SHELBYvILLE, Jan. 31.-The John c. Wal
kerr who has been recently mentioned in the
Journal and credited with having received a
major-general commission from Jeff Davis
during the war is the DIR. John c. Walker
who is assistant superintendent for the
Asylum for the Insane. He is a Demo
crat, first, last and all the time. In
1876, while a resident here, he made
a violent Democratic speech and greatly in
censed the good people OF both parties. To
repay him for his meanness the Shelby Re-
publican reviewed his course during the war
in scathing manner, and proved his con-
nectlon with the knights of the Golden
Circle and other reasonable organizations by
the use of the evidence given in the con-
spiracy trials. AS the result the Doctor was
not called upon to make any more speeches
in this county, and had hard work to live
until 1873, when he left the county to take
his present position. 1t is generally believed
here that he has greater genius for con-
spiracy than for war or medicine.

The total eclipse of the sun on the 9th OF
May next will last six minutes, and ne
longer one will probably occur within the
next one hundred years. 1t will be partially
visible in many places, but few will see it in
its entirety, as its path lies most entirely
through the ocean, touching land nowhere
but at little island in the South Pacific
called the Caroline Island, which is out oil
the track of any established commerce OF
travel. The French government has deter
mined to send an expedition to that island
and it is probable that grand international
gathering of astronomers will meet there to
to take part in this scientific quest.

SELECTIONS FROM BROWNING. Edited by Ed
8. Mason. Henry, Holt d Co., New York;
Bowen, Stewart & Co, Indianapolis. Price, So.
An elegantly-bound volume, well edited,
from the lyrical and dramatic poems OF
Robert Browning. An extract from Sted-
mans Victorian Poets" gives an analysis OF
Browning's character and productions. The
book is greatly marred on page l53 by the
type having been partially pied and incor-
rectly readjusted before the electrotye was
made. A slip of one or two letters is bad
enough, but with no less than ten words
butchered, as in this instance, the mishap is
deplorable. With this exception, the book
is all that could be desired, and will be well
coined everywhere.
