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 teles-
cope could never stop them. This
seems to he especially the case with
small star, invisible to the naked
eye, designated in astronomical litera
ture as "GrOombridge, $780," from
the name of the astronomer who first
recorded it's position. The rate of
motion of this star is about seven
seconds per year = the greatest
known. 1t was hence concluded that
it must be very near us, and a num-
ber of astronomers have sought to de
termine its parallaX. but have found it
to be only about a tenth of second.
its apparent motion in a year being
seventy times its parallax, 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 200 miles every
second. From what we know of the
distribution, masses, and number Of
stars, it seems probable that the at
traction of all the bodies in the uni
verse can never stop the headlong
speed nor bring this star into any or
bit, and that consequently it will pass
through our universe, and leave 1t
entirely in its passage through inf
mite space. If we had accurate OBJ
seryations of the stars's position
three or four thousand years ago, we
could speak with more certainty Of
its destiny. We may expect that our
posterity of a few thousand years
hence will by the aid of the observa-
tions and tables we shall transmit to
them, be able to come to a definite
respecting theage and the
structure of the uniVerse.-Pr5.

A Dog Detective.

A wine merchant in the MOntmar-
tire { Paris quarter began to open his
shop one morning and was taking the
shutters into the cellar, when the
barking of his dog attracted his at
tention. He went back quickly, but
saw no one; but the intelligent ami
NAL sprang upon the counter and be
gan to scratch above the till. On
opening it, while the dog continued
to sniff and smell about it, growing
at times, it was found empty. The
dog seemed to strike the scent, fol
lowing it to the door, paused to in
vite his master to come on. He did
so, and after going short distance,
as if upon the scent of hare, the
animal led up to two small individ-
uals and began to bark loudly.
"These must be the thieves"
thought the merchant. PIN. ...+
He went toward them, calling a

French Juries and French Hus-
SEA hands.

From the n. Y. Times.
DIR. Due is French physician in
large practice. For some years he
has followed his profession with sue

confidence of large number of peo-
fple and he has amassed very suffi-

wealthy he has been accustomed for
some time to live in state of luxu-

DIR. Due married. The lady of his
choice was only seventeen. and sew
eral years younger than himself 1t
was a marriage Of affection, not Of
convenience, and all the circum
stances promised much future happi-
ness. This promise was justified bv
the event mp to very recent period.
Butin March last Dr. Due began to
suspect that his wife's conduct was
not quite so correct as, in his opinion,
wife's conduct ought to be. Pres
emily proofs came that his suspicious
were well founded He at once ex-
pressed his views very fully to the
lady, and scene Of repentance and
forgiveness followed But the peui-
tence was of too short duration. In
less than two months Mrs. Due be- +,
gan anew her old course, and now the
Doctor went upon fresh plan. He

and pleaded in extenuation that she
wanted divorce. In moment the
whole aspect of the case was changed.
The jury, who little before saw
nothing but conviction possible, now
found new light dawning on
them, and in a few minutes, without
leaving their box, they acquitted the
doctor, on the ground that the shoot

teresting to know whether those jury

case is one, which, ftaken as prece-

DIR. Due was tried was committed
with the most calm generalization.

CLOSE OF THE WAR.

The rebellion closed, leaving in its
wake broken hopes, blasted anticipa-
tions, ruined fortunes, desolated
homes, and thousands of dead and
wounded sOldiers-States discovered,
civil Governments dethroned, dis
cord in the place of order, and social
and political devastation. The sol
diers of its vast armies, victors for a
time on many fields, with a valor,
courage and discipline in a just cause
which would have earned for them
selves the praises of all men, stacked
their arms, parked their artillery,
turned over the public property to the
officers of the Union, and returned
to their homes, on their paroles of
honor, prisoners of war in a lost
cause.
Again: the rebellion closed with
the Union maintained in all its
strength and majesty, and with lib
erty preserved. The long years of
toll and taxation; of human patience
and human suffering; ofwar, bloody,
destructive war, shrouded in clouds
of bitter anguish, or lighted by the
torch of angry passions, were at last
rewarded by the return of peace. A
heroic people, that good government
might not perish from the earth, had
conquered the most formidable enc
my OF modern times, and that enemy
its own internal, domestic, home peo-
pie. The return of peace was hailed
as the return of only such peace
could be. with unspeakable joy, graft
tude and thanksgiving. The great
words OF the great President were
still lingering upon the tongues of
men, and ringing through the hearts
of all people. The British Parlia-
ment, and the British people caught
them up as they were caught up by

HIS FAME.

