AwruL(?; op Course. The bloody

taken by the Democrats in Maine, who
nro now showing up the frauds com
mitted by Blaine and his confederates
at tbe late election in that State. Tbe
erimes committed by the "Christian
statesmen" indicated, aro equal to
those perpetrated by Mrs. Jonks, John
Sherman & Co., in Louisiana, Florida,
and South Carolina, in 1870, when
the Hayes Electors were counted in,
although never elected. Blaine has
tried tbe Jonks Sherman plan, but be
is likely to be dolcated in his damna
ble scheme and exposed bofore the
"grand moral idea" Tendon and tbe
rest of mankind. Scoandrelism, when
practiced by a Blaine or a Sherman,

. THE LAST VICTIM,
We notice that the editor of the
Now York Sun has resumed bis annual
dirty work ol libeling bis superiors.
Ho now niakos gruve objection to
Senutor llnynrd bucnuso "he is no
stulosiuun." No one but a knave or a
fool would allow himself to niako such
a remark. More: Tbo editor in ques
tion, with somo others, is a stalwart In
abusing and slandering his superiors,
and is always engaged negatively.
Tboy aro not satisflod with picking up
a oandidato and urging his claims
bofore the poople with their usual
ability, as becomes Domocrata and
stulesmcn, in all preliminary contests ;
but thoy drop their own candidate and
usually expend their talents in libeling
rival candidates. If common bonosty
and fair dealing with our party friends,
and evorybody olso, leads to tbis, we
have boon badly educated.
Our idea about tbis Is, that tho edi
tor of the Sun, and everybody else, has
tho right to advocnto the claims of
tboir respective candidates, from Pres
ident down to Constable, but thoy
Bhould never assail a rival for tho same
position only upon tho ground thatb
la diaboneet nr inoompotant. Ollfaide
of this lino ol demarcation, we esteem
it a crime for a candiduto or bis Iriends
to assail a rival. That Is our opinion
Who dure deny our position ?
Tue Siward itoours. That "irre-
pressible conflict" leader of Radical
ism, the Into William II. Seward, Seo
rotary of Stato under Lincoln, who
used to order the arrest of a promt
nont Democrat in Iowa or Maine, or
anywhere elso, by the ringing of a bell
had one of his sons mado Assistant
Secretary of State, and another ap
pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to
China, previous to the demise of tho
groat conflictor. But recent rovola
tions devolop the fact that the sons
are no better than the original. Hayes
has beon compelled to turn both out of
office because of their miserable "crook
odness." Tbe one plundered the poo
ple at Washington, and the other rob
bed tho Chinese, besides the American
and European travelers who happened
to find their way to the Celestial Em
pire, Tbe spectaclo is one of the most
disgraceful that bos ever happened in
our diplomacy, excepting the conduct
of the noted gamhlor, Schenck, who
robbed the John Bullites of thousands
of dollars by "turning up Jack." Tbe
Seward are square rogues. Tbey rob
bed the Innocent Schenck and plun
derod those who woro foolish onough
to play cards wilh bim. All, howover,
belong to the school of "moral idea'
vendors.
A Godly Witness. Mr. Beocher's
Christian Union cautiously remarks
that the "Republicans are throwing
thoir caps in the air over the Fall elec
tions rather higher than the Fall elec
tions really warrant. In Massachu
setts last year Mr. Talbot's plurality
was in round numbers 27,000; this
Mi, l.nntr'a is between one third
and one-ball that amount, il tbe per
petual candidate continues to gain in
the same ratio be will be electod next
roar. In Now York Mr, Cornoll is
elected beoauso of a lumily quarrel in
tbe Democratio party. Mr. Robinson
would have been elected If he bad been
either a weaker or a stronger man ;
either weak enough to be dependont
on Mr. Kelly in the city or strong
enough to be independent of Mr. Til
den in tbe Stato. Pennsylvania has
gone Republican by upwards of forty
thousand majority, but forty thousand
majority in Pennsylvania one Fall is
small indication what the vote will be
twelve months later."
Not So Lovilt Apter All. A co
tomporary remarks: Tbo organs which
were so swilt in denouncing tbe result
of the late eloction in Virginia as an
evidonoe of the dobt-dodging policy of
tbe Democrats are now waking up to
the faot tbat tbo Republicans were
chiefly responsible for that result.
Tbat careful and impartial Republican
observer, Mr. Redfiold, has beon look
ing over the field and discoveed to
bis amasoment and surprise that of
the white Republicans, soventy per
oent. voted with tho Repudiators, and
of the colored Republicans at loasl
eighty per cont voted tbat way. This
estimate puts three-fourths of the Vir
ginia Republicans on the sido of re
pudiation. Of course, the object of
this coallition, so fur as those It-publicans
are concerned, was the overthrow
of the regular Democratio organise
tion, and tbat object seoms to have
been very nearly reaobed.
Op Course They Do I It Is an old
saying that "young chickens always
come home to roost," no difference
whose premises they are trospassing
on during the day. The last case in
point is tbe following; "The colored
brother In Virginia, every man of bim,
voted on the 4th iiistant to repudiate
the Stato bonds, amounting to I IB,
000,000. The white voters generally
opposed tbe wholesale swindle, but
they were powerless against a solid
and overwhelming negro vole in favor
of rascality. The Republican capitalist
of the North, who, to a great extent
bold these repudiated bonds, will now
curse tbe darkey. Tboy gave him tbe
right of suffrage to lick tho Democracy
of the South, not to cheat his especial
friends,"
Cute. As tbe Hayes family bavo
been attending all the Agricultural
Fairs throughout the country the past
year, tbe Washington rout takes the
opportunity to announce to the public
that "until the County Fair season re
commences, Mr. II ayes will be open
to engagements for the dedication of
buildings." Tbis may be agreeable in
telligence to tbe "building" folks; but
those who make pilgrimages to Wash
ington to attend to public business, and
find "tbe Government" absent, will
not feel to good. Hayes' absenteeism
ia becoming as notorious as Grants'.

