Tho principal points the new bankrupt bill, which nt last advices only required tlie 1 'resident'." signature to become a law. are ns followers: Forty days are allowed to elapse before a merchant or trader who fail to pay his commercial paper is liable to lie thrown into bankruptcy. The as sent of one-fourth in number aud one-third in value of tlio creditors is r. quirt'd to throw a debtor into bankruptcy. This provision relates back to tho first of De cember. Proceedings my bo discontinued whenever tho debtor pays those secured debts which wore tho ground . f throwing him into bankruptcy, or whenevr the con sent of the court lx> obtained and a ma jority of the creditors sliall ask for a dis continuance of the proceedings. In order to set aside hypothecated pledges or loans on tho bankrupt's estate it must appear that the party dealing with tho bankrupt know that ho intended to perpetrate a fraud on the bankrupt law, and that ho in tended to go into bankruptcy. When a lean is made to a bankrupt in good faith and security taken with intention of aiding him to pull through, it shall ho consider as having actual value and tho security shall not be invalidated by proceedings iu hauk ruptcy. A voluntary bankrupt may have hi* discharge if his estate pays thirty per cent, of his debts, or provided ho obtains the consent of tho same number of his creditors as is necessary to throw him in to bankruptcy. An involuntary bank rupt can got his discharge if his conduct is free from all fraud, and he is iuuoccnt ot any violation or infringuicnt of the bankrupt act Assignees are prohibited from dividing fees with other persons en gaged in the case. Composition by-cred itors may be made with ihe assent of the debtor, providing a majority of tho cred itors join, where approved by tho court, for r, lease and discharge of the debtor. The fees and expenses are reduced ono half until {Judges of tho .Supreme Court I shall establish a permanent reduction and simplify tho proceedings. All the acts of the poisons connected w ith the execution of tho law sliall be made public in the shapo of full aud minute reports from the clerk, assignee, the marshal, and the reg ister. Original jurisdiction is conferred upon the Territorial courts, with an appeal to the Hu promo Court of the Territory.— s,r (••! t *[/. IN* w Haven Utter to N. V. Jit 1 iM. J WHAT VALE EROEEESOIIE ,S',l H CONCERNING TIIE COMEt Considering the great interest felt nt the prone tit time in everything pertaining to | the comet, your correspondent called yes terday on lnofi -bor New ton and Professor \ Ijynmn, of Yak* College, to get their views im vientist*. The comet has been the subject of much s[*cculation forscveral week* jiust among the college professors, find the professors aliove 111*1111x1 give their views iu uticciiMt form in the following stateruente: PEOFBRWJB KBWION’h VIEW*. This comet, ho far as he can judge, is going to travel directly south, away from j the North star. Xt will grow iu brightness ! for some ten daya After that the nucleus ' will go so near the sun' as probably to be ' invisible in tho strong twilight. Xt will j pas* almost directly between us an.l the 1 sun, about tho lflili or 20th of July. At j that lime the tail, if king enough, may stretch out across our heaven*, though if short or too diffuse it way not boat al! visible. Xt is fairly within the [>Ofisibilities that the earth will strike through the tail, but the result would Is.- totally inapprecia ble either in the fight or in any effect on our weather. After passing the sun the comet can be seen Xiy persons only in the Southern hemisphere. It will be nearest to 11s about tho 21st of July, being then 2C,000,000 of mile* from us. This motion and tlioac distances are obtained from com putations made by Dr. Tietjtn, of Berlin. It ia possible that the olwervutions which Dr. Tietjcn was able lo use were not sufli eient to give an exact mbit. The comet 1 was then coming almost directly toward ! us, and very slight error* iu tho observe | lions which he used would make large ! differences in the computed path of the : comet when it turns from coming toward n;; to go round tho sun. The comet last night (Wednesday) was more brilliant than heretofore, because of tho absence of moonlight. If, has a bright, star-like nu cleus, I,>ukig like a star through a speck of fog. Tho comet’s lieod extends two minute* toward the sun. the tail aud head shading into each other insensibly. For a week at least the comet will lie growing in brilliancy if we have clear weather. PROP. I.TWAN'S STATEMENT. Cogga's comet bab lieen for a month past 1 coming. For two weeks past it has been I visible to the naked eve. Now it has so | increased iu brilliancy that it is v isible iu [ moonlight. It is going for ten or fifteen : days to ineris'so in brilliancy. Its np[KU ent path But is toward