Selected Story. tt SANDY BILL." IIONOU EVBM A WON CI THIEVES" - A UO KV IIOI NTAi.V BWMAMCE. Lock Mtlene in CaUforniaa. "Did 1 know Sandy Bill? Well, I should say bo! Smartest and ugliest man ever on the fiontier. Knew him first in Dead Man's Gulch when they found the placers there. Bill came down to wash dirt, hut he soon go.t tired of that and took to cards. But cards got away with him. He wasn't strong enough for them. He used to say after he got right bad that the black spots stained his heart and the red ones his hands. He was sullen like at tiroes, and then there was trouble. He'd pull a gun quicker than a flash; and there would be cold meat for the coroner in the wink of.an eye. Bad man Bill was. They wanted to get him out of the gulch once, and the camp council held a meeting on it, but the undertaker got the council drunk and made 'em vote Bill should stay. He was good for one branch of business at least. Bill was cross-eyed and when he got right mad it used to make the boys feel queer ail around. They couldn't un derstand exactly who he was mad at, for his eye would take in all sides of the room, which made it sorter awk wai4. He shot a fellow once and got off on the plea that it was au accident on this account. Four men swore that he was looking right at them, and that his gun went off in the other direction. The Court allowed that a man couldn't be hung because ot an infirmity, but said overruling Providence would rake in a prominent citixen. For you see there wasn't any getting away from Bill's straight shooting, even if he had crocked syea. When he bad the drop on a nan you could bet on a funeral ith tho same Christian confidence you could on four aces. But Bill went under and in a queer way too. It was sftet they found some good lodes of free milling quart, above the gulch, and the camp had become a toWh. Bill was running a bank above tbe nugget saloon, and he made it iey big. One day a fellow walked into town all rags and misery and wont to tho bank. Bill was keeping cases, and tbe minute lis saw the stranger ho jumped up and walked over to him. There was some talk and they ahook bands. Then Bill came back U the table leadi the stranger. "Boys," said he, "a i 1 wai sick this man doctored Rkvj when I was hungry he fed me; when 1 crawled out of a rebel stockade in Macou and tried to get North he helped me. My friends are his friends. His enemies are my eue mies. No matter how the cards run hail i've got is his." Then Bill sst down for be wasn't much of a talker. Tbe next day the stranger came out in a Utter outfit, but it didn't help his looks much. There was something mean about his eyes tbat looked like the devil's trade-mark. He had a noi sy, blustering way about him, and no body took to Bill s M9t. And it wasn't a gixxl day for Bill when he came either, for alter that everything seemed to go wrong. Tbe straugei spent an awful sight of money, and sll of it came from Bill. He used to cut up end make bad breaks about the bank, but Bill stood it all and never said a word. If any of the boys growled he'd just take in three angles of the room with his eyes and that settled matters. If tbey talked to him h d i at shrug hta shoulders snd Say m . u hj . One day, though, Bui' IsamS cioJ. Nobody knew what it ui -nut In a wile, but when uOooi ' th a'a hat they Cal'eU llsa aliaiigri did turn up, it gut wbleeird sUmt USh Im I, ad gathered op ali thrt h4 .cads and skipped. Uiil would never say aot though. He wouidti t talk abuiil it at all. He just soaked his watch ami pin and went ia for another pile, with two different expressions tu hi eyoa, fa . s .a a . one harder tnau the other. About "Ceor-gia" be never said a word. He got to drinking firstly haid after that, but his luck was big. It was hard to tell how much he won, for he would not talk about it, but he msde s bis winning snd must have bad a nice little pile. He never said anything to any sa a one, and didn t want any friends. Things went on this way for some time after ''Ceorgta left, and then there was an excitement. Two bronchos