1t will be unusually important for the Repub-
licans to secure the new Legislature, as it will
be charged with the duty of electing a successor
to Senator o. P. Morton, who has accepted the
mission to England, the term for which he was
elected not expiring until March 4, 1878. Sc
nator Daniel D. Pratt, whose term extends to
March 4, 1875, has also expressed an intention
of resigning as soon as it was certain that Re-
publican would be elected to succeed him. The
candidates for Senator Morton's seat are Gen.
eral Walter Q. Gresham; General Godlove s.
Orth, at present member of Congress from the
Seventh district, but not a candidate for re-
election; General Thomas H. Nelson, at present
Minister to Mexico; and Colonel Will Cumback,
at present Lieutenant Governor, who received
the caucus nomination two years ago, but was
forced to withdraw from the contest before the
Legislature, by reason of bolt in the Repub-
liean ranks.

SAN FRANCISCO SUNDAYS.
Our Sundays are fast becoming Germanized.
The Summer air is too balmy to be breathed in
close, confined churches the tranquil blue over
head too beautiful to be shut out by the roof of
home or temple ; so we have naturally adopted
the continental plan of spending the day in the
open air, greatly to the gain of both health and
morals. Last Sunday several thousand people
hied themselves away from baked and dusty
streets to the suburban gardens there to revel
in the mild enjoyment of lager quancd under
lcafy bowers or to stroll with wife and children
in front of the Gagged animals torment the ever
popular monkes or feed the ungrateful grizzly
with uuappreciated sweet meats and apples.
RELIGIOUS DANCE MUSIC.
In Difference to the remnant of puritauism
that still fingers in midst, the proprietors of
places of Sunday resort advertise sacred con-
certs for their Sabbath patrons. The music, ia
reality, consists of ordinary operate selections
interspersed with dance music and patriotic
tunes, but the supposed concession draws many
who would be Mortified at the idea OF attending
nn openly avowed secular concert. The German
element in this city has exercised n very appre-
ciablc influence upon our manners, and in none
more so than the way we have of spending the
Sabbath. SCRIBnLER.

ECLIPSE OF THE Sun IN DECEMBER lS70.-As-
tronomcrS in all parts of the world are now busy
in making their preparations for observing the
eclipse of the sun on December 2l-22, 1870.
Although it will not be visible in the United
States, it has been suggested that some of the
American observers of the last eclipse be sent
abroad for the purpose of taking part in the OBJ
servationS of the one in question, and Congress
has already appropriated 500, 900 to the Coast
Survey for that purpose. Great praise was
awarded by foreign physicists to the American
astronomers for the excellence of their work,
and especially for the remarkable Photographic
pictures that were taken, and at so many points;
and it is urged that these same gentlemen or
selection from them, would be admirably fitted
for renewed investigation of the kind, since
their experience of the first phenomenon would
enable them to utilize their time to better ad-
vantage during the second. According to II re-
cent writer, this eclipse will begin in the North
Atlantic ocean the line of central and total
eclipse, moving in n sOutheasterly direction,
crosses Portugal little to the south of Lisbon
passing over part of Spain and the Mcterra-
mean sea, it enters Africa near Oran, and soon
aitcrward 0ttains its extreme southern limit ;
the shadow of the moon, now moving in a north
easterly direction, leaves Africa, and crossing
the island of Sicily, the south of Turkey, the
peuumbra of the moon, decreasing rapidly,
leaves the earth with the setting sun in Arabia.
The sun will be centrally and totally ecpscd at
noon in lat. $50 38/ N, long. 80 II W, little

THE FoLLIEs OF GREAT MEN.-Tycho Brahe,
the astronomer, changed color, and his legs
shook under him, on meeting II hare or fox.
DR.. johnson would never enter room with his
left foot foremost he would go back and place
his right foot foremost. Julius Caesar was al
ways confused by the sound of thunder, and
would want to get into Il cellar or underground
TO escape the noise. TO Queen Elizabeth the
simple word death " was full Of horrors.
Even Tallyrand trembled and changed color on
hearing the word pronounced. Marshal SAKE,
who met and overthew opposing armies, fed
and screamed in terror at the sight Of n cat.
Peter the Great could never be persuaded to
cross bridge though he tried to master the
terror, he failed to do so whenever he set foot
on one he would shrek out in distress and ag-
ony. Byron would never help any one to salt at
the table, nor would be be helped himself; if
any of the article happened to be split on the ta-
Bile, he would jump up, and leave the meal un-

WHAT THE UHLANs ARn.-We frequently read
of the daring deeds of the Uhlans in the Prussian
army. They are described as follows;
The Uhlans are light cavalry, Of Asiatic ori-
gin, and were introduced into the north Of Eu-
rope along with the colonies of Tartars who es-
tablished themselves in Poland and Lithnania.
The names are derived from a Tartar word signi-
flying " brave" They are mounted on light act
i've horses, and are armed with sabre, lance, and
latterly, with pistols carbines. The lance,
from six to seven feet long, is attached to a
strong leathern cord fastened to the left shoul-
der, and passed round bchihd the back so rs to
allow it to be couched under the right arm
Immediately below the point of the lance is at
tached IL strip Of gaudy -colored cloth, designed
by its Aultering to frighten the enemy's horses
The early dress was Turkish, and the regiments
of "polks" were distinguished from each other
by red, green, or blue and yellow uniforms
The Austrians and Prussians first borrowed this
kind of light cavalry from the Poles.

How NAPOLEON WENT TO THE FMLD.-Euro-
pean papers state that the baggage of the French
Emperor, which preceded him to the seat of war,
looked more like Il travelling hospital than the
traps of general 1t contained among others,
large medicine chest, three kinds of bathing
tubs and some other apparatus, an nynld's chair,
a stretcher of peculiar construction, and great
deal of other medical and sick-room apparatus.

the front, were most carefully selected from the
Imperial stables, by the Emperor's own valet,
He picked out the tamcst and gentlest brute8 he
could find, and even went far rs to buy some
horses, not SO much Tor their beauty and spirit,
for they show very little of either, as for their

sent to the front, they were exposed to IL great
deal of artillery firing to accustom them to the

probably hear of the battle, aud this took the
