The Iniinity of Celestial Space.

When astronomers assure us that the
dameters of the circles which the planets
describe i'm their perpetual revolutions
around the sun are millions of miles, how
is it possible for the mind to take in an
idea of the space or room in which such
globes as those of eighty or ninety thous-
and miles in diameter are running thirty
times more rapidly than cannon-ball,
without the slightest interference with
others? Space without limit! There is
no boundary, no barrier, no precipitous
termination, but space forever and ever,
and there the intellect leaves the pursuit
the brain of man cannot grasp it.
But there is something more perplex1ng
i'm the belief that interminable space Is
filed with billions, ay, with countless Or
gained worlds, beyond all human COM
putation, far excelling our own in grand
IRE of proportions, physical resources
and beauty, SO immensely distant that no
telescope can ever survey those on the
nearest border of the celestial space
which they occupy; and yet still beyond
and beyond, so far that the light that
they send abroad, at the speed of one
hundred and ninety-one millions of milcs
| in one second, may not reach the earth
for Il hundred of million of year to come

Theirs on Napoleon.

''Thc death of the Emperor" said NJ.
Theirs, lis Il mortal blow to the Imperi-
alist party, and we shall presently see
some changes in their politics. You must
remember that NJ. Rouher was always at
variance in his mode of action with the
Emperor, but he is now likely to take
the course which his deceased master pur-
sued of late-that is, to act on the notion
of my preparing the way for him. The
Emperor said repeatedly that he could
not do anything at present, but was per-
fectly content with permitting ME to i'm
pose new taxes, producing the new bud
get, and reorganiZing and increasing the
strength of the army. Let it all be done
by NJ. Thiers,' the Emperor said. He
will do it much better than we can and
when he has done so much then we shall
see what we have to do This manner of
acting on the part of the Emperor was
well known to me, and | know also that
such method OF procedure was in perfect
accordance with his crooked ways. The
Emperor never possessed anything like
that which we call moral sense. The distinc-
| ton between right and wrong, justice and
injustice, was unknown to him. He
thought that to give people money was
the only lever to employ. The drawers
of his writing desk were always full of
money, which he distributed fIe ely to Wis
itOrs when he thought by SO doing to gain
a point. Having taken the money the re-
clplentS were, however, very apt to forget
the gift, and their demands for new gra-
tuities were neither few nor far be-
tween.
The Emperor succeeded in making HIM
self perfectly detested all through Europe
and in completely isOlating France. l
| told him several times what the policy of
France should be. We stood at the head
| of Europe. and we had only to keep every
| body else in antagOnism, SO as to preserve
to ourselves the role of arbitrator. 1t was
clear as possible that this should have
been our policy. But the Emperor never
pursued this course. Alter the Crimean
war he was perfect master of Europe.
| If he had done as proposed-nOt to him
personally, but to those who surrounded
him-to remain friends with England, to
show regard to Austria, and in that way
to remain the regulator of European
affairs, We should have held the balance
of European power in our hands. But
the Emperor did not take this course.
The little good relations we had with
England were simply purchased by the
Treaty OF Commerce, but with the rest
| of Europe we were in constant rivalry
and contention, and instead of being the
arbitrators, obeyed by every country in
Europe, we became the object of general
dislike; we became surrounded with Sc
cret foes; and the end was our late disas-
tiers. "-Payts cor. N. Y. Herald.
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1873-03-01
The Money Value Of Intelligence.

Every thoughtful man recognizes the
money value of intelligence in Il commune
ty. 1t is for this, in part, says the Coun-
try Gentleman that the State builds school
houses and furnishes free education to the
masses. ''Knowledgeis power;' even the
ignorant respect it, and pay it many an
involuntary compliment. The power con-
sists in the ability to better ones condi-
ton more rapidly; and in doing that
such are the relations of men to each 9TH
er-they usually benefit all around them.
The improvements on piece of real es-
tate do not affect the owner alone, but in
directly extend to the neighborhood, and
next find their way to the assessors books
and thus benefit the nation. Like the ripple
which pebble starts when thrown into
the water it spreads wider and WIDER
and though after awhile the visible effect
disappears, we know that it does affect
the whole body, no matter Row large.
So when something is added to the worlds
wealth, it benefits the whole world, al
though we may not be able to trace its
full effects.
When an enterprising man buys run
