Prof. Klrin*s Comet,

"You may look out for a brilliant comet ln the
southwestern heavens early in August or the
latter part of July," said ProL John M. Klein,
Kentucky's astronomer, to the Courier-Journal
correspondent last night, during a moonlight
promenade with the star gaxer. "Upon what
theory do you base such a prediction?" I aaked,
" Well, the fact of the matter ls that I have no?
ticed for several nights the unmistakable path,
or orbit, of the comet. Look, do you see that
great streak in the heavens resembling somewhat
the milky way. It is the path or orbit of
a great comet, and that great streak of light la
the ^as**uus matter that follows ln the wake of
a comet. It is impossible to see It at present,as
It travels in the orbit of the sun, whose brilliant
light during the day prevents the human eye
from gazing at It. The deflection by the latter
part of Julv or August will, however, bring It
al*>ve the horizon during the early evening
hours, when it will be plainly visible and when
it will be of the first magnitude." As Prof
Klein has heretofore predicted and discovered
ouuiets with unfailing accuracy, the fulfillment
rf/hM prediction will be looked forward to with
nnini by the scientific world generally.

"Gath" In tb( C^cfintSl Enquirer.
New Yore. Jane 22^?The day of the celebration,
or rather ol the reception ot Bartholdl's
great statue, I took one of the Iron steamboats,
so-called, which make a fleet to Coney Island
and Long Branch, and passed the pedestal of
the statue. The pedestal rises above the small
island of Bedloe's some Blxty or seventy feet,
and presents a rather Incongruous mass to the
eye. I have my doubts whether the figure,
when raised there, will meet the
IMAGINATIVE IDEAS
of the sculptor. He, according to his own account,
entered the bay of New York, which is
very different from any harbor in France, or,
indeed, in Europe, and waB surprised to see
what to him seemed a kind of inland sea with
numerous islands, some of them of a mountainous
lorm, often well wooded, and with continuous
towns and villas, forts and piers, extended
through and around this double inland
sea.
He was amazed, and I have heard the same
expression from Frenchmen and other foreigners
when they came up the bayofNe'w York
011 steamers to myself or fellow-passengers. The
water-ways of America often terminate in these
huge ports and estuaries which give a strange
mingling of nature and man. The ports of
France resemble our Pacific ocean roadsteads,
and generally have to be constructed where
some little stream enters the sea by digging and
moulding, and when you get inside, even at
Havre or Marseilles, your vessel has to go into
docks dug out of the ground.
Perhaps the finest of the harbors of France is
Bordeaux, where a large river passes toward the
sea, and steam craft go up this river as up the
Delaware or the Mississippi to the piers of the
city. Many of our
AMERICAN HARBORS HAVE NO EQTTAIJ9.
Poston, Portland, Providence, New London,
New York, Hampton Roads, San Francisco, all
show these remarkable navigable and landbound
pools or channels. M. Bartholdl, with a
Frenchman's instinct of art, and recollecting
the great wonders of the autique world, conceived
the Idea of illustrating the harbor itself
by erecting a great Pharos. He was far ahead
of the artistic instinct of the United States.
Here the practical dominates at all times, and
one reason why the money was not promptly
raised for the pedestal of the statue was a certain
feeling that the statue itsslf was a wild
Frenchman's thought. Had the statue been 1
designed forNew\ork Island a local interest
would have been attached to it which is to
some extent lost in the short distance between
Bedloe's Island and New York Island. The distance
maybe two miles from our battery.' I
have held, since the conception of this statue,
that it should have been built upon the batterv
itself, at the termination of New York Island,
where the multitude could have gathered
around it and appreciated its splendid proportions.
But the bay of New York between the
battery and Staten Island is about six miles
long, and to erect even this great statue onethird
of the way down the harbor will much
diminish its quality to the eye, and therefore
to the mind.
The Washington monument at the capital
city loses much of its power by l>eing placed
within the delta or gully of the city. There are
heights around Washington of two hundred to
three hundred feet, ana had the Washington
monument been put upou one of these it would
have been visible for a great many miles. But
Bartholdi grasped the first impassioned idea of
the monument when he saw the harbor. It occurred
to him that "t a very beautiful harbor
should be seen the Pharos illustrative of libertv 1
welcoming the races of the earth as they canie '
up the lower bay, passed through the Narrows,
and debouched into the upper bay. !
As he alone projected the statue, it was no
person's business in particular to reason with !
him about the situation. He exhibited at our
centennial celebration the lorearm, hand and
torch of the statue, very nobly modeled, and
this portion of the subject alone would have
procured a public purchaser in New York.
