j THE WORLD'S FUTURE.
Philosophers in all ages have
wrestled with thequestion of what
i is to be the final fate of the planet
which we inhabit. Some consign
it to the fiery flames and others to
the opposite extreme, hut all
seem inclined to mete out some
terrible fate for it. For instance
the philosopher of the New York
Commercial Advertiser causes the
icicles to perambulate the spinal
vertebra by predicting a freeze up.
! lie says that of the stars which are
on their way to become suns, there
j must be many in the depths of
space. Some of them are known
to us, as the dark companion of
Sirius is, because they shine with
a feeble and probably a reflected
light, while others are wholly
unknown to us because they are so
dead, or because they are so re-1
mote from other suns, that they
emit absolutely no light whatever,
proper to themselves or caught
from living suns. All they do, and
all they will do till the times comes
iur cnem to Diaze up so ttiat we
shall know of their existence, is to
lie perdus in the mysterious depths
and suck in heat from the siu
, rounding space. So far as we
know, there is no reason to believe
that at any time our own solar
system may not come within the
influence of one of these bodies
and palpably feel its tremendous
power. We may be now, and
possibly there is good reason to
believe that we actually are, with
in the sphere of suck a celestial
'body's attraction. We know with
accuracy the course of the planets,
but we do not know whit her the
solar system is drifting. There
was a time when it was believed
that the sun, clustered around by
planets, was on an exploring ex
pedition around Alcyone, but i
observations with the spectroscope
have shown the theory of Herschel
to be untenable. The stars do not
hirl about one center; they go in
all directions, hither and thither,
. some approaching our system, some
receding from it. and some going
directly athwart the field of view. I
Whither we ourselves are hasten- j
ing is a question as unsettled j
to-day as it was when the pyra- j
mids were buiit. We may be )
rushing toward a sun, the intense 1
One of Buffalo Bill's riders,
during the i-,ngusn trip oi mat
troupe, seems to have successfully
posed while exhibiting his wild
and tiaring horsemanship, as he
succeeded in securing'the admira
tion and affections of a beautiful
and accomplished Englisll?iri who
followed him to this country and
married him. Ten to one that she
has secured a better husband than
the American Mrs. Hammersly
did in marrying her Pmgiish duke.
Consideration of the bill
authorizing the issuance of patents
to widows or single women, who
settled on lands under the donation
land claim act of 1S50. about the
legality of the entres there has been
some question, came up in the
luuse on the 2oult. under the
management of Mr. Hermann, and
the bill was passed. It had previous-
passed the senate.
The case of Guilford Miller
against the Northern Pacific rail
road, in a land contest, was
decided in favor of the settlers,Mr.
Miller, by the secretary of the
interior. The decision covers the
cases of nearly two thousand
settlers in Washington territory,
and is considered one of importance
to the actual settlers.
The story has been put in circu
lation that Henry Villard was
preparing to take a trip to the
south pole. It grew out, it appears,
of the fact that he had subscribed
to a fund to assist a scientific
exploring exoedition into that
region.
