The comet of 1812 is now visible to the naked eye as a faint nebulous speck in the northwest, in the six or eight degrees north from the bright star Vega, in the consellatiou Lyra. The comet will be at its brightest about Christmas, but is not likely to be of great size, or to possess a very long tail.

Letter from Mrs. Imes.

if Franklin, Neb., Nov., 22, 1883. ' Editor Republican:—l see in your last week’s issue, some one has made a .very flattering report of some of the late Rensselaer people. It is quite a mistake about my health being completely restored. I only with it was, but. Nebraska is not such a wonderful country, as that would indicate, although I think it healthy here, but not deserving of that mi ch credit. I can detect but or e improvement, hatis*my appetite is y. little better. Of course there could not be much change in kss than two montis.'S

Brief Sketches of Mythology* MERCURY. Murcury was the son and messenger of Jupiter. He presided over whatever required skill, or dexterity, and, also, Over commerce and stealing; which accounts, to some extent, for “The tricks of trade.” Murcary was possessed of a cap and shoes armed with wings; and when Jupiter called himto go to the release of 10, he donned his cap and shoes, took his syrinx, and flew to Argus, expecting to play him to sleep. But Argus slept with two eyes open, and, looking at Murcury’s winged feet, exclaimed; “Shoe?fly don’t bodder me.” With talk and music, however, Murcury lulled Argus to sleep, cut off his head, and released 10, as “herein-before-stated”. Juno took the 100 eyes of Argus and put them on the tail of her favorite bird, the peacock. Murcury was, also, inventor of the Lyre. Wandering one day by the seashore. he found a tortoise shell, across which he stretched kome strings forming it into a musical instrument, which he presented to Apollo, Appollo was then considered the “boss lyre-(ist). But that was in ancient times, my friends, in ancient times. Rensselaer, a city of modern renown, now the “Boss-liar”, and he does riot sell Boots and Shoes two doors from the P. 0., either! Oh no! He does business further down the street. >

TWENTY YEARS OF CONGRESS

From Lincoln to Garfield/ 1861—1881. Is the title of a book by James G. Blaine for which the people of all parties in this country and the Statesmon of Europe are on the qui vive. From the universally recognized ability of Mr. Blaine as a writer and his actual participation in the stirring scenes of those years; the great work takes front rank in advance as a standard inside history of the momentous events of that most important epofch in our career as a nation. The work will contain about 1200 pages in two Royal Octavo volumes. In the beginning of the first volume there will be introductory chapters showing the remote and immediate causes of the Civil war. It will then give a sufficient and impartial history of National Legislation upon the great questions arising from secession and the civil war including emancipation, reconstruction, legal tender paper and the return to specie, the impeachment of President Johnson, the work of the electoral commission and other important Domestic and Foreign measures: Also, of contemporary administrations. The book will be made spicy and attractive as well as valuable by sketches of the prominent leading men in Congress for the 20 years included in the history. It is conceded on all sides that Mr. Blaine is the man best qualified to write an inside history of that period, and his book is to be strictly nonpartisan. In the sketches of leading men it is his aim to sink the partisan in the historian and to do exact justice to all. The work is to be embellished with 57 fine steel engravings, included the presidents and Vice Presidents of the period, and besides that of the author 47 of the prominent leaders of all parties. There .other valuable features of the work of which our space forbids mentioning at this time. Suffice is to say in conclusion, that the work is one that Will be too valuable for any citizen interested in the progress and welfare of his country, not to say of civilization itself to think of doing without. It*is undoubtedly in the greatest demand and the most rapid selling work extant and people without regard to party are securing it for the satisfaction, in their decliniug-years, of a better understanding of our”country’s perils aud escapes and for the sustant\al instruction of those now rising to take their places in the guidance of the * ‘ship of state”. Capt. J. A. Burnham is the authorized agent of the work for this locality, and will doubtless receive that patronage, which the intelligence of this Community and the excellence of. the book would naturally lead him or anyone to expect. *

To the Asylum.—Sheriff Powell took the lunatic, Hugo Hellenstein, to the Insane asylum last Tuesday. The Masquerade oh roller skates, at the Opera House on Thanksgiving night, was largely attended, both by spectators and participants. Many striking and beautiful costumes appeared upon the floor; but what particular characters *were represented, we did not, in many cases, succeed in learning. Mr. Vai Qeib wore the most striking costume of any, and successfully and, perhaps, appropriately, personated His Satanic Majesty.

Insure against Accident. Farmers are apt to overlook the many dancers, and liabilities to accidental injury, to which they are daily subjected. They handle a greater variety of tools and implex ments than almost any othei class of men. They mount ladders, clamber about stacks, loads of bay. onto the soot", and-even flifflb trees. They are among the hoof* and horns and teeth of their live-stock. They drive in a pronycnous way, in all sorts of conveyances, and at all times of the day, and in the darkest shades of night. ?h«y ar®, therefore, at all times, liable to cuts, bruises, kicks, gores, bites, falls fractures and other injuries, Ad Infinitum.
