sui. General, The foreign Consuls have,
I believe, entered their protest.
nFour c%reoles, prosecuted by the police
at Havana, sought shelter and protection
in one Of the American Steamers then In
harbour, but were pursued, the American
Captain refused TO allow the police on
board, and spread the American flag across
the gangway, but the police trampled
upon the flag and took the creoles prison
ers this has created a great disturbance
at Havana.
The ill feeling is getting worse and
worse every day between the Cnbans and
Spaniards. and the Cubans declare they
want nothing from Spain, that she must
give them their independence or they
will die for it."

A ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower han that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
cient TO create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 20 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part Of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.

The following opinions have been obtained
regarding the climate of Jamaica as suitable for
Invalids and others of delicate constitution;
and being from the highest Medical Authorities
in the Country they, may be received and enter
tanned as the ~counsels of experienced Physicians:
The Hon. DR.. Bowerbank's Opinion.
''There can be no doubt, that where a predis-
position to tubercular or scrofulous disease ex.
lists, a residence here will often completely
check its further development, and even during
the earlier stages of tubercular consumption, if
it's progress is not arrested, life is often pro-
longed, and the disease Invested of much Of its
suffering.
"The Island from it's position, and from its
great irregularity of surface, presents a vast
variety of climates 50 much so, that for mere
change OF climate, an Invalid need scarcely quit
its shores.
"The Island contains several Mineral Springs,
one of which is thermal, and has been found OF
great service in the treatment OF Rheumatic,
Gouty, and Cutaneous affections. Another OF
these Springs is, an AluminouS Chalybeate, IS
situate in the higher Mountains, in a most de-
ugnCIul Climate anu were III U0GIer huOWu anu
more accommodation afforded, [ have little
doubt that many suffering from impaired health,
the result of a long and continued residence in
the lowlands, might from its use, be restored to
health in lieu of undertaking an expensive, and
too often inconvenient transatlantic trip besides
which, l do not think, were the virtue of the
Spring it's mild and delicious climate, its Grand
and Magnificent Scenery, made known, that it
would be too much to expect that lnvalids from
other Countries in search of that greatest of all
Observation-Disclosures be induced to visit
this fair spot in this "Land of Springs"
DR.. C~ampbell's Opinion.
"The effects of residence in Jamaica on Eu-
ropeans and Americans is usually beneficial,
especially on those who are predisposed to scro-
fula or pulmonary consumption, or who have
evinced a peculiar tendency to colds and chro-
nical affections during the winter months. In
such cases the general health and physical ener-
gies usually undergo a rapid and marked change,
resulting in permanent good health"
DR.. Duan's Opinion.
Americans and Europeans will find a climate
here more congeniel to them, and one in which
they can carry on all the laborious e~xertions to
which they have been accustomed. The island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every Industrial purpose. The slight deri-
walton of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation of the
sea and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island a most desirable residence for invalids.

The valleys of the Lower Ohio, the
Cumberland, and Tennessee are des-
tined to become the best v~ine-growing
and wine-produeing section of the
United States, if we except California.
Alreadythe grape is receiving that at
tention its merits deserve, and new
vineyards are being planted every
year. Anything. therefore, that is
calculated to improve the culture of
the grape must be acceptable to a
large class Of citizens. The author
says that while he thinks his book
viii be interesting to the general
reader and instructive to the general
drinker-as ii relates to the effects
his daily beverages will have on
health and happiness-his chief aim
has been to convey information,
both practical and theoretical, on the
important matter Of w~ine-growing
in America. Hence, under the
several heads Of " planting, "prun-
ing training" those interested in
improving their grape crop. may find
what viii prove of incaloulable ad-
vantage. The author has illustrated
his horticultural suggestions with in
cidents of an amusing as well as in
teresting character, so as to make the
dryest portion of his book, if any part
of it may correctly be termed dry,
fully as attractive as nine tenths of
the books descriptive of scenes in

TIE SOLAR ECLIPSE, 1869.
BY Col. Darlington. q. $. A.

