STAR DEPTHS.

The mind of man utterly fails to
realize the immensity of space, and
no one unaecustOmed to the use Of the
telescope can have any adequate idea
of the difference presented by the na-
ked eye. even upon a clear night, and
the scene which IS disclosed to the eve
and mind Of the astronomer. How
difficult it is to realize that each star
in the solemn depths of the universe
is a sun like our own sun, but sepa-
rated one from each other and our
own by distances almost beyond the
power of man to compute.
Only about three thousand stars can
be distinctly seen and counted by the
naked eye, while an ordinary tele-
scope reveals the presence of some-
thing like three hundred and fifty
thousand. Herschel's great eighteen
inch instrument, it is estimated, shows
one hundred and eighty millions,
while the great Rose telescope, by
its vast penetrating power, is sup
posed to open up our vision to not less
than seven hundred millions. And
yet, when the whole heavens are
swept by this telescope we have only
penetrated a distance into space from
our stand point on this globe which,
when compared to the immensely be-
yond, is no more than the space Occu-
pied by the room where we write or
read, is to the immensIty of depth
penetrated by the last mentioned in
strument.

4 Lesson in Feeding Stnek.

A correspondent of the lEdipt
farmer having made the statement
that among the valuable lessons thai
the past winter had taught him in
feeding stock was the conviction that
he has heretofore "fed nearly double
the amount of hay needed" another
writer for the same paper comments
as follows on his remarks:
If feeders have learned, as many no
doubt have done, that it is better tO
feed less hay and substitute meal OF
some other concentrated food in place
of the nay withheld, then the lesson
will not be cOntTOveTted /; but if they
have been feeding too much hay to
| the stOck,-haye been giving much
more nutriment than was needed, lit
is quite another thing. I have learn
ed no such lesson. / have learned
| from the experience of Others) that
stock can be wintered-can be kept
alive-On much less hay than has
usually been fed to them.
When you want stock to grow du-
ring the winter, oxen to lay on fat,
COWS 10 give an abundant flow of
milk, you must give them something
TO do it with. Muscle, fat, milk, are
all in the feed given, be that grain or
hay 1t comes from no other source,
and can be obtained in no other way.
a certain amount of nutriment is re-
quired to support vitality in an ami
NAL. If you get growth, fat, or milk,
it must come from nutriment digested
and assimilated in excess. If you
desire rapid growth, much fat, or an
abundant flow of milk, you must feed
literally, and at the same time feed
such food as will keep all the organs
of the animal in a healthy, active
condition, that they may be enabled
TO digest and assimilate the greatest
possible amount of food. Milk pro-
ducers understand this well, and you
have not heard them say they have
learned to keep their cows on a small
amount of food.
They all feed shorts, and feed them
not to save hay, but to make their
cows eat more hay. Shorts are
healthy food, and promote the health
and activity of all the organs of diges-
ton and assimilation. and thus the
cow is enabled to convert more hay
into milk. L have been feeding cot
ton seed meal with the greatest salts
faction. 1t saved me no hay, but it
gave the cows a vOraciOus appetite,
and that appetite, created by healthy
digestion, converted large quantity
OF hay into milk.
My experience has taught me, and
last winter confirmed it, that the
profit in keeping stock comes from
the feed, digested and assimilated in
excess of what Is required to support
vitality and the more we can get a
single animal to digest and assimilate,
and therefore convert into the desired
product, the greater the profit.

OCTOBER'S SONG.


80 deep brown eyes, sang gay October.
deep brown eyes running over with glee
Blue eyes are pale. and gray eyes are sober
Bonny brown eyes are the eyes for me.
BLACK eyes shine in the glowing summel
With red OF rose and yellow Of corn;
But cold they close when the still late
silvery frost. creeps over the morn
HBlue eyes simmer with angel glances,
Like spring viOlets over the lea
But oh. my Grapes, my Wines, and my
What have angels in common with mes
$50, Gray Eyes What know ye of laughing
Giddy with glee from mere sunshine?
Go to your booksi What know We of quad-
ing
Lucfous juice from the riotous vinei
aAn the earth is full of frolieking;
Growing is overi harvest is done;
All the trees are ready for rollicking
Growing scarlet with rustical fun.
'Stay, Brown Eyes, in the purple weather,
Shall deck your brow. while gayly together
we two will wander to hearts content" !"
Thus October's wild voice was singing,
While on his pipe he cunningly played;
All the red woods with music were ringing
And Brown Eyes listened, with footsteps
stayed
Waited to hear the song beguiling.
Listened and laughed through the sunny
And earth and sky fell TO merry smiling,
As hand in hand they wandered away.

CnNFESSION OF CRIME.

