WE have had heavy and frequent rains
this season that our roads have been kept
in bad condition, the intervals between
showers hardly being sufficient to allow
the necessary repairs. Even the usual
scraping has, for the same reason, been
omitted. We are not disposed to be among
those who blame an over-worked and un:
paid Council for all the evils we suffer.
We ought to recognize the unselfishness
of men who give large portion of time
and energy to the public with no compen-
sation save the honor. which is of an un-
certain quantity if not altogether myth |;
but while not forgetting the many good
things for which we owe them gratitude,
we give voice to very general feeling
that too little attention has been paid to
our streets this season. 1t has been sup
posed that frequent and thorough scrap
ing was the cheapest and most efficient
method Of keeping them in order; that
when it has been well done our streets
have been in excellent condition For
some reason those in charge do not agree
with this opinion. Our streets have been
scraped very little, and they were never
in q worse condition. If scraping does
not pay we need to be convinced by argu-
ment in order to be happy and contented
with the present administration,ot otherwise
we should like change.

warner for Congress.

-r4--s Correspondence Oberiin News.l
On behalf of ofmyseh and many other Re
publicans, i desire to give briefly some
reasons for supporting Honorable 8. s.
Warner for the nomination to Congress:
he has always been, on principle, an
earnest and consistent Republican There
has been no weakness and no yacillation
in his support Of the great principles of
our party. He has been the staunch adyo-
cate, not only Of its grand, constitutional
doctrines, but also Of its declarations of
Opinion in favor of sound currency.
2 He has had large experience both as a
legislator and in the state administration.
He would begin service in Congress with
a good knowledge of public business.
8 He is capable, safe, and honorable
business man. We have reached a period,
where knowledge of business and capacity
for ii are more valuable in the service Of The
country than gifts of talk. The latter have
become in some cases positive hinder
ance to the advancement of the peoples

from all sides, and thus tends to con-
dense them into its immediate neighbor-
hood, as has been insisted on by Pisrce,
Proctor and others; but then, on the
other hand-a fact which these gentle
men seem to have overlooked-the
bodies thus drawn in move faster and
faster when nearing the sun, and this
tends to separate them; just as q process
sion OF carriages moving along an un-
even road are crowded together in all
the difficult and uphill parts where
they move slowly, and arc spread apart
where they go more rapidly. Thus
there is a more or less complete compen-
sation between the two actions, and the
suns attraction has very little if any eff
feet upon the number of particles to the
unit of space, but only accelerates
their speed. These particles are un-
doubtedly very minute. The es-
Inmates of Newcomb and Hardness
go to show that the majority of them are
probably smaller than a pins head. Now,
n haze consisting m rely of pins head
once in 250 miles Is not very obstructive
TO light; but it outs off something, and
when we take into count the immensity
of space, I for one am ready to admit
that the effect becon sensible in the
brightness of the more distant stars. The
idea Is borne out BY a well-ascertained
fact, which is this: The number of the
twelfth magnitude stars, while it is
greater than that of the eleventh, is not
so much greater rs we should expect,
according to the hypothesis of reasons
bly, uniform distribution Of stars in space
and aperfectly free Transmission of light.
Knowing that the average twelfth mag
nitude star gives about two and four
tenths less light than the average elev-
enth magnitude star (the eleventh bear
ing the same ratio to the brightness of
the tenth, and 50 on,) we can compute
how their numbers ought to compare.
When we do this we find q decided de-
fciency in the actual as compared with
the computed numbers of the fainter
stars, Just such as would follow from O
real haziness of space.
OF course If this Is so our visual
knowledge of the stellar universe is lin :.
tied, as to one looking out upon lane
scape through fog. OF the great be
yond we can neither affirm nor deny.
While we know no reasons for believing
its constitution different from that of the
cosmos around US, yet, on the other
hand, he would be very rash who should
undertake to assert that there is no diff
ference, and that the same regimen ex-
tends through all the material universe"

Is our Space Boundedi

Professor Young, of Princeton, in .
lecture before the American Institute OF
Christian Philosophy, says:
at is an interesting question whether
our space is bounded-whether we and
our earth and our stars are but portion
of hmitless region, peopled throughout
with stars, as our immediate neighbor-
hood is, and into which our vision pen
etrates indefinitely; or whether we live
in q colony by some means cut off and
separate from other space and systems.
In respect to this can only put before
you probabilities and not surely settled
facts. One thing, however. is demon
strable- If space were infinite and
uniformly starred, and If light
passed uuobstructed through this
space, then the whole nightly sky
would blaze like the MONDAY
sun; wherever one might look the
heavens would be full of uniform daz-
zling light. Since this is not the case, it
is quite sure that one of three hypothesis
must be admitted. Either our stellar
universe is not infinite, but we live in q
cutoff portion of space; or else space is
not anything like uniformly starred, or
else, finally, light fades out in travelling.
/ say one of the three hypothesis must
be admitted. but 1 do not mean that
either excludes the others. As to my
own opinion, If you care for it, it seems
to me quite certain that the last suppo-
sition Of the three must certainly be true.
Light is, and must be, obstructed TO
some extent in passing from one star to
another, because we have every reason
to believe that between the stars there
are considerable quantities of matter,
bodies which, when encountered by our
system, are recognized as comets and
meteors.
1--WE know but little, to be sure, as to
the amount and distribution of this mat
ter, because the particles never become
visible to us except when they strike our
atmosphere and are seen as shooting
stars. But their number Is very much
larger than we are apt to think-the es-
innate of Professor Newton, of Yale,
which believe to be substantially cor
rect, sets the total at about seven and q
half millions daily. This would put the
particles at distances from each other of
about 250 miles, on the average. OF
course, no one can say with certainty
that in interstellar space these particles
are as numerous as near the sum- j
think so, however, for the following rea-
sons: On the one hand, the attraction
of the sun undoubtedly draws them in

A Safe Robbed.
USTICE.

