him we learn that the celebrated chest

tween American Girl, Lady Thorn,
Lucy, and Goldsmith Maid, over two
months since. Bashaw subsequently
took part in a race with Myron Perry
and Fearnaught, on which occasion his
lameness was greatly aggravated, and
has necessited his withdrawal since
then. While being treated for lameness
the horse has become rank and wild,
and, although all right now, SO far as
the leg is concerned, he will not be in
condition for several weeks yet. 1t is
the intention Of Mr.. Fawett to allow the
horse to remain idle until the fall meet

THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE, put in
an appearance, Saturday afternoon, ac-
cording to programme, and was eagerly
watched during its different phases
toward totality by an interested crowd
of spectators consisting Of every one
with strength enough in the neck to
elevate the chin. Indeed, as the inter-
est deepened from the imminence Of the
climacteric moment, had the man in the
moon given glance in this direction he
would certainly have seen Upton to-
tally eclipsed by fragmentory cover
ing of spoked glass. Murky bits of
broken panes commanded high prem
ium for a white, and the citizens of Tip
ton, as a class, took u higher stand than
ever before, (even when beer was ban
ished) most Of them, or at least, very
many of them standing on the roofs of
the houses, while the cupola of the
court house was never in its earliest and
most popular days, SO well peopled.
Quite u number of enthusiastic gazers,
eager to find an original and complete
way Of beholding the grand spectacle,
tried looking through the bottoms of
tumbiers and bottles. No matter if they
did find them filled with hardly trans
lucent nuid-such was their zeal that
coincident with the movement which
brought the vessel before the upturned
eyes, its contents would be emptied into
the open mouth. The result Of this
plan seemed to be everything, if not
more, that was desired, and not only
did its followers see more in the same
time but the eclipse lasted them at least
four hours longer than it did anybody
else.
But the eclipse itself was "a decided
success" The most glowing accounts
of the beauty and sublimity Of the mo-
ment of totality rendered by those who
have previously seen spectacle of this
kind, seemed tame aud insufficient in
deed as one gazed for himself upon its
glories.

ScAT!-If anything can make night
more hideous than a cat, it is two cats;
aud Upton is so we'll stocked with the
race that many dooryards can afford a
nightly entertainment by at least half
dozen of them. AS for utility, it only
makes the rats more impudent to
have them around; and to our mind,
the only useful moment OF their feline
existence will be the one in which it de-
parts from them, aud the only pleasant
sound, their individual dying groan.

Lunar Heat,

lord Rosso has been meaauring snyg
Once Week, the heat that comes to us
from the moon. Using ono Of his great
rejecting telescopes rs burning mirror
he has condensed the moons rays upon
on of the most delicate of heat gaugers u
thermo-pile. Without being ablo to deter
mino by what fraction of n Falrnnhoits b
degree the lunar warmth increases tie tenn
-perRtUre Of the terrestrial atmosphere, he
has found, as mn approximation, that the
radiation from the moon is about the nine
ty-thousandthpart Of that from tho sun.
He conceiyes that the variation of heat
from ono satellite follows the same
law as that Of its light, viz, that
wo have most warmth from
the full moon, and least from, the nearly
new. BY comparison with the terrestrial
source of heat, Lord Rosse estimates the
actual temperature of the moons surface at
lunar midday to be about five hundred de-
grees Fahrenheit. This scorching results
from tho slow rotation of the moon which
makes It's day equal to our month, and from
the absence Of any atmosphere to screen
the lunar world. Years ago Sir John Her
schel, who has more than once proved him
self aprophot by his sagacious inferences,
remarked that "the surface Of the full
moon exposed to us must necessarily be
very much heated, possibly to degree
much exceeding that of boiling water"
FOntenelle and his followers TO the contra
ry Notwithstanding, the moon can be no
place for living beings, unless they IRE sal
amanders. tH
