7He Comet of 1832.-The French journals have had much to say, these two years past, about the comet which is to make its appear ance in 1882. The German journals begin to a. muse their readers with the chimerical appre- hensions, which tho future appearance of this star may inspire. The fact is, that this comet might approach the earth much nearer tn n t actually will approach it, without furnishing the least ground for fear. It is known that in 1770, comet approached within 750,000 leagues of the earth, about nine times the dis tance of the moon and those who arc ac- quainted with astronomy have not forgot, that Lalande has computed 13,000 leagues to be the distance at which comet could produce any sensible Arrangement of our system. The fears, which these journals propagate, arise from this: that the Comet of 1892 will pass near the orbit of the earth (within diameters and half, 13 or 14,000 leagues) so that, if the earth be at that point of its orbit which shall be for an instant, near the Comet, some de- ranging phenomena may perhaps result; but this case is far from possible fer the year 1889.

 A citizen of Aix, M. Saillier, has in his pes session a great number of papyrus manuscripts; M. Champollion, the younger, who embark ed in 1929 from Marseilles for Egypt, has vi- sited this precious collection, and discovered that two of the rolls of papyrus contain The History of the zvars andreign of Sesostris the Greut. This MS. is dated, the ninth year of the reign ofthis monarch. Sesostris Rham- ses or the Great, according to the calculations of the German chronologists, lived in the time of Moses; he was the son, as they presume, of Pharaoh who perished in the Red Sea, while in pursuit of the Hebrews. The MS, which after Mfrty y-three ages of oblivion, M. Champollion has just recovered, as it were by miracle, may contain some details in rela. tion to the great events chronicled in Holy Writ, of an interest which can easily be ina gined. On the second of August, the acade-
