In eight minutes it will have crossed the Rocky Mountains, and by 7:30 central or 8:30 eastern time it will have crossed the Gulf and entered Mexico. Then on it will pass, over its selected path, until it is lost again in space. The period of totality of the eclipse varies at different points along the track. At the Rocky Mountains the spectacle will last but about thirty sec onds, and at New Orleans the period will have been lengthened thirty-seven seconds.

The Johns Hopkins University expe ditions to observe the solar eclipse will work in unison with the United States Naval Observatory and under the su pervision of the latter. The observa tories of the Naval Observatory will be divided among five parties. At Pine hurst, N. C, there will be four astron omers from Washington, under the di rection of Professor Skinner; the Johns Hopkins party from the Coast and Goedetic Survey, under Professor G. Bauer. At Griffin. Ga., there will one Naval Obsjervatory party, consist lng of Dr. L. S. Mitchell, of Columbia University; Professor Henry Crew and Dr. Tatall, cf the Northwestern Univer sity of Virginia, and L. E.

Henry. Along the centre of the path traveled by this swiftly moving shadow the sun will be completely hid den for a period cf about two minutes. More than forty miles away, on either side of the track the eclipse will be partial, not total. An eclipse of the sun that will be vis ible can occur only when the moon is new. At that time she passes exactly betwron the earth and the sun.

In the latitude of Charlotte, N. C, the first visible contact will occur at 7:31 a, m. The period of totality will be about 9 a. rs. and the sun will be clear of obscuration by 11 o'clock. If the weather be fair, this splendid spec tacle will be witnessed by thousands of interested observers. . A California girl says she is unhappy because she has inherited $i3,o:iO,r.iK.

A proclamation purporting to have been issued byAg uinaldo, and dated May 14, from Polil- lo Island, one of the Philippine group east of Luzon, is circulating in Manila. It says the commission appointed bv President McKinley was annointed without the authorization of Congress and that hence it can not treat officially it urges the Filipinos not to surrender their arms t the instigation of the commission, and on promises which Congress may not ratify, and he also urges the Filipinos to enthusiastically welcome the commission when it ar rives in the towns and provinces, ask ing them boldly for the form of gov ernment they most desire, as the Am ericans permit freedom of speech Slopped by a Storm. Austin, Tex., iSpecial. Early Satur day morning for three hours this sec tion of the State was visited by a terri ble electrical and rain storm, doing great damage to railroads and other property. All trains entering the city were held here owing to the fact that the tracks to the north for some miles were either under water or in bad con dition, with several washouts reported between here and Taylor.

"You like him much, then?" asked Lord Inchcape with quiet enjoyment "And Ulva did you say she a'.somourned for him?" A swift change passed over the lady's face. 1 "Ulva!" she whispered. "I had for gotten How shall i break this won derful news to her!" she fa tered, arnd. blushed; her eyes fell before the search- Ine gazd of her husband, yet she nestled! towards him with fond submission. "Inj this lirst dear hour of reunion I cannot? withhold anything from my lord," she murmured. "Who and what this young man is 1 know not, sime he never ob-' truded his personal affairs upon my at tention.

"And the young man what were his sentiments?" asked he gravely. "That I woaid give mu h to know," sighed my lady; "but I le.ieve he gave1 no expression to them, even to UlvaJ who to be sure was seldom tete a-teta with him.

My Lord and Lady Inchcape entered Dun raven tower together for tho first) time. Every domestic about the premises had been called tip by Kenmore and! marshaled in the vestibule to do honor to the occasion; and beautiful Ulva re ceived her parents in her arras with lovf and sympathy unspeakable. During the evening which followed she t ould not but watch her stepmothci in her new happiness with an admiration-very near being awe, so dazzlinj was the beauty of her countenance, sc fascinating her ersonal manner. Every It ok, word and motion was in stin t with charming soul, her whole being radiated pure joy. It was impos sible to look up and meet her liquid smil ing dark ejes softly resting vpon her without expeiiencing a vague assurance of happiness in store even for herself. Ulva's unspoken grief seemed lighter for the llrst time: she could believe it possible that Jod would show her how tc bear her sorrow nobly. I Aud the romance of her parents' re 'nnion comforted her; it was so sweet to know that although hor life was not tc 0 so b essed thero was true bliss yet upon the earth for others.

