Hardly has the excitement and ndig-
nation over the murder Of his mother BY
Merrill, died out when the public is again
shocked BY the terrible news Of another
atrocious murder. this time in Piscataquis
County. The particulars so far received
are that Alvin Watson, single man. living
alone three miles from Parkman Corner,
was found murdered in his door yard, with
ffty-two wounds in his body. Samuel
Chadbourn. deaf mute, has confessed that
be committed the crime. Suspicion also
points to others as being accessories. And
still the State continues to iufici only such
punishment as affords a continual hope Of
escape or pardon to the worst class Of
criminals.

The comet Is now growing slowly fainter.
On the sd inst, or on Thursday last. it
was nearly five times as bright as when first
discovered. The tail lies directly away from
the sun, and is thus greatly .oreshortened,
and must really be several times larger than
il appears.
The comet is now moving away from the
earth these are the conclusions current at
the Cambridge observatory at the rate Of
3OOO0O miles a day. 1t will probably be
visible for several months. and will without
doubt he conspicuous during the time TO
the naked eye. Ii reached It's maximum Of
brightness on THURSDAY night last Its
nucleus is probably 1000 miles in diameter,
and the inner head at the envelope 1900
while the coma is vastly more than that.
The tai IS at least 4, 900 600 miles in length
These computations were made by Mr. 5. G.
Chandler. of the staff Of the Cambridge OBJ
servatory, who has had great experience in
such matters, and whose name will be found
frequently among the records Of authorities
and works of reference.
Special obserya tions that are to be made
at the Cambridge observatory, which. so far
as is known, will not be made elsewhere.
are as to the brightness Of different parts Of
the tail Of the comet The light of comets
is similar in composition to burning carbon.
This light can only be determined by the
use of the spectroscope but the clouds
have so far precluded the use Of the latter
at Cambrldse, since the present comet ap-
peared.
DIR. Peters Of Litchfeid Observatory
Hamilton college, says that the dark line
through the centre of the comet is the shad-
on of the nucleus. lie thinks this is the
comet seen ty Lord Crawford about thir-
teen degrees from the sun in Europe. June
9, and on account Of the position Of the
node il cannot be the comet Of 1872 and
still less that of 1907.
In all ages comets have been regarded
with a certain superstitiouS awe by the IN
learned and as, in some way, portending
evil to the Earth That they are liable to
create solar disturbances when visiting our
solar sys,em is pretty clearly established,
some Of our scientific authorities hold to the
belief that if comet should plunge into the
sun, as they sometimes seem likely TO do,
the beat Of the SUI would be so greatly in
creased as 70 destroy the Earth. Fortunate
Is for US however. I this theory is true,
there appears to be little danger from this
source, since some occult force appears TO
repel the comet from the sun after it has
appeared comparatively near to that body,
throwing the wanderer out into limitless
space egsin. Whether the present comet
is the one that has visited US before, or is
now visiting Us Tor the Arst time, will doubt
less be fully determined BY the csiel.. ob-
seryations that are being made at the ob-
ssryatDries ofthis and other countries

70 purchase. Wonder If bic great speculation
vii come 10 this complexion "a l1sk "A eeAHa
AdeOc0fk
Our c0temporary is little out in Its
reckoning. In the first place, if Disston
held all the Vose and other first mortgage
bonds he could not utilize q dollar of
them in payment of his 1000, 900 acre
purchase, for the simple reason that the
bonds are not lien on the public lands
and are consequently not receivable in
payment for them. It is the interest only
on these bonds for which the lands are
responsible; so that if Disston possessed
every bond now outstanding be could
only max use of the unpaid interest-coss-
pOSas in paying for his purchase. In the
next place, the holders of the bonds could
not "keep their liens intact over his
(Disston's) 100000 acres of land" if
they wanted to, for the obvious reason
that the coupons. the payment of which
only the Fund guaranteed, being past due,
the holders thereof have no option except
to surrender them and receive their money
whenever the Fund is In condition to ten
der it. A public notice that the Fund is
prepared to pay the coupons would stop
any further accumulation of interest, as
the editor of the AdUocate, being a law
yer, should know. Furthermore, very
considerable per cent. of the coupons has
already been paid out of the avails from
the Disst0n purchase, and we hope it will
not be long before it can be announced
that the public lands are no longer en-
numbered by vexatious and constantly
increasing debt which prevented their
use for public improvements.
On the whole, it is reasonable to con-
clude that on further consideration our
esteemed contemporary will see no ground
for extending sympathy to Disston, since
the bondholders are powerless to inter-
fere- 1t il Disston's money that is Olsen
numbering the Fund, and if he can stand
it we suppose they can. When the " last
dime " on the purchase is paid, however,
he will be apt to get his deeds and will
be happy in the reflection that he is " the
largest la d-owuer in Florida " if not in
the world.

