The Great Comet.

The Rochester Denaocrot says: "The great comet could be seen with the naked eye the other night under the dog star. It appeared somewhat ghostly, but its proportions were still immense. The tail would probababy sweep over the dog star. The nucleus was about six or seven degrees south of Beta Canis Majoris, and was near third or fourth magnitude star. The nucleus appeared much elongated, and resembled an oval nebula in the telescope. By flashes the tail appeared quite bright to the naked eye, but it could not be readily traced more than two degrees from the head with the telescope. The field of vision was thickly strewn with stars, which seemed to blot out the faint light of the tail. The nucleus and the surrounding haze ap- peared fairly bright. The northward motion of the comet had become quite perceptible, and might keep in view until summer. It is not yet known where the comet is going. Most of the computers seemed to agree that it would not soon return"

The TOboggan.

A Montreal correspondent says The toboggan is vehicle that bears the same relation to the most approved sleigh that the tea-kettle sustains to the steam engine, or Adam to the human race. It is an Indian means of travelling on the top of the snow. With his snow shoes and toboggan, the aboriginal ot the hyperborean region found little trou- ble in penetrating the forests and skim ming along on the top of unfathomable snows. The Canadians have adopted both for sporting purposes. To slide down hill over the unbeaten snow, the toboggan is a success, but on 8 we'll beaten track of moderate declivity 1t would figure like scow ill contest with shell boat placed alongside of the American "bob," such as the boys of New England use. The toboggan is purely North American, aboriginal, and the proper thing to be employed by a people who strive to "advance back. ward rather than go ahead.

AS a Watchman.

President Arthur performed duty as watchman at the Treasury Department in Washington for short time on Tues day afternoon. He called at the west door about two o'clock. The watchman did not recognize him and was about to inform him that " the department was closed to visitors when the President asked the messenger to see if Sec retary Folger was in his office. Still in ignorance of the identity of his visitor, but believing him to be some high off cial, the messenger volunteered to go to the Secretary's office if the stranger would stand watch for him at the door and see that no one got in while he was gone up stairs. The President compiled and took the watchman's station. He did not keep it long, as the watchman soon returned with the information that the Secretary had gone out on visit.

The Secret of Big Potato Yields.

A. M. Williams, Syracuse, N. Y.,
 writes II see 1t stated in an agricul-
 tural journal that farmer in Pennsylva-
 mia has raised over 400 bushels of potatoes
 to the acre by using $120 worth of ma
 nure. A still larger yield has been pro-
 duced here this season. People in differ
 ent parts of the country who read this account are writing to me for more def nite information as to the method of raising this crop. The whole secret of the operation is included in one word manure. Still, this question admits of some explanation. In the case of my neighbor no fertilizer was used except barnyard manure, and no other is neces- sary for this or any other crop where enough can be obtained. It should be remembered that no amount of this will put land in condition for maximum crop in one year. My neighbors had manrlred their fields heavily every year for five years. If there is such thing as injuring land with manure, cannot understand why their land was not ruined. Our Onondaga Valley gardens are all treated the same way. While our greatest crops are grown on muck land, our gardeners do not believe in the con- mon idea that muck is rich. I notice that farmers are making great mistake in drawing muck into the barnyard and stables direct from the bed to act as an absorbent. Nothing can be more worth less as an absorbent than this muck in this condition. It is saturated with water and cannot absorb much more. It might do good service if dried, but this Is difficult matter. There is quite difference of opinion as to the best dis tance to plant potatoes. There need be no question on this subject as the true theory can be easily demonstrated in single season. To plant in drills from eight to ten inches apart will give the greatest yield and most labor. Our gar deners all plant in this way, but the farmers, who have plenty of land, plant so as to cultivate both ways, and do this labor almost entirely with the horse In Western New York the patato crop is one of the most important of the farm It is common in this section to blow under crop of clover as preparation for crop of potatoes. The difference between the average yield under ordinary culture and the large yield obtained by the most thorough system of manuring will abundantly pay the expenses of this higher culture.

