A Wonderful Clock. - - - - A German of Cincinnati has invented a clock - which, though much smaller than the celebra? ted one at Strasbourg, is, from its/ description, much more complicated. We see, in a glass case, a three-story, steeple-shaped clock, four *" feerwide at the first story anH*~hine~feet high.! The movement is placed in the first story, on four delicate columns, within which swings the pendulum. The second story consists of two tower-like pieces, on the doors of which there are two pictures that represent boyhood and early manhood. A tower crowns, as third story, the ingenious structure. A cock, as a symbol ot watchfulness, stands on the top, di? rectly over the portal. When the clock marks the first quarter the door of the left piece of the second story opens, and a child issues from the background, comes forward to a little bell,1 gives it one blow, and then disappears. At the second quarter a youth appears, strikes the bell twice, and then disappears; at the third there comes a man in his prime; at the fourth we have a tottering old man, leaning on a staff, who strikes the bell four times. Each time the door closes of itself. When the. hours are full.JJb.e door of the righk.pie.ce_of the second story opens, and. Death, as a skeleton, scythe in hand, appears, j and macks the hour by. striking a bell. But it is at the twelfth hour that we. nave the grand spectacle in the representation of the day of judgment. Then when Death has struck three blows on the top of the little bell, the cock on the top of the tower suddenly flaps his wings and crows in a shrill tone; and after Death has marked the twelfth hour with his hammer! the-cock crows again twice. Immediately three angcis,' who stand as guardians in a central pr sit ion, raise their trumpets in their right hands (in the left they hold swords) and blow a blast towards each of the four quarters of the earth. At the hist blast the door of the tower opens, and the resurrected children of earth appear, while the destroying angel sinks out of sight. Then, suddenly Christ descends, surrounded by an? gels. On his left there is an angel who _ holds the scales of justice, on his right another car > ties the Book of Life, whicb'opens to showlrne alpha and omega?the beginning and the end. Christ waves his hand, and instantly the good among the resurrected are separated from the 'ivieke-d. the former going to the right, and the latter to the left. The Archangel Michael 'salhtes* the goodj w.hile on the other side stands the devil, radiant with fiendish delight?he can hardly wait fot the final sentence of those who fall to him, but. in obedience to the command of the central figure, he withdraws. The figure of Christ raises its hand again; with: a tbFeatenidfi^mien, and the acc?rsed^ink aown to the realms of his Satanic majesty.? Then Christ blesses the chosen few, they draw near to him. Finally, we hear a cheerful chime of bells, during which Christ rises, sur] rounded by his angels, until he disappears and vlhftiwrtal cloaej.-. . )r ??? ?:'-'{ A complete.drama is here represented, with? out the aid of a human hand. The movements are steady, calm and noiseless, with the excep tion of the threatening gestures of the figure of Christ..'and. the movements of Lucifer, who darts across the scene with lightning rapidity] Of course, the peculiar action of these two fig-j urea, is intentional.on the part; of the artist, and adds greatly to tb$ effect. , ' . ? A Practical Encouragement to iMin-i oration.?The people -of :Maine are'Higjfljj delighted with the;result of their, efforts X(i it\ "tract Swedish 'immigrants to 'that 8tatc by affording aid to them on their arrival and until they are able to get a return for their labor, whao the assistance rendered them-is repaid by. labor on works of public.improvement.. There are how one thousand three hundred Swedish] settlers within the borders of the State, who have paid their own passage to this country, and brought hither sixty thousand dollars in money. In the colony of New Sweden, situa? ted in the thinly settled northern portion of the State, there are now cue hundred good houses and eighty-eight barns. Each settler has from five to twenty acres of land cleared, and the colony has two steam mills for making, shingles and a saw mill run by water. Thirty miles of roads have been out through the woods, and a school has been established for the instruction of children. The amount of aid-rendered by the State has been a little over twenty thousand dollars, of which four thou? sand two hundred and seventy eight dollars has! been repaid by work on tho .roads. -The re? mainder, about sixteen thousand dollars, .will be repaid hereafter by the immigrauts in work on State improvements. This plan should be considered among the many others that have been suggested to at? tract immigration to Georgia. It seems to be a well settled proposition that some special in? ducement, other than that presented by fertile soil and a passing healthy climate, must be held out to immigrants, if we desire to oceom-. plish anything in that direction. A ship-load of pamphlets and newspapers, descriptive of the vast and varied resources of Georgia, scat? tered abroad by the most oily-tongued corps of immigration agents that could by possibility be secured, would, so far as changing the tide of immigration in this direction, be little less than a waste of the raw material, if the argu? ment be not sustained by the offer of material inducements calculated to interest the immi? grant in its consideration.?Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. ? "Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long," is a libel, Josh Billings asserts. "Man wants everything he can see or hear ov, and never is willing to let go of his grab. Whenever yu find a man who is thor? oughly satisfied with what he has got, yu will find either an idiot, or one who has tried hard to get some more and couldn't do it. The older a man grows the more wantful he be kunis; as hiz hold on life slackens, hiz pinch on a dollar grows grippy." A Romantic Marriage. Quite a romantic marriage recently took place between a wealthy bachelor of George? town, D.C., and the woman whose hand he had eagerly but vainly sought in his j outh.? Fifteen years ago Miss ?, the daughter of an officer of the Government, was a beautiful, fresh young girl, admired and sought after at the capital Dy many suitors, and one, a Mr. -, of Georgetown, was so sincere in his devotion to her that she could not but accord to him the highest measure of her regard, al? though she gave her heart and hand to an? other. So deeply rooted was her esteem for the rejected lover, that, when her first child, a eon, was born, she gave him the name she had refused to accept for herself. Her husband was an army officer, and was killed fighting on the Southern side in the second year of the re? bellion, and his widow retired to a certain city out West and lived in quiet and retirement with her child. Last summer the boy, twelve years old, sickened and died. The wealthy bachelor of Georgetown saw the death of hie namesake in a newspaper, and it was the first news he had had in many years of the woman he had wooed and lost. He determined to write and renew the offer he had so unsuccess? fully made fifteen years ago. He wrote and offered himself and all his possessions, on the condition that he was to receive for an answer a decided yes or no. In due time an answer came. The widow said she was much changed by the lapse of years, and more still by her cares and afflictions. She had lost her cheer? fulness, beauty, all that had once made her at? tractive ; still, if what remained of her former self was worth having, then her dear old friend was welcome to the wreck, and in six weeks he might come to see her and the wedding day should, be fixed. The "dear old friend" had waited too long to brook-even a day's unneccessary delay, so the next train after the receipt of the letter carried him to the home of his beloved in the West. He found the lady very much unprepared to receive him ; she had not a tooth in her head, and "because h"er,mouth was being prepared for a false set she had postponed the visit for six weeks. But the ardent lover wouldn't wait for the teeth, and so the twain were made one in spke of this little drawback. They are now living in Georgetown, happy and prosperous, and not. even toe teeth are wanting to enable the wife to enjoy all the good things offered for l^otectlsg the Finances.?Representa? tive Cocbran, from Anderson, has introduced an important bill entitled "a bill to regulate the deposit of State, county and other funds." Tbe bill first proposes to repeal section 46, chapter 20, title 5 of the General Statutes, "that all moneys paid into the Circuit or Pro? bate Courts, or received by the officers thereof in causes pending therein shall be immediately deposited in some incorporated bank, State or National, within the circuit," or if there be no such bank, then the nearest bank. In lieu of this the bill provides that all moneys received by officers of the courts shall be deposited in a bank or banks designated by a State Financial Board; to be composed of the Governor, Comp? troller General, State Treasurer, Attorney Gen? eral and the Judge?of the circuit in which the monies may be. The bill further requires the officers of the courts to immediately deposit all monies com? ing into their hands as directed by the board, and also to publish a weekly statement of all receipts and payments. The banks on receiving the said funds are to deposit with the Comptroller General securities to the value of eighty per cent, of the deposit, and also; to give'a bond in the penal sum of $100,000 for the safe keeping of the funds en? trusted to them. The Comptroller General is to be inquired to publish a monthly statement of these transactions, and ten days' notice must .be given the banks of the withdrawal of any of the funds. The bill provides that the same board (except the Circuit Judge) shall designate a bank for the deposit, of all county funds, in which the treasurer shall deposit all moneys in the same manner and with the same safeguards. Said county funds to-.be drawn only on the order of the county Commissioners. The same board shall also designate a bank or .batiks in which the State Treasurer shall . deposit all moneys received by him, which shall riot be drawn except on the Treasurer's oheck countersigned by the Governor. -The State Treasurer shall also publish a monthly statement of all bis financial transac? tions iii detail. All the banks receiving these moneys shall pay 6 per cent, interest on all of said deposits. Failure to comply with the law is made a misdemeanor, punishable with fine and impris? onment;? Columbia Union. Refunding the Cotton Tax.?The Wash? ington Chronicle says: The development of the the splirj strength of the movement, for refund? ing the cotton tax^has naturally excited much remark and comment. . .The entire unity of the Cotton States, has completely answered the ob i'ection that.it is simply a speculation in the lands of lawyers and lobbyists. The weightiest objection in the view of the opponents of the ?bill is that a large portion of the claims for re? bate of tax is in the hands of lawyers. To this it is replied that three-fourths of the claims before the Court of Claims and before Congress are to-day in the hands of lawyers who are prosecuting them for contingent fees?that is, for a per centage of the proceeds in case of success. If the cotton tax claims are to be re? jected on 'this ground, letjdl these other claims be set aside at once-for, rthe same reasou. If these are not dismissed/then the claims for re? funding; this