The light of each .star has trembled along its path on the wings of ether in some cases for 700,000 years. ( Through the resistance of this exceedingly tenuous fluid, all the planets of out solar system are destined to be nreciuitated into ? ? A the sun and become one totally refrigerat ed mass. That ia the result toward which all these activities are tending. It seems as though all this was but a series of incidents towards the attainment of an ultimate equilibrium, All the stars have their own proper motion, some approaching the constellation Hercules. The conclusion is obvious that if these suns are executing their movements around centers of gravity, through this resisting medium, they will ultimately be precipitated upon these center-. The evidences are that our sun i- moving in an erhit so large that it will take 18,000.U00 years to go over it once. It has been shown that there was a beginning within finite time, aud we have traced a continual progress. Therefore there mii-t he a termination withio finite time, lmwer vast the period may be. This is one of the cycles of matter, and it secui.- probable that when this end of the period is reached, when the forces of matter stop, the arm of the Almighty will again be stretched out, calling again into motion ail these materials forming new worlds and systems.?X. 1\ Tribune, Dec. 13.

The past year's trotting brought out many new horses, and added fame to the names of a like large number that had previously become familiar by their prominent performances (goldsmith ]Maid has, a3 usual, taken a prominent position on the rocords, but there seems to have beeu less determined eiforts to push her forward than last seasou. At Chicago she made a record of 2.18, which is a second a quarter ahort of her best time heretofore. This falling-off does not appear to be a decline in her marvelous power, but rather to be ac* counted to the want of that steady system "f campaigning, which seems necessary to bring her to her highest form. The mishap that retired Lucy from the trotting turf early in the season, and sent her t>i the breeding stud, deprived Gold'mi; h Maid of the only contestant that i capable of (rotting race after rsce wiffi iicr ami forcing her to that marvelous repetition of fast heats that distinguishes hi r record of 1S72.

This produce will not be her first, however, i">r if w? recollect aright we have beeu informed that she dropped a filly when three or four years old, the chance result of an elopement during her years of maidenly indiscretion. Her career would go to show that mares may become great per* formers after having bred in their earlier years, whether true as some contend, that their chances are the better for it. American Girl has acquitted herself well, b*t has not equalled her old form. Her beet record of the year ie 2.20. Occident, the California wonder, has gained the leading record of the year, by scoring 2.16f against time, thus dividing with Goldsmith Maid the highest honors of the files. (>ne of the busiest and racgt improving horses of the season has been Judge Fullerton. His 2.191 at Boston marks him for a rasper when he is in fix. He has won thirty-two boats in 2.30 or better, during the season, which is more than has been accomplished by any other horse. Notwithstanding this, he has been singularly unreliable in his races, and thereby caused much condemnation against his driver. His in-and-out trotting seemed much governed by his temper, which apappear? rank and flighty when he is not in perfect fix, and which we believe has not been at all improved by the meroiless and discouraging use of tho whip which Mace has secu fit to apply when the horse has been overmatched.
