Orl-oas. NEW Oiti.BAMH, Merell 14. 1885. Mit. EDITOR : At your kind suggestion I will give you a short sketch of our trip to this center of attraction. On Tues dty afternoon, 10th inst., we left Ander don with a party of twenty-eight in a special through car. "Oo the .arrival cd the up traiu we were j dited by a paru of eleven, making thirty nine in ali. We arrived without accident on schedule time in Atlanta, where* our car waa at tached to a train just ready to leave .for Montgomery, over tbe Atlanta dc Weat Point Hoad, where we arrived the next morning for breakfast. Nothing oe curred beyond the usual incidents td railroad travel until after wc passed Mo bile. After we passed thu point (at S o'clock p. m.) the scenery became grand indeed, and far beyoud my power to de scribe, so I will uot attempt a description. Suffice it to say that we were running ali the way along the Gulf of Mexico. We arrived iu luis city nt 7 J o'clock Wednes day evening, having bern on the mau only 27 hours sud traveled C50 miles. The Louisville & Nashville Road land its passengers at the foot of Canal street, io the beart of the city, where strte; cara are available for any point. Our party from Anderson concluded to go in a body to Caoal Street Hotel, and after a churl ride we were soon de posited at our quarters. The prico ol board being more than we expected, sev eral of oar number lett the next morning to Sud cheaper rates. I am located with Capt. Daniels aud wife and Mr. Tolly at 157 Osllipe street. We could not bavt fatleu into better bands bad we searched the city over. Our hostess ia kind, obliging and sociable, sud exerts berseli to make our sojouru pleasant; and attrac tive. In fact, it is the most home-like place I have ever stopped st in a strange city. The rooms are well furuisbed, and the fair first-class, and all for $1.50 per day. Of course, we have been to the Expo aitiou. The first day we went hurriedly through thc dover um ent aud Main build ing, and although I have beard and read au much about tho Exposition, I must say that it far exceeded my expectation. Io the afternoon at Music Hall io tbe Main building I had ibe pleasure of li* toning to Mr. Luther Benson and ex* Gov. St. John on the subject of temper ance. Thia ia temperance week here, ! and all the distinguiahed workers in tbs | United States are present. The second day I also heard addresses from Mies ? Franois ?Villard, of Illinois, Mrs. La throp, of Michigan, Col. Bain, o?* Ken tucky, aud many others. Miss Willard is certainly one of the most attractive speakers I have ever listened to, but the pleasure of her eloquent address was very greatly marred by her concluding rem ur Ls, ?dvocaiiug the right of suffrage to the women of the couti try. * To-day (Saturday) bad been set apart1 as Tennessee's day,'and the rostrum iu Music Hull was filled with the members of the Legislature sud tuauy other dis tiuguiabed tueu of that State. Addresses were delivered by several prominent gentlemen from the State interspersed r Ith music furnished by the Mexican I band of 65 pieces. It is almost worth a i trip to New Orleans to hear thia band. The ceremonies of thu day bavo juBt closed with the fint-st display uf fire works I have ever reen. Now a few word J ia reference to the boarding houses /ind the way to reach them,.and I will conclude this uusatii? factory letter. I bave heard a great deal said about the exhorbitaat charges for board, aud that a person must start with a pocket-full ol money if they expect to be comfortably quarterei and see the sigut*. I om prepared ti say after my own experience, and tko experience of others of our party., tl at these assertions are not true. Of course, if parsons put up ai the St. Charles they may oxpect to pay SL Charles prises, and if they ex pect to be taken in by every ca cb penny show they had better atart with a well filled purse. Good beard and comforta ble quarters can be bad for $1.50 to $2 60 j per day. Good roams can be rented for j $1 00 per day. The beds will ascommo date two persons, making the lodging cost 50 cents each per night, provided two persons are willing to occupy the same bed. Coming down the river yes terday afternoon on tbe elegant steam- ; boat (Clinton) tba derk informed me that be would furnish board and lodging on the boat for $2.00 per day, besides giving a free passage to and from the Exposition every day. Dinner wasbelog served ss- we come down, and I went tb rough the dining ball and found that the fare was all that the most exacting epicure could demand. The fare on boat to the ?xpositiou is 25 cents for round j trip, which really makea the board only $1.76 per day. The street cor fare to tbe ! grounds is 5 cents each way, and access- j ible from any portius of tba oity. I would advise every one who can poa* j elbly do so to take the trip to New, Or leans, as the opportunity to see the whola 1 world may not occur again In a life time. 1 L. p. a - ' Now. Johnnie," said the teacher. "If your father borrows $100 aud promise?'"to pay $10 a week, bow much will be owe lu seven weeksf "One hundred dollars" said Johnnie. "I'm afraid you don't know your leeson very well," remarked the teacher. "I may not know my lesson very well." Johnnie frankly acknowledged, "but I know asy lather." - "Poor John waa m fond* of gamb ling," said a bereaved widow- "His last bat wa? $50 that he could eat 800 clams tn twenty mloatse." "Did ha win the bet IT ''Y**. be won tba bet," sighed the widow, "bot the money didn't do us any good. It took avery cent of it to bury hiss."

