Within seventy thileS of the centre of the eclipse's track, the solar,disc willfor a single instant be totally obscured;' but directly in the middle of its path, the duration of tbe, eclipse will vary from two minutes and twenty-three seconds to three minutes and forty-Seven seconds. It is said that "no total eclipse of the sun has been visible in-any considerable portion of this, country since 1834, . and none will b e visible after this year during the present cen tury." In these times the astronomers, in stead of waiting patiently at their observa tories for the eclipse to approach them, whiele it may do,in the course of centuries, have ac quired the habit of taking their observations to the central line of the eclipse: Ou this oc elision scientific parties twill go to various points along the line, some sent by the United States Covernment and sonic. by private en terprise. to study interesting problems rela tive to the sun's physical constitution. The deßtination of most of the scientific par ties isßurlington, lowa, audits vicinity. That - point is selected because it is the best situated of those which are equally accessible. The further west we go the earlier in the day will the'eclipse occur, until we reach Alaska,where it comes about noon. 'This is both on account of the difference of apparent time (it being cc the same actualmoment sunset on our Atlan tic cOast and near noon on the Pacific) and be cause the moon travels over the sun from west.to east, so that it takes nearly two hours 'of actual time for • the shadow to traverse our continent. 'The nearer to noon the phenomena occurs the better for observations, especially photographic 'ones, as there is less risk efliaZe or cloud about the sun. The duration of the total phase is also longer Where' the eclipse occurs at- noon'; for then-the surface of the earth is moving nearly in the same direction as the moon and its shadow; and so tends to keep in the shade longer. Near sunrise or sunset the surface of the earth would be simply moYing toward or from the moon, and this motion (of one tnou sand miles an hour) would therefore leave no effect in keeping up'with the moving shadow.' The , daration of the entire eclipse, from first to last Contact, will be about two..lAters. Scientific men who are not astronomers pro fessionally are latterly in the habit ofstudying with close attention the: various phenomena connected with the withdrawal of the sun's light on these oceasions,and the peculiaritiesof the light itself. A variety of, instruments are now employed for the purpose of making ob servations, and the record is one of universal interestwhen presented. There have hike wise been -voter certain rather remarkable phases of the moon as her form passed across the face of the sun, Which men of science are eager to verify and explain. „ in Witnessingtuodern o eflipses, and this one in particular, the barometer, thermometer andhygrometer will be used, to ascertain the atmospheric effects of the phelloinenon, The Morton party and the Piens, .party are to bring back with them such photographs di the scene as its brief duration will enable Mr. Black to take with his instruments. Stray planets are.also to be _looked:in) during, the sun's convenient Oscillation, in particular Atat—or-those-within--th e- orbit-of --M emery.- On the whole, an amazingly small pinch of time:is given Ifyilie belay heavenly bodies for the most dexterous astronomers to hurry up their observations, and even for that they are all,sincerely grateful, as the world should be' to them in turn.. saris PROGnAintLI. The following sketch of the appearance of • the eclipse will be read with interest : " For the convenience of our readers we give a short description of the phenomena to be expected. As regards the appearances under the heads of ii and 5, a spy-glass or small telescope will be necessary to reveal them to satisfactictit, "1.

To witness this impressiVe sight care must he exercised, lest, in the ex eneent of the 'moment, the swiftly ap proacleing shadow' be unheeded. ":1. The last thread of light frone the sun's disc sometimes appears to separate into little grains or beads before its total disappearance. This phenoinenon leas received the name of s Beads,' from the noted astronomer who first witnessed it. "4. Instantly on the extinction on the sun will be seen the grandest feature of the eclips e —the corona, or crown of light, issuing on all sides apparently front the purple-black disc of the moon, though in reality from the sun. It is the atmosphere of the sun rendered visible by the absence of the overpowering sunlight. As the light is dazzlingly white ' a piece of smoked glass will enable you to survey it without the inconvenience which might oth erwise arise. "5. In the corona, and issuing also appas rently from the dark moon, there will - appear several rosecolored flames projecting - beyond" tile - gloomy'disc, perhima •a tenth of the diameter of flee moon.

