To a majority of the members of the District national guard the principal subject which troubles their souls aud stomachs as spring ap- proaches is “what shall we get to eat at the annual encampment.” The men who were in camp last year ask with the influence of a great experience behind them; the novices are curi- ous to learn the fate that has been waiting for them within the age-blackened walls of old Fort Washington. Up to the present time no_ definite arrange- ments have been made by Gen. Ordway as to camp cuisine, but a general plan has been out- lined and the probabilities are that but few changes will have to be made init. The prin- cipal source from which sprang the good- humored discontent associated with meal tim in the last encampment was the cooking and serving. The quality of the food supplied was of the best and the supply was ample, but the corps of French cooks was unequal to the task of properly preparing a sufficient quantity of palatable nutriment. They were unfitted in many ways for such a task. Their training had been in a more fantastic school of cookery than was suited to hungry soldiers and when the rush came upon them they were wont, as Sergt. Maj. Corvaizier had 1t, “to get rattled. Then they failed to gauge, with auy degree of correctness, the great American appetite. This ‘was proven beyond cavil or controversy by the production of a so-called “fish chowder,” the mere memory of which is endowed with emetic powers of a violent description, That mght a more than ordinarily large proportion of the brigade satisfied its appetite at Kiver View. The arrangements for serving the food at the fast camp were the best that could possibly have been made, and had the waiters been men of experience or had they been enthusiastic in the performance of the duty assigned to them the amount of friction would have been mate- rially decreased. No one could really be blamed for the condition of affairs. Gen. Ord- way and his staff had done their utmost in the several departments, and had they been under- stood and supported the “kicking” would have speedily reached the minimum of force. It Was an experience that was necessary, and ita results will be seen in the satisfactory manner in which the feeding arrangements will be car- ried out this year. TAKING TURNS. When a meal time arrives in this summer's camp the first regiment will fall in and be marched down to the mess sheds, The colonel will be at the head of the central table and the members of his staff will be distributed like the sheep and the goats, on his right and lefthands, respectively. Company officers will be at the right of their respective companies, while the “non-coms” will be properly distributed. This will insure order. The regiment will remain standing until ordered to take seats. A corps of colored waiters will then distribute the edi. bles and the liquid untileach man is satisfi that “too much of a good thing is enough. Until the colonel is ready the entire regiment will remain seated. The lieutenant colonel is to be stationed at the foot of the central table, and as soon as his appetite and the respective appetites of those around him are temporarily out of existence he will notify the colonel of that fact. Then, if the colonel has had enough. and if he is satistied that no stomach has been neglected, he will give the words of command which will bring the regiment to its feet and march it back to camp. In the meantime the second regiment will’be forming on its parade ground and using lan- guage calculated to provoke a breach of the peace because the first regiment is the first, While the men who have eaten are returning to their tents and the men who want to eat are moving at a quick step in the direction of the mess sheds the waiters will have red up the debris and reset the tables. so twhen the arrives things will look just as nice and clean as they did before the eating enced. The order m which the regiments will go to meals has not yet been ar- rauged, so men in the “second” need not start out tomake arrangements for transfer to the “first.” Stay where you are, THE © xa. Who will do the cooking is a question that can be answered now. Adozen sturdy colored men, experts, will watch the baking of the bread, the browning of the beef and the boil- ing of the “‘murphies;” gaod, healthy cooking. Coffee, which iast year took up so much valu- able range surface, will be brewed this time in huge iron boilers permanently fixed near the kitchen. Last vear the steward.who watched the cooks and did his best to keep an eye on everything else on the reservation, dress parades and lady Visitors not excluded, was driven almost to suicide and certainly to intoxicants by the ap- pareatly endless procession of men who called on him for food between meal hours. They were on guard duty and could not eat when their less busy comrades were struggling with that which was either set before thein or cap- tured from some weaker brother. Sometimes these ex-sentinels got a mouthful; sometimes they didn't. This y there will be a table kept continually set for the men who will be unable to partake with their regiments. A special cook will supply it with food and a special waiter will study to please, The second encempment of national guard is going t SOLAR LIGH? Prof. Searle’s Startling Figures Regard- ing the Radiant Energy of the Sun. the District great affair, AND HEAT. Prof. George M. Searle continued at the Catholic university last Friday his