star. Willi a llttlo attontlon tho observer will
see that Ml.ar. which is tho mlddlo star In the
handle of the Dlpnor, has a llttlo companion
star closo to It. This llttlo star is named Alcor,
anil It has evldontlr boon growing brlehtor of

and his Itldor.
llutMlzar. In .addition to having this little
eompanion. Is a tnleseoplc double star, and ono
, of the most boautlful In tho sky. It was the
' first double star that tha present writor over

nottoo great. Alcor can be seen inadlstnnt
part of tho same flold. as If kocplnc a rosnoct
f ill dislunco from Its brilliantly matod com
panion. It will bo noticod that Mocrez, the star at the
junction of thn hnndlo nnd bowl of tho Dipper,
is by far tho smallest of tho hovon. It seoms to
bo slowly crowing fnlntor. Slegrt-z and Dublie.
which mark tho brim of tho Dipnoi's bowl,
furnish u good monsurinir stick, as thoy nro
about ton degrees apart.
But tho Dipper forms only apart of the con
stellation of tho Great lienr. Its rotation to the
remainder ot the constollatlon is shown in tho
accompanying figure:
In the left hind log of thn Bear there Is n star
toofatnt tobn vhlbleto the nnked eyi, which
is novertheloss on of the crentest wondorH of
the universe. It Is tho celobrntod runaway
stnr, known to astronomers by the unroniantic
designation of 1830 Grnombridge. Alt the xtnrs.
It Js known, are moving swiftly ln various di
rections, but this particular star is rushing so
rapidly through space that Its motion is th
marvot of astronomers. How it could linvunr
ijulruJ such a velocity thoy cannot understand,
for, as Prof. Xowcomb hax pointed out. ih
united attraction of all the known bodios of fie
unlver&o would not aulllce to imnro thnt
velocity upon It, nml, on the other linml, tho
same inlk'lity nttraction could not nrrst it,

Tin reader may wonder why. If the stnrs nro
moving, they iippoar year after year In the snmo
tihii' in the honvnns. Tho reason Is simply
because their dlstnnco from us is almost In
flnltHly croat compared with tho distance ovor
which they move In n year, even when, as In the
ciwi of 1S1D OroombrldgK. their annual mo
tion I not loss than B.500.000.000 miles. Hut
with astronomical Instruments the motion
of the stars is oaMIr doloctod. ns well us tho
similar motion of our own sun.
The observer who finds the I'ola star by
means of the pointers, will notice that it is ln
the end of tho handle of nuother smaller dip
por. tho bowl of which Is bent up toward the
handle of the targe dipper. Tho l'ole stnr Is of
the second magnitude being about equal in
brilllanoy to each of the six brightest stars In the
Great Bear. There Is no other star of onoal mag
nitude nearer than flftoen degrees from It.o thnt
It cannot easily bo mistaken. Tho little dip por.
the end of whoso handle Is marked by the Pole
star, is situated In the constntlntiou of thn
Lessor Dear, nnd occupies about the same rela
tive position in thnt oonMellntlon that the
larger dipper does in the Grunt Hour, The
LesserBanrtlius swings around the polo of th

Is one of thn finest double stars In the heavens,

ponents properly, but when well seen thoy pre
sent a surptlslnelr beautiful spectacle, the
larger of the two stars being of a rich orange
color, nnd tho smaller bright sen-groen. The

although BoOtos Is supposed to be heroically
chasing the Bear, he ascends tha sky In a rather
undignified attitude, feet uppermost But then
terrestrial conventionalities have no force In
the celestial regions.
Turning now to tha region south of the Great
Boar, the observer will see well up toward the

celebrated double star, tho components of
which nro respectively yellow nnd green.
Tha planet Mars Is mst now In this constella

light that even Iteguliis looks faint In com
parison with it. Mars Is Indicated In our
sketch by tho numbor 3. The second magni
tude stnr In the tall of thn Lion, marked 4. is
Deuebola. Still further to tho left and below
Donebol.a. some twenty degrees from Mars, the
planet Jupltor will be soen. much larger than
Mnrs, nnd shining with a pnlo yellow light.
Leo Is celebrated ns the constellation which
contains tba radiant point of the November
meteors. It was tho centre of the florv meteor
storm of 1833. nnd in 18'J'J. when this nstnnish