Yt Ip ?oia Mew Orltui to Tex**. From New Orleans westward, we passed through the cane growing region of Louisiana, the laud of sugar, rich .?weet and desolate. Negroes and mules and scrub horses and dirty, dingy aban iic3 along the line. The places whore thc sugar planters used to live are there, the ruins of old mansions set back in untrimmed groves, and the housesof the old slaven near by unoccupied and tumb ling to the ground. Hardly a white man >. to be seen between the ataliuns, but when the stations are reached we seo the smoke stack of a sugar mill and nome tew signs of civilization and comfort. 2 was told that their vast sugar plantations have all changed hands, sud now belong to northern men who had mortgages on them for money loaned before tbe war. All they can do with then? is to lease or rent to negroes, for the climate is not in viting to the Southern whites, and they will not go there. Texas is not far away, tud has a better name. I crossed the Sabin?. Hiver (or the first time and f mn-' myself upon tho soil of thia wonderful ?jute. I paved through Houston io the light, and on to Waco, which ac<o ding "j Waco people, is the- center of Tex ss ?nd the world. An old Georgian said io me, if you wi) draw u circle within a mildred miles ri iius around Waco, you will have tho fiu it territory in Texas or .in the globe, A man at Fort Worth ?aid about thc same thing about that 'own, and a Denison man declared that Denison wus the bead center. I find that every man is for his i anted?ate sec tiou, and all are foi Texas. They fight Hid fuss over free grass and wire cuttiog and foreign monopolies, hut they are all fur Texas. Well, it is a wonderful country. When a Georgia farmer owns tony or fitly acres of neb bottom land .io some creek or river, be feels like a Ring, and his neighbors are envious of aim, but here you ere never out of sight >f better land than that. Aa your train moves along there is a boundless atrip of it on either side and hardly a tree or a fence or a bouse is to be seen. It is all <n cultivation or in pasture. I aaw a nouse away off, a dark little house with i s hid roo m and a stove pipe sticking out of the roof and was told that was where the owner or the renter of 2,000 acres dved. There are no ioviting country homes, no painted hot te*, no fences or ornaments, no good b?rnn, no nothing , much, bul land and scrub bones aud poor cattle. Every maa nf pretensions ir ambition seems to live in the town. There ere uo groves to build in the country and they can't wait for nh nd o ireea to grow, and no they live on as they begun wbeu they first bought or settled <n primitive simplicity-this is the case wiibiu that 100 mile circle around Waco. I But their farmers make a world of muff to coll. I met a mao at Wax) who came , . rom Floyd County sixteen years ago ?bea be ?as just married. He was wurtb nothing there but one old wagon j ?nd a yoke of steers-I bave bought many a load of wood Irom him when he , ! waa a poor back woods boy and I always , Celt sorry for him, for he looked pitiful j ind overworked. That boy managed io " <et here with bis young wife, and rented ?and a few miles from Waco. He now twns 1,400 acres of good land aud bas 4?t to be rich from farming and stock raising. Ile has a daughter at college ind I was informed paid laxes on $42, 100. He worked bard, very bard to make the first thousand dollars, aud after that be bad no trouble; my opinion is ibut if be bad stayed in Georgia be would have been hauling wood now. The reason is plain, lu Georgia he and , ils wife would have wanted to live in a decent borne and wear decent clotbesaud ceep up with tho neighbors in appear suce, and when their kinfolks come to iee them they must put up tbe-be-it they could get, and so they kept on a strain all the time. Out here ihey lived in a shanty and could eat with their fingers md go barelnoud half the lime und dress in cheap chilling and there were , ; uo kinfolks or uaur neighbor, and besides I ibe laud