Before the i .:c for a white horse" camo upon us we were accustomed to a great deal of admira? tion from gentlemen, and I supposo caused i men jealousy to esisi- in fne breasts of our less favored and darker-headed sisters, for they have shamefully formed a plot to throw us into ignominy, or at least to make ii so uncomfortable tor us that we are obliged to hide ourselves away from an in tive and laughing crowd. My hair id not red ; that is, ? neve/ has been called red until lately, and now it certainly must have taken a deeper tint, for as I pass down the street I hear something like ?Ins from all sides "Look for a white horse !" "Where's il;.- white horse?" Why, haven't, you ,':o:ir?l of the rcd-hended'girl-wbite>horse nrs/.e? It's too funuj for anything! it you ?en a red-headed <;?'! ji?^t look lor it and you are suro to see a wbitohotse. It's too funnv. [t. uover fails," etc. Now it is alto gether "too funny/' and, to say fne least, is very uncomfortable. A party was recently formed 10 investigate into the matter and find out, if possible, who was responsible for the pint (for ploi it is) and the mystery, if any, connected with red hair and white horses. They unanimously agreed that there w;(s im mystery, and that it is nothing more than :i wickedly-gotten-by scheme t<> draw attention from us : Tor just so soon p.s the color < f our hair ifl seen every one is looking for i be horse, never as much as cast iog a glance or second thought upon us.? Letter in Chicago Tribune. The Coming Eclipse.?There will he a total eclipse of the sun on the J!'!h. Our Satellit?', when, al now moon, she pases be tween the c arth and the sun. will complete-! Ip hide the great central orb from Mm view (.Tiliose who arc in the righl portion of the globe and undir the right conditions ?o be hold an exhibition of celestial grandeur far surpassing any other seen by mortal t-\vs. Unfortunately, our country is not the favor? ed spot for a view of tii- grand spectacle. The inhabitant j pfa narrow belt of sand in iho Eastern hemisphere will behold the phenomenon la all its awe-inspiring glory. The moon before their wandering gaze will encroach on the Eolar surface until every particle ..: sunlight is hidden from view. The greatest, glory of the scene is Iben uo folded. The great globe of the moon, of inky blackness, srenis to hang suspended in the heavens. A radiant crown of silvery lighl Rurroundsit, ami rosy protuberances liko tongues of flame Hash forth from Lhe lunar border. 2s'o words can express the sublimity and grandeur of the exhibition. The ])nth of totality for the coming eclipse passes through Germany, Poland, Russia, Mantchoria and Japan, reaching its limit in tlm Pacilic Ocean. Astronomers from all parts of th.e world are establishing them wives in tho most favorable positions for ob >er vat ion, and will make the most of the few precious moments at their command for wresting from th'> sun snmt; of tho weighty secrets held in his omnipotent grasp. Tho mosl favorali ?? stations will lw at some dis? tance e?*t, from the commencement of tho path ol totality, for the further east the ob !i ver I-) the later will the eclipse occur. Doty on Tobacco.?Assistant Secretary Maynard yesterday cave a decision in re :',nr<l to the classification of leaf tobacco which will be of interest to the tobacco trade. The question arose on a decision of the col lectoratEl Paso, Texas, assessing duty at the ra'o of 7-"> cents per pound on certain leaf tobacco imported from Mexico, of which 95 '?lit of every 100 leave- were of t::c requisite size ami fineness for use ns wrappers, and ICO of which leave- weighed less than a pound, to bis decision Judge Maynard -ays : "Thesubject of tho tax 'leaf tobac? co,' not 'bale*' or 'b?nde,' or 'packages' of leal tobacco, ami the liability to duty can be made to depend upon the foam of the pack* a^eiu which tho importation is nnde. Eve? ry leaf, S5 per cent, of which is suitable for wrappers, and tho weight of which is such that more than 100 leaves would be required to weigh a pound, is declared \o be liaolo to the high rate of duty. The weight ;s not to he determined by bands rv packages-or bales, but by leaves. It is the practice to regard the hand or package as the uni:, and in case 85 per cent, of it is not found to be of light we igln and suitable for wrappers, then to regard the whole importation as dutiable at 35 cents per pound, fie thinks such prac? tice is not in accordance with the intent of the law, and should be discontinued. It follows that, in the case under consider? ation, 5a* per cent, of the invoice was dutia hie at 75 cents per pound, and 11 per cent. ?i 35 cents per pound." A Collision.?About 11 o'clock Sunday i night a collision occurred between two freight trains on tb?> Baltimore and Ohio lIaiIror.il ?s tbey wero approaching Cum? berland. The traiu3 were eastbound, and j their time was about au hour apart. The! first train was heavily loaded with coal, and j It stalled on a grade iu the c'ty and was! compelled to run into t he yard with a sec- j tion, leaving tbe other section on the main | ??wk. A brakeman was sent back to dag -ne approaching freight, but he only got a Miort distance when the troight came along Tbo engineer reversed bia engine, but ton Inte to prevent s collision with tbo portion landing on the track, and it derailed a number oi* coal hoppers and teles-coped a number of the latter train's box cars. One car was loaded with barrels of kerosene, which wcio demolished. One car, loaded with groceries, was throw.", across the track. A car conffining lumber, was badly broken. In it were! wo tramps, who made a very narrow escape from death. One of them escaped unhurt. The other, a boy, about fifteen years of age, who Ejave his name as Leonard Ocbler, from Larne, Ohio, was coti^'if bet.ween the cars. His hp and arms wer?' badly crushed, beingpinioned for over half an h ur before be body could bo re? lease''. Xhe b( ? bas been well cared for, and may recover. The other trarnn was about forty years of age, and ran away after the accident.
