There was total eclipse Of the
moon last Sunday night. Here is an
almanac prediction Of what was to
occur and we presume 1t did occur.
We quote: "The times of the differ
ent phases are as follows: Moon en-
tiers shadow July %, 1854 p. m; total
eclipse begins, ii :53 p. M; middle of
the eclipse, July %, 12:45 a. m. total
eclipse ends, 1885 m; moon leaves

and forty three minutes and the time
for the moons entrance into the
earth's shadow until she leaves 1t is
three hours and forty minutes"
Last Sunday night there was
total eclipse of the moon. In antici-
patton of the great event, the astro-
editor of TRIBUNE secured a
suitable position for the greatest
telescope ever manufactured from

was progressing satisfactorily, also

clouds obscured the face of the
heavens and the eclipse became total
before its time. The astronomical
sditor then withdrew from his perch.

The scalp may be cleansed with the