was better and: there waa more of it, aud the cuttle increased aud coal .iothiug to feed thurn Winier or Summer, l'b'-s Floyd Count; boy told me he sold ?MO bead of bogs and 200 head of beef cattle In Wacolarx Christmas and hs bad as many more at home to eell now. I ' saw the Montgomery boya at Fort Worth. One of them stays out ou the prarie 800 miles further west and baa 2,500 bead of callie. He ia 100 miles from a railroad and lives in a dug out, aod sees nobody but cowboys all the year round. But hu is geltiug rich from the increase of bia callie and says just as noon as be gets rich be in gui tie to marry and settle down. Maybe be wi 1, but I doubt it, for be will never know wheo he is rieb and my observation ia that if a young mao dues out murry wheo the vuleuliuo of life ia upon bim ho is not apt to marry at ali. A mao caa travel around nod watt and see ten thoasaud girls sud keep tooling along until he don't care muco .about marry lug any one for fear she will oe io his wsy and bother him when bo wants lo go anywhere. Those traveling drummers don t marry. Not one ia ever u>n will ever marry unless they can ruo away with or captare some rich girl. After a few yean of drumming they look upon the cars as their hotel, their booie and they are never satisfied unless they are changing their base. If I woe a girl I duu't tbink I would marry a drummer for I koow he would be hankering to leave me before 1 the honeymoon was over. I like the drammers. I meet them everywhere and they are civil aod courteous sad aggressive io business, but I um sorry for them, they have a bard life-a life that weans them from ali the endearaienu of home ead feciale society. I am sorry for their mothers and sisters and caa almost bear them saying with a sigh, ''I wonder where William is to night and what tba poor boy ta doing." Tt'.ero are a doceo of them at my hotel tc night and they ure ell huay writing le sers to their eiordoyoea and fooling uo th> day'a work. In th? morning they wilt begone aj?o*. another dozen will take their fiaee* I aa ld that I aaw no pleasant inviting country bornes io middle Tessa, co white boase with green blinds abd a broad ?aranda with vines raooiog ap the t rel I aces and evergreens ia the front Jard. But 1 never saw more attractive omea than they bevela the tow us aod cu burbs. They bave ?prendid court: bouses aod fails aud public school build ings, much finer and costlier than any io Georgia. These Texans do what they do io a grand style. They are well np with all the advances of modern times. I fled the telephone every shem'nod it ie used mach uore than tb? telegraph one cao go to the telephone in ?ria hotel fn any or these towns and converse with ! noy other town a hundred miles away. There are ten times as many telephones lo Texas as in Georgia. A friend-of : mine while ic Gainesville talked to his ' 'family ia Shermsn and. theo to bia I agents lo Waco and Dallas. He la in I the lamber bu? i neos, end when a mao la Denison inquired by telephone what be would sell bim twe ear loads of shingles for, he immediately telephoned a shingle . ' " ??'"?/?.>? ' -v1"'.. ?aid he mede fifty four dolla/s by the tram action. The telephone U hurting the telegraph badly. It ia hurting the street can ton. A toan unod tn get OD the care and ride a half mile to see a man, but be don't now. There are 240 telephones in Sherman and more io Dui ia?, and aa many in Gainesville They are everywhere in thin country and all the towns are lied together by it. Now I am here in Denlvm, in North ern Texan, and Gnd this a much heller country for advanced agriculture and horticulture. I never saw any orchards south of Fort Worth, hut this region is full of them. They make fruit a speci alty aod it is a lucrative occupation. Vineyards, and orchard-?, and large areas of strawberries and otbrr small fruits may be Been all around tbe city. It ia uot a prairio country like middle Texas, hut is gently undulating and has a rich deep soil that needs nn