only echoed the sentiments of Europe.

We will have 10 awaken TO the inn
p0riance of strict commercial alliance

done by the proper display OF that en-

England and English capitalists have
already secured $500 600 600 worth of

What Befen Us on New Years Day

A friend should bear q friends infirmi-
ties.-[Skakesfeare.
He who has made the acquisition of a
judicious and sympathizing friend may
be said to have doubled his mental re-
sources.-[R. Hall.
The quotation from Shakespeare has
been observed by our friends, or We
would have none.
OF the correctnessof the quotation from
Hall, We are not SO positive. If he ex-
presses literal fact, we can not see Why,
with so many judicious and sympathizing
friends, there should be 30 abrupt limit
to our, mental resources!
But whittier are we wandering? We
started out to tell what overlook US on
New Years day Of 1889. With Mrs.
Tilton, we were returning home from
taking dinner with friend. On nearing
our home, vehicles and teams came to
our view. On reaching the house, it was
found to be held by greatly superior
force. The force was composed of ladies
and gentlemen, end they not only held
the house, but fairly filed it. We simply
resigned to our fate.
Presently, the invaders were seated,
when Ben G. Rich, in accordance with
some preconcerted plan, as we are now
satisfied, arose and proceeded to abuse
us by launching sundry insinuations
against our record as a journalist and
the kind Of people who had become our
friends. But that kind of thing could
not last always. 1t had golden ending.
As he concluded, he placed in our hand a
gold watch-we were going to say the
prettiest one We ever saw. We think 90,
but will not say it. And then. just like
Ben. he made Us stand up and read aloud
the inscription:
Presented
to
HON. W. s. T11rox
by his
Trego County Friends,
January !, 1889.
We managed to express, after fashion,
our appreciation of the handsome watch,
on account of its intrinsic value, but
more especially of each friend, who, by
his or her thought or action had aided in
the bestowal of such a gift.
The watch was passed around for gen.
eral inspection. 1t passed muster without
q break in the line. The watch is of
pure gold. The covers are beautifully
with floral and other designs.
The cost of the watch, aside from the
engraving denoting the gift, was S126.00
in Chicago. Between forty and fifty per-
Sons contributed to the fund for its pur-
chase. 4
While We were in need of no proof of
this nature to assure US of the true friend
ship OF the people who have stood by us
so nobly, this watch will be, to the end of
life, an additional incentive to labor to
deserve the friendship of true men and
Mrs. Tilton was the recipient of a
handsome set of teaspoons. She appre-
ciates the gift.
A lap lunch was now served.
After lunch, the partial eclipse Of the
sun was observed from the south porch.
May the year 1889 be very happy one,
not only to our friends who surprised Us
On January l, but to all others, as well.

LINcoLs's VAR SECRETARY.

Ellis Headlight Baldwin comes
out squarely, at last, and admits that
he was Eincoln's war secretary. 1t
is well. Voter having convinced
him of this, is now ready to 60 to
Ellis with the air of conquerer.
Besides this, Baldwin 5 susceptibility
to coercion has saved his bacon. He
makes a pass or two in his column
rally which heartless critics are apt
to sneer at. 1t seems that his prep
aration for the arduous duties of
war secretary consisted in cunning
for ants. But we can overlook this
on the ground of the war secretary
becoming somewhat facetious in his
attempt to fall headlong into the
bold western style Of expression.

ECLIPSES.
That Of New Years Day and Others
to Come.

Prof. ]. G. Porter, of Cincinnati, writes
to the Commercial Gusette that there will
be five eclipses during the year 1889, but
only two will be visable here, and both
Of them occur in January. The year
starts out with solar eclipse on New
Years day. It will be total along a line
extending from the Pacific coast just
above SanFrancisco up toward Hudson
Bay. In this part of the country it will
only be partial eclipse, and it COM
mences so late in the afternoon that it
will probably attract but little attention.
The dark body of the moon will gradu-
ally eat It's way into the bright disk OF
the sun until the time of sunset, when
about one-half of the solar diameter will
be obscured.
By the 10Th Of January the moon win
have swung around in its orbit from the
point between the earth and the sun to
the opposite side, and it will then pass
into the earth's ehadow, thereby causing
q lunar eclipse. It happens that the
moon does not ct this time pass through
/ the center of the earth's shadow, but
only through the edge of it. The eclipse
will therefore be a partial one, about
seven-tenths of the moons diameter being
covered. It begins at 10 hours % min
utes in the evening Of January 16, and
ends at hour Ii minutes in the morning
Of January II.
The eclipse on New Years day vas
visible from Wa-Keeney for about an
hour. The sun shone radiantly from .
clear sly. Many friends happened to b
at the residence Of the writer, and smoked
smoked pieces Of glass appeared numer.
|! II between the eyes Of observers and the
sun. At the heighth of the eclipse the
sun resembled in shape q new moon. At
this time the Light was much subdued in
all directions The picture was one Of
beauty enchanted. Before sunset the
moon was from between this locality and
the sun. In tho Ohio valley and on east
the sun had Get before the eclipse took
place.

OUR NEITHER REPORT.

The weather report which we
publish this week is our regular
January exhibit of the statistical
labors of Professor Ben C. Rich.
In this report is food for thought
full people. IL one wants to know
whether our rainfall has been about
the same in one year as in another,
these statistics will be his answer.
If it is desired to ascertain the
months in the different years which
have furnished heavy falls Of rain,
their names can be found in this
report.
If the temperature of any month
is desired, the key is in these Stats
tics.
It occurs to US very wildly that,
in years when the rainfall was from
