THE DAILY POST.
The number of languages spoken is 3Ueel.
The number of men is about equal to the
number of women. The average of human
life is 33 years. One quarter die before the
age of 7. One -half before the age of 17. To
every 1000 persons, one only reaches 100
years. To every 10J, only 9 reach G 5 years ;
and not more than 1 in 50U reaches the age
of 80 years. There are on earth 1,Uu0,000,..
000 of inhabitants. Of these, 33,333,333 die
every year : 7,780 every hour, and GU every
minute—or one for every second. The losses
are about balanced by an equal number of
births. the married are longer lived than the
single; and above all, those who observe a
sober and industrious conduct. Tall men live
longer than short ones. Women have more
chances of life previous to the age of 56
years than man, but fewer after. The num.
ber of marriages is in proportion of 75 to
100. Marriages are more frequent after the
equinoxes—that is during the months of
June and December. Those born in spring
are generally more robust than the others.
Births and deaths are more frequent by night
than by day. Number of men capable of
bearing arms is calculated at one fourth of
the population.
The Comet es Seen Through a Telescope
U. M. Mitchell, of the Cincinnati Observatory,
communicates to the Daily Gazette a very inter
esting paper regarding the Comet, which now
makes so fine a display in our western heavens at
night, It was discovered by Professor Donati,
of Florence; Italy, nearly four months ago, and
for a largo portion of the time eince, it was
detected, has been steadily approaching the
earth, and in a direction no nearly coeincidental
with the visual ray, that but for the computa
tion, of astronomers, might well excite autioi
pations of some fearful collision with our planet.
Indeed, throughout the present month it seems
to have been plungin g downward so exactly to,.
ward the earth, that it scarcely changed ,its ap
parent place among the fixed stars by a quantity
larger than two or three times the diameter of
the moon.
It will reach its nearest approach to the sun
in a few days. Its brilliancy will increase rap id•
ly up to the close of the first week in October,
when it will put onlits most splendid appearance,
and will then rival in its grandeur the famous
Comet of Halley, at its last return in 1836
This comet, Professor Mitchell says, " will
soon commence to change direction, at first slow
ly, afterward a ore rapidly, as Been from the
earth, when sweeping swiftly round the sun, it
will regain those distant regions of space, where
in a vast proportion of its orbit hes, far beyond
the reach of telescopic vision." He further
states :
"On the evening of the 25th of September,
the appearance of the comet, in the great refrac
tor of the Cimoinnati Observatory, was especial,
ly interesting. The central portion, or nucleus.,
was examined with pow-re varying from one
hundred to five hundred, without presenting any
evidence of a well defined planetary disc. It
was a brilliant glow of light, darting and flash
ing forward in the direction of the motion to,
ward the sun, c and leaving the region behind in
comparative obscurity. But the most wonder
ful physical feature presented was a portion of
a nearly circular nebulous ring, with vertex
reoted toward the sun, the bright nucleus being
in the centre, while au imperfect ring swept
more than half round the luminous centre. This
nebulous ring resemble t those which sometimes
escape from a steampipe, but did not exhibit the
appearance which ought to be presented by a
hollow hemispherical envelope of nebulous mat
ter.
" There was an evident concentration of light
in the central portions of the ring, while, in the
case of a hollow envelope, the brightest portlou
should be at the outer edge. By micrometri3al
measurement, the distance flom the central
point to the circumference of the ring was found
to be about nine thousand nine miles. Tlll6 .
would give a diameter of eighteen thousand
miles, in case the ring was entire. Similar
measurements, made on the evening of the 2t;th
of September, indicating a decided increase in
the radius of th 3 ring, which was now not ;cos
than twelve thousand miles in length. On the
same evening I noticed that the luminous envelope
did not blend itself into the head portion of site
tail, but appeared somewhat to penetrate tit:o
thisinebulons mass especially on the upper part,
presenting the appearance of about 200 degrees
of spiral. The tail on the 25th was decidedly
brighter and better defined on the lower portiot,-,
while on the 28th there was a much nearer rs
preach to equality in brightness, espwially w ..r
the head of the Ai:ht. Throughther telescope,
and near the bead, the tail presented the appear
ance of a hollow nebulous envelope, under the
form of a parabola of revolution, the edges being
brightest and well defined, while there WP.:3
manifest fading away of light to wards the central
region. Through the vast depth of nelonloue
matter composing this wonderful appendage, the
faintest telescopic stars shone with undiminish
ed brightness.
" Na one can gaze on this gigantic objeot, in
all its misty splendor, without a deep impres.
sion that the eye is resting on a mass of nebs
boas matter precisely snob as the nebulous theory
of La Place supposes to have .been the primer
deal condition of our sun and ejl its planers,
and from which chaotic canditiolli this beautiful
system of revolving worlds hal been evoked by
a single law.
" The only comet which has presented r‘ii
appearance resembling the one now visible, is
the one known as Halley's comet, as seen by Sir
William Herschel and others, in its return in
1886. There is a marked difference between
the two: That while the envelope of Halley's
comet is t eseribed as a hemispherical hollow en
velope, is shows more the shape of a nebulous
ring ; there is a faint light, of irregular outline,
but not to be mistaken by even a casual oti
server."

Peculiarities of Our Race.
Th• Sugar Crop of Louisiana
A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune
expresses his view of the yield of the sugar
crop as follows:
The general impression seems to be that there
is an immense crop of sugar in Louisiana tt is
season. Now this is a mistake which I wish to
correct. There is no doubt that more sugar will
be made than was last season, but the amosn t
will n • efabove that of a fair average—Bay
325,000 hhds. Putting the loss by crevasse (in•
eluding seed required from others by those
merged) at 76,000 hhds. would make 400,000
hhds. for the State.
The osne is not as good as it was in '5B ; there
is not as much of it, and shall we have as favora
ble a winter as that year, when many planters
were grinding in march, and some in April, '54?
In Louisiana you cannot well estimate a crop
until the crop is made. It is not once in ten
years that we get such a winter as that of '53
At this moment the ratoons are sweet, but
very dry ; the plant cane is very green, though
of good size. In fine, lam willing to risk $.250
on my estate against that of any speculator
who may try to bring down prices by reports of
an immense orop. This game is played every
year, and, unfortunately for tho planters, with
success.
I notice that the sugars of the coming crop
in Cuba hive been sold at $2B and $25 per box,
and large advances made. This gives us hopes
of good prices here, which would be but fair,
after the short! crops of the last two years.
A SLASDEIC. REFUTED —A clergyman was
charged with having violently dragged his wife
from a revival meeting, and compelled her to go
home with him. The clergyman let the story
travel on until he had a fair opportunity to
give it a broad side. Upon being charged with
the offense, he replied as follows
tt In the first place I never have attempted to
influence my wife in her views; nor a choice of
a meeting: Secondly—my wife has not attended
any of the revival meeting at Lowell. In the
third place, I havenot attended any of the meet,
inga for any purpose whatever. To conclude—
neither my wife nor myself, have:any inclination
to then megtiugs. Finally—l never had a wife."
