On the 22nd day of December next the Sun and many of the moet important planets which surround him will occupy a position very rarely attained by these notables, and such as never fails to be productive of extraordi- nary disturbances in heaven on earth and on the mighty deep. One of the most no- ted total eclipses which any one living has ever seen will take place on the day above referred to. This eclipse will not be visible on the western i ¢. the American continent; it will begin to show itself on the North At- lantic ocean, and its centre will pass in a eouth easterly direction over Portugal and Spain, crossing the Mediterranean and eq- tering Africa near Oran in Algeria; it con- tinues it course in a southeasterly direction till it arrives about the centre of Algeria, when 1t changes its conrse and asses in a north easterly direction leaving Algeria and passing over Tunis, again crosses the Mediterranean, ever the island of Sicily, along the eouth of Turkey, the Black Sea and ends about the sea of Azof ; having thus passed over one sixth part of the earth's circumference. At noon the the very centre of the total eclipse will be about 36} degrees north latitude and 5 degrees weet longitud~, tha' is near to Gib raitar. The reason why this total eclipse will be of more than usual extent and duration ia in consequence of its taking place at a time when the moon is unusually near tte earth and the earth in that part of its orbit which is nearest to tl.e sun, being at the time of the Winter Solstice. The Sun will rise eclipsed in the North Atlantjo and set eclipsed in Arabia. That is to a European observer, tut an unusually grand total eclipse is not at all likely to be the only phenomenon arising from the celestial eongress already referred to ; there will certainly be vast tides or tidal waves rising 10 an unusual beight, and there may very likely be fear ful storms or hurricanes. The total eclipse will not cause these, but the unusual positiou of the Sun and the chief planets on that day will doit. Oa the east of the earth we shall have the Moon, Mer-- cury, Venus and tiic Sun, and on the west of the earth we shall have Uranus and Ju piter. The whole will be nearly in a straight line, and consequently in the best pesition possible to create unusual disturb. ance, bo:h in the Heavens, the Eacth and the Sea. Most of our readers are aware that the attraction of the Moon and that of the Sun, together with the centrifugal force communicated to the waters of the ocean by the rotary motion of the earth on ifs axis, are the principal agents in causing the tides. But while such is the fact, the rest of the planets, especially the larger of ther, have a considerable tendency, ac- cording to their relative positions to the Carth, 10 increase or diminish the tides, just as the relative dista and posit of the Sun and Mooa to the Earth cause bigher or lower tides. When the moon is pearest to the earth, ber attraction on the earth will be strongest snd tend to raise the highest tide. And when the earth is neagest the sun, the sun's attraction on the earth will be at its aod conse- teud toraise the tides fo the 'suns capable. It is also kaown that to whatever height the tide rises on one side of the earth, it rises at the same time fo an equal height on the opprsite mde. It must also be obvious to cvery one that wheo the distance be. tween she sun and the earth is least, and when dhe. moon is at its nearest to the earth, if the attraction of the sun and moon act in the same direction upon the earth, fhen es will be at their high- est; afd' ctly what will take December. t thi ot all ; for, as: we have al- ry ated, he attraction of the other « THI AEY i planets has a considerable influence in in. creasing or diminishing the tides, according to the positions which they occupy with regard to the earth. If the moon, the principle of the other planets, and the sun all act in conjunction, then very great tides or tidal waves may be looked for, and such will be the condition of things on the 22nd of December, and therefore element. al disturbances on a very large scale are most likely to take place. The sun and moon will be in a direct line with the earth while Mercury and Venus will be on the same side with the moorrand sun, and only a little more than a degree out of a straight line! But the planets Jupiter and Uranus will also add their forces to those already mentioned, they too will be within one de- gree of a straight line with