Every sculptor and student of art commended
the
DELICIOCS MODELING
of the hand and torch. But, reasoning from the
plans of the people, artists in general doubted
whether such a piece of clear imagination as
erecting this great human tower down the bay
would give the effects the sculptor hoped. The
American people are lamentably short in the
antique imagination. Our most imaginative
writer, Hawthorne, was more fanciful and metaphysical
than imaginative. He had nothing of
\ ictor Hugo in him. The French imagination
partakes of that ol Virgil and Homer: the Latin
races draw their being from the antique world,
where llumer puts upon a rocky island his giant
Cyclops, with one eye ranging over the seas, and
hurliug stones miles outward at appr*>acliers
and victims. I venture tosay that not a thousand
Americans in the hundred years ol our republic
have grasped in the spirit of Homer that huge
conception. To us it belongs to the domain
of ruble. When the Statue of Liberty will be
raised, ;.s there is now no question it will be, it
will be nearly 306 feet above low tide water in
the bav. This is about three-flfthsof the height
of the Washington monument; it is the height
of the largest average cathedrals of Europe.
But those cathedral towers are a great mass,
and they often stand upon plains where they 1
exert their impression to a vast distance. This <
Pharos in the bay of New York, though it will t
be three hundred feet high, will not be more <
than twice the height of the masts of many of
our vessels, and the surrouuding landscape is 1
particularly bold and lofty, and the Orange '
mountains, which overlook the bay, probably ?
rise to the height of one thousand feet, and Staten
Island, which is only four miles away,
ha* heights probably of five hundred feet.
The little island where the statue is to be is a
MERE SPOT
in the bay, though large enough to have been
fortified as one of the defences of New York in
the day before Rodman, Wbitworth, and
Krupp. I only repeat what you already know
when I say the pedestal of this statue will be
8*2 feet square and about 90 feet high, or perhaps
140 feet above the usual tide. Then from
the top of the pedestal to the highest point of
the statue, which is the torch held out in the
woman's hand, is al>out 150 feet, some twentv
feet higher than Trinity church steeple, and
nearly the same height above the towers of the
j Brooklyn bridge.
But the Brooklyn bridge Is a mass of towers
and network, quite comparable to the money
j put into it?namely, some 818,000,000. The
; cost of tlie pedestal of Bartholdi'g statue, and
of the statue itself, will probably not be more
. thau 8">00,000. Again, the island the sculptor !
has selected is not exactly in the eye ot the
i city of New York; it stands off toward the Jer- ,
sey shore, and when you go down the bay to
pass through the Narrows from this city you j
leave the statue something like three-quarters
ol a mile to your left. It all the shipping of i
New \ ork were to pass right under this Pharos \
it would have a more distinctive effect. Had
it been put up on the little island where Fort
Lafayette stands, right in the Narrows, every I
vessel passing in or out of New York would '
have goue beneath the legs of the Colussus of
Rhodes. Still, a gift horse is not to be looked in
the mouth, and this great statue will undoubt- '
edly be one of the wonders of the modern 1
world, as it is the highest of all the colossi ever ,
made. . j
I have wondered whether the bronze of which 1
this statue Is partly composed?the rest being
of iron bronzed to the same tone?will not be- j
come st? dark as it oxydizes that the lineaments ,
will be lost to the human eye like those beauti- 1
ful lineaments in Crawford's statue of Freedom 8
on the dome of the American Capitol. Crawford
put up there a grand statue of Freedom leaning
on her shield, with Indian plumes in her iiel- I
met, and you can see how beautiful this design
is by looking at some of the government banknotes.
In the course of time the figure has
blackened, and you see merely a black and
somewhat harmonious mass up there. Nevertheless,
Bartholdi's figure may have some influence
upon the narrow imagination oi the
American people, reduced and stunted by
nearly two centuries of a worship of the practical.

Snlelde Resulting' from a Joke.
THE CAUSES that LED to robert stinson's
committing scicide.
A telegram from Boston, June 23d, Bays:
Robert Stlnson committed suicide last week at
West Stockbridge. He was twenty-three years
old, and the son of ex-Judge Stlnson, of Norristown,
I'a. He had spent several summers at
West Stockbridge, coming all the way on his
bicycle last season. Mr. Stlnson met Miss Clara
Edwards, of West Stockbridge, and the acquaintance
ripened into an engagement three
years ago. He was studying law and hoped to
be admitted to the bar next spring. He started
from home a month ago on a visit to West
Stockbridge, stopping on the way at Oswego.
