What One From the Lowe CoiiMenalory Says About Thorn This jHuutli the Time for Tlu ia. - f-,' s In speaking of the meteoric showers which can bo seen on the nights of the 15th and lGlh of this month, the following is taken from a member of the Lowe conservatory. Of one of the periods in the past he de scribes it thus; "Not one was seen to reach the earth, though many were very bright. The sky was very clear and the moon absent. It was a rain storm without a cloud, . lightning without thunder. What made the deepest im pression upon my youthful mind was the death-like silence above and around me. Seeing" such a display of energy going on and hearing no noise J'.he silence wi s as depressing and solemn as in a room of the dead. "The shower was not visible in this country in 18G6, but was on the eastern continent. On No vember 15, 18G7, while the earth was passing through one end of the dense swarm, having the previous year passed through its center, I expectod something of a display, and was not disap pointed for I counted nearly 1, 100, the greatest number was seen in the southeast and northwest with very short trails. The line must bo sharply drawn between shooting stars and bolides, from some of which heavy masses fall lo the earth called meteorites, or meteoric stones. On tlio other hand no shooting star has ever been known to reach the earth, the encounter with, and friction of the atmosphere, intantly re ducing them to vapor. "Many meteoric showers are known. Prof. Denning, of Eng land, our best authority on me teoric astronomy, enumerates some 200 or more. This Leonid shower, as it is called, will re peat itself again, commencing a little after miduight of Novem ber 15, lasting till dawn, and not on tho 14th as some have pub lished. There is a bare possibility that it may bo on the morning of the 16th. It would bo well, how ever, to begin tho watch on the 14th. "Lewis Swift. "Lowe Observatory, Cal. Twelve Suililors Lost. As a result of Monday night's storm comes the news that the steamship Oolwell was wrecked and twelve of the crew were lost, Capt.

The Line of Education of tlio Boys ami tifrls There The Study of Fashions Vice-President Ilohart Popular. From onr Regular Col respondent. Speaking of schools, we are now having the usual annual family row over tho public sys tem in this city. They claim that we are running too much to tho fine arts, and neglecting the good old three Ii's. It seems that tho schools here turn out plenty of girls who can toll you when Mars is in perihe lion; but very few who know any thing abuut helping their own "mars" with the house-work. A Washington boy, who is posted on international law, differential calculii, and all those primary studies, recently asked tho writer what a Senator is. Come to think of it, though, that is not such an easy one to answer. We all know what a Senator ought to be; and what ho would be, if we but wore the toga. But what Senator is well, that's another question to lay before the house Washington girls are evidently willing to help along the pro posed reconciliation between church and stage. In addition to other reasons, of course, they used to go to church to study the styles; but now they go to the theatre. Time was when the leading lady played "Ophelia" and "Topsy" in tho same dress and sometimes wore that elastic garment in "real life"; but now adays, stage gowns aro made in Paris and aro very gorgeous in deed. Washington is now recog nizod as tho very foremost "not night" town of tho country, and is just as proud of the fact as a boy of sixteen, when a girl of equal maturity alludes to him as a "man of the world." So' be sides going to the play to be amused, or shocked, or edilied, our indies go to study the fash ions, and Washington girls have the best of opportunities in that respect. Tho social side of the administration may suffer this Winter on account of the con tinued illness of Vice-President Hobart. Mr. Ilobart will hardly be able to resume his duties in the Senate until the latter part of January. lie is a lavish en tertainer, and is well liked in society, llowever, there is one house that will bo open. When you come to town, don't go to an hotel, but take your carpet-bag up to 1747 Rhode Island Avenue, for that's where cousin George lives. There is a little mild murmur ing over the scarcity of good oysters, due perhaps to the strikers at Norfolk. Dealers say that this will have the effect of gaining more recognition for the very excellent varieties that come from North Carolina. With Washington oysterless, life would be indeed a shell-fish exis tonce. The Ways of Crime. John Coleman had taken the vows of a husband, He became too intimate with his wifo's sister. His wife died suddenly and under .suspicious circumstances last February. There was prob ably a rude jar in l ho turn of illegitimate lovo and the sister-in-law threatened to tell. Colo man met tho woman and shot her dead and then put tho pistol to his own head and tired, thus placjng the woman beyond the 1 sower of testifying and himself beyond being e fleeted by the testimony. It oceured near Lovelace, Wilkes county, a few days ago. Both leavo children. Best Looking Side of the Fare.

He spoke from evidence given him by his wife, supported by evidence from four other parties who were passengers on the train on that day. "From the light of all that is before us and after consultation with our informant we wish to say that our evidence shows no conduct on the part of the Py thians that was more than a jolly set of companions on a picnic occasion wiUld have carried on; and besides, proof is not conclu sive that the disorderly ones were Pythians, nor that any of them were drunk. Wo think our article was harsh and unjust to the Pythians as a body, and thero is no evidence against any omi individual.

There is a largo number of peo ple here who don't do anything brt work in the granite quarries the year round, when flu W' Mier is not too bad. There : thousands of car loads cf y line granite all over tli's : (', ion. The rough granite i ; valuable, but the wo;'!-: ':putoiiit to get it in the proper shape is what counts. Tho contractors do all their busi ness by mail, writing and answer ing letters.figuring on jobs of dif ferent kinds and telling people what they furnish certain kinds of work for on board of cars in their city. Lots of people pet granite from this place, and send the money for it, and never see the man or men that they deal with. They hear of them and know tl em as business men and granite dealers. Tho mail route along this way is a great blessing to this section of the country. Large packages af newspapers come to our otliee for tho people in this settlement JT Wyatt, of this place, is 4 year? old today, and in order '0 remember his birthday ho u,: natus a 3-fool mill-stone (now cut ready to ship) to the Oxford orphan asylum, at Oxford, N. ('. If they, or any ono interested, will sell it, the money can go to the asylum, all except one dollar to pay for hauling it to the Salis bury depot from Faith. If Faith had a railroad she would grow into a city in a very short time. The people make horso troughs, hearth rock.-., bases, steps, door an! window sills, cemetery and street curb ing, and building stones, and many other tilings out of gran ite, and it will last until Gabriel blows his horn, for we quarry hands to all como and take rest.