Lord Inchcape sought his daughter one day where she sat alone, plunged in maiden reverie, and a s.uiie was on his" face. "See what I have brought for my Di va to wear on this bright day!" said he, laying an open case in her lap "They wero your mother's pearis; they g.im mered round her graceful throat, and irom her cars and breast, when first my eyes rested upon her, and 1 have a. ways kept them for a day in jour life liko that. I should like you to change this careless toilet at once, my child. Sho wore the stately attire becoming her beauty and rank, and so should her daughter to-day." "And why to day, papa?" asked Ulva, wonderingly,her hands trembling among ue snimmering gems. "Because a uu st'is at the door who, of all that cou'd come over the sea to bleat-na-Vrecken, I most desire to honor. lJon your fairest apparel, then, and your kind lest smile, for this is the fairest and kindest day that has dawned on Inch ?fipe .?r many a wasted year. Co ne, Ulva; do you tremble, do you fear, and it is your father who bids you be glad Can you not trust me? My o wn sweet gin,- look up, and read the Jove in my heart?" ' CuM 1 W"nB your little -No, no, not if truth speaks in-human countenance: She allowed h!m to raise ter by her two h.ods, and to ead her to a window, and when she had stolon another timid glance at his elo ueni lace, a wonderful po sibility Hashed upon ner; away fled all her sickening apprehensions of some unknown per sonage coming with her father's sanc tion to demand her hand. "Who i3 toming, papa?" she whis pered, her small hands closing uncon sciously round his arm. while a magnifi cent mush mantled from lily brow to chin; yet she would not await any! clearer answer than that which his. laughing eyes gave her consciousness. wu uiuMiu away without another word, ihev hart taiL-Ai cn w.n..u a. - vr uiutM Ml Vkyhm a u?ar u tIu the past DPPy week, that) uiva seiaom joined in the dis cussion, ha jnt-antiv watching fathe naa reaa enougn or ner innocent to feel sure of his ground, ( And here was Edgar's sloop at last, sVimmlng over the wild waters to the lonely isle; and my lord and his lady had prepared a re eptlon for him, little enough liko that which met him the last time he approached, an unknown cast away in the wrecked Merganser. He lands, as upon sacred ground; and the glory of hopeful love is in his eyes, the proud swing of the con ueror in h a Btep. He is met at the very tide by my lord and his lady-like wife, with leal Kenmoro's rugged face beaming behind them; but where is his shy, proud Prin cess of tho Sea? Ah! here she comes, stealing down tho grim rock-path, the last to greet him, but the first in all the world in his swelling heart. And whq so fair and kind in her stately attiro and glimmering pearls as this proud' daughter of tho lnchcapes to-day? And there is indeed no n ore cause for sorrow for Ulva? Is the tired sea-bird to fold her snowy wings in a haven of joy to-day? There is a sweet wonder in her dark ling eyes as she flits nearer; and she pomes to a stop closo to her father' side, with faith's unconscious appeal. ! It is Lady In-jhcape, surely, this bril liant, beautiful lady, who first greets the stranger with both eager hands out stretched, and her heart in her happy eyes! Scarcely can Edgar recognize the pa thetic Lady Dunraven whom he left, in Ihis incarnation of beauty and joy! . "Welcome, a thousand times, to our-' 'home and our hearts, Edgar ArdenH ;cries she in a voice like ringing joy-bells. -1 nonorea you above all men (save one) 1 when 1 knew no kinship between us; bun j 1 may love the heir of Inchcape all my j life!" And she kissed hira. j While yet his senses arc reeling under the sweet attack. Lord Icchcape is wrins i ing his hands and uttering words he never shall forget. : "And I welcome you to Dunraven with the promise that, if your heart's desir is in my gift, I will surely give it you!" Now Ulva, his very "heart's desire, what will you say to welcome him? She is pale and amazed, and has me chanically laid her dainty hand upon tho ready arm of faithful old Kenmore, toi steady herself; she gazes and gazes at the young man while her sweet eyes grow wide and fill with tears, and her lovely mouth quivers. But when ho has reached her, and has sto en those dainty hands Into his own close keeping, and is pouring the wholej passionate love of his heart through his eyes into hers, she conquers that first strange par.gand thr- gnawing thrill tiiat follows, and is speaking low and clear as a noble lady should speak to her father's honored guest. "Mamma and I have grieved so bit terly over your supposed death, that you are welcome back even under a new name: but I shall always miss 'Cap tain Edgar!' " And her delicate tones fal ter and fall over the last words. "Do not misjudge me, Lady Ulva!" pleads tho handsome fellow humbly.' "By and by I shall explain everything that seems strange to you and perhapai you will forgive me?" With a lingering pressure he releases her lovely hands; for is not Kenmore waiting for his no-2 tice, with his lea! heart swelling with! pride and ;oy? ; "Hurrah for the bonnie heir o' Inch cape!" roars this heart of oak, as he swings his Hue bonnet aloft; "an fa r fa" the day that brought him first to Dunraven, to raise the curse off Inch cape!" These proud words fire the young man's spirit; he turns so as to face the whole group, and something in his glance silences every one. ' "Kenmore speaks truer than ho knows," says he: "the curse is indeed" raised off the house of Inchcape. I bring good tidings, my lord; your justi fication has been found among the Colo nel's papers: it was instantly laid before, the lords of that committee before! whom your honor was impeached, and he e is their rep y." s He placed a letter in Lord Inchcape's? hand; and for once the proud peer seamed overcome as he devoured thel brief contents, and passed tho paper tol his wife. i "A magnificent amende honorable!"