THE COMET.
ITs LENGTH AND DISTANCE PROM THE
EARTH-oTHFR FACTS con-
CERSING IT.

The Chicago Tribune, of June 25,
gives the following particular.
of the comet now adjoining the skies
The length uf the comet and tail
measures almost precisely s! de-
gre.s. with a few signs OF streanei
light extending u little furthur, but
not forming u definite tail beyond
the limit Lamed. Some of the pub
lisbed estimates of length, made
by the parties who first saw the
comet. were much greater than this.
1t appears probable that the tail
was really longer on Wednesda,
morning than Friday, as it is SO de-
scribed by a gentleman who saw
it on both days.
The comet is travelling at the rate
of about 5 degrees northward, p
minutes of time east yard, per day.
The angular diameter of the nucleus
was 81 seconds of arc. and the dis
lance from its centre to the appar-
ent top of the envelope was rs Sec
onds of arc.
Making due allowance for this
the motion of the comet, as SO far
observed, is partly reconcilable with
that of the comet of 1872. It is
travelling in. approximately. the
same plane, but the position of the
point of perihelion passage in the
completed orbit does not appear to
agree with that of the present comet.
The distance of the comet from
the earth Friday morning was
80, DOC, 900 miles; the diameter OF
the nucleus 1000 miles, the shortest
of the comet, measured
through tue nucleus, 10000 miles.
and the length OF the tail $500, 900
miles.
The comet would appear to have
already passed (nearlyl between the
and the sun, and the shorten
ing of the tail above referred to
be supposed to indicate that
it has passed its perihelion some
days ago.

Every day, in some of our ex-
changes. we see accounts of per-
sons who have had the terrible
misfortune of being bitten by mad
dogs. This reminds US that there
r q number of worthless, vicious
looking dogs running about the
streets Of Covinston, that appear &c
need killing = few times, before
they 60 mad and bite somebody.
We suggest that the members OF
tie new Council, at their first meet
ing, pass an ordinance requiring all
owners Of dogs to muzzls the same,
or keep them at home. The Town
Marshal should then &c instructed
to kill all dogs running ut large
without a muzzle. The lives Of all
the dogs in creation would BE no
compensation for the loss of q hu-
man life, and hydrophobia, with all
its attendant horrors, means GER
tain death. For the next two
months, at least. our Marshal
should greet all dogs with: Your
muzzle or your lfe!"

An ingenius farmer, sticking q
few nails into a clothes-line to keep
his neighbours cattle ont of his pas
ture. went about his other business
thinking no more of the matter. A
sharp fellow came along. saw the
rope and began tn think about it.
he evolved the 'barbed wire" fence,
and the very farmer from whom the
fellow got the idea has to pay him
a tribute for an article which he
himself originally designed. And
the income If the monopoly is esti-
mated at 800, 900 per mouth.

Now that warn weather is ap-
preaching, it will soon be time to
lay aside overcoats. comforters,
blankets. heavy quilts, e:c. In or
der to protect them from the raw
ages of moths, a little tobacco in
the folds will prove very effective.
But people should be careful not to
discard their winter clothing Too
soon, as there is great danger 0.
catching cold. Better go about il
gradually. The season has so far
advanced, however, as to render
fires. for heating purposes. entirely
unnecessary.

I should like to die, said Willie, IL my
papa could die too,
But be says he isn't ready. for he's got
40 much TO do;
And my loving sister Nellie says hat I
must surely die,
And that sho and mamma-then she
stopped. because il made me cry.
But she told me, I remember, once.
while sitting ON her knee,
That the angels never weary watching
over her and me;
And that if we're good-and mamma told
me Just the same before
They will let rs into Heaven when they
see us at the door.
There I know I shall be happy, and will
always want to stay;
I shall love to hear tbs singing. I shall
love the endless day;
I shall love to look at Jesus; / shall love
Him more and more,
And I'll gather pretty flowers for the
angel at the door.
There viii be LOT but the holy; I shall
know no more of sin;
And I'll see mamma and Nellie. for I
know he'll let them in;
But I'll have to tell the angel, when !
meet him at the door.
To excuse my dearest papa, for he
couldn't leave the store.
Sister Nellie says that maybe I shall
soon be called away.
If my papa were but ready ! should like
to so to-day:
But if / should go before him to that
world of light and joy.
Then / guess he'd come to Heaven, just
to see his little boy.
In singing the a6ovs. repeat the last line
OF each stanza.

Now that the bathing season hal
arrived, we advise all those who do
not know how to swim, 20 learl,
how, as soon as possible. Our
beautiful "Bogue" affords every
facility for this purpose. Of course,
ut least nine out of every ten gen
tlemen understand the art Of SWIM
ming, but we will venture to say
hat there is not one lady out OF
five hundred who has cult waited
this highly useful accomplishment.
How many OF the ladies' who in
dulge in the pleasant pastime Of
boating on the Bogue Falia, in the
cool of the evening. could save
themselves in M Of accident? Not
one, that we know OF. Therefore
we say, learn to swim, and teach
the children how to swim. MANY
persons devote much more time in
guarding against accidents that are
never likely to occur, than it would
require to enable them to become
expert swimmers. If this art. or
accomplishment, was more uni
.versally known, many valuable lives
would be saved, even in the course
Of a single year. When a trouble
