The following is from the Vice Presi-

The following is from the wee Presl-
dents talk to a Chicago interviewer:
Il told leaders of the party last Decem-
Der that in my opinion ii would prove a
severe struggle to carry Republican ma
iority in the next House of Representa-
lives. Since last spring / think matters
have improved somewhat and we may now
secure a small majority in the House. The
third term movement is all nonsense.
President Grant is a singularly able man,
and the country hardly knows anything
about him personally. He is Immediately
anderrated. 1t is simply folly to listen to
men betting Gen. Grant. He is vastly
ADLER man than the people think he is.
The President is very reticeut man, but
in reference to the third term do not real
ly think that he himself desires it. As to
the movement and massing of Federal Of
fleeholders, that is certain to prove intol-
cradle. The people will not submit to be
governed by league of Government Of
fieials. and il is an outrage for any corps
of officers TO presume to keep themselves
in office by movements in reference to the
Presidency"

Boston. Oct. %.
ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
All over the city and vicinity there were
scattered people, yesterday morning be-
tween Il and O'Clock, who made but lit
tie use of ''balmy sleep for they were on
the lookout for view of TIE armament.
and they were repaid by beholdng a spec
tacle seen only once in a lifetime for every
one admits il was the finest ever seen.
An eclipse of the moon as all probably
know. occurs, when the moon. the sun.
and the earth come in line the earth being
between the two. This takes place once
in every eighteen years. The predictions
of the astronomers were fully verified and
the programme was carried out exactly
as they had predicted. The eclipse was
total at four minutes past two O'Clock
when the orb was scarcely discernable
and darkness overspread the earth. At

FASHIONS.
We have had lots of brilliant OPENINGS
this season, and they were largely attend
ed, for there are peculiar attractions for
the ladies, when any fresh ideas are given
regarding the style.
Camels hair street suits, with silk I'M
derskirts are much worn, and the prevail
ing cOiors seem to be black and brown,
but for indoor wear, the cOlors and shades
are SO numerous, and delicate, and rare,
that they could not be enumerated. -Ele-
CANT suits are displayed at the different
stores that are made at home. and abroad.
and we fail to perceive why the ladies are
anxious to purchase an imported garment
at higher price, for if there was not a
card attached to each, it would be diff
cult to discern the difference in very many
instances.
Close fitting garments are seldom seen
except i'm the polOnaises and sleeveless
jackets which are still in use many of the
latter are double breasted with large pock-
cts.
The most popular style for cloaks are
short backs and long fronts, although the
