The solar eclipse was a success for the favans yesterday. The obscuration of the great luminary camo off on the day and at the time calculated, It was observed in Eagland— imperfectly in the southern districts of the country, but more advantageonsly to the northward and at Wick. ‘The facts and latest reports have been telegraphed to us, and appear in our columns this moraing. We are happy when the Heratp is enabled to cor- roborate science and vindicate the eternity and harmonies of the great natural law, as we did fn the case of the meteoric display some fuw years since, against the di of Professor Noomis, That was a really painful occasion for us, but we were forced, as our readers yomember very well, to martyr our own feel- | ings in defence of the stars and against the darkness of New Ensland philosophy. flid so, and, as we believe, with a really excel- ent effect. The men of science have been more and moro careful ever since. Eclipses and meteors, and comets and earthquakes, nd volcanoes, advance and revolve, and womble and groan, and upheave with much greater regularity. We have hope, indeed, that when the Heraxp ultimately reaches the Himits of its circulation, from India to the ‘ole, and from the Fiji to the Giant's Cause- ‘ay, the penple of the Earth will be so accu- yately informed as to the approach of these ind such like wonderful convulsions of nature hat they may be enabled to get out of the way in due season; or, should they suffer from want of the exercise of a well timed wigilance, that they will duly proclaim ‘no plame to the driver;” whether it be Phaeton ‘olling the chariot of old Sol or electricity ropelling from below—a subtle spirit , ehanting the De Profundis. Canada, as will be seen, did not sympathize Bargely with the eclipse. It may be that the tpeople of the Dominion have had quite enough pf that sort of thing politically, and, as they prave just now commenced to freeze in for the ‘vinter, did not care particularly to be left in he dark as well as ont in the cold. The [British colonists appear to be determined to talk about something “big” notwithstanding ; Bo off they went yesterday morning on the subject of the advent of a tidal wave and an jearthquake. Doctor Smallwood—‘“Pheebus, fwhat a name,” under the circumstances !— mployed himself ‘‘all day”—so the despatch ays—“‘taking observations; but there were mo signs of electric or other disturbances” at aan In Quebec and at St. Johns, iNew Brunswick, they were on the alert fora Ytidal wave, but were not visited by any such thing. In truth, ithe tide was lower than jusual, which 1s just what we should have ex- Ypected in British America: ‘‘about these times.” \ Canada must be content with snow storms for LS A county, Kansas, jthe present. The ‘other disturbances” which (Doctor Smallwood expected to experionce at ‘Montreal may have reference to the Fenians, ‘The Fenians were not on handeither. Indeed, ‘thelearned Doctor and the Canadians gene- rally need not expect a visitation of the Irish Bunburst meteor before the time we now pre- ict—a few weeks previous to or a few weeks ‘after the next American Presidential election.

We refer “go the Union Home and School for Soldiers’ ‘and Sailors’ Orphans and the fair that is now open at the armory of the Seventy-first regi- ment, Broadway and Thirty-fifth street, for this charitable and excellent institution. This institution needs assistance, and the fair ‘was projected for the purpose of affording that. But up to this time the fair has not been as successful as the friends of it and con- ‘ributors to it expected. Perhaps the number of fairs that have been held in the city lately for other charitable objects, nearly all of which fhave realized large sums of money, have eaused this to be forgotten to some extent. But what objec’ can be more worthy than this? What can appeal more earnestiy to the Benevolence and piiriotism of our citizens? Whe lite ones at the Home at Cari ansville are the nation’s orphans, are the bereaved pbildren of those who fonght and died for the nion, Let it not be said that they have been neglected. A number of ladies and gen- Hemen have contributed valuable and curious grticles for the fair, Ainong the contributions fs a fine landscape painting from Mr, Bierstadt. Whe fair will be open only a few days longer. Who will not remember at this season of the year, when all hearts are open to generous motions and all hands bestow liberally, the orphans of the nation, the fatherless and motherless children of the heroes who died in ‘de‘eace of our glorious country ?

But the end is mot yet. At the latest accounts Butier county may be said to be in a state of quasi-rebellion. Shall we ever cease hearing of these acts of fawlessness in the once bleeding but now tbloody Kansas? A Hint ro Mr, Brra.—The verdict of the jury against the society of which the humane and useful citizen Bergh is President ought to warn that eificient gentleman that he should employ competent persons to carry out the law. A good head tog depariment is of very litile use if the subordinates be stupid yvaud ignorant.

Profiting by the license given to the Mercantile Library Company through a special act of the Logislature other enterprises of a similar character are springing up all over the State. Tho manager and agent of one recently came to grief in San Francisco by being arrested for violating the laws of the State against gambling. Their defence is that the special act for the benefit of the Mercantile Library | abolished all laws upon the subject; and so the case stands until the Grand Jury can act upon it, The republican party is trying to make apital out of it by charging Governor Haight with having signed the bill whereby permission was given to the Library Company to inaugurate a gift enterprise—this in the face of the fact that the president of the company, the vice presilent and a majority of the trustees were republicans, Verily the repub- lican party in California must be in a desperate coadition when they can see so much that is | black about Governor Haight and so little that is dark about those of thelr own way of thinking. Napo gon insists upon it that it was not the Emperor but the French people who rushed France into the war with Germany, and that he could not resist their cry of ‘‘On to Bull Run,” or ‘On to Berlin,” which is the same thing. Very well. The Emperor has paid for his folly, and the French people have got more than they bargained for. When they get through they will he wiser than they were last July.
