A NOVEL COMPROMISE.
From the New York Sun: "During gold
days in Calif ornia,"eaid Col. Ingersol to a
crowd of lawyers the other day, "It was
law that the holder of the claim should
be liable to lose it if he let it remain idle
for ten days in succession." Well.there was
one fellow who had been working faith
fully, when he fell sick and had to take
to his tent. Another fellow came aloug
and jumped his claim. The first m-tn
p leaded and argued, but the other was
not to be moved. So when the first man
recovered he sued the interloper. "The
case came up before the justice. He was
very sorry, he told the plaintiff but the
law was absolute on the question, and
the defcudent could not be ousted. No
sooner bad he finished than the plaintiff
jumped up and hit the defendant a sting
ing blow behind the ear. The defendant
fell over and the plaintiff jumped on him
and began to pummel him soundly. The
constable ran up and was trying to part
the fighters, when th judge arose, and,
pounding on the desk, yelled to the
constble :
you? sir, leave them nine.
The law is the law, but if the gentlemen
want to compromise they must'nt be in
terfered with.' "

WONDERS OF THE HEAVENS.
Some Wonderful Kfttlinatea of the Move
ments of the Varlout Planet.
The elder Rtruvo made tho movemeut of
the sun through f-po.ee to be about fivo miles
a second, but on the supposition of the
brightest stars tieing between two and three
timen iwvtrer to us than they seem really to
ba. We enn now see that the actual speed of
the solar system can scarcely fall short of
twelve or exceed twenty miles a second. By
a moderate estimate, then, our position in
npaoe is chanKinc to the extent of 500,000,000
mile annually, and a collision between our
sun and the nearest fixed ttar would be in
evitable (wore our coursn directed in a
straight line toward it) after tho lapse of
50,000 years 1
The old problem of "how the heavens move,"
successfully attacked in the solar system, has
retreated to a stronghold imong the stars,
from which it will be difficult to dislodge it.
In the stupendous mechanism of the sidereal
universe the acting forces can only betray
themselves to us by the varying tlmo con
figurations of its parts. But as yet our knowl
edge of stellar movements is miserably scanty.
They are apparently so minute as to become
perceptible, in general, only through obser
vation of great precision extending over a
number of years. Even the quickest moving
star would spend 257 years in crossing an arc
of the heavens equal to the disk of the full
moon. Yet all tho time (owing to tho incon
ceivable distances of the objects in motion)
these almost evanescent displacements repre
sent velocities in many cases so enormous as
to baffle every attempt to account for them.
"Runaway stars" are no longer of extreme
rarity. One in the Great Bear, known as
"Groombridge, l&'iO," invisible to tho naked
eye, but sweeping over at least 200 miles each
second, long led tho van of stellar speed.
Professor Pritchard's photographic deter
mination of tho parallax of Cassiopeia shows,
however, that inconspicuous object not only
to be a sun about forty times as luminous as
our own, but to bo traveling at tho prodig
ious rate of 100 miles while Dr. Elkin's result
for Arcturus gives it n velocity of little less
than 400 miles a second I
The "express" star of tho southern hemi
sphere, so far, is one of the fourth magnitude
situated in Toucan. Its speed of about 200
miles a second may, however, soon turn out
to be surjiassed by somo of tho rapidly mov
ing stars picked out for measurement at the
Cape. Among them aro somo pairs "drift
ing" together, and presumed therefore to bo
connected by a special physical bond and to
lio at nearly the same distan'-e as ourselves.
This presumption will now ba brought to the
test. Contemporary Record.
Women lu Trousers.
An unusually largo number of cases of
women passing for men have recently been
discovered in Great Britain and France. The
most remarkable for length of time during
which the deception was maintained was
that of a person who, during a voyago from
France to tho island of Jersey, acted in a
strange maimer and finally fell unconscious.
A doctor found that although dressed as a
man it was really a woman. After being
sent to a hospital in Jersey she told her story,
which was that at the age of 13 sho had been
loft an orphan and had then adopted male
clothes, which she had ever since worn with
out discovery. Sho was 5 years old and had
therefore worn trousers for forty-two years.
She bad for the greater part of her life pur
sued the calling of a courier, guiding parties
of travelers over all parts cf Europe, under,
tho name of Louis Herman Tobush. Sho had
done well at the business and had a balanco
at her banker's. Wheu she was taken sick on
the steamer she wore a fur waistcoat, $ lop.gf
overcoat, a stiff hat, and a turped down col
lar, and smoked a pipe or a strong cigar, as
sho chanced to please. No ono had any sus
picion sho was not a man.
Among tho witnesses in a suit at the Palace
of Justice in Paris was a person, apparently
a young man, dressed liko a student, who
was accompanied by w hat seemed ba ftu

tho sodate gentleman, stepping forward.

witness and settle tho matter. The judge

A Magical Tree.
Sho was a charming bloudo, with hair tho
color Tituuw loved to paint, nnd melting blue
eyes that seemed to invito inspection, and tho
cloter tho better. Turning tho big bronze
knob the door lending into the main cor
ridor of tho Whito House, tho fair unknown,
in tones of liquid silver, inquired: "Please,
sir, can you tell me where tho wishing tree is
situatedT
For an instant tho history maker was in a
quandary, but, in the course of a brief con
versation, ascertained that tho visitor was in
earnest about her question. Some ono lind
told her that there was a tree in a direct line
from the White House, in front of Jackson
square, which susceptible maidens were in
the habit of touching and making a wish as
they did so.
Close scrutiny of the neighborhood showed
that such a tree exists, but whether, it pos
sessed the qualities ascribed to it remains to
bo seen. The meridian of Washington, an
imaginary line from which longitude was
formerly reekoued for the United States,
runs through the center of the Whito House,
and in tho grounds near tho Washington
monument there was until a comparatively
recent period an old sandstone column, prob
ably three feet in height, known as the me
ridian stono. The tree i-i "i :i ; '.v '

According to the young lady, if the wish is

evidence of numerous visits by the fair sex
who desire to tempt fato. Washington Post.
A Kentucky Suicide.
Andy Boiling was a bad citizen of Jackson
count', and bad killed half a dozen of his
fellow citizens. One evening Boiling killed
his seventh man in Clover Bottom. The next
day a coroner's jury was impaneled to in
quire into the affair: The testimony was that
the deceased had called Boiling "a liar," and
that Boiling immediately drew his pistol and
fired, killing the man who had insulted him
at the first shot.
Tho jury went out to deliberate, and after
a short time returned tho following verdict:
"We find that the deceased, Henry Jones,
committed suicide."
The coroner was amazed. "I shall not re
ceive tho verdict," ho said; "th2 isrtmony
was positive that Andy . Jloiiing did the kill
ing." "Yes," replied tho foreman, "and the testi
mony was equally positive nnd unequivocal
that the deceased was of sound mind and in
full possession of all his faculties just previ
ous to his death, and that while iu this condi
tion he called Andy Boiling a liar.' It stands
to reason that if he had not meditated self
destruction ho would not have been so rash.
Ho know what the consequences would be,
and ho evidently wanted to die."
So the verdict of suiaide stood. Louisville