MEMPHIS. Oct. 15.-Since the con-
fession of James Kenny, a nOtsd thief
now serving a term in the Tennessee
penitentiary, of his connection with
Billy Forester and others in the
SCOOTER diamond robbery st New Or
leans in 1851, Mr.. SCOOTER came here
and after consulting Chief of Police
Athey, he, with that officer, proceed
ed to Nashville, and after obtaining
an interview with Kenny, prevailed
upon him to make full confession.
That robbery was planned by Forres-
ter, Frank Dayne, alias Dago, who is
now in Jail at Jersey City, and Dave
Cummins. In order to draw the po-
lice from the scene of the robbery
they hired men to set steamboats, at
the landing on fire, by which the
magnificent steamers Thompson
Dean, Magenta and four others were
consumed. During the fire the rob-
berry was effected by which one hun
dTed thousand dollars worth of dias
monds We're obtained. After remain
ing quiet the spoils were divided,
and he and Forester came to this
city, where a portion were sold and
the remainder sent East. One large
stone was sold to Angelo Move, now
on trial here for robbing the Chief
of Police safe. Returning to Mem
phis, Schooler and the Chief found
Angeles pin put up as bail for his
brother, John Move. Seooler at
once recognized the stone, and soon
after several others were found and
identified, never having been re-
moved from the original settings.
In conversation with Athey, Kenny
said he was certain Forester MUIR
dered Nathan, but no one knew all
about it but FOrrerteT's wife, now in
Memphis, and she was too sly to give
Billy away.

The First Paner CnIInr.

Walter Hunt, who is said to be the
originator of the first successful paper
collars, was one of that useful race OF
inventors who seldom receive their
full reward. He had been expert
menting for ten years in machinery
for sewing purposes, and tits claimed
perfected an invention which, but for
his pecuniary enl would
have proved the first successful sew
ing machine. He was compelled to
abandon this field, however, and af-
ter obtaining some twenty patents for
new and useful inventions, he turned
! his attention to the manufacture of
collars and cuffs of paper. In 1854
he made his first collars. Having Sc
cured the aid of business men, who
saw a new and profitable trade in his
invention, he gradually got his collars
into market but the sale was slow.
L" wear collar made of paper was
regarded as sign of poverty, and
people ridiculed the idea of suhstitu-
ting paper for them. But Hunt was
confident that paper would triumph,
and persevered. His first collars we're
made of paper which was intended
for very different use. He tried
Bristol board, thick writing paper
parchment paper; but each one of
them was deficientin some quality
One would not resist perspiration
another would not fold over without
cracking still others were of a bad
color, and none were of sufficient
strength. He then tried pasting two
sheets Ofpaper together with a strip
of muslin between yet while this
answered in many respects, it did not
afford all the advantages he desired.
His friends became discouraged
with his long-continued and costly
experiments, and advised him to aban
den the idea and turn his attention
to something more feasible. But he
was confident that collars could be
made of paper and, as he could not
find the proper kind of paper in the
market, he determined on trying to
make it. He built a small rag engine
and made numerous samples of thick,
stTcng paper but, after spending a
large sum of money in this way, he
abandoned his attempt and returned
to the manufacture of what he called
clOth-lined paper. He perfected ma
chinery which Obviated all his diff
culties in pasting the cloth and pa
per together, and at length, after an
outlay of S10,000in experiments, his
efforts were crowned with success, !

could not be distinguished from linen |

This Is upon the basis of the census
OF 1870. Hitherto it has been custO-
mary to use the previous census in an
election which has occurred within
two years after the taking of the CEN
sus. In 1882, and again in 1852, this
was done, but by common consent a
different course seems to have been
agreed upon for the ensuing election.
We say it has been agreed upon, for
all the States have made nominations
In accordance with the new appor-
tiOnment.
This Will prove an advantage to the
Greeleyites, as they expect to get the
greater portion of their votes in the
south and West, where the new dis
trioution makes a larger increase than
at the North and East. II cannot be
said, therefore, that the friends of
General Grant have wrought this
change for their own benefit. They
can afford, however, to give the Fu-
slonists this advantage, and can beat
them. Indeed we believe we might
coneede them all the Southern States
with perfect safety for the re election
Of General Grant; for really we do not
see what Northern States Greeley is
likely to carry.

4 ReantifnI Rxneriment.

The following beautiful chemical
experiment, may be easily performed
to the great astonishment of a circle
at n tea parey. Take two or three
leaves of red cabbage, cut them into
small bits, put them into basin, and
pour pint of boiling water on them;
let it stand an hour, then pour it into
a decanter. 1t will be a fine blue
color. Then take four wine glasses /;
into one put six drops of strong vine
gar; into another six drops of solu
ton of soda into the third a strong
solution of alum, and let the fourth
remain empty. The glasses may b.
prepared some time before, and the
few drops of colorless liquid that
have been placed in them will not be
noticed. Fill up the glasses from the
decanter, and the liquid poured into
the glass containing the acid will be-
come a beautiful red; the glass con-
tanning the soda will become a
fine green; that poured into the emty
one will remain unchanged. By ad
ding little vinegar TO the green it
will Immediately change to red,
and, on adding a little solution of
soda to the red it will assume a fine
gree n, thus showing the action of
