What an Eclipse Might Re,

A correspondent of the Boston Post says
I" Few people trouble themselves to think
what the effect would he if the eclipse of
Saturday were to last any length of time
and the sun were blotted from the heavens.
Philosophy declares that not only would q
horror of darkness cover the earth, but the
moisture of the atmosphere would be pre-
cipitated in vast showers to the earth, and
the temperature fall to fearful point of
cold, nothing less than $50 degrees below
zero, Fahrenheit. The earth would be the
seat of darkness, and more than arctic des-
olatlon. Nothing could survive such freez-
ing cold moment, more than one could
breathe in a scalding water. In three days
after the cooling process began, nothing crea-
ted would be alive but monsters, that wallow
in the deep ocean and the eyeless reptiles
that make their haunts in caves which pene-
trate far under ground. 4t ..r -roa

INTERNATIONAL. PosrAI. Npnrp,

INTERNATIONAL POSTAL ORDERs.-Ar-
rangements have been entered into between
the United States and Switzerland. whereby
the Swiss In this country may obtain money
orders on their own country, and thus safely
remit portion of their own earnings to
their native homes, if they desire to do so.
The exchange of postal orders between
the two countries is to be effected through
the agency of two post offices termed "In-
ternational Exchange Offices"
The International Exchange Office on the
part of the United States is New York and
that on the part of Switzerland is Bale.
Certain money-order post offices in this
country, designated for the purpose by the
Postmaster General, are authorized to issue
money orders on the Postmaster at New
York, payable to benefciaries in Switzer-
land, and to pay orders issued by that post
master, for sums by the Post Department of
Switzerland, for payment to benefciaries in
the United States. Hence, an International
Money Order cannot be drawn by post
master in either country directly upon
postmaster in the other, but must be drawn
upon the International Exchange Office of
the country in which the order is issued
An International Postal Order must not
be drawn for larger sum than fifty dollars
in United States currency, and must not con-
tain fractional part of cent
The fees for the issue of International
Postal Orders are the same as for domestic
money orders, to-wit: On orders not ex-
ceeding $50, ten cents; over $40 and not
exceeding $50, fifteen cents; over $50, and
not exceeding $40, twenty cents; over $40,
and not exceeding $50, TWENTY-FIVE cents.
No other currency Transmitted States or
National Bank notes can be received or
paid.
In North Carolina, these orders can be
obtained at Raleigh post office, Charlotte.
Goldsboro', Greensboro, Newbern and Will
mington
The following rates of charges for ex-
chanSe VIII be deducted by the postmaster
at New York, from the value in T. S. gold
of international orders on Switzerland:
On orders not exceeding $50, twenty
cents; over $40, and not exceeding $50,
thirty conts; over $50, and not exceeding
$40, forty cents; over $40, and not exceed
ing $50, fifty cents.

An Earthquake Coming---A California
JENKINS,
State Treasurer.

An Earthquake Coming-..A California
Savant Predicts a Heavy Shaking-up
of Things in September or October.
The San Francisco Chronicle publishes the fol.
lowing prediction, made by local philosopher,
W. Frank Stewart:
During the past eighteen months the earth
and other planets completed the most remarka-
BILE conjunction which has ever occurred and
on the night of the 14th of last November we
again witnessed the grand thirty-four-year star
swarm. Every intelligent person is aware that
for period of nearly two years our globe has
been subject to violent perturbatIons, such as
have not before occurred for many centuries
These perturbations have been generally over
the surface of the planet. Storms, typhoons,
volcanoes, earthquakes, intense cold and scorch-
ing winds have alternately spent their fury upon
the denizens of every hemisphere. By careful
observation, astronomers have found that in o
period of about eleven years the sun turns to-
wards us remarkably spotted disc, and it has
also been observed that any sudden changes of
light and shade upon the sun during this spotted
period instantly affect terrestrial magnets. lis
well known that in the autumn OF 1859 one of
these sun-spot perturbations was Immediately
followed by one of the most brilliant Aurora
Borealis ever witnessed in the northern hems-
phere; and still more surprising the magnetic
effect of the aurora was SO great that messages
were freely sent over telegraphic lines without
connection with the batteries and by means of
the aurora current alone. Many additional facts,
showing the connection of celestial with terres-
trial magnetism, might be given, but I have
neither the time nor room at present. Suffice it
to say, that as the earth's magnetic forces are
now and for many months have been greatly
disturbed by cosmical influences; and as we have
recently made our annual transit through the
nebulous belt; and as the suns surface is at this
moment dsfgured by an unusual number of
spots; and as the moon on the 7th instant passed
between us and the sun, thereby causing an ad-
ditional magnetic disturbance upon the earth
and as we on the Pacific coast are now expe-
riencing an unusually protracted dry season, the
invarable precursor of tblo,s in this part of the
world; for the foregoing and many other potent
reasons, predict heavy earthquake to take
place early next autumn, as soon as moist clouds
float in the dry, vaporiess atmosphere.

GREATLY NEEDED.-When Miss Dix
many years ago, visited our city, in the in
terest OF suffering humanity, and urged oul
Legislature then in session to build an Asy.
ium Tor the Insane, opposition sprung up
and the benevolent lady almost despaired
of her mission but, in q written appeal
she succeeded, and the State erected the
present building and named the place "Dix
HILL" Then it was thought by all that the
accommodations would be ample for all that
class OF our people-noao, it is evident, that
it is insufficient to accommodate more than
half who are begging, by their cries and
tears, to be cared for by the State
We urge, in behalf of these unfortunate
creatures, the erection of two additional
wings, at least one hundred and fifty feet
in length by fifty in width-this addition
will greatly alleviate the great and increas-
ing amount of suffering caused by insanity.
Under the benevolent auspices of the
State, carried forward by DR.. Grissom and
his competent corps, many have been restor-
ed to their reason, and families scattered
throughout the State have been made to
rejoice
Let the wings be erected at once--there is
no time to question the propriety when the
needed is apparent. The people who pay
the tax have right to demand that their
unfortunate friends shall have admittance to
the Asylum.
