SHOOTING STARS.


NJ. Silberman advances the following
curious hypothesis concerning these cos
mical bodies: The celestial spaces are
traversed in every direction by an i'm
mense number of comets, which are di-
vided by astronomers into two groups,
VIZ, those which move in the same
course as the planets direct, and those
equally numerous that move in the Old
posite direction retrograde Admitting
the results of observations of the direc-
ton of the shooting stars, and the re-
suits OF the works of many eminent as
tronomers, we are led to believe 1st
That there are streams or currents IF
shooting stars 5tnich produce movement
IN celestial bodies; these streams cores
pond and are dependent upon comets of
the first or direct order; I'd, streams of
shooting stars corresponding to comets
of the second order, and having for
their function the moderation of this
movement and transformation of the
force of rotation and propulsion into
heart.-,Scri6mer's Monthly.

TIE SCIENCE or SUCCESS.

1nefe is science winch IS surpassed
III moment by no one of the sciences, yet
which has no textbooks, or teachers
1t is the science of success And in the
nomenclature of this science there is
one term. of prime Importance, full
understanding of which is of inestima-
BILE value. 1t is tact No man, however
great his abilities, however stainless his
character, can afford to neglect or I'M
dervalue tact. You remember how
Macaulay's hero, William Ill, embar-
raeed himself and imperilled the cause
of constitutional liberty by his want of
this qaulity.
When he was setting out on his Irish
campaign, which was rendered immortal
by the battle of the Boyne, his brother-in-
law, Prince George of Denmark, pre-
sented himself for the purpose OF ac-
companying his majesty. The prince
had, at great expense, made preparation
for the journey, and had thus shown his
good viii. He was, also, as husband of
the heir apparent to the throne, the
most exalted subject in the realm. To
have treated him with courasy, to have
invited him to seat in tie royal ear
rage, would have made him friend for
life But the king, destitute of tact.
qua not do so (; nay, he did not, in ."
single instance, during the campaign,
recognize the presence or the existence
of the prince.
On the other hand, men, (but much
/ more often womn) of moderate abilities
have attained to eminent success by the
| possession of tact. We are unable to
/ see any proof of extraordinary ability on
/ the part of Aaron Burr No speech or
sentence of his has passed into history.
1t appears to us that he owed his career
very largely to the exercise of the quail
ity to which We have been abiding.
The greatest genius has an additional
guaranteed success in TIA possession of
tact, or what We may perhaps define as
genius applied to small things We
know of no person who exemplified this
truth more eminently than Napoleon.
His tact was wonderful as his genius.
He once was anxious to do n certain
thing which he knew would be criticised
and condemned by Paris. He ordered
the dome of the Hotel des Inyalides to
be gilded. Every one began to talk
about this achievement some disap-
proved, some applauded Meanwhile
the other design was effected without at
tractingany notice. On another occasion
he proposed to give Dumas. the en-
inent actor, the cross Of the legion Of
honor. But he felt that it would not
do, (and, by the. way. tact is derived
from the Latin word touch etymologi-
cally it is the power of ascertaining
things by the slightest and most sensi-
tive touch, and so, master of Europe

Baltimore Cattle Market.

BALTIMORE, September 19.-BEEF CAT.
TLE-The market this week opened with
a little better feeling than 1t exhibited
last week, but the heavy arrivals Of the
middle and lower grades weakened prices
OF that class oil stock, and they became
very dull and heavy, declining full 4c,
while the better grades, which are pro.
portionately scarce, maintained their for.
mer quotations. Much the larger part oil
the arrivals were thin Cattle, many OF
which were bought by Pennsylvania
dealers; some few car loads will be re.
shipped East, being left over, and'the bal.
anCe were all sold.
Prices to-day Tor Beef Cattle ranged as
follows: Best Beeves at So 25a7 90; that
generally rated first quality S. 00a6 90;
medium or good fair quality So 75a4 rs;
ordinary thin Steers, Oxen and Cows
50 75a3 rs; Inferior and lowest grades Of
Cattle 50 00a0 00-general average OF the
market to-day 81 rs; extreme range Of
prices 50 75a7 90. Most Of the sales were
from 81 % 10 S. 81 per 100 lbs. OF the

SHEEP AND LAMBs.-There has been a
very marked falling of in the arrivals Of
Sheep this week as compared with our
last report, and prices have in conse.
quence advanced, but only shade, there
being no Eastern or other outside demand
and our home butchers having during the
last few full markets pretty fairly sup.
piled themselves. We notice that good
fat Sheep are rather scarce and in good
demand, tops being readily taken as fast
as they arrive. We quote fair to good
Sheep at 44a5f cents, aud good to extra
