Sirius was describid as a fiery red ?tar by the ancients; some years ago it was a pur J white, while it is now becoming or a decided giv-n color. Capella was also called a rel star by thc ancients; it was afterwards described as a yellow star, and ta now bluish. Many other Instances of change or color, though less decided, have been detected. -A firm in York, England, several years since, undertook to make a two.ity-flve Inch telescope, something astronomy has never accomplished.

The full illuminating puwer of this telescope is nearly three times that ortho telescopes at Harvard College Observatory, and at Pulkowa, St. Peters bur?. -A happy retort of'?.Ir. John Bright's ls going thc rounds or thc English papers. Some little time ago he was dinitig with a well known citizen of Cottonopolis, an t the conversation turned on the subject of thc growth and development or America. "I should like," said tho host, who is an cnthusia-uic admirer of the great republic, "to came back fifty year? after my death, to SM .what a flue wintry America had become." "I belisvo you would bc gi id of any excuse to come back,*' said Mr. Bright, with a grim allusion in the tone or his voice to the quarters from which lils friend would bc likely to emerge. -Through some strange freak a Pennsylvania woman, while away from homo, sent a dispatch, signed with a fictitious name, to her BOU, saying that she w;is dead, and he must come for thc body. He made arrangements for thc fon eral, went, found her alive, and brought her back. Mourning was changed to joy. all present scream? ing, dancing, crying and laughing in concert. The grave was filled up and tho undertaker dis misled.. und there was a fl od of indignation poured out against the wicked perpetrator of the terrible joke, the woman herself retort ing to the heartless transaction with tears in her eyes. -The New York Herald or Saturday says : "Tiic States of New York and South Carolina took posl'bn to dav in the fore.uost rank or honorable debtors by paying the interest on their Indebted? ness In coin, lu thc case or the bonds or New Yo:k State distinction was made agalnt those issued- since February, 1S52, and for which the State received curreucy payment. On such bonds interest is nor. paid iu coin; but in the case of tho old d?M of New York, and tho whole debt of South Carolina, payment in coin is now made without exception. In the case or South Caro? lina the matter was thc subject ol direct legisla? tion last winter." -Yeddo has ot cn again visited by a great Ore. A . correspondent or thc Japan Gazette writes : "Ruined dwellings, shattered fortunes, waut, aad ?ven.death, have come lu place of the joyous New Yenr's festivity, so long looked forward to. I hear that nearly 5000 houses were destroyed, and that over 6U lives are authentically reported lost. . Besides au Immolation ofTalthful retainers guard? ing a store or silver, who were burled In the walls or a building which foll iaup m and crushed them, I hear, that thirteen perished arouud an enormous quantity of kinsais which the government had placed for safekeeping In the large silk store called 'Eliesiya.' The men stood staunchly to their posts until they were completely surrounded by a fiery circle, which onlookers conld see mo? mentarily narrowing its edge. It was evident that most must perish, and ad did sa- thirteen charred heaps of humanity being found next day between tiie ?o-dowus. Thc kiusats were the re? sult or last yen 's iu-gatlierlng of taxes." -The destitution and desolation of great Lon? don have mme curious Illustrations. A woman and her sou of flvc years have for some time been Uving' alone; but recently for several days thc child waa seen playing about, near thc house, with no sitrn at his mother. Some Of the neigh? bors Inquired of the child whether he had had plenty of food during the week, and he repilcd . that all that he had had was what was left in the .cupboard, ami that there was plenty still remain? ing there. (typo missing the child's mother, one of the neighbors inquired how she waa, and whirher she had gone. The Ht tie child, with great SSUttjiiiciiyVreiiiied, "Mamma is lying ia bed, and .she will hot speak to rae, ard she is so cold, like a lump of ice. when I lay in beti with her." Thc .same person sutil, "Perhaps she ls dead," wbrr. the boy replied, "I think so too, for she is so cold, and I i-an't g^t her to speak at all." The neigh? bors, noon entering thc room, found the unfortu nate creator -lying stltTand cold in bed, where she had been de id for two or three days, and the po ir chill had hcen lying at her side in bed dur lng that hw?. -A mitjciatei lal tnqnlrj Into the circumstances