THE COMET.

In column letter to the New York Herald
Richard A. Proctor re.states his views in ref.
erence to the great comets probable tate.
He believes that the motion OF the comet is
beyond mathematical calculation. He be.
lieves that the comet will be back again in
about year, and possibly before Christmas.
At each return he calculates that its period
will be reduced in a very rapid ratio until Il.
nally 1t will revolve in day and In still
briefer space, until 1t falls into the sun. II
il cheering to learn that Mr.. Proctor believes
that the final plunge will cause no great dis.
turbance, either on the earth or sun. He 1,
rather rejoiced that astronomers will be able
to witness such 3 startling event. Indeed,
these times are rather suspicious for students
of the heavens. The comet and the transit
of Venus end the season we'll.

RYAN, WILLIAMS AND JOHNSON.

Congressman Ryan addressed our people
Saturday afternoon. His speech was a dig
nified effort of unusual breadth and sound
ness. 1t was, more properly speaking, the
speech of a statesman well versed in all mat
tiers touching the welfare OF the Nation and
the people, such a speech as would have been
listened to with interest upon the floor Of the
national House OF Representatives. In raw
cling the transportation and problem he did
not descend to the methods of the demagogue
and vote catcher, out showed to the stisfac-
ton of every reflective man that these were
two sides TO the question, in both of which
the people are equally interested and that if
in settling it the greatest care and wisdom
were not used, disastrous results could only
follow. His reasons were not of the partisan
but of the statesman. His array Of the fail
ures of the Democratic party for the past
twenty-five years was unique and irresista-
bly, overwhelming in its force. The first two
times that Mr.. Ryan was nominated for Con-
gress was at Wichita and our people are
proud Of the fact and proud of Ryan.
In the evening A. l.. Williams, ex-attorney

lawyers of our higher courts. addressed the
people. For six years he had not appeared
on the political rostrum, but from the great
principles at stake he felt impelled to raise
his voice in behalf of the right. He treated
the prohibition question from legal stand
point, and in a wonderfully lucid manner
demonstrated not only the power and right
of the people to enact such laws, but the
wisdom Of their enforcement We thought
it the most logical and comprehensive speech
we had ever heard on that question. Moth
ing like it had been attempted here. 1t was
simply mastery and conclusive.
But Capt. j. b. johnson, who wound up
the day. or night rather, carried away all
hearts. His was simply passionate appeal
to mems better natures and the responsive
applause rose unrestrained from all parts of
the hall. Many did not know that he was the
man who was a candidate before the conyen-
ton against st. John, but all acknowledged
that he was st. Johns champion in the truest
sense, and before he got away from the door
dozen old soldiers were hugging him for

srDewroK oouNrY's WATERLOO.

Heretofore there has never been any trouble
in securing very complete returns from this
county within q few hours after the closing
of the polls, but the waterloo OF our party
seems TO have demoralized every thing. At
this hour, 4 o'clock Wednesday, five town
ships are yet TO hear from. The returns We
have are very incomplete and unsatisfactory.
But few precincts sentin any thing outside
of the head of the State ticket and the coun-
ty ticket. The candidates for Congress and
State officers have been entirely ignored.
The returns, so far, show st. John to have
been beaten by upwards Of 500 In the county,
with Sam Wood running close to the four
congressman at large. The entire Republic

attorney. Mr.. Dale is elected by 40 MAORI

s. A. Edison against the estate Of the late
President Garfield which had been returned

therefore. nave to be considered as coming

physicians under an act Of Congress. The

of physicians. The Edison claim IL not &C.
companied by release upon the estate, hence
it is quite likely to be disallowcd unless re-

Some Information About the
Queen Bee.

There is an impression prevailing
among the uninitiated that tie queen
of hive leads off the swarm, but this
is by no means the case with issues, for,
as rule, the queen does not come forth
from the hive until the greater part Of
the bees are on the wing. Another er-
roneous idea in existence is that the
queen bee is the first to alight upon
branch or bush, and that the bees
congregate about her, but the reverse
of this is the fact. When swarm be-
gins to issue, ifthe bee-keeper will place
himself on the shady side of the hive
aud watch the swarm of bees which
pour forth like an army through a gate
way, he may see the queen come out,
and ifinclined to prove our assertions,
he may capture and cage her, and put
her in his pocket while watches the pro.
ceedings of the bees. When the thrOng
is cireling in the air he may imagine
that the bees are circling for her, ant