Ijew \ork, where he officiated as best man at
the wedding of a college friend. One evening
as he was lowing on the lake with Miss Morrow,
his friend's sister, she Jokingly said that she
thought the young lady in Massachusetts had
better be informed ol his gallantry to the fair
ones of Oswego. He replied in the same vein. I
and at once gave Miss Morrow the address of
Miss Edwards, telling her that if she did not i
see him the ne*t day she had bettex write St
once.
She did not see Stlnson the day follow!ng. so
she wrote the letter. Miss Edwards received it I
In due time about a fortnight ago and was n
greatly shocked to read that Stlnson had mys- r
teriously disappeared, and that his Oswego l
friend felt little reason to doubt that he had I
been drowned in the lake. When she finished *
this sentence she swoomed and remained <
unconscious for some time. Her father at once ^
telegraphed for particulars, and in a few hours i
there came a dispatch which read: i
"Robert has returned and is alive and welL It I
was all a Joke."
Stimcn went to West Stockbridge the next t
Tuesday. While there he heard so much i
about his reported disappearance that he bo- 1
came morbid and tor the first time in his life l
took to drink, apuearlug one evening in the ]

NUGGET HUNTING.
Persistency and Lnek-Each Has Its
Share in the Success.
From the San Francisco Call
An old miner who followed the gold excitement
In its devious wanderings in Australia,
California, Mexico, and British Columbia, related
to a Call reporter a few days ago several
instances of lucky discoveries:
"An old Dutchman brought the plodding
method of his race to the work of gold digging
in Australia. All of his companions had boldness
and dash, but few had the stolid persistency
in the face of bad luck that this Dutchman
possessed. He had been plodding along
for several months digging a tunneL Heavy
dull clay was all about him. Not a promising
sign beckoned liim on. He seemed to get more
settled in his determination to work the tunnel
to the end the more unpromising it looked. He
had been working on in the face of discouragement
for several months. One moraine he
was making his way into his tunnel, ana before
he had gone fourteen feet his heart sank
within him. There in front of him was
his tunnel caved! The path that he
had laboriously dug into the hill was
clogged with tons of earth. But the quality of
his character asserted itself. Most men would
have volleyed oaths at his 111 luck, and packed
up their kit and left. The miner moved more
slowly than before, but he started to work
again in the same tunnel. He crawled into
his tunnel, and with his pick and shovel set to
clearing away the hill of earth that blocked his
Eath. He had not struck a dozen blows with
is pick before the sharp iron point struck
something solid. Mechanically lie bent forward
and cleared away the earth, and there before
him was a big nugget, as nuggets go,
weighing fourteen ouftces. He crept out of the
tunnel, bringing his precious nugget with him.
and when he got into the fresh air and heard
the birds singing, he sat down and wept. No
one begrudged the Dutchman his luck.
"A nuggety country that has been only partially
worked is lust as good a field as virgin
soil," continued the miner. "The spots that
have not been touched may be the very nests
of the precious metal. It is dangerous to leave
a single foot of ground unworked. The for- i
tune of a lifetime might thus be passed by and
lost lorever. There are many instances of Just
such cases. There was a poor, shiftless fellow,
with a wife iu rags and children in squalor.
The whole family used to go into the diggings
together and shift about till they had got I
enough to buy something to eat. They kept
sinking lower and lower. But one day they
straggled into the diggings, not having energy
enough to push on abreast of the workers.
They fell to picking a little pillar that bad
been left standing in th3 midst of the
diggings, all about it having been worked. I
do not think it could have been more than
tbree feet across, certainly not more than
six. It was a spot that had been negleuted as
the diggers pushed their drifts ahead. The
squalid family began work on thi? solitary pillar:
all they hoped was tor a few grains to feed
thom for the day. As the man continued listlessly,
the sunlight was caught up by a speck
in tbe pillar that glistened and flashed. The
eyes ol the poor fellow saw It; he thought his
work for the day was done. He-knelt down to
clean away the dirt from the bright spot. As
he did so the shining metal grew to larger proportions.
Immediately the whole family was
around it in eager haste to uncover it. The
further they cleared the soil away about It the
furtner it seemed to recede. Alter working two
hours with growing astonishment they saw
the full outline of their prize?one of the largest
lumps of gold ever found. That was the luckiest
find ever made.
"The Mount Moliagul nugget was found in a
most peculiar place," resumed the miner.