works wonders. Last Monday a week

half tbe people, may be a less numbor,

ceive messages by cablo from tbe re

was a great event not enly as showing
tho wonderful skill and capacity of

that through tbis subtle norve of na

our wants, wishes &c, instantaneously

wonderful forces of nature and their

A Bad Carpenter. Matt Carpenter
has bocn interviewing himself for the
Washinton bloody sbirt organ and
such other papers as would put bim in
print, and he tolls about tbat awful
Domocratio conspiracy to elect tbe
next President by fraud. Tbe House
is to be gerrymandered so as to make
a solid majority for the Democrats,
and the Senato is to be fixed up so
that it oan elect a Democratio presid
ing officer who, in the event of a failure
to chooso a President and Vice - Presi
dent, will become ex officio President
of tbe United Slates. Wo seom to
bave beard something like this before,
but It always comes from a Republican
source. The conspiracy is no part(of
tbe Democratic programme. It is the
mere nightmare which haunts the Re
publican party for tbe theft of the
Presidency. Matt Carpcnlor knows
that was a etoal, and he is afraid that
the plentiful progeny of iniquity which
his pal ty balchod on that occasion
will come home to roost. Philadelphia

It looks to us, at tbis distance from
the Held, as though tbo Democrats in
tbe Stato ol Maine were about lo prac
tice a Radieul joke on the "Christian

might be detected and possibly pre
vented, tho returns wuro studiously
kept lrora all but tho doctoral con
spirators until the crime of defeating
tbo well known will of the people was

it will teach the lesson most impress

The Hayes Boom. Tbe Washing
ton Posf remarks : "Tho Springfield
Republican puts on a solemn face,
and with an assumed air of candor
pokes fun at tho head of tbe abnormal
Administration by remarking that
there is a strong sentiment in New
England and all ovor tho country to
re nominate President Hayes, but it is
futile in the luce of Mr. 11 ayes' decla
ration in bis letter of acceptance that
he should not be a candidate lor re

got up a boom for Mr. Hnycs, that de
claration needn't stand in tho way
Mr. liayes was not elected, and we
should bo delighted to see bim try to
got Into tbe Wbito House by honest
means. There is no publio man whoso
candidacy would bo so acceptable to
tbe Democracy as that of Mr.
lluyes. Hut why will the Rcpvblican
persist in cruelly stirring up tbe un
fragrant memory of tbat 'letter ot'ac
ccptanco?' Why not give Mr. Hayes
a rest on that? It was tbat document
which contained bis solemn plodge of
civil service reform. It is as pleasant
for bim to con'.cmplato, now, as a mar

