The Evening Star.

llnllutiIllI Il lllcs.I
The planet Mercury is now visible imme-
diately after sunset. 1t will increase in
brilliancy as it recedes from the sun until
it arrives at its greatest elongation, on the
Dist instant. Mercury was so named by
the ancients because of the rapidity Of its
movements. Though its diameter is only
one third that OF the earth, its day is a little
longer. The year of Mercury is equal TO
eighty-four of our days. 1t has seasons
like ours, but Of course much shorter. No
vegetation familiar TO us would thrive
there. The spectroscope shows that Mer-
curry has an atmosphere charged with aque-
GUS vapOr. Through the telescope the
planet exhibits all the changes Of the moon,
from new TO full. Its density is greater
than the earth's.
The astronomer COpernicus lived i'm Il
country containing vast number Of water
courses. In consequence the atmosphere
was so charged with vapor as to obscure
stars near the horizon. He never saw
Mercury, and on his death-bed nc lamented
this as a great deprivation. Transits of
Mercury are comparatively frequent, but
are not OF much Use to astronomers. 1t
has mountains OF remarkable height, and
1t was from observing them that its period
OF rotation was established. 1t will pass
the sun and become morning star on Feb
r,mry 9th.

tered the bar-room. after hitching his horse
to a post outside. The man drank some
liquor, and then requested Marvin Me-

the shed and searched under the carriage

his hand came in contact with q corpse,
which was doubled up and covered with a
cloth. Mr.. McChesney examined the body
az well as the darkness would permit, and
found IL 70 be that of a man, nearly nude.
and with wliskers. Being somewhat SUI
perStitous, and not knowing what to do,
McChesney allowed the man TO depart with
bis CHASTITY load, taking the road toward
Troy. Opinion as to whether there has
been a grave-robbery or murder Is di-

accompanied by friend named Hay.

to wake the Judge, and he would be back
directly to get his ticket. Captain McCool
went to forward car, and had been there
but few minutes when Hayden came
rushing up to him with the information
that the Judge was not sleeping but was
dead. Captain McCool, who IL doctor as

and found that II was even so. The Judge
was sitting bolt upright in the seat, his
chin resting on his breast, stone dead. The
body was laid out in the baggagc-car and q
Telegram was sent TO Gainesville notifying
his family OF his. death, and on the arrival
OF the train at that place the body was met
by large party OF sympathizing friends.