the others, and consequently combining their attractive powers with #hose of the sun, moon and other planets, so that we may look out for a bumper on the famous 220d. Of course our shores are a good distance from the centre ol aciion, and the disturbing in- fluence will have less effect than it will be likely to have on the west and south of Europe, which will be in the ceutral track aud quently within the direct in- fluence of the powerful combination. We are aware that the two last named planets will be on the opposite side of the earth from the sun, moon, Venus and Mercury but it matters not whether they act on the same side or on opposite sides (conjunction or opposition) the effects are equally the same. TkLis must be obvious to every one who considers for a moment that whatever height the tide is raised on one side by di- rect attraction -- indirect attraction (if we may use the expression) combined with centrifugal force, raises"the tide to an equal height on the opposite side, so that it will be perceived that by acting from directly opposite sides, their influence is equally as great as when they act on the same side. It is only when they actat an angle to each other that they tend to diminish each other's influence--their greatest counter- acting influence being when they are at right angles. Itisno doubt difficult to predict the extent of the elemantal dis- turbance which is almost sure to accom- pany this unusual congress of the ponder- ous representatives of the Solar System, but tha! they will create a rumpus more or less destructive and extending over a large space of the earth's surface, is only to Se expected from the actions of previous sim. ilar gatherings of these round heads, and it will do no harm for the good folks in the south and west of Europe, to trim up a little in anticipation of the event, while the sons of Neptune doing business on the proud Atlantic, bad better prepare for squalls, WHO COMES NEXT? There are already two candidates in the field for substantial testimonials of Canada's approbation --SirJohnA.and Mr.McKenzie, and the Montreal Daily News 1s eagerly pressing tke claims of a third candidate in the person of Sir Geo. Cartier. This is only the beginning and very far from the end ; the superlative merits of these poor over wrought, under paid sons of foil and economy one after another will doubiless come to the surface each in his turn in or- der to receive his bait and swim off leaving room for the smaller fry to put in their claims. As itis there are dozens, nay scores, we had almost said hundreds who consider their claims to public acknow ledgement far superior to those of Sir George, and lots of people will think that such are not far »stray in their conclusions, and really believe that when Sir George's superior claims come to the surface lots of others may justly gap for the bait. Of course s nee Canada does rot pay her public servants--putting them off with ibe paltry piltance of some $15 per day rain or shine--it is time that a generous public were stepping forward with a cash acknow- ledgement of unrequitt: d claims. And while thus requittiog Zatent claims the generous ones will at the same time be giving _ vent to their pent up generosity as there is no other channel in which it can possibly flow, there being neither poor widows nor or- phans, unfortunate, helpless, sick and infirm 1 Canada on whom tlie glow of charity can be brought to bear. Giving to the rich and robbing the poor are twins and corrupticn's their mother. THE WAR. So for as the despatches from the scenes of that borrid war are concerned, no more relisnce can be placed on them than for. merly, as scarcely one of them gets the length of the cable till after it bas been thor oughly filtered through partizan in. fluences und made to suit, as far as possi: ble, the desired object, either of a friend mercenary. But one thing is certain, -- pity ut is so that the work of death and destruction still goes on remorselessly. Modern Vandalism is making itself felt in all its fory and bitterness, and the deadly strife is being earried on with varying success--resulls we ought to say. rl As A BED FOR POOR DOG TRAY. Our dogists would find it to be much to their 0:vn cong fort, to that of the public gen- erally, ss well as « great saviog of labor to their brutes--ihe greater portion of of whose time is occupied in hunting on small scale--to supply then Pow on again with a bed of dry fresh shav."g® from pine boards.

