LINE.

A correspondent wrltesthat the Oft
quoted line, Though lost to sight, to
mem'ry dear" originated with Ruth
ven Jenkyns, and was first published
In the Greenwich Magazine for Ma
rines, in 17Ol or 1902. As literary
curiosity, we quote the whole poem |

Is spread to watt me far from thee
And soon, before the favrlng gale,
My ship shall bound uvOn the sea,
Perchance, all desolate and torlorn
These eyes shall miss thee many a
year;
But unIorgotten every charm,
Though lost to sight, to mem'ry
dear.
"Sweetheart, good-bye! one last en-
brace!

Yet In this hearts most Slored.place

And still shall recollectioa trace
In Fancy's mirror. eveftnear,
Each smile, each tear-the form, that

ONE of the planks of the
Democratic platform laid down
at Columbus recently was the
following:
ReSolved, 4th. That the pub.
lie lands should be sacredly re-
served for actual settlers, who
will dwell upon and cultivate
them, and that we will continue
to denounce and oppose as we
always denounced and opposed
all gifts of such lands by the
Government to incorporated
companies.
A correspondent of the Gin.
cinnati Commercial furnishes d
table of land grants to railroads
made by Congress from 1850 to
1861, during which time the
Democracy was the ruling par
ty. The aggregate is over thir.
ty one millions of acres.

is supposed to contain the

arrangement this procession
can be made to come out and
pass around the gallery at any
time desired.
On pedestalS, at the extreme
corners Of the front of the
clock, are carved wooden stat
ues OF Moses and Elias. In the
rear are two obelisks of the
Egyptian style, upon which
are carved hleroglyphlc char
acters to represent the ancient
period of the worlds history.
The clock will run thirty.two
hours without winding. Mr..
Ketter, who Is a native of Frie-
burg, in Baden, is very proud
of his workmanship. He can
scarcely bear to be away from
it long enough to eat his meals.
He has been offered ten thous-
and dollars for it by a party
from New York, but he refus-
ed it.
Mr.. Ketter says he had often
heard of the celebrated clock
in Strasburg, Germany, but he
never saw 1t, and he has had
no knowledge how it was con.
structed, Meth has he ever
had any instruction in mechan-
les Of any kind.
His purpose is to exhibit it
for a few months in this coun-
try, and then take it with him
to Germany.

1t is an interesting fact that
the imports of dry goods at New
York during the month of Aug
ust have been a million and o
half less in value than in 1872,
and four millions and a quarter
less than in 1871. Our total
imports since the beginning of
the year are nineteen millions
less than last year, and eleven
millions less than the year before
last. We are not running in
debt abroad as fast as we we're.

HERE is a paragraph from
the Athens speech Of Governor
Noyes, which every citizen OF
Ohio should 'read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest"
No man who wishes we'll for
the State can notice without
concern the rapid and enor-
nous increase in the local in
debLedhess of our smaller po
litical divisions. Incompetent,
irresponsible, and reckless Of
Gcials often squander the pub
lie money; and sometimes the
better judgement OF communi-
ties is improperly swayed by
speclous arguments and false
representations, for purposes
OF private gain. While the
State debt is decreasing, our
cities and counties are prepar
Ing a burden which will be
found heavy and oppressive In
the coming years. All good
citizens should set their iaces
against this mortgage of the
future, and this evil should be
borne in mind while the peo-
pie are selecting members oil
the Legislature and their coun-
ty officers.

Completion of the Portage
Lake Ship Canal.

