Comets.

Several comets visible to the naked eve
have been seen in the past score of years.
There has been no falling off in this re.
spect, so far as we know, as compared with
the average twenty-year period of the cent.
ury thus far. Some comets have regularly
ascertained periods, and the dates OF their
return to the vicinity of the earth are
known. Most of the comets, however, ap.
pear without warning. One may be sight.
ed somewhere or other tonight or to-mor.
row night. And then again none may
come into plain view within the next year
or two. We have to take our chances in
this respect. Somewhere in the ncighbor.

have been recorded rs appearing since the
beginning of the Christian era,-or an aver.
age Of about one every four years.-St.

The big Methodist Book Concern on the
corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth
street is the headquarters of all the clergy
men of that denomination who visit New
York. They delight in visiting it's spa
cious salesrooms and in travelling up in
its elevators. The other day half dozen
of them made the ascent 10 the upper re-
gions. In the elevator with them was a
prominent lawyer of Baltimore whom, on
account of his somewhat clerical demeau-
or, one of them mistook for a fellow crafts
man.
Where do you preach, brotherY" said
the parson, slapping the Baltimore man on
the shoulder.
Il don't preach, practice, " said he good
naturally.
What do you practice!" persisted the
clergyman.

laughter from the other preachers.-New

The Decay of the Myth.

The Decay of the Myth.
When the Germans and DR.. Arnold dis
posed Of POmulus AMI Remus and their
nurse, who was a more genial form of Red
Rdinghood's grandmother, all fairy land
was in danger, and since then the whole
realm of poetic story has been invaded
HawthOrne's Wonder Book" would now
have to be rewritten, for its wonders have
heen reduced from poetry to prose, Even
the faithful Lempriere is left adrift as
doubtful as Herodotus. The labors of
Hercules are assailed, and the sea birth of
Venus is no longer certain The names,
too are changing. There was time when
it was enough to call the queen of Jupiter
Juno, and the god of the sea Neptune.
But it is to be Anticipated and obsolete not
to adopt the latest court address of Here
and POseidon.
The reasons are profuse. They are as
many as those for closing the old Arabian
Nights" told as English stories and sub
shutting the more erudite Lane version.
Nobody is safe in relying upon the earlier
lessons which We're wholly satisfactory to
his ancestors. What seemed to be the
very ultima thule of knowledge a cent

churches was held last night In st.

ing present, and the greatest interest
was manifested.
Right Rev. Bishop Coleman preached
tho sermon and took for his text st.
John VII, II: ut was now dark and
Jesus was not come to them." Among
other things he said In reference To
the presence OF Christ was this
IL IL indeed darkness without Him,
but His apparent absence Is not to be
construed Into anything like indlffer,
ence to our wants. He allows his discl-
pies to be tried by dangers that they
may have their faith and patience en-
larged. He tarTies sometimes even to
the Fourth watch OF the night" that
our endurance ard perseverance may
have their perfect work.
While His enemies are triumphing In
their short-lived success, His faithful
followers are seen walking on the
troubled waters. and as He brings
peace and safety they hear His voice
saying In somewhat tender rebuke,
BE Of good cheer; II is !; DO not
afraid"

service OF the season were: The Rev,

damages sustained will not h 10
until April l. 1893.
The finances OF the county would
permit OF no extra expense this year,
except in what was absolutely neces-
sary.
In the afternoon Sc don the resigna-
ton OF James L. Hawkins as one OF the
county constables elect was read and

Mossrs. Hutchinson and Hickman
were added to the committee on bonds.
Messrs. Jolls and Eliason, commit

hereby report having performed that

The second report was as follows:
ITO the Chairman and Members OF
the Levy Court: The committee ap-
pointed to examine the error list OF W.
Il. Biggs, collector OF st. Georges
hundred for the year 1890, hereby re-
port having performed that duty and

collector of st. Georges hundred for
the year 1890, report having performed
that duty and find on said dog list
errors to the amount OF 9794. and re-
commend an allowance OF that amount.
The motion to adopt the report tIy
MIR. Jolls brought out tho question
from Mr.. Grub as to how much the
dog tax was In st. Georges hundred.
Mr.. Jolls stated that the collector OF
that hundred asked the Levy Court to
make an allowance for $794 for delin-
quent dog taxes out of a total assess-
ment of $915.
A large assessment OF dogs he said
had been made against persons who
were not on the assessment list for
county taxes. There were also a large
number Of persons assessed for dogs
who had been returned as delinquents
the preceding year. He then referred
to the report OF tho collector OF Pen
cader hundred who only asked for an
allowanceof S74. After this light upon
the Democratic method OF assessing
dogs, the reports were adopted and
the Court adjourned until 10 O'Clock this
morning.

Yesterday afternoon Mary Lindsey,
the wife Tan itinerant Umbrella mend
or, stopped two gentlemen ut Eighth
and King streets and inquired the way
to Chester. She said her husband had
be ut her, and she was determined TO
leave him. Mary evidently changed
her mind afterwards. as she became
very drunk and was taken In by the
police. This morning she recited her
''tale of woe" to Judge Ball, but it had
very little effect, as he imposed fine

over to the Hotel simmons where, as
her husband is also on drunk, she
