FRIDAY AUG UST 7. 16S5
VEXUS AND JUPITER.
Ox present evenings Yenus and Ju
piter may be seen almost side by side
sparkling in the western twilight.
To the naked eye there is not much
difference to be perceived between
Jupiter and Yenus. But in a good
telescope the difference is very great,
and the astronomer knows that it
would take 1,400 globes like Yenus to
equal the bulk of Jupiter. Yet Yenus
is only a trifle smaller than the earth.
These two worlds now shining almost
side by side in the sky are still more
different in their condition. They
represent two different conditions
in planetary history. Jupiter not
withstanding its enormous size, isi
speaking in a geological sense, a mere
baby beside Yenus or the earth. The
telescope shows that its huge globe
is still in the throes of that age of
fire and vapor which precedes the
formation of a planetary crust,
and when the observer understands
the magnitude of the forces at work
there is hardly any phenomenon in
the heaven 3 so awe-inspiring as a
telescopic view of the drifting, toss
ing and whirling surface of Jupiter.
Yenus, on the other baud, appears to
be in very much the same condition
as the earth, possessing a cool and
rigid surface, wrinkled and diversi
fied with mountains and plains, and
enveloped by an atmosphere in which
float clouds like those that refresh
tho earth. The study of the planets
has never been pursued with so much
industry and success as at present.
Astronomers arc just beginning to
understand that it is possiblo for
them to learn much about the past
and f u lure of tho earth by studying
the present condition of its sister
planets. "Whoever looks at Jupiter
and Yenus in the western skies sees
two worlds, one having all tho phases
of the earth's history since it was
"without form and void" still bofore
it, and tho other as old in a planetary
sense as the globe we tread, and, per
haps, possessing as wonderful a his
tory since life appeared upon its sur
face. In a hurried quotation from "Win.
Shakespeare, Esq., with whose pres
ent addrcs3 we are not familiar, Tun
Astorian last "Wednesday, used the
expression "still harping on mine un
cle." More exact quotation would
have been, "still harping on my daugh
ter." As that is the only mistake Tnx
Astorian thinlcs it has made during
an entertaining discussion with tho
Oregonian, it hastens to correct it be
fore its attention is directed to it by
its astute contemporary whoso lack
of tangible argument worth answer
ing is so painfully apparent to those
who fain would bo its friends.
There are annually made in the
United States about 3,250,000,000 ci
gars, of which number Kew York
city produces 700,000,000, -with a
round valuation of $25,000,000, it be
ing the largest cigar-manufacturing
center in the world, not excepting
Cupa, which produces annually 47,
900,000 cigars for importation to this
country, or nine-tenths of all the ci
gars imported from foreign countries
to the United States.
Tom Fitch of California aud Ari
zona, is in Baker City in this state,
and will probably locate there. He
and Henry Edgerton arc the two
best talkers on the coast and if he
stays in Baker City long enough to
be elected to the legislature, as ho
surely -would be, the Oregon legisla
ture would never dream of adjourn
ing senator or no senator, while his
eloquence held out.
The Washington Post says that
more than 82,000,000 has been paid
to John Boach on account of the four
neW cruisers. The article shows that
not only the Dolphin but the Atlanta,
Boston, and Chicayo have been near
ly paid for. The following figures
are given as authentic:

In Massachusetts 800,000 depositors
have 250,000,000 in the savings
banks. Im New York the savings
institutions hold $373,000,000of small
deposits. In the south such a thing
as a real savings bank is not known.
The Canadian Pacific lacks 200
miles of being in daily traffic opera
tion from end to end. Forty miles
of road are about ready to turn over
to the operating department, and 1G0
miles remain yet to build.
Thero are few towns in England
under 20,000 inhabitants that have a
daily paper. There are few towns
in America of 20,000 inhabitants that
have not from two to five papers.
The Missouri RepuWican, a
staunch Democratic paper thinks that
if old Henry A. Wise could bo resur
rected long enough to see his son,
John S.. running for governor of Yir-
ginia on the Republican ticket he
would go back to his grave feeling
that he had not hanged the lamented
John Brown altogether in vain.
Only two of our ex-presidents re
