NEPTUNE,

Last, but by no means least of the heavenly bodies, gives us this month

more than the usual variety, which, however, is not saying much for the

spice it affords. But it has a direct motion of 10° 42′, and a retrograde

motion of about 1′. On the 14th, at 11:00 p. m. it is in quadrature (90°

west of the sun); on the 26th, at 5:00 a. m. it is stationary, and on the

14th is 1° 25′ north of the moon.
