that he Pie dent has most efecluaIly siashea

Mr. Clay will find that not more than three

But Mr.. Clay overlooked one important thing
the virtue of the PEOPLE; without the support
OF the People, TO man can be made President.
II the President was without a party, he was
not without People. The PEOPLE OF his

GESrLEMEs Your note Of the 22d inst, respect
ing the publication Of lottery advertisements in the
newspaper called the " Ocean, has been received
You complain that Postmasters charge letter postage
on that paper, when found to contain these adyer-
tisements, and ask that the supposed error may be
corrected.
Postmasters, In exactins letter postage upon lot
terry advertisements, act in conformity TO an existing
order OF the Department issued on 3lst October
1896, in the following words;
In all cases where dealers in lottery tickets
brokers, and others, with the obvious and palpable
intent TO evade the payment Of postage in their cor
resPondence, and not 10 disseminate general intel-
sence send out their lottery schemes. and other
matters % private concern, in printed sheets having
the form and some Of the leading characteristics Of
newspapers, the said papers are TO be taken and con-
sldered as handbls, chargeable with letter postage
whatever forms they may be made to assume, aud
although as cover for the intended fraud they NAV
contain quantity Of general matter"
1his regulation certainly was not designed to ar
rest the regular circulation of established n.wspa
pers, nor Is 1t believed TO have had that effect in any
instance. II was intended TO prevent a fraud upoi
the Post Office revenue, which was becoming bur-
densome, IN the circulation under newspaper postage
only, Of mail matter which was properly chargeable
with letter postage. IL is sometimes quite as diff
cult to prevent evasion Of the law as TO check IL,
open violation. Lottery dealers do not now attempt
to send their circulars and schemes as such through
the mails but have, in some instances procured the
printing of their schemes, &C., in the form Of news.

That wo have fallen..on strange times, so far as
the moral, civil, religious and physical world of
man is concerned, no one in his senses will deny
But, as it ever has been, under all unusual excite
ments in parts of the world, there are thousands
Of fanatics, ho, not understanding the phenomena
exhibited on the face of nature, are themselves
distressed; and, by their continual expression of
fear they have disturbed the peace of Others until
our prints and pulpts, re-sides and social circles
are replete with prophecies Of famine. War, Pes
thence, Earthquakes, and even that last great dra-
ma, the end of all things.
Several recent circumstances seem to have COM
bined to produce this state Of feeling viz, the pre-
dictions Of Mr.. Miller the shaking Of tho earth at
different places the unusual number Of shipwrecks,
the unexamped severity and length of tho winter,
and finally, that strange sheet Of light, which has
been seen far awny, in the deep, blue sen Of ether,
and following in the paths Of the sun, until like
him, it was drowned in the Pacific wave. Yet,
notwithstanding thcse unusual occurrences, we are
fully persuaded that "the end is not yet" In fact
these very signs, which the superstitious adduce
to prove tho truths Of their positions, are evidences
incontroyertibe against them. Y
The words of sacred writ which stand at the
head Of this chapter. deny that man knoweth the
uay or snOur, III Wncn nature IS TO DO dlSSC lyed,
and time to end. But Mr.. Miller avoids this OBJ
jection, by admitting that he knows "neither the
day the hour" not even the month, but insists
most strenuously thai he does know the year. Adj
init it-yield that point for moment, and are
there no other passages in tho inspired volume
which equally confute his notions? What is the
general tenor Of the Scriptures on this subject?
It is declared that the Son Of man cometh in such
an hour as ye think not--that the Lord cometh in
an hour, in which the OWL servants are not aware;
and again. it is said, that, he will come as thief
in the night.
Arc we then authorized TO believe that even,
the precise year will be known to any man, an
hour, nay the twinking Of an eye, before the con-
sumatonl Would il be like thief ia the niglx,
to have the fact announced ia thousand pa pc rs,
proclaimed by thousand ofdtors, md to be writ
ten in letters Of living light on the very heavens?

Subsequent observations may enable us to deter
mine whether or not this spot was the nebua OF
a comet.
The wind was high and the sun unobscurcd af
ter ~ A. NJ. and, though the day was very un-
favorable for observations, search for the Come,
was diligently removed. 1t could not be soen
From sunset till the stars came out, our teIe-
scopes were intently pointed to the western sky.
with the hopes Of catching at least a glimpse OF
the Comet through tho fading twilight. But we
were compelled 10 content ourselves with admir-.
ing the wonderful beauty AMI grandeur of its train
the first traces of which wero seen at Oh. 2m, 81.
derial time. At 6h. -2Sm. its greatest breadth
was deg. 40 mIn., as nearly as could be ascer.
tanned, for the bright moonlight rendered tho mea.
surement imperfect. Tho curve, before describ.
ed, was again seen this evening, and in tho same
position, but much more indistinctIy. At ten
minutes past 8 o'clock the tail bad not gone down
but had gradually faded away in the haze of the
west.
Comparing my own observations with the ac.
counts which have already reached US from diff.
ferenf paris OF the country, there appears now 10
be but ttle doubt but that this is the tail OF
ct, and that the head itself has been seen at mid
uay ~ tnP rsnSt WIN tho naked eye., 1T so, for
length oftail and magnitude of nebula, it may be
classed among the most remarkable that have CIV.
erappeared. In The year 43, B. c., shisto.ians
tell us Of a hairy ssar that was seen h; daylicht.
In tho year a. D. I402, two Comets were Seen
in broad day. and the tal Of one of them at noon.

day time without the aid of glasses. ItstaiI,
though not so long as tns, was curved, and form.
ed an arc of 90 dogs though. for part of The time,
i had several tails, the length Of which varied
from 80 deg. to 40 deg.
Tho Comet of l6SO-ihe most celebrated OF

the tail then decreases
If this Comet has obeyed this rule, it has alroa-
dy doubled the sun, and is now on its way back,