That jHilnw rvf tii Waaklnatnn fatii-

these two w orlbios after the counting,
in process was finished. Ho says :
senator Chandler was a bluff, out
spoken sort of a man. Ho eove Presi
dent Hayes a specimen of tbis quality
shortly after tbe Administration got
under way. Chandler was disappointed
and somewhat disgusted at Hayes for
not inviting tbe man wbo bud counted
bim in to continue as one of the Cabi

to nay his rospects to tho President

" Well, Chandler," eaid tho President,

smile tbat makes the offico-seckor feci
so bappy, "your old constituents wero
glod lo welcome you home again "
" Yos, Mr. President 1 1 mot wit h but
one man who seemed discontented.
Ue Is au old Republican, and taking
my band on seeing me, ho said :
'Chandler, I believe you aro an honest
man ; you never did steal anything but
the Presidency, and tbat, as il turns
out, is only potty larceny.' "
Tbe smile vanished from the faco ol
the Administration, and Chandler had
for lunch a slice of cold shoulder.
No You Don't I The ilarrisburg
Patriot, in tracing up tho facts in the
case, remarks : "The truth that Gen'l
Hancock had no share in tbo execution
of Mrs- Surrull baa been mado so mani
fest that those wbo repoat tbo silly
charge against him should abandon il
for very shame. Ho had no moro to
do with tho hanging of Mrs. Surra tt
than with the burning of John Rodg
ors. Her hangman was twice elected
Governor of Pennsylvania, and be has
no doubt absolved himself on tbe
ground that ho acted in tbe discbaige
of a military duty, without troubling
himself about the justice of the findings
uf llio Court Marliul. Tho execution
was nevertheless an atrocious military
murder."

Tbo Baltimore Gazette gets in one on
it in this way j " Ex-Senator Simon
Cainoron tolls an intorviewer that the
immediato cause of Senator Chandler's
death was undoubtedly over-exertion
in Iho late campaign. Il is strange
that a man who ran away from Bull
Run in tbe early atages of the war
should have actually killed himself try
ing to keop the country from falling In
to tbe hands of tbo ' Rebels' fourteen
years after tbe close uf tbo war. Zoch.

MORE MURDERS WANTED.
Tbe Now York Nation, advising tbo
Republicans concerning tbe Presiden
tial canvass, warns them tbat they
cannot with effect, evon with decency,
go into tbe campaign with tho two
murders and one assault on which thoy
havo conducted tbo canvass just closed,
and adds :
"Tbe Cbisholm murder occurred in
1877 and you used il in the elections
of last year. You have now used it
again, and camo very near having lo
use it alone. Tbe Dixon murder a
poor one at bust, in which one bull
dozing ruffian -and gamhlor killed
anutber camo to vou in tbe neck ol
lime, and so did tbo assault on tbo
postmaster at Blaekvillo. You must
remember tbut in ibo late canvass you
throw overboard ovory Republican
doctrine or argument except distrust
of the South. You got rid completely
of civil service reform, and you said
nothing, or next to nothing, about tbe
enormous volume of notes which the
Government has still outstanding, or
about ibo pile of silver coin which is
accumulating in tbe treasury, and
which possesses so much explosive
power. You were silent, too, about
Statu aliairs. Vou 1.11 back, in fuel
almost completely on Southern law
lessness, and tbo danger now is Ibal
you will bave tom into tho Presiden
tial cunvass with the weapons you havo
used in Ibis one.
"But you cannot go into a Presiden
tial canvass, or own go lo tbe Con
vention, and draw up the platform on
HlUtWttra pritictlllea, lll w-ekit but
two old, and iuduO.il ono might uy,
second band murders, You will, there
lore, need fresh ones during tbo com
ing Winter, and two murders collected
over an area as wide as the South and
from a perturbed and semi-bai burous
community will not be enough, even
whan dressed up with tho boat rhetoric
at ycur ccrsmsnd. .. Yea must hsve at
least a dozen to support tbo dreadful
picturo yon now draw ot Soutborn
society. The danger of this stale of
things is tbat your dependence on
minders fur your campaign ammuni
tion and your dislike to tuko up any
thing elso will during the Winter lead
you first to welcome them and then, by
a proeess wilh which human naturo is
only too familiar, to desiro them as
nocessnry to the salvation ol the party.
Tbat this wretched condition of mind
ought to be guarded against all or
most ot you will admit, and it can only
be guarded by such utterances between
uow and next June as will satisfy tho
party managers that tbe game which
bas just been so successful within tbe
party in this Mate can not bo played
over again in the larger field."
A Bia Job. Mr. Henry Ilerge, the
officious snimaltarian, bus written a
letter lo tho Society for tbo Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals at Cadiz,
Spain, suggesting tbut tbo young King
Alfonso bo petitioned, in view of bis
approaching marriago, to put a stop to
bullfighting. He does this as tbe
friend of the bull, though men aro of
ten killed by tbe infuriated animals.
It is not easy to seo why His Majesty
should select bis nuptial occasion to
prohibit bull fighting, or what connec
tion ihoro exists between tbe two.

