The Comet. The comet, as it increases in
brilliancy night after night, continues to be
come more and more an object of curiosity
and interest. It is known as Donati's comet,
and will be nearest to us about the tenth inst.
after which date, its brilliancy will continue
to diminish, until it gradually disappears. It
is distant from us about fifty-two millions of
miles. Its tail or train is in the neighborhood
-of fifteen millions of miles in length.
It may bo seen before sun-rise in the mor
ning as well as in tho evening, and this cir
cumstance has given rise to the story that
there are two comets now visible to the naked
eye. ,
For some days past, our farmers havo been

withstanding here and there can be found a
field that is defective.

A Consistent Df-kiction. Col. Forney, of
the Philadelphia Press, undeterred by denun
ciation, keeps up the war against the Bucks
with unfinished zeal. Hear him on the Wash
ington Union.
It is a consistent deduction from the aban
donment of the accepted doctrine of Democ
racy, and the wanton breaking of as solemn a
covenant as ever vas entered into between 'he
people and their servants, that the Adminis
tration of the Federal Government should be
henceforth regarded as the Democratic party.
This is the new ritual, as explained and in
sisted upon the Washington Union and the
slaves that walk in its shadow. The President
and his Cabinet, the Administration and its
policy these are our new infalibilitics. To
oliey and worship these is to live ; to disobey
them is to die. A comfortable faith and an
easy one. this. Now we do not intend to in
sinuate that the Administration can make any
mistakes. Heaven ferfend ! We are hereto
accept its utterances as inspired wisdom "as
applese of gold set in pictures of silver."'
We are ready to believe that all the eight peo
ple in Washington, President and Cabinet,
are immaculate gods; that they are better
than creeds, higher than conventions, and
more potent than pledges. But our difficulty
is here : How is the Democratic party to get
on in the event of there being no Democratic
administration of the Federal Government !
Platform gone, pledges broken, party beaten,
President and Cabinet replaced, who then
shall lead and think for the party 7

IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO C 11 EWERS.
Dr. Onstav Linnard's Taste Restorative Troches,
the. Great Sulntitnte for Tohaeeo. lt is a well
known and incontrovertible fact that tbe use of
Tobacco is tho promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as cureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it contaiasoertain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
"TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,
Nervous Irritability. Water Brasb. Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of tbe Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco, and by giving a healthy tone to the Stom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobaeco
Chewing
These Troches or Lozenges aro put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 60
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
