ivorable state of the atmosphere to those already
wn. These causes have increased the bill of mor
hty. Tbe number of n. w cases occurring since
that time has been proportionally very small, and
we nee nothing mdu alive of a change in 1 he health
oi the city, that coaid warrant us in expressing a
deviation of the opinion so repeatedly given in our
olarnns for the past f-w days. Our confide-sce in
the future reports of the Board of Health giving a
i flattering account of our eanatory condition,
urge s us to solicit our friends abroad to rely upon ue
tor full and truthful statements. We beg all to 11s
t -to to no rumors, but look to us for facts.
The City—lts Kep^tatiun.—There are many
r.en who would be snoked at the idea of slandering
*u individual, who with seeming delight will dwell
upon the slander of ato nrn. Wean.- struck with
.e difference in the tone aad style of the editorials
which have graced the columns of our exebanges,
when < mmenring upon tho sick nerd in Savannah.
Some seem to gloat over our ni.sfortune, while
others have hearts full of syrn 4 athy for us. Is not
rlie reputation of a city as sacred tu that of an in
< ividua 1 ? Upon wnat more tender point can the
prosperity of a city be availed than health ? What
(haracter is to a man, health is to a city; and the
person who wilfully slanders the city la as guilty of
tdl that s me.au and coi teinptible, as he who back
bites his neighbor. It is unpleasant to think so
hardly of human nature, as some instances of its
reltlshnesa have of late compelled us to do. We
hear of and read reports every day, which are so
utterly false, that nothing but a malignant, lying
disposition could have originated them, and it is
under the spur of these rumors t hat we write. The
Federal Union says, very uujußtly and without the
slightest foundation, as any one can see by refer
euceto the columns of the N* ws ae well as the Ke
publican, that “the prees of Savannah keeps very
quiet on the eubj-ct, which induces u$ to believe
tnat the fever exist to a more alarming exteiff than
is reported.’’
We have been faithful as well as truthful chroni
cles ot the times, and if w’e have made any mis
statement at all it was when we advised our read
ers from the editorial in the News of the 14th which
stated that u:.* to that time since the previous re
port of the Board of Health, there had been four or
/ire deaths from yellow fever. We advised our
•readers to believe it, because the editor of the News
••/as Chairman of the Buard of Health, and had ta
ken pains to inform himself. It turned out, how
ever, by the fficial report of the Board, which in
cluded two or three days more, that.only three dea hs
had occurred Iron that disease. For this mis state
i *enf we are hardly responsible, aud only revert to
. to show that we have given a true picture of our
c mdil'nm all the t ime. We really are not so bad off
/ s the Federal Union appears to want us to be. It
.- etna lo us that a more charitable, as it would sure
ly have been a more truthful, conclusion to have
crawn from our silence, if we had been silent,
. should bethh* She reports were without foundation.
The course oi the Uuiou rather indicates that the
v, i-hw as farther to the thought. We would try and
‘ induce it to believe” that uiu inference ia entirely
w rung.

An Oer True Tale.—A few afternoons since,
walkiLi. down Apollo street, our attention was
reeled by nu huo.Dle funeral procession passing
. w.y up to the Laiayette Cemetery. It was one
c-.rnage only, and its occupants were a decently
C reseed mac and woman—evidently husband and
wife—holding between them a diminutive white
tfiu —that of a child about three years old Both
. vked pale and care-worn the woman weeping
. . ntly—the man. however, with a stern expression
a boat the brow, eyes and mouth, that showed what
- .forts hs was making to retain his composure
Two days after, about the same hour, we again
saw tbe same sad p ooession—the same mourners—
* n!y thoee two afflicted beings—and resting on
. .eir laps a tiny coffin, evidently that of a babe.
The woman this time had a haggard expression
—s Dlank stare, a bewildered look. She evidently
,w nothing of what passed around her. She was
. ail likelihood unconscious of even the extent of
.er own bereavement. The misery she had under
. . ue had overburthened her mental faculties , they
were strained almost beyond endurance. She had
lo tears to abed . life was evidently indifferent to
bar.
The man, ou the other hand, appeared to be over
whelmed with grief. Gone tbe firm compressure of
1 he lips, the almost tierce gaze of the eyes, the fixed
irown of the brows. The father bent down on the
mile white box that seemed almost a toy. so small
was it. His arms were stretched over it, bis face
leaned on it it seemed as if he were trying to grasp
and bold to his bosom, and drag from the tomb, the
, old form of his babe. I’ was. doubtless, the dar
iing of the house he thus embraced; it was per
haps. too, the iast of the little ones of the house.
