The Cuse Of Wife Burning in Ail-
waukie.-Mr. Pfeil, the husband Of the
deceased lady at Milwaukee. the burn
ing Of whose body was prevented BY
the interference Of the police last week
has replied to the coarse and savage
article of the american in manner to
shame the writer, if he be susceptible
Of the sentiment. He shows by the
ailidavits Of physicians and others that
it was the earnest desire of the wife
that her body should be burned, and
such was to have been his funeral rites
had she been the survivor. He argues
the propriety of such disposition Of
the dead by reference to sanitary laws
the customs of antiquity, and its har-
mony with refined poetic sentiment.

The daily comet. [volume] (Baton Rouge, La.) 1850-1856, 1855-11-13

&C. The great comet of 1856.
which was expected in 1s4s. and on
account of appearance Sir John
Herschell put Grape on his telescope.
M. BONNIE distinguished German as
tronomer, finds it not to be due TIL '58.
With immense labor he has gone over
all the intricate calculations, and esti
mates that the comet would be retar-
ted to that extent by the influence of
the planets. The periods Of its re-
turn from $50 to 293 years, aud if it
shall not return before 1858, its pres
ent period will be longer by nine years
than ever cfore.-Erchanye.
This paragraph, has been going the
rounds for the last three years. We
have published it three or four times,
and will rise up again like the ghost
of Banquo." Sir John denies that
he ever put Grape on his telescope,
for this, or any other Comet. There
are standing predictions about these
cratic luminaries. Thus it is said,
by learned astronomer, that there
will be a Comet 1856 if not i'm 1877
or 1858. There are three Comets
that ret urn to the sun regularly at
irregular periods. They bear the
names of the philosophers, who map
ed them down as part and parcel Of
the physical universe: Encke, HALEY
and Bicla, and the calculations about
them from time to time have all failed.
Comets visit us, as it would seem
to convince man, that there is a limit
to his knowledge which he can never
pass. We may calculate an eclipse,
with unerring exactitude, and may
tell how many years, it ought to take
for Uranus to put a girdle round the
sun but to tell what comets are made
of; what laws regulate their motion
where they come from; and where they
go to, when they leave our system;
is impossible, since they put at def
ance, all the laws of motion, regulat-
ing other, and less important luminar
les.
