A WaDderer.
Yesterday afternoon one of the Mayor's

about fortyrilve years of age, who gave
her name as Mrs. Frank. Anderson. She
said Cincinnati was her home, which she
had left ten days ago. She bad no
friends or acquaintances in this city, and
cotild not explain the object of her . visit
here. Upon further conversation It be
came evident that the woman was de.

she wilt be sent bank to Cincinnati.
Malicious Boy.
• Thomas Ferry was before Mayor
Brush yesterday, for malletous'eendaeL
The boy was employed as a "pester and
folder" in the Diva/a aloe, and every
,evening was furnished • with wrappers
in which it was hie duty to enclose the
papers to be sent away. Instead of do
log this. however it seems he has been
accustomed to shirk his labor by tearing
up the wrapper'. and throwing them
away. It was, several days before the
w
fact became known,hich only came to
light through the complanta of subscri
bers at not receiving their papers. The
boy wati looked:hp for several hours, and

nemena to be Witnessed—Wale the
Astronomers Hope to De—TheEclipse
at PitpMarsh. •
An eclipse of the sun will occur to
morrow, which will be vielbleld all earts
of the United States, unless where the
sky may be clouded, and will be total to
a large extent of territory, the total
phase extending over a belt of about one
hundred and fifty.six miles in breadth,
and stretching very nearly half way
around the globe, or about. 12,100 miles.
The area of the belt of total eelipse will,
therefore, be in the neighborhood of
2,000,000 square miles.
So important an eclipse is very - rare.
There has been no total eclipse l visible in
the Unltei States since the year 1834, and
.
none will be visible during the present
century after this year. The event will,
therefore, be witnessed With great in
,
terest by astronomers, and 'extensive
.1
preparations are .made for observing it
under the most favorWble.circuaistatteee.
Most of. our - Professional astronomers
will take pmltion, at different points
along the path of the umbra' (the total
elipae), and many thousands of amateurs
will witness the interesting phenomena
with more or lees :of intelhgence, but
with an absorbing interat In every cage.

and the rain is usually of a drizzly char

places where the sky is clear, the air
may be expected to cool off somewhat
previous to the observed time of contact,
and the animals show their premoni
tion of the unusual event by various
strange motions. During the totality of
the eclipse fowls have been observed to
go to roost, and birds of the air to fall to
the earth as if struck by a stone, doubt
less from fright at the sudden change;
while beasts have become perfectly pan
ic-stricken, and manifested the most ab

in places - where the eclipse is total
(and visible) the sky will ow gradual.

invested with a weird black or copper
color, and the moon's edge will -be
marked by a pale circlet, which was
lbrmerly thought to be 'due to the pas
sage of the solar rays through her at
mosphere, but is now known to belong
to the solar body. The latter is called'
the "corona "or crown, from its re
semblance to the halo often represented
in pictures around the heads of saints.
HOPES OP THE ASTBONOSIZES.
Astronomers will look with much anx
iety for other worlds, as yet unseen' by
mortal vision. It was announced some
ten years ago that certain observed chan
ges in the position of the orbit of Mercu
ry were probably due to the attraction of
a number of smaller bodies revolving in
an orbit between him and the sun. The
causes which prevent Mercury from
being seen operate still more disadvanta
geously in regard to these interior planets
(if sued theisebe) and there is no hope
of gazing upon them other than with the
eve of faith, except at the time of a total
eclipse. The ligtit of the Jinn being then
cut off by the interpositionof the moon's
body, it is quite possible that the exis
tence of these now-hypothetical worlds
will be revealed through the telescope.
It is thought probable that there are slant
four of these bodies, but their number
may be elegton."
This really is the point of greatest ire
terest; and if the number of these bodies
be but mall, some of them will proba
bly be visible to the naked eye during
the time of total eclipse, while those who
possess a telescope of moderate magnify.
log power will do well to look out for
0
them and node as accurately as possible
I
the position With respect to the sun and
fixed stars.
The search for new planets will be a
, now brands of investigation during a
solar eclipse; but their is also a problem,
partially solved, to which many astron
omers will bend all their energies. The
I light of the eon has been subjected to
chemical scrutiny and compared with the
light produce() by the harping of a num
ber of substances wide which we are
familiar- ee entering Into a composition
of thee. rth'a crust. The experimenters
have already seen enough to-warrant the
conclusion that many of the soendled
echemical elements" exist in the san's
atmosphere, and hence consider it prob
able that the earth; sun, moon, and , all
the planetary bodies and comets coca
prising what is known as the solar aye
tern, have been formed out of the name
eleraeuts- But it 15 a very difficult matter
to deal with the full volume of solar
Light in making these experiments, and
astronomers, emcee:me & wait anxiously
tbr the opportunity of, examining it in
small portions. kis- not too mach to
expect that the question of the solae con
stitution will be definitely settled by
means ofethe obsenatious made on the
coming eclipse.

The eclipse will be total to a section oft

to year, commencing with the Commit
tee who had charge of the construction
of the City Hall, they intending to do it,
but handing it over to their successors.
Since that time two or three efforts
have been de in the same direction,
but, from trivial objections as to how it
should be done—all agreeing that it
should be done—it was laid over and lost
sight of. I hope the proper Committee, or
some public spirited, energetic member
of the Councils, will push the matter and
get the authority from Councils to go on
with the wolk. The delight that our
citizens take in the Improvement of our
Commons shows how mach pleasure can
be given by a little adornment, grass,
trees, and running water. Had these im
,provetnents been made uponthe comple-,
tion of the City Hall, as they should have
been, - to-day the shade 'or (he- trees. •
would be grateful - to Malty. - passer:by.,
The improvement of .
.;this square, may
seem a small matter, bid the comforts of
Ilte are Made rin of small things, and it
'fivottld be wellif our municipal authori
ties were more alive to the importance of
small comfortathan they are.. This
iuovement will coat but a small amount
of money; let it be done at once.
Breezei from Soho.
Soho must be a delightfully Cool place
these warm days. Wv don't know Irby
it should be paiiioxilirly go, bill Ceriaind
ly it must, or how could its denizens
endure the exertions and excitements to
which life in that locality is , subjected.
Row for instance could Michael Murphy
gather sufficient strength and nerve to
choke Mrs. Rosanna Shaffer until she be
came black and blue, as he is said to
have done; and then follow up this ex
hiliarating exercise by exhausting the
vocabulary of the mingled Irlsh-Eriglish
langnarge in the - search alter vile epi
thets with which to describe her charac
ter, and finally wind up the exciting
entertainment by threatening to remove
her quickly from participation in
terrestrial scenes. Uertainly there
mast have ,been something in
Michael's surroundings to enable hbit to
survive this exertion, end Mrs'. Shaffer
must have been equally strengthened
when she was enabled to survive this
severe ordeal, and afterwards make her
appearance at Alderman Strain's office,
to acquaint that official with the transac
tion. Under the circumstances, it is no
surprise that the magisterial curiosity
was excited, and that one of bis deputies
was - instructed to invite Michael to call
upon him at his earliest convenience.
