Professor Lgwis Swift, Ihe astronomer, at ltocb.esler? New York, yesterday morning djsoovered.another new comet bisscvtuUi, and the Grit of the present year. It Is in the constellation Andromeda, in right as cension 0 hours, 0 minutes, declination north, .37 degrees; is very bright, and moving ,in a southerly direction. It seem9 that Pro feasor Proctor asserted that tho discovery of another comet this year "would give seri ous grounds for apprehending the end of the world'but Professor Swift is of a different opinion. In his recent charge to the Grand Jury ,of Dauphin county, this Stalo Judge Pear son, in commenting on Speculative Insur ance, says! "1 am well satisfied that a largo portion of tho insurance eotnpanics aupirted for Ibe purpose of insuring lives are public nnu.inces and that those carry ing them on, those acting as agents, and those acting as Inspecting physicians for them ought to be indicated and convicted for a misdemeanor, nnd that they enter into a conspiracy in estabishlngsuch institutions and Iry conducting them in the manner they do.- o The physician whq. certifies' to a man btlng a good and juifHple subject,, n proper person to have his life Insured, knnws-perferlly well he is over ,.,(!$ years of ogo, feeble and miserable, and at the same timo hurdly experts to live a year, and yef they will insure him for twenty, thirty or forty thousand dollars on his life, nut In favor of his relatives, but in favor of some person or other who hires him to use his name to have tho insurance Ukan. They cannot recover a penny, on them If they only knew It, but at the same time they tire misleading many. The whole thing is a nuisance, de ceiving those who enter inta them. A man goes there lie imagines he can take insur ance on the life of a man whom he would not venture to trust with $25. lie takes en Insurance on his life for $5,000 nnd pays the insurance for a year or two and calls that a fail- business transaction. It is such transiction that could not be recoverable in any Court. The man is cheuling liiuiEull as well as the community. They will lead 1,0 great evil unless stopped, nnd the eilVct ml way to stop them is to indict tho Insur ance Companies, and to Indict those who act as their agents. Mr. P. W. Sheat'er, of Pottsville, writes as' follows respecting tho supply of coal of the United Stales and the mcthods'of mill Ing lif The coal resources of Great Britain are all developed now nnd in proeens of de. pletion, while in this country, when our 470 Square miles of anthracite tiro exhausted, we have more than 400 limes that area, or 200,000 square miles, of bituminous, from 'which to supply ourselves and the rest of mankind with fuel. The coal product of the world Is about 300,000,001) tons annually The North American continent could supply it nil for 240 years. With an annual pro ductlun of 60,000,000 It would require twelve centuries to exhaust the supply. But, with a uniform product of 100,000,000 Ions per annum, the end of the bituminous supply would be reached in 800 years. What the annual consumption will be when this con tinent supports a teeming population of 40ff)00,000 souls, as will bo the rase some day, mast be left to conjecture. But with half that population, as energetic, restless and 'nventive as our people in thisstimulat ng1 climate have always been, under the hopes ol success such a eountry as this con trantly holds out to tempt ambition and re ward entrpriserit is a very moderate esti' male, guided by the actual output already reached in Great Brillan, to suppose that there will be-ample use for 109,000,000 tons a year of bituminous coal for homeconsump tion alone. We have about 340 collieries and produce 20,000,000 tons per annum, or about 60,000 tons each. Great Britain has pearly 4000 collieries and mines 132,000,000 tius, of 33,000 tons per colliery. The greater the yield per colliery the lees the expense i 'milling. If we decrease the number of mines and Increase their capacity not only to raise the coal but to exhaust a constaut current of foul air and dangerous case: clouds of powder, smoke, and millious of gallons of water, we will reduce the cost ot mining. In a rseeut libel case at Philadelphia in Which two public officials were the com plainante, and the publisher of the lieeord the defendant, the presiding Judge iu his nharge ta the jury called attention to Hi fact that the old libel luw of this Btate l) beer radically changed by the Constitution 6T 1874. Under the Constitution of 1838, h said a libel could be answered only by proving the truth of the accusation. Now this Is not necessary. The publisher does not warrant the truth of what be publishes, lie can prove it to be true, or he can say that a reasonable degree of care was exer cised fn publishing it, and that there was no malice. The Judge's language contrasts so curiously with previous utterances from the Bench of this State that It is worth quoting i "The new Constitution evidently means mat wo uitd rracueu perioa in our civil lisuon anu intelligence when the peop: should know everything of men in nubl positions and publie capacity. This Con itutiou is a notice to ever'v nubile mat that the eyes of the community are scruti nliinc eyery publio ad, and it Is notice tha tbe nenipaer publisher has privileges nut previously conferred, ami it is his privilege to criticise adversely tbe acts of officials ami mm occupying publis cipactfv.

