No one event has ever shown the
growth of American science more dis
tinctly than the interest people have
taken in the great comet. The fact that
its discovery was made by private citi-
zens and with the naked eye, and by
many hundreds in all parts of the land at
about the same time, proves that people
do search and study the skies, and take
an interest in the heavenly bodies Few
expansion Of man into the great
things of life than thoughts upon
the immensely of the universe, and
the advance of civilization is marked
more clearly in this respect than
in almost any other. The present comet
from careful views secured at the War
Her Observatory, Rochester, n. Y, proves
to be a most marvellous one. Its tail
proper, which strange to say curved
originally in an opposite direction to that
most common with comets, became sud-
denly absorbed by a most vigorous off,
shoot, or secondary tail, which stretched
upward nearly sixty degrees, and could
be seen even to Pl Draconis, more than
twenty degrees above the north star.
The activity around the nucleus of the
head, showing great masses of matter
its sudden appearance and its phenom-
email actions, have justly made it a cause
of great wonder and comment. 1t is a
yexed question as to whom the
honor of discovery and the War
ner prize of $500 are due. There are
hundreds of claimants from all
parts of the northern hemisphere, and
ranging in time over aperiod offive days,
butt is almost certain that the first view
of it was obtained by some private citi-
zen, and not by an astronomer and it is
also pretty sure, that an American de-
serves the credit of having seen it before
any European. The name of the first dis
coyerer will be duly published. The
value which this great comet will have,
cannot readily be estimated, as it is the
first large one which has appeared since
the discovery Ofthe spectroscope, and it
is almost certain that the elements can be
determined, so that the exact formation
of comets may be known hereafter.

From Brownwood.

The following letter from a leading firm
at Brentwood is worthy of attention, and
should encourage our people to push
through the Austin & Northwestern rail-
road as rapidly as possible. Fort Worth
subscribed 100000 in one day to have a
road extended to Brown county, and it
behooves our business men to be up and
soon as possible if they desire to control
the trade of the upper country:
BRowNwOOD, BROWN Co. June "a, 81.
Messrs. Bertram, Brueggerhof AZ Moeller,
Austin, Texas:
GentlemeR-Your valued compliment,
the STATESMAN, of the 18th inst, to hand
and Mr.. Brueggerhoff's communication
read with much interest, and we can bear
him out that his report of the trade of
this and other mentioned sections is cor
rect and founded on facts. Wehaye been
doing business here nearly six years, and
until about two years ago we, as well as
all of our merchants, gave lib
eral share of our trade to your then thirty
ing city, and as business men we
have a good feeling for your city,
and would certainly yet bestOw upon
you a liberal show of our trade, but,
as Mr.. Brueggerhoff has correctly stated,
freights are against you, time is against
you, and it is no longer to our financial
interest to purchase in your city, and if
we can not consistently obtain our sup
plies from you, neither can we dispose of
our products through you. We openly
assert that we have the best town and
county in the west, and can bear out our
assertion on the amount of our products
and the volume of the business of this
place. Four years ago, the only bale
of cotton to be seen in Brentwood was
brought here from Comanche to work into
mattresses, and this years growing crop
We reasonably estimate at five thousand
bales, and the wool clip is simply i'm
mense. We alone, rs firm, have bought
this spring seven hundred sacks of wool,
and we have worthy competitors here
who have done as well. Estimate this,
and it will make the wool shipments from
this place this spring two hundred and
fifty thousand pounds. All of which was
wagOned to Eastland and merchandise
brought back from Fort Worth. Dallas
and Galveston. Our town has two good
solid banks, and our ten leading stores do an
annual mercantile business of $4,000 each,
besides various smaller establishments.
Brentwood wants railroad and must
have one, and VIII have one soon, and
whenever the time for action comes our
citizens are ready to TAXA a business
view of the matter and act in a business
way. We extend a hearty welcome to
the Austin a. Northwestern narrow gauge
and we are confident when the managers
of this road have made their survey, and
have thoroughly Investigated the sOlidity
OF our town and county, and have ascer-
tanned the amount of goods disbursed
here and the amount of productions we
ship away, they can but conclude that
Brentwood is the best town, and this
the best producing section they could
possibly reach.
