The regointion to surrender the pecullarities of oyr own ays: tem and accept the only conditions under whieh tt was possible to make te match cannot be estimated too highly. At the same time the Hare vards made a great concession in taking a cox- awaln; and the boldness with which they challenged the Oxfords on thelr own grounds deserves sym- pathy and admiration.” The writer concludes by hoping that the treatment of the American boatmen during this visit will be such as to encourage its repetition. ‘Th Harvard boat was out for practice at Putney yesterday with Lyman and Faye, the reilels, who lately arrived from New York.

Although the authoress of this work doos bring to life again and make a pious convert to Christianity of Agrippina, after her son Nero, as our histories teach us to beliove, had caused her to be murdered, we cannot say but that she las written a very good story. Tobe made familiar with the social lives of such distinguished mortals as Agrippa l., grandson of Herod; Bernice, his daughter; Nerd, Vespasian, Titus, St. Paul the Apoatie—not to mention otner personages of hardly lesa mote tn Roman history—ts A something too important to be resected. Of course we are too polite to inaiat with a lady that the death of Agnippins t# a recorded trusn.

Such ts the fact, however, and she is the traditional girt who finds herself suddenty planged into poverty by the death of her father, and ts forced to depend upon her labor fora livelihood, A thorough and en- thusiastic musician, sho teaches music for a living, meets up with the inevitable wicked ung lady, re markably beautiful, who, of course, fascinates ‘Syd- ney’s lover, Will Cameron, and seduces that gen- tleman from his allegiance tu hia true love.

As a wind up, Meta, who seems: to have acted throughout in a spirit of pure malit- jess (and very reprehensible it was), ts right- thrown into a dectipe. She repents (they al- ways do that, sweet things) before dying, confesses her sina and iniquities to Sydney, is very naturally forgiven, and the story winds up with ‘fag mar- ryng the heroine, who has by this time become an autnoress, but has not lost “her delicacy and re- serve;!’ trom which we are to conciude that she ia not a strong-minded woman. Since the marr cor. emony was concluded the pair have lived very happi- ly together, as we are delighted to [earn, They have added many children to the Popuea of the nation, and their lives have “flowed in one catm, unbroken stream”—something dreadfully monotonous, we opine; but some people like the idea, ts poctical. In rendering our critical judgment wo unhesitw ungly deolare that ‘sydney Ettott” ts @ love of a novel, It is true there are almost too many dia- jognes about literary aud musical matters, and a od many of the Sad, torae are decidedly forced.

Several hundreds of thousands of lovesick, romantic and sympathetic girls will read this latest form of their ideal and promptly pronounce it mag- Bidet, We lave vot the sliguieat doubt about that.

Professor Pearce, of Harvard, had charge of the observations, which wore miato near the city reser- volr, One hundred photographs of the eclipse were taken by Mr. Black, of Boston. When the total obscuration took plage the heavens and the earth presented a scone of awful subiimity. A bril- Mant amber coloréd corona appeared around the sun and “moon, shooting rays of light outward in all directions, when the whole horizon was ilumtuated with a light of tho same oolor. ‘Tne planets Mercury and Venus and a number of fixed stars were distinctly visible, but no planct orbs between Mercury and the sun were discovered. Abrilliant rose-colored flame or protuberance was noticed on the western limb of the enn during the’peried of total obscuration. The plenomenoa «know as “Batloy’s Boads” was also distinctly witnessed, This phenomenon, Professor Pearce thinks, is occasioned by the refraction of Ught, He ts also satusited that the corona or halo at the time of the total obscuration was occasioned by the sun's atmosphere. At Mattoon observations were made by Professors G. W, Hough, of Dudley Observatory, Albany, N. Y.; David Murray, of Rutgors College, New Brunswick, N. J., and othora, ‘The instruments made use of were the ordinary tolescopes. One of them, how- ever, was provided with means for accurately mea- suring the diversions of the protuberances on the sun, and the corona or surrounding halo. A chrono- graph was employed to note accurately the time of the differcnt phenomena. ‘The time was obtained by tegrephic communication with Dudley Observatory, at Alvany, N.Y. At ten minutes and fifteen seconds past fonr the eclipse commenced, the moon's tirat con tact with the aun @ocurriag when the former was nine- teen degrees south of the solar equator. On the west side the thermometer, which a tew moments before had rison to 104 degrees, began to fall rapidly. At eleven minutas and seventeen seconds past tive o'ciook the sun became totally obscured. The darkness Was oqual to that of s moonlight night, and the temperature was forty-two degrees cooler than one ovr bofore. The eclipse ended at nine minutes and twenty-two seconds past six o'clock. In the observations taken the phenomena ocorre- sponded precisely with the computations previously made, @ix spola were visible on the surface of the aun before the oclipse, ®vO of which were very promi- nent and the others much less. The cusps on the moon had @ ragged and viurred appearance. As the eclipse progrossed towards totality the form of the moou became visible, Near the cusps of the phe- nomenon of ‘olality “Bailey's Beads” were seen dis- tinctly by af the observers, exiending through “mn aro of a8 least fiity degrees. The moment the eclipse became total the fMaime-like protuberances were seen with wonderful distinctness, one very large on the lower Ub of the sun, and three nearly as large ov the uppor limb, while at least seven or eight of thom ta all were visible, Tho one on the right hand or lower limb had somewhat the appear- ance of a fall-rigged ship with sails set, 1p Its part nearest the moon were two or three let-black spots. To the paked.eye it seemed as though there were oon, two on the east side, and one side. Just after the total eclipse through the openings tue lurid glow of the sun was distinctly vigivie. The corona was not, as generally described tn books, &c., @ halo of light sur- rounding the moon; but was distinctly seen in the shape of a@five-pointed prong on the lower, and two prongs on the upper circumference of the moon, These points presented a radiant appoar- ance. The generally received theory regarding this corona, that it is the atmosphere of, {be san, docs not seem to be sustained by observations mado at this point, It is conjectured that the corona is in some way cuused by the phenomenon of light passing through the atmosphere. Although search was made, No planetary bodies were observed between Mereuty and the sup. During tue totality phase Mercury, Venus, Reguins, Mars, Saturn, Denebata and othor stara were visible. The tempera- ture in the shade at the beginning of the eclipse was seventy-seven degrees; during totality, forty-five de- grees, and at the end of the eclipso it had risen to seventy degrees, At 3:40, in the aun, on the grass, the thermometer was at 100 degrees. & fow minutes atter four o'clock {it rose to 102 degrees, walle during the total eclipse it fell to sixty degrces, but anbse- quently rose to eighty degrees.

