The name cf the gentleman heading this
article needs no introductory remarks from
the writer Everybody knows who ''Cool"
Burgess is, and what he isI everybody who
is anybody has seen ard hUghed at hts gro.
tesque performances. and ebjoyed them in
such manner "a to never forget them.
Goods" laugh is contagious and hilarious,
and, Ike the eu5 OF his unmentieGables, is
unlike anything of the kind or eff the
boards. His oratorical powers are certainly
unequaled, aud, rs he says himself without
egotism, he don't believe that My Lord
Roscoe, with all his boasted powers as an
orator. could deliver my stump speech as /
do" We coincide in the opinion ourselves.
Mr.. Burgess tells heap Of truth under
the guise Of burlesque in his roaring and
amusing stump speech. His bit at the navy
| is pretty good thing; when he ssrsightens
himself up and seIi0usly says thas 1--WE have
as much water as ever;' and then, "but
where, oh where are our shipsY the l,ugh
! that follows is a pretty good indication the
point is well taken. Nor is ID with water
alone that Mr. Burgess deals in his oIatory
that gentleman tells Some Tem rkable truths
| about oil-one Oil in particular, and that is
st. Jacobs Oil, the Great German Remedy
for rheumatism. We doubt if he receives q
more hearty laugh at any time during his
performance-and he receives many such
than when he tells everyone to use g. jacobs
Oil, the Great German Remedy. Mr. Bur-
CESS very earnestly recommends il as the
great panaces, and to show his esteen of the
Oh preducss a bottle from the sspacious
pocket of his ulster to show thas he knows
what he is taking about.
This part of Mr.. Burgess performance
struck the writer as vsry laashable, and he
called on Mr. Burgess u ask him how he
came TO introduce the OIL in his peech. In
reply TO his interrogatoIies MIR. Burgess said:
= l look upon the stage, my dear sir, as
mesns Of educating the people AID human
nature is such that truth told in the guise of
humor viii be remembered ionser than the
plain, unvarnishsd article. BSery word l
say regarding tie wonderful merits Of St,
Jacobs Oh / mean. l am The greatest admirer
Of that wondsfful medicine thsrs Is in the
profession, and there is net an astor in tho
country who viii not speak 10 pFa;ss of the
Great German Remedy. The boesis which
is produced by ma on the stage is Ro prop
bottle, but the genuine article, SIS I never
travel without ST. Jacobs Oil. Il cured
me Of the rheumatism when ! was so bad
with that aggrsvating disease as to have to
give up my business. It cured nae perms-
peptly, too and [ am SO thankful for being
cured that praise it continually. 1t cured
my wife. also. of tho same disease, aud
know score Of performers who have beea
cured by it. In feet no peTfsrmer Of good
sense travels without that medicine. You
know rheumatism is their especial dread
ooner or later it cones 60 them, ewing to
their mode of living and travelling"

THE COMING GRR4I Cenees Sitting
Up to see the comet" is not ualikely to be
one Of the diversions of thu early summer
months. The New York San of March
9th says "If the comet that was discov-
cred by a young astronomer In Albany a
week ago fulfills half of the promises made
for it, we may expect to behold, in May or
June, celestial spectacle sach as has not
been equaled since 1863 or isll. This
comet, although some 2GO, coo Coo miles
from its pelihelion, which is " i'll not reach
for three months, shows briehs tail and
star-like nucleus. The inferenes is fair
that the comet is a very large enc, and that
when it gets into our nefg hksEhood it will
present magnificent appearance. More.
over, Professor Cbandler's fgrres show that
the conet is plunging almost straight at
the sun. which it will probably approach
within 100, 600 miles. All the present in.
dications are that it will pay it's respects to
the ruler Of the lolar system with royal
splendor, presenting perhaps such scene
as was witnessed when the great comet of
1864, which failed to return, as expected,
in 1860, spanned the heavens with its tail.
In the meantime there is no reason TO be
alarmed, but good reason fer everybody to
rejoice that we are likely to witness one OF
the erandest phenomena of tAe skies.
