A coming event--the total eclipse OF
the sun on the 29th Of July-has for as
tronomcrs an interest greater even than
that Of the transit Of Mercury. Yet
nothing has been done TO take advantage
Of II. The path Of totality Of this
eclipse runs diagonally across the CEN
ter Of the United States, from Montana
TO Texas, and Is between 120 to l5O
miles wide. Many Of the best points
for observation are directly accessible
by railroad, and dozen expeditions
might be equipped and sent 10 as many
different points with only d fraction of
the outlay often mads hy European ma
tions in single expeditions for similar
purposes. Admiral John Rogers, the
superintendent Of the Naval Obscrva-
tory, speaking to q corr espondent of the
Tribune upon the importance Of this
matter, said that the sum Of all the op-
portunities which all Of the astronomers
Of the world can get for observing such
eclipses does not exceed five or six
hours in n century. Recent discoveries
have rendered 1t probable that many IL
not all Of the great meteorological
changes going on upon the earth are
caused by events taking place upon the
sun, and many questions relating to the
physical constitution Of that orb, and
The changes there taking place can only
be studied during total eclipse. ~ Wash

evening, says an exchange, 10 witness
an interesting performance going on
within, the only occupants of the parlor
being the young lady and nice Young
mana clerk in large dry-goods house
on Front Street. They had forgotten to
pull down the blinds, and naughty men
outside could see every thing that was
going on. She was sitting upon his lap
with her arms around his neck, caress-
ing him in the fondcst manner. After
they had been in that interesting situa-
tion for some time, gentleman who
lives near by, CHANGING 70 pass there on

A writer in the Rocky Mountain T.u,-
tst says: just at the entrance to Tenn
pie Canyon is a little grove of cotton
woods. Their pendent swinging boughs
meet In perfect arches overhead, and the
profusion OF their polished brilliant
leaves render complete the most charm
ing Of bowers in which 70 take the noon
day lunch and prepare for the climb in
to Temple Canyon, which must be done
on foot. Temple Is a side canyon, with
entrance from Grape Creek CANYON,
some four and half miles from Can
yon City, and was discovered but year
or two ago. Once passing through the
great riffs of rock, for all the world
like the stairwayto some grand place Of
amusement, the body of the temple Is
reached, and, TO the tourists astonish-
ment, before him is stage with over
hanging arch, with " flats" and sfiies,"
with dressing-rooms on either side, and
a scene already set as If for some grand
tableau. II SO intensely realistic from
the parquet, as the broad circling floor
might aptly be termed, or from the par
quet or dress circles, as the higher
ledges would suggest, the Chamber up
70 the stage itself renders il all the more
so, for there is found ample room for
full dramatic or operate company to
disport upon, while in the perpendicular
ledges and caves on either side 25 or
30 people might retire and not be
observed from the body of the hall.
The stage Is at least 80 feet deep, and
60 or 20 broad the arch above fully 100
feet from the floor Of the CANYON. the \
stage itself being about 40 feet above
the floor. The arch is almost as smooth
and perfectly proportioned as If fash
Toned by the hand Of man, and during
the wet season the water from stream
above falls in a great broad sheet over
its face to the floor Of the canyon below.
Al such time the effect from the stage
81 the Temple Is, as can be imagined.
exceedingly fascinating, for there, en-.
lirely protected from the water, one
ooks through the silvery sheet out upon
he scene below. Upon the rear wall Of
he stage quite an aperture has been
newn out by some action, and the shape
I Is left in Is peculiarly suggestive Of
'ableaux preparation. Away up in the
highest crevice under the arch pair OF
Eagles have mated for years, and though

Charged with Trespass.

A prominent real estate agent dong
business in this city was before Squire
Wait, yesterday afternoon, charged with
having entered house of which he had
charge, and unlswtulIy taking there:Tom
sewing machine belonging to the tenant.
From the statements of both sides we
gather thst the house was rented to the
plaintiff at q stated sum per month, psy-
able in advance. The first month (AprID
the rent was paid as per agreement.
When the present month began the ten
ant was absent from the city, nor did the
agent call for the rent until day before
yesterday. At that time the tenant did
not have the money, and requested a
delay until yesterday. This was refused,
and the sewing machine was taken as
above stated. The matter was finally
compromised by the payment of the costs
in the case by the agent and the restora-
tion of the sewing machine to the place
from which it was taken.