bad been stolen above the camp, snd tbe thief was caught and brought into town. It was "Georgia, looking more hang dog and meaner than ever. As soon as BUI heard of it he went to the own ers Of the stock snd offered them dou ble the price not to prosecute. They took it and agreed, but the thing had raised such a row tbat a trial was bound to come off anyhow. It didn't though. The day set Georgia escaied jail and got away scott free. There was a good deal of talk about it, and tbe next time Bill was seen on the streets it waa no tioed that he didn't wear his watch. He bet low at the tables that evening too. That changCu his luck, and when a gambler's luck changes he's gone. The cards never turn up right after they've got out of the habit. It was bad on Bill. He drank bard and looked bard. He wore bis clothes a goodjdeal longer than be used to, and when tbe snow began to fly be was on the streets with out sn overcoat. rso one could help him, he wouldn't have it. He lisd over a little dive on an off street, and didn't allow anybody to come near his room. He was surly and bitter and ugly, and when he got 'into a row with a mm he used to beat him with anything he could get his bands on. He never did that iu his better days. He'd just shoot and be done with it. So all of the boys sort of kept away from him, and he got a bad name. When he played at all it was with a tin horn crowd, and queer sto ries become to be circulated after a time. There was a good deal of "hold- i ins ui" in those davs.aud peoo'e trot an I u idea that Bill might be doing some of it. At any rate a man was killed in front of Bill's place early one morning. and when the crowd came up and found Bui there it was quick enough te think tbat he had done it. He had been seen with the dead man tbe night before, and there was another man all muffled with him, but Bill wouldn't say who he was. Fact is he wouldn't answer any questions at all, and when tbe trial came it did't take the jury long to bring in a verdict of guilty. The town Was a little seared up, and the people thought there ought to be an example There was one queer thing about it though. The murdered man hid a lot of money, but there wasn't a nickel on Bill. After the verdict, there was an attempt by some of Bill's old friends to get a pardon, but he wouldn't have it. He said he was ready and willing to hang and wanted the show to end as soon as possible. The only thing he seen J uneasy about was as to wheth er aity one else was suspected, and he would ask cautious questions aboil what people thought and what the the ories concerning tbe murder were. The day before the hanging; he wrote a let ter, put it ifi AB envelope and addressed it, and txujn put both in a blank envel lemottat 18, 1881. ope. He gave this to Ready Jim, one of his old time psrds, and told him not to bake off tbe blank envelope until af ter be was dead, and then deliver the letter inside to where it was addressed, and keep his mouth shut about the whole business. Heady promised, and tbe next day Bill was hung and died game. After he wss dead Beddy took off the black envelope and read the ad dress. It was to "Georgia." That made him curious.and the lettor burned bis hands. He had always had an idea that there was something behind the murder which Bill waa trying to con ceal, and he thought thst thta letter might tell what it was. Ho after hold ing it four days he gave it to tbe sher iff, who opened it. Tins is what was in it: Ikax Old Paup. Tbe game's square. You ssved rsjt, and I've saved you. 1 ain't mad or hurt because you didn't come back and tike the murder off my shoulders, for i wanted to got through anyhow. The cat da arc against me, and there's no use of fighting luck. 1 only write this to tell you thst some of these d- d fool alioul here may think queer cf the busiuuHS and look into it, so get as Isr out of the way as you can. You'd better go home and drop your wuy of life. There sint no good in it. Good bye. Bill. Thst let in a lot ol light. "Georgia" had killed the man and Bill shouldered tbe blame.

