Boston Manufacturers' Gazette. The fame of Boston baked beans has j spread far and wide ; but it was not until witnin a tew years mas tne worm at large had an opportunity to judge for itself regarding the merits of the article. Since baked beans have re I ceired the attention of canners, Bos ton's favorite dish has acquired a fresh Eopulanty. The suggestion tnat oaKea eans could be canned to advantage came from a Colorado dealer in that line of gqpds, who, in conversation with a canned gooa3 manuiacturer in mis city, in the spring 01 1877, nazaraea tne opinion that this food product would meet with readv sale in the West. The manufacturer was favorably impressed with the idea, and an order for twenty cases was placed then and there. It matters not that circumstances pre vented Colorado from becoming the first bean eatme State outside or JNew England ; the credit for the suggestion still belongs to tne "i ar vvesi. xne Boston firm, above referred to, sent sample packages of canned goods to Messrs. H. K. & F. B. Thurber of New York, who pronounced them "just the v5" riiinomi lar trwVt fcinrllv tfk thing." Chicago also took Kindly to the new food product, and the business soon'grew to large proportions. Al though there are several concerns in this city engaged iu canning baked beans, one firm practically monopolizes the business; and in making a state ment of their operations, the rapid growth of the industry is well indicated. In 1877, the first year they began the business, the sales of canned baked beans were confined aimosc exclusively to the Eastern States, and about 200,000 cans were marketed. In 1879, the trade had extended all over the country, and some 375,000 cans were disposed of. In 1880, Europe and Australia had become purchasers and the sales amounted to 900,000 cans; while the present year the firm proposes to pack and ship away 1,500,000 cans. South Ameiica is just taking hold of the article, and the de mand from tins source wui sweii mia year's trade very considerably. After repeated experiment it is believed that the height of perfection has been reach ed, and that canned baked beans are identical with the dish which for so manv vears has been one of Bostons institutions. They are baked in steam retorts, and are so prepared as to make th quality uniform. Packed in three pound cans, containing two and three quarters pounds of beans and one quarter of a pound of pork, they may be shipped to anv part of the globe. Their introduction into Europe and Australia was accomplished under the name of "Beans and Bacon," the home lv title "Pork and Beans" not being at- tractive to tne iasumuus luieiguci. When it is remembered that in the cen tennial year canned baked beans were an unheard of luxury, the fact that the world will probably consume at least 4,500,000 pounds of the product this year may be accepted as a proof that there is "something new under the sun." Ita Location ana Sow to rind It. St. Louis Bepnhllcan. The new comet is now visible to the naked eye and may , be seen any,even inc whm the skv is clear, with low. clear horizon, from 8 to half-past 9 o clock.. It is to oe tyoiteu iorinme same regions of the heftvens as that in which its predecessor of June exhibited itself in the northwest. At 9 o'clock in the evening its position will be a lit tle north of northwest, about fifteen de grees of one hour above the horizon and a little more than the same distance below and to the right of Merak, the star which forms the lower northern corner of the bowl of the Dipper. By looking carefully at this point the ob server will see two tolerably bright stars close together, with no other one very near them. The one to the right, being the lower and more northern one, is the very body he is in search;of the comet Its head is. easily; enough dis tinguished, being as bright as one of the minor stars in the dipper. J$nt it wilr take close anacareiui Dservauon to bring into view the dim and tenuous tail of the new visitant. Good eyes will see it without much difficulty, but others will require the aid of an opera glass and then resort must be had to tho trick of astronomers, of fixing the vision a little to one side, or above the object, rather than directly on it. By nhaprvincr these rules it will be seen that from the right hand star of the pair below and to tne nortn oi iue oowi rst thfl Dinner screads a filmy append- non whmh marks it as the comet The tail is upward and to the right. By ex- ammg tne uipper it win uoomuuidi; the two stars in the handle nearest the bow and the two stars forming the up per left hand torner and the lower right hand corner are in the same right hand line. Prolong this line downward and to the right, and it will pass through the comet as it appeared last Tuesday night. Like the comet of June, in revolving around the North Star.it dips slightly below the northern hori zont to reappear to the north-northeast, and it. mav hn found aeain in that quar ter about 4 o'clock in the morning if the light of the gibbous new moon, now in ita last ouarter. is not so bril liant as to quencb it. In a few days the moon will be out of sight at 4 o'clock in the morning, and then the comet will be seen to better advantage, and also what is a more glorious sight than the comet itself the eastern sky glowing With the splendor of four planets Ve nus, Jupitur, Mars and Saturn; the brilliant first magnitude stars, Capella, Aldebaran, Castor and Pollux, with the Pleiades shining faintly near the horizon, and the majestic Orion well above the horizon, still pursuing the retreating bull, with no hope of ever overtaking him. The astronomical de scription of the new comet gives it a head 11.750 miles in diameter, a tail 2,000,000 miles in length, and its dis tance from the sun 97,000,000 miles. It will continue to grow brighter foT sev eral davs.but will never appear as bril liant as the comet of June. We are now selling best brands et LAWKS atlOe XTIee lot of those 6Ue LAWNS on band.

It appears that the new representative of ; the family of undivided-hoofed mammals is in some respects intermediate be-! tween the domestic horse and the wild ; ass, but it differs from the asinine ge nua in havinK four callosities, one on each leg. In the form of skull, ab sence of dorsal stripe and other partic ulars it resembles the domestic horse. The newly recorded animal is indige nous to the plains and deserts of Cen tral Asia, and has not hitherto fallen under the dominion of man. ATTENTION, BAILBOAD MEN.
