From the New York Sun. rn is so far away in the shadowy deeps ace that the sun, which to us presents a disk as big asthe moon, blazing with unbear- able splendor and extinguishing every other light, appears from Saturn only as the chief of the stars. Saturn receives from the sun only that the earth receives. the earth, Venus. Mars, and even Jupiter, must. em ahappy family, basking together in the light and warmth of the sun. Then what an impression of solitude and repose comes from the slowness of his orbital motion. While the nearer planets are speeding like racers around the sun, Saturn remains year after year in the same constellation, and nearly'a whole genera- tion passes while he is making a single circuit.” “T have heard that Saturn is now closer to the earth than he has been before in nearly thirty .” the reporter said, t ix true.” the astronomer replied. nt the two nets From his distant orbit, “T9- are not much more than n oftheearth y_ increase its distance for six months, and then they will approach a: and be still nearer next fall, and nearer y ISS. After that Saturn will swing further ay from the sun and the earth, and astrono- will have to wait another generation ‘fore they can have as favorable views of turn as are now presented to us. The rings are now opened out so widely th: glass will reveal them. The amateur who has a modern four or tiv telescope. made by one of our best makers, can now obtain finer views of the won- de am Herschel When in 17823 went with one of his tele- < house to show him the he offset the disappoint of a cloudy. night by cutting a modet in pasteboard, fastening it at the bot- | tom of the garden wall,'and having it illumin- | ated with lamps. Herschel says of this device that the effect was very fine, and so natural that It might have deceived the best astrono- mers. Nobody who has ever seen Saturn with el ont device of that kind. ‘ow lovk at the astronomer add urn through the telescope,” . “and I will point out to of which astronomers all over the world will seize this tavorable opportunity.” The reporter looked, and saw in the fleld of the telescope a golden ball surrounded by two broad concentric rings, inclined to the line of sight so that their general outline was a long oval. There were delicately shaded zones on the bali, the color around the pole which was not hidden by the rings being a faint blue, while the equatorial zone was light yellow. The rings, too, bore delicate markings, the division between them appearing as a heavy black line, Circling outside the rings were several of the phunet’s moons. THE RINGS OF SATURN. “Look sharply along the inner edge of the inner bright ring,” sald the astronomer, ‘and you will see another ring, which {3 one of the most mysterious objects in all the heavens. It is not bright, like the others, but dark, resem- bling a strip of gauze stretched against the sky; and yet, that gauze-like ring is 8,000 or 9,000 miles broad, and more than 100,000 miles in di- ameter. There is no record of its ever having been seen earlier than the year 1838, although Saturn had been studied with some of the best telescopes in the world for half a century betore that.” The reporter saw the mysterious ring, and was surprised to perceive that it was partially transparent. The astronomer explained that this had been accounted for on the supposition that the rings are composed of a multitude of little satellites revolving in about the same 1 nd that in the gauze ring these satellites are comparatively so few in number that the appears transparent. “But,” he added, ct is, we don’t Know what those rings * and if anybody ig able during the present able opposition of the planet to throw any t on the question all astronomers will unite thanking him. But there is one strange and rtling thing about those rings which pos- pecial interest. Some thirty years ago omer Struve collected data which eem to show that the rings are rapidiy ap- yroaching the planet, and will touch it or fall in ut the year 2150. If such a catas- uld oceur, some of our great-gre: 4 Ichildren may live long enough to witness it.” 1S SATURN INHABITED? “Do you suppose Satarn hasany inhabitants?” the reporter asked. ‘Well, that’s a question that has been a good deal debated, of such a magnificent planet being inhabited is something that has had a powerful charm for the human imagination ever since the inven- tion of the telescope. Swedenborgsaid Saturn was inhabited by an upright and modest race, and his description of how they lived, taking little care for food or raiment, but subsisting upon the natural productions of their planet, and beholding those wonderful rings as a strange whiteness in the sky, is very curious reading. The facts cf physical astronomy as at present understood, seem to indicate that the inhabitants uf the ‘solar system are collected upon the fnner and smaller planets, of whieh the earth is the chief, and that the outer and larger planets like Jupiter and Saturn have not yet reached an inhabitable condition. Some of the reasons, however, which .lead us to think that Saturn fs not an inhabitable worlddo | net to his eight moons. If they have in- . 4 celestial scene unmatched so fat as in the whole universe is opened to This is particularly true of the ich is furthest from the planet, for its orbit is so inclined to the plane of Saturn's equator that the inhabitants, if there are any, rhold the great globe of the planet and the cnificent rings suspended in space before their ad covering a large portion of the ne truth swe are not very likely to find out whether Saturn supports any inhabitants or not. At best we can only ascertain whether the planet is in a condition which would make it inhabitable according to our ideas. But, in- habited or not, Saturn must possess great interest for us. Distant as it 1s, it belongs to the same family of worlds with our earth. The sun is carrying these worlds along with it in its flight through space, and, in a large sense, they all have the same destiny. When ‘we attempt to reach out into the universe with our telescopes we find it is so inconceivably im- mense that even the most distant members of the solar system seem like near neighbors— companions in our journey through space.

