The Comet.

1t is barely possible that the magnificent
comet now visible in the northwest is the
comet of Charles V. That comet, so much
discussed, and Of which 50 little is known.

comet of 1885, 1850, 1852, 1907, 1881 and

peror, enfeebled by wars and superstition
on the appearance Of the comet in 1855

least, certain that a comet of peculiar br;I

Charles V addicted the throne in the same
