LICK OBSERVATORY. One ot the interesting recent establish mcnts is Lick Observatory established in 1887 from an appropriation of $700,000 from James Lick who imposed in his trust deed that they should erect a teles cope more powerful than any yet in exis tence. At this time the largest refractor in existence, was the one at Washington 26 inches in diameter and a six foot re flrctor nt Parsonstown, Ireland. So that the trustees had to choose between these two, a a0 in. refractor or a more than 6 foot reflector. They chose the former and in 1881 a contruct was ltt to Alvan Clark & Sons for the manufacture of an achromatic astronomical object "lass of 86 in. clear aperture, this being the larg st the contractors would undertake Some little trouble was experienced in getting the glass, but in 1830 the con tractors finally succeeded and the nion stor object glass reached Mt Hamilton, Cal., the sight selected by Mr. Lick fur tha establishment of the observatory in the winter of '86 and was mounted early in 87. 31 1. Hamilton is on the inner coast range, about thirteen miles cast of San Jose, and fifty miles south of San Francisco. The obseivatory is 4,285 feet above sea level and its total domain is 1,700 acres. The plan for the observa tory provided for a structure 287 feet long a transit hou-e, a meridian circle, a photo-heliograph and helostat and a photograph house. The building stands nearly due north and south and fronts the west. The domes are at each extrcm ity and the south dome contains the telescope. This is one of tht great mod ern inventions. From its position it telescope has from fifteen to twenty de grees farther south to sweep the heavens than any other observatory in Europe or America, and on account of the dry steady air it is oue of the best places for the study of the heavens known to the world. The observatory is run iu con nectien with the university of California and we congratulate the studeuts of that institution on having such grand oppor tunities provided, for them. A WARNING TO THE COUNTRY. Represenative Hatch, of Missouri, is one of those frank, outspoken eneini?s of the tariff whom it is a high privelege to have as an opponent. In his speech on Monday in the House he warned the Pro tectionists of the consequences of the de feat f the Tariff bill. '"If the gentle men on the other tide," he remarked with a menacing gesture, "would learn a lesson from the past legislative history of the country, they would not only ac cept the bill now presented to them, but they would be glad to gctjt; for if the measure were rejected in less than twelve months the Protectionists would give millions of dollars to get as moderate a reduction of the tariff." The meaning of this threat is plain. The defeat of the present bill, the enactment of which no democrat in his sober senses can reason ably expect with the consent of the sen ate, even if it can be forced through the House, will be followed next year by a radical measure of free trade. "Within twelve months," Mr. Hatch is explicit in eaying. This is definite and uneqivocal declaration of Democratic policy which - the country will do well to remember when it elects a new President and a new Congress aext November. The Mills bill is only the cntciing wedge. Next year, if the democratic party have the power, another and a broad wedge will be driven Jn. The Mills bill shows what may be done with the green tree. Let President Cleveland be re-elected and a new democratic free trade measure will show what - can bo dons with the dry tree. No advocate of pending tariff legislatien has spoken of it as auy thing more than a tentative measure a beginning of radical tariff revision in the interest of free tratV. Neither Mr. Hatch nor his colleague are willing to stipulate that the Mills bill, if 1 1 le allowed to become a lav, shall cot ba followed up at the next session by ad ditional tariff legislation. The indus trial interests have no guarantee that the assault upon them will not be immediate ly renewed, even if they were disposed, as they are not, to accept tlm measure qs a compromise. Wuat men win ue toe . . . ii 1 nntural course of representatives of every 1 industry and the working classes employ ed by them to adopt when they are threatened with radical free trade within twelve months? They must closo their ranks and array themselves in solid col umn against the cincmies of American industry. N. Y. Tribune. An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so many seem now to be nlHictedf If you will remember a few years ago the word Malaria was comparatively uu known, today it is as common as any word in the English language, yet this word covers only the nuaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is used with nerveus diseases, ns they and Malaria are intruded to cover what our grandfathers called IJiiiousness, and all are caused by troubles that arise froai a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system causing nervous troubles, Malaria, liilious Fever, etc. You who arc suffering can well appreci ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures are niarvtflous. Mist Aleott's Fascinating Blanuserlpt. Three years later Mr. Alcott received from his daughter tha manuscript of a book which Louisa Lad written according to the inspiration which was always her best, 1. e., that which came from actual observation, and what may bo called tho idealization of facts. Miss Alcott said onco that sho wrot3 the book "to prove she could not writo it;" in other words, having boon asked by Roberts Bros, to prepare "a good girls' story," she declared she could not do it, caring so much more for "boys" than she did for girls; but, if she attempted it, it must bo about her own sisters and herself. Accordingly, a book was written on this charming principle. On it3 receipt one of tho firm took tho manuscript home, and, without mentioning the author, handed it to his daughter, a girl of about 12 years, to read. Intrenching himself behind a newspaper, I was told he watched tho effect of the story upon this unconscious critic. Page after page was turned, and every variety of expression showed itself on the young face bending abovo the book. What would 6he have said, I wonder, had sho known her proud distinct ion the first child in America who read "Little Women!" But such was tho case. Find ing it impossible to induce her to leave this fascinating manuscript, the publisher wisely decided that a book which could, hi manuscript, so captivate one girl, would, in print, reach the hearts of many, and accordingly this first little bark freighted with success and fame was launched.