A New Trial.

A new trial has been granted by the Supreme Court of California in the case of witness named Barry, who was sen tenced to fourteen years imprisonment in the State prison under conviction oi perjury in testifying in the well-remem- bered Kalloch-De Young murder trial in San Francisco. The Supreme Court held that the lower tribunal erred in in- structing the jury that conviction must result if it were proved that kal- loch fired first. The point in the trial having been the defendants denial on oath, of having told persons that De Young had not fired the first shot, the charge tended to mislead the jury. The judgment has therefore been reversed and the case remanded.

Knnpers Ferry.

Sam Kimper was master of the only ferry that crossed Maple River between the mouth of that stream and the first ford above, so his neighbors might have called him a monopolist had they ever known the word and it's meaning. Like many another monopoly, the ferry was not source of unlimited profit, for al though the franchise and necessary ap- performances had been held by the Kim per family for twenty-five years, the family mansion was merely log hut of two rooms; the one ferry-boat was fat-bottomed bateau, just long and wide enough to accommodate pair of horses and wagon, and the motive-power, which was always applied to the smaller end of a long spiked pole, was Sam Kimpers own muscle
 Some people who went to church said the knowing pulse of the machine was whisky so bad that it had never even paid the income tax, and Sam not only neglected to deny this insinuation, but rather gloried in it. Everyone who had tried to persuade Sam to stop drinking had come to grief. During one of the great temperance movements that oeca- sionally become epidemic in Western States, old Parson Douse, of the Baptist Church, waded through some shocking roads to pay Sam special visit for re- formatory purposes, and he compared Sam, by way of compliment, to St.. Christopher, the first ferryman on rec ord. He was obliged to report on his return, however, that although he was accorded every courtesy peculiar to the Klmper family, he found Sam drinking harder than ever, and that, far from be- ing in spirit as well as in act 8 disciple of St. Christopher, Sam used language that never was heard from saint except in the course of sermon, and had actr- ally asked him, Parson Douse, to play euchre just to pass the time away.
 Sam was summoned from his fireside and pipe one cold winter afternoon bv a blast from the tin horn that hung on g tree on the opposite side of the river AAO oAOOC, SWO1O b 44Ub1C, GOOh h Ofl0K O1 whisky from stone jug and poled hi, way across the river. He found awaitins him light carriage and horse he hac never seen before. It stands to reason that some one was in the carriage. bu it did not occur to Sam to be ill tn least curious on the subject, althougl those who rode sat in full view, for il sparsely settled countries horses are ia more interesting than men. But as Sam with his pushing-pole, walked to an fro on the gunwale of his boat, he hear scraps of conversation that reused hir first to languid curiosity and then to
 high state of excitement. He heard
 woman's voice say
 What will my dear father think ?"

Adu4 iteration of Sugar.

Our Washington correspondent re- ports that when the bill to prevent the importation of adulterated tea is brought into the House an effort will be made to add to 1t clause forbidding and pun lshlng the adulteration of sugar and mo- lasses also. In the light of letter from MT. Duncan F. Kenner to a glucose manufacturer in this State, which has become public, we hope that not only Congress but the State Legislatures also will make haste to declare fraudulent the selling of mixture of sugar and mo- lasses with glucose, unless the quality and proportions of the mixture are open ly stated. Whoever wishes to use glu- cose has right to do so. And if any one prefers to use mixture of cane sugar and glucose rather than pure cane sugar he has the right to do this. But whoever sells such mixtures as 'ssugar'' or 'smolasses' commits fraud on the public, and ought to be liable to severe punishment.
 Glucose IS much cheaper article than cane sugar. It is worth only about half as much and it is much less sweet. If does not improve, but, on the contrary, 1t debases the cane sugar or molasses with which it is mixed. The mixture is made for the dishonest purpose of get ting high price for an article of inferior value It is fraud upon the public, ant ought to be severely punished. w hope some member of our Legislature will make haste to introduce bill pro tecting the public against this abomin able swindle, and making its commission
 a punishable offense.-N Y Herald.

