OFseryatoric5 Devoted to Il Speciality.
Ia q lecture recently delivered before the
Scientific society Of Bainberg, Bavaria, Dr.
Hartuig, the director CT the now astronomi-
cal Observatory there slietched out the future
wor,; OF that institution. 1t was well, lie
said. that an observatory should devote itself
to some speciality, with which its name
should be associated; as that of Paris was
W th the discrimination and mapping of the
fixed stars; Greenwich, with the movements
of the moon; Vienna, with comets, and SO on.
IN q similar way Bambcrg would occupy Il
certain limited fed, and labor therein. In
the first place il would undertake the sys-
teriatic investigation of the parallaxes Of the
fixed stars, n work which had already been
partially performed at the Cape observatory
for the southern, and at New Haven in The
United States for the northern hemisphere.
Eamberg win lie provided with finch hell
ometer, the largest of its kind at present in the
world, although The Cape observatory Will
soon be provided with one of the same size.
Dr. Hartwig pointed out that at present
the parallaxcs of only eight or ten of the stars
were calculated, while about 5000 remained
to be done, and this, he said, would take
single qualified observer moro than thirty
years to accomplish. He hoped that as Leip-
sic and Gottinger were about to be provided
with heliometers, they would participate iii
the work, SO that in u comparatively short
time we may obtain Il more accurate notion
Of the distance of many Of the fixed stars aud
OF their grouping III space. Another work
which Damberg would undertake is the inves-

OLD JOHN BROWNS PLAN.

Tl,a: His Son Owen Says OF It-Cause Of
It's Failure.
Los Angeles county, which is more than
three-tifths the size of the state Of Massachu-
setts, is not only noted for the variety of its
products. the healthfulness of its climate and
the beauty OF its scenery, but it has attracted
numbers OF celebrities, many of whom have
remained to make it their home Among
others Los Angeles county has three Of the chill
drcn Of old John Brown as residents. "Oid Ossa-
wattomie" was the father Of twenty children,
end three of them, Owen, Jason and Ruth,
with Ruth's husband, named Thompson, have
located about twenty-five miles from here. l
was in that part Of the country not long since.
Owen is a man G2 years of age and has never
married. He is said to resemble his father,
has white hair, small eyes and a grizzly beard
covering all the lower part of his face. tie
dresses slouchy and either affects to be or IS
eccentric. He says he intends to build hlm
hut on the summit of one Of the mountains
where he expects TO pass the remainder OF his
days. He was with his father at Harper $
Ferry, but escaped with the party that go'
away. In conversation lie was GencT2liy
very communicative.
The apparent folly Of the attempt OF the
few men whom his father led at harpers
Ferry to Hberate the slaves being referred to,
he said: "l1y father certainly had noo!ea of
being either captured or killed. His plans are
not generally understood. If they were his
scheme would not seem foolish. He had
studied that whole region for years most care
fully. He was thorough mountaineer, and
he had learned ell about the Alleghenies.
There he intended to find retreats high up in
the mountains, where ten men were match
for q thousand Having many Of these places,
he would raid a settlement, carry OIL the ne
groes and retreat to the mountains. If pur-
sued, each fort would defend itself to the last,
then retreat TO the next, and believe that
100000 men could rot have overcome him,
oEce established as he planned. He did not
expect to destroy slavery ct once by gen
eral uprising; he sought to harass it, cripple
it--in short, TO make slavery SO Improbable
that it would be abandoned. Ho failed at the
beginning by staying too long at Harper's
Ferry."-California Cor. ST. Louis Rcpubli-
