Prof. Pickering, of Harvard University, discredits the Vienna dispatch w hich stated that the Star of Itethleheiu is again to be visible this year, being it.s seventh appear ance since tho birth of Christ. The Professor says: "I can scarcely bo lieve that this story emanated from astronoN incrs at Vienna, for had there been the Mightcst intimation ofthe apuirance of this star it would have been cabled to us ut once. The re)rt is probably tho unauthorized re vival of an old rumor that the star, erro neously call the "Star of Bethlehem," was to make its appearance, but as this statement lias been made several times since iMt when the star was lookel for by some astroni Miers, there is doubtless nothing in it. "The star referred to wa the one discover ed by Tycho Pra'ie in l'7.', and was iiaunsl for him. It appears quite suddenly in tho coii-tel.alion of l a-siopieia, and had a bril liancy greater than that of any of tho planets, so much so that it was visible in the day time. It was believed by some that this star had iipin'arisl in tho same position ".I J years before, or in 1 'tii, and, assuming this inter val of appearance to bo correct, it would have been visible nt ml the time ofthe Cbiistian era, and it was thus termed the star of liethlehem. If it re turns after 1112 years tho timo of its reaiesrance would have lieen in lM, but nothing has yet been seen of it, although many observers watched for it at that time. Such a phenomenon at this day would have the highest value to astronomical science, for by the use of modern instruments obser vations cjiiI I be taken and information gathered that would be of the greatest assist ance in experiments now iu progress. 'I hero is, however, so much doubt in the mutter that it is of hut little use to surmise as to its ,ps'araiice." THE WEST VIRGINIA CONTEST.

Ho said that the average value of the annual product of each farm in the United States was only l" 1, and he believ ed that the census of 1H.K would show a lower uverage than that. He attributed this bad condition of affairs to the accumulation of property iu the hands of the rich. Farmers are compelled, he said, to pay too much interest and bori row too much money, and he explained that farmers are forced to market their pro ducts at low figure owin to the machina tions of trusts and cliques.

The Bobbins' hull was crushed in on the starboard side just forward of her furnace doors and she sank to her hurricane deck In less than three minutes. Four of her deck crew are missing and are undoubte lly lost.

The collision occurred three miles above Haynes Bluff and 3ft miles above Vicksbnrg. Tho Harkins is tutisured. The Bobbins is evidently a total loss. She is insured for W.oooand valued at tl,'is, A year ago she sunk in Tchulu lake, but was raised and thoroughly repaired and at the time of her loss, was considered ttie best boat In the line, having bwn built especially for the Yazoo trade. She had a fair freight on board. The collision is attributed to a misunder standing of signals. Tho Harkins and Sarah Lliiott are at tho wreck saving w hat they tan.

Mr. McNeil heard the shots and tried to go to the bedroom, but could not get in. He hurried around the house und went iu the .front door, w her. he met his wife coming from tho kitchen. She had chimed th ) oldest child there and made her take cuib die acid, also taking Some herself.

T The snow blockade in the West and North west is one of the most complete on record. Not only has travel become an impos sibility on the western divisions of the Central and Northern Pacific, but the tele graph companies are equal sufferers, and every through wire is down on both these roads. Washington and Oregon are shut ofl" from communication with the entire world, with the exception of one little zigzag wiro that still ticks feebly between San Franc so and Portland. When this wire goes down th-so two Northwestern States will be further away from New York than (. hina, so far as telegraphic communication Is concerned, as the trains arc not running and the snow blockade renders It impossihlc for the tele graph force to resell the scene of the break. Tho Western Fulon repiirers are nowed up ut a half dozen points in the 'est, and there is little prospect of renewed communi cation until the railroads have masterei the elements. The snow blockade on the Central Pacific risid is at Kmlgrant Gap, near the summit of the Sierras. Fight westbound trains were snowed in, and the propect of the road be ing oprned lire oor, as t be snow plows can not work through tli freezing ice and the force of shovelers is ir.u Icuatc. There arc l.ftOO men at work, but as the snow is seven feet deep on a level, and fatho.ns in the cuts, the work of cleiring the truck, while the snow falls is a tremendous labor. On I ho Northern Pacific there is a complete snow blockade at Sissons, near Mount Shasta. Col. Fred. Criwiker, of the Southern Pacific, who was going North, has h.-en snowed iu there for three days in u sec ill train. Tho Southern P.icilic Road litis been ba lly injured iu tho Tehachepi Mountains hy washouts, and beyond l.os Angeles the Moods have done much damage. The only .obstructed road now is tho Atlantic and Pacific, but us tins deeiid on the South rn Pacific connections between the Mohave desert and San Fra.icisco, ami on the washed out Southern 1'acilic between Los Angeles and Sun Fimicisco, travel on that road may also be ill laved at any moment, as it has been raining heavily iu Southern California for days pa-t, wl.ilo it is snowing in the North. Tho Western I'nion says that snow is still fulling throughout the West, so that tho prospect is by no means encouraging. BATTLING OVER A CORPSE. A BOGUS NOBLEMAN.

Borne Effect of the Labor Agitation in London. One ofthe most remarkable phases in the present labor agitation in London is the success which has attended the propagation of trade union principles among the femule workers iu the Kast Fnd. The Cigurmakers' I'nion is a case iu point. The union was the direct outcome of the announcement by the employers of their intention to reduce wages At first the women fulled to comprehend the meaning of the suggested union, but when it was fully borne in upon their miinU, they joined In lure iiuiu icrs. Within the lust two months Gilt) women have given iu their names, and it is singulur that, with the establishment of the society, wages huve beeu much above tho normal figure, a competent girl eurning 2 shilling or 2-' shillings a week. There are other so cietics which, if they cannot all proclsiiu the success of the Ciarinukcrs' Union, have a considerable limn her of new members. Prominent mining these is the organization of tho matchmakers, which is rapidly grow ing in strength and importance Some of the voluntary workers who have beeu most prominent In establishing those unions complain of the aputhy of tho regular trude unionist officers.
