The Eclipse of the sun.

The eclipse of the sun yesterday was
observed by many through smoked
glass. The sky was clear and the air
still in this part of the country during
the day, though small cloud in the
western sky obstructed observations for
a while during the eclipse. Many
amateur astronomers have been puzzled
by the fact that though the moon
comes between the earth and the sun
once month, eclipses are so rare. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
earth and moon do not move in the
same planes, and consequently it gen.
orally happens that the moon is to one
side Of line between the sun and earth.
Its shadow is thrown to correspond
ing side. and is therefore not observed
by an observer on the earth's surface.
But when our satellite comes within
certain limits of the line joining the
centers of the earth and sun, its shad-
ow falls upon our sphere and the sun is
eclipsed. The moon is eclipsed while
it traverses the earth's shadow; the
sun while the earth traverses the moons
shadow. There can never be more than
seven eclipses in one year, nor less than
two. A total eclipse takes place when
the suns disc is entirely obscured.
This exceedingly interesting occurrence
isrepeated at the same place only after
a long interval

Under the provisions of an Act passed
at the late session of the Legislature, a
jury of three property holders, namely
NJ, Holman. L. L. Richard and=Henry
Busch, was impaneled by Justice Osborn
last Saturday, to inquire into the cause
Of the fire at Jennie Taylor's place on
the evening previous. Several wit
nesses were examined and after hearing
their evidence the Jury found that there
was cause to suspect an abandoned
woman, named Title Weed, of have
started the fire, and complaint was en-
tered against her accordingly. She is
now out on bail awaiting an examin-
alton.

The passenger train which lett San
Francisco last Friday, and due here, at
1920 A. NJ. Saturday, was blockaded IN
the Sierra Nevada mountains near
Cisco. and did not reach here un6ll 2
o'clock this morning. The recent Storm
was one OF the most violent experienced
in the Sierra since the road was built.
The wind blew a gale and drilted tae
snow into ravines and low places until
it accumulated to a depth of from fifty
to hundred feet sn many places. The
drifted snow slid down the steep de-
clivities, the avalanches destroying and
burying everything in their paths.
About thousand feet of snow sheds
were demolished between Cisco and
Emigrant GAP, and an engine aud some
cars were buried in tine ruins beneath
an immense snow slide, cutting of for
the time being all communications be-
tween Nevada and California by rail or
telegraph. Yesterday, train made up
on the East side of the mountains, aud
carrying the mails from the Western
part of the State, was dispatched to
Ogden. The train men from Truckee
reported that over one thousand men
were at work Saturday and Saturday
night trying to open the road. The
blockaded train arrived here at 8
o'clock last evening, bringing two days
mails from California, and to-day
train from the West arrived on time.

William ID. HOWells.

A newspaper scribe has been visiting
William d. Howells at his home near
Boston, and can not refrain from giving
his impressions ct the editor OF the
Atlantic to the public. The delightful
author is very accessible; he never as
sumes lofty aemeanor or treats young
writer's either with superciliousness or
patronage. He is, on the contrary, very
simple, straightforward, and cordial in
manner, but still shrewd and careful in
all business matters. In person he is
small, rather stout, STOPPING little;
his complexion is dark, his eye bright,
his smile kindly, his brown hair parted
in the middle, his mustache heavy and
just tinged with gray. He has some
thing of an italian look, though he
would be known for an American any
where. He has three children, a boy
and two girls, the elder OF these, four
teen or fifteen, having already raade her
debut in verse in o juvenile magazine.
They usually run in and out of his
study while he is at work, and are as
fond of him as he is of them. His con-
versation is as facile, bright, aud grace
full as his style, and, like that. abounds
in delicate humor and gentle cynicism.
He avoids serious subjects, and can not
be betrayed into argument, but illus
trates whatever he touches with alpie-
turesque lightness. He is accounted
charming in company, but unlike what
might be expected of DISORDER Of
contemporaneou life and manners, he
goes little into society. His wife, very
amiable and pleasant, O sister of Lar
Kin G.. Meade, the sculptor, he first
met in Italy. Howells is a native of
Martins Ferry, Ohio, his father being
Welsh and his mother Pennsylvania
German. Originally printer, he be-
came a journalist-he edited the Ohio
!State Journal once--axd then a pure
litterateur. He is a master of style, and
is in his fOrty-third year,

about hog, and he was going on with
his story when the old fellow Interrupt