Planets and 'large stars are often noted durittg total ellipses by those who have pre viously studied their position ou a celestial map. As the darkness hardly exceeds that of a moonlight night, they are not always readily found in the two or three Minutes of gloom that attend the entire Obscuration of the sun. By a little study of the amp at the eommence ment of this number one may be able to re cognize the most conspicuous planets and star:That will be visible.

CITY BULLETIN. The Temperance Idorement...conyciit ion to Nominate a City and COunty Ticket. In accordance with a call published in the newspapers a meeting of delegates of '1 The ProlnbitOry Party" assembled at Concert Hall this morning. The Convention was to have been composed of three delegates from each Ward, but at the time the proceedings com menced there were twentv-six persons (exclu sive of reporters) present in the room. The Convention was called to order shortly after ten o'clock by I. Newton Pierce. ,Geo. B. Hicks W1t . .4 chosen temporary chairman, and Alex. 11. Cutler secretary.. lir. telex Sloan opened the proceedings with prayer. Mr. Hicks then said that men of both po litical parties are greatly - dissatisfied with the nominations made, and are anxious to have an opportunity of voting for • good men. They desire a_separate and distinct ticket,. to he •compose&of good, honest and sober men, inqead lad, unreliable, drunken men. A preliminary meeting' was held and the matter of the expediency of calling a conven tion was discussed. A Committee was ap pointed with power to call a Convention, to be composed of delegates from different Wards, to nominate a ticket—a ticket in which integ rity and worth shall he the standard value. The time has conic for this movement, and he hoped that it is not far distant when a State Convention will be called. for the nomination of a ticket, and the organization of a State Temperance political party. Ap pi:nisei The Temperance people have Wen depending on the existing parties for many years, and have been told to wait. They have_ waited until patience has ceased to be a virtue. f the political parties,will not act, those in favor of the temperance cause nmst rely upon themselves. The speaker then returned his thanks for his selection as chairman, and hoped that the business of the convention would be, despatched with harmony, and that no attempt would be made to turn it into a rabble, as pre vious conventions had been, so that the work can be speedily accomplished and a formidable ticket be presented to the citizens of Phila.' 'James mcConnick wits then appointed door keeper. Tlie following committees were then appointed: On Credentials—Gedrge Goebel, George W. Hinkle, Chas. Shock. On Permanent Organization—Amos Briggs, .1. C. Garrigucs, Hugh Whitely, Alex. Sloan, S. S. Ketchum, henry Dubree, James Pollock. On Platform—l. N. Peirce,. Mitt. H. Lang- W. Bewley, \Vm. Tapnier, R. Grant It was then agreed that vvery person not a dele: , ate should leave the room. The Cmlimittee on CredenthtlN then made a report oit the credentiaN. Ten wards were not represented, and but few of the delegates mentioned in the credentials answered to,their names. ..\.t this time there Were 31 person,: in in the room. Mr. Briggs, of the Committee on Perma nent Organization, reported for permanent ,)ftieers : President—Geo. H. Hicks Secretary—Alex. It. Cutler The report With agreed to. 31.r.Amos Ilriggs, by request, then delivered an address upon the subjetit of temperance. The comouttae, on resolutions'Ateported the following: IR( ices, It is the legitimate province of go vernment to render its citizens secure in the exercise of their rights and the enjoyment of , their privileges, and as every tr t' reat principle or reform must, of necessitibefirst advocated is - some --party;-- -when — existing — parti es - n-e -glect to recognize it,. then it beeoules_thaim, intrativeiluty of intelligmt citizens to organize ti new party for the purpose of securing that refinin which seems necessary for the public good. And, 117/citees, The appalling increase of the rum all midst calls loudly upon all friends of morality to use their influence for its over throw ; and as neither of the present political parties has the courage or will to pay any attention to the demand for reform in