THE new comet. which has just been
discovered near the sun, is so large and
luminous that it is visible to the naked
eye in daytime. Its position was noted
from the National Observatory at Wash
ington Tuesday of last week, and is de.
scribed as being in right ascension elev.
en- hours, nineteen minutes and thirty
two seconds; declination twelve min
utes north. The celestial visitor exhib-
tied short tail, with a bright head of
considerable extent. In the telescope
the nucleus showed as a confused
mass of bright light, indicating large
comet, with plenty of loose material.
Extending on both sides we're bright
arcs of light, presenting the appearance
of bird with outstretched wings. 1t is
regarded as one of the most eXtraordi-
nary comets of modern times.

sTo the Unrefurning Brave, and
May There be a Million
Of Them.o

The above sentiment is attributed to
Ross J. Alexander, the Democratic NOM
inee for Congress in this District. 1t is
said to have been sentiment uttered by
him during the war. The Democratic
newspapers of the District just now are
denying it. We don't See why they
should deny it. There is hardly one of
them that would have taken the trouble
to deny it during the Vallandigham
campaign. We don't know whether
Ross j. Alexander ever used the exact
words above quoted, or not 1t has been
reported Tor many years that he did
But whether he did, or not, it is certain
that during the war all his sympathies
and all his labors were on the Vallan-
digham side, and that he did all in his
power to discourage and break down
the party that was then supporting the
Union.
In his conversation and in his speech
es Mr. Alexander was extremely bitter
in denouncins every measure Of the Re-
publican party to restore the Union and
crush out the rebellion. If the Demo-
cratic editors of the District are going
to undertake to justify Ross Alexander's
war record they will have sorry time
of it. Their best plan is to cover it up
and say nothing about it. 1t won't bear
an investigation before the people of a
Republican District. There is no doubt
that Ross himself is ashamed of it, and
so are all the Democratic editors, and
they ought ought to be wiser than to be
betrayed into public discussion of it.
The soldiers. as a general rule, will not
vote for Ross,-net this year. And there
are plenty of voters in the District that
were not soldiers. but who remember
"the unreturning brave."-[Cadiz Re-
publican, 21st inst.

A Temperance General.

1t Was recently reported that Sir Gar
net Wolseleyi is total abstainer from
Intoxicating beverages. A man who sat
by the side of him at dinner found that
he left his wine glass untouched, and
that that was his habit.
OF course the temperance people will
make much of that alleged fact. The
greatest, or at least the most successful,
English General of this day is teeto-
taller. His success they will attribute
to his abstemiousness, which is all the
more remarkable ia soldier; or, at any
rate, they will claim that the triumph of
the English arms in Egypt has been
greatly helped by the sobriety of the
General in command.
And they will hrve good reason for
the claim. Undoubtedly sober general
is far more Trustworthy than one who
relies on stimulants to bolster him up
when the occasion is trying.
No man can be trusted to do work
which requires good Judgment if be is
much addicted to drink. Alcohol very
soon affects the balance of the facui-
ties, and therefore the less people who
need to have their heads about them
take of it the better they are off. Drink
ing is the great vice of armies, and yet
nowhere else does a man require that all
his faculties shall be normal more than
when in charge of troops in the field,
especially when he is high in command.
If Sir Garnet Wolseley is teetotaler
he is wise man. He is in better ply
sical condition to stand the different eli
mates to which military service may
call him. and intellectually he keeps
himself far better poised than if he fol-
lowed the drinking customs of the run
of army officers. His mind is clearer,
and he can trust his judgment How
many thousands of lives would have
been saved in our war, for instance, if
the Generals had all been as sober as
WOOlseley is said to be.
We observe that among Englishmen
of education and ability, and who carry
the load of extensive affairs, the tenden-
cy is toward increasing abstemiousness,
and that even total abstainers are grow
ing pretty numerous. 1t Is a tendency
which we commend to the thoughtful
attention of our men in public life, our
professional and business men.-fNew

What the Wolf Did.

We were standing at the window
watching Lion, the house-dog, burying .
bone in the dead leaves near the fence
"Why does he do that?" asked my lit.
tie cousin.
Animal instinct" replied my father
to whom the question was addressed
HE has more dinner than he cares to
eat Just now, and so he puts away some
for the next time. Other animals do
the same thing sometimes. l once knew
an old lady who when child had a sim
gular adventure in connection with this
same instinct" -.alI
OF course there was an immediate de-
mand for the story. Father teased US

son were cutting wood in the forest one
day, and Polly, then little girl of Eve

vain. There were no Indians living
near. but wolves and panthers were
plenty, and only the winter before the
father and son had killed two bears in
MI attack on the cow-house. So they
began to feel seriously alarmed.
Presently the brother, locking anx-
iously about, espied an odd-iooking heap
of leaves On the further slope of the hill,
where no wind could possibly have toss
ed them. He went to have a closer
look att it. Carelessly throwing aside a
portion of the heap, he uncovered, to
his joyful surprise, bit of Polly's red
frock. 20

neatly once more. putting a small log of
wood into the place where the child had
lain. He then crouched down behind a
fallen tree near by to see what would

had scarcely had time to return, almost
out of breath with the haste he had
made, when the soft patter Of paws was

three gray wolves approaching at full
