KUiSSELL’S PL A NETARIU M.
This wonderful piece of mechanical
and scientific skill, our readers are aware,
was destroyed by fire, at Providence,
alx»ut a fortnight since. The Boston i’ost,
in speaking ol it, says :
“The loss in dollars has been estima
ted at ten thousand, but that is a poor
wav, indeed, to calculate the loss which
elementary astronomy has suffered by its
destruction. The inventor and const! uc
torofthe Planetarium devoted many years
of studious thought and almost incessant
labor to its production. Thousands of
dollars were expended upon it, and at last,
the patient and persevering experimenter
was rewarded bv a complete, and so far
as mechanical ingenuity could do it, in the
present state of astronomical science, a
perfect model of the solar system, show
ing, with exactness and beautiful precis
ion, die revolutions of the different plane
tary bodies around the sun, their diurnal
motion, the motion of the satellites or
moons, &c. The operation of the machi
nery was beautiful, .and conveyed, at one
glance, a more correct idea of our system
than whole days of paddit study.
The Plan* larium was a triumph of A
merican genius and American industry. It
stood alone a proud and noble contribution
to'the science of astronomy. It belonged
to America, ami should have been depos
ited, as an enduring monument to the in
ventor and the land he had honored, in
some public depository under the owner
ship of government. Rut it was suffered
to go almost a begging. In Europe, its
merits were known, and it was sought for.
A good price was offered for it there, and
the proprietors determined, even at some
sacrifice of time and money, to give the
people of this country an opportunity to
behold this great creation of one of their
own countrymen, before it should he ta
ken from the land. And is. this laudable
and praiseworthy work they were enga*
ged when the destroying element hurst
upon them—and the l’lanetai ium is a
thing that was.
Additional attractions were used by the
proprietors, in their exhibition of the Plan
etarium, tending to illustrate it. The
gran I urannrnma, or moving telescopic
view .if the heavens, covering a space of
.'■>,ooo square feet of canvass, and icprc
si ming upwards of two hundred thousand
distant objects; the proper motion and
position of our earth and moon, with the
other planetary bodies in the stellar uni
verse ; exact appearances ol several of the
most celebrated comets; immense clns
tets of remarkable nebulae, &cc. &c. This,
with other apparatus of a similar nature,
comprising the most brilliant and splendid
diagrams of the solar system, and sidereal
heavens, were totally consumed by fire,
leaving the enterprising proprietors desti
tute of the means of prosecuting their val
uable and instructive labors.’’
A beautiful refection. —It cannot be that
earth is man’s abiding place. It cannot
be that our life is cast by the ocean of eter
nity to float a moment upon Us waves,
and sink into nothingness. Else why is
it, that the high and glorious aspirations
which lead like angels from the temple of
the heart, are forever wandering about
unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow
and the cloud conic over us with a beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off’ and
leave us to muse upon their faded loveli
ness ? Why is it that the stars, which;
hold their "feslals around the midnight
throne,”,are set above the grasp of our li
mited faculties, forever mocking us with
their unapproachable glory ? And, final
ly, why is it that the bright forms of hu
man beauty are presented to our views,
and then taken from us leaving the thou
sand streams of our affection to flow back
in alpine torrents upon our hearts? We
ure born fora higher destiny than that of
earth ; there is a realm where the rain
bow never fades; where stars will be
spread out before us, like Islands that
slumber on the ocean; and where the
beautiful beings which here pass before
us like shadows, will stay in our presence
forever.
Insanity. —It is very hard to draw the
line between an insane and a sane state of
mind, and indeed it is difficult to define
what insauitv is. Some consider it a state
of misconception, a false conception of
things. It is true that erroneous concep
tion of things constitutes the principal in
gredient of madness or insanity. Insane
persons generally reason right, but take
wrong premises. Thus, ari insane man
will conceive that the whole world have
conspired to poison him to death. This is
a wrong conception, but how does lie act
and reason in this case ? Why, the same
as any man would ; he does not eat any
thing whatever, and although he persists
in this course till he starves himself to
death, yet he ac ts in accordance to right
reason in regard to prevention of being
poisoned.
Tlje impressions and notions which
some persons lake are very singular and
curious. We have somewhere read of a
man who was tormented and made very
wretched by the number 3. Whenever
that fatal figure or number presented itself,
it threw him into great trouble. He took
a fancy to buy a watch which he saw
hanging up in a pawnbroker’s shop in
London, which caused him six month’s
misery. Some time after, on winding it
up, he perceived that it was number 333,
and that, in addition to all this, the pawn
broker’s house was No. 33, and what
mollified him still more, he recollected'
that be paid three guineas for it. This
completely unhinged him, and after suf
fering half a year intense misery, he made
a journey of two hundred miles to the
pawnbroker’s in London, and sold it to
him again for two guineas, and from that
moment became well. —Maine Funner.
There is a law among the yfrabs that
permits a man to divorce any of the four
wives allowed him who docs not make
good bread. ,
Fun au/l Physiology. —“ 3\ hy, wliat is
the cause of that mercurial Frenchman’s
eternal croaking?” asked a young medi
cal student of a Creole gentleman in the
St. Louis Exchange, New Orleans, a few
days since. [He alluded to a very small
man with very large whiskers, who was
using very vehement gestures, and predic
ting in very desponding terms, as he has
been t*>r years, the immediate downfall of
Louis Phillippe.]
The Creole, who is a wag,looked sig
nificantly mysterious at the querist, and
bringing his face near bis organ of bear
ing, said in a subdued voice, “You ask
me what is the cause of his croaking so—
do vou ?”
“Ido,” saiti the son of Galen, “per
haps the information may illustrate some
unrevcaled principle in the animal econ
omy.”
“ Haven't a doubt but it will,” said the
Creole, still talking in whispering tones;
“ then, the cause of his eternal croaking
is, he dines every day on frog soup C
The young doctor seemed overjoyed
it the discovery, and said at the next ses
sion of the medical college he would lay
before the board an essay on the direct in
iluence ol’ the gastric juices o\er the ner
vous system.

PROSPECTUS OF THE

Having been induced, at the solicitation id some
of the members of the Democratic party. In take
charge ol the Republican Press in this place, vc
will hereafter, on every Friday morning, issue a
Democratic paper, under the above title, at the ci
lice oflho kite “ Wilmington Messenger,’’ in the
town of \V ilmington.
As we have given a btief outline of the ptinei
plcs the “Journal” will advocate in our first num

political doeliinesit will he our constant anil ear
nest endeavour to inculcate. On the present oc
casion, therefore, we will merely state, thal the
Journal will he the uncompromising opponent <>l
each ami every ‘link’ in the whole ol the ‘great
chain’ ol \Yhig nicasities—a United States Back
—a Protective Tariff—the Bankrupt Act—lnter

Constitution, thereby ensuring the rights ol the se
veral Stales which compose Ihe Confederacy. ”"t
we set out with the idea of not going into dditi s.
It would he a needless tax upon the readers mue.
Suffice it to sav, that the Journal will he a Demo
cratic paper, anil willalways advocate Deiimnano

Although the Journal will be a political pn|C,
yet, in order that it may also be agreealne to tne
general reader, its columns will always he o| eu