- - ~
The elements of this solar eclipse
are given with much particularly in
the Atlantic Almanac, and its occur
renee is anticipated with more inter-
est than any of its predecessors. Its
shadow covers a larger sweep Of in
habited, civilized territory than any
other during the worlds history.
Guillemin, in his valuable book,
1.-THE Heavens" (London, 1860,
gives, as the only eclipses of the pres
ent century, the following:
1870, I'D December: Azores, south
Of Spain, north Of Africa, Sicily, and
Turkey.
1887, 18th Of August Northeast of
Germany, south Of Russia, Central
Asia.
1896, 9sh August: Greenland, ST.
IBERIA and Lapland.
1900, Sth May Spain, Algeria,
Egypt, United States.
The eclipse of 1900 holds a more
northern course than that of 1869, in
GLIDING Pittsburg, Pa, within its total
phase.
The error as to the eclipse of 1869
was not discovered in time for correc-
ton in a volume otherwise substan-
TALLY accurate.
From the sixteenth to the begin
ming of the nineteenth century there
were noticed but mine total echipses OF
he SIM. During the eighteenth cen
tury, Paris witnessed but one, that OF
1724. London has not seen one since
1715.
Since 1901, seven total eclipses have
been observed, besides that of 1867,
viz, 1906, 1912. 1850, 1851, 1856, 1860,
1861.
As the eclipse Of 1869 will attract
so many Observers, it is we'll for the
unprofessiOnal to know how brief will
be the period Of total observation.
The greatest possible duration Of a
total eclipse at the equator is estimat.
ed by q French astronomer at four
hours, Twenty-Five minutes and forty
four seconds; its annual phase al
twelve minutes, forty-six seconds, and
total obseurity at seven minutes fifty.
eight seconds.
The eclipse Of August 9TH, 1869
occupies, altogether, less than two

hours, and at Springfield, illinois, the
total phase is less shan three minutes.
This element is given for q few
other places, to aid those who wish
particularly to watch the phenomena
of that interval.
The beginning of totality, duration,
and side Of central line are indicated.

A critic in the New York Citizen
very cayalierly disposes of this book
with the remark that it is the poorest
work on rhetoric over published, or
words to that effect. A somewhat
careful perusal of the book has con-
vineed US that the criticism of the
Citizen is as unjustifiable as it is
harsh. The author says the work has
naturally grown out of the fact that
the method it presents seemed to be
more successful in teaching his pupils
than that laid down in either foreign
or American textbooks, on the same
subject. The book, therefore, is the
result Of actual experiment. Fur
thermore, speaking Of the needs of
rhetorical student and the best meth

rhetoric, we have the following: 81
would respectfully suggest to teach
ers that students should always
combine practice with study, and
should be required 20 produce either
original or selected examples Of every
figure Of speech, of every kind OF
composition, and of every style de-
scribed. Once q week, perhaps, the
class may present, in writing, speci-
mems or Illustrations of what has been
studied during the week, and the ex-
e%reises in Part ", relating to inven-
ton, should all be fairly wrought out
after the previous parts have been
studied. In this way the science and
art are so welded together in the
memory as to be Of permanent value
Or. Haven divides his treatise into
five parts: Part l explains the pri.
mary elements which composition
employs: WORDS with directions
how to obtain a copious, correct, and
efficient vocabulary; Part III explains
Figures Of Speech and Thought; Par
III treats of Style; Part Nv of In.
vention; Part v Of Elocutiou.
We do not believe there is an indi
7idual in the country who aspires t.

the greatest variety Of valuable an,
practical suggestions.

ETHELYN'S MISTAKE. ny Ara. NARY

& Co. -
Mrs. Holiness works of hction are
very popular. Her tempest and
Sunshine" and Lena Rivers" had
a most extensive circulation, and.
"Ethelyn's Mistake "a has already
been admired by thousands as they
traced it out through the columns of
the Net0 York Weekly. The story
opens in a small New England viii
lage, and from thence carries the
heroine through a series of yicissi-
tudes, of mistakes and misfortunes,
eliminating in finding her, at a ma
ture age, following the object Of her
earliest attachment to the West,
where he has attained to power and
position. The story is conceived with
great skill, and the plot we'll sus-
tanned from first to last. Through
out it displays an agreeable style, a
purity of language, and a loftiness OF
sentiment that deserve the highest
commendation and the author will
add, in no small degree, to her
already widespread reputation, in
the present volume.
