NATUIULLY, the citizens of our state, have cause to refuse to sanction the passage of the Interest bill, now pending before the Legislature, which provides a change of law, flxirg the highest rate of interest taken in the state, at 6 per cent. This cannot do otherwise than drive capital from the state, for capitalists will loan their money where tUey Caa sO do, to the greatest advantage and benefit themselves. If this be not done, the law may be defied and the desired interest paid without being specified, as experteniDe foos proven prior to the present legal provis-

The passage of this bill can do no OnS. ilic jinoswnw more than

injure

the commercial interests

of our state and $au*e trouble, among our capitalists, and we think it just and proper Uiat our Legislature should consider well bzfotts they act itx the matter, and thus avoid the result to which will necessarily follow »ny misstep.

For many ages this question puczled astronomers: How far off aire tbe stars? It was kxiowu that their distance was great, very great. It was known that they were .immeasurably fiirther off than the sup, the moon, or any or the planets but it is only in th* present century th»t tb« question has been even partially answered. I Of the conntlcss thousaadn of stars which stud the- universe, the distance of perhaps about twenty has been determined. Others which have been tried have defied (he powers of the most skillful astronomers, aided by the most elaborate instruments: their distance is too great to allow of measurement, Tfrhile the rest of the vast host which stud our firmament have not yet been examined with this object.

The inquiry is one of the most delicate and subtle which can engage the attention of an astronomer. It is impossible to explain here the manner in .which it is conducted wemustendeavorrather to realise, the result which has rewarded these successful labors. There is a beautiful star in the southern hemisphere, the brightest in the constellation Centaur, one of the most brilliant stars in the heavens. This was diligently observed by tbe skillful astrouomer who managed the observatory at: the Cape of Good Hope in the years 1832 and 1833. He fband as the result of his' labors,that thedistanceof this stur—Alpha Centauri, as it is called—is twenty billions' of miles.

It requires a little consideration to estimate what the words twenty billions Of' miles really mean. A billion contains^ one million millions, and wo shall endeavor to convey an idea of this amount by a| few simple illustrations. Supposing ourgreat forefather Adam had commenced to! count as quickly as he coulet, aud that when his lifb was ended his son commenced to -count, taking up from the number atwhich Adam leit off, jeind spent his whole life, day and night, counting as fast as he could, and supposing that at his death he? enjoined on his heirs an eternity of count-j ins, and that they had continued doing so up,to the present moment, their united efforts would not yet have reached the: amount of one quarter of a billion and ye' the distance df the star is twenty billions of miles 1

Another illustration may be given to convey an idea of this vast, distance. Ii we were to take a sum equal to five times our national debt, and were to.expend this! in postage-stamps, We should get one billion of them and if We were to draw a! line romnd London, including every house in the suburbs, and then take an area equal in size to this cleared and arranged for the purpose if we then commenced to Stick them side by side over the entire area Of IxradOn, we should not be able to get them all in. After we had covered every inch of the surface over completely, there would be countleap ^housfuj^a still ing. IV 'J •Such then, is the distance of tHe nearest fixed star. We cannot grasp it in our imagination, nor are we more successful if wo try to make a map. Suppose we proceed by first laying down the sun, and then placing the darth one inch distant from it.j If we

How Not to bo Drowned.

The following article, suggested by the steamboat disaster on, Long Island Sound, iu June 1880, should be carefully read, and remembered case the reader experiences similar danger. Let our readers try the experiment themselves, and induce others to try it. Familiarity with the buoyancy of the body in water, and presence of mind in

emergency would save many lives Another terrible steamboat slaughter! Presence of mind and a slight knowledge of the specific gravity of tbe human body would have saved much of this frightful loss of life. There was loose wood enough about the boat to have floated ten times the number of passengers on the ill-fated vessel-if it had been used with judgment Tbe human body weighs about a pound in the water, and a single chair will carry two grown persons. That is, it would keep their heads above water, which is all that is necessary when it is a question of life or death. The burning vessel was close to shore, tli© water was calm and warm, and all these passengers might easily hava jumped overboard and paddled, laughing, ashore if they had only possessed and used the simple knowledge that one finger placed upon a stool or a chair, or a small box, or apiece of board, would easily keep the head above water, while the two feet and the other hand might be used as paddles to propel toward the shore.

It is not at all necessary to know how to swim to bo able to keep from drowning in this way. A little experience of the buoyant power of water, and fiiith in it, is all that is required. We have seen a small bov who could not swim a stroke propel himself beck and forth across a deep, wide pond by means of aboard that would not sustain five pounds weight. In feet, that sometime small bojrisuow writing this.

Children and ail others should have practice in tbe sustaining power of water. In nine cases oat of ten the knowledge that what will sustain a pound weight is all ihnt is necessary to keep one's head above tbe water will serve better ia emergencies than the greatest expertness as a swimmer.

A person unftmiltar with tbe buoyant power of water will naturally try to climb on top of the floating object on which he trios to save himself. If ft is large enough, that is all right. But it is generally not large enough, a»d half of a struggling sraup is often, dxuwaed in tne oesperate scramble of a tife-and-death struggle to climb on top of a piece of wreck or other floating object, twt Istge eueugh to keep iKjift »n entirely afeove the water. This often happens fce» pleasure boats eap«i«-

All Immediately want to get out of thr water on top of tbe overturned or halftitled boat, and «H drowned except t)Mw whoan thm wrecked craft will wholly bear np. If tWcgr iwwld «tnpiy trust the watar to sttstw nin«tr-ai»e hundrrths of tbe weight of their lvodi«saad tbe disabled boat Ute other hundrrth, they ®ight all be mved under moKf^ ditouuSiffltt*.

