Elementary Astronomy.
In attempting to give my little
girl some elementary uotions of as
tronomy, I have had occasion to rub
. up my owu remembrances, and per
haps some ot your reauera would,
not be unwilling to rub up theirs in
company with me. Our sun and
his attendant planets are such a mere
point in space, compared with their
distance from other suns, that we
need to bo every now and then re
minded, by different illustrations,
how far they are from being crowd
ed together, in fact, how immense
their distances, according to our
terrestrial standards, aro from each
. other. . Taking the cue from Prof.
Troctor, I have compared the re
sults given by three different scales
of reduction, an inch for a mile, an
inch for the earth's diameter, and a
foot for the earth's diameter. Of
course, the statements are not quite
precise, but are near enough for the
purpose.
Reducing the solar system at the
rate of an inch for a mile, wo have
the following results. The sun
would be a globe in tho centro 13
miles through. Morcury, a .globe
450 feet through, and 570 miles dis-
" taut. Venus, a globe 632 feet thro',
sad 1057 miles distant The Earth
a globe 6G0 feet through, and 1436
miles diataU Mars, a globe 416
feet through, and 2225 miles distaut.
The Asteroids, an indefinite number
of fragments, from 16 feet through
down to mere grains of sand, and at
an average distance of 3946 miles.
Jupiter, a globe 1 2-5 miles through,
and 7572 miles distant. Suturn, a
globe a little more than a mile
through, and 13,905 miles distant.
Uranus, a globe 2776 feet through,
and 27,967 miles distant. Neptune,
a globe 3133 feet through, and 43,845
miles distant. Who, at first thought,
would have imagined that so great
a reduction as an inch for a mile,
would still give such enormous dis
tances, and such enormous dimen
sions? Taking now the scale of an inch
for 7912 miles, the earth's diameter,
or, a little more looBely, 8000 miles,
we have the following results. The
sun would be a globe in the centre,
9 feet through. Mercury, a globe
of- an inch through, and 376 feet
distant Venue, a globe an inch
through, and C9S feet diBtant The
Earth, a globe an inch through, and
94S feet distant Mars, a globe
of an inch through, and 1469 feet
distant The Asteroids, fragments,
of which tho largest would perhaps
be one-fortieth of an inch through,
and 2604 feet distant. Jupiter, a
globe 11 inches through, and nearly
a mile distant. Saturn, n globe 84
inches through, and nearly 1 4-5
alles distant. Uranus, a globe 4
inches through, and 3 miles dis
tant '"Neptue, a globe 4 Inches
through, and 5 3-5 miles distant
Noxt, augmenting tho scale 12
times, that Is, to a foot for S000
miles, the earth's diameter, we have
the followisg results: Tho Sun
would be a central globe, 107 feet
through. Mercury, a globe 4)4
laches through, and 4500 feet dis
tant Venas, a globe a foot through,
and 1)4 mile distant The Earth, a
globe a foot through, and 2 miles
distant Marft, a globe 6 inchcB
tbreefffc, ami 3tf ailes distant The
steroids, fragments one-third of
an inch through at the largest, and 6
miles distant Jupiter, a globe 10i
feet through, and 11 miles distant
Saturn, a globe 8 feet 6 inches thro',
and 29 miles distant Urauus, a
globe 4 feet through, and 42 miles
distant Neptune, a globo 4 feet 7
inches through, and 65 miles distant
The last scalo appears to give (he
most apprehensible results as to
distances. As has been well said,
. ..the plauets.of our Bystem, instead of
appeariug like the crowded balls of
aorrery, rather resemble a few
lurdB flying here and there through
the sky. Moreover, consider how
"large a' ball of fire 107 feet in diame
ter would appear at a distance of 65
Bailee, and we can understand how
largo ithe sun looks from tho outer
most known planet of our system.

Hate IVot.
"God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten son that
whosoever would believe on him
might not perish but have everlast
ing life." He loved us while we
were yet sinners; and he says unto
ut "love your euemleF." But do
we? No: we hate thral we are
sot even just towards them; aro
iot willing, to give them credit for
the eed qualities which they pos
sess. Yes, aud if any of our friends
dare to tell us of our faults, we are
quite apt to hate them also ! Even
some preachers of the gospel hate
their enemies! Not long since a
light misunderstanding occurred
Between two who were of different
denominations, and when they met,
one of them saluted the other, OS
tending his hand as he did so, but
the other wonld not accept it, and
turned angrily away. Christ says,
Mif ye salute your brethren only,
-what reward have ye ? do not even
the publicans the same?" How can
we get angry at our neighbors about
triies, and hate them, for the bible
tells bs to "sin not," even when wo
are angry. "We cannot look down
into the frave of an enemy without
feeling a compunctious throb that
we ever hated 6uch a frail short
lived' 'mortal. Why then will we
not be more severe to our own faults,
more charitable to those of others,
land hate not?
