Applied practically in observation, all the above cal

to the exact Hint! and point of the commencement of

Let the spectator, while looking at the declining

from top to bottom, and another through the middle
from right to left, as if It were to be Hllee 1 Into

the person must be facing to the went, his right
sand wUl be towards the north-will be so dog., and
the lowermost point 10 dog. .Midway between the
latter two points may be inserted V-V deg. ; at
thin point practically the llrsl obscuration will
be visible. The line or shade will eret p gradually
up over the disc of the sun, covering the lower limb
regularly In its progress. At Its greatest, obscura
tion, about. eleven-twelfths of the sun s surracc will
be darkened, ami the small rim itiiobseurod will be
the upper section of Its disc. As the sun sets to-day
at 7-fi, about ten minutes will elapse between the
ending of the eclipse mid the sinking of the sun,
giving time for gay-tinted clouds and the beautiful
twilight, should the weather permit.
Fuirmount, Park will doubtless have thousiiniH or
visitors, sis the nflenioon bids lair to be a delightful
one, and the rolling grourd will (live excellent
points for observations. We would caution nil to
guard their eyes, mid to avoid striining or overtax

oinc parts more deeply tluMi In others, to suit the
varying intensity of the sun's rays daring the pro
gress Of the eclipse, Will enable the observer to see
most, of the phenomena. In th city It will be easy
to procure pieces of the red or ruby-tinted glass, of
different, shades or depths from mosl of the glaziers,
which may be used with advautage, instead of the
smoked glass. Those who can command a good
pera-glass, or small telescope of any kind, provided
with a shade plss to screen the eye, will of course
have a better view.
To those whose eyes require caution in using, ami
ethers for variety sake, it will pay to take a Unh eard
with a small round hole m the centre, itud hold
it against the sun's rays, so that the shadow will fall
on the floor, pavement, wall, or other dark and
smooth surface. In the middle of the shadow there
will be a true limine of the sun, and the. eclipse can
be studied in Its process withoul straining the eyes,
and without, smutting lace or hands wilh .smoked
glass.

A sum of money in go! I was also found in the

lU'prosentative Clarke's conference with the

Indian Bureau. The treaty complained of was
made May 'J7, ISfiS, and by its terms the Osaires
agreed to sell about, S,(X)U,000 acres of their land
in Kansas for I. MO, 000 to the Leavenworth,
Lawrence, and (ialveston Kailroad (Joinpany,
and to remove and settle in the Indian couutry
south of Kansas. Iniiiiediately after the
negotiation of the treaty, strenuous
efforts were made to prevent its
ratification, and Mr. Clarke appeared quite pro
minent in the movement. So far the attempt
has succeeded, and the treaty is still awaiting
the final action of the Senate. The agents who
negotiated the treaty, iu a report submitted,
agree that the Indians were disappointed when
the treaty failed to he ratilied. r rom present
indications, Mr. Clarke w ill not meet with much
encouragement when he eouics here with his
report.

For some monthn prior to the assembling of the

disappeared lrom this city on We luesd.iy night,
alter paving, us Is allege, ley Ills creditor!!, borrowed
from tiiem over I ;o,ihiii. His credit among the busi
ness men of the same religious beliet was tin
bounded, even to tin? iiny of hts departure, and no
suspicions of the real slate of Mifairs existed
among them, until Ins sudden disappearance be
came know n ycstcp'ay morning, when it was found
that within the past, fortnight ho had borrowed
to the above amount of din'oreiit, parties, giving each
to tinders'aiid that, he had no other IndeblednesH. In
each Instance he proposed fi give a mortgage on
certain houses' and lands, tint an investigation ut the
Court l ouse yesletilay revealed tue fact that, ho had
already mortgaged his real estate, vaitied at g24,llisi.
for some Hiliiiiu more than It, was worth, or course
the re was ureat excitement atnotu hU creditors, one
of whom, Mr. Mendel Sauuitls, had loaned him
f KM) but a few days go. He was apparently doittir
a very pood business, and some transact ions in real
estate which he had recently made were Known to
have been quite fortunate. Hence, when the fact
that, he had iibsconded oceanic known, the indigna
tion of his duped creditors knew no bounds, and
"swindler," "rascal," etc.. were leely uttered iu con
nection with his name, tif Mr. Metidcl Samuels, it
Is alleged, lie had borrowed (foiim), id Charles Uode-

sums, from f loeuto S;;ihiii.
In consequence of the excitement which existed
among the creditors yesterday, no steps were iken
to secure the twin worth ol goods remaining In the
store, and during last night thev were all removed
it is alleged, under tho orders of Mrs. Mavbaum and
n clerk. Jo-dav, however, the Interested parties
have said less and performed more, and it Is pretty
generally thotiirht thai, .Mayb-ium will oe arrested by
detectives, w ho have been sent in pursuit of him, as
there is good reason for believing that he went
directly to Chicago. No trace of the goods has yet
been found, but hopes are express.-d thai they too
will lie secured.

