The Milky Way.

The milky way forms the grandest fea-
ture Of the armament. It completely encr
cles the whole fabric of the skies, and sends
its light down upon us, according to the best
observations, from no less than $4,000, 900
Of suns. These are planted at various dis
tances, too remote to be more than feebly
understood, but t!:eir light, the medium Of
measurment, requires for its transit to our
earth. periods ranging from ten to thousand
years. Such is the sum of the great truths
revealed to us by the two Herschcls, who,
with zeal which no obstacle could daunt,
have explored every part of the prodigious
circle. Sir William Herschel, after accom-
plishing his famous section, believed that he
had gagged the milky way to its lowest
depth, affirming that he could follow clus-
ter of stars with his telescope, conducted ex-
pressly for the investigation, as far back as
would require $50, 900 years for the traus-
mission of its light. But, presumptuous as
it may seem, we must be permitted to doubt
this assertion, as the same telescope, in the
same aster-hand, was not sufficiently power
full to resolve even the nebuluain Orion. Nor
must we forget that light, our only clew to
those unsearchable, regions expands and
decomposes in its progress; and coming from
a point so remote, it's radiant waves would
be dispersed in space. Thus the reflection
is forced upon us that new clusters and sys-
tens, whose beaming light will never reach
our earth, still throng beyond; and that,
though it is permitted to man to behold the
immensely, he shall never see the bounds Of
the creation.

An Extraordinary Man.

A Pennsylvania paper is responsible for
the following startling story: One of the
most extraordinary cases of peculiar forma-
ton in the human body we witnessed few
days since at Conncliy's Hotel, Mercer. in
the person of colored man. stranger. It
is hardly correct, perhaps, to call it case
of malformation, as the phenomena were en-
tirely INTERNAL the man presenting no unu-
sual appearance whatever. This person, by
some inward muscular power, which he can
not explain, can shift the position of his
heart at will We went to see him, not be-
lieving more than half that we had been told
but we're convinced in less time than is taken
to write it. He requested us to satisfy our
selves that his heart is in the position usual
ly occupied by that organ. Placing our
hand on his breast, we could feel the beat
ing distinctly. He then commenced a series
of contortions with his abdomen, rolling it
over and over several times At the con-
clusion of this striking exhibition, we placed
our hand upon a lump in his left side, be-
low the waist, and there was the heart
humping away as if nothing unusual was
the matter A few more contortions, aud
the frisky organ passed across the abdomen,
and on the right side kept up its work of
throwing the blood through the system, as
if in its natural position. More contortions,
and it travelled back home, its course being
easily traced under the skin till it passed
under the ribs. The man then commenced
a sort Of rotary motion of the bowels, appar-
emily turning them over several times, when
we felt complete set of ribs covering the
abdomen, the regular set being in their usu-
al place. Turning the bowels in the OPP
posite direction, the false ribs disappeared
On being asked if his parents had any more
children like him, he replied that he had a
brother over six feet high, who could reduce
his stature to something less than three feet
We believed him readily after having wit
messed the above performances.
Coon ADVICE. the installation Of a
Baptist minister. in Lower Canada, quite re-
Gently, the following advice was given to the
congregation. The reverend speaker said /:
"Dear brethren, I suggest that you pray
for your minister daily; guard his reputa-
ton carefully; hear him preach weekly /;
listen to the Word wakefully; labor with
him pathetically, both individually and col
lectiveiy; support the Sabbath School heart
lily; subscribe for him literally; pay him
promptly give him a bit of meat and a ball
Of butter occasionally call on him frequent
ly, but tarry briefly; greet him cordially,
but not rudcly-and may the God, Of all
grace bless you abundantly, and add unto
yon daily such as shall be saved eternally."

What the Bumbers did Booty of Immense
Value Dsc0yered-What will be Done
with it?

