Representative Lee, of the Alexandria
district, and Col. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, spent yesterday at the Loudoun
county fair. and made speeches in Leesburg.
General Lee says Colonel Breckinridge made
one of the hsppiest speeches of bis life and
that it was received with unanimous ap-
plause. The General says that on the fair
grounds he talked with reliable people from
all parts of Loudoun county, and that not
ones did be hear of any detection or dssat-
isfaction among tbs democrats of that coun-
ty: and that he was assured they would
give their usual majority next November.
He says he was also assured that there was no
truth in the report that the mechanics OF
I ,oudoun are 10 favor of Harrison because
thsy believe that high tariff makes high
wages, as they have too much good common
sense TO be deceived by any such erroneous
idea.

GREAT clamor has been raised 10 part
Of the North because some Catholic parents
there, in accordance with the admonillon OIL
their bishop, have withdrawn their Gull
d.en from the public, and sent them to the
parochia schools As this is fee country
and as the parents referred to continue TO
pay taxes for the support of the public
schools, why they shouldn't be allowed to
educae their children according to their
own ideas is hard to tell. Indeed as any sort
Ct religion is better than more at all, ana rs
no sort ia taught in the public schools II
seems strange that many parents who are
not Catholics should not follow the exam
ple thua set them. sud send their children to
schools where religion is taught. for it is
impossible to teach religion without teach
ing morality.

THE CoMET.-Pfuf. Boss, of the Dudley
Observatory, has completed calculations of
the orbit of the new comet discovered by
Prof Barnard on September 2 This comet
has remained sonearly stationary in the sky
since its discovery that the determination
OF its true orbit or path in space has been a
work of great difficulty, and the results at
present reached can be regarded as merely
approximate. According to these the
comet is abont now twice as far from the
earth as the sun is, or about 100 million
miles, and ia at the same time about ITO
million miles from the sun. 1t is moving
toward its perihelion, or point where
it will be nearest the sun, and pre-
sent calculations indicate that this point
will be reached on December 10,
but this date is liable to be in error by fully
thirty days. As the comet and the earth
are moving toward each other from opposite
directions, the velocity Of approach toward
US is something unusual-about three mil
lion miles day. Consequently the comet
will rapidly increase in brightness; for in
stance-on October it will be about five
times as bright as at the discovery, and
about the middle of November sixty times
as bright. But at discovery it vas ex.
tremely faint, and it is rather doubtful
whether it will become visible to unassisted
eyes. Subseguent calculations will deter
mine this question with much greater GER.

Murdcred by his Guide.

LONDON, Sept. 14-Advices from the
Congo. river say that Major Bartteot has
been murdered by his carriers, and that
Jameson has returned to Stanley Falls, and
ia organizing new expedition. The news
of the murder Of Major Barttelot, the leader
of the expedition in search of Henry M.
Stanley, has given riae to speculation re
gardng the fate OF the great explorer him
self. The London newspapers are unani-
mousy of the opinion that Major Barttelot
was betrayed by Tippoo lib, who organized
the native portion of the expedition, and
the question is asked why may not Stanley
bsve been also the victim of hla treachery.

The LOSS In net earnings of the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy Railroad by the
strike of its employees amounts to nearly BIZ
million dollars. But the business OF the

creased freight charges, the loss referred TO

sustained, and who knows the suflerings the

The OBJECT for which the protective tariff
was Instituted was to stimulate and foster
the infant industries of the country MIR.
Clay said protection would not be required
nor demanded after the year lS4S. 1t is now
1888, aud the tariff is twice as high as ever
entered Mr.. Clay's imagination. Why sixty
million people should allow themselves to
be pillaged for the sole purpose Of increasing
the profits of few rich mine and factory
owners is one of the strangest things of this
strange eyentful age.
