some day a new shadow where none had been cast before when the moon was in the same position and under the same light, he would know that something had been erected upon the surface, either i pait of the crust upheaved by some inter nal movement, or a building put up by livinir creatures. The moon appear be a dead, desolate waste of played-out volcanoes and cooled off lava beds, with out atmosphere, and, like Arizona, rather short of water and good society. Phila delphia Telegraph.

He stood in front of the City Hall leaning on his cane and looking sharply at everybody passing up the steps. Me had been there ten minutes when I thought to do him a good turn by asking if he was looking for anybody in partio ular, and if I coald be of any assist ance. He was a man of quite fifty years old He had no overcoat. His plug hat was .l-t.,! .nil Wtprrrl and misused, His U.JUW MW V " clothes were shiny and greasy and worn In fact, he was a man who had been lett over from last year's stock, and was now t F utvl nd for sale cheaD. When uui v. v.v I addressed him he beckoned me to tol low him out among the shrubbery, and, as we reached a retired spot, he turned and whispered: "You can do me a good turn you will. I was watching for l'assett. want to have a few minutes conversant n with him. When he knows what I did fnr him nn election dav he will do the square thing by me." "Fassett? Fassett? Why, man, what should Fassett be doing around tie City Hall?" "New York's next Mayor!" he replifd ai he poked me in tho ribs. "I work for Fassett Fassett works for me. See ? Got him over a hundred votei. Boys all turned in to oblige me." "But Fassett wasn't running for Mayor; he was running for Governor." "Cert. I know that. Our ward gave him one thousand majority on my ai count. Boys all wanted to see me get a good thing. I did the fair thing by Mr Fassett; Mr. Fassett should now do the fair thing bv me, see? One hand washes the other. Can you introduoe mo?" "Haven't you read the newspapers?" "Of course. Always look over seven of the leading daily papers every day." "Then you ought to know that Mr. Fassett was defeated." "Eh? What? Got left?" "Certainly. Mr. Flower was elected Governor by a large majority." He stepped back and looked at me in the most solemn and earnest manner for a long minute. Then a sweet and peace ful smile illuminated his face aud he beck oned me further away from the old pea nut woman and said: "Did I say Fassett? I meant Flowii, of course. All owing to my enthusiasm, you know. I want Mr. Flower to know that I was the first man in my ward to raise his standard. I was for 1 lower first, last and all the time. Boys would have broken away a dozen times but for me. but I held them in line. Made seventeen of the most enthusias'ic speeches of the campaign, and paid out mv monev like water. Do mo ft favor a great favor?' "If I can." The peanut woman now approached and highly, lecommended her cargo, and solicited us to buy. The man looked down upon her with lofty contempt and then stretched out his right arm and com in a tided ; Interrupt not ,, uu,.., , the political councils of our nation!" Sh "rimmed." and he laid his hand affectionately on my shoulder and whia pored: "Are you a friend of Mr. r lower; "Yea." 'Then see him for me at your earliest opportunity. Make an appointment lor me, that I may tell him how 1 helped him to win this glorious llepubhcau vic tory." "Republican! Why it was a great Democratic victory!" "Exactly too much enthusiasm again. Labors of the campaign too arduous; takes time to recover, you know. Mean while" "Well?" "While waidng to see Fassett on my behalf advance me ft quarter for current expenses." T ,Unnp,vl it and he took mv arm l U - i - w and walked me down to Clumbers street and left me with this whispered admoni linn "See Flower, state my case. Hint tW I mi.'ht to be recouped.
