LOOKING FOR A CELESTIAL VIsnoR.
-Biela's Comet is expected soon to
make its appearance, as it is now on
its way to its perihelion. II is not
yet near enough to be visible, being
not nearer the earth than about H.,
100000 miles. On the first day Of
November next it will be close to the
bright alpha PegasD Markab, one Of
the four bright stars forming the well
known square Of Pegasus. It then
pursues southerly course, crossing
the celestial equator about the middle
Of December. It then crosses It's old
path in 1916, near where it separa.
ted in two comets. At the end Of
February its distance from the earth
will be less than 10000, 900 Of miles,
This comets period is 81 years.

EMANCIPATION IN RUSSIA. Sunday,
March II, 1861, will always be a
memorable day in the history Of Rus
STA, as that on which 20,000,000 of
serfs Were presented with decree
which made them freemen. This vast
slave population was in the hands of
aristocracy of about 100000, less than
l,50O of whom owned 1000 each.
They are required to allow the,eman-
cipated peasants the dwellings, which
they occupied. and the ground upon
which they stand will be legally gran
ted to them upon the payment of GER
tain rates. As fast as the late serfs
can raise money enough to pay these
dues they become landed proprietors.
