The Anticipated Comet.

1t is possible that some ofour readers may
have been alarmed at the statements which have
been made on the authority of NJ Babinet, q
French savant to the effect that this globe of
ours was to be pretty severely shaken by con
tact with a comet next juno. But we are hap
py to announce, on very good authority that
no such calamity is likely to occur. The editor
of the Boston Daily Advertiser has applied to
Professor Pierce, Of Cambridge, for information
on the subject, and has received the, following
satisfactory reply from that distinguished math-
ematician:
HARVARD COLLEGE, March %, 1857.
Ny DEAR SR:--What Babinet, who is an
excellent popular lecturer, good physicist, but
no'geometer or astronomer may have written Of
possible comet or collision with cOmet-or
what some unknown German may have done
of the same kinds wholly unknown to me-
But neither fthem, supposing the German to
be of equal scicntic position with Babinet, can
have predicted in June any such collision for /
an positiUs that there are not the Rqtg for such
computation, and Babinct is at least of too re-
spectacle abilities to involve himself in such an
absurdity. ....
The only matter of prediction, relating to
comets, which has recently come under my OBJ
Seryation, consists Of a series OF signal failures
committed by the English Astronomer Hind,
which have been discussed with cutting severi-
ty by German mathematician, and found to
be utterly without foundation. This Hind is
the man who was recently appointed to the con-
troll ofthe English Nautical Almanac, in opposi-
tion to the rival claims of Adams, whose name
is deseryedly celebrated in connection with the
discovery of Neptune. ....
Yours, &C., BENJAMIN PIERCE.

Wonderful, But True. :

A few days since, Mr. Jas. IL. Beadle, of Hunts
vile, Alabama, called on us and gave us permis
sion to publish for the benefit of suffering human
ity, the astonishing cure which had been effected
IN the case OF his wife by the use OF Dr. Hance's
Vegetable Epileptic Pills He informed u.s. that at
the time his wife commenced using the medicine
her system was entirely prostrated, by the mum.
Der Of spt SINS she had undergone as to reduce her
weight TO 100 lbs. Since she has been taking the
Pills, she has entirely got over the spasms, and has
gained in weight and bodily health. She now
weighs at least 300 lbs and declares she isnow in
better enjoyment of health than ever before in her
life. Mr.. Beadle also related the case Of Mr.. Har-
rison Lghtfoot, of the same town, who has been
entirely cured Of the worst form of Epilepsy. BY
these same pills. Mr. Lightfoot's case was SO bad
that he never passed week without having an at.
tack, often falling down in the street. He has not
had an attack for more than year Mr. Beadle
THINKS that il thePills ever fail in curing case

some OF the Republican Journals Of this coun-
Try are opening their eyes to tho fact, that the
clamor against foreigners, and the disabilities
which some of the Eastern States have attcrnp-
ted to impose on them, arc likely to cripple the
Republican efforts to convert the Territories in
10 free States. It has been foreign emigration
which has peopled the West and the Northwes-
tern portions Of this Union, and planted a har-
dy and Industrious race Of frcemen over that
bsoaa section Of the country. Yet Massachu-
setts, which appropriates money through its
Legislature, 10 settle Kansas with free labor IS
one of the most rabid States against the iorcgn
immigrant whose labor is the very kind wanted
in Kansas. Religious sectarian prejudice has
urol,ablg great deal to do with this mental
blindness. In the southern States, this at
tenapt to reduce free born men to a state ofpo-
Iitical slaycrv, would bc excusable on account Of
the interests 1T stake; but in any northern State
PROCESSING republican principles, 1t is an incon
SistauSy not very creditable W its intelligence.
