In May last a star blazed forth in the
northern crown, and was Of the second
magnitude. The astronomers gave II
immediate scientific observation, and re-
corded the result in technical terms.
which need not be repeated
There can be but little doubt that.
from a cause unknown to Us, it must
have been the subject of terrible catas-
trOphe at period perhaps distant; for
it must be borne in mind that, owing to
its immense distance, we may be only
witnessing the calamity of the past age.
From the sudden blazing forth of this
star, and then its rapid fading away,
Mr.. Huging and Dr. Miller have sug-
gested that in consequence of a great in
ternal CONFUSION probably large guam
tity Of hydrogen and other gases were
emitted from it.
During a discussion Of this star at a
meeting of the Royal Astronomical
Society, on June Sth, the astronomer
royal expressed his firm belief that the
wonderful object was actually in flames.
If we were inclined to speculate on this
unique astronomical phenomena, or the
probable consequence arising from such
a sudden outburst of fiery gas, what an
extensive subject for contemplation is
open to us Astronomically we have
known this minute star for years without
suspicion it has been classified with
others Of similar magnitude it has
been one Of many millions of such /:
while now it will be remembered by all
future generations as one of the most
remarkable stars of the universe. Or,
let our speculation be carried a little
further, and let US reasonably suppose
this small and hitherto nearly invisible
object to be an immense globe like our
own sun, and surrounded probably with
planets and satellites depending upon
their center for light and heat what
would be the effect of this sudden con
hagration on them? 1t makes one al
most shudder at the idea Of q system Of
worlds being annihiated at once without
warning, but such mast doubtless be the
fact We, however, in this quiet world
of ours can scarcely, perhaps, realize
such a catastrophe, but were our sun,
which is only star, analogous to those
in the heavens around US, to be suddenly
ignited in a similar manner to this dis
tant and unknown sun, all its attendant
planets and satellites, the earth included,
would be destroyed.

The Cultivation Of Hops.

A correspondents of the Chicago Times,
who is evidently well posted in what he
speaks of writing from Sparta, Monroe
county, Wis.,, says:
Owing to the enormous profits that
have been realized lately by hOp-grow-
ers in Wisconsin, a great amount of pub
lie interest has been manifested in regard
to hop culture, and you may possibly
consider the information / have been
able to gather Of sufficient interest for
publication. In this town, last season,
a hop-yard of seven aad half acres
yielded a not prORt of $4,000. It is,
therefore, not surprising that the hop
has become, in this section, what cotton
was in the Southern States before the
war The hopis king here. In this
town and immediate vicinity, there afa
at least twenty hop-yards, varying in
size from three to forty acres. They
might more properly be called gardens,
presenting, as they DO, an appearance Of
beauty, neatness, and perfection of eul-
tivation equal to any well attended aow-
er garden.
The soil and elimate.of this place ap-
pears to be peculiarly favorable to hops
The surface is undulating, and divided
into amphitheater-like valleys, sur
rounded by bluffs, or ridges, that are
beautifully picturesque Especially are
they so to one who has been long aeeus-
toned to the mOnOtOnOus surroundings
Of Chicago. The price of land suitable
for hops il 500 to S125 per acre.
Many Of the hOp-yards are upon leased
ground, which is rented at $40 per acre
per annum. The soil is a rich allgyiRm
upon bed of clay.
Hops are cultivated IN the same man
ner as 'eaea, with this difference: They
require more Of it. The roots are
planted in May-two roots to the hill
$40 hills to the acre. Six vines are
trained from each hill to two, aud some
times three poles, sixtesa to twenty eeeet
long. FamaSask are considered the best.
The rest Of the vi5es are allowed to re-
main rnnnin@ upon the ground, as a corps
de Teserre, in case of accident to those
upon the poles, which, at first, require to
be tied with wooden yarn, aud being ex-
eeedingly brittle, are very apt to get
broken 10 handling. When the vines
are up sufficiently, and require no fur
Their training, those upon the ground are
eoiled up and buried.
A singular feature of the hop is that
each acre planted requires ten hills Of
the male root, or "stamipate, which
does not hear hops, but with its bios
SONS impregnates the "pistulSte, or
bearing vines In purchasing roots
for planting it is highly important to
select the proper ''staminate to the
acre. Tie third year, and each sue
eeediag year, it is necessary 20 remove a
portion Of tha roots, otherwise they
would spread TO such an extent as to
render it impossible to cultivate them.
This operation is termed grubbina. The
grubbings are used fsE planting new
yards. The safe Of grubbings from the
yarti previously mentioned, last season,
paid all expense of eultivating aud put
ting the hops Ia market,
Girls are employed in tying hops. at
from fifty cents 10 one dollar day. In
the picking season, they are paid fifty
cents box. Expert piekers average
two boxes per day, and upwards.

The residence in which she dweit from

fcer and Oyerstepped rules Of decorum
prescribed by the social habits Of the
South. The father wreaked terrible ven
geance upon him who destroyed the de-
lights Of his poverty home. and
while the people approved the deed, there
was bitterness insutferable in the cup Of
grief pressed to the bps Of the faulless
daughter The brother bore aecumu-

consolation and strength His sorrows

in an evil hour, he put a period 10 his
own existence. The sister lived ID
sOothe a father s0rr0Ws and tighten an
guish that almost dethroued his reason.
She was divinely inspired Her soft,
sweet voice never lost its tenderness, and