Who shall measure the usefulness
of the life of such a man, and who
shall hope to do his memory justice:
In the long range and course of time,
come what may--whether republic,
grounded on the immOvable fOunda-
ton of justice and freedom, approved
after long experience, and ages of hu-
man happiness as the best form of
human government, still standing;
or whether republic, torn into fac
tions, and rent by the mad ambition
of men, in ruins-this monument, an
enduring testimonial to the humble
life, the glorious deeds, and the shin
ing example of the great citizen and
martyr, will stand for the illumina-
tion of all men of every cline, ma
tionality, and condition, who in search
Of the highest aims and loftiest pur
poses of life shall come to this foun-
tain for inspiration and hope. Here
the humble may take new courage,
the proud learn humility, the ambi-
tious that the true way to greatness
lies through industry, integrity and
patriotism, and all men that only the
truly good can be truly great. In no
other country under the sun could
the obscure boy have found his way
through the long succession of mys-
terious and grave events to such EN-
inence and power; and where, and in
what land can one he found who
welded power with such grace, hu-
manity, and wisdom? The living as
sign him his proper place in the af-
fections of all men. POsterity, pro-
foundly moved by the simplicity of
his private life, elevated and enlight-
ened by the purity and splendOr of
his administration and public serv-
ices, can not fail to fix his place
among those who shall rank highest
in their yeneration. He has gone to
the armament of Washington, and
new light shines down upon his be
loved countrymen from the Ameri-
can constellation.

have no heart, even at this late
day, to speak of the sad event.
America is blackened with the crime
of assassination. Abraham Lincoln
is the martyr. Badges of mourning
covered the whole land; the very air
was heavy with sighs, aud nature
seemed to hang her head in sorrow.
Grief-deep, bitter grief--filed the
whole land, and malice at last, with
its victim before it, closed its re-
pentant lips and skulked away dis
armed and discomfitted forever. The
sad news of his death filed the
world with CONSERVATION. Condo
lence poured in upon our people from
every land and tongue. Distinctions
of nationality and all forms of
power forgetting animosities, oblitera-
ting all lines of separation, came to-
gether at the bier of Lincoln. Beau
tiful in life, comely in death, he was
amounted with the tears of all ma
tions.
His people took up his body, and a
funeral procession l.000 miles long
followed his remains to his old home.
Here his body lies under the trees
and amid the people who knew him
in poverty and hOnored him in OBJ
security, and here it will lie as long as
dust shall mark the spot where man
has fallen. The friends of his youth
ful manhood, and the children of
those who knew and loved him when
he was yet unknown to the world,
will stand, one generation after an
other, sentinels over his body. His
fame, breaking through the bounda-
ries of his State and nation, has gone
abroad over a boundless world and
will descend with the march of time
dowiffhe illimitable ages of the here
after.

LINCOLN.

Calm, selfpossessed, contempla-
tive by nature, his mind capable of
the deepest penetration, able to grasp
any proposition and to analyze every
element it contained; cautious, ia
king no position until every step
leading to it had been tested, meas
ured, and planted in its appro-
pirate place, but one resolved upon
not to be driven from it by open de-
nunciation or specious exposition; by
no means dogmatic, but exceedingly
tenacious of a conviction; shrewd in
discovering the weak parts Of an ar
gument, and capable of unraveling
the most complex sophistry; clear in
statement, powerful in argument, for
chile in illustration, bringing home to
the learned and the unlearned alike,
by reasoning the simplest and purest,
clear understanding of the subject
in debate; rich in rallery, prolific in
anecdote, fond of apothegm; in his
presence the pretender finding no
quarter and the pretense no mercy;
seeking no advantage, but hoping to
make the right appear to all men as
the right, by addressing himself to
the reason; the people who listened
lifted up and made to feel by his ap
peals to their understanding and
higher nature that they were part of
the country and rightfully RESPONSE
BILE for its laws and morals; with
humanity that included all raees and
nations; an honesty that extracted
praises from his adversary; touched
by the conviction that great wrong
was about being done, or moved by
the consciousness of impending evil
to his country, he ranked high above
the standard of ordinary debate, and
at times was truly eloquent.
He was man of great personal
courage, and so moulded by nature
as to endure any amount of physical
labor. His habits were unexception
ably good; he indulged IN none of
the vices of society, sometimes car
ried to extremes in public men. He
had no tastes that were not simple
and pure; he was born and lived
among the common people; he was of
them, and in deep sympathy with
them; he had no wishes, no ambi-
tions, to lead him away from or make
him forget their best interests; he
had seen nothing of the world out
side of his native land, and as he had
prospered, and grown into distinction
under its benign institutions, he
loved his country intensely, and
wished to see it strengthened and per-
petuated. Wholly unsuspecting, and
most indulgent of views and senti-
ments opposed to his own, he was
slow to believe that men could Sc
riously combine, and deliberately con-
spire by force of arms to destroy the
Union. With the greatest humility
and self-abnegation, he set out from
his home in February, 1861, to enter
upon the great work to which he had
been dedicated. His own parting
words will best express his feelings at
that moment:
"My friends, no one not in my po-
sition can realize the sadness 1 feel
