We take from lie Moads de Ia .Scieacs the
following considerations OF the Stars" By
Professor J. Ninot: at is known tina. the
stars are true Guns, that some u them are
larger than our own sun, ard that around
these enormous centeTs of heat ard light
revolve planets on which life certainly
exists. Our sun is distant from US about
IS, 000, 900 leagues, but these stars are dis
tsnt at lest 500, 600 times as far-s distance
that in fact is incommensurale and
unimsginable for Us. Viewed with IN
unaided eve the stars and the planets lock
alike; that is, sppesr to have the
same diameter. But, viewed through
the telescope, while the planets
are seen TO possess clearly sp-
preciable diameters, the STARS are still daily
mere luminous points. The most powerful
of existing telescopes, that of Melbourne,
which msgniies 5000 tiues, gives Us an
image of one of our planets possessing an
apparent diameter of several degrees.
Jupiter, for instance, which, seen with the
naked eye, appears as star of the first
magnitude, with a diameter of i50 al the
most, will in this telescope have its diam
eter multiplied 5000 times, and will be
seen a. il it occupied in the heavens an
angle of 1902. Meanwhile star alopgside
of Jupiter, and which to the eye is as
bright as that planet, will still be a simple
oint. Nevertheless thststar
is thousands of times more voluminous than
the planet,

STILL THEY CONF.

Three days ago We published an &C.
count Of an interviewwith DR.. FELTON,, Of
Georgia, in which he declared that the
Democratic party in the South was going
to pieces, and that Grant, if n minated
could carry a msjority of the Southern
States. Now comes Judge Lochrane, of
Georgia, and gives his opinion to the
Chicago Tribune, On the same subject. He
shares in the opinion Of Dr.. FELTON, that the
Democratic party in the South is on the
eve of disintegration, sni that the people
of that part Of the Union are ripe for some
political change that will bring them into
harmony with the dominant party in the
North. He regards Gen. Grant as the only
man that could accomplish this, and thinks
Grant could carry every Southern State.

SEASlRLE GLIB.

As cur readers msy have seen from a
notice in this paper yesterday morning, q
number of young ladies Of Leavenworth,
who are entitled to all praise for their ex.
hibition OF good practical sense, have
organized q club for the purpose Of pro-
noting, among themselves, the art or
science Of cookery. 1t is very crafty ing to be
able to record the fact of the development
o. such spirit among our youna people,
and more gratifying TO know that it is not
confined to any one locality, but lie bscom-
ing general, throughout the United States.
Indeed, it has now come to be regarded as
athe thing" for young ladies in good socie-
ty to know how to cook, no less thsn TO
play or dance. And the growth Of this
spirit may be justly regarded as one OF the
best evidences Of our advance in civI ia
ton. The French people have long been
famous for the nicely of their skill in the
preparation of food; but the Saxon races,
for some reason or other, in the past have
not thought the natter worthy of the closest
attention. 1t il possible that the irdiffer-
ence might be traced 10 two csuses: First,
to the comparative grossness and heartiness
OF the Anglo Saxon appetite; and second,
in some measure, perhaps, to a conviction,
born Of religion, that it was wrong to ex-
pend 30 much time and effort upon the
pleasures Of the palate, wrong TO run any
risk of making god of the belly" We
have learned a great deal since such opin-
ions had prevalence. Not only has the
growth Of refinement created demand for
more delicate preparation Of food, but the
increase Of popular literature upon subjects
relating to health has tsugh. US that the
care Of the body lie high and important
duty, and that care of the food that enters,
strengthens and maintains the body is Of
the very first importance to its
health. We have come at last to
recognize the fact that cool cry
ia scierce, and that it may be elevated TO
the rank OF fine ar; and there is subject for
deep qualification that both here and in
Euglsnd cookery schools of an excellent
character have been opened, and have
found great favor with ladies Of the upper
classes. The good example set by the
young ladies of the club above referred to
should be followed by thousands of others
and no doubt Will be as soon as the girls
all learn that il is fashionable. 1t will be
good day for all Of US when the parlor
divides time with the kitchen.

General slckles's Daughter Eieped
With a Married Man

The New York STR has private tele.
gram from Paris which states that the
daughter of General Daniel f. Sickles has
eloped with an Englisbman named Nc
Carthy to London. Miss Sickles ia twenty.
six years of age and highly accomplished.
Her acquaintance with Mccarthy was
made several months ago, while she was
living in Paris with her step-mother and
step-sister. The affair eliminated when
Sickles arrived recently for the purpose of
bringing his family TO New York. Nc
Carthy is said to have a wife living and
his social connections are very fimsy in
deed. Alter the first shock of surprise
Sickles resolved to persue the pair. He left
for London, but on reaching that city all
trace of the fugitives was lost. Securing
detectives the father succeeded in discover
ing them and had them arrested. The af-
fair created quite a sensation in American
circles in Paris and London, where the
yourg lady was we'll known in society.

the Channel last Saturday, and the sea, by
way of showing attention to the diva,
became suddenly still on the occasion. 1t
is now six years Since she has been seen in
Paris, excepting as passing visitor. The
Parisians, therefore, are very anxious to
know whether or not she has changed since
they last saw her. No. che is the same.
The hardness of her mouth has, perhaps,
become q little more marked, and her chin
indicates more self-will than ever. The
charm of her smile and expression re-
mains az winning "a ever. La Patti is
very anxious about the reception the Par
issans will give her. "The noble fauI. ourg,"
she says, as still sspped BY the preihdices
sgainst artists" Her situation has become
very delicate and she has to stand on the
defensive. She thinks that she has been
spied and surveilled ever since her arrival
BY the family of Marquis de Cau1. In
signing a treaty with NJ. Merelli she
burned her chips. She is waiting for the
result. She seems TO count on success

he said tn me. Did you ace those id
traitors when you came in? I replied thu,

that. through the refusal of the New York

Coal Miners sill Out.

MAssILLoN, o, Nov. 90 The prospect
for a long and bitterly contested strike in
cresses daily. At the miners meeting held
at Clinton to-day, they decided TO demand
ninety five cents per ton, being an advance
Of ten cents over their previous meeting. A
resolution was also passed to have all fu-
ture disputes settled By board Of arbitra-
tors. The coal operators are firm in their
decision not to pay over eigh,y-fve cents
per ton for screened coal and If the miners
will not accept these terms they will let
their mines lie Idle. The railroad compa-
mics have ordered sill their coal cars from
the mines, which is proof that a general
suspension OF the coal traffic q expected.