The Idea or NlhllUm Pnahed to tbe Ex treme Limit Some Strange Tidier I'e cullar Social and Financial Methods A Curious Specimen. The Interesting sect of "Negators" offers to us the spectacle of a strange religious pes simism. The doctrines of this sect push tho idea of nihilism and of negation to their ei tremest limit. The members lead a lifo of vagabondage, and pass the larger portion of their existence in prison. Tho government thinks their doctrines dangerous to public safety, and subjects them to tho most rigor ous punishments. Let us take as a tyie of this sect a certain merchant named ShLshkin. In his search for truth he four times changed his sct, and finally became persuaded that all religion was error and lying. IIo addicted himself to tho study of tho sacred Scriptures, and thought ho perceived that they were not in accord with buman nature, and then ho came to repudiate all ideas of God and re ligion, as well as all human institutions, all authority, government and society. He was promptly arrested and Imprisoned, and all Lis property conllscatod. Ho refused to jus tify himself or to avail himself of legal help for his defense, ix;rsisted in his opinions, and continued to preach in tho prison. Hero is a curious specimen of his answers to tlio judge d'instruction: Judge Who ore you? Prisoner Don't jou see I'm a man? Are you blind? J. What is your religion? "P. 1 have none. J. What God do you believe in? P. 1 don't believe in any God. Gol lie longs to you to you people. It was you who iD vented him. 1 don't want him. J. Do you worship tho devil, then? (with some irritation). P. 1 worship neither God nor devil, be cause I have no need of prayer. Tho devil is also an invention of yours. God and the dovil aro yours, as well as tho czar, the priests, and government oflieials. You are all children of the same mother. 1 am not one of you, and I wish to know nothing of you. Each for himself, say these sectaries; thero is neither right, nor duty, nor social or political or religious hierarchy. Man, aban doned to his natural instincts, without hin drance from government, will be irresistibly impelled toward truth and equity. They deny, without exception, all rights of prop erty, and recognize no form of social organ ization. For them, marriage, tho family, social duties, do not exist; they live in a fantastic world of liberty without limit, and despise all that surrounds them. For example, if any one asked Shishkin for anything whatever, he would give it them at once; only it absolutely must bo something useful, food, clothes, or money for vital needs, etc But he would not give a half penny for tobacco, wine, or such like things. 'I should prefer to throw the money out of the window rather than help you to poison yourself with tobacco," he answers to those who ask him for moucy to indulge in that habit. If any one thanks him, he answers: "What a stupid wordl You have received what 3'ou wanted; you havo eaten; well now go." These sectaries are advocates of all that is natural; they nev3r shave or cut their hair, they drink no spirits and do not smoke, so as not to spoil the natural beauty of tho intel lectual faculties. They dream of a life in which each should work for himself, satisfy ing his wants with the productions of tho earth, and making for himself all necessary articles. What is over ought to be given to those who are in want. They entertain a profound hatred for all compulsory work under all forms. They never go intoscrvico, even if threatened with death, and they em ploy no servants. When iShishkin was in prison they shaved him and tried to compel him to work ; but he utterly refused, saying: "Yon have taken mo by force. I did not ask you to shut me up. So now you ought to feed me and work for me." It was of no uso to flog him, to chain him to a wheelbarrow, to shut him up in a dungeon, to give him only bread and water; it had no e&ect. Ho re mained immovable. Theso sectaries do not allow of tho ex change of products or of trade. "If you want anything and I can give it you, take it. When I in my turn want anything, you will give it mo." They preach free love and do not recognize marriage. They consider women to be independent beings, equal to men, free to choose lovers and occupations according to taste. They replace the word wife by friend. A man, a woman and a child were brought before a judge, accused of belonging to tho sect of Negators. "Is this your wife?" asked tho judge. "No, she is not my wife." "But you live with her?" "Yes; but sho is i:oS mine. She is her own." "Is this your hus band?" "No; he is not my husband," an swered the woman. "But how is it, then;" asked the judge, astonished. "I need hiw and he needs me, that is all ; but we each bo long to ourselves," answered the woman. "And this little girl, is she yours?" continues tho judge. "No. She is of our blood, but she does not belong to us, but to herself." "But are you mad, then f cried the magis trate, out of patience. "This cloak that you are wearing, is that yours.'"' "No, it is not mine," answered the sectary. "Why do you wear it then?" "I wear rt because you havo not taken it from me. This cloak was on tho back of some one else, now it is on mine; perhaps to-morrow it will be on yours. How can you expect me to know to whom it be longs? Nothing belongs to me but my thought and my reasoq." And 50 on- Tbe words "faith," "power," "law," "usage," inspire them with profound horror. Under no pretext do they have recourse to tho protection of the magistrate, preferring to suffer with patience. To appeal to tho law for protection would bo to recognize it, to submit to social institi ions; but to submit o law is to destroy one'.- individuality, which should rest for it support only on tho indi vidual conscience and personal convictions. It must be added that they do not believe in the life of the other worid and the rewards of the future life. They told that man is im mortalized only in posterity, in behalf of which he spends his moral and physical force. Nineteenth Century. A Curious Finnish Myth. Dawn and twilight are only rarely made divinities among untutored peoples. But they are personified in a curious Esthoniaa myth among the Fiirus. It is related in this story that the sun i3 - torch lit up every morning by Koi, the dawn, and put out every evening, by ("P.inmerik, tho twilight. Their father, Ukko, the sky, desiring to unite them, they consented t come together for a few days every year at the time of tbs summer solstice, at which time there is in Finland no night between tho twilight and the dawn. On these days, tbe logend con tinues, CEmmerik passed tho torch directly to his affianced, and she blew it alive with ber brcntb before it had time to go out.

The present year bids fair to be a dis astrous one from tornadoes and wind storms. This is fore-shadowed by the number of storms we haye already had- the most destructive one so far this year having occurred at ML Vernon, 111., where a large number ef buildings were destroyed or damaged. The exemption from tornadoes last year renders their opr currence more probable in 1888. Call at our office and secure a Tor nado Policy. Unimproved lands for sale or ex change, WI Hi-fi!