Since June, 1865, three large wooden
boxes, received at that time by the Treasury
Department, from the Provost Marshal Gen
eral Of the Army of the Tennessee, have lain
in the Treasury vaults. The boxes were
sent directly to the War Department; but
Stanton turned them over to Secretary Spin
ner. On Friday, at the instance Of a Uni.
ted States Senator---a portion Of whose con-
stituents were supposed to be interested in
the contents-the boxes were opened. A
joint order of the two Departments was is
sued to that effect The boxes we're found to
contain an exceedingly valuable invoice Of
diamonds, pearls necklaces, watches, ear
rings, brooches, rings, chains, seals, and
all manner Of rare and expensive jewelry to
the value of many thousands Of dollars. The
most valuable property, however. which the
boxes contained, was very large amount Of
solid silver ware, consisting of pitchers, sal
yers, spoons, knives, urns, cups and all
kinds of plate, some Of which was thought
to have been more than hundred years old.
One of the boxes contained some very rich
wearing apparel for ladies-silks, velvets,
!aces, &c-besides an incredible amount Of
Confederate notes and bonds, and notes Of
State banks. There was also small amount
of specie, both gold and silver. The boxes
were about the size of ordinary dry goods
boxes, and the value of their contents is va
riously estimated at from $40, 600 to $780,
600. Many Of the articles contained the fam
lily crests. initials or monograms of the own
ers, and all were of the finest and most cost
ly description. The valuables are supposed
to have been taken possession of by General
Sherman's men in Georgia and other States
where they had been abandoned by the fee
ing Inhabitants. In some cases they were
taken from banks which had ceased to do
business upon the approach of .the Federal
army.
1t is said the department officers are un-
certain as to how they shall dispose Of the
property. Some hold that it should be re-
turned, under proper restrictions and proof
to the owners, if they can be found Others
hold that the property belongs to the Gov
ernment In our view of the case the for
mer opinion is alone consistent with Justice
and dignity of the government. Nothing has
yet been done, and the valuables are returned
to the vaults of the Treasury.

How Small Expenditures Count.

Five cents each morning A mere trife
Thirty-fve cents per week. Not much, yet
it would buy coffee Or sugar for whole fam
lily, SIS, IS a year. And this amount in
vested in saving bank at the end Of each
year, and the interest thereon at six per cent
computed annually, would in twelve years
amount to more than 1870 Enough to buy
good farm in the West
Five cents before breakfast, dinner and
supper: you'd hardly miss it, yet tbs fifteen
cents a day; 81 ,05 per week. Enough to
buy wife or daughter dress. 81, go year
Enough to buy a small library of books
Invest this as before, and in twenty years
you would have over $4,000. Quite enough
to buy good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning; hardly worth
a second thought; yet with it you can buy
a paper of pins or spool Of thread. Seventy
cents per week; 'twould by several yards Of
muslin. $3.50 in one year Deposite this
amount as before, and you would have $1540
in twenty years; quite a snug little fortune,
Ten cents before each breakfast, dinner and
supper-thirty cents a day. 1t would buy
a book for the children. s2,10 week !;
enough to pay for years subscription to a
good newspaper. 81. 00,29 per year. With
it you could buy good melodeon on which
your wife Or daughter could produce sweet
music to pleasantly to while the evening
hours away. And this amount invested as
before, would in forty year, produce the de-
sirable amount, $4,000.
Boys, learn lesson. If you would be a
happy youth, lead a sober life, and be a
wealthy and influential man, instead of
squaudering your extra change, invest in a
library Or a savings bank.
If you would be a miserable youth, lead a
drunken life, abuse your children, grieve
your wife, be wretched and despicable be-
ing while you live, and finally 60 down to a
dishonored grave, take your extra change
and inves it in drinking saloon. -Lynch-

