which is now shining bright over our heads. Every
evening, from till 8 O'Clock the boulevards and
public places are filed with idlers, noses up, and
hands in pockets to protect their purses who are i'd
mring the "tailed star" The fact is that the as-
tronomers are in the utmost delight; and M. Arago,
who was sick and daily expected to die, has
totally recovered owing to the arrival Of this
aster in sight of our planet. The most enormous
tales are placed in each shop window fronting tho
comet and one "work' is sold at from two to six
sous-cheap enough for comet. This unexpected
star which is coasting Ia plsse ct k beau temps
over the heavens, was first discovered on the 10th
June, 1858, at Gottingen, by DR.. Klinkerfues, who
described its form and TAIL which is about 1000 900
leagues in length. The comet is "trotting at very
great speed and will arrive at its perhelon on the I'd
inst. 1t is said that it will entirely disappear on

Whether or not it is owing to the presence Of the

AT Madrid, and in many provinces of Spain, the
heat has been intense for the last two weeks that
the deaths by sun stroke and other diseases were
quite numerous. The police Of Madrid, by way q
prudence, left for several days the gates Of the city
open, in order to allow the citizens to promenade
out Of doors and refresh themselves during the
night.
Paris is as dull as it could be after cholera or
plague The strangers have deserted the city; tho
American club has sent all its gamblers out Of town

Despite the uncommon weather which We are en-

Is progressing with universal establishment. The
Rue de Rivals is nearly completed, and the Bois

mushrooms. A company Of rich men has been
organized, whose intention is to build the mouu-

voir, containing 100000 gallons OF wafer, which
could be distributed all over Paris by 1000 pipes.
The steam engine would be placed at Ciichy, which
by its power would pump TIE Seine water to the
reservoir. The same company would also make an
arrangement with the railway companies to fetch to
Paris some Of the different spring waters Of tho
neighboihood Of Paris, which could be distributed at
cheap prices all over the city. This is colossal
enterpree--will it ever be put into execution
