The Crops.

The following accords with what we read
in our exchanges, from all parts OF the coun-
try
The Detroit Free Press says: We believe
there has not for many years heen spring
when the wheat throughout the country
gave such promise of an abundant harvest
as it does now From all quarters the ac
counts are of the most cheering character.
From all parts of our own State we have the
same intelligence. The fields of Iowa and
Missouri are also very promising, and we
receive none but the must favorable accounts
from Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and the
wheat growing portions OF New York and
Canada. The only exceptions to the unu
sually encouraging prospect which have
come under our notice, are in portions o
Virginia and Tennessee. If the Sc ason con
tinues as favorable as it has begun we shall
have a most abundant harvest.

reports have re"a e ! US, the wh'a crop in

Eclipse of the Moon.

The total eclipse of the Moon came off
last night according to appointment. The
weather was very favorable for the exhibi-
ton, though we presume there would have
been no postponement on account Of wealth.
er had it been bad.
At 8 o'closk the moon shone out unobscu-
red, but few minutes before 3 o'clock she
had commanced gliding into the earth's sha-
dow, and continued her shadowy transit for
, hours and AZ minutes. The total eclipse
lasted for hour and 8 minutes.
According to a writer in the National In
telligencer, at the time of the greatest eclipse
the moon was in the zenith of point on the
eartlls surface, situated in latitude is deg.
9 min. south, longitude 81 deg. 81 min. west,
which point may be considered the pole Of a
great circle, dividing the earth into two
hemlsPheres, in one Of which the phenome.
non was visible, but in the other invisible,
except perchance by those who dwell only a
short distance beyond this great boundary
More vigorously, the limit here to be imag-
lned is the periphery of section of the ter
restria) spheroid, parallel to this great circle
dividing the spheroid into two unequal parts,
but for the present purpose mathematical
precision may not be necessary.
The Chinese, Hindoos, and other inhabi-
tants of that section of the earth were excu.
ded from the privilege of seeing this eclipse,
and the millions who might have seen il
were asleep at the time; but the more favo-
red people of this country might have look
ed upon it before retiring to rest.
To account for the dismal reddish color OF
the moon in an eclipse, it is supposed that
this light is part Of that which, being de-
composed in passing through the earth's at.
mosphere, is refracted out of its true course
into direction towards the moon.
The most important result that has per.
haps ever been deduced from the observa.
lions of the lunar eclipses in the astronomi.
cal fact of ''tbe acceieration of the moons
mean notion" Ptolemy has recorded the
day and the hour of an eclipse of the moon
which occurred in the year 72l before Christ
Ibu Junis recorded another observed at Ca.
rio towards the close of the tenth century
These compared with eclipses observed in
our days proves that the moon moves more
rapidly in her orbit than she did 5000 years
ago. The cause Of this aoceIeration has beer
fnlly developed by the great writer's on PLY
sical Astronomy.-[ Wheeling Intelligenccr

Ohio Politics NO Union of Know
Nothingism with Freesoilism.

AS we expected, the Freesoilers indig-
nantly repudiate the idea Of forming fu-
sion with the Know Nothing party, whose
principals are diametrical!y opposed to them
in every respect. We comm nd to the ate
of our cotemporary of the Republican who is
trying to have oil and water mix, the fol.
lowing very significant article from the Ash
tabuls Sentinel, well known Freesol or
gan, which speaks the sentiments Of Mr..
Giddings. The Sentinel says:
"We continually meet with articles in the
papers advocating the American THAT is
Native party expressing the hope that the e
will be union and harmony between the
Republican and Know Nothing organiza-
tions, thus conveying the idea that there are
two great parties in this State that are near
y allied, that may make something in the
union of forces till one or the o'ber gets
strong enough to go alone. There was
much of this short time since in the Gin
cinnati papers, till the city elections settled
the question of Nativeism or Know Moth
ingism pretty satisfactorily. There was an
attempt to convey the idea that the
great victory of last fall was an Ameican
victory at least in Cincinnati The loss of
five thousand votes corrected this mistake,
however, and now the Importance of union
is urged. Against this idea we protest.
for ourselves, and the Republicans Of this
part of Ohio Our views of the KnowNoth.
ing movement are we'll understood.
"We scorn the idea OF secret political
organization, and believe it subversive OF
the cause of liberty, calculated to promote
deception, false dealing among men, and
every kind Of trickery and unfarness, to say
nothing of universal dstrust in and out OF
it. Nativeism is unjust, Liberal and un.
American. Ofcourse we will not unite
with such party under any compact what
ever Many good men doubtless differ with
us on these subjects, and we are willing
they shonld enjoy these opinions.

