a HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL. - We
learn that President Benet of the Ma
sonic Female College at Cokesbury has
been made the recipient of a handsome
testimonial from the lady pupils of
the College. The present consisted of
beautiful silver goblet which was
presented at the close of the session by
Miss Glass OIL the part OF the young Ia
dies in touching and appropriate ad-
dress, and which was responded to by
President Benet in fitting terms. 1t is
pleasant to chronicle these little cpis-
odes, which break up the mouotony of
life, and call forth the most cherished
feelings Of our nature. They reflect
equal honor upon giver and recipient.

Professor Swift, who e-discovered this comet
in America, originally discovered by M. Cog
gia, in Alarseilles, says there is no probability
of the tail of the comet enveloping the earth
or MOON The elements of this comet do not
resemble those of any comet that has appeared
during the last 1000 years. Its orbit is no
doubt parabolic, and it is visiting US for the
first and last time In the next two weeks
more will be learned of the physical nature of
comets by the spectroscope than has been
learned in 1000 years. Indications last night
and tonight are of subdivisions of the tail.
The comet is large and SO is the nucleus with
a disc more planetary than stellar. Should the
tail envelope the earth we should be insensible
to it, the matter composing it being so rare
The rate of motion is now thirty miles per sec

July it will be nearest the sun. The tail last
evening was seven or eight degrees in length
and on the side nearest the sunit had buncby,

new tail forming.

JONES OF NEvADA.-The Western press is
circulating the following anecdote at the ex-
pense of Senator Jones:
In the days when 'boed shirts were SIM
day luxury, the owners of those articles had
their names stamped on the bands below the
plats, and as the fashion of vests was not toll
Grated at that time (this was not in the ''earler
years of the reign of George III,'') the name
of the man conld be easily ascertained by
glancing at the waistband which was fully ex-
posed TO view. On one occasion Mr.. Jones
had attired himself hastily and in the hurry
had put ON a shirt stamped with the name Of
his roommate. j. Owens. "Hello!' said a
friend, you've borrowed boiled shirt for
holiday" ooh, no." said Jones, ''this is nv
shirt" well, there's another mans name on
it, pointing to the convin ing proof, -
Owens" But quick as a flash, when Jones
saw his mistake, he turned it to his ADVANTAGE:
"Oh, this is the way our Welsh folks spell the
family name, J -o-w-e-n-s, Jowens, or Jones as
you call it! Dye see?'
