The Coining Comet.

A few weeks since a Swiss newspaper informed its readers that M. Plantamour, an astronomer of extraordinary skill, had predicted the arival, early next August, of a comet which would come into collision with the earth. It is undeniable that this story has produced considerable uneasiness in Europe, among the unscientific and credulous people who put faith in their newspapers, and unless the fictitious character of both M. Plantamour and his comet should be established, there are multitudes who will watch uneasily for the coming of the fiery stranger.

The appearance of a comet in the heavens, is always a matter of considerable alarm with a large number of people. Generally the appearance of one is followed by war, pestilence and famine somewhere on the face of the globe. Its appearance is supposed to have a belligerent influence on the minds of men, and hence they pitch into one another with a hearty good will. But this comet, predicted by this Swiss astronomer, bears a particularly dangerous aspect. It is to cross the earth's track, just at the very moment our dear old planet is to be at that particular point. Now it is certain, this being the case, that one of two things will happen—either it will strike the earth, or it wont. So you see that there is just one out of two chances of being struck. This is pretty close, and it does seem to us sufficient to make all the inhabitants of this world begin to look out for a safer habitation. If comets are composed of solid matter, then the best thing we can do, if it strikes on this side of our planet, is to get on the other side as quick as possible. But if it should, fortunately for us, strike the Chinese side first, then we are comparatively safe, and our heathen brethren will have the worst of it. If, however, comets are composed of a gaseous vapor (about the consistency of the speeches of modern politicians), then in a collision with this earth, the comet would get the worst of it, and we will be no more effected by it, than would a cannon ball in passing through a white cloud.

There is, however, another view to be taken of this alarming stranger, which Mr. Plantamour says is now approaching us from the upper heavens, and coming right on with lightening speed, and by the first of August will be afoul of us. If it is composed of solids, and is larger than the earth, and flying with such tremendous velocity, when it does strke us, it will knock us into fragments, and the fragments scattering throughout space, will become little worlds, revolving around a common centre, and may make delightful places to habitate upon. If a fellow can only cling to a small one, with his wife and babies, when it commences its regular work of turning on its axes and revolving around some larger planet, he might find himself the sole proprietor of an entire world, and "monarch of all he surveyed." This would be glorious, and makes us almost wish for the comet to come, and take our chances.

But in all seriousness, it would place a whole community in a very awkward condition indeed, if this comet, being a solid body, should come in collision with this earth, on a warm day in August, and the people not having sufficient no tice to get out of the way, should be caught between the two. Our judgment, calmly expressed is, that some persons would get hurt. How many we can not just now fully calculate but there is great danger in such a condition of things. Taking the whole, thing, therefore together, and looking till the circumstances fully and boldly in the face, we recommend all the people, without any distinction as to race color or previous condition, to petition our good father, Pius the IX to issue his bull No. 2, and stop the comet, or at least change its course a few miles.

We admit there are dissensions in the Republican party in this city and couuty. They disagree in relation to the reuomintiondPGen. Grant, as was clearly and most emphatically shown in our late County Convention. They disagree in

longer in the hands of a little clique, who have, during the late few years, so managed our political affairs that the county offices are now all filled with Democrats, and the city most of the time under Democratic rule. Tbe dissentees are in favor of cureing all this'and bringing back the County of Vigo to the ancient landmarks ofthe good old Republican times.

THE Indianapolis News, in an article a few days ago in favor of reduced railroad rates on coal, used the following words: "It occurs to us to suggest here that the Legislature, has the right, by an express provision oft he charter ofthe Torre Haute road, to regulate ita tolls and freights, so that wot more than fifteen per cent, of dividends shall be made in any year, or it more is made that the School Fund shall have the excess. The benefit to the School Fund is not likely ever to be more than it has been, for it is the settled practice of the

State to allow that fund to be

scattered or squandered with impunity, or at least to do nothing to aid it since the Sinking Fund expired, but this provision, by energetic effort, may be made to operate with some effect in the coal tariff, possibly. The Legislature may sec that some good can be done by assuming its reserved power and regulating" coal freights in the interest of manafactures. We do not know that there is anything in this suggestion, but we throw "it out upon the chance that something may grow out of it to equalize the prices of coal between this place and others that are a little favored by local influences."

This is the old thing over again. A half-dozen different Legislatures have worked into this very question, and decided always that nothing could be done, and if we mistake not different Attorney Generals have'also examined the whole matter,and come to the same conclusion If Indianapolis waits until it gets cheap fuel in this way, it will wait until Pogue's Run, runs up stream.

Requisites of a Good Coal.

IJV PROFESSOR OSBOKN.

DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED SCIENCE, MIAMI UNIVERSITY, OXFORD, O. To the Editor of Cincinnati Enquirer:

If you will permit me I will answer through your columns several letters and inquiries concerning a subject (o which I have paid much practical attention, namely: The relations of coal to iron what constitutes a good coal for iron purposes. A number of coals from Tuscarawas, on the northeast, from Coshocton, Washington and other counties in the State from Indiana on the west, and from other localities, have lately been sent or shown to me, accompanied with inquires, each indicating a different practical purpose in the minds of those interested regarding the uses to which those coals were destined. Practical men and metalurgists of the present day are very wary as to announcements and general assertions respecting coal, even if made by geologists,: chemists, and other scientists, unless these arc known to be thoroughly acquainted with the nature of the particular iron -work to which the specified coal is to be put. Now, for example, take a furnace coal. What coals are best fitted for the blast furnace? I allude to bituminous coals. The answer, with some, might end in asserting that such a coal is one with much carbon. We will suppose that the coal is free from sulphur. Now, although to a mere theorist this answer would seem perfectly correct and complete, there is to the fur-nace-master more perplexity and loss resulting from another source than from the mistake of using either sulphur or lean coals, against which last mistake he is somewhat forewarned. Every furnacemaster, who controls the brains, as well as the muscle,'of the furnace-action, knows that his '/charges"—his "burden" (ore) limestone'and coal—must be proportioned nicely, or he will "run out" mill iron when he wants foundry iron, or he will top out a cold slag and wasted iron, to his vexation and loss. This proportion between ore, limestone and coal, may be disturbed by various causes, but by none mor3 insidious, and provoking than by the amount of ash in all otherwise good coal. While it is importaut that a coal should be rich in carbon, and should not contain sulphur which makes the iron "red short"—that is, 'easily broken when red hot nor should it contain phosphorus in any combination to make the iron "cold short," it is also of great importance that the relation of ash to carbon should be thoroughly determined. For it is a fact that the furnace-master may do better with a leanpr coal as to fixed carbon than with one considerably richer in s#rboiT. It has been proved that a coke containing seventy per cent, of carbon !o?es in heating effect, which compared with ore containing ninety per cent, in the relation of 9,920 to 5,039 points of heat, called "calories by .Schinz, whom I quote but who does not put the perplexing point prominent, for the ash which remains, uot only may injure the irou directly, but because of the fact that eveij the addition of more coal hot restore the lost proportion of the "charges"—his lime-flux may be loo email, his burden, or ore, too great, and therefore, out comes a cold cin--der and a mill iron or low-grade foundry iron and all because while the coal was free from sulphur, phosporus,- etc., it had a greater proportion of ash than another poal whieh, though it had less carbon,

The essentials to a good

coal for the blast -furnace are a fair per eent of carbon fixed (by which we mean carbon that will not go oft in gas jwhen the coal is heated in a close vessel) absence of sulph ur, phosphorus, arsenic, etQ.j (the latte* two perhaps rarely jfonnd), and a small per cent, of ash of any kind.

Now, a very importaut point here to

Horace Greeley and the Philadelphia Convention. NEW YORK, Earcli 7.—Mr. Greeley, in to-day's Tribune, says the following is his note decliniug to have his name affixed to the call for the Philadelphia Convention "FRIEND CHANDLER: Please dojiiot attach my name to the call for a National Convention. I stayed away from your meeting on purpose to keep my position of independence. If we have trustworthy assurances of reform from the White House, all right but I am not inoliued to help ouf Leetsaud Stockings to another half a million of plunder. Yours,

HORACE GREELEY.

Hon. W. E. CHANDLER."

Old Prejudices are Dyiug Out.—New facts are killing them. The idea that invalids weakened by disease can be relieved by prostratiag them with destructive drugs, is uo longer entertained except by monomaniacs. Ever si nee the introduction of DB. WALICEK'S VIXEUAU BITTERS it has beeu obvious that their regulating and invigorating properties are all-sufficient for the cure ofUcluouic indigestion, rheumatism,^ constipation, diarrhoea, nervous affections, aud malarious fevers, and they are now the standard remedy for these complaints in every section of the Union.

Transforming the Complexion.—The transformation produced by HAQAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM are quite as astonishing as any scene on the stage of a theatre. That famous beautifier, transmutes a sallow, peeky looking complexion, into one in which the 1 illy and the rose vie for admiration, and imparts to a dry, harsh skin, the softness of perfect loveliness. Tan and freckles, which country air and sunlight are pretty sure to produce, in spite of parasols and sundowns, are completely obliterated by it while it has a perfectly magical effect in banishing undue redness, blotches aud pimples from the skin. When the-lady who has used it to remedy her complex ional defects looks in the mirror, she is equally astonished and gratified at the improvements in her appearance. Every blemish has disappeared her neck, arms and bosom, now rival in whiteness the snowy collar which encircles her throat, her cheek mantels with a peachlike bloom, and she is ready to invoke a blessing on the inventor of the article which has wrought such a delightful transformation.
