ASTRONOMICAL RESEARCH. = BY
means of the spectroscope and the pho
tograph the recesses of the celestial
world, millions of miles distant from
the earth, are brought within the grasp
ofthe astronomer for careful and minute
observation. Photographs show that
the nebula in Andromeda-a whirlpool
ofluminous matter-divided into dark
and bright rings surrounding q large,
underlined central mass, is a gigantic
solar system in the way of formation,
indicating a similar origin, on much
smaller scale, of our solar system. Pho
tographs of the Pleiadcs also show that
this cluster of suns is not an occasional
gathering. The stars are simply spots
upon which the diffuse nebulous matter
has agglomerated and condensed to
make new suns. The same is true of
the nebulae in Orion. 1t has likewise
been revealed that the nebula in Argus
has altered considerably in the last fifty
years. At place where Herschel saw
one one Gifts brightest parts there is
now dark, oval space. The matter
has either been drawn elsewhere or is
luminous no more. A new star in
Auriga, rapidly passing through series
of transformations, reveals the secret
of the birth of new suns. These dis
coveres demonstrate the continuous
life of nature, its constant change and
evolution.

HIS STRANGE REQUEsT.-A dispatch
from Charlottesville says:
The funeral and burial Of Major r..
C. Redmond took place at his country
residence c'Woodlands') Friday after
noon, conducted by Father McVey, OF
Staunton. Deceased was an officer in
Federal army, and at the close of the
war was for some time in command OF
a Pennsylvania regiment encamped in
Craven's Grove, near the city. He
was regarded as man of fine sense,
but very eccentric. Several very diff
cult surgical operations have been per
formed on him, the last one being the
amputation of leg ut the hip joint.
Just before the operation he wrote a
note to friend, from which the follow
ing extract is given: "They (the doc
tors) have come to the conclusion that if
I don't lose my leg I'll lose my life.
Please ask p (the undertaker) what
he charges for leg coffin. l think a
leg is entitled to burial, don't you?
and ought it, as the fourth part of the
body, have one-fourth of the funeral
service read over it? Tell me, my
dear u Just before the
operation was performed it is said
he requested that if he should die under
the ordeal the amputated member
should be buried with him-"that he
did not want to go hopping through
the next world OH one leg" In ac-
cordance with his wish, the missing
limb was taken up and reinterred with
the body on Friday.

NEW ELECTRICAL FAcrs.-In tn,

NEW ELECTRICAL FAcTs.-In the
realm of electricity recent investiga-
tons have confirmed the suspected con-
nection between electricity, magnetism,
light and radiant heat. They have
also given a new impulse to specula-
tons as to the structure of matter alto
gether and the modes of transmission
of energy. Prof Hertz, an eminent
German investigator, by an ingenious
contrivance termed rejecting board,
discovered that electrical waves are
transmitted through the air exactly as
luminous or sound vibrations are, and
that electricity is propagated like heat
and light at some measurable speed. In
his experiments the professor produced
discharges at the rate of 100000
times in second in order to measure
the distance at which electrical waves
followed each other. electromagnetic
waves act very much as light does,
some bodies transmitting and others re-
fleeing them. A plate of zinc acts upon
them as mirror and sends them back,
but they pass through wooden door
lust as light does through glass. 1t is
also probable that magnetism obeys in
its transmission the same laws as cleo
tricity, but that the direction of its Vi
brations is perpendicular to the line of
transmission of the electric waves.

