THE new comet may now le seen about 0 o'clock almost immediately beneath tho north star, and about midway between the star and the horizon. An hour and a half later It may be seen in almost tho same place, apparently atau altitude of twenty degree*, and its position does not change much so long as it is visible. As yet, no tail is visible, owing to the location of the lometand its direction. Apparently it is a nebulous star, and Is estimated to le twenty-live times brighter than when lirst discovered. It is supposed it will be brightest about the last two weeks of June.
THE Skating Rink at tue corner of Ohio sml Eighth streets is the big suceess wc predicted. The patronage excels the expectations of the proprietors. The tloor is larger than that of Dowling Hail, affording ample room tor the skaters, who, while enjoying themselves, afford lots of amusement for the hundreds of spectators each evening.

AMUSEMENTS.
Cliaa. E. Ford's comic opera company, which is spoken of in very high term«t will play the pretty and amusing opera of "JBillee Taylor"' at the Opera House next Tuesday evening. This is from the St. Louis Dispatch '•The second performance of ("Billee Taylor by Fords Comic Opera Company was attended by a large and appreciative audience. The popular nautical work receives better treatment at the hand of Ford's Company than of any combination yet presented for public approval. The opera is handsomely placed on the stage, reflecting credit on the management. The scenic effects and costumes are bright, new and attractive, the orchestral details carefully handled, and the leading roles are sustained by artists of peculiar merit. Some strength is exhibited in the chorus, which is admirably trained. "Billee Taylor," as presented by Ford's Company,is a thorough success, and the performance will be heartily enjoyed by the patrons of this fashionable and popular place of amusement. All the "catchy" features of the work are re-demanded with enthusiastic applause, and the artists composing Ford's excellent troupe receive wellearned marks of favor."

W. W. COLES GREAT SHOWS Will exhibit in this city on Wednesday, the 14th of June. An exchange speaks of the exhibition in these enthusiastic terms: "There is nothing so pleasiugand fascinating to man as the gorgeous splendors of so-called barbarism. The glories and the splendors of the now almost forgotten empires of the elder world are.reproducedin miniature in W. W. Coie's Great Sho\v3—nine mammoth undertakings in one. The universal verdict is to the effect that in all that charms the eye these shows are not only without an equal, but that earthly splendors can go no farther. It is not an exaggeration to characterize them as a cyclone of revelation of all ages since creation's birth.