this re spect, but rather yields to the dictates of cor rupt combinations, and sueemubs to their be hests by nominating for office those who have for years, if not a life-time, been identified with' the liquor traffic, and whose gain and interests are with this prolific source of crime and misery; therefore, Resofred, That we, citizens of Philadelphia, in convention assembled, feeling the responsi tiility of our position, and the sacrifice neees ary to be made the maintenance of great principles, do solemnly accept the issue, and unite tffirSl•lVeti into an lxnuttExnustr PAirry, ased upon tcniperance and moral principles, but upon a platform sufficiently broad to in vite mid embrace the good and honest men of all parties; to reform the ;daises of our muni cipal government, and to nominate men of knotivii virtue, pledged to sustain these prin eiplei.:. .11.m/red, That as the dishonesty and cor ruption, as well as the selfishness and tyranny, of partisan leaders blive - at lengi excited the disgust and scorn of the better crasses in both parties, we repudiate their nominations, told In 'li eve that free government can only be maintained and perpetuated by elevating to OftiN , men of honesty, integrity, strict sobriety, and unequivocally ill favor of prohibiting the liquor tyallie. Reso/0./, That freemen should not feel im pelled to vote for a candidate whoSe antece dents are immoral and corrupt, or whose no mination has been procured by himself or his friends' resorting to sonic dishonest or unfair . expedients.

Are not the former worthy the suffrages of the moral portion of the counnu nity, and are not the latter right in the sight of God, and worthy the support cf every intelli gent person ?. • Resolved, That. this party be called "The In dependent Reform Party." • •• , . The resolutions were adopted. The President then appointed a Pinnace Committee, as follows : .1. C. Garrignes, Geo. Goebel, Alexander Sloan, Wm. pannier, Alexa , r It. Cutler, dames McCormick and Am .iggs. Mr. riggs moved that a Committee of one from each Ward be appointed by the .

Adjourned until this afternoon. •Trimrilltdoißrnv QUESTION BEFORX THE Couirr.—This Morning Mr. Sel lers, for Mr. John C. Salle ' up before Judge Bfe*ster the. apphcatiou for man damus, made by Mr. Smith, to i pompel the assessors of the Fifth Ward to place his name on.the Division list of the Sixth Division of therWard. The suggestion sets tbrth that ;mai C Smith "is a =five citizen of the United States, and of 'this State; that he is 29 years of age; that he has resided for 27 years last past that part of the city now the 'r.S.ixth Division of the Fifth Ward thereof; that he now resides at the southehst corner of Fourth and streets,in said'diVision ;That ho occupies a room in the .secOlidstoty Of the said. house,wherein he is a .boarder and lodger ; the house---4hat is, the dwelling part thereof—is occupied by Mr. Joseph Garwood ; thaf'he hits made applica tion to George Concannon and. Hector Wil 'Rani's, the assessors ofsaid ward., to be assessed and placed on the division transcript as a pri vate resident according "to the provisions of the Registry Act of A.pri1,1869, but . the said Hector Williams has refused to do so upon the ground that the lower story of the build ing is occupied as a tavern; that a certain Stephen Williallis occupies said lower story as a' tavern, but it is not connected in any way with the rest of the imilding,Which iwoccupied 415- a_private_boarding,house by,,said Joseph Garwood, who rents the same separate and disconnected from the tavern. Mr. Sellers read the twenty-seventh section of the Registry law in support of his position, that Mr. Smith was entitled to be placed on the division transcript, because Mr. Garwood , is a "private householder," and not the keeper of a tavern, &e., and because Mr. Smith is a "(pantie d elector resitting actually with this private householder." Mr. Dropsie, for the assessors, contended that they had followed the law, anti that Mr. Smith could have his name placed on the list at the proper tithe in the manner prescribed . by the Registry act. Mr. Sellers again addressed the Court, point --ing-ont the injustice to re.sult from the act of • the assessors. Judge lhewster suggested that the one diffi culty in the way of this i•elator'is that there are other renu•dies provided by this anil other laws. tinder this law it may be by applica tion to the canvassers. Mr. Sellers—That is, to say, to put him on a list, but not on the list which gives him the rights of an elector? • Judge Brewster—Being on a supplemental list gives him the right to vote. There is a remedy also at the polls, Where he may make the proper proof. 