PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT NEWBERRY, S. C. THE STAR OF BETLEHEM' It was a Miraculous Phenomenon. and Haa Appeared Only Once. r Prof. Chas, A. Young in Sunday School Times.] The star of Bethlehem craze has broken out again, and the papers are printing more or less extensive and sensational articles upon the subject, and predicting the reappearance of the star in August next. The notion is based upon the well known fact that in 1572 a brilliant "temporary, star" was observed by the great Danish astronomer. Treho Brahe, in the constallation of Cassiopeia, and the further fact that old annals con tain statements, more or less vague, of siiliar appearances in the years 942 and 1264, and in the same part of the heavens. From these facts certain persons with remarkable logical agility havE deduced the very questionable infer enee that all three phenomena werE appearances of a single object, whice is supposed to be a variable star of the same type as Omicron Ceti, or Mira but with a period of over three hun. dred years, instead of eleven months. Furthermore, reckoning back three periods of three hundred and fifteer years each would bring us to the Chi istian era ; and this satisfies ou enthusiastic investigators that the "star in the east," which heralded the nativity at Bethlehem, was identica with the star of Tycho. The star of 1362 appears to havi been by far the most remarkable anc finest of all the twelve temporary star. sa far observed. It was a magnifi cent object for several months; s< brilliant that it could be seen at mid day,-rivaling, and perhaps outshin ing, Venus even at her brightest. Tycho observed it with great care and fixed its position with all the ac curacy attainable in those pre-tele scopic days ; but this degree of accurac is insufficient to enable us to say witi with certainty whether the star is, o1 is not, identical with some one of the numerous telescopic stars now visiblh in the immediate neighborhood of the place he. determined. This place is very nearly on the prolorgation of the line drawn from Gamma Cassiopeih through Kappa, and about one and half degrees from the latter star,-just on the northern edge of the Milk' Wav. Twro reasons make it very improba ble that Tycho's star can be a trui periodic variable. In the first place th< period is too long. No knowi variable has a period exceding tw< years. In MIr. Chandler's catalogu' of two hundred and twenty-fivi variable stars (the most recent an< trustworthy of such catalogues), the periods of one hundred and eighty ar given asdetermined with more or iss certainty. Only four of the one hun dred and eighty exceed five hundre< days. As to -the remaining forty-five it may be noted that twelve are temn porary stars which have been observe< only onee, while fourteen are irregu larly variable; that is, not periodic This leaves nineteen in respect te which observations are not yet suffi eient to decide their exact character The second reason for doubting th periodity of Tycho's star is the rapidit with which it blazed up. in the cas of all known periodic variables of th MIira type, the increase of lighti grad ual-more rapid than the fall it is true, but still not sudden. Th star usually requires some weeks to at tain its maximum. In the case c Tycho's star it is probable (the evi dence is not quite conclusive), and ii the case of most of the other "tempo raries" it is certain, that the bright ness reached its limit within a fes (lays, or even in a few hours-the sta flashed out, so to speak. As regards the question whethe .Tyeho's star could have been the "sta of Bethlebeni," it would appear suffi eient to point out that in the latitud< oft Palestine it would have been seen a a "star in the north," never a "star ii the east." It is true that nineteel hundred years ago the distance of Ty cho's star from the celestial pole woul< have been (on account of procession about ten degrees greater than now but this would still leave it "circum polar," so that, as seen from Jerusa lemn, it could never have appeared tF overhang the manger at Bethlehem. To sum up, wye may say, then, t'aa while we cannot absolutely assert tha Tycho's star cannot possibly be identi cal with the stars of 945 and 1264, such identity is extremely improbable, an< there is not much reason to expec that the star will ever reappear. Tha this body is the same as the "star ii the east" of the G;ospels is more that simly improbable, and has never beet mnai ntaine~d by any authority wortd not icmg. It is ext remielv diflicult to reconcili the scriptural account with anythin1 but a purely miraculous phenomenon The~O only nion-sup)ernatural hypothese - de.erving:r a mnomient's consideratiot are, that rhe star was a brilliant comet which somewhowv escaped record in al other contemporry annals; or elst the hypothesis of Kepler, that the phe nomnenon was not a simple star at all but au raron, or celestial configura tion of hi:gh astrologica' significance according to the theni prevalent belief --such, in fact, als tile remarkable triple conjunct ion of the groat planet .1 upiter and saturn, which actuall; occurred in the year B.