Friday after- noon astronomical course by explaining the various methods used in the computation of the amount of light and heat radiated from the sun’s surtace. He showed how, by means of a beam of sunlight passed through a lens, the direct light received from the sun has been determined to be 57,000 times as bright as the light of a candlea yard distant. He narrated Prof. Langley’s experiment in measuring the comparative brightness of the sun and the most highly heated molten steel at one of the great Pittsburg foundries. It was found that eighty-seven times as much heat and 5,000 times ux much light is radiated from a square foot ns of the sun’s surface as from that of the After showing the use of the burning 48 in determining solar heat and dexeribing the Pouiilet pyrheliometer, the lecturer went on to give a number of interesting figures re- garding the amount of energy represented by the radiated heat of the sun. Stating that a horse power consisted in a force sufficient to raise 3,300 pounds one foot in one minute, he showed that the amount of heat radiated from the sun to the earth is equivalent to 304 trill- | ion horse power, and the total amount radiated from the sun into space is 600 sextillion horse power, or 10,000 horse power for each square foot of the sun's surface. He described the Mouchot and the Cresson | solar engines for the utilization of the heat of the sun in mechanical processes, which have both been successfully operated, the first named at the Paris exposition aud the second in New York. After the close of the lecture the rector, Bishop Keane, made the announcements for the public courses of February. Prof. Searle's course will be continued every Friday in February at 4:45 o'clock, all the lectures being illustrated, us usual, with stere- oscopie views, ‘The Wednesday lectures will be by Bishop Keane himself and will be devoted to a review of Herbert Spencer's ‘First Principles.” The bishop recommended, as a preparation for the lectures of this course on the part of those who expect to attend, a reading of the first few chapters of Mr. Spencer's book, which will each be the subject of a separate discourse, ————— Berrer Tsax Gotp—Oxe Hoxprep Lots Neau Denven, Covorapo, Fars.—Desiring advertise our new addition extensively we ha concluded to give away 100 more choice lots, We will also sell 200 very choice lots at 4 each and 100 corner lots, 50x125 feet, for $8 each, provided all orders for same are in b; February 20.

His Statement of the Republican Posi- | Progress of the Sun Northward—The tion in the Pending House Contest. Speaker Reed makes the following statement concerning the republican position in the pres- ent great controversy: “Mr. Carlisle was entirely right when he said in substance that the decision of the House that a quorum was constituted to do business whens majority of the House was present would change from the foundation of the method of doing business, We certainly will do 80, for it will enable the majority elected by the people to rule by their own votes and not by the sufferance of the minority. “The rule of the majority is at the very base of our government. If it be not the true rule our faith is vain and we are yet in our sins. “Look at the practical working of the other doctrine. The republicans have a majority of 7, but they have only 3 over aquorum. One hundred and sixty-eight is our number; 165 is quorum. If we are to furnish a quorum, the whole democratic party sitting idly by in their seats but not ‘“‘present,” dumb and silent when business is to be transacted, but vocai when it is to be obstructed, then there can be but three republicans absent on penalty of stoppage of the public business. Now let us see how that wor! We are allowed but three absentees, Mr. Rockwell is sick. It would endanger his life to come, Mr. Wilbur isin the same case. Mr. T. W. Browne is too sick to be able to be there all the time. Mr. Caswell’s wife was dying and common decency required his pr her bed side. Another member must be with his wife for urgent reasons somewhat similar. Just about this number of members will at all times be sick or incapacitated. These may get well, but others fall sick in their turn. There then is our quorum, according to Mr. Carlisle's idea, gone entirely to pieces, though even after all fraud be deducted the people had found for the republicans by seven majority. All this time while we are keeping in the House other men hardly less sick, a hundred and forty lusty democrats sit silent in their seats, doing no pablic duty except to draw their pay. “Is it possible that the United States is pay- ing those gentlemen $13 a day without even the poor privilege of counting their silent forms? Mr. Carlisle says there is no precedent for the decision of the House. I have person- ally seen and heard him furnish a hundred. A hundred times I have heard him declare that the number for and against such a bill was, say, 80 for and 20 against, mathematically less than a quorum, and yet declare the bill passed and then sign that bill, thereby certifying, under the most solemn sanction of his oath of office, that the bill had properly and constitutionally passed the House. How could he have done this if his doctrine be true that a quorum must vote? Understand me: Day after day Mr. Carlisle, in my presence, has declared such a bill had votes for and against by his own count as Speaker less than a quorum and has yet immediately declared it passed, and