Every lover ot poetry is familiar with Gray ’a
Elegy in « Country Chufch-yarf, which Gene
ral Wolfe repeated the . evening before his
attack on Quebec, where he gained victory
and lost his life; Hu Mid, as ho softly re
peated the stanzas to his companions, the
while they were drifting in darkness and
silence down the St. Lawrence,«l wbuld pre
fer being author of lhat'poem to the glory of
beating the French to-morrow.” can yo
forget how, not quite eight yeans ago, when
Daniel Webster was upon hfs death-bed, ho
called his son to read this elegy to him, and
derived consolation and delight from its sub
lime thoughts and fiuttiliar words. !
It is the misfortune of excellence to bo pa.
rodled—no one dreams of burlesquing shallow
mediocrity. Gray’s Elegy has often been
parodied. The best specimen of this Is to bo
found in the Legal Examiner , published in
London in 1844, the authorship of jwhich is
unknown. Here St is, from Sts title jand allu
sions, evidently the production of a lawyer,
ELEGY IN THE TEMPLE GARDENS.
The ganlaner rings'tbs bell at ciocc of dari
The motltr crowd wind aiowir bomo to ran t
Soft on ibe Tbsmoa tbe daylight fsdesaway.
And leaves lbs yglka to darkness and to me.
■Now abme tbe sUmmanng fas lamps os tba sifhL
Tho wardens now the outer portals lock,,
And deapeit stillness marks tb’-approacb of alfbt,
Bava when the watchman oalla "part ten o'etook."
Rave, also, when from ronder antinae tower,*
With solemn aound the ball strltaa on the ear,
damsels as they hear the hear,
Trip through the gloomy oohrts with haste and fear
In those biab rooms where clients ne’er intrude,
And hare and there a light doth dimly peep,
Each in his lonely act of ohambera mewedj
. Tho bnedesa crowd their nigbtly vigils keop.
Tha grave attorney, knocking ftinuently,
Tbe uttering clerk, who hsalena to tho door,
The bulky brief and oorrostonding fee,
Are things unknown to all that lofty door.
Small eomfort theirs when each dull <day la o’er,
No gentle wife their Joys and'griefs to share ;
No quiet homeward walk at half-past rour,
To some snug tanement near RosstU Betters. .
Oft have they read eaoh prosing tana report,
Dali treatises and statutes not a few;
How mini a vaoant day they’ve passed in oourt ! ■
How many a barren oirouit travell’d through.
Yet let.not l udges mock therr toil,,
. And ioie at sapient faoes no one knows i
Nor esk, with oarelraa and ooatemptuous smile,
Jf no one moves jn all tbe long back rows l
Vain is the coif, the ermlned role, tbe strife
Of Courts, and vain is all snoosss e’er gave;
Say, can the Judge, whose word gives deetlr or lire.
Reprieve himtelf, when oummonsd to the grave l
Nor von, ye I seders.view them with ill-will,
If noonessesthejrspseebes'rn The Timet,
Where long-drawn columns oft proolalm your skill
To blaoken innooenoe and palliate onmee.
Can legal lore or animated speech
Avert that sentence whloh awaits on all !
Can niri yriur oraft and snareso’erreaoh
- That Judge, whole look tbe boldest must appal ! '
Perhaps in those neglected rooms abound
Men deeply versed In all the quirks' of iawt.
, Who oould, wfth esses, risht and wrone oonfound,
And common senes hpsat, by splitting straws.
Hat, ah Ito them no olerk his golden pegs, .
' Rich With retaining fees, did e'er unroll;
Chili negllgenoe repressed their legal rags,
And Doze the quibbling current of the soul.
Full many hamster, wbo well oould plead,
, Tboee dark and nnfrequenft d oknmbei e bear i'