The Chicago 'Viec.i has the billowing:
"IL has already been announced tliroimh Hie daily
papers of this city that the late Joseph M. H ike had
insurance policies upon his lib: to u very laig.i
amount, Jl-li),U(iu being the total sum in winch he
was insured. ( if this J-.'SOO was made out Iu favor of
his brother, Mr. Moses W. Hake, who was at the
time of Joseph Hake's death a clerk In a store in Ha
eluc, Wis. Slioi'tiy aller Ihe death of Hi t latter
Moses came to Chicago, and was paid
the full amount que to him by the
agent of the company in which Ins brother had
been Insured, th tin; money received by . Mr. H ike,
Jhtio was in fractional currency, an.l the remainder
in two drafts upon a New York bank for JUliui each.
This occurred a few days ago. On ihe same night
that the money was received Mr. Hake visiied the
gambling house of John lhmaldson, near tho corner
of liandolpii and liearborn streets, lleiirst invested
the tMn worth of currency, mid soon lost that; and
then, endorsing one of the drafts, he purchased a
quantity .if 'chips,' and began again. These ohecks
soon melted away; and lu; then went through the
same operation with the remainingdrafi, and linnlly
lost that also. He was now about us well on" as wtleu
he left liaclne. nml accoidingly took himselt out of
the tlen lo ruminate upon his gulllhilty.
"The two drafis were dcposili.-d the next day in
the Kill h National Hank or this city, but some ol
Mr. Hake's friends had heard of his loss, and inter
fered to prevent payment. They telegraphed to New
ork, oiiiering that ihe papersliould not be cashed
until the matter was legally sen led. and then ap
pealed tn Commissioner Titsworlh, of the Hoard ot
Police, for further advice and counsel.
"t he result, is that regular procecdlnas have been
instituted in the county couri to rccain the drafts.
and, although five hundred dollars of the bequest has
iicen swaiiowco, ir. remains to lie proven wlielfier
the law will sanction the pouring of the remaining
two thousand dollars iiuo the same abyss."

Pioiuineiil Tennessee Kopublicniis, supporters o

that Secretaries Koutwell and Crcswcll s letters In
dorsing stokes have conti ibuted largely to the pro
babilities oi .loniisim s election io ine I lllteil States
Seuate. These letters of endorsement had the citcct
of exasperating those Ji'epublicaiis who sup
ported Scnter in good faith upon the plallorm and
principles enunciated by the Chicago convention.
Thev assert that they luive always, iu connection
Willi Scnter, stood, and now staud, upon that plat
oiiii, while Itoutwell and Crcswell have sought to
ignore It so far as the franchise question is con
cerned. These Pepublicans say that Andrew John
son anil his lricnds were shrewd enough to take ad
vantage of the fact that these two Cabinet oillcers
were arraying tho administration against the most
prominent of Grant's supporters in Tennessee, uud
that therefore they were to ne whipped In
like a set of curs upon the caprice or am
bitious aspirants for the Presidential succes
sion in 1872. It being well understood that
Andrew Johnson would be the most obnoxious
person to (ieneral (Irani and his Cabinet that, could
be sent from Tennessee to the I'nited States Senate,
a sympathy for Johnson's success iu that regard has
been aroused on the part of prominent conserva
tives, who would otherwise have opposed him, Willi
strong probabilities of success. This sympathy for
Mr. Johnson has also been materially heightened
from the fact that (ieneral (irunt has neglected or
refused to contradict or qualify the terms of these

leading citizens. ,T. M. Richards, President of the
Jtoard of Trade, presided. Speeches wen? made by
Mr. Richards. Alderman Wicker, Hon. N. II. .ludd,
A. (i. Could, of San Francisco, Joseph Medill, of the
Tribniu; uud Chaychou. The speech of the latter
was a gem. It was as follows: Dleveu years ago I
came from my home lu China to seek my future in
your great republic. I landed on the golden shore of
California ut telly ignorant of your language, unknown
to your people, a si ranger to your customs, and In
the iu 1 in Id of some an intruder on that race, and also
my preser.ee deemed a positive Injury to the public,
prosperity ; but, gentlemen 1 found both kindness
and Justice; I found that Instead of the prejudice
which had been lormed against us there Mowed a
deep, broad stream ot popular equality ; that the
hand of friendship was extended to the people of
every nation, ami that even Chinamen might live, be
happy, and successful, and respected in America.
(Aim lattse.)
I gathered knowledge in your public schools. I
learned to speak as you do, read and write as you
do, to act and think us you do, and, gentlemen, l re
joice that 11 is so, that I have been able to cross the
vast conliuciit without an interpreter applause),
tlial here, iu the heart of the I niled States, 1 can
spiak to you In your own familiar speech, tell you
how very much I appreciate your hospitality (ap
plause"), how grateful I lcel for Die privileges and ad
vantages 1 have enjoyed iuyour glorious country,
and how earnestly I hope that your example, enter
prise, energy, and national generosity may bo seen
and undcrr-lood. 1 e and understand If, as, by our
(loveriimenl. ( pplaiisc.)
Mr, burliniiaiiie ha I done much to promote good
feeling in China towards ihe American nai ion. lie
had made himself well acquainted with the authori
ties lu Pekm, and had won their conlldence lo a re
markable degree. He is an excellent man, and I be
lieve. If his advice Is received and aided upon, china
will soon be the cordial friend of all the commercial
powers of the earth. Already we are doing some
thing In the way of progress ami modern Improve
