ECLIPSE OF THE SUN IN 1888.
The sun win be ecllpsed, visible
throughout the United States, on the 18th
Of September next, between. 3 and g
o'clock, P. M. The eclipse VIII not be.
total, but annular: that is, the moon, be-
ing too near the sun TO hide il entirely
from our view, viii leave its margin wis.,
bic, like a luminous sring lansulus,) to
those beholders whose place makes the
moon pass directly between them and the
suns exact centre.
The tract of country, to which the
eclipse will be thus central, is stated in the
American Almanac TO be the following
Beginning to be visible in the unknown
regions near the North pole, the central
annual eclipse will pass through KAN
schatka in Asia, the British Possessions in
North America, not far west of .Iudson's
Bay, Lake Superior, Wisconsin Terri
tory, Michigan, Lake Erie, the N, e.
part Of Ohio, the Southeastern part of
Pennsylvania, the west part of Maryland,
northern part Of Virginia, southern part
Of Maryland, eastern shore Of Virginia,
and into the Atlantic Ocean; its course
being from N. w. to s. e. The.
eclipse Will be afrlular, over a. space Of
400 miles wide.
The ring, in the places where it may
be seen, will continue only from FIR TO
about sir and a. half minutes s sa
At baltimore, the eclipse will begin at
6 minutes past 3, p. III. The ring will.
be formed at % minutes past and be
central at 81 1-2 minutes past A. The
eclipse will at forty minutes past 5.
AT Washington city, and Richmond,
the several phases viii be within small
fraction of minute, of the same tune in
Baltimore.
At Raleigh, within about , minutes of
same time. But there, no ring viii ap-
pear. The sun viii be arery slender GRE
scent. --r....-
This crescent viii be wider and wider,
with horns less and less sharp, as. we go
south and southwest, or north and north
east, from the path of the central eclipse.
This path first touches the earth at a
point near the North Pole. a little east
of the meridian of Greenwich. In few
seconds afterwards it altains its greatest
northern latitude (see, whilst for the
first minutes it.rnoves rapidly westward,
until It is $50 west Of that meridian. In
ten minutes after passing out of Virginia,
INTO the Atlantic Ocean, it leaves the
earth, at point about $40 north latitude,
and $50 west longitude; Just one hour,
AZ minutes and 80 seconds after its first
touching the earth; having traversed
somewhat circuitous track Of 5000 miles
in length; and Gas We said before) the
whole annular path being 40 miles in
breadth. II reaches, IN width, from Fair
field county in Connecticut, nearly to Ras
leigh in North Carolina. $3.50 81.
The counties of Virginia, through
which the eract centre Of the eclipse will
pass, are Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson,
Loudon, Fairfax, and Aceomac. e
This viii be the last central ecliDses of
the sun visible in the United States. until
thatof May 26th, 1854; which will be

RoBBERY OF THE BANK OF THE METRO
PoLIs.-This Bank was burglariously en-
tered on the night Of the 26th. The
thieves entered by the sky-lights and trap
doors, and forced their way into the book,
safe, where they found and stole two ma
hogany cases of valuable Jewels and plate.
They were unable to penetrate the main
safe where the money is kept. The va

considerable but, tits thought, not equal
to the $4,000 which our neighbor Of the
Advertiser contriyod to get from this same

This fact will excite surprise, when it is
recollocted that he delivered lecture

ted at a very little expense, He was a
minute and accurate observer Of the hab-

in conversation TO give or receive iDstruc-
ton in horticulture. He infused into his
conversation music and poetry, and he
was listened to wilh delight, even when
Ilistheme was the cultivation Of cabbages.
He taught that the proper time TO prune

A captain Of an East Ihdiaman was
one evening seated with his cronies in
tavern, and was relating some eventful
story of his life and adventures, when, at
the very moment in which he had arrived

Rod of his tale, his narrative was broken.
short by messenger TO inform him that
the wind was fair, the tide favorable, and
he must Immediately go on board. After
a hasty adieu he set forth and proceeded
on his voyage. He was absent twelve
months; and, on his retnrn, his first visit
was paid to the tavern, where he was GER
tain of meeting some of his former. associ-
ates. He was not disappointed; for there
they were, bound by long continued habit
and apparently they might have set on
their respective stools and benches ever
since our hero had taken his departure.
We may suppose Their congratulation over
and all natural enquiries satisfied, when
the captain, with the. utmost composure,
lighted his pipe, and looking round with
a complacent air, recommended his story
Of year old, Prefacing it with "Well, as l
was saying, when was interrupted"
When the Duke of York (the brother
of George HID was sent TO sea, Capt.
Howe equipped his young 'eleve' in the
true Portsmouth fashion; the captains of
the navy then present attended him their
boats on board, where they were severallv
introduced to the young midshipman.
An anecdote is told, which, being highly
characteristic of the true simplicity ofsea-
men, is not unlikely to have occurred. A
sailor, standing with some others on the
forecastle, andgobserving what was going
on, whispered his messmate, the young
gentleman ant over civil, as I thinks; look,
if he don't keep his hat on before all the
captains? why you stupid lubber' re-
piled the other where should he larn man
ners, seeing as how he never was at sea
before? (Life of Admiral Earl Howe.

and the Lords concur with tIrsm-condemn the
punishment of the State prise ners TO Bermud

THE LLAMA.-The current number of the For
eign Quarterly Review puts its seal to the follow
ing affecting particulars respecting the Llama,
which it describes authentic:-"The llama is
the only animal associated with man and uade.
based by tho contact. Tne llama will bear Meth.
| er beating nor ill-treatment. They GO in troops,
an Indian going lung distance ahead as guide.
litired. they stop, and the Indian stops also. If
the delay is great, the Indian, becoming uneasy
toward sunset, after all of precautions re.
solves supplicating the beasts to resume their
journey. He stands about fifty or sixty PAGES off, in
an attitude OF humility, waves his hands coaxingly
towards the llamas, looks at them with tenderness,
aud, at the same tine, in the sotest tone, and
with patience | never failed to admire, reiterates
&c &c ,c. If the lamas disposed to continue
their COURSE they folio " the Indian in good order,
at regular pace, and very fast, for their legs
extremely long; but when they are in i'll humour,
they do not even turn their heads towards the
speakeI-hut remain motonless, huddled together
standing or lying down, and gazing on heaven
with looks 80 tender, 80 melancholy, that we
might imagine these singular animals had the
consciousness Of another life, Of happier exie-
tence.
| The straight meek, and its gentle majesty Of
bearing, the long down of their always clean and
| glossy skin, their supple and iimid motions, all
| give them an ulr al once nuble and sensitive. 1t
must D. 50, IN TACT; for the llama 10 the only
eteature employed by man that he dares not
an Indian wishes 10 obtain, either by force or
threats, what the llama will not willingly perform,
| the instant the animal finds itself atfronted BY
word or gesture, he raises his head with dignity,
and without attempting TO escape i'll treatment by
flight, (the llama is tied tetered) he lies
down, turning his looks towards heaven. Large
tears flow freely from his beautiful eyes, signs is.

OF an hour almost he exp,res. Happy creatures,
who so easily avoid suff ring by deash! Happy
creatures, who appear 10 have accepted life on
ambition of being happy.

reverence. When the Indians load them, two ap-
ptoach and caress he animal, hiding his head,
that he may nor see the burden his back. Ii he
did, he would fall and die. 1t is the same in un-
loading. II the burden exceed a certain weight,
the animal throws itself down and dies. The
Indians OF the Cordilleras alone possess enough
patience and gen,leness to manage the llama.
1t is doubtless from this extraordinary companion
that he has learned TO die when over tasked."
