The French Comet.

"The comet discovered in Paris
December l" said professor Boss the
director of the Albany observatory,
sis slowly increasing in brightness,
and promises to be grand spectacle.
About April l the increase will begin
to be mucn more rapid, and by the
middle OF April the comet will un-
doubtedly become visible to the ma
ked eye. Two weeks later it will be
very much brighter-perhaps at its
maxium-and then it will probably
be as brilliant spectacle MS the great
comet of 1881, which attracted so
much attention.
The position of the Paris comet
we call comets, you know, by the
names of their discoverers or after
the places from which they were first
seen-will be much like that of 1881,
and will be visible all night. 1t will be
seen in the western sky early in the
evening, as was that of 1881. 1t Will
appear very bright, as there will be
no moon to detract from its brillian-
cy. When nearest the earth the com
ct will be only 100000 miles dis
tant. This will be nearer approach
to the earth than any comet ofrecent
years has made. Another remarka-
be thing about this comet will be the
long period for which it will retain
its brightness-probably from May
l to May Is. 1t will thus afford a

Notes From Wash fngtOn, Pa.

A college sociable was held on Washing

President Of College J. D. Moffatt, D. D.,

under consideration. A committee of col
lege students drew up petition requesting
him to accept, the petition was signed by
every member of Senior, Junior, Sopbo-
more and Freshmen classes. The signing
of the petition took place on the 18th of
February.

Oil excitement is subsiding somewhat, al
though men from oil districts still lnger
about. The nature of the field abou; the
Smith well cannot be ascertainsd until in
the springtime when new wells will have
been drilled deep enough to strike oil. The
boom has caused extra work for the railroads
running to this place since they are used in
bringing thousands of feet of casing, pip
ing, lumber, besides quite number of en-
gines for drilling wells. Many teams are eu-
gagged in hauling these things To different
parts Of the county where wells are TO be
sunk.
The Smith well is valued at Sl5O,OOO

Relative 10 Trade Dollars.

"The Power and Duty of the Pres

to Trade Dollars" was discussed by
DR.. James G. Hallock, of Brooklyn.

Science Association on the evening
of the 18th ult Mr.. Hallock cor
tended that the President had the
power to order that the Treasury
shall not refuse United States coin
Trade dollars should not be refused
by the Treasury on account of the
joint resolution of July %, 1876,
which says: "The trade dollar shall
not hereafter be legal tender" be-
cause the joint resolution was passed
in the Senate upon the assurance of
Senator Sherman that everybody
will take the trade dollar for another
silver dollar" If the Treasury took
'the trade dollar for another silver
dollar the joint resolution would
stop doing holders any harm. The
President should sc order Mr. Hal

The most extensive butcher in the
world, is Armour, of Chicago. With
several other associates last year he
slaughtered a million steers, and did
S40.000.000 of business last year.
The slaughtered beef is placed in
refrigerator ears and shipped to ali
large towns in the country. Refrig-
orator ocean steamers have been con-
structed to carry dressed beef to Eu-
rope. The large ice house in the
railroad yard at this place belongs
to the great butcher Within the
past year, the slaughter of so many
cattle in the west has interfered
greatly with the shipment OF live
cattle over the through railroads,
hundreds of cattle c2-s are standing
idle on sidings. The large stock
yards at Pittsburg and Philadelphia,
are not crowded with cattle as in
years gone by. The railroads have
raised the freight rates on Armour's
dressed beef, and now some people
want to cry out against raising the
transportation rates on the greatest
butcher monopolist in the world.
He is driving live stock shippers off
the rout. He is destroying the
butchering trade in all the large
cities. He is destroying the bus
iness for cattle car-shippers, and
when the rates are raised by the
carrying companies of the country,
so that the live stock shippers can
again so into business, his admirers
e denounce the railroads as discrimin-
ators.

Money in q Log.

