Tho drodco scoops up tho rock and dumps it on a bsrgo, which is towod to tbo wharf and unloaded oppo site tbo St. Charles Hotel. ItBostns we have boon misundorstood. Several sinners havo called upon us and remarked that baso ball is not a sin and that foot ball Is a virtue ; that therefore It Is not a sin to play these gamoa on Sun day. This wo admit. In our belief Sun day is a day of rocroation, nnd K rocroa tlon can be had at baso ball or root ball or any other kind of wall, wo havo no objoctlons to urgo. 'Wo dohowover main tain, that pugiliitio encounters should not ho put down upon tho list of recreations.

Many of those who hava de nounced tho miracles as ridiculous and Impossible, have concluded, since Mrs. Hollos began her soancos bore, that It is. possible Christ may havo turned water Into wlno, walked upon the soaand raised tho doad. Sho has dono as wondorful things as thoio, nnd they are willing to admit that Christ may have been as good a medium as sho Is.

Wo hopo our mlnlstors will advance upon this sub Ject. To thorn wo look for wisdom.

Tho moon enters the shadow oT th earth at oloven o'clock and forty six minute', and w ill bo totally eclipsed at ono o'clock ami four minutes (Sunday morning) middle or cclipio one i. 'clock and twenty.ono minutes. Total celipiu ends at ono o'clock and thirty-eight rain utui, nnd tun moon leaves the shadow at two o'clock and fifty-six mlniituv As tho moon shines by borrowed light from tho sun, (it being an opaque body llko the otrth) somo may question why It is vtslblo while hid from tno sun behind tho earth, hi it ii while eclipsed. During this Inter val it will appear still visible, shining with a dull, red light. Since it is hiddon from the sun this light cannot be direct, nor cin It be redacted by tbo earth, tor the dark side is turned to tho moan. This light is accounted for by the refraction or the earth's atmosphere, by which tho tun's rays aro bent and conveyed In sufficient quantity to aflord the feeblo light mon tioned. Or course, at tho mtddlo or the eclipse, (1 hour, 21 mlnuy) the moon will bo full, and at this Instant, a straight line from tho centro o( the sun would piu through lh rnntrn of thnnarth and the moon or U' tbreo bodies are In exact rango. All theso predictions glvon for this nlcht, are derivnd from aitrooo roers, and aro compiled by Til u Dulls: tin for tho information of Its readers, who can, wltb the nukod eyo and the aid or a good watch, (set to Cairo time) observe for thomsolvcs. Astronomors otten excito our astonish ment by statements of magnitudes and dlslancos. For Instance, that our sun is ono million four hundred thousand times larger than our earth, and that oven the nearest of tho Qzed stars is so vastly (lis tant that wo cannot form an adsquato con ception by stating it in miles; and soek lo measure It by tho flight of light (which travels from tho tun to the earth in oigbt minutos and sevon seconds) and it Is found that this agont requires mora than three and ono-balf years to reach us irom oven tbo nearest of thoso stars. Wo might bo Inclined to suspect the purposeof suoh statements to be only to ox cite our wondor and admiration, for it ro quires profound mathematical knowledgo and reflnod Instruments to investigate tbo truths of such amazing results, and yet tho two examples glvon aro but modorato results or tho investigations of tbo science or astronomy. But as wo before said, eclipses can bo vlewod by even tho un laarnod, and the accuracy of tbo astrono mer tested by tho naked oyo and common clock. As tboir predictions have boon always confirmed, even the ignorant must bo convinced of tho truths or astron omy. X10ri;E to tub I'UULIO.
