TIE EcLlPsE.-The Horntown Morn
ing Blowhard says that the eclipse Of
the sur in India did not take place yea
terday, according to its almanac; and
that the delegation from the Blowhard
Office, which rushed furiously up to the
top Of Mount Davidson to view the
grand spectacle in India and the Orien-
tai Islands, failed TO get sight Of it, and
hence it could not have taken place.
Now, ice have an almanac in this office
which distinctly sets the time as the l4th
Of August yesterday. The almanac
in the Blowhard office is evidently not
very reliable on dates, if We may judge
Of the present date in the Blowhard.
By referring to the top of the first inside
column, in this (Saturday's) issue, the
reader will find "Friday morning, Au'
gust l4th;" and again, near the top oil
the FIRST column on its third page, can
be seen "Friday morning, August 18th"
The Blowhard and its almanac are both
q day behind the times. However, to
accommodate the Blowhard, we will
postpone the eclipse in India for a day
or two, TO give its local another chance
10 climb Mount Davidson, and with
smoked glass take q peep over into
India. Perchauce he may get sight of
the man in the moon; or he may pos
sibly solve the old vexed question,
whether the moon is made of green
cheese. Peradventure, he may get
sight of the great approaching "seua-
torial party" now IN its way over the
plains. Hu nose?

oIurder and Suicide,

The Utica Herald relates the follow.
ing.
A horrible murder and suicide OF
Cured at the village Of Antwerp, JEFF
feIson County, on Tuesday last. The
tragedy happened at tho residence of a
Mrs. Wait, a widow lady, living abou,
TWO miles from Antwerp, and on the
road leading to the village of Oxboro.
The facts are these: Mchitnbel Rey-
nolds, wife of one Eusign Reynolds, was
shot by her husband while in the act OF
carrying milk from the stable 10 the
house, she being in the employ of Mrs.
Wait.
1t appears that domestic difficulties
had for some time cmbittered their
union, causing them to live apart, and
which had on several occasions caused
Reynolds to threaten the life of his wife,
a threat which she feared he would car
~ out. She accordingly refused TO
milk alone, as she had previously done.
Two boys were assisting her at the
time, who caught sight Of the villain just
as he was climbing over n wall, gun in
hand. Suspecting his errand, they
threatened to stone him il he didn't
leave. He paid no attention to them,
but springing off the wall, confronted
his wife. Knowing bis intentions, she
throw up her arms, and implored q mo-
meut to say her prayers. mot By
replied the brute, and immedi'
ately fred.
The FIRST discharge (the gun being II
double-barreled fowling piece) tore the
flesh from her arm and took of one
finger. The second he aimed With bet
ter care, entered the chest at the base
Of tho neck, driving n small pin
which she wore deep into the wound,
The monster then walked unconcerned-
" away. He Was followed by the boys
10 the border Of the wood, where, !,
being dark, they abandoned the pursuit.
One Of them came Immediately to tho
village, and parties went in search
which they also abandoned until tue
morning following. About ~ o'clock
on Wednesday, a party in search were
startled by the report Of a gun a shor,
distance of. 0ns nearer approach
Reynolds was found lying on the ground,
the victim Of his own ~depravity.
Tho charge, which he had intended
for the heart entered at the pit Of the
stomach and came out near the spinal
column. He survived his wound one
hour and q half. He confessed his
guilt, assigning as his reason his love
for his wife. He had so arranged his
gun upon q twig, which he had trimmed
for the purpose, that he could hold the
muzzle at his breast and by a Sigh,
witch cause it to 60 off. Reynolds was
abou. t~wenty-eight years of age, and
his wife two or three years bis junior
They leave n child, a little girl, abou,
three years old.

ON GUARD.

