~ An Eastern Astronomer gives it as his
opinion that early in August the tail of the COM
ct will envelop both the earth and the moon.
He thinks it will have no other effect than a
slight change in the atmosphere of the earth, and
may also give an atmosphere to the moon. The
moon has been hitherto uninba bitable, mainly
because it had no atmosphere. If this want is
supplied, the moon will become grand opening
for new settlements. Who will get mp the first
cOlonyi great part of the country il billy and

grants offered to railroads. A glorious opening
for those pure souls who find everything wrong
in the world. Here is a chance to start world

LONELY DAYS AT THE WHITE HoUsE.-These
are lonely days at the White House. To one of
the centennial committee of ladies' who waited
upon him last week, and invited him aud his
family to join the pilgrimage to Mount Vernon,
the President replied, while accepting for him
self, ~ have no family now. You know my
daughter is across the ocean, and my sons all
away. For the first time in twenty-five years
Mrs. Grant and myself are all alone" There is a
pathos in this few can fail to appreciate. The
only daughter, the idol of the household, has
gone to make her home among strangers; the
eldest son is attending to his military duties
elsewhere; the second son, Ulysses, is finishing
his course at Harvard and the youngest, jesse,
is at boarding school in Philadelphia.
So that ''fnr the first time in twenty-five years"
the President aud his wife are "alone." Loving
parents as they are, this being alone is doubtless
deeply felt by President and Mrs. Grant.-Hash-

men themselves maintain distant and high
toned regard for each other, but their friends
have concluded that the Democratic party is too
close a corporation to hold them both The

quarreling about it, Gov. Hendricks is looking
