A toial eclipse of the sun occurs on the 6th of May, that presents features of special interest. It is greatly to be regretted that this sublime and awe-inspiring phenomenon marks its path over a portion of the globe where there are so few to witness it. The line of totality lies entirely in the South Pacific Ocean, and as ingeniously avoids habitable land as if its purpose were to con- fine the spectacle to the smallest possible number of spectators. There are, however, within the narrow part of obscuration, two eligible points where the eclipse may be seen to great ud- ~vantage. These points are two small islands, named Caroline Island and Flint Island. Caroline Island the larger of the two, is about ten miles in circumference, and was, when visited in 1874, inhabited by a few natives and an Englishman. It is situated in 73° 20' west fon itude from Washington, and 0° 40’ south titudc. It does not belong to the group known as the Caroline Islands, situated further west. The duration of totality in Carolina Island will be five minutes twenty seconds. Flint Island is five or six miles in circum- ference and i5 uninhabited. It is situated in 73’ 40' west longitude from “'ashington, and in 11° 30‘ south latitude. The advan- tage it possesses lies in the fact thatthe totality licre continues five minutes and thirty-three seconds, thirteen seconds longer than in Caroline Island. The eclipse of May next is especially favorable to observation on account of the exceptionally long duration of the, total phase. The longest time a total solar eclipse can last is a little less than seven minutes. The average time is about two minutes. In the present case the totality will continue between five and six minutes, which is a rare event. The tro ical locality of the placo of obser. vation is avorablc for clear weather on the momentous occasion. Thereiscve reason to anticipate that discoveries will made and observations confirmed that will in. crease our knowledge of the solar surround- ings and reflect great honor on the astrono- mers who braved the dangers of the deep to wrest from the eclipsed sun afew of the secrets at all other times securely hidden beneath the dazzling brightness of his beams. w The Princess and the Negroes. ()a the day before the reception tendered her at St. George's, Bermuda, the Princess Louise went out an a sketching expedition along the share all alone, and, after a time, becoming thirsty. went for a drink to the cottage of a ne fisherman. No one was there but "Auntie." and she was busyas could be ironing a shirt for her “ole man” to wear at the tion. The princess ask- ed fora drink. "I’se no time to bodder getting water 10’ you." was the re ly: "l'se fea'fal busy, for I’se bound to ace t queen's chile tomorrow." “But if you'll get me a drink I'll iron while you do so," said the thirsty princess.

It cannot be denied that Brazil depends largely for her prosperity on a single pro- duct. “Cafl'ee is king,” they say in Rio ; and well they may, for its production repre- sent more than half of the averaga value of the exported produce for the last fourteen years. Since 1876, inclusive, ithas exceed- ed this pro ortion. In the year 1876.7 the value of co co exported was $31,211,100, and intho year 1877-8 £11,050,500, out of a total export of “9,550,300 and £18,63-l,900 in the two years respectively. , In 1878-!) it gave £11,334,100 out of a total of £20,405,- 700, which included cotton, sugar, hides, india-rubber, mace, tobacco, gold, and diamonds. In quantity, the export of coffee in these years was nearly one-half the total annual consumption of the world. The im- portance, therefore, of its production is ap- parent. It appears, however, to rest on a secure basis. The Brazilian planter can compete successfully with any other planter in the markets of the \urld, and will be aided largely by the economy of transporta- tion afforded by the new communications with the seaboard. The culture of the plant is not, fortunately, dependent on slave labor. Official statistics show that, so far back as seven years ago, more than half the labor employed in the province of Rio de Janeiro, Geraef, and San Paulo, were freeâ€"thopro- rtion being 662,371 free and 521,102 slave aborqrs, a proportion increasing every year. It must, nevertheless, be admitted that to depend so largely on one production is not wise. Prudence would dictate the desira- bility of encouraging the cultivation of other agricultural pro note. The moans of doing this are not far to seek. The River Plate rcpublicsalroadygrow and ex rt to life do Jaucirobrcadstulls in consi arable quanti- ties. The southern rovincc of Brazil are just as capable as host: territories are of producing grain of all kinds :' and we may expect that before long they will not only supply the home markets, but themselves become exporters of bread stuffsâ€"TIM Forl- iiiqlilh/ [fr-ricw. -0 a-»vuc» Entire Confidence.