How desolate must be the hearth where little
children were and where they are no more. None
but pa: ente can realize the pang such a lose indicts .
and, alas I how many parents have realized that
bitter pang this season f—ti. O. Picayune.

Modern Democracy: Where s>* it end What
is It.
quirer, in some recent friendly allusions t * this ‘r.ur
nai, for which we tender our bt acknowledg'i/.entd
ook occa&ior, to express the hope that, at a luiurr
:f notear y day, we might be found arrayed with it
ia the zealous support of the Democratic pirty
That we m y n t be suspected of any indifference
to these good wisnes, (for we ars sure they were so
considered by the Enquirer, however, differently
they might be construed by others, we have to say,
as the moat lhat we can promise at present, that ;
we will take the subject into a consideration as se
rioue and deliberate as the bovleversement wo arc- ex
pected to accomplish is radical and novel. Having
arrived at au age which na-urally renders us cau i
lious o: sudden aud precipitate movement, aud ,
perhaps, even incur younger days,having never j
been to wonderfully endowed as some with a capa- j
city for the performance of startling feats in politi {
cal “flexibility,” we must at least be allowed to j
ponder eeriously the precise duly which would be
demanded at our hands in the event that we should
find ourselves disposed to make common lot with
•the Demi cracy. ”
We may say, then, that, even if animated by the
best intentions to hasten a speedy realization of tbe
kindly wishes utiered by our respected Iriencis of
t :e Euquirer, we fear we should find ourselves em
barrassed in takiug the initiative steps towards sued
an affiliation as they designate; for we candidly
confess that we do not fully understand ihe nature
o: the obiigarions under which we are expected to
come, or the degree iu which we are asked to de
sert the principles and measures we have hereto
fore espoused, iu tbe c-as** w© should proceed to jus
tify tho anticipations of the Enquirer. B tore we
“join the Democracy” we must at leas! be permit
ted to inquire what sort of Democracy il is u which
we are iuvit rd to give our allegiance ; Ibr we are
sure that any one who sb mid now set out in search
of “the Democratic patty ’ would return from his
wanderings not a little mystified aud puzzled by the
Protean shapes he had encountered under tna* uamo.
For some cau :e the Democratic trumpet no longer
gives forth a certain stuud, and w*> fi and the broken
squadrons of the faithful not only going into battle
under tbe conduct of different aad rival leaders, but
even, through mistake or (what would be much cad
der to contemplate) through the bitternege of their
divisions, actually firing upo;* each other in a way
ana w ith an excu ion that makes service at present
in the Democratic ranks no very engaging pastime,
oven in the eye.” of one who might otherwise be
tempted to offer hi in sell as a recruit.
What, then, we ask, is the Democracy, which our
friends of the Enquirer would commend to our
adoption? In many of Ihe .Southern Democratic
journals we read muc t of what are called “South
ern Rights Democrats, ’ as contradistinguished
trom “National Democrats.” With the nice shades
of difference between these schools, as with the
broad line of demarcation that apparently divides
them in such irreconcilable hostility, we- are not ae
thoroughly acquainted as we should deem necessary
before assuming to pronounce upon their respective
claims to rept < sent tae pure and unadulteratedprin
ciplea of the original party. If we turn cur at ten
tion to tbe Northern State?, we there find a I'til! more
sorry spectacle of unfraternal strife among bretberu
once of the same political household. Divided aud
subdivided into Claris, which seem to have little in
common, save the farnii ;.r and much-abused pa
tronymic of the family, l i. y present tbe soectacle
of “Administration Democrats” and “Anti-Adminis
tration Democrats,” “Ltompton Democrat?” • ; ri
“ Anti-Lecompton Democrats,” Democrats who
hold the “English Conlerenco bill” to be a “finali
ty” against the speedy admission “f Kansas, and
Democrats who scorn the thought ot respecting
that “compromise.’’ Indeed, Northern Democracy
in its permutations and combinations, bus come to
de and for its descriptive titles almost as many
names as are commonly attached to a Spauish In
fanta, for have “we not Anti-Lecompton-Eaglieh
confereuce-bill Democrats” arid Democrats who
were once “Lecompton” but now unfortunately
“Anti-English-conference-bill V Time indeed would
