OF The Louisville papers tell singular
story Of the discovery of robbers cave, filled
with untold treasures, on the line of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, by a young
farmer, who was ploughing in field, when
suddenly the earth gave way under him and he
fell into deep cave. In casting about him
for some means wherewith to get out, he discov-
cred numbers Of iron safes and strong boxes,
which. upon investigation, were found to con
tain gold and silver coin, jewelrv. and other
valuables to fabulous amount. The panta
ton upon which all this treasure was found
does not belong to the fortunate discoveries who
only lease the property, and from motives OF
security they have kept the secret of their
good fortune to themselves. Eminent legal
gentlemen have been employed to secure the
title to the property in the hands Of the find
erS. and we are promised full statement Of
all the facts in a few days.

The CoMET.-The alleged prediction or
some German astronomer, that the Earth will
be destroyed by Comet on the 18th of June
next has caused great excitement in Europe
The most distinguished astronomers have
published dissertations to prove the a5surdity
Of the Germans fears, and their opinions &C
cord with those Of Professor Pierce, Of Cam
bridge. Professor Magrini Of Milan, and
Professor Babinet oe Paris, assert that even
were a comet to come into collision with the
earth, the shock would not be felt, from the
fact that the matter Of comets is so light that
it could offer no resistance. 1t is so Thin that
stars Of inferior magnitude are easily seen
through it. Babinet says:
~ star of the eleventh magnitude was seen,
without any sensible loss of light. through a
comet Of $4,000 kilometres in breadth. IL 4
observations have been made by Hers .el,
Bessel, Strive, &c. According to photo yetry
therefore. the comet was at least sxt times
less brilliant than the STAR TO renI a lnvis.
ibie star Of the 9th magnitude, w sch is $50
times brighter than star Of 4e eleventh
magnitude, it would be necessary to render
the comet 100000 times brighter; and as the
atmosphere. illuminated by the full moon, ex-
tnguishes by its brightness stars of the fifth
and inferior magnitude, the necessary conclu-
sion is, that the comet illuminated in the
heavens by the sun is, nevertheless, 100000
times less brilliant than our atmosphere ilum-
/. mated by the moon. But the light of the
moon in its full is 100000 times less brilliant
than the full light of the sun; therefore if the
air, as we'll as the comet, be Illuminated by
the sun, il will be seven hundred and twenty
billions Of times brighter than the comet"
Mr.. Faye, after whom one Of the four peri.
;. odical comets is named, says that comets are
not even gases, and that the merest cobwet
would offer more resistance to a cannon ball
than comet to the earth; the weight Of the
latter being estimated at six thousand mil
lizards Of milliards of tons, while that of tho
former. according to Sir John Herschel. doe.
not exceed few ounces. The probability o
our coming in collision, even with this "ssi-
ble nothing" is calculated by OLDER to b. il
the ratio Of l to 2S1 100000; so that ever
were the comets "ten billion leagues of tail ,
less harmless than they are described. tn
chances are largely against the fulfilment o
the mythical Germans prediction. Professo
Babinet concludes his argument by sayin.
that 'those who are killed by comets, die 0
terror, stupidity and ignorance" We or,
strongly Of his opinion.

bow to paint this glorious arch of states The
cities have swarmed with soiers and the air
