ftTRI il BT THE COMET.
It ia rather late in the day to express fear oa
the flaming comet that had threatened to burn
up the world for so many months pa?t. and we
thiak that our citizens hare about concluded
that the mysterion* visitor was all vapor, had
neither head nor tail, and wa? incapable of mis
chief Our readers will therefore feel somewhat
surprised to learn that the comet has again
made bis appearance, and with one wave of hia
extremities knocked Pet*-r Flvnn into a gutter,
where be wad picked up by a policeman, taken
to a station house, and complained of for being
drunk
Peter's appearance in the dock created con
siderable surprise, for Lh face looked like a Chi
nese map. with all the shoals and islands done
in red ink. and the continent marked in mud
The latter article was also plcntifn'ly plastered
over the clothes of Peter, aud as it had dried in
cakos during the uight. he seemed covered with
an armor that kept hi* foes at a respectable
distance, for the officers of the court held their
fingers to their noses as they held Peter up at
arm's length for the inspection of the Judge.
" Do you aay guilty, or not guilty, to the
charge of being drunk?" asked the clerk, mo
tioning the officers to remove the prisoner to a
greater distance from the desk, and requesting
a loafer to let down a window.
4 Whist"' replied Peter, holding on his head
with both hands, and looking upward. " don't

when I am waiting for it to fall!**
' Does this defendant at the barf lead guilty
or not guilty'" asked the Judge, refreshing his
olfactories with a pinch of snuff, and then gent
Iv waving a sombre-colored handkerchief, as
though he wishod to keep the air of the oourt
room in motion.
?? It's for yees lives I'm plading." cried Pe
ter, keeping ono ejreon the ceiling and the other
on the Judge, as though expecting some won
derful change to take place in a very short time,
which he intended to be prepared for.
" I think that the defendant is still intoxi
cated," said the Judge mildly, " he had better
be removed until sober."
?? I'm not drunk, yer honor, and never was."
replied Pe.er promptly.
? Did you arrest the defendant ?" inquired
the Judge of policeman No. 49f
? I did '
'? What signs of intoxication did you observe
in the prisoner," asked the court.

" And who in the devil's name wouldn't cry
If rapped over the head by n blackguard of a
eummit,'' roared Peter.
'? If any person has assaulted you tho law
will grant redress !" the court said, not exactly
understanding what had rapped Peter over the
head into the gutter.

that that rufe will fall and squash yer honor

this morning holding on to a lamppo9t. and
looking intently at the gas. When I approached

The London Engineer has the following arti
cle, comparing the English and American Pat
ent Offices
44 ^ ? had no idea of the eribned, cabined. I
and oonfiued nature of our own little nest, in
rompansou with the vast aviary in which we
have been accustomed to be fieoced by our
transatlantic friends, before we had the plans
drawn out on the same scale, or wc think we
we should hare hesitated to make such an tr
po*4 of our deficieucies ; but the plans beiii?
Prepared and promised to our readers, we feel
>und to bring them to the light, let the conse
quences be damaging as they may. We had
read of the sixes of the various rooms of the
American offi.-e, hal published descriptions of it.
and we had seen the plan; and, further, we
knew well the Ins and outs of our own Patent i
"ffioe; but never, until tho plans were placed
side by side, did the comparison aj pear so ri
diculous. W * do net say that some of the clos
ets of the American office are as large as our
patent library, but really the space occupied
by the entire building is so vastly greater than
our own little jewel in Chancery lane, that we
are at a loas to know what use can possibly be
made of it
It is true that the plan of the American office,
as we have given it, is not completed?one por
tion having u? be built, aud other portions being
occupied by different departments of state ; yet,
til all this, the buildiug was designed lor the
Patent Office alone, and to the purposes of this
office alone will it very shortly be devoted, so
that we may justly conclude, from the vise of
the entire building, what views the Americana
entertain of the importance of the patent busi
ness of their eountry. In one of our depart
ments the space is *o eoofined that we hftve
recommended the Attendant* to wear spring
shoe*, so that they would, after a little prac
tice be able to jump over each other's heads. ?
there being no room to pass bet*tea the shelves
and the backs of the chairs of those-sitting at
the central table With respect to the store
department, there is only sufficient room in the
corrugated iron out-house to Contain a few
copies of each of the printed specifications,
which spa>*e will bo wholly iuadequate when
the specifications of the patent* granted under
the old law are all printed As to a museum
of m ?deis. it doee not exist, except in one of the
boilers at Kensington . and as recent events, to
which we referred last week, give signs of an
explosion iu that quarter, no safety-valve hav
ing as yet been discovered?it is not impossible
that the models uiay again have to be placed in
thuir respective eases, and consigned to the cel
lars frout which thej were taken Now, this if
all too bad. especially wken we consider that
the pftteat fund notwithstanding the excessive
lees of the law officers, has accumulated to the
extent of about XHU.UOU Patentees will never,
as was at one time suggested, have any part of
this fund returned to them, and why. we want
know, would it not be as well employed in
building a r?"i**-table nffioe as in remaining in