fail us to toil of Democrats who are in favor of free
trade and direct taxation: Democrats iu Louisiana
who are in favor ot both tho-,8 desiderata, but. nev
erthelesa think sugar entitled lo some protection;
Democrats iu Pennsylvai ia who have no objection
to Mr. Boyce’s report, as pointing the goal of Demo
cratic progress, but vho a.k that, iu conoid-ration
for such a concession, the duty should be raised on
iron and made perpetual; Democrats in Kentucky
who think Mr. Clay’s “American system” was a
very mistaken theory of political economy, but who
hold that a tax on imported hemp ia highly expedi
ent and constitutional; Democrats in New England
(immoderate ip thejr demands because in
their numbers) who think that the textile fabrics
should be treated with some consideration b/ those
who patronize sugar in Louisiana, iron in Pennsyl
vania, and hemp in Kentucky ; but who etiil are
willing to sacrifice a ic.rge per eentage for the fake
of harmony, as that term is understood in I>-mo
oratic parlance. The intelligent reader will easily
comprehend ou this head the theory ot Democratic
unity :n diversity, as the same is capable of being
inferred from apparently paradoxical proposi
tions ; it is that every Democrat may properly t rive
to procure protection for the products of nisi own
State if only he will set his face like a flint against
piotection of products peculiar to every other
State. And hence, too, the secret of the ingenious
process by which they are able to combine the ad
vantages that result from the advocacy of tree trade
iu gene**.! protection in particular.
And than, too, w nave Democ-ats who fai or in
ternal improvements, and Democrats who denounce
them as unconstitutional; Democrats who thin
the public lands should be disposed of as speedily a: k
possible by a general homestead bill, and Demo
crats wpo pr-yio’iuce this policy unwise and (not to
put too fine'fei point ou mew phrase) “demagogical

Curious Fact, in the British Census.
Among other facts of interest in the last census j
01 Great Britain, it is stated that the English per*,
pie in Scotland numbered 18,562 males, and 19.231
females . the Scottish people in England and Wales.
60,704 males and 42,834 females. Irish people in I
Eugland and Scotland, 219,397 males and 199,859
females.
The males in three islands at the soldier’s age of i
twenty to forty, amount to three millions, three ,
hundred thousand men. So that, with a good mill
tia system, and such a degree of military dneipiine
as experience in this country has proved can be at
tained by volunteere, England might bid defiance
to all Europe in arms.
In Great Britain, 596,030 have passed seventy ;
years a hundred and twen y-nine thousand are
over fourscore years; ten thousand over ninety
years, two thoneand and thirty-eight, ninety-five
years, and three hundred and nineteen more th.an
a hundred years. The report gives those well
known “examples of longevity, Thoma.- Parr and
Henry Jenkins —Parr live! 152 years, nine months
—Henry Jenkins, 169 yeais Tho.. "as Carr died
January 28,1588, aged 207 y ears. From the year
1739 to 1780, died 48 persons, the youngest aged 130
—eldest 175 ; also, in 1797, a mulatto in Frederick
Town. N A., said to be 180. In Kirby e Wonder
ful and Eccentric Magazine, mention is made of two
Hungarians, John R vel, in his 172d year, and Sa
rah hie wife, in her 184th.” “Their children,” adds
the’acconnt, “two sons and two daughters, are yet
alive tbe youngest eon is 116 years of age Dated
August 25, 1725.”
The picture given of the mortality of children in
the large manufacturing cities is frightfu . It is
stated that of 100,000 children born in Liverpool
only 44,797 live to the age of 30, while inguiry that
age is attained by 70, 880 out of the same number of
children born. The probable fife time is about six
years in the unhealthieet towns In Manchester
100,000 children bom are reduced to about half tha:
number in six years.
Os the professions, tbe lawyers numbers 16,763;
doctors, 18.728 ; clergy of established church. 18,-
587. The biiLd are to the population as one in 975 ;
the deaf and dumb as one in 1,670. Toe deaf and
dumb of Great Britain are said to be more common
in the agricultural and pastoral districts, especially
where the 00 on try is huiy, than in those containing
a large amount of town population. The prisons
in Great Britain as elsewhere, show but a small
population of women 24,451 males, and 4,404 fe
mmes. — Rick. Dxepatch.

A fib iro in China.
The Friend of China, in its issue of July 6, aays -.
