AS THE season OF autumn commences,
the heat of the noen-day is relieved by the
GOODNESS of the evening and night, and there
is a strong temptation to sit out Of doors,
in, search of comfort. But the evening air
is damp, and heavily laden with the con,
densation Of the vapor which the SUMS
heat envolyed in the day time. The va
pors are, for breathing, simply malaria
or unwholesome air; and it must be high
state Of health which can breathe such air
with impunity, while the body rs in repoae.
The frame is exhausted with the work and
heat of the day, and is, therefore, pecu-
liarly susceptible. Sit in doors, or under
shelter, walk.

ANTARTIo research does mot keep pace,
with the exploration OF the artic reglons.
But little progress has been made during
the past quarter OF a century in the actual
investigation of the conditions ofthe Ant
artic regions. From information derived
from all sources up to the present, it may
be gathered that the. unpentrated area OF
4,7OO, 900 square miles surrounding the
South Pole is by no means continuous
continent, but consists, much more Probably,
partly of comparatively low continental
land and partly of series of continental
islands, bridged between and covered to a
depth Of about 1,4OO feet by acontinous ice
cap. As to the Ariic region, the question
whether it is possible that there can be at
all times or at any time anything in the
form of an open Polar sea seems to be vir-
tvally settled, and in the most unsatisfac'
tory manner imaginable. From the OBJ
seryations of Count Wilezek in 1871, and
Weyprecht and Payer in the following
year, and from those of DIR. Hayes in 1861
and Captain Mares in 1S75-76, it is evil
dent that the Polar Basin is neither oper
sea nor con tinous ice, but a fatal comp1o-
mise between the two; and there seems now
to be only'two plans, one nearly as hope
less as the other, to choose between in any
future attempt to reach the North Pole
either to establish permanent stations, a
proposed by Lieutenant Weyprecht, ant
already iniated at one point by Captain
Tyson and Captain Howgate, and to seiz
the opportunity drumming north in earl!
autumn from the station where the sea ap
pears most open, or to run as far north a
possible, at enormous expense, with grea
force Of men, and abundance of provision
and kerosene oil, and push northward du

Bulldog and wildcat.

A st. Louis gentleman, now in Vir-
ginia City, New, thus writes of a Sun
day evening in hat fourishing and ex-
cessively vivacious city:
Yesterday Sunday afternoon they
announced that a fight would come off
at the Alhambra, between the famous
bulldog Turk" and a huge wildcat.
The antecedents of both animals were
decidedly creditable. The dog, a
great, big, white fellow, with a neat
black patch oyer the left eye, and
heavy. o~yerhanging jaw, is considered
one of the gamest in the State. The
cats record as a killer is not bad.
1t was captured a few miles from here
by a farmer in a hen-rOOst. Time in
the roost, about one minute; number
of chickens slaughtered, thirty num-
Der in the roost, thirty. So there was
not many left. At the appointed
hour, amidst the breathless excite
ment of crowded house, the cat was
brought on the stage in a large wooden
cage, which took up nearly the whole
stage, and was arranged so that all
could view the combat; a magnificent
animal, looking very much like a fero-
cious small tiger, weight about forty
pounds. Then the dog was brought in
and was placed in the cage through a
hole in the top, which was then closed.
Hostilities commenced Immediately.
and for about four minutes things were
lively inside of that cage. The dog
got the cat by the throat and tried to
choke him, but the cat Just clawed
that canine until he fairly yelped with
pain. All of a sudden the scene Of
operations was enlarged, for one Of
the Stats gave way, and the wildcat
with one bound sprang clear into the
midst of the audience. Then there
was a stampede, in which chairs.
benches and musical instruments col
badly mixed up. Fortunately beyond
a few bruised shins and badly demon
allied corns, nobody was hurt. The
wildcat was captured after he had
taken refuge under some benches, and
returned to the box, not much the
worse from the fight, and a renewal Of
hostilities is promised for next Sun
day."

AFTER THE OFFICERS.
Candidates for Positions to be Filled by
the Next Legislature, and TO be
Appointed by the Governor,

Nashville Banner, 2lst.J
From what we learn here and there
the prospect for a large crop of candi-
dates before the next general assembly
is exceedingly bright, 1t seems that
almost yother man hereabouts, and
a yerylargenumber scattered through
out the State, have their eye set on
some particular office, and from the
way some are working to secure the
position it looks like a ground hog case
with them. The principal place to be
secured, and decidedly the richest, is
the comptroller's office. The present
incumbent, Colonel Gaines, is a can
didate for reelection. James 7. Bell,
late County Court clerk, is also a can
didate, and there will be fully half a
score more by the time the day of the
election arrives, and the members will
be well button holed. The superin-
tendent Of public instruction IS ap-
pointed by the governor, Colonel
Trousdale will apply for the place, and
DR.. Clark, of Williamson, is also an
applicant. Mr.. Dean, superintendent
Of the public schools Of Bedford
county, is also booked as a candidate.
eoloRel Edward Sheegog, Of Maury,
Major Glover, present incumbent, w.
Matt Brown, ST., and John P, Hick-
man are the candidates, as far as heard
from, for superintendent of the capitol
and the capitol-gr0unds.
The treasurers Office is TO be filed
at the next term, but we have heard of
no applicants, and from present indica-
tons it will be a walk-oyer for Colonel
Polk, the incumbent.
The State librarian is to be elected,
for which a number of ladies are urg-
ing their claims, and tho gentlemen
are also after tho place.
There Is a host Of candidates for
speaker Of the house Representatives
and thus far we have only heard Of
one candidate for speaker of the sem
ate, Hon, X. w. Ewing, of Giles.
A large field will 90 for principal
clerk of the house, while Ed Hickman
and a Mr.. Rivers will try their luck
for clerk of the senate.
There will be no lack Of candidates
for every Office by the time the legisla-
ture meets,

THE ROGERS CAYW0OD OUT
LAWS.
The MisCreants Still Hiding in the ViCln-
ity Of TazeweIl-- Prospects Of
their Capture.

BRIsToL, Tenn, November II, 1873.
Intelligence has been received here
from Tazewell which leaves no doubt
of the presence of the Rogers aywood
party in Powelrs valley. Their fight,
as telegraphed to the Herald, was
true, but the publicity given to their
torture and murder of Ed jackson so
aroused public opinion that they be-
came alarmed at the almost certainty
of failure in getting out Of the country
and so returned clandestinely to Clai-
borne county. They have since been
harbored and concealed by political
friends in Powells valley, their home
being within twenty miles Of the scene
of murder.
MOVEMENTS REPORTED.
The 5000 reward also had the eff
feet of alarming them and they came
into Tazewell the night Of the 9TH
inst. 1t was then rumored they had
escaped via South Carolina to Canada.
but they again were seen in Tazewell
the night Of the 18th, though they
had previously made a show Of lsay-
ing in the direction of Morristown.
There is very little doubt that they
are now concealed within ten miles Of
Tazewell, and though the Kentuck-
ians are fruitlessly hunting them, ex-
pert and bold detectives could cap
ture them in less than a week. They
are drinking o%utrageously, and while
they would be dangerous when fore
warned, a bold dash would easily take
them during their drunken reyelry.
They are sure to slip into Tazewell
again under cover Of darkness and
will doubtless lead a fugitive life
several weeks in the hills Of Claiborne
until severe weather sets in and then
attempt to escape to the Pacific coast.
Public sentiment is now strongly
aroused against them, and but for
their influence with the present
officials Of the county their capture
and surrender to Kentucky and their
speedy execution would soon follow.
