DEATH OF AN EX-SENATOR. General
Wm. Marks, who was member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature as early as 1910,
and for six years, President of. the Senate
of that State, died. on Saturday last Tn
1927 he was elected to the United States
Senate, and served a term of six years. In
this distinguished body he was cotcmporary
with Webster, Calhoun, Van Buren, Ben
ton, Berrien, Haync and others Of the great
men of that day, and it is a singular coinci-
'dence that he died at about the same hour,
and at nearly the same age, as Col. Benton,
with whom he served for six years on the
committee of military affairs, and between
whom although differing politically, there
always existed the closest personal friend

THE CoMET.-1n little Mexican almanac,
published by Simeon Blanquel, in the city Of
Mexico. 1857, and shown to US by Mr.. Phillip
Roach, We 6ud that the comet now visible is
mentioned and predicted for this year. After
announcing that this very cemet would appear
in 1858, the writer quotes the following from
AragO's demolition of the Winston theory.
Winston held that Noahs deluge was occasion
ed by the action of vast comet, and that the
comet of which we now speak was the one that
caused that stupendous event. To this, Mons
AragO replied There is nothing inadnisslble
in the supposition shat the comet of 1850 (the
same now visible) was near the earth at the
time of the delVge. But, from the immense ra-
pidity of its fight, it would not exercise is at
traction long enough over those points to which
it was contiguous, to cause so mighty aad uni
versal phenomenon. In the second place,
this famous comet passed near the earth on the
2lst November, 1850, and it has been demon
strated that it was no nearer at the time Of the
deluge yet no deuge was oceasioned by its
proximity at that period" HALEY endeavored
TO explain the presence Of shells and other ma
rine substances on the tops Of mountains, by
attributiDg il TO terrible conclusion between
the earth and this comet. Arago, likewise dis
poses of this theory as follows: The stratiica-
ti0n of marine deposits, the extent aud the state
of perfect preservation in which the most deli
cate shells are found, all exclude the idea of be-
ing violently transported from the ocean. while
they demonstrate q regular aud steady deposit
Of those marine substances 1t will be seen
from the above. that the comet was actually
predicted for this year. and the result is anoth-
er of those brilliant achievements which fill the
mind with sublmity and awe.-S. F. Herald

The MARYLAND DEMOCRACY Washing
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
writes as follows:
A scene took place on Thursday evening in
the Democratic City Convention of Baltimore,
which is worth recording. A delegate, Mr.
Owens, who wants TO be bitumiuous coal agent
in place of the incumbent Col. Polk, father-in-
law to Ex-Governor Lowe, offered u set of reso-
lutiOns approving the course of the Admins
tration on the Kansas question. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Wolfe. another delegate, who Of
fered a set of resolutions denouncing the reno
val of the Douglas Democrats from Office. A
itch scene ensued. which ended in tabling both
sets of resolutions. The anti-Lecompton feel
ing was very strong in the Convention Your
course is warmly approved by thousands ofthe
Maryland Democracy. l could mention some
very distinguished names in this connection.

RELIC AT THE HERMITAGE.-Among the curl

both on account Of the artistic skill displayed
and the celebrity of the tree from which the
wood was procured. It was made from the
wood of the elm tree under which William Penn
made the celebrated Indian treaty. The pitch
er was presented by the coopers OF Philadel-
phia; and. although it is not larger than com.
mon cream jug, it contains seven hundred and
ffty slaves. The hoops, lid, and handle are OF
silver; the bottom is magnlfylng glass
through which one is enabled to see the JOINTS
which are invisible to the naked eye.
