'A FEARFUL NIGHT.
I was invited to a lunch party in one
of the inland cities of Pennsylvania not
long ago, midi sriiS much impressed by
the appearancii, of one of the younger
ladies present: I She was not beintiful,
but united • the striking characteristics
of a brilliant, l fresh complexion, and
proinsionof hair, white us snow, which
was wound one , the top of her head after
the fashion of; Madrozo's "Marquise,"
belonging to Airs. A. T: Stewart. She
Was very merry, a good talker, and, I
must confess, I contrived to occupy the
largei part of her attention with the
tendency toward Monopolizing the best
which the moment affords that I am
told is often observed by my fumiliais.
After bidding adieu to the ladies, I
turned todhe lohliging friend who had
beeu my user- at these incidental
gaities of—H, and casually remarked,
after ,talking riomeahat of my new ac
quaintance:
'ffy JOve what hair t It accents her

to achieve it yOung ?'
My friend removed his cigar.
"That dependti upon Low yon look
at it.' • I am inclined to think, consider

howfiVer, if she wouldn't say to-day iiiat
the price was ' rather large. And it was
a pretay big prick.. Do you like stories?
I'm • minded to tell one, if you Ake,
about the white hair you admire so
much.
We went over to the hotel and some
thing like this my frienllioll me:

Harry bade hp wife good-bye and
Mamie gave up the picnic. At the end
of two days she received a telegram
from him, saying he had been detaiaed,
and telling her to get some one to stay
with her for tan days, when. be would
be ut home. She drove into_town and
one of jier . old friends went-,out with
her. At the end of two days she had

every day came a disappointing tele 7
, By this time 'she had become ac
eastoined to her charge, which she had
set like a bag of seed beans in a corner
of a dark ciciset opening trona her

The afternoon of the tenth day was
a hot, murky , afternoon. Mamie had
gone up stairs to take a nap and refreah
before dressing to meet Harry, who was.
expected home after the longest absence
'he hal ever made from her.
Aftex a time Sarah came up and told
her there was a tramp down Weird who
wanted something to eat, and who
would' not be driven off.
- "You oughtn't to leave him! , minute
alone, Sarah. Go , down and ; watch
azi4 I will come down and send
-him, off."
She dressed herself quickly and !went
dowii,Mairs, , surprised to find hold late
it had growli. When she reached the
kitchen She found also a messenger
with another telegram which announced
another, disappointment, but the next
day, without fail, Harry wrote, he would
be home.' As Mamie turned into the
kitchen she heard the tramp Ad Sarah
in evident dispute.
"Yea" 'said the- fellow, when i that
time comes your mistress will have
another ironing.table, helping •iou, in

every day." .

"An' spoilin' everything for inn to do

_Women are soft-hearted !creatures.
Mamie went and got him something
to cat, herself. The daikneas that bad
ben increasing for
,some ,time came
down rapidly and there burst one of
those terrific thunder-atoms that gag

this country. After its strength was

The = man spoke- with decision.
Mamie felt that after all they irsr
really in his power, and possibly 'it
might be worth while to do civilly , what
she would probably have to do at last.
"I will kcep you on one condition,"
she said. "There is a loaft to the

Mamie took the key with her and

Sarah," the mistress said, Sarah drag :

on the floor, and then, after the custom

rain.lwas still falling, heavily and the
tight was black as ink. The miutr i ess

worried and anxious, ' finally • went
t
to sleep.
About midnight Mamie- found her:
self awake_ and a bright light shinieg
in the roorn. She ' , tatted up and saw
that it was i the moonlight. The storm
had cleared away at last. She got up
unable to compose herself immediately,
and went to the window. •Tile _ moon
was indeed shining brightly. , As she
stood looking at . the peaceful scene be

for it was as bright as day, several
horsemen. It 1 was such an unusual
sight at this hour that she stood watch

alone, that she had this money and
they had come to get it For a mo

bered Harry's- last words: "You must
guard it' t with your life if necessary:"
She ran to the sleeping, Sarah and
awakened her. She got down Harry's
rifle, Which he had' loaded and. taught
her to use. The sleeping girl was 'soon
thoroughly awake, and she explained to
her their condition.
"It's the tramp that's done it." .

Senator Mitchell was elected temporary
chairmari by acclamation amid cheers

brief speech in which he - - said he was
hetutly in sympathy with the indepen-
dent Movement. He trusted that What

system. and remarked that political
power hat long been regarded as a sort
of patrimony, to be handed down from
father to soa.
The committee on roles reported the
platform,' the reading of which was fro.
quently interrupted by apPliiuse, which
certain planks, and the spoils system'
elicited. '

