Formerly only professional astronomers studied the heavens; now telescopes of every size and description may be seen poiinii: from the roofs of houses and private observatories. As a more discoveries have been made during the period specified than ever before in the same 3 -1 1 of i me.

Tnis result is due to several causes, as will hereaft, made A in. -r in- mi in (11 ooVe mav be of Ghic has dir. bv inde'iendent WOVKi 1'S unihain. ted tie it ij o-n-il i 1 i i 1 1 only a six one to r. 11 itleil telescope, oils ind dou b'e stars wholly new to Mr.

P.iooks. of Phelps, N. and -Mr. Wells, of Albany, have all ma de eomet-ary discoveries of an important nature. Professor swift, of Rochester, has discovered two intra-mercurial planets, several new nebula', and seven comets, for hich he has been awarded three German medals and the LoLande prize of the French Academy of sciences.

Professor Hall of Washington, is the discoverer of both of the moons of Mars, and Professor Rond of the eighth satellite and transparent rini; of Saturn. )f course, manv tine private observatories have been erected recently in various parts The fee of a pension airent ho success-J fully prosecutes a pension claim, is ten dol- lars, unk-ss the case was commenced before hen. by contract, a fee of not less than twenty-live dollars may be allowed by the Commissioner of Pensions. If the claim fails, the airent is entitled to no fees. The pension agents at Washington, at different times, have sent out petitions, ostensibly representing that the objects were to ask Congress to irrant increase of pensions, in- crease of bounty, or public lands.

The real object, however, was to net the names and service of soldiers, which they copied from these petitions before liliiiir. Now they send out circulars, letters and questions to all the soldiers hose names they procured, proposing to ret pension or bounty or in- 1 creased allowance. With these letters are circulars, or more frequently the ease, they send the circulars and then wait till a reply is received from the soldier, when a( blank application is sent to him to fill out for his claim, and he is informed at the same time that to cover expenses of examining the record, clerk hire, stamps, will require an expenditure of two or three dol- lars, which will be placed to the credit of. the applicant when his claim is allowed. Soon additional evidence and more money; is called for, until the leiral fee is all paid before the claim is allowed.

The asrent then loses his interest, and the claim is neirlected, and the applicant finds for the lirst time that he has been swindled out of! his money. There is no cost connected with the prosecution of pensions, or bounty cases, except postage, which rarely reaches fifty cents, and the fees of the Justice of the Peace, or Notaries, which applicants usually pay at the time the papers are made out. The applicant who pays a claim airent any fees for his services before Lis claim is" completed, exposes himself to a swindle. Cheap Kates to the West.

4. CMM Ai K. L.irly has tlis savior railed thee. Thy short journey here is o'er; Soon tlis feet itrew "tired and weary. Lingering ith us on the shore: God in mercy called thee early.

Thy young trusting heart to ve From earth's many hitter sorrow, Ksi ker. deeper than the grave. Scarcely one short year had vanished One short year of toil aud strife since the Iteaper came to roh thee ofa tender, trusting wife; And Death's angel hovering round her, I lo-r-l tier ey es in 'Irramlrs sleep. And they laid her down io slumber In tin- grave so dai and dorp. Laid her where the south winds murmur Tender ro.iiieiiis for the dead.

And the early dew drops the grees s'rilss o'er her hesd. Vet 'twa-only her trail bodv Ther lefi to moulder there. For her spirit rose triumphant. And hrr hite wing cisft the And perhaps she beckoned to thee, o'er the ater deep and dark. Bidding thee to fear no danger, it Is- ready to em hark.

Loing parents, sisters, brotlitr. All that made this earth bright. Little arms so white and tender, ould not stay thine upw ard flight. As the notes came drifting sweetly, o'er th river chill and ide. And the came to bear tins- safely tothe other side.

Did he whisper: "Courage, brother. The bright landing is not far. Where she waits a husband's oiiunp. With the Golden Galea a.iarr-' Did the savior bid thee vvelcouie. To that bright and happy land.

Saying: -Good and faithful servant nine with those on nay right hand" Safely sheltered from the tempest, summer's heat and Winter's cold, who is there would recall thee Iron! the Heavenly shepherd's fold! We shall mi thee, we shall mourn Know in that we meet no more Till we too hnve crossed the river. And our feet have touched the shore; And tha tears will Tall unhidden. As we ga.iupoii the sod Heaped sieve the ife and husband, Whose pure spirits are with God. And may He shield the orphans Left without father's care. Mar He lead them by still waters.

And through pastures green and fair. And let thy precious promises To them forever stand. Like the shadow of a giant rock, la a dreary de-en land. I liRKESFIKI.D, I March lssi. Kditok Democrat: The editor of the iiuhlicaii insists that the Commissioners have been running the county in debt at the rate of nearly jsoov) year for the past two years, by making the Is cent levy, and thinks there is no other possible solution of the matter.

Suppose that on the 1st day of last June there had been 0f county fund on band, and suppose the Commissioners had made no levy for county purposes, and the expenditures from the 1st day of last June until the 1st day of next June would by will the gentleman pretend to say that the Commissioners run the county in debt by not making a levy sufficient to meet the current expenses of the county for another The idea is preposterous. I showed in my first article that the amount on hand June 1st. 11, was and that a levy of is cents on the loo would produce a revenue of which, added to the amount on hand. niake a total oi ami I took 4 ears and showed that the av erage expenses of the county were near per annum. Now.

I ask in all fairness, if any reasonable man would not suppose that levy of Is cents on the would be sufficient to pay tue current expenses oi tue county lor an- other year. After car. reading the article in the it leads me to the conclusion that t1 editor's theory is this: That it link' kind of dift' renee what amount tti- curty niiy have on hand at the beginning of a- vear. hen the Commissioners iiaa- tu.r levy they ought to make a suffi cieiit i-v io meet the annual current ex pene, ot the county. I would advocate a theory.

I believe tiiat lftheie is a large surplus i hand at the beginning of any year that tue Commissioners should reduce trie below an amount sufficient to meet tue curie it expenses of tue county for another year, and tuns reduce the surplus on hand. A large surplus of any tund breeds extrav agatiee. see the effect in the art of our National Government. 1 stated in my tirst article on this subject that I Would nut disois whether the Com- missioners acted wisely or not in making a lev of only Is cents on" the in the year 1 lss 1, 1 ut I gave toy opinion on tue nuttier wilhout discussing it. Now if tne editor of the trunks the Commissioners commuted an error in making the levy of th tl year, and thinks they should have made a larger levy, let him boldly declare it, and I not attempt to evade the matur by any i kind of dodging, such uittiiupts will not lead me into a discvisMoii of thai uuestion.

ll tie thmka tLe levy was not sufficient, let hi in astrt it. and perhaps there are tho-e ho tuink it was suffi -ient and will discuss the matter. Wvt. M. Wkp.iii.

This state of drunkenness is near enough to the condition of lunacy to make it desirable to restrain the liherty of the drunkard. Where drunkenness is habitual the drunkard should be divested of the use of his property. The policy ot the law should be to make drunkenness a shameful crime.
