The campaign in the first district fol the congressional Republican nomina ton has been perhaps the most vigorous one in the history of the district. Every county has been closely contested. So far Mr.. Dunnell is ahead, but with not q vote to spare. If Cottonwood and Juck son are carried for Dunnell, as confidently expected by his friends, he will be nom mated ON the first ballot. Should they 60 against him, he has even then a fair show of success. We believe he will be nominated. No other man can take his place at this time. He is an experienced hand at the helm. and exerts an lnflu. ence such as no new man can. He will be of great advantage to this district this presidential year. His enemies are among disappointed aspirants tor ottice whose numbers always increase as con. gressman's life increases. If the friends Of Mr.. Dunnell stand manfuliy by him now that he needs an untlinching support he will be nominated.

The pro- gramme is very attractive one, and we feel sure that it cannot fail to please every one. 1t consists of choruses, songs, duets, Rotations, etc. We feel sure that our friends could not spend an evening more pleasantly and instructively, as these con- certs always afford the most enjoyable and delightful species of entertainment We hope to see the church filed to repletion on both nights. The admission is but % cents, and all who can do so should attend.

Inc planet venus has aH atmosphere, and 1t of our own earth. Then we learn also that oceans are on her surface, because it has been shown oy the spectrum. 1t appears also that it closely resembles our earth in condition, and that it is the one planet fit to be the abode OF living creatures like those which exist on the earth. In Mars we begin to recognize the effects OF planetary old age. These greenish patches we must regard as seas, and we find that they are much smaller in comparison to the rest OF the area than In our earth. On our own planet 100 Is covered with water, and on this only about 5000. The older planet has the smaller water surface, and the idea is suggested that in old age OF planet the waters gradually dimin- 1Sh In extent. We pass to the moon to answer that question, and here we certainly find no traces of water Also, we trace no atmosphere of appreciate density, and everything tends to show that she had water on her surface, but that it has disap- peared. Does this seemingly cold and dead world appear to have passed through the same stages as our own earth? think we cannot doubt this when we look at her volcanic craterS. think, too, there must have been there such life as exists on our own planet. There were oceans on her surface which formerly occupied these spots, which, the waters being withdrawn pre- sent this finely granulated appearance from Its action. This seems to be a natural explanation. AS the planet becomes Old the oceans become soaked into the planets interior, the crust of the surface as the planet cools being formed into large cavities such as exist in porous substances and into these the water Is withdrawn. DR.. Franklin, Of England, has shown that four times as much water as now finds place on the earth'S surface could be found room for in the interior of the EARTH when the process of cooling has gone sufficiently far. Then in regard to the at mosphere, there is certainly no trace on the moon, but we have picture here showing th

HE MANITEE OR SEA Cow.-It is stated that Barnum of the American Museum has offered $l0,O00 to the captors of this sin gular animal. The Charleston Mercury thus speaks of it: ''It is called the Sea Cow, and was cap. tured by MT. Clark, in St. Luce's Sound, South Florida, where they are often seen. The specimen is bull--the mate of it hav- ing been killed in the capture. It is about ten feet long, with a head not unlike that ot COW. It has on the breast two flippers. something like turtles, but armed with nails, The tail is fan shaped, the skin is smooth and of a lead color, and very thick. The flesh is eatable, and is said to taste like beef, and its vital organization, except in having t,oo hearts, approaches that of the COW. These creatures feed on the water grasses in inlets, after the manner of the hippotamus." The female animal. killed in the capture was about If feet long, and weighed l5OO pounds. Some years ago, during the Florida war Colonel Harney shot two of these animals in the Everglades.