HOW TO MAKE A FRENCH IOOK.
The proprietor of an excellent hotel not a hun
dred miles from Boston, deoided, among other
improvements in his household arrangements,
to employ a French cook, and bj making a
journey to New York he found the artitU re
quired As tho landlord wa? not familiar with
the French language, tho preliminaries of the
engagement were settled in English, with which
tho cook was tolerably conversant. Soon after
the instalment of the distinguished ctiisinitr, a
remarkable change took placo iu the kitchen
and dining-room of the establishment, much to
the satisfaction of its guests. The table wus
boautifulty deoorated with flowers, pyramids
and otherornaments known only to the French;
a light-house of sugar, with an illuminated
lantern, towered in the midst thereof, which
would have shed ltTstre upon a table at the
Tuilleries. Every guest wus praising the skill
of the French cook. The dishes were excellent.
The entrees and dessert wero of tho first
order?in a word, a French table had been set
up in the establishment.
Duriug this happy state of affairs, ona of the
boarders, a Frouch gentleman who was confined
to his room by illnoss. wishod to see his country
man. the cook, that ho might ordor a particular
French soup. Theartiste appeared in his white
cap and complete French cook'scostume. ' Mon
sieur Ie Cuisinier." said the sick gentleman.
'?Je dt'irai* que vrtits me unt sukjw a
Lr Franeui*'." ''Speak plain," replies tho
cook. "1 cannot understand you." Tho French
gentleman, astonished at the answer, gave his
order in English, and added. " being myself a
Frenchman, I was told by the landlord that you
were a fellow-oountryman " "Ah, my dear sir.
I am an Irishman ! but do not expose me. I
have been an under-cook at the Euglishetnbassy
in Paris, and there I learnod French cooking ;
but it the landlord should know that I am an
Irishman he would send me away."
The gentleman's order was well and promptly
answered, and for several weeks he kept tho
seeret committed to him. The story being too
good to keen, was passed around in a (juiet way,'*
and after the departureof the French gentle
man, came to tho ears of the landlord, who,
furious with rage, rushed into the kitchen.
-You villain." said he, "you have deceived me,
you are an Irishman ' you could not understand
the French gentleman when ho gave you an
order." "No, Monsieur." replied the cook,
??me no comprehend his Francais. ho speak le
Francais ver' bad.*' This reply satisfied the
landlord, and the cook maintained his position,
good cooking, ami unsuspected integrity, still
speaking his brokon English and singing his

Miasm is malaria, but milaria is not miajin
Miasm is an emanation from decaying vege
tation. Malaria is bad air. whatever may be
its source All impure air is Malaria.
Miasm is so rarified by a sun of ninety de
grees, that it rises rapidly above u9, and is in
U'cuuui. The oool of the morning and evoniug
of summer time condenses it. and causes it to
fall to the surface of the earth, where it is

pestilence, plague, and epidcmic fevers. Thu3.
I the higher persons sleep ubove the surface of
the earth, the hnulthier is the atmosphere.
While, ss a general rule, it is better to sleep
tn apart-jieuts having u window and the fire
place open in all seasons, yet where miasm
i abounds, evidencing its proeence by chills and
i ferer. fever and ague, diarrheas, and the like,
it is better to sleep with closed windows thau
to have them open, because men aro known to
I fatten in jails and small prison cells, while the
breathing a malaria a single night has origin
ated dmeases which, from the violence of their
action, aro seareely distinguishable from the
effects of swallowing corrosive poison, ad wit
nesses the National Hotel disease
But although the air inside ot a houso is sup
I plied from the outside, vet if the windows and
! outside doors are closed, it is supplied in such
small quantities, through the crevices, that it
is at once heated by the indoor air, and carried
to the ceiling, where it is above reach. Tho
difference belwoeu the thermometer in our hall
and the one outdoors, about five o'clock of a
summer's morning, is ten degroes. Hence,
during the prevalence of miasm. at least in
August and f*ept?uiber. it is better to close the
chamber windows, but let an inner door and
the fireplace be kept opto j
""v'The press and the banks have comciuto
collision in Canaia. On Friday afternoon Mr.
James Hamilton, cashier of tho I'ank of Upper
Canada, attacked Mr. Marcus Talbot, editor of
the London Prototype, about an article that
appeared in Mr. Talbot s paper that morning,
asking him how he dared to do so, Ac. Mr.
Talbot replied, that's my business. Mr. Ham
ilton called Mr. Talbot a rascal and other hard
names, and then struck at him with a large
stick. Mr. Talbot caught it witb one kand,
and planted the other on Mr. Hamilton s eye
and administered sundry kn<>ck*on his eyes,
all the time holding the stick with his baud.
At this juncture, Messrs. Rivers, teller in the
Bank of l pper Canada, and Mr. Hutchison, a
well known lawyer of that city, rushed over to
separate ihein, when Mr. Mckenzie, of Kurr,
Mckenzie A Co.. and Mr Murphy,commission
agent, thinking they were rather rough in
their treatment of Mr. Talbot, and rather fa
voring the bank, interfered, and a general
meter ensued, in wliich black eyes and bloody
noses preponderated ; but which ended in the
total route of the bank party. Mr. Hamilton
instead of giving a thrashing, got one.
iir a couple of young sprouts of American
blood, made their appearance before a Detroit
Justice the other day and requested to be uni

judging from their looks, were about twelve und
fourteen. They claimed a right to demand the
performance of the ceremony, the young man
twirling a ten-spot around his finger with much
nonchalance The young lady holding up her
hand swore roundly that she was "over four

of the two young hopefuls, and a general dis

a'oout being led off by the ear to their mammas,
when Justice Purdy requested the young lady
to explain how she dared to take the oath that
she had just taken, which she knew must be
false. Nothing disconcerted, she stooped down

it has a very appropriatwnime?Shell. Yes. shells

them?good for the make's. And as to the old Morn

again. They are as thin as pasteboard. 1 can piove
that the maker's agent urged rue, for almost a day,
last summer in my counting room to sell them tins
Fall; say in* that if I would take twenty-five of
them he would eive me the exc!u*iveagency ofthem
for live years. 1 told him I would not have them at
any price, they are so thinly made. Thev are hand

were not worth having. AH ihs above 1 can prove.
