Our knowledge Of the Sun.

Our knowledge of the chemical nature
of the sun is now being as much advanced
by photography, for instance, as that de-
scriptive work of which /
wrote in the first instance,
which deals with the chronieling and To-
cation of the various phenomena, has, in
its turn, been advanced by the aid of
photography. The increased power in
this direction recently realized bv Dr..
Jansen, is one which was absolutely IN.
dreamed of only a few years ago. 1t is
now possible to record every change
which goes on, on the sun down to q
a region so small that one hardly likes to
challenge belief By mentioning it.
Changes under one second of angular
magni ude In the centre of the suns disk
can now be faithfully recorded and
watched from hour 10 hour; in other
words, chane es la cloEd regions 10 miles
square in a body 92,000,000 miles away
can now be chronicied. One Of the adj
vanfages which have come from the in
PRODUCTION of new apparatus has been the
possibility of making maps of the solar
lines and of the metallic lines which have
to be compared with them on a very
large scale. Thanks to the generosity
of Mr.. Rutherford. the distinguished
American astronomer, who is making the
most magnificent diffraction gratings
hich the world hiss ever seen, and who
is spreading them broadcast among work
ers in science, we have now easy means
of obtaining with inexpensive apparatus,
specti um of the sun, and of mapping it
on such g sczas-t that the fine line OF light
which is allowed to come through the slit
is drawn out into a band or spectrum
half furlong long. A complete spec

Labor.

Labor-honest labor-is mighty
and beautiful. Activity is the rul
ing element of life, and its highest
relish.-Luxuries and conquests are
the result of labor; we can imagine
nothing without it. The noblest
man of earth is he who puts his
hands cheerfully and proudly to
honest labor. Labor is a business
and ordinance of God. Suspend
labor, and where are the glory and
pomp of earth-the fruit, and phases,
and the fashionings of matter for
which men strive and war? Let
the labor scorner look to himself,
and learn what are the trophies.
From the crown of his head to the
sole of his foot, he is the debtor and
slave of toll The labor which he
scorns has tricked him into the
stature and appearance of a man.
Where gets he garmenting and equi
page? Let labor answer. Labor
which makes music in the mines,
and the fu-row, and the forge,-Oh,
scorn not labor, you, man. who new
err yet earned morsel OF bread ,
Labor pities you, proud fool, and
laughs you to scorn. You shall
pass to dust, forgotten; but labor
will live on forever, glorious in its
conquests and monuments.

We are surprised sometimes to
hear preachers object to the dis
cussion of religious and theological
questions by the secular press.
They might very well find fault
with the flippant filings some of the
woul6-be scientists make at chris
tianity, but in the opinion of many
the Church finds a very strong aux
iliary in the secular press as a
whole, especially in the country
press. The Church would make
but poor progress In enlightening,
civilizing and eyangellzing the
world, without the aid and influence
'of the secular press. The relig
ious ublications of the country
are not read by the masses, while
the secular papers are; and many
a man who never goes to church
even will read his secular papers
carefully or Sunday. The Church
could afford TO give up the secular
press just about as well as the
State could. Neither would make
the same progress without it. The
Church needs friends in all the de
partmenJs and industries of life,
and no one however humble or
whatsoever may be his avocation
should be prohibited from discuss
ing questions pertaining thereto.
The religious press have no bust
ness meddling with politics, because
their calling is higher and a holier
one, and besides, that field of useful
ness is amply and ably filed by the
secular press. On the other hand
the religious and theological field is
almost untouched by the religious
press. Not that the questions per-
tanning thereto are not ably and eX
haustIvely discussed, but they are
not discussed ia a practical nor at
tractive manner, and even were
they so discussed, and ever SO
ably, these publications, as before
stated, do not reach the people.
1t would be a fatal mistake for
the Church to prohibit the secular
press from discussing these ques-
tons. Rather let her use it, and
use it freely, to promote her inter
ests and that of her Master. These
remarks win apply equally well to
those fastidious gentlemen of the
cloth who decline to express an opin-
ion through reporter upon theo-
logical questions upon the ground
that secular papers have no business
meddling with such things.

Speaker Taliaferro.

The general discussion of finance
now going on called to mind a let
ter written us by the Hon. E. t.
Taliaferro of Pulaski, and publish
ed by US in September, 1S75.-We
have turned over our old flies for q
re perusal. We find that the letter
throws out the points and follows
the identical line of argument that
have been the inspiration of those
forensic efforts by which orators
have recently made themselves Sc
deservedly famous throughout the
republic. Mr.. Taliaferro showed
that our manufactures and indus
tries were Ear more successful IN
der an inflated than under a con-
tracted currency. He showed that
we had less circulation per sapita
than any of the other great nations
of the earth; that the national gov
eminent had ignored the interests
of the West and the South. that
contraction of the currency was on.
lv beneficial to the Bondholder,
Banker and Bullionist. He showed
that England had relieved her
people always from panics and
financial crises by a suspension OF
specie payment and imitation of pa
per money.

alton and into the future, with re-

Hendricks on Louisiana Troubles.

