FINANCE & COMMERCE. St. Paul, April 4.There is some im provement observable in the markets, and both business and collections are better. Tin improvement is gradual, however, and sure but continual, and is seen both in the presence of buyers from the interior and from the increase in collections. The roads have not improved much, though, after all, and their condition offers a seri ous impediment to business. Quotations have not changed much. Last weok we noted a decline in sugars, and this week we note another. The grains have been rather quiet, and even dull. Throughout the week our man lias indicated a weak ness. Wheat during the week has declined a little, aud oil the grains have exhibit ed a weakening tendency. Corn has been quiet, with here and there a spurt up. Oats showed during theweek a little more life. Barley dull and without change. Rye dull. Eggs have been lower, and a deelino of from 4»to G cents is looked for as soon as the weather warms up a little and the roads improve. r*Iill stuffs are dull and ffat. Baled hay steady. Butter dull. Poultry scarce and about out of market. Cattle are in fair supply. Hogs higher. In the gro cery trade there has been no diminution in trade. Trado has beau fair, with nothing to boast of in collections, which aro not what they ought to be. Dried apples have declined a little, and so have pickles. Su gars are easier and a further decline is noted. Beans are a triile weaker. Hard ware is without any perceptible change. Drags are fairly active, with improvement in business and also in collections. No changes at all are noted m prices. Dry goods are showing up rather better than heretofore. Quotations are steady, with a fair trade and improving collections. Lumber, furs, finished iron and steel, boots and shoos and leather are shady and without change. In money matters there is no change whatever from last week. General Market. The opening of the fruit season which has been awaited tor a very long time with a great deal of patience has at last arrived, and it may be stated that now the depart ment is in full working order.

A tragedy of a singular kind was en acted the other day in a village of the de partment of Vaucluse called Cheval-Blanc. Ten years ago an Italian navvy, who had been working on the railway then in course of construction, was tried for man slaughter, the witness who was mainly instrumental in scouring his conviction being a peasant belonging 4,0 the ' village of Cheval-Blanc. The navvy was sen tai:cedjto ten years' penal servitude, and on leaving the dock he declared that when ne had served his time he would come back and take his revenge. About a fort night ago hi.- reappeared in the village and meeting the wife of the peasant, told her that sl.c. might consider her husband a de.d man. She at once gave information to the gendarmerie of ii*- present in the district, bat ho eluded the search mide for him and made his appearance at the farm house inhabited by the peasant early on Sunday morning. The man was .still in bed and when he loo!. out of th-a wis-dow and recognized the Italian he took up a gun, which ho keupt by his bedside, and fired two shots killing his would-be murderer on the spot. The Italian was armed with a revolver and a long knife. A GLORIOUS SPECTACLE. The Via nets Seen 'Ihrouah the Lsir<ir<i Object Bias* in the World. The astronomical editor of the Provi dence Journal recently visited Cambridge port, Mass., and had the x'ieasure of gaz ing at the planets through the largest and best refracting telescope in the world. Messrs. Alvan Clark & Sons having com plated the object gla-is, thirty inches in diameter, for the Pultowa observatory, in Rus.=ia, had mounted the glass for the pur pose of testing its working qualities. The temporary structure consists of a pier ol solid masonry twenty seven feet in height, to which is firmly fixed, with varum-. joints, hinges and movements, a sheet iron tube made in three sections. The tnbvi it forty-five feet in length and forty inches in diameter. The first object viewed was Saturn, and the transformation is likened to a vision of fairyland. The pale star on which a moment since, we had looked with the unaided eye is now a creation of sur passing loveliness, the most charming telescopic object the heavens reveal Saturn, his rings and his moon are before us. The disc, a golden sphere crossed by faint cloud bands of a delicate creamy tint, the wonderful 1 rings softly cradling the plan et, seven 01 he eight moons, beaming from the o rk background of the sky, Titan, the 1 . gest moon, showing a per ceptible disc, make the shining picture. Every detail ,,t the magnificent and com plex Saturn system is complete—the shadowy cloud bands on the disc; the outer ring, with its faint line of division; the division between the outer and inner ring, closely joined to the second, and the break in the ring formed by the shadow of the planet. Jupiter is the next object to test the space-annihilating glass. The prince of planets is superb, larger than the fall moon, though but little larger than we have seen him many times in a telescope of eight inches aperture. He is, however, much brighter on account of the light collecting power of the glass. Though by no means as magnificent as Saturn, he fat exceeds him in mass and volume, and as he is twice as near wo see him on a much larger scale. The giant of the system takes on grand proportions; the flood of light irradiating his surface brings oat every minute detail. His broad belts are delicious in coloring, suffused with pale rose, mottled with soft gray, purple, brown and delicate green. We have seen Jupiter when the definition was much more per fect, but never with the variety of tint and tone we behold this night; never before did he seem so near, so grand in propor tions, so symmetrical in equipoise. His four satellites are in line on his left, and bear witness to the power of the telescope by presenting discs instead of points. We find it difficult to decide which of the two pictures is the more complex, more curious, but Jupiter is more majestic, more like the great bub himself. The great nebula of Orion was also in spected, and the little whisp of cloud haze around the star in the sword of the Mighty Hunter that is visible to the unaided vision becomes one of the most glorious specta cles that ever breaks upon the entranced eye of an observer, The most wonderful nebula the northern skys reveal is before us, filling the field of view and suffused with a celestial light suggestive of the holy city that had "no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it" In conclusion the editor says: "The Russian objective will soon be transsorted to its destination in the Pulkowa observa tory, founded by the Czar Nicholas, and overlooking the city of the czars from its lofty position on the Pulkowa hills, nine miles south of St. Petersburg. We shall never again bohold the wonders of the sky through its great object-glass, but as long as life endures we shall remember the time when we beheld, irradiated by its light collecting power, and brought near by its great eye, the magnificence of Saturn, the grandeur of Jupiter, and the awe-inspiring combination of be,auty, mystery, and shadowy form of the great nebula of Orion." Wiggins and Keely have each a secret which they are keeping from the world. They ought to be shut up together until they are forced at least to swap secrets with each other. Keely ought to commit to Wiggins the secret of the motor that does not move, and Wiggins ought to toll Keely all about the ''scientific principles" upon which he is able to predict three months in advance, a terrific storm that does not come off. But Keely won't tell the secret of the motor, aud Wiggins is reported as saying that "There's not a man living who knows the system by which he predicts storms." Moreover, Wiggins intimates that wild horses can not draw the secret out of him. We sus pect that Wiggins is about to start a weather bureau fos excuraion and picnic parties during the summer season. It would be a great boon to picnic parties to have some such prophet as Wiggins predict a storm for their day's outing. It would relieve them of any fnrther anxiety about the weather.
