To the Editor of Th Nation :
Sir : Professor Loomis states, in
his "Progress i f Astronomy" (edition
of 1850, p. 162), that the first attempt j
ro establibh ifMsoiiege observatory in
i i united mates was maoe oy rroi.
Albert Hopkins of Williams College,
Maasscnusetts. Tea is an error, and
it is repeated in the Na1 ion of July
12, 188, in the m'rodrction to your;
abstract of Professor Safford's addrets
on "Fifty Years of American Astron
omy." Your article states that the
VYuJiama College Observatory was
erected i 1 838. Seven years before,
an "attempt'' bad been made at the
University of North Carolina by DrJ
Joseph CaidwelJ, who was then pres
ident, and had been for a loDg time
Professor of Mathematics. This was
probably the first attempt made n
this country, and will you not allow
me space for a brief account of it T
In 1821 Dr. Caldwell was sent to
Europe to buy books and apparatus
for the University. Among the in
struments he purchased in London
were a meridian transit instrument
and a zenith telescope made by Simms,
a refracting telescope by Dollond, an
astronomical clock by Molneux, a
Bfilaut by W'lkibson, a reflecting
circlu by Ha rie, and a Iladley's quad

1831, wbeu they wero I'lacod iu an ob
servatory wbich bad just beu built
for them This building wai t brick
an 1 stone, about tweDty fee' square
and twenty five feer. high. , A column
of masonry rose thtougn the centre
to furnih stable foundations lor ths
instruments. The flat roof contained
a wide slit which continued for some
distance down the walls and afforded
a range of 189 deg. for-the transit.
This slit was covered by a wooden
frame-work which could be moved by
rope and windlass.
Observations were made at this
place by President Caldwell, Prof.
Elisba Mitchell and Prof. James Phil
lips. But the observations were con
tinued only a few years. The con
struction of the buildiDg was very
imperfec. The j flat roof was no
troublesome that the instruments
were removed soon after Dr. Cald
well's death in 1835, and the building
was partially destroyed by hre In
1838- It' was never restored. Presi
dent Swain, who succeeded Caldwell,
afterwards carried away the, bricks
and used them in building a ki.chen.
This is still in use! The ruins of the
observatory are yet plainly visible ou
a hill just outside the campus.
The records of these observations
have,. in some way, been losf, whether
dm ing "Reconstruction days," when
t le University was closed for several
years and troops quartered in the
buildii gs, or before, z.o oDe seems to
koow.
Dr.' Caldwell's attempt to establish
this observatory deserves recotd If is
instruments were email, but the equip
ment was entirely sufficient for an ex
callent beginning. Accurate and val
uablo woik could bare been dono
with it. There would hare been eome-
tliing lasting done, and this might
hive grown into one of the best col
lege observatories in tte country ; if
Dr. Caldwell b successors bad pOs
sec st d his zeal and taste. for astrono
my. But the University was poor,
the public was in lifferent, and there
was too much to , stiuggie against
the opportunity was lost i
There are persons tow liviDg in
Chapel Hill, whose au'hozity ia un
questioned, who were often in this
observatory and saw the instruments
iu place. : Among tn.m is lie v. Dr.
Charles Phillips, who, as a child, fre
quently attended Lis father, Dr. James
Phillip", while making observations,
and to whom I am indebted for the
above facts.
During tht. civil war a novel use
was lound lor the telescope, when
some of Sherman's troops passed
through Chapel Hill- The instrument
had been lying unused for a number
of years, on an upper shelf in one cf
the lecture rooms, and looked harm
less enough not to attract anybody's
attention-. Two of the professors
thought it would be a good place to
bide their watcLes. The dusty object-glass
was removed and the
watches carefully concealed within
the lube. But some of the soldiers
must bare been entLubiasts in astron
omy. At any rate they loved gold
watches, and the! unlucky professors
had to apply to the officers of the reg
iment to have their watches returned!

FOR OLD PEOPLE!
In old people tbe nervooi system is
weakened, sad that most be strengthened.
One af tbe most prominent medirsl
writers of the day, in speaking of the
prevalence of rheumatic troubles among
the aged, says : " The various pains, rheu
matic or other, which old popple often
complain of, and which materially disturb
their comfort, result from disordered
nerves. There it is in a nutshell
the medicine for old people must be a
nerve tonic Old people are beset with
constipatioo, flatulency, drowsiness, diar
rhoea, indifrstioa, rheumatism, neuralgia.
These diseases are of nervous origin.
Paine's Celery Compound, that greet
nerve tonic, is almost a specific in these
disorders, and by its regulating influence
on the liver, bowels, and kidney? .re
moves the 1 border? peculiar to old age.
Old people find it stimulating to the
vital powers, productive of appetite, and
a promoter of digestion.