slop the cruel sport by a royal decree.
Ho would not dare to do so. It would

and although a foolish partisan here
and thoro niny have sought tn give the

LIBERIA, THK LAND OF THE
star visa. .
The unhappy colored mun of the
South still continues bis movement in
tho capacity of fool-ball, now kicked
to Kansas and now across the ocean,
and again kicked to and fro over vari
ous portions ot Iho curtn. Kegnrtlcd
as a tool-ball, ho possesses a wmidroii
amount ol elasticity, it we may judge
by tbe experience of the last lot of bim
which dismul lato has kicked back
from the. desoluto scores, of Liberia.
Liberia is one of the most curious
countries in ibo world, as wo learn
lrom tbe conflicting testimony about
it. From tbo advocates of colonize
lion wo hear tbut il flows with milk
and honey, and other desirable articles
ol consumption and export that
the coffee crop is its strong buhl and
its hope uf fortune. Roso-colored pur
ties ol industrious and buppy Alricutis
ure pictured to us, each under his own
vine and his own colfee tree, healthy
and prosperous, contented and com
lorlublo. a Such pictures stand out in
fulicitoiis relief to lbs disgusted colored
person ot our Soutborn land, who toils
on a mortguged farm and pays thu
covetous white man lour prices lor
every household necessity and ovory
agricultural appliance. No wonder
sucb an oppressed agriculturist wauls
to go to Liberia and cultivate coffee.
But rose color and very dark coffee
color aro not more diverso than are
iho stories told of Liberia. The light
is shed on the sulij ct by tho re to in
ing remnants of tbo party wbo sailed
eighteen months ago, on the Azor.
I be Junes remarked, at the time this
vessel suiled, thul bcr passengers were
going in mi uuttrrtttnotv Ujlivtlil1lin
wbieb would result in loss and disss
ter. And so it provos. A f'ow dozen
of the way-worn travelers aro now
homo again, with tho most unpleasant
accounts of tboir experience. They
report that the plans or tho Exodus
Society tailed to sucb an extent that
tbo exodisors, on arriving in Liberia,
found ihomsulvos objects ol charity.
I bev bad paid lor passage and six
months' provisions, but found neither
provisions nor sheltor. But for the
exceptional mercy of tho Libermn gov
eminent they would bavo to lio down
and die. Tbut government, which is
leaner than the traditional turkey said
to havo belonged to Job, and poorer
than the mice wbieb have tboir dwell
ings in the churches, gave them some
salt pork and medicine. It also made
them an oner ot ten acres apicco. pro
vided tbey would take possession and
cultivate. But it might as woll bavo
ottered thorn tickets to the opera or or
ders on a lottery for capital prizes.
Tho poor emigrants bad no tools, nor
money with which to buy. Worso
than tbis, they were emaciated with
lever, which was all tbo country real
ly bad to give them. Had tboy been
supplied with hoes, rakes and spades
tho whole company could not have
cultivated an aero of coffeo property.
In iho lust stages of distress these
wretched peoplo now come back, hav
ing bad tbeir pussago paid by kind
friends, who wanted lo save ihem from
starving to death.
Perhaps these colored folks were
unusually shilllefs or ignorant or smit
ten with disease. Perhaps tbo peoplo
wbo mismanaged the Kxodus Society
wero more than usually stupid, or. as
it is suggested by somo of the rolurncd
emigrants, dishonest But it does soem
thai tho poor fellows who engaged in
tbis unhappy adrenturo would all havo
done better by slaying wbero they
wore. And yet it is announced that
the ship Monrovia is to tuko a Ihrgo
party to Liberia In December. Sixty
or seventy bave applied for paasago
and moro are expected to apply. Il is
comlbrting lo know that one of tho
party is a clergyman. Il will bo con
venient to bave him on hand tor lu
neral services. Of the three hundred
wtttf wmntr wfcror- cnnltrti vn ttiw AM
only sixty are now alive. Tho nior
lull ly is not so great among thoso who
ure sent by tho Colonization Society,
for tho society manages its affairs bel
ter than tho Azor people did theirs.
Still, any colored person wbo can
mako a living in this country will do
well to slay hero. And be who can
not get along hero will be sum to starve
in Liberia. Philadelphia Times.
The Stalwarts and Their Pet.
It is curious to watch tho move
ments of certain mon throughout tbe
country since Gen. Grant has landed
on tin so shores and been tho recipient
of so many and general ovations. Tbe
stalwart Radicals of course desiro to
make bim their candidate for Presi
dent, honco wo find Ibcm assuming
to tnko chargo of bim and so surround
ing him as lo prevent him coming in
contact with other parties wbo have
designs on him, but not exactly In the
direction ol stalwartism. It is not
sure ibal Grant wants lo be considered
a stalwart, as we find in his lato Chi
cago speech, sentiments tho diverse of
those held by Conklinu;, Blaine and Iho
late Zach Chandler. Those sentiments
were put lorlh on an extraordinary
occasion and as if intended to beget
confidence in him in another quarter.
It.le nlo well known that Grant pro
poses to make a tour of tbo Southern
States noxt Spring, all of wbieb indi
cates tbat bo Las a desiro to enlist tho
feeling iu thai section in his beliaT.
What may follow if he should compass
this feeling is yet to be told. It may
disconcert the plane of tho stalwarts
who aro now so demonstrative. At
nny ralo wo believe bim and somo par
ticular friends to be playing a deep
gamo that is yet to bo unveiled in the
lutnro. Danville Intelligencer.
A Likely Alliance. From what
ia now transpiring in Europo, wo
would not be surprised to seo Russia,