How Sturgeons Are Caught Out In Winne bago Lake. [New York Sun.] They fish with fishlines six miles long in Winnebago Lake, Wisconsin, and use 20,000 hooks an every line. If they don't haul up 2,000 fish every time they lift a line they don't think they are having very good luck. And every fish will weigh from twenty to seventy pounds. That's the way they fish for sturgeon out there. One of these fishlines will reach half way across the lake. It is a rope an inch in diameter. It is stretched out into the lake by means of boats, large buoys being attached to it at intervals to keep it on the surface. The 20,000 hooks, baited with pieces of meat or fish, are lowered to the bottom of the lake by snoods of the proper length which are fastened to the main !ine. It takes twenty boats, with two men in each, to look after this big fishline. Each boat has 1,000 of the snoods in its charge. These are tied to the main line 18 inches apart, and to bait all the hooks once requires not less than 1,000 pounds of bait. It takes the forty men and twenty boats ten hours to set the line for the first time. After that the fishermen are employed in going over the line, hauling in the sturgeon that have been caught on the hooks, and rebaiting where it is necessary. To haul in a seventy-pound sturgeon from the bottom of the lake is an ex citing piece of work ; but it requires more strength than skill, as the fish always has the hook several inches down his throat, having sucked bait and all down without any regard to consequences. There is no danger of losing the fish unless the hook breaks. When the fish is hauled to the surface agaff as big as a meat hook is thrust into the boat and knocked in the head with a heavy maul. The hook that capture3 it is cut out of its throat, rebaited, and thrown back into the lake. The aver age catch of sturgeon is one to every ten hooks. When a boat is loaded with all it can carry of sturgeon the fishermen row back to shore, where others take the fish and dispose of them. The fishermen know the par ticular sections of the line on which they work by the arrangement of the buoys. These are placed ten feet Iapart, and one in 150 of them is painted red. The space betwcen the red buoys contains 1,000 hooks. The seciions are numbered and the boats are numbered. The boats work the sections as their numbers correspond with the section numbers. While the average catch is one sturgeon to ten hooks, it is no un common thing for the fishermen to find but one or two on an entire sec tion of 1,000 hooks. The very next Ssection may contain the full average of 100 and perhaps more. The Lake Winnebago sturgeon is Shighly prized among the lumbermenl and others in the region. Its flesh is Sfiner and of better flavor than the rlver or salt water sturgeon of the East. The fish sells at cents per pound retail. Large quantities are salted and smoked -for use in the lumber camps. THE CO-OPERATIVE METHOD. A Practical Experiment by the State Alli ance Entirely Satisfactory. [Special to News and Courier.] GREENvILLE, April 17.-The State rAlliance Exchange of South Carolina, of which State Senator M. L. Donald son, of this county, is manager, and whose head office is located in this. city, is probably the most important and far reaching undertaking that the -Farmers' Alliance in this State has ever fathered. While operating indepen dently of and under a separate organi zation from the Alliance, it is very closely related to the Order and is re ally its "business bureau." The Ex change has now been in operation for three months and its success has been such as to firmly establish it in the confidence of the Order throughout the State. In the three months $.50,000O of business has been done, and the volume is constantly increasing. The Exchange is a regularly char tered corporation with an elaborate machinery, permeating every county, township and neighborhood in the State. The plan of the Exchange was first submitted to the 1,000 or more Sub-Alliances in the State for ratifica tion. Each Alliance ratifying the plan was entitled to subscribe to not less than one share for the first thirty-five members, two shares for the first sixty five, and so on, accorninig toa regular schedule. Each Sub-Alliance elected a trustee stockholder, and the sub-trustee stock holders in each eounty selected from their number a county trustee stock holder. The county trustee stockhole' ers in turn elected nine directors, one from each Congressional district and two at large. The directors elected Col. J. C. Coit, of Chesterfield, presi dent; J. W. Ferguson, of D)arlington, secretary and treasurer, and the Hon. M. L. Donaldson, of this city, man ager. The State Exchange has a paid in capital of about $1:2,000. This sunm is held to form a commercial bank.ing and is not available for running expenses. The current expenses, including the salaries of its officers, are defrayed by the brokerage and discounts allowed by dealers and manufacturers on business transacted through the Exchange. The maximum amount of brokerage which the manager is allowed to