The new comet is looming up hand- somely to the aetronomer's eye, and indeed is visible to all but the near-sighted in the morning hours before twilight by the unassisted power of vision. Abut the middle of the week it will be discernible in the evening after- twilight near to the horizon at the point somewhat north of northwest. At present the direction for finding it in the morning is to carry aline from the star Capella through Beta Aurigw, which is a bright star eight or ten degrees lower and to the right. By extending this line a further distance, equel to the apparent distance from star to star, the position of the comet is reached. It is now rapidly increasing in brightness. Its distance frona the.earth is about 97,000,000 miles. The diameter of the bright part surrounding the nucleus is 11,750 miles; that of the bright coma, - 110,000 miles; total diameter of the envelope 200,000 miles; length of the tail, 3,000,000 miles or more. Thedeviations of the orbit from the predictions up to August 2nd were 3m. 59s. in right asceu sion, and .1.9m. in declination. These results are satisfactory, considering the unfavorable position or rather direction of the comet's motion whenthe three earlieet observations were taken. That direction was almost towards the earth. Had the direction or apparent motion been, -:so to speak, athwart the sky, more accurate predictions would have been possible. The development of the tail before perihelion is - in this cornet greater .than that of the great comet �f 1858. • On last Thursday night. the comet for the first time kept above the horizon all night, or technically. speaking, . entered the circle of perpetual apparition. --Boston Daily Advertiser.

On the evening of Saturday, August 6th, a most horrible and 'mysterious murder was committed in the outskirts of Wash- ington, the victims being two little children, a boy aged 3 and his sister aged 6. They lived with their uncle and aunt who left them at home, while they themselves had gone to market. The uncle having re- tuned at 5 o'clock in the evening. found the two lying side by side under the shade of a large oak tree, with their brains -scat- tered round, and their life -blood bedewing the grass: Little Lizzie's b y was stark and stiff, 'while Joe's tender bs, like his sister's, naked to the evening breeze, yet retained some slight warmth. At . their feet was found a new axe, but on it was neither spot nor blemish.

The corpses were carried into -the-Iniuse, and the women, against whom .there is- not at present a tissue of evidence, were removed in custody.

Nathan Orlando Greenfield was executed at Syracuse on Friday morning for the murder of his wife at Orwell, Oswego county, in 1875. The case was remarkable for the stubborn contest in the courts. There were three trials. The jury once disagreed and twice found hitt guilty. Three death sentences were passed, and there were five stays and reprieves. On the sixth day formally set the execution took place, five years and nine months after the crime was committed. After so many escapes from the gallows, Greenfield was confident that he would not be hung, and gave up hope of commutation only under the gallows. Vigorous efforts to gain the Governor's interference were in vain. The execution took place in the jail in presence of 200 persons, officials, witnesses and press representatives. The prisoner was calm and unconcerned. Being asked if he had anything to say, he replied, nothing. The trap was isprunge at 11 o'clock. A scene took place just before the execution. The peisoner's brother insisted on standing by him -to the last, declaring him to be inno- cent. Thia the sheriff refused as unlawful. • 0 11 grounds together.

The Question of Mourning. (From London Spectator.) Nzitures, cif course, differ widely, and there are I-Oome who (probably in consequence of having been accustomed from their earliest years to regard black as the emblem of death and sadness) find some amount of. relief and comfort in wearing mourning when afriend dies and feel a satisfaction in .marking the especial event with especial garments. But all are not of this way of thinking and there are many whose inclina- tions are just the reverse. The sort of self-consciou ness and strangeness of feel- ing which us/w.IIy accompany, brand new clothes are jlistasteful to them in a time of trouble, and they Wish only to go about in whatever they are in the habit of wear- ing, without any fuss -or alteration.

About a fortnight ago, during the Chicago races at the Jockey Club Park, a gentleman was suddenly seen to fall back insensible, just as the bell rang for another heateTwo men, stranars to the crowd, but supposed at the moment to be friends of the sick man, immediately took charge of him. It is now known that the person struck down was Mr. C. N. Wales, editor of the Paris, Ill., Republican, whose disappearance dates from that day. Nothing has since been heard of him, nor does any one know who those were who proffered ta come to his assistance. It is*understood that he carried a large sum of money with him, and there are those who say they saw a man in an apparently fainting condition, carried out by three others, placed in a carriage, and borne away from the park. Here the evi- dence, such as it is, ends. The talk about Mr. Wales' disappeaf- ance had just begun to subside, when Thursday last, the 4th inst., the body of unknown man was picked up in the lake. At 'first little was thought of so common an occurrence, till some one saw, or fancied he saw, in the corpse a likeness to Mr. Wales, and now many of the friends of that gen- tleman positively assert that the body is his. The pockets•were duly examined, but these afforded no clue to the deceased, nor did his linen. Money, watch„jewellery, all wen gone, leaving those interested to come to the conclusion that those who removed him from the • race -course were thieves, who tint robbed the insensible Man, per- haps murdered him, in any cese threw his remains into the lake to avoid trouble. So mysterious is the whole affair that even the -detectives make 'no pretensions to hav- ing any idea as to the true state of the case. . Personal..
