New Theory About Comets Tails.

At q recent meeting of the Law
renee (Kansas) Academy of Science q
paper entitled "Speculations on the
Nature of Comets Tails" was read by
Professor Fredrick w. Bardwell, who
took the ground that q comets tail
is no more part of the comet than
is shadow a part of the object which
gives it form. He supposes that the
resisting medium. surrounding the
sun for great distance is itself self
luminous in degree, as indicated by
the zodiacal light; that the nucleus
OF comet is merely large meteor
ite; that, in its radid motion through
the resisting medium near the sun,
great heat is thereby developed, in
creased by the heat Of the sun causing
some of the elements of the nucleus
to become volatilized, and thus to pre-
sent the phenomena of the coma with
its glowing gas; and, finally, that the
bright train called the tail is merely
an effect of an increased luminosity of
the rising medium behind the comet
caused by the action of the sunlight
passing through the glowing gas of the
coma, and projected beyond in form
usually approaching that of conical
surface. He predicts that, on the ap-
pearance of comet with bright train
the tests of spectrum analysis will
show that this train is not nebulous, as
Bessel and others have supposed, and
not a meteoric character, like that of
the nucleus, as Schiaparelli and LIE
Verrier supposed, but chiefly of a 20
diacial nature, and probably, in a
slight degree, rejecting sunlight

Tricks of Washoe Undertakers.

A night or two since, while on his
beat through B street, Officer Shirts
found an inebriated individual repos-
ing on bench in front of Wilson &
Browns undertaking establishment.
The officer shook the fellow until he
awoke from his drunken slumber and
then explained to him that he would
be obliged to escort him to the station
house unless he hunted other quarters.
The man told the officer that he was q
stranger in the town, that he had but
four bits, and the night being warm
he had concluded it would be good
economy to. sleep out of doors and save
his four bits to buy his breakfast in
the morning. Not being hard
hearted man, the officer told the fell
low that he might finish his snooze,
provided he would get up and move
out of sight before the people were
astir on the streets. Passing that way
again in the course Of an hour or two,
Shirts found that his "snoozer" mad
rolled off the bench and was lying in
the empty case of a coffin which was
sitting at the edge of the sidewalk.
Rousing his man again, the officer
told him he "must get out of there"
"Out o. what ?" grumbled the fell
low.
"Why, out of that cof1inv said
Shirts-though it was but one of those
large coffin-shaped cases in which cof-
fins are shipped.
"Who's in coffin 2" said the
fellow, rubbing his eyes.
"Why, you are" said Shirts.
"If lam don't know it,"
"Well, know it, and if you don't
get out of that it will be the end of
you. Don't you know that if the un-
dertakers get up in the morning and
find you snoozing in there they'll clap
a lid on the coffin, nail you up and
bury you, and then send in a bill and
make the county pay your funeral ex-
penses?n
Crawling out of his narrow quarters,
the fellow stood and gazed upon the
coffin-shaped case for time, then
said:
"What sort o. id undertakers you
got here in this country, that go and
set collins 'longside the sidewalks fur
to ketch men ?" and without waiting
for an answer, he shuffled away to find
safer quarters. Virginia Enterprise,

Our Tobacco Industry.
From the Sacramento Record.

From the Sacramento Record.
That tobacco could be produced in
our State in great quantities has long
since been settled by many satisfacto-
ry experiments. But that it could be
cured so as to render it valuable or
desirable, seemed almost as satisfacto-
rily settled by many experiments in
the negative, and the prospect for the
cultivation and manufacture of tobac-
co was rather unfavorable, until the
successful results from experiments
made by Mr.. Kulk of Watsonvllle,
Santa Cruz county.
The success of these experiments has
given great stimulus to this indus
try, and tobacco culture seems now
likely to become one of our leading
industries. Last year Santa Clara
had 2,S00,000 plants, and produced
100000 pounds of tobacco. The follow
ing is the number of plants now grow
ing in the State and the estimated
yield in pounds:

The New York Times says: We have
succeeded in greatly reducing the
number of cut-worms by enticing a
flock of poultry into the field while it
was being plowed. The fowls followed
the plow closely, picking up every
cut-worm exposed, and searching
every furrow for more. There is no
other way of ridding the fields of these
vermin but by encouraging their nat
ural enemies. These are the crows and
blackbirds, which devour the grubs,
and skunks and moles, which devour
both the grubs and beetles, of which
they are the larvae. While these crea-
lures are killed or driven off, we
shall suffer from the depredations Of
the insects, which are their natural
prey. To prevent the destruction OF
the young corn by the cut-worms to
some extent, the seed should be rolled
In common pine tar and then dried in
plaster before it is sown.