fertilizer. I have seen Brown's Iron Bitters and Cuticurs and so forth advertised all over the country but I have not seen the Snlunble Pacific; guano. They have no need for f;uHoo here. But there ia one thing ucking here, and that is manufactures. There are no steam whistles except on thu locomotives. There is nothing done io Texas but farming and cattle raiding and merchandise. This is a flne field for the manufacturer to occupy. Train load after train ioaded with wheal goes north and passel just aa many trains coming back with flour. But they don't care-money is plenty and it goes free aud easy-when I smoked cigars in Georgia ? was a*hamed to pay more than a nickle for one, but you can't find a nicklo cigar hero. They are ten cents or three tor a quarter, and it is the same way with evrrythiug. Lumber is eighteen dollars a hundred. They used to weatherboard their Houses with raw hidra, but they dou'i now. Texas is con mopolitao. People from every land are here, bul the native Texan prevails and rules. Au immigrant bas to live bete for years before they will trust bim. I used to bear that our boya would come back to Georgia if they could, but they don't talk thal way to me. They love In talk about old Georgia but they don't want to go back. An old settler told me that for a long time they use) to asia our boya when they came and swindle them out of what they brought here, and that kept them from going back for they bad nothing to go back on, and so they went to work and after a while got re conciled. I asked a mao where he waa (rom and he said he was fotched up iu Georgia but bo waa "raised" in Texas, fur they raised bim out nf everything he bad. But I am hurried now and will give you more in my next. BILL A BP. A Double-Barreled Joke. The other evening,'round at McGov ern'?, the boya wore putting up an elabo rate practical joke on somebody, and ihey asked old Captain Skiddy, who had just happened in, to take a hand. "No, gentlemen/' said that estimable sid gentleman, derisively, ''you don't catch rae taking part in auy practical jokes. I went out of that business for good, over ten years ago." "How won that?" asked the group of beor exterminators. "Well, it wai in the Winter of '70 ; maybe 71. I was living in Davenport, Iowa, and a man came around there giv lng balloon ascensions. One day it was advertised that the mayor of the town was geing up with him. Now, the niayor nf the town waa a big, fat man, whn always wore a white suit of clothed and a white bat. This put me io the notion uf working off a joke on the people. I got acquainted with the aeronaut, and he offered io assist mn in the scheme. We Iben got an old suit of light clothes and fixed up a dummy, which we filled wilh sand, so that it weighed about two bun - dred poundB, and would, therefore, drop straight and heavy like a mau. The day of the aacention there were over three thousand people on the ground, and the excitemeut waa very great, ss thero wan a light wind blowing at the time. After the balloon got up about a mlle, and maybe that far south of the toan, they dropped the dummy over." "Big sensation thea, eh?" "W?U, I abould aay so. But that's just where I l??t my grip. While the caowd was shouting and going wild with horror, I just laid down on the ground and laughed till I waa just sick." "Should think the crowd would have taken a tumble, too," suggested the audience. "But just wait. Of course the crowd made a oreak out of to wu to gather up the remains, and I rushed home to get my fishing tackle, for 1t struck me that the most healthy thing I could do would be to go a fishing for a day or two. Be fore I left the hon?e, however, I waa ar rested for murder." 'J Exactly. A lot nf the boy*, seco m r-?