TIE GREAT SOLAR EcL1psE.-Com-
modore B. f. Sands, superintendent
United States Naval Observatory, has
addressed a letter to meteorological OBJ
servers along the line of the totality Of
the solar eclipse of August7th, Here
quests that, commencing at midnight
of August 9th, hourly observations be
taken with a barometer, dry bulb; wet
bulb and solar thermometers, and with
an actinometer-an instrument used to
measure the direct heat radiations from
the sun and the varying intensities of
light. During the eclipse observations
should be taken every ten minutes. In
structions are given as to the proper po-
sitions in which to place the instruments.
Commodore Sands states that the belt
Of country in e United States over
which the eclipse will appear total, is
about l40 miles wide, and from the
coast of North Carolina, stretches away
in a north westerly direction through
North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois aud Iowa.
He gives a list of the cities and towns
through which the central line Of the
belt passes.-Richmond Enquirer.

A TRUE HISTORY.

When AMEs' N. o. Circus was in
this town, State tax of Fifty dollars was
sought to be levied out Of their goods
and chattels. The legality of imposing
this tax was denied, but an attachment
was taken out before one of the Magis-
tratcs IN this County, who holds various
other offices besides that of Magistrate,
and the writ handed over to the Sheriff
for action. But the Magistrate being
rather anxious as to the fate Of his writ
and costs, took it from the hands of the
Sheriff and proceeded to collect it HIM
self. The treasurer of the circus COM
pany finding that if the tax was not
paid, horse or some other property of
the company would attached-and
held, they being strangers and unable
to give.the requisite security, offered a
compromise oftwenty- five dollars, which
the Magistrate accepted and the attach
2ment was dissolved. This arrangement
however, did not suit the Clerk of the
Court, at whose instance the writ was
issued, and he threatened Ito hold the
Magistrate responsible for the whole
amount called for, on the very just
grcuad, that they either had the auI
thority to compel the Circus Company
to pay the whole tax or.nothing. !
The Clerk acted under an act of the
General Assembly ratified A. D. 1866,
entitled, Gan act to raise supp les for
the current year &C." which expired by
its own Limitation in one year from its
date, and similar to an act as passed
every year for the same purpose If raj
sing supplies &c, for the government
of the State! The Circus Company was
not compellable to pay any tax at all of
this nature, because circus companies
are not enumerated in the list of those
companies or corporations liable to tax.
alton, under the -Aetof 1sGs7-~a4es'-
regulates taxation. If they were liable'
it is strange indeed that in no other
place but in Camden were they forced
to pay this tax. But since the deed is
done, we suppose the County Commits
sioners and the Magistrate will settle
the hash according to the best of their
ability. . = !

"A curious case was recently tried Ut

4 Russian colonel recently sold one Of
his horses to a merchant at high price,
intima.ing at the same time that he
was v, ry loathe to part with it, the ami
NAL being so capable and intelligent as
'only to. want tongue in order to be
perfect.' The mcrchant's delight at
his bargain, however, was somewhat
dashed by the news brought him next
day by his groom that the horse was in
capable Of drinking properly, having
only. half tongue. At this fatal rave

How our Democratic ~ President
regards the people is shown from the
fact that 'the beautiful and spacious
grounds around the Executive Mansion,
which heretofore have been open to the
public, are to be considered private
hereafter, and no one outside of the
Presidents household will be allowed
to trespass. The mall south of thelex-
ecutive grounds is also. closed to the
public, and is used as pasture for the

THE DIRECT LAND TAX AT THE
SoUrH.-There is some talk of epforc-
ing the collection of the direct land tax
in the South. The Southern States
share of this tax-which amounted to
twenty millions among all the States
was six millions. Of:this sum only a.
bout three millions has been paid into
the Treasury from the Southern States.
It will be remembered that when this
amount had been collected President
johnson sent q message to Congress
setting forth that in view of the poverty
produced in the South by the war it
would in many instances, be ruinous to
that section to enforce the collection of
thestax atthat' time, and recommending
that it be suspended for some time, so

THE CRops-The long continued
drought in the middle and upper Sec
tions of the State is causing deep ankle
~ to the farmers. and all onr adgioea
agree in reporting that will be largely
in Both quantity and quality. Weare
informed that along the line Of the rail-
road between Kingvile and Whining
ton, N. c., q distance ofone hundred
and seventy miles, there is not an acre
of corn. which is not seriously injured.
But the weather which is unfavorablc
to corn will improve the quality ofup-
land cotton, and will give us an early
crop if not so large in quantity. as was
at one time expected. In the low coun-
try the rice is suffering for the want of
rain. The small streams are so salty.that
the fields cannot be flooded, but long
continued showers will enable the plan
ters to make an average crop. From
the sea islands the cotton reports are
highly favorable. and there is every
reason to expect better crop of long
cotton than we have had for many years.
The caterpillar now can do no more
harm. Our great foe is powerless.
Farmers and planters often look at
the blue side, but, making all proper al
lowanccs for low splits and popular
exngscration, it may be said that the
drought has already done much harm,
and will, if it lasts much longer, largely
curtail the fair proportion Of the corn
and upland cotton crops Of the State.
