The GREAT CLOCK AT STRAsBURG.
of our countrymen, writing from abroad,
thus describes the great clock in the Cath
edral at Strasburg:
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 one hundred feet, and about
thirty feet wide, and fifteen deep. Around
me are many strangers, waiting to sec the
working Of this clock as it strikes tue hour
Of noon. Every eye is upon the clock.
1t now wants five minutes to twelve. The
clock has struck and the people are gone,
except few whom the sexton, or head
man. with wand and sword, is conduct
ing rornd the building The clock has
struck in this way: the dial is some twenty
feet from the floor, on each side OF which
is cherub, or little boy, with a maliet,
and over the dial is small bell. The
cherub on the left strikes tue first quarter,
and that on the right the second quarter.
Some fifty feet over the dial, in large
niche, is q huge figure OF Time, a bell in
his left, scythe in his right hand. In
front stands Ggure Of young man with
mallet, who strikes the third quarter ON
the bell in the hand of Time, and turns
aud glides, with slow step, round behind
Time. Then comes out an old man, with
malIet, and places himself in front Of him.
As the hour Of twelve comes, the old man
raises his malet and deliberately strikes
twelve times on the bell, that echoes
through the building, and is heard all
round the region of the Church. The old
man glides slowly behind father Time, and
the young man comes on readily to perform
his part, as the time comes round again.
Soon as the old man has struck twelve and
disappeared, another set Of machinery is
put in motion, some twenty feet higher still.
1t is thus: there is a high cross, with the
image OF Christ on it. The instant twelve
has struck one Of the apostles walks out
from behind, comes in front, turns, facing
the cross-fgures as large as life-walks
round, bows, and passes. As the last ap-
pears, an enormous cock, perched on the
pinnacle Of the clock, slowly flaps its wings
stretches forth its neck, and crows three
times, so loud as to he heard outside of the
church to some distance, and so naturally
as to be mistaken for real cock. Then
all is silent as death No wonder this
clock is the admiration Of Europe. 1t was
made in 1851, and has performed these
mechanical wonders ever since, except
about fifty years, when it stood out O.
repair.

PearSOn'S Letter.
VANCOUVER, Aug. IS, 1858.

VANCOUVER, Aug. lS, 1898.
My DEAR SR-Kncwing that the party
| accompanied through the Snoqualmie
pass of the Cascades for the Shuswap
country have returned, and have an incli-
nation to censure me for returning before
reaching the mines, will say that 1 had
but one object in returning, and that was
to facilitate their movements to the mining
fields. | do not believe that the Indians
we met on the Weuatche could have pre-
vented us from passing, but | was afraid Of
their influence with other Indians more to
the north or eastward. After the council
with Ouhi and his people, | was satisfied
that our company could have passed unmo-
lested But to tell you the truth, the par
ty were not provided with horse, conse-
quently their movements were too slow in
hostile Indian country. l should have
never started with them from the Sound
if | had known their condition before Civ
ing my word to my friends that l would
accompany them across the mountains.
But had one hope after starting, and
that was that We might possibly meet a
company from the Dalles east of the Cas-
cades, which we could have done if the
party had not been so impatient to pro-
coed on their way to tine mines from the
Tee-an-ewins river, east Of the mountains
But some of them Rad been on the road a
long time, (thoso from California;, aud
were getting short Of provisions. | pro-
posed going to Simcoe in person to get
provisions for them with the money (sev-
enty-6ve dollars) they had paid me for my
services, but the friendly chiefs coming into
our camp and assuring Us we could pass
unmoIesed, We moved on. The result you
are in possession Of
The horse speculation that / am accused
Of going on, was to satisfy the Indians OF
our good intentions. so as not to have the
party iuteriered with by the red men Of the
forest. | knew full well that it would
never do for nc to return with Qualchin
and his people to the Wehatchee after the
interview with Major Garnet, though it
was my intention to return to my party il
| succeeded in regainiug the horses for the
Indians which, if could have done, my
party Of MIXERS would have said was one
of the good fellows of this unthankful world;
but as it has turned out, l am put down
on a cultus list.

A HEROINE OF THE SEA-YmLow FE.
vER-On the 9th of July, the steamtug
Huntrcss fell in with the ship Grotto.
Captain Nichols from Sagua In Grande
FOR Falmouth, with sugar, in distress, of
Fire Island, and towcd her to the New
York Quarantine ground When spoken
by the steamer the captains wife stood he
roically at the helm directing the vessel
toward Sandy Hook, in order to reach
New York, her husband lay below in dy-
ing condition; the mates aud all the crew
excepting two men having died Of yellow
fever. In one hour after the ship WINS ta-
ken in tow, the captain also died, leaving
only five persons alive on board, tho two
torcmast hands, and the captains wife and
two children 1t seems the fever mnde its
appearance among the crew of the i'll ship
the second day after leaving port, in its
most yirulent form, The ordinary remedies
were tried, but were found of little effect
to stay the progress Of the disease. One
after another died, and their remains were
consigned to the deep by the survivors.
On the lst of July, the captain was taken
down with symptoms Of the fever, and the
wife who had, until now, been unremit-
ting in her attentions to the sick among
the officers and crew, was obliged to nurse
her sick husband, and also. occasionally,
take her position at the wheel, while the
two survivors Of the crew worked the ship.
During the fortnigh; proceeding the Goth
nit. several other vessels, mostly from Gu
ban ports, arrived off New York with vel
low fever Oh board-aud one or two Of
them had several cases Of smallpox on
board. Measures had been taken by the
authorities to preserve a rigid quarantine,
in order to prevent the disease from spread
ing.
The ship Eliza Mallory, of Mystic, Conn,
from HAVANA, bound to Falmouth, Eng,
put into Newport, r. 1. on the 9Th of July,
in consequence of the death by yellow fever
of three of the crew and the sickness Of
three others.
