II was once believed by some as
ironomers that the entire starry uni
verse revolved around a center OF at
traction. and the star named Alcyone.
in the beautiful group OF the Plelades,
was selected by the German astrono-
med Maedler as marking that great
center IL has long been known, how
ever, that Maedler's conclusion. which
was based on the apparent motions Of
the stars, was incorrect. and IL aiiy
universal center exists, It has not yet
been discovered In fast. many stars
seem TO be moving in straight lines.
some I'm one direction and some in an
other; and among these is our own
sun. But it is possible that further
observations will show that all the
stars are really moving In curved
lines. In the meantime Il has been
found that there are certain crops. or
sets, of stars which appear to travel
together. To what set. IL any. the sun
belongs, we do not yet know. but quite
lately Monsieur Delaney has pre-
sented before the Academy OF Sciences
in Paris reasons for thinking that
those stars whose distances have been
measured (that is to say, those which
are nearest to us) group themselves
around Sirius, the dog-star. in man
ner similar 70 that in which the inner
planets are grouped around the sun

A man who recently returned froIl
Key West, Fla, says the first impress
sion a stranger gets of that place at
the present time is that the city has
gone on a perpetual holiday spree.
Bunting flies from almost every house
top, and the colors are about evenly
divided between "Old Glory" and the
emblem OF the Cuban republic. Peo-
pie OF all classes and ages wear pms
or other symbols bearing the motto
Cuba Libre, says the Buffalo Courier.
This far southern city, lying almost
within the tropics, is the only town OF
Importance below Mason and Dixon
line that was never under the stars
and bars OF the confederacy The pop
ulation is about evenly divided be-
tween white Cubans, colored CuDans
aud white Bahamians. There are not
more than a score OF real American
families resident on the island, bat not
wthstanding tins fact the great mass
OF the people are loyal to the union

buildings that dot the island from one

| Handsome residences and lowly hoYels
are alike in this respect, and from an
aminence gazing out over acres Of roofs
on all sides one is struck with the want
of something to complete the symme-
ry OF the picture. Wood and coal
| or fuel Of any kind are an unknown
| quantity, as the tropical atmosphere
furnishes all the heat required, and
,or cooking purposes sticks 0f carbon
are used. which are sold by peddlers,
who hawk their wares about the

There are 10 more than hals dozen

II was remarked a few days since by
a lawyer who claims to know what he
IS talking about that at the present
rate of things it would take year and
a half to clear the court calendar of
New York city and Brooklyn. Wheu
people get into distresses and troubles
OF various kinds for which the law is
the only known remedy. they often
times lose heart because It takes so
long TO get justice through the courts.
Months and even years pass before
decisions are reached There are ap-
peals and stays and evaslons. Delays
are made possible and the course Of
regular business is obstructed by tech
nicalities which sometimes amount to
mere bubbles aud are unworthy OF the
great name of justice. Law and liber-
ty are based on equity and honor. and
when the courts AFFORD neither redress
nor protection without great hardship,
the time has come 10 deal most severe

state Of things possible. As the peo-
pie grow more intelligent, there viii
be a demand for simplicity in law mat
tsrs, and those who come after us may
reasonably expect that their wrongs
will be righted with less delay than
that experienced by some of our con-
temporaries
