The Comet.

A Worcester gentleman who has noticed the
peculiar pencil of auroral light in the northern
sky about the time the comets tail appears
above the horizon, maintains that the direc-
ton of the tail. as seen through the earth's
atmosphere, is apparent rather than real, and
that the long tail really extends to the earth's
envelope, and comes sufficiently in contact
with it to cause an electrical disturbance sufi-
Gent to produce the observed aurora. In 9TH
er words, that the tail is actually being
whisked in the earth's atmosphere.

Miss Laura Clay and Rev. Lorenzo Haynes
spoke briefly on some of The points brought out
in Mrs. Fosters paper. Miss Clay spoke Of the
advances made in law being in favor of woman
and OF the time coming when woman should
have an equal chance with men to enter the
legal profession. She thought gratitude was
due to those women who had sdone what they
could to prepare the way. She urged that it
was every woman's duty to know at least the
law of her own state if not for her own sake,
yet for the sake of those upon whom the laws
bore hardly.
Mrs. Haynes thought that from the nature of
the case men were incapable of fair, broad legis
lation for women She though men had tried to
be fair. She also said the impetus to improve
legislation fer women had come from the agi-
tation of the subject by women during the las I
twenty-five years.
The President then said that as the paper of
DIR. French had not been received, which was
the second misfortune of the sort that the Con-
gress had net with, and which was probably
to be charged 20 the O. S. mail, the Congress
would resume the discussion of the afternoon
upon the Chinese problem. Mrs. Peckham of
Rhode Island, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and
Miss Eastman spoke the question of The right
of the Chinese to come to this country was adj
vocated. The order for the last day of the
