An Eclipse To-day.

The almanacs announce that an annular
eclipse of the sun will occur tomorrow af-
ternoon, which will he visible throughout
the United States as partial eclipse, being
annular in the northwestern region of Brit
ish America. In this city it begins at ten
minutes to four o'clock and ends ut thirteen
minutes past five. The time has always
been when an eclipse was regarded only as
subject for calculation by astronomers and
an object of curiosity even to the public. 1t
was considered an event that had a great
influence on the interests of the moral
world, but the superstitutien was excusable
in its origin and innocent in its effects. Now
the realization of the predictions are looked
for as kind of test of the exactness of sci
ence. The greatest number ofeclipses that
can happen in one year is seven, In which
case FIVE are of the sun and two of the
moon, as in the year 1857. The least num-
ber is two, and then they are both solar;
this occurred in 1857, 1881, 1875 and 1902.
Generally in the space of eighteen years
there are seventy eclipses-forty -one of tho
sun ard twenty nine of the moon. Total
eclipses of the sun during which the day
will resemble very dark night, and stars
of the second and third magnitude will be
visible and the planets Venus and Mercury
appear in unwontcd splendor, are calculated
for August 10, 1887; April II, 1919; April
8, 1921; February Is, 1862, and August H.,
1899. There will be total eclipse of the
sun on the 18th of September next. It will
be in the United States.

DeIaaUare's Memorial Lamp.

A meeting was held at Milford, on Wed.
nesday evening, 22nd inst, in behalf of the
enterprise of erecting at the Centennial
grounds q magnificent bronze memorial
lamp post as perpetual monument to the
State of Delaware. It appears that this is
q national enterprise and comprehends all
the States in the Union, and the work is in
the hands of a national association, with
special agent or agents for each State. Mr..
s. P. Bancroft, former Delawarean, now
of Philadelphia, has charge of the work In
this State and has been for several weeks
energetically prosecuting the enterprise.
Mr.. Bancroft gave detailed account Of
the origin and progress of the work, and
made an earnest.appcal to the citizens Of
Milford to aid in paying this high honor to
their native State. He gave minute de-
scription of the contemplated lamp post,
from which 1t appears that it will be o
splendid work Of art, and remain for all
time monument to the State. Mr.. B.
said the work would cost "a 900; and while
that might appear to be large sum, 1t
was proposed to collect It in small amounts
so that 1t would be enerous to none. All
the money collected is to be applied in good
faith to the work, the agents themselves
contributing their labor gratuitously.
Every contributor is furnished with q re-
ceipt, and dollar subscription entities to
life membership in the association.

n Plea for the Conference.
WILMINGTON, March 20.

Editor Of Morning Herald: In your paper
of yesterday there appeared letter signed
"Catholic," on the subject of the Confer
ence Resolutions regarding Roman Catho-
lies. Deprecating, as do, any interfsr-
ence with the inalienable rights OF Ameri-
can citizens, beg leave to intrude on your
time this morning, and ask to enter plea
for the Conference. Could not the members
of the Conference readily and utterly o.
lence their critics by asking them TO con-
slider some facts like the followinga Have
we not in Wilmington for years endured
the peculiar exhalations from the bone
mill9 Why, then, make such fuss over
the Methodist Conference. Have not the
druggists done thriving business in the
matter of perfumery since the advent of the
.ordorless excavatcr! And is not the nose
of every Wilmingtonian raised in righteous
nant lakes of our beautiful city9 \
When living in the upper portion of the
CITY, have time and again seen staid and
sober citizens, steady matrons and demure
damsels with surprising unanimity, hur-
riedly passing certain squares, each with In
gers tightly clasped over the nose. And yeti
doubt not among some of these may be
found persons who are dissatisfied at the
Methodist Conference busying itself over
the affairs of the Roman Catholics. Sir,
rise 10 point of order, and would most
respectfully ask whose business 1t 10 If the
preachers of the Methodist Episcopal
Church discuss any or every question, Ecle-
satical, historical, biographical, psycholo-
gical or theological.
The Methodist Church is, as is we'll
known, eminently conservative. She dis
likes innovations and discouDtenances
change. We all know how twenty years
ago, they denounced fine church buildings,
and pronounced organs prelatical or papis-
tical monstrosities. And they have no fine
churches to day, nor do they use organs.
Their conduct during our late unhappy war
was dictated by prudence and . proper re-
gard for Christian proprieties. Did any
Que ever hear of Methodist preachers using
their pulpits in order to enforce thence poll
ticial doctrines? Look at the evangelical
example Of charity exhibited in their union
during the war. There was no splitting up
into Methodist Church North and Metho-
dist Church South. They knew that poll
tics had nothing to do with religion 20 they
kept snunbroken front against uneslief'
If we admire consistency let US not blame
the conference for meddling. Freedom Of
speech then for the Mcthodists.
Respectfully submitted by

The Republican state Comvs,sttoss.

Mr.. Pickles, Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee informs us that
he will call meeting Of the committee to
meet in this city, sometime during the frat
week in April, to consider the calling Of the
State Convention. He said that although
he had not consulted with the entire COM
mittse, he thought that the Convention
would be convened in the early part Of May,
and that he thought that there would be no
doubt that Dover would be selected a. the
place of meeting.
1t is said that there will be strong ele-
ment in the Convention to endorse Bristew
for President, but that the delegates will
not be pledged to any one. There is prob
ability that certain wing of the party de-
sire to endorse Conkling, but the recent
developments at Washington will probably
deter any expression of preference for
Grants candidate, next to himself.
