nhorescenit flash of apangles which some"tro» stirred into life for a single instant,- and- which-10,000-miles-of plrosphoresecrit -.seas and tedious lapse of timehad-isince ,> di'tn > inißhed to an incident utterly trivial in his recollection. Children occupying seats at the first table will be charged full fare.

(■■'• FIRBT-OXApg FARE, from the earth to including 'visits to | the sun and moon and all principal-planets-on.the route, will,'be charged at the low rate of 2dol. for every 50,000,000 miles of actual travel. A great reduction will be made where Tparties wish to make the round trip. This comet is new and in thorough repair, and is now on her first voyage. (She is confessedly the fastest on the line. She makes miles a day. with present facilities"; but, with a picked American crew aijd good weather, we. are confident we can get 40,000,000 out of her. Still we shall never push her to a, dangerous speed, and we shallrigidly prohil it racing with other cometß. Passengers desiring to diverge at any point or return will be transferred to other comets. We make close connections at all principal points with all reliable lines. Safety can be depended upon.' It is not to be denied that the heavens are infested with OLD HAMSHACKLE COMETS that have not been inspected or overhauled in 10,000 years, and which ought long ago to have been destroyed or turned into hall barges, but with these we have no connection - whatever. Steerage passengers not allowed abaft the main hatch. ! Complimentary round trip tickets have been tendered to General Butler, Mr Shepherd, Mr Richardson, and other eminent gentlemen, whose public services have en-titled-them to the rest and relaxation of a. voyage'of this kind. Parties desiring to make the round trip will have extra accommodation. • The entire voyage will."be completed,' and. the passengers landed in New York again, on the 14th of December, 1991. This is, at least, 40 years que :er than any oth r comet can do it in. Neirly all the back-pay members contemplate making the round trip with us in case their constituents will allow them a holiday. Every harmless amusement will be allowed on board, but no pools permitted on the run of the comet—no gambling of any kind. Affixed stars will be respected by us, but such st;irs as seem to need fixing we shall fix. If it makes trouble we shall be sorry, but firm. Mr Coggia having leased his comet to us, she will no longer be called by his name but by my partner's. N.B.—Passengers by paying double fare will be entitled to a share in all the new stars, suns, moons, comets, meteors, and magazines of thunder and lightning we shall discover. Patent medicine people will take notice that WE CARRY BULLETIN BOARDS and a paintbrush along with us for use in the constellations, and are open to terms.' Cremationhts are reminded that we arc going straight to—some hot places—and are open to terms. To other parties our enterprise is a pleasure excursion, but individually we mean business. We Shall fly our comet for all it is worth. FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS, or for freight or passage, apply on board, or to my partner, but not to me, since I do not take charge.of the comet until she is under way. ' It is necessary, at a time like this, that my mind should not be burdened with small business details. . . Mark Twain.