Among the numerous notices aud iu.
scriptions borne in the procession ut the
late celebration Of the 4th Of July, was
that of the little company Of veteran
soldiers: ''Ready at our country's CALL
Those men had seen service fighting
for their country on the battle fields OF
the rebellious South, aud not a few OF
them bore honorable scars in testimony
of their valorous patriotism. To doubt
their answering loyalty to their coun-
try, their full appreciation Of the motto
they bore, and true devotion to the
starry flag waving over them, were
simply a crime and on insult which
could not openly be offered them with
IMMUNITY.
There are many thousands Of these
loyal souls scattered everywhere
throughout the country. Their names
are inscribed on the muster rolls OF the
''Boys in Blue" and Freedoms De-
feuders," and thousands Of them ever
have never laid down their arms since
they FIRST marched forth ut their coun-
try's call at the commencement Of the
traitors rebellion. The old veterans
are still on guard, and in view of the
willfully belligereut attitude oil apparens'
ly unconquered rebels in the South, and
their black-hearted yet cowardly friends
Of the Brick Pomeroy stripe, who are
charitably allowed to dwell and eIpend
their impo,ent vituperations among the
people of the loyal States, those watch
full soldiers Of the Republic will still
guard her honor with an ever vigilaut
eve on oil such would-be traitors. II
were we'll that these matchmaking con-
s~pirators should keep quiet. 1t were
we'll that they should realize that the
hundred thousand veterans ready OF
their country's call are but the nucleus
around which will rally hundreds Of
thousands more, marching to the de-
Tense Of the national honor and the
good old flag. A second civil war would
be bloodier and more decisive than the
first. God grant that the 'long rolf
may never be sounded, calling forth to
battle the loyal thousands of whom we
speak-,he veterans on guard, and
those who are ever ''ready Mt our couu'
| try,s call.p

Tur ETERNAL WoRD.-No fragment Of
auy army ever survived 30 many battles
as tho Bible no citadel ever withstood
so many sieges; no rock was ever bat
tered by so many storms. And yet it
stands. Il has seen the rise and down
fall of Daniels four empires. Assyria
b~equeaths a few mutilated figures to tue
riches of our national museum. Media
and Persia, Ike Babylon which they
conquered, have been weighed in tho
balance and long ago found wanting.
Greece family survives in its historic
fame: 'Tis living Greece no more !"
and the iron Rome Of The Caesars is held
in precarious occupation BY a feeble
hand. .
And yet the book that foretells all
this still survives. While nations,
kings, philosophers, systems, institu-
tions, have died away, the Bible en-
cages now mems deepest thoughts, is
examined By the keeuest intolleets,
stands revered before the highest tribu-
nails, is more read and sifted and de.
bated, more devoutly loved and more
yehemently assaulted, more defended mud
more denied, more industriously and
freely given to the world, more honored
and more abused than any other book

moved BY none ; it sees all things de-

Tho Blockade Of Mazntlsn-Dcbate
tho House Of Lords.

Iu0 nouse VI boEu
In the House Of Lords On the evening
Of the 10Th: NJ
The Earl Of Denbigh rose to iuquite
whether it were true that a frigate was
~blockading the port Of Mazallan, and,
if 80, whether such blockade had been
authorized by her Majesty in Council
and published in the Gazette. Tue no.
BILE lord remarked that, since he bad
placed hi. notice on the paper, further
particulars Of the alleged blockade had
been published in the newspapers. The
blockading Of II port was a very impor.
taut operation, and ought to be carried
out In q very cautious manner. He
might remark that, some years ago, in
the blocknding Of Jeddah, great difficult
ties and complications had arisen. If
the accounts of nhat had occurred at
Mazatlan were accurate, the British
commander appeared to have acted III
IN outrageous manner, aud 10 have
proved himself unfit TO remain in her
Mujesty's service. He would not take
up any more Of their lordsbips' time,
but would simply ask whether the Gov
ernmcnt had received any authentic in-
formation on that matter.
The Earl of Maluesbury-In reply to
the question of my noble friend, | have
to state that her Majesty's Government
have not received any of those details
which he seems to have obtained
through the American newspapers.
Your lordships will judge for your
selves-for I cannot pronounce any
opinion on the subject-whether these
details are likely to be authentic or not.
All that her Majesty's Government have
heard is that on the 4th Of July the
Admiralty learn by a telegram that IN
outrage having been committed on some
British seamen or British subjrcts-l
know not exactly which - Captain
Bridges Of the Chanticl er, took upon
himself TO stop the enterauce to the
port Of Mazatlan. quite agree with
my noble friend in stating that IN officer
has no right or his own responsibility
to commit such an act as that. At the
same time there are circumstances
which justify breache, of the law, as
your lordships know. But, not know
iub oh1 VI kuUsS StLSuuothnSCo, nv
opinion a be pronounced on that
point. On the 10th of this month the
Admiralty also received q telegraphic
dispatch from Vice Admiral Hastings,
saying that he had sent orders to Capt.
Bridges to raise the blockade. That is
all that We have heard on the subject,
aud no other authentic intelligence has
reached US. I cannot help here no.
ticing what was said by my noble friend
with respect to a very grave event which
occurred ONE years ago Mt Jeddah. He
seemed to think very lightly of It, and
talked of some sailors being stopped, or
something Of that sort.
The Earl of Denbigh-l said "mor-
tally injured"
The Earl of Malmesbury-Not only
were they mortally injured, but they
were murdered. IA laugh The
Turkish authorities refusing, after ne
gotiation, to take any notice Of the sub
feet or to bring the %murderers to justice,
Captain Pullen, with the full authority
of his Government, bombarded the
town; and l have never heard before
that that act Of justice was found fault
with, either in this country or any other
part of Europe.

