S ‘ The Wonderful Timepiece which ‘Was Twelve Years in Building. . The Cincinnati TippesStar thus deo- scribes a remarkable .éfock which is on exhibition in that city: The mechanism is enclosed in a walnut case twelve feot high and five feet wide, and weighs 2,300 pounds. The general design of its nu- merous figures is te exemplify some of the leading events and characters of American history. it ywasmade by Prof, ‘Wegman at his home, in Frostburg, Md., in his leisure moments, he having been engaged on it for over twelve years. 'he base of the clock is about four feet high. At the top is an astronomical dial two feet in diamater, with figures of the planeta, eto., showing the movements of the sun and earth, the former circling the dial once cach year, and the latter re- volving on its axis once every twenty- four hours. The moon’s phases, the sea- sons, and other familliar astronomical subjects are reprosented, A large flag is carved in the case on each side of the dial, and above them are, at the right a cannon aud at the left a drum, also carved in bas relief. Below the dial is a scroll bearing the inscription, *“E Pluribns Unim,” be- neath which are two crossed swords and a soldier's cap. Immediately above the base of the clock is & stage or platform extending the fall width of the case. On the extrome ends of the platform are small forts, one surmounted by tho figure of a sailor and the other by the figure of asoldier. Be- tween these fortsat the backof the platform and resting against a central upright case areten figures of men, tive being upon one side and five upon the other side of an alcove, in which a pendulum swings, reprosenting ten difforent nationalitic: Every five minutes one of these figures pl.,l!. a tune on a music-box. he contral upright case is 2§ feet high and 4 foet wide. At the top of itisa representation of the Bunker hill monu- ment with an eagle perched upon it with out stretchod wings, The eaglo grasps in his right claw an olive branch and a bun- le of spears, In his left holds a globe, from w[hi:h is suspended the pendulum, forty-nine inches long. At the bottom of the pendulum is a dial with the min utes and hours marked off, and in the cen ter old Father Time and his scythe re- mind the beholder of the fleet passage of tim into the illimitable eternity. Every quarter the eagle calls out in hoarse tones the time, At the left of the Bunker hill monu- ment is a skeleton a foot high grasping a hammer, with which it tolls on a bell the anlcr hours. At the first quarter a door in the upper caso last described flies open, and the famous scene of the throw- ing overboard of a cargo of tea in Boston harbor is reenactes At the second guar ter hour another door is opened, and the “causo of the war of 1812 is displayed by the representation of Englishmen in the conventional scarlet attive invitin, Indian chief to take up arms agaiust the Americans, the palaver being delineated by clear pantomime. In the background are seen British soldiers taking American sailors from their ships. The ringing of the third quarter hour causes another door to open, disclosi Gens. Scott and Taylor en .

After they have all gone by, the emancipator of the down-trodden race, President Lin- coln, comes along, and seeing the unhap- py,on of Ham, udvancas to him, loosons 18 shackels and leads him away. In addition to the airs that are played overy five minutes the period is also marked by the passaze across the stage of figures which pass from the fort at the right and dissappear through the portals of the one on the left. First comes Brig- ham Young and one of his wives, who are supposed tv he on their wedding tour. Next comes Gen. Grant on horse-back; then a hand bearing the penknife with which Prof. Wegman carved out all the figures of the clock; then the fig- ure of a man reprosenting a manager who rendered matters unpleasant for the prof- fossor at one time; then the figures of Garfield and Guiteau as they appeared at the moment of the assassination; then Guiteau's deity who carries a sign *‘Cranks Wanted;” then the Indian chieftain, Cap- tain Jack, and finally the historical ves- sel, the Mayflower. Only one of these figures pass around at each interval of five minutes, The clock is operated by two springs twenty feet long and three inches wide, having a lifting power of eight hundred pounds. ——— LEXION POWDER.