"There was an unusually rich diggings in the
vicinity ol Mount Moliagul, Victoria, that had
made a hundred men rich. It had been
thoroughly worked in every direction, and it
was thought that every grain of gold in the
neighborhood had been collected. The crowd
Lfian once made the camp a busy scene of life
dissolved as quickly as it had collected, leaving
the shanties to the mercy of the weather, which
soon made them a picturesque ruin. Off toward
the east there was a solitary tree stump
standing on a pillar of earth that bad not been
cut away by the gold hunters because of tiie
old roots ol the tree that spread through the
soil. It was not more than ten feet in circumference
that had been left by the diggers.
Une day two miners came to the deserted
-'amp, and stopped- over night on the site
of the old earnix afcuiAp struck one
of them as a singular ?featnre "Of * the old diy?ings,
and being ? s^UffiF miner, he knew
that one part ol a rniggfety country was a?
likely to hide the precious metal as another.
It occurred to him that the ground under the
itump was as likely to prove rich as the portions
of the neighboring field that had yielded
so much gold. He resolved to work the Utile
tnound the next day. His companion, however,
was anxlods to be off to the latest diggings,
where the excitement was at the highest pitch.
Hut the first miner who had resolved to explore
the solitary patch of the deserted diggings,
persuaded his partner, and together
they set to work on the.oW stump. They began
t>y undermining one sice of the stump, bat before
they had dug in three feet they discovered
in enormous nugget, one of Che most valuable
that had been found in the whole diggings.
r*uey continued their labors and uprooted the
stump, but did not find another grain of gold."
Street Car Politeness.
IBS MEN LESS considerate OB" WOMEN THAN
formerly?
From the New York Tribune.
"Have you noticed," asked one gentleman of
mother in an elevated railway car the other
lay, "that men ar^ess.cqj^teyy* to women
ban formerly? See boty jmany women are
standing while tbe%<?is ipe'ttNed with men
vho look like genwmdu. You and I can renember
when such a thing could not have been
;een in any car filled with respectable persons.
Vre we becoming less polite as a people?"
"1 think," was the reply, "that in real politeless
and in deference to women we are not
osingground, though I have noticed thechange
hat you speak of in some of its outward maniestations.
It has been gradual and not with>ut
wellniefined cause. Women are themselves
esponsible for it. By their manner thev seem
0 demand as a rl^ht what men are only too
:lad to confer as a gift, and what they expect to
>e received as such. After a man has given up
lis seat in a car a lew times without receiving
1 word or even a smile ol thanks he usually
binks it about time to stop. It is amazing how
*ude a woman can be in a public conveyance
Alio iu private circles is the very soul of grace!
md cannot receive the smallest attention with>ut
prompt acknowledgment.
"A few days ago I saw a young woman entor
i car at Grand street, accompanied by avoung
nuu. A gentleman immediately rose and gave
icr his seat, which she took. At 9th street a
)erson sitting next to her left the car, and the
gentleman who had relinquished his seat was
ibout to take the vacautone, when the young
voman moved over into it, motioning to her
oinpanion to take hers. I think that gentlenan
will be less prompt In his courtesy in l'uuro.
"Do you see that woman over there with the
en-year-old lad by her side? When she came
nto the car a few stations back, a gentleman
rave her his seat. At the next station the seat by
ler was vacated and she pulled ber boy into it,
tV omen were standing In front of her at the
'me, but she saw no reason why her boy
bouid be sacrificed to them. Do you ever see
i woman request a child of hers to get up and
rive his seat to a woman? I have seen such a

A Reminiscence.
from the Century Brlc-a-Brac.
There was a time, fond girl, when yon
Were partial to caresses;
Beiore your graceful figure grew
Too tall for ankle-dresses;
Wben "Keys and Pillows," and the rest
Of sentimental pastimes,
were thought to be ; he verv best
Amusement out of class-times. *
ou wore your nut-brown hair In curls
That reached beyond your ltodice,
Quite in the style of other girls,?
But you I tlioug.it a goddess!
I wrote you letters, long and short.
How many there's no telling)
Imagination was my forte'
I can't say that of spelling!
We shared our sticks of chewing-guia.
Our precious bits ol" candy; I
Together solved the knotty sum.
And learned the art ainnnUU
W bene'er you wept, a wo All lump
Stuck In my throat, delaved there!
My sympathetic heart would Jump?
I wondered bow it staid there!
We meet to-day,?we meet, alas]
With salutation formal;
I m in the college senior class,
You study at tbe Normal;
And as we part I think again,
And sadly wonder whether
Yon wish, us I, we loved as when
We sat at school together!