! cried Lady Inchcape, her fair fa el flushing proudly; "listen, Ulva; listen Kenmore; you have stuck to us through good and through evil report. Lord Inchcape stands triumphantly vindicat ed before the tribunal which heard him accu-ed of dishonor five years igo, and in token of their regret for the injury he has suffered, they entreat him to ac cept his old seat in the cabinet, while in acknowledgment of his past services to the country, thev offer him the Blue Rib bon of the Garter. And who brought all to pass? You, I am sure. Mr. Ap den. though you do not say so." And now, indeed, sweet Ulva presses Edgar's hand as weil as my lad-, and gives him a wonderful i'ash from eyes glitter ng with proud tt-ars; but thou eh' my Lord Inchcape is mute while he his vountr kinsman's hand his jeye speaks a language which Edear understands well; and no one is so radi ant as he. They move upward; of all the hover ing attendants Kenmore alone i3 per mitted a place near the enchanted group; and Ldgar is forced to explain in spito of his gracious modesty. Yes, it was through his entreaties that the dead man's kinsman, Archerfie;d, searched his papers for anything bear ing upon Lord inchcape: aud when tho precious information was discovered in Accrington's diary of the year in ques tion, together with the whole romance of his hopeless p-ssion for In hcane'a ex -uisito American bride, it was o ly Edgar's wearied importunities which prevented tho licry o d si-a-dog from dashing the whole black story into the heart of his own fire, to preserve Ac crington's rep itation. How Edward prayed him. hectored him, threatened him: how he appealed to his sense of . ustice, and ail in vain; how ho began about the unhappy w fo a d the sequestered taughter, and sud denly found himself on tho Admiral's soft side, and the battle won; of all this he said little at the time.for his thoughts tre forever straying, 1'fce his eyes, to ward Ulva, who GireJ rot meet them. And how is it tha'i the group divides before they are half way up the tower, and that Lord Inchcape with his wife pass on unconscious that their younger compani ns have dropped behind? Ani what is the story that Edgar Ar de:i, of Inchcape, is te ling his pa e sea princess now? and where is all her fire and pride to day, that she does notch id 0 him when he makes the boldest demand man's lips may frame to maiden free a demand for herself. No, she does not chide him; she would noo if she could, oecause she And now they have paused by tho ro Ky wan, ciose Dy tne sea, wnere a little brook stea s from the dark heart of the cliff to sparkle in the sun; and Edgar is toiling his love the story ol Mrcombe'.s sin. and hiw leal Kenmore de.lvered him from death. And the High ander, who has been haunting them from afar, and drinking stolen draughts of the honey, happines irom tne stent 01 their sweet, young blls!, fhows his ta'l p aid-wra jp?d form near them, and mute y p eLd- w.th wist ful eyes for permi sion to come closer And hi - proud Laly Oo ava cries out eagerly that he mu t co.ee ana be the first to hear omething, oh, :o strange and unexpected for who has a better right than Kenmore? i "ADd vou were here, and heard a dr-. iug try.- tne as.ss or ice o:a man. awo in her eyes, and her light clasp tighten ing on Edgar's arm. "'Deed was I, Lady Oo'ava," answers Kenmore, in tones of solemn joy; "I was wae at hert for the brave man that had drowned at our very doors, as 1 thought ay, an' for her that mourned ae bit teny. " He paused to contemplate proudly the t,uick blush that dyes his lady's downcast face, and the impas sioned look of her lover; "I had neither broken bread nor slept for sorrow an' shamo at the evil I had borne in my mind against him afore his death. An sae I wandered up an' I wandered door among the lonely rocks night an dav; an' that night 1 cast me doon at the fit o' this cliff wa'; an' syne I heard a weary sigh, and It was at my very ear; an' I looked to see the mortal that was in such fair trouble; an' then my blood creeped backward an' the hairs o' my head stood up, for I wot it was a ghaist! Doon on my knees I fell, an' called on Gcd for deliverance; an' my voice rang through the rocks like a trumpet; an what should answer but an eerie voice ahint the cliff wa' 'Kenmore! Kenmors! I canna win oot!' an' it was the voice of him 1 thocht dead an gone, yet I be lieved it a' at once, an 'maist jrrat wa sheer joy! an' syne I &aw a pale flutter in' thing creepin' oot thiough this cranny where the burnie trickles oot, like a white bird flutterin' from its prison cage, an' I caught it an' my heart was like t j burst, it was sae thin an wounded! for it was his hand, that same hand ye hold between your ain b'iniiy silken anes " but he may as w.U close his story here, for his proud I aly (.o'ava is holding her lovers hand tu her bosom, and is bathing it with kisses and tears, in an agony of pity and love. And then they both turn te the old man, who is standing with bared head and wrapt senses, as if he was In church; and each one takes one of his horny hands, and four eves beaming with youth's loveliest emotion, pour eratitude upon him. "And you will not grudge your Colava to the unwelcome Englishman anymore, will you?" pleads Eogar, with a smile. "Come with us and see for yourself how hard I shall try to make her life a noble and happy one." "Ah, 'tis not Ardcn o' Inchcape that leal Kenmore shcld misdoubt," fays the old man, proudly; "you arc not in the list. with that deil Colonel o' tho lithe and poisonous tongue, wha bror.ght a curse on Inchcape which only you cou'd lift!