APPALLING DEPTHS OF SPACE.
Stellar Distances That Stun the Mind and
Battle Comprehension.
GLondon Daily Teleeraph.7


Sir Robert Ball, at the Royal Insti-
tuition on Saturday afternoon, delivered
the last of his lectures on astronomy.
He took for his subject "The Stars"
those orbs which, though appearing so
small to US, because of their immense
distance, are, in reality, great and
shining suns. Ii, he said, we were to
escape from the earth into space, the
moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and eventually
the sun would become invisible; but,
far as we are from the stars, they still
shine brightly to US. Many of these
stars are heavier than our sun. For
example, Mizar the middle star in the
tail of the Great Bear, is forty times as
heavy as the sun. To the naked eye
there are five or six thousands of these
heavenly bodies visible. In all prob
ability there are worlds revolving round
them.
Sixty-one Cygni is the nearest star to
US in this part of the sky. Alpha Gen.
tauri, in the constellation Centaur, in
the southern hemisphere, is the near
est of all the stars. The sun is long
way off, $4,000, 900 miles. Now, multi
ply this by 100000, and the result IS,
roughly speaking 20,Oo0,000,000, and
this is the distance we are from Alpha
Centauri. Take the speed of an elec-
trio current, which is nearly the
same as that of light, 10000 miles
per second-suppose message to be
sent at this speed from point on the
earth's surface, it would go seven
times around the earth in one second.
Again, let it be supposed that messages
were sent off to the different heavenly
bodies. To reach the moon at this
rate it would take about one second.
In eight minutes message would get
to the sun, and, allowing for couple
of minutes delay, one could send a
message to the sun and get an answer
all within twenty minutes. But to
reach Alpha Centauri it would take
three years; and as this is the nearest of
the stars; what time must it take to get
to the others? If, when Wellington
won the battle of Waterloo in 1915, the
news had been telegraphed off imme-
diately, there are some stars so remote
that it would not yet have reached
them. To 60 step further, if in 1866
the result of the Conquest had been
wired to some of these stars, the mes
sage would still be on its way. If the
tidiugs of the first Christmastide in
Bethlehem had been sent to the stars,
there are some orbs, situated in the
furthermost depths of space, which
could not receive the message for long
time yet.

The Country Editor.
TAtlanta Journal. |

In the course of an editorial on the
great Democratic victory Of last No
vember, the Richmond Christian Ad-
vocate says:
Mr.. Cleveland won because the coun-
try editor worked we'll the mute but
magnetic and mighty leverage that
lifts men.
The Journal has all along found
pleasure in yielding to the brethren of
the weekly press the amplest credit for
the telling work they did in the last,
as in previous campaigns, and we en-
dorse heartily the epigrammatic trib-
ute paid them by our Richmond con-
temporary.
The change in the nature of political
campaigns in recent years has given
the press steadily increasing power.
Formerly, it was the stump speaker
who reigned supreme. Now, it is the
newspaper and the political pamphlet
that turn the fortunes of the ballot box.
Especially since Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
vent in our politics have our national
contests been campaigns of education,
and in that work the newspaper has
been the principal factor. The daily
and periodical press has, of course,
been the fountainhead Of information,
but it has been through the country
weeklies that it has reached the people
and done its most effective work. For
that reason we say again, with our
Richmond contemporary, all honor to
the country editor!

DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT LIKES VINE.
Rather Peculiar Address to a Woman'i
Christian Temperance Union.
New York World.7

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott preached
before the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union at Plymouth Church
last night. The church contribution
for the evening was donated to the
temperance cause.
DR.. Abbott started out with the an
nouncement that he was opposed to
the efforts made by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union to have
prohibition liquor law placed upon
the statute books.
II am opposed he said, ito the
prohibition law because it is an ideal
law, and because the majority of our
people would not favor such an enact
ment. The few have not the right,
however good their intention, to i'm
pose upon the many.
ave must net put the temperance
question upon false basis" be added.
For myself, T like the taste of wine,
and really believe that glass of wine
with my dinner would be beneficial to
me. Neither do I believe that I have
the right to say that every moderate
drinker will die a drunkard, nor have I
the right to say to any man that he
shall not taste glass of wine or beer.
All alcoholic drinks are not poison. I
believe with ex-President Woolsey, of
Yale College, who said: If any man
dares to say to me I have no right to
drink will open bottle on the steps
of Centre church,
ION the o,her hand" continued DR..
Abbott, "wine for me would do others
more harm than all the good I would
gain by it. can not by any act of mine
help on the awful misery which liquor
brings to man. 1t does little good for
US to preach to the pew about temper
ance and then spread a half dozen
brands of wine at our New England
dinner. It is not wrong Of itself to
drink wine or beer. Ifit is, Christ would
never have made it, as he is said to have
done in the Scripture.
ITO say that there were two kinds of
wine, fermented and unfermented, and
that he made only the latter, is very
unscholarly staten ent. But liquor has
come to be the curse af our modern life
We have right to regulate its traffic
to-day; yes, to prohibit it. So has a
man right to catch and tame a wolf,
but he may not be able to do it. It
may not be wise to try it.
II am in favor of any temperance
law that the community in which
live favors. That is the only practical
ble law both for me and for the COM
munity. I am in favor, as the law is ir
this State, of selling liquor; We have
the right to limit the traffic to such
men. In this city, however, we have
met with poor success in picking out
such men. In Sweden they have a
law that none can make any profit
from selling intoxicating liquor. The
State itself has control Of the traffic.
am not so sure, however, that if this
same law were in force under the
present government of this city the
result would be the same"

