This distinguished Virginian fora secsnd

true people OF Virginia. Well did he bat

stituied the Republican party in this Com

they received from the National Republican
Committee. II was their boast that they
would carry Virginia. and fear Of this
Was felt BY n any Of our leaders. Well do
we rceolleet the scene at the last meeting Of
the Democratic State Central Committee at
Richmond, when the reports had been given
from all the districts, and a doubt was
expressed upon the part of SOME Of the
members that the vote q the State was
IN jeopardy. "Whats" said Mr.. Barbour,

not Mr.. Barbour's exact words, but they
are very near them. His remarks brought
forth the hearty applause OF all the nca-
bers, and the expression o. their eouste-
nsnces indicated that they had resolved
new courage. and that they intended 70 re-
turn to their homes aud renew their e6srts
10 bring about the realization Of Mr.. Bar

" OFFS COMET.
IS History Told by Professor Of Harvard
College Observatory.

philadelphia Ledger.
VOLTS comet, discovered in Germany
few weeks ago, now a telescope object
near the zenith IN the evening. is shown to
have an elliptic orbit, and 10 make a com.
plete revolution once in about six years.
IL is, therefore, new member OF the Jupi-
ter group Of comets, group which reach
out from the sun about rs far a Jupiter's
orbit. at their greatest distance. and then
approach much nearer.
There is distinct relation existing be-
tween the time OF a bOdy's revolution and
lis distance. This Was discovered 10y Keep.
Ter, aud is thus stated The squares OF the
times Of revolution Of planets or comets are
proporioned 10 the cubes Of their mean
distance from the sun. Now, Jupiter
moves in an orbit nearly circular, and re-
Quires about twelve years 10 90 around.
The comet moves in 0sttened eclipse, and
needs six years. The times OF revolution
are then as one o. two. II we apply KEEP
ltr's law we will have a. one square is 10 two
squares so is the cube Of the comets distance
10 She cube OF Jupiter's distance. This makes
Jupittr's mean distance about onse and n
| half that OF the comets. But the sun lies
in the centre OF Jupiter's orbit and near
one end OF the comets, hence We see that
the orbits are not very far distant from
each other nj the outer end oil the comets
path. There are eight or ten other comets
| OF which the same may be said. II il hardly
likely that this is accident, and = very
plausible cause has been assigned, which
may Ike outlined as follows:
Could We trace VOLTS comet back
| through its past history We should proba-
bly, see II yielding to the impulse OF our
suns attractions while yet far beyond the
bounds OF the solar system and rushing in
upon Us. Its momentum previously OBJ
I tanned, We know not how OF where. pre-
vents il from moving directly toward the
/ sun, but il left to free itself it would
approach il closely with ever increas-
( Ing velocity, swing around aud dy Oh
| in ali endless curve into unknown space,
never again approaching our sun. But in
| It's course Through our system IL has passed
I q little in front OF Jupiter. The great mass
Of the planet exercises an attractive inhu-
| ence ON the mass Of the little comet, puts y
brake on Il. and considerably checks It's
velocity. Not now having momentum 10
carry Il Tar away from the sun, il yields TO
| its great attraction. and continues a fixed
member OF our system, at each revolution
recoding 10 the poiat where Jupiter had
/ first checked It's velocity. This Is the theory
Of the existence Of all these comets with
their sphelia lying all around Juplter's
orbit. The planet has picked up the wan
dereas enc BY enc and claimed them to tls.
How many times VOLTS comet has been
going arouad before discovery b net easily
known. But having now beea found sad
its orbit computed, IL car be readily fol-
lowed, unless, like some Others si its kiad.
IL shosses 10 break Itself int fragments
and disappear frsn sieht.
