WEAK EYES AND THE ECLIPSE.

WEAK EYES AND THE ECLIPSE.
To the Editor OF The Trt6uRe.
SIRE Weakness of the eyes is difficulty
in country than is generally supposed.
The extraordinary dryness and brightness OF
and the consequent snow-bnndness, &C, is probably
chargeabe with this to extent national popularity
II the weather shall be clear any considerable por
ton Of the totally and partially dark belt during the
coming eclipse, there VIII be, probably, million pairs
eyes which will be temporarily and some OF them per-
maDently injured by its observation. Much more DO
done in aVertiDg than I'm Temedyiug such CaamltIes
Everything tending TO strain ana fatigue either the eyes
themselves the adjacent muscles, should be avoided
Using Operagla IS less irritating To the eyes than
glass because while double the light IL received and
rounding and operating the eyes are at comparative
ease With the OpeTagass there total absence OF the
closed In looking at the eclipse IL Is essential To give
the eyes the advantage or parallel conditions piece
smoked glass large enough to look with both eyes at
should be used. Instead OF smoking the glass eg
observer should smoke several pieces 10 different exents
bat each uniformly possible over its entire surface
and choose as necessary among the several pieces.
Every should avoid the use OF pieces which have
been scratched touched by the finger to
the opaque covering at any points the observer should
avoid also single flash Of untcmpered sunlight upon
The retina and particularly the repetition OF such
flashes irritating conditions would result from the
use OF scratched very unequaly smoked plate. Aud
especially should every avoid fatgung the eyes by
looking too long too often In advance. Let the glasses
be prepared possible the day before and the ed
at ease observing the deepening gloom In the general
landscape with merely occasional gances until near the
period Of the greatest observation. Those who have
reason 10 bee themselves troubled with tendency
weak eyes should be the more careful 10 observe these
precautions Those whose scientific observations on the
eclipse may be Of value alone justified In risking any
permanent or even serious temporary injury to these ex
tremey delicate organs. G.B T., NJ. ID.

ther freight or passengers is as idle as a painted ship upon painted ocean" For a
 like reason, the Union Pacific railroad, with
 out the quality of perennial continuity, can-
 not be, as regards commerce and travel for about half the year, more than the picture or
 the mirage of road. Although it has already
 been paid by the government between twenty
 and thirty millions of dollars, it canpat at this
 moment transport for the governmee a sol,
 dier or a mail bag over two hugd5ed miles of
 its track which were long ago reporfed otficial-
 ly, as finished and n good wo,k king order One
 of the worst aspects of the matter is that lhe arrant and scandelous favoritism of govern
 ment toward thls road has involved the neglect ot transc"ntinental railroad enterprises along routes which are, in all points If view, more elIlble Nobody who has stmd,ei, even superhcially, the railroad needs and pra ctica- bllties of this country, doubts the preeminent advantages of the route coincidi' 2 or nearly so, this side of the great western mountain ridge, with either the thirty second CT thirty
 first parallel. The public and private funds squanderei on the Union Pacific railroad ale tantamount to a corresponding degr of iL> quiry to the true interests of the country in respect 10 railroads and other work of int, rna improvement. Suppose that the whole work ot establishing raIlroal connection with the Pacific, along the snow line indicated, will cost one hundred millions Then consider that for about half the year the efficacy of the road cannot be depended on, and that, con about fifty per cent must be de- lucted from its utility and value. This would De equivaIentto to the absolute loss of certairly not less than half the sum expendeI in its
 truction-to fifty millions, in other words l our.el under the snows of the Rocky Noun ans beyond the hope of recovery-to fifty | millions which, fit had been applied at the ne time to sholt ter ,routs owe easier grades | md wholly free from climate oijecrion' would lave gwen ere TOW road operating to the Pacific coast without a gap, through the rich

ApYENTUROUS.

Some people seem to have imbi5ed, even t.

 wealth, must never stop, at most, more that
 a season at any one place, but keep moving
 on, a prey u every excitement We here
 find men who might in few years accu>
 muIate wealth if they would only apply them selves to busineSS-but this a certain class
 will never do. Since boyhood they have sui. fered themselves to be drifted about on the
 wings of rumor; and while their uncertain flight have, during the best years of their
 lives, resulted in nothing more than disappoint- nent, We find that those who formed a centre otattrac ion for their ideas in early manhood, by laying ihe foundation Cf d home, are now prosperous and cOntenIe1.
 Ii those who ar. now organizing and equip ping for White Pine, would just stay and re- fleet fur but a moment, and view their deter imitation unbiassedly, many would TO doubt convince themselves that the money which must necessarily be spent to reach White Pine auu sAaib IAV III AiAO OuSlhCo AHN'Si NOO'N OS more judiciously employed. It requires but a triflng outlay of cap pital to start one ih busi ness on either the Salt or Gila River; and busi- ness, too the most delightful as well as the least hazardous and most lucrative, viz: the cultivation of land. A few hundred dollars thus expended may lay the foundation of a home which can endure for generations, while q like amount has been squandered by adyen- turers twenty times over.
 Again, if those who have thus far pursued the uncertain fortunes of n iners will still stick to their profession, let them expend their | means in ory anzng company sutic ently strong to work the mines at home. IL is not necessary for Arizonans to visit Nevada in search ot mines, if they will only organize, and hus procure sufficient strength to set the Apache at defiance, In Nevada there IS little loubt as 10 he abundance Of silver, but, in Arizona we have. without any dou bt, abun lance of gold. In Nevada ihe miner can ursue his avocation about seven months in he year in ArizoHa he can labor throughout he year. h Nevada there are, at presenn
