An Eccentric Star.

The most singular fact connected
with the proper motion of the stars is
that one or two stars are flying through
space with such enormous rapidity that
the combined attraction of all the stars
visible with the telescope could never
stop them. This seems to be especially
tie case with small star. Invisible to
the naked eye, designated in astronom-
ical literature as "Groombridge, $780,
from the name of the astronomer who
motion of this star is about seven Sec
onds per year-the greatest known. It
was hence concluded that it must be
very near us, and number of astron-
omers have sought to determine it's par
allax, but have found it to be only
about tenth OF the second. It's ap-
parent motion in a y ear being twenty
times it's parallax, it moves at least sew
enty times the distance from the earth
to the sun In year, or Is, 100000 of
miles every day, and more than 200
miles every second. From what we
know of the distribution, masses and
number of stars, it seems probable
that the attraction OF all the bodies in
the universe can never stop this head
long speed, ner bring this star into any
orbit, and that consequently it will pass
through the universe and leave it en-
tirely III it's passage through infinite
space. II we had accurate observa-
tions Of the stars position 5000 or
1000 years ago, we could speak with
more certainty of it's destiny. We may
expect that our posterity Of a few thou
sand years hence will, by the aid Of the
observations and table we shall trans
nit to them, be able to come to def
mite conclusion respecting the age and
the structure of the universe.

ICE FOR DIPTHERIA.
The Disease Not Fatal i'm the Oneida Com.
munIty.

Since that dreadful disease, diptheria,
has made such fearful ravages in New
York, and is, indeed, obtaining foot
hold in Baltimore, it may not be out of
place at this time to call attention to a
recent letter, written by DR.. George
Cragin, of the Oneida Community,
which thus explains novel, but very
successful treatment of diptheria:
Recognizing as we do the spiritual ma
ture of disease, as well as it's physical
characteristics, our first efforts were to
arouse the spirit of the patient by means
of criticism to resist the power and
leaden influence of disease, which en-
veloped him like cloud, Supplying
and befogging every mental faculty and
effort of the will to repel the intruder.
The invariable effect of criticism was to
stir up the patient in mind and heart to
make stout defence against the attack,
to resist the influence of the disease
with might and main, and to throw him
into a sweat, thus at once relieving the
fever.
The next,thing was to prepare a
quantity of ice broken into smalls bits,
which could be easily taken into the
mouth, and swallowed or allowed to
melt, letting the piece slip as far back
as possible around the roots of the
tongue, tonsils, and upper part of the
throat. This application Of ice was
made every ten minutes, day and night,
until every vestige of the canker had
disappeared, and the inflammation had
subsidized. During the day the patients,
unless very sick, could help themselves
to the ice ii supply were placed at the
bedside, or near at hand; but during
the night watchers were required to
give the necessary lump of ice every
ten minutes, one nurse attending to
several patients. This course Of treat
ment was faithfully followed as long as
there were any traces of the disease
about, and although we had over sixty
cases during the fall and winter, and
many of them very severe, we lost not
single patient after adopting the ice
criticism treatment.
OF course the application of criticism
would be difficult, if not impossible,
under ordinary hospital routine Or pri-
vate practice, even if desired by the
patient, put the application of ice can be
made under any circumstances, and
there must be but few who cannot afford
few pounds of medicineso cheap, so
pure and SO powerful.
The efficacy of the ice treatment lies
in it's beng applied continuously until
every trace OF the fungus growth has
disappeared and the swelling and in
fammatOn have subsidized. Acids and
alkalies and fashionable gargles will, in
some measure, check the morbid growth,
but they cannot allay the fierce heat and
reduce the Inflammation of the swelled
throat. Ice will do both and not injure
the patient. Try it. -.-...

The Basque Dance.

A Spanish correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes: "Anything more
harmless, anything more proper or
stupid than the Basque dance as it is
performed by the boys and girls of
Ecndaye it never was my lot to see in
this sublunar world. A toothless old
man with ffeand tambourine constitutes
the whole orchestra His music is linz
tied to the two-in-one traditional notes
of the old Morisco tum-tum In come
and up step the dancers, not in couples
and not by invitation, but one by one,
motu oropYiO, the women with hand
kerchiefs tied turbanwise round their
heads, the men with their jackets loose,
thrown over their shoulders, and some
of them barefooted and brandishing a
stick. They go out as they come in
one by one, without order or consent,
no attempt at combination or figure, no
joining of hands, no bow or courtesy,
