THE STRAsBuRG CLocK.-The priests and
military have retired, and l am now sitting
in chair facing the gigantic clock-from
the bottom to the top not less than one hun
dred feet, and about thirty feet wide and if
teen 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
to twelve. The clock has struck, and the
people are gone, except few whom the sex
ton or head man, with wand and sword, is
conducting round 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 NAL
let, 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 above the dial, in a large niche, is
huge figure of Time, a bell in his left, 4
scythe in his right hand. In front stands
figure of young man with a mallet, who
strikes the third quarter, on the bell in the
hand of Time, and then turns, and then
glides, with slow step, round behind Time,
comes out an old man with mallet, and
places himself in front. As the hour Of
twelve comes, the old man raises his mlllet
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 ready,
to perform his part as the time comes round
again. Soon as the old man has struck
welve and disappeared, another set of ma
chinery 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 large as life, walk
round, bow, and pass on. As the last APP
pears, an enormous cock, perehed on the
pinnacle of the clock, slowly flaps his wings,
stretches forth its neck, and crows three
times. so loud as to be heard outside Of the
church to some distance, and so naturally as
| to be mistaken for a real cock. Then all Is
as silent as death. No 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 for repair.-Vt1gM.

LocALs.-For two reasons, but few strictly
local items are given in these columns.
Firstly, scarcely anything happens. Second
ly, people who happen to be about when any
thing does happen, happen invariably to be
interested parties, who don't want it "put in
the papers" We like to give locals, but
they're hard to get; and when we do give
one, whether founded on fact CT purely tic-
titious, somebody is certain to be offended.
1t is discouraging. Once, when we were
doing paper long way off from these sage
luxurious fields, we had a sort of second
assistant, or out-runner, who picked up items
in the rough, and brought us the accounts to
be sand-papered down the naked truth, as
he saw or heard it, to be garnished with such
phrase and homily as our imagination might
approve. He was very enterprising man,
OF Irish parentage, but born IN Enniskillen.
He was faithful to fault, and away into It,
generally. If any body got married, or hurt,
or died, or born, he saw in the occurrence
only kind dispensation Of Providence, to
furnish forth an item, and all was one to
him, whether it was "born," married." or
"died." He gathered them in. He was, as
we have said, all enterprising young man,
but, comparatively speaking, "enterprisins"
was no name for it. Storms had no terror
for him, and sun-strokes leveled at his head
proved abortions. The duller the times, the
more his spirit rose superior to what was the
matter. He was every enterprising," you
might say, the same as you might say
twenty dollar piece is Every goldy:" Well,
he served up in oral shape, one Friday even
ing, the account of the birth of boy to
respectable citizen. The paper was out next
morning, and all over the town. Soon we
had call from the reputed father of the re-
ported boy. Had hard time getting out OF
the scrape, though explaining our innocence
with the above plausible account. 1t turned
out that this enterprising assistant local Of
ours had been trying to keep cases on
such items, SO as to have the start Of the
other paper; and he had done it. The lady
in the case was sick that Friday evening, and
our enterprising young man had seen the
doctor go there without any stomach-pump
under his arm and he made close guess.
The affair was postponed, however, for day
or two-and, as luck comes in bundles, the
child born unto that indignant sick woman
was girl! That girl grew to be pretty
creature, and very smart; and We could never
look on her without inwardly giving thanks
for the correction Of sex after the paper was
out. Her mother never forgave u.s. and her
indignation only caromed, instead of center
ing, as it ought, upon our enterprising young
man.-Himboldt Register.

4 highly interesting archaeological disco

A highly interesting archaeological discoy-
cry has, according to Galignani, been made
at place called Les Grands Maisons, about
three hundred yards west Of the town of Jar
nae, in the department Of the Charente,
where the laborers engaged in effecting a
cutting for a new road suddenly came upon
an enormous stone, 5 metres by q and 10
centimetres in thickness. NJ. Castigne, Vice
President of the Astrological Society Of the
Charente, has declared it to be one Of those
Celtic monuments known under the name oil
dolmen, or c-omlech, although deprived Of
its two supports, which must have been taken
away from it at very early period. The CO.
lossal monolith is to,be erected in one OF the
public squares of Jarnac. The suburb oil
Les Grands Maisons is also remarkable for
considerable number of Gallo-Roman RUNS,
where interesting relics Of the Roman period
are frequently found.

The London Times Printing Office.
A correspondent Of the Evangelist has paid
a visit to Printing House Square, and passed
through the various Offices of the London
Times, excepting the Lions Dem" which
no one is permitted to enter or have COM
munication with unless by writing. This is
the Office of the three editors-in-chief. The
writer says
At the right hand Of the square is the Office
for advertisements, looking like busy and
crowded post office; the advertising of the
Times is immense. Everything about the
Times Office is done with the utmost system
and economy; there is aplace for everything,
and everything is in its place. There IS
perfect division of labor, and place for each
division. You enter long room on the first
floor, where the form is got ready for stereo'
tipping, for, with the exception Of single
page, left open till the last moment, for the
latest intelligence, every particle of the paper
is stereotyped before it goes to press. Apart
of this room, as well as one of the same size
above it, is used by the compositors. These
are always at work, day and night, having
two sets Of hands.
In another room were two Geographic APP
paratuses-one communicating with the Office
of Reuter-, the king Of telegraphs; the other
with both Houses Of Parliament. What
comes from Louis Napoleon or Palmerston's
brain is here almost as soon as it is there.
The department of the proof-readers is pro-
minent and complete. Every word and point
undergoes the utmost scrutiny.
The stereotyping was to me the point Of
eliminating interest. To setup single page
