The CoMET's TAlL.-The existence Of re-
polling force was suggested by tine fact that
a comat's tail pointing eastward when the
comet is east OF the sun, points northWard
and westward as the comet itself moves
arouca to the norta and west Of the sun.
Yet, as there is no Conference in the tail. it is
evident that no repslIng force from the SUP,
whea it is to the east of the sun, can have
any tendency to b1ing it around to the west
of the sun. The fact is that the tail which
is to be seen to the west of the sun is CON-
posed of entirely different matter from that
which was seen to the east. The former
matter has been repeled SO far from the sun
and has been so exI anded that it has become
invisible; and new matter has been repelled
from the nucleus, forming Il new tail upon
the western side.-H. u. P0frahursl In Neao
York Iri6uae.

Mir AQUEOUS ESCAPE Prom DEAfH.-An
escape from death which seemed almost
miraculous has recently come to our ,knoWl
edge. The facts are these: Mr. George
az. Stevens, of Marshan, WAS engaged in dig
ging q, well, and sunk 1t about thirty feet.
NJ hen he came to the bedrock, which proved
too hard to be worked with shovel and pick,
and blasting. had to be resorted to. The last
time Mr.. Stevens Hasyiu the well he had
put in, O heavy blast, and had with him an
open can containing five pounds Of. powder.
at the same time he had fifty feet Of fuse
wound around his left arm. After at
taching one end Of the fuse to the
charge OF powder in the rock, be took out
his knife and cut the same, leaving it sufh-
GENTLY long to be ignited by lighted sbavings
thrown from above. Now, In cutting the
fuse, he ignited it, At once seeing the dam
ger he was in, he took the can Of powder,
placed it between his knees, and grasped the
rope with which he was lowered into the
we'll with both hands. lie shouted to the
man at the windlass to hoist, and UP George
went with the fuse around his arm,
suffering, fzziBg, and throYing the
sparks all over him until he was drawn
nearly to the surface, when the powder
in the can exploded, throwing him to the
surface in q hurry, the blast from below Civ
ing voice nearly at the same time On ex-
animation, 1t was found that he was badly
burned in every part of the body, and had
no capillary substance about him worth
mentioning, whiskers, hair, eyebrows, dc.
all having shared the same adjourned
completely off. The arm around which the
fuse had been was very badly burned, and
for time it was feared that amputation
would be necessary, but we are glad to say
that bis arm will be saved, and that be is
now able to be around again.

"CATHARINE GAUNT."-While at Schoharie
Mrs. Triton, it will be remembered, wrote
letter to her husband, in which she says
"Through the ministry Of Catherine Gaunt
character OF fiction, my eyes have been
opened for the first time in my experience,
so!that I see clearly my SIM"
Perhaps the following description, from
Griffith Gaunt, Of pulpit orator (Rev. Mr..
Leonard may have opened her eyes little
Your mechanical preacher filings his words
out happy -go-lucky, but the pulpit orator,
like every other orator, feels his peoples
pulse as he speaks, and Vibrates with them
and they with him. - S. = s.s'' ~
So Leonard soon discovered he had great
listener In Mrs. Catharine Gaunt; she was
always there whenever he preached, and her
rapt attention. never tagged. Her gray eyes
never left bis face, and, being upturned, the
full orbs came out in all their grandeur, and
seemed an angels come down from heaven
TO hear him I; for, indeed, to livery dark man,
as Leonard was, the gentle radiance OF true
Saxon beauty seems always more or hess
angelic.
! By degrees this face became help to the
orator. In preaching. he looked sometimes
to1it for sympathy and. 10 !. it was sure TO
be melting with sympathy. Was he led on
to higher or deeper thoughts than most OF
his congregation could understand, he looked
to this face to understand him, and ID :! it
bad quite understood him, and was beaining
with intelligence.
From q help and an encouragement ID be-
came comfort and a delight to him.
On leaving the pulpit, and cooling. he re-
membered its owner was no angel, but a
woman OF the world, and had put TO- him
frivolous questions.
The Illusion, however, was so beautiful
that Leonard, being an imaginative man.
was unwilling TO dispel it by coming into
familiar contact with Mrs. Gaunt. So he
used to. make bis assistant visit her.

dyke built by the city Of 81. Louis at the loot
of Bryan street, near the head OF Arsenal

heretofore flowing west Of the Island,

Oy removing the dyke, which would be only
a partial rem dy, or by building dyke from

As 10 divert the main channel into the old bed
