ASTRONOMICAL. ' .
MeUorlc Showtn-W'P"y Kipected la
Ana-ust.
The following communication is published in
lb Boston Trnnscrip
The nubile excitement over the nisrmlflccnt
meteoric display of last year has Dot perhaps,
m completely evaporated as to deunde the ex
pected shower of the com In August of all In
terest to the popular mind. It is needful, how
ver to give warulnff that this eibibltiou will be
tome' compared with that seen last Novem ber on
the other side ol the Atlantic. The August and
November meteors belong to independent
streams and ii could only be by a most remark
able coincidence that the August Bhower ot this
year shculd be very different in character from
the usual run of such appearances. In fact, if
the reader, on the evenings of the 9th and 10th
of August, should succeed n counting shooting
stars at a greater rate than three or four a
minute, for any lrngth of time, he may retire to
rett with the contilent assurance that be has
intncsned a very satisliictory and unusual dis
lav (or. though Its recurrence is more regular
and certaiD, the brilliancy of the AuRURt shower
as, of late years l lcnb, bccn inferior to that
f November. ,.
The existence of the Angnst meteors, as dis
tinct trom the sporadial, has been known for
more than a century. Muschenrock, in 1762,
trt called attention to the great abundance of
meteors during the month of August. Quetelet,
Olbers, ai.d llenzenberg alterward nailed the
matter more closely by the discovery that the
maximum number occurred ou the niehts of
the 9th and 10th of the mouth. The latter date
being Bt. Lawrence's Day, this shower ha- been
laoniiiarly known as the Lawrentins period.
The Chinese ami other ancient records supply
accounts of preat hhowers ot shooting stars evi
dently belonging to the August stream, in the
following years of the present era: Ml, 820,
824, 830, 833, P35, 841, 924, 925, 92G, 933, 1029,
1243. 1451, 1779, 1784, 1789. From these the
astronomer Schiaparelii, who has of late made
some valuable contributions to meteoric theory,
iuds what be thinks evidence that tins ttrettm
of meteors has a period of revolution of 108
years. This, however, Is uncertain, and cannot
as yet take its place among the recognized and
indubitable facts of science.
It will doubtless be remembered that the me
teors ot the 13th of November appeared to ema
nate from a point of the constellation Leo, in a
part ol it commonly known as the Sickle. This
apparent divergence of the meteors from one
point of the heavens the necessary perspective
effect of paths which, lor the small space ot time
occupied by the earth in parsing through the
ring, are nearly rectilinear and parallel obtains
also in the case of the August meteors. Tnis
point must, of course, depend upon the direction
in which the earth is moving at the time ot the
fchower, and also the inclination of the ecliptic
of the plane In which the meteors revolve. The
radiant point for the shouting stars ot the 9th
and 10th of August Is actually fouud to be be
neath the sword-arm ot Perseus, between the
constellation of that name and Lameloparda'us.
There are also, it is tuoutut, indications of three
ether radiants tor the same nights, ot which two
are said to be in Draco, and the third near the
North Pole. It the e are to be depended upon,
it would seem that there are several streams
having a common node and inclined at different
an pies to the plane of the terrestial orbit, and
into which the earth plunges at the same time.
It will then be a matter ot great interest for ob
servers to determine on tne nights in question
whether the apparent paths described by the
meteors, when traced back, indicate more than
one source ot emanation.
One item regarding the Lawrentins meteor9
very worthy 01 notice is that the earth's encoun
ter with them takes place later and later in the
year at each successive annual revolution.
During the ninth century it occurred about July
25; in the thirteenth century on or about August
2; in the fifteenth century on August 7. It now
happens nearly three -weeks later than it did
one thousand years airo, which is as far back as
our accounts extend. This phenomenon is
referable to the influence exerted by the larger
planeis of our system in disturbing the position
of the meteor ring, and thus changing the point
t intersection with the terrestrial orbit. This
shifting ot the point of intersection along the
earth's orbit, which astronomers have desig
nated the secular variation of the node, though
Imperceptible from year to year, becomes yery
notable in the march of centuries,
A motion of the node analogous to this has
also been fouEd 0 exist in the November rins;
in which case, indeed, its amount has lately fur
nished a valuable criterion as to which is the
true of five pos-ible periods of revolution of the
ring. This element of the nodel variation may,
at some time, perform for us a similar servico
in the determination of the period of the August
meteors.
