Prof John NJ. Klein, Kentucky's
astronomer, says we may look ont
for II brilliant comet in the south
western heavens in August or the
latter part Of this month. He has
been induced to make this prediction
because of having noticed recently
the unmistakable path or orbit of the
comets streak in the heavens re-
sembling somewhat the Milky Way.
He states that it is impossible to see
it at present, as it travels in the orbit
OF the sun. whose brilliant light du-
ring the day prevents the human eye
from gazing at it, The DETECTION
by the latter part of July or August
will, however, bring it above the ho-
rizon dnring the early evening hours,
when it will be plainly visible and
when it will be in the first magnitude
As Prof. Klein, says the Courier
Journal. has heretofore predicted
and discovered comets with unfail,De
accuracy, the fulfillment Of this pre-
diction will be looked forward tt

pressed the very contrary ideas l don't believe

ject, force can accomplish nothing for the masses
of the people until they form some intelligent
idea of what they want And when they do this,
force will be needless. What everywhere en-
slaves men is their own ignorance and selfish
ness. All governments, all institutions really
rest the active support or passive acquiescence
of the masses. And for this reason the work Of
social reform is not matter of fighting. but of
education. The dynamite of ideas is infinitely
much more powerful than that which will throw
down buildings and blow holes i'll streets.

must not criticise. was glad TO learn from my
friend that the income from the incidental ex-
pense fund" of this department more than pays
its expense, and furnishes something toward the
general fund.
In few days start for my far-away home,
with thanks to the journal for permitting me to
say a few words for "Old Asbury." that was
De PAW that is. Summing up my observations
in very few words. The contributions of this
town and county towards improvements have
been more than duplicated by Mr.. DePauw, and
still there is more to follow: that in material
resources this institution can hardly be second to
any in the West, WHILE as intimated last week.
there is an air of push and business seldom found
in the management of such an enterprise. My
friend is an enthusiast for the university and for
De PAW. why" said he. when | had fairly
drawn him out Mr.. DePauw writes more
letters to dIsting uished educators, studies the
wants of a university more thoroughly and more
Understandings, watches everything great and
small, more diligently than all the other mem
bers of the board put together; he literally makes
a business of it; hence when the board meets
everyone naturally defers to him on all subjects,
from the selection of teacher to the
buying of bricks, not more because he
puts more money in it than all of them,
but more brains and thought than all Of
course. therefore, he generally has his own way;
but it is way enlightened by mature thought
and as devoid of selfish ends as is possible That
he is sometimes msled by too much confidence
in some local advisers is true, but he means
right, and generally does right" VIAToR
2. S.-Further inquiry this week by my
friend has disclosed that although Prof. Basset
was paid only three ,fourth's of his years salary
at the time of his leaving, at the close of full
years work, which gave rise to the unfriendly
criticism alluded to in my last, some
months later, and after the Professor had gone
into another institution, the remaining fourth
was paid. which fact was not generally known in
this community l congratulate myself and the
which has given occasion to correct false i'm
preston entertained by many of the best-posted
unofficial friends of the university. And now
my friend comes forward as usual with an
saying that this comes of paying salaries quar-
terly, and that the case of retiring professor
makes no exception-that he must wait the
next quarterly payment for his last quarters

where young chaps who have derived some
money from industrious parents. or who have
married simple women of wealth and who

the club every afternoon, imagining they are

was few years ago, before the buying of com

regiment, in which one of the British princes
was the nominal colonel. He had to pay high

example. that there three horses he

several times their value and they proceeded to

was given in honor of Lady Shoepeg or Lady

was expected to take so many tickets and con-
tribute SO much. He was then invited to gam
