AN ECCENTRIC STAR.-The most singular
fact connected with the proper motions 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 the case
with small star, invisible to the naked eye,
designated in astronomical literature as
:. Groomhridge, $780," from the name of the
astronomer who first recorded its position.
The rate OF motion of the star is about seven
seconds per year-the greatest known. 1t
was hence concluded that it must be very
near US, and number of astronomers have
sought TO determine its parallaX, but have
found it TO be only tenth of second.
Its apparent motion in year being seventy
times its paralax, it moves at least seventy
times the distance from the earth to the
Sun in year, or eighteen millions Of miles
every day, and more than two hundred
miles every second. From what we know
of the distribution, masses, and number of
the stars, it seems probable that the attrac.I
ton of all the bodies in the universe can
never stop this headlong speed nor bring
this star into an orbit, and that consequently
it will pass through our universe, and leave
it entirely in its passage through infinite
space. If We had accurate observations of
the stars position three or four thousand
years ago we could speak with more. GER
tainty Of its destiny. We may expect that
our posterity Of q few thousand years hence
will, by the aid of the observations and Ia
bles We shall transmit to them, be able TO
come TO a-definite conclusion respecting the
aye and the structure of tie universe

such, we take it, to have been the feelings OF
certain Eureka family when brief tele-

hurry on with our story, the old aunt, a
widow lady, died In London seized and pos

Her husband, who was very wealthy at the
time, departed this life many years ago.
The old lady hung on; like rich people gene

has finally gone to rest. Peace to her ashes.
She had four brothers, oil of whom have been

It's grand cash, and should serve to keep
