The Local Planets of the Period.
Our astronomical reporter has been
standing on the bluffs and looking
through glasses recently at the wonders
of the heavens. Many time and oft
has he turned up his glass heavenward,
and dropped it again as he beheld the
charming objects that sparkle in the
"spangled armament" Venus, that has
been missing from the evening sky for
nearly two hundred and two days, has
again become the peerless evening star,
and is oscillating towards her eastern
elongation, which bachanalian practice
she will continue until she hangs Ike q
golden lamp in the summer twilight of
the western sky. Our Congress has voted
Venus $4,000 as dowry. The Euro
pean governments have appropriated
large sums of money, because on the 9Th
of December next she will appear on the
suns disc as round black spot, for the
edifcation of astronomers who have To-
Gated themselves at different parts of
the world for the sole purpose of watch
ing this phenomenon. Jupiter, our late
evening contemporary, will conjunct with
the sun on the I'd OF August,
and will then start out as the
morning star. On the 18th of this
month, Venus and Jupiter will be in
conjunction, apparently being close to-
gether, but will give each other the go
by" without any collision. Saturn has
been of late the evening star, and can
yet be traced in the constellation Sagit-
tarius. Saturn is the political star OF
the day, having a number of rings
formed Of countless myriad of min
ute satellites and eight moons. Mars
will form straight line with Castor and
Pollux on the 18th of August, and in
September in the great race over the
celestial course viii overtake and pass
Jupiter-tbereby winning the race and
the stakes. Time, not as yet announced.
Mercury, the only other visible planet of
the system, our reporter insists, cannot
be seen during the present month-hav-
ing gone of to some ethereal springs,
but the fiery little planet viii be in con-
junction with Jupiter on the 10th of Au-
gust, yet will not be visible to even the
man who looks heavenward through any
number Of glasses.

AN etymologist named Brey has
hunted down Greeley's name to first
principles. He states that the prone
ness of languages is to abbreviate,
and gives many instances of English
names with theG heads or tails ampu-
tated; hence he suggests that one of the
ancestors of our future President must
have been distinguished farmer who
kept his fields fresh, blooming and green.
The word lea means field; hence
Green-lea-man, contracted to Green-lea,
softened to Greelea, and toned down to
Greeley, according to the custom of
dropping letter for the sake of brevity.
According to this rule Grant should be
brought down to Rant, and shortened
intosAnt, in order to properly name the
insignificant chap who figures at Long
Branch.