LONDON WANTS MORE WATER.-The peo-
pie of London are beginning to feel the
want of more water, and to look about to
see how the supply is to be increased. Five
schemes have been presented for securing
an ample supply of the proper purity.
They embrace the sources of the Severn, the
Cumberland lakes, the Thames water FL
tered through the Bagshot sands, reservoirs
placed near the sources of the Thames, and
the waters flowing down the Derbyshire
and Statfordshire hills. They are immense
-Asssdsrtakings; but the wants of SO great a
city as London must be supplied, no matter
what the difficulty or cost in the way.
AT present, according to London letter
in the New York World, "the water fur
nished is too impure in quality to be fit
" for use. 1t is excessively contaminated
" with sewage, and is too hard to be used
" for many purposes-domestic and indus.
" trial. Every gallon of water delivered
in London has to be pumped up from
nearly the sea-level to an average height
" of ESQ feet, and then the supply is unre-
/" liable. Immense engines, consuming 200
/" tons of coal per diem, are necessary to
" raise the present daily supply of lOO,-
/" 100000 gallons to the required level"
The different schemes proposed run from
cost of s55,00O,OoO to s6S,OOO,OOO and
promise supply of from 22O,oOo,Ooo to
250, 100000 gallons day.

The killing of Two Men In North
Carolina.

Carolina.
A Fayetteville correspondent of the Dis
patch writes:
A frightful and fatal rencontre took place
here on the 18th instant between two OF Our
citizens. On the western railroad train,
coming into Fayetteville in the afternoon,
R. W. Stedman Democrat) and DR.. W. H.
Morrow radical and messenger in bank
ruptcy) became engaged in an alteration
growing out of politics, in which weapons
were displayed, though the parties were
restrained by their respective friends. On
the arrival of the train both walked down
Hay street, Morrow crossing over to the
Fayetteville Hotel, where he stood about IN
the passage and at the front entrance.
Stedman passed on down the street, but
soon returned, crossed over, and stood on
the pavement outside the hotel. A few
words were interchanged, when DR.. Nor
row drew revolver, Mr.. Stedman doing
the same and firing Immediately, the ball
entering his antagonists body just below the
left nipple. The wounded man fell, and,
exclaiming "He has killed me-" struggled
UP on his elbow and fired. Shots were then
calmly given and received. Stedman firing
four times and Morrow three. Another ball
entered the latter's right thigh, and his
third shot entered Stedman's right side.
Stedman then staggered around to the side
entrance and sat in the doorway, but soon
fell over on his side. He lived about half
an hour. Morrow fingered in great agony
until the next day at about II A. Nj.
R. w. Stedman was unmarried, of good
family, aged about thirty years. Morrow
leaves wife and two children.
