LOUISVILLE, October l7.-1'hc Courier
Iournm Of Tuesday publishes II letter from
Prof Klein, saying: ~ have for sevcn
weeks past noticed IL singular phenomenon
in the heavens in the shape Of II double
comet or comets, attended with nint
smaller ones, all in q circle, closely re-
sembling one Of Saturn's rings They
all appear to he connected together,
ns they move in:the same orbit and the
largcr Of the double comet will, al
regular intervals, eclipse the smaller
one, mud the little ones ARE on such
occasions lost sight Of in the mists thus
created. have no doubt that this Is the
comet Of lS45-'iO, supposed to hive been
destroyed, that now appears 10
liz in this singular shape, and
attended with numerous satellites, which
by come wonderful process Of nature were
undoubtedly thrown from n nucleus, but
not with sufficient force TO get beyond its
attraction, and are therefore resting on the
original ringlike nucleus, which las I'M
dOUhtcdly been rent asunder by great
comctary eruption, and gathered again IN
It's present Shape. .
This was, believe, the comet Of 1871,
having n period Of Llirty.nvc years. Aside
from this wonderful comet, or rather eleven
comets, there are five others now visible.
