The iuliruiiiie- of age hid for some time lieen fasti-ning thetn-e'ves upon Mr. Duffy, buthe xxas a man of wonderful energy and will power, and he was up dtid about up to f'atiirilav mornir.g. Mr. Duffy xxas a native of Kingston, Dublin county, Ireland, and xxas one of a family ofi hi rteen nine lumbers and four sisters. They came to Xew Berne with their father Dr. Chas Duffy, (formerly a surgeon in the British Xavy) in 18:35. Mr. Ii. X. Duffy then being not quite grown. Mr. Duffy's faiher lieel about fixe yeais alter coming to ibis country and then he learned the profession of druggist uneler an older br-. tin r. Soon afte r the California gold excitement was raised he went there but returned in 1855 and was then again with his brother Dr. F. S. Duffy until the ombieak of the war. As a member of the Athens Home guards he participated in the battle of New Beine, and afterwards he went to Rutherfoidton. X'. C and remained until the close of the war xx-ith his distinguished physician brother Dr. Thomas S. Duffy who in 1876 xvas selected to represent the Stale of North Carolina at the World's congress ot physicians at the Centennial Exposi tion. At the close of the war Mr. Duffy re turned to Xew Berne and established a druggist business of his own at the mark et wharf Here he remained quietly at tending to his business at all hours and wns quite successful. He af'eiwaids purchased the large and ndmiinbly located building on the northwest corner of Pol lock and Middle strets and moved into the more commodious quartets of ils corner store. Four or five years ago a lire occurrid which partially destroyed the slore aud ruined his -tiKk. and ns he was getting old he ne ver regularly entend busim s again, though he continued still to handle specialties to the last, among which was the well-knoxvn Duffy Croup Syrup. Mr. Duffy xvas, until late years, a reg ular attendant at the Presbyterian hurch aud he continued ids tegular and liberal contributions after his accustomed place iu the sanctuary xvas necessarily vacant. Mr. Dully was a man of strong attach ments and generous impulses. If he liked a man, he was almost blind to his faults, and xvas ever ready to do him a favor He xvas a man of indomitable en ergy, xvas the soul of honor in business transactions, and scrupulously exact in pax ing anything he owed. He had mingled but little in public affairs but such a man is of great value in any coni muniiy. A good and useful citizen has depait-il who served well lis day and generation. Out of all his brothers and sisters, but one remains that is our townsman Mr. Sjtn'l 3. Duffy. He has many nephews und other '-datives. It may bo w ell and interesting to men tion that though Mr. Duffy was a native of Ireland, he is a descendant of one of the oldest Xew Berne families. Mr. Stiuger Mcllwean, who came here dirictly alter the settlement of X'ew Berne io 1710, was ancestor of his mother nee Miss Ewzalieth Stinger, who went to Ireland with her father when nearly grown, on account of his inheriting an estate there, and thus his father and mother met and mnrrieel and it xx as at her request that the father and children came over to Xew Berne and made Ihis their home. THE ECLIPNESl XDAY MttHT. Observation Slightly Interfered With by Clonds. bat an Interesting View Obtained Nevertheless. Remarks. Sunday night was a little Jcloudy, con sequently it was cot one onne nest ior un serving an eclipse 1-ut a performance of this character is never postponed "on ac count of the weather so all who were interested watched closelv and were re warded for their trouble by a fairly good obscrx-atiou of the eclipse. A part of the time it was partially obscured bv ihe clouds but there xvas a good portion of the time when the view wasquite satisfactory. At the time it was at its best, between ten and eleven o'clock, it xvas fine. Tne liast number of eclipses that can occur in a year is two, ootn ot wnteii must be of the sun. The greatest number in a ver is seven, which can lie five of ihe sun and two of the moon, or four of the sun and tlree of the moon. But yet it iss seldom tint the inhabi tants of any one portion of the earth's surface get an opportunity to viexv a total eclipse of e ither the sun or moon that one never tails to attract attention Irom tne masses of the people as well a from scientific men everywhere. As nearly all our re nli is Know, eclipse ol the moon is caused simply the shadow of the i arth thrown upon moon by the eatth's coming between sun and l In moon; the latter does not an 1 y the the be r-ome whol'v invisible the refraction ef light prevents that and the dull, reddish ,ippi -araace which the moon assumes arises from the refraction of the sun's raxs by the enth's atmosphere. Ihe red color is caused by the absorption of the h'ue rays in passing through the atmos ohere, just as the xvestern sky assumes a ruddy hue when illuminated in the even ing bv the so'ar light. Sometimes ihe moon is rendered very nearly invisible and the degree of distine'iveness in dif ferent eclipses varies considerably ow ing to the dillercnt conditions ot the at mosphere. Tlie earliest recorded eclipse was or.e of the moon 720 B. C. It xxas total at Bal ylon and occured at .bout half past nine, p. m. One fact about eclipses not generally known is that those of both the sun and moon ncur in neaily the same order, and at the same intervals alter the expir ation of eighteen years and ten or e leven days according as there may be four or five hap veal's in this period. This is c riled tne cyc le or period of ec lipses. The eclipse s which occur during 3iie such period being noted, subsequent eclipsei may lie easily predicted; ns tlie'r order is the same, only they are ten or e.even days later in the month and about eiglu nours later in tne uav so mar in one cycle eclipses may be visible ami in tlie next invisible, to a particular place.
