The Comet.

Mr.. Parkburst, the astronomer, still
has hopes" he says, of collision be-
tween the comets tail and the earth.
The following are some of the facts and
fancies about the comet, given to the
public by the knowing ones:
On July 18th the tail will extend far
beyond the Pole and develop a new
characteristic, tapering off rapidly to-
wards the end. Within three or four
days after the 10th the tail will have be.
come SO expanded in the neighborhood
of the Pole as to fill large part of the
northern heavens. Yet it will not be a
conspicuous object, because it will be so
faint as to look rather like an immense
cloud or new Milky Way than what it
really is. BY this time we shall have
solved the question whether the tail is
hollow or has radiated structure, or
what is its constitution.
WHAT IS TO BE THE UPsHoT.
OF the way in which this will end it
is not safe yet to speak with definiteness !;
for although if the tail were straight we
should be almost certainly near the mid
die of it on July goth, yet its curvature
will probably delay it two or three days
and even until the earth has passed be-
yond its path. The comet will then dis
appear to us but then the inhabitants
of the southern hemisphere, who may be
ignorant of the
CAUSE OF THE LUMINOSITY
Of the evening sky, will see it geadually
rise and pass away, and will be amazed
by the sudden appearance of comet Of
extraordinary sizeand unusual brilliancy
which will burst upon their vision as un
foreseen as the great comet of 1861
The gradual diminution and final disap.
pearance of the comet will be SO nearly
the converse of what we shall have wit
messed here that it needs no description
1t will, of course, leave us a portion OF
its atmosphere when it departs, but
probably, not enough to affect the baro.
meter, or to come within the cognizanee
even Of scientists. But there may be
by possibility, one permanent effect Of
scientific interest and curiosity. If The
earth should not entirely escape the
moon will also probably be involved
and it will also retain a portion of the
cometary substance. As the amount OF
the atmosphere upon the moons surfac,
is now so small, if, indeed, there is an,
at all, that it is unrecognizable by tn,
incest astronomical scrutiny, perhap
after the passage of the comet we shall
find that henceforth the moon will hav,
an atmosphere of greater or less density
which will materially modify the phe
nomena of OSCILLATIONS and solar eclip
SEES. Venus is safely out of the way. s
that the transit expedition will not b
interfered with.

A SMART LAwYER.-A LAWYER named
Hadnett, in Washington, who, during
the district investigation, sided with the
laboring men and held public meetings,
and issued one edition of newspaper in
their behalf, has secured from them an
agreement to pay him for his services
70 per cent of the amount due by the
public works. 1t is estimated there is
due this class of necessitous creditors

BARNuM AND HIS SALT MARsH.-A'
the recent dinner at Bridgeport, tender
ed to Mr.. Barnum by his friends and
neighbors, he made some confessions
One of these confessions was as follows
But there's a funny sideto my improve
ments and experiences in Bridgeport
When | first settled here knew nothing
about making new streets. erecting
buildings, laying out pleasure grounds,
etc.
had travelled considerably, and pick
ed up some knowledge of human nature
and that was all. Hence in making
improvements | made many ludi-
crous blunders | had bought up dur
ing several years numerous parcels of
land west of Fairfield avenue, and it so
happened that low piece of salt mead
ow lay between two pieces of my upland.
Thinking at some future time l might
want that salt marsh filled up, | called
on Deacon Silliman, the reputed owner,
and told him he had piece of salt
meadow | wished to buy.
81 have no salt meadow to spare"
said the deacon.
"Well, I'll let you have another piece
in exchange ! only want yours so as
to connect my two pieces of land, re-
piled.
al don't know which salt meadow you
mean" said the deacon.
Jump into my wagon and | will
show it to you in ten minutes" and
away we went. Arriving at the spot
pointed out the coveted piece of marsh.
Why, Mr.. Barnum, you have owned
that salt meadow these three years ex-
claimed the astonished deacon.

track, and all without second of warn
ing. The loss is estimated at at least
one million dollars. The trees in front
of Mr.. Summers house were blown down,

A GIRLS HERoIsM saved a number
of lives near Louisville, KY, a few
days ago. A portion of a picnic party
went to the picnic grounds in a covered
furniture wagon, aud the driver having
left his seat to fix something about the
wagon, taking the precaution to unhitch
the horse on the side next a steep bluff
along which the road ran, the horses,
becoming frightened, ftarted off, and the
wagon was rapidly nearing the bluff
when Nellie johnson, girl IA years of
age, climbed to the drivers seat reached
down over the dashboard and secured
the reins, and by the exertion of all her
strength brought the team, to standstill.
The affair is described as most thrilling
escape from terrible catastrophe, and
the little miss is the recipient of praise
from all sides in the vicinity of her
home.
