IMPORTANT LETTER
FROU A
XE3LBES OF THE FRANKLIN INSTITUrE,
On the "Meteoric Shower."
Mr, Series Editor: We stayed up last Tues
day night, according to the recommendations ot
the Astronomers and the Director of the Police
and Fire Telegraph, to see the "stars fall," ac
cording to the word9 of the latter functionary ;
tout in the words of the former, the "Meteoric
Shower." I have heretofore found no difficulty
in sitting up to get the election returns, but to
sit up till 3, or perhaps 6 o'clock in the mora
ine, to see such an unexciting object as a star
fall, and no money in it, required one to be In
the spirit or, more matter-of-fact speakinp, the
.spirit in him. The following "diary" which I
kept of this important astronomical event, will
do to refer to in all luture time, as well for the
Philosopher as for the Director of the Fire and
Police Telegraph:
Ten o'clock P. M. Mary commenced setting
the table in the Library previous to making
observations in reference to the stars. I asked
her for the key of the sideboard, in case I
could not find my opera-glasses, that I might
look there for them. Did look there, and re
moved some other glasses to the table. We
did not see the opera-glasses. Looked out of
the window; saw but one star in the street
Policeman 28.
Eleven o'clock V. M. Door-bell rin?s. Ar
rival of Ned, who came, according to promise,
to watch the stars with me. Ned thinks tbey
are best seen through "smoked glass," as the
sight otherwise might hurt our eyes. We there
fore lighted our cigars, and began to smoke
the glares, also the window curtains. Looked
out of the window; even "Star 28" had disap
peaved. Ned suggested that we try
tOOKTMO THROUGH GLASSES.
Twelve o'clock, midnight. We are now joined
toy Aleck, who is of the opinion that the stars
might fall a few hours in advance, and that we
kad better watch very closely the first hours of
the morning. Aleck was shown the glasses we
u jut-pared lor that purpose,
through one of them. We heard
and looked
a noise, and
all rushed to the window, and there was
Sir ft

Ji charge of policemen Nos. 28 am! 40, which
IS'ed was said was a Meet-her (hie) display on
the rart of the city stars. We all turned away
tromthe sight, and Aleck proposed that we
hiould go through some calculations, and
examine the glasses best adapted to the pur
poses of our present observations, and passed a
lafls to me for my inspection. After examining
the glasses, looked out of the window again, and
Jound the atmosphere quite hazy.
One o'clock a.M.-It becomes more certain,
irom the phosphorescent appearance of things
out of doors, that the stars or something is
30ing to fall. Ned sugt, that we ill look out
f the window,

for over a quarter of an hour, Aleck said he
saw something that looked to him l!k
(IVr "T "I j'".-fT'" mw
WSrnrnm

"JOB'S COFFIN."
We all finally saw it, when it sank suddenly
below the horlnon and disappeared. We got
down from our positions, feeling a little un
steady from over-exertion in the cause of
science, when we again returned to examine our
glasses, found them empty, filled them, and
again commenced operations.
Two o'clock A. M. Things b ooming more
hazy, both indoors and out, evidences of the
"meteoric display" beginning to thicken, as also
does the atmosphere in our room. The glasses
now are all sufficiently smoked, and the whisky
even tastes smoky (the whiskv was used lor
cleaning the glasses). Aleck called my attention
to the street lamps, which began to "shoot;"
and other things in the street, and the lizhts In
the room, begin to manifest signs of unsteadi
ness. I held On to the rlinir hnk- whlln T trind
o light another cijrar. A strontr haze around
tho pus-burner prevents me from finding it
readily. Nod has gone to slrcp.purposlng to
wnke up when the tire-bells strike. Aleck and I
determined to set it out.
Three o'clock A. M No stars now visible nut
of the window; we therefore shut the blinds and
try our glasses. Aleck says it would be better
for the eyes if the glasses were colored. We
both color them with a decoction of logwood
and other Btuil'. lkth begin to think that we
see stars.