On the afternoon of February 25,
last, at Reading, Pa, a couple of
men we're engaged in saving to q
certain length, a lot of logs that had
been piled many years ago, on a va
can't lot The astonishment of the
workmen can be imagined better
than described, when simultaneously
with the dropping to the ground Of
the piece of wood came a juggling
sound like that of gold and silver
coins, aud upon closer examination
the realty of having discovereda bid
den treasure forced itself upon his
mind beyond all doubt. There were
eagles and half eagles, silver dollars,
half dollars aud quarters, all mixed
together in happy confusion, and
seemingly sparkled the brighter ow
ing to their long imprisonment,
Upon examining the log it was
found that section had been holl-
owed out with sugur and chisel--
about eighteen inches in length and
five inches deep. The lid or cover
was one inch thick, and fitted in so
nicely and was sealed SO carefully
that no one could have detected it.
The treasure was found to have bcen
first placed in a ladies' home knit
white wooden stocking, the toe of
which had been cut off by the sharp
teeth of the saw, causing it to leak
and discharge some of its precious
contents. The amount cannot now
be ascertained, but it is supposed to
be large, and as to the time when
the secretary was made, it Was evil
dent that it was during the war of
the late rebellion, since there was
found specimen each Of three, FIVE,
ten, twenty five and fifty cent scrip,
nicely folded up in piece of best
quality writing paper, among the
contents.
1t is said that there is not q line
OF writing or anything else which
would lead to clue toward finding
the rightful owner.

The United States Senate is max
ing goose of itself in its charges
against Cleveland for keeping secret
his reasons for removing Republicans
from Office. There may be exceptions,
but on general principles, the fact
that man is Republican is suffi-
cient reason for a Democratic admin
istration to remove him. The Sena-
tor who attacks such general princi-
Piles, is defeated man before the
attack has been made. There is one
feature, however, about the case,
that, perhaps, keeps Cleveland from
boldly telling the Senate that he re-
moved Republicans because he desir-
ed to put Democrats in their place,
and that reason is, the Democracy
during the late campaign espoused
the cause of Civil Service Reform.
and loudly proclaimed that there
should be no removals from office. in
the event Of the election of Cleve-
land, except for cause. Whoever
heard of the Presbyterian church fill
ing its offices with Lutberans? Who
ever heard of the Lutheran church
filling its offices with Presbyterians
Who ever heard of a party ever fill
ing its offices with men of different
party? Can't the United States Sen.

JAMES g. BLAINE.

A Republican national adninistra-
ton, with South and Central Amer
ican policy, such as was fore shadow
ed by James G.. Blaine. when he was
Secretary of State under the lament
ed Garfield, would Eft the business
of the United States to its feet.
There is little-comparatively speak
ing-to be expected from Europe in
the way of profitable trade. There
is little to be expected from China
and India, but from Central and
South American intercourse and trade
a mutual benefit may be derived that
will continue for three generations
to come James G.. Blaine is the
American statesman who understands
the South American question in its
relation to the Republic, and he has
the ability and aggressigeness to
make the Monroe Doctrine a living
issue for the general welfare of the
people of the South. Central and
North America. During the four
months of the Garfield administra
ton he had prepared the way for the
holding of Congress of all the gov
ernments Of South, Central and North
America, excepting the government
OF Canada Had Garfield lived, a
close national intercourse would have
been extended between South, and
Central America. and the United
States, that would have placed be
yond line of possibility, business
depression like that which now sits
like horrid nightmare on the bust
ness of the United States. 1t would
be to the general interest of the
country to nominate a statesman for
the Presidency in 1883 like james
G. Blaine.

Lively Corpse.

