LOE, in the 23d year of his age On the 18th ul-
timo he babe adieu to earth, to enter upon the
enduring joys of Heaven. His suferings were
great. and protracted; but no murmur ever escaped
his lips. He associated but little with this world.
Its pleasures charmed him not. He seemed in
.tinctiyely conscious that his days would be few;
which caused him quietly and unassumingly to
close hs heart earthly pleasures and prepare for
the mansions which had been prepared for him
above. On Sunday morning, he received the sum
mons. He went in peace, and is now united with
his loved ones "who went before" and employed

The EcLIPsE.-Intelligent and observing
as were those early Astronomers, the Chal-
deans they fnled to discover the cause of Il
lunar Eclipse The solution of this problem
was reserved for the Egyptians, who having
satisfied themselves of the globular form of
the earth, very properly inferred that it must
cast shadow; it docs cast shadows gi-
gamtic shadow, stretching into space to the
enormous distance of eight hundred thousand
miles from the earth. 1t il the entrance of
the moon into this shadow that causes its
eclipse. The eclipse yesterday morning, not
withstanding the presence Of a light haze for
q limited time, was, on the whole, favorably
observed. The sky being quite clear ut the
commencement, the gradual darkening Of
the moon, caused by its development in the
pcnumbra, previous to the actual contact
was clearly perceived. The true shadow
touched the moon ut eleven minutes to four
o'clock, and gradually and beautifully ira
ycrscd its surface until the whole WAS hid
Immediately succeeding the moment of COM
pletc immersion, the telescope appearance
was quite peculiar and interesting-the eye,
being no longer dazzled by the moons bril-
liant light, could readily distinguish upon its
surface several shades of color, passing gra-
dually from faint blue to a dull coppery
red and, notwithstanding the darkness of
the shadow, many of the well-known craters
and mountain ranges upon the moon, were
even then dimly visible.

THE SUEz CANAL project of NJ. De Lesseps
is about TO assume practical shape. The four
hundred thousand shares, into which the
capital stock Of two hundred million francs
for forty million dollars) is divided, have
been disposed of, and unless unforeseen OBJ
stacles shall interpose, the work Of connect
ing the Mediterranean with the Red Sea,
and thus realizing in the East what Columbus
sought in the West--a new route to the In
dies-will soon be commenced. A recent
number of the Journal de PLsthme de Suez
contains a statement showing the number of
shares subscribed for in various countries,
from which we learn that over one-half, or
%, III 4 are held in the French Empire, and
~, $50 in other countries. Five thousand
shares, representing five hundred thousand
dollars, are held in the United States, an
amount nearly equal to that held in England.
In the latter country, however, the project
has never met much encouragement. 1t is
essentially a French undertaking, and has
had It's greatest pecuniary success in France.
Nearly three thousand shares were subscribed
for in the cities of Lyons and Marseilles, and
in yincennes an entire regiment of the line
subscribed, every man, from the colonel to
the drummer, contributing his quota, thus
adding over forty thousand francs to the sub
scription list.-N. y. Post.