An Old Scandal Revived.
Several literary journals in England have
recently published articles about the mythical
Quaker wife of George HI, "Hannah Light
loot." ofea and Queries attempted to show
that she was nothing but a myth. Mr. J. H.
Jesse at once sent a long letter to the Athenaum,
in which he brought forward several documents,
etc., showing that Hannah Lightfoot really
existed at the time referred to in the story; that
her lather was Matthew Lightfoot, a tradesman
residing at Wapping; that he was a Quaker; that
Hannah's maternal uncle, Henry W heeler, car
ried on business as a linendraper, in Market
treet (or lane), St. James'; that It was here the
Prince saw and fell in love with Hannah: that
Irom this house she suddenly and mysteriously
doped, about 1753 or 1754; and that shortly
afterwards she was clandestinely married to oue
Isaac Axford, a grocer on Ludgate Hill, from
whom she separated either at the church door,
r a verv brief time subsequently, after which
her family were never able to obtain any
authentic information respecting her fate.
A'otes and Queries returns to the charge as
lollows:
"One of the stories respecting Hannah Light
foot tells us that she was married to Axford at
Keith's Chape), May Fair; leit htm at the door of
mt cuupci, jomeci uer royai lover, ana was never
teen afterwards by her desponding husband.
There is this much of truth in the tlorv. as I have
ascertained by an examination of the registers of
marriage ot tne cnapei in question, namely : that
Isaac Axford and Hannah Lightfoot really were
Married there on December 11, 1753; at which
time the Prince, 'bigoted, jouuir, and chaste,' to
whose arms she is said to have down, was fifteen
7 ears of age. Is this a very probable story! When
add that Isaac Axford married a second wife on
December 3, 1769 something kss than six years
atter bis marriage with Hannah Lightfoot, and
that he then aescrtoea himseir a a 'widower,'
and that this was nearly a twelvemonth before
tieorge III ascended the throne I have told my
readers all that 1 have gathered upon the sub
ject up to this time. I am still pursuing my
inouiries. and they shall be made acquainted
with the result, but I feel assured that those
who lairlv weieh all the evidence which
already exists upon the subject, will be pre
pared to share the conviction which I have
already avowed, that, as far aa George III is
concerned, 'the story of Hannah Lightfoot is a
fiction, and nothing but a fiction, Irom begin.

A meet-
ing of representative ot these crews wm held
Testcrday afternoon In tne ofllee of the Boston
Nvaler Tower Company, to make arrangements
for the race, the St. John men having accepted
the challenge. James Lee, Joshua Ward, and
Henry 13. Munn appeared lor the Ward crew,
and John Morris for the Rt. John men. Articles
were drawn up and signed, according to which
the conditions ot the race are substantially aa
follows.: The time Is Wednesday. September 11,
1807, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon: the place is
the Connecticut tiver, af Springfield; distance, 6
miles; the water to be smooth, and the weather
good; the stake is 1000 each aide, in greenbacks.
Captain John T. Gardner was chosen as referee,
and Mr. William T. Blaklio stakeholder. Each
side deposited $2j0 m the bands of the latter
gentleman as forfeit money. A determined
tboueh amicable spirit prevailed at the meet
ing, and there is every Indication that the race
will be conducted 1 airly and satisfactorily
to all parties. The precise location of
the course has not been decided nnon.