The gentleman who devotes his days to the puncturing of his wife's epidermis is a sailor, or has been one, and has imbibed fo’- castle notions of art, together with his knowl- edge of tattooing. Accordingly, his wife’s arms, legs and body look as if she had had a violent eruption of flags, tombstones. allegorical figures and moral and patriotic mottoe “God bless our homes,” *Procrastinatfon is the thief of time” and “The Union forever,” fill up the interstices between :Melpomene, Calypso and the grave of Phomis: JeiTenson;: while a large tri-color adorng the ticlittitizh!, and a free-hand sketch of @.man-o-war. is}: pricked Into the left. Scores of designs, no two of which are alike, have been engraved (so to speak) in the flesh, and the vacant spaces are being filled in day by day by others. “Can I see you put on anew picture?” asked the reporter. . The tattooer carefully wetted a small camel’s- hair brush In some India ink, commonly so called, but which he explained was really Chi- nese ink, and began to examine his subject to see where he should begin. After: turning her around two or three times he selected a smal] white spot on her left shoulder blade, ‘and fay idly sketched a heart punctured bya Cupid's arrow. Then he chose one of several buuches | of needles and began to prick the ink in. “Igo just deep enough to draw blood,” said he; “‘whien that comes I stop. Then it imme- diately swells up like this,” and he pat his finger on a raw sore ou her arm. ‘After three or four | days the scab comes off, and it looks like this,” and he put his finger on her left knee, where there was an angry-looking blotch of the shape | of abird. “Then the skin peels off ‘twice, and in about a week or more it is all done. The woman undergoing the tattooing is the daughter of a well-to-do farmer in Pennsylvania, and is supported by remittances trom home, while her husband is devoting himself to gar- nishing her for her debut. As soon as she shall have been sufficiently bedizened, which he thinks will be in a few-weeks, she is to fulfill an engagement of a year at $20.a week, Some- thing like the first’ year’s receipts have been used upwhile she has been undergoing the tor- ture of preparation, but she calculates, unless the fashions in tattoo change, to be an attrac- tion in any “‘show” for the rest of her life. SiMe SS A Beecher Fish Story. From the New York Herald, 18th. Mr. Beecher told a pretty hard “fish story” to his people at the Plymouth prayer-meeting last evening. He said that whenever his father went down to Guilford, Conn., to visit his wife’s rela- tives he used to think of nothing but finding a good place to catch trout. In acertain pool was a particularly large trout, and for years the old gentleman vainly tried to hook him, Finally, during one of his annual visits, he saw the old trout’s fins sticking out of the water in a shady spot under the bank. The reverend angler bethought him that he had heard or read that fish be tickled and captured with the He softly slipped a hand into the ater under the motionless fish and slightly tickled its belly with his finger tips. It shot a little distance off, but returned almost tmme- diately, and Pere Beecher moyed his band lightly along its scales until approaching the gills he slipped his forefinger in and jerked the surprised trout high and dry upon the bank. The fish weighed three pounds. Mr. Beecher told this story with such dramatic torce, and so cleverly imitated the old gentleman peering into the pool and reaching his arm down into the water, that when he pulled it up a rustle of excitement was noticeable in the meeting. Mr. Beecher’s unconscious mimicry in another part of his discourse led him to make a pose anda grimace which would have delighted one of his caricaturists. He said that his Friday night congregation was like a brood of callow robins sitting in a nest with eyes shut and mouths open, waiting for him to drop in a worm. '. Beecher shut his own eyes, opened his mouth to the fullest, and sat a moment with face upturned, looking as much like a trophe which will involve the whole system of which the sun is the center; and so we cannot oes 8e} codes from these other worl are not merely denizens of a world, but of a system of worlds, the gravitating power of one sun.