the sun that is, it strikes i Jhietwecn us and the sun. The probnbflitjPs that the tail will l*e quite t, j conspien' A object. Much depends, how ever, on In" amount of matter in the i comet oi to tho extant of the tail. The nucleus of the comet will, probably, be so near the sun (X can not speak exactly without looking nt references) that the lead will be invisible this is, Mint it will disappear la taw the northwestern hori zon ns it in going so near the sun. The nearest it will approach the earth will leave it about the same distance from ns ns Ve nus when at inferior conjunction. After it disappears from the northern hemis phere it will be visible in ihe southern hemisphere, its motion being directly south from the I Vie star. As to tlie ta.il reaching us, it is more than probable that we shall not perceive the visitor, although, of course, no one can at the present time say wh< tlier the sweep oi tbo tail sliall touch the earth or not. Even if the tail j did touch flic earth, the touch would like- , ly he r> diffuse s < to lie scarcely percepti- ! hie. 'Jim shooting-liars ale associated with coroeta*, and are probably the debris ; of comets, aa was eKpecially illustrated : with Bela’s comet and tiie meteoric shower of November 27, 1872. Those | showers were simply portions of Bela’s comet. Professor Wright, or our college, 1 has started an idea that the nut,-or* are flaked off from the comet hy tho sun, pretty much as if a lump of coal wore thrown into a furnace and pieces snapped j off. The study of this comet will Ire iikely to throw a good deal ot light upon tlie i theory of the constitution of comets, just i as Doiiati’s comet in 1858 did much to ward attracting tiie attention of the world to the subject then and since. b ESC ERA TE EIGHT FOR LIFE. A scene, such as lias prehaps never be fore been recorded in the annals of crimi nal jin tiee, took place 011 the 12th of June, at tho eastern railway depot of Stettin, in Pomerania. A Prussian gendarme was es corting a female prisoner, n petite blonde of about thirty, whose face expressed the most profound grief. The bystander* looked svmpntki/.iugly nt lu r, until they ■ heard that she was tho convicted mur deress, Frederica liothmann, of Trietwees who, four months ago, had killed her husband, iu order to marry her pamaout. and who was on her way to Naugaid, tlie the place designated for her execution. Just as the gendarme told her to cut* r tho car, she broke away from him, and, with the.speed of despair, ran out of the depot. The gendarme, followed hy a large crowd of men, .started in pursuit.nml, after a race of a few minutes,overtook|her near an Open woodshed, lie seized her arm, but with a powerful Wow she knocked him down, seized his revolver and sword, and ran into the woodshed. The gendarme was immediately after her again, lint she I threatened to shoot him, and then lie | called upon tho men who had followed him, to assist him iu securing her. But! the woman loudly shouted to them not to 1 come near her or she would tiro on thorn. Tho wild expression of her eyes plainly i indicated that she was in dead earnest, ; and so they kept at a respectful distance, j Finally the gendarme sent for the military | guard at the depot,, and when the four j hclmeted grenadiers had arrived, a joint attack was made upon tho escaped mur deress. Khe fought desperately, blit the revolver was wrested from her baud, she crying all the while in a shrill voice, “Kill me right away, you blood-lit unds! Kill mo now! I want to die now!” Finally a blow with the butt-end of a musk# knocked: her senseless. She was then Bound w ith j a strong rope, and carried back to tlie de-; [iot. The police had meanwhile been in formed of tho extraordinary occurrence; j tho gendarme who had allowed her to ca nape, and who had not had tho courage to re-arrest her single-handed, was placed under arrest, and tlio woman, who began to rave wildly as soon as she had re-awoke ta nseiousnoss, was conveyed to the city jail. Hhe was followed by a mob of men and boya yelling, "Kill her! Outlier to pieces!” — Mr. John Smith, of Hickory Grove, York county, S. C., tolls ft remarilable story. Before the war he owned one blind- \ red ami twenty negroes, and lip to this ; day th ro negroes are living nnd working j with him, not ono having left after the j surrender. They express themselves as satisfied, and say tin y don’t want to live j any where else. This shite of things is ; creditable to the good sense of the negnx-.-*, j nnd shows that Mr. Smith is a kind and j good master. The newspapers are still publishing the Yew York Umpkic's paragraph headed ; “Nellie is Nobody in England.” It is not J at all strange that she is nobody in Eng- j land. A few years ago her father was no i body anywhere. \ . j sou TO Ell S ('<> El 3 PSE A Xj> s6 VTtl KUX HKllEMrttUfr. It Mr. William H.