"So fleet our years, 0 full of tears;
So closely deth is waiting,
God give us space for loving grace,
Hut leave no time for hating.
Begone with feud! away with strife;
Our human hearts unuiatlng:
Let us be friendB again! thin life
Is all too short for bating."
N. D. Howe.
Libraries.
Everything considered, the news
papor is the best aud most availa
ble of libraries. The one fact cheap
ness is so strongly in its favor as to
overbalance the majority of argu
ments that can be advanced upon
tho opposite side. It is within the
reach of every one, no matter how
poor, and finds an entrance where
books (as a rule) novercan ; It comes
weekly, aud is read and loaned un
til actually worn out ; can be caught
up if one has but a moment of time,
and some knowledge can be gained.
A single, brief item frequently gives
what pageB of book-bound matter
wouIcVhave to be waded throngh to
learn; for the newspaper is the ep
itome of the entire world. In the
briefest possible space, all that is
necessary to the correct understand
ing is given to such perfection has
the art of condensation been
brought -
The newspaper with tho present
facilities for almost learning-what
is transpiring in every portion of
the habitable globe, is the reflection
of the hour equally as much as of
past ages. By It the North and the
Sooth, the East and and the West
are brought together. We kuow of
the crashing of the ice and the curl
ing heat of the sun ; we are with tho
daring explorers seeking for the
north pole; travel through the jun
gles of Africa; have a bird's eyo
view of great battles ; sail over every
sea; dive with tho whale to its fab
ulous depths; are present in the
parliament of nations; listen to tho
last words of an expiring pope, end
take by the hand his successor.
A wonderful, concise most skill
fully painted panorama of the af
fairs of the world is the newspaper ;
a map of its busy life; a faithful re
production of all its lights and shad
ews, and at the most nominal cost;
at the merest bagatelle lo books,
even in these days of exceptional
cheapness. Week after week the
paper comes filled with all that is
rare, new, interesting and instruct
ive. It is a history of nations iu
fifty-two volumes; an ever contin
ued encyclopaedia of trade, science,
biography, agriculture and the arts ;
is the "boiling down" of all books
in so minute a form that the mind
can grasp at a single glance, and be
saved tho wading through ponder
ous volumes of uuintercsting detail
to the great saving of time. It
is, in fact, tho grandest of all circu
lating libraries, at only a penny feej
the throwing open to the public of
all the costly and exclusive archives
of the world.
The newspaper of to-day is a per
fect omnium gatherum. Nothing
escapes its notice. Every event of
importance Is instantly photograph
ed upon its pages. The whispers
breathed in every clime are caught
and fixed. It is a marvel of intel
ligence; is the stcrcotypo of every
mind. We look back in wonder at
tho days whon it was not, and hu
man intelligence shudders to 'think
of the barbarism and ignorance and
superstition that would follow the
blotting out of this tho sun of the
solar system.
Not a single word would we say
against books. Multiply them as
much as possible; there can never
be too many ; tho world can never
have too much light ; but as the
grandest, and cheapest, and widest
circulating medium of intelligence
as libraries for mankind, they never
can comparo with newspapers.
CeafeIem f Crime.
F. B. Webster, under arrest for
many crimes, prominent among them
being a murderous assault and rob
bery upon Chester Goodale, at Egre
mont, iu September last, has made a
statement to the effect that he and
bis uncle, Norman Notowise, plann
ed the robbery of Goodale. Webster
secreted himself iu Goodale's barn
on Tuesday, and lived there ou pro
visions stolen from the collar. Note
wise joined him on Wednesday
night. The plan was to throw a
blanket over Goodale and rob him,
but Webster stated that Notewise
did not use the blanket, but struck
Goodale on the head with a club,
knocking him dowu and then struck
him twice more, robbed him of
$22.50, and fled. Notewise, a bad
character, was arrested this evening.
Several young men were sitting
together, and a young lady happen
ed lo approach the vicinity. One
"real Bweet" young fellow seeing, as
he supposed, the young lady looking
at him, remarked, playfully and with
a becoming simper: "Well, Miss
, you needn't look at me as tho'
you wanted to eat me." "Oh, no,"
replied the young lady, "I never
eat greens."
Two bad boys recently shocked
their good mother by a slnsple do
vise. When they got her religions
paper out of the mail they 'slipped it
from the wrapper and instituted a
copy of the Police Gazette. When
the mother first opened it, withont
her specs, she thought it was a
Christmas number.
NebrasUa.
