pS~ Capt. Minor and his troop OF
horsemen visited Eaton last week,
rs per announcement. We were
glad to see them, and to have it in
our power to aid in sending some
Of them away with the means OF
keeping their hands warmer than
when they came to Q us. We
were also pleased to hear from
some of them that they understand
that they are going to war to re-
store the old Union, peace and or
der, and not to shoot the whites
to tree the blacks. One man said
to us that if q Seccssionist and an
Abolitionist were placed before
him, he "would shoot the Adolf
ZIONIST; first, because" he "lookcd
upon him as one of the party who"
had drought the present war upon
the country" We state this fact to
show our "public.opinion" neigh
bors that the noble and self-sacri-
fcing mel who have gone forth to
defend us, have no sympathy with
the Churches and Atheists who
seek to convert America into a sea
of blood, and a desert of ashes, to
bring about the freedom @ of the
negro by desolation and death.

eca. The cleverly written lines on
the condemned Picture, recently
circulated in, and in the vicinity Of
Eaton, have caused no small fun to
our laughing ncighbors, and they
have been so prolific as to have
produced two issues Of doggcrels,
of q kind to make either a cat or
the man dressed in Fremont's old
boots, puke in the open streets.
A "Great Indignation Meeting"
was to be held in Eaton last week,
to pronounce sentence Of condem-
nation on President Lincoln and
his Cabinet, but the dread Of car
rying their horrible and secession
principles, too far for the safety Of
their own necks, led the Abolition
lists of Eaton to draw IN their Gilt
tie Turtle" horns, and with a split
in their camp, they refused to open
the Court House door, on the night
fixed on for holding their "Great
Indignation Meeting," and went to
bed cursing ono another-Yes, we
heard them, and thought hell had
been let loose. All right, gentle
men you have damned the por-
trait of the President of the Uni
ted States. Go ahead-we have
our eyes upon you; and clever as
you are, we + vain enough to
think that we can teach you some
useful lessons-and we can afford
to tell you that you have taught us
some useful things.

OuR STELLAR SYsTEM.-The grandest of all
problems with which science has ever grappled,
Ia the relation Of the stars to each other. Sir
William Herschel, with his great telescope and
his comprehensive mind, led the way in this sub
lime study, aud the path which he marked out Is
now Loing pursued by able and earnest observers
all over the civilized world. The results yet
obtained in each other, and their distances apart,
are neither AZ positive nor Us definite a. our own
solar system, still, within certain limits some
facts have been determined which almost over
wbclm the mind with their uncomfortable gran
deur.
First, IL has been ascertained, that our sun is
one of an nnumerabe multitude Of stars, which
are grouped together Ia one collection or system.
separated from other stars in the universe. The
general form of this stellar system. and our posi-
tion In 1t, have been roughly determined IL Is
In the form of an irregular wheel, with q deep
notch in one side, and with portion Of another
wheel branching out from It. Our sun is situated
pretty near the middle Of the system, and about
where the branch divides. The dimensions OF
this collection Of stars so vast that II express
ed in miles they would require rows Of figures OF
such confusing length as to convey no definite
idea to the mind, aud the plan has been adopted
OF stating the time which q ray OF light would
require TO traverse them. IL would take loco
motive 500 years to pass from the earth TO the
sun. while ray of light makes the journey In
with the same velocity, would require three years
to reach the nearest fixed star. In applying this
measuring rod to our stellar system, 1t is found
that through the thickness of the wheel, the dis
tance is such that light would occupy about one
thousand years, and through the diameter mol
less than ten thousand years in making the pass
age. In some directions, indeed, the system
stretches away into the depths of space beyond
the reach of the most powerful telescope tC
measure.
If we pass through the lnconceivable distance
we have been considering, out beyond the bound
aries OF our stellar system, we find region o
empty space, destitute of stars, at all eve0ts o
those which are luminous and visible. Travers
ing this void space through distances which appa
the mind through their immensity, we find othe
systems of stars probably similar to our own
! And astronomers are now considering the posi-
Bile relation OF those several clusters to eacl
other-whetber there Is not system OF systems
This Ia the most sublime problem which has eyei
engaged the attention Of the human mind. Sci

