A C.lntslly Chateau.
Travelers In Switzerland who have
explored the Hal alluvial delta ot toe
valley of tho Rhode may icmember a
line old house about tliieo miles from
Villeiieuve, called the Chateau du Gran
de Clus. Ot a solid squaiu fuim, with
uigii pedKeit looi, lottj oiliuueys, spa
ciuus hall und perron, and pretty old
lushioiietl garden, with cypresses nud
fountain, it seems to have beeu trans
planted out ut Nuithcru Franco In the
lust century to this icgiuti of ugly little
stone liuu-es or mountain wood cd chalets.
Its story Is curious. It was built und
for a long time iuhauited by the self-
stvli'd "Due do Nnrniandle," ono ot
those niniieroiis claiuants to tin the r-al
Louis XVI 1 1., of whom, it seotns, we
lire neyei to hear the last. Tho "due,"
at all events, tonic great pains to Inform
himself of nil the pirtlcnlara which,
(supposing him to have been the lll-lu-tetl
prince) lie ml lit Im epicted to
know. His Library which recen lv re
mained in i'i.. chateau, am Is probibly
still to tin seen there, consisted nf books,
pimphlets, nml pipers ot all kinds,
many hundreds lu numbers, hut all,
Willi one exception, connected with tlio
story or tin French Revnlullon. It Is
necAs-ary to mid libit the qtialt old
chattMit possesses Its ghost story? An
English f.tinlljvit is solemnly stated by
tlie neighbors, were twenty years ago
tenants of the house. Tney wc,nt to
sleep as usual ono night, but nett morn
ing tlie placo which had known them
knew them no more. They had disap
peared utterly from the faco of tho
earth, and truin that hour dismal clank

night through the echoing rooms. Un
happily the narrative Just stops short at
thultitercstlng point. Had the lost fami
ly paid their bills?
Tho New Comet.
This new cloud of costnical dust Is to
become in n few wciks one of the most
splendid meteors ever witnessed. It was
lirst discovered on April 17, 1874, by
M. Coggin, at Marseilles, small, but
having an inten-e nuclear condensation.
Its polar distance was about 20 degrees
15 minutes and 23 seconds, and It was
moving slowly towards the southwest.
It was lirst visible in the. eat ly morning,
but is now also visible In the evening.
It has been increasing in btiglitnes",
and by a sharp and somewhat practised
eye, can bo seen in tlie constellation
Cam -leopard In right ascension about
seven hours and declination about 70
degrees north. It Is now receding from
tliu yin ami Is diminishing In actual
size nml brightness, hut as it is np
proacliing nearer to us Its brilliancy is
apparently augmented.
Tills luminous meteor, which is nam
ed Comet II. of 1874, Is wholly outside
of the earth's orbit, but, as It moves on
Its tlery Hack, will on the 3rd of Au
gust attain Its maximum beauty mid
brightness fur us. When lirst desciibed
by .M. Cojgi.iits brightness wasonly ono
in tho seal- now it is seven; but nfter
tlie 1st ot July It will reach u much
higher degiee of luminosity, and on tho
3rd of August will have a nrlghtness of
243. These tlgures will afford the
reader an Idtaur what mi astronomic