tax ought not to be. "The"fact that this claim is a large one makes no difference. The aggregate of all those other claims which are being prosecuted for contin? gent fees is a much larger sum. If this prac {brokeu down by establishing a rule against it, and enforcing the rule in every case. The Government must then provide and pay attor? neys for claimants who have not the ready money with whicb to pay counsel, as is done in criminal cases. Until this is done, say the friends of this bill, the above argument has not a feather's weight against the refunding of the tax. But the amount is very large. To this the advocates of the measure reply, "the equity, not the amouut, of the claim is the point to be considered. A just debt is not the less just be? cause it is large." The United States has had the use of this mouey from four to seven years without interest. . The claimants propose to take in payment bonds which give forty years more in which to pay it. This surely gives the United States .more advantage than any fair minded creditor could ask. The constitutional argument will give rise, probably, to vigorous and interesting debate.? This, the friends of the bill attiring is exactly what they want, aud that they have no fear of this result. ? A young lady has written a song in which she asks: "How can I tell him I love him no more?" There are several ways in which the information may be imparted. For instance, if thoyoung lady lives in Philadelphia, and the young man who she doesn't love any more resides in New York, she might telegraph him, charges to be collected ; or, if she is not in a dreadful hurry for him to hear the sad words, she might leave it until she visits Now York; or she could write; or she might employ her big brother to go and tell him; or, if both live in the same city, she might call around after tea, and bribe his sister to tell him; or?but there are so many ways, that doubtless some of them have occurred to' her ere this. ? "You say," said a judge to a witness, "that the plaintiff resorted to an ingenious use of circumstantial evidence; state just exactly what you mean by that."

"You'd better look out for your hoss' feet above here, mister," said a ragged boy to a traveler. "Why?" said, the gentleman, nerv? ously pulling up. "Cos there's a fork in the road there," was the candid reply. ? A gentleman at Lancaster, Pa., has a horse that takes his children to school in the miming, returning home driverless; and at night returns for them in the same way, rub? bing his nose against the window-pane to indi? cate his presence. He is ahead of "Mary's little lamb." ? "You are the dullest boy I ever saw," crossly exclaimed a bald-headed old uncle to hU nephew. "Well, uncle," replied the youth, with a glance at the old gentleman's bald-head, "can't expect me to understand things as quickly as you do, because you don't have the trouble of getting 'em through your hair." ? Caldwell, the United States Senator elect from Kansas, who is on trial on the charge of having secured his election by bribery, said, after he had succeeded, that the contest had cost him $80,000, but that he expected to be reimbursed by the railroad companies. ?

They de? rive this name from the circumstance that each person invited is requested so furnish a pound of pastry, confectionery, fruit, or other edibles for the table, and thus an elegant supper is provided. The parties are given at private residences. ? Westward the epizootic takes it way. A telegram from Wyoming Territory announces that it has reached Rawlins, and has occasioned great inconvenience to the traveling communi? ty in that locality. It seems as if this equinal disorder is destined to run its course through? out, the length and breadth of the country, and will not cease its ravages until it has tried the constitution of the breed of horse flesh. ? The Lancaster Republican tells this story : rtA gentleman not a thousand miles from here, not having a classical education, always en? trusts the reading of his store bills to his better half, who, when she comes to items of female apparel, which she dosen't wish her husband to understand, calls them "tobacco and other Sroceries." But a short time since he was eurd telling the storekeeper that bis tobacco bil's were getting enormous and that he must leave off using it or it would kill him. The, habit, he thought, was rapidly increasing." ? One of the most profitable as well as in? teresting kinds of business for a woman is the care of bees. In a recent agricultural report it is Btated that one lady bought four hives for ten dollars, and in five years she was offered one.thousand five hundred dollars for her stock, and refused it as not enough. In addition to thi? increase of her capital, in one of these five years she sold twenty-two hives and four hun arei and twenty pounds of honey. ? The Richmond Enquirer thinks the "best way to get out of our present embarrassed con? dition would be for every farmer to come to a fixed determination to buy no more finery for his daughters on credit, to* make his sons sup? port themselves, to hire but few laborers on bis farm, (no more than are necessary in connec: tior with the family labor,) to sell all the land thai he cannot conveniently cultivate, and get out of debt as rapidly as possible." ? ?A recent writer believes there are only three things needed to bring about the millen? nium.: First, a motive power to do all the work of steam, but require no fuel; second, ajrial navigation, by. which geographical and political boundaries will be obliterated, and the whole world become one nation; and third, che nical food, to be made in the laboratory without either animal or vegetable substances, and produced so cheaply that want will bo unheard of. What Is the "Credit Mobtlier?"