Last week the people of Catskill
and vicinity, N. T., were worked up
to considerable state of excitement
over suit in court against man
named Anthony Accetta and others,
for conspiracy to defraud the FL
deity Mutual Life Association of
Philadelphia. out of ten thousand dol
lars. The jury returned a verdict
of guilty against Accetta and 9TH
ers.
In January 1885, Anthony Accetta,
an interpreter. residing in the village
of Catskill, New York, applied for
policy of insurance in the Fidelity,
and after careful medical exn lana-
ton of the applicant the policy was
issued a few weeks afterwards he
obtained an accident policy in the U.
S. Mutual Accident Association Of
New York, and subsequently took out
another such policy in the New Eng
land Accident Association of Bos-
ton.
These politics were all made paya-
BILE to bis estate. Within two weeks
of the issuance Of the last policy the
association were notified that the in .
sured was drowned, about eleven o.
clock at night, in the Catskiii Creek,
near its confluence with the Hudson
river, while out fishing with his broth
er and a small boy. Tue fidelity i'm
mediately sent Mr.. Alexander Nc
Knight to Caiskill to investigate the
matter. Suspicious circumstances
reported by Mr. Mcknight led the Of
ficers to the conclusion that Accetta
was still alive, and that it was an at
tempt to swindle.
The plot had been well planned
and well executed. Careful plans
were inatured for the apprehension
OF the supposed drowned man and
these were skilfully executed by Mr
Mcknight. After few weeks hard
work by night and day, Mr.. Nc
Knight pounced upon the lively
corpse of the drowned man. in Cleve
land, while he was writing a letter.
The assistance of an officer was pro
cured. and Accetta was taken into
custody and seal ched.
On his person were found several
letters from a woman named Hanley,
in Calskill, with whom he boarded,
written in cipher, together with lit
tie book containing tho cipher and
the key to it, as we'll as a letter in
cipher written by Accetta addressed
ready to mail, to the woman in Cats
kill. These letters showed conclu
sively that conspiracy had been en-
tered into to defraud the iiisurahct
companies.

The comet will then disappear
from the view of persons in the north
ern hemisphere, and will sweep all
its grandeur into the sight Of people
south Of the equator. To them it
will retain its brightness for longer
time than to observers in the north
ern hemisphere. 1t will gradually
fade from view, and about May 81
will not be visible except as tele-
scopic object. 1t will remain with
in the telescope view, however, until
about the LIST of August-an unusual
period of visibility. At the same
time, continued the professor, "and
under much the same conditions, the
comet recently discovered by Bar
nard is increasing in brightness. 1t
is doubtful, however. whether this
comet will become visible to the ma
ked eye to observers in this hemis-
phere. At about the same time that
the Paris comet disappears from our
view in the northern sky the Barnard
comet will also disappear and may
be seen by observers south of the
equator. 1t is possible that it, too,
may be visible to the naked eye from
southern points. The Barnard COM
ct will also remain visible until the
1st of August or later. These two
comets together will constitute the
most remarkable conjunction of ce'
lestial phenomens noticed for years.
Neither comet has previous record

They had a first class religious
meeting excitement, Oh the evening
of the 23rd of March, in the chapel
of the Evangelical Association at
Temple, small village about six
miles from Reading Pa. The Phila-
delphia Times says, the crowd was
thrown into the greatest excitement
when two of the relatives of young
lady named Lena Myers, who was
kneeling at the altar, made a rush
through the crowd aud attempted to
drag her away, not wishing her to
Join the Evangelical Association.
When they reached the altar they
were met with the opposition of the
male members of the congregation,
who soon compelled them to retreat.
A second attempt was made and one
of the girls sisters seized her by the
arm and attempted to pull her away.
More force was then applied and the
disturbers of the meeting we're hurl-
ed back into the crowd. About this
time all were upon their feet and
some mounted the benches, in order
to see what was transpiring. The
attempt to take the penitent girl
away proved unavailing and some of
the party threatened the intruders
with severe punishment if they again
attempted to prevent the girl from
seeking religion according to her
own convictions. The relatives of
Lena tried to obtain the assistance
OF the village Constable, but that of
fetal declined to interfere. People
attend these meetings for miles
around.