*??ed by the sheriff, rushed in and col a red me. Tbey claimed that the dum my bad fallen oo a farmer aud driven his skull cleat into the heel of hts boots. They said that the baUaonatic had turned State's evidence, and the chances were ihat I'd be bung by a mob before night," "That was rough." " Woll, so I thought. I waa inst scared plum to death, and I begged the boys to stand by and protect me. I poined up fifty dollars for legal expenses, and they bid me io the garret of a neighbors house. They kept me there ten blessed days and there waa not a day but they atruck me for a twenty or two for contin gencies. One night the whole gang came around full of beer-on roy money mind you-and said that they bad concluded, as additional precaution, to hide mo io tbe hollow of aa old oak tree about three miles out lo the woods. I saw through the whole business theo, and drove 'em ont with a c'?b. It wai a good square case of the bitter bit, I know, but they never let op calling me 'Dummy Skiddy,' aft? that, until they actually drove mel out of town, and I bad to emigrate to thia jumping off place of creation," aod tba c?ptalo snook his bead with a dis gusted air aa he' walked out,-San Fran cine P?tt. What a Boy Accomplished. A boy who attends one of our 8r??day Schools went out in the country, the last Summer, to apend bis vacation-a fiait he uad lou* looked forward to wits pleasure. He weat ont to.help the men harvest. Ono of the men waa au invet erate swearer. The boy, having stood it aa long M be could, said ip the mao. "Well, I gae? I'll go hom? lo-morruw." Tbe swearer, who had taken a great liking to him, said, "I thought you were going to atay all inp 8uranier " *T waa." said the boy, "but I can't atay whait? any body, swears ; so one of oe moat go, I will leave. The maa felt the rebuke, aod ssid : "It you will stay, I won't swear." Ami ha kept bis word.

Costars tay Canear* Ar* Kot Uonarally Caused by Snotting. General Grant's condition and the causo t<> which the cancer has been at tributed bave occasioned much comment amnug smokers of thia city. Some of | the more timid ones have reduced their daily allowance of cigars and other pro fess to have no fears of any trouble. A W*rld reporter yesterday interviewed many physicians, and they all agreed that the danger nf cancer from smoking is very ?light indeed, and that only a small percentage of cases of epitheliotna can the origin be,clearly traced to the u?e of tobacco. Some physicians, in fact, say that there ia reallv no such thing as "smoker's cancer," and noe young doctor at Bellevue Hospital stopped purling his cigarette loug enough to assure the re porter that "all thin talk about 'pipe cancer' ia bluff and guff." Older sur geons, however, *av that while very rare, n few canea of smoker's cancer do occur. Dr. Stephen Smith, ona of the oldest surgeons at Bellevue Hospital, said that there wero not probably more than a doten canea a yetr of epitheliums of the lip treated et that institution. "And all ur.thone caf .ot be by any means attrib uted to smoking," be coutiuued. "Soaie of the patienta are women, and some of j them men who do not smoke. Continued pressure nod consequent irritation upon any part of the skiu are apt to bring on epithelioma in those predisposed to il. Tbe pressure of the crown plate of a net of false teeth or the irritation ccu uni by broken tooth rubbing against the Hp may start Ibo trouble. Where smoking is responsible for its occurrence it will be found that long continued pressura of the*pipe stem upon the lower lip results j in the formation of a fissure or aura spot. It often develops into cancer, often before the sufferer knows what the trouble ia. Ooo case came to my notice recently in which the patient did not smoke, but waa in the habit of carrying an unligbt ed cigar in hin mouth." "Did the nicotine poison bis blood and thuB produce tbe cancer?" "No ; I think it was due to the press ure of the cigar upon the-lip-nothing more." "What do ycu tbink ia the smoker's bestprevontive of caucer?" "To let pipes and cigars severely alone is the beat plan I can aug -eat." "Do the cases of cancer on the Up often result fatally ?" "No, not if taken in time. But peo Cle generally walt until it ia too late efore attending to