The action Of the School Board last night in
rejecting the proposition for a change OF school
BOOKS VIII be received with no little gratifca-
ION by the public, interested; and The STAR
psrtakes In this qualification because of the
stand II has taken in the matter. Its rejection
too, by the decisive vote of IL TO shows that
the Establishments Of the book -drummers have
been quite thrown away upon our School
Board. We intend no reflection in this remark
upon the Trustees who favored the change
They were, no doubt, honest in their course
but we suspect they were biased q good deal
by the hostilities of the previous fight upon
the introduction Of the same school book
As We have said heretofore, we care nothing for
the individual textbook upon which this con-
test has been made, but have opposed a change
at this time on general principles, on the ground
that IT was the initiatory step to other changes,
and Tor the further reason that the book was
adopted not long ago, on the recommendation
Of the Committee on Text books, and by a very
large majority of the Board. Thus endorsed.
there certainly can be no good reason for an
ether change so speedily. 1t Is to be hoped that
the bland and child-Hke book drummers will
take the hint from the action Of the school trus-
tees Of Washington last night, and direct their
lsbors TO other quarters and to more facile
school boards.

E}Ee lunar EcEipse.

The total eclipse of the moon on Sunday
morning though remarkable was rot alto
gether unusual. Such an occurrence has
happened before, but we doubt whether any
thing exceeding the beauty of the Eclipse on
Sunday morning was ever witnessed. The
precise time for the moon to creep under the
earth shadow had been announced several
days previously from the Smithsonian Insti-
tute at Washington, and of course the cur
ious in such matters were prepared to greet
the show. The night was beautiful, but be-
fore the eclipse set in much Of the moon s
brilliancy was obscured by haze which
0 erspread the heavens A friend who
watched the progress of the Eclipse from
the commencement to the end, says that the
black shadow on the moons edge began to
show itself at about - 81 j. IN. 1t was not,
however, until 81 a. m., that the eclipse
was complete and it remained so until about
half past two, when the moon began to
emerge from the shadow, and by 8 81 a. m.
everything was clear as bell again At two
O'Clock a. m., the picture presented by the
phenomenon was one of sublime grandeur.
A narrow silver lining marked the upper
edge of the moon surface and from this it
receded gradually to deep cloudy red in the
center and from that to the blackness Of dark
ness towards the lower edge. We can com
pare the moons appearance during the total
ity Of the eclipse to nothing SO truly descrip-
tive as tarnished copper. Doubtless thous-
ands upon thousands of human eyes, during
the progress Of the marvel were gazing hcav-
onward when we were, and drinking in the
delights Of the scene that attested so eloquent
y to the science Of the spheres, and the
precision Of human skill in computing their
wonderful revolutions Those who missed
seeing the eclipse, missed rare and grand
sight indeed.
