Conjunction Of the Planets Mcrcury
and Venus.

and Venus
One OF the beautiful sights in the western heav-
ems will be the conjunction OF the planets Mercury
and Venus on the 30th Of this month. The former
planet is not often visible to the naked eye, but
upon the above date it will follow the sun one hour
and fortytwO minutes of time. and will be visible
for at least one hour after sunset. The con1unc-
tion will happen at O'Clock am. OF the 3Oth, but
the ordinary observer will be unable to detect any
change in their distances ON the evenings of the
29th and 3Oth, {and even for two days before and
two after, when Mercury will be one degree and
forty-three minutes OF arc tor three and quarter
d1ameters Of the sun) to the west northwest of
venus. Mercury arrives at It's greatest elongation
tWenty-three and q half degrees east from the sun
on the 1st OF June at II O'clock m so that It may
be considered equally distant from the sun (Or the
ord1Dary observer) on the evenings OF May 81 and
June !. Mercury precedeS Venus, and Is little
over one diameter OF the sun north of her. The
apparent diameter OF Mercury will be eleven sec
onds OF arc, and OF Venus twelve seconds OF arc;
put the Illuminated part of Mercury is not quite
one,half OF the disc, whilst Venus exhibits fully
n1ne-tenths OF her disc. so that with small field
Telescope Mercury will appear as juvenile half
1ull moon, and Venus as a nearly full moon.
good opera glass Will show both planets very bril-
antly, and 1t is not unlikely that when the plan
cts approach the horizon they will present the pris-
matte color5 In vertical spectrum, instead OF
pure white light, on account OF the decomposition
OF the white light by the refraction OF the prism
OF air through which the rays Of light pass.

Representative Manning, of Mississippi, has re-
ceived letter from Representative A. s. Hewittin
reference to Gen. Chalmers letter to the Memphis
Appeal, wherein he quoted Mr.. Hewitt as having
said In the Democratic caucus on his {ChalmersD
case that sif it was a contest between two white
men they could afford to flibuster, but being a
contest between a colored and white man, they
could not afford to do it." Mr.. Hewitt says he
was not at the caucus. and. therefore, could not
have made the expression quoted; but that he is
informed that, at the advice OF Mr. House, of Ten
neSSee, and other Southern democrats, the caucus
decided not to resort to fiibusterng and that the
loss OF General Chalmers seat is not therefore, to
be charged to the Northern democrats
