How Many Comets in Ones

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: Are there two comets? On
the 26th Of June [ saw first about Is
degrees above the horizon very
bright comet, visible in the evening
soon as daylight ceased. It is still
visible, though diminished in bright
ness and apparent size, and having
rapidly risen to within say Is degrees
the altitude Of the North Star, and
alto p. m. appears about Is degrees
west Of the North Star, the tail point
ing eastward and upward at an angle
with the horizon Of about 45 degrees.
Then at a. m. | saw a comet at about
the same altitude, and say Is degrees
east Of the North Star, the tail point
ing upward and westward, nearly at
right angles with thesline Of the tail
Of the evening comet. Had no other
employment but star-gazing, I would
watch nights and try to solve the
problem; but [ work days and must
sleep nights. Now I've seen nothing
from the astronomers about two COM
cts. If there be but one, how does he
get his long tail whisked round so that
in six hours it's direction has changed
80 degrees? If there are two comets
exhibiting, why hasn't somebody
mentioned it? G.. C.B.
North Georgia, July 8, 1881.
There is only one comet. Let our
correspondent cut out circular piece
of card board with the pole star at the
centre and the comet near the edge
with it's tail pointing little to one
side of the star. Now if he will stick
a pin through the pole star and revolve
the card board circle he will have
better idea Of the various positions
the comet assumes in twenty-four
hours than any written explanation
could give him.-Ed.

A SHOWER OF LIZARDS
From the San jose (Cat.) Herald.

During the late storms, a strange thipg
happened out in the Willows. The trees
on the lands of Norris Piummer and Mr..
Arthur we're covered with lizards. and
some was also found lodging in the branch
es and stuck on the ends of the lately cut
limbs of the trees. The lizards varied
from two to four inches 10 length.
AS to how they came there no one can
positively tell. but it is the opinion of those
who saw them that they must have rained
down. This looks 8 little like a caDard,
but Mr.. Plummer and FL. L. Dart are
ready to vouch for the truth of the state
ment. We have heard of angle-worms
and toads falling during a thunder storm.
but this is the first instance Of shower OF
IiZzards.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
MENoMoNIE, Nov. 22-Durand has relapsed
into its usual condition of quiet and no one
would suspect the existence of the recent vio-
lence exceptfrom an occasional remark. There
seems to be about one sentiment there, that is
that the outlaw got his deserts. The feeling
at Menomonie was very bitter against the de-
ceased and aggravated considerably by the ten
dency of some few to play the sentimental and
deplore his unhappy condition. In fact one or
two of the ladies thought it was jnst too bad
for such nice young fellow to come to grief
by falling into the clutches of the law. The
authorities would no doubt have prevented
lynching at this place however. Yet the gen.
eral opinion is that Williams deserved what he
got.
The body was cut down by the authorities
at Durand after the mob had dispersed and a
coroner's jury was called to determine the
cause of death. The testimony of eye witnesses
was very meagre, but from the evidence the
jury were able to obtain, they returned yer.
diet that the deceased came to his death by
breaking his neck. The jury having dis
charged their duty were themselves dis.
charged and the remorseIess outlaw was re
turned to clay.