Bill Nye in the Free Pross. A very sad thing occurred at a late performance given at Laramie City. At the close of the last act one of the prin- cipal performers is instantly killed. It is then the duty of the audience to rise, pick up its umbrella and walk home. Sometimes, however, the audience is not familiar with the play and don't go home. It waits for more death and carnage be fore its awful thirst for blood is glutted. That was the caseat Laramie two weeks ago. The stage hired man, who hauls the dead off into the dressing room, waited ly, but the people would not norder to get the full value of their dollar they desired to seo the post mor tem examination. They c«)ul\} not go home until it had been settled that villian was fully and thoroughly dead, There he lay with his ear against a ker oseno footlight, sutfering at 89 per week, and the audience absolutely refusing to go home and allow the man to revive or requiescat in pace. The curtain, though loaded at the bottom with a telegraph pole, failed to come down, and the logs of the avenger and other members of the troupe flitted past the space left by the unruly curtain, and the dead villin lay on his back, having yielded up his lifo four times that same week in the same manner, besides carrying the heavy nks of the beautiful actress up two tlights of stairs for her in three ditferont towns. As there were no programmes people looked at each otherand wondered. They fresh one or not was the quostion, Finally two adultmembersof the troupe came forward and pulled down the re- fractory curtain. Then the manager ad- vanced to the front of the stage, and, in a voice choked with emotion, said: ““Ladies and gentlemen, we would be glad to massacre some more of our troupe if we could, but we cannot afford it. In a one stand town one man is about all that we can yield up to the cold embrace of death. Our printing is high and we have to pay $15 for the hall. Therefore, we regret to say that the play is now over. You can go home in safet; and we will attend to the remains. We have only hope that the young man will be able to draw his salary next week, and that we may win him back to joy and health again. He has a good constitu- tion, a fair appetite, and we feel like trusting it all to the future. We regret to see you go, but as the jamtor is now blowing out the lights, and as it is get- ting protty well along into the shank of the evening we must say goodbye to you, hoping that during our absence the Lara- mie opera house company will decide to assess its stockholders, purchase some more wicks for the footlights, put the old piano out of its misery, and stick another pair of overalls into the broken window of the ladies’ dressing roam, so that the the actresses that visit your town will feel more seggregated asit were separated from the great, vulgar world.” e Young Men, Middlo Age Men who suffer f; find Allen’s Bra invige it there is o rastored by Try it; it never fuils, APIARY, On Wint ring Bees. 1 have received many lotters making inquiry as to the best mode of wintering bees. = While I am willing to impart all the knowledge I can through the Apiary Department of the Gazotte, for the benefit of its readers, and especially those who seem anxious to succeed 1n wintering their bees, 1 am fully aware that the same process or plan I might suggest at present would not prove so successful in some localities as it might in others, Hence 1 will daseribe a process which, if followed out, would no doubt prove successful in localitios where the necessity seems to call into practice a plan most easily managed by the greatest number, as well as by those who reside in localities which are usually most severe on the be Having arranged several bee-houses within the last fow years for many who are interested in the welfare of many stocks of bees, and, knowing also how easy it will be to add the extra lumber as well as some extra labor, in order to save the bees during the approaching winter, 1 suggest that the bee stands, or stocks, if you please, shall be set on a close fitting platform or tloor, This may be laid temporarily. On this set your bee stands about six inches apart, leaving about the same space in the front and rear of all the hives, the platform being wide enough to admit of a back and front wall of plan—the back wall to fit down on the platform, and the front to have two-inch blocks and the edge of the board to it closely up to all the hives, which will be in perfect line. Now, your front wall will also rest on the two-inch blocks and form u six-inch space in front of the hives aud the six-inch board will form knew that this man was undoubtedly | the bottom of said space, leaving an open dead, but whether the company had a | entrance to each of the hives, which is formed by means of the two-inch blocks before referred to. Now you have a complete continuous box made around all your hives, and they being spaced about six inches apart, as befere suggested. T will now suggest to you to gather forest leaves, and pack them between and around all the hives. You need not fear getting too many leaves, as the tighter you pack them between and around all your hives the better. I suggest that the back and front walls be raised high enough above the tops of the hives to admit of a heavy layer of leaves on top. You will observe that the bees will have free egress and ingress if fronting toward the East, as the hives should. I am quite sure that all bee-keepers who thus take the trouble to provide their bees with such winter quarters as we have suggested, will not have to wear sad faces on account of losing bees next winter, by the severity of the weather. In case any one not favored with a supply of forest leaves, 1 recommend oats straw as the next best article for packing. This should be free from damp- ness—indeed, perfectly dry—and the packing should be well done, after which I feel assured that the stock will pass through the winter safely on less than ten pounds of honey per colony. The paius will repay the bee-keeper well the little trouble in thus aiding their bees to pass through a cold winter, and come out strong next spring. Barrue Grousn, INp, . M. Hicks.

For a moment Mrs, Clyde was undecid- ed whether to faint or fly for help, but the moans of her wounded husband soon aroused her and she dispatched a servant for a surgeon. “ didn't know it was loaded,” she exclaimed when the surgeon arrived, and then she became hysterical and cried “0h, will he die, doctor? Will he die? James must not die—no, no, no! James must not die. 1 was going to the Catskills with the children, and he was learning me how to protect them and myself when the horrid thing went off. Ch, doctor! doctor! doctor! will he die?” By this time the surgeon had examined the wound, and the expression of his face as he looked up gave her no hope, 1t is an ugly wound,” he said, with- out committing himself further. At this an awful expression crept over her face, and she moaned and cried piti- fully “Will ho be able to speak to me before he dies!” she cried I think not, Mrs, Clyde.’ #Oh! he must! he must! he must! “Be calm, Mrs, Clyde; we will do all can to revive him." You must revive him,” she cried, *‘if only for a minute.