* The Middle Temple Hall Tower—a modern antique
Hon* Joseph Holt, Postmaster General
United States*
Sift: The discontent evinced by the public'at
the recent interruption of ocean mail communica
tion with the Pacific ooast forcibly illustrates the
importance of that mail, and should dispose the
Post Office Department no longer to sanction the
wanton destruction of Utters sent to post offices in
California; Oregon, Ac. I repeat, " Wantoh daft rue *
tipn of letters;” for, when the serious oonsoquenoes
that may flow from the non-delivery of a letter
aro considered, to destroy it in the face of a’sim
ple and inexpensive device, whereby it is admit
ted the letter can be delivered, is, in my opinion,
an aof not only of wanton, but wicked destruc
tion.
To to-knowledge of yotirSolf the reanomlble
head of the Pest Office Department—and of tho
First.and Third Assistant Postmasters General,
thousands of letters mailed by olUzens in the At
lantic States to their relatives and friends in Cali
fornia, Ac., -arc destroyed in the Ban Francisco
branch dead letteroffice, the Department mean
while having in Us possession a plan for securing
the safe delivery ot such letters, which plan an
official letter bearing your signature, dated July.
21st, 1859/and,-addresScd to me, declares to.be
“ IngeDlouB'snd*sotoible,” and adds; “To a no
madic population year plan would bo admirably
adapted, and therefore, in the mining regions of
our Paoiflo possessions, its introduction would,no
doubt load to the delivery of many letters which'
now fall to reach their destination. ” lam utterly
at a lots to see how the Post Offioe Department oan
reconcile, with the duty its 1 owes the public, the
destruction of letters In the presence of plans where-'
by it is so explUllly admitted they wan be safety;
delivered.
if a postmaster was detected ©Sating into fire the
letters in ids offiofi, his indignant neighbors would
demand.bia ipsiant removal and pumsbitieht, and
yet he would only be committing, on a minor Halo,
the e*ampl* set by the Department To lender
the offence the mom marked, is the ftot &tt the

Did it, in its report, direct attention to themea*.
sore which, in duly, it declared 11 would no <Joobt
lead'to the delivery of many letters whioh now fail'
to reach their destination f” No', not' one Word *. ;
1c Department acknowledged my plan to
be “Ingenious andfeselbJo,”,yet, la December fol
lowing, it had no “praotioalsoggestioo* ” to make
to Congress, although it hoped soon to do so. lo
lirw hour those suggestions ha to not been made.
While admitting the measure admirably adapted
to the Pacific ooest, the Department, afjer an ejt*
parte hearing, declared to me that it was inappli
cable to the State of New York, and hence, it
seems, the people of the Paolflo coast are not to
enjoy its advantages. If a man would seriously
declare that because letters cannot be transported
by railway between Long Island and the main
land, that therefore there ahoold be so railway
transportation of letters in Pennsylvania, his au
ditors would listen to his opinion with surprise,
and hold it, with its author, in derision; yet this
man’s position with regard*'to letter transporta
tion, would be identioal in character with that
maintained by the Post Office Department in ire*
gard to letter delivery.
But the Department hiotos that the whole fabric
of its objections to. the plan as adapted to Now
York, demonstrated in my letter dated July
2d, 1859, to be founded os an utter misapprehen
sion of its working process in the Atlantic States,
and it is my convioiion that it Is to official neglect
to whioh to attribute the present shameful and in
famous destruction of letters. ,
Indeed, the Department is at this very moment
practically demonstrating that my devloe is appli
cable to the State of New York. The very device
itntk which I demonstrated its feasibility has
been seised’on and applied to making weekly re
turns of valuable letters. I will here remind you
that in June, 1859.1 alluded to the expenditure
of time, labor, and money I had made, and re
quested the Department would not do me the in
justice “ to credit some man more shrewd than ho
nest with my inventionB. ,, When I made that ap
peal, I tittle thought that the source I looked to
For protection would be the first to filch from me,
and that one grand sweep of my plans was not
made, is, 1 suppose, only due to the foot that too
many members of Congress were familiar with,
their general features, and an expose might have
ensued.
■ While I am gratified that a conception of mine
has tended to promoto the public good, I protest
ogaioss the aotlon of the department towards xnj
self as disreputable, and utterly unworthy a re*
speotable Qoreromeni.
In dosing this communication I have to state'
that about one million of letters sent to post offices
in California, Oregon, Ac., have been destroyed
during the period I have been urging the adoption
of my devico. during tbut period, postmasters of
Now York, Philadelphia, {Sacramento, do., do., as
well as Son&tors and .Representatives of California,
havo warmly eotomended 'and earnestly urged the
adoption t f toy conception.
On January 18th, JB5B, the Governor of Califor
nia, in a message specially in reference to the
measure, declared to tho Legislature of that Stato
his opinion as follows:
“In my opinion, the adoption of this scheme would
lessen very materially the number of dead letters which
are now destroyed every quarter, at San -Franoisco, and
eunUlo thousands, who are constantly ohanziof their
locations in the mining regions, to receive letters Lom
their friends on the Other mas oi the continent.
“ The number oi dead letters consumed every quarter
\n'San FrauQiftoo, amounts to some twenty-live thou
sand, A * suspended list,* suob as Mr. Woods proposes,
would certainly save a large proportion of those letters
from destruction, and at a very small expense to the
opinion, a printed description of the
Suspended Li«t was appended:

