through Charlotte and that through

said the conference with Inspector

nothing to do with Washington. No

How a Previous Comet Wu Kecelv
In view of the reigning uncertain
ty as to the comet of 1881 it mav be
if i a t r i .
umeiy to reproauce irom tne uroana
(111.) Constitution of May, 1,857;
the following interesting but irreverent
speculations touching the comet which
was expected to strike the earth' 6n
June IS of that year: i
Zimmerman, after observing "the
critter" carefully with the instruments
of the Urbana brass band, comes to the
conclusion :
"1. That the comet will not strike
the earth ; but
"2. That if it does strike, it will nev

"1. W e will wager $20,000, more or
less, that if the comet offers to strike
we will dodge it before it does it;, in
other words, that it can't be brought o

M2. A like sum that, if it does strike,
it will he knocked Mghednor nor a

"3. Twenty-five times the above
amount? that, in case the comet strikes
it won't budge the earth six inches by
actual measurement
"4. A like amount that after the com

"5. An optional sum that the earth
can knock tne comet further than the
comet can knock the earth, nine times
out of eleven.
