THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

On the twenty ninth of July next
total eclipse Of the sun takes place
under such circumstances as to pre-
sent opportunities that occur scarce
" once in a generation, for the study
Of some of the most interesting phe-
nonena with which astronomers
have to do. The path Of the totality
Of this eclipse runs diagonally across
the center Of the United States from
Montana to Texas, and is somewhere
about one hundred and forty miles
wide. Many Of the best points for
observing the eclipse are therefore
directly accessible by railroad, and
several expeditions might be sent
out fully equipped to as many diff
ferent points, without spending SO
much money upon them all as it
would ordinarily take to equip a
single expedition to more distant
point. '
Recent discoveries have rendered
it probable that most of the meteo.
biological changes in progress upon
this planet are caused by events TAX
ing 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. It
is said by Admiral Rodgers, of the
Naval Observatory, that the sum Of
the opportunities which all the as
tronomers Of the world can get for
observing such ecl1pses does not ex-
coed five or six hours in century,
and it is therefore important that
every advantage should be taken Of
the very favorable conditions for OBJ
servation under which the present
eclipse occurs. All the principal
European government recognize the
Importance Of stud lying the phenome-
ma attendant upon the total eclipses,
and sendtou costly expeditions, even
to their antipodes when necessary,
for this purpose; and there is no
doubt that there is a general impress
sion abroad that our government
would make ample provision for the
study Of a matter Of such general in.
terest, that is visible almost exclus-
lively within our borders, or the diff
ferent foreign governments would no
doubt be preparing to organize ex-.
petitions for observation on our ter.
ritory. Our government, however,
has 50 far done nothing, and it is
possible that one Of the best oppor-
tunities that may occur in many
years for the study Of solar pheno-
mena may pass away without any
advantage being taken of it.
The Naval Observatory IS awake
to the Importance Of the occasion,
and has asked Cong ress for an appro-
priation Of $4,000 for the purpose Of
sending off seven expeditions, tWoof
which It is designed to send to Mon
tana, 2 to Texas, 2 to Colorado, and 1
to Wyoming, each to consist of 3
astronomers. The sum asked for was
simply to pay travelling expenses and
the cost Of transport and setting
up the instruments in their Temporal
~ obseryatories, nothing being re-
quested for salaries, as the most emf

The Tramp Nuisance.


BALTIMORE, January a, 1873,
Mr. Edior AS Information of the correct
ness Of my position in nv article short Time
since for the restoration Of The pilory aud the
whipping post for small crimes and petty lar
ceny, clip from a.morning paper the account
of the arrest in this city (lhe detailed account
of the arrest for breaking windows aud steal
ing goods which had repeatedly occurred in
the same neighborhood) of two men of whom
the account states, "Bolh had been in the pen
itentiary." Our own criminal records, !
think, also show that the penelentiary has
failed to reform several conviclS sent to it
from our county. am further gratified to
find concurrence of sentiment without any
knowledge or concert OF action in favor of
corporal punishment by the very intelligent
Baltimore county Farmers Club, who have
spoken out to the same effect, AMI in conver-
sation with an Eastern Shore Senator few
days ago, | found him to fully concur in the
sentiment. You will also fluid in the January
number of the american Farmer, page 80 that
the enlightened aud progressive government
of Prussia, in Europe, has adopted very much
the same mode of dsposng of tramps.
But the ramps proper are not the only class
of offenders TO which the grade of punish
ment suggested ought to apply. We unforlu-
nately have local and native offenders as well
as strangers and Foreigners Our own crimi-
nal records, as well us the arrest above alluded
to, show too plainly. At the late tramp con-
ventiou in this city, an honest looking and
hard WORKING man arose and with much feel
ing addressed the convention. He said if to
walk over the country for f fty-odd days look
ing for work constituted tramp, then he was
tramp He had been discharged by the b.
Il .. railroad, aud thereby prescribed by all
other railroads in the United States. And
yet in those fifty-odd days he had not been
able TO find work to support himself and fami-
ly. Now my suggestion, or rather endorse
ment of your suggestion, was not to apply to
n cases like this. And other cases almost as
meritorious are doubtless met with by mtny
of your readers AS well as myself. But only
for the CONNECTED criminal. To the hw-ahid-
ing and worthy seeker of employment it does
not apply. For such there is no law, because
they have committed no offence. Therefore,
sympathy for them, however well intended, is
misplaced sympathy, and only tends to in
crease crime. The old maxim, THAT ten
guilty men had better escape than that onein-
nocent man should be punished, +" finds ready
response and full illustration in The American
heart and Judgment, so that no fear need be
entertained of any abuse of power; rather

, ARMY OFFICERS.

In Studying the interests Of the State and
pointing out, SO far as we are able, the meth
DDS Of retrenchment which will decrease the
necessary expenses OF State government, we
should not forget that there are many abuses
existing in the expenditures of the general
government which might be reformed with
equal facility. Among these none occupy so
importanta position as the apparently super
fuous appropriations which are made for the
support of The Federal army In a late debate
in Congress discussing an army appropriation
Senator Beck illustrated that the army as it
now stands consists of about seventy-fve off,
GERS to every one hundred men. According 10
all army regulations that we have ever scan
ned every one hundred privates, that is a com
pany, should be accompanied by sixteen Off
GERS but our military, as it now stands, COM
prises just about Eve times as many officers as
our army regulations demand. Now this over
Plus of officers requires large amount of
money to support them, and the people are
paying in the shape of duties on necessares of
lifciaxes for the subsistence of officials which
are entirely superfinous.
The natural question nnder the circumstance
Is why there are so many officers beyond the
number that are needed The general govern
nrent sustains military college in which its
youth are to be educated in martial knowl-
edge. A certain number specially designated
by law are admitted 10 this institution 10 re-
ceive q military education which combines in
struc ton in all other branches which com
prise the curriculum of other colleges and
which is not only bestowed upon them gratis
but they are paid handsome salary in consid-
Grafton Of their taking advantage of these OPP
portunilies. Not only this, but when they
pass successful final examination they are
enlisted 10 the army and draw pay highly dis
prcportionate TO the services they render
This system Of military education and final
provision for graduated students is the cause
of so large number of officers dependent upon
the government for support. We think that
a beneficial change of the system might be
made by retaining the military institution
and furnishing military education TO admis-
sible students and pay them salary for de-
irving it. and then send them adrift to make
living in the world out OF The knowledge and
the money they have earned as best they can.
They would then be in far better situation
than the majority of our youth who have to
pay for their education and then start life With
out n cent in their pocket. But in consider
alton of the advantage given them by the
government they should enter into a contract
TO lend their military assistance in the case of
war TO the people, and in case of refusal to be
punished us deserlers.
