is happily a rare one The nation will
look with great anxiety for the remedy
which the administration has to propose.
Certainly something ought to be done to
change our revenue system speedily. vi
all the tariffs we have had, the present is
the most crude aud iniudicious in its con-
struction, and any change that may be
made will be almost certain to improve it.
The ether great events of the year have
been the Utah war and the remarkable
progress that has been made in official des-
potism, corruption and Capitalization, as
exemplifed in the severe tests applied,
and extraordinary expedients devised to
force from the organization Of the dem
ocratic party an endorsement of Mr. Buch-
hanan's Lecompton policy. 1t is very
grave question whether the highest interest
of the nation do not imperatively demand
that the legislative branch of the Govern
ment should interpose decided check to
the growing arrogance AMI dictation OF
Presidential power. Do not be surprised
to see an earnest movement in this direc-
ton at the next session. 1t is favorite
old democratic maxim that power is con-
stantly being taken from the hands of the
'aany into the possession of the few
There never was better illustration of this
truism than we have witnessed during the
last year"

GREAT CLock.-Henry c. Wright, in a let
ter TO the Ljbeyotor thus describes the great
clock in the Cathedral of Strasburg:
Z" The priests and military have retired, and
am now sitting in chair facing the gigantic
clock--from the bottom to the top not less than
100 feet and about 30 feet wide and Is deep.
Around me are many strangers waiting to see
the working of this clock as it strikes the hour
of noon. Every eye is upon the clock. 1t now
wants five minutes of twelve. The clock has
struck, and the people are gone, except few
whom the sexton or head man with wand and
sword is conducting round the building. The
clock has struck in this way The dial is some
20 feet from the floor, on each side of which is
a cherub, or little boy, with mallet, and over
the dial is a small bell the cherub on the left
strikes the first quarter, that on the right the
second quarter. Some fifty feet over the dial
in large niche, is huge figure of Time. bell
in his left, scythe in his right hand. In front
stands figure of young man with IA malet
who strikes The third quarter, on the bell in the
hand of Time, and then turns and glides, with
a slow step, round behind Time, comes out an
old man with malet and places himself in
front of him.
AS the hour of twelve comes, the old man
raises his mallet, and deliberately strikes twelve
timeson the bell that echoes through the building
and Is heard all round the region of the church.
The old nan glides slowly behind Father Time,
and the yong man comes on readily to perform
his part, as the time comes round again. Soon
as the old man has struck twelve and disappear
ed, another set OF machinery is put in motion
some twenty feet higher still. 1t is thus there
is high cross. with the image Of Christ on it.
The instant twelve is struck one of the apostles
walks out from behind, comes in front, turns,
facing the cross, bows, and walks on around to
his place As he does SO, another comes out in
front, turns, bows and passes in. So twelve
apostles, figures as large as life, walk round bow
and pass on As the last appears, an enormous
cock perched on the pinnacle of the clock, slow
ly flaps its wings, stretches forth its neck, and
crows three times, so loud as to be heard out
side the church to some distance, and so natu-
rally as to be mistaken for real cock. Then
all is silent as DEATH No wonder this clock is
the admiration of Europe. Itwas made in 1911,
and has performed these mechanical wonders
ever since, except about so years, when it stood
out of repair

DR.. FRANKLIN ABETTING AN ELOPE.
MENT

At recent meeting of the PENNSYLVANIA His
torical Society the talented and efficient Cor
responding Secretary Horatio 6. Jones, Esq,
read letter written by DR.. Joseph X. Swift of
Easton, Pa, relating curious incident in the
life Of Boston's noble son, Benjamin Franklin.
The celebrated painter, Benjamin West, be-
fore he became known to fame fell in love with
Miss Elizabeth Shewel. West was poor the
Shewes were rich Stephen Shewell. the proud
brother of Elizabeth, wished her to marry anoth-
er suitor, which she refused to do. West was
forbidden the house. but Elizabeth continued to
meet him. and they were engaged to he married.
The obstinate brother kept his sister under
lock and key till West sailed for Europe TO pros
ecute his studies. Miss Shewell. however. had
promised to join him in any part of Europe and
marry him, as soon as Mr.. West informed her
Of his ability to maintain her.
The patronage which West met in London
soon justified him in sending for Miss Shewell
to fulfill her promise. He made arrangements
for her to come to him in the same vessel that
conveyed his request to her, and also arranged
that his father should accompany her on the yoy
age.
Miss Shewcll prepared for her departure, but
her brother again confined her to her chamber.
Her brothers tyrannical treatment excited great
Indignation against him, and strong sympathy
for his sister. In this state Of things the late

dy on board took old Mr.. West to the ship,
andwent at midnight to Stephen Shewell's house.
attached the ladder to a window in Miss Shew-
ellis chamber. and got her out and to the YES
sci. which sailed few minutes after she enter
ed it. Mr.. Westwas in waiting for Miss Shew-
ell when she arrived in England, and they were
soon married-Septcmber ., l76j. Neither of
them ever returned to this country. Stephen
Shewell never forgave his sister, and although
she made many efforts to conciatc him, he re-
fused all communication with her.
