peared again, and now the two
comets were nearly two million
miles apart. They disappeared
from view about the end OF
September, and have meyer
been seen since, although they
must have returned in 1859,
and again in 1866 and 1872
The return of 1866 was quite
favorable, but although the
most powerful telescopes
searched for it, all was in vain.
The comet had vanished from
the heavens.
The earth. had crossed the Or
bit of this comet about the end
OF November. Professor New
ton was thus led to infer that,
though lost to sight, the frag-
ments Of the comet would be-
seen about that time striking
the atmosphere as shooting
stars. This prediction was fully
verified by the event. On the
evening of November 27, be-
tween the hours of six and
eight, a remarkable shower of
meteors was observed, the as
tronomers of the Naval 0 Observ-
atory counting several hundred,
And further, the direction Of
their motion correSponded, rs
nearly as could be judged, to
that of the lost comet. In con.
sequence, the Washington as
tronOmers entertain no serious
doubt that the meteoric shower
was really caused by the
earth's meeting the debris OF
the comet.-Harper's Maya

A Man Who Never Fills Out
His Term.

The Chicago Evening Jour
nal relates the following of the
present Governor of Illinois,
"No sooner did General John
L. Beveridge return from the
war in which he was a gallant
cavalry officer, than he was
nominated for Sheriff of this
county, and elected. Before
his term as Sheriff had expired,
he was elected State Senator.
Before his office Of Senator ex-
pired, he was nominated and
elected Congressman for the
State at large, to fill the va.
cancy caused by Gen. Logan's
resignation. Last fall, before
his term for Congressman had
expired, he was nominated and
elected Lieutenant Governor,
which position he entered up
on two weeks ago; and now,
Gov, Oglesby having resigned,

WHIPPING CHILDREN.
ExtractfrOm Mr.. Beecher's last
Sermon.

Sermon.
Look at it in the household
in the process of rearing chill
dren. When children are not,
but are merely the shadow of
things to come, while they yet
lie helpless in the parents
arms, they must be cared for,
and this must go on up to GER
tain point where government
begins. Just as soon as the
child gets large enough, the
teaching of the child to-, take
care of itself begins; he is
taught how to walk, how to use
his hands, and after a little
time, the child, learning some
OF the primary physical truths,
begins to learn moral ard So
cial truths from another child
just ahead of him, while an
other just behind him learns
of him, and the three have to
get along together, and by-and-
by there are five or six, and all
have to live together, apd so
comes the gradual deHelop-
ment of character upon the
footing of selt-restraint, learn
ing TO take care OF self by suf.

theory of punishment ia the
family. Many persons object
to physical punishment for
children, but they might as

Child suffer pain when it stun,

Improved Liquid Glue.

An improved liquid glue, &C.
cording to the Journal of APP
piled Chemistry, may be pre-.
pared by disso.ving tlr Q
parts of glue, broken into small
pieces, in twelve to fifteen
parts of sSccharate of lime
On warming, the glue dissolves
rapidly, and remains liquid
when cold, without losing its
strength. Any desirable con,
sistency may be secured by
varying the amount OF saccha,
rate of lime.
The thicker glue keeps its
muddy color, the thin becomes
clear, on standing. The saccha.
rate of lime is prepared by
taking one part of Loaf sugar
and dissolving it in three parts
of water, adding to tho sugaS
one-fourth part Of its weight OF
Stacked lime, and heating the
whole to 1450 or 1862 aud 81
lowing it to macerate for
several days, with frequent
shaking. The greater part Of
the lime will be thus dissolved.
and the solution may be de-
canLed from the lime sediment
which has the properties OF
mucllage.
The solution OF the glue iN
the saccharate of lime may be
made very readily, and even
old gelatine, which has be-
come iuSoluble in water, will
be easily dissolved. The glue
has great adhesiveness, and
admits of very many uses

synopsis of their doirgs and purposes
One half the elevators aad grain ware
houses in the State are now owned and
controlled by the oranges, and no less than
100000, bushels Of grain were shipped
to Chicago on Grange account prior to De
cember LIST. The number of cattle and
hogs shipped in the same manner is enor-
nous, and the reports received from their
shipments show an increased profit TO the
farmers of from ten to forty per cent, as
compared with the usage received at the
hands of the middleman in times previous.
In the matter of purchasing agricultural
implements direct from the manufacturers,
the Grange purchases Of the State have
saved the farmers, by computation and

REPUBLICAN pECENCY.

At the last election Connecticut elected
a Democratic Governor and other State
officers by some 1900 majority; Demo
cratic House of Representatives by some
IS or 80 majority, and a Republican Sen
ate by majority, thus making the Leg
islature Democratic by large majority.
Any fair man would say, therefore, that
the Democrats were entitled TO the officers
to be elected by the Legislature The
Democrats in the House chose three good
men for Superior Judges; the Repubh-
cans in the Senate chose three other men,
and refused any compromise. The result
is that the Legislature has adjourned with,
