THE SOLAR SYSTEM AMENDED

The impulse which astronomical science has
received during the last half century is something
truly wonderful, Even the telescope, vastly as its
powers have been increased, is found insufficient
to reveal the existence of heavenly bodies which
are demonstrated by the vigorous applca.
ton of mathematical analysis. The telescope
has enabled us, it is true, to extend our
system, by the addition Of the planet Uranus
and the numerous asteroids lying between Mars
and Jupiter but it required the grand efforts of
higher genius, the grasp of mighty intellectual
conceptions, aided by the powerful alliance of
mathematical science, to reveal the planet lie
Yerrier, hidden in the depths of space, and wait
ing to be calculated into sight.
In this case the telescope confirmed the deduc-
tons of science and the skillful application of
mathematical law. The planet revealed itself to
the inquiring astronomer as soon as his cal
culations had enabled him to fix its place
But there is now another instance of the same
kind before the astronomical world, in which
the telescope has not yet come to the aid
OF the discoyerer lie Yerrier, the same as
tronomer that calculated the existence of the
eKtFa-U Fanian planet has declared that he basrea
son TO believe etunreYeaIed planets circulate
within the orbit Of Mercury at only short dis
lance from the sun. These Ethiopians Of the
solar system cause an irregularity in the move
ments Of Mercury which the known forces are
not sufficient to explain The influence of
the other planets on Mercury is computable
but that influence ID not sufficient to account for
certain progressive change in the orbit Of the
planet under consideration. lie verrier's ealcu.
Iati0ns lead him to believe that the cause Of the dis
turbances IL ID certain planetary masses lying
nearer than Mercury to the sun. These as yet hid,
den masses gil up real gap in the solar system,
and re-establish the harmony Of calculation and
observation. EEga
Were these planets discovered, says the Chicago
Republican, it would not be the first time that a
material discovery has confirmed purely speeu-
lative presumption. Uranus, Neptune and many
Of the asteroids, have thus been found. In 1859,
n lie yerrier, whose calculations had, thirteen
years previously, led to the discovery Of Neptune,
announced that the direction of Mercury's orbit
underwent secular changes which would be mex
plieable unless the action of disturbing masses,
circulating between Mercury and the sun, were
admitted.
Such planets, however, if they exist, must, under
ordinary circumstances, remain unseen. Mercury,
whose distance from the sun is but about q third
OF the mean distance from the earth to,that body
stoo near It for easy observation. Drowned in
the fires Of the central star, it could formerly be
seen but when the sun was collapsed or just below
the horizoni now, however, with improved tele-

scopes it may also be seen in the daytime along
side the sun, especially when it is so placed as to
bsseeu in profile,
But these smaller planets can only be seen at
the time Of total eclipse, or when turning their
backs to us, they pass before the sun. Then only
the hemisphere where night prevails is seen, and
the planet shows itself the luminous disk OF the
sun like small spot, exceedingly black and per
fecty circular, passing slowly from east to west
This phenomenon of the passage Of Mercury can
occur only when the planet is in the same right
line with the earth and sun, which happens but in
the months of May and November.
These intra-mercurial planets, continues the Re
publican, should, since they make two revolutions
around the sun for every one of Mercury appear
twice as frequently. Many persons have believed
that they have seen the spots which indicate the
existence of these planets, but unfortunately the
greater part of these observations cannot stand a
rigorous examination. For instance, in 1859, NJ
Lesoarbault, while observing the suns surface
saw near the circumference perfectly black
round spot, whose diameter he estimated at quar-
ter of that of Mercury. He communicated the de-
tails to the Academy of Science, and the supposed
new planet was named Vulcan. Searches, ac-
lively continued since 1859, however, have failed
to rediscover this planet and its existence is still
problematical. .--
The question, therefore, of the existence of intra
mercarial planets is yet undecided; and in the
meanwhile this void in the solar system pointed
out by LIE Verrer still exists

TIE SOLDIERS BENEVOLENT ORGANIZATIONS.
The resolutions introduced BY Col. zacharie, and
adopted on Saturday evening, at the meeting Of
Gibson's brigade, must commend themselves to
the favorable consideration Of every one Of the
organizations now being perfected to assist the
crippled and bring home for honorable sepulture
the remains Of the gaAant dead. The proposition
is simply that the ssyeral organizations shall
send delegates to general soldiers convention,
to perform the duNss collectively they are now
trying to perform indfgidually. The advantages
Of suth combination are 50 obvious that it is I'M
necessary to dwell upon them. All competition in
collecting funds from citizens will be avoided and
the moneys received will be made to secure larger
results thanif each association should continue to
Iabor separatelY.

The Thibodaux Sentinel, OF Saturday, says the
Bayou Lafourche is falling at the rate of about
one inch in twenty-four hours. The same Journal
reports a considerable damage to crops by the
storm of last Tuesday, but the Sentinel remarks
" In the parish of Assumption it seems that more
damage was sustained from the fury of the hail
storm than in any other parish that the furious
wind, hail and pelting rain visited. In the parish
just named several sugar houses, saw mills, cane
sheds barns and fences were blown down. We
have also learned that serious injuries have been
done on Mr.. I. Bs's plantation, in the parish of
Terrebonne, by the late Storm

like invitation to the denzens of our crowded and
heated metropolis in the following terms
Now is the appropriate season, in the country
parishes, for parties and pic-nics. Now is the
time when the g fashionables' who have spent the
winter and early part of spring in cities have a
yearning for changing the scenes of their pleas
ures, and find that " the escape from civic revelry
to rural mirth is sweet and refreshing. Another
fact that must be taken into consideration is this
the weather at all seasons is much cooler in the
country than in the city. Let our friends pay US
visit and attend one of the parties given here, and
they will readily coincide in our opinion that sur.
prise parties are quite appropriate in the country
at the present season OF the year and the parties
given in Lafourche are as gay, lively and select as
any given in any other part Of the State.
