Every one who can re member the events of twenty-five years ago, will recollect the consternation into which fye good prop'e of Taris wcro thrown by the predictions of certain French eslono mers relative to the expected collision of a comet with tho earth about that time. Many serious accidents occurred in coos. quence, and so utter was Ihe dread inspired among that excitable people, that the as tronomers issued a circular demonstrating all their fears to be groundless. History records tho . appearance of a luminous comet immediately after the assassinaiioit of Julius Caspar, n. c. 43, and his interested friends took the occasion to impftes. the Roman people with the belief doubtless nn easy task that tin's was ilio'apoihcosi f Cmsar, and thenceforward he was rccs- orn-d nmnng tho gods.
