"But we cSsa not run for the doc

This New York girl is sensible and
has made wise choice. Perhaps
she never viii be sssmartn enough TO

know the technical names of all the
bones in her body, but if her baby

seized with Group, she will know
what is the best thing to do for him
while waiting for the doctor to come.
And when she is a wife and mother,
she will meet calmly and intelligent
~ the accidents-aud illnesses which
are inevitable in every family.

The FIRST important announcement made
by Professor Swift since the completion
of the new Rochester Observatory was
that of the discovery Of large comet On
October 10th. The fact was reported in
our Associated Press dispatches at the
time; but some important and interesting
details, which have been learned by sub
sequent observations, are now at hand.
The new comet is located in the copstolla-
ton of Pegasus, which may be easily idppti
fed by four first magnitude stars forming
an almost perfect square, FROM which fact
it is commonly known as the Great Square
of Pegasus When first observed the
comet was apparently stationary but it
has since been ascertained that il is NOV
ing slowly in u northwesterly direction
aud is therefore approaching the sun A
strong condensation is observable to one
side of its centre and it also has star
is like nucleus which interpreted by
Professor Swift as IN indication that 1t is
throwing off an extended tail. This fact ,
together with its extraordinary size, and
the additional fact that it is coming
almost directly towards the earth, warrants
the belief that it will soon ba a very
brilliant naked eye object and one of the
most remarkable comets that have visited
US during the present century. Professor
Swift thinks that further developments
may prove this to be the great comet of
1872, the return of which is being con-
stantly expected by astronomers. II this
surmise should be correct there will be
afforded for the first time an opportunity
spectrosoope and ascertain with certainty
of what they are conf osed.

Every Intelligent man who saw the
alleged interview with General Hancock
by reporter Of the Paterson IN. j.
Guardian knew it was the attempt OF an
ignorant and incompetent man to repre-
sent views expressed in free and ealy
conversation, which We believe the reporter
himself said occurred in hack
This was so manifest that
STATE Journal did not think
tine interview worth presenting and only
made a casual allusion to it. Every editor
of newspaper who read it doubtless
knew that il was not fair presentation of
the views on the tariff OF "a man able to
have written the now famous Csrondolet
letter Of Gen. Hancock to Gen Sherman.
Yet the Republican papers have been
treating this trash as though it had actually
been written by Hancock, and fairly
screaming with delight over its display Of
ignorance.
Once again they have done too much of
this, ard have led one of his friends to
draw from him another letter which is
marked by the characteristics of sound
sense and clear opinion quietly expressed,
which have been shown in all Hancock s
letters and which the Republican editors
will yet be sorry they ever called forth.

Editor EUery E0ening:' If there is
anything that would commend Senator
Bayard to the American people it was in
his giving to kind Providence the credit
of the present prosperity of this great
country, The Republican orators and
press are boldly asserting that they, and
they alone, must have the credit for the
prosperity of this land. tell you fellow
citizens, when any party or sect claims to
own this country, it is high time that the
American people ask them to step down
and out. hope the good thinking pee pie
OF Delaware will not fail to send the great
Senator back to assist in making laws for
the benefit of this country. Yours, re-