WHY DoN'T YOU LEARN TRADE TT

Why DoN'T YOU LEARN A TRADE This
question was pronounced in our hearing, a
few days since, to man who had been for
several months unsuccessfully seeking en-
ploymcnt as clerk Or salesman in some of
our leading houses. Complaining of his ill
luck, one of his friends, who knew he had
mechanical talent, but doubted whether he
could make himself useful either as clerk
or salesman, put the interrogatory to him
which we have placed as the caption of this
article The reply was, that trade was
not so respectable as mercantile occupa-
ton. Under this delusiye idea, our stores
are crowded with young men who have no
capacity for business, and who, because of the
fancied respectability of doing nothing, waste
away their minority upon salaries which can
not possibly iquidate their expenditures
Late, too late in life, they discover their
error, and before they reach the age of
thirty, many Of them look with envy upon
the thrifty mechanic, whom, in the days of
their boyhood, they were accustomed to
deride The false views of responsibility
which prevail in the soi-disant fashionable
society Of the present day have ruined thou

Pm DREAMING.

lam dreaming, fondly dreaming
OF the happy olden time,
When the moments were, in seeming,
Merry as Christmas chime;
When the days were not so dreary,
And sang with mirth and glee-
I'm dreaming, sadly dreaming
OF the joys they brought to me.
am dreaming, fondly dreaming
OF the friends of childhood's days
One with dark eyes all a-gleaming,
Sweet her artless winning ways;
One with orbs of Heavens own azure,
(Silken lashes veil the eye,)
Ringlets that outyie the golden
OF summer sunset sky.
I am dreaming, sadly dreaming,
OF the song my mother sung,
OF my noble angel-brother,
Up in heaven, ever young.
I am dreaming-but no longer
Must I, in the present, see
Flowers sweet that bloomed and faded
Pain and sadness yet to be.

SLIGHT M1srAKE.-lf you want to laugh
till the tears come. read the following de-
scription of phenomena observed at the re-
cent meteoric shower, copied from the WIN
sted Herald of May 10th. 1t is incredible
that the typos transpositions of two little
words could make well written article SO
utterly ridiculous:
''On the morning of the 18th inst, at
five, as went out to milk my COWS, I OBJ
served numerous shooting stars; and I coun-
ted, while milking six stars, more than one
hundred and twenty colos-some small with
short tail of light, and some large and bril-
liant, in stream of fire extending across
the heavens for perhaps thirty degrees"
Oh, mirabile dictu just think of a celes-
tial COW sweeping through the armament
with tail thirty degrees long! One is al
most persuaded that it Was-himself. who
while extracting that loctea bovuna from the
stars discovered this wonderful phenomenon
of literal milky acoy!

the importance of pruning newly planted

A MAD IloRsE-ANoTHER PHASE OF HY-
DRopuoBIA. The West Chester (Pa. Re
publican of Monday says: at e. ~
s'On Saturday last a horse owned by Sc
well Chambers, a colored man, living in
Thornbury township, was seized with hydro
phobia. The animal had been confined in a
field near Darlington's corner, but by some
means got out of the enclosure into the pub
lie road. It attacked team belonging to
William Farrell, who was engaged in haul
ing stone to the railroad. The driver of the
team succeeded in driving off the mad ami
NAL, and it is not believed that it injured
any of the horses attached to the team
When the fit was off, the poor brute would
become very weak, stagger, and fall When
the spasms returned, it would again rise, and
attack everything in its road. Several per-
sons were chased on to the tavern porch,
and one individual narrowly escaped being
bitten. In its rage to bite, its own tongue
was nearly bitten off The animal was final
ly secured in lot, where it died during the
night in great agony. It was valuable
horse, and was used by Mr.. Chambers iii
threshing grain, with a machine. through
the neighborhood What is still more ter
rible to contemplate is the fact that this
horse is supposed to have been bitten by a
dog belonging to Mr.. Elias Baker, that was
thought to be mad, and bit two persons
some three weeks since IAN account Of which
was published in this paper. This SUPPOSE
ton is strengthened by the fact that Mr.
Bakers dog bit two other dogs on the farm
of Mr. George Faucet where the horse
was kept. The dogs of Mr.. Faucet were
killed Immediately after. The two young
men who were bitten, as we'll as their i'm
mediate friends, are much distressed over
these facts; but it is hoped that the means
resorted to in their cases will prove effectual
