The transit of Venus, or the passage
Of that planet between the earth and the
sun, occurred yesterday in accordance
with the program set down by the as
tronomers, and during brief season Of
sunshine between 10 and II O'Clock, was
plainly yisabie here and was viewed by
many of our citizens through the con-
venient medium Of smoked glass. The
planet presented the appearance Of a
small black spot about the size of wal
nut, on the SUMS disc, and as the phen-
omenon will not occur again until the
7th of June, 2o04, or 1872 years from now,
it was deemed prudent by persons OF
scientific predictions 90 avail them
selves of an opportunity which is not
likely 10 be afforded again within the
period of their earthly sojourn.
Tue event was one of peculiar interest
TO Astronomers, and great preparations
we're made for its observation in all
quarters of the globe, with view OF de-
lernining many points which will be of
great value to such as live among the
stars and make their evoluticns source
of perpetual research.
The peTicdicity of these transiis IS so
we'll understood that the time of their
occurrence can be calculated TO the hour
and the minute. II has already been
determined that in the thirtieth century,
for instance, a transit will occur at %
minutes and 80 seconds after O'Clock
on the morning Of June 18th, 1876, and
That it Will be followed by another at
precisely 2 minutes and % seconds after
3 O'Clock OF the afternoon of June 14th,
29S4. As TO the cause of all this
commotion, Venus herself, the old
theory that this planet has no atInOs-
phere has been exploded as well as that
other long prevalent superstition that il
was uninhabitable. The size of Venus
has been determined as about that of
the earth, and the atmosphere surround
ing il is calculated to be twice as dense;
the climate is of the very violent order,
embracing the two extremes of heat and
cold, without any zone of intermediate
modification. There are monstrous
mountains and frequent and terrible
tempests. The year there is shorter
than here by over one-third. or, to speak
more definitely, hundred years on the
earth equal hundred and sixty.two
years on Venus. During one part of the
year the sun does not rise there for sew
eral days. at another period it does not
set for several days, and the rest of the
time it remains perpendicularly over
head, very much larger in disc than it
appears to US. 1t has never been deter
mined with any sort of satisfaction as 10
what sort of people, if any, inhabit We
nus; life is possible there, scientists
know, but further than that they are
unable to say.

A Good Man for speaker.

In the discussion relative 70 the speak
ership of the next house of the Kansas
legislature several gentlemen have been
named for that position. But theie is
yet another gentleman whose name we
take pleasure in suggesting. We allude
to w. w. Scott, Esq, of Lyon county,
Perhaps there ara few men in the state
Who are the equal of Mr.. Scott in point
of legal ability and who possess that
versatility of powers necessary 70 a sue
cessful presiding officer. This gentle
man enjoys the high compliment of hav.
ing received the greatest majority Of any
one elected TO the incoming legislature
and we believe our Legislators would
honor themselves as we'll as duly &C,
knowledge the ability of a worthy gentle
man by electing Mr.. Scott speaker OF this
of the next house.-Florence Herald.
Mr.. Scott possesses all the qualifica
tions ascribed to him by the Herald, anC
would amply grace the position TO
which he has been named by our dis
eliminating contemporary.

CHANGE OF FIRM.
Osborne q jeremy are Succeeded By
Jeremy q GrImth.

Osborne q Jeremy are Succeeded by
jeremy q GrImth.
For some time past arrangements,
which are now complete, have been
pending looking toward change in the
business which, until now, has been con-
Quoted by Osborne & Jeremy.
The interest Of the former gentleman
has been purchased by w. r. Griffith,
who thus ssociaies himself IN the new
firm to be known as that of Jeremy 8
Griffith.
While both are young in years, they are
old in the experience and training re-
CURED in this branch of business life.
r. W. Jeremy, the remaining partner.
has been in the stove and linware line
here for five years and since April, 1880,
has been in partnership with Mr.. A G.
Osborne, and is well known and liked
by the people of this town and the sur
rounding country. In connection with
Mr. Osborne he has built up large re-
tail and extensive wholesale trade, the
old firm having held the increasing con-
fdence and patronage of this vicinity.
Neither does the new member require
any formal introduc tion at our hands to
the residents of this part of the state. Mr..
Griffith has literally grown up a Kan
san, coming here mere child as far
back as 1855, his parents in that year To-
eating in Fort Scott. He afterwards
went TO Topeka, and in the spring of
1871 came 10 Emporia and entered the
hardware store of ]. NJ. Griffith s. Co.,
then located on Fourth avenue. In
1876 he became part
ner in that frn, where
he remained till few months since, st
the time the Grifiths sold out their in
tercsts TO Blair s. Gillett. Mr.. Griffith,
alias Billy" has been one of our most
energetic and enterprising business men
Tor years, and we are glad to see him
again in the trade.
The new firm will carry on the bust
ness as before, embracing stoves and tin
ware, gas fitting, steam and water fit
ting, cornices, furnaces, &c, at the old
and eligible stand, number 1875 CONNER
cial street.
Mr.. A. G. Osborne, the selling men,
Der came here in 1878 an entire stranger
and is we'll pleased with the excellent
business he has been the means of ex
tending and building up. he likes
Kansas and its people and feels
that he has made many warm
friends here. He has large
family of boys whom he is anxious 10
start in the stock and grain business
He has purchased the large and desira-
BILE BoOrey farm on Dow creek, ten
miles north OF Emporis, and in few
weeks will move thereon. He can now
after years Of faithful labor in the bust
ness he is leaving, feel the truism in
the words OF the Arizonian who says.
Il have said. and say it ever,
AS the years go on
And the world goes over,
'Twere better to be content and clever
In the tending of cattle
And the growing of grain,
Than strong man
Striving for tame or gain"
We wish the retiring partner and the
new firm much joy and prosperity.

full attendance. The subject of"Obsiet

and the meeting is pronounced to have
been one of the most interesting and prof

proper discussion of such important sub

night is certain to result advantageous
IL TO the mass of mankind. The science
of human life is the most sublime prob

who delve deepest into the great CUES

generally and ably discussed, are the
ones who will succeed best IL their prae-

banded themselves together for thor
