The Missouri Republican has authority
to state that Senator Schux has not written
letter favoring the nomination Of Charles
Francis Adams for tie Presidency.
1t is said that lately when Gen. Logan
was interviewed on the Presidential qucs.
ton, he could give plenty of reasons why
the different candidates named were not ct,
but was wholly unable, in scanning the
field, to find one that was; from which it
was inferred that be might possibly be a
Logan man. For the same reason, it may
DO that Senator Schurz is a Schurz man;
and il this is 80 il! is natural that he should
not want to waste any culogium on the

BEER.DRrSKTSa AMERrcAYs.-A curl.
Gus and not insignificant fact is developed
by the books Of the internal revenue Office
These show, by the orders for lager beer
stamps, that about four times more Of that
German beverage is being made and con.
'sumed than last year. A contemporary is Of
opinion that this effect is due to two causes
the immense stimulus to the joli.y tho
Germans by the chronic eihusiasm into
which their victories at home have thrown
them, aud the natural growth Of the habit
ofdrinking lager among Americans. 1t is
not inclined to mourn over either of these
facts, and thinks that the use Of light
drinks leads US more away from than to tho
vicious stimulus Of spirits.

sold and sent to New Orleans. At the
time, he was living as man and wife with
woman by tho name Of Nancy Gibbs. -
He remained in New Orleans until last
year, when he paid a brief visit to this
city, and returned home. A few days
since ho packed up, bag aud baggage, and
came to Norfolk to live. One Of his first
acts on arriving here was to procure a
marriage license, and the next evening be
and bis former wife were legally reunited,

SMALL PoX REMEDY.-A cores
pondent of the Stockton, (Cal.) Her
aid writes as follows:
81 herewith append recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent nr

tings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered COW pox In England, the
world of science hurled an avalanche
of fame upon his head, bnt when the
most scientific school of medicine in
the world--that of Paris-published
this recipe as panacea for small pOx,
it passed UNDECIDED. 1t is as unfail-
ing as fate, and conquers in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when taken by
a well person. 1t will also cure scar
let fever; here it is as L have used it
to cure the small R0S; when learned
physicians said tho patient must die,
it cured Sulphate ofzinc, one grain;
fox-glove, (ligitalis,) one grain; half
a tea-spoonful of sugar; mix with
two table spoonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of
water. Take spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For child, smaller doses ae-
cording to age. If countries would
compel their physicians to use this,
there would be no need of pest houses.
If you value advice and experience,
use this for that terrible disease"

THE GREAT CLOCK AT ST. PAUL,s.

This celebrated piece of mechanism
was made by Langley Bradley, clock
maker, ETC., in the year 170S, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given
by the great architect of the structure,
Sir Christopher Wren, and which
were in the form of specification, as
follows: "For large and substan-
tial turret clock, going eight days, and
to turn the hour and minute hands on
three several dials, viz, on the east,
south and west sides of the southwest
tower; and to keep the same in good
order for the space of seven years
from the day of its completion" The
amount paid for the work, under these
conditions, we find to have been f3,-
600 only. The clock is considered to
be of a very superior description of
workmanship, and has been pro-
nounced by competent judges to be
one of the largest in Europe. 1t has
at the present time, two dial plates,
which are placed due south and west.
Each of them is 81 feet in circumfer-
ence, or nearly 20 feet in diameter
The length of the minute hands is 8
feet s inches. and their weight, 75
pounds, the hour hands being feet 8
inches in length, and weighing A
pounds each. The figures are two
feet two and a half inches III height,
small as they appear to the spectator
below. There are also in the inside
works two small dials which work
the reverse way, one showing the
hours and the other the minutes.-
The pendulum is 16 feet long, with
large "bob :" weighing $50 pounds, at
the bottom. and which is susDendetl
by thin metal spring about the thick
ness of a shilling. The beat of the
clock is technically termed ga dead
beat" of two seconds-thirty to a
minute instead of sixty. Since it was
first made it has been very much al
tered in consequence of the repeated
repairs it has undergone, but it still
maintains its reputation as faithful
time-keeper and hourly monitor to
the citizens.

SUD DEN BLAscHINe OF rnE HAIR.

In the East Indian rebellion, Colo
mel Franks, after an engagement near
the village of Chamba, took many
prisoners, one of whom, Bengalee,
aged fitty-four, was conducted before
the authorities to undergo certain in
terrogations. The changes which this
mans appearance underwent are re-
corded by Surgeon Major Fanny
The prisoner, for the first time, seemed
to realize the danger of his situation,
when he found himself stripped and
surrounded by soldiers he trembled
violently, terror and despair being
depicted on his countenance; and
when replying to questions addressed
absolutely stupefied by fear. "Then
under our eyes," continues the narra-
tor, Mr.. Fanny, "and in the space OF
some half an hour, his hair, which
we had seen to be of a brilliant black,
became gray on every part of his
head" The sergeant who had charge
of the prisoner clied out, "He- is
turning gray" and called our atten-
tion to this singular phenomenon, of
which thus, with many other per-
sons, was enabled to observe the COM
pletion through all its phases.
