A Few Thoughts.

The attention of every reader ofthis

OF every subscriber paying for it in
advance. Our subscription list must
be increased, we must have more adj

by all. Everybody likes the MEsEN-

A Bill Adopted for Presentation to the
Legislature, and What its Provisions
Call for.
An important meeting of the school
commissioners WAS held at the city
clerks cffise yesterday afternoon, at
which all the members. save one who
was excused on business, were present.
A ~ ,lution was adopted to the effect
that the parents of all children outside
the city school limits who are due for
tuition up TO date. be required to settle
by the LIST Of March or keep their chill
dren at home. A number have already
paid up, but there are yet many who
are In arrears. 1t was reported to the
board that the colored school children
have raised quite a handsome sum Of
money by subscriptions. to help defray
the incidental expenses Of their school.
The board then received and adopted

to draft a bill for The Legislature, in be-

Puck and the Boys.

Our correspondent Puck, in last
weeks issue, raised some excite
mcnt among the boys of the city.
Now, we said last week, that we
did not think Puck had special ref
erence to any individual. At least
he was not at all personal in his ar
ticlc, and there is no cause for any
one to take offense at the letter un-
less his toes are mashed The in
tentions of Puck are plain, timely
and good. He has had many COM
pliments passed on him in our hear
ing, and some of them pretty rough.
Puck has his peculiar style for
putting things, yet, as one of the
young men, we admit that we are
not everything we might be, and as
one of thcm, we admit, that Puck is
right.
The object of Puck Ia to stir the
young men up to sense of their en-
rors and their duty. Ifyou are not
touched don't finch. If you are,
and think injustice done you, these
columns are open to all.

awakened by the news. 1t is still teIescop-
&c comet and very faint one at that. but the
astronomers have discovered some facts CON

OUT OF proportion to its apparent size
II appears from their calculations that the
comet Is probably three or four times as far
rom the earth as the sun is. and. as the orbit
seems to be nearly perpendicular to that of
the earth, it. distance from the sun is about
as great as lis distance from the earth But
IT IS surprising thing for a. comet TO be dis
covered when so tar away from the sun. and
unless there Is some serious error in the cal
cuiatlons II will take this comet until the
beginning or next summer to reach its peri
helion.
During all that time these astronomers will

from the outer space studying its develop
ment and the changes which take place in its
appearance as it draws nearer and nearer to
the sun.
According to the same calculations the dis
lance OF the comet from the sun when il is at
periheiion Will be about equal to the earth's
distance from the sun. In that case il will
approach very close to the earth's orbit and
II Is possible that the earth and the comet
