THE COMET.

Now, let us see, regard ing this comet, this mass of fire, with & tai of fire ihat would reach AT ,urd the earth more serton when We consider thut ii s tail ot fire 2,400,0OO miles long. Science will hardly warrant suck q theory
 To tell us that this tail is c,f .tirs and equal in length to one hundred times to crcnnfsr- ence of our earth is eouiva!en: to staiing that the coraot is envelcped by en atmosphere ex tending from it's surface to the height of two millions and four hundred thousand miles, which, when we consider shat the atmosphere of our earth extends to thsg height of only 45 miles, BeenlS somewhat unreasonable But it may bo askad in what manner the ahovs quo- tntion implies what it does TO. eZpress- how does it represent tho exist nee or an at mospbera Because if this tail be Q flame it must be within an atmosphere, from the fact that 1t could not ezis! in yacuo. oxygen gas lis powerful supporter of combustion and il is owing to the oxygen 1t containE that atmos- pheric air supports combustion; therefore, if this comet bO a mass of fire 1t must have an ats moapherc to iapart shis vital principle that the Aame may be kept up-and that such it has not becomes evident when We consider ths. as a fire t has for thousands of years been coE- suming oxygen during which time t has not been supplied with single cubic inch which would be consumption that an atmosphere of even millions Of miles in height could not sup- ply. Indeed "msss of fire many thousand times as large as the earth" would consume the oxygen of an atmosphere envsloping it to the thickness of 2, 400, 900 mies in very short time.
 The theory which represents this comet as mass of fire is evidently at fault. We shall not be content with this explanation As to the material of which comets are composed Theorists will have to russs again. It would have been 8 much mors plausible argument however extrsVsgant, had it been asserted that said comet is an snoruous diamond of the first water.

TIE SUMMING LIP
Irish Emigration.

The emigration from the south of
Ireland is going on with contagious en-
thusiasm, the weeping and wailing
heard at former departures being sup
planted by encouraging cheers and
other tokens of JOY. This is spoken of
at Queenstown as promising to be the
most active year yet known in the busi-
ness of shipping emigrants. The regu-
lar steamers are all overcrowded, and
hundreds are left behind, camping about
in the railway stations and elsewhere,
to be taken up by the next vessels.
Two thousand arrived at Queenstown
en- the 9TH, of which number but one
half were shipped. The counties of
Kerry, Tipperary, Limerick and Water
ford, report of the people who are about
leaving, that they are all young and
healthy, of the farming and laboring
classes, and many of them coming out
70 join relatives and friends in America.
We welcome the substantial wealth, in
laborious industry, which England is
but too willing to be rid of. As things
are proceeding, it cannot be long before
Ireland will be wholly in the United
States-the free nation at last which it
would be, though on strange but hospi-
table soil.-BOStOn Post.

that while the Governor bath music in

could not suppress his contempt for the
Presidentlwho produced it.


Presidentlwho produced it.
THE CARPET BAGGERs CAUTIOUS.
The carpet-baggers wear the sorest
heads in the party. Because the South
b fore the war had more than her share
of offices, the Administration is deter
Ilmined to cast the smallest possible hand
full of crumbs to the aspirants of that
section. The Administration further
holds that the Republican Voters and
leaders of the South have neither abili-
ty nor standing. For this reassn, and
because "the white vote was so small
down there" Southern 'tloyalty" is left
with little practical recognition, and
the adventures from the North, who
assume to speak aud act for RadicaliSm
in Dixie, are sorrowful and savage.
SAWYER, South Carolina Senator, lately
imported to that State from Massachu-
sets, fairly represents the feeling of the
carpet-bag element. He declares that
"the Administration has pursued exact
ly such policy as will demoralize and
dishearten the Republican party in the
South, and that General GRANT and Mr..
FISH have verified the taunt of the
Southern whites to the Southern Sena-
tors, that they represent nobody"
~.
When GRANT surrendered to the Sen
ate in the Tenure Of Office struggle,
BEN. BUTLER thus pleasantly dis
coursed. "The President doesn't know
anything more about law than an old
hen, and any one can wind him around
his fingers"
SHOT FROM sPRAGUE.
SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, whose as
saults upon Radical corruptions have
produced the great sensation of the day,
takes mournful leave of GRANT. He
says: "He is utterly tied up by the pei
iticians have no hope for him; have
departed from him."
THE TENNESSEE TORMENT,
Parson BROwNLOw, finds strength, in
the last stages of physical decay, to
anathematize "the coming man."
FOWLER, from the same State, has
openly broken with the President, and
no longer has for him either love or
respect.
Examples of this sort might be multi
piled indefinitely. The organs, the
leaders and the rank and file of the
Republican party have ceased to speak
of their President in any other terms
than thsse of indifference or contempt.
All seem to acquiesce in
THE SUMMING UP

of Kansas, who fairly represented the

GROWLS AT GRANT.
II HE HAPPY FAMIL
SYMPTOMS OF DECAY.

The Republican party is sadly asham'
ed of its President. The squaDble fol
Office has soured and disaffected large
majority of the leading Radicals of the
country, and GRANT comes in for an
abundance of curses. "The greatest
man of the age" has become the weakest
of the century, and if the exponents OF
Radicalism are to be believed, he viii!
be known in history only as bungler,
whose blunders were the ruin of the
party that placed him in power. We
append few samples of the current
Radical expressions upon the subject
WHAT wAsHBURNE THINKS.
WAsHBURNE, the inventor of the
present President, says that "GRANTs
selection of Mr.. FISH, as Secretary Of
State, has ruined the party, and that IN
every State, except Vermont, Iowa and
Massachusetts, all coming elections will
go against the Repu bllcans."
THE FRIENDS OF FISH
Contend that "WAsHBURNE put mp
General GRANT to the selection of all
their mutual friends and relatives, and
the very scandal Of such favoritism and
nepotism has been even less than the
outrageous incompetency, the gross
corruption, and the notorious character
OF the appointments themselves"
IOWA INDIGNANT.
The Republicans of Iowa put in their
grievance thus: "Our State gave as
large a proportional majority as Massa-
chusetts, and yet, after offering the
State Department to JAMES F. WILSON,
aud after he had accepted it, it became
impossible for him to enter it because
an Illinois fool and swaggerer WASH
BURNE) was put into it, to whom WILL
son was to play second fiddle by a sub
sequent entrance on the charge. Then
we asked the appointment of MIR. WILL
son as Minister to England. 1t was
given to Massachusetts, author, whose
best claim was that he had q quarrel
with Mr.. SEWARD. Then we asked the
appointment of our present foremost
Congressman, Mr.. ALLISON, to first
class mission, and all our State gets is
the appointment of an unknown Mr..
HUDSON to Guatemala, and he is a
blood cousin to the President himself,
and has been living in the White House
ever since GRANT entered it; and aneth
er man, L. G. GLASGOW, is made Consul
to Havre, only and just because he has
been a real estate and railroad operator
for WAsHBURNE himself, who wants him
ut Havre, and who thought that, with
GLASGOW there and GIBBS in Paris, he
c"uld do a tiourishing business in eX-
narts -
