Prorrssor Swirt, director of the Warner observatory, Rochester, N. Y., has discovered that the Parr’s comet, which had a single tail in 1312, now has a double tail, the longer part of which is seven degrees and the shorter three degrees in length. It is underg ing changes as it approaches the sun and can be seen by the naked eye early in the evening, Prof. Swift, in an interview, asserts that the red sunsets are due to extraneous matter which has come into our atmosphere and which reflecta the raysof the sun. What the matter my be it is impossible to say, but it is not the result of volcanoes or earthquakes.

Ong of our Halifax contemporaries lately ventured the »ssertion, which has since been copied into other Provincial papers, that the Legislative Library of Nova Scotia is the only institution having a copy of the Speeches and Addresses of the Prince Consort, which was presented by Her Majesty the Queen, ard bearing her autograph. The statement is very largely imaccurate. The Legislative Library of Prince Edward Is!and possesses not only a cepy of the book in question bnt also **Leaves from the Journal of Her Life in the Highlands,” ““The Early Years of H.R.H. the Prince Consort’’—all. three havivg in- scriptions to the effect that they were present- ed by the Queen, and all three bearing the autograph ‘*Victoria R.” Will our contem- poraries please make a note of this correction?

The “Northern Light.” At two p. m, om Saturday lost, 5th January, the steamer ‘Northern Light” left P.ctou Landing for Georgetown, with freight and about twenty passengers, the | river at Pictou being full of floating ice, and | outside the same, as far »s could he seen. | The steamet ploughed ir way amonyst and | through the large pans, now Kuoehing their | toppieces under her keel iike an impatient | war horse trampling upon his foes, and | again throwing them from her bow like a | giant snowplongh in its onward course, | dashing the banks high up and away to | either side. Outside it seemed impossible | to be able to get through.

Ice to the Right of her,
Ice to the Left of her,
Tee to the Front of her, Surging and smashing.
On the bold steamer goes,
On through the mighty floes, On with terrific blows, Shivering and crashing.
Up on the turret high, Scanning with eager eye, Watching the dangers nigh, Stands the brave master. There too, the Pilot’stands, Grasping the tiller bands, Waitiog his chiet’s commands To ‘‘slow,” or go ‘‘faster,”’ Down in her hold below,
Down under ice and snow, Down where the fires do glow, Roaring and hissing ;
There, two men watch and gaze Wa‘ch as the engine plays, Watch at the mighty maze, Not a thing missing !
Was there a heart dismayed, Was there a man afraid,
Was there a man that said, ‘*She’d never go through it ?’ Not one to reason why,
All there, to do or de;
All there to work and try, Yes; if they knew it.
Right through the mass she goes, Up high the ice she throws Stagvering at all the blows, Pounding and crushing. Oh! how we danced and cheered When past the dangers feared When our Island we had neared As on we came rushing.
We were landed safely at 6 o'clock p. m. at the Railway, at Geoegetown, and from there taken in charge by the active and ener- g tic Mr. Macgowan, who, in his palace car, brought us all roaring into Charlottetown.
