COMETS. Many people have no doubt felt
somewhat uneasy at the prospect of this planet
and a certain comet coming into collision next
August, which occurrence has been predicted
by Swiss professor of astronomy. What the
result Of such meeting would be, is not well
known to the majority Of mankind. For aught
they can tell, the earth would be dashed into
millions of pieces and hurled through space
or it might be burned into cinder and be alb
sorbed by the moon. We feel great pleasure
therefore, in stating, on the authority of that
excellent scientific journal, Nature, that we
actually passed through comet as late as 1861,
and that i is possible we are passing through
one every day. las as Arago computed their num-
are very harmless affairs, and that their COM
ing against our planet can hurt them. but not
us-unless they hurt.us by exercising subtle
influence over our mental organization, and
making us ripe for all manner of mischief

Several prominent Boston merchants are in
Washington urging upon the attention Of Con-
gress the importance of doing something to
sustain the wooden ship building interests Of
the United States. They contend that the
question as to the use of wood or iron in the
construction of vessels is one which should be
left to the decision of the men who invest their
money in ships, and to the under writer's who
insure them, and that legislation should be so
framed as not to discriminate in favor of the
iron ship building interests of Pennsylvania as
against the wooden ship building interests
of New England.

"PRoGRESs' -So-CALLED. this time
nothing perhaps seriously threatens the
institutions OF the country, both political and
social as what may be termed the unrcstrained
spirit OF progress. which pcrvadcs the public
mind. r. it is attributable, NOR" than to any
other cause, many of the evils which are
peculiar to the age 1t has become 50 wide
spread In its scope. So extreme III its exercise
that no class or condition escapes the unhappy
effects of it's influence. 1t aggravates the excr-
else of power to the oppression OF right, ignores
all the guarantees of safe and conservative
principles established by precedents based upon
justice and expedency, and violates the Sc.
curities of society perpet uated in the settled
order of things.
That its practical results are OF such import
ance as to demand recognition OF Its exlstenc.

circumstances, need only look about him. In
der it's sway political factions and wings exer-
else monopoly Of power. which power Is naln-
tanned and augmented by their be>towal OF pat
ronage, and the people By allowing their pecu
liar privileges to be thus wrested from them
tacitly conccde that such things are dictated
by the demands of an advancing civilization.
1t is unfortunate that this spirit is not more
manifest in the efforts for material improve
ments except when developed in railroad rng>.
stock companies. and other overgrOwn corpora
tons, organized and controlled by officials high
in authority to the exclusion Of an honorable
competition. It will be contaminated by no
conservative element which rctards the won.
dcriul undertakings controlled aud directed
through its agency. 1t matters not what rights
are to be violated, what securities to be sacrl
feed, who is to suffer; all things must succuuh
which oppose the great end of its tendency.
The result and not the means is the conSldera-
ton, and how often the end attained is NOT
less to be deplored than the means by which it
is accomplished The great Republican party
with AL of its attendant oppression, corruption
and wrongs assumes, above all others, in the
estimation of its leaders, IAN incompatible excel
lency IN that it is denominated the party Of
progress
The incredible Increase of this spirit confines
itself not to that sex to whose hands is conhd.d
