How Comets Have Been Regard-
ed in All Ages. !
Superstitions persons who look upon
th appearance of comet aft an ill omen,
should take comfort from the following
t-xtract :
"Comets have always been considered
bv the ignorant and superstitious as the
harbingers of war, pestilence and famine,
Nor has this opinion been, eveu in thi
daj, confined to the unlearned. It was
once universal. And when we examine 1
tlie dimensions and appearances of some
of these bodies, we eease to wonder that
they produced universal alarm.
"Acording to the testimony of the ear-
ly writers, a comet which could be seen
in daylight with the naked eye, made its
appearance 43 years before the birth of
oijr Saviour. This date was just after
the death of Caesar, and by the Romans
the comet was believed to be his meta
morphosed soul, armed with fire and veu
gence. This comet is again mentioned
as appearing iu 1100, and then resemb
ling the Sun in brightness, being' of a
great size, and having an immense tail.
"In the year 1402, a comet was seen so
brilliant as to be. discered at noon -day.

THE COMETS OF 1680 AKD 1811
A careful readins of this extract can
not fail to impress one with the vastness
and awful sublimity of God's uuiverse.
The author says :
"The comet ef 1680 was of the largest
sizo, and had a tail whose euormous
length was more than ninety-six millions
of miles.
"In that part of its orbit which is near
est the Sun, it flies with the amazing
swiftness of 1,000,000 miles au hour, and
the Sun, as seen from it appears 27,000
times larger than it appears to us ; con
sequently, it is then exposed to a heat
27,000 times greater than the solar heat
at the earth. This intensity of heat ex
ceeds, several thousand times, that of
red hot iron, aud indeed all the degrees
of heat that we are able to produce. A
simple mass of vapour, exposed to a
thousandth part of such a heat, woujd be
at once sdTsipated iu space a pretty
strong indication tha. however volatile
are the elemeuts of which comets are
composed, they are, nevertheless, capa
ble of euduiing au inconceivable intensi
ty of both heat and cold.
'This is Hie comet which, according to
the reveries of Dr. Winston and others,
deluded the world in -the time of Noah.

Newton : but anxious to Know more tflan

philosophy, and presumed not only to I
fix the residence of the damned, but also
the nature of their punishment. Accord
ing to his theory, a comet was the awful
prison-house iu which, as it wheeled from
the remotest reirions ot darkness and cold r
iutoihe very vicinity of the Sun, hurry
ing its wretched tenants to the extremes
of perishing cold and devouring fire, the
Almighty was to dispense the seventies
of his justice

1 "The chances against such an event,
however are so very numerous that there
is no reason to dread its occurences. The
French government, about 1835, called
the attention of some of her ablest math
ematicians and astonmners to the solu
tion of this problem : that is to determine
npou mathematical principles, how many
chances of collision the earth was expos-
ed to. After a mature examination, they
reported, "We have found that, of 281,-
000,000 of chances, there is one unfavora-
ble, there exists but which can produce
a collision between the two bodies.
"Admitting, then, for a moment, that
the comets which may strike the earth
with their nucleuses, would annihilate
the whole human race; the danger of death
to each individual, resulting from the ap-
pearance of an unknown comet, would be
exactly equal to the risk be would run, if
iu an urn there was only one single white
ball among a total number of 281 ,000,000
balls, and that his condemnatiou to death
would be the inevitable consequence of
the white ball being produced at the first
drawing."

was observed in 1772; and wasseen agaiu
in 1805. It was not until its reappear
, - I
ance iu 1826, that astrououiers were able
to determine the elemeuts of its orbit, and
the exact period of its revolution. This
was successfully accomplished by M. Bi
ela of Josephstadt: hence it is called JJi
eUCs Comet. According to observations
made upon it in 1805. bv the celebrated
. .. - H
Ur. Uluers, its diameter, including its en
velope, is 42,280 miles. It is a curious
fact, that the path of Biela's comet passes
very near to that of the earth ; so near,
that at the moment the centre of the com
et is at the point nearest to the earth's
path, the matter of the comet extends be
yond that path, and includes a portion
within it. Thus, if the earth were at that
poiut of its orbit which is nearest to the
path of the comet, at the sama moment
that the comet should be at that point of
its orbit, which is nearest to the path of
the earth, 'the earth would be enveloped
iu the nebulous atmosphere of the comet
''With respect to the effect which might
be produced upon our atmosphere by sucli
a circumstance, it is impossible to offer
anything but the most vague conjecture
Sir John Herschel was able to distinguish
stars as minute as the IGth and 17lh mag
uitude through the body of the comet!
Hence it seems reasonable to infer, that
the nebulous matter of which it is com
posed, must be infinitely more attenuated

The pay of Federal Judges.
Judge McCrary has resigned his
t- t r
position as a United otates circuit
judge to become counsel of a railroad
corporation at a ruueh higher salary
than he received from the govern
ment. His predecessor, Judge Dillon,
did the same thing. This has moved
several of our contemporaries to say
that the United States will have to
niiv hitrhcr balaries to keeo its best
judges from going into the employ of
corporations. N. Y. Herald.
The foregoing has its meaning. It
is full of suggestions to the toiling
millions of this couutry. The day
was in this republic when such con-
duct of a judge would have been
stamped as disreputable. But the
times have changed. Money is now
the pointed factor ruling the decis
ions of men. There was a day when
it was considered honorable to be an
officer of the goverment regardless of
a salary beyond the requirements of
a patriotic aud economic mode of
living, a day when it was ever co: -sidered
honorable to be a judge of
the courts. The
time, however, is
upon us when that ho r is thrown in
the balance against salary, and is
found wanting.
The sacrificiner of judgeships for
M;iarl rnn nsr Ish i ts has become
i i - r
quite common, the sole reason being
thp hio-her salaries Daid by the rail-
road corporations. In view of this

fact some ot our contemporaries are
nlnmarinir for hieher pay for the
iudes. They seem to favor eouipe-
tition with the corporations, -being
forgetful of the fact that the sarue
imnlasi which drives the latter into
uavinv higher salaries, would still

The extreme cold weather in the
North and West, during the present

sands of people Southward, aud at
the present timeweseeit stated in the
New Orleans papers, large numbers
of Western people are on prospecting
tours in the lower Mississippi valley
where ana c"eap lands and raiiu
climate invite settlement. All the in-
dications lead to the conviction that
the next few years will see a large

Kgenc and industry, who will make
good citizens when they come and do

kind of immigration we need, and this
kind we welcome, and it is of this
class as we unci erst and it these Boston

A Snow-Capped Planet.
A Coming Notable Celestial Event.
New York Sun.
Perhaps the most notable celestial
event of the year will be the opposi-
tion of Mars at the end of the present
moulh. There is so much about this
j remarkable planet that suggests a
close resemblance to the earth; and ao

battery of telescopes is turned upon it
with eager expectation of interesting
views if not important discoveries.
At opposition Mars appears with small

distant world comes into view, until
it hangs in the field of the telescope
- a real globe, marked plainly with con

The first physical features of Mars
that come into view are the snow caps
surrounding his poles. The southern
pole is now incline toward the earth,
and a small telescope, say o "three

circular, gleaming patch of snow that
covers the antarctic region of the globe

the snow field, and sometimes called
Phillip's Sea, is almost equally dis

that are believed to be seas, can be
seen with the same telescope. With

Another interesting thing about
Mars which can now be studied is the
mysterious net-work of so-called ca

the equatorial regious. The idea that
these are really canals constructed by
inhabitants of the ruddy planet can
hardly be entertained, when it is
known that they are sixty miles or
more in width.
One thing seems to be pretty cer
