The Comet and the Weather.

There can be no question, says the
Louisville Journal, but that the per-
tarbed state of the weather, which
has for weeks set at naught meteo-
rological calculations, is produced. il
not directly at least indirectly, by The
huge comet which is now whizzing
through space directly toward oul
sm8ii planet. Similar changes of the
CLIMATE have been obs ryed before,
during the passage of comets near
the esrth. The comet of 1886 is, said
to have brought With it a dense and
unpleasant fag. which lasted for tven-
ty-one days, tlI.tnl 1926 was accom-
panied by heavy rims and conse-
qdent inundatiuns, aad every one
must rcmpmber the unusually cold
and severe weather prevalent at the
time of. the appesranc. of the bril-
liant com It of Mirch, s43. The
comet now approaching the earth is
thlt.of Charles v, which first ar
peared in perehelion, in 1864. 1t
may be sren in a clear evening near
b. oagittari, and is evidectly nearing
the earth with great rapidity. Its
passing across our orbit, or its posi-
bic collision, may produce very inn
portant and extraordinary geograph-
zeal changes. There can be no doubt
that It's meteorological effects are al
ready becoming evident.

Baptism of 100 Mormons.

A singular and it may be adde's
a most disgracefnl scene took plac
ion a recent Tuesday evening at Ches
terfeld. On the outskirts of tht
town runs a narrow stream anon.
] lthe fields, called the river Rother
over which, OH the Hasland road, il
a bridge, called Stoney Bridge. A
bout one hundred OF one hundred an(
fifty persons, chiefly women, are
scattered on the verge of the water
waiting for the appearance of The
deluded fanatics who are to be dipped.
They call to each other from oppo,
site sides, and crack jokes of most
indecent and shameless character
1t is past night and quite dark; the
moon being obscured and not star
QUITO shed even a glimmer Of light.
Two or three candles are brought
down to the water and stuck in
the mud by the side, and pres emily
a coarse featured man descends into
the middle Of the stream and takes
up his position under the arch of the
bridge. This is the priest, who is to
perform the ceremony. He has 10th
ing on but a pair of trousers, tucked
up at the knee, and a waistcoat with
sleeves. He intimates to his atten-
dants that be is ready, and in a few
minutes emerges from a house two
or three hundred yards of, men (some
half and others entirely naked) and
they walk over the ground, which is.
strewed with pieces of broken bottles,
bricks and tiles, to the water. They
are compelled to pass through the
women who line the banks, and the
remarks which ensue are revolving
and indelicate beyond description
One by one they are received
by the priest, who, amid shouts of
laughter, dips each individual, pro-
nounciug over them the formula:
81, being commissioned by Jesus
Christ, baptize thee for the remission
of thy sins, in tho rame ofthe Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost AS he
utters these words he lays them be.
meath the water, and the individual
who is being baptized, in every case
blinded by the water, there is a strug-
gle to rise, and on several occasions
both priest and baptized rolled over
in the stream together. AS may be
this affords immense
to the mob, who testify
their appreciation by clapping of hands,
sbrieks and roars of merriment.-

The gall and bitterness of the. Nev

assertion that these vital and fina

f"entitled to just so much mora
waight as would be the judgment o
a msjority Of those eongregaied in g

ness of our Seward organs will avail
nothing. The only alternative to the
anri,slavery factions Of the North,

original Van Buren factions, is 10y

lion. -
Unquestionably this bomb-shell
from the Supreme Court, together
with the inaugural aud the Cabinet
of the new administration, will at once
reopen the slavery agitationin alli's
length and breadth; but henceforth
slavery in the Territories is an issue
which must be decided by the laws
of climate, products, races. and the
natural laws of our population aud
emigration; for Congress benceforth
can have nothing to do with the SUBJ
ject. Meantime, the new admins
tration, relieved of the precedents Of
the Missouri Compromise, the Will

tutional laws and proceedings of the
Government during the last forty
years on the slavery question. has
its course plainly and au!horitatisely
marked out. In this respect Mr..
buchanan is particularly fortunate,
and his administration will, we dare
say, be singularly satisfactory and
successful, for the people are ever 10y.

THB Press AND Coop BUSINESS
There ia no discount on this para
graph:
Some men advertise for a short
time after they commence business,
and think that it is sufficient; 9th
ers iutermit advertising after they
have established a fourishing busi-
ness by its aid. This is mistake.
From the moment house ceases to
advertise, however large its. reputa-
tion and standing, it begins to de-
cline. The changes are so rapid in
this country, and the public mind is
SO constantly occupied by new ap-
pIicants to its favor and its attention,
that to be out of the papers, where
every body seeks for Information on
every subject, is to be forgotten.-
The press is daily becoming mole
and more necessity, and its useful
ness as an advertising medium is
as constantly increasing. No man
is wise. or just to himself, who un-
dertakes to do business without a.
vailing himself of. its advantages.

Feast Of The Passover.

The annual observance Of this fes.
tival, which dates back to the time of
the Pharaohs, commenced this year
on Wednesday, the 9Th inst, and the
Jewish population in various parts of
the country have been making prep
arations for it. The preliminary re-
quisite is the so called Matzot cake,
OF unleavened bread. baked almost
exclusively in New York, and thence
sent to all parts Of the country. It's
elements are the best wheat flour and
pure water alone, mixed, not kneaded
like common dough, but broken with
IA sort of lever, after which it under
goes several rolling processes. 1t is
then moulded into round cakes, per-
forated with sm4ll holes at equal dis
tance. baked, packed and sent off in
baskets! The Matzot, it is said, is
very good and pleasant to the taste,
but modern Christians could hardly
reconcile themselves to eating it al.
most exclusively for the eight days
the Feast Of the Passover continues.

Better Late than Never.


Life is a race where some succeed,
While others are beginning;
IT'S luck at times,at others speed,
That gives an early winning;
But if you chance to fail behind,
Meier slaeken your endeavor;
Just keep this wholesome truth in mind
'Tis better late than never!
IF you car keep.ahead, 'tis well,
But never trip your neighbor;
IT'S noble when you can excel
BY honest, patient labor;
But if you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bold as ever;
Remember, though you are surpassed,
IT'S better late than never!
Ne'er labor for an idle boast
OF victory DER another;
But while you strive your uttermost,
Deal fairly with brother;
Whate'er your station, do Seur best,
And hold your purpose ever;
And if You fail to beat the rest.
IT'S better late than never!
Choose well The path in which you run,
Succeed by noble daring;
Then, though the last, when once tits won.
Your crown is worth the wearing;
Then mover fret if left behind,
Nor slacken your endeavor;
But ever keep this truth in mind
'Tis better late than never!

in. converting souls, was preaching in
Louisville. The feeling had got pret-
ty well up, and one night, alter a
very powerful sermon, he came
down from the pulpit, for the pur-
pose Of receiving the mourners, while
the good old hymn of
@Canaan, Oh, Canaan, Pm bound for the
land of Canaan,o A.
was strickland chimed in by hundreds
of voices. The hymn WIS couclud-
ed, but there were no penitents at the
altar. In vain he exhorted-his
words and appeals fell upon the ears
Of his congregation without exciting
an emotion.s at length he conelud-

pit, after few words of exhoriation,
he solcmnly announced that be would

Only some eight or ten respond
