Some English astronomers have of late
mode the planet Mars the object of their
?unusually careful study and inspection,
and, os might be anticipated, with seve?
ral very interesting and ou rio us results.
The oceans are easily distinguished from
the. continents, the former generally
wearing a green-bluo tint, while the lat?
ter are of a well-marked reddish lino.
At times large masses of olonds, or what
tho observers oonsidered as suob, were
seen to float over the seas and continents,
covering these with a whitish light until
after their passage or disappearance, the
original colors ot tho body of the planet
became again apparent. By comparing
the observations of two different astro?
nomers, taken during the same period, it
was found that a certain well-known sea
-was partially concealed from view by o
great cloud-mass spreading over many
thousand square miles of its surface.
But as the hours passed tho clouds
Boomed to be melting away, whether by
the heat of tho sun or because they had
fallen in rain, it was, of conreo, impossi?
ble to say. Referring these phenomena
to tho day of the planot, it ?was ascer?
tained that the clouds had come ap in
the early forenoon ond disappeared
about noon. Tt wonld also seem from
these observations that, as a rule, the
mornings and evenings upon Mars are
misty, and that, as on earth, winter ia
more cloudy than summer.
The news from Venezuela is more re?
assuring. The latest advices state that
President Bianco is determined to pacify
the country. Ho has placed tho town of
Barcelona in tho hands of the Govern?
ment troops, his fleet is active and effect?
ive in preventing tho landing of insur?
gent troops, and he has ordered a large
quantity of ammunition from the United
States, so that nothing shall bo wanting !
to assist him in completing his viotory j
over the rebels. The prisons of the
State are fnll of captured political pri?
soners, who are thus placed beyond the
possibility of doing any further misohief
for the present. Qen. Salzar, the invin?
cible, has returned and at once made his
presence known by issning a proclama?
tion condemnatory of the President and
the manner in whioh he hos dealt with
the insurgent captives, but no notioe ap?
pears to have been taken of tho docu?
ment.
The New OrleauB Mlrailleuse, a War
mouth Radical journal, says that "up to
the hour of the meeting of that conven?
tion, wo do not believe that there could
have been found fifty men belonging to
the Republican party in Louisiana who
had any doubt on tbe eubjeot of the
State being carried for Grant, or any
disposition to vote for anybody else; but
the moment the people saw United
States troops brought to control the
action of their convention, suoh a revo?
lution as was never known in any oom
mnnity took plaoe, and everybody saw
that the State was lost for Grant in
1872; and there is bat one thing that
will restore the Grant feeling-that is
the prompt removal of Casey, Packard,
Lowell, Joubert, and tbo whole ring of
Federal office-holders In this oily.
Should General Grant hesitate, he is
lost, and lost not only in Louisiana, bot
in the whole country."
Mr. Gray, of Boston, recently discov?
ered a non-explosive illuminating fluid.
To show how Bafe the new oompound
was, be invited a number of h'm friends
to meet him in his rooms, whither he
had brought a barrel of the fluid, which
he at once proceeded to stir with a red
hot poker. AB he went throngh the
roof, accompanied by his friends, he en?
deavored to explain to his nearest com-,
panion that tho particular fluid in the
barrel had too much benzine in it, but
the gentleman said he had an engage?
ment higher up, and could not wait for
the explanation. Mr. Gray oontinued
his asaeut until he met Mr. Jones, who
informed him that there was no neoessity
lor him to go up higher, as everybody
was coming down; so Mr. Gray started
back to be with the party. Mr. Gray's
widow offers for sale the secret for the
manufacture of the non-explosive fluid
at a reduoed rate, as she wishes.to raise
money enough to bu; a silver-bandied
ooffin, with a gilt plate, for Mr. Gray.
MURDEH AND SUICIDE IN CONNECTICUT.
A telegram, dated New London, Sep?
tember 14, says:
This quiet oity io to-night in a fever
of exoitement over a shook i Dg murder
and suicide. A half-breed Indian,
named Leonard Rogers, has been despe?
rately in love for a year or moro with
the young and beautiful Hattie Lewis.
This noon, she left tho oity and went
out to the suburbs to tho little village of
Waterford, and there was met by Ro?
gers. Tbo house whore they met is of
bad repute. Angry words passed be?
tween them, and Rogers took a pistol
from his pocket and shot her dead.
The murderer then fled, but soon re?
turned to the scene, took the revolver
from his pooket and placed it at his
temple, and shot himself dead.
Twenty-fivo years ago, a terriblo fire
burnt tho lower part of Nantucket; 400
buildings were destroyed, among thom
the Athen rou m, with a valuable library
and mnseum of curiosities. Every night
. since, a watchman has sat in tho tower,
whioh looks North, South, East and
West, and kopt gnard over tho town.
In the tower is a watokman's dock. So
for a quarter of a century tho town has
slept secure in the faith of tho watch?
man, and his vigilanco has not boon re?
warded by a singlo Aro in nil that timo.
Bluncliduicn, In California.