•Iu our issue of Wednesday last we gave a short
resume ot affaire at Canton, prelacing it wiffi the
remark lhat “daily our news from that quarter got
worae and worse.” VV e have to repeat this. Such
guar, and bewilderment we could hardly have con
ceived, had we not, on a short visit last week, had
ocular demonstrations of it. Honan is deserted,
anu the chances are that next mail will carry home
news of the destruction of what, at a large expense,
has been converted into a foreign quartler Au
embargo being laid on all native boats, vegetables
poultry mutton, aud other marketables hitherto
finding the r way to the officers’ messes, have stopp
eu altogether. Chinese mess-men vanishing in
some cases with credit ou the wrong side—officers
have now to forage for themselves. We had an op
portunity of accompanying a party in search ot a
t. w necessaries on Saturday afternoon last, aud tra
versed the Straight Street of Benevolence of Love
from the Commissioner’s yamun to the East Gate.
Aearly every shop was closed, and those with the
doors open ;md very little to sell. At stalls by the
wayside only could a few catties of rice be procured.
Ten pounds of tea from one store left about 20 lbs.
more in small boxes ; sugar appeared to be hidden
ui some secret recess, aud a couple of small pul
lets were the sole remains of a dozen poultry bas
kets Even the gales of that resort of gamblers
aud ruffians of all descriptions—the City Temple—
are closed. Such a picture of desolation was real
ly pt.iuful to witness.
“But what has been the immediate cause of this 1
some wilt ask. The answer is short. Repelling all
attempt at sociability, the Chinese meet our advan
ces with cruelty. We give an instance of what oc
curred ou Saturday last, almost under our own
eyes Pour Frenchmen landed trom one of the Ca
smat’s boats for the purpose of purchasing provi-
I ‘oii - Wueu near the South Gate, and in the new
city, they were hemmed in by the Braves. Three
cut iheir way through; the fourth was captured,
and lis head and hands cut isl in almost less time
than it ti kes us to write this sequel.
‘The French naval commander on the river
lauded a party of men, marched to tbe street where
the murder was committed, measured off 100 paces,
and at one end placed a detachment, with direc
tions to shoot every man thut tried to escape. A
similar party barred the other end. Then came the
revenge Every adult male in the houses lining
the hundred paces was seized, shot, his throat cut,
aidli en left to swelter in tbe sun as a warning to
tiie neighborhood.
“Forty six bodies, about one to each yard, made
a ghastly spectacle. Ai a matter of course, only
ti e maimed, the halt, and the blind wii! lemain long
er in Ikis doomed city after occurrences such as
these. -
“As dastardly was the murder of the cook of the
7Uth Bengal Native lufantry officers, mess. Former
ly servant to General Van Straubenzee, he spoke
excellent English, aud was a most valuable man.
“He had just reached a small avenue leading up
to the tempie in which the officers have their mess
room, wheu he was stabbed from behind, and, fall
i> g down, was headless in a moment. Two Sepoys
w ere close by, and in such haste to get away were
the assassins, that the knife was left in the victim’s
back. Brigadier Cortield, iu charge at the time,
agreed with the suggestion that an example of some
kml should be made. The whole street was levelled
with tho ground.
“House destruction, in fact, is the business of the
day. .Saturday night some rockets were flung into
the Commiesionailat stores from houses adjaceut.—
Ihe whole neighborhood will come down in order
that it shall not be repeated. Last Wednesday,
Captain Whiting, 70th Bengal Native Infantry, in
cnarga ol the East Gate, was sitting in the upper
room of the barrack, when two shots passed close
over his head, and through the roof. Looking round
to see where they could come from, smoke was ob
served issuing from loop-holes iu a house in the
Straight Street of Benevolence and Love below.—
Action was prompt. A howitzer stood loaded, was
tired through the gable end of tbe building, and ear
ri,-d destruction to all witbin it. Now the Military
Train rooiies are busy moving the houses in the vi
cinity of ail the gates. ’’
Prom the Friend of China , July 9.
Captain Jenkins, of her Majesty's ship Actseon,
and seven marines of the Tribune, have been in
rather a precarious state at Whampoa from the ef
fect of gunshot wounds received on the night of
Wednesday last. The affair in which they were en
gaged, originated iu this wise:—A party living in a
ebon abreast the Tribune moored off the upper part of
the entrance of French River, as it leads down from
Whampoa New Town towards Sunchow was alarm
ed by the appearance of numerous lanterns on the
hill forming the northeast corner of French Island ;
mid concluding—a natural couclusion in these times
of direful anticipation—that the bearers of these
lights must b. braves, whose object would be the
erection of a battery and the shelling of the gun
boat Forester us she lay helpless in dock, he lost no
ti ne iu calling on board the Actatou, moored off the
upper corner of Danes’ Island, to report the circum
stance to Capt. Jenkins. That officer at once de
termined on landing on the island and frustating
tiie operations of the braves before the batteries
c uid be completed. Including boats crews from
the Tribune, 100 men were detailed for the service,
and about ten P. M., they were landed quietly at
the landing place about,half way down French River.