?This question continues to be asked, in spite of the rew ?ted explanations already given. The in? side history of that combination, which availed itself of an old act of incorporation passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature, and organized under the French financial designation now so notorious, is related in an affidavit of one of its members, Dr. Thomas C. Durant, of which the following is a brief summary : When the Union Pacific road was under construction a "ring" was formed inside the direction, embracing, as such a combination always does, the shrewdest, most active, and least scrupulous of the Board, for the purpose of. making large fortunes for its members in an illegitimate manner, at the cost of the road and of the unsuspecting stockholders. As usual, the object was to be achieved by means of construction contracts. Through the votes of the "ring" the work was to be awarded in a lump to some dummy contractor, at a price double or more than double the cost, with a fair profit added; for, as a great many capa cioun appetites had to be satisfied, an ample margin was necessary. The contractor was theu to make over the contract to the "ring" Directors, in the capacity of stockholders of the Credit Mobilier, the pretense being that the Credit Mobilier had the means to pusti the work vigorously forward, and would he better able to do so than any single individual. In pursuauce of this conspiracy?for it was noth? ing else?the contract for the construction of a I largo portion of the road at fifty thousand dol ! lars a mile was awarded and duly assigned to the "ring"?a price which, according to Dr. Duraut's statement, was more than double the legitimate cost of the work. This, however, was rot enough. By the votes of the conspira? tors many miles of the road which had already been constructed and accepted by the United States Government as complete, and which had nearly all been paid for by the Union Pacific Company, were included in the contract at fifty thousand dollars a mile, and thus an enor ! mous amouut of money was taken bodily, as it ? were, out of the pockets of the stockholders, I without a shadow of justification, and trans I fcrred to the greedy grasp of the ring. The sharcH of the Credit Mobilier were thus made at once worth from eight to ten times their face value?that is to say, a single thousand dollar i share was worth from eight to ten thousand 1 dollar* in cash. ' Corruption in High Places. The Christian knows that the world is bad enough. He knows it from his own experience, and from observation, and from the Bible which he accepts as the Word of God. He knows that there is none good, that all are corrupt, that there is no moral soundness in our race since the fall. He is often over? whelmed at the thought of his own wickedness as well as the wickedness of others. But just now our country is having such an exhibition of the depravity o'f human nature as ought to convince the most incredulous that there is a deep seated and wide spread moral disease pre? vailing among our race. Crime, high handed and bare faced, is lifting its head, not only in the alleys and purlieus of society, but in the highest and most sacred places. In our own land, how is it? In the South, perhaps, the world scarcely expects any thing better. Where ignorance, such as we have among us, holds the reins of government, and avarice and lust guide in the affairs of State, certainly not much ought to be expected. No wonder that confusion aud anarchy reign. No wonder that violence and blood-shed are seen every day in our streets, and are making the land to mourn. No wonder that in Arkansas and Louisiana and Alabama and Carolina, black is declared to be white and white black ?that all proper distinctions of right and wrong are well righ obliterated. No wonder that Governors come out of the mud and mire of-society, reeking with the stench of the pit from whence they have been brought. No wonder that money will buy a passport to the United States Senate. These things, we say, are to be expected while things remain as they -pre with us. This, however, does not change the fact, does not improve the condition of things. It ought to excite alarm. It ought to secure for us help. If there is any patriotism left; if there is any love of country in the land, if there is any statesmanship any where, here is a field where victory may be won and glory achieved. ft But in places where better things ought to be expected, we are having every day exhibi? tions of corruption and immorality that are enough to awaken the fears of good men every where. The Northern papers are filled with stories of murder, and theft and bribery, and corruption in every form, iu the town and in the country, in public places and in private places, among the rich and the poor, among the noble and the ignoble, until the heart sickens at the recital. Just now the United States Senate is en? gaged in trying a member from the Northwest who is charted with buying his seat in that body, and the proof seems to be clear and con? clusive, and the New York Herald says, that probably fifty out of the seventy-two United States Senators have secured their seats in the same way. The Herald is not very good authority we admit, but when it raises such a cry, the case must be bad indeed. How much longer can it be said, "the Eepublic lives !"? A, Jt. Presbyterian. ? Mark Twain is in favor of annexing the Sandwich Islands. He says: "We must annex those people. We can afflict them with our wise and beneficient government, We can in? troduce the novelty of thieves, all the way up from street car pickpockets to municipal rob? bers aud government defaulters, and show them how amusing it is to arrest them and try them, and then turn them aloose?some for cash and some for 'political influence.' We can make them ashamed of their simple aud primitive justice. We can do away with their occasional hangings for murder." ?
