DISTANCE OF TIE STARS.

Astronomers have ascertained the dis.
tance from the earth of many of the
stars. If we measure these spaces by
miles, they amount 20 millions Of millions
still multiplied by millions, and hence
convey no adequate idea to. the mind,
therefore some other mode of measure.
ment must be used, and the velocity of
light is considered the most convenient
1t has been proved that light travels at
the rate of one hundred and ninety. two
thousand miles second, that is between
the ticks Of a watch ray of light would
move eight times around the globe. 1t
comes from the sun to us, a distance of
ninety millions Of miles, in eight minutes;
thus the space covered over by ray of
light in that time could not be travelled
by our express trains in less than two
hundred and fifty years.
With this immense velocity it requires
three and half years for the light of the
nearest star to reach our earth. 1t re.
quires forty-six years for light to reach
us from the North star, and tonight as
We look at the northern lumirary these
very rays Of light which make it visible
to us, started on their journey forty six
years ago. The light from stars of the
twelfth magnitude require three thousand
and five hundred years to reach the earth.
And if that beautiful constellation of the
Pleiades were this moment blotted out of
existence, it would continue to be visible
for seven hundred years to come, for such
is the time required for light to travel
from that group to us. If star of the
twelfth magnitude were now destroyed
it would continue to be visible for three
thousand five hundred years. Or, if such
star were now created, three thousand
five hundred years would elapse before
it would be perceptible to the inhabitants
of the earth. And some Of the more dis.
tant stars are so far away that their light,
moving with velocity of one hundred
and ninety.two thousand miles second,
requires fifty thousand years to reach our
eyes. These great distances are not i'm.
aginary, but astronomers have ascertained
the distance, motions and sizes, and
even the weights of the celestial orbs
with as much certainty as they have
foretold eclipses Of the sun and moon.

WHAT EX-SENATOR SIMON CAM.
ERON SAYS OF THE SOUTH
IN. Y. Post April 3d.

Simon Cameron talked yesterday with
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times about his Southern trip and poll
tics in general. Undoubtedly, he said,
"the South is making rapid progress and
is not behind the times. There are
places where change is unknown, but
those are dead places. The increase OF
the general wealth of the South since the
war greatly exceeds the loss sustained by
the liberation of the slaves, and this in.
crease is the result of the development of
the white peoples energies and talents,
" - before kto war had lain dormant.
The exercise Of these has opened ore
mines, great coal fields, established in
dustries of all kinds, and is enabling the
South to use up in its own manufactures
the cotton grown by it. The Northern
capitalist and workman find ready fields
OF operation, the one for investment,
which bring speedy returns, and the
other FOR his skill, which is we'll paid.
Sectional feeling is dying away and
Northern people are well received, es.
pecially those who come there to stay
and bring wealth. Why, yes, life and
property, so far as can see, are secure
in the South. Disorder sometimes pre-.
walls elsewhere than in the South" As
to Secretary Lincoln's prominence as a
candidate for Vice. President, he said:
"1f l had anything to say about it,
would say to him, Refuse it. To be
elected Vice. President means to arouse
jealousies and envy against him, some.
thing that does not now exist. He is
too young now for the Presidency, but if
he would but wait a few years, the peo-
pie would quietly elevate him to the
chair. Blaine's haste in his Presidential
aspiration defeated his chances for that
high gift of the people, and if Lincoln
accepts the nomination for Vice Presi
dent be will never become President.
If he waits awhile, he will some day fill
his fathers high place in the Govern.
ment."