CONTROLLING HER TEMPER.--The husband of a
lady of fiery temper says before marriage, he
was warned of her fiery temper. To test the ac-
curacy of the information, one evening, az he sat
next to her at dinner, he managed cleverly to
jog the servants elbow, as plate OF mock-turtle
soup was offered her, which of course was upset
over the young lady's white dress OF tule lace
No complaint, not even frown being evinced
the delighted suitor concluded that what he had
heard was q mistake. and the marriage took
place. Bnt soon the lady's real character dis
played iiself--as is always the case after mar
riage, but never beforehand his wife, like a hu
man Siromboli, was subject to fiery eruption'
every ten minutes upon an average.
al How is it, my dear" said the happy husband
" that having such bad temper, you stood the
ordeal by soup so well ~
"Why," said the lady. I may have appeared
Indifferent at the time, but good heavens you
should have only gone into my room little while
afterward, ard seen the marks Of teeth on The

Coon ADvICE.--Jane Eyre says: 81 know that
If women wish to escape the stigma OF husband
seeking. they must act and look like marble or
clay-cold, expressonless boodless for every
appearance of feeling, OF JOY, sorrow, friendli-
ness, autipathy, admiration, disgust are alike
construed by the world into an attempt TO hook
a husband. Never mind well.meaning women
have their own consciences to comfort them after
all. Do not, therefore, be too much afraid of
showing yourself as you are, atiectionate and
good hearted, do not too harshly repress senti'
meuts aud feelings excellent 10 themselves, be-
cause you fear some puppy may fancy that you
are letting them come out to fascinate him do
not condemn yourself to live only by halves,
because II you showed too much mitigation, some
pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into
his pate TO imagine that you designed to devote
your life TO his inanity."

WAR on NO WAR.--The Seceders marched In
armed bodies. and compelled the guards OF the
United States forts and arsenals to surrender
them; but 1t wos no war.
With arms In their hands, they captured mill
ions of dollars worth OF cannon, small arms aud
munitions of war, belonging to the United Statesi
but II was no war.
They seized the ships of the United States; but
it was no war.
They seized the mint and the money OF the
United States. and applied them to their own
use; but IL was no war.
They fred on an unarmed ship, carrying sup
plies TO fortress In the United States; but 1t
was no war.
They are besicglng the fortresses of the United
States, have surrounded them with military
works, and cut off their supplies but 1t was no
war.
But if the United States attempt to relieve
their beleaguered garrison, or even send them
provision in an unarmed vessel IL is war.
If any attempt be made TO transport cannon
from one fort to another, or from foundry to q
fort, 1t is war.
If they transfer a soldier from fort to fort or
from State TO State, II IL war.
To talk of executing their laws protecting
their commerce, or collecting their revenue, 1t Is
war-horrble war.-t Washington Star.

THE PLEASURES OF LIFE AT EIGHTY-NINE.-A
correspondent of one of the Western papers, who
has rend Grant Thorburn's latest account OF him
self, wherein that active octegenarian expresses
his delight at living to the age of eighty niue
years, and enlarges upon the comfort he derives
from the "sawiag of stove wood" demonstrates
against such hilarious manifestations He says
In the first place. 1t is extremely questiona-
BILE whether it is good thing to be eighty nine
years Of age under the most favorable circum-
stances. At that period OF your life you have
outlived all the friends of your youth and man
hood, aud are solitary even among those who
know you perfectly we'll. You belong to the
past and have nothing to do with the present.
1t is very probable that you make yourself disa'
greeable by declaring TO the rising generation
around you the excellence OF the good old times
You are garrnlous and obstinate, and your opin-
ions tolerated rather than respected.
Mr. Thorburn says his senses fail-otherwise
he Is In good health. and saws stove-wood as
comfortably as twenty years ago. IL may be
happiness to saw stove-wo at eighty nine, but
we cannot with our present feelings regard II IN
that light and II this Is held out as an Incentive
to long life, we think one would be willing to go
trihe earlier.
1t In small inducement to become eighty nine
years old to learn that Mr.. Thorburn has not had
the rheumatism, the headache, or the toothache,
when we learn that an octegenarian has still
twingcs Of that heart disease which aflicts the
| young. To lose the senscs-not to see, hear or
feel very comfortably is bad-but not to have
outlved the twingcs alluded to, may well make
one pause and think twice before he lives to be
