SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.


Those who live in the line of tctality
of the eclipse of the sun, May 2s, are to
be envied. The partial eclipse is a
curious spectacle. but, of course, moth
ing compared with the grandeur OF
the totality when the somber shadow
of the moon envelopes the earth along
a path $50 miles wide, moving ut the
absolute rate of nearly 1000 miles an
hour from west to east, and hence
faster than the movement of the earth
ON it's axis, which at the equator is
about 1,040 miles an hour from west
to east. Were the moons shadow
slower, it would seem to travel from
east to west, but, as it is faster, it
has motion from the west, and hence
the eclipse is seen first beyond New
Orleans and last in the Red sea.

James of Gen. Joseph +. Wheeler and

Reform, Mayor at Work.
Mayor II. C. Ford, of Middlesboro,
Ky, has opened his regime in that
mountain town and intends to run it
rs he thinks Christ would run if it lie
were mayor. Mayor Ford made his
first move, when every saloon, barber
shop, fruit stand and cigar stand was
closed on Sunday. The drug stores
were only allowed to sell medicines,
and not cigar or glass of soda
water went over their counters. News
stands were closed, and the metro
politan newspapers were to b obtained
only from feet-footed boys on the
streets, who were able to evade the
police. This unusual condition of If
fairs arose from an order to the police
by Mayor Ford to see that the Sunday
law was observed by one and all. A
great many went unshaved, and 9th
ers had to do without the Sunday
roast or the after-dinner cigar.
Texas Salt Deposit.
About 800 miles southwest of Hous-
ton, Tex, in Hildalgo county, is now
claimed to be one of the most re-
markable salt lakes in the world. This
lake, which contains 7Ss acres of pure
salt, is surrounded by wild fringe of
dense thickets. The salt is three TO
four feet deep in crystal form, and
the water is a brine of unusual
strength, crystali2ing with great ra
pidity. But few people outside of the
state know of the existence of this
lake; in fact, nearly all Texas maps
omit it, although it has been known
to be source of supply for local con-
sumption over 200 years. Wagon
trains moving in the southwest tn and
from Brownsville during the civil war
handled the salt; in fact, it was the
only supply that Texas had to draw
from during that period.
