OUR CELESTIAL VISITOR. She Is Still the Centre of Attraction--- Crowds of Star Gazers. Facts and Fancies About Other Comets. The marvel of the summer heavens—Coggia’s comet—continues to attract attention every clear evening from wandering groups scattered throughout the city; occupying every point dap- pui, and speculating as to the probable effect of the near approach of the celestial visitor to the earth, The curious throngs debate, generally with amusing ignorance as to the origin and des- tnation of the mysterious orb with the meteoric | tail. Some of the more reverent of the star gazers express the belief that the comet ts a warning from Heaven and a menace to this planet on ac- count of the corruption and wickedness existing everywuere, presaging destruction to this revolv- ing spher while others, and perhaps the most invelligent, think it to be but the proof of Oliver Wendell Holmes’ erudite idea, expressed in the two lines :— Hore the wild swavings of our planet show That worlds unse. a surround the world we know. The Bashful Comet—Cloads Obscure the View of the Lady of the Sky—Her Movements and Those of the Earth— Composition of the Mysterious Body. WASHINGTON, July 11, 1874, If the stars are vainglorious and envy the atten- tion of us poor mortals, there might be some reason in supposing their influence combined haa induced the formation of heavy clouds and made night unfavorable for the observation of the Coggia comet, But, whether the stars or the cyclones, heat or suddén change of the weather have been a@t the bottom of the privation, certain it is that the people of the capital have been deprived Dearly every night of the heavenly traveller's preseuce, while other portions of the heavens than that traversed by the comet have been as spark- lingly bright as on the coldest night of winter. Nevertheless this beautiful stranger has called forth and kept alive, for many days, emotions of interest, wonder and pleasure that cannot be described, It is now passing away, jeaving even the best informed to speculate, with- out satisfaction, as to its origin and the cause of its beauty. There isno evidence that the green old earth has ever been disturbed by comets, whatever their size or their fancied torm, whether | a blazing sword, as the comet of A. D. 450, or the flames of a flery conflagration settling upon the earth. The active mind of man 1s restless in ignorance, and has always attributed to them more or less interierence with our affairs, as if they were heaven-sent messengers to bid kings leave their thrones, nations go to war, or the cholera or some worse plague traverse the earth. It seems strange that to things so beautiful should be attributed only evil. It will perhaps add in- terest and prevent some of these ungracious accu- sations if we call to mind what we certainly Know about their history and conduct. THE MOTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM. The motion of the planets among themselves is generally, in a superficial way, understood; the princtpa! dimculty befng to form any just concep- tion of their relative distances and the relative size of the earth. There 1s, however, another mo- tion very pertinent to this subject which 1s not genarally understood, the motion whicn the whole system bas, noc around the sun, but in a direct line onward through the infinite regions of space. 1 say direct, because there is as yet no evidence of curvature in its path, although supposed to exist. Of the motion itself there 18 no sort of doubt. Along this pathway, infinitely cold and beyond any appreciable attracting influence of our sun or avy Otuer, are scatiered small patches of smoke or dust, more or less mingled with gases, probably at rest, or having no appreciable motion of their own, As aur sun approaches them they begin to feel the warming and gravitating intluence which keeps the members of Our OWN system 1m motion, Gradually they take on life, as it were, and begin to move toward the source of heat and gravity. ‘They become for @ time harmonious members of our system and journey with us until they fail into some Of the pianets or are thrown by them off into space again, there to lie in tie pathway of some other warm, ponderous system like our OWL. . COMETS AND THE BOUNDLESS YOLD. The contrast between the motion of the planets | and our comet guests i8 very striking. The swarthy Chinese could not be more awkward in the parlor of New York fashion.

All | move in the same direction, rising and failing but little above or below the same great level. ‘Lhe Movement of comets is remargabie for the | total absence of these characteristics. As might | be expected, trom the way in which they get into | our company, their entrance is sideways or back- wards witu the Procession, OF across it, just as it happens.