has signed it, thus furnishing the only proof the President could have that it was passed. How could this be except on the plain ground thatif a quorum did nut vote the presence of a quorum was enough? “But this matter does not need argument. In Mr. Carlisle’s own state, in democratic Ten- nessee, in democratic New York, in democratic Ohio, in Massachusetts and in the courts every- where, as you may see by Mr. Butterworth’s speech, the bs upheld by the House is the law of the lan “And it ought to be if good government is not to perish from the face of the earth. “Not a ruling has been made in the House to suppress filibustering which has not the full sauction of parliamentary law. That men should resist only shows how ingrained the wrong course has become and how necessary the remedy. “What is the House trying to do? Why, to perform its highest function, that of deciding the right of a member to his seat. Until 1882 no man ever dared to filibuster against such a case, No man ought to be allowed to do it to- day. Yet every day three hours are wasted in approving the journal, when five minutes would be ample. These three hours belong to the public business. The people do not under- stand that every wanton roll call consumes three-quarters of an hour. “Some of these men are talking about rules, They are now acting under a body of rules which the American people use in their assem- blies—a body of rules well known and under- stood by all those who are not wilfully igno- rant, “When we first came here the obstructionists declared that they would die in the last ditch against any rules they did not approve of, and now they are wanting to die at Thermopylw in defense of the liberties of their country be- cause we don’t force rules on them. If there could be fewer deaths at Thermopylw and more business in the House the country would be better off. “It is true that the democratic leaders, like Mr. Carlisle, have long since ceased to partici- pate in the defiance of good government, but they should now make themselves heard aftirm- atively on the side of order.” Mr. Carlisle is preparing an address giving an explanation of the democratic position. Mr. Carlisle is not very well, having taken a cold some days ago, THEY DISLIKE LABOR. Prisoners Who Prefer the Jail to the Work House. Some prisoners when the Police Court sen- tences them to the work house take appeals to the Criminal Court for the purpose of serving their time in jail and getting released through the District attorney's office. It is thought that in most cases this is done to escape work, asin the jail the prisoners are confined and fed, while at the work house they are made to labor and the accommodations are not so good. A few days ago Wm. H. Chariton, sentenced for vagrancy to sixty days in the work house on November 23 last and who took an appeal, ap- plied to Assistant District Attorney Lipscomb for his discharge from jail, he having beon there over sixty days. No action has, however, been taken in the case, and Mr. Lipscomv states that it is time that the practice of taking appeals to avoid labor is broken up, and that for the present, at least, the prisoner can there or petition for 4 writ of habeas corpus, HE DIDN'T SUCCEED, A young negro named Sam Moore was taken to the Police Court Saturday on a charge of vagrancy. Hg objected to being sent to the work house and threatened a general smash-up in court, so that he would be sent to jail, He attempted to carry out his threat by a tirade of abuse directed aguinst the officers and prison- ers, and the resuit was that he got four months in the work house instead of a jail term, which he hoped for, EXTE ee SION OF CITY STREETS, Opposition to the Biil Before the Sub- Judiciary Committee of the House, The judiciary subcommittee of the House District committee were to have had a hearing Saturday on the bill to extend the streets of the District, No one turned up, however, to appear before them and the matter was post- poned. ‘This bill is creating a good deal of dis- cussion and considerable opposition has cropped out.

John Smith hus persisted i Moon and the Planets. From the New York Times, The first view of the sun can now be had about 7a.m.,and the days are ten hours and nineteen minutes long. During the month he gets 4° 52’ nearer the equator, and the days at the close of the month are lengthened by just about one hour. The moon fulls on the 4th at 8 o'clock in the evening, and should the night be clear the sight will be well worth seeing, as the moon is high in northern declination and will be visible throughout the night. On the 6th there will be conjunction with Saturn; on the 10th with Uranus. On the 12th the moon's phase will be that of last quarter, on which dave there will be conjunction with Mara, On the 17th there is the new moon, which is in conjunction with Jupiter and Mercury. On the 19th our satel- lite completes its circle of monthly conjunc- tions with the planets by passing fairly close to Venus, To the naked eye few of these con- junctions will be attractive, eo many of the rilliant planets being at the time unfavorably situated for observation, Jupiter, although morning star, is hardly yet visible in the eastern sky, being still rather too close to the sun; but as the month advances we shall scecualy see more of his brilliant luster. In the spring he will bayisible in the morning hours, in the summer during the whole night, and in the evenings for the remainder of the year.