he JUST MISSED HAYES.
Tho Long Shot Of Col. Phillips, Of Georgia
General Longstreet's Office.

An Atlanta special says: Rutherford
B. Hayes was at one time the target Of
Georgia Confederate. It was only by
scratch that his life was saved and
that the Ohio colonel afterward be-
came president.
The scene was on the Gouley river,
in West Virginia. The Georgian who
took aim was General William Phillips,
of Marietta, and the time was 1861.
For several days General Floyd had
been skirmishing with General Cox's
Ohio troops at the 'Hawk's Nest" q
picturesque cliff rising over 1000 feet
from the river road.
One fine morning General (then COL
oneD William Phillips heard a bugle
blast near the "Hawk's Nest" across
the river, and an Ohio colonel at the
head of his regiment rode out into the
river a good distance, as the rocks
shelved gradually.
Colonel Phillips selected a long-range
rifle from one Of his men, and, raising
his weapon, took deliberate aim at the
union officer. The distance was great,
but Phillips was fine shot, and at the
crack of the rifle plume from the Ohio
colonel's high hat futtered out into
the water, and the officer dashed up
the bank out of range.
In 1878 General Phillips was in WASH
ington and saw the president. He said
something about "Hawk's Nest" and
his aim at an Ohio colonel. President
Hayes frightened up and inquired into
the details. Then the president said
that he was the Ohio colonel whose
hat was grazed by Phillips bullet.
That night General Phillips toos tea at
the private family table of the Hayes
family.
1t is not generally known, but it is a
fact, that General Longstreet was Of
fered the portfolio of postmaster-gen-
eral in President Hayes cabinet. At
the last moment it was discovered that
General Longstreet was an enthusi-
astic Blaine man, and as Hayes want
ed John Sherman to be the nominee in
1880 the cabinet was recast and Col. D.
NJ. Key was appointed to represent the
ex-Confederates and General Long
street was sent as minister to Turkey.
General Longstreet tells this himself.

ling through your veins like wine.
Whether it is the exercise of scram-
bling over the rough ice or hegrandeur
of the scene, or both together, you do
not know, but you certainly do not feel
the cold at Niagara if you wrap up
moderately well and keep your feet
and ears we'll protected.
But if you are not cold there is an
appetizing odor of hot sausages and
steaming coffee coming from one of the
cabips-"hOT sAssjES"-is the way

COATED IN SILVER.
Then you climb back to the shore
and you find as you 60 that you and
everybody you meet are covered literal
ly from head to foot with silver mail
of ice. It is the spray from the falls
which has enveloped you and which
has frozen the moment it touches you.
Your mustache has turned white in an
instant, so has your hair and so have
your eyelasnes. The effect of these
moving figures clad in ice is exceeding
ly odd and picturesque.
THE FROST KING IN THE PARKS.
But who can describe the work of
the Frost King amid the trees and the
shrubbery along the shores above-the
wonderful Transformation which has
been wrought by the heavy coating of
frozen spray and ice, which completely
covers every tree and shrub and rock
and hillside.
Who can picture the weird, fantas-
tic, fairyland effects of acres of such
forests of dainty tracery? The ever
rising mist, the clouds of spray from
the Falls, have touched every exposed
object, freezing as they fell. The long
continued cold snap and the frequent
snowfalls have thickened this enamel
ling until the result is indescribatly
beautiful and picturesque. A drive
through Prospect Park, on the Ameri-
can side, across the Suspension Bridge
and through the Victoria Park, in Can
ada, is never ending series Of delight
full surprises.
The trees nearest the shore and most
exposed to the spray are so completely
covered that not a spot on trunk, or
branch, or leaf of the original tree is
visible. The sleety covering is not
transparent. The spray has frozen a
translucent white with q glaze of ice
over it, which sparkles in the sunlight
with prismatic effects, like millions
and millions of priceless gems. 1t is as
though each tree had been carved from
frozen snow and crusted with diamonds
and jewels by some workman of mar
vellous skill, who has followed all the
delicate traeery of the 1treein its, every
detail of leaf and bud.