amending tho death of the "Welsh fasting gi has brought every detail of that pitiable fa again before the English public In long report: dreary evidence from doctors and nurses a clergymen. The investigation goes to show tl the poor hysterical girl was actually starved death, not "in the interco: of science," but In Interest of the deception sustained by herself a her parents. Tho case or this girl, who had t lsted for some eighteen months avowedly With! food or drluk, was considered sufficiently imp tant to warrant a test, In which leading phy clans from all parts of Wales participated, they really believed th st tho girl lived aud gn plump and rosy wit..out sustenance, one c only pity their lack or knowledge ; but as was more reasonable, they thought her pri tising a deception, lt was next to a crime subject her to it test of such a cruel nature, stead of to medical treatment for the cure of li nervous aud mental malady. The girl w watched closely until nature succumbed and s died. "Sarah likes it," her mother said; "it , her only enjoyment." Thc father urged that t time of watching should bc. prolonged. Wn the poor girl was sinking under starvation, bc parents united in the assertion that she bad oft been so before, aud that lt was only a pass! weakness. When lt was suggested that rood shot be offered her, the rather objected, and thc ru or the test were strictly enforced np to dca Thc result of thc investigation Is to reveal si more clearly thc obstinacy of the parents, t unfortunate malady or the girl and thc stupldl of thc physicians. '.Tho Nation" and South Carolina Po ItlCSa The State officials aud their understrappei in their vehement abuse of thc CITIZE? PARTY, address themselves chiefly to tl double declaration that no change is neerl in thc State administration, and that tl new movement is only an ingenious plan f thrusting back the colored people into least political slavery. No other line of defence was open to tl party in power. An admission that refor in high places and retrenchment every wher I are indispensable to the prosperity of tl State-would cut the ground from under tl feet of tkeir party. To acknowledge tin thc white people are sincere in their publ pledge of equal civil and political rights I their colored fellow-citizens-would be I hasten the inevitable doom of South Can lina Radicalism. AH that was left the co: rupt band was to raise the old cry of Rebi Democracy, and vow that a coterie of irrest lute journalists were trying to whip into sui jectiou the intelligent masses, as well as tl) master minds of the State. But the iniquil otis follies which a clique of adventurer have deliberately and persistently committed are notorious outside of South Carolina, nfl what a Radical official here has not the hon 03ty or the courage to say, is spoken bravel; ami manfully by 77<e Nation- the able, riii; nilled and philosophical head of America] Republican journalism. The Kation, in its issue of Saturday last uses these words : ' 'That liier? is need enougl '.that somehow South Carolina should get : "new government is not doubted. There i "no dispute among observers of its perform "anees, that the Legislature which lias jusl "been adjourned was one of the most cor rup "assemblages that ever legislated for a Stale, "and one of the most contemptible in poinl "of ability." This is no frothy stutemeut so-called, of a Democratic press, but thc calm and unbiassed declaration of the rep? resentative Republican newspaper. And il is the very need that "somehow South Caro "lina should got a new government" whict unitci Republican and Democrat, whiteman and colored man, in thc groat cause or Re? generation, Retrenchment and Reform. The saino paper, Thc Nation, discusses Lue action of the Press Conference and thc broad platform of the CITIZENS' PARTY. It says: "The so-called anti-Radical editors of "South Carolina have set a precedent which "mnny of ti3 may live to see generally fol? lowed, by assembling in conference to dc "cide upon the line of political policy which "they shall unite in urging upon the voters "of thc Staio. Hitherto tho 'Conservative' "papers of South Carolina have not been "speaking with entirely accordant voices; "manifest as it lifts been for some years that "thc negro absolutely must bc made a friend, "there was still left, herc and there, a bitter "negro-hater who counselled open war to "thc end-'a square light on a white man's "'platform'-until, peradventure, a national "success for thc Democratic party should "give the ?Conservatives' ?i chanco to make "over their reconstructed State. In thc con? f?rence, however, more politic views pre? vailed, and the platform