The New Com eft.

This new cloud of coSmcal dust Is to
become IN few wee ks one of the most
splendid meteOrs ever witnessed. 1t was
first discovered on April II, 1874. by
NJ. Coggia, at Marseilles, small, but
having an intense nuclear condensation.
Its polar distance was about 20 degrees
10 minutes and % seconds, aud it was
moving slowly towards the southwest.
1t was first visible in the early morning,
but is now also visible in the evening.
1t has been increasing in brightness,
and by sharp and somewhat practiSed
eye, can be seen in the constellation
Cam leopard in right ascension about
seven hours and declination about 70
degrees north. 1t is now recedng from
the sun aud is diminishing in actual
size and brightness, but as it Is ap-
preaching nearer to us its bri.liancy Is
apparently augmented.
This luminous meteor, which is nam-
ed Comet III. OF 1874, is wholly outside
of the earth's orbit, but, as it moves on
It's fiery track, will on the Bird of Au-
gust attain its maximum beauty and
brightness for us. When first described
by NJ. COGgiaiIs brightness wasonly one
in the scal' now it Is seven; but after
the lst of July it will reach II much
higher degree of luminosity, and on the
3rd OF August will have Il brightness of
245. These figures will afford the
reader an idea OF what an astrunomlc
treat he may look forward toin August.
There is something 50 won ieriul to
the human mind, aud SO surp lssing all
attempts to fatl.om; in these enormous
volumes OF cometary matter, whirling
through planetary space, that every eff
iolt should be made to analyze and
spectroScopicallyte test their nature. AL.
ready The telescope has revealed nearly
seven huniiel comets, and every wear
we nave one or two ne " ones. Greater
activity among equipped star. gazers
would PROBABLY show much larger
number rushing along On or near the
tarth's orbit. The disturbing effect on
the earth's atno phere of such a comet
aS llalley's, Whose tail was nearly 90
OOO miles long, aud whose temprrpture
was more hah 25,OO0 times that OF the
MONDAY sun at Tie Equator, is a PROB
lem well worthy of more accurate inyeS-
tlSaiion than 1t has ever received As
yet 1t does not appear that Coggia's
comet, the 2nd OF 1874, Is associated
With the stream of August mete0rs; bat

Louis XVIII, of whom, it seems, we
ARE never to hear the last The educ"
ut all events, took great pains to inform
himself of all the particulars which,
(SuppoSing him to have been tile ill-la-

still to be seen there, consisted of books,
pamphlets, and papers 0i all kinds,
many hundreds in numbers, but all,
with one execution, connected with the
story OF the French Revolution. 1t is
necessary to add that the quait old
chateau possesses its ghost story? An
English family, it is soIemnly stated 10y
the neighbOrS, were twenty years ago
tenants of the house. Tnpy went to
sleep as usual one night, but next morn

knew them no more. They had dsap-
peaIed utterly from the face of the

thelnterestng point. Had the lost fami-
ly paid their bills?

and their sureties, for 5000 damages. The
claim is based on the refusal or neglect of the
one to audit and the other to pay warrant OF
the City Park Commissioners held by Rider.
It is considerd about time the Advisory
Board was taking some action looking to the
removal Of the man Baquie, State Supervisor
of the
ELEVENTH WARD.
The complaints against him have been many
and we'll founded. He seems to think that
white voters have no rights which he is bound
to respect, and every obstacle that he can he
throws in the way of their registration
Particularly are his efforts directed against
naturalized citizens, but SO successful
has been his plan of retarding registration
of all white citizens, that it is stated, that to
date. the books show that something like HOO
hundred white men less have been registered
than there was for the same number of days
in 1872.
The attention of the Advisory Board has
been called by citizens to this Office, and yet
no action has been taken.

1t is dimy reported that the DR.. Guillotin, who
was the inventor of the in-famous guilotne,
himself suffered death beneath its axe. Spiritu-
alistic communications have never drawn from
him an expression Of opinion to whether he
still continues to regard his invention IN the light
of phianthropic machine for renovating So
ciety or not.
So about the prosecutions under the Ku-Klux
act. Attorney General Pandarus Williams may
look upon its application to the citizens of Lou
isiana as mere gentle purgative, calculated to
remove all bile excited BY kellogg's usurpation
and kna very, and therefore likely to restore the
health of the body polite. But when he comes
to apply it, like DR.. Guillotin, he may, be unable
to report as to whether it came up to his expecta
tions or not, and for pretty much the same rea-

THE CoLoRED PEOPLE UNHAPPY

The address of colored men to the people
of Louisiana, was issued yesterday in an extra
Louisianian and extensively distributed. The
substance Of the address is, in mild tone, an
arraignment of the Kellogg administration
and of the carpet-baggers who hold Office
under it, The colored people true, with
great Justice, claim that they are the Republi-
can party.
They, by their votes, elected Kellogg, and
they say ''there is species of mystery, as
far as we are concerned, about the plan of the
campaign and the policy Of the administra-
ton.
The prominent officers Of the administra-
ton have not been consulted, and they
have been " deprived of all participation
and knowledge Of the confidential work
ings of the party and Government.
These remarks are correct; and we are
surprised that the colored citizens never
discovered before that they were used as
the stepping stone to Office by such men as
Kellogg and Clinton. They may rest assured
. that in future, they will receive the same con-
sideration from the white Republicans as they
have in the past. Their only protection is, to
throw overheard. not their allies, but Their
foes, who have used them for selfish and cor
rupt ends

A MONSTER EXCURSION.

We had the pleasure of visit from two
genial Kentuckians who, like every native Of
the old blue grass State, were hale and hearty
and overlooking with that good humor so pro-
verbally prevalent in Kentucky. The two
gentlemen, Messrs. Jno. Martin, Jr., and T.
H. Baker, of the Kentuckian, of Paducah,
are on visit to this city as the arant
comriers of grand excursion now being
for q trip to our city.
They come here for the purpose Of making
arrangements for the reception and accommo-
dation of the guests soon to be with us.
1t is estimated there will be over $500 pas
sengers on the special through trains from all
parts Of Kentucky, as well rs from Cairo.
Metropolis and Shawneetown, Ill. The flock
of sight seers will arrive here about November
9th. The two above named gentlemen who are
busy in making all the necessary preparations
will have their hands full. They propose get
ting up guide to the points of interest in the
neighborhood of our city, and will solicit adj
vertisements from our merchants to be added
to the work.
We understand the Paducah Base Ball
Club has challenged our clubs, and will, dur
ing the visit of our friends, play a series OF
games. We sincerely trust that Messrs. Mar
tin and Baker will meet with that welcome the
nature of their visit entities them to, and
when they introduce us to their brigade OF
friends in November, they will have earned
the we'll wishes of every citizen.