To a caBual obsorver of map?, as
well as to the traveler by rail, very
little correct knowledgo can be ac
quired of the rich soil, salubrious
climate, pure water advantages and
resources of a Btate like Nebraska.
The soil must be examined by scien
tific analysis or cultivated by the
farmer to know what character of
crops it will produce. Both these
tests havo been applied, and the fact
of their richness and durability is
no longer doubted ; it haB been pro
nounced under a careful analysis,
approved by the authority of the
Btate, to be tho richest soil iu tho
world, and ranging in thickness
from 5 to 150, and even 200 feet.
This investigation shows that over
eighty per cent of the formation is
fiuely comminuted silica, so fine that
iU true character can only be de
tected under a microscope. Ten per
cent, of its substance is mado up of
carbonates and phosphates of lime.
There are some small amounts of
alkaline matter, iron and alumina;
tho result being a soil that can never
be exhausted until every hill and
valloy which composes it is entirely
worn away. Tho richer surface soil
overlies the sub soil, and it is from
18 inches to 3 and 4, and even 6 feel
thick.
The next evidence of the richness
of Nebraska soil is obtained from the
crops raised by actual cultivation.
It is not uuuBual with the corn crop
to produce from 70 pounds of ears
60 to 63 pounds of shelled corn, or
I four to seven pounds over the stand
ard, the general average of pioduc
tion, with average fair cultivation,
being 50 to 60 bushels por acre.
Great varieties of wheat are grown,
the yield being 15, 25 and the Polish
variety yielding sometimes 30 to 35
bushels per acre; of barley a fair
yield is 30 to 40 bushels ; of rye, 25
to 30, oats 40 to 50 bushels. Flax
produces 12 bushels per acre.
The area of tho state comprises
75,995 square miles, or 46,625,800
acres, aud is about as large as all
the New England states, or all of
Pennsylvania and half ot New York
lift length is 412 miles, and its width
about 200. The laud on the eastern
boundary is about 910 feet above sea
level, on tho western, about 5,000.
It is between tne parallels of 40
aud 43 north latitude, placing the
state in the latitude of Pennsylvania,
and southern New York, and north
ern California, aud southern Ore
gon. From the eastern to the
western boundary of Nebraska,there
is a gradual rise in the land of about
seven feet to the mile in eastern
Nebraska, and from that to ten feet
in the west ; the eastern boundary is
910 feet above sea level, and the
western about 5,000.
The coining spring bids E fair, at
the present time, for a large emigra
tion from the older states aud for
eign countries to Nebraska, where
cheap and good lands can yet be
procured, either directly from the
government or improved lands from
those who want to make larger in
vestments in stock. It is of the
utmost importance to persons in
tending to locate in Nebraska that
they should receive reliable and
truthful information regarding tho
stato, and especially tho richness and
productiveness of its soil, and in
.what we haye written and what we
may hereafter write, moat of our
facts are taken from a publication
iBsucd by the State, approved by
Gov. Nauco and F. M. Davis, Land
Commissioner, and any porsou de
siring further information by apply
ing to S. J. Aloxander, Secretary of
Stato, at Lincoln, Neb., will doubt
less be furnished with the publica
tion which treats of Nebraska and
its resources.

Geo. E. Barnnm Bulldoze the
Crowd.
Mtocltmcu, Attention !
Some time since the Journal sub
mitted a problem to the stock raisers
of Platte county and Nebraska, con
cerning the iucrease in ten years
from one cow, supposing that the
progeny began to bear at the age of
three years, and that the steer calve:?
aro changed for heifers before that
time. J. W. Zieglcr returned as
answer to that problem, 61 ; W. N.
McCandli9h mado an improvement
on the problem, suggesting that, as
cattle were kept hero in herd's, tlie
progeny begin to como when the
cows are two years old. In the fol
lowing solution by our friend Bar
num, he slarls out tho first year
with a cow and a calf, and just sec
what he makes of it. Is it any won
der that stock-raisers got rich ? To
be sure, in this calculation no allow
ance is made for losses by disease,
accident or otherwise, but cattle in
this country are remarkably healthy
and a friend of ours who ha3 kept
note for nine years, (ihe progeny of
0D0 cow) says he has lost but three
calves in that lime. The problem to
which Mr. Barnum gives answer is
this: What will bo tho increase
from one cow (with calf beside her)
supposing that all steer calves are
exchanged for heifers, and that the
heifers begin to bear at the age of
two years.
When it is 6cen that the grass
costs little moro than the wages cf a
boy herding; the hay, in stack. $1,
or thereabouts, a ton, corn, for fat
tening, 10 to 20 cents a bushel, ac
cording to the season, it will not be
wondered at that Nebraska stock
raisers are on the high road to in
dependence. But here are George's
figures, and we wonld be glad
to have any error pointed out.