The three-mile coursp at Springfield, used at
present, begins at the railroad bridge, and
extends down the river. It is straight for about
a mile and a quarter, when It curves to the
stake. A straight course for four or five miles
down the river may be obtained Irom this stake,
and it is quite probable that it will be taken for
the race. The number of Judees has not been
decided upon. It is to be hoped that when it is,
provisitn will be made lor watching the entire
course. The crews have not been indicated ex
plicitly, the articles ot the race providing that
any one crew from New York shall compete
with any other from St. John. Of course each
side will send its bent men, and it is reasonably
certain that the Ward brothers, Hank (stroke),
Charley, Gilbert, and Joshua fbow), will repre
sent New ioik, and the St. John crew winning
in Paris, the other si'tc. The remainder of the
stake-money, $750, will be deposited on the 3d
of September.
The Kdncat'on of Worltlngmen.
In a recent letter from Dr. Percy, of the
British School of Mines, the following passage
occurs:
"Not many years ago, notwithstanding the
prominent position which Great Britain then
held among the lron-nroduclng nations of the
world, scarcely a chemist could be found m any
iron-work in tne kingdom, and such a thing as
an analysis of an iron ore or of iron was hardly
ever thought of. What is the fact now? Why,
the absence of an evport chemist from a great
iron-work is the exception and not the rule. I
could supply you with the names of able
chemists thus scattered throughout our Iron
works. And what is true of this is equally
true of other branches of metallurgy. During
the last few years I have had the opportunity of
seeing the examination papers on metallurgy of
workingmen, sent to the Scienc and Art De
partment at South Kingston, and I say with
confidence that at leat in that branch much
piogress has been mad? in the diffusion of
'technical education.' I am personally ac
quainted with many of our chief metallurgical
works, and have had ample opportunities of
conversing with the work mermen they employ,
and I have been delighted to observe their de
sire tor knowledge concerning the principles of
their art, and on many occasions how much
knowledge of those principles they have ob
tained." SESgfts

A Telegraph Story.
The Tekqranher remarks that "a somewhat
singular cause cf trouble on the teleeraph line
was recently discovered by Mr. 8. C. Hendrlck
son while making an inspection of the Sandy
hook wire. This wire uses tne Lnerts diocic
insulators, and it wan lound that tbe fish-hawks
which abound in that vicinity had made use of
tbe block as a convenient resting-place whereon
to tear in pieces and devour their prey. The
entrails and refuse of the hsh bad formed a
solid mass, in many instances covering the insu
lator ana adjacent wire, causing a great amount
of 'escape' in wet weather. It has been lound
necessary to substitute the glass and bracket
insulator, which will improve tbe working of
tbe line, though at the expense ot considerable
inconvenience to the fibh-hawks. The wires are
also found in many instances in the vicinity of
tbe eea-coast to be completely incrusted with
salt, deposited from the spray of the surf."
Return of the French ZSonltar Onondaga,
Yesteiday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the Freueh
gunboat Mercedila, having in tow the monitor
unoudaga, which started some days since for
France, came up the harbor. From the way in
which the Onondaga behaved she appears to
have her rudder damaged, as, in passing
through the Narrows, she yawed from side to
Hde, and steered wildly. If such should be the
case, this monitor has met with a similar acci
dent as that which befe! the Dunderbcre. she
having to put back to port under the same cir
cumstances five days after she first started for
Europe. These vessels could not have suffered
from any stress of weather, as the Onoudasra
has all her boats and deck fittings complete.
The French tngate Thenmis has also returned,
probably on account of the accident to her
consort. JV. Y. Hera d.

Singular AerMant In a Theatre An
Actreea Caught In a Trap.
From tha Chicago rout, July 29.
On Wednesday night, at the Opera House, a
very funny episode occurred on the first produc
tion ot the Might (ho. In the first scene, where
tbe lover (Paul Martinelll) seizes his sweetheart
in the ball room and lumps through a picture In
the first entrance with her, a little contretemps
Dot set down In the bill, nor usual to the scene,
transpired. Seizing the fragile form of his be
loved In his arms, he rushed across the
stage, made a dart at the picture, and didn't go
through one side of the panel either being
fastened, or else the performer did not Jump
hiph enough. The young hero, nothing daunted,
pushed the dummy througti the trap, and ran
off at the second entrance with his inamorata,
wben the audience breathed again.
