The Comet of 1856.

The following interesting details respecting
tho comet which is expected to make Its aP-
pearance about the year 1856, are given by Nj.
Rahinet, an eminent French astronomer, and
Member of the Academy of Sciences, in an
article recently published The Boston Travel
Ter translates from the Courier des Etats Unls
"This comet is one of the grandest of which
historians make mention. Its period of revo.
luton is about three hundred years. 1t was
seen inthe wears lO4, 392, 6S3, 975, 1864
and the latest time in 1856. Astronomers agreed
in predicting its return in 1913, but it failed to
appear-manquc au rendez vous, according to
the expression of NJ Rabnet-and continues
to shine, still, unseen by us. Already the OBJ
servatories begin to be alarmed tor the fate Of
their beautiful wandering star. Sir John Her,
schel had put Grape upon his telescope, when a
learned calculator of hliddleburs, NJ. BONNIE,
reassured the astronomical world Of the con-
tinued existence of the venerable and magnili-
cent comet
Disouetcd, as all other astronomers were,
by the non arrival of the comet at the expect
ed time, NJ. BONNIE, aided by the preparatory
labors of MIR. Hind, with patience truly Dutch,
has revised all the calculations and estimated
all the aclionsof all the planets upon the comet
for three hundred years Of revolution. The
result of this patient labor, gives the arrival OF
the comet in August, 1858; with an uncer.
tainty of two years, more or less, so that from
1856 to 1860, we may expect the great comet
which was the cause of the abdication of the
Emperor Charles v, in 1856.
1t is known that, partaking of the general
superstition, which interpreted the appearance
of IA comet as the forerunner of some fatal
event, Charles ", believed that this comet ad.
dressed itself particularly to him as holding
the first rank among sovereisns. The great
and once wise but now wearied and shattered
monarch, had been for some time the victim of
cruel revcrses. There were threatening indi-
cations in the political, if not in the physical
horizon, as a still greater tempest to come
He was left to cry in despair. Fortune aban-
dons old men," The appearance of the bla-
zinp star seemed to him an admonition from
Heaven that he must cease to be sovereign, if
he would avoid fatality from which one without
authority might be spared. 1t is known that
the Emperor survived his abdication but little
more than two years.

is induced to speak. After suitable time has
elapsed the man and woman rise up together,
and takigg each other by the hand, declare
publicly that they thus take each other as hus'

A writing is then generally produced and read
though Ais be not necessary, stating con-
cisely the proceedings of the parties in their

made bythem as having taken each other as

ties. their relatives, and frequently by many OF
their friends and others present. BY way,
however, of necessary evidence of their union,
another paper is signed in the course Of the day

AMDEN sOIyrH-CAROIINA TUESDAY MORNING JUNE21

T Another comet, which passed near us, in1s.
35, and which has appeared twenty-five times,
since the Christian era, has been associated by
the superstitious with many important events
which have occurred near the period of5its yisi-
tatiOn. -. .e
In lOGG, William The Conqucror landed in
England at the head Of numerous army, about
the time the comet appeared which now bears
the name Of Halley''s comet. The circum-
stance was regarded by the English as a prog
noslic of the victory Of the Normans. 1t ,in'
fused universal terror into the minds Of the
people, and contributed not little toward the
submission Of the country after the battle of
Hastings, as j had served to discourage the
soldiers of Harold before the combat. The
comet is represented upon the famous tapestry
of Bayeux, executed BY Queen Matilda, the
wife OF the Conquerors The same. in 1856,
threw terror among the Turks under the COM
mand of 4Mahomct II, and into the ranks of
the Christians during the terrible battle Of Bel
grade, in which forty thousand Musselmen
persisted. The comet is described by histo-
rians of the time as ."'immense, terrible, Of
enormous length, carrying in its train a tail
which covered two celestial signs, {6Q degrees,
and producing universal terror" Judging from
this portrait, comets have singularly degenera-
ted insour day. 1t will be remembered, how
ever, that in 1911 there appeared a comet of
great brilliancy, which inspired some snperst-
tious fears. Since that epoch science has no,
ted nearly eightg. comets, which, with few cx-
ceptions, wereSisible only by. the aid Of the
telescope. 9Kcpler, when asked how many
comets hethought there were in the heavens,
replied: sas many as there are fish in the
sea.",l 50, -o. <rts-.>4.
"Thanks to the progress Of astronomical
science, these singular stars are: no longer OBJ
jects of terror. The theories of Newton, Hal
ley, and their successors, have completely de-
stroycd the imaginary empreE of comets: As
respects their ply sical nature, it was for long
time believed that they were composed Of
compact centre, surrounded by luminous at.
mosphere. On this subject the opinion of M.
Rabinet, who must be regarded as good au-
thority on such questions, is as follows: "Com,
cts cannot exercise any material influence upon
our globe, and the earth, should it traverse a
comet in its entire breadth would perceive il
no more than if it should cross a cloud a. hun;
dred thousand millions Of times lighter than
our atmosphere and which could no more
make lis way through our air thanthe slightest
puff. of an ordinary bellows could make its
way through an anvil" D. 1t would be difficult
to find a comparison more re assuring
