REPRODUCTIVE CoMEr.-The pres.
ent comet in the Eastern sky, which
can be distinctly seen by everyone
at early morning, is certainly the
most remarkable one of all the mod
ern comets. Prof. Lewis Swift, di
rector of the Warner Observatory,
Rochester, N. Y, stotes that the
comet grazed the sun so closely as
to cause great disturbance, so much
so that it has divided into no less
than eight separate parts, all Of
which can be distinctly seen by 9
good telescope. There is only one
other instance on record where q
comet has divided, that one being
Biella's comet of 1916, which separa
ted into two parts. Applications
have been made on Mr.. H. H. War.
ner by parties who have noted these
cometary of shoots, claiming the
5000, prize for each one Of them.
Whether the great comet will con.
tinue to produce a brood of smaller
comets remains to be seen.

The New Orleans States on the 81
Louis Tragedy.

If St, Louis bad not discarded the
code of honor as the proper manner
of settling personal controversies
she would have been spared horr'-
bile tragedy, and one of her valuable
citizens would not now be sleeping
in an un,imely grave.
When Col. Slayback went to the
office of the Post-Dispatch to chas-
tise its editor for q personal article,
declaring that he was going there,
not for an apology, but to slap Col.
Cockerell's face, he's must have ex
pected either to be killed or to mur
der his antagonist unless he assum-
ed that that antagonist was most
miserable and servile coward. The
facts 10 this case do not justify the
indignation that has been express
ed, and the violent demonstrations
made against the Post Dispatch and
its editor by the St. Louis people,
That journal may have been scurril
GUS and abusive, but that is q very
common thing in political journal
ism, and if every man who is dis
pleased with a newspapers Ian,
guage toward him goes to the edito'
rial office TO thrash or to butcher the
editor, the number Of funerals will
soon be very largely increased and
the undertakers will rapidly build uE
their fortunes.
We say nothing in justification o.
the scurrilous temper of the st
Louis paper nor of its attack upor
Mr.. Slayback; that article We have
not even read. But If he felt az
grieved he should have sent his
friends to Col. Cockerell, and thu
chances are an hundred to one thai
the controversy would have been ar
ranged without bloodshed. St. Louis
however, ridicules the code, and ont
of her eminent citizens, participating
in the common contempt for that in
, stitutioD, proceeded to gentleman
Office to beat him or kill him, ant
met with just the fate he might hav'
: expected. Mr.. Slayback undertook
angry and heated, to redress what b.
conceived to he his own injury. Th'
| course he adopted made peaceabl
; settlement impossible. There wa
but one outcome of the course b.
took and that vas violence an,
blood. Why, then, should the PEG
pie of St. Louis manifest so muc|
indignation, threaten the Post Dis
patch with violence and join in
combination to suppress and rui
it? Col. Cockerell was defendin
his own life when be killed Col
Slayback. None but a bastard woul,
have submitted to the indignity an
chastisement, it was the professe
purpose Of Col. Slayback to inflic
upon Col. Cockercll. St. Louis ha
discarded the duello, then let he
keep her temper when one man de
tends his life and his person b

We call attention to the advertisement in
another column of Mr.. E. B. Whitman. The
tendency. of the manufacturing business for
years has been towards making but one line
ofgootlsin factory, as workmen become We
ny skillful and can turn out better goods and
more OF them when kept at work upon one
thing year in and year out. The success of
this policy may be surmsed from the immense
factories and enormousI sales of the various
concerns engaged in the manufacture of reap
ers and mowers, grain drills, &c., sc. Mr..
Whitman represents three separate factories
one manufacturing .plowsl and pillow castings
another the Champion Grain Drills, and an
other, making the celebrated British Mixture.
He'is not in the general agricultural business
but for plows, grain drills, and fertilizers
claims to be able to compete with any other
manufacturer in the land

THE VIRalNIAs for July has been received,
and valuable number it lie. Indeed there is
not an issue of this journal that is not worth
hundreds OF dollars to the two States The
character of information it contains can be
obtained from no other source. The most
patient, careful, painstaking man that we
know of is its editor. Nothing seems to
daunt him when the end in view is the spread
of information for the benefit of the two Vir-
ginias. Statistics, which to others represent
little save tiresome array of figures, are by
him culled of their kernels, and presented in
such form that their value is understood and
appreciated by all who feel an interest in ma.
terial progress. And there is nothing which
can contribute to that progress that does not
find its most earnest and intelligent advocate
in the Vaaysnias. The Commonwealth could
well afford to bear the entire expense of its
publication, for it is worth all the bureaus
that have been organized since the year 1, and
has done more to build up the two States
within the past three years, than all, of the
other agencies combined. The subscription
price is only 50 per year, and there lie not q
number that is not worth the amount twice
over. 1t should be the duty of every citizen
who has any interest in the growth and pros
perity of his State, 10 aid in sending the
Vsrgimaas broadcast throughout the country.

PRosPEcTING.--We mentioned several weeks
ago that the gentleman named in the notice
below Ind been examining the deposits on the
Porcelain Works tract in this county with Il
view to probable Investment. In speaking OF
! the same party, the Vayinaas says:
Col. Hugh Sterling, postmaster al Wheel
ing, w. Va, II gentleman who has been active
in promoting manufacturing and mining de-
yelopmenl in and near that city, and Messrs
Thomas Walton and John +. sweeney, the
sales agents of the nOteu East Liverpool
Ohio, pottery works, and of Pttsburg glass
| works have recently visited and examined the
deposits OF fine clay and kmlin at Porcelain
| near Sher,lndo station OF Shenandoah Valley
| Il. r., and those OF glass sand near Stuart
| Draft station of same road lplaces but a few
miles APART, as reference to map in our last
| issue will show III this, Augusta county, hav-
ing in view the establishment OF fire brick,
terra Gotta, and glass works, and allied indus
| tries near these extensive deposits, If the
quality of the raw materials which they sam
Piled prove satisfactory. We understand that
| these are men of influence, skill and means
| and we earnestly hope they may be induced
| to locate in our midst these great industries
that have built up such prosperous town at
| East Liverpool.
We know that the raw materials of every
kind needed for the manufacture vi glass, fire
brick, terra Gotta, etc, all OF excellent quality
abound at or near the localities named, and
the best of fuels can be delivered there at a
iar price and more, we are satisfied that the
Shenandoah Valley r. r management will
grant any reasonable concessions to parties
proposing to establish such important indus
tries upon its line. Labor, of the non-striking
kind, is abundant, living is cheap, the all-the-
year round climate as good rs any in the
Union, the at-hand railway leads to all markets
and the local demand for such articles, already
large, is constantly increasing in consequence
of the rapid development of our mining and
manufacturing industries. What more ii
wanted TO warrant beginning?
