a ROYAL FAMILY ROW
King Milan and Queen Eatalie OF servia
and tho Crown Prince.

King Milan and Queen Natalie OF Servia
and tho Crown Prince.
Queen Natalie of Servla, who failed in
her attempt TO withhold the crown
prince, her son, from his fathers king
Milan's) possession, Is a Russian She is
one Of the most beautiful women in
Europe. Her father is the possesaor Of
immense estates in Russia, and when his
daughter married Milan ia 1875 she
brought htm a dowry Of some $4,000
600. Her only child, Prince Alexander,
the crown prince, whose possession has
made such a stir, was born in 1876. He
is now, therefore, 12'years old.
According to the accounts, the queen
having been married, at once commenced
to intrigue. Hor first subject was her
husband, whom she persuaded to declare
war against Alexander Of Bulgaria. But
Alexander was the victor, and marched
his army after the demorallzed forces Of
Milan toward the capital Of Servia.
Milan applied to the emperor Of Austria
for assistance, only to receive a snub.
Here comes in the work Of the in
triguing queen. Early one morning
Count Rudolph Won Khevenhuller. the
Austrian ambassador to Sarvis, went to
Alexander and informed him verbally that
if he continued his march TO tho capital
of Servia an Austrian army would march
in behind him. Alexander at once aban-
doned his purpose, and all Europe won
dered at his doing so. It turned out that
the ambassador had no authority for his
act, but that having come under the in
1uence Of Queen Natalie he had carried
out her scheme to save Servia. The am
bassador was punished by Imprisonment,
and Queen Natalie from that day natIrr-
ally became an object of suspicion among
the European rulers.

MILAN NATALIE AND PRINCE ALEXANDER.
Bismarck, especially, is not man to
appreciate petticoat government. The
iron chancellor has stood against all the
women of the German court for many
years, and it is not improbable that he
would fail to see the wisdom Of Queen
Natalie's remarkable diplomatic stroke to
save Servia. When the queen recently
made her residence at Wiesbaden and
when her husband asked the German gov
eminent to give him possession Of the
crown prince Bismarck showed his prefer
ences for masculine crowned heads by
informing the queen that she must either
give up her son peacefully or by force.
There is that sympathy for the queen
which the world will always give a mother
deprived of her son. The queen may have
brought her misfortunes upon herself,
but she is certainly unfortunate. She
has been obliged TO part with her son.
She has been ordered from German terri
tory and she has been refused permission
to reside in Austria. She might try
Russia. Doubtless she has partisans
there, but all men except those under
theirinhuence distrust intriguing women,
and the car, perhaps, thinks he has quite
enough to do to take care Of the Nihilists
without harboring this remarkable diplo-
matte deceiver

office in the care of his worthy deputy,
but that is not enough. The salary Of

thing to have, but the taxpayers OBJ
ject TO letting Mr.. Cummins
have that much Of their money.
Indeed the taxpayers Of Will
mington did not want him to fiji

previous to that they objected to hay

The following tariff talk was taken
from the Journal of the Telegraph:
Th ose who think the free traders
have it all their own way in England
are greatly mistaken. Any one who is
at all conversant with the state of
public opinion as reflected in the
English newspapers and magazines,
knows that there is growing senti-
ment against free trade and toward
protection. For some reason or other
the industrial condition of England
continues to grow more unsatisfactory
with every passing year. Some OF her
ablest statesman have expressed the
opinion that England is retrograding;
that the zenith Of her prosperity has
been passed; that she is going down
hill; Germany, Belgium, and even
France are not only encroaching upsn
her foreign markets, but actually seiz-
ing her home trade.
As we noted a couple Of weeks since,
iron masters of Germany and Bel
GUM are shipping their products into
England at prices which cannot be
met on the ground. The iron work Of
the Exchange building in Manchester
was bought in Germany, and Sir John
John Brown tells us that within the
last year thousands of tons Of steel
plates have been sent from Germany
into the north of England to the SIX
clusion Of Sheffield. mot steel plates
alone" says Sir John Brown, "but
likewise tires and axles of steel are
being sold in Sheffield itself at under
prices which the Sheffield makers Of
the same class Of goods can alone
accept and live "
And this condition Of affairs is not
confined to the iron and steel indus
tries. 1t has been more than a decade
Of years since tie cotton masters Of
England have seen - months consecu
lively when they have had a fair busi-
ness. Many Of the mills in Belgium
and Germany are owned by English
capitalists and operated under English
uperintendents. These gentlemen
are not slow in saying that they can
manufacture cheaper in these protec-
tive countries than in free England.
Removing their capital to the conti-
neut had secured a profitable home
market, while England was near with
widely open ports, to servo as "a
dumping ground" TO unload surplus
goods, made by foreign labor, superin-
tended by English skill In this way
the English markets are swamped and

says a recent traveller, 1 found the
silk industry was dying out; that the
importation of raw silk had decreased
from 100000 pounds in 1871 to less
100000 now; tho iron workers OF
Stafordshire were losing money, while
the coal workers OF South Wales were
certainly living in equalid wretched-
ness-common labor having been re-
duced to half a crown a day. The cot
ton manufacturers of Lancashire say
they are consuming their capital,