This article in the Constitu tion menus that tho printing press .shall be free." tsi.N of 'i-iiu Ti.vir.s. The following Is an extract from a very remarkable sermon recently preached by Rev. Win B. Cullis, o Piesbyterinn minis ter, of Philadelphia! "In ancient times, Said the pieanher, "great concern was felt at the appearance of any phenomena in tho heaveni, and they had a peculiar effect on the people, but with tho advanco of know! edge men haye learned so much of the per manency of the laws of nature that they are comparatively unnoticed. What for mqrly terrified men Is now explained by science and causes no alarm. Indeed, the danger now is that men will overlook the special workings of Providence. There nie grounds based on the teachings of Jesus Christ lur considering sucn events, anu i ill to call your attention to two important thiiiKS which uro about to happen, the ap proachlug perihelion of tho great placets Is the fir ft. Such an event has not taken ace since before the Christian era, and ill not happen eeaiu for 2000 years. Tho effect produced when a planet i in pcilhe lion is worthy of notice. Those who huye studied'the subject say when a planet is in perihelion there are times of great danger because of the action on tho sun by the op preach of tho planets to it. Many persons believe that from 1881 to 18S5 will be a most perilous tlmo to human beings a timo of great heat and cold, spread of lever, nods, drought, etc. Examples of this In US, 1826, 1843, 1857, etc , witness this, nd again at the time ol the great plague In London, ond from 1607 to 1620. Wo are told to expect great calamities and every vlng thing will bo put to the severest test, All this may bo taken as a premonition of the end of tbo world. Again : Astrono mers who wore engaged in observing the lust eclipse of the sun are of the opinion that It is undergoing great changes, which must materially effect the world if not de strnv it. The spots on the sun are greatly iminished in number and the sun's heat is decreased." Professor E. C. Pickering, of Harvard Col lege, was asked recently what he knew about tills alleged conjunction ol planets hich sundry people have thought or said they thought or thought they thought wus ing to be so disastrous. In unswer to the Augusta Age lie said : "No uneasiness Is felt among professional astronomers about e cll'cct on human n flairs of any conjunc tion of planets. There is no reason to sup pose that such conjunctions are attended by ny peculiar terrestrial phenomena. Theic we are ashamed to say, thousands of people in New England who have got into n awful 'statu of mind about this thing. Reasoning won't convince them ; evidence won t allect their opinions, but, perhaps. plain statement may prevent their swallowing any more nonsense presented to them by astrologers and clairvoyants and tho like." The Flluii liquor license bill, which re lates particularly to Allegheny oounly, was Wealed in Ihe Stale Iioufc of Representa tives some days ago. Tuesday It was re- considered, and during the debate on that question Mr. Moore, of Allegheny, an. op ponent of the bill, thought that there was considerable "bulldozing" going on, nnd be expressed himself to that cllect. Speaker Ilewit took Mr. Moore's reniiii ks as applied him personally, ond ordered the gentle man to his sent, at the same time telling him ho wus no gentleman. Moore dis claimed applying the offensive epithet to the Speaker, but tho latter continued lo apply his caustic remarks to Mr. Moore un til the latter was in his seat. This rather embittered tho gentleman from Allegheny, ami after the House had adjourned he and the Speaker Jiad some words on Ihe board walk leading to a gate of the Capitol Park. Moore then remarked that ho did mean the Speaker, and, crossing tho grass plot, an nounced that he proposed to get even with him. Hewitt, who is as clever with his fists with his tongue, announced that tin member from Allegheny could "settle it' whenever he chose nnd in whatever manner he preferred. The matter droppol there, but the affair was tho talk of the House luring tbe balance of the dav. Mile. Sarah Bernhardt,wlth her French ccmpany and Mr. Henry Jarrett, of Lon in. who menaced her personal afialrs in hor American tour, sailed from New York Wednesduy by the French steamer Ame rique for Havre. She gave her last per forniance on Tueaday evening, having given oUogelhcr 102 American perform' ances, which produced $470,278 gross re ccipis, while her personal share was $1 81, 430. Sho played in nineteen American Stales and also in Canada, travelling 18,812 miles Binco leaving France. This has been the most successful dramatic venture ever undertaken In this country. Mile.

