Not SWift's Comet,

A letter to the New York Tribune
says: In the account of the comet
which is now attracting popular atten-
ton, published in some of the daily pa
pers, Prof. Swift states that it was pre-
viously discovered at Marseilles on the
18th of April. Other accounts that
have appeared during the last week also
assert It's identity with the comet.
Unless I am very much mistaken,
hOweve the comet now visible is an
entirely new object from that discov-
cred April 18th, by Coggia, at Mar
seiIles. The latter Is now a few days
past its perhelion, and is too near the
sun to be visible. tsplace in the heaY-
ems at the date OF its discovery, by O
curious coincidence, corresponds very
closely with that of the present comet
vixen first found by Prof. Swift.
Neither can this comet be confOundej
with the one discovered on the 11tE OF
April by Weinecl1e /; as the elements OF
the orbit of the latter computed by the
writer from observations obtained on
the 18th, 18th, and 21st of April, show
that its perhelion passage occurred on
March IA, and it Is now rapidly reced-
ing from the sun aud the earth.
It is hardly credible that so consplcu.
ous object as this comet is, should moi
have been detected in Europe prev1'
ously to the 9Th inst, yet 1 have seen no
notice of such discovery.

The following account of the recent
fighting before EsteIla and the death of Gen.
Concha is derived from Carlist sources: The
republicans made their first attack on the left
bank of the river Ega, Thursday, and followed
it up Friday, on the eve of which day they had
forced the Carlists from their first defenses.
The next day, Saturday, they attempted to
carry by assault the heights Immediately COM
manding Estella. In this attack they failed
aud were driven back in disorder. Their re-
treat became a route when Gen. Concha was
mortally wounded. The total loss of the re-
publicans, in killed, wounded and missing,
was 1000. Gen. Echaques' entire division
narrowly escaped capture, and was saved only
by the extraordinary exertions of the artillery.
The assault was made during the night, under
cover of which the republicans succeeded in
Withdrawing all their cannon.

PATIENCE.
BY PHEBB CARY.

Why are we so impatient Of delay
Longing forever for the time to be ?
For this we live tomorrow in TO-DAY
Yea, sad tomorrow we may never see.
We are too hasty; are not reconciied
To let kind nature do her work alone:
We plant our seed, and like 8 foolish child
We dig it Up to see if it has grown,
The good that is to be we covet now
We can not wait for the appointed hour.
Before the fruit is ripe we shake the bouoh
And seize the bud that folds away the flower
When midnight darkness reigns we do not see.
That the sad night is mother of the morn ;
We can not think our own sharp agony
May be the birth-pang Of joy unborn.
Into the dust we see our idols cast
And cry that death has triumphed, life is void
We do not trust the promise, that the last
OF all our enemies shall be destroyed
With rest almost in sight the spirit faints,
And heart and flesh grow weary at the last;
Our feet would walk the city Of the saints
Even before the silent gate is passed.
Teach us to wait until Thou shall appear
To know that all Thy ways and times are lust
Thou seest that we do believe, and fear,
Lord, make US also to believe and trust!

that all had been done that could bj
done for Walter and Mary, and tn
people, except a few, who remained a,
watchers and helpers, dispersed to theil
| homes.
The three days that followed were
| bright, sunny days. A strange stiffness
| and unusual hush reigned in the neigh
borhood of the cottage The harsh,
| grating sound of the saw mill was stop
| ped in token of respect for the real sor.
row. Only the softly flowing stream
was heard, mingling SlESUTrtts with the
hum of the bees IN the garden.
Now and then groups OF children,
dressed in their Sunday attire, would
| come down the bank, and with hushed
voices and fearful looks steal up toward
the cottage door. Then kind Joe would
see them, and would come out and take
them in TO see Willie and after a few
moments they would issue forth again
and walk sadly homeward, and as they
went the sunlight dried Their tears.
And farmers and hunters came from
many miles away "to see the little boy
that was killed by a sheep" Some of
the rough men manifested their sympa-
thy by exhibiting vindictive feelings
toward the ram. After going in and
viewing the bruised corpse, they would
come out with dark, determined looks,
and grasping again the long rifles which
they had brought with them and stood
up' by the door, they would inquire of any
by standGr, with fierce emphasis, wheth-
er the ram that "did that" was dead.
On being informed of his execution,
they would say, "That will do" with
an air that implied how much they
would have enjoyed it to have shot at
him. Indeed, itappeared thatif the poor
brute had been possessed of fifty or
hundred lives so that each irate hunter
might have taken one, it would have
been a great relief and satisfaction.
On the fourth day Willie was buried.
Mary continued inconsOlable. All of
the social influences which the neigh
bOrhood could command were put in
operation from the time of the funeral
onward, in order to cheer her and bind
her wounded spirit. Social meetings
were held and pleasant little gatherings
made for her. Wherever there was en-
joyment Mary must be. She gracefully
submitted herself to all their kindness,
and tried to please her friends. But it
seemed to do her little good. She re-
mained pale, weak, and dispirited.
After few months Walter and Mary
discovered that somehow they were not
suited with their farm. They sold the
place at the first opportunity, and re-
turned to their former home in New
England, the remains of little Willie
having been forwarded in advance to a
cemetery there, with which they in their
early days had been familiar. "A tld7ltic

ROtundity Of the Earth.

One of those people with whom ''see-
ing is believing" and the deductions OF
logic and mathematics go for nothing
an EnglishmRn bearing the immortal
name of Hampden-recently risked
five hundred pounds on the assertion
that the earth could not be proved to
him by ocular demonstration to be
round-Or, more precisely, that the sur
face of a sheet of quiet water was fiat,
not curved. The bet was accepted by q
Mr.. A. r. Wallace presumably the
eminent naturalist of that nameD, and
the experiment was tried on the "Bed-
ford Level" w.ere a line of six miles
could be obtained. Three disks were
placed, one at each end of this line and
one at the center, each disk being ex-
actly 40 feet above the surface of the
water Immediately under it. The
three were then observed through a
selected and improved telescope, and
the central one was found to be about
five feet above the line Joining the two
others. That rise of five feet forced
Mr.. Hampden to come down with five
hundred pounds. It is to be be hoped
that he paid his water money. Any
surveyor could have told him that in
running levels over any considerable
distance it is necessary to make correc-
tions for the curvature of the earth,
as well as for refraction. These cOrrec-
tions become very important when it is
desired to survey a line for the con-
struction of ditch or canal. A man
sighting through a telescope at an OBJ
ject ten miles distant, aud apparently
on level, would be really looking at a
point nearly ffty-se7en feet higher in
altitude than his eye; and if he made
no allowance for this fact, it might hap
pen to him, as it happened to rude sur
veyors and contractors before now, that
when his ditch was done, the water
could not run in it. At this distance the
positive error in curvature is nearly
sixt-seven feet but there is partial
Offset in the opposite or negative error
of refraction.