Ganniso: N. ¥., Augast 7, 1469. Impationce ts 4 quality most largely developed ia American character. It ta exemplified in every de- partment of industry and enterprise, and enters par- teularly into the execution of measures which the Public mind by @ sort of intuition has invested with tta own judgmont of right, During the late war we saw this peculiarity strongiz exhibited, and not always tn the spirit of toleration or discretion. The success of military operations waa frequently tmpatred and often entirety frus- trated by the popular clamor for action. There tsa certain logio of events which must be reasoned out the same in effect as in the developments of an argu- ment, This clamorous spirit, never sattsied with the steady progress of affairs, nas now fastened itgelf upon questions of public administration, and assumes to prescribe the time and manuer of carry- ing out @ governmental policy, without watting to seo it naturally unfold itself by the regular degrees of development to meet as they come along the emergencies for which such policy was designed. Wo have an instance of this state of the popuiar mind on the question of Cuba and Spain, and after all that has been said on the subject the administra- tion understands perfectly its duty and responst- bility and 14 determined not to be swerved from tt, ‘The public, with their usual impationce, have had a great deal to say in criticism in regard to tho mea- sures which were tnaugarated towards the patriota of Caba, and in the obaervance of which the govern- mont designed nothing more than the fuldiment of iia ralernational obligations of neutrality towards ¢ DAtiON with witch it hag friendly relations, even if 6 did not feet a sympathy. The outbreak in Cuba waa another Instance of the moral influence establishod by the United States, Spanish misrule aud opprea- ston in St. Domingo resulted in the overthrow of Castiltan gupremeny there, and the same haa been the cage with nearly all the Spanish colonies on this hemiaphere, The action of Cubs was nota- ing more, tm assuming an attitude of rebel- lion, than following im the steps of Spain's other colonies, and the American ple naturally sympathized with the patriots displayed that sympathy in expressions of popular will and the hope that Cuba might be free. The people even went further, and gave material assistance in men and money and otner means of prosecuting the dispoasession of Spatn in the dominton of an exten- sive, fertile and vainabie island, rich in physical ro- sources, and at the same time by geographical posi- tton controlling that inland sea, the Guif of Mexico, washing @ thousand miles of United States territory, from Fiorida to the Rio Grande. In the popular sympathy the people only acted as all their Tnstincts promptos thom, and in this the Cee and I can say the President and all his iabinet ministers, were & hoarty concordance. Lut whulé the people were responsible for nothing the overnment was held bound by every iuw reguiat- iz the amicable relations between nations at peace, and could not, without a gross violation of these ob- lgations, act otherwise than observe a rigid neutral- iy towards both the recognised belligerent attitude of Spain and the hostile forces of Cuba, The atate of thi ‘was perfectly plain to the Seoretary of State, Mr. Fish; but, as the hvad of the administration, he had a higher obiigation than mere perenty feeling ana sympathy. In his oMectal capacity he was compelled to observe the question from an international standpoint, and in doing a0 was involved the honor, integrity aud reputation of tie adminisrration and the country. In preservin, these he was as much rexponsible as the i’residet nunaelf, for it was with him directly w putin force the policy of the President as tho head of the nation. The question was frequentiy before the Cabinet and discussed ta ail ile bearings; the President expresso hia views, the Cabinot ministers expressed theirs, and there waa a una- nimity of sympathy diMeuit to overcome in inaugu- rating andenforcing a discreet and lonost national Policy. To violate our international obligations, chus inyelyine the country ia a war, would have doen a steo of doubtful sagacity or statesmanship, and it 1s not clear that the reputation of the country abroad would have peen much benefited. Tne policy of the government waa thorcfore dt- ected in the channel ‘of non-tnterveution in the struggic as regarded elther side, and that bas and will be the pales unill the provisional governmept of the patriots