Thence they marched ou to the large village of Sam
tseiang, which was scoured from end to end without
a man being seen.
“The party were returning, taking with t’ em
three men of the village, when, just as they reached
wlmt is termed the Water Gate, close by a large
p .nd, a gingali battery opened file with terrific es
feet. One of the Tribune’s received no less than
27 bullets, and in not expected to live ; while, as we
h ive said, six others and Capiain Jenkins were also
wounded m .re 01-leas seriously. Captain Jenkins

Supposed Loss of the Australian Passenger
Ship Ultenia with 180 Souls— For several
! weeks the most painful anxiety has prevailed re
j specting tiie fate of Ihe Australian passenger ship
Ui onia, Capt. Wm. S. Baker, which left tile
Thames for Melbourne with 180 souls on board in
’ the early part of last Novemoer, Unhappily there
; is too much reason to fear that the ship will never
again be ueard of, aud the soenes daily witnessed
ai Lloyd’s by the frequent visile aud anxious in
| quiries of the relatives aud friends of those on
i board are most distressing.
The Ultonia was a large Quebec built ship 1,341
tous register, belonging to Messrs. Moore &. Cos., of
Liverpool, and in the course of September, last
year, she was chartered to Messrs. Fry & Davison,
; the White Horse line of Australian packet ship
brokers, in Fenchohurch street, for a voyage to
Melbourne. She was comparatively anew vessel,
having been built iu 1854, and was classed A 1 for
seven yoars.
She loaded in the East India Docks. On Nov.
3d she was cieared by the London Emigration of
ficers, having on board 123 steerage passengers,
families, and six cabin passengers—her crew, inciu
ding master and officers, numbering 54. She pass
ed through the Downs on the 6th of November, and
progressed on her voyage, although somewhqt .at
dily.and on the 15th ot March she yws sjjduou in
Ist. 15 S., long. 52 W.—a ?hwiderable distance to
the southward of tue Cape. Since then not tbe
least tidings nave been heard of the ship, or any of
i,er numerous passengers. It was reported that she
had been again spoken with ou the 3d of May, Vat
it turns out to refer to the previous apea'xing.—
More than five months hqva transpired since she
was last seer, gnu several mails have arrived from
“hots .ntehigenoe might have been expected of her
but not the least particle of information hse'CAaeto
hand. • ‘
Indeed at Lloyd’s she Lt-J Ot-f-n given up as lost.
She lias already been posted as a missing -hip, and
ha vtiiuciple underwriters in the room have jiaitt
the insurance effected with them on sh’-pand freight.’
It lias been stated that she was tadeu with
railway iron, but that tuni out to be incorrect.
From rh manifest we and that she shipped between
liOQ and 600 iron railway chairs, stowed In tha bot

The Comet*
This long-expected visitor has at length made it
appearance. It has been visible in the Northwest
tor about two hours after sunset for several even
mgs as a faint star with a nebulous train of light
about two degrees in length.
Ir can be seen distinctly by any one who will take
the trouble to attain some position where he can
seethe Northwestern horizon, between the hours of
seven and eight, P. M.
. Those who look upon the small nebulous star now
visible can hardly realize the terrific appearance of
this same object when, in 1264, it approached the
sun with a tail one hundred degrees in length ! Its
tail came streaming up in the morning several
hours before its head, and when its nucleus was in
the zenith the train stretched below the Western
horizon. Its train was first very broad, but it de
creased in width-extending enormously in length.
It is said to have disappeared October 3d, on the
day of the death of Pope Urban IV. It was, ot
course, thought a special forerunner of that event.
This Comet had appeared before in 975, and also
in 395 and 104, as mentioned by Chinese annalists.