- May l eaven's fairest bless ings attend this day; may the sun ever shine for it, may no dool or wae e'er darken the day that gave mv bonnio young lady to the bravest an' best in England." And as the blessing rol'.s out in thd fine old Highlander's full tones, thd gracious young pair bend their heads to receive it Yet hush! What is she saying now, this dear Oolava, adored from the first hour her tender, true face ever smiled in b'.cak Sleat-na-Yrecken? She has twined her snow-white little hands about the old man's arm, and is pi. ading in a half whisper, the tears standing in her glorious eyes. "And you will come with us, and be my own Kenmore still? Ah, do not sav no! For to you 1 owe my Edgar and his love and I will love you always Never will Salford forget the coming home of Lord Inchcape with his long lost wifo and daughter. Some vague hint of wronged Innocence and a full vindication at last had leaked out, and gentle and simple were longing to get back the beloved La iv of Inchcape Fossa and to see the splendid womanhood of Lord Inchcape's daughter, who had left them a child. But when the proud announcement was made that Lady Ulva was to marry slasm rose to its height: felicitations were showered upon the noble pair from every quarter. But none were so sweet to Ulva as Loveday Dellamere's, for the regal beauty from the north and the sun-! bright sprite with the golden tresses had but to gazo into each other's true eyes to love in very truth forever. And my Lord Inchcape was reinstated in his lolty place and once more served? his country well and wisely. But it wast noted that he never would leave his lady behind wherever his duty might send him; his Engelonde must ever be wait ing for him after each day's care and toil to charm awav his weariness, and to keep him in sweet remembrance of that oft forgotten truth that God's planning! of man's day gives t me for con jural happiness as well as for daily labor. He never felt too weary or too preoc cupied to converse with Lady Inchcape, for love made her presence a balm for' every earthly ill. So they buried Bichard Accrington with great pomp and ceremony, and half the country were there to see the last of the splendid stranger who was to have given such ga lant battle to Arden of Inchcano for tha nleasurfl nf jrepresenting them. Ana tnou n tne wno e tnrong admired the magnificence of his last a j earance on the world's stage and extolled his genius and wealth, there was no tar shed for Richard Accrington, save that one drop, but r as pan, which slowly rolled down th mahogany ch ek of Admiral Arcbei field when ho took his last look of the s'tcrn, inscrutable faco lying in the coii.n. for to this simple, fond sailor the ex attac he had se med every thing that is most to be proud of, and to discover bim a nan without honor that wrung the honest hetrt of the old sea-' dog ft r many a day. linsh! there may h?,vo been one other being who cou'd weep for iost hi hard Accr.ngton t ne who loved and hetrayed him and who had suffered dec: I7 fro n his vengeance, for death blots out wary black records, and a woman's loo!.du, forever. Yet if she wept it must have ben ft shamed secrecy, for w 10 r-hould loath, his memory more than did Mrs. Delia mere? My lord's secretary. Mr Sircombo, did not long outlive his dis-ra e. When convinced that he was not to be permitted to remain near his offended patron or his family, he vanished out of their ken ?o suddenly and so completely mat i.e icit no trace Den:no. But for months after U va't. restoration-' to iiety. when the fami y were in Lon don prepar ng for her marriage, any one at all interested in the old and the sad might have o served a certain forlorn figure wrapped in a disguising c oak. which seemed to haunt the steps of the beautiful and brMiant creature when ever she condescended to walk; which waited hours in tho harsh spring win 1s a the ran to see her pass by am: ner the other giat people who circled round the i.aaies juiie; a a grew more ana mora forlorn as time went on: more old look ing, more tremulously helpless: until ha only came once a week to sit on an ob. scure beach and ga e afar on tho love y face; then once n a mouth; then one last time the te t of al , for the beautiful lady chanced to alight from her own car riage to walk a l.ttle way with her lover nndei the royal oaks, and coming nearer slowly, the burning eye of her devotee had time to fe :d upon her noble form and her adorable face even to gather every radiant glance - till she chanced to look h s way, and found herself face to. la- e with John Sircombe. No need to turn away in shuddering scorn, sweet U1.&; he wjll never harm your lover more!

