the most brilliant` and . beautiful we
have yet Seel' it. Your correspondent-
firt•t noticed it as soon as it was really
dusk, or at ,shout 7.40 p. m, From
that time till about '9.46 p. m;,.. its
:notions were carefully watched and it
was indeed' a beautifnlasight. Its os-
cillatioes,' risings and fallings, circles
and ulatenuvres were enchanting. It
appeared through ail opera grass to be.
a solid ball about 2 feet in diameter,
with. Broad ti?strillg,wings, which.. circled
about so charmingly as to hold,its spec-
tators spell -bound and nearly breath-
less. Some people who have not seen
it fay its' a myth, but anyone who has

up, sometimes down low, sometimes iS
Still, sometimes moving. Some very
reliable people say that a murder was
committed there some years ago, but we
believe this to exist only in their ins.
agination. Some say it is a lantern
tied to a kite. Well, may be it is, but
it is too old, a!'ganre for that. Some of
you -newspaper men who have the time
and pluck should investigate this mys-
terious phenomenon. It will be a tine
lesson in astrology and you will be able