An otettenMd «e wate^filted woioden boat will sustain more pec^plc iu this w»y lhaa it will carry. It would keep tbe bead* above water of as many sople could get their feud* oa tbe gunwale. These are simple Arts, crnDty lenmed, and ausy aauie day save yo«r Ufa.

What to Healthftal Exercise

Thia is a question wo propounded to one of our leading physicians yesterday. He didnot answer speaficaAy.

a sedentary occupation,1* said the doctor, fought not to take violent exercise. Exercise, like everything else that is good should be taken in moderation. That is the objection to rowing and kindred amusements. ITiey are not bealthftil because carried to excess. Horseback riding is good exercise so is walking. But whatever the form or excersise do not pursue it to extremes.''

There is a deal of sense in what the docto* says. Nearly all the great pugilists, base ly ii mil oarsmen, pedestrians, athletes and men who are specially trained for extraor*dinary feats of physical endurance,, break down early. Tney exhaust thefr stbek of vitality prematurely. It is tbe natural development that is the most enduring. What men need in every pursuit in life Is "staying powers," tenacity, longevity and evecess of muscular growth. Sudden spurts of strength impinge lightly upon either the economic oir moral results of life. For this reason we may prudently accredit that rule.the best which commands tons a moderate amount of physical exercise, and regular intervals as regards time and quality. Coasting, base ball, pedestriauism are none of them necessarily unhealthy On the eontrary they are healthful, and a delightful combination of recreation ami physical development. But how few use tnem wiseiy as tools for this purpose' The great majority indulge to excess. The excitement of the contest, tbe fierce requirements of rivalry, and the potency of example. carry the ehtbusiam to a high pitch, ana the physical frame is taxed to an injurious abgree.

No sane person denies the vnlue of food. It is essatffiaittfliffe: It is possible to live without esterase it i? not possible to live without food. And yet if a man were to. partake of food as he sometimes partakes ofj exercise he would be accounted a fool, for, if he fasted two or three davs and then gorged himself with all he could eat, be would be a speedy patient lor the physician. And yet, in so doing, he would only, be stepping into a parallel niche witli the! man whd takes rest and exercise in about that portidn of time aud intensity.

The up-building of physicial manhood and womanhood is one of the great privileges and duties of every human life. The future not only of individuals but of nations depends in lurge measure upon the wisdom of the rising and future generations iu this respect. Nature

ulds up by a

slow but continuous procw The vegetation that springs up in a night is comparatively valueless. The wood of steady and unintenipted growth has the best fibre. Kxercise, rightly used, is an element of human physical development. Wrongfully or immoderately used it is a bane.

Morgan's Murder.

COXFBSSIOX OF ON'E OP THE M17RDKBKHS UEPKATKD 10 HUB LOW WEED.

"I know how Morgan was killed," said Mr. Weed.4 and where and when he was killed, and who killed him. It was a dread/iil murder."

How do I know?" he asked, repeating my question.

kuow because the crimi

nals themselves confessed it to i^e before they died."

Is it possible?" 1 sajd. "Will you tell the public about it?" "Yes, I have told it partially before. It was in 1834, about five years after the sudden disappearance of Morgan, that on my trial for libeling the Masons two men volunteered to be my witnesses. One of these men was John Whituey.'*

I think Mr. Weed said the other was the man that had charge of the old fort where Morgan was con lined by his captors.

He went on: "1 invited them to eat some oysters with me after the trial, aud while we were at the table John Whituey consented, iu reply to our Urgency tomp.^eacleau breast of it al)Out tbe murder of Morgan. Ho declared the terrible secret had been a burden ou him day aud night, and then lie told who the men were who left the lodge one dark night to put Morgan out of the way, lest he might reveal the secrets of the order, lie said he was one of the men. The others were Col. Wm. King, Oarside, Howard aud Cliubbock. They weut to the fort bound the prisoner hand and foot, laid him in a boat, carried him to about the middle part of the Niagara river, where it was two miles to cither shore, and there, tying weights to his head aud feet, they tlnug him overlward. When he had told the story Whitney said he felt relieved. The other witness turned to him aud said 'John, Weed can hang you -now.' 'Yes,' said Whitney, 'but he won u' 1 thought much abotft my duty to the public, but it was obviously impossible to convict him unless lie would

say

solemnly in court what he

had" sn 1o iue« tmMm *if It wai» nearly thirty y#t* afterward when I met John Whitney in Chicago wbwi I was thpr* at tbe

Convention 1HKJ.

He came to me and said be wanted to rofcke a carefnl confession for me to write d#wn, to- lie pnWirfied after hi# death. There Was nnbnrty else he dared to trust to. be said. I agreed to commit his drradful secret to paper as soon aatbe Convention adjourned. Tbe botir it j^jouroed lie teas waiting for me «t tbe hotel, was in the det»Uxs of disappointment and wus bnsy with a hundred things, and 1 told Whitney that I should comeback to Chicago shortly and wonkl then attend to it. We exchanged letters after that, but he died stiddetdy and I nev«r saw Mm again.' ft* "The Chicago pamnO I said, "onplit to look up his relatives or friends there, and aeeff bo lfcft any docameut or told his secret, "Yes,'' lie replied. ^itwonld be well. It is strange, ly the way, that every one^ those five murderers is dead, and all but one died violent deaths. Col. King committed suicide, and Garside was kicked to death by a borne.
