EARLY CLocKs.-Tbe first clock which
appeared in Europe. was probably that
which Eginhard, the secretary of Charlie
magne, describes as sent to his royal master
by Abdalla, King of Persia. "a horOloge
of brass, wonderfully constructed, for the
course of the twelve hours, answered to the
hourglass, with as many little brazen balls,
which drop down on sort of bells under
meath, and sounded each other" The We
nitians had clocks in S72, and sent speci,
men of them that year to Constantinople.

INCREASE OF POPULATIoN.-Som one
has remarked that the generality of people
never stop to think how fast America is be-
ing filled up by immigration. The Missouri
Republican presents the subject in the fol-
lowing practical form Half a million of
Europeans will have immigrated to this coun-
try before the end of the year, and more,
probably will come next year. In twenty
four months a population in numbers equal
to that of Missouri reaches our shores; in
twice that time they could fill Slate with
population twice as large as that of Illinois,
and (their descendants included) an immi,
grafton of six years is more than sufficient TO
tll the United States with a population as
great in number as that which our country
had when 1t declared its independence.

BrNIro JUAREz.--We fnd IN The New

BENIro JUAREz. We find in the New
Orleans Times some interesting "reminiscences
Of Benito Juarez, the President of Mexico.
It says: ain the years 1S52-'53-'54, aud
'55, there lived in this city on st. Anne street,
between Dauphine and Bourbon, middle
aged, quiet, dark-complexioned, gentlemanly
parsonage, who, either by himself or asso>
ciates conducted a small mandatory of
cigarettes. A very small, select coterie of
friends knew the history of this individual,
and cultivated his society. His life was that
of a student, close and silent observer of
men and events, and his habits were those
of great simplicity and reserve. he was
careful reader of the newspapers, aud, to graf
ify his curiosity, a frequent visitor at the
editorial sanctum Of The old Courier, on
Chartres and Custom House streets, when it
was conducted by that amiable, intelligent,
and energetic citizen, Emile La Sere-whom
we are happy to meet frequently on our
streets, in well ll.preserved vigor and good spir-
its. There was a cordial intimacy subsisting
between Mr. La. Sere and his visitor, and in
their conversations they always employed
the familiar appellations Of Emile and
'Benito' Mr.. La Sere's friend Benito is the
same gentleman whom recent, and indeed,
previous events have assigned the principal
part in the interesting drama now being
enacted in Mexico : Don Beuito Juarez,
President of the Republic of Mexico, and
the head of the party and the people who
have crushed the scheme of imperializing
that lOng-desolated and unhappy country.
At the time of his quiet Sojourn in st Anne
street be was an exile and refugee from bis
native land, having abandoned it to escape
the penalty which the invariAble but detest-
able policy of that people never fails to
inAict upon the chief of defeated or mi
nority party
