An Incident of the Eclipse.

Near the city hall Wednesday evening
two colored women happened TO look
at the moon in eclipse. The sight
brought them to sudden stop.
'Look at dat moonw said one.
ooh! my Lawdp' said the other,
what you think gwine happen"
A north Third street gentleman who
was passing, and who is something of a
wag, stepped up TO the colored women
and offered an explanation.
Ladies'" said he in his most Chester
fieldian way, that moon looks like a
bad omen. There is grave doubt among
scientists as to its meaning. 1t is con-
tended by some that il is the fulfillment
of the scripture, which says "The sun
shall be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before the great and
notable day of the Lord"
Here the women groaned.
son the other hand" said the gentle
man in his most sauve and courtly man.
