THE SUN.

In any reference to the physical
history of the sun, the stupendous
magnitude of its sphere must be kept
vividly present to the mind. With a
diameter 1O5 times longer than that of
the earth, the solar orb looks out into
space from a surface that is 10000
times larger than the one which the
earth enjoys. The bulk of the sun is
100000 times that of the earth. If
the surface of the sun were thin ex
ternal rind, OF shell, and the earth
were placed in the middle OF this hol
low sphere, not only would the moon
have space to circle in it's usual orbit
without ever getting outside the solar
shell, but there would be room also
for a second satellite, nearly as far
again as the moon, to accomplish
similar course The weight of the
sun is 100000 times the weight Of the
earth, or, in round numbers, 1000,
000, 900, 00,000,000,00 of tons. The
mean distance of the sun from the
earth is now 80 we'll ascertained.
through Investigations which have
been made in several distinct ways,
that there can scarcely be in the
estimate an error of 100000 miles
The distance, at the present time
given, is 92,SS5,000 miles. This meas
IRE is in itself so vast that, if any trav.
eler were to move at the rate of four
miles an hour for ten hours a day,
it would take him $500 years to reach
the sun. Sound would traverse the
interval il there were anything in
space capable of transmitting sonor-
Gus vibrations. in fourteen years, and
cannon ball sustaining it's initial
velocity throughout would do the
same thing in nine years. A curious
illustration, attributed to Prof. Men
denhall, is to the effect that an infant,
with an arm long enough when
stretched out from the earth to reach
the sun, would die of old age before
it could become conscious, through
the transmission of the nervous i'm
preston from the harfl to the brain.
that it had burned it's fingers.
In order that the earth thus NOV
ing round the sun with a chasm of
93,000,000 of miles intervening space
between them, may not be drawn to
the sun by the preponderant attrac-
tion of its 100000 times larger mass
it has to shoot forward in it's path
with momental velocity fifty times
more rapid than that of the swiftest
rife ball. But, in moving through
twenty miles of this onward path, the
earth is drawn out of a straight line
by something less than the eight
part of an inch. This deviation is
properly the source from which the
amount of the solar attraction has
been ascertained If the earth were
suddenly arrested in its onward
fight, and its momentum was in that
way destroyed, it would be drawn to
the sun. by the irresistible force of
its attraction. in four months, or in
the twenty seventh part of the time
which a cannon ball would take to
accomplish the same journey i Ed

AN APOLOGY FOR SLANG.

In slang humor or implied fun
satiie of some sort is more or less an
element. For example. when a gen
tleman who is inclined to talk some
what tediously upon subject which
he mas at heart, and on which his
hearers don't care to listen, is told to
hire n hail." he is generally able to
see some satire and the others some
fun in the recommendation. Slang
has in many cases, a pith and pun
gency which makes it not only par
donable but tolerat lie. 1t often ex
presses feeling, if not thought,
of the passing day, which could not
be so forcibly expressed-for the
day in any other praseology. 1t is
generally evanescent; but sometimes
It endures and becomes part of the
recognized vocabulary of language.
For example, the word mob was
originally slang. 1t is supposed to
be contraction the first syllable
of mobile vulgus, a scornful phrase
for the lowest order of common peo-
ple. Tandem, also, was originally a
slang word. 1t is Latin "at length"
but as applied to driving two horses
at length instead OF abreast, it is
lust such Latin as nunquam animus
for "never mind" Another slang
word, swell, meaning grand, fine,
pretentious, is now perceptibly pass
ing into the recognized vocabulary
of good usage. 1t is very con
venient and expressive word and is
now used by the best speakers OF
English without hesitation. 1t can
hardly fail to appear in 1.-The diction-
ary" of the next generation.

HOW PAPA SAYS 1T.