luluro for the purpose of checking the
menaces of England and Germany, al
though but a lew years bavo elapsed
since a ternuio connict raged between
ihem. The billowing is tho lulost on
tbis point: A dispatch lo ibo London
Vailg letegrapn lrom Constantinople,

ibal tbo Sultan has been gained ovor

is rumored that Osman Pasha will
shortly go to Livadia on a special

A dispatch from Vienna to tho Times
says: '-Home people think that Aleko

It is as a soldier only, and not us a

ho livod a few years longer, he, like
they, might bavo been called to sup

nature wben bo bado adieu to bis old

lo tbo call ot their respective Slates,
believing it to bo Ibo call of duty, and
in obedience to bis own stern sense ol
right, brought his troops out of a
seceded stato, and took bis place in
tho army that was preparing lo make
war upon bis own bomo and kindred,
upon those who were dealer to him
than all elso on earth, save his sense
ol duty, bis slnadard ot honor.
We can safely say tbat neither
Washington nor Jackson, nor any
other man who bas ever served tbis
country in any field of action, made a
greater sacrifice of inclination on the
ultar of duty than Thomas made at
tho very threshold of Ihe war, and
thero is no surviving ex Confederate

We aro coming upon a timo wben

lo believo that each side contended lor

Georgo 11. Thomas was capable of
believing in tbe honesty and purity ol

ami their associates. And Thomas
fought against Ibcm and Ibeir cause
none tbe less valiantly or successfully
because he went into the struggle more
in sorrow ibun in anger. There was
no Union General who inflicted heavier
punishment on Southern troops than
ibey received at Ibo hands of l bomas.

portions of Rosecnans' army wero
burled to tbo rear in wild disorder and
irredeemable disaster, Thomas' com
mand stood as firm as adamant ; and il
was duo lo bim that tbe results of a

such a victory as lias no parallel in tbe

WnAT SOLIDIFIED

Tublio sentimont throughout tho

cqtialo account of tho causes which
bave rosulted in a solid South, yet the
same causes would bavo produced tbe
samo effect In any other soclinn of tho

North appear to regard Southern
solidity as indicative of tbe totally do

when, in fuel, it simply shows that
tbey are moro Ml to claim a common
lineage and sharo a common destiny
wilh the brethren of the North. We
undertake to say in trulhand solid ness,
and not only to any, but to show so
clearly and forcibly as to convince any
honest,, unprejudiced mind, that thu
while peoplo of Iho South wore driven
into their present political unity by
forces of Northern Republican origin.

