A BALTIMORE BELLE IN CoURT DRESS.
Boston Atlas, in speaking of a masquerade
ball in that city on Wednesday night last,
says:
Miss S. s., of Baltimore, appeared in
Court dress. This was one of the finest cos
tunes in the room, being rich and correct in
detail. Although exceedingly we'll disguised
her natural grace betrayed the lovely M ask
er, and concealment was OF no avail.
Were all the ladies of the Court so gifted,
the historical fullies of codrtiers could we'll
be pardoned.

One of the diggers asserts that he actually
saw the ghost of the deceased pirate near

faith that something valuable will reward
their toll. Hundreds of people have al

DEFlNlTIoN OF THE UNIVERSE.

Baron Jach, an eminent astronomer.
computes that there may be thousand
million of stars in the heavens, and then.
to illustrate OF describe the imusnsity Of
the universe, he says;
"If we suppose each star to BE- a sun,
and attended by ten planets, Clearing the
comets out of the calculation,) We have
ten thousand millions of globes ike the
earth, within what are considered the
bounds of the known universe. As these
are suns to give light throughout all these
systems, We may infer that here are eyes
also TO behold it, and beings whose ma
ture, in this one important particular, IS
analogous to our own.
But this is exclusive, probably. of
millions of suns, bosomed in tue unknown
depths of space, and placed forever be-
yond our ken, or the light Of which may
not have had time to travel down to US
since the period of their creation"
But this is not a very satisfactory H.
lustration; for What are these one
thousand millions of stars and ten thou
sand millions of globes, with the uncom-
pretended and incomprehensible number
that actually exist"
The best definition, says the Wash
ington Globe, and one tha. can never be
improved, has been given by Pascal,
whose fame is so great and so well de-
served as an able, eloquent. and intrepid
advocate of moral and religions truth,
against error, intolerance, and imposture;
and as a man profound 10 science and
in the learning Of his day as he was, he
is comparatively little known. His def
nition is that the center Of the universe
is everywhere and the circumference of
it nowhere which is at once astronomi-
caily exact and unimprobably concise and
elegant.
We viii now proceed to illustrate
this. Our planet, the earth, for instance,
IS a center, according to Pascal then we
viii imagine a point so remote from US
that telegraphic despatch, conveyed at
the rate of nearly two hundred thousand
miles per second, would not reach it in
less than ten millions of billions of years,
expressed by figures thus: 10,000,000,-
000,000000,000. Now this ineonceiva-
bly, remote point would be a center, also
and any other point million times as
remote-but the circumference is not
even approached in any degree, for there
is none.
No matter what may be the magni-
tude of a thing finite in its nature, and
cireumscribed by limits. and metes. aud
bounds, it cannot constitute even an at
omic portion Of what is by lis nature in
finite, and which is circumscribed by no
limits. Therefore, the whole solar sys-
TEN, or the whole of the universe ITSELF
as far as the telescope has reached it,
will not bear as great proportion TO the
stupendous whole as one drop Of water
would bear to al the water, salt or fresh,
on our globe"