This would give it a period of about 292 years. In
975 its tail was 40 degrees iu length, aud its nucleus
or head was so bright as to be visible in the day
time. Its next appearance, after 1264, was iu 1556,
in the month of February. Its aspect was very
similar to its present one.'being “somewhat paler
than the planet Mars, and with a train of four de
grees in length.” It has been known as “the great
comet ot Charles V.” because it appeared in the
year in which his abdication took place The Em
peror(Charlea V. of Spain) considered it an omen
o his death, although he survived it some years
Fabrioius, his astronomer, mapped out its path, de
si ribing its course “through Virgo and Bootes, past
the pole of the heavens into Cepheus and Cassio
peia “ What rendered this comet particularly in
teresting was its near approaoh to the earth, being
o i the 12th of March only seven millions of miles
distant. The orbit of the comet of 1264 was comou-
ted by Pingre and Dnnthome, while that of 1556
w as computed by Hally, and afterwards bv Hind,
of the Southville Oosarvstory, Regent's Park, Eng
land. It w;is found that the two orbits agreed, and
Pingre concluded that they were the same, aDd t at
it would return again iu 1848, It was accordingly
expected at that time, and ite noil appearance stim
ulated some to a re examination of the previous
calculations Mr. Barber found that the a'tractiou
of the outer planers, Jupiter, Saturn ond Uerscheli,
had retarded it. Mr. Hind predicted its appearance
iu 1858, after making allowance for tiie dietarbeu
e-s. The excitement and orude speculation rela
tive its anticipated near approach to the earth last
year ia still iu everybody’s memory. There is uo
neoeasity of repeating that were a comet to strike
the earth it could not penetrate the earth's atmos
phere, on aeoouut of the superior density of the lat
ter. But the inclination of the comet to the earth’s
orbit being so great, (36 degrees,) there could
s.-arcely be a possibility of a “brush” from its tail at
any time. It ia interesting to consider this object
in light of a traveler, like Von Homboldt. A jour
ney of two hundred and ninety-two years is uo
am ‘.ll “tramp.”
In 975 it saw tho earth in the midst of the dark
ages. Basil aud Constantine VIII reigned over
the Eastern Empire. Iu England, the horrid mur
der of Edward, the martyr, by his step mother, El
Irida, had just been consummated. Iho Norwegi
ans were making discoveries in Gfreeuiaud, aud
soon after descended upon this continent.
In 1264, on its next visit, it witnessed tbe first
regular parliament in England, aud the success of
the Pope iu his struggle for temporal power over
I aly. The crusades had begun to tell in their ef
foot upon the culture of the uge.
In 1 556 it found America discovered aud greedy
Spaniards rioting iu wealth and blood at the anoient
capital of the Aztecs and in the Peruvian cities.—
Queen Elizabeth had just been established in Eng
land. and Moutaigne, Soaiiger, Jerome Cardau
Tasso, Dami ens, Cervantes, Phillip Sidney, were
ali in the flower of their vigor, qmi the world’egreat
eat genius, Shakspeure, was just learning to walk
In 1848 its vißit inay very reasonably iie suppose 1
to have been postponed iu order to witness tiie com
pietion of the Atlantic cable soheme. Viewed in
this light, we may consider it a special indication of
good will on the part of that illustrious luminary.
The best catalogue of cornels known is that of
Matuan-lln, a Chinese Astronomer, whos • collec
tion extends from 613 years before Christ to A. D
1614, over two thousand years There have been
recorded about seven hundred in all, of which the
orbits of about ons hundred and eiglily have
teen calculated by astronomers Tho periodic
revolutions vary from three years to several thou
sand years. Some approach in th. ir Perit elion so
near to the sun ass. >be heated to a white heat, as
some suppose.
Although the number of comets is so large there
are comparatively few which appear to the naked
eye ; only about fourteen in a century. But to the
telescope, hardly a year passes witiiout the obser
vation of one or more, in 1840 four were seen, in
1848 there were eight.
Si. Isaac Newton first calculated tbe orbit of a
comet and demonstrated that they moved in elipti
cal paths. Beiore that time it.was generally sup
posed that they moved in parabolas and never re
turned to the solar system after leaving it.
The name “comet” is derived trom a (ir. ek word
(koine) meaning hair , and it was supposed that,
they “shook war and peßtilence from their horrid
hair.”— St. Louis Repub.

parition, and therefore does not set to us. In the

The first of these comets only is visible to the na
keri eye, and can bo distinctly seen from seven to
eight o'clock in the evening, and between 4 and 5
iu the morning. It is growing brighter aud m ire
imposing each succeeding day. This comet is ra
pidly approaching the Earth, and is cow supposed
to be one hundred aud forty millions ..i nitlee dis
tant,. As it rises higher above the horizon, how
ever, every successive evening, we shad soon have
clearer aud more prolonged views us ti e illustrious
stranger.
