The Suns Eclipse.

Reports from all over the country
show that the most important places
where the eclipse was total the weather
was favorable for observation. AT Little
Rock, Arkansas, Fort Worth, Texas
and,Pike's Peak the observations were
entirely successful. AT Forts Worth
five photographs were taken. AT these
and other places in the southwest corona
cuspis, moon limbs and all contacts were
duly noted. During total eclipse artifi-
cial lights were necessary. A halo
ringed the moon, the surface of the lat
ter locking like blush STEEL The ami
mails such as dogs and cats seemed un-
disturbed during the eclipse and remain
ed during the darkness lying in the shade
where they had been when the eclipse
began; the cattle continued to browse
quietly in the fields. In most of the
places inythe east where the eclipse was
only partial, observation was hindered
by the clouds.

Reduction of Wages.

PHILADELPHIA, July 81. = The iron
mill owners of this city held meeting
three weeks since and gave their hands
notice that reduction of ten per cent.
would be made in their wages after the
1st of September. The hands refused to
submit, but have been allowed until the

they will accept or not. If they have
not then decided the reduction will cer-

The Achievements of Stanley, and Other
African Explorers.

Being complete History of stanley's Explorations
In Africa together with concise account OF the late
Cincinnati and Springfield. 0'''N"e''
No recent event has excited deeper
and more widespread interest in the
country, than the brilliant achievement
of Henry M. Stanley, in the field of
African Exploration. Ever since the
announcement of his arrival, in a
famished condition, at the mouth of
the Congo, the public have eagerly
awaited detailed account of his thrill
ing experiences, and the results of his
discovery. The announcement therefore
of this volume, from the pen of so
brilliant and popular an author as Mr..
j. Il. Headley, will be received with
lively interest and satisfaction, and this
interest will be greatly heightened by an
examination of the book itself.
Since the death of Livingstone, the
work of exploration has been pushed
with great vigor. Sir Samuel w. Baker
with small army and under royal
authority, assembled the Nile, and was
the f1rst European to penetrate from the
north into the great Central region.
Lieut.. Cameron, of the English Royal
Navy, reached the same region from the
east, and then pushed across the CONT
nent overland, to the western coast, and
last and greatest of all, the daring and
intrepid Stanley, breaking through the
barriers which had proved insuperable
to all former explorers, in the face of a
thousand perils by savages, cataracts,
disease, wild beasts and starvation,
forced his way down the dark river,
$500 miles, and solved the great mystery
by proving the Lualaba river discovered
by Livingstone to be verify the head
waters OF the mighty Congo, and thus
opening grand highway from the west
coast to the heart and treasures of one
the most populous and productive CONT
nents of the globe. A more intensely
interesting and exciting narrative we
have never read. To follow the brave
Stanley in his marvellous voyage down
the unknown river, fighting thirty-two

State Teachers Association.

The three days. session of the Penn
sylvania State Teachers Association, in
Reading, was attended by more than 800
members, and large number of ladies
and gentlemen not connected with the
profession. The reports of the daily
proceedings show that they were both
interesting and instructive. A number
of original papers of more than ordina-
ry ability on various living subjects per-
tanning to common school education
were read, and the discussion of the
questions to which they gave rise was
animated, earnest and in the main pro-
ductive of good results. Seme disap-
pointment was oeeasioned by the failure
of Ex-Governor Curtin and Rev. DR..
Strong, of Allegheny, to keep their en-
gagement to lecture. Thursday eve
Ring was given up to a general educa-
tional meeting, at which addresses were
delivered by Hon. Hester Clymer, Hon.
Daniel Ermentraut, deputy State Sdper-
intendent Houck, and Professor S. d.
Ingham, of Harrisburg, and J. III. Shoe
maker, of Chambersburg. The vocal
and instrumental music with which the
proceedings were varied was appropriate
and well performed. The Association
adjourned finally at 10 o'clock Thurs
day night, to meet next year at York.

Help In Acquiring knowledge.

In acquiring n knowledge of the English
Language, aud especially in learning the mean
ing of words, probably no other work, nor many
other books altogether, can afford SO much aid
as Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, with Its
5000 Pictorial Illustrations, its precise and full
definitions, its careful discrimination of syn
onymous words, and its many valuable tables.
1t is, in itself, whole library of the language.
Let one family have q copy of this work, and
use it faithfully, and another be without-the
difference in the progress of the two families
in getting knowledge will be very great.
