Mn, PRocroR, the eminent English as
tronomer, in lecture delivered in New
York last Thursday evening, gave his
audience some interesting comparisons to
aid their comprehension Of the size Of the
earth and the sun, the difficulty OF calcu-
latingth the distance between them, and the
extent oil the solar system. II the earth is
regarded as globe OF one inch diameter,
tho sun should be regarded as a globe OF
three yards diameter, and the distance be-
tween them 100 yards, The difficulty of
measuring the distance Of the earth from
the sun may be appreciated by snpposing
it were attempted to measure the distance
between these two globes by trianguladon
from the smaller one. One the same scale,
tho span OF the solar system would be
about lO3 miles. The illustration was
modified substantially thus: Let one
inch globe represent the sun, and by this
scale the earth should be represented by
tiny grain, l.lOo Of an inch In diameter,
the distance between them represented
by three yards, and the span Of the solar
system $50 yards.

well known that Grant was Democrat
before the war, and that he entered the
army as Democrat and fought as war
Democrat, and was talked OF as the Dem

therefore the Democrats ought not to OBJ

better than approve his candidacy, II he