field to the presidency' signified to MI the
triumph of a true reform in civil service
and of enlarged liberty of action for the
masses of the republican party in the nomi
nation of candidates and in. the conduct of
their party affairs, and we deplore the
overwhelming evidence prerented to us in
-Pennsylvania that the calamity of 'his as
sassination has been followed by the over
throw of these reforms in the hands of his
successor. •
Resolved, third, .We denounce the system I
which makes " patronage " and " spoils "
out of public offices ; we denounce the
practice of giving them to' political mana
gers for use in advancing personal political
ends we denounce the removal of faithful
'and competent officers in the absence of
public reason ; we denounce the practice
of levying assessments and demanding con
tributions for party use from public
officio*: we denounce severally and col
, lectively the evils and corruptions which
accompany the conduct of the government
as the spoils system-" and which • are in
separable fronasuch a method of admivis
istration'' and -we denounce the system of
" boas rule " and " machine "control
which, when tamely endured, makes lead
ers into autderate, and reduces the masses
of citizenship' into political bondage.
, Resolved, fourth, We declare' our pur
pose to take up work which fell when Gar
field fell; we demand in place of the
"spoils system" a reformation-in the civil
service by • law, so that appointive places

cause; sire demand instead of the prostitu
tion of the public service to private uses, its
recognition on as- a high and honorable trust
to be administered for the people's benefit,
with efficiency, economy, and integrity; we
demand instead of the insolence of pro
scription and tyranny, " bossism and " ma
chine rule," the free; conscientious exercise
of private judgment in political i affairs and
the faithful discharge by those silo assume
representative trusts of • the expressed •
"of the people.

IS THE MOON INHABITED
Dispatches from the old world an
nounce that the eclipse of tho lith'in
stant was successfully observed by the
astronomers from their several stations
•
in Asia and Africa.' One important die
cov'ery,due to the use of the spectro-
scope, is the detection, l 'of an atmosphere
on the moon. This will
,again revive
the question of its habitability. The
theory of life existing ,on the moon has
been rejected by the greater number of
astronomers, because, reasoning from
terrestial facts, they argued that the
attenuated atmosphere of the moon, if
it has an atmosphere at all, Must be ab
solutely incapable of maintaining ani
mal_existence.
That the Moon presents the same aide
to our view is undoubtedly owing to the
peculiar shape, which Must be slightly
conoid• It revolves around the earth
in an orbit nearly a quarter of a million
miles away, and consequently dean - Abell
a circular path about one million and a
half miles
_in length, moving over ,it at
the rate approaching three thousand
miles an hour. The centrifugal force
must then be exceedingly great, and as
the 'heaviest bodies are thrdwn the great
est distance, the heaviest 'side of the
Moon must( be at the extreme ;of the
radius and therefore its nor-rotation is
accounted for. When we see the same
deeply-seamed, volcanic face cent:lo
usily presented, we must remember that'
we really are but Tiewial , the Selenite
highlands, reaching far above theden
ser atmosphere - that surrounds their
base or aide turned from , us, just as our
mountain-tops tower above our clouds.
The fact that the Moon has an atmos
phere is attested by the observations of
Father Secehi, Prof. Drew, 'the great
Herschel, and many others who have ,
-seen the crescent during' "new moon"
terminating in a gradually decreasing
cusp of light, similar tb our ewn twilight,
which could only be' produced by the
refraction of an attanspbere. "
Many years ago the German astrono-,
mer Gruithuisen, who made hundreds
of observations of the moon. saw and
delineated a figure in the northeast
quadrant, consisting of a series of par
allel walls branching off from .a straight
central line, like the backbonepf a her
ring, and terminating at - an abutting
wall. This remarkable object was at 4
times indistinct, as if obscured by mist,
but the fact of its existence was attested
by Many European astronomers, among
whom were Prince Metternich and Pro
limier Schwabe and Schmidt, ail noted
for the accuracy of their observations.
Its discoverer claimed ,that the figure
was artificial and others promiunced it
to be a fortification constructed accord
ing to the beat; principles of military
defethie. Subsequently the fortification
disappeared and Professors Beer and
Madler, who united in the study ,of the
moon, denied its existence - und the
charts published by them did' not con.
tain a trace of it, as they had determin
ed to reject everything not visible
through their Berlin telescope. But in
1888 the figure again appeared, not in
its original dimensions, nor exactly in
[ its first design, but smaller and with
modified outlines, one , portion being
omitted, as if the defenses_ had been
destroyed and were being rebuilt. Beer
and Madler'coull not dispute the evi
deuce of their own senses stud altered
their maps accordingly, showing the
figure above the equator, 'northeast of
the centre. ' Who built it?
Now that the infallible spectroscope
has made its revelation, speculation
I may indulge in its loftiest flight, and

More powerful instruments, -/ constructed

had one fault. His social qualities
would lead him, despite his judgment,
into occasional excesses. In traveling
the circuit it was his habit, the night
before opening court, to get comfort

one day, a tough citizen was arraigned
on a charge of stealing. After the
clerk had read the indictment he put
the question:
'Gnilo, or not guilty?'
'Guilty, but drunic,.. answered. the
prisoner-
'What's that plea''. exclaimed the
Jnage, who was half dozing on the
bench:
'He pleads guilty, but says be was

'What's the charge against the man?'
'He is indicted for grand larceny.'
'What's thetase?'
