EAVR YOU SEEN THE COMET !

The comet now approaching the earth
was first discovered at the observatory of
Marselles, France, by Mons Coggia, as
sistant astronomer there, on April H. The
tail, resembling half-Opened fan, is about
half degree in length, but as the course
Of its progress is not directly towards the
earth, it is anticipated that in four weeks
from the present time this appendage will
show to much greater advantage. When
the atmosphere is free from clouds stars
can at present be distinctly seen through
the nebulous haze surrounding the head
Of the comet and forming the tail By the
middle of July it will be lighting up our
heavens very brilliantly. 1t will attain its
maximum brightness about the Sd Of Au.
gust Its position may be determined by
attention to the following from Prof Dud-
ley:
Draw an imaginary line from Gamma il
the Dipper' through Al pha in the samt
constellation, continue it for twice the dis
taDce intervening between those two lines
which should be about thirty degrees above
the horizon, the comet may be seen at
| p, NJ.
The comet is at present surrounded by 9
number Of ill-defined stars forming the
breast of the "Camelopard, which render
it, even with the aid of an Astronomical
telescope, by no means easy of detection
But as it is nightly exhibiting increased
brilliancy and magnitude and will continue
to do SO if it follows the path already tray
ersed for nearly two months to come, it is
expected that many interesting and valua
BILE features of such erratic visitors MAY
be observed and recorded.

REPUBLICAN PAPERS HAVE NO WORDS
OF SYMPATHY FOR wORKINGMEN.
Go to Work or Get out is the Alternative OF
fered

1t is noticeable fact that the author
lied administration organ in Rock Island
has no word of sympathy with the work
ingmen at the Arsenal, but finds plenty of
excuses for ordering them to--"take what
is offered, shut your mouths, or be dis
charged"
The sympathy of the Davenport admin
istration paper leans the same way That
paper, ike the Union, copies the masons'
petition from THE ARGUS, and makes a
brief statement of the condition of affairs
at the Island. The Gazette then closes by
the following remarks
This petition was listened to respect
fully, but Col Flager said he could not con-
sent to continue the old wages The new
rates are the same as are being paid to
stone cutters and masons on the custom
houses at Chicago aud Des Moines, and
we're not complained of in either OF these
places. The wages there were considered
ample and sufficient for the support OF the
laborers and their families, and there is nc
reason why the same should not be trut
here.
so the stone cutters and masons on the
Island will be obliged to go to work at the
reduced rates this morning or consider
themselves discharged. One man qul
work at 10 clock, yesterday, but it is be
lieved that the rest will keep on at work
There are plenty of workmen ready to taxi
the places of all who leave, and hence Col
Flagler is safe in remaining firm in the po
sition he has taken.

The Jewish Dietary System.

The dietary code relates almost entirely to
animal food. None Of the products of ths
vegetable kingdom are, under ordinary circum
stances, forbidden, nor is the manner of their
use limited. there is in fact, in reference 10
them, no dietary law whatever of practical

As to animal food, the first ordinance reauires
that the quadruped fowl or fish shall be. in ths
Biblical sense, ''clsan." The law on that poipt
Is laid down IN Levticus Ii. and is partially
reiterated IN Deuteronomy xiv; and in all the
many centuries that have since expired il has
undergone no alteration. There we see that
quadrupeds, to be fit for food must chew the
cud and be cloven-footsd and some that are
clean snd number that are forbidden, ars par

llst, We may say that among animals net estsn

and the rabbit Those famed delcacies. bears
paws and beavers tails, are in the catalogue OF
the prohibited. In China, an orthodox Israelits
cannot partake OF the cat, nor in Brazil of the

Guilty consists in identifying those that ars by

EXCUSE My GLOVE Certain kinds of
mistaken Doliteness, sincere az they are, are
absurd enough to be grotesqus. A common
mistake Of this sort with soma persons, even in
large cities, is to say Excuse my glove"
when they offer their hand to a casual acquaint-
ancs, or on introduction to a stranger. Ii
might be inferred from this remark that the
wearing of gloves is either extremely rare in
a civilized community, or that the wearer wish
es to advertise the extraordinary fact that he
has gloves. All he really. desires is to appear
polite, never suspecting for moment that he
is simply ridiculous.
If you Offsr 20 shake hands with any one in a
place where it is customary to wear gloves you
certainly need no excuse for compliance with
the habit. You might, with equal reason, on
receiving visitor at your house, apologize to
him for not removing your coat before bidding
him welcome.
The superfuous phrase probably had its
origin in the days when gloves were clum1y, and
used more for protection than as an essential OF
dress. Then the naked hands was thought to be
an evidence of good will and cordially Since
gloves have been ui. 5-f s4lly adopted, the idea
of asking pardon for wearing them is an al
chorism as we'll as an improperly.