For the sake of convenience, we
will say the place was Amsterdam
and the street East Main. Ills the
hour of two in the afternoon, and a
number of guests were seated at the
dinner table of Mr.. b. Among the
number is Mr.. BIS little daughter,
aged five, and Rev. Mr.. X. At the re-
quest of Mr.. b. the reverend guest is
politely asked to say grace. That's
a pretty grace you said, Mr.. y" re-
marked the daughter, as the latter
finished, "but that amt the way papa
says it," "How does papa say it?''
asked the proud Mr.. ", expecting to
hear another of her bright replies for
which she, so her father averred, was
SO famous. YES" chimed in the rest
of the guests, 'tell us how papa says
grace" "Why, when he comes in to
dinner, he looks at the table and then
at mamma, and then says, We'll, this
is HI of a meal to set before
white man." Mr.: b. subsidized.
WATER SCARCE IN VENICE. "A curl
GUS feature of Venice is that while it
is built upon the water, there is no
other city in Europe in which water
is SO scarce Fresh water is brought
in boats from the River Brenta.
There are great cisterns or reservoirs
in which water is kept. These are
opened at certain hours of the day to
allow the inhabitants to supply them
selves. They carry the water away
in pals and jars, the old fashioned
way. Peddlers drive a fourishing
trade by selling drinking water
through the streets. At daylight in
the morning, all the day long, and
the last thing at night you hear the
water vender's song: "Acqua fresca.

Henderson Rogers, agent of the
State of Tennessee, arrived in Vernon
County Saturday night. Yesterday
he secured the services of "a constable,
to whom he gave his name as
Mayes, aud statsd that he
was deputy sheriff of his
county, IN Tennessee The two
went to the house of Kincade, about
FIVE miles from Walker, and arrested
him. The constable finding upon
examining the papers that the agents
name was not Mayes, but Rogers, re
fused to deliver to him. In the
meantime, the news of the object of
Rogers visit spread rapidly, and
about 200 citizens eongregated at the
depot, and firmly but quietly, re-
fused to allow Kincade to be taken
away by Rogers until the Governor
/ could be communicated with and the
matter fully presented to him.
Efforts have been made heretofore
to kidnap Kinoade, but the vigilance
of the people of Vernon County has
prevented their success.

SOME Of the more ignorant editors
Of Democratic newspapers are charg-
ing Shat President Garfield appointed
Stanley Matthews to the Supreme
Bench as a sop to Senator Sherman,
who desired to get him out Of his
way for a seat in the Senate The
fact is Senator Sherman was elected
to the Senate before General Garfield
became President, and therefore he
could appoint any one to the ST.
preme Bench. Nothing but their
inordinate love for SANDER could
;inpel men to make such extravagant
and untruthful charges. We have
never been an ardent admirer of
Judge Matthews political career. We
have regarded him as an unsafe and
unreliable political leader, But his
ability as a lawyer is Of the highest
character, as Is universally conceded,

Judge, and no one believes that Presi-
dent Garfield appointed him % the
result Of q decker between himself

ceiyed from prominent citizens Of
Walker asking the Governor to de-
lay the arrest until the facts in
the case could be laid before him,
Governor Crittenden telegraphed
back to turn Kincaide over 10 the

Representative Hall, of Vernon, and

The people of Tennessee will never
know the extent to which their mater
ial interests have suffered by the mis-
management of our State debt. That
the discussion growing out of it, and
the misrepresentation made by dem
agogues as to the ability Of the State,
upon which all the changes have been
rung With deyilish ingenuity, have
deferred immigration, there can
be no doubt. Thousands OF popu-
lation and millions of capitol that
would have been in our State now,
opening up and operating manufac-
tories, has been kept out by this
scare crow so industriously held
aloft by the demagogues whose vision
never reaches beyond self.
But this is not the grestest evil
that haze befallen us in this behalf.
The agitation Of this question, and
the manner of its agitation
has demoralizsd our own
people. The monster vice OF
reputation was seen and universally
hated once, but now, to our shame
be it said, hundreds of people are
ready to embrace it. Hundreds OF
others are unnamed, and are in
clined to give up under burden
which hey imagine is too heavy to
carry. Ii we had made up our minds
ten OF fifteen years ago to pay the
debt, we would not now seriously
feel it. If the Supreme Court de-
clares the 1908 bill to be legal, and
the people will aequiesce in it, as al
good citizens viii, the thing will be
forgotten in FIVE years.
