Some Facts About the Sun.

The sun is $4,000 times larger
than the earth. ~ a- Etaa.--
The sun is 400 times farther off
than the moon. @ ..'@.t
A lady who weighs 100 pounds
mere would weigh 2.7Oo pounds if
on the surface of the SUM-. 2
The heat given off by the sun
would melt 1872, 100000 cubic miles
of ice every second. ~ .-s
The diameter sof the earth bears
the same relation to it's distance
from the sun as the breadth of a
hair to 125 feet.
A railroad train travelling without
stops at the rate of forty miles an
hour would get to the sun in 263
years.
The sun is believed to become
some 25O feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be suffici-
ent to generate the enormous guam
tity of heat which it radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
metoric matter falling into the sun
may be its ailment to offset the
tremendous loss which combustion
certainly involves. .a.-
1t would require the combustion
of thirty feet of coal over the entire
surface of the sun every second to
generate the same heat.
The stars are supposed to aver
age larger than our sun, and to have
planetary systems like his.
The nearest star is 100000 times
as far off as our sun. eft r. .es
1t takes light eight minutes to
come from the sun, but it must have
required $4,000 years to come from
the farthest visible stars. aa
When eleven year storms on the
sun occur, the magnetic needle on
the earth is variable and sometimes
considerably detected.
The earth is flying around the sun
at the rate Of 1000 miles a minute.
The sun and all the stars are mov-
ing through space, accompanied by
their planetary systems, at rate
varying from twenty to two hundred
miles a second.
Some of the spots (craters) are
100000 miles in diameter, .and one
of then would easily swallow up the
whole of the planets, Jupiter him.

Maedler's curious and brilliant
speculation is that the star ,Aleyone |
is the central sun of our universe,
and that our sun and the visible |
stars are swinging around it in or
pits measured by millions of years.

A WARNING.

We desire to speak warning word to
our greenback friends of this Congress
ional district and of the counties of Ham
5len and Granger especially, and what
we say is said in no spirit of harsh crit
icism or unkindness, but for the COM
mon welfare of the people of this coun-
try.
A man by the name of Cooper, whence
he comes, whittier he goeth, in whose
interest he labors, we know not, but we
have heard that he is native of Illinois,
and for aught we know may be "wolf
in sleeps clothing" seeking the destruc-
ton of the Idea which our people most
cherish, has been making himself prom
inent in the counties of Hamblen and
( Granger propagating the principles of
the greenback party, so called, and seek
ing to divide our people by the creation
of third or greenback party. We have
no war to make on greenbacks. We are
for them, and our daily desire and night
ly prayer is for more of them ; but we
feel it our duty to warn our people
against any effort to create disscnsion
among and divide our greenback people
upon this subject. We are all for green
backs-no better greenback men are to
be found in the country than r. L. Tay-
Iof, pow a candidate for Congress, Henry
Patton, candidate for the Senate, and T.
C. Cain, candidate for Representative,
but if we have properly understood the
preaching of this false prophet, Mr..
Cooper, not satisfied with greenback
men in principle, he, in pursuance of
his plan of disorganization and destruc-
ton of the people, insists that third
men shall be placed in the field, who shall
be designated as greenback nominees.
The man is either knave or fool, or
is one of that unfortunate class of far
atics who strain at a gnat and then swal-
low camel, and don't know it. The
greenback convention which met at
Bulls Gap, on the 9th inst, recognizing
that Bob Taylor met all the demands and
requirements of the party, declined to
make a nomination. AT the dictatiOn of
Mr.. Cooper they held convention at
Turkeys Mill, on Saturday last. This
or a part of it, failed to act
with the discretion and sound judgment
which characterized the action of their
friends at Bulls Gap. Three delegates
put forward their nominee, the rest re-
fusing to take part in such action, stat
ing that Mr.. Cain was as good green
back man as was to be found.
Now, the question before the people
is this: Do you want to elect on the 9Th !
Of November men representing the |
Greenback principle? If so, vote for
Taylor and Cain. If not, vote against |
them. And we especially appeal to our
friends who have attached themselves
to greenback clubs net to throw away |
heir votes by casting them for the pre-
tended greenback nominee. Two men |
ire before you, one of whom will be |
elected to represent you in the Legisla-
.ure-T. g. Cain,-- greenback man in /
principle, and Benz. Smith, hard mon
~ man, contractionist and a resump
ionist in principle and by nomination.
Which will you have. Choose We be-
ween them, for no ether choice is of
erred. A word to the wise is sufficient.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The State elections in Iowa, Indiana,
West Virginia and Ohio occurred on the
9Th. Iowa and West Virginia, of course,
went republican and Democratic respec
lively by the usual majoTities. The big
fights were in Indiana and Ohio, where
the great unknown quantity was the
Greenback or National element. In
Ohio the Republicans elect their State
ticket by about 1O, 900 majority, but the
Democrats elect II out of the 90 Con-
gressmen. This is gain of three. In
Indiana the Democrats have gained q
great victory. They elect six out of the
thirteen Congressman, and the Nation
ais elect one. This is Democratic gain
of three Congressman. The Democrats
also have a majority of 8 on joint ballot
in the Legislature, which insures the re-
election of Voorhees, as United States
Senator.
The result on the whole, is encoura-
cling to the Democrats. 1t has also set
tied the fact that Ohio is Republican
and Indiana Democratic State and that
the Republicans will not be compelled to
take its next Presidential candidate from
Ohio