Ike Big If the comet looked always the same, those who gse at it lliruh telescofies would be apt to tire of their occupa tion very quickly. TheOW are many celestisl objects thst present a far more imposing and brilliant appearance in tbe telewope. In fact, for s popular observation of tbe comet, a pair of good opera or field glaaaea would probably prove more satisfactory than the most powerful telescope. This is because the magnifying jower of such glasses 'eing slight, and their brightening effect very grea, tb-y show the whole comet, Letd and tail, at one view with greatly increased brilliary. In a teleacos, on the other hand, only the head sud a little of the tail can ! seen at once. The great, magnif iug M)wer Bf inga out the details of the beads such aa the nucleoa, the coma, and the va Moua envelopes, but th-corresponding amsllneas of the field of view and the Ions t light cause disapiiointment to those who, being told thst such and aueh powers are used, sxiect to see a spectacle grand in proportion. The practised eye of tbe astronomer qnickly detects peculistities of appearance tbat an observer unsocuatomed to telescopes can barely make out when 'bis atten tion is specially called to them. If these apeaiances remained si ways the same, even professional star gazeis would not care to look at them very msny times. But they change in the most wonderful wsy from day to day, snd so the comet remains an object of unflagging interest. It is doubtful whether the head of this comet has presented precisely the same appearance for two consecutive hours since it first biased out in our sky. To the unassist ed eye it resembles fl ways a bright star, without, however, showing any of the flickering that distinguishes the stars from the planets. Bait in the telescope the only thing about it that does not appear to change much is tbe blight dot, or nucleus, in tbe centre. All tbe luminous materiel surround ing this dot ia in motion. One night it seems banked up in front in two or three rows or furrows, liko surging waves. The next night it appears like a plume shot out in front and blown aside by the wind. Again it forms al most a circle about the nucleus, with which it seemee connected by spokes of light. Yesterday morning tbe thickest part of the coma seemed to have been pushed around to one .side of the nu cleus, which it almost embraced in its circlet, leaving, however, a distinct gap in one direction, r rom the nu cleus, which on Wednesday morning was ss round as the disk of a planet, shot out one or two short bright beams, like tongues of flame, piercing the nebu lous envelope behind. All the features of the head are becoming more dis tinctly visible aa the comet rises higher in the sky, and so escapes more and more from the smoke of the city. "The comet is now in the constella tion Camelus," said Prof. Henry Draper in Dobb's Ferry yesterday, "and is rushing along at the pace of half a million miles a day. Rapi 1 changes are going on both in the coma and in the nucleus. When 1 tirat saw the comet a week ago the coma curved out and on each side of the nucleus in the attitude of a flying bird. But last night tbe wings had flopped forward, or rather backward, toward the sun. Another remarkable phenomenon was that a large part of the coma has settled upon the uncleua. ibis is account ed for easily. You would naturally and truthfully presumS that as the comet retreats from the sun it would lose its heat originally given to it by the sun. The coma is undoubtedly volatile, t?,nd as the heat of the nucleus decreases I should expect that the coma would become less in volume and fainter in appearance. Such is the fact. "Another curious fact. As I looked at the nucleus it flashed out to an im menne distance on the side toward the sun. Then I remembered thet the great Donati comain 1858 did the Bams thing, and thaomet also gave a thrill or shake all along its tail at the instant when the nucleus burst out to ward the sun. I looked anxiously for a similar thrill in this comet's tail, but saw none. The nucleus is a sphere no longer, but is more oblong. . "Have you obtained another photo- NO. . graph V "Yes ; last night I tried to seize the comet's tail. I knew that tbe -comet is getting among millions of start, snd I wanted to see whether the tail would prove an obstruction to the rays of starlight coming through it to the earth. I wanted to quiet Mark Twain's fears and relieve him from his generons self imposed task of standing on bis house top with a jale to fend off tbe comet's tail if it should whisk around this way. He can climb down now, for tbe stars showed very vividly through the tail. By the wsy, a curious thing happened in taking the plate. I expose! the idate to the tail of the comet for three hours. The plate was to sensitive that diffused starlight strained it. Well, when I was through the experiment snd had developed the negative I start ed