1 merely make these sug .gestions in order that counsel may, argue. Mr. Sellers said that the list in question was not 'the list which determines of itself the right of the elector to vote. He is entitled to have his name on that list, though he may not intend to vote. It is his right to have his rights as an elector determined in this As sessors' list. Droi isie read the 28th section of the act, shoWing that the elector could go before the canvassers and there have a remedy for any neglect of duty by the assessors. Mr. Sellers suggeste,d that under the act of 18:0, providing for assessors, the rights of the minority are guarded by placing a representa tive of the minority in a position to do so. - Under the Registry law it is different, fdr there the majority rule is recognized, a Majority of the Board of Aldermen selecting the canvassers, and the canvassers acting through a majority. The J iniga an uOn need that he would give his decision before Saturday. ROBBERY ON CHEST NU T Sritmilr.—A small glass jewelry case, in front of the store of Geo. A. Eno. at the southeast corner of Eighth and Chestnut streets, was opened by some thief or thieves, with a false key, be: tween seven and nine o'clock this morning, and the contents, consisting of, gold chains acid jewelry, to the value of about '51,000, were stolen therefrom. The robbers made their escape with the plunder unnoticed. , A Munulinous ATTAcK.—Geo. Schrader, a butcher hi the Girard Avenue Market-house, yesterday used very insulting language to a lady. He was reprimanded by Policemen Wilson and Wagner. Schrader did not like to he interfered with,and he drove the officers away with a butcher knife, and threatened to kill them if they returned. He NV:I,4 subse quently arrested. A ld. Allison held him in i'Bllo ball to answer at court. Teat: NATATORIUM AND Gl - MNASIUM:—TIAS valuable and important institution was estab lished years ago by Dr. 'Jansen, on Broad street, below IN alnut,and he has brought it to great yierfection. Physical education has been the subject of Many essays; its importance in developing the muscles nail strengthening the Liman frame, thereby invigorting health and prolonging life, has been stated time and again. The Physical Institute of Dr. Jan fo,n --is- complete in all apartment nail arrangements, so as to afford entire Mb{ t.nienre - and comfort—of the patrons. __lnn _the lowertr. first story is an extensive bathing tub, which is continually supplied with streams of pure water. The bottom of the tub is an ittyßned plane, and the water is three feet deep itl one end and ten feet at the other. Everything necessary to en ablevoungpeople to learn the art ofswiinming has been introduced. Springing boards, rings, swings, bandholts, floats, cords, &'-c., &c., are at all times present, the uses of which bring all the muscles into full play and activity, con sequently strengthening and developing them; and at the same time the novice is learning how to swim. upper part of the Building is apprbpriated to gymnastic pur poses, and'everything here is arranged in ac cordance with those scientific theories which are supposed to he esseidial to physical development. li ere we have swinging ladders, cloud swings, or flying rings, the wooden horse, horizontal liars, parallel liars and ladders. Of course, in an institution like that, of Dr. Jansen much judgment is re quired to prevent the pupils overdoing their woilt.!' In this respect the rules of the institu tion are well digested, and they are strictly conformed to. Dressing-rooms are arranged with regard to strict privacy. They are fur nished with everything necessary for the con venience of those who have occasion to u4e them. Both sexes attend the Institute at stated times. Swimming is an art that slit utlit be learnel by everybody, for on some occasions it might be found very useful]. We remember a case Suslainin , r ' this suggestion. Many years ago Colonel John 1..