Thu brighto-t of the three comets io supposed by
Dr. Gould to be identical with tiie comet of 1764
and the first of the three comets Heen in 1827, and
to have a period of about thirty one years. This
conjecture is grounded oa a supposed identity of
the elements of motion. Tbe motion of the comet
of 1764, as we are told, was direct, while that of
1827 was retrograde.
Astronomers differ in their opinions as to what
precise comet this really is.
The second comet is telescopic, and will not be
visible to the naked eye The third also inviQue,
except through artificial aid, is cometled to be
the great expected comet of aafl 1556. All
astronomer* agree in iU splendor. Its tail
is said to be m i-” ;jua 100 deg in length, or one

English and American Railroads - T#o edi
tor of the American Railroad Journal* who is now
abroad, iu correspondence w*o his journal makes
s .me interesting comparisons between the railroads
of England u*la this country. Much that ie peou
lie,. *o the railways of England and the United
States grows, chiefly, out of some difference be
tween the two countries. The tong pa senger car
in use in the United States is rendered necessary
by its climate, no mode of warmhpg tbe
English /#*,';t.ge: car. Tbe latter, first etas-*, car
is m re comfortable than the American first class,
but to ride in it one must p*y twice the average
charge m the United agates. Tiie fare in ; -oeoud
class cars it; Ri gland equals just about three cents
perm;,,-. In these card you have hetbing warmer
or softer than painted wood work In fact, there
is nothing but boxes, with seats on two sices
Tbe third cioe? oa.s are still more uncomfortable,
so as to horiespond in grade and aspect to the low.
os t class of travelers ; tbe average rate of fare in
these is very nearly ecaai to the first class ire on
3ome ol the be*t roads in Ameri a. J n addition to
a high rato of fare, baggage ia sbtupry looked after,
i’or two fair-sized trunke, the traveler between
Liverpool and London has to pay $2.50 extra bag
gage.
Travel'.*#? in England is at best twice as expensive
as in America. One excellence of Foolish railroads iB
what is termed the fishing of the rails. In the Uni
ted States one great ca'ase of deterioration of way,
and of annoyance lo travellers, is the broken joint.
No tws lans ever being upon the same level, the
head ot each one receives a violent blow from the
wheels, which soon abrade and destroy it. None of
this concussion, with the peculiar noise caused
thereby, is tell on English roads. Consequently,
the rails upon them last much longer than upon
American roads. While upon the latter care is ta
ken to give the joint a firm bearing, upon English
roads tbe end ot the rail is entirely unsupported ex
cept by the fishing bars—the ballacting not being
allowed to touch this portion of the rail. It is how
ever very doubtful wnetber the extreme eeverity of
climate iu the United States would permit tbe con
struction of railways in the Northern States in a
similar manner. With four feet of frost in the
ground, it would be a very difficult thing to keep
the track in place Id the winter season. In the
Soul hern States where this objection does not exist,
all the roads should make use ot the fishing bars. —
The whole exteDt of the Mobile and Ohio railroad is
laid with them.— Balt. Amer.
A Npw Dodge.—A Yankee iu Kansas, occupy
ing au old wagon by the road side, was discovered
apihort time since scouring an old gau barrel. On
faeing asked what be intended to do with it, be re
plieu that he was fixing up to go into the liquor
business, and to avoid the law was going to make
use of this tube instead of glasses, thereby making
it appear that he was selling liquor try the barrel.
The fellow is doing a thriving business. A great
many persona have been “shot in the ueok by the

A Frightful Accident at the Ohio ?rtHte Fair *
A 1 rightful accident occurred at the State Fair
ground, in Sandusky, An excited horse
on exhibition, in a contest for the prizes, broke
through the barriers of the arena, dashed in among
the people, injuring live persons, two so badly that
they died s :oo after the accident. The following are
the details:
The areas, a ring tor tue exhibition ot animals at
the State Kan', is enclosed by a post and board rail
iug a single buard running all the way round the
oiivle. Facing the Judge's stand is an extensive
step platform for ladies, the platform ascending
gradually until it reaches a height of some thirty feet.
Beneath this platform were arranged one or two
booths, and a uumber of seats for visitors. This spot
was a pleasant retreat from the sun, and was con
stantly crowded with fatigued Visitors. It was there
the damage was don,
About - o'clock four celebrated roadsters were
brought into tne ring in competition for the prizes.
