over this country, and his house suspended,
but on his return he asked only for time

stoppage was heavy blow, and being fol.
lowed by a fire in 1859, which burned his
store to the ground, and by the panic OF
December 1860, just before the breaking
out of the war, he was finally obliged to
compromise with his creditors. Thus re.

what's the Use Of the Moen I

Nj. Geotfroy, Of Paris, asks, IN an article
in the Moniteur, what may be the utility of
the moon with regard to our planet, and
whether il is only there for the purpose Of
raising the waters of the ocean twice day.
To this he replies that besides the great
planets that are carried along the regular
path round the sun, there exists an unin.
tied number OF bodies of different hi2es,
moving through space in every direction,
as the almost daily discovery Of a vast num-
ber of asteroids proves In his opinion the
moon was once one Of those erratic bodies,
and happening one day to get within the
sphere of attraction of our planet, was
TO ced to become our satellite, instead of
continuing it's own course, Hence, the
moon is but an accident. The earth had
done without 1t before, and might do with.
out il again. Venus was about the size of
the earth, and goes regularly round the sun,
although it has no satellite. Why should
tho earth need one? He continues 10 say
that our moon is OF no use to us, because we
might perfectly we'll DO without oceanic and
atmospheric tides, and the best eulogium
he eau PASS on our satellite being that it
is perfectly useless, he goes further AMI
declares that we owe il to the merest chance
it having been picked up, as it were, Oh
the way and as such thing might happen
again, the author sees no impossibility
whatever in our getting some day another,
and perhaps more moons still, added TO our
stock. NJ. GeoifrOy ia one of those who
deny that the moon is inhabited. First, be-.
cause the excessive cold there must pre-.
vent the possibility Of any animal hfo and
second, because the moon has no atmos-
phere.