.A coupla pf weeks ago. I started, on e
visit to Yosemite Valley. Tho Stockton
boat leaves San Francisco at half-past 4
in the afternoon. I arrived at the wharf
just a moment too late to get on board,
and instead of waiting till the next day,
I determined to go to Stockton on horse
book, by land route. I accordingly
orosaed tho bay to Oakland, or as it is
better known, Little Peddlington, pro?
cured a horse and rode over to Liver?
more Valley, where I stayed all night
with a ranohor, who was known in the
valley as Clamps. They all call him
that, bocauso ho got rich by holding on
to his money with a degreo of fortitude
not universal in this country. Well, as
suppor-timo approaohed, Clamps asked
me if I would have some egg, and how I
preferred it-hard or soft, boiled or
fried. I told him thot I would, and
that it would suit mo best soft-boiled.
In a few moments, there carno Clamps
and his wife, rolling an egg the size of a
flour barrel, which they boiled in a short
timo in a largo cauldron, and then sot it
up on ono end alongside of madam's
chair at the table. A hole was made in
the top of the shell, and the egg was
dipped out with a long-handled ladlo. I
was astonished at tho size of the egg,
and observed that his hcuB must be
enormously large.
"By no means," ho replied. "You
will not be so mnoh surprised when I
tell you that one hen did not lay this
egg alone-it took seven or oight nene
almost a week to lay it. It was a joint
stock produotion of tho chickens, but
still it is better than tho individual re?
sponsibility plan.
At breakfast tho next morning, we
had more egg, and then I went on the
road to Stockton and reaohed San Joa?
quin river at noon, and was, with my
horse, ferried over in a very unique
looking craft. While tho ferryman wac
tugging silently at his big oaru, I started
a conversation with him by inquiring
whether hiB ferry was very profitable.
"It does not soaroely pay for raising
the boat," ho replied.
"Raising the boat?" I repeated. 1 'Who!
do you mean by raising the boat?"
"Mister," said he, resting for the
while on his oar, "you be a stranger ir
these parts, beant you?"
I replied that I had not been long it
the country.
"Then," said he, pointing away to thc
field, "this here boat growed in tba
punkin pateh over yonder."
"Growed in a punkin patch!" I ex
olaimed.
"Growed in that punkin patoh, on i
?unkin vino. Mister, this boat is a pun
in shell, cut in two and the innardi
taken out. That patoh is where i
growed."
"Where-over by that barn?" I in
quired.
"That is not a barn," ho answered
"unless you choose to call it so; that's t
punkin, too. But I started a bolo it
the end of it and let the stock inside it
and when the wet season sets in, wh?
you see I jist plug up the hole and le
them winter in thero. They come ou
awful fat in the spring. That big greon
looking squash over yonder, I am hoi
lering ont to live in."
"Are these the growth of tho season?'
I asked.
"We do not bavo no sich diff?rend
hero on the San Joaquin OB growing sea
sons and them others; things keep oi
growing all the time till we pull them o
they die."

A LKOIHLATTVE D IF FI C D LT Y.-At til 6
last session, of thc Illinois Lc gi sis turo, a
proposition was entertained to hold the
next session at O h io ago, although
Springfield is tho eapital of. tho State.
The question appears to have been loft
in an un satisfactory plight, as the Liou
tonout-Governor, the presiding officer of
tho Senate, announces that he shall call
that body together at Springfield, on the
15th of November, while the Speaker of
tho HOUHO of Representativas declares
that he shall open the latter branch of
the Legislatura at Chiongo, on tho samo
day. In case tho two branches havo oc?
casion to meet in joint aonvontion, they
may compromiso at a half-way poiut.
A LrvTNo HEAD ON A DEAD DODY.
In Iowa resides Jamos T. Anderson,
aged twenty six. Three years ago he
died from his neck downward. His
head, however, is alive, and more vigo?
r?os and active than beforo the body
which it onoe governed ceased to be
vital. At the age of two James' father
died, and bis mother soon married again.
At the ago of three he was tossed several
times by an angry cow. Shortly after?
ward, while be was eating bread and
milk, a rattlesnake joined him, and when
the two had finished, his Bnakeship
made bis bow and retired. At fivo years
old a horse ran away with him, and
made for a stable, across the entrance of
which was a bar. The horse rushed in
nuder the bar and his mother seized him
jnst in time to save bis life. He grew
ap active and strong, and was fond of
sports. Ho became a good gymnast.
James, at the time of tho accidont
that left him with u dead body and liv?
ing head, was a fine, hnndsome young
man. He weighed 200 pounds, and
there was not a superfluous ounce of
flesh on his body.
One afternoon, when on a visit to an
nnolo at Glenwood, Iowa, he was exercis?
ing on a polo plncod from one tree to
another in the back yard. He had on a
pair of gaiters, tipped with patent
loather. He swnng down from the pole
by his feet; the leather Blipped, and he
fell. Ho Btrnok his neck jnBt where it
joins tbe shoulders. He was bewildered ;
but perfectly conscious. His body felt
as though smashed to a jelly. He expe?
rienced a horrible tingling; and when
tho doctor came be told bim not to tonoh
him, as his body WOB broken to pieces.
His neck was broken, inflammation sot
in, and all thought his end was como. To
tho surprise of all, in a few days ho
began to mend. Ho was shortly after
removed to his step-father's house,
where he still resides.
