The Heavenly Visitor, Tho now comet, discovered on tho 23rd, became visible for the llrst time in this locality Sunday night. It appeared in tho northwest about 20 degrees above 'the horizon. It presented a woll-do- llned and luminous nucleus, from which a long mlst-liko incandescent, or lu minous tiU ascended towards tho zenith, trending in a uorthenstly direction. It assumed almost a lan shape, and resem bled somewhat an aurora, or northern light, in tho northern sky. Its tail is Bald to bo 4,000,000 miles in length, and thut it Is traveling from tho earth nt tho rate of 300,000 miles pel day. The whole city was out gazing at tho erratic celestial visitor. It presented a most beautiful sight, and a clear sky m ttio early evening gave a most favorable opportunity to bsorve it. lor three or four days, or since the llrst appearance of tho strange visitor, tho eastern press has been discussing it. The heavenly visitors are always n puzzle to nstrono. mors, and from time to time, ns they appear, they give riso to wild specula tlon'. Some ono or several of tho Innum erable comets thvt travel through space, aro eccentric artists, once suppled to havo been definitely settled, ns regards their reappearance to the vision ot tho carth!s inhabitants, xet, wherever a comet does appear, it is hard to nauo It us Eiieko's or some other, or reeogulzo 111 it a new acquaintance. Tho present comet is believed to bo tho ono of 1812, but as yet lias not been determined. When first observed, it appeared in the northeast, about ten de grees abovo the horizon, but was vMblo about 3 o'clock a. in., and taded away with tho morning light. The observa tions of tho next night wcro conflrnm. tory of tho first appearance. Tho dis covery of the Now York comet in the northwest, and in the orouing, lias given rise to' the belief that wo have two stran gers visiting tlio solar system. Theouo in tho evening and tho ono liUho morn ing, discovered or' observed at other points, mnkos this belief possible. Yet it is doubtful'tbat wo are thus fivored. The observations hero and elsowhoro indicate that both comets aro visible in the northern heavens,, and located at Ubout corresponding degrees abovo the muling ilogreos above the ,'cslorn horizons. Ho that o have one comet at any Eastern antl W as it mav. wo rate, and if there bo two, it is a heaven ly piieuonioiion mat was never witness ed in any year but 1881- J. T.
