The Chicago Court House Bell,
From the Chicago Time

rum 'ie SnlcdgO ZINES.
After the fire, pieces of the court
house bell were in great demand
among collectors of relics. and several
boys made money by Illegally taking
pieces thereof and selling them around
the streets. At last the city authori-
ties stepped in and took what was left
and sold 1t to person who went into
the manufacture of charms, bells, etc.
In the course of time the demand for
his wares came to an end, and what
bell metal he had left was secured by
the Board of Trade and was recast at
the Troy foundry into bell weighing
200 pounds, which reached here from
the East some time ago, but has only
recently been hung. 1t has now been
placed III bell tower on top OF the
building just across the alley from the
Board of Trade building, and will be
used for calling the hours ON Change,
especially O'Clock.

A Gypsy Congress.

Ten bands of gypsies are now con.
centrated at Crystal Springs, north OF
this city, five of whom made this Dis
trict their winter quarters. They are
now waiting for other bands to Join
them in kind of annual convention
before separating for the coming sea-
son. They live In small tents or cab
ms, which they erect whenever night
overtakes them, and some of the bands
have sort OF ambulance wagon in
which they sleep. Their acknowledged
means of livelihood are peddling and
horse trading for the men, and
fortune-telling by the women ::
but the policemen think that
much of the horse stealing carried on
III Maryland and Virginia during the
past few months has been done by
some of the members of these gangs.
Sometimes they have many fine horses,
and at other times only few, but are
always ready to trade The chief is an
old man, known only by the name of
Crabtree, who seems to be respected
and obeyed by all the bands. On the
arrival of few more bands, which are
expected from the Sonth and West.
they will separate again and be scat
tered all over the country Washing

The Sun.DeW Plant.

Mr.. Ziegler has lately been making
some studies upon the ella of the
droseras, or dew-plant, which, as is
well known, exude from their tips a
viscous secretion by which insects are
secured. Whenever an insect is thus
taken, the external ella bend round
and cover the insect, as if in the clasp
of the hand, and do not relax their
hold until at the end OF several days,
In order to secrete mucilage anew and
entrap new prey, 1t is an interesting
fact that illuminated animal sub
stances, under ordinary circumstances,
will not exercise any evident action
upon the ella of the plants in ques-
tion; but if they are held few min
utes between the fingers they acquire
the property of causing the ella to
contract. If, however, these same ami
NAL substances are then moistened
with distilled water and dried In a
sand bath they lose the property they
had acquired from the fingers.

Burning a Dead Prince i'm India,

The burning of dead prince in India
is rather expensive. A letter in the
London Times describes the combus-
ton of His Highness the Maharaiah of
Jondhpore. The corpse was dressed
in royal robes of brocaded cloth, and
decked out with jewelry valued at SIS, =
900. In front of the funeral procession
walked two elephants laden with gold
and silver coins to the amount Of S62, :
500, which were scattered at every hun
dred PAGES among the spectators, to
be scrambled for. The corpse, shawls
and iewelry were all thrown together
upon the burning pile. From the day
on which His Highness died, 5000
Brahmins regularly received food and
largess of rupee each at The palace
gates. All the inhabitants, by way of
expressing their grief, shaved off their
boards, mustaches, and the hair of
their heads. The lamented Raiah left
behind him neat assortment OF wives
and toncubines, who were, many of
them, extremely DESTROYS to be burned
with their late lord, some because they
were really grieved at his loss, and
others because it was The fashionable
thing to do. 1t was not permitted,
however, greatly to the disgust of the
widows.

A Rural CaDjfaI.

A rural capital may not be bad
thing. The Des MONIES Gowa) Re-
porter says: "Wheat sowing has com
menced in the north part of the city 4;
in the south it will be quite generally
through with this week" Whereup
on Peoria newspaper says: "Think
of the capital of state with 1000, 900
inhabitants being located in wheat
field - But it might be worse. 1t
might be located in corrupt, vicious
and Goddess great town, ready to in
troduce the country members to vices
which they had otherwise not known.
A legislature sitting in wheat field
should have primitive and bucolic
simplicity, taking us back to the stern
beginnings Of ancient republics.

The Loss of the Emigrants.