It was almost the only evening star last month, and it 1s now in the constellation of the goat. Even the most patient of star gazers could not catch a glimpse of this planet unaided by a glass, and it will re- main hidden until about the time of its west- ern elongation from the sun early in April. Saturn begins the month as morning star, but on the 18th of the month it is in apposition with the sun, rising at the latter sets, and after that date it ranks among the evening planeta. An observer who knows the star group famil- iarly designated as the Sickle wil resdily be able to find Saturn, as he is serenely shining a dezree to the eastward of Regulus, the bright- est star of the group. As one degree is nearly twice the diameter of the moon, the gradually lessening distance between the star and planet will form an interesting feature, particularly as the two come quite close together, after which the space between them gradually widens, Uranus and Neptune are nearly at opposite stations in the heavens, but ‘unfortunately are well beyond our vision, their gereral position being distinguishea by bright stars of the first magnitude in the same general locality, Uranus being close to Spica, which comes to our me- ridian about 4 o'clock ir the morning, quite well down in the southern portion of the heavens, while Neptune, the outermost mem- ber of our system, is not far from the brilliant Aldebaran, one of the brightest twinklers in the winter skies, which comes above the horizon nine hours earlier, Venus, after her close conjunction with Jupi- ter/ continues on her way eastward toward the sun, and, like her rival, is conspicuous by her absence, as she is so near the sun that we are notable to distinguish this most sparkling of allthe gems. On the 17th she is in conjunc- tion with the sun, and, passing to the other side, sbe again takes up the role of queen of the evening skies, where for the greater part of the year she will remain, reaching her greatest elongation east of the sun on September 23 and being at the greatest brilliancy October 28, The chief interest among the planets for the year centers about Mars, which remains morn- ing star until May 27, when occurs the “‘appo- ion of Mars.” At this time the earth, planet and sun will all be in the same straight line, and consequently we shall be nearer the Mar- tians than at any time during the year. These appositions come about every twenty-six months and every fifteen years they occur when the two planets are nearest to each other, THE FIXED STARS, When one is conversant with the positions of a few of the principal stars he has at his com- mand the means of ascertaining the where- abouts of the remaining stars of the first mag- nitude. A slight effort of memory only is re- We ail know the whereabouts of the North star and probably most of us are by this time well acquainted with the constellation known as the Great Bear or more familiarly as the Dipper. The two stars forming the outer portion ot the Dipper are called the Pointers, as they always point toward the Pole star. With this as a beginning we can _find the other bright stars. The planets, wandering about as they do, are not included in these rules of plumb, Aline from Polaris through the star atthe outer end of the handle of the Dipper passes through Arcturus, one ot the brightest stars. A line from Polaris perpendicular to the direction of the Pointers and on the opposite side to the Great Bear passes at 48 degrees’ dis- tance throngh the beautiful white star Capella, and in this same line and about the same dis- tance on the opposite side of the pole is a bright star in the Harp called Vega, About 28 degrees to the eastward of this star and almost the same distance from Polaris is the brightest of the group, known ax the Swan, Aline drawn from Polaris, between Capella and a star near it to the eastward, passes just to the west of the grandest of all constellations, Orion, which, from the beginning of astronomy, and probably long before astronomy wus thought of, was figured as a giant: sometimes a giant hunter, a sort of celestial Nimrod; some- times as a warrior. No one can mistake this most beautiful group, now so favorably situated for attracting our attention and commanding our admiration, as the two bright shoulder stars, Betelgeux and Bellatrix, the brilliant star Rigel on the giant's advanced foot, the trebly gemmed belt, and the pendant sword-tipped with w bright star, distinguish Orion unmistak- ably. Approaching the middle of the southern por- tion of the heavens can now be seen the bright- est of all the stars, Sirius, the famous dog star, which was originally one of Orion's hunting dogs i whose burning breath was supposed to d ers and plagues. This pid motion and is rushing from us atthe rate of about thirtymiles per second and is already so far that his light has been no less than twenty years on its way to us, so that in reality, mstead of saying Wwe see Sirius, we ought to say we see where he was some twenty years ago. ‘The young astronomer will no doubt fiud itinteresting to notice how. six months hence, the stars which are now rising at any given hour in the east will be found at the same hour setting iu the west, while those which at any hour are now setting in the west will be found six months hence rising im the east. ——-s00 A Few Marred Quotations. From the Atlante Journal. It has been pointed out many times that mis- quoting is mainly due to picking up our ac- quaintances with thoughts on the street, any- where, except from the pages of the author. Milton’s famous line on pride, “that last in- firmity of noble mind,” is spoiled by making the words “minds.” So is Pope’s fine thought, “welcome the coming, speed the going guest” spoiled by the substitution of “parting” for “going.” W Westward the star of empire takes its way” quoted every day, Bishop Berkeley wrote “course,” not * % Apt quotation sometimes finds its reward, as Uayle thought it should always, Raleigh was knighted because he quoted to Elizabeth Shakspeare’s lines on “the fair vestal throned in the west,” oe The will of the late J.
