THE New PLASEr.--In 1915 the number
of known asteroids amounted to only four.
Vesta, Juno, Ceres and Pallas. The recent
discovery by Ferguson. at the Washington
Observatory, raises the number to thirty
one. On the night when the last planet was
discovered, the thirteenth and thirty-first
were in the field of the telescope together, and
thus this first of American planetary discov-
cries curiously remind us Of tie thirteen and
thirty one which are now together upon the

MISS DREMER AND NJ. FULLER.

Mr.. EDITOR IL have neither time nor in
clination to enter into Il newspaper cuntrO-
versy, especially with a lady. The article
which appeared in your paper in June last,
and to which Miss Bremen has taken cXcCp-
ton, was merely II defense Of great and no
bic woman, for whom my admiration is Of the
highest character, and perhaps to some may
appear enthusiastic. With regard to the
..lalseness Of the imputations there made
as Miss b. has been pleased to say-l am
perfectly willing to leave the matter as it
stands, merely referring the reader to page
40, vol. ]. american cdition) Of Miss Is. 5
Homes Of tie New WOrM
Strangely enough Miss Is. first denies the
computations" denominating it false" and
ssabsurd," and afterwards ustiGes upon the
ground, that sit was to put sen relief the
beautiful security which "a character such as
hers will. even under the shadow OF evil re-
port, enjoy in the hearts OF those that know
her, as well as in the faith OF good and high
minded men," 1t is hardly to be supposed,
that a lady Of Miss BIS presidents, would
deliberately do an act calculated to injnre
| the reputation of another, without some self
Justification; but however much the pubca-
| ton Of an infamous SANDER might do toward
showing s'the beautiful Sc ctrity'' then rriSiIg,
| it is extremely doubtful how far it might bsgcf
| that same .sbcauttul security" in the mind $
| of thousands to whom the SANDER would be
made known thro' the cntality of
Miss Brcmer's book. And l wonld respect
fully suggest, that in her future efforts to cN-
cmplify st!le faith Of good and high-minded
men, she would choose some su! jcct less
vulnerable and sensitive than a woman $
character, to illustrate her metaphysical
theories. The fact is this justification is
simply ridiculous, and the only wonder is that
she could impose upon her own creduity an
excuse, in the sutficicncy of which she may
safely congratulate herself as the sole be-
lever.
Miss B. is certainly happy in being able to
persuade herself that the appreciation other
| works IL the standard of .sc!rar sight and no.
bic mindedness;'; and | shall neither quarrel
with hsr self suliicicncy, nor obj set that am
set down among those who are deficient il
both these desirable faculties. a pcrnsal OF
her letter and Il more careful examination OF
her book have shown me the material for q
reply as little crcditablc TO her gratitude as
her charity; but have no disposition to pur
sue the subject further.

Glad that the day i. done.

Go burning through c,ch vein

And vanished ere the streams;
Gone is the verdarc from the feds
And gone the glorious flowers,