The Importance OF the Port
age Lake Ship Canal will be
highly estimated when it is un
derstood to be worthy Of men
tion In connection with those
valuable results of human in
duslry which remove impedi-
ments to the transit of the pro-
ducts of, agriculture and other
commodities between the var
ions ports of the great inland
seas. Steamers or vessels
bound up or down Lake Supe-
rior, calling for cargoes from
Portage Lake, have heretofore
been compelled 10 20 forty or
fifty miles and return out of the
straight course around Kewee-
nav Point.
Most of the copper produced
on the Southern shore of Lake
Superior has always been and
will continue to be sent from
Portage Lake. More than
10000 of the $1,000 tons OF
copper produced last year were
shipped from it. BY the canal
passage, round Keeweenaw
Point will be saved. The pas
sage round this Point has al
ways been regarded with dis
like by sailors, and In foggy or
heavy weather is dangerous,
the harbors being available
only for the smaller class of
boats. The actual distance by
measure from Portage Lake
around the Point is one hun
dred and twelve miles, and the
distance TO be sailed over is
still greater. But from Hough.
ton to Hancock through the
ship canal to the open lake is
only nine miles.
There is no doubt that at
some former period the penin-
sula or "polnt" north of Port.
age Lake was an island, as now
by the labor of man it has
again become. The channel
between the island and the
main land had, for a long dis
tance been filled up with sand
to The height of at least twenty
feet above the lake. In the
course OF the recent excava-
tions, large trees buried for
many centuries, have been
brought to the surface, and,
stranger yet, tools ane imple-
ments curiously fashioned from
copper, and evidently wrought
by a now unknown race, have
also been discovered.
The whole work is now near
ly completed, and there seems
to be no doubt tn at the In
crease of the tonnage brought
to Portage Lake from the West
will be followed by the widen.
ing, deepening and straighten
ing OF the channel eastward to
Lake Superior. Cour-

A WONDERFUL dLOCK.

"A WONDERFUL l. CLOCK.
lshamokln oorrsspondenee Of she Phlladel
phla Press.
Karl Kelter, a poos German
miner of the Excelsior Colliery,
which Is situated within few
miles of this borough has ex-
hlbiled a clock here, during
the past week, of most re-
markable character. He had
been three years constructing
1.-THE first two years at inter-
walls OF time, and the last year
he worked at 1t day and night,
scarcely taking time enough to
sleep and eat.
He became almost a mono
maniac on The subject. The
clock was in his mind during
his waking hours, and in his
dreams at night. He occupied
alone a small wooden shanty,
where he worked, slept, and
cooked his food. Whatever
sleeping and cooking he did,
however, was but little. 1t is
thought he would have nearly
starved, but for the kindly in
terest which his neighbors
took in him and his c,SSkg--.
They took him food and en-
couraged him in his labors.
The clock, which was made
with no other tools than two
common jack-kniveS, is eight
ieet high and four ieet broad.
lis frame is Of the Gothic style
of architecture. 1t has sixteen
sides, and is surmounted by a
globe, on the top OF which is
attached a small golden cross
On the front of the Gle ok there
are tour dial plates; one shows
the day of the week, another
shows the day of the month,
ano her showes the minu Q and
fractions of a minute, and tie
other the hour of the day.
These dials are carved in u
most unique manner, having
emblematic hgures upon them
of almost every imaginable de-
Scription. Above the dial plates
is a semi-circular gallery, ex
tending around about half the
width of the framework of the
clock. Immediately in front,
in the center of this semi-cir
cular gallery, is tie carved
wood figure of our Savior. At
the ends OF the gallery, on
either side, there is a small
door, opening into the body OF
the clock.
Over the door, on the right.
hand side OF the clock, as you
stand facing it, is an eagle
Over the door, on the left t-hand
side, is a chicken cock. Twice
a day, that is, al 1905 in the
day and 1906 at night, a sweet
chime of bells begins 10 play,
the small door on the right
hand opens, and small wooden
figures, admirably carved, of
the twelve Apostles, appear
and walk out slowly and grave
ly in procession, Peter in the
lead. Advancing along the
gallery until they get opposite
the figure of Jesus, each in
turn, except Judas, slowly
turns around and bows his
head to the Master, then recov
ers his former position; as Pc
ter does this the cock crows.
They continue to advance to
the other side of the gallery
and enter the small door on
the left. As Judas (who is in