AT the Indiana State Democratic
Convention Gov. Hendricks spoke.
He made an orthodox exposition OF
the democratic financial policy, and
then calamity came to the defense
of Louisiana and the democratic
party as follows: One of the Lou
isiana criminals has been tried and
convicted. The President and John
Sherman say he should not have
been tried. His guilt and that OF
others is shown by the verdict. 1,
is high crime against the nation,
threatening the stability of free in
stitutions. What are the relations
between the President and Mr..
Sherman and the accused, that au.
throrize or permit an effort on
their part to influence judicial pro-
proceedings in State court? AT
ter long and terrible contest, it is
settled that State legislatures must
be free from military influence and
control. so alsoit must be under
stood that the President and his
Cabinet cannot directly or indirect
ly interfere with judicial proceed
ings under State authority. The
State courts must be wholly free
and independent of Federal con
troll, except where the Constitution
and laws give to the Federal judici-
sry an appellate supervision. 1t is
to be regretted that the facts devel-
oped upon the trial are of such a
character as to create anxiety on
the part OF the President and any
of his Cabinet, but they cannot
avoid the effect upon the public
mind of an exhibition of the ankle
ty and unseemly denunciations OF
the State authorities. Whilst il is
true that the title of Mr.. Hayes 10
the office of President, and that OF
Mr.. Wheeler to the office of Vice
President, has been settled under
the solemn forms of law, and
whilst it is our duty, IN my judge
ment to recognize the title, be-
cause it is in the interest of public
stability and tranquility to do so, IT
is none the less true that an impera-
tive duty demands that fitting pun
ishment should be visited upon the
public criminals, through whose ia
gitious crime that jugement was OBJ
tanned. Because a judgement is
final and conclusive, forms no reas-
on why immunity should not be Sc
cured To the criminal through whose
perjury it was obtained. II this is
true of simple property judgement
rendered in a court Of law. much
more is it true of a monstrous
crime against the elective sovereign
w OF nation. The very fact that
it was successful furnishes the
strongest reason why the condign
punishment of its perpetrators
should cover it with perpetual infa
my, and manifest to all future con.
spirators against the liberties of tho
nation, the danger Of attempting its
repetition.

For Darwin.

How true it is that we frequently
hunt all over the house for some
thing which is right under our nose.
For example-Mr. Darwin has been
going NJ and down .the world for
twenty years to discover human
being who had even a rudimentary
tail with which to supply bis miss
ing link between a man and a mon
key. II he should open his eyes to
the things that are going on imme
diately around him be would find
in every village gossips enough that
is, true, species of tale-bearers--to
put his theory on an evlasting foun-
da:ion. Il Mr.. Darwin is SO par
blind as not TO see this let him hunt
on eternally.

Now and Then.

1t is only now and then that such men
as Hon. Alex. III. Stephens, Ex-Gov.
Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Georgia,
endorse a medicine for the throat and
lungs, and when they do it is pretty
good evidence that the remedy must be
good for the cure of coughs, colds and
lung affections. They recommend the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their
testimonials are to be seen around the
ten cent sample bottles of the Globe
Flower Syrup, for sale by all druggists
in Pulaski. a sample bottle relieves
the worst cough, and will cure sore
throat. Regular size bottles. 80 dose

Col. S. A. Pointers Plan to Pay It.

To the Editor of the Herald and Mail.
At your request, | set forth the
following principles TO be advoca
ted in the coming canvass for Gov
ernor of Tennessee:
1st. That Tennesseans shall new
er be branded. as regulators.
End. That the funded debt of the
State shall be paid at fifty cents in
the dollar, ana no mans property
shall ever be taxed one cent for that
purpose.
Bird That we no longer intend to
talk about retrenehment and eeono-
my, but we are determined TO put it
into execution.
4th. That the debt OF the State
shall be paid by abolishing ali un-
necessary otfices-paylug~a stipula-
ted salary to every officer, and
turning all perquisites into the
State Treasury, thereby saving
more than a million dollars annual
ly.
9Th. That no more bills leading
to the accomplishment of this end
shall be pocketed, and none stolen
from the Legislature halls.
9th. That ii backed by a legisla
ture elected upon this platform, we
pledge ourselves and our estates
to run the State Government, and
educate every child in the State,
both white and black, with a direct
tax upon the property of her peo-
pie, not to exceed twenty cents,
after the present incumbents in Of
flee have retired.
7th. That the disgrace shall not
be handed down to our posterity /;
that we no longer intend to enrich
few individuals in office at the
cost of disgrace to ourselves, when
we know that the offices can be
filled with as good men, who can
make as good bonds as the present
incumbents, for much less than
half the money.
Sth. We propose to demonstrate
upon the stump that Under this
mode of administration-th whole
debt Compromised at fifty cents in
the dollar (can be paid both princi-
pal and interest, in much lesss than
twenty years.
9th. We are determined neUer to
repudiate, yet we never intend to go
to the poor house; politicians and
officers must live ON less.
In answer to several correspon
dents 1 will say that l never owned
bond in my life, and am not sure
that / ever saw one. When l had
money 1 loaned it to my friends.
If we follow the repudiationists, we
will be disgraced; if we follow the
high tax men, we will be ruined and
must go to the Poor House. We
simply ask our people to follow nei-
ther. Let us pay our office-hond
ers what their work is worth and no
more. Of you will excuse vul-
garism), will say we must take
the "bulI by the horns" and this is
the time. Your friend,
). a. POINTER.
