THE GREAT ECLIPSE,

The big dailes are full of voluminous re-
ports from the various parties that went to the
Rocky Mountains to see the eclipse on Mon
day. but the following brief one from Prof
Watson and Lockycr is about the only one that
states single fact of any scientific interest It's
generally agreed that the planet" mentioned
was Vulcan:
Prof Watson, of Ann Arbor, and Mr.. Nor
man Lockycr have just returned from Separa-
tor, Wyoming, where the total eclipse lasted
two minutes and fifty seconds. Prof Watson
discovered an intra- Mcrcurial planet of the
size of randa-hafmagnitude star, about
two and half degrees southwest OF the sun.
Mr. Lockyer says this eclipse was entirely diff
ferent, the corona being ten times brighter
this time than the one in 1871, showing great
variation of the brightness of the corona be-
tween the maximum and minimum period of
sun spots He obtained a FAINT photograph OF
the continuous spectrum of the sun, and saw
no trace of lines or rings through MIR. Ruther-
ford's grating. The structure of the corona was
well observed by him, but no trace of an eNte.
rior ring was seem and the corona vanished in
stantlv, while in 1871 ii remained visible Tor
several minutes after totality. Only one faint
protuberance was observed by Mr. LOckyer.
Tie is greatly surprised at the difference of
eclipseS occurring in different sun spot periods,
and the ultimate relation of the brightness of
the corona To sun spots.

YELLOW FEVER.

There is considerable alarm at the south on

prevalence of the pest The first cases occurr

the fever appears TO have been promptly stamp

lily spreading, and is manifestly of home orr
gin, the board of health beng unable to trac,

Wednesday evening there had been 80 cases al
New Orleans and 30 deaths, and on Thursday
there were 81 new cases with five deaths.

Inc ne" .ark Times a few days ago con
tanned th". details of an outrage on a highly re-
spec' .sblc lady Of Boston, which were so in
cGdibly atrocious that the newspapers began
| to doubt the narrative, whcreupOn the Provi-
dcncc BuHetiH removes all doubt by stating,
upon personal knowledge of the editor, that the
Times relation in all its essential details is
strictly true The substance Of 1t is, that a
highly respectable and attractive lady of Bos-
ton, having been on Il visit to an interior town
| in New York, started home on the New York
Central railroad, expecting to meet her hus-
band ut Albany. At Rome having changed
cars. as the conductor came around to collect
fare, two men sitting near her said they would
pay for her, and after talk with the men, who
claimed that the woman was insane and in
their charge, the conductor took the money
which one of them offered, against the vche-
ment protest OF the lady. At Utica the lady
was taken off the cars, forced into Il carriage
and conveyed to a disreputable house in back
street of the city. When the train arrived at
Albany the husband FASTENED to meet his wife,
and not finding her on the train was told by
the conductor what had happened at Utica,
upon which the husband, satisfied that the la
DIV in question must be his wife, secured an
engine and started at full speed for Utica Ar
irving there, after some search the hickman
was found. who took the husband and con-
ductor, who had accompanied him. to the place
where the woman had been left. She was
found in IN upper room, in an insenslble con
dition, stripped stark naked, robbed and out
ragged The affair occurred some three months
ago, and though the woman since then has
mainly recovered from the nervous shock, her
reason it is feared is permanently affected.
While on the cars she had worn some rich
iewery, which is supposed to have given the
liends that outraged her the impression that
she was rich and had considerable money
about her, their main object probably being
robbery. No clue of the wretchcs has yc
been discovered.

There is nothing Of especial importance this
week from the seat of war in Oregon and Ida
no. A dispatch from Gen. Mcdowell to the
War Department at Washington mentions a
fight on the 18th ult between Col. Forsyth,
aided by Il band of Umatillas, and the hostiles
near Sharkie's ranch, where II warrior. were
killed, and some 90 women and children taken
prisoners, with no loss on our side. Thereupon
the hostiles became demoralizcd and broke up
into small bands A few days later Gen. How
ard formed u junction with Forsyth's COM
mand and started in pursuit OF the hosulcs
who were fleeing in the direction of the Nal
heur agency lin Grant Co, Oregon.) The Ban
nocks seem to have been so closely pursued
and so often punished since the first outbreak
that the other disatlected tribes are slow to
Join them and the prospect now looks favor
able for the war soon to wear itself out, the
only hostile elements remaining being rowing
bands of Bannocks, who may keep up pre-
datory sort of settler numbering, cattle-stealing
warfare all summer
