RETURN OF A CoMET.--Lient. M. f.
Maury communicates to the National In
telligencer scme interesting astronomical
news. He states that letter from the
Rev. Mr.. Jenkins, Of Georgetown College,
who sailed from Rio in October last, con.
tains the following item:
"On November 2sih, at IT P. NJ, we
saw distinctly comet to westward, nearly
IN the track Of the sun, and about IA deg.
above the horizon, as measured with the
quadrant; the nucleus very distinct, and
about as large in appearance as Mars, The
tail curved and pointed towards the south,
Is. wy quite bright, and nearly degree
in length, as visible to the naked eye, but
much larger when viewed with spy glass
II was seen by oil the crew for twenty
minutes, when cloud intercepted it, ant
il never more was seen."
II is thought that this may be the great
comet Of 1854 and 1856, the return Of which
astronomers are expecting about this time

MoRAIrrY OF THE CrDER CELIA

MoRALIrY OF THE CIDER CEILAR.--
Holt did not practice this singular profession
long, but when he was going the circuit MS
chiefjustice, many years after, he recog-
nized man, convicted cnpitolly before him,
as one CT his own accomplices in robbery,
and having visited him in gaol. and inquir.
ed after the rest of the gang, he received
this answsr-" All, my lord, they are oil
hanged but myselfnnd your lordshipw To
this anecdote Lord Campbell nppends the
following explanatory and consolatory
note:--"Hanging wns not formerly consid-
cred SO very disgracefnl snd melancholy
an occurrence as it Is now. When | first
came to London frequented the famous
Cider.cellur in Maijen-lane. where | met
Professor Person, Mat. ain,the master ofthe
Charter-house. and other men Of celebrity.
Among these was George Nichol, the kings
bookseller, who, in answer TO some refec.
tons on the society who sometimes cnmo
there, answered with an mir Of conscious
dignity, i have known the Cider-cellar
these forty years, and during that time only
two men have been hung out of it."--

The dissolution and reconstruction of the

The Curse Of overshadowins wealth.

"Vast fortunes ore misfortune 10 the
State. They confer irresponsible power;
and human nature, except in the rurest
instances, has proved incapable Of WELD
ing irresponsible power without abuse. The
feudalism of Capital is not whit less for.
midable than the feudalism Of Force. The
millionaire is as dangerous to the welfare
of the community in our day, us WIS the
baronial lord Of tho middle Ages Both
supply the means Of shelter and Of raiment
on the same conditions; both hold their re.
tainers in service by tho same tenure
their necessity for bread; 10th use their
superiority TO keep themselves SUPERIOR
The power Of money is as imperial Us the
power Of the sword and | may MS we'll
depend upon another for my hend as for
my bread. The day is sure 10 come, when
men will look back upon the prerogatiyes
Of Capital ut the present time with rs se-
we're and US just condemnation as we now
look back upon the predatory Chieftains Of
the Dark Ages. Weighed in the balance
ofthe sanctuary, or even in the clumsy
scales of human justice, there is no equity
in the allotments which assign to one man
but dollar day, with working, while
another has on income Of dollar a minute
without working. Under the reign Of
Force, or under the reign Of Money, there
may be here and there good man who
uses his power for blessing and not for
depressing his race but oil their natural
tendencies are exclusively bad. In En-.
glnnd, we see the feudalism Of Capital
approaching catastrophe contaminated, +"

CHOICE OF A PRoFFssIoN.--Parents and

sion be respectable or lucrative, or one in
which the youth may be expected 10

addition to these circumstances, they ought
70 take into account the talents, the disposi-

ft-T The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,
moral worth and professional requirements,
will compare favorably with the most distin'
guished in our country.-1he Medical Faculty
constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country all of them are able lecturers and
the best Of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographic
cal position and the extent Of our population,
can have no doubt as to the eligibility of our
situation for an enterprise Of tho kind. AS TO
health, including all seasons Of the year, we
deny that ANY OTHER CITY HAS MORE.
A common error exists in the minds OF many
students relative to the place Of studying med
icine: those who intend practicing among the
dis eases Of the west and south should certainly
educate themselves at school whose Faculty
are practically acquainted with these diseases.
That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
manency Of this school, we feel it our duty to
state, that the Trustees and Faculty form a
UNIT in action, which augurs well for its fn-
ture success, and tina, the peculiar internal or
ganization which connects them, cannot be in
terrupted. p. W. M. KING,

The origin and nature OF the above COM
plants being SO we'll known, We will not out

which every child over ten years Of age knows
by practical experience.
II will be sufficient to say in plain terms,
that coughs and colds are generally occasioned
by obstructed perspiration, and the object OF oil
remedies should be to remove the obstruction.
This candy by opening the pores of the body
allaying the irritation, ,and promoting freeexpec'
toration has that effect, and by that means re-
moves the complaint.
