AN EVENT IN WHICH ASTRONOMERS ARE INTERESTED. ‘The year 1887 has in store for astronomers a total eclipse of the sun, which can be observed from convenient stations in Europe, This eclipse occurs on the 19th of August,and the line of total- ity passes throug’ Berlin, and a little to the north of Moscow. The event will give astronomers an excellentopportunity. to their studies of the sun’s Senvendings te ‘The Rochester Democrat says: Our ought to make immediate preparations to send a large and well equipped party to observe this eclipse. Observation of the total eclipse this year ‘was neglected by Ourastronomers, because a com- mittee ofthe National Academy ‘of Science re- Ported to Congress that the time was too short to prepare the instruments. Itis to be hoped that Uhe matter of the eclipse in August will be laid be- fore Co1 in time for suitable preparation. ce ‘has always shown a Wil to pro- vide ample means for observation of total éc! and other great astronomical events. But Con- gress has often been sotardy that lack of adequate preparation has greatly interfered with successful observation. American astronomers may well de- Vote their attention to two subjects: The deter- mination of the character and extent of the sun’s Yaporous surround and the search for intra- Mercurial planets. ‘This search should not be ea over, for the non-existence of such planets as not been demonstrat and there are excellent: reasons for believing that their existence may yet be completely established.

AN ATTRACTIVE LITTLE GIRL CAUGHT PICKING POCKETS IN NEW YORK STORES. A woman calling herself Harriet Smith, with a child known as Lillian Smith, are in custody in New York, the former charged with having in- structed the chfld in the art of shoplifting. When taken the child had $118 secreted in her stockings, having removed the money from the pocketbooks she had stolen. ‘The child Lilitan does not appear to be over eight years of age, although said to have attained eleven years. She has a pleasant, bright face, with large blue eyes and wavy blondé hair, “Her entrance {nto the court-room was lithe- some and free, as if she enjoyed the novelty of the situation. She wore a pretty flyaway hat and a cioak over a neat dress. On her hands were a diinty patr of kid gloves, of which she appeared to be very particular, as she was constantly smoothing down the flugers and looking at them to see if the fit was perfect. Her face seemed to be free of care, as if she had no idea of the ex- tent of the crime ot which she was accused, Her entire features were in strong contrast to Une haggard, anxious look of the elder female. ‘The chiid's manner towards Harriet Sintth was some- What affectionate While in the court room, al- though they were not allowed to converse’ to- gether. ‘The stolen money was all handed over to the logers, and the little thief has been taken in In Norwich, on Wednesday, appeared the stmul- tangous announcements of the death of Mrs. Cor- nelia Lanman, widow of the late Rear Admiral Joseph Lanman, U.8.N., and the marriage of her daughter, Miss Alice Blanche, to Jas.

Harris, {s not tn | the list of Connecticut clergymen of any denoml- nation, The wedding, therefore, probably occurred in some other state.” The event was not known to the public or her friends at the time of its occur- rence, even if it was known to her family. Mrs. Lanman, who has been sick for some tine, died ‘Tuesday’ morning, and this event probably ied to the announcement of Miss Blunche’s marriage, which created much surprise.

The young lady, who is a bright, viva- cious miss of 21 years, belonged to the st soci- ety, although she did not adhere strictly to its conventionulities.
