The Fky wnsenttnlv c ear mini I P ii when a 'lew masses of cumtilous i loads showed tltemelvis over; the mountains to ward the notlh and westward. Wit fi. these exceptions the sky was perfect and the ntmoRphWiccnridiiion ot the mof atiraTile"cIiarcter1lor toe 'sno cesslnl observation of the eclipse. The housetop- were thrnnge I, the higher tin 1 linu; being especia-ly in demand, as Irom them the approach nt the lark shadow nl totality could be seen as it swept onward over the pliin. The time of the firs' contact wa 2:20 Denver time, and lOmiiiuies later the presence nt the moon al the edge of the sun' disc was pldnly perceptible to ordinary observer with smoked cliss. 'Bv 3 n'cinck the sun linht had moderated in a marked ibgree, shnw- ini! a pale yellow col r. Liter on n lurid irlarj overspread the earth. The heitot the sun was no longer oppres sive and a light similar lo twilight wis shown in the hnriz n and the ligh' tl cks ii clouds lii-nm slowly to ills solie owini; to the ch:inse m the tern peralure. As the period ol totality came on the sight from an elevated suit inn was grand. An extreme ilsik shadow lei on Long's peak 75 mi e distant, and sweeping rapidly Buil'h eagiwHrd covered the pliin like a griy pall. To the northeastward ihe clouds could be seen ha bed in sunlight anil p esetiting the view ot it beaut llul sun.' se .

I'rt.t Ynunir reported that he disc vered no ultra red or tl Ira-violet lines, hut that ai be mom nt ot 10 allty all iiaitnsrholer lines were beiu'iful y rev.ried. Venus wa the m isi imponaiit result of his nbsei vatinn, and confirms the observa tions made in Si. 1111. B th the II lines were also reversed.

Prof Coldnight re ports thai his nl s-rvHiitms tend to -how that the moon's path in the heav. ens lay a little further to the snuth tard than imlicaied by ihe lunar la lids, or else that the tS'iiiiMe ot the moon's diameter was too la'ge, pel" Ii ips bot'.i.

The cromosphcre was disliiidly si-ell by P10I Il'-ugh, tuilicaliug a thtcktiesB ot some 2.000 111 les. The pro-uberauces were much 1-s.s promimnl than at tnostof -lie recent eclipses. Two rath rjixl' ones were seen on the Wisteiu lite ot the moon Mr Thouas bl-n saw lines 147 4, but did not discover any new ones.

