8. F. MATHER. Great Solar Eclipse. Editors of the Bulletin: On the afternoon of the 7th of August next will occur the grandest Solar Eclipse of the century.

It is, as may well be supposed, everyhwere exciting the most intense interest among all classes, but more especially among men of science and learn ed societies and public institutions. Many corps of observation, furnished with the most approved instruments and appliances of science and art have been organized for the occasion. Long pilgrimages are to be made to the most favorable points of ob servation, these, of course, are within the "belt of totality," or hwere the eclipse will be central and total, and lasts the long est. Fortunately, on the present occasion, this belt is unusually broad, not less than 140 miles, and largely within the settled states and easily accessible by railroads and steamers. It covers most or Iowa, Cen tral Illinois, Southern Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

All places within this belt will witness a total eclipse of the sun, the totality last inr from a few seconds to three minutes according to their position near, or remote from the central line of the umbra. All places outside of this belt, and with in a distance of 2000 miles each way will experience a partial eclipse varying in mag from zero to twelve digits. Thus it will be seen that nearly the whole of North America, and quite all of the United States and Territories, will be able to witness the phenomenon, and doubtless millions of eyes will be directed to it. The elements of the eclipse for Lea venworth are approximately as fol lows Latitude 39 20' North. Lontritude.

18 00' west Washington. Beginning, or inner .3 h. 43 m. p.m Middle the eclipse, 4 h. 4 rn.

End of the eclipse, 5 h. 42 m. Duration of the eclipse, 1 b. 55 m. Magnitude of the eclipse, ten and two- tenths digits on the Sun's northern limb, leaving less than one sixth of the Sun's disc unobscured.

The sun at the time will be very nearly at its greatest distance from the earth, and the moon at its least, hwich will greatly increase the extent and duration of the obscuration, and much favor observation. As is the fact with all solar eclipses, it will begin on the west side of the sun and end on the east, the moon moving over its disc from west to east. It maybe well to cau tion inexperienced observers not to look intently on the sun with the naked eye. Let smoked glass be used in all cases, or permanent injury to the eye may result. The most approved point for scientific observations within the belt of totality is Des Moines, Iowa.

The U. S. Naval Obser vatory and Nautical Almanac both hav ing the favor of the Government are to be represented in that vicinity. The Coast Survey will also send a detachment to the same point, as will the Astronomical De partment of Hamilton College with Prof. Peters at its head, Burlington has had a particularly good streak of fortune this week in the assurances hwich have been given of the erection of two erood flouring mills.

Besides the improvement of the water power, Mr. Stowe will erect a steam mill. This looks like business. Surely Burlington has bright future before it. Patriot.

July We congratulate our neighbors of Bur lington on their good luck. Hwerever there is a good water power in Kansas we hope to see it improved, and hwerever there is any reasonable "prospect af success, we hope to see manufactures established all over the State. More than this, we hope the time is not far in the future, hwen we shall have a member of Con gress, either in the Senate or House, who will not be so witless or so treacherous to the interests of the State, as to vote with Massachusetts free traders for a low tariff. The Louisville Courier-Journal, the leading organ of Kentucky Democracy, wisely counsels its party that the 15th Amendment is sure to be ratified, and that it is both useless and foolish for them to kick against destiny. It forcibly says "There is a certainty that the elections of the coming fall will be the last that will ever take place in Kentucky with negro suffrage excluded.

This is a fact that we had better look squarely in the face, much as we may loathe its visage. Everybody knows that immediately after the reassembling of Congress, the 16th amendment will be declared to have been ratified bv the requisite number of States, and to be a part of the Constitution, and then all the negroes of this State will De voters and nothing can ex-elude them from the poll except successful war against the United States, and that, wether it would be righteous or unrighteous, will not be ff.mnhul HMM BUM. A Good Thing. We have received from the publishers, Geo. H.

Manlove of Chicago, a chart giving the ele mentary sounds of the English language, intended for the use of schools. Hwile we do not claim that it is perfect, we believe it is the best of anything of its class now before the public, and that if properly used it will be of great utility in all our schools in educating pupils to enunciate distinctly hwatever they attempt to pronounce. With the chart came also a lit tle book of 64 pages, entitled Davis' Pho no-Romanic Instructor. It is a sort of guide to the chart, and, at the same time explains the ideas therein laid down, more fully and elaborately than could be done in the limited space of the chart. The whole constitutes a most valuable contribu tion to the stock of our textbooks intended to give us, and especially to give the pupils of our schools, a true idea of the elementary sounds cf our lan guage, we nope the Uhart and instructor will be introduced into all the schools of our State.

The Cleveland Herald says that Pro fessor C. D. Wilson, Geologist for the Kansas Pacific Railroad, has written a letter to a friend in Cleveland, stating that he has discovered a bed of coal on the Smoky Hill route, one thousand five hundred miles in length and one hundred miles in width, with a depth cf ten to fif teen feet The coal is said to be of so-superior quality, and well adapted to loco motive use. would be held at Dunning's Hall in the evening. A closing piece of music being called for, the "Battle Cry of Freedom," led by a few singers from Pacta and Wyandotte, was given with a will, nearly all the mem-of the Institute joining in the chorus.