AS ojim ui noyai rawanU She In.,.i T-l mv -. . - - rlbe recent visit of the German Empress and her boys to Felixtowe was evidently an extremely pleasant wne. a corresponaent writes to London paper; f The five little Princes of Feliitowe won an nearts by their unaffectPrt .boyish manners, but, now that they are gone, no one speaks of them villi greater affection than the donkey-b ,r t w, nuu, every uiternoon, proudly iix utmiiu 111s inree neetest donkeys. xux,u auvsuuvu tjj fc 11 LUIS lUU lU J isanor isuit. Tiie Urown Prince par ticularly Deg-ged that his donke? should be a "kicker," and it was a prct tV sight to see the dear little fellows gal loping along the sands and taking the wooden breakwaters at full speed. Ai an instance of their kindness of heart I may tell you that, on the occasion 01 tne Dirtnday to which you referred in your paragraph, seeing "Joe" pa their windows they rushed out with a plateful of birthday cake, which they insisted on his taking away. "Too rich for me," said Joe afterwards. I could only eat a little bit of it." An other day, when riding, the Crowu Prince, trying to urge his donkey to a faster gallop, caught "Joe" a good hit across his foiehead. He was j distressed at having hurt him that lia was reduced tu tears, and it was some time before h? could be comforted, re peatedly begging Joe to forgive him. They wanted him UP go back to (J r many with them, but this Joe refused to do, and If you ask him the reast.u he says he does not like "going so far from home." The little fellows bathed whenever it was fine, and swam well. Or-j could not help a feeling of astonish ment to s?c the way they were al lowed to bathe without any ropcj and no one in the water with them. One day as the donkey boy was lean ing against their gate, the policemaa tried to push him away. At that, moment the Empress happened to come up, and, noticing this, she held up her hand and said to the policemaa in her pretty English: "You leave the poor boy alone!" At another timj Joe was on the beach, and to his sur prise the Empress went up and shook hands with him. He says: "I never felt so ashamed in my life! Why, be fore every one and there must hsva been over 200 people there. I didn't know which way to look!" It was pretty to see the Empress sitting on Hhe beach surrounded by her fire boys. They seemed devoted to their mother, iand were constantly running up ta her, putting their arms round her neck. A Wild Duck' ForUojfbL "W. Prentis, of Uainhara, EnglatA describes an interesting case of a will duck's forethought. A mowing ma chine was set to work round the out side of a field of lurerne bordering a marsh, diminishing the circle each time round the field, leaving aboui two acres in the center. A wild duck was seen by the shepherd to fly from the piece of lucerne that was left with something in her beak, and, happening to fly near him, dropped a three-parts incubated egg. She was again observed by the shep herd, and also by the sheep-shearer, carrying another egg in her beak, this time over the marsh wall toward thd saltings; and again she was seen for the third time to carry an egg in her beak in the same direction. 2extd2y, when the field 7?as finished by tha removal of the last piece of lucerne, the wild duck's nest, from which tha eggs had been removed, was discov TO ALL, POINTS North, South and Southwest.
