Congressman Francis M. Griftlith, of Indiana, in a talk with Mr. Lud low, the Washington oorrosponder.R of the Star, gives un J qualified indorsement to Governor Durbin s exposure of vote buying in Indiana. "I can remember,” said Mr. Griffith, " when election exjtenses were confined to the printing of bills, a sml*l amount for music and a small livery bill, the buying of votes was unknown. 1 have soon the growth an 1 developnient of this nefarious bnsiqgss until 1 now Und myself wondering wherqat will end.

THE AGE OF STAKtf r.-.’or the Astronomer In MnkiuK Ills I'nlculntlons. As a star contracts from the surrouting nebulous matter from which it was thrown off its temperature rises, and with this augmented heat occurs u change Itoth in the star’s spectrum and color. Redbot iron is not nearly so hot as white hot iron. By observing the various changes in tint which the metal uu>torgoes the foundryinan is able to with considerable accuracy Its degree of beat. A somewhat similar method of gauging n star's temperature, and therefore its age. is relied upon by the astronomer. Color, then, and epeetroscepic analysis enable the astronomer to estimate the age of orbs that are only beginning to exist as stare and others wlio-etlight is fust fading. After having coagulated, as it were, from a nebulous mass, a star assumes « color that may l>e l»est described as an intense bluish wldte. mueb like that of the electric arc. Stars of that hue , are. therefore, in their infancy. Then conies the white stage, followed by the yellow, orange and red, each succeeding hue indicating greater celestial antiquity than the last. Up to the yellow period the star as it contracts grows hotter auß I ‘t‘ ! ’i’. Then a gradual cool Sg takes price Ac mip.inying the changes in color are changes in the Hpectnuu ot the star —changes that indicate a imxlitic.'.tion iu physical structure.

The skin grafting experiments which have I ecu so successful of re< ent years have led to a new form of livelihood, which is fairly remunerative. Several of the London hospitals have on their books the natdßs and addresses of inaito iui’u and women who have undegaken t> sell portions of their cutl■to vheuever the ne --it\ ar -is. ht is said that quite a regular trat'i • is now being done in the buying and selling of human skin. The persons who are willing to sacrifice their flesh for money are by no rnejms confined to the poor and destitute class.—London Mail. The i'ontnl l iiioti. The first step toward the formation of the postal union, which has had •ueb wide results, came from Germany iu the shape of a proposal for an international postal congress. This met at Borne in 1873. when twenty-two countries joined the union, including the whole of Europe. A second congress aiel in Paris in 1878, when ten •thw couutrioa came iu, and the otil•1*1 tlUa, “lutiiruatioual Postal Union," waa dsfiuitaly fixed.