THE VIRGINIA REPUBLICANs.-Ges-
terday was a day for the Virginans at
the republican national headquarters in
New York. As soon as Chairman Car
ter arrived he received delegation
consisting of II. De B. Clay, president
of the Virginia State League; Judge
Edmund Waddill, jr., Thomas c. Wal
ker, George L. Bowden, J. w. South
ward, A. w. Harris, w. III. Graveiy,
A. S. Asberry, A. S. Walker, j. Amber
Brooke, Z. II. Walker, w. {. Franklin
and j. w. CAST.
This delegation did not lift their siege
upon the ears of the committeeman un-
til three o'clock in the afternoon. Then
the majority of them took their depart
ure, and started for home last night.
The chairman, Mr.. Southwark, together
with Mr.. De B. Clay and Col. George L.
Bowdcn remained for another confer
ence at headquarters this evening.
Col. Bowden said that this year there
was measurable chance of carrying
the State. Virginia" he said, lis nat
urally republican, and, for the first time
in many years, the republicans are
thoroughly united and working in har-
mony." The doughty colonel repu
dated the bugbear of a dual republican
organization, which has been diligently
paraded in the democratic newspapers.

VIRGINIA NEWS.

A warrant was issued yesterday to j.
C. Caruthers, of Loudoun county, Tor
SIS, 653.31, the amount ofthe direct tax
due that county.
At the democratic congressional con-
vention for the fourth district, held at
Farmville last night, the Hon. James
F. Epes was renominated by acclama-
ton amidst wild enthusiasm.
Joseph L. Vandiver, an ex-confede-
rate soldier, died in Clarke county last
week. He was one of the leaders OF
the party that entered Cumberland,
Md, during the late war and captured
Generals Crook and Kelly.
The last weather crop bulletin has
the following to say of Virginia: Tenn
perature above and sunshine average;
rainfall local and badly distributed,
ranging from none to els inches, but
generally insufficient. Late corn, to-
bacco, and grasses and vegetables i'm
proved where rain fell.
A dispatch received at Richmond last
night from Blue Ridge Springs says that
Gov. Mckinney refuses to make known
what he proposes to do with reference
to the petition in his hands asking that
the sentence of death passed upon Tai
ton Hall, of Wise county, for murder,
be committed to Imprisonment for life.
Southside Virginia is suffering from
protracted drouth, and unless there is
an early fall of rain the loss to the farm
ers will be incalculable. In some sec
tons there has been no rain since the
LIST of July, and, as consequence, the
ground is hard and dry, and the crops
are suffering greatly for want OF proper
moisture.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun says: The Virginia State Dental
Association commenced its twenty-third
annual session at Rockbridge Alum
Springs yesterday. DIR. r. q. Heby,
of Danville, read Il paper on care ofthe
teeth from pathological standpoint.
1t was warmly received and drew out
several hours discussion from the mem
bers. Nearly everything of Importance
was postponed until to-day. The State
board of dental examiners met also.
There were two applicants for exami-
nation.

pauloyski, reached here last evening,
having aboard the captains and crews
of the scaling schooners Rosie, Olsen,
Arctic and Willie MCGOWAN, flying the
British flag, and the American schooner,
c. II. White. These schooners were
sealing off Copper Island during the
latter part of July, when the Russian
war ship Zabraka and the steamer
Kodiak, bearing the Governor of Ber-
ings Island, rounded them up one by
one, sent the schooners to be sold at
Potropaulovski and made the captains
and crews prisoners. The former claim
ed they were on free waters, wereupon
the marines pricked them with the
points of their bayonets and informed
them there was such a place as Siberia
for those who spoke too loudly of free
dom. The British and American skip
pers protested that they were outside
the three mile limit and were met with
the astounding information from the
officers of the Zebraka, RUSSIA is SOW
eign over the water a thousand miles
from her shores" The captain of the
Russian cruiser based his action on the
ground that Russia exercised jurisdic-
ton over all land and water westward
of the line of demarkation. The mas
ter of each schooner was ordered to sign
a paper acknowledging that he had been
sealing in Russian waters. They pro-
tested and were told that those who did
not sign wouldlbe sent 10 Vladivostock
to be court-martialed and then sent to
the Siberian mines. Upon compulsion
the captains signed. The Majestic sailed
at night, and the next morning the
Zabraka started out on another hunting
cruise.
