Ingenious Mechanism.

One of the most remarkable curiosi-
ties IN mechanics is of recent invention
In London. It is a watch belonging TO
a member of Parliament. designed and
made expressly for him by James Fer
guson Cole, the celebrated London watch
and chronometer maker, This unique
pocket chronOmeter has a silver dial,
on which are nine hands, indicating
respectively the hours, minutes and
seconds; the days of the week; the Gays
of the months, the months of the year.
1t corrects itself for the unequal months;
that is To say. changes when they have
so and when 81 days; and alse cofrects
itself for leap year. 1t is SO construct
ed that the slightest agitation of the
watch, such az the ordinary exercise of
walking, winds it.
Thus it NAV be worn and will go per-
fectly for years, without requiring even
to be opened, although it can also be
wound hy key in the usual manner.
The dial is arranged in five circles, and
within the largest, the hour cllcle, IS 3
seIni-circle, showing the moons age and
of blae steel. At the back of the watch
is gold indicator, for ascertaiolpg TIE
time an the dark, by touch. Tine com
plieation of the eehanism may be i'm
agined, and yet the watch is OF ordinary
dimensions, and may be worn in gen
ileman's pocket. Mr.. Cole, the inven
tor, is at present engaged in bringing
out work ON horology, which, it II
believed, will contain more interesting
matter relative 10 the science than ha'
ever before been published.

Dreadful Dcs,h Of a BursIar.
From the Erie Dispatch, August2.l

buc HIic 0ASt~'~H .
We have now to chronicle another at
tempt at robbery quite as bold and
impudent as any that have yet taken
place. Wednesday afternoon, while a
young girl, the daughter of one OF cur
old citizens, was sitting In the drawing
room she heard slight noise in the
hall. She walked softly to the door
and discovered the door ajar and the
thief walking quickly, but very stealth
ily. mn stairs. She waited O moment
and then, following cautiously, observed
him entering front chamber, the door
of which being open exposed TO view a
tempting array of jewelry and other ar
ticles of bijouterie scattered about the
toilet bureau. With presence of mind
wonderful in one so young, she hastily
closed and fastened the door, but not
before catching glance of most vi
cious pair of eyes. She descended to
the drawing room, almost overcome
with agitation at the success of her
bold experiment., for she was alone In
the house. She waited with breathless
anxiety until dark, when her parents
returning she communicated the start
ling intelligence to them of the thief
she had so dextrously Gagged.
Mr.. Smith seized a mallet and Mrs.
Smith another, and both assembled to
the chamber Upon entering they dis
covered the thief, partially screened by
the bureau. Mr. S. demanded his
business there, received no reply save
IL malignant glance, accompanied by
dash toward the door, which Mrs. S.
quickly pushed to while MIR. S. gave
him a blow with his mallet The
wretched creature now rushed from one
side of the room to the other, making
frantic efforts TO escape the blows lev
eled at him by Mr.. and Mrs. Smith.
Finally c~7shIng blow ON tho head
stretched ham senselesS. One would
suppose humanity should now have
prompted a cessation of hostilities, but
Mr.. Smith was seen to kick the inani-
mate form, and then carried him down
stairs and threw him, all bleeding and
senseless into the street In the morn
ing the poor outcast was found stark
and stiff, having probably bled to death
during the night.
During the melee blow from yDdteT
fdmiiids aimed at the robbcr came near
disabling Mrs. Smith instead, while a
fierce lunge from her mallet (they were
croquet mallets) shattered several valua-
bic panes of glass. It is TO be hoped
the fate of this unfortunate thief may
prove ealutary lesson 10 other evil
doors.

Siary Of SentineL-A story is told
of Prussian sentinel stationed on the
steeple at Troppau, and left behind
there when his company retreated.-
The citizens attempted to take him
prisoner, but the Prussian easily de-
Tended with his bayonet the narrow
winding narrow stair by which alone
access could be gained to the steeple.
They then decided on reducing him by
famine, but the Prussian having with
him q good supply of cartridges, au-
nounced that unless he was regularly
and we'll fed, he would shoot every one

contriyed 10 maintain his position for

ed by the Russians and he was re-
ieved.

Hard ON the TAX Collector. Thi:

Hard On the Tax Collector IhS
story about the Cinnamon comes all tho
way from Oregon:
Another story is that in certain
county the Cinnamon had learned to
know the Tax Collector, aud paid with
out suspicion whenever he came round
but knowing that attempts were made
to impose upon them, of course regard
ed everybody else as swindler. An
election resulted in another official be-
ing chosen, and when no attempted to
collect they refused TO pay. He was
rather peremptory, whereupon they
seized him, tied his wrists aud ankles
together, and thrustiDg pole between
them, several of the Celestials lifted the
pole, and carrying him thus, as they
would q dressed hog, brought their cap
tive up town and handed him over to
the proper authorities, with self-sat-
isfed "much catchee wobber," con-
scious OF having at the same time rid
themselves of an enemy and rendered
good service to the community. The
joke was such a good one, and was so
mercilessly kept alive by the friends Of
the victim, that the poor fellow was
obliged, in self-defence, to resign his
Office and quit the neighborhood.