will still be the contre whenco tho lire balls will

About midway between Leo nnd Bootes the

which Is conspicuous In tho absence of the

What Mr. a. K. Hublnsan nw In ladla,
Piim (A Button ll'ralct.
Whon ho ontoruil tho room ho sprond a
whlto cloth upon the floor and sat down upon
it with his back to the wall, tho door of the
room being on Ids right hiitid. His spectators
wero disponed in the following fashion: .Mr.
Smyth salon ii chair nearly In the middle of
the room. 1 was silting on a sula nenr the door,
the Parseu mnrnhntii stood In the doorway
about arm's length from me. The servants
stood about In group. I ho largest group being
between the door and the conjuror. As soon us
he had settled himself he turned to the Parsrn
nnd nsknd tor thn loan of a rup-e. The peddlor
at first demurred n little, but on blng guaran
teed against loss lie produced the coin. He was
going to put It Into the conjuror's hand, but ih
latter refused, nnd told the 1'nreee to hand It to
Mr. Smyth's liearer. The hearr took It, and,
at th n-iiiieatol tho-con juror, looked nt It and
declined it to be really a rupee, Tho conjuror
then told him to hand it to h s master. Mr.
Smith look It. ami men followed this dialogue:
Conjumr Ar you suro that Is a rupee ?
Snuili Y.
Conjurer (,'lose your hand nnd hold it tight.
Now think of noma country in Lurope. but do
not tell mo our thought.
Then th conjurer ran overthe names of sev
eral countries, euch as Krnnci. Germany, ltus
iu. Turkey, and America. for th untile In
dian Is umloriho Imnr'tmnn that Ann-rica is in
Kurope. After a moment.-, miu-e Mr. Smyth
said he hnd thought of n country.
"Then open your hand," said thn juggler.
" so nhat you have got, nnd tell me if it Is u
coin of t.to country you thought or."
It ki ii .Viranc pl-co, and Mr. Smyth had
ih ouch t of France. He was going to hand the
coin to tho conjurer, but the latter said:
" No; pay ii to the other sahib."
Mr, Snirlh utTordliik'ly put theS-frnno piece
into in v hand. I looked c!o--lv at It. iht-n shut
my hand nnd thought ol HiihsIii. When f
upnm'd It 1 fotinil. nut n ltiisliin. but a l'urk
IhIi sliver niece, nhout the .' of the 5-fraue
piece, or of our own crown piece. This 1
liand-'d to Mr. Smyth ami suggested that bo
siiould nnmo Aiuerl"ii. which h did. and found
a M"leat: dollar in his hand. The coin, whnt
nvxr it was had ner been in thn conjurer's
hand from thn time the rupee whs boi rowed
from tho Parsee merchant. Mr. Smyth and hlx
larer had Ii ith of thorn closely examined the
rupee, and .Mr. Smyth nnd I iurn"d over sev
eral times the .Vlraii- piece, the Turkish coin,
nnd thn dollar: so the trick did not depend on
a reierslblo coin. Indeed. It could not. for the
coin underwent throe changes, as has been
seutt. I need only add, for the Information
ot readers who know not India, that a runen
Is only about the el7e of a florin, and therefore
about half the weight ot a 5-frnne piece.
He did another trick almost equally as won
derful. As before, he fni hxhIsiI on n nhlta
I'lntti, which this time. I think, was a tablecloth
borrowed from thn mess snrgeaut. He asked
some ono present to produce u rupee and to
lay It down lit a remote edge of the cloth. Tho
oloth being three or four yards In length, the
conjuror could not have touched tha colli, and,
in fact, did unt touch It, lie then asked for ii
signet ring. Several were ofTsrod him, and ho
chose out one which had a vry large ovnl seal,
projecting well beyond the gold hoop on both
sidos. This ring ho tossed and tumbled sev
eral times In his IiiwhIh, now throwing It Into
tho air and catching it, then shaking It between
his clasped bunds, nil tha time mumbling half
Inartlciate words in some Himlostaneu pnlols.
Thon. setting the ring down on thn cloth nt
about half-arm's length In irmitnf him. he said
slowly and distinctly in good llliidnktane:
-"King, rlto up ami go to the rupee." Tho
ring lose, with the seal uppermost, and. rett
ing mi tha hoop slowly, with n kind of dancing
or jerking motion. It pns'ed over the cloth
until it came where the rupeowns on thn re
mote edge, then It lay down on the coin, The
conjurer ihn said: "lllnu. lav hold of the
rupee and bring It to me." The projecting
uilgn of tho seal seemed to grapple with tliu
od jo ol the coin: the ring uiid rupee rose into
n kind of wiostllng attitude and with the snmo
dancing or jerking motion the to returned to
within reach of the juggler's hand.
1 have no theory to explain either of theie
tricks. I Khniild mention, howeier, that the
juggler onilrcly disclaimed all siipTiinturnl
power, nnd alleged that ho performed his tricks
lv mero slight of hand. It will be observed
that ha had no preparation of hU surround
ings, no machinery, and no confederate.

