PRINCE HENRY,s VISIT.

The editor of the T.-R. has received
an invitation from the treasurer of the
New Yorker Staats-Z eitung to attend a
dinner which that newspaper intends to
give to the representatives of the daily
press of the United States in honor of
II. r. Fl. Prince Henry of Prussia, on
Feb. rs. The courtesy thus shown the
German prince by the greatest German
American newspaper In this country
will be one of the events of the royal
visit. Undoubtedly there will be pres
ent German born Americans who can
speak the sentiments Of the millions of
German-American citizens regarding
their beloved Faderland.
Advices from the capital of Ger
many indicate that Prince Henry's visit
to the United States is attracting less
attention in Berlin than in Washing
ton and New York. 1t is regarded at
home as mona the less the German en-
porer's personal enterprise, and that is
his subjects. According to the home
view the time has gone by when he is
suspected of having eccentricities and
vagaries of Judgment. The emperor is
now credited among his subjects with
being at once a many sided monarch,
who knows q good deal about great
many things, and also close observer
of foreign affairs. with a practical tall
ert for forcasting the trend of German
that Prince Henry's presence in the
United States will do something to pro-
mote good feeling between nations, his
Judgment is accepted without reserve
in Germany as sagacious and indisput-
ably right. His motives are not anal
lied, and no undue stress is laid upon
the fact that a timely demonstration
of German good feeling may do some
thing to offset British concessions to
good Offices during the Spanish war.
The German people know that the
Americans have wealth, resources, as
yet scarcely touched, market of i'm
measurable value, and commanding
influence in the world. If the German
emperor has considerd 1t expedient to
go out Of his way to have yacht built
and christened in America, to make a
handsome gift to Harvard University,
and to send his brother with a repre-
sentative staff from the court, army
and navy, his subjects are we'll salts
fed that the game Is worth the candle.
They believe that he is wise sover-
eign, who does not act from the caprice
Of the moment, but from deliberate,
closely calculated judgments of the
welfare Of the German empire.
It is now evident that Prince Henry
q brother of the emperor, and a repre-
sentative Of the German nation, will re-
ceive a cordial welcome from Ameri-
cans, and that the German ruler and
his people will have no occasion to re-
greet the effort to strengthen friendly
relations between the two powerful ma
tons.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
ON MATRIMONIAL POS
SIBILITIES.

ion who are available matrimonally

office. It finds that in the aggregate
there are 672,6 bachelors of 81 or

The exact figures are a, 1876, 446 mai

could not possibly get wives unless
they fell back upon the widows or
upon girls under 30.
New England has always been sup

Last Nights Eclipse Was Perfect
One for Paducahans,
Thousands Saw the Moon Pass Into
the Shadow Of the Earth aud
Out Again.
ECLIPSE VISIBLE EVERY WHERE

Thousands of people of Paducah en-
joyed the opportunity last night of
witnessing a perfect eclipse Of the
mool. FAIR L. passed entirely into
the SHADOW bafore midnight, and
watch pa ees were numerous. There
was q cloS' less sky, end the spect, Gle
was one we'll worth seeirg.

peared and at sho 'tly after r. O'Clock
the moon was entirely hidden, but only
for few minutes as shortly after
ware it began TO glow with dull bot
toaotii1l hues Of copp.r, green ind
red mixtrre. The eclipse is carsed
by the esrtd's SHADOW falling upon the
lunar body, tie sun, earth and moon
being 10 direct line with each other
at that period.
When the moon began to leave the
esrth's shadow, just after the total
cell sea small crescent of silver light
became visible upon the eastern edge
of the moon, which grew in size until
the eclipse was over.
Eclipses occur only when the sun
and moon are st the Nodes Of their or
bits, or in other words, just as they
glide last each other in their respect
i've orbits, which lie at an a'gle to
each other. The least nrmber Of
eclip es that take place in one year is
two, end the ''rgest number of them
possible seven. OF this latter number
five are of the sun and two OF the
moon. When only two, they occur in
seasons, one-ha" year apart, one of
the sur, and one Of the moon. Lunar
eclipses are known by their series,
which lasts for 223 months, or nearly
nineteen years. Many dates in ohro-
nology are fixed by reference to GER
tlin lunsr eclipses. The date of the
Christian era was determined by the
lunar eclipses, which happened on
the night OF Herod's death. From
Herod's death the dste Iof Christ's
birth was computed by reference TO
the Romsn councils, which served
two years each and which succeeded
er N other from the time of his birth
until the death Of the Egyptian king.
II is claimed that the person who
computed the time intervening te-
tween the two periods mentioned
made an error, as two coupcils were
omitted, thus Shortening the Christian
era b. four years.

ception, carry what is known Is .

mentioned that there are no shadows

the appearance of the earth, these
