EDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURE,
The Comet Of 1S43.

The comet of 1843 presented some of
the most surprising features recorded
even in a history SO strange as that Of
cometic apparitions. The form and pO-
sition of its orbit were such that it re-
NAMED but two hours and quarter on
the north side of the ecliptic. It was
thus most conspicuously visible in south
ern ATTITUDES; but in various parts of
Italy, as well as in the United States, it
shone with great brilliancy on Feb. %,
in the full blaze of noon, at an apparent
distance of only one degree from the
suns limb andon March II its splendid
tail, estimated to have attained the pro-
digious length of 200, 600, 900 miles, was
viewed with amazement by spectators In
this country, as it rose majestically above
the sunset clouds yelling the western
horizon. It was, however, not SO much
the stateliness of its aspect as the pecul-
iarit1es of its motion which rendered
this comet an object of especial inter-
est to astronomers. Of all known
bodies revolving around the sun, it ap-
preached its surface most closely. Only
the tremendous velocity to which it at
tanned at perihelion, of 366 miles a
second, could have extricated it in safety
from such perilous proximity. The dis
lance Of the center of the comet from
the solar philosophers, at the moment of
nearest approach, was only $1,000 miles
(about one-ffth of the suns radius), SO
that the coma, or nebulous envelope sur
rounding the nucleus, must very nearly
have swept the surface of that ocean Of
incandescent hydrogen known as the
"chromosphere. Indeed, the very
possible event of an encounter with one
of those fame-like 'prominences,"
which have been known to attain height
of 3S0,O0 miles, must have produced
such retardation Of the comets motion
as would, in all probability, have in
sured its ingulfment in the abyss
barely escaped by it In it's desperate
flight. -Fraser's Magazine.

Eugenie's Hand in Two Wars.

That the Empress Eugene was large
ly responsible for the decision taken by
her husband when, in 1870, he ordered
that march to Berlin which terminated
at Sedan, is one of the undisputed facts
of recent history. It is, however, much
less generally known that this unhappy
woman had also no small share in the
declaration of another war. According
to Count Kisselef, who acted as Russian
Ambassador at Paris after the Crimean
war, it was the Empress who decided
the irresolute Napoleon to make war
against Russia. The story. as told by
Count Kisselef, is given on the authority
of the Empress herself, who told him on
the 18th or 18th Of May, 1857, that it
was she who was responsible for the
declaration of war. When the Cars
letter arrived, the curtness of which
VIGOROUSLY embittered Napoleon, the
latter handed it to his wife with the
remark that it was cold. "No," said
she, after reading it, "it is more than
cold, 'elle est grossiere. ," The Emper-
or read the letter again, and said {:
"C'est vria, je me'en occuperai."
From that moment, said the Empress,
war was decided on. Count Kisselef
replied: ''Then it is your Majesty
who has been the cause of the death of
200, 900 men, and of the loss of seven or
eight milliards of francs ?" eyes"
she answered, indirectly, and
I do not repent Of it. Such perturba-
lions are sometimes necessary in the
existence Of peoples. It was necessary
for France to take her rightful place
in Europe. She has done this by means
of the alliance with England, and by
that alliance she will maintain her in
fuence at home and abroad. Pal

An Outbreak no Longer Feared-The Red
skins Have Retired to their Reservation

LARAMIE CITY, April S.-Samuel II. Far
man, Indian trader at Ouray agency, is just in

River Utes have all gone peaceably to their
agency at U1ntah. Jack was absent from his
people at the time, it is claimed, securing aid
for an outbreak in the spring. His people
had promised they would not leave before he
returned, but they were prevailed upon by
Major Bryant to go, in accordance with their
promise of last fall, and there is not an Indian
now in this vicinity.
Farman says this shuts off all chances for
an Indian outbreak in the spring, unless there
is union OF the White River and Southern
Utes, or union of either with the disaffected
Mormons against the whites.
