a STAR SHOWER THIS wEEK-,

a STAR SHOWER THIS WEER--Professo
Proctor, the well known English astronomer,
in a paper on Expected MeteOric Display"
predicts display of celestial fire works for
this week. lie says:
The next passage of the earth Athwart the track
Of the Biela comet is the first since that OF No
Tember q, 1872, during which a meteor shower
could be expected TO occur. The comet crossed
the esrths track, or passed very near 20 IT, early
in April last and though the interval is con.Id-
erably longer between then and the end OF No
vember than elapsed between the comets passage
In 1917 and the display of that year yet II is most
probable that many meteoric attendants OF the
comet Will be seen on some nights (or perhat,. on
several nights between November IS and pecem-
Der l, and quite possible that a very fine shower
may be seen. The meteors Will be well worth
looking for in any case, since IL they are carefully
observed and counted hour by hour. astronomers
viii probably obtain some further insight into the
nature Of the processes which lead to the disspa-
tion of u comet and cause It's path to be occupied
over a range OF many millions or miles by scatter
ed metooric attendants. To others than astrono-
mers the meteors VIII be full Of interest," and It is
not at all unlikely that they will appear In such
numbers as to produce exceedingly beautiful
display
The Biela comet was discovered in 1926.
and in 1882, 1889 and 1886 was visible. Its
appearance the latter year will be remem-
bered, as it was divided into two distinct
comets, which travelled along side by side
until they passed out of view In 1852 they
/ returned to view with the distance between
them greatly increased.

A MUSICAL PRoDIeT.-The Atlanta Con-

Yesterday morning Constitution reporter OBJ

musical prodigy on very unique scale BY

partially opening his mouth he gave the exact lmi-
tation OF the musical tones OF the Scottish bs gpi
per. playing many airs with perfect accuracy
The music seems to come from the inside of the
boys head, and many people were attracted to
the spot, thinking that the bagpipes we're giving
forth their rich, mild melody. The boy was very
accommodating, and played many airs gliding
with ease from the gay to the grave. For in
stance, he played Dixie with great spirit and rs-
pidity, and then in the slowest and most mourn full

THE regular session of Congress will
commence on Monday next, and as the
Speaker and other officers of the House,
as well as the officers of the Senate,
were all elected at the extra session,
there need be no delay in both houses
at once proceeding to business. 1t will
be the session Immediately preceding a
Presidential election, and if it accom-
plishes any substantial good for the
country. it will prove an eXceptionto the
general rule which has heretofore pre-
vailed. There never was wiser saying
than that 1.-THE world is governed too
much" There are thirty-eight State
Legislatures and a National Congress
which meet annually, at least such was
the case in nearly all the States until
very recently, and enact a frightful
number of laws on all conceivable sub
jects, literally from year to year piling
PeIion upon Ossa, until acts of Assembly
and acts of Congress become confusion
worse confounded. As regards the
coming session, it may be set down in
advance that the making of Presidential
candidates for the contest next year will
be the order of the day, and will swal-
low up every other consideration. AS
it Will be the first session of new Con-
gress, so it will be what is known as the
'.long session, - extending perhaps into
the middle of next summer, whereas if
it would take up and pass the necessary
appropriation bills in decent shape, il
could easily adjourn by the first OF
April. But this is a big country, and
contains more big men to the square
mile than any other country upon thC
planet, and they must have chance Il
play their fantastic legislative tricks
before the American public. And theI
too, the Government is rich, but abovt
and beyond every thing else, Washing
ton is a moral, godly place-a city set
/ as it were, upon hill, in which it is
pleasant thing for the average Congress
man with a salary of $1,000 a year an
mileage, to make his dwelling-place.

y VERY silly. TumOr comes from
Washington, about the intention of a
leading Southern member of Congress in
PRODUCING and advocating at the ap-
preaching session, a bill creating a
special military office with a salary of
$50, 900 attach d, which is to be con-
ferred on Grant for life. 1t would not
be at all surprising if the friends Of
Blaine and Sherman would inaugurate
a project of this kind, in the vain hope
of fOrestalling Grant from being a can
didate again for President, but that any
Democratic member of Congress from
the South, or any other section of the
country, would aid in the advancement
of such a scheme is utterly pTeposterous
The introduction of such a measure
would meet with storm of indignation
from the people of this country, COM
pared with which the ''slice of the day
of Judgment - about which Beecher
talked so eloquently to Mrs. Moulton
when he was reclining on a sofa in her
parlOr. would be mercy and forgiveness.
ii any member of Congress is ambitious
Of finding how the thing would work, he
has only to make the experiment.

he added He (Grant) fought for his

MICHAEL DAvITT. Joseph b. Killen,

minent auti-rent agitatOrs in Ireland,
were arrested towards the close of last
week for sedition, and placed in prison.
Daily has since been released on bail,
and the other two are probably by this
time also released. These arrests have
caused the most intense excitement
throughout Ireland, and immense mass
meetings have been held in various places
TO protest against them. The Catholic
priests are interposing in favor of peace,
and are doing all i'll their power to allay
the excitement and prevent further
trouble. Archbishop McCabe, of Dublin,