it. The diseased fiart ia cut out, but the malady recurs nt ] ntervala of a few mouths, and death frequently results after three or four years. Th? most noted case which I can recall is that of the Rey. Dr. Budingtnii, the Brooklyn clergyman. You remember he lingered a long while and died alter a great deal of Buffering and several opera tions bad been performed. I do not j tbink he waa a smoker. The present ' alarm about cancer from smoking is overdone. Pressure of tbe oigar or pipe ] may be directing cause of cancer, but it will be found that in the majority of I cases there is a predisposition to tbe [ disease in the person attacked. Those afflicted with the cancer of the lip do not always auffer from much pain, and I know of quite a number of instances ] where there wan comparatively little or] oo suffering from the disease. Very often, perhaps in the majority of cases, epithelioma resulta from the degenera tion of the tissues incidental to old agc. There see ma to be a general decay ot tbe membrane. You will find that most of those in whom cancer appears are above fifty yeera old." A World reporter called, upon Dr. Uulkley at tbe Skin and Cancer Hospital in Thirty-fourth street. In response to questions he said : "I tbink tba alarm about the disastrous consequence-, of I tobacco smoking are much greater than tho facts warrant. Cancer of the lower lip ia comparatively small and cannot always be traced to smoking, although 'pipe cancer' is a name long ago given to the disease. The effects of moderate smoking on tbe average man are not Been at all. In persons of average strength I consider three cigars a day tbe number they generally cito ?muk? with safely, an<! the strongest taan I ever saw could not consume more than len a day with impunity. Pipes goner ally collect nicotine in tbe bowl or stem, wblcb escapes to the mouth and coming in contact with the mucous membrane is apt to get into tbe system and cause local cancera on the Una or tip of the tongue.

He name of one of the oldest families in (Ito Palmetto State, and bia uncle, Pierce Butler, wa? a Senator io Congress while the man of whom I write waa a DOV. The uncle was a very distin guished looking; man. and waa a power in the deliberations of our highest legis lative body at a time when it was filled with great men. His nephew, who bsa ?ucceeded him, occupies an equally frai neut position in an assemblage that hard'y comparea with tho gathering of intellectual giants who sat in the Senate chamber during the mighty event M of IMO. Those who knew bia uncle say to me that the present Senator has much of his self poise, fertility of mind and in tegrity of purpose.

But foran act of kindness by Pierce Butler, which after generations came back to bless the nephew, the present Senator hom South Carolina might never have held a seat ia the Sen ate. The circumstuucea occurred when General Cameron wan a second time elected United State? Senator. The late" Governor Bigler was bis colleague. Hf made an effort to induce the Senate to investigate the charges that Mr. Cameron had secured his election by bribery. He called the matter up one day and mades speech detailing tho allega' mus and nu h ing the 8enste to take cognizance ol them. Pierce Butler espoused General Osmeron'a cause and mane a speech, in which he ?aid that the Senate of the United 8tatee waa not the place in which the ?tate of Pennsylvania.cnuld wash lt? dirty linen, and moved that the r?solu lion for an investigation be not agreed lo. Tbe Senate followed Butler's lead and Cameron's title to hia seat waa con tested. When the vote waa aouounced that settled the controversy. Butler walked over to where General Gameroo aat and sold : "Now, Simon, you ought to send me a bottle off whUkey with which to celebrate this occasion." "By the life, Butler." replied Cameron, "I'll send you a barrel of the beat made in Pennsylvania/' Thu liquor was sent, and ever there after the families of Cameron and Butler were fast friends.

