SOLAR ECLIPSE IN 1854.-On Friday, the Goth
of May next, there will be an eclipse of the sun,
which will be more or less visible in all parts Of
the United States and Canada, and in a portion Of
both will be annular. Its commencement in this
city will be at An Pm. in the afternoon, its great
est observation at 5h. Ism, and its end at Oh 27m
AS the apparent diameter of the moon will be d
little less than the sum- the eclipse cannot be total
anywhere. The Christian Almanac says:
"The ring will be only about one-thrd of a
digit wide and will be visible only in the vicinity
where the line of central eclipse passes. The
eclipse is central in longitude 73o So west of
Greenwich, latitude 44o Ia north; and in longi
tude $40 35 west, latitude 4lo TO- north. BY
finding these positions upon map, and drawing
line from one to the other, the towns and coun-
tries through which the central eclipse passes will
be readily discovered. The path of the rannular
eclipse will be about one hundred miles wide, and
extend about fifty miles each side of the line we
have described. The annular eclipse will move
about one hundred miles per minute.
'sThe first time this eclipse ever occurred was
in 1913, July 3D. since then it has returned thir-
ty-one times, including its return this year. 1t
occurred in April, 1900, in May, 1878, and in
May, 1886. 1t will return again in June, 1872.
Its last return will be in the year 1898, August
18th The next solar eclipse that will attract
much attention in this country will be 1858,
March 18TH"

IMPROVED LAND IN THE UNITED STArEs.-The
agricultural tables in the census report show that
tile average quantity of improved land, by which
is meant only such produces crops, or in some
manner adds to the products of the farmer, is
about seven and third acres to each inhabtant;
but as perhaps twoffths of the population live in
towns and villages, and are engaged in other pur-
suits than those of agriculture, the proportion of
improved land to be assigned to each person occu-
pying or working it may be assumed as not less
than twelve acres. In the New England States,
the average for the whole population is little
more than four acres to each person; in the mid
die States, SO acres. In Virginia the proportion
is about seven acres; in South Carolina six acres;
in Kentucky, twelve acres; and in Tennessee, five
acres The value of the farms in the United States
is returned at 81, 270, 733,O93

IMPROVEMENT IN PIANos.--An ingenious in
vention has lately been exhibited in Paris, which
promises to be the precursor of new era in the
manufacture of piano fortes La France Musicale
announces that one Mons. Sax has transformed
the piano by a process very simple, indeed, but
which, like all simple things, required man OF
genius. The fact that the violin is an instrument
of small volume, yet its sounding power is very
great, while the guitar, much larger in size, pro-
duces but thin and meagre sounds, induced Mons.
Sax to inquire into the reason of this difference,
and he has come to the conclusion that the differ
ence in sound is occasoned by the relative height
of the bridge of the instrument. This idea Mons.
Sax has avaied himself of, and constructed u
piano on this principle. And an experiment
which has been made in the presence of artists
and professors of mark before the court of France
has been successful in the highest degree.

despatch in the English papers, dated Ports

'sThe FREELY, S, paddle sloop, Commander G.,
A. Seymour, arrived at Spithead from the coast
of Africa squadron this morning. She arrived at
Sierra Leone on the 18th, and left on the 18th of
June. The American expedition for Japan, con-
ssting of the United States frigate Vncennes, 26,
bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Ring
gold, the John Hancock screw frigate, the Por-
poise brig, and the Fenimore Cooper schooner,
together with the brig Perry, from the coast of
Africa, were at Madeira at the above date. The
slave trade on the coast of Africa was getting
brisk, principally in shipments to the Havana,
owing to the few ships on the various stations.
The Linnet, 8, Commander H. Need, had taken
two prizes on the north coast, and the FREELY had
captured one prize, Brazilian brig of PAT tons,
but with no papers.

and the explanations given of its chemical action

the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expec

not be without it Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must

THEIRS, the great ex-minister, seven years be-
fore the revolution of 1890, in France, was poor
printer boy in the Office of the Constitution.
He afterwards supplied the EDITORS chair; led on
the popular mind to revolt, and finally contrived
to set Louis Philippe on the throne of Charles X.
He is one of the best writers his country has
produced, and his great work, the History of tho
French Revolution, was written whilst he was in
the discharge of multiiarious duties which would
have utterly appalled, most other minds. The

and made the passage home in eighty eight days,
her outward trip having been accomplished in
eighty seven days. All the New South Wales

Thus, another pioneer and worthy man has
been gathered fIom among US. The deceased
was the last Of several brothers. He leaves an
aged widow and five sons, besides large fami-
ly connection to mourn his loss. He was born
in Shenandoah county, Nirgnis, and at an early
age was removed 10 Kentucky; from thence he
removed TO Ohio, and thence TO this State and
this neghborhood in 1880. He was pioneer
and early settler in these States! What revolu.

NEGROES BURNT Ar CARTHAGE.-We noticed

Scott had not been taken. He was caught in
the prairie, about fifteen miles foom Carthage
taken to the town and tried, and was pronounced
guilty, though he refused to make any confess
ion: The negro belonging to Dale had previ-
ously confessed the whole matter. They de-
coyed DIR. Fisk from home by pretending that
Mr.. Daies child was sick, and they had been
sent for him. He had gone but little way,
when one Of the negroes knocked him in the
head with an AK, and killed him. They both
went to the heuse--one of them knocked Mrs
Fisk down with his fist, and after brutally ac.
complishing their desires on her, killed her with
the same axe that killed her husband choked
the child TO death, set fire to the house in two
places, and left.
The citizens Of the surrounding country de-
ternined TO give warning TO all future trans
gressors of the kind, took the negroes out of
the hands Of the officers, and burned them OH
Saturday last, about 10 o'clock. They both
made confessions after being chained to the stake

UNEXPECTED REVELATIONS FROM CHINA

movement in China from the eye of the worlt
at large, is being gradually withdrawn. The
sights disclosed are rather startling. The revo.

tianity! Heretofore it has been supposed that
the Chinese cherished a hatred of the Christian
name. The change is an unexpected one. Il
