The AUGUST EoLIPsE.-The total eclipse
of the sun of August 90 belongs to the series
occurring in 1850, 1868, 1886, 1904, etc. and
markable for the extreme length of the
period of totality. This time the greatest
duration will be at a point in the Atlantis
a little more than 400 miles southwest of
Sierra Leone, where the sun will be wholly
covered by the moon for about six and a.
half minutes. On land the greatest dur
alton, nearly five minutes, will be at Ben
guela, on the South African coast. A more
readily accessible point for studying the
eclipse, however, is found at Grenada, in
the West Indies, where the total phase lasts
a little less than four minutes; and this
place has been selected as the site of OBJ
seryation for party of British astronomers,
who will spend the few moments so pre-
cious to science in efforts to add to our
knowledge of the solar corona and other
eclipse phenomena.

with tresses blonde, brown, and brunette;
Some stout and some slender, some snort anu
some tall.
All with charms that ne'er could express,
But the fairest, the sweetest. the dearest OF all
Is the girl with the calico dress.
In the home of the homeless-all praise to It's
All! me, I'll not forget it soon.
I've sung with the deaf and the blind ana Tue
lame
To many dull plaintive tune;
The old Song of Sore and Sorrow was mine
With none to relieve my distress.
Oh! YES there was one. she's being divine
Though she wore striped calico dress.
When you are stricken with wasting disease
And death has nigh claimed you his own.
When, like a bird DER the bright summer seas,
Life's pleasures forever seem flown;
When the friends you have trusted forget and
deceive
And leave you in pain and distress,
The one to assist you, tosoothe and relieve,
Is the girl with the calico dress.

AS softly her footsteps draw near;
There's solace and hope in her smile and her
voice
That makes her most welcome and dear.
All! You who would pierce her with sarcasm's
barbed dart
Revile not, but praise her and bless;
You know not how warm and how kind is the
heart
Inside of that calico dress.
Often in fancy I see her and think
He who wins her affections Is blest:
And, being close to the hydrant, her health
now drink
In q bumper of Michigan's best.
In kindness don't ask me to speak all feel
OF the truth you've a notion I guess
Well, I-God forgive me-feel tempted to steal
That girl and that calico dress.

PROHIBITION IN MIssIssIPPI.-The recent
elections in Mississippi on the prohibition
question have not been successful to any ex-
tent in checking the liquor traffic, but the
vote for prohibition was a very large one,
and indicates rapidly growing sentiment
in that direction. The agitation has also
proved beneficial in many respects, and the
State law throwing restrictions around the
granting of barroom licenses is being invok-
ed with excellent results for the welfare of
the various cities and towns. The whole of
Mississippi is in state of excitement over
this question, and the contests waged in the
various counties have been the warmest in
the annals of the Commonwealth, all classes
of society and both sexes participating
with great energy in the canvass. 1t is the
absorbing topic Of conversation everywhere,
and will no doubt have an important bear
ing upon the future political condition. 1t
is evident that the prohibition sentiment is
making steady Roadway over the entire
South, and it looks as if in the next five
years the sales of liquor would be suppress
ed in large majority of the counties of
every Southern State.-New Orlean Plea
yane.