Some weeks since the editor of the
Ocala Banner visited Messrs. Wrightman
q Christoper of Jacksonville and solicited
from them an advertisement for his paper.
With good deal Of cheap buncombe
they loftily informed him that they g did
not advertise, = that their business "was
already larger than they could attend to"
ct ceter0, Gd nossseam. Another merchant,
Mr.. J. E. Hart, the seeds-man, having
sent the Bdnssw an advertisement, the
editor took occasion to draw very strik-
ing parallel between the methods of
these two representative Jacksonville es-
adjustments. This made Messrs. w. &
G. exceeding mad, and they came out 10
card in the Union, whacking right and
left at the Banner and MIR. Hart, in q
would-be sarcastic style, intended to be
vastly cutting and severe They woke
up the wrong passenger, however, and
Mr.. Hart responded in SO spirited style,
that they attempted . sort of explanation
which did not explain, in subsequently
published letter. Mr.. Hart replied with
indications of blood in his eye and the
controversy ended. Mr.. Harris in the
last issue of the Banner, in reviewing the
facts, makes the following sensible re-
marks, in which he will doubtless have
the support of the entire State press:
We are full TO the brim with Stale pride and
want TO see Jacksonville expand into a great
city. But il cannot do 50 if its merchants hold
their hands in conientment and voluntarily in
form visiting members Of the press that Il is
impossible for them TO keep up with their orders"
etc Jacksonville is entitled to the trade of
Florida that now passes It and goes ON to ST.
vannah-her thrifty and more enierprising rival
Her merchants could secure part Of this trade
ct least If they would make the proper efforts
They should open their eyes to the logic of
events. Savannall.and Charleston are sending
out statesmen in all directions. There are on an
average six or eight drummers IN Ocala from ga

ments of trade. But jacksonville drummer is

The HntsrnaI nsvenue.

Commissioner Raum Of the Internal
Revenue Department has submitted his an
nual report to the Secretary Of the Treas
ury for the fiscal year ending June SO,
1881. The report shows that the receipts
Of Internal Revenue in round numbers
for the fiscal year 1870 were STA, SOC, goo,
for 1880 1900, 900, and for 1881 $685.
100000: The receipts for the first four
months for the present fiscal year have
been e51 900, 900, and If this increase
should be maintained during the remain
ing eight months of the fiscal year the
receipts for 1882 viii be 'Iiiaffiy 1857 ,ooo, 900
Respecting . reduction Of the Internal
Revenue taxes Mr.. Raum says: "The
large increase in the receipts of the Coy
eminent and the great reduction in the
principal and interest of the public debt
are causing discussion as to the propriety
of reducing the income of the Govern
ment by lowering some Of the taxes and
dropping others altogether"
On the subject of the enforcement Of
the laws, the commissioner reports: In
collection districts where frauds in the
manufacture and sale of spirits and to-
bacco have been rife, where resistance to
authority has prevailed, there has been >
manifest improvementin public sentiment.
He says that while there have been $50
Illicit distiIleries seized and 1910 illicit
distillers arrested during the past sixteen
months, illicit distilling has, by the active
operations of the past FIVE years, been re-
duced to minimum, and the Illicit man
ufacture of tobacco has for the most part
been abandoned.
The total amount of collections from
tobacco for the year was $40, 1854 1881,
which is about g., OOO,OOO more than the
receipts from the same sources last year.