Coop SENsE.-The New York Times, in
the course of "a column of talk for men on
small wages" has this orthodox paragraph
on the subject OF dress:-"Then as to dress

Lame called on Charity, and humby ask

"What, ask fora cracker and receive loaf?''
"Well, will ask for a loaf"
Lazy now applied to Charity and called
for loaf OF bread.
"Your demand for loaf" said Charity
"proves that you are loafer. You are oI

"Only Some Laborer's Child"

Anson G. Chester, the pact editor of the
Buffalo Express, writes as follows touching
the aristocratic tendencies of the present age:
These individual distinctions, barriers,
demarcations, which so infest the present
time are among the greatest pests Of society.
There would be no such thing as upper and
lower classes, if men and women were not
poisoned by the hurtful venom Of Fashion
and aristocracy. We owe our present con-
dition TO ourselves, and stand alone in our
opinions of men.
"Onl some laborer's child!' A pretty
speech for the lips of woman to utter She
must forget the origin of Jesus-she cannot
have read the story of Bethlehem. Perhaps
she has even forgotten her own birth histo-
ry, We wonder how her children are
whether they are more beautiful, promising
and brilliant than the children of her poorer
neighbors. Have known many rich man
to father deformity. Perhaps this lady is
The mother of young wretch who smokes
cigars, wears standing collars, and drinks
otard, in his fourteenth year.
"Ouly some laborer's childp' Oh, how
we hate such nonsense. And yet the term
contains compliment. God knows we
would rather have that little girls mother
for ours than to be the son Of the exquisite
feminine who uttered this sentence. Labor
is honorable, glorious. We have yet tc find
that any such characteristics pertain to soft
headed aristocrscy. We have yet to learn
that money and station enlarge the heart,
expand the soul and multiply the moral prin-
ciples of our being. If Justice was done,
the crown would be placed upon the brow
Of the peasant, and kings would do the grub
bing.
We hope tbs "lady" who made the remark
which forms the subject Of this article, will
ponder over what we have written, and see
if the sneer looks we'll in print. We lay q
reasonable wager that she, herself, was nur
sed by poor mother, and that her station
is due to chance rather than desert. This
may be plain talk, but it is honest.
"Only laborer's child!' ruby to rose
that this very child does more good, gains
more affection, and lies down in more tran
quill grave tt an the lady whose sneer we
have thus recorded.

JENNIE GREGOR'S PRIZE;
THE LOST BR A C E L E 7.
BY FRED HUNTER.

Between the shire town Of Kircudbright
and Port Patrick, upon the extreme south
westerly point Of Scotland, there is bay
makes up inland, above the Null of Gal
loway, where the northern fisherman often
find shelter from the rough weather that
overtaLes them in the edge of the Irish Sea,
and which has served as capital harbor
for the small craft Ct that region many
time, upon the approach of hurricane out
side.
Among the families of hardy Scotch peo-
pile who resided along the shore there, ma
ny yeats ago, was one by the name of Gre
gor-M Gregor had been the original name
but the first syllable had been dropped iby
the descendants of The more illustrious Of
this race, and this family were known SIM
ply as the Gregors. Jenny Oregon was the
daughter of the fisherman, and he had two
other children, sons, who were engagrd
with ihe father upon the small sloop they
owned, and which was employed most of
the time on the fishing grounds.
Jennie was a fair-haired lasse, who sang
sweetly, and who was always happy, thongh
the Gregors were poor enough in purse, and
she was obliged to rise early aud work
steadily at the wheel or about the house, to
aid in the family's support. But, as she
turned the briskly spinning wheel, or bore
the well filed pail from spring or COW house
she was always the same merry, bonnie
lass, ever joyous and rejoicing with herself
and those who surrounded her.
And Jennie came and went beloved by
all and idolized BY her father. She was,
indeed, brilliant star in the somewhat cir.
eumscribed horizon that encirced her, and
her fond parent often declared that if for.
tune dealt with her according to her deserts
she would one day shine in a hrighter.sphere
than the humble one she now occupied.
But the tickle dame had thus far proved
herself Tin Jennie's CASEY graceless lag

her to gang ava and be his BRIDE though
she would gladly have danced Ger the bills

made his appearance. And Jennie Gregol
had come to be eighteen years old.
One afternoon late in the season, the
wind suddenly fieshened, and before nigh
the little feet of sloops and schooners made

and the experience Of the fisherman taught

was promising, however, and one or two 0
