The most valuable manuscript in
this country, judging from the price
paid, is in the possession of John
Jacob Astor. It is the SforzaMissal,
for which $15,000 was paid. It is
dated in the fifteenth century, and
comprises 484 pages of vellum bound
in red morocco.
It is said that canaries and other
birds may be freed from insects by
placing a white cloth over the cage
at dusk. During the night the in
sects will leave the birds for the
cloth, and in the morning they can
be destroyed by plac ing the cloth in
hot water. A repetition of the pro
cess will soon clear away the pests.
It has been calculated that the
sun Is nearly 93,000,000 miles from
the earth, and it is so large that if a
number of worlds the size of ours
were held together like beads on a

to girdle it around in one line. It
would take 1,2-50,000 of our worlds
to occupy a space equal to the whole
size of the sun.

Stedman In Raleigh.
(Greensboro Patriot.)
At no time since the inception of
the preliminary canvass, leading
the way up to the action of the
Democratic State Convention, has
Lieut. Gov. Chas. M. Stedman knit j
more closely his ties about the
hearts of his adherents,, and extort
ed more genuine admiration from
the advocates of the claims of his
competitors, than when, upon tha.
withdrawal of his name, he address
ed that splendid assemblage of the
representatives of North Carolina
Democracy; and, with all the charms
of a courtly presence, the dignity of
a fine physique, and the magnetism
of ringing tones and impassioned
voice, he pledged such efforts in the
cause of good government as would
make him a leader still at least in
devotion to his native State. With
inimitable grace he introduced Hon
Daniel G. Fowle to the people who
had chosen him for a leader, and re
tiredafter this, the moment of his
real triumph amid a perfect ova
tion.
The citizens of this good old com
monwealth owe Charles Stedman a
debt of gratitude for his distinguish
ed services, and they'll pay it yet.

A curious calculation has been
made giving the work of the heart
in mileage. Presuming that the
blood was thrown out - of the heart
at each pulsation in the proportion
of C9 strokes per minute, and at the
assumed force of 9 feet, the mileage
of the blooil through the body might
be taken at 207 yards per minute, 7
miles per hour, 108 miles per day,
01,320 miles year, or 5,150,880 miles

as in the same proportion that you
pass that point of increase, will cause
you further injury to the eye. Using
