The Great Eclinse.

On Friday afternoon, May 26th, OF
this year, there will be an eclipse of the
Sun, which, for the meridian of Milwau-
kee, is calculated as follows: beginning
at 3 o'clock and minutes-greatest
eclipse, 4.26m-ending 5.41m. 1925
digits of the Sun, will be obscured.
The Wing Almanac has the following
in reference to the eclipse:
This is the largest eclipse of the Sun
that has occurred in the United States
for many years. The eclipse will be
central and largest in Canada West, and
in the northeastern counties of New
York, in Vermont, and in the Southern
part Of New Hampshire. Since the an
gular diameter of the Moon will be less
than that of the Sun, the latter can not
in any place be totally eclipsed. The
Moons shadow will not, therefore, reach
the earth; hence bright ring of light,
one-third Of digit wide, will be pictur-
ed on the Sun along where the central
eclipse passes. This will cover a strip
of country one hundred miles wide in
The section above described.
This eclipse first touched the earth
July I'd, 1913, and since then it has re-
turned thirty-one times. 1t occurred in
April, 1900; in May, 1918, 9TH, 1872,
but will not be visible in this country.
It's last return will be August 18th,
1898 The next eclipse of the Sun, of
note, will be on the 10th of March,
1858.

KALAFAT, of which so much has been
said lately, Is a town of 1000 houses.
1t is surrounded with walls, has quar-
antine, town hall, a custom house, 8
churches and cavalry barracks. 1t is the
chief place Of a sub-administrator's dis
trict. The redonbts raised by the Turks,
areof greatextentand very strong. They
are partly raised on two high hills in
the plains Of Kalafat, about a mile dis
tant from each other, and have a numer-
ous artillery. Allthe neighboring coun-
try is commanded by these hills IN such
way that no approach to the Danube
can be made In 1928 these hills were
occupied and fortified by the Russians
Between Widdin aud Kalafat the Dan
ube is less than mile WIDE and the
course Of it Is very rapid. The Island
in which the Turks are fortified is stu
ated near the left bank it Is partly coy
cred with wood, and is defended by
strong intrenchmcnts in earth, bearing
large artillery. Above Widdinthe Turks
have constructed new citadel according

1t is stated that a Deputation Of the
Peace Society of England, consisting of
Joseph Sterge Of Birmingham, and gen
tleman from Bristol, has gone to St. Pc
tersburgh to induce the Gar to come to
terms Of peace with Turkey.
1t ought to be hoped that good would
result Immediately from this movement,
but this can not be expected. But good
will come of it medidteIy. 1t is an era
in the history Of the world, the fact that
an effort Of this kind has been made. 1t
will lead to greater and more united eff
forts Of the same kind, till in time the
mission will be accomplished.
We hail the movement as a good

The State Of the Question.

The chances Of the passage of the Ne
braska Bill il It's present shape become
more and more doubtful. The speech
Of Gen. Houston against it, in which lie
stood up manfulIy for the Missouri Com
promise, condemned without qualifca-
ton the attempt to repeal or set it aside,
and committed himself decidedly against
every movement hostile to it, has inspirit-
ed the advocates Of good faith. Repre-
senting an extreme Southern State, how
honorably his position contrasts with that
Of the New Hampshire politician, who
occupies the White House. We have
often said that if we We're obliged to choose
for the Presidency between an honora-
BE, high-mindei Southern man, and a
Northern man, dominated by Slavery,
by all odds, give Us the former-Na-
ttoaat Era.
