Pneumatic Tubes,


Governor Fenton has signed the bill
authorizing the formation OF Pneu-
matte Despatch Company ia this city
| for the transmission Of letters and
light merchandise. a pneumatic tube
was exhibited at the American InBif-
ture Fair last fall, and attracted much
attention. The method of propulsion is
very simple. A hollow tube is laid, a
car which exactly fits the bore is placed
at one end, and the air is then eEhaus
ted from the opposite end of the tube,
when the atmospheric pressure on the
car forces it through the tube. 1T is
said that cars can be safely run by this
method at the rate OF forty or fifty miles
an hour. The first lime viii be con-
structed Immediately, and If successful,
similar lines will be built to all parts Of
New York and Brooklyn for the trans
mission of letters and light packages.
A charter for a pneumatic railway
has been granted by the New Jersey
legislature, and it is expected that a
large tube viii soon be laid beuween
Jersey City and Newark for transmit
ting both light and heavy freight. If
this line should prove successful, the
company viii build passenger pneu-
matte railway through the state. This
system is a great Improvement over the
present railroads. A much higher rate
of speed can be obtained without dan
geEto life or limb, and it is claimed
that by THIS n10t1Od -5a7sa- -can- be run at
much less expense than at present.-LIS.

Mr. Chase's Views and Purposes.

Hon. Fl. 5. Bundy, has published a
card in which he states that at q recent
! interview with Mr.. Chase, that gentle-
man gave him explicitly to understand
that he was opposed to the impeach-
ment OF johnson and to the Congress
sional reconstruction policy. On the
subject of these disclosures the SRndus-
ky Register remarks:
Concerning Reconstruction and Im-
peachmeBt, Mr. Chase could entertain
the opinions he expressed to Mr.. Bum
dY without fOrKeiting the confidence OF
all Republicans in his political inlegri-
ty-althOugh these opioionS would ut
terly incapacitate him for leadership IN
the Republican party, Nnd would place
him in direct antagOnlsm TO the party
on two Of the leading issues. In other
words, had Mr.. Chase been content to
differ with his party un one or more
questions of policy, while remaining
true 10 its foundation principles and to
the great progressive movement Of
which it is the exponent, he could have
retained the respect and admiration Of
the millions who have. regarded him as
their worthy leader. But Mr.. Chase
has not been thus content. Ever since
it became obvious 10 him that Grant
would receive the nomination Of the
Republican party, the Cblef Justice has Z
Ia the dust AZ he feet of the Democratic 1
party asking and expecting TO Teceive 7
the Copperhead nOmiI alton on the ith I
of July. We have been slow to believe /
this, and the knowledge that it is so, /
fills as with sorrow. Our faith in human 4
nature has never before received so rude /
a shock. We have always known Sal
mon p. Chase to be an ambitious man,
but we believe he held his ambition
su bOrdinate 70 the cause he served.
We are now undeCeiYed. He holds self
a ab0ve every other consideration, Hnd,
as every such man must do he has fall
len.
In saying that Mr.. Chase expects and
would accept the Democratic n0mina-
tion, we speak from the most positive
knowledge. Every effort Of his old
friends and associates TO convince him
that the Copp5rhead politicians are in
sincere in their professions Of friend Z
ship for him, is entirely fruitless. His
ignorance Of men is his bane
now AS ever, and he is being lured to
MS ruin by the devices and hollow
promises of men whom he ought to
ipurn from his presence. It is with sad
ness we bid adieu to our once model \ I
but knowing with positive !
certainty that be has turned his back
IN the good cause, we are no longer
disposed to shield him with the mantle !
If charity. Adieu.

Origin of the Names for the Days
of the Week.


Most persons are familiar with the
facts in reference to the names Of the
days Of the week, and yet there may be
some who are not able to account for
the order in which they occur. st
The division of time into weeks was
probably first made by the Chaldeans /;
and the general order as adopted by
this ancient people, has existed to the
present time. 9 .1
According to the Ptolemaic system,
there are seven planets which revOlYe
around the earth 10 the following order
of distances, beginning at the most re-
mote-Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, SUM- VEN
us, Mercury, Moon.
The day baing divided into twenty
four hours, and each hour, by turns, be-
ing devoted in theory to one or another,
in regular order, Ofthe divinities which
ruled the planets, the present order OF
DAYS was necessary, III order to keep up
an uninterrupted succession.
Saturn, or Saturday, was the fTst day
of the week, the first hour Of which was
also devoted to Saturn, the second TO
Jupiter, the third to Mars, the fourth
to Sun, the fifth to Venus, the sixth TO
Mercury, and the seventh to Moon.
The eighth waB in regular succession
devoted to Saturn, so also the fifteenth
and the twenty-second the twenty
third to Jupiter, the twenty-fourth to
Mars and the first hour Of the second
day to Sun, hence the day is called sun
day. By continuing the same order
Sun answers to the eighth, fifteenth and
twenty second the tWenty-third IS
Venus, the twenty-tOurth Mercury, and
the first hour of the third day is Moon,
hence M0unday or Monday.
Moon answers TO the eighth, fifteenth
or twenty second hours; the twenty
third to saturn the tweuty-fOurth to
Jupiter the first hour OF the fourth
day is Mars-Sazon, Tuisco or Tig,
hence Tuesday.
The first hour of the fifth day by the
same succession, will be Mercury-SaX-
on. Wudeuo, hence Wednesday. The
order gives the first hour of the sixth
day to Jupiter, the Saxon Thor, hence
Thursday. Friday, likewise, gives its
first hour to Nenus-SaNOD, Erlgga.
These results may be conveniently
grouped in the following tabular form {;
Saturn. Jupiter, Mars, sun, Venus, Mercu-
T-HrM Moon.
