Passage of the Earth through the
 Tail of Comet.

Early in the month of June, 1861, M. Liais, the celebrated astronomer wrote from Rio Janeiro to the academy of sci
 enees of Paris, to the effect that the ob- servations which hc had made of the great comet of that year, which had not as yet become visible in Europe, had convinced him that there was great likelihood that the earth would come in contact with ono of the tails yof that body. NJ. Liais, who is now in Paris, attendedthe sitting of the acadcmyand submitted elaborate calculations prov ing beyond question, that on the 10th of June, 1861, the earth really did pass through one of the comets tails. The moment of contact was twelve minutes past six a. m., Rio Janeiro time, and, according to the calculation of it's di- mensions made by NJ. Liais, the earth must have been wholly. immersed in the tail for about. four hoursl This immersion in the tail of comet had no percebtible influence on the weath- CT, a very remarkable fact, adding one more to theS many reasons there were already for supposing -that cometary matter is some million of times rarer than, our. atmosphere. Not the least curious consideration suggested by, the phenomenon is, that it is one which perhaps had never occurred before for according to Arago, the chances against the contact of the earth With a comet are more than two hundred and fifty millions to one. sfH ,za

REPARATOn CAPsLLH.

For restoring hair upon bald heads from whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face, in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant pracsition- CTS have asserted hat there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thous- ands of living witnesses (from their own ex- pcrience) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the. genuine from the spurious? It certainly is difhcult' as nine-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts in. their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator capiili; 1; it will cost you nothing unless 1t fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with re- ceipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satisfacr ton is not given.
