The recently elected Legislature OF Vir-
ginia meets tomorrow. If both houses
choose their officers without delay, voting
for United States Senator to succeed
Gen. Malone in 1888, will BEGIN next Tues
day, the I4th instant. The leading candi-
dates sre Congressman John w. Daniels
and John S. Barbour. AS the Legislature il
strongly Democratic in both branches
there is little doubt that one of these gem
tlemen will be chosen. 1t is generally
believed the chances are in favor OF Dan
iels, beyond any doubt the foremost
orator in tie South. His is a striking per-
sonalify, and his manner, when speaking,
Is electric. Besides these qualities he
possesses those of the scholar, the thinker
and the able lawyer. He would be q
notable accession to the Democratic ranks
in the Senate.

R. Calthrop, the astronomer, wss on the
lookout Saturday night for a shower Of
stars connected with the Risls comet,
which, it was calculated, would illumine
the heavens between and 9 o'clock. At
Z o'clock, as the radiant point was near the
zeniba, the shower burst into view, stars
dropping downward in the north and east
to the number Of 129. At 8 o'clock there
was another shower, in which DR.. Cal
throp counted 130 stars. The spectacle
was a very brilliant one. 1t has great as
tronomicel value on account OF its connec-
ton with the comet and the promptness
of its appearance. The shower was first
observed on November 81, 1872.