Williamsburg during his service as a member
of the Virginia legislature. Mr. Wnslilngton
presided over tlio Executive household at tho
"'At of government, llrst In New York, then In
this city, with a good deal ot formality. Tholr
house in this city was one rented from Ilolmrt
Morris, on Market street, between Filth nnd
Sixth. It was here the Frldny loveos woro
held, and the rules worn very rigorous.
The llrst President's wife was born a Jones,
that of th second n Smith Abigail Smith so
tho republic, so far ns rue domestic head of It
wns concerned, was ushered In with n certain
democratic simplicity. John Adams married
his wife when sho was 20, and her father, who
wns n clergyman, preached n sermon on the
Sunday after thn wedding son historic old
chestnut relates from the text, "John came
neither anting bread nor drinking wine, nnd

In tho dayanhon men know not real Urn,
and Meftira. Itowelts and James woro not, when
romance soared with butterfly wlnu toward thn
Boautlful. and tho Ideal entimental pocta used
to write and mlnstrela sine a stylo of ditty
yclept negro sonirs. They troatod of dusky
Nellys nnd Kittles and Lillys who 'had gone
before, or lay ln the tomb, or had flitted on
nneel wine beyond the unpleasantness of
overseers aud cotton and cane requiring cttltl
vation nt their hands. Thoy belonged to the
era of Impossible Undo Toms and matnmya
who said "llroiia do Lord" and "Maasa."nt
Intervals BUflKdcntly frequent to give tho
proper African flnvor to their conversation.
That a largo, rich folk loro of profound In
forest existed among the negroes, and thnt
thoy hnd a quaint aud curious minstrelsy of
tholr own. "had nothing to do with the caso
ln tlio opinion ot the Idealists. Whou they
wlHhud to oreato a negro In literature thoy pro
ceeded to shut themsolvoa up ln tholr studios
und evolve ono.
Unclollemub has discovered tho true negro
and his folk loro. and OoorgoCablo has lyrically
discovered his Kronen Louisiana, but tho songs
of tho great masses of tho nogroos, the com
monplaco rollicking "VIrgtnny nnd Knlntucky
niggers" who are scattered alt over tho South,
have as yot received but little attention. Theno
songs nro tho productions of local ponti who
could neither road nor write, and who wore but
Imperfectly aoqunlnted with the language.
They were for the most part not oven delib
erate compositions, but. the Improvisations of
barbarlouirn rfrpand Ivrlsm. Thoy trontod of
tho llttlo homely details of nvory-day planta
tion Ilk', and only huo to Imagery when thoy
became hymns. These African song makers
doiightod ln rhvmos of a rough sort, but wore
not bound by thotn. content to let tlm rhythm of
repetition and the muslo servo to glo them
charm. Very few nro of nuy longth mostly a
quatrain or a half dozen lines with nn nndlesn
repented refrain, thatservod to express snmo
motuoutnry emotion or chronlclo nneoutor
lit a favorite air.
Like the words, the muslo to which thn'o
songs wero set la a simple thmne constantly
repeated, but the music was full of strange,
plaintive melody. Thin plnluttveness is in tho
music of oven the simplest songs. You will
hear a wild, pnthotlc air, nnd then down snmo
long, lovul Louisiana mad, clad In ragged
jeans, bin- wool burned red by tho sun, slapping
liis bare feet on the dusty earth, keeping time
with flat hands upon his hips aud shuffling his
loosely hung body about, will come a young

Hut when the long procosslonfllos away to the

Pl'ched In a wild minor key. with long-drawn