Time hang heavily on his hands, and
he resolved to learu to write with his
mouth. He accomplished this, and, as
he says in a letter to Mr. J. Nutting, ho
soon wrote a tolerable good mouth. He
is now frying to paint, and hopes by
this moans to earn something for his
support. He has been, and still is, ten?
derly cared for by his sister, herself a
cripple, and speaks in the highest terms
of tho step-father, who, thongh a poor
man, bas shown him every kindness.
His worst enemies aro the flies which
buzz about his face. Ho holds a leafy
twig in his month, however, and man?
ages to twirl it about in a wonderful way
and drivo off the tormentors. This case
is without a parallel, except that, of John
Garter, of England, who was injured in
a similar way, and who became a famous
painter.-New York Sun.
How SAL DISGRACED TIIE FAMILY.-A
traveler in tho State of Illinois, some
years ago, came to a log cabin on the
prairies, near Cairo, and there halted.
He went into the hoaso of logs. It was
a wretched affair, with an empty packing
box for a table, while two or three old
chairs and a disabled stool graced the
reception room; the dark walls of which
were furthor ornamented by a display
of tin ware, and a broken dolf article or
two.
The woman was crying in ono corner,
and the mon with tears in his eyes, and
a pipe in his mouth, sat on a stool, with
his dirty arms resting on his knees and
his Borrowfnl looking head supported
by his hands. Not a word greeted the
interloper.
"Well," said he, "you seem to bo in
awful trouble here; what is up?"
"Oh, we are most crazy, noighbor,"
said the woman, "and we ain't got no
patience to see folks now."
'.That ii all right," said the visitor, not
much taken aback by this polito robu fl";
"but cnn I be of any service to you itt
all this trouble?"
"Well, we havo lost our gal; our Sal is
gone off and left us," said tho man, in
tones of despair.
"Ah! Do you know what induced her
to leave you?" remarked tho now arrival.
"Well, we can't Bay, stranger, as how
she is so far lost as to bo induced, but
then she bas gone and disgraced us," re?
marked tho nilliotod father.
"Yes, and not as I should say it, as is
her mother, but there warut a pootier
gal in the West than my Sal. She has
gone and brought ruin on us, and on
her own head now," followed the stricken
mother.
"With whom bas she gono?" askod the
visitor.
"Well, there is the trouble. The gal
could havo done well, and might havo
married Martin Kehoe, a capital shoe?
maker; and though heniu't got but. ono
oye, plays on the flute mighty well and
enrns a good living. Then look what a
homo, what a lifo she has deserted? Tho
gal was surrounded by all the luxury in
tho country," said tho father.
.Yes, and who knows what poor Sal
will havo to eat, driuk, or wear now,"
groaned tho old woman.
"And who is tho follow that has taken
her from you to lead her into such
misery?" quoth tho stranger.
"Why, d-u him, sho hus gono off
and married a critter culled an editor,
as lives iu town, and tho dovil only
knows how they aro tomnkoliving."
A SMART FELINH.-Thomas oats gene?
rally are not celebrated for their talent?,
except in the musical lino, bat there is
one owned jost at tho edge of the city
who makes himself agr?able in a way not
often adopted by his kind. He has long
bad a habit of following members of the
family in which he resides into the city,
and we have it from ono of the gentle?
men that his right arm has been elonga?
ted three inches within tho past year by
constant throwing of stones to drive baok
the cat; notwithstanding which treat?
ment, he generally Ands pussy awaiting
him on the road home, when he is going
towards it lute at night, and frequently
a half a mile or moro from the house, to
which ThomuB alwayB returns with "the
last ono of tho family at home," positive?
ly refusing to enter the door until the
lost one is housed. Recently the gentle?
man turned his flock of bens out to grass
in his own dominion; but, OB is the cus?
tom with hens, they prefer to go into u
neighbor's field. Tho cat, buying seen
the raiding hens driven from tho field
several times by their owner, has at
last mastored tho situation and appoint?
ed himself a guard; and no sooner does
a hen creep through or fly over tho
fence, than the cat goes for and cir?
cumnavigates her, drives her back across
the road to her lawful scratching
grounds, and then quietly resumes his
watoh in the cellar window. It is sup?
posed that this cat could speak good
English, if he choose
i ^ . ?
SHARP SHOOTING.-Tho following dia?
logue on "sharp shooting" quietly took
placo between a Virginian and a Yankee
picket:
"I say, can yon fellows ?hoot?"
"Wall, I rccon wo can, some. Down
in Mississippi we can knock a bumble
bee off of a thistle bow at 300 yards."
"Oh, that ain't nothing to the way we
shows up in Varmont. I belonged to a
military company ther' with 100 men in
eaoh company, and wo went out for prac?
tice every week. Tho oap'a draws us up
in singlo file, and eats a cider barrel roll?
ing down tho hill, and each mau takes
hi? shot at tho bung-hole as it turns np.
It Is afterwards examined, and if there
is a shot that didn't go in the bung-hole
the number who missed it is expelled. I
belonged to the company ten years and
there ain't been nobody expelled yet."