About noon, yesterday, the safe of
Messrs. Lang s. Pierce was robbed of $40 in
money and a check made by VIM. Vischer
on this bank for $40 payable to Lang &
Pierce or bearer. Two men were in, a
few days ago, looking at goods, and spent
considerable time, but purchased nothing,
saying that they would call again Tues
day of this week. One of the parties came,
as promised, and began to negotiate for
the same articles, and when he had decid-
ed to buy, at the last moment concluded
they were to small. Mr.. Lang, the only
one in the store at the time, stepped to the
head of the stairs, followed by his Gus
toner, but returned Immediately, and it is
was during his absence that the money
was taken. 1t is supposed his accomplice
was in waiting outside and visited the
safe during their absence. The man left
his purchase on the counter, saying he
would call again for it, but has not since
been seen. 1t is very easy to give advice
after the event; but we shall all probably
be reminded to keep our safe doors locked
during the day as we'll as in the night time.

American Postage Stamps,

The portrait of Benjamin Franklin on
the one-cent stamp, in imperial ultra
marine blue, is after profile bust OF
Rubricht. The head of Andrew Jack
son on the two-cent stamp, in vermil-
lion, is from bust by Hiram Powers.
The Washington head on the green
three-cent stamp is after Houdon's cele-
brated bust. The head on the five-cent
blue stamp is that of Zachary Taylor.
The Lincoln profile, in red, on the six
cent stamp, Is after bust by Volk. The
seven-cent stamp, in vermilion, gives
the head of Stanton after photograph.
The head of Jefferson on the ten-cent
stamp, in chocolate, is drawn from q
ife-size statue by Hiram Powers. The
portrait of Henry Clay, in neutral puf-
pie, on the twelve-cent stamp, Is after a
bust by Hart. The head of Webster on
the ffteep-cent stamp, in orange, Is af-
ter the Cievinger bust. The portrait Of
General Scott on the twenty -four cent
stamp, in purple, is after bust by COT
fee. The head Of Hamilton on the
thirty-cent stamp, in black, is after the
Cerrachi bust; and the portrait of Com
modore Oliver Hazard Perry, In car
mine, on the ninety-cent stamp, Is after
Wolcott's statue. The style in which
these adhesive stamps are printed, and
the clearhess of outline of the several
portraits, rs well as the artistic ercel-
lence of the engraving. reflects credit
on the head of the Post7office Depart
ment, Mr.. CreswelI, under whose au-
thority they were executed. The seven,
twelve and twenty-four-cent stamps
have been retired from use. The new

Unmusical People.

We have really very little idea of the
extent to which musical insensibility
prevails. We can not tell with any de-
gree of certainty whether one person in
five, or one in ten, or one in a hundred
is practically destitute of the musical
faculty. We have no means of ascer-
tanning the truth on the subject. If we
had, we should be probably startled.
We should find many facts which would
at first appear hardly credible. In an
ordinary Albert Hall assembly, for in
stance, we should, if we only had some
trustworthy test, find that no inconsid-
cradle number of persons composing it
not only derived no pleasure from the
finest music TO be heard there, but were
positively panied by 1t, and only sat
through the performance nnder the
compulsion of circumstances. Edwin,
who perceives that all the world affects
a musical enthusiasm, and knows that
Angelina has special craze upon the
subject, viii undergo any amount of
torture with q smiling face, and even
shout Justify for an encore rather than
have it suspected that he really feels a
strong inclination to howl like a dog at
every outburst of harmony. He knows
that In one of Angelina's favorite pas
sages in Shakespeare the great poet has
made Lorenzo declare that the man who
is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds is fit for treason, the motions of
his spirits are dull as night, his affec-
tions dark as Erebus. Let no suoh man
be trusted, says Lorenzo. In his inner
most heart Edwin may perhaps suspect
that Lorenzo was something of a. hum
bug, and merely gave utterance to what
he thought would be sure to please
girl who had just revealed special sus-
ceptibility of soul to the influence of
music. But not for the world would he
breathe any such suspicion. On the
contrary, he viii probably quote the
passage with hearty approval, and ap-
plaud vociferously even at moments of
supreme anguish rather than have it
supposed that he is being of this dark
and dangerous nature. 1t requires
some little fortitude of soul to
avow q strong repugnance to any
thing in which society generally re-
cognizes at once q means and an out
come of refinement. There have been
some equal TO such an avowal; but they
have been either below or above the or
dinary conventionalities of society"
At any rate, they have been outside such
conventionalities, like Voltaire, for in
stance, who always appeared to be put
in the worst possible mood by music,
however good, and who made no secret
of his strong aversion to it. Usually,
however, q person finding everybody
about him apparently capable of appre-
ciating music will naturally do his best
TO conceal his own private sentiment on
the subject, and win refrain from an ad-
mission which would at once relegate
him to the Goths and barbarians.-
