SDaca in tI,e Universe,

The nearest OF the fixed stars is
twenty trillions (20,000,0O0, 100000 Of
miles distant from us. The next in dis
lance is four times farther removed. II
we attempt to fix an average distance
for the surrounding group of fixed stars
nearest our system, we could not safely
give it a radius of less than four hun
bred trillions of miles. Yet what does
this involve? Light, which reaches Us
from the sun in eight and a half min
utes, would take seventy years in its
journey across this vast domain of
space. If the volume of space included
within our solar system were occupied
with one huge sphere of 5,6OO,O0O,0OO
miles diameter. even such a mighty mass
would be but as a floating feather in the
marvellous spread of empty space sur
rounding. This space would contain
twenty-seven hundred trillions of such
spheres, and would contain the mater

Don't Use Bic Words.

In promulgating your esoteric cogita-
tions, or articulating superficial senti-
mentalities and philosophical or psyche
logical observations, beware of platitudi-
nous ponderosity. Let your conversation
possess a clarified conciseness, compactad
comprehensibleness, coalescent consist.
ency and a concatenated cogency. Els
chew all conglomerations of fatulen;
garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine
Alterations. Let your extemporaneous
descantings and unprecedented expa.
tiations have intelligibility and veracious
vivacity, without rhodomontade or thra-
sonical bombast. Sedulously avoid al,
polysyllabic profundity, pompous pro.
lixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial
verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity.
Shun double entendres, prurient iocosity
and pestiferous profanity, obscurant OF
apparent. In other words, talk plainly,
naturally, sensibly, truthfully, purely.
And don't use big words.

New YORK, April 3.-The attraction on
Wall street to-day was Northwestern COM
mon- II opened at 13411a and advanced
with hardly reaction to 1861. It was
very active and frightened up the situa-
tion considerably. The preferred did even
better, selling at 154, though the business
conferred in the common. Rochester
Pittsburg occupied the second place with
a rise to 227H. During the afternoon
Northwestern was purchased in large
amounts and touched 1881. One report
attributed the improvement to a state
ment that the surplus in the hands of the
treasurer was about $5,O0O,OOO and would
warrant the payment of something
extra in the way of dividend. st. Paul
was firm and sold at par. President Mitch
ell is credited with being q bull on the
property. The result of the Missouri Pa
cifc meeting was reelection iof the old
board. Oregon Transcontinental and Del
aware d Lackawanna, with the stocks
mentioned above, were the faYorites all
day, though nearly all look much better
than they did last evening. The
close was decidedly buoyant,
quite contrast from that of
yesterday. Money loaned at 10 per cent.
1t is stated on very good authority that
Lee, Higgerson & Co. sold 10000 shares of
Oregon Transcontinental last Thursday and
Friday. 1t is assumed that such sale
would not have been made without good
reason therefor. Bulls on the property
say that the statement OF the assets of
the Oregon TrauscontinentaI, soon to be
made public, will show holdings of Oregon
Navigation, Northern Pacific common,
Northern Pacific preferred and Transcon-
tinental, amounting in par value to about
$57,0OO,OOO.

Languages in India.

The number of spoken languages in
India is said to be 243, and, including
dialects, $40. TRANSACTIONS of the Bible.
or part of it, exist in about seventy or
eighty Of these languages and dialects,
but those who have a Christian litera-
ture are much fewer. Some half dozen
of the leading tongues Hindoo,
Bengal, Mahrati, Tamil and Telugu
possess a number of Christian volumes
of all sorts, the result of half century
or more of labor, but the rest are very
destitute, and q most formidable under
taking it Will be to make them anything
else. The English language ought to
be slmpifed and then made the ono
medium Of communication in all the
East. The rapidity with which its use is
growing in india under the present sys-
TEN of education in that tongue in both
Government and mission schools is a.
most startling. In the last twentv-tWo
years the Madras University alone has
examined about $4,000 candidates for
the matricuiation examination, all OF
them possessing fair knowledge of En-
glish. As many as 5000 or 10, 1000 can
didates so up now annually for this ex-
animation in three great universities OF
India, and English is the chief language
used. This stream of influence year by
year is telling very strongly upon the
country, more so than many suspect.
The Indian Mirror, native paper,
said the other day
Foreigners can hardly realize the
extent to which the English language is
spoken and written by the educated
Glasses in India, almost superseding in
some instances the use Of the yernacu-
lars. When educated Hindoos meet
they talk English when they write let
ters to each other, they show a decided
preference for the English"

The Mississippi River Landscape.

The Mississippi is not picturesque
stream below Cairo. There is a same
ness all along. The river is always
yellow, muddy, running swiftly, swirl
ing around bars, eating away, wherever
the current strikes, into the sandy,
shelving bank. Cottonwood, cedar and
willows stand up in the background OF
the dingy river landscape. Occasion
ally in the river are seen long, sandy
shoals, covered With wild geese. These
have sentinels posted cut, so that they
are very difficult to be approached by
sportsmen. They are, however, very
poor eating. 4 wild goose, arrived at
the age Of . years, can be boiled in
definitely without being reduced to an
e;;table condition. There are millions
OF dicls on the river, hat thev are very
poor eating. They have rank, coarse

late MINNEAPOLIS news.
MINNEAPOLIS ELECTION.

The Republicans Make a ToIerabIy Clean
Sweep-The Park Improvement Voted.
Yesterday was probably one of the quiet
est elections ever held in Minneapolis and
the result on the whole Is scored a victory
for the Republicans. The Waterloo was
in the First ward. where John L. Lee, the
regular Democratic nominee for alderman,
was defeated by Comstock, Republican.
Mr.. Lee was practically slaughtered IN the
house Of his friends. Up to yesterday
Democrats who c0utro! large followings
were supposed TO be laboring for his cleo
ton when IN reality they were setting a
trap for his downfall, and last night were
rejoicing IN their success. There
was no moro deserving candidate
on the entire city ticket than Mr.. Lee and
it certainly is greatly TO the loss of The
First ward that ne Is defeated.
For judge of the municipal court Mr.
Bailey. the Republican candidate, was
elected, while Stephen Mahoney, Demo
crat, carried away the special judge
ship.
TT. Buxton.t the time honored city treas
urer. was re elected with his usual big ma
iority. Buck never gets left.
Only three Democratic aldermen were
favored with majoriti9s: Hashow in the
Third, Walsh in the Sixth and Noremberg
in the Seventh, although Ed. Clement
polled well in the Fourth and only lacked
a few votes.
The Prohibitionists elected one alder
man, Albert Lawrence in the Eighth ward,
but otherwise polled an Insignificant vote.
The park system went through kiting and
Bill King was probably the happiest man
the city contained at midnight, but it is
reported he went home sober before day
break. He called On Nettleton, of the Tf'j-
be7le. at II o'clock and invited him down
to take drink with him, but the general
declined. There were TOO many specta-
tors.
The new city council will stand nine
Democrats to thirteen Republicans, but
with the mayors veto a check will be made
upon any improper measure.
