Those who look upon The small neb.
u'ous star now visible. can hardly realize
the terrific appearance Of this same Object
when. in 1854 approached the sun with
tail one hundred degrees IN length! It,
tail came streaming up IN the morning
several hours before its head. and when
it's nucluss was in the zenith the train
stretched below the western horizon. Its
train was first very broad butt decreas-
ed in width extending enormously in
length. II is said 10 have disappeared
October Sd. on the day OF the death OF
Pore Urban w. 1t was, OF course
thought special forerunner Of that event.
This comet had sppesrd before in 975.
and also in 395 and l04. as mentioned
by Chinese annalis,s. This would give
it period Of about 292 years. In 975
its tail was 40 degrees in length. and its
nucleus or head was so bright as TO be
visible in the day time. Its next appear
ance after 1864. was in 1856. in the month
Of February. Its aspect was very sim
liar 10 its present one. being somewhat
paler than the planet Mars. and with a
train Of four degrees in length. 1t has
been known as "the great comet OF Charles
"" because it appeaed in the year in
which his abdication took place.
Our St. Louis corempnrary. however.
according to other authority. is mistaken
in regard to the identity Of the comet
The one it describes is believed 10 be the
third one (TutlIe's) mentioned above.-
There is a great difference Of opinion as
to what comet the one now visible really
is. II is claimed by DR.. Gould to be
identical with the comet OF 1854. and the
first of the three comets seen in 1897
and to have period of about thirty >one
years BALI. Sun.

THE ORIGINAL MORGAN H RE The
Spring field Mass } Republican. speaking
of the origin of this noble breed Of b rises,
asserts that Massachusetts has done ma
nv good things. among which j. giving to
Vermont the Gre it. and the world the
BEN, fit. Of the celebrated Morgan horse.
1t appears that near the close Of the last
century a singing master bV the name OF
justin Morgan lived in Chicopee street.
West Springfield. The place where this
man lived has been pointed Oh: 10 the
wr::er in the Republican,. by one who
knew him and remembers his celebrated
horse. In the spring Of 1903 he raised
the colt which has given celebrity to his
name; and alrhouge promising one. and
fully appreciated by its owner. who Mas
n"ted tor his passion for good horses. it
is believed that this horse could have been
bought for fifty dollars.
Fortune frowned upon Mr.. Morgan. and
seized with the spirit Of adventure, about
the year 1898 he migrated with his fami
" and horse 10 the wilds OF Randolph.
Vt. lIere he lived few years and died
poor. Like lhs projectors Of many valu
able inventions. neither he nor his family
realized profit from the skill and labor
displayed in preserving The stock Of this
horse. who was the foundation OF breed
which has given both wealth and charac-
ter to New England. In this case is FIR
chilly illustrated the influence Of An urdi
nary action MIR. Justin Morgan might
or might not have been conscious OF the
results, when six y FIVE years ago he rails
ed the famous colt. The act was simple
in itself. but the cons, quences are mo.
ment"us. An impetus was then given to
a branch Of industry whose power is no.
yet fully felt. Wherever the horse is
known there shall the name Of Justin Nor
gan be repeated. The Morgan horse is
destined to give as much celebrity 10 New
England as the barb of the desert to Ara
bia. As farm and family horse the
Morgan" is unequaIed. Docility. hard :,
ihood. endurance. compactness. and sure
footedness are his invarisbIe properties.
