The Governor will probably call a
meeting Of the Board Of Managers Of the
Lee Monument Association in few
days. lie and other members Of the
Board have been so busy recently in
other ways that they have been unable
before 10 turn their attention in this di-
rection. There are so macy important
questions on the subject that the Board
has found it necessary to proceed slowly
in order to make as few mistakes as
possible. So many difficulties have
been met with, some Of them unfore-
seen, that II is possible the Board will
determine to postpone the laying Of the

The Great Doris Cireus.

Boston Globe, July 10, lse0.l
John 3. Doris's circus and menage-
RE had full attendance last evening al
Chelsea. In fact, the large tent scarce
ly held the vast throng. Miss Stokes,
whose wonderful riding has been the
chief topic in Boston society, rode
and rode in a manner which proclaimed
her, indeed, q rider graceful, fearless,
and beautiful. The applause was tre-
mendous. Mr.. James Robinson, also,
who is known the world over as the
champion bare back rider, performed
in 8 way never before seen by Boston
audience-st least, not since Mr.. Rob
inson's last visit. He is, without doubt,
a finished artist, defyipg the most cap
tious criticism. Every department of
the circus and menagerie is conducted
on frst-class principles. Each per
former does his or her work IN a most
complete way. We looked in vain for
= bad or commonplace act. AS q cir
Gus il is certainly success, and, IN
fact, exceeded on. expectations. The
show Is in every wsy worthy Of patron
age.
The Doris circus will exhibit in
Richmond Saturday, September llth.

time to appoint the committee provided
for in the resolutions:
Whereas it is believed that a social

talk about the interests and wants OF the
city, will do good by making us know
each other better, by increasing the In
terest Of all Of our people in the work Of
this Chamber, and thus tend 10 the
general welfare and advancement Of all
the different interests Of our city ::
therefore be it
Resoired By this Board, l, That
there shall be social gathering Of this
Chamber 10 be held on the evening OF
November IL, 1856. at which at least
one representative Of each business
house, firm, or corporation belonging
to this Chamber land such guests a.
the committee hereafter named shall
deem proper shall be invited to be
present.
.. That a committee Of four mem
bers Of this Board (of which the presi-
dent shall be chairman er-oficio) be ap-
pointed by the Chair TO make all pre-
parations necessary to carry cut the
foregoing resolution, and that all neces-
ssry expenses incurred by said com
nittee in this behalf shall be psid on
Of the treasury Of the Chamber on the
order Of the chairman Of said commit
tee.
ARBITRATION COMMITTEE.
1t having been suggested that the
constitution required that the Arbitra-
tion Committee should be elected, in

on motion Of Mr. Starke, the existing
committee was elected, as follows: Hon.
George L. Christian, f. o. Noting.
Clay Drewry, Robert s. BOsher, and
John G. SPOTS.

A Frightening Comet

The comet discovered 10 Paris on
December /, is slowly increasing in
brightness, and promises txbep grand
spectacle. About April st ini i !,
the middle Of April the cofact will IN
douotedly become visible TO the naked
eve. Two weeks later it WILLIS very
mach brighter perhaps at its maxi
mum-and then it will probably be as
spectacle as the great comet Of 1881,
which attracted so much attention
The position If the Paris comet will be
much like that Of tie cometof 1881,
and will be visible all night. It 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 brillaney
When nearest to the earth the comet
sill be only 12,C00,000 miles distant
This will be a nearer approach to the
earth than any comet Of recent years
has made, Another remarkable thing
about this comet will be the long period
for which it will retain It's brightness
probably from May to Is. 1t will
thus afford long time for popular study
Of its appearance The comet will then
disappear from the visw of persons in
the northern hemisphere, and will sweep
all its grandeur into the sight of people
south Of the equator 10 them it will
retaie its brightness for longer time
, than to observers ID the northern
hemisphere. 1t will gradually fade
from view and about May 81 will not be
{ visible except as telescope object.
1t will remain within the tely-
g SCOPE view, however, until about the
c lst Of August-an unusual period Of
!, visibility At the same time, and under
! much the same conditions, the comet
recently discovered BY Barnard is in
ereasiug in brightness. 1t is doubtful,
! however, whether this comet will become
visible to the naked eye to observe in
# this hemisphere.
