Public Officers and Politicians.

. Secretary Cobb. in a letter to a
gentleman holding high Office under
government, declares that the first
duty Of any gentleman holding pc.
sition under bis department is to the
government and to the people, and
not to the party to which be may
happen to belong. He then adds:
Holding, as you do, an office Of
great pecuniary responsibility, and
one requiring your constant person
al attention, ! cannot sanction the
propriety Of your absence from your
post for the purpose Of an active en-
gigement in thu approaching election
OF your State. No one regards with
more interest than do the success
of the national democratic party at
this important period Of our history
But that success must not be purchas-
ed at the expense of the public In
terest, which might be the case il
those holding high aud important Of
fees should absent themselves from
their post to conduct the canvass.

THE COMING COMET.

Learned Astronomers ire discuss
ing the comet Of 1867, and the chan
ces Of a collision between it and the
earth, an event which has been conf
IDENTIFY predicted. "a distinguished
astronomer Of New Jersey is said to
urge the following objections to COM
etc collisions generally, and the fool
ishly apprehended collision now talk
ed of particularly. There is nothing
new in these IDEAS: but they may tend
to quiet the nerves of the weak
LIST. The earth and the comet would
have to arrive at the same part Of the
earth's orbit exactly at the same time
If either were a little too soon, OF
a little too late, there would be no con.
cussion. Now the probability of THEN
keeping such time is very small. Jl
the year 1886, comet crossed the
path of the earth sortit about a month
before the earth arrived at the place
where it had crossed, and was some
millions of miles distant at the time
of the crossing. I'd. Even if the col
lision should happen, it would not in
jure the earth. A comet may be SAID
to be almost all tail; now the quauti
ty of matter proved to be contained
in any comet is small, and diiluseG
over "A large space; indeed, some say
that the tail is due to electrical action
and its density cannot much exceed
that Of air. Stars have been seen
by means of telescope, when thu
fail of comet was directly between
them and the observer. 1t is fac
known to all astronomers, that abou
the year 100, a comet passed 81
near the planet Jupiter, as to be mor'
strongly affected by his attraction
than it was by that OF the sun, ant
therefore it was turne d-out Of its or
bit; but the planet and his satellite
moved on, taking no notice of tn
intruder, or being at all disturbed b.
it. The only effect comet Nigh
produce, if it came in contact wit
the earth, is this 1t might leave be
hind some OF its matter, and thus poi
son our atmosphere. However, th'
probability that a comet will eve
come in contact with the earth,
about one chance that it will, and tw
! million that it will not happen.

do much toward continuing that har-
mony so necessary to success. No lit

effort on the part Of the democracy

one just approaching. Nothwith-

confidence in this power, be defeated.

Weinvits attention to the following
letter from this sterling democrat.

to Il higher station:

compliment in manner very q tier

confidence inspire me with profound
gratitude, and to those kind friends
I tender my sincere thanks.
If personal advancement were the
leading point to be attained, these
manifestations, With the urgent So
solicitations that have received from
other parts of the district, would en-
courage the hope of success, but the
maintainance of our principles in the
coming contest, being so much more
to be desired by every democrat than
the elevation of any individual, the
contest being not alone for this dis

important in this, as in every Other
portion Of our commonwealth. IL

Memphis is decidedly great place
in its way. A few days since case
was pending in the Common Law
Court Of that city, in which Mr.
and Mrs. Hebl.ng had sued Philip
r. Boblen, for breach Of marriage
contract, in failing to marry Mrs
Hebling when she was Miss Agnes
Handiwerker, and the jury has given
the injured parties 81 ,300l The idea
OF Hebling sueing Bohlen because he
did not marry bis wife, is one Of the
richest things Of this fast age.

The black republican majority OF
the New York Legislature have adop-
fed an amendment to the Constltu-
fion, giving the right of suffrage to
all the negroes in that State: The
Constitution as it now stands, requires
of this class of citizens certain
property qualification-before they
can exercise the elective franchlse.-
The proposed amendment must be
concurred in by two-thirds of the next
legislature, and by majority of the
voters of the State. There is no
danger TINT it will be Incorporated in
the Constitution. II was submitted
to the people in 1916, and received
bat eighty-fve thousand three hun
drad and six, out of over a quarter
Of a million Of votes.
This amendment is proposed by
the black republican party, to avenge
themselves against the supreme Court
and the South, for the bred Scott
decision. They degrade themselves
to the level OF negrees-to irritate
the South. The South has no inter-
est in the matter, and is perfectly
wiling that they should debase them
selves to any extent

TIE New POSTMASTER GENERAL
In reference to this very important
member of the new Administration
the Washington Globe Of the It'll
inst. says:
We like the change making Mr.
Brown Postmaster General, because
he is a man of untiring industry, and
of great ability, both mental and
physical. It requires such man to
bring that department into order a.
gain, and to make it pay its own
way, as it should do. Now, it sinks
an average of $4,000 a day the

making the aowery "balm" was in,
PRODUCED, during the trial, from which
it appeared That it is compounded
Of palm oil, potash, alcohol aud white
sugar. Honey was at first used, in
stead of sugar, and it is from the fact
that the honey was extracted from
the 'thousand flowers, that the name
was chosen. This preparation, inclu-
ding the bottle and wrapper, does not
cost over seven cents Cor what is sold