The British addition policy in America—A pol icy that whs designed to abolish aud ruin our Democratic inntitut ions—hun transformed tho great tropical centre of the continent into a des olation so horrible, that, iu comparison, mere African savagery were almost a bhssing.

Tbo loss by lives resulting from tho care less use of gunpovdtj Hpprtiximiacs mill ions of dollars each venr, and we regret to way that the holiday just passed has proved no exo-ption to the rule. At Toledo, Ohio, about twenty-five thousand dollars’ worth of real estate w*os destroyed, the diminutive fire-eraeker taking the place of Mrs. O’Leary’s cow ns the primary cause. During the afternoon of tho Fourth a very destructive fire oo eurred in Alleghany City, Pennsylvania. A square nnd a half of buildings, princi pally dwellings, were totally destroyed. It was thought at erne time the whole upper part of the city would be destroyed, its the supply of water wjis limited and a very higli wind prevailed, carrying the sparks in all directions, and setting fire to houses two or three squares away; but with the united efforts of the Pittsburg and Alleghany City fire departments tho dame* were brought under control. Over one hundred houses in all were destroyed, leaving many families homeless. The loss cannot be estimated. The fire originated in a carpenter shop, it is supposed by fire crackers thrown in by boya. Cincinnati enjoyed six alarms daring the same day, all calling the engines bm burning roofs ignited by fire crackers care lessly handled. In the afternoon ft young ‘ girl was fatally burned, Iter clothing having been set on fire iu the Barne man ner. Wo have not space to give further details of the disastrous results of the freo use of dangerous toys iu all parts of tho country, but the above is sufficient to con vince us that until a stringent law is uni versally enforced against this senseless custom, that Uie roll of casualties will grow more extended each succeeding year.— Snr, Ail-Hup. DEN. LEE HY AN ENGLISHMAN. Col. Chas. C. Chesney, of the British army, concludes an essay on the military biography of Gen. Robert E. Lee, with the following eloquent tribute: The day will come when the evil pas sioDs of the groat civil strife will sleep in oblivion, and North and South do justice to each other’s motives jind forget each other’s wrongs. Then history will speak with clear voice of the deeds done on either side, and the citizens of the whole Union do justice to the memories of the dead, aud place above idl others the name of the great chief of whom we have just written. In strategy mighty, in battle terrible, in adversity as in prosperity a hero indeed, with the simple devotion to duty and the rare purity of the ideal Christian knight, he joined all the kingly qualities of a leader of men. It is a won drous future, indeed, that lies before America, but in her annals of years to come as in those of the past there will bo found few names that can rival in unsul lied lustre that of tlie heroic defender cf his native Virginia—Robert Edward Lee. A Vermont debating club is now strug gling with question, “AVhicb eats tho moosfc chickens—ministers or owls V’