snd thought that ithad been ruined. It looked as though a shaggy substance be1 been paaaed over it, leaving innu merable straight lines all in the same direction Then I laughed aloud at my llunder. The double motion of tbe teJesooie and piste, one motion to counteract the earth's motion, and an other thst of the comet, had left the stars motions to shift for themselves. And they bsd pursued their own motion across the pla e, leaving little photo graphs of them elves at every instant, snd thus each one formed a continuous line. The photograph is vivid, and b as good as can lie taken. It ia M jD length. The eastern or convex side is brighter thsn the concave side, whieb has become more filmy snd delicate.' "Have you aimed the fcpectio.'cope st the visitor yet to see whether any thing can be learned of iti miaai tion f' 1 " Vee, and I am going to keep doing it ss long as the comet can be seen. My object is to see if tbe nucleus gives any but a continuous spectrum. Sun light does not give a continuous spec trum, but is broken op with lines which show tbe presence of many min erals burning. Oaly a solid, of liquid heated to a vaporous condition, gives a continuous spectrum. This is what tbe spectroscope showed when directed to the nucleus, but in such an object as a comet a number of observations must be made to. arrive at truth. Ho I looked for absorption lines which are givon by incandescent matter shiaing thtongh gtn. If I bsd got tbe lines I would have been sure of gas around tbe nucleus ; but the spectrum was con tinuous. "My second object," continued Prof. Draper, "was to aee whether the tail shone by light reflected from the sun. Now, aunligbt, even if reflected from tbe moon or atar, gives lines in tbe spectrum. But the spectroscope gave no lines in iu spectrum. Therefore the tail shines with iu own light. "My third object was to examine tbe coma and see whether it is giving out bright bands in it spectrum. Bright bands are due when seen in the spoc truro, to compounds of different chem ical elemenU ; and lines, to distinct elements. In a spectrum ol the elec- trie incandescent light there are bands, - and thev arc broken mi ahnsrincr a mixture of hvdrugen. 1 u the spectrum or me coma of mis comet, however, tbe ,: r ; " w"c lift I liant Mfitlnimna atiaar mm .T iU hurtilU sss-aa fa ufraul A mm . a aL.

I do not believe that tbe nucleus is any hotter than you could heat a mineral on earth. To gather with this mineral is probably Home volatile fluid like naphtha.

KOJTKD HY TMR Chriiliin TrmperiBCf CiM Wines' Ym who drink in moderation hear, I pray you, the admonition of one, who, finding himself at last bound by tho chain of Intemperemte, Is struggling to free himself from Its iron grasp. "The most depraved and wretched of human beings Is he who Iiits practiced vice so long that be curaes it while be yet clings to It ; who pursues it because he leels a ter rible power drivingbim on toward it, but, reaching it, knows that it mill gnaw his heart and make him roll himself in the dust. Thus it has been, and thus it is with me. The deep, surging waters have gone over me ; but oat of their awful black depths could I be heard, I would cry out to all who have Just set a foot in the perilous flood. For I am m C one of those, who, If they them', must die the death the most te and appalling of all others,that would drag or even ix;ruade one other soul to accompany me. But I would cry toothers nottocorae with me. Could the youth who lias just begun te taste wine, and the young man his first drink, to whom it Is as delicious as the opening scenes of a visionary life, or the entering into some newly discovered paradise whero scenes of Bndirnmed glory burst upon his vU I ip, but see the end of all that and what comes after, by l xking into ray desolation, and be marie to under stand what a dark and dreary thing it is for a man to lie made to fed that he Is going over a precipice with bis eyes wide open, with a will tbat hta lost power to prevent it ; could Le feel the bedy of the death out of which I cry hourly with feebler and feebler outcry, to be delivered; coo id he know how a constant wail comes up and out from ray bleeding heart and begs and pleads with a great ag ony to be delivered from this great demon drink; could these truths but go home to the hearU and minds of the young men of the land ; could they feel but for one ingle moment what I am compelled to live and bat tle and endure day in and diy out, until the days drag themselves into weeks that seem like month?, and months that seem like yean, pleas ures and joys all gone; yet compelled to live and endure, or rather die on; could every young man feci these 1 am mpei;ea io icei arm . . sr ,a .1 bear them, it seems to rne that it would be enough to mako them, wnile thev vet have the iHr to do it, dash the sparkling Jam nation te I ' . . - the earth in all the priae 01 an raani- US temptation."
