Proud OF their Worthless President

Mr.. McMic'acI, the temporary
President of the Philadelphia Con.
vention, in speaking of President
Grant, was quite correct in saying
the Republican party 'are quite
willing he should indulge in palace
cars and cigars, and seaside loiter-
ings,' and they mean to furnish him
with the opportunity of enjoying
these for at least four years to come"
We had supposed from. the criti>
clsms of Republican journals upon
Grants indolent habits, and neglect
OF Executive business, that those
pecullarities were not generally APP
proved by his party; but Mr.. Nc
Michael's assertion aud the applause
Of the convention prove otherwise.
The convention thus sanctions the
removal of the national capital to
Long Branch, for which Grant is al
ready preparing. Are the cigars
"they mean to furnish him the OPP
%portnnity of enjoying for four more
years" included in the contract with
Collector Arthur, of the New York
customhouse ?--Appeol.

Poo the Bell.

Among the tens of thousands of Amer
lean tourists in Europe, the last summer,
was our friend Jones. Jones was a New
Yorker, 'cute he thought, and sharp, and
hardly Il subject who at any time would
have been the sport of circumstances yet
such he was, and rather good sport. too,
it would appear by what follows. Jones
had reached GlasgOw-sO far on his way
to the Scotch Highlands. Every Ameri-
can ''does" the highlands. He got out
at Il suburban station, west of Glasgow,
and took '''bus" to reach a destination
a few miles off. The ''bus" whirled
over the grand macadamiZed roads at
twelve miles an hour, but in whirling.
Jones observed the house ut which he
wished to be set down fit swiftly by.
Springing to his feet-he thought he was
in Broadway-he looked for the strap, but
no strap was visible, only round hole in
the top of the stage, through which he
vainly endeavOred to make the driver I'M
derstand that he wanted to stop. But
Jones is quick at eXpedicnts. In mo-
meDt up went the handle of his umbrella
to hook the drivers foot. But, horror!
it vanished in a second, and a strong,
broad Glasgow accent shouted down
through the hole, ''Thankee, sir,
thankee!'' 1t was raining. as it always
does there, and the fellow who had got
possession of JOnes's umbrella naturally
enough thought it was friend in the:in
side handing it up to him. But our un'
fortunate friend had shouted himself hOarse
lost his umbrella, and still the ''bus''
Numbered on. Driven to desperation, he
appealed to an old gentleman in the cor
ner-the only Occupant-tO learn in what
way the thing was to be stopped The old
chap was deaf, or did not understand
American English, for he only shook his
head. There was nothing for it, after that.
for Jones to do but to leap. at the risk of
broken bones i'm a strange land. But out
he got. having aIighted safe, minus his
new FL Is. umbrella. Telling his friend
of his mishap, he coolly asked, 'And why
didna yer poo the bell? They'll never
had a bell-handle outside the rear of the
coach, expecting that every stranger must
know of it. 1t is very probable, the next
time Jones rides in Glasgow 9 bus" he
will mind to poo the bell' when he
wants to alight, and also will be less gen.

Relic Of a Famous Temple.

DIR. ID. p. Livermore, of IIallOwell, Me-,
has in his possession an interesting curl
osity. 1t is piece of the famous Chinese
Porcelain Tower, built at Nankin by the
Emperor 1ungloh, to reward the kind
ness of his mother. 1t was begun in the
year AL, and completed in 1870. The
Board of Works was ordered, according
to the plan of the Emperor, to build a
tower nine stories high, bricks and tiles
to be glazed, and of fine cOlors, and it
was to be superior to all others, in order
to make widely known the virtues of his
mother. Its height was to be three hun
dred and twenty-five feet; it was of an
Octagonal form, each side being fifteen
feet wide. Its base was upon a solid fOun-
dation of brickwOrk, ten feet high, up
which a flight of twelve steps led into the
tower, where spiral staircase led to the
top. The body of the edifice was COM
posed of brick, the outer face of which
was covered with slabs of glazed porcc-
lain of various cOlOrs. 1t is IA piece of this
glazed porcelain that Mr.. Livermore has.
The lowest of the nine stories was 40
feet in circumference, but the tower de-
creased in size to the top, and at each
story was a projecting roof, with a ball
suspended at each cOrner-l44 in all. On
the outer face of each story were sixteen
lanterns, the light of which ''illumined
the thirty-three heavens. shining into the
hearts of all men, good and bad, eternally
removing human misery" Each story
formed a saloon, which was finely paint
ed and adorned with numerous gilded
images. On the top of the highest roof
were two braZcn vessels, weighing to-
gether 1000 pounds, and braZen bowl

General Adaptation of Electricity.

The telegraph and electricity are yearly
entering more and more intimately into
the daily service and convenience of the
people. 1t sounds the alarm and brings
speedy succOr when fire threatens devas-
tatiOn and ruin. 1t furnishes to every
merchant, broker, and business man who
desires it, in the more important business
centers, constant record in his own Of
flee or counting room of the condition
quotations of leading articles of traffic
and commerce. 1t calls messengers and
assistants, when needed, to any locality,
at all hours of the day and night. 1t fur
nishes communication between the offices,
manufactures, and places OF business OF
merchants, manufacturers, shippers, and
others. The editors of our great news
papers can sit in their libraries at home
and direct, by means of telegraphs, easily
operated by themselves or members of
their families, the management of their
papers. The liability to danger and de-
structiOn on railroads is greatly lessened.
and disasters averted, through the use of
electrical signals. The engineer, as his
locomotive dashes along the iron rail at a
speed which OutStrips the wind, can, at a
glance at the signal by the road side,
know the condition of the line for miles
ahead, and whether other trains are likely
to be encountered. or misplaced switches
and open drawbridges invite him to death
and destruction. Our bells are rung by
electricity, our clocks are regulated by
men is assured or their lack of vigilance
recorded with unfailing accuracy by the
electrical tell-tale. The concealed wire
and electric circuit betray the operations
of the burglar and thief, and our gas is
lighted by electricity. Scientific american.
