Tho Now Eshereal visitor.

The new comet is attracting considerable
attention, and from its peculiar position has
in more than one place been counted rs two.
1t appears below the North star in thenorth-
western sky in the fore part of the night,
and then in the morning hours appears in
the northeast, so that it has been counted
twice by those who lose sight of the fact
that its relative position to the North star
remains unchanged and its new position to
the earth Is the same as that of the other
stars in that portion of the heavens.
BY the way, 1t may be matter of inter-

and if the two come into collision fearful
wreck will enspo. This comets tail is eight
million miles long and its head Is said to be
very large body. AS it gets nearer the
sun the brillsancy of its head will decrease,
80 that any one can keep posted as TO the
cl ances of q collision by closely watching
the amount of light emitted from it. When
the head gets very near to the sun 1t will
probably not be visible st all.
The placc of the comet ls few degrees
southeast of the bright star Capella, which
Is star of the first magnitude in constella-
ton AuIga. Capella rises far in the north
east ut about half-past SoiOux j., the
morning. No one can mir 49, the star as
| there is no other bright staf near it. Its
| toll reaches up in the direction Of the North
Polar star. Il may be seen at any honr Of
the night.
The astronomers are not agreed whether
| the comet is one that has visited our sys-
| tenn before or new conner on this shoal of
the universe, but they all say that 1t gives
| promise of becoming remarkably large and
| brilliant. Several Observers lay claim to

The Foreign Mission Board of the South
ern Baptist Convention has recalled the
appointment of Revs. John Stout, Of So
ciety Hill, and 7. p. Bell, Of Anderson. to
be missionaries to China, in consequence of
difference of views upon the subject of the
inspiration of the Scriptures the majority
OF the Board holding to the doctrine OF q
plenary or verbal inspiration of the Bible,
while the gentlemen named adopt the view
that the Scriptures were written by in
spired men in their own language and STYLE
OF expression. While we are gratified that
these. gentlemen arc not to leave South
Carolina, we cannot but censure the course
OF the Board, for if they intended to make
any question Upon this subject, 1t should
have been done before the appointments
were made. Their action is piece of in
tolerance and arrogance not often met with.
1t amounts to saying that unless man
agrees with them in the detail of doctrine,
he shall not preach the gospel to the
heathen, and if the Board are not yigilant
their action will result in sending no mis-
ssionaries to China Mt all. One thing NAV
be considered certain. and that is that the
action Of the Board has sown the seeds of
discussion, and perhaps dissension, in the
baptist Church which will not be settled
IN Gay or year, perhaps not in life
time. BY revoking these appointments
they have done iDcaiculable mischief

THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS.

Familiar as the migration of birds is
TO us, there is perhaps no question in
zoology more obscure. The long flights
they take, and the unerring certainty
with which they wing their way between
the most distant places, arriving and de-
parting at the same period year after
year, are points in the history of birds
of passage as mysterious as they are
interesting. We know that most mi
grants fly after sundown, though many
of them select a moonlight night to cross
the Mediterranean. But that their met
geological instinct is not unerring is
proved by the fact that thousands are e.
very year drowned in their flight over
the Atlantic and other oceans. North
ern Africa and Western Asia are select
ed as winter quarters by most of them,
and they may be often noticed on their
way thither to hang over towns at night.
puzzled, in spite of their experience, by
the shifting light of the streets and
houses The swallow or the nightingale
may sometimes be delayed by unexpect-
ed circumstances. Yet it is rarely that
they arrive or depart many days sooner
or later one year with another. Prof.
Newton considered that were they sea.
fowl satellites, revolving around the earth,
their arrival could hardly be more surely
calculated by an astronomer. Foul
weather or fair, heat or cold, the puffins
repair to some of their stations
punctually on given day, as if then
movements were regulated by clockwork
The swiftness of flight which character
ICES most birds enables them to cover {
vast space in brief time. The common
black swift can fly 276 miles an hour
a speed which, if it could be maintained
for less than half day, would carry the
bird from its winter to its summer quar-
ters. The large purple swift of America
is capable of even greater speed on th,
wing. The chimney swallow is slower
ninety miles per hour being the limit O
its power; but the passenger pigeon o
the United States can accomplish jour
ney of 1000 miles between sunrise ant
sunset.
