THE GREAT SOUTHERN COMET.

The event which is creating a consIdera-
BILE sensation in the southern hemisphere
Is the nightly appearance In the south
western heavens, shortly after sunset, of a
large and luminous body, supposed by
those conversant with the aspects of such
celestial visitants to be comet of no ordi-
nary kind. 1t is remarkable that astrono-
mers throughout the British colonies and
in England have not given the least init
nation or prediction as to its coming. The
appearance of the present comet is what
astronomers designate "a BEAM" Its
continuance is uncertain, though it may
remain visible for some time, especially as
it has not yet attained its perihelion and
the nucleus has not been seen, though,
doubtless, it will be at the Cape, France,
England, and other countries. In brill
fancy and grandeur it is vastly inferior to
the comet which appeared in the early
days of the colony. That it is wonderful
and awe-inspiring, we admit, but the alb
sence of superstition from our minds, and
belief in the opinions of scientific men
as to the cause of such phenomena, has
banished all dread as to the baneful results
which are expected to follow its appearing.
The most notable comets of modern times
are those of lS43, lS47, 1853, 1858 and
1861. That of lS43 is still regarded as the
most marvellous of the present age, having
been observed in the day time before being
visible at night-passing very near the sun
exhibiting an enormous length of tail of
a fiery character, and arousing interest in
the public mind as deep as it was unprece-
dented. Whether the comet now visible
to us has anything to do with the heat of
the atmosphere we cannot say, but it is a
fact that for days prior to it's coming the
temperature was higher than usual. Il Frear

A FUNERAL DINNER. -Repasts at funer-
ais are sometimes gotten up ostensibly as
refreshments to weary travellers from a
distance, but at other times, apparently,
with the. purpose of increasing the number
of sympathizing friends. One of this latter
kind, We infer, has recently fallen under
our observation. The post-ceremonial COLA
ton consisted of; roast beef, boiled ham,
baked pork and beans, preserved salmon,
picked oysters, fresh country sausage,
baked potatoes, white and brown bread,
doughnuts and two other kinds of cake,
two kinds of preserves, cheese, apples and
nuts /; coffee and several other things,
which mourner, suffering with severe
gastric arrangement and sick headache
two days afterwards, could not recollect.

OAKLAND Zeal }, April 5, 1880.
STANDARD SOAP CoMPA Y Gents Some
two or three months ago, had boy about two
years old that had suffered for year with
severe eruption on the head and face caused by
teething. The child was in such misery that it
would ften be awakened out of sleep by the severe
itching. He would then scratch his head and face
until the blood from the scabs. We tried every
thing we could find but nothing seemed to give any
permanent relief until we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP
Before we had used one cake the child's head and
face were entirely healed and there has been no
appearance of the disease since.

THE HIGHEST VELOCITY OF WIND.-0b-
servers do not agree as to the highest
recorded velocity Of the wind, and, indeed,
it is difficult to obtain an exact measure
ment. 1t is said that ITO miles an hour
has been recorded as the velocity of the
wind blowing in straight line, while a
cyclone, or wind with rotary motion, OBJ
tains much greater velocity-say about
$50 miles an hour.

THE FIENpIsH oFFIcs-sEEKER.

There are number of applicants here
who seek to fill the place occupied by the late
Judge Hays. One of the aspirants was in
Washington when he received the news of
the vacancy, at late hour on the evening
of Monday. About midnight member of
Congress and his wife were aroused by a
laundering rap at their door. A note was
handed to the half-awake member. He
read: "Judge Hays is dead. Advise me
promptly what to do to secure the place.
The answer was Better not disturb the
President tonight it would be a little
more decent to wait until after the funeral y
Such scrambles for office are so disgusting
that it is strange that gentlemen will so
demean themselves.
There is story told of man who was
promised the first vacancy in the Postoffice
Department. One day while lazily saun-
tering near the river he saw dead man
dragged ashore. He looked at the face
and recognized a clerk whom he had known
in the postofice. He ran all the way to
the Department, rushed into the presence
of the Postmaster-General and demanded
his appointment. :" only promised you
place when there was a vacancy"
ssThere is one" said the excited indi-
vidual. 81 saw the dead body of John
Jones dragged out of the river"
Slowly the Postmaster-General enunci-
ated the following words You are too
late. One hour ago the place was given to
the man who saw John Jones when he fell
into the river. "1 Washington letter to the

Why does everybody trade at Shinn's? Because he has the best house, keeps the largest stock, and sells at the shortest profits. Because he is the most accommodating man in the State. Because he keeps everything the people want. Because he has made his fortune among us and seems determined to spend it for the public good, which he eviden- ces by the interest manifested in all public improvements. Be- cause he is a friend to everybody and is always looking to the in- terest of the people and the cOun- try, and because he always keeps a house full of polite and accom- mOdating salesnien.