A Year of Hurricane and Inundation in the United States—$40,000,000 Worth of Property Destroyed—Terrifie Tor- mado in New York City—Eruption of Mount Vesuvius—The Thermometer 117 Deg. in London. s The appearance among us of comets, whose huge bulk seems almost sufficient to fll up the vast celestial regions, unfachomable as the latter may be, undoubtedly on Many occasions has been attended with violent disturvances of the elements of our globe, There is some satisfaction in knowing that the meteor of 1811, in which year the great earth- quake occurred in New Madrid, on tne Mississippi, 48 not expected to return until the expiration of 3,000 years, and that many other comets that have been heretorore discovered may come and go without revealing a3 much of their continued existence to the inhabitants of our planet as & Jack o? Lantern or ignis fatua, Few comets created a greater sensation than that of 1858, which was remarkable tor riciness in brillianey, the length of its tail and tne uniformity of its breadth, It came when war was raging in China between that Empire and the Western Powers, when the Indian mutiny was im progress, and when General Johnson was approach- ing Salt Lake to bring the insubordinate Mormons to their senses, Waker, too, was oper- ating in Nicaragua, and there were decidedly hos- tile measures proposed in Congress in consequence of the visiting of American vessels on the high seas by English ships-ofwar. Inundations caused great suffering and loss in the United States, and there wasa@ grand eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Sickness prevailed to an alarming extent in New Orleans, Charleston and Savannah, and, to make the year still more memorable, there was a total eclipse of the sua in the month of March, THE COMET OF 1858 ‘Was discovered June 2 of that yearby Dr. @. B. Donati (whose name it bears) at Florence. It was then distant trom the earth 228,000,000 of miles and was for some time afterward visible only by the most powerlul of telescopes. But asits course Was observed it was announced that it would pass near the earth, close to the sun and so near to Ve- nus that that planet would be in danger, Traces of a tail were noticed August 20, and later it was perceptible to the naked eye in the northwestern heavens. It presented when viewed in this man- ner a more striking and remarkable appearance than when examiued through the telescope. The comet arrived at its least distance from the sun on the 30th September, being then separated from that orb by @ space of 55,000,000 of miles. For the next ten days its appearance was extremely mag- nificent. The nucleus or head resembled A GLOBE OP LIGHT, clothed in several envelopes of lesser brilliancy. The outermost of these envelopes was continued- indefinitely to the northward in two bands, with @ lesser light between them forming the tail, This remarkable emanation might be described as the outer’ envelope broken and the broken ends Streaming belind the enclosure; as the waves of the sea thrown out on either side by the passage of aship, with a dark, smooth wake between, In September the tail extended 40,000,000 miles, and early in the month covered thirty-six degrees. The appearance of the nucleus and its envelopes varied in a very remarkable manner, frequently assuming the form of @ gas jet. Emanations of fashes of lignt from the head appeared to pass along the tail in instantaneous vibrations. ‘The stars of the constellation Bodtes were piainly visible through the tail and suffered no diminution of brightnesas they rather assumed a pale, clear. steady aspect. The comet passed nearest to the sun september 29, and was at its Jeast distance from the earth— $1,000,000 of miles—on the 10th of October, On the 18th it approacbed Venus within ¥-100ths of the earth’s distance from the sun, Had it been five days earlier the two bodies must hat come in collision, its rapid passage to Southern hemisphere rendered it invisible in the United States after the end of Octoder, but it was followed at Santiago de Chili and the Cape of Good Hope for some months afterwards, and was. last observed at the latter place, March 4, 1869. In California Donati’s comet was seen to great ad- Vantage. It occupied a large space in tne heavena and was @ wonderiully beautiiui, blazing object, and was visible both in the morning and evening. STORMS AND INUNDATIONS IM THE UNITED STATES. Whatever may be said a8 to comets porvenane dire effects it 1s beyond question that the Unitea States suffered most severely from storms and floods during the summer and fall of 1358. The splendid spectacie offered by the nights when the beautiful body was visible could have brought but little consolation to the houseless and half drowned peopie in the Western and southern parts of the Union. A dread{ul hurricane passed over Bentonville, Ark., in the month o! June, by which nearly every house in the town was blown down aad twenty-live lives lost. The heavy rains that fell caused the flooding of the Lower Mississip- pi. The storms o1 wind were terrific. The HERALD of May 16, 1858, gave a deplorable account of the destruction of property caused by this event. The river had, with few exceptions, covered the coun- try on both sides of it from the mouth ot Lake Providence to Memphis, a distance of 700 miles, and the people had to remain in the upper stories ; Of their houses, the lower rooms being tull of water. The foods continued for months to inflict great damage, and caused intense alarm ail over the country. ‘The water ran over the level plains of Ohio; Cairo was in imminent danger and Mound City was entirely submerged. In June @ fear: tornado passed over the village o! Ellison, Ill. Every house in the place was blown down and several persous dangerously wounded. The loss of property was estimated at $40,000,000, A FEARFUL TORNADO IN NEW YORK. On the 2ist June the city of New York was visited by a@ terrific tornado ana thunder storm. It lasted only half an hour, but in that short space & Vast amount Of damage was done. It began at four o'clock in the afternoon. Many houses were injured, trees uprooted and awnings blown down. Ten or filteen large trees Were torn up by the roots im Union square and three or four ip Tompkins square. A church in Fifty-tourth street was nearly demolished. Wagons with thetr contents were capsized on the streets by the force of the wind. Chimueys were hurled down and vessels were forced from their moorings and driven into the stream. The American Flint Glass Works, at Hunter’s Point, was wrecked and two meu killed, ‘he shrubbery was utterly prostrated and tie streets looked like runuing rivers.