col lect is fixed by a schedule prepared by a committee of the directors appomnted for the purpose, the idea being to secure fr.om this oure simplyeanonah t ov a be running expenses. If the business hould be so large as to cause t he bro :erage fund to exceed the expense ac ount the surplus would be covered ato the treasury and every stockholder could get the benefit of it in the form f a dividend. While the satries or he officers of the Exchange : -e fixed ,y the directors, they are not guaran eed, and are purely contingent on the mount of brokerage collected. The business of the Exchange is con [ucted with extreme caution, every afeguard being provided against irre ularities of any kind. All orders from ub-Alliances come through the coun y agents and are accompained by the ash. These orders are based on prices !urrent issued weekly, and distributed .11 over the State. The'prices quoted to he buyer include the brokerage and are wholesale quotations. The Alliance neniber buying through the Exchange s;thus, by the bulking oforders through he Exchange, enabled to obtain goods n retail lots at wholesale prices. All unds derived from brokerage of dis ,ounts are turned over to the treasurer, md neither the manager nor any one Ise can draw on that fund exret't hrough the treasurer, with a dralt yountersigned by the president. The manager is required to make a report :o the president monthly of all busi aess transacted by him and of all com missions and brokerage collected. The county agents are required to make similar reports to the president, so that the two reports act as checks upon aach other. The State Exchange is regarded as being yet in its infancy. Manager Donaldson is crowded with work night and day. The business is growing rapidly and the prospect is that the record of $ 40,000 of business for the first hree months will be far out stripped when the fall season opens. As the plans and methods of the State Ex change become better understood among the members of the Sub-Alli ances the patronage grows with a rapidity which indicates that the Ex change may become a tremendous business factor. T. E. 1 The Shocking Outcose of ain Annatuer Show. [Froni the Buffalo Courier.] BURLINGTON, IoWA, April 1.-Bur lington's "four hundred" are horribly shocked over the predicament in which a number of their leading young ladies found themselves after the close of an amateur entertainment at the Opera House on Thursday night. The enter tainment had been gotten up by Mr. and Mrs. Howe, travelling managers, who came here five weeks ago and be gan the rehearsal of a carnival militaire, a pretty and beautifully costumed en tertainment. Mr. and Mirs. Howe furnished the costumes, and the participants were all prominent ladies of Christ Episcopal Church Guild. Mlany of the young ladies had donned their stage costumes at home before going to the Opera House. D)uring the evening a sherifi from a neighboring city appeared with an attachment on the entire piaraipher nalia. When the curtain fell on the last act the young ladies were horrified when informed that they could not take the costumes from the building. A great hubbub ensued, but the sher iff' was immovable, and the result was the young ladies were compelled to gc home in neglige attire. A Florida Post Offiee Crippled.

JA Front the Courrier des Etats Unis.] ( Bismarek refused the title of I)uke i the ground that nis income was not A uflicient to enable him to support the urdens which the thing would bring pon him; but in reality he refused ecause he could not very well accept H n honor which might look like a .on >ensation for his removai. We have he most trustworthy information to )rove that the fortune of Bismarek at he present moment may be estimated it more than $100,000 income. He is >ne of the largest landed proprietors of 01 Prussia. He owns a brewery, a paper actory, a saw mlil and distilleries. He was always proud to say that every thing that was consumed in his house was the product of his own property. rhe donations givel to him on several S >ceasions formed the greater portion >f his fortune. His property at Varzin was purebased by hirn in 1516, after' he war with Austria, with the :3;0.00 which were then presented to him. After the war of 171 Enperor William N :ook out of the indemnity milliards 80o0,no for M. de Bisnarek, and this un served to purchase the great do nain of Frederieisruhe. This latter ! astle is remarkable for its siniplieity. b lhere are somle poirtionis of it that are si iimliy whitewasned, and without any er >rnanentatioll whatever. Up to I845 Bisinarck was obliged to live rather nodestly, and, as he hiniseif admits, he did not resist the temptation of anmblinr, in the h;ioe that chane bvotld favor him. rhe in heritance of lis father bettered his pecuniary situa ion and brought hin the property of rehoenhausen, and it was shortly after h hat when he married Johann'a von E'uttkaner. t< For sonie time Bismarck's charity cc vas ta-erly siolicited, but the old ti lhancellor w:s always eeononieal, and it ie rarely responded to :appeals far aid.
