Che Halifax Herald remarks on a letter published by Mr. Symes, contradicting the anfavorable ramor :— ‘* Whatever Mr. Symes’ financial stand- img may be, it is undeniable that he is ex- citing a very great amount of interest all over the Lower Provinces in a very lmpert-

‘* Wonders of the Heavens.” Rey. ©. Collins, of Pennsylvania, re- cently preached a sermon of inquiry as te the ominous astronomical indications for 1881-2, whieh is attracting considerable attention. In this discourse he presented a summary ef astronomical facta and com- ments, which we cepy as follows :—

“The year 1881 will be ove of remark- able interest from an astronomical stand- point, for during this year the planets of our system will reach a point in their orbits not attained (some astronomers tell us) for 6,000 years, while others say that a similar combination oecurred about 1800 years ago.

The sun is the centre of our syatem, and around the grand celessal star, which is nearly a million and a half times larger than the earth, and abcut 350,000 times as heavy, revolve all of our planeta, each apparently going regardless of all ethers, and yet all bound together by that mutual attraction, commonly ealled gravitation. Each planet has an orbit independent of the others, and goes on its journey regard- less of what ils meighbors may be deing. These orbits differ relatively every month, so that astronomers find it at once fascin- ating and profitable, to figure out the relative positions occupied by each at @ given time.

To the uninitiated it seems almest mir- aculous that a ‘‘ star gazer” should be able to tell just when an eclipse is to oceur, but when we consider that planets move just like a majestic clock, each orb geing its round as a part of the grand celestial mechanism, making just such a distance in such a time, it ceases tu be more than a study, which has been mastered by atten- tion and application.

Just now the heavens ere full ef interest, for all the planets are drawing ‘nearer to the point at which they are to reach Sunday morning, June 19, 1881, at about three o'clock. At that> heur the stars will bein Taurus, and will be in this posi- tion :—

10* x* 7* o* 5* 4* 3% * Sun. Qt 9* 1* o* 1. Earth, 5. Mars 9. Uranus. 2. Moon. 6. Jupiter. 10. Aleyone. 3. Mereury. 7. Saturn. BUN

4. Venus, & Neptune.

By this it will be observed that all the planets, Uranna alone excepted, will be arrayed with the Sun and Moon, against our little earth. We know what an effect even the Moon, small as it is, has on our tides; then what must be the result, when so many, aggregating many miliien times larger than the earth, shall-be pulling against it.

Another feature, which should ust be overlooked, is this! Directly in range with these planets is Aleyoné, or ete Tauri, the central star of the Pleiades. This star is said to be the grand centre of the universe of worlds we see swinging around us on a clear might ; and a few have gone se far as to lecate Heaven itself on this star. The fact that this star also seems to take a hand in tugging at the earth makes it look all the mere ominous.

Attempts have been made to shew that the builders of the Pyramid of Egypt had an eye to this conjunction, and that it was so placed, that at this particular time. Draconia or Mazzaroth passes the meridian of the entrance passage of this great Pyra- mid. We know that the Egyptians were great star-gazers, and that they kmew the heavens like a boo. ; but it is not strain- ing a point to suppose that they had an idea of the grand event? It will not be believed by everyhedr Chis transit marks a quarter era on the

ef our siderial heavens, which is aise in- dicated by Alcyone, the supposed centre. It would take too much space to specu- late upom the results of thie remarkable grouping of the planets.

This afternoon the death of Harrisen Stevens, a well-knewn millionaire, was an- nounced. He was probably the largest real estate owner in the ceuntry. He was ill for several months. His wealth is vari- ously estimated, but it caunet be short of three million dollars. He is the owner of the Ottawa Hetel here, and considerable property in New York and elsewhere. He was’ born in Jamaica, Vermont, in 1801, and came to Montreal in 1828, where he went inte the grocery business in 1830. The Banks ef Montreal! refused to discount a single dollar for him. His action was eharacteristic. He drew specie in large amount fer some time, making ene large draft of $1,154,000, which he himself took in two sleighs to New York, netting 2 per cent on the transaction. This, brought the bank to terms. He was at one time & partner of the late Hon. John Young, in the firm of Stephens, Young & Co., which was dissolved in 1847. Sinee then he has devoted himself largely to speculating in real estate and loaning meney. He leaves three sons one of whem is Alderman C. W. Stevens.
