The DrunkaId's Dream.

GREAT CLoCG.-!lenry &. Wright, in a
letter /, tue Li5sfator, thus describes the
great clock in the Cathedral Of Sirasburg:
The priests and military have retired,
and ain UOT sitting ia 4 char facing the 81
-antlc cock from the bottom to the top
not less tuan one hundred feet, and about
thirty feet wide and fifteen deep. Around
ine are many strangers waiting 10 see the
working Ui tA!s clock as 1t strikes the hour
OF noon. Every eye iS upon the clock. 1t
now wants five minutes of twelve. The
clock las struck, a.d the people are gone
except few whom the SeXtoa or head man
with "a wand and sword is conducting a
round the building. The clock has struck
in this WAY: The dial Is some twenty feet
from the u0or, on each side Of which is q
cheruu. or little boy, with a mailet. and ov-
cr the dial IS a smai. bell the cherub on the
left strikes the first quaiter. that on the
right the second quarter. Some tiiy feet
above the dial, III a large niche, Is hugo
figure Of Time, Il bell IN his lett, scythe in
his right hand. In front stands figure OF u
Young man with i uI;tiiei, who strikes the
third quarter on the bell in the hand Of
Time. and then turns and Siides, with q
SOW step, round behind Time. and out comes
Old man with i IAd..et, ana places himself
in front of htn.
AS the hour Of tw elve comes, the old man
raises his malet and deliberately strikes
twelve tUts on the bell, which echoes thro'
the building and is heard all round the reg
ion OF the church, The Old man glIdes slow
~ behind Father Tine, aud the young man
comes on,-rcady 10 perform his part as the
time comes round again. Soon as the old
man has struck twelve and disappeared, an-
other set Of machinery is put in motion.
some twenty fest h Sher still. 1t is thus:
there is cross, with the image Of Christ on
it, The instant twelve is struck, one OF tho
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 lroat, turns, bows,
/ and passes in. So twelve apostles, figures
as large as life. walk round, bow aud pass
/ on. As hc last appears, an enormous co,k,
perched on the pinnacle OF the clock, slowly
I laps its wings, stretches forth its neck and
crows three timer, so loud as to be heard out
side the church some distance, and SO natu
rally as TO be mistaken for real cock. Then
all Is silent as death.
40 wonder this clock is the admiration
of Europe. 1t was made in 1871, and has
performed these mechanical wonders ever
since, except about fifty years, when it stood
out of repair"

MAMMOTH REMAINS IN ULsrER County, -
While some workmen were digging in marsh
on the land OF Mr.. John Nc Elhone, in Ellen
vile, Ulster county. they discovered several
huge bones. One is a portion of jaw-bone,
The others are evidently portions Of leg or thigh
bones. They are all much decayed, having APP
parently been under the soft mud for ages. In
the jaw Il msmmoth tooth, in state Of almost
perfect preservation. 1t is the tooth of gra-
miniverons animal, and measures seven inches
in length and three in width. These bones are
undoubtedly those ST mastodor OF the largest
size. Such bones are usually found in places
like this. Those here discoyerd are said to be
hve or six times larger than the corresponding
bones Of any living animal, and are in confir-
nation unlike them.
