1.-The Moonshiners,

might be condensed into presentable

out IN "earlsome length through series
OF teolous and uninterestlng dialogue
Its treatment is thoroughly common

THE EARTH WILL DIE.
What the Noted French Astronomer
Snva of the Earth.


Says of the Earth.
Camille Flammarion, the noted astrono-
mer, says: The earth has been born and
it will also die. 1t will come to an end
either through old age, when its vital ele-
ments have been exhausted, or from the
extinction of the sun, upon whose rays its
life depends. 1t may also end accident
ally, from collision with some heavenly
body encountered on its course, but that
end Of the world is Of all the most improb-
able.
1t may die a natural death by the slow
absorption of its vital element, and, in
truth, it is probable that air and water are
both diminishing, for oceans and the at
mOsphere seem formerly to have been
much more extensive than now. Water
has penetrated the terrestrial crust and
combined chemically with the rocks, and
the oxygen, nitrogen and carbonic acid
composing our atmosphere seem also
to be undergoing a slow absOrp-
tiOn. Through the mist of fu-
ture ages the thoughtful person may
foresee the earth growing cold in the sleep
of death, having been deprived of its at
mosphere, which, like the Vapors offs green
house, protect it against the glacial bleak
ness of space. From the summit of noun
tains eternal SHOWS will descend like a
shroud over the great table lands and val
leys, driving before them life and ciVihza-
ton, and covering forever the cities and
nations in their path. Life and human
activity will gradually be contracted be-
tween the tropics; st. Petersburg, London,
Paris, Vienna, Constantinople, and Rome
will fall to sleep in succession under an
eternal shroud. For many centuries equa-
torial humanity will undertake useless
arctic expeditions in search Of Paris, Lyons,
Bordeaux, and Marseilles. The shores of
n Of hn aorAE Eunys1I Io
changed. Life and respiration will have
ceased, except in the equatorial zone, till
the last day when the last tribe, already
half dead with cold and hunger, will sit
down upon the shores Of the only re-
naming sea, under the rays of
pale sun that henceforth, here beleW,
will only give light to moving tomb, re-
volVing around body whose light and
heat are useless. Overcome by cold, the
last human family is touched by the finger
of death and its bones are buried beneath
eternal ice.
In future ages the historian may write:
"Here lies all mankind and a world that
has lived Here lie all dreams of ambi-
ton, all glorious military conquests, all fa-
nous financial transactions, all the systems
of an imperfect science, and all vows of
mortal love- Here lie all the beauties of
the earthW But no mOrtuary monument
will mark the spot where the poor planet
breathed its last sight.
Perhaps the earth will last till the ex-
tinction of the sun. That would not alter
our fate; we would still die of cold, only
the process of extinction would be pro-
longed. In the first case a few million
years, in the second, twenty or thirty
million years, or perhaps more, would
bring the end of the world but it is only
matter of time. Humanity will have been
transformed both physically and morally
long before reaching its apOgee and long be-
fore its decadence.

1t is recommended that the republican
county central committees call the prima-
ries in their respective counties for Satur-
day the twenty-third (23d) day of July,
and the county conventions for Saturday
the thirtieth (3Oth) day of July, 1892, un-
less in their judgment they deem it best to
name earlier dates.
1t is also recommended that each county
convention elect alternates as well as dele
gates, so that their representation in the
state convention shall be by duly elected
delegates or their alternates only. In case
a delegate and his alternate are both absent,
the delegation to be authorized to cast the
vote.
For the formation of county and precinct
committees we respectfully refer to the
"rules" and ask that they be followed.

The Situation in the Third District,

At this writing 34S of the 3S1 delegates to
the Sd District Republican Convention at
Watervile, July 9TH, have been elected, and
it is safe to predict that the result will be
the denomination of Mr., MilIiken. The dele
gates already chosen are divided among the
four candidates as follows: Millken 16l Bur
leigh IS, Wiswell y, and Manley p. 1t will
take 1871 to nominate. To-day Mr. Milliken
lacks just thirty votes of majority. Adding
to his delegates the y credited to Mr. Man
ley. and who will 60 to Mr. Milliken sooner
or later, he lacks but 3 of clear majority
Thirty-three delegates remain to be elected,
and it is reasonable to suppose that Mr..
Mlliken will get more than the requisite
number.
Mr.. Burleigh has made strong fight, but
may now be considered out of the race
Mr. Milliken did not invade Hancock coun-
ty, but conceded it to Mr.. Wiswell. Had he
made fight there as did Gov. Burleigh, he
could have taken votes from Mr.. Wiswell
AS there is no doubt about the nomination
of Mr.. Reed in the LIST District, the Maine
dele CATION in Congress will be the same as
it has been in the past, and it ranks the
highest of any delegation in the two houses
of Congress.
