NOA MN AND Laz _ Lombard ear treatment and und=toubly to .noitona or the I4tarw, Among the stars, s ome are moving directly towards - the earth; others are traveling di rectly away from us; but their distance is so great that thousands of years must elapse be fore we can detect any change in their posi tion by the telescope. The determination of this fact has long been a question among astronomers, but now it has been accom plished by means of the spectroscope, and we make it known as a most important astrono mical discovery. Mr. Huggins, F. It. S., - whose spectroscopic' investigations of stars and nebula) are well kuown, is able to de termine with his instrument whether a star -approaches or recedes. In the former case the naves of light which come to us from the star appear somewhat shortened; in the other case they appear lengthened. As a familiar illustration, .when a boat is rowed against the wind, the ripples seem shorter to a person sitting in the boat, and longer in the contrary direction. So with the waves: of light; by the difference in the refrangibility of the light from the star, .Mr. Haggles is enabled to determine whether the star is going or coining; and he has made known two interesting facts. One is, that the motion (if any)of the nebutte, whether from or towel& the earth, is too slow to btt de tected by the spectroicope; and that Siritis, one of the brightest stars, is approaching our solar system at the rate of nearly thirty miles a second. - ' It 1., :' ' ..

These men were tried separately, and he) made partial confessions of their crime, Two or three perlods'were axed for their execa ion, but the Governor respited thorn until to. avy, , w ben they will all be hung-together. TUE STORY OF TUE &ERRORS Fred) the evidence given on the trial of the prisoners themselves, and their confessions at various times, the whole story of the crime is I fully known, down to the slightest detail, and it I will be found to justify all we have said of its terrible character, while its moat striking pa enitarity b that it seems to have been committed wholly without any of the great impelling causes that usually move men to the commission of clime. The negroes may have expected to get .ou,e money, and we think some of them did; Art they did not expect much; or positively know of any that could be got by their crime. None of them, unless it were Rounds, seellid have any cause for vengeance against Capt. .lehroon, and though both Wilson and Wells bore grudges against the mate, they were to neither coati tuck as results. In that deop-seated hatred which is the soil out of which murder grows. The story, as we gather it from the evidence and cnnfeeelons, is as follows: William Wells had been , engaged in working for Captain Johnson since October. 1867; Wilson had been with him about a month, and Bailey .bunt three months. Frank R..nads waa ehipped n Baltimore about a month before the murder, and after receiving a month's wages in advance ue had run away and shipped on another vessel; on which he was dbeovered by Wells. On the Monday before the murder Captain Johnson went aboard the vessel on which Rounds 'was and chimed him as his hand. This Rounds admitted, anti Captain Johnson then took him aboard the Breve. On account of the stormy weather they did no more dredging that week, or on Sunday or Monday. Oil Monday, the captain and mate went ashore to a store, and while they were gone, Retinas asked if the captain bad any money, and su,g eeeted that they "HZ him." We say Rounds, be :atite the evidence and confessions of all the others fix on blue the charge of originating the plot. He, however, denied it all along, and in elated that Nilson proposed:the plot. After the captain and mate came from the store, they went, aboard another vessel lying about three hundred yards from the Brave, and while they were there the negroes moditled their original plot, and resolved to kill the captain and mate as they came over the side of the vessel. To carry this re oltation into effect, they pre pared bludgeons out of cord wood. sticks which %ere 7 or 8 inches in circumference at the larger end. One of them was shaved off to give a bet ter hold to the assassin's band. Having thus deliberately prepared themselves for the bloody deed, the Degrees returned to the hold, in which were their gUarters, to await the return of their victims. Here some of them fell asleep, while others neglected to watch, and the captain and mate returned, and got on deck be fore'the crew knew It. The captain called ,the men' to haat aboard the punt or small boat.which they did. The captain then called Rounds and Ilaiiey to go forward wilt him to help cast another anchor, as he expected a hard blow. The three went forward together, while the mate went to the cabin. TUB M QRDEB As they approached the bow of the vessel, Holmes picked up his club and fell behind Reachleg the bow, the captain stooped to fix the chutooiod while he Wag still In this position, swift as lightning iteutada's ponderous club was brought down upon his head, and he fell to the deck without a groan. ' , Wilson and Wells had, meanwhile, followed the mate to the cabin, each armed with a heavy club. As soon as they came within roach, Wells struck him a heavy bloW across the forehead. Wilton struck next, lint in his haste his blow. do sed edcd nu Wells Inateed of the mate. Ells neXt blow, bont,vvr, struck the mate on the tack hued, and another struck him about the head.