Will the relentless Mars unlock Pande- monium and let Joose all the dogs of war to lay waste and devastate, murder and de- moralize, or will Earope be spared from further outrage than that which has been brought upon her. Will he be satisfied with the calamities which has been brought upon betrayed and injured France; wiiich has been blindfolded, tied hand and foot, und treacherously handed over by her per fidions rullers into the grasp of a cruel and relentless foe, which has nearly succeeded 'in bringing her to the dost. It is true that now the star of hope begins to flicker in the distant horizon, and France now begins lo grapple successfully with her remorseless invaders. The heroic blood which of yore coursed through Gaulic veins, again begins to flow, and the voice of a desolated land, the cry of the fatherless, the wail of the widow and the moan of the bereaved daily rise ta Heaven against a croel, heartless foa--a nation's honor, the life's blood streaming from the gaping wounds of her best aud bravest sons, with the upbraiding hollow murmur from the graves of depaited heroes, call in tromphet tongues for the natior to arise in her strength and rid the land of its insatiable foes. The nation now listens to the call, she is grasping her wea- pons, buckling un her armor and going forth to vindicate a nation's honor and avenge a nation's wrongs, or fall in the at- tempt 5 and fighting for (reedom, for home, for wives and children, a ed fathers and mothers--struggling for their very manhood, who can doubt the result. " Freedom's battle once begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baffled oft is ever won." And this will be no exception from the rule. The remorseless foe is doubtless scattered over that fair land as the sands of the sea for muliitude, but how many of them will again see their native land, is a question which time alone can rolve. Many thou. sands of Germanys noble sons have already fallen in tha vigor of manhood, and many thousands more will follow, simply to satis- ly the greed of a haughty movarch. and a cralty Bismarck, whose sgressive policy may yet lead the brave and noble Germans nto a fearful trap, Bismarck's cunning game is nearly play- ed out. The nations have not forgotten the snare into which he led the haughty Ave- trian, and the fearful catastrophe which followed ; or the cruel trick which he play- ed the poor Danes. None but France's worst enemies would now counsel her to sue for peace or accept of ternfs of humilia- tion, she has already passed through many and severe ordeals, but never did she crouch at the feet of an invader and lick the very dust. Should she succumb now all nations, ancient and modern, would point the finger of scorn at her, while her noble children, whose blood has been freely shed in defence of her fair fame, would turn themselves in their graves and look downwards, and seek to forget a people so unworthy of their sires. The almost uni- versal opinion is that the cunning Bis and the Russian Monarch understand each other iu this Eastern game, and that he is aiming at Britain's humiliation. But should he fall upon that rock he will be broken, and should that rock fall upon him it will grind him to powder. The chances are however, that the game has arisen a little too soon to suit the wily diplomats, and most likely they will back down.-- While Britain is loo magnanimous, and too conscious of her own ability to maintain her rights to cultivate the sneaking &, irit of jealousy or indulge in mean carping, still the naticn which expects to catch her nap- ping will require to get up preity early. RUDELY SNAPPED. We talk about Yankee divorces, but they are nol a patch to the roughshod divorces accomplished by the British Army's cruel regulations, as exemplified by Colonel Magot of the 69th, who on Wednesday last rudely snapped asunder the holy bonds of wedlock of all and sundry of his men who had taken to themselves wives without having firet obtained his Magotship's con- sent. This 69th Regiment has been in Canada a long time and the men wi re per- mitted to go at large throughout whatever cily or town they chanced to be located, and in course of time many of them courted and married and raised families, and all went on comfortably till the 16th day of the present month, when the regiment wae called to leave Canada, and the men were ordered on board the Orontes, then lying at Quebec. Acting as any one deserving the name of man would do, they attempted to take their wives and families with them ; and what cou'd be more natural, why should they desert and leave to starve the wives whem they had vowed to protect and pro- vide for, but what are sacred ties and sol- emn vows to military authority, the Col. forvids either wife or child to put foot on board after husband or father, save only those who had firet asked and obtained his 35 | Ay. august sanction to marry. The men must go, but their wives and children must nol--they must remain behird worse than widows, and the children starve or beg because a haughty Col. has not been kneel- ed (0 at the proper time ; thus putting the military authority over and before all laws, natural, moral or sacred. The men, as might be expected, felt indignact at this outrage and attempled resistance, some by deeertion and others by attempting 10 scuttle the ship, though it is difficult to conceive what object they could have for this, surely they did not adopt this rather tedious meth- od of drowning themselves. Be that as it may, however, they created quite a ruction, 80 of them deserted and the scutlers and tars had a regular brush and made the hair Cutl and bay played a prom- anent part in the melee, and some rather foninidable gashes were Imade in the cutis on bot!) sides. The revolutionary red coals were finally subdued and "the Orontes set sai) with as many of the ructionists as could be secured, Jeaving the disconsolate wives and weeping children experience the tender mercies of the Code Militaire, and to depend in future on the cold, cold hand of charity for support. This is another proot of the glory of war, or rather of the military humbug, and nonsense. ° ENTERPRISE AND SKILL: The well-earned reputation of the Joseph | Hall Manufacturing Works, Oshawa, is] rapidly 'meeting with that recognition fo which jt 18 #0 justly entitled by the excel- lence of its manufactures.