THIS IS ABOUT THE TIME WE SHOULD SEE THEM.
Try two more colored glasses, and the display
becomes beautiful. Aleck moves a vote of thanks
to the Astron (hie) astronomers, and to the
Telegra (hie) graph fo-fo (hie) folks for the
beau ihic) beautiful displa (hie) ay.
We now think that we hear a ringing in our
cars, which we tnke for the alarm bells, signi
fying that the "shower" is taking place. We
waken up Nod, but we can't find the .window;
we conclude, therefore, to postpone looking out
ol doors for the present, nnd to continue our
observations indoors with the colored glasses,
as our success heretofore has been altogether in
that direction. The bells have ceased ringing.
I notice that Aleck, in trying to waken Ned, has
himser fallen asleep under the table. 1
consider the time spent in the investigation of
the meteorical phenomena not warranted by
the results. More bells ringing, and on opening
the blinds I discover tbem to be on the horse
cars, and it is daylight. The clock in the drug
store across the way shows it to be twenty
minutes past 9 o'clock; the time since 3 o'clock
has passed very rapidly, and w Ith Aleck and Ned
it is still passing, as their snoring is quite audi
ble in every pait of the room, and the atmo
sphere in the room is s-till hazy. The chairs and
movable furniture bear evidences of a very
restless night.
Dear Editor, seriously speaking, I don't think
I shall bo caught out in another "Meteoric
Shower," at any rate without an umbrella, for
ever since that one the other night I have felt
worse, and Aleck and Ned have not been near
the house since; and Mary, my wife, says that
they had better not come, as she has a job of
"crow picking" for them.
You may print these few notes if you think
they will help the cause of science, of which I
am a disciple. Your friend, Allen Bogos,

I feel 1 do not deserve, I would sugjest a visit to

of humble parentage, but I have (it you permit
me to say so) the spirit of the eagle, which

on tne mornin on wnicn 1 went to the Mooseum

to take me there as quick as his Arabian charger
could ito. The driver was under the inflooence
of beer, and narrerly escaped runnin over a

remonetratid with him. I said. "That nnnr nld

I enjoyed myself very much looking at the
Eeyptiah niuuiniys, the Greek vasis, etc., but it
occura to me there was raytner too many
' Roman antiqijitys of a unccitin date." Now,
I like the British Mooseum, as I said afore, but
wnen i see a lot oi ennen jugs ana pots stuck:

at a loss to 'zackly determin whether they are

can cry like a child over a jusr one thousand
years of age, especially if it is a Roman jus; but
a jug ot a uncertain oute aoesn'i overwhelm me
with emotions. Jugs and pots ot a uncertin
age is doubtless valuable property, but. like the
debentures of the London, Chatham and Dover

The statute of Anollo is a urettv slick statute.
A young yeoman seemed deeply impresc with
it. He viewed it with silent admiration. At
home, in the beautiful rural districks where the
daisy sweetly blooms, he would be swearin in a
horrible manner at his bullocks, and whacking
em over the head with a na.vior; out nere, in
the presence of Art, he is a changed bein.
I told the attendant that if the British nation
would stand the expens of a marble bust ot my
self, I would willingly sit to some talented
sculpi.-t. "I feel," I said, "that this Is a dooty
I owe to nosteritv." He said it was Lily Drob'l.
but he was inclined to think that the British
nation wouldn't care to enrich the Mooseum
with a hiiRt nt me. altho' he ventured to think
that if I paid for one myself it wonld be accepted
cheerfully by Madam Tussau J, who would srive
it a prom'nent position in uer vumuer oi tior

thankt bim'kindlv.
Alter visitin the Refreshment-room and par
takln of half a chicken "of a uncertin age." like
the Roman antiqultys I have previsly spoken of,
I prepared to leave. Aa I passed through the
animal-room I observed with pane that a bene
volint person was urgin the stuff't elephant to
accept a cold muffin; but I did not feel called on
to remonstrate with him, any more than I did
with two youag persons ot difTrent sexes who
had retired behind the Rynosserhoss to squeeze
each other's hands. In lack, I rayther approved
of the latter proceedln, for it carrid mo back to
the sunny spring-time of v Ij'e. I'm in the
shear and yeller leal now; but I don't forgit the
time when to squeeze my Betsy's hand sent a
thrill through me like follin off the roof of a
two-story house; and I never squozed that gentle
hand without wantin to do so some more, and
ieelin tbat it did me good.
Truly yours, Abtemub Waed.
