IMPORTANT AID TO THE NEEDY AND
UNEMPLOYED OF RICHMoND.-The spe-
cial committee for the relief of the poor,
appointed to consider the excellent sugges-
tions of bis honor Mayor Kelley, met last
evening.
Mayor Kelley being present, addressed
the committee in few remarks, enlarging
upon the views submitted by him in the
Communication above referred to.
Mr.. Bargamin favored the erection of o
reservoir, the cost of which, he believed,
including the land, pipes, etc., would not
exceed $4,000. The proposed site Of the
reservoir is about eight hundred feet south
of the present one. The work of con-
struction could be commenced in two
weeks.
Mr.. Davis offered the following resolu.
ton:
Resolved, That this committee deem the
construction of a reservoir an urgent
necessity, and the present favorable
opportunity to begin its construction, and
at the same time furnish labor to its idle
poor.
The resolution was adopted, and then,
on motion of Mr.. Scott, committee of five
was appointed to ascertain the probable
result Of an effort to raise means sufficient
to construct the reservoir, and to prepare
the plan for it's expenditure.
General Newberry was made chairman
of this committee, which will report to
an adjourned meeting of the committee to
be held next Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Straus read q carefully prepared
statistical statement of the cost of rations
for "out-door poor" on the basis Of
l. Bacon, 8 ounces; meal. l6 ounces

reputation. He is supposed to have
learned his art in the Italian city,
whence he was called, and under the
patronage Of tho King of Scotland tv
have practiced it in secrecy among
the Highland hills, as all his genuine

ONE Of the most eminent Of
European astronomers, MIR. Proc
tor, still advocates his favoriie
theory that most VI the short-per-
iod comets, with their meteoric
retinues were originally elected
from the lanets Jupiter, Saturn
and Uranus. Hitherto the general
view has been, and, indeed, still
continues to be, that these comets
came from outer space, and at first
moved in very elongated orbits,
which were afterwards altered to
their present form by the disturb
ing action Of the planets named.
But Mr.. Proctor points out very
clearly the nicely with which all
the circumstances Of the comets
encounter with tho planet would
have to be adjusted in order that
snch change Of orbit might re
suit, and the small intrinsic prob
ability Of such an adjustment in
any special case. Thus, to account
f.r the dozen comets of short per-
iod now known, it would be nee.
essary to assume that the number
Of comets moving about in space
is vastly greater than has ever
been supposed, or else that there
it some other way in which such
bodice might originate. Discuss.
ing, with unqncs'icnabIe power
and FEASIBILITY tie known facts
Of the suns erultive energy, and
the evidence of various kinds as
to the semi solar character OF the
major planets, Mr.. Pr, ctor comes
to the conclusion hero indicated.
