was invented which Barnabee interprets SO
cleverly: l remember going to an old-fash-

n cork leg-and when l say leg 1 mean leg,
not limb. She was rather sensitive regarding
the possession of the cork appendage, and in
getting religion did not get rid of that desire
to look her best, implanted in the breast of
every well-regulated female, and would not
remove it. The result can be imagined. 1

facts, the list sent us Tor use next month, for

THE ECLIPSE AsuccEss.

The eclipse of the sun this afternoon
came OF according to announcement aud u
clear sky favored the Investigations Of the
curious. At ten minutes before three
o'clock the moon began to pass before the
sun from the western side and the enter
tainment had begun. There were thousands
OF smoked glasses turned skYwards and
eager eyes sought a sight ofthe phenomenon.
We arc removed about four hundred miles
from the line of totality and consequently
had only a partial eclipse for our portion,
but it was sufficient TO cast a shadow over
things and convince us that something I'm.
usual was transporting in the heavens.
The path Of totality began in Siberia, in
latitude 81 degrees II minutes north, ad.
vanced in a northeasterly direction. to Be
hring's straits, thense southeastcrly across
Alaska, British Columbia, almost touching
the scaboard in latitude 60 degrees, and
thence souther)y through Idaho, Montana,
Colorado, just clipping the corner of New
Mexico, and IN through the Indian terri.
tory and Texas, passing thence by Sabine
river over the Gulf of Mexico, and a part of
Caba and San Domingo and terminating in
longitude Z degrees 1G minutes east from
Washington, and in latitude II degrees 81
minutes north. 1t took in its path Virginia
City, Montana; Central City. Denver, and
Colorado Springs, and a batch of unknown
towns in southern and eastern Texas. The
area Of partial eclipse embraced, besides q
belt of Siberia, the whole continent o.
North American.
Our artist has not been idle to-day, and
through his efforts we are enabled to present
the eclipse as it appeared TO Yankton gazcrs
at the instant of its greatest contact:

warded us by the editors.
On Tuesday morning the Esd inst the
waters of the west branch of the Vermillion,
swollen by a terrible shower ofthe night pre-
vious, was found to have overflown its banks
and flooded all the bottom lands skirting the
river on either side. Half a dozen houses
occupied bv Russians were utterly ruined,
and so far as we have learned seven persons
lost their lives by drowning. OF these four
were members of one family, two of another
and one of another-three were children,
two women, and two men. One old man was
saved by floating on a feather bed to place to
a place Of safety. In several instances fami-
lies saved their lives by climbing onto their
house roofs and there remaining until res
cued. One large family was saved by the
swimming ola faithful horse, taking them
one after another, from the house to high
land.
Several hundred acres o, grain cut and in
shocks, were swept away. Stacks Of grain
were aoated down the river. One stack Of
rye fioated a quarter of a mile and then
grounded without the loss of a sheaf.
The lumber dra wn for the bridge and store
at the new town site below Finlay was swept
away-and Brewer has it picketed in his
wheat field. The bridge at Turner was
swept away, and is also picketed in Brewers
wheat field. Hundreds of acres of wheat on
the Vsrnillion bottom were overlooked and
vet remain under water.