in addition to this, a gentleman who held a po
sition of high responsibility in the practiosl opera
tions of the postal service, and who, on tho Pacific
coast, had boon an eye-witness to the workings of
a devico wherowith, in 1858 and 1857,1 practically
demonstrated tho completo feasibility of* my pro
ject, has declared to me his opinion that, “sooner
or later, the measure must be adopted, in order to
perfect the postal system of this Government.”
With all this testimony in Its favor, it seems
hardly credible that the Post Office Department,
would continue to destroy letters confided to its
oare. Yeteuoh is thefaot, nevertheless; and no
member of that Department will, itx my presence,
before a committee of Congress, deny it.
The Department.is well awaro that I regard the
Pacific coast as an experimental field, in which to
demonstrate the publio utility of my project, it be
ing, in my opinion, applicable to every State qnd
Territory oj this Confederacy .
Time will tell hpw much longer so simple bu
effective an expedient for promoting a great publio
good must be urged before it is adopted. I trust,
owevor, that the period will soon arrive when the
Post office Department will view it to be a grateful
duty to adopt or suggest the legislation necenary
for the adoption cfTowible plans wherewith may
be enhanced the efficiency of the grand' service

Another is recorded.by Aenophon, in his Anaba

the cahturt by tk# Persians of a Medean oily which
he called Larissa, since identified aa the modern
Nimrod. The historian says: “"When the Persians
obtained the fcaplra'(of the East) from the
tho King of.the Persian* besieged the city (La

covered the sun, and caused it to disappear com

A third eclipse'ls mentioned by Diodorus, in his
history of a war between the Sicilians and Uartha
geniens, where he is deteriMag the escape of
Agathooles, the King of Sioiiy, from the harbor of
Syracuse, In wbioh nis fleet,was blockaded by a
superior fleet of the enSmy: “ There was such, ad
eclipse of the sun that the day wholly put on, the.
appearance of night, stars being seen everywhere.”'
Herodotus alluding to the same eclipse ebys:
'< With spring the army (ortho Persians) being
ready, set oat from Sardes on its march to Abydos;
and as U was setting oflt, the son, Reaving bis seat in
heaven, was invisible, whfcre there were no oltftids,
but a perfectly dear sky; and instead of day it be
came night. Xerxes, who saw thie and heard about
It, felt some anxiety, and Inquired of the Magi Wfcat
the appearance portended. They replied that the
deity prognosticated to. the Greeks the desertion of
theircities, saying that the tan was the prognostic*;
tor for the Greeks, the moon for the Persians. When
Xerxesbeard this he was very joyful, and proceeded’
on hismarch.” In the Philosophical Transactions of
tbeftoy al Society of London for 1853, Professor Airy
famishes a paper on this eclipse, in which be
boratcly examines the m&eni authorities, and
comes to the conclusion that the phenomenon men
tioned by these writers cannot be explained on the
theory of a solar eclipse, but that Herodotus, who
repeatedly expresses himself doubtfully on matters
of detail whion occurred during the movements of
Xerxes on the eastern ride of tho JSgean Bea, had
been misinformed, and that the phenomenon in
question was an eclipse of the moon; and not of the
sun. Sir John Malcolm, in his history of Peed*,
remarks: “ We are told by the Persian poetthat
ih x battle'which Was fought the Prince .mod his
army.were struck with asodden blindness, which
had been foretold by a magician.”

AN EXPLANATION *)V THJE ECLIPHC.
An of tfc« eon ie eeuted by the moon
passing between tho oacth.and tho vxa. An oolipso
of tho moon is caused by. the moon passing threagh
thh earth's shadow. Toe moon revolves round tne
earth once in about twehty'iiioe and a half days,
or,-from onenewmoos to another; oonseqaently,
the moon passes between the earth and sun once
daring eaon revolution of the moon' around the
earth, and also passes in opposition,- or is upon the
oppoaJte.slde pf the earth, from the tun, once
daring each revolution. Hence, if the moon's orbit
was m the same piano with the centre of the sut.
and earth, the moon would pass dlreetljr between
the oarth and son at every new moon, and at every
full moon the moon would pass directly through
the earth’s shadow, so that we should hare a great
eolipse of tho sun at every new moon, and a total
eclipse of the moon at every full moon. But the
moon's orbit makes an angle with the earth’s orbit
of paeven and a half degrees, so that at new moon
the moon is generally toe high or too low for her
shadow to strike the earth,' and at full moon the
moon generally passes above or the earth's
shadow, therefore no eolipse oaa' take place. The
least number of eclipses that can take plaoe in one
year Is two, both of the sun, the greatest number
seven. The usual number of eclipses in one year