adored is all Hint "anybody has any right to ask for. The "attendance of editors, though uumsricully "small, is said to have represented the fee! "ings ?ind opinions of nearly nil the coun? ties in the State They began by passing a "resolution to tho effect that 'the conference 14 'recognized the legal right of nil the cili " 'zens, white or colored, to sullVuge,' and "proceeded to pass another to the effect that "there ought to be 'no limitation of the right 11 *to hold oltice except such limitations as " 'are imposed by persoual character and " 'fitness.' A convention is to be held which "will organize a party pledged to these dog "mas, and acting in the hope of sotting a "government which shall afford 'some de "'gree of security, prosperity and good "'government' These proceedings seem "promising, and we are not disinclined to "believe that they are taken in good faith. "South Carolina events have lo^ic, whether "or not there is much sense and logic in the "South Carolina Democrats, and how other "conclusions could have been reached it is "not ea*}' to see." Surely this expression of opinion is more valuable and more trustworthy thuu thc penny-a-line vituperation of vena! politi? cians! The Nation luis always been, and is now, the organ of the responsible ami re? spectable Republicans of the Northern States. It fought manfully for the political emanci? pation of the freedmen, and would don its armor to-morrow were their rights threat? ened or their privileges endangered. But it treats its old opponents as an honest foo man should, and witli no grudging or carp? ing spirit says fraukly that "the platform "adopted is all that anybody has any right "to ask for." The Nation has no fear of Democratic success or Radical defeat. It sees that South Carolina has need of a new government; it declares that the platform gives all that anybody can properly ask for; it Bpeaks of these proceedings as promising, and i3 "not disinclined to believe that they "are taken In good faith." Well, indeed, may The Nation say that "South Carolina events have logic." That hard and inflexible logic forced the public mind to its present conclusions. A long and bitter experience taught the people that they must look to themselves for relief. They sought their natural allies, and fiad them in the colored people whose whole future, for good or for evil, is linked with that of the white American. And tho ally is greeted, notas a serf, but as a political equal, for such in fact he i3. No test is applied to one class that is not applied to the other. Merit and citizenship are the only qualifications, a.id the laborers and mechanics are assured that a movement for a new government means a better protection and higher wages for labor, and a more rapid developmcntof thc hidden wealth of the State. At thc same time the illiterate must be made to know that ono of the first aims of thc new government will be to carry out vigorously a thorough scheme of free ?ducation. AU classes and all con? ditions are invited to band together for the general benefit; for on the success of the CITIZENS' PARTY depends, for many years to come, the peace and welfare of tho State. With the fall elections well over, and an hon? est and impartial State Government, South Carolina would stride forward and all her people taste of the riches of her joy. But two years more of extravagance and mis? rule would crush all our budding hopes, and drive capital, intelligence and worth far from our shores. _ Greeley on thc South and ?UT Carpet Baggers. Thc New York Tribune says: "If the 'South can simply go on as she ls going, for 'ten years longer, she will be richer and "more prosperous than she ever yet has .been." It speaks of "the Ku-Klux as one "of her scourges," and of the "carpet-bag? gers" as another. It defines the latter precisely as we do. They are not the hon? est Northern settlers who come among us to make their homes and follow their legitimate business-but, in the language of tho Tri? bune, the carpet-baggers are "those who "went South in quest of office, or power or "plunder of some kind, and who have let "nothing stand in the way of their greed or .'ambition." "THE cry is still they come." The Ben nettsville Journal heartily endorses the reso? lutions of the Press Conference and the plat? form of the CITIZENS' PARTY. The Winns boro' New, which had opposed the June Convention, now frankly says that Fairfield shall be represented. TMB Clieraw Democrat nominates Henry L. Shrewsbury-an honest and intelligent colored man, now a member from Chester? field in the State Legislature-for Congress from the First Dlslrict, in place of Whitte more. Copartnership Notices.