of Cuba manifests signs of a national existence, At prosent the struggie on the part of the patriots is confined to the mountata sections of the tnterlor, and, although their operations give continued evidences of increasing strengia, they are not in aa altitude of a regular governmental estad- lishment, ‘the Spanish forces have been driven to ihe coast towns. The last of the tnierior cities, Puerto Principe, ts closely invested. Let this piace jail and Nuevitas is open to the patriots. They will then Dave an ocean port and will then bo abie to bold intercourse with tne outer world; have & harbor for thet ships and be able to send their flag and eva accredited representatives to mw tions in sympathy with their cause, This will con- stitute the first step, and there is little doubt will meet with a suitable response. In the inception of the struggle Mr, Fish took hold of the question, and ram as were his personal feelings ia favor ot Cuba he felt ifis equal obligation as a high officer of the government towards Spain. Upon tho arrival of Mr. Lopes Roberts at Washington as the accred- ited représentative of the indefinabie government of Spain that gentleman called at once upon tho Secretary of State, and a lengthy interview was bad covering the whole question of Spain and Cuba. Mr, Roberts made various propositions, and tn hts enthusiasm asked some things unnecessary and even beyond what might be expected of a strong: and independent nation. Mr. fish responded that the United States govern- ment had already made up its mind what course it would pursue in the struggle, and that tt should continue to preserve @ Sirict neutrality, That he must understand that both the government and the people of the United States were ia sympathy with the movement of the people of Cah tit the government in the face of tus and against ite personal feelings had taken a stand which it would sustain, and it would preserve towards Spain the aame rule ua it would towards Cuba; that the United States would not interfere in the contest, ex- cept tuat the harbors and rivers of the United states should not be used in which to fit out hostile expedi- tions, and that measures would be taken to stop ali wach violations of the neutrality laws, The Secretary platuly told Mr. Roberts that the tendency of ail the Isiands and countries lying adjacent Lo the United Siates was iowerds a uplice- ton With our system and whatever might be the re- sult of the present struggle Cuba, for instance, would sooner or later come under the authority and coustitite part of the government of the United Statos; that he did not think this was to be accom- plishod in # day or in a year, but the result was inevi- table; that tae time would come when the United Staieg would Sng ios interest and security to inke possession of these countries if necewary and organize them into permapent conimitniiles under a secure form of goverumenut aud surrounded by republican institutions. At such time as the conve- nience of the United States dictated thin policy would be enforced. Aft present, however, the gov- <a pro) Wo adhore to its neutrality. Although tie Spanish Minister did not fail to.take the soagestion from the Secretary that whe United states Was then acting in the interests of spain and against its own sympathies, which migat some time take a turn, it ap) ho inaugurated himself a violation of that vory neutrality which be exacted from the United States government in fe- pressing all efforts on the part of certain individuals to send aid to Cuba. Though the phy ped Was periectly cognizant of the building 4 fleet of gunbouts in American waters, tt hed no onicial Knowledge of the fact nor the uses to witch 1t was to be put anti! recently. Whea oMctal inquiry Was made as to the future employment of these ves- wols, which i},was known were not for the (pited States service, 1 was first learned as aa offictal fact that they were being constructed under contracts between the builders and the Spanish governinent, through their representatives. ‘he Spanish Minia- ter had asked neutrality and he had received it, He responded to this act of kindness towards Spain by attompting to fit out a deet iu Americen waters, Mr, ish sent lor Mr. Roberts, wao filed jo appear.

But I do not propose to tet those thirty gunboats leave; and if they do leave, except with authority, I will sead after them @ force which may be somewhat surprising.’ It was quite evident in the Seocretary’s menpor that he sees the question sesumning a tangible shape.