history or ?nfc BCLirsß or to-day.
The first appearance of the eclipse .which wiU
take place to-day, since theoreation of the world—
according to sacred chronology—was In the year A.
D. 058. December Bth, old style, at ton o’clock
fifty minutes forenoon, when the moon’s penumbra
just came in contact with the earth at the south
pole. It haa appeared every nineteenth year
ainoe, and at. eaoh return the moon’s shadow
Sawed across the earth from west to east, a
ttle further to the north at eaoh return,
until the year 1844. Meroh Bth, old style, when the
oentreof the moon’s shadow pawed a little to the
north of the earth’s centre (the moon being four
teen minutes forty-six seconds from her descending
node, which was Us thirty<eighth periodical re
turn.) It has continued to appear every nineteenth
year ainoe 1844, until this eclipse, which is its sixty
first periodical return. Its next appearance wiU
bo in 1878, July 29, at three o’olock twenty-three
minutes, in the morning, invisible in tho United
States. It will also appear again in 1898, August
9th. It will continue to appear every nineteenth
year until the year 2274, April 25th, when the
moon’s shadow will just touch the earth at the
north pole, which will be its seventy-sixth periodi
cal ana last appearance, until the expiration of
twelve thousand. four hundred and ninety-two
yoars, when it will oomo on again at the Bouth
pole, and go through a similar course. The ve
locity of the moon's shadow across tho eclipse will
be about one thousand eight hundred nod fifty
miles an hour, or four times the velocity of a
cannon-ball.
WHERE TRB ECLIPSE OP TO-DAY WILL DC VISIBLE.
The penumbra, or partial shadow of tho moon,
will first come In contact with the earth at the
rising of tho sun in the northern part of Texes,
between the Indian Territory and New Mexico.
It will then take a northeasterly, and then a
southeasterly course over the earth. The umbra,
or total dark shadow of the moon, will first come in
oontaot|with the earth in|the Pacific Ocean, one hun
dred miles west of the coast of Oregon, directly west
of Oregon OUy, and a little to the southwest of the
mouth of Columbia River. It will then pass in a
northeasterly direction over British America to
Hudson’s Bay, near Port York, at the mouth of
NelAon’s River,crossing Hudson’s Bay and Labrador
to Cape Ohidley, whioh will be the moat favorable
positfon on the continent for observing tho total
eclipse. It wiU then enter the Atlando Ocean,
passing due oast until nearly south of Cape .Paro
wellj, the southern cape of Greenland, whoro tho
son will' Ve totally eclipsed at noon of that
place It will then take a ourvod lino towards
the southeast, passing over the north of Spain, the
Mediterranean Sea, Algiers, Tripoli; Eessan, the
southwestern corner of Egypt, into Nubia, where
it will leavo the earth near the' Red Sea, a little
before the sotting of the sun at that place. The
path of the umbra, in which the sun will be totally
eclipsed, will be only about seventy miles in width,
whereas the penumbra* in whloh the sun will ap
pear more or less eclipsed, will extend from the
Gulf ofMextoo to twenty degrees upon the opposite
side of the North Pole, a distance of over six
thousand miles. The umbra, in its passage over
tho earth, makes a .curved lice ; this is caused by
the spherical form of. theoarth. If tho earth wero
a flat surface, the pathof the umbra would then
be a straight linefrom. north west to southeast,
making an angle with the oquator of seventeen
’ degrees. At au plaoes south of the line of total
eclipse, the eun’s northern limb will bo eolipsed;
but in Europe, England, Ireland, lc
eland, and the northern part cf British Amerioa,
the southern limb will be eclipsed.

A BXQDSST TO ABTBOHOMBRS.
It will bo. remembered that lieverrier has re*
quested the co-operat on of observers In a thorough
examination of the* regions in the close neighbor'
hood of the sun, daring the three or four minutes of
total obscuration in the present eelW. with a view
to the discovery of asteroids, which nia theory of
planetary perturtations assigns to those spaces.
In- case .the observations are snoeearihl, we may
look for reports of great interest on this aubjeo t.
