There are supposed to be vast central
unseen planets, and yet totally dark.
Black suns, they may well be called.
Their existence IS revealed to us, and
we only know their places in the uni
verse, when they become luminous as
temporary stars, through the destruc-
tive ACKNOWLEDGMENT of some orb in
their own planetary family.
The twenty-three temporary stars,
then, indicate that twenty-three planets
have been destroyed in 1000 years.
Prof. Vaughan estimates the entire
number of primary and secondary
planets In the universe as equal to nalf
the population Of the globe. This would
make from 60O,O00,O0O to 700,0OO,OOO.
The average mortality of mankind is
believed to be one death a second. If
we regard the appearance of tenn
pOrary star as the record of the death
of planet, these facts enable us to
compare the length of human existence
with the duration of planetary life; and
1t appears, from such comparison,
that century is as small part of the
career OF planet as Two seconds are of
the life of man. The period embrace
ing the history Of the human race
hardly equals two minutes of the vast
age through which the earth will en-
dure from the beginning to the end; and
the observed facts of astronomy lead
Prof. Vaughan to believe that a posi-
bic age of five hundred billions of
years may be attained by world.
Ii seems most probable that when
the earth falls into the sun it will be in
the form Of ipnumerable meteoric
fragments rather than as one gigantic
meteor. AS the shower of terrestrial
matter rushes through the solar atmo-
sphere, the SUN will blaze out into a
glow such as astronomers have wit
messed and wondered at in remote
stars; and the earth will have passed
away, with no more effect on the in
habitants Of those distant orbs whence
the light may be viewed than similar
spectacles have produced on us.
The contemplation of fnality like
this, however far removed, naturally
leads to reflection upon the fate of
humanity which it involves. And the
thoughts thus induced are scarcely salts

anew. Some have attributed the origin
of the epidemic to the atmospheric
changes produced by the commissions of
the earth, combined with the decay of
organic matter,-the myrirds of locusts
and the unnumbered bodies of men
and animals.
Some have also attributed that fright
full epidemic to the then recorded ap-
proach of several planets of the sun.
Inasmuch as four planets enter the peri
helion IN 1881, we have at least this
similarity between the present time and
that dreadful period; and this circum-
stance, combined with the sudden out
break of the plague that is reported
from Europe, may give rise to the fears
that the coming planetary proximity to
the sun is perhaps to haye an evil i'm
port for poor humanity.

THOMAS LORD.
Death of the Husband Of the Celebrated
Mrs. Hicks.
New York Special

Mr. Thomas Lord, of this city, who
was married under peculiar circum-
stances at the beginning of last year to
Mrs. Emma Hicks, by Cardinal McClos-
key, died at midnight yesterday, at Mrs.
Hicks residence, on Fourteenth street,
where he has lived since his marriage.
Mr.. Lord was in his S5th year, and was
the sole survivor of three brothers.
Rufus l.. Lord, his elder brother, was a
man of marked business capacity, and
made a large fortune, the greater part
of which passed, under his will, to his
brother Thomas, whose first wife, Sis
ter of the late DR.. Henry J. Anderson,
of this city, was then living Shortly
before Mr.. Rufus Lords death he was
robbed of more than $1,OOO,O0O in Ex-
change place, the whole sum, however,
being eventually recovered through ne
gotiation with the thieves. By his first
wife Mr.. Thomas Lord leaves a family
of children, now grown up, and it will
be remembered that great opposition
was made by them to his marriage with
Mrs. Hicks. Matters were finally COM
promised through the efforts of the re-
spective counsel on both sides, without
edifying the country by the spectacle
of pendant to the now too famous
case of the Vanderbilt will. Mr.. Lord
has been of late on friendly terms with
his children, but he has died under the
exclusive care of his wife, who will
probably take whatever fortune may
still remain undisturbed.