THE ATLANTIC, WRECKED APRIL 1sT, 1878.
For months and years, with penury and want
And heartsore envy did they dare to cope;
And mite by mite was saved from earnings

To buy, some future day. the God-sent hope.
They trod the crowded streets of hoary towns,
Or titled from year to year the wearied
fields,
And in the shadow of the golden crowns
They gasped tor sunshine and the health 1T
yields.
They turned from homes all cherries, child
and man,
With kindly feelings only for the soil,
And for the kindred faces, pinched and wan,
That prayed, and stayed, unwilling, at their
They lifted up their faces to the Lord,
And read his answers in the westering sun
That called them over a shining word,
And beckoned seward as the rivers run.
They looked their last, wet-eyed, on Swedish
hills,
On German villages and English dales
Like brooks that grow from many mountain

Alas when shown iii mercy or iii wrath,
How weak We are to read Gods awful lore

And dashed them lifeiess on the promised

L H
Mounted In it,
The Washington Star saws: The
work upon the new tower and dome at
the Observatory for the refracting tele-
scope now being made at Cambridge
port, Massachusetts,, has already COM
menced and is being pushed forward
rapidly. The foundation walls are
being laid, and the entire structure will
be completed, in accordance with the
terms of the contract, by the 1st of
July.
The new telescope now being made
at Cambridgeport, Mass, will be
completed and mounted in it's place at
the Observatory by next fall. This
will be the largest refractor in the
world, the object glass having diane
ter of 26 to 13 inches. The tube will be
of iron and it's focal distance 80 feet.
The next largest refractor is owned by
private gentleman, Mr.. Newball, of
England, the object glass of that being
% inches in diameter The instru-
ment now in use at the Observatory
is only nine inches in diameter, and
when the new one shall be mounted the
observers here will of course be enabled
to make much closer and more salts
factory observations than have been
obtained heretofore. The object glass
alone, of the new telescope, cost $27,
900. 1t was cast in England and fin
ished in Massachusetts, where it is now

Memory.
BY JOHN M'GoyERN .

Our hopes may lie as cold as love fear sapped-
As ripe to be inhumed oblivion wrapped
Yet mournf fully we keep them on their bisrs
Palled in the shadows of the gloomy wears.
Deep In our misty woe we hover prone
Above their corpses, and, with bated groan.
The story of their life and death reelte
Unto our only friend, the Loor blind Night.
Our wounds are all we have we love them
we'll;
Their quickness pieases us-we nurse the
spell
Not one of US dare crave, for our distress.
The clammy keep of blank Forgetfulness.

ed of iron, are each to carry six guns.
There is to be one eleven inch pivot gun
on the quarter deck and another pivot
gun OF smaller calibre on the forecastle.
The four broadside guns are to he Oh

agreed upon is iron sheated with wood,
outside of which there is to be copper
sheating, as is ordinarily done with
vessels sailing in warm ATTITUDES. This
plan is adopted to prevent fouling,
which is the great trouble with iron

Freaks of an Eccentric Bird.
From the Harrisburg Ttlecranh.

A small bird made its appearance
some time since at the residence of
Owen James, Esq, of New Cumber-
land, and since then its conduct has
been both pleasing and cheerful. 1t
will come to the window of the room
III which the family are seated, and
perching on the sill will make noise,
as if desiring to attract attention. If
the family retire to another room, the
bird Immediately follows, and goes
through the same maneuvres. On
hosting the window to admit the little
visitor, it will at once fly away, to
return as soon as it is again closed.
This is kept up every day, and is GER
tainly somewhat singular.

Bait. & Ohio Work Shops.

The Old Commonwealth, published in Har-
risonburg, seems to be very confident that the
work shops of the Bait & Ohio alias Valley
Railroad Company will be established at that
place. Itsays:
From recent indications we feel more than
ever certain that Harrisonburg will be the loca-
ton of the Work Shops of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. We have semi-official informa-
ton that they will be put here, and that work
on them will begin in the Spring We base
our belief upon the fact that they are making
such extensive improvements at the depot that
that this is the end of their division that it is
half way between Harper's Ferry and Salem,
the termini of their Virginia route; that the
Narrow Gauge Railroad will come here, from
which they will obtain the larger proportion Of
their freight"
