Not only were the six new stars previously- mentioned d'si-ovored as a result of this careful examination, but hundreds of variable stars, .so-called have been found in the same way. Ther? are two very interesting dif ferences in chart plates, dire to 'differ uit iiu tliols in taking them.

Thus... 1 -series of motions, tnone of which -, !s'--fiKtant. ether than the apparent n:o-( tion of ti;? iV.ars, must be taken into account. J Mr. Iu. K King, one of the assistants j at the observatory, has. it is true.

For iatanee. the Bruce inch doublet pholographie telescope 24-jeo at Npl Arequipa, tne largest nnd mrst power ful star ea in era in the world, is equipped with clockwork which keeps it set with approximate precision, but in addition theie Is also a movable eye-piece for visual observation, by mean- of which the least variation from the guiding star may be immediately detected and corrected. The amount of photographic work an nually accomplished by the Harvard propaganda were- more aggiT?sj?ive, all of which gent an apprehensive fear, dread and alarm throughout the country, especially in the South. - The Democratic party surveyed the field, saw the only' hope and chance was to carry tha doubtful State of Pennsyl vania and that, it couid be done only by nominating "James Buchanan, of that State, whrlch consideration caused the sacrifice of wo good a man as President Fianklin Pierc?, who was to much en titled other wise to a sscond term.

The work requires the constant service of the fonr-inch transit photonieteis already spoken of. two eight-inch doublets, vono at each station, tha eleven-inch Draper photographic telescope at Cambridge, ;nd the thiiteeu-inch Boyden telescope at Areonipa. To the great Bruce doub let at Arequipa fails the work of pho tographing the fainter shirs and the ilu.-'ters and nebulat'. It is often asked why so many photo- graphs are necessary wh?n there is no apmirent variation In the stars and when the great majority of the plates are aminaticn. i:ie answer is that a con tra ucus record may at any time be re- quireu -a rati wiueii' wits notably m evidence in the case of the planet Eros, when it appeared in ISDN. Search was then made through the Harvard platers, and 'images of the planet were discov ered uikju twenty-six negatives, twentv betweeu Oitolwr. 18.03 and May, 1804. and ix two ye irs later, so that its Iosit':on and path during the entire time that it was near the -earth could be ac curately and convenkntly dettrmined from data which could never have been .gathered, even, excei t for the photo graphic camvra. And this is only one of a .great number of such Instances, where the Harvard onUection of pho tographs, as the largest and mrv.t vabi- iu ne worm, nas ieen useful not ai leiorueu in some or the different series. Ih-om the eight-inch Bache doublet at Aretjuijia. for example, no less than 27.810 .'iates have been received in Cam bridge, while several hundred more ere now m transit or are awaiting shipment. From th eight-inch djuhlet at Cam- bridge 2.44( negatives have been ob- ' 'n'M.

A. M. and R. G. Bewis, Edward GantwelJ and Quentin Busbee. all Democratic lawyers. I was th? yonngpet nun of the company except one, Mr. Tula ski Cow per. - Wise was greatly disappointed and chagrined that the other Southern Gov ernors had not met him as requested. After supper had been iMspased of and some little time spent in conversatioct in courtesy to Mrs. Bragg, the conference was begun. i Wise was in favor of forcible ; resis tance to Fremont's f.aauguration in case he shotrld be elected, Aldams approved. Bragg was more conservative, as were a.'o those of us whom he had invited. We all appreciated the gravity of the cnisis upon the country, btit could pot see the way clear for forcible resist ance. Governor Wise did the talking, chiefly, while Adams laughed approv ingly at his "wise"' sayings. Bragg felt fir at great responsibility was upon hint and he smoked his rife firriwly. while great drops of perspiration rolled down his face. The rest of us were con tent witli plying Governor Wr,lse ."with quesition'. td 'wing him out on the dif f eretft phased of the situation &vA the remedy proposed. Among the many things he .said in his own pocu'liar style I remember this: "If the South tamely submits to the inauguration of such a sectional c-andi-,inf prpni-if they will stink in the nostrils of all the world and of all gen euiaons r ome."' : - - - Lrfite in the night, when nil the city was in slnmber, Mr. Wise, at a climax of thought and feeling, sprang from his chair to his feet as df touched with lire. With his hand nnlifted and index fkisrer iointiug to heaven (and no man ever bad such an index finger as Henry A. Wise), he said: "Gentlemen. .Vir-. ginia ha withlm her borders . , 70,000 stands of arms, and by the help of the God who made .'hie, before John C. Fre mont shall -inauL'urated. the. Presi dent of the United States.

As We escorted the two visiting Governors back to their j hotel uy Fayettevalie street the chickens were crowing for day. - . - i .- ? After they had departed for their re spective States thesa of us who knew what had occun ed, and bell-eving that Wise meant every word he had uttered, got together at ..dirfeient times and fonnseiod among . ourstjves. We 1 felt that the groat fight ought to be made at the 1 Kills. . At this juncture r.a appeal came from the ivy tioual Demociatic committee ask ing for funds to d stray the experises of the campaign. We had no millionaires then to furnish the incaey, and their plan was to fend speakers from the Smth into Pennsylvania, the real battle grorxid, to pledg the . people there 'it they would vote tor thgir own honored statesman, James' Buchanan, the Mouth would give bkn in return every electoral vote south of the Potomac :nd th?

Peace rei&ned again Cn Warsaw. JTruly, this was n "close call" for the whale country. War wottlJ as -ertaialy have broken 'out on th? election ot Fremont as it. did four years after ward nt the election of Lincoln. Wise weald have seized Fort.?ss Monroe, Harper's Ferry and every other pinc 01 vantage an Virgini'a, lie Leing in the saddle himself to ommaiid. South Carolina would have supported him as Govevnor Adams bail pledged that f anions night; the Gulf States were known to lie more extreme than the Atiaiit'ie States, -and if they had not supported WLe by State action, thou sands would have flocked to his stand ard on their individual responsibility. He would' have been able to hnil an army upon the city of equal in numbers to that Confederates marshaled a in the spring of lbtil. He seized the government "at Washington which the i M-ana'ssas would have Washington with ail the archives, its1 treasury, and all the arms and immense munitions of war within reach. He woulu iiaie been the chief like Jackson dn Florida, he would not have stickled about the law. nor would he have carried into the execution of his purposes the red tape dignity which Jeff Davis did; nor would he have known any such fabian policies as characterized the campaigns of Ixe. Beauregard and the Johnstons. His fight would have been furious and fast; his war-cry would have been heard amid the shock and dln of battle. I do not say it would have been a bet ter fight than was made four years af terwards, but I say it would have been a different ie. It could not have re sulted any worse; it might .have ended better. Henry A. ise proved his de votion to liis country by following the Confederate flag, from the beginning to the end at Appomattox; Koo.l in the ditches up to his knees in mud and water like other soldiers. But it was well known that he was not himseli under command, a in command. His was a proud, imperious nature, bom to lead and to ooniui-and. In a letter from him in 1S72 to this writer, he said. "I remember well my visit to Governor Bragg, and have al ways thought that if the other Southern Governors bad met B.-ag.