Rounds was:lying with blabreast to the floor, reading a hyren book, with' a smoked-out pipe lying beside it. Bailey wail curled up, smoking a little black pipe, the very picture, of perfect satisfaction. We did not talk to them, as we boo been informed that , they were busy attending to thelispiritual welfare. Wilson and VVella were also tying on the floor, and both seemed (mite communicative. They talked freely about the crime, told the part each had played in It, and both averred that Frank Rounds originated the plot. The story, as they tell it, does not ma terially vary from th at given 'above. To be Couthmed to the Foot* Edition. PRESIDENT GRANT'S INAUGURAL OPINIONS OP TEN PRESS The Philadelphia Journals. The Ledger thinks it is thrief, clear and dispas sionate, and jut what the bulk of the people would expect inch a man to say. He takes the oath of (Alice "with the determination to do," to the best of , his ability, all that it requires of him. It is easy to see in these words. General Grant bad well conaidered the word's of the oath, Mat he folly . comprehended their 'solemn im portance, in requiring him to "faithfully execute the office of President," and that hots determined to do it. The Age says: The address is not belligerent in ite tone, but in general terras promlats and de mands equity in our dealiugs with foreign powers. 'lnking it altogether, as• the utterance a President - nut elected by the constitutional party, tail lout forward by. the enemies of bee constitutional government. to erudite them t' , tide over an election, we think they have more mason to he discontented with the Inaugural than we have. llieTrebident asks the pravers of Me nation to Almighty God, and the efforts of every- citizen, for the cementing of a b tpliy Union of the titan's. - No human Inatrunaunt 11111 be more effectual to that end, than General tiraut OUR.

What in Lite general prospect? It in one Lull of promise, prosperity, progress, develop tient, and power at borne nud abroad. And so opens the new book of American history. The Weiid is very querulore3, as follows : The only respect In which this empty and sett-con fident address Is of any importance, bin Vie evi dence it furnishes that General Grant does not intend to have-any sellous differences with the Republican party. With an its self-assertion tie inaugural Is really very servile. It hadorses all the favorite matures and dogmas of the Ito• publican party, except the Tenure-of-011kt) act; and on that the party is known to be about equally divided. All his independence is exhausted in the mere empty proclamation of it; he hen not had the real independence to differ from his party in any particular. Aside from its tune of iii-beseeca ing gill-confidence, General Grant's Inaugural is a mere echo of the tritest common-places of the Republican newspapers. We challenge his ad mirers to point out a single idea which ho has contributed to the threadbare stock from which he drew the materials of his address. The Times speaks as follows: The character's ice which distingnieh General grant, and com mand the confidence which marks his entrance upon the duties of the Executive, are conspicu ous In hie inaugural address. It is brief, cleir, inpbatic and to the purpose. It touches gresc ants, indiestes great duties and propounds a .:reat poliCy with a distinctness that leaves noth tug in doubt, and the force of true-born earnest dteS. Gen. Grant had something to say, and he nas said It strongly and well. The Tribune says : The simplicity and dire:A ces of the inaugural address wilt be grateful. Ileac wto doubt this man's statemanship should .nalyze his brief speech, and see whether he has . ett anything unsaid. * * What we hope to receive from Gen. Grant le a opleirdid admiluzetratien.