Cadets In Prison.
SCENES OF DISORDER AT THE NAVAL
 ACADEMY IN ANNAPOLIS.

Thirty-nine Naval Academy cadets at Annapolis, Maryland, who participated in the cheering in ranks recently, have been placed in confinement on shipboard, to remain there until further orders. As further punishment the participants in the disorder referred to have been debarred the privilege of holding any intercourse for the present with outside associations, and of visiting the several places of amusement in the academy. the cadet hops have also been indefinitely postponed in consequence of their demonstrations. All the cadets confined on the Santee are members of the first class. The affair created much excite ment among the cadets, who naturally feel deeply impressed with their situae tion in the light of mutineers.
 During the semi-annual examinations at the Naval Academy, one of the cadets was reported for attempting to give as- sistance to his classmates. This cadet, who was a cadet officer and who was not only very popular with his own class, but also with the other cadets, was de- prived of his cadet rank by the Superin- tendent, Captain F. M. Ramsay. Be- sides this punishment he was given twenty-two demerits. To express their sympathy for the severe punishment, the cadets cheered their classmate after dinner. Although the cheering was done by very large number, only few of the participants in the cheering were reported, one of whom also happened to be cadet officer.
 This cadet was also "broken," or re- duced to the ranks and, as he was also great favorite with the division of cadets of which he was in command, he, too, was cheered by his fellow students. When the battalion was formed after din ner, the names of all the cadets who took part in the cheering were taken. Many however, refused to answer. The pun ishment inflicted upon these cadets, is regarded by their companions as being very severe, and the action of the Su- perintendent was generally discussed and criticised at the Naval Academy.
 The cadet officers of the battalion ot midshipmen, have resigned and none oi the first and second classes will accept these positions. The third and fourth classes are either incompetent or afraid to accept them.

INcREAs1Ne.-In half century the population of England and Wales has increased s6.9 per cent. At similar rate it would be doubled by 1886. Tn great cause of growth of late years has been the reduction of the death rate; thus the reduction of the death rate in the last decade is equal to the survival of 299, 1885 persons who would have died had the death rate been tho same as in the previous decades.

In the Police Court this Morning

There was quite a little stir in the
Police Court TO day during the trial Of
young fellew for shooting craps and
being disorderly on Sunday. The case
had been continued from day to das
until II was pretty well worked up on
both sides. Patrolnah Hurst, who
made the arrest, gave his side Of the
affair in 9 plain, straightforward
manner. He arrested the boy FIRST for
crap shooting, but allowed him to 20,
as be was uncertain about the proof.
when the boy turned on him, cursed
him and threatened to have him dis,
charged from the force. Hurst imme.
diately rearrested him, Patrolman
Dean, an older officer, who stood by,
recommending it.
After Hurst's testimony had been
heard to-. day, Dean was called for.
hon. John League, the boys attorney,
claimed Dean as his witness.
He is an officer of this court, and
my witness, said Judge Hadden.
He is mine; and | shall claim the
right to introduce him, said MIR.
League.
I'll see about that" exclaimed the
Judge.
"Then, if cannot manage my own
witnesses, I'll leave the case in the
hands of Your Honor and retire." ex.
claimed the Hon. John League.
"All right, sir, you can leave" re-
turned the Judge, emphasizing his re
marks with the gavel.
Il shall do so at once" and the
Hon. John rose, carefully collected
his hat, cane and handkerchief, bowed
with grace peculiarly his own and
with an expression of crushing urban
ity upon his face, departed.
A solemn hush succeeded this omi>
nous proceeding, broken at last by the
noise Of shutting feet, as Squire Pat.
rick Winters quietly left his seat and
dropped into that vacated by the Hon.
John.
The case went smoothly on to the
finish, the boy was fined IS and an ap-
peal was prayed.
