TaARSrr or MERcuRY.-The transit OF
Mercury, which occurred yesterday, was
looked forward 10 with much interest BY
he astronomical world, its accurate OBJ
seryation being Of special Importance As
aifording data which will be decisive OF
he question whether the result Of Le
Verrier, that the motion Of the perihelion
OF Mercury Is much greater than that due
10 the action OF the known planets, Ia
really correct.
The transit being visible here, DR.. E.
E. Worthen put his large telescope In
position on the top Of his house, and
made careful observations during the day.
The first external contact occurred, in a..
Economical reckoning, May 8, 22h. An.
os. Washington mean tme-that is four
minutes past 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, civil reckoning. The point Of the
suns limb at which the contact occurred
was As deg. from the north point toward
The east or following limb. Two
or three minutes after the first entry Of
the planet upon the suns disc, the second
(internal) contact occurred. The egress
Of the planet began at 5:S5 P. NJ, the
transit thus occupying about seven hours
and half 10 It's passage. =
Transits OF Mercury are much more
frequent than those Of Venus, the average
interval being less than ten years. Thus
Yesterdays transit will be followed by 9th.
ers in 1881 and 81, while after the transit
OF Venus in 1882 none will occur until q
004. No previous transit OF Mercury has
ever aroused the attention Of observers
like the one whose advent occurred yes.
terday, for il Is hoped that its observa.
tion will help in the solution Of several
important problems, especially In deter.
mining the orbit Of Mercury, in throwing
more light on the question Of an intra-
Mercurial planet, and in furnishing data
for renewed estimates Of the suns dis
lance.

That little rascal known as "Jef."
Davis, who escaped from the city prison
some days ago, was recaptured last night,
at the Capitol building, by Officer St,
Myers. When JEFF. saw the officer alter
him he ran up stairs 10 the rool Of the
building, and hid himself between the
ratters and the ceiling Of the State Library
room. The officer procured a lantern
and fished him out.
