A REMARKABLE CLocK.-The follow ing account of wonderful clock is copied from all old publication, dated l769. 1t shows how the people of that age endcavored to get "ahead of time . by relating marvellous stories. "Some fifty years" says the feport, ga clock was constructed by a Genevaii mechan- ic named Droz, capable of performing a variety of surprising movements, which were effected bv ...ne figures of a negro, shenherd, and a dog. When the cock struck, the shepherd played six tnHes on his flute, and the dog ap- preached and fawned upon him. This clock was exhibited to the King of Spain, who was highly delighted with the ingenuity of the artist. The king, at the request of Droz, took an apple from the shepherds basket, when tho dog started up and parked so loud that the kings dog, which was in the same room, began to bark also. We are moreover informed that the negro, on being asked what hour it was, answered the question in French, so that he could be understood by those present.

To TAME BEEs.-The Scottish Gar dener says to tame bees we have only to accustom them to the forms of hu- man beings. X scarecrow placed iil front of the hives of stinging bees is a great help. It can be shifted now and then, andr to provoke a general attack, place . loose, waving handkerchief or rag in the hands of the scarccrow.-- Vicious kicking horses have been com pleteiy cured by hanging bags of hay in the ytalls. They kicked and plung- ed at the bag till their strength was completely exhausted, when their vice and folly left them, so that they quietly tolerated the bag to dangle by their sides, and grooms to do as they liked. In like manner the bees attack the waving, provoking handkerchief, and sting it till their vice leaves them.- That which scares crows tends to do- mesticatc bees. If kept in a garden where men, women and children are of ten seen, and where they arc not dis turbed, bees are as tame and peaceable as cocks and hens.

FRENCH MAsoN's PIErY. A: the re- cent annual communication of the French Free Masons discussion arose as to the retention of ancient formula sto the glory of the great architect of the universe. Some held that it should not be made obligatory in all cases. NM. Parrot Duclas and Eugene Pelletan favored tho widest liberty of conscience and thought, that Masonry should not seem to commit itself to theisn. On the other side NM. Garri- son and IIernittce advocated d loyal adhesion to the traditions ofthe order. The debate was animated, but very large majority properly decided in favor of the retention of the formula.

Tunnel Under the Atlantic.

A proposition is on foot to start the gi- gantie undertaking of running tunnel under the Atlantic ocean in order to con- meet the old and new world together by the means of a submarine railway. The most eminent engineers, both in America and Europe, have been consulted, and they have erawn up report which is per fectly feasible, only requires time and money to carry out, while the capital, al- though stupendous, will be forthcoming. So far as calculated approximately it will require five hundred millions English pounds, or two billion five hundred million dollars. Plenty os capitalists are ready to engage in this marvellous undertaking and as soon as the plans are arranged the money will be advanced. The proposed plans are in themselves the wonder of this skillful age of engineering science. To re. late them in detail would be simply impos- sible at present, but few of the leading points may be glanced at in order to give the readers an insight into the wonderful results already arrived at This work will occupy one hundred thousand men--hall at each end of the terminus -and suppos. ing the obstacles to be of such character as are expected, it will take fully thirty years to accomplish the work. When completed it will take abou. six days fol ordinary trains to travel between both points, and three days for the Cypress mails. The system to be adopted for tun. neling will be of the latest improvements in drilling rock, each advance of the drill CTS being followed by shields of various di mansions, of strong cast iron, and each succeeding one being frmer than the last Powerful steam engines will push forward these shields as the boring advances, until at last the largest and most perfect tube will be placed with rails properly fixed for operation. It is proposed to light the cars with the magnesium light, while powerful engines will drive the air through the tup mel, inducing free circulation, the vari ous contrivances at certain distances The electric light will be used at intervals on the track.
 Depots will not be required, as there vii be no stoppage. The points of union ir America and Europe are in course of de bate. It is generally conceded that tn, shortest rout will be the cable one, viz
 between Newfoundland and Ireland. Int soundings already taken to lay the cable telegraph are of the greatest use, and have enabled the operators to lay out their mar of the bed of the Atlantic. The wire will be laid through the tunnel. and experiments are in prdgress to connect communication between the running cars and the fixed telegraph, by whih means immediate in formation can be sent to either continen, by the passengers while travelling. Thus while fhe pillows roll above and the mon stcrs of the deep are sporting or fighting as the case may be, men, women and chil drem will be rolling rapidly underneath and after brief trip will find themselves to the shores of other nations, without the danger, fatigue and sickness of long and dangerous sea voyage.-l St. Louis Times

 To make bread rise--Give the grain spectators good line of discount at the bank.
 To make light cake-Use a candle, and sec that there is no wait before baking. To make an Irish stcw-Furnish three lrishmen with three pints of whiskey and accompanying pipes, mix well, and in an hour or so you will have a perfect mess.

EVENING.
BY JAMES BARRON HOPE.

BY JAMES BARRON HOPE. See the crimson clouds of evening Lattice-bars across the blue Where the moon in pallid beauty, Like an angel gazcs through! Over all the winding river, By the fading sunset kist, Slowly rises up the vapor, In cloud of ghostly mist. While the Eve is slowly turning It's last grains of golden sand, What . holy quiet hovcrs Over all the drowsy land There is now the spell of silence Of silence calm and deep Over all the placid water
 Where the blue mist seems asleep. And the vessels slowly gliding Down the river to the bay, Show on sheets of spreading canvass Aineo WhiSA SAuHSee hom ASu so gray. All is quiet, save the murmur Of the tide upon the bar; See each little breaker playing With the image of star! And 'tis thus that human creatures, Bowed with age or fresh in youth,
  Give back brokenly the image Of each grand, celestial truth. Now the brooding silence deepens, And the scene is one of rest, While the wreck d day drifts down grandl, To be stranded in tHe West On yon rugged coast of cloud-land High above the village spire, On its mighty purple head-lands, And its crsgs all tipped with fire.

If we accept the humiliation proposed for us, all mankind will be ashamed of us, our children will be ashamed of us, and our very enemies, whose hatred prompted the shame, will mock and deride us.

Pope, but if, as assume, he pos- sesses the ordinary instincts of honor belonging to an American gentleman, he must have felt an almost nauseating pity for the poor men who gathered about him in Atlanta, and, forgetting the history of their fathers and the character of our institutions, welcomed with feasting and rejoicing the inaugu- ration of military despotism over one of the Old Thirteen, whose sons were in the first revolution, and who holds in her bosom the ashes of Pulaski! X brave man loves courage in others, and despises sycophancy, especially that sycophancy which makes sacrifices to power to secure safety, perhaps patron- age for itself. Heroism in defeat, pa tience in suffering, the preservation of honor in the midst of misfortune, are the sublime virtues which everything on earth at1rnires, and everything in heaven rewards, and which never fail to lift apeople possessing them, how ever teniporafify unfortunate, to final prosperity and renown. And a people however great who propose dishonor to the helpless, who would take advan- tage of misfortune to force oppression on the unresisting, will surely silk by the weight of their own infamy to hire, and everything oh earth and in heaven will rejoice in the fall.

Everything they have done. from the suicidal repeal of the Missou- ri compromise to the criminal and fac- tious demoralization which compelled our surrender, has been contrary to my wishes and against my protest.