Philadelphia Ledger.
Senator Blair IL interchangeable in his
efforts to accomplish what to him seem
necessary reforms, political. educational

reform proposition is that Congress shall
submit to the people a Constitutional
amendment, giving that body authority 10

sale OF Intoxicating liquors in the United
States. Although the proposition has the
endorse ment OF the committee Of the SEN
ate on Education, Il has not been acted
upon. Senator Blair is persistent mau 70

to add another amendment TO the Const-
tuition OF the United States. So long as
those great questions which grew out Of
the war we're fresh IN the public mind, the
determining of which rendered Constitu-
tionsl changes necessary, amendments
were not only possible, but comparatively
easy OF accomplishment; but at present It
seems impossible to get favorable hearing
for amendments to the Constitution that
are indispulably necessary. The ma
chinery used for amending that great
instrument Is very cumbersome aud
especially hard to move, just as Il was
wisely intended b be. Either two-thirds
OF both houses Of Congress must propose
the deaired amspdmsnt, or convention
called by Congress in accordance with the
Legislatures OF two thirds OF the states, must
do it, and after it hiss been thus proposed
it cannot be made a part OF the Constitu-
fion unless ihree-fouIths OF the LeRisla.

the states, ratfy it. Congress may pre-
scribe either method of ratification, but
the first has been thought preferable.
When it is considered how public senti-
ment differs on tia subject of prohibition.
and how few states have given it the ap.
proval Of law, it will be- recognized that
Senator Blair either does not appreciate

viii be wholly in this shadow, or totally
eclipsed, and remain in the dark shadow
for one hour and forty-three minutes. It
will take another fifty-nine minutes for
the satellite to pass entirely out of the
umbra, and still another City nine to get
out Of the other side of the penumbra and
go on it's way as though nothing hethap-
pened to disturb the serenity Of its coun-
tenance
At the beginning Of this grand enter;
tainment the moon will be about two and
one-half hours above the horizon in New
York, and lower down for places west.
At the end it will be approaching the
western horizon on the morning of Mon
day. The entire time occupied by the
exhibition will be five hours and thirty
nine minutes. -
The illustration of the relative position
of the sun, earth and moon during the
eclipse viii enable readers to clearly I'M
derstand what has already been said. It
may be Of interest to add some distances
and measurements that may not have
been memorized. The sun is 0l,500,0O0
miles from the earth. The moon is dis
tant 100000 miles from the earth. The
length of the moons shadow is about
24O 600 miles. Sometimes the moon IS
farther than that distance from the earth
and sometimes less. In IN annular eclipse
the shadow vanishes before it reaches the
surface of the earth. But the shadow Of
the earth is thrown out to the moon, and
does not vanish in point until it has
extended 600,000 miles farther into space.
At the distance of the moon this dark
shadow, or umbra, is still about $500
miles in diameter, and the moon being
only 3, 100 miles in diameter, considerable
time is taken to get through the shadow,
though the moon is rushing along at the
rate Of over 1000 miles an hour.
So
While observers are waiting for the re-
appearance of the moon after it crosses
the meridian up near the zenith they will
naturally look around for other objects in
the midnight sky. The most conspicuous

Jupiter, in the constellation Scorpio

Tho next most conspicuous star is Mars,
two hours in time west of Jupiter. This
planet resembles the earth in many par
ticulars. II has been studied with great
care, as the illustration suggests. The
dark outlines are water and the light por-
tions land It is seen that it has four
continents. These have been named Her
schel, Dawes, Modler and Secchi, and it
is also seen that railroad might extend
around the planet on the equator by MAX
ing a few bridges. The large body of water
containing an island is named Delarue
sea, and the mass in the other hemisphere
Dawes ocean. On the land artificial
canals have recently been announced,
though their existence is not proven.
This planet has two moons, but they are
so small that if one should drop some
nigh. upon the city halls Of New York,
Chicago or St. Louis, the debris would
not cover one-half of these cities. One of
them flies around Mars in much less time
than it takes the planet TO turn upon its
axis. A bright little star near Mars is
named Spica Virgins, spica meaning a
sheaf Of corn. Both these stars viii set
a little after midnight ON the 22d. so that
they must be looked for early in the even
ing. #%N
The next object that viii attract atten-
tion will be the great fixed star Arcturus
in the western sky after O'Clock. II lies
off the handle Of the Dipper or tail Of the
Great Bear. This star is distinguished
as one of the twenty whose distance from
the earth has been measured. This dis
! tance is so enormous that if the star
should be annihilated while you are looking
at it, twenty-five years and eight months
would have to pass before tho fGct could
be verified. That is. il would take that
time before light starting from it on the
I night Of the 22d could reach the earth,
! though coming at the rate Of zoo, 600 miles
in O second Of time. II takes fifteen figures
to give this distance in miles, thus: 1S4,
800 900, 900, 600, or one hundred and eighty
Eve trillion miles nearly.
IS
East OF Arcturus are Vega and Affair, of
dazzling whiteness. The distance of
Vega in the Tyre is also known and it
takes light twenty-one years and three
months to pass between it and tho earth.
Affair is the large central star Of three in
q line in tho milky way. The constella-
ton is called hcuila. or the Eagle. Its
/ distance is not known.