The New York l'ribuna's correspondent in Washington has the following: The chief difficulty:was in the obtaining of a satiable building but after refining to mot a temporary one, jailing to get the use or the Capi tol's magnificent Rotunda, and stately old Hall of the House of Representatives, they finally ob tained the use of the neßly-completed north wing of the magnificent Treakury building. Tire social furies -subsided, and the ruffled . plumage of all anxious ladyhood was Wean/ed. We were to have a hall, and the efficient committee in charge of the eon-official ceremonies haVe Worked with hear- th et good will to make it a splendid success. They must have been highly gratified to-night, *km regarding the brilliant scene presented within and without the building, radiant in color, glowing with light, brilliant like tropical flowers or the plumage of humming birds, and ever shifting and varying like a many-hued and con stantly-changing kaleidoscope. Entering from the street, the guests found themselves In a long corridor on the lower floor, to the right of which was one of the four dancing halle, prepared for those who participated in the witching manes of the dunce. To the left was he elegant supper-room. Three staircases gave admittance to the upper floors, the whole three of which were thrown open to the participants. Tem porary balustrades had been ereeted;and draped in the : national , tri-colers, and festooned with ever greens; with the floods of • light that fell, and the radiant crowds that, like two strestruistrown with summer llowere r passed up and down; the stair eases were In themselves a brilliant scene. On the second floor an orchestral stand, was erected,. and here the famous Marine Band discoursed sweet music. The visitor tarried not here, bat the ladies hastened to the next floor, where, ample dressing rooms were arranged, the gentle men's being on the next or attic floor above. The dreesing-room arrangements were complete, and the indica were provided with seamstresses and! coiffeurs ready to the call. Oa this floor were a suite of four elegant rooms,opening lathe north, la tended as conversation rooms. At the east end of the corridor was the dancing hall, 80 by 20 feet, a similar one to which was on each floor, and with the Treasurer's room, wrung the State, gw Eta assembled, formed an area of nearly 7,000 teet. The telegraph was brought into regaial lion, and order and 4 F ,morty reigned supreme. Each bail had bind of music, and the whole were under control of the master of ceremonies, who from the lower floor tapped the electric key, not waced his baton, and the swee. sound swelled out with perfect accord and unity. The long, broad corridors, with their teseellattat pavements, cool, ereamy-hued walls, dated columns, whose capitals and flutes pricked with gold brightened end rcheved the eye, afforded most excellent pranenudes, which were made ample use of. On the second floor admission was obtained to the balcony of the Treasurer 'e flail, a magnificent Ino•etoried apartment, 60 by 80 feet, which was eLe centre of attraction in the early hours of the evening, as the ceremonial reception of the Pre eicential and Vice-Presidential parties by the Committee took place there. The scene from the balcony was a most brilliant one. Tee apart ment , glowed and gleamed like some ancient gustern ball, with its polished panels of marble from the quarries of Sienna and Tennes ree, reflecting back in their almost burnished sur faces,,the brilliant light which lit the, scene,and flo.4ed the unests below. At either end - the un heisted wails were draped in the radiant hues of the IA color, and at the east end was a large alle eolical painting of Peace, which formerly hung in the Capitol. Opposite this Hall, which, after the State reception terminated, was open to dano ing,were suites of elegant rooms reserved for the pill/ate receptions of the President and Vice Pre sident and their families, end for the use of their prrronal friends. The N. Y. Times says: At 10.15 the Vice President entered with his and modestly took the shortest route to the private room assigned to him. He was fol lowed twenty minutes later by the President, who hurriedly passed through the lice of anxious sightseers, leaning on the arm of Senator Mor mon. The crowd at this moment completely Oiled Ike corridor leading to the room where the Prt sident had retired, and the services of the po lice force were called Into requisition before a pathway could be forced for the passage of the w officers to the rooms anove. In a sew moments the doors ot private rooms were opened and the occupants marched out, two or three of the Committee oving in the van. They were President Grant at a Senator Morgan, Mrs. Grant with General Trocuas, Vice President Colfax and lady, Mrs. Matthews of the Colfax family, Speaker Blaine fild John W. Forney following. Teen came the ',net ntatives of foreign nations, all attired in citizens, dress, with their ladles. The Marine hard struck up a now and beautiful march, com posed by their leader, Prof. Scala, and dedicated to the new President. The distinguished party moved rapidly along through the crowded corridors op the winding stairways from one floor to anoteer, and finally halted in one of the upper