Owing to the fact that annular eclipses of the sun are of frequent occurrence and that their coming is invested with littlo or no information to the modern astrono mer, comparatively little attention is paid tn this now well explained pheuom* ennn. An eclipse of the sun is caused by the monn passing between the earth and the sun on, or nearly on, the same plane ilth these bodies. The moon being between the earth and the sun hides the latter, in whole or iu part, from a portion of the earth. It does not hide the sun from all parts of the earth, because the moon ts very near an compared with the sun. an well as very email, and a little away from the direct line, it seen either above or below the sun. If you put two discs of cardboard several feet apart In such a relation that one hides the other, and then step upon u chair, you immedi ately sec over the nearer disc a whole or a pert of ihm which is more remoto. So, while a total eclipse nf the sun iain 'prugreB**, the spectator, in a higher or lower latitude, looks over or under the moon and sees the nun in whole or in part. As everybody knows, a small otject near ibe eye may hide a lanje object ?-hieb ia at a distance. A nickel seven feel from the eye will hide the sun. In the aamn way the little moon, 240.000 miles away, occupies the ? rime an?jl0 and hides the sun. When the contera of the sun and moon and any part of the earth are in the same line, ano the discs of the sun and monn are centrical, or nearly so, there ls commonly a total ec'lpse. ..jo mei i mt ??, however, the moon passes up - or down across the earth's path a little lo the right or left of the sun's centre, and then its disc covers only . part of the au n'a disc, and we have . partial eclipse. Besides, the relative distances of ibe sun and the moon are not always precisely the same. Both ibo moon cud tho earth, moving in elliptical orbits, each iu sometim?? nearest to the earth. It happens, there fore, that irr one eclipse the disc of the moon is a littlo larger than that of the nun, whi.le lu another the sun's diso is a littlo larger than that of the moon. In * the latter case a rim or ring of the solar diso will be seen girdling the moon, and the eclipso which otherwise would have neon total over a certain geographical area, is an annular eclipse, au caliea from the Latiu word annuftu, which means a ring. The path of the. annulus lay on yester day about two thousands miles due Weat of San FranciHCo. and ended in the Are* tte Ocean, just East nf Greenland, and although the eclipse was visible ali over the United 8tates, it was only seen ai aa annular eclipse within the belt between Gape Mendocino, Cal., and Greenland. The weather yesterday in Charleston waa favorable for viewing the eclipse. At first the aky io the neighborhood of the sun was tolerably free from clouds, but during the Salter part of the eclipse the face of t he sun became overcast with light, bary clouds, which prevented the perception of any diminution of light ?-.hieb might have been caused by the [eclipse. Precisely at three minutes of 12 o'clock by standard tim?* the black circle of the moon waa seen gradually seeping upon the sun'* edge, several degrees Westward of ita Northern point, and alowly increased in size-Blowly et least to tho observera here-butin reality some thirty five or forty times faster than the fastest express train on our railroads .?vcr run. 8ome idea of the terrific rate of speed at which the shadow of the .noon was travelling may be gained from ihe fact that it bas been calculated that if a lightning express train, moving at lull speed, bsd one hour's start of it, the ?diado? would have overtaken it in about iwo minutes. At about fifteen minutes"' ?..liter 1 .o'clock yesterday the shadow reached its maximum size, at which time, tm. viewed from Charleston, a little over a quarter of the sun's surface was obscured ami that fiery orb resembled a ' large crocent, the points of which were turued upwards to the north. About - N twenty five mi roo ci after 2 o'clock the. eclipse ended, the last point of contact ? Oeing in nearly the same position on the .?Jgo of tho sun's surface, as the first i wi nt of con tact. This ia a fact which probably struck the unscientific aa being very peculiar, most of them thinking tbat the shadow of the moon would commence to obscure the surface of the ann at one side, pass completely_?cross i's surface and leave it at a point oppo* ' die to that point at which it entered. This striking phenomenon was cause, by the transportation of the heavens reith regard to vhe earth. It is a self evident fact that that portion of the sun's surface which is first visible at ito rising Is the first to' disappear at the setting oi in other words, the opposite extremity of the sun's surfsco ia tho last to be seen. The eclipse commenced before 12 o'clock, sud. at the midday hour the sun crossed the meridian of the earth, and although it appeared as if ibe same portion of tbe ?urface of the seo was turned towards' the earth as bef?te J 2 o'clock, it was in reality the opposite portion. In truth it might be said that man could desire tr* behold no more wonder* ful or Jus>ructive spectacle than the hld* irfg of one world in the shadow' of another through the operation of iawaeo* ?imple that o eh lld can understand them, but which in GI;.* h a case are displayed upon a scsle of grandeur that nan can only grasp by the exercise of the highest faculties-Newt and Courier.