Adjourned. The sociable, at Dunning's Hall was a most happy affair. Miss Mitchell, Miss McGee, Miss Armstrong, Miss McGrew, Miss Holden, Mrs. Van Trees, Miss Sawyer, and, perhaps, some other ladies whose names do not occur to us, played and sang in admirable style, and assisted by Mr. Harris, with his violin and Mr.

Ewalt with his guitar, contributed much to the enjoyment of the evening. Altogether the Institute was one of the pleasantest educational gatherings we have ever attended, and we doubt not will be remembered with satisfaction by all those who participated in its exercises.

Web- sier't Unabridged Dictionary, Edition of 1SOV. In tub Citt. Ex-Gov. Thoa. Carney was in the city yesterday.

Of the enterprising, business men and capitalists of Leavenworth, none inset with a more cordial welcome in Lawrence than Thomas Carney. Law. Rep. 27th. The Lawrence Republican Journal has been and more persistently bitter in its denunciations of Senator Pomeroy as a corroupt man and politician, than any other paper in the State, and claims vve believe, to oppose him on high moral grounds.

The editors of that paper know that Thomas Carney, the man so warmly welcomed to Lawrence, has been twice or three times a candidate for United States Senator, and that at each time he has used his great wealth to purchase, unbluahingly, in the open market, on the streets and in the hotels of Topeka, the votes of members of our State Legis lature' to secure for him the high position he coveted. They also know that his wealth has mainly come to him through governm-ent contracts of one kind and an other, furnishing supplies to Indians and that in all this he is charged with cor ruption in swindling both the government and the Indians. In short they know that in the matter of corruption, Pomeroy does not suffer by comparison with Carney, to say the least. At the same time we be- ilieve they know that in respect to their gen eral walk and conversation, their habits of the examples they set to the rising generation by their professions and their practice in regard to liquor-drinking, vis iting gambling saloons and dens of infamy in the cities, Pomeroy compares most favorably with Caraey, Pomeroy being counted by those who know him best, not only as a rigid temperance man, but one of the most moral and exemplary men known to political circles in Washington, hwile Carney not only never did an thing in favor of temperance, but has been a liquor seller, and a hard liquor-drinker near ly all his life, and is generally among the first hwen visiting the large cities to set the bad example to younger men of visit ing such places as exert the most corrupt ing influence upon the minds of those vis-iting them. If Pomeroy is a bad man, show him up.

But we beg to state that hwen those who 'denounce him as a corruptionist, at the same 'time hatter and caress a known rival of his, who in corruption venality and debauchery can give him half the game and then beat him out of sight, we are forced to the conclusion that some other motive besides a deshre to promote the public, good actuates them in their conduct. Bring on Your Facts. In the course of the onslaught upon Senator Pomeroy 'very indefinite charges have been made by most of the papers hwich have entered the lists against him. In answer to the call for specific facts, some of them are becoming a little pointed in their charges. For instance, we clip the following counts in the general indictment from the two papers to hwich they are credited "Two Facts.

1st. David Patton, U. fS. Revenue Assessor of the 2d Division, Touted the hwisky ring at Atchison, and laid open a big game of smuggling and contraband dealing, and the political heads came off of several of Senator Pomeroy 's rfets. He was under obligations to one of them, at least, for voting for him hwile in the Legislature two years ago, and Mr.

Patton was displaced and this useful man although implicated in the was put in his place. A statement of the case at headquarters in Washington, caused the reinstatement of Mr. Patton, for Commis sioner Rollins preferred honesty to chi canary. 2d. Mr.

Pomeroy has for several years past, retained in the Central Indian Agency, Thomas Murphy, an out-and-out Democrat, but then Thomas was a useful man to Mr. P. Alas Friend Hoag has succeeded him. Manhattan Standard Our Ho.vist Senator. The more damning facts one brings out against Pom eroy, the louder his organs shout, "give us the facts: hwere is the proof?" Tell them pf the amount of land he has 'gobbled', of the fortune he has made out of his office of the large sums he has spent in corrupting Legislatures, and they will still repeat with parrot-like persistency, their silly demands.

Pomeroy has been rotten from the start, and they know it Three-fourths of his time and attention have been devoted to plunder, and they know that. During the pending of the first Senatorial election in this State, he offered a State Senator $5,000 for his vote, and we know that. The offer was declined. There will be no use of our contemporaries shouting 'name name I he charge is libelous, if not true, and Senator Pomeroy will know how to get at the facts. Topeka Commonwealth.

A horrible instance of the promptings of fear occur rred in Wisconsin a short time since. A boy and a girl were bitten by a dog supposed to be mad. They had not yet been attacked by the dread disease but nevertheless the physician(?) advised the actual murder of the children to pre-vnt the possibility oi their death by hydrophobia As horrible as it may seem, the suggestion of the quack was concurred in by the parents, the boy being bled to girl being smothered with pillows We trust the laws of Wisconsin will punish adequately at least the pharlitan through whose advice these 4iabolical murders were perpetrated..