WILL NOT BE BIG BARKEEPEE.
Mr. Il. S. Hill, of Anderson, Declines the
Appointment rendered by Governor
Tillman.
News and Courier.


ANDERSON, January 25.-On seeing
the statement in the The News and
Courier to-day to the effect that Gov
ernor Tillman had appointed Mr.. R..
S. Hill, of this city, State dispenser
under the Evans law, your correspond
ent called on Mr.. Hill to learn whether
he had been notified of the fact and
whether he would accept the appoint
ment.
Mr.. Hill stated that he had received
a communication from Secretary OF
State Tindal this evening informing
him that on having the inclosed bond
filled out and returned the Governor
would send him commission as State
dispenser. Mr.. Hill was very much
surprised that he should have been
selected for the position, as he was not
an applicant for it, and stated that he
would have to decline to accept it. He
expressed his appreciation ofthe COM
pliment to his business ability, know
ing the Office to be one Of great respon-
sibility and trust
Mr.. Hill's refusal is not surprise to
his friends. He could not accept the
appointment without serious sacrifice
of his large business interests. He is
president of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank and manager of the
Alliance store here, and has large mer-
camille interests in other portions Of
the State as we'll as in Georgia.
This makes the second appointment
rendered by Governor Tillman to an
Anderson man, both of which were re-
fused. The Governor rendered DR..
w. H. Nardin the superintendency OF
the Asylum some months since, but
the Doctor declined it.

THE FIGHT Is ON.
Chester Makes Up Case to Test the Dis
pensary Law,
TGreen Vile News.l

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 26.-The
first move in the dispensary fight was
made to-day when petition was read
before the supreme court for the issu-
ance of rule to require the town
council of Chester to show cause why
writ of mandamus should not issue re-
quiring them to grant liquor license
for one year to w. S. Hoover and
Groveschal & Co. The petition shows
that the council refused to grant Ii
censes for the full year because of the
passage of the dispensary law. They
issued a license for six months. The
petition alleges that the act of 1883
allowing the town council to grant
license to sell liquors is mandatory and
that the dispensary law is unconstitu-
tional for the following reasons: That
it is an act to raise revenue for the State
and shonlI have originated in theHouse
instead of the Senate; that the bill was
not read three times in the house; that
the subject to which the act relates is
not expressed in its title, as required by
the constitution; that it clothes the
governor of the State with power pro-
hibited by the constitution; that power
was never delegated by the people of
South Carolina to enter into mercantile
business to sell spirituous liquors for
the purpose of revenc.; that it was
never delegated to the State govern
ment to create a monopoly for itself in
the sale of liquors; that no power was
ever delegated to appropriate $4,000 to
carry on such business by the State.
The court granted the rule to show
cause why writ of mandamus should
not issue returnable April 18th.

LAMAR'S LASH.
How the Earnest .Southerner- -Floored
Zach Chandler.

The death of Justice Lamar has re-
called his well known devotion to the
confederacy, and his love for the leader
of the lost cause was productive Of one
of the most dramatic scenes in the his
tory of the Senate The Mexican pen
sion bill was under consideration and
an amendm 2nt pended extending its
provisions to all veterans irrespective
of their course in the war between the
States. It was near adoption. Con-
gress, it was said, could best show its
desire to forgive and forget by extend
ing the benefits of the measure to those
who had once borne arms against the
common country. The amendment
was near adoption when Senator Zach
Chandler came to his feet with a short
speech, in which he said that while in
the main he agreed to the general
tenor of the amendment, yet under its
provisions even JEFF Davis would be
restored to citizenship. "And," be
added, II am not prepared to go so far
as that"
Lamar arose. His intense excite
ment was evident. Between him ard
Chandler strong personal antagonism
existed. An outburst was expected and
it came.
"Mr. President" said the Mississip-
plan, with outstretched finger pointing
at his foeman, his tall form trembling
with emotion, but his voice bell-like in
its clearness and without culver in it..
When Prometheus lay bound to the
rock it was not the king Of beasts who
availed himself of his distress. It was
not any other of the nobler brutes of
the field or birds of the air. It was the
vulture, the scavenger of the animal
kingdom gluttoning upon carrion,
which preyed upon his vitals, knowing
that in a defenceless man, who could
move neither hand nor foot, he had
one into whose vitals he could dig his
beak."
He sat down amid stiffness so pro-
found that the rustic ofa paper sounded
harshly. Chandler was deadly pale.
Drops of perspiration stood upon his
forehead and be clinched the arm of his
chair until the strained wood creaked.
It was expected that he would reply.
Twice he half rose then sank back. He
did not reply.

Poor Poetry but Good Sense.

There is very little trouble
That happens US to-day;
It is the sorrows Of tomorrow
That drives our joys away.

And stew, and foam and fret,
For fear something may happen:
But it hasn't happened yet.

Who cried down by the sea;

Now this particular woman,