Those who have commenced the cul-
tivation of tobacco this year are just
in time to reap the advantages that
very poor crop in nearly all the East
ern States is likely to bring them. In
Kentucky, Missouri and others of the
principal tobacco producing States, the
late Spring and cold wet weather have
very much injured the crop there and
as a consequence the prices of tobacco
have very much appreciated. Since
last January they have advanced
nearly SO per cent.

Governor Kellogg has seen ft to address q
long dispatch TO the President defending HIM
self from the various charges made against
him, and justifying his course in the aiminis-
tration Of affairs in Louisiana for two years

there were outstanding from previous admin
istrstiOHs auditors checks on the treasurer,
known as Estate warrsnts," which the treas
uTer had been unable 10 pay for lack of funds
TO the amount in round numbers of ;, 800 900.
There were outstanding bonds issued before
and since the war to the amount of - $50 900.

Of these bonds was authorized by acts of thu
Legislature, passed previous 20 his coming into

by decision OF the supreme Court as TO the
hrst issue, ana by the written opinions of the
law officers of the State as TO the latter. Since
he has occupied the executive chair the LegIs-
lature has authorized the Issuing Of no bonds To
increase the indebtedness of the State, The
outstanding ~2,soo,O-O was OF floating in iebted

reduced under his administration to less than

by an energetic collection of deIinqueut taxas

NOT THE MAN HE THOUGHT.

Some years ago young naval officer
was dispatched with message to Commo-
dore Stewart, then at his home in New
Jersey. When he reached the Commo-
dore's country seat. he saw an old man
hauling manure from the barn yard. Sup
posing him to be one of the hired hands,
he approached and sung out:
"IIelloa, old fellow Is the Commo-
dore at homeo"
"Yes, +" responded the bare-footed, shah
billy dressed man; just walk up to the
house.
The officer strutted pompously up to the
house, and was quickly seated in the par
Tor. Soon perceiving the same person pass
ing the window, he again asked:
Well, old man, how soon will the Com
modore be here?"
/" In a very short time, now quickly
answered the person addressed.
Presently the very same cold fellow y
entered the room and announced to the
horror stricken messenger, 81 am the
COMMUNICATIVE do yoG wish ~
The astonishment on the young officers
face can better be imagined than describ-
ed. He briefly delivered his message, and
then received such "lecture" from the
Commodore as he was not likely to forget
After promising to respect old age always
aflerward, he took his departure, much
wiser, and much more crestfallen than he
came.

THE following poem was written in Ire
land by Mrs. Brasseya Allen, previous to
the year 1885. Some weeks since we pub
lished poem by the same writer, " sup
posed to be spoken by Hannibal when look
ing on the body of Marcellus,' The ver-
sitication is very smooth and the sentiment
pure and elevated:l
Was man superior to the brutes design'd,
Only to show the diff renee by his kind?
Shall he no masters, but his passions own
And madly chasing conscience from her
throne,
Pervert' each gift bounteous God has
given
Grasp at vain shadows, and relinguish
heaven?
Pleasure his darling, and his only aim,
Shall he lose reason in the guilty tame?
No! there's nobler purpose to pursue,
joys pure, and lasting, to be gain d, i'll view:
Life is bubble of uncertain date.
Yet on this bubble hangs eternal fate;
A day once lost we never can regain,
And life's stage we are to tread with pain;
Each fleeing moment bears warning on,
And bids its brother tell how soon twas
gone.
Let the covivial bowl pass freely round
And in gay pleasures wisdom's voice be
drowned,
Live while you can, be happy while you
may,
And trust to fortune for future day."
Thus speaks the youth that smiling vice
allures,
Who freights his bark, but gainst no storm
insures.
Unconscious, verging to an unknown coast,
Till, wrecked by death, his all with time
is lost
How small space there is tween youth
and age,
Our mem'ry shews in her instructive page;
Who hears the passing bell, should ask his
heart,
Is nv soul ready from the world to part?
Do faith and works my lamp with oil sup
ply?
Perhaps the call, I must obey, is nigh.
If we reflect, weighty task is ours,
Rightly to value and improve our powers;
Early to learn improving virtues love,
Amend our lives, and steer for heavens
calm shore,
Peace dwells alone where conscience reigns
contest,
The rule of action in the good mans
breast,
Who, fixing all his serious thoughts on
heaven,
Passing through life, fulfills the task that's
given;
9Th did thus his virtuous soul prepare,
With graces fitted for its genial sphere;
From every vain and hayward passion free,
He was whate'er mankind should strive to
be,
Sons of the world the glorious track pur-
sue,
And his example, as bright one view;
So shall you live, BELOVED, lamented, die,
And leave the world with guardian angels
nigh.