dancing rooms. The enthusiasm which greeted them was sincere and heartielt,aud many were the prayerful utterances which were spoken as they p..ssed along, In behalf of the men to whom the country looks for its, guidance for the next four years. As to the dancing, although there were enough votaries of the art in attendance to have made filly ordinary balls ' and although there was no lack of music, still the greater trod of the throng, until midnight. seemed to prefer the promenade. When, however, the dancing-room floors could by I.ersuaaion of the floor-managers be cleared for five minutes, the younger portion of the as re:mbly took possession and would hold it till the spectators by degrees collected in such pressing eumbers as to impede all efforts in the dancing line. It was not until the crowd was lessened by the departure of the rheumatic portion of the as rembly that the dancing began in earnest, and which at this present writing is In full progress. Poersenutr, 2A. M.—The scene at the ball cow baffles all description. The crowd, has de generated into a perfect crash. The confusion in the cloak rooms is beyond coneeptibn. Hun dreds of gentlemen are leaving the building with out coats or hats, and ladles, faint with exhaus tion, are In vain waiting or making fruitless arch for their outside wrappings. In Fifteenth street there is a bedlam among the hackmen, and if the guests are successful enough to find their clothing, it is only to find they have lost the means of getting home. Everything to day has been a great success. But the inaugura tion ball to-night is too' much of a success to be really a good thing. A Needy Bohemian's Will. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The death Is announced of a writer and Bohemian named Cheyennes, who, as ayoung man,gave mush promise, and indeed seems at one time to have attained a position of some eminence. But, according to Henry Marge; there' are two main roads in Bohemia, one of which leads to the French Aeadensy,the other to the Mei Dieu. Ohavannes took the road to the Hatel Dieu, and died there last week. By way of keeping up his character he had the lamentable courage to make a berlesque will, whi-h Was found under his bolster, and which could scarcely, we should think, m the any tine laugh.

Bishop Kingsley, of the Methodist Cher*. is a very sensible man, as witness the follow ing extract from an address-by him on, subject of church music: There is one practice, -however,, generally associated with instrumental music, which certainly ought to be discoatinued. it beano redeeming feature, bat is only evil, and that continually. I allude to the habit, Menet universal in this country, of playing an iii— terlude between each two stanzas of the hymn. These interludes- are p3Sitilre nuisances, in every light in. which• they flint be viewed. In wealthy churches, where tie organist is a tine performer, the thing is deno te show off. And weaker mei—poor& churches keep up the practice to :be in the fashion. Many of our very beat hymns form a continuous and connected discoures from beginning to sad. Many of there-are most earnest prayers, others earnest exhorta tions. Others embody sound Christian eipe rience, and others set forth in a glowiaglight the plan of salvation, and so on. The sense is often incomplete at the end of a verse,"aid the hearts of all true worshippers me pre pared by what has gone before for what is to come. Just then the connection is 'ePoiled„ the continuity of thought and feeling !shaken up, by a diddling interlude. Every de vout worshipper feels it to be an incongruity and an infliction, and is glad when it is over. so that the worship of • God can proceed: How beyond all comparison better is into sing right through! With persons , to whom those hymns are familiar, one verge.- calla up the next; but by the time the laterlthilo is finished, we have generally forgotten the connection. Why shuold the tune, any more than the words, he banished from the mind and heart at the end of every verse? Why aftEitli the warm glow of devotional feeling be chilled by a cold bath every two or three minutes? But it is said the singers heel tiMe to take breath. This is but a flimsy reason for perpetuating a fashionable folly. Ho* comes it to pass that people become so short winded all of a sudden? Troops of muelolifia go through the country, singing pieces three times as long as the average of bycaus,'itl so manage as not to get out of breath. There is more reason why the preacher shoull stop every few minutes- to , get -.llis breath, and yet a public( s;asals.er address an audience for . hours together without resorting to any interlude. It is to be hoped that the time will , never come when the ministry will become so short-winded'as to need to stop at the end of every three or four sentences, and drum on a hoard 'with their knuckles, or resort to any other equally silly subterfuge. in order to take breath. The thing looks ridiculous enough now, because it is not the fashion. The great masters_of music, both in America and in Europe, de-- spise these interludes. They are unscientific as they-'are inconvenient, and hurtful to the spirit of genuine worship, and the _moil' at tractive and most efficient church music dis penses with them entirely..
