The Great Clock at Strasburx.

One of our countrymen, writing from
abroad, thus describes the great clock in
the Cathedral 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 in width, and fifteen 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 md the people are
gone, except a few whom the sexton Or
head man, with wand and sword, is con.
ducting round tie building; the clock
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
mallet, and over the dial is small bell.
The chcrub on the left strikes the first
quarter, and that on the right the second
quarter. Some 40 feet over the dial, in
large niche, is q huge figure of Time, q
bell in his left, and scythe in his right
hand. In front stands figuse of a young
man with a mallet, who strikes the third
quarter on the bell in the hand of Time,
and turns and g'ides,. with slow step,
round behind Tine. Then comes out an
old man with a mallet. and places himself
in front of him. AS the hour CT twelve
approaches, the old man raises his malet
and deliberately strikes twelve times on
the bell, that echoes thro' the building and
is heard all around the region Of the
Church. The Old man g!ides slowly be-
hind father Time, and tie 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 high cross, with the image Of
Christ upon it. The instant twelve is
struck, one Of the apostles walks out from
behind, comes in front. turns, facing the
cross. Figures as large as liGe,) walks
round, bows and passes. AS the last ap-
pears an enormous cock, slowly flaps its
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 real
cock. Then all is silent as death. No
wonder this clock is the admiration of
Europe. I, was made in l75l, and has
performed these mechanical wonders ever
since, except about fifty years, when i:
stood out Of repair.

Having become entirely convinced that
the Administration is the Government
we propose to express some truly loyal
views in truly loyal words.
We hold that Abraham Lincoln is the
greatest statesman Of the age. That he
is thoroughly informed on oil matters Of
government policy, and especially CONVEX
cant with the intricacies Of the tariff; that
he is a very handsome man, avery refined
man, thoroughly educated man, and has
had all the training requisite for a success.
cor of Washington and Madison, in the
Executive chair.
We hold also, that the above mentioned
Lincoln is honest, and that his Admins.
tration is distinguished for the integrity
Of all its members and Apprentices; that
Wells never gave fat contracts to Morgan
that Cameron never dabbled in frauds;
that Fremont never specu!ated in Austrian
muskets that Seward and Stanton VIC,
lated no law in making arrests; that the
Constitution required Blair to exclude
Democratic papers from the mails and
that Chase is sincere, frank and manly in
his conduct wearing his heart on his
sleeve aud withal, o pure, national pat.

prejudiccs.
We hold, moreover, that the conduct of

such copperhcads as Mcclellan aud Buell..
We still believe that this wicked rebel.
lion will be sGuelched in the original ninety
days and that the only reason why a few
old women did not whip the rebels before
breakfast, was because Father Abraham,
in the kindness Of his heart, (>ee Tod on
deserters) failed to couscript then. DAT of
tender regard for age and sex.
We don't believe that anybody's hurt,
the crisis being purely artificial. Il is our
belief that large sum is more easily
paid than larger one; and we ure sure,
from personal experience, that it is easier
to pay when we have the means Of paying
than when we have not.
The national debt we consider mere
trihe, as we have been convinced by an
ari,bmetical calculation, that our women
can churn it out in ten years.
We believe in the Union party that
is, we don't believe it is party at all. but
devised for the purpose Of putting down
this wicked rebellion and saving the best
Government in the world. Its leaders are
all honest patriots, caring nothing for
Office, except when i. is forced upon them.
Their motto is, To the devil with your
offices ! We are for our country, and our
home is in the bright settled sun"
We are very much in favor Of calling
Democrats Copperheads,' and enemies
in our midst. We think they all ought to
be killed. Burning at the stake would be
cminentiy proper. Sharp pine splinters
ought to be stuck into the flesh and set
on fire. No Uuon man should deal with
them except to take their money never

MUTE ELoouEscE. In the great Earth
quake that destroyed the city'of Caracas
in 1872, with forty thousand inhabitants,
says recent traveller: "The clock of the
cathedral was stopped, as is supposed, by
the first shock. The tower in which the
dials are placed, one fronting each quarter
of the heavens, remained standing; al.
. though the clock had been repaired and
set going again, one Of these dials and its
hands have never been disturbed. They
still point to the hour and minute which
heralded so many thousand souls, without
moments warning, into eternity. Ac:
corling to this, twenty minutes past four
O'Clock, r. NJ, was the monent Of the first
shock. | have seen the silent, yet awful
monitor myself; now, when after the lapse
OF more than one.third of a century, n
new city has sprung up on the spot where
stood that whose destruction it witnessed
and now thousands, when they raise their
eyes to ascertain whats the clock" are
thus warned uf the dread fate Of those
other thousands who thus SO suddenly pre-.
ceded them to the dim, cold home to which
we are oil so speedily fastening"
