No Evil in the Stars.

We alluded not long since to the fears enter
tanned by some OF great disasters likely TO at
tend the perlhellon passage OF the four great
planets ABOUT to occur. These fears we at.
tempted To show were not only groundess, but
absurd, the failure of many similar predictions
having been cited in support OF this view Of The
matter. On the sneject of these threatened ills,
Z. Z. Blake, a wel-known American astronomer,
publishes long article in an Illinois paper in
which be demonstrates the influence of these
planets upon our earth TO be so infinitely small
that We need apprehend no maletic effects there
from. lie even shows the very data upon which
these alarming predictions are based TO be gross
ly and strangely inaccurate.
10 the lrst place, astronomers, in computing
the perlhellon Of Neptune differ as much as
seven years as to the time when that event will
occur. In regard to the perihelion of Uranus,
these authorities are not agreed whether it will
take place in 1881 or 1882. Saturn will not be
10 conJunton with the sun until the latter part
OF 1883, when the era of these dire calamities
will be past and over. Jupiter. the largest

A Virginia "Reminiscences.

II is related that while Thomas Mann Ran
dolph was Governor OF Virginia be was once
arrested within hundred yards Of his home, 10
this county, and carried prisoner to his own
house. The story is to the following effect :
The Governor was on visit 10 his home, aud
finding that the fenciug on his plantation was
pulled down and burned by wagouers passing
along from the valley to Richmond, he deter.
mined to detect and punish them. One even.
ing he observed party go into camp on the
roadside, aud after dark be strolled down to u
point where be could conveniently watch them
He staid out all night. but the wagouers made
no depredations on his fences. In the early
morning. however, when they we're about to
kindle the fires TO prepare breakfast, they started
out TO gather up what fuel they might find for
that purpose, when they spied man sitting on
the fence short distance ahead.
Now, it appears that short time before Gov
Randolph bad issued his proclamation. offering
a reward for the capture Of an escaped horse
thief and the wagoners, who had seen the de-
scrlption OF the convict, thought they discov-
cred close resemblance between the man on
the fence and the escaped felon. So thoroughly
satisfied were they that they would receive the
reward for his arrest that they approached aud
announced that he was their prisoner Oae 4

to give him tbrashing and let him 60 bu: his
companion protested that it was proper to ascer-
tain certainly whether he was the guilty party
before INJECTING the punishment. and proposed
to take him to the residence of Gov Randolph.
near by, and get his advice. Accordingly, they
marched their prisoner up to the house, and
knocking at the front door, a servant made his
appearance, OF whom they inquired:
Is your master at homeP'
The negro opened his eyes in establishment at
the inquiry, aud replied, pointing to the Gov.
erpor: !" That's master!"
It is said that the Governor then promptly
confirmed the statement of the servant, and
joined heartily in the laugh that followed. He
then told the man who had proposed TO whip
him without the opportunity of defense to re-
main outside and he would send him morning
dram. at the same time unbuttouiug his coal,
exposing pair OF horse pistols, and remarked
that be should certainly have used them had an
attempt been made to carry the threat Of casti-