Many persons visiting Washington now. ndays a re surprised when lold that the city contains n permanent population of about 100,000. They cannot explain tills rapid i Inerensa In 1RJ0 It had leu than 1 10.000 ' liiluibiiants-reu.cmbering that It is with-1 . , , ,, i out auumeice or trade, save that of n sniail retail kind. The explanation may be found, first, In the fact that Inoro than one-third of tho whole number Is colored more or less, s complexion varies there from the full- blooded negro to the octoroon.to every shade, Indeed, between black and while. Another (net Is that the army of government employ es who were wont to reside here and keep their families at home have brought their families to Waslilnglon einro the material Improvements In the town and ampler fa cilities for living. A third fact Is that many people of small incomes have made their abode here in consequence of reduced houio hold expenses. The federal capital used to be a city where evorvtlilne was dear mid everything was Iwiir) und to be compelled to pay u'high price for nil Inferior article is the reverse of'atrnctive for a place either of residence or 6ojoum. Within a few years this has been changed. Wnshingtou has grown to be both pleasant and reasonable ns respects outlay. The probability is that Washington will continue to become more and inoio a favorite placo for winter resi dence, lor the climate Is much milder than in your region, and the cost of living is lar less than in many of our larger cities. The political capital is, on the whole, very in viling to anybody having small means and a love of tranquility. Its population is cos mopolitan, and grows moro bo every year. Social life is one of itspccialities,aud when it has been made entirely healthy by the redemption of the Potomac flats it promises to be one of lbs most attractive social cen tres in the country. Judging from the notice that appear n the various daily and weekly newspapers or the city the leading feature, of the society of Washington is assuming u higher Intel lectual cast. There are quito a 'number of literary, classical, musical and dramatic so cieties, and associations of ait and science regularly organized, und in full practice, so to speak. Tho stated and occasional meet ings of these associations arc not only enliv ened by thoordinary "chil-chat"of lasliion uble gatherings, but by studied recitations, prepared lectures, and well methodised dis courses on almost every variety of topic. Poetical recitation, gay, lively and crave, original and selected, tnrms ono of the fea tures, perhaps tbe most prominent, nnd gentlemen and ladies of admitted genuine and graciously willing, if not enger,to favor their friends with specimens of their gifts and capacities. Another very pleasing feature of tlio society of the Capital City is that the stated evening reception of many of the privute families jira distinguished by this new inodo ol'ooiiverting time; and the dull unit llalulanti'lilt-i'liatid'lho humdrum days of the past is forced cither into silenco or is hurried along by tho spurklinfi rush of a ntgncr inieurciuui coiiveisuiion. Tha eagerness with which clerical posi tions in the Deportments at tho National Capital are sought must have its source iu a lalse conception ol the advantages which such places oiler. If wealth nd lame were tho certain rewards of faithful servico iu fiese humble offices, one could readily ex plain tlio scramble. But as poverty and vfoscuri'y aro the average lot of Government clei'lis, It is not easy to account for tho overwhelming pressure of the tide that sets toward that current of life. If the huu dicils of bright, Intelligent, ambitious young men wiioaie now pushing lor departmen tal positions, could be made to realize the actual lacts of the situation, they would withdraw their application and try lo carve out caieers in unotlicr field wheie ambition has u chance. AuntiST. IFkoji ocn ar.oui.AB Correspondent. Washington, May 2, 1881 The sensation here dr some days past has been Ihe Postoflice or "star route" develop, meuts, or at least the supposed developments. Just what tho extent of tho alleged frauds will prove to be, or who tho parties impli cutcd, cannot be definitely stated, as no specific charges'hnvo been' made nnd no definite information given out by Ihe Post offico officials. It is doubtless lltue, however, that somo crookedness has been uneailhed and that the matter Is still under iuvestign