APhINGToN.--We learn from a
farmer living near Arlington, that
this town and the country around it
are improving quite rapidly. Break
ing is being done in every direction,
and the. crops never looked better.
John and Robert Wright, of this
place and Waterloo, are building an
elevator at Arlington, to be COM
pleted by August 18th, at cost of
$4,000, with a capacity of from ten to
twelve thousand bushels. A flour
ing mill has been commenced, but
on account of some difficulty relative
to the water-power, the project has
been abandoned for the present, and
the same parties have commenced
the erection Of mill at Parkersburg.
Arlington las been looked upon as q
very Insignificant point, but the fact
OF its having a good water-power and
"a splendid country around it, war.
rants the assertion that it will soon
be station not to be sneercd at, as it
has been i'm the past. A large
amount of grain Will be shipped from
that point, by Bros. Wright. All
right, Bros. Wright, we think you
have selected Fight good sight, and
if you can get your town filled with
Wright" men, you will undoubted-
ly soon have right "smart chance
of town."

"THE AUsPIcIoUs TIME."-rhe following ex-
tract IL from the able pen Of Gen. ID. H. Hill. ed
itor Of The Land We Love- and should be caref1l-
ly perused and acted upon by every one
NOW is the auspicious time to begin 10 our
desoate but still beautiful South, TO correct false
notions about the servile nature of work. Those
with rs who have no need TO work with their own
hands belong generally to that class who shrank
from the hardships Of the march and the dangers
of the battle field. Their purple and fine linen
tell OF speculation and extortion, the widows
tears, the orphans wall, and the dead soldiers
blood Away with them Poverty is now the
true badge of nobility. II speaks eloquently OF
herosm, patriotism, obviousness of self and self
isb interest, generous sacrifice Of everything upon
the altar of country. No blazoned coat of arms
ever so plainly proclaimed honorable blood as
does that old faded uniform.
Take heed, o, ye heroes OF many hard won
field, lest yon bring stain upon your bright
eecutcheon. There Is a cowardice which shrinks
from duty, as well as cowardice which shrinks
from danger. 'Tis Just as unmanly to fear "the
worlds dread laugh" as IL Is TO fear the shot and
shell of an enemy's battery. II Is just as ignoble
to neglect the obligations at home as to evade the
service owing to the country. Your mothers,
wives and sweethesrts have not blushed for your
want of manhood in the field let them not blnsh
for your effeminacy and sothfulness at the reside
But We believe in the enduring manhood of the
Southern soldier. We believe that he will meet
toll ard poverty in the same noble spirit with
which be has met privation and peril. His is no
softliDg to be crushed by hsrdshps and TO be cast
down BY trouble. The lion in the path of the
tmid and irresolute is but contemplate cur to
him.

Curious ideas are prevalent about the state OF

"Dumbfounded spsniard" has become one of the
standard epithets OF the language, but the belief
that the Spaniards are a peculiarly uneducated
people, without schools or means of improvement,
is as exaggerated as IL is popular. Evidence of
this fallacy may be found in document issued

at Madrid. In the number and antiquity of its

THE MORTON OF THE srARs.--Ths search for the
solution Of some problems In astronomy that have
thus far euded research Is exciting the minds OF
many astronomers. What Is the center Of the
stellar universe Around what portion of these
worlds OF light does the universe seem to be re-.
volyirg These are questions which may not be
answered in our day. They are at present mat
ters of conjecture, and the astronomical calculs-
tions Of future years may illustrate and confirm
these conjectures or completely dissipste them
and leave men ss ignorant as ever. Perhaps Il
will heresfter appear that the problems In astrono-
my which we have so far solved are as nothing to
those which are yet to be investigated. From im-
perfect information obtained from the apparent
motion Of the heavenly bodies, astronomers have
advanced the theory that the sun With its attend
ant system Ia moving through space, in particu-
lsr direction. at . rate certainly not less than
10000 600 miles per anuum. This change of posi-
ton OF the sun gives TO the heavenly bodies an
apparent motion which is also complicated with
the real Independent motions Of individual stars.
OF 5000 stars observed by Bessel, 425 had q per-
cepfabIe motion. and Arglander more recently
published q list of $50 stars having proper mo-
ton. One Of these stars, called 81 Cygni. has an
enuual motion that would occasion in 800 years 9
change OF place In the heavens equal to the
moons apparent diameter. Though this star Ia
the nearest known TO us in the northern heavens.
its distance is such that its real motion has actual
ly been calculated at forty miles in q second, or
450 600 COO miles per annum, whilst the space IL
really travels Annually is but the ffty.thonsandth
part OF its distance from the earth.-lLedger.
