A Shutters Mistake,

No philosopher has ever yet found
great good in that vocal inlirmity
whence suffering comes. The tongue
tied are saved from hasty speech, and it
may be that Charles Lambs lingual de-
feet helped along his jokes; but ordi-
narily. as in the case of a certain young
man of Minneapolis. suffering is mis-
fortune. This young man had been
thrown into the company of husband
hunting woman, who, though not ex-
actly young. heroically struggled to
keep within the twenties. AS the story
runs, the sufferer was obliged to take
the woman home from a party, and as
they drove along he gallantly enter
tanned her with talk upon current topics
AS they neared the woman's house, the
sufferer remembered that in his coat
pocket was paper bag filed with
mixed caramels, bought for another girl;
and, placing his hand on that part of
the coat, he asked
'Lucy, do-do-do you love mix-mix-
MIX
But Lucy. feeling the young mans
right arm fumbling at her side as to en-

Newton,s Comet.

On the Goth of December 1880, short
" after sunset, Newton comet became
visible above the horizon of Lord u. II
was a magnificent object, having tai!
90. 600, 900 miles long. A month pre-
viously it had been seen 1t Coburg,
Germany, but it was not then very
bright, and only begun to throw out
tail. When seen in England it was
receding from the sun, having passed
its perihelion on the 9Th of December.
Now, the most interesting thing about
this comet was its near approach to the
sun. At its perihelion we know that it
was about one-sixth part of the SUMS
diameter from his surface or, in other
words, was distant from his center
about one-sixtieth part of our distance
from it. The heat which we receive
from a tropical sun at midday is con-
siderable, but the comet must have ex-
perienced $4,000 times that amount. 1t
is difficult to form any conception of
such a temperature. Suffice it to say
that every known material would be
vaporized under it. How the comet be-
haved when thus heated can never be
known, for it was lost in the glare of
the sun at the time. When il did re-
appear, after wheeling round the sun
with speed of 1900, 600 miles an hour,
it had developed an enormous tail, and
we must look upon that as one of the
results of the heating process. But the
step made at this point did not refer to
the physical constitution of comets.
Newton was about as far at sea as his
predecessors here, for he thought that
they were ''solid, compact, fixed, and
durable, like the bodies of the planets"
The real advance was in the problem of
their motion. Borelli had thought that
the parabola might be the form of their
orbits; but Dorfel, German astrono-
mer, after carefully considering all the
observations of the comet of 1880, came
TO the positive conclusion that it did
move in parabolic orbit with the sun
in it's focus. HALEY went further.
Adopting the great theory of gravita-
ton, just then conceived and worked
out-by Newton, he sought, and ultimate
ly found, an ellipse which satisfied the
observations - GnSleys Magazine.

as the formers machinery is thoroughly
worn In the neighborhood of the Maritime
Exchange opinions are decidedly at vari-
ence as to the prospects of sea-racing, but
it was generally conceded that the new
steamer would do won ierful work as soon
as favorable weather is experienced. Mr.
Gustav Schwab,& of thc North German
Lloyds, said to World reporter yester-
day: 1.-THE Werra was net put to her
greatest speed at any time during her trip,
in consequence of her machinery being
new and not sufficiently worn to warrant
full pressure of steam. She has how
ever, taking all things into consideration,
made better passage than has ever been
made between Southampton and New
York, inasmuch as the Elbe, in her best
passages, has had favorable weather and
winds, while the Werra experienced ex-
actly the reverse
