"Certainly," l answered, "bring

He came making apologies, and
said he had not brought a light lest
he should disturb me. We fell into
conversation and seemed so pleased
with each other, differing on some
matters, but agreeing on many, that
we talked until the clock struck
three.

ne EcFsDse OF UTAe Moon.

An eclipse Of the moon which was total
on the American continent occurred about
midnight of Saturday. Its notable feature
was its lurrid blood-colored aspect, which
drew considerable attention, and elic tied
much comment, some Of which had
connection with Mother Shipton and the
end of the world. This redness was due to
the refraction of the suns light by the
earth's atmosphere. When there is an
eclipse Of the moon, the earth is directly
between it and the sun shutting off its
light. Sometimes the moon is further from
the earth than at others, the closer to the
earth the larger the shadow. In this case
the shadow was about three-tenths Of the
moons diameter greater than the moor.
The rays from sun in passing through the
earth's atmosphere, which acts somewhat
like a lens, are reflected out Of q straight
line to q focus. This light passes to the
moon, and is reflected back to the earth.
Its greater redness is due to the quantity of
moisture in the earth's atmosphere, which
has the propriety Of absorbing all but the
red rays, leaving them free.

sTay GOUlGss Last Grnbe

MONTREAL, June 6.--Information was re-
ceived late last night that 8 delegation Of the
Montreal Telegraph Company, now there,
composed Of Hon. j. Abbott and Andrew
Allen, have arranged pTeliminaries with the
Western Union, which controls the Domin-
ion Telegraph Company, for an amalgama-
ton Of the two, thus forming another gigan-
tic monopoly. The plan is to form a new
company that will lease the two lines forever,
the Western Union guaranteeing eight per
cent. 70 the Montreal and six to the Domin-
ion, the Western Union to get half Of all
earnings above these percentages, and all the
other moiety to 60 to the new company. The
dodge is adopted to evade an act Of parlia-
ment passed Co prevent the amalgamaiion OF
these companies. Meetings Of the share
holders of local companies will be called at
ouce to ratify. This new piece Of work by
Jay Gould will cause 8 terrible outcry in
Canada when 1t is made known.

The Successful Man.

When our Successful Man was boy,
and lived III IA manufacturing village OF
New Hampshire, a widows son, the
greatest luxury he knew was to eat APP
pies so he told us the other day,
when we fell into conversation about
old times.
''Yes,n said he, "when | was ten
years old, | used to think that if even
/ was rich enough to have as many APP
piles as ! wanted, all the year round,
| should he perfectly happy. And
now :"
He went on to say that he had one OF
the finest orchards on small scale, to
he found anywhere in Massachusetts,
which produced last year ninety -fouI
barrels of apples of the best varieties
yet produced. But he did not eat two
apples per annum. He could not fOr
while he was making his fortune, he
worked so hard, and confined himself
so closely, as to contract "A chronic
weakness of digestion. With all the
luxuries of the world at his command,
he was obliged to live principally on
oatmeal and milk.
Later in his youth, his ambition
scared above apples. He was begin
ming to get little more money than
he absolutely needed, and was able
occasionally to indulge in ride. He
then thought that if he could ever own
horse fast enough to pass everything
on the road, and take no mans dust,
he should he the proudest and happiest
of men.
"Well,n he continued, Il have a
horse that | think is the fastest in my
country; but never drive him.
gave him to my son last summer, and
for my own use | keep an old plug that
joys along six miles an hour, without
troubling myself about him."
At this point our poor Successful
Man YEARLY took out his watch to see
how time was getting on, and we OBJ
served that the watch was of Il pecul-
lar pattern rarely seen in this country
"This watch" said he, sis another
case in point. One of my young am
billions was to possess as good IA watcl
as mortal man could make. | have
one. gave 5000 in gold for it, at 4
time when gold was more expensive
article than it is now. But, knocking
about the world in sleeping ears, and
Mediterranean steamboats,, l was al
ways little anxious about my watch
and besides, the possession of so costly
an article by IA traveller is temptation
to robbers. One day in Paris motto
ed, in Il shop window, this curious lit
! tie watch marked twenty-five francs
A five dollar watch was IA novelty, and
| bought it. | deposited my six hun
bred dollar time keeper with my bank
er, and it has been there ever since in
an iron safe. find that this little
watch keeps time as well, for all the
ordinary purposes of life, as the other
and have carried it ever since
The Successful Man said these thing,
with what we may call good humor-
ed despair. He made no complaint
but at the age when he ought to he il
the full tide of cheerful activity, he
appeared to have exhausted life

thinks, is on the eve of great relig
ious movement that will attract the
attention of the world.
The Rev. Josiah Tyler, of Natal, con-
tributed to a recent number of The
New York Observer an article on an
unusual subject ideas of God"
The Zulus, he says, worship their an
cestors, "whO are supposed to occupy
subterranean abOdes, occasionally Wis
iting the earth in the form of serpents."
The Zulus maintain that they We're
created by "Great-Grea" who
''sprang from reed on the brink of a
river" Where this river is or what is
the nature of the reed they do not
profess to know. Missionaries are
troubled because there is no word in
the Zulu language which is equivalent
to the word God. Various words have
been proposed, but as the natives cling
fOndly to "Unkulunkuln" (''Great-
Great,") it is probable that this term
will come into general use. The Ger
man and Norwegian missionaries have
used it for some time. In conclusion,
Mr.. Tyler denies emphatically the
charge that the Zulns are without con
/ sciences.