Mr W R Duub.ir returned Irom th front on Monday last, and reports, as the oi iniim ot many,&ihnt the Indl-m war is about- over. His siory iu rela lion to the kilting nl Eg.in, the Mal heur chief, is somewhat different irom tbatw- publish elsewhere. Ii ap, pears that a pirtyol Umatilla "Indians learning that a reward ol $1,000 had been offered tor Egaii's hea-f, conclud ed :o go and get it. They sent a courier to E in l-lling him that they vtcre anxious to join him and wished to enter wbh a lmice for that purpose. Ean, eagei for their support, al owed himself with some twenty ot his wai? riors to be led -into an ambush, when the'Umailllts raised theory, the Sol diers are cor.tiug run! The result wa ih..i E'an an i his imn ran into the anibii-h an I nearly all of them wete k 1'ed Egau among the number. Mi Dunhar assisted in doing guinl duty at Weton and Petidl-ion, and rer turned towards his home when he loitiid that his services were no longer need ed. B-fore he returns to the va'l-y, he will visit his brother and sister over iu the Khckilal country. Indian Signal Fiuks. It is gpn 'r a'ly known ilia' ihe Indians have a system ol signal fires by which they can telegraph news over a long dis taiice in an-iiictedibly shnrt time. In-Kiant-es can bi1 mn'tiplied wherein di tinl In Hans have been in knol-dgH ot tuiioitant (acts long htfoie the whites were infotmed. A friend just in In m the hostile cmntry tells us he has seen lliis primitive means of car ryiug news employed several limes within ihe last t-w months. Every .ime there is n movement of troops from one point to another tlie sign! firts are lit, and a duskv courier fol lows at the 1 mil ot hnmfl sh to tell the partii-nltrs. But being inlr.rmed ot the danger a chief can pasily avoid a surpii'e or a hai 1-, until the arm 1 of the iioreman while the information ol the number ot soldi-is, etc., that are moving against him. It was a tire bit of good luck, and a remarka b'e cas? ol can l-fness upon the putt of the spies, ihat B-rnard recently sur. ni-ed the Indians when they had no knowledge of him whatever. Though primitive, ihe sigu,il fire, in the hainh t the red m in, il as v.iluilile as our boasted evidence of civilfzaliou tin telegraph. Reno Jonrnn. I The D.-mocr.itio Congress, in its f lort to mauuMicture political buncombe on the score nt econnny, cut down the M ilhi-ltr agenov, Pllttesanil Snakes, Imm 50,0011 in 1873, and $40,000 iu 1874-5 0. to 25,000 in 1870, and 820.- 000 iu 187'. so that the Indians ba been starving to death, necessitaiinj a resort to fighting as a preleiahle way 01 dying. At TJinitilh, Fort If 1 and L-mhi. the asmri niggardly appro priitious were mide, while tlie cmi -i y is also fast settling up to oxclude ihe Indians Imm st-cuiiug game and roots. Added to this starvation into fighting, the army has also been cut. down to an insignificant lorce to pro tect the settlers by killing off the In di n, thus driven ii to bos lity. It the Indians are to be coop d up on reservations, they should he fed, for even murdere.s, robbers and other criminals are ted. The cry agamsi Indian Agency extortion and oppres sion, ciiinol be any longer set up lis cause nt the troubles, especially whpre the figures show-that five cmi is a day is iii-ullicient to board t.nd clothe a be.iUhy Iiidiiu. Dipn't Like Blondes. The cruelty ol which a Wisconsin wiln complains in her suit for nvi.rce, is that her hus band tied her securely and shaved her head. The defense is that -he I leach eil her black hiir to 1 mon color by the use ol acid. and thi' he deeming such a ihitig highly scandal oi, took the o ly mean nl undoing what she had none, lie savs that he bonght a wig lor berjimmitating her nattiml hair, so thai her bare head might b3 concealed while nature was remedying the dis figuration.

A new dinger Uneaten, and 'terrij Ii s thi Democratic p-trty in South Carolina. It is Well known thai a great majority ot the voters ol that- state are colored. Great efforts have been ruide lo uirry idem over lo the Democratic pirly; and now it is said they are jo.ning ihat parly in such numbers ihit ltiire is every pros-' pect that the whi'e element will be stamped by the. new negro converts. That would bit the dom-uanon ot a negro nnjoriiy quite as ga ling and odi'jus us it the colored- volets W'-ra massed in the opposite party.

A Mortgage. In the whole range of saiTud and profane litera ture, pcrhuis there is nothing .re corded which lias such staying qualities as a good healthy niott gage. A mortgage can bo depend ed upon to stick closer than a broth er. It has u mission to pet form which novor lets up. Day after .lay it is right there, nor does the slightest tendency to slumber im pair Us vigor iu the night. Night and da, on the Sabbath, and at holiday times, without a moment's time for rest and rcceutmit, tlio offspring of its existence, interest goes on. The sea ions mty change, days run inti weeks, weeks into mouths, and montli3 ma- be swallowed up into the gray man of advancing years, but that mortgage stands up in sleeple vigilance, with tlie interest a pcr rennial stream ceaselessly running on. Like a huge nightmare eat ing out the sleep of some restless slumberer, the unpaid mortgage rears up its gaunt trout in perpetu al torment to the miserable- weight who is held within its pitiless clutch. It holds the poor victims with the relentless grtsp of a giant; not one hour of recreation, not a moment's evasion of its hidious presence. A genial savage of mod ifying aspect while the tnteiest is paid; a very devil of hopejess.de Btruction when the payments' fail."' '
