Just At his time people A. feeling doms

The Boston 1reascript Of Saturday evening
has an article on this object, i. portion III
which win be found below. The Transeript
says; W 49, .Ass .
The profound mystery in which they hare
so long been involved begins to be removed.
1t is now conclusively settled that they are
bodies of cosmical origin, extraneous to the
earth, and moved round the sun in orbits Of
ellipticai form, thereby resembling the COM
cts. Thousands Of these orbits are grouped
together, side by side, and the meteors nov

a velocity OF more than one thousand miles
in minute. and every meteor in its way Ii
caught in the atmosphere and burnt up. This
prodigious stream of meteors, which the
earth encountered one year ago, had not all
succeeded in crossing the path Of the earth
when it came round on Thursday morning

lion Of The numbers composing this sasti
swarm. Consider, for moment, swarm Of
meteors, each flying along at the rate Of more
than one thousand miles IN minute, one

This vast swarm is moro than thirty. three
years journeyng round the sun back to this
point where they meet the earth. In their
flight they are accompanied by single COM

the same direction in the same time, and in
path which lies in the centre of this GROUP
of rneteor-orbits. The same thing happeni 4
with the August meteors. Tuttle's cornet 4
flies along the same pathway of these meteors |
the tears Of ST. Lawrence. This coinci.
dence of pathway, direction of motion, and
periodic time-of comets and meteors-is a
recent discovery, and one that has excited the
lIveest interest among astronomers. 1t may
be key which shall yet unlock the mysteri.
ous character Of comets, and expose these |
wanderers, which have hitherto defied all at
tempts at penetration.
To Prof. Newton, of Yale College, is main-
ly due the credit of having brought out of
chaos the facts respecting these meteors, and |
having digested and systematzed them dis
covered and demonstrated their periodcity. |
Our American Newton has achieved high |
position among men of science by his labors
in this department Of astronomy.

will appreciate the following, which we
find in the Knoxville Free Press:
Judge Houk (who was holding the
court for Judge Hall, was present,
and while Williams was speaking called
out in 4 distinct voice, "Rcbel" Will
lians, stepping to the edge of the
stand and pointing his finger at Houk

Houk, hesi,ating, Williams continued
still more fiercely:
Sir, did I understand you to say |
am Rebel ?"
Houk, seeing the FIRE in Williams
eye, and knowing we'll the man, replied
81 do not cay you are Rebel"
The interruption, while it did moi
disconcert the speaker, excited the dis
gust of almost the entire audience.

BrownlOw's Letter to lryne.l
Your ignorance ofthis whole
subject manifests itself in your
clamors about the equality OF
the African and Anglo-Saxon
races. This question OF race
you call upon me to settle to
your satisfaction. DO you ask
me to make a pointer out of a
poodle Z? DO you ask me to
make a peach out of a crab-ap-
pie =? Can you change a car
rot into a melon ? Can you
grow an oak from a peanut?
Will a donkey produce an Ara
bian horse? Will u polecat
produce II lion ? Can you hatch
eagles by setting Il goose on
bulzzard eggs Most certainly
not! You cannot undo what
God has intended shall never
be undone. 1t is, therefore,
simply impossible for you to
change an African into an An
glo-Saxon. 1t is a question of
blood-of race, as | have re-
marked F; and a question far
aboee the capacity of those who
abuse these Southern States
on account of African slavery.