Ii was evidently to be a close contest between them,
and tiiey attracted great attention. The entire cir
ole was surrounded by spectators, who manifested
the greatest interest in the movements of the horses.
While running at full trot.one of the horses became
unmanageable, aud dashing off at his fullest speed,
name near upsetting his driver aud created quite a
ooaaternation amoug tire spectators Me was finally
stopped, however, and the Marshal of the ring ob
serving that tiro animals as wall as their drivers
were becoming much excited, determined to put an
end to the race. He had just given orders to that
iffcot, when the hub of one of the vehicles acci-
dentally rskea the wheel of ano her, aud iu an in
sta.it split aud tore from it every felloe.
The horse attached to the broken sulky, a spirited
animal, which had already become the favorite ot
the spectators, was t.ien going at a rapid rate, but
with the crash, which upset the vehicle to wldoh he
was attached, and threw out his driver, he bounded
off’ at a fearful spaed Ho dragged after him the
ot i -wheeled sulky, which filled the air with dust.
As ho ran fearfully around the circle, the mass ot
people rushed away from the enclosure, though
they were oalled upon to aland still and keep the
hots ) withiu the ring.
The excited horse suddenly left the trank, and
rimuiug over the-ward, aimed directly lor the up
p- r end of the ladies’ platform. The crowd thatoo
otipied tt ii spot attempted to get out of hi a way,
aid a rush was m-do iu every direction, ami a
number of persons fell or wets thrown down. The
her o—still dragging the vehicle—hurried on dash
ing ‘igaiou’ the enclosure, br ke down lie barrier,
i-.tt pursued his coiirne. Turning suddenly to the
leit, he b utuied iu under the Indite platform, where
a t imber of men, women and children, totally ig
it ,w; i f‘he cause of confusion, wete sitting As
hf sprung among them he fell, aud his progress was
stooped. The scene at 1 lie pci ot at that time was
ft l ini —men. women, aud children flying in every
and r. i ion, and the latter screaming with alarm.
i uose who preserved their presence of mind
listened to secure the horse, which was done aua
somewhat injured, he was conducted to his stable.
S ivt-ral injured persons were picked up. Au old
gentleman named M Hack, for some lime mUicted
wito the palsy, was takeu up fatally injured. Ha
was carried into the ladies’ saloon, and received
p ompt medical assistance. The horse's tore feel
Old struck him on the torch ad and m the breast,
lie died, we uuderstand, in one hour and a half after
the accident. A lady, residing in the country was
sitting holding her little girl by tba hands. The
horse fell upon them, and, in rising again, kicked
ti e child in the back. The mother also was carried
to tiie ladies’ saloon, and her injuries pronounced
n>t dangerous. She Buttered very much.
The child war carried into the manufacturers
h'di and received every attention. It w.is aDout
seven years of n/,i\ She was removed with iier
nmther to the city, and died, it was rumored, last
n ffht. A young lady, whose name we could not
Is urn, also received some injuries, but after reoov
e, u'g from her fright was able to walk to a oarri ge
aid ride home, tjuito a number of others were
h'.'.r; in the rush, but only slightly. The driver of
the animal, w o was thrown out in the ring, was
c Uisiderably bruised, but escaped, and miiaculous-
Iv too, with whole bones. At Ihe time of this oc
curence crowds of people were all over the lair
f: rounds. It ia considered sot lunate that the horse,
s ■ soon after leaviug the arena. Cashed into a spot

Journalism.— ln some respects the, Ne jr York,

aru unaorpaseeu ; but one fault is cjiueion to the
lui.at iireteuticus of them. They hav„ the h .bit of
drawing the news out to the extreme t length the
reporters seeming to rival each ■eiher in the attempt
to cover a given tact with the greatest number of
words. Events that would he readable in a tew

pa: i <on, which is a naive illustration cf tbe prooeea
of hitting two birds with one stone :
“ Tbe Chinese government, as at present admin
isUrod, seems in some respects remarkably like
ou:s. The first great theory is, that iu theory it is
perfect, and in practice Works remarkably badly.
Secoudly, it is a mere machme for collecting taxes,
and enriching those who can put themselves into
office by bribery and other means. Thirdly, the
officials have no power, exce, t when supported by
public opinion ; and, fourthly, the government has
lost the respect ol the people, who, in case of diffi
culty, consider a government official the last person
to i, to for advice or redress.”
