THE ALTERATION OF LIGHT.

Light travels with a velocity OF 1872 900
miles a second; and the earth moves
through space, in an elliptic path round
the sun, at the rate of about nineteen miles
a second, and is, therefore, changing the
direction Of the motion every instant, and
causing an apparent displacement Of all the
stars. This is called alteration. The effort
of this alteration is to distort the aspect of
the heavens causing all the stars to crowd,
rs it were, direct towards that point in the
heavens which is the vanishing point of all
lines parallel to that in which the earth is
for the moment moving. AS the earth
moves round the sun in the plane of the
elliptic, this point must lie in that plane 80
degrees in advance of the earth's longitude,
or 80 degrees behind the suns and thus
shifts continually, describing the circum-
ference of the elliptic tn a year. 1t is easy
to demonstrate that the effect on each par
ticular star, will be to make it apparently
describe a small ellipse in the heavens, hay
ing for its centre the point i'll which the star
would be seen if the earth was motionless.
Il is thus seen that alteration effects the
apparent right ascension and declination of
all the stars, and that by quantities which
may be. easily calculated.

ABSOLUTELY pure iron is said to have
been produced by a Russian chemist, by
means of the g%alvanic battery. During the
process a large quantity of hydrogen was
disengaeea from the ordinary iron used.
The pure iron is Il silver-white metal, very
malleable and ductile, apd SO soft as to be
readily cut with a paiR of scissors. 1t is
very different from iron which has hitherto
been supposed to be pure. 1t oxidizes very
rapidly. and water is decomposed by it by
the rapid absorption Of oxygen.

WATER-CHEMICAL AFFINITY,

The Maidstone, we are told, is no less SOL
uble in earth than In air. Placed, under a
glass with twice It's weight of lime it gradu-
ally melts and disappears, and there re.
mains four parts instead of three of perfect
ly dry earth under the glass. Of a I plaster
of Paris statue of five pounds, more than
one-ffth, is solified water. Even the precious
opal is but a mass of flint and water. OF
twelve hundred tons Of clay land. at least
our hundred are water. Water, indeed,
exists around us to an extent and under
conditions which escape the notice of hasty
observers.
When the dyer buys.ot the merchant one
hundred pounds each of alum, potash, and
soap, he obtains for his money no less than
foity-fve pounds of, water in the FIRST lot,
sixty-four in the second, and a quantity
sometimes amounting. to s%eventy-three
pounds in the third. Even the air we
breathe contains in ordinary weather, about
five grains OF water difused through each
cubic foot of its bulk; and thus rarified
water no more vets the air than the solid
water vets the lime of opal in which it is
absorbed.

Pen-PictureS of Senators.

/ [Col. A. X. Mcclure in Philadelphia Times
The notable feature of the senate
TO one who has been familiar " iih the

faces TO the extreme right of the chair.
There are Gordon aud Ransom and
Maxey and Morgan and Hill aud La
mar and Butler and Withers, all ex-
confederate chiefs, now legislating for
the government they rebelled against,
and they rival their opponents on the
opposite side of the chamber in con-
servative national views. The mag.
nctic men of the body evidently are
Blaine on the Republican side and
Gordon on the democratic side. Both
are OF the nervous temperament, gen.
lal in Intercourse, keen at repartee,

consider the vastaesS OF the country

Welded LIFE.
Advice to Il Newly Married Man
from al Experienced Benedict.

FRIEND -: 1t is to be presumed
that You have chosen a wife after ma.
ture reflection, and not alone from
selfish impulses, Nevertheless. d.
not imagine that YOU can possibly
have foreseen all the duties, RESPONSE
bilities, and even trials TO which mar.
ried life may render you liable. In
your intimate relationship and com.
partnership you and your wife will
appear to each other in an entirely
new light. You will find defects in
her, and she in you, which can only
be properly met by one course, and
that is, mutual Cancellation. Strive
to see which can exercise the greatest
leniency toward each other. The
secret of happiness in married life is
mutual confidence. Trust one another.
Have no secrets from one another.
BY all means, never call 10 third
party to interfere in any way in any
family jars. You will he more than
human if you and your wife can al
ways perfectly agree. but, while you
cannot prevent differences, you can
prevent any evil consequences arising
from them. II you have trouble keep
it to yourself and wife. Compromise
will SECURE you undoub;ed happiness.
by all means never allow aquarrel to
last over night. There is mischief in
brooding and pou'ing. Don't be
ashamed Of yielding when you are
sure you are in the right. There is
no sacrifice or seif-denial in yielding
only when you are in the wrong.
You must consult your wife's wnims
and caprices as well as her reasonable
desires. Mankind is generally gov
erned by the passions ; not by the
reason. There is no excuse for tramp
ling upon your wife's desires because
you think them unreasonable, WO-
men have at times the privilege of be-
ing unreasonable.
Avoid personal habits which are
offensive to your wife; or, if you can
not avoid them altogether, avoid them
in her presence. Keep clear of your
wife's relations, and have her keep
clear OF yours, in all business matters
if possible. If either Of you should
form antipatbies to the relations Of the
others, those antpatbies must be con-
suited, AID if not removed, must be
respected. or else your family jars
will be numerous and irreconcilabie.
Let your married life begin with
systematic frugality. Devote spe-
cihc proportion of your income to the
future of your family. Your savings
will in this way augment almost im-
perceptibiy, and place you above ash
ing favors.

isfactiOn written all over his by no
means strong face. Patterson comes
in with hurried, defiant step, his head
thrown back over the perpendicular

comfortbly stout, and waddes about

quiet. dignitied reserve well becomes
the sepate. a0d be is now one of the
leading party oracies in directing the
democratic side in oil emergencies.
Thurman is esteemed abler, but he is
sluggish and only once in a while is
great. He moves about lazilv and

wardly as well-to-do country farmer.

Live within your means, and no
body will know how much you have
ahead; but the moment Won borrow a
cent people will know bow poor you are.
Go 1t while You are young. The
duties OF a house and family will
come soon enough. Take it easy
while YOU may in your carly married
life.
BE patient, and wait and watch
and-pray. Just previous to the
birth Of your first child you will pos
sib'y find your wife fretful, cross,
peevish, pouty aud troublesome, Just
as rany good, kind, amiable, and
loving women have been before her.
If such should be the case, don't get
mad, don't expostulate, don't rebuke
or reproach her. The best thing YOU
can do is to grin and bear it. The
first smile Of the baby will stop it and
pay for all you have endured.
Don't think yourself immaculate
and set yourself up as a pattern for
your wife. Ii sbe wants to 90 to
