CHlCAGO,
Eclipse Of tho Moon.
The moon will be eclipsed. No posters have
been struck, md there err no small bills" ID
be consulted, save those not in any way lunar,
which if you previously call round and settle,
jon will enjoy the sAoU all the more. No at
tsmpt has been made to get up an audience ty

Of the reach Of the collector, it is fortunate no
advertising bills have been incurred, and We
may express our belief in the increased happi-
ness Of the newspaper publishersif similar cou-
dtons Of iuacces.ib,lity, rs regards collections,
might produce like results in the advertising
way.

will he scut home late. Everything will be in
season aud in place, things purely millenlalto
our 1nnndanc managers. The sun has two long
circuits to make before the performance will
commence, but there will be no postponement
on account Of weather. Neither can the exhi-
b;tlon be repeated, though any number ofprona-

The performance will commence at halEpast
seven O'Clock, reckoning on the meridian Of
South Clark street, aud close precisely abontt ten
o'clock r. ", which being very sensible hours
for an evening entertainment, perhaps some Of
the spectators will keep their places through

nuisance in that wav, before now. The size Of
this eclipse will not be largc. In fact it isn't
rcry remarkable eclipse Of the moon, and SO
falls behind the celebrated trottcr Of that name,
an Eclipse" Of this earth. The best authorities

having twelve digits, while you have only ten.
It is unlikely that in this or in any other wny

ever "coue up" to the moon.
The horse cars on State street as also on
Madison and Randolph, running as they do
until II o'clock, will well serve all who prefer
