Images of the Moon

Some night when the moon is at
its full and the air is free from haze
go outdoors with hand mirror and
hold it so that the moons image
will fall on it. Make the experiment
preferably when the moon is well up
in the heavens. Instead of seeing one
image, as you will expect, you will
see four. One of these images will
be very bright, but the other three
will be dull, like unburnished silver.
They will be in straight line, one
of the dull images on one side OF
the bright image and two on the
other side of it. Turn the mirror
slowly around and the images will
appear to reyolve around common
center. The explanation of this
queer little phenomenon may be
found in the fact that there are two
surfaces in a mirror, one in front and
the other in the back, where the
quicksilver is. The brightest of the
images is from the moon itself: the
others are what are known as sec
ondary images, reflected from the
front to the back of the mirror, and
thence to the eye. A similar expert
ment may be made with the planets
Venus, Jupiter and Mars, or with any
of the first magnitude stars, such as
Sirius, Capella, Arcturus, Vega and
Antares. The planets and the stars,
however, make only three images,
the number of images depending on
the breadth of the object. A perfect
ly clear night is essential Detroit

Since my last epistle We cores
dent has been quite suddenly trans
ported to the Crescent City; and my
inability to any longer discuss the
domestic affairs of Esther and It's
people brings many a pangi OF Sincere
regret; but perhaps others will come

threads and tarn the stones of gossip

We correspondent is glad to see that
Napoleon has not deserted his
post, and is still holding the fort at
Henry, even if he does, now and

never sleeps wien there is any news

Ye correspondent is very favorably
Impressed with the life and surround
ings of the metropolis of the South ;
in fact there is q charm about it's
lovely scenery and kind, hospitable
people that is wholly impossible to
resist. There are hosts of sweetly
charming girls, and as many hand
some, affable youths of all kinds and
conditions and nationalities. And
one is inwardly inspired with the
sublime when borne on the bosom of
the broad, turbulent Father Of
Waters where rests The earthly re-
mains of DeSoto and many pttfer
adventures and heroes. But as vet,
ye correspondent has seen very little
of the city, and therefore is in no
position to dwell at length on its life,
progress and beauties.
Many of the people here are socia-
listic dreamers and there is animated
talk of taxing bachelors, bachelor
girls and all other membranes 10
society and the welfare of the race.
This class of people have enough
troubles, financial and otherwise,
without being taxed in order to rear
and support some one else's posteri-
ty. Ye correspondent thinks this
would be downright infringement
Of American liberties and the princi-
pies OF our Democratic government.
So now they would have us choose
between two alternatives; matrinony
or single blessedness(?) with an