tion. It is also true that Second Assistant Postmaster-General Brady resigned nt tho request of his superiors; and it is generally understood that this request was in conse queiice. of certain developments, concerning which we shall know more hereafter. Mr. Brady and his friends deny that there is anything wrong, and tho Washington newspapers are about all on his side. Those who1, pretend to know something about it, however, assert that oyer $2,000,1100 has been livided among a ring of contractors and their confederates in tho department. The annual appropriation lor the postal service is about $5,000,000, und lor the lust two years there has been a deficiency ot 42,000, 000 additional. It is said to be tlio view of tho new Postmaster-General tliul tho de nartment honestly and properly managed suoum oe sen ausuiiiiiii. (, The correspondence regeiyea oy tne ireas urv department relative, to the Secrelary'i financial denarturo is simethinj enormous. Notwithstanding the very explicit circular issued bv the department, it is evident the matter is not clearly understood, and that considerable misapprenensinu exists among tha people at larce. Of tlio $1U5,000,000 of six per cents, which mature on tbe 1st of July next about $70,000,000 are coupon bonds, and the remainder are registered bonds. The new 3 J per cents, to be issued in exchange tor these sixes will all be reg istered bonds, lor tbe reason that it cannot be foreseen how long tbe bonds will run. Congress may nt the next session make some provision other than that adopted by the Secretary. Up to this lime it is understood that the amount of the sixes which the hold ers have notified the department of their desire to exchange for 3J per cents, is less than $20,000,0011, but little if. any doubt is entertained at the department that almost, if not quite, the entire issue will be present ed for exchange. The letters which come from the National banks all over the coun try indicate this. Tho Secretary of tbe Treasury would be quite as well satisfied if mo Holders oi nueen or iwcuiy millions or even moto of these bonds should prefer to send them iu for redemption as it is consid ered certain that the surplus revenues would be amply 6Utlicient to pay ull that propor tion ot them. A Boston gentleman who holds over $1,000,000 ol the sixes wrote to the Secretary that he would bo very glad to exchange them for 31 per cents., but he did not want lo pay the express charges for sending and relurnlnc his bonds. He submitted u cal culation which he had made, showing that the express charges to the holders of Ihe sixes, il the wbolo issue should be sent in fur exchange, would ueeroKate over one mil lion dollars, and he protested that this was too heavy nn expeiibo to be itnposeu ujion them. But the position taken by tbe dt lurlmeut is that the option afforded to the holders of the sixes of 1831 is in Ihe direc tion of economy aud reduction it expendi tures.. No one is obliged to accept the offer, nnd no persuasions whatever are used to in- d'lce the acceptance. If the entire issue of $195,000,000 should be presented by the holders and payment demanded the Secre tary would lie amply able by tbe sale of the remaining 6 per cents, lint Issued aud the use ol the surplus revenues to meet me ue mand.

Whether any considerable portion of the owners of the bouds abroad will Ut williuz to accept 31 wr cent, iutsrest is not yet determined, for with tho exception ol the BritUh Consuls theavcrace rate of in lereat paid by the Governments of Euroiie o i their loans exceeds 4 pr ojii Well ire jiitt bad another instalment of that phenomenal w. a her for which Wash ingtn is becoming juily celebrated.

A jump from 0 lo 87 is quite enough in the way of a change for April. Ono of our local Vennnrs has issued the following bulletin for the cur rent period!

Nkw York, April 28, 1831. As all tho world now knows Mr. WUIte law Held, editor of the JViiune and presi dent of the Lotas Club, has, after a fairly long batchclor career, token lo himself a wife in the person of Miss Elizabeth Mills, laughter of Mr. D. O. Milts, the million. Ire. Henceforth when he goes to do battle with his foes his wife can, liko the mother of Slser.i, look out for his coining from the pinnacle of the loll tower.

Mr. Leonard Jerome s proprietary " lurl Club," in the old Union League Club's Building, is not, it is leared, going to pro vide all tho allurements fur jcaneste clone that were anticipated.