Semi.ROyal Courts i'm Canada and India

The English newspapers have GER
tainly shown great forbearance (espec-
tally those social habits of the weekly
press in not ridieuling the failure to
establish a semi-royal court in Canada.
There is little doubt that the Marquis
Of Lorne and Princess Louise went out
under the understanding that they
were to establish court and have
something stylish. Mr.. M. D. Conway
says that Lord and Lady Lytton
went to India with similar instructions:
Lady Lytton issued circular COM
handing all to appear in the court
dress of England at her receptions.
The CONSERVATION in that warm region
was hardly less than in Arctic Canada
among the ladies. They were not, in
deed, SO much troubled about the low.
necked dresses; the costume of
native women in India has
familiarized the English eye out
there with dresses which the
London police would interfere with I'M
less the wearers were entering her Maj
esty's drawing but what the Eng
lish ladies in India rebelled against was
the expense. A great many of them
could not afford to buy fine dresses
which would be useless in ordinary
society. Even more did the gentlemen
dislike it. The result was that Lady
Lytton's first receptions were thinly
attended. Then possibly there was
passed around a whisper that modif-
cations would be allowed; at any rate,
[ am informed by a lady familiar with
society in India, that there soon came
an evening when Lady Lytton's re-
ceptions were crowded, and not COM
plete court dress was to be seen. Only
few uniforms to break the fall of
the new imperial order. These Incl
dents may be regarded as typical, and

War in South Africa.

A dispatch from Cape Town, via.
st. Vincent, February 10Th says:
On the 21st ult. a British column
consisting of portion Of the Oath regi-
ment a battery artillery and six hundred
native auxiliaries was utterly annihil-
ated near Lugala river by 10000 Zulus,
who captured valuable convoy of
102 wagons, one thousand oxen, can
non 400 shot and shell, one thousand
rifles, 100000 rounds of ammunition
10000 pounds weight of provisions and
the colors Of the Oath regiment. 1t is
estimated that 5000 Zulus were killed
and wounded in the battle.
Among the killed on the British side
are 2 majors, 4 captains, II lieutenants,
and quartermaster of the Oath regiment,
2 captains of the royal artillery, a col
onel, a captain, 4 lieutenants and SER
geant-mojor of engineers, besides 81
other British officers commanding ma
tive levies. Seven attacks were subse-
quently made by the Zulus and been
repulsed and the colony is somewhat
recovering from the utter CONSERVATION
which at first prevailed. Natal, how
ever, is in great danger, land disturbances
are feared in Pongolard. Lord Chelms-
ford, commander of the expedition has
been forced to retire in consequence Of
defeat. It is estimated that 500 soldiers
were killed, besids the officers enumer-
ated above. Gov. Sir Bartle Freezer
has sent an appeal to England and
Mouritus for reinforcements. The
mail steamer from England was dis
patched day earlier than usual with a
request for six regiments of infantry
and brigade of cavalry. The men-of-
war The Active and Ienedos have been
ashore: the Ie,aedos was seriously injur-
ed and obliged to go into dock at ST.

Twenty-four senators have been elect
ed, and only one is still to be chosen.
The retiring senators are seventeen re-
publicans and eight democrats; the
new senators, including one republican
yet to be chosen, are fourteen democrats
and eleven republicans. Twelve of the
democrats will be new to the senate, and
two are present members. Six of the
republicans are now in the senate, two
others have been members, two will
take their seats In the body for the
first time, and one is yet to be chosen.
The democrats gain seven SENATOR'S

gain one in Connecticut.
The new senate after the 18th of March

part that is lett Will haul OFT, as 1t were,
into space, to give rise to a similar
magnificent outburst some millions of
centuries later, when it again comes too
near.
It is worthy Of note that nothing
whatever is said as to the probable
effect of this gigantic CONFUSION of
nature upon life ON the earth. This
omission may be due to the fact
that mankind can hardly be said to
have vital present interest in the
event.
Just as a moon may fall into a planet,
so planet may fall into sun. The
chief difference is in the splendor of the
spectacle. Twenty-three temporary
stars have appeared in the heavens
within the last 1000 years-three of
them within the present century. What
has caused them to kindle in the sky
with sudden brilliancy, and then grow
dim and constantly decline in bright
ness? An obvious answer suggested by
the facts we have already considered.
The mysterious eHulgence which flash
es across the universe as the transitory
glory of q temporary star is the bale fire
of dying planet. But it may be asked
why have we not seen the star before?
1t is not strange that the planets of 9TH
er solar systems, which revolve around
stars as their own suns, should be invis-
IDLE to us here on the earth, since they
do not shine by their own light; but
ought not the stars themselves to be
seen, since we suppose them to resem-
bic our sun in character and constitu-
ton? The difficulty here presented
seems considerable, but it is simply met.