can bo no honest, intelligent man in
any portion ol tho North who, if be

admit that the solidification of Soutb

influence and prosperity was a aimnle
and unavoidable act of obedience to
the nrst law ol nature lbs fiat of tbe
Creator.
Tho reasonable limits of a nowspa

as a sample, fur the same kind of work

extent, all over tho South. Rascally
adventurers lrom the North, in alliance
with the worst classes ot negroes,
seized tbe machinory ot Slate Govern
ment and wielded it as an Instrument
of wholesale robbery and intolerable
oppression. Legislatures, composod of
tew whilo scoundrels and a maaa
of ignorant and vicious negroes, turned
Slate capitols into dens of thieves and
prostitutes. In a single year the gang

could havo done otherwise. Thero is
nothing in modern history of civilized
nations more cruel than tbe wrongs
inflicted on tho South during tbo era
ot outrago and crime, ot wholesale

A STAR SHOWER.
On or about tbe 27th of the present
month it is predicted that wo shall sec,
it tho weather he favorable, a metorie
shower similar to the great one ol
nearly a bait century ago, which left
sucb an enduring impression upon
luose wbo witnessed it. ihnt event
took mankind by surpriso, but since
tbat timo science bas been busy study
ing tbo bow and wby and is now ablo
not only to account lor thoso brilliant
phenomena of the past but even to
predict their recurrence with tolerable
precision. On or about tho 27th insi.
the earth will pass through tbo train
of metooroids which follow tho path of
tho now extinct comet of liiela. Theso
Iragamenlary bodies, now dark, wben
they como within the almosphcro of
tbe earth will bo ignited like luciie
matches by tbo friction, so enormously
rapid is tho motion through space, and
will bluzo out like minuto suns in the
black vault of night Some of Ihem
may actually full to tho earth as me
teorio stones but by Iur tbo greater
number will bo consumed entirely and
reduced to their constituent vapors.
Those moteors, should tho prediction
be fulfilled, will seom to radiato from
a point in tbo Northern heavens nor.r
Casseopma, not thai all nor even very
many will actually start from that
point but tbe line of iheir apparent
paths produced backward would cen

Meteors that move in other directions
on the nigbt in question will not be ot
tho Biela system and will belong to
anolhor class. Tbe history of ibis
train of meteoric bodies, Invisible ex
cept when fixed by tho friction of the
earth'f) atmosphere, is a remarkable
one. It is the history of a scattered
and ruined eomet In 1826 Biela
discovered iho comet, then in good re
pair, and by calculation il was found
lhat its period of revolution was about
o years, lis reappearance woro duly
noted. Wben it camo back in 18lii,
howover, it bad sutferod a remarkable
accident. Il bad beon possibly in a
row with some of tbo other planetoids
and bad got Dillon in two. Certainly
there were two of them chasing each
oilier through tbe sky. ibis com
etary toam continued to como back on
lime until 1872, though showing signs
of distress, but in that yoar it failed to
appear. It soems lo have dissipated.
Uul tbe liiela comet though invisible,
had stretched out into a long line of
tiny Iragments, a sortol burial procos
sion of a dead comet, and wailed for
the earlh to furnish the friction to
light up its funeral torches. This it
did in 1872 and this, according to ex
poctation, it will do again on or about
i Dauksgiving nigbt ibo display ol
1872, visible in Europe but not hero,
was magnificent Ton thousand five
hundred and seventy-nine meteors
were counted at the Glasgow Observe-
tory. In Italy four observers, selecting
the four quarters of the Heavens so aa
not to duplicato, counted 33,400 shoot
ing stars. The most brilliant period
lasted only about four minutes, when
the "radiant point" seemed actually
ablaze with Ibo multitudes of meteors.
Prof. Proctor, lrom wboso contribution
lo Belgravia tho leading facts of the
foregoing articlo are taken, does not
mako tbe prediction ot the meteoric
shower wub any pretense to sucb pro
cision as is attainable in dealing with
planetary bodies. He docs not an
nnunce it with certainty as be might

lorlb aa a scientific expectation merely
net knowing tbe hour of its occurrence
nor even certainly lhat it will come at
