Celebrated II.

Whitsuntide, and How the Germans
Celebrated 1t.
Pfngstmoptag, or Whitsuntide was duly cele-
brated yesterday by the Germans ofNew York. The
Pfngst est, which IS the celebration OF the advent
OF spring, is one OF the national German festivals.
1t Is customary to express the JOY felt on this day
by songs and dances and merrymaking, and thus
cheeriy to greet the beautiful awakening OF ma
ture. The Beethoven Maennerchor one or the
largest German singing societies In this city, gave
such celebration at the Terrace Garden yester-
day. The pouring rain diminished the attendance
considerably but the ardor OF the society 1t could
not damp. At four O'Clock some thirty or forty
children, prettny dressed In white, appeared
on the stage and sang merry pecan

Some OF the girls represented flowers. Others trees
green leaves entwining their little heads. while
black beetles flying about to catch the girls, &c.
During the internssr0n there was dancing by the
steal concert, which consisted Of the following Sc
lectio4s ;-"Triumphal Message" by Kreutzer,
sung by the male chorus; "Moonlit Night" by
Kings Daughter by N. Gade. sung by the mixed
chorus. The soil were rendered By Mime. Bred ELI.
these diflcut pieces rejects great credit upon the
society and the conductor, Mr. Traeger After
the concert me children sang an operette' the
concluded the elaborate festival, which was GER
tainy very enjoyable despite the inauspicious
weather.
The Saengerbund's celebration at jones' Wood
was greatly marred by the bad weather. Tne other
societies went to the various gardens frequented
by the Germans, to the Buena Grove. l3Sth street,
between Fourth avenue and Harlem River; to
Kasefang's National Park, In Tenth avenue, be-
MuIler's Sylvan Park, in MorrIsania; to Bender's

there were various small professions OF German so.

LONELINESS on THE OCEAN.

One who has never travelled upon
the ocean expects to find it somewhat
thick]y populated. He thinks of the
vast travel and traffic that 60 over
the waters, and he is ready to imag-
inc that the great deep is alive with
the hurrying to and fro of the nations.
He reads Of lands "whose commerce
whitens every sea" and he is ready to
think that the ocean itself is as full
Of sails as the harbor of some mighty
metropolis. But he finds his mistake.
AS he leaves the land the ships be-
gin to disappear. AS he goes on his
way they soon all vanish, and there is
nothing about him but the blue sea
and the bended sky. Sometimes he
may meet or overtake solitary ship
during the day; but then, again,
there will be many days when not a
single sail will cross the horizon.
There are spaces measured by thous-
ands Of miles over which no ship has
ever passed. The idea Of "nation's
commerce whitening every sea" is the
widest fancy. If all the ships that
have ever been built were brought
together in single feet, they would
fill but hands breadth of the ocean.
The space therefore that man and his
works occupy on the sea is as small
in extent as the hold on it by his pow
er is slight and superficial. Both to-
gether are nothing. The ocean cov-
ers three-fourths of the surface of the
globe, and by far the greater part of
this vast expanse is and ever has been
entirely free from his presence and
visitation.

vented by Pennsylvania miner. who
spent three years and three months
Of labor and study to complete this
mechanical wonder. bis principal
tools consisting Of two common peck.
ct knives, will be on exhibition In the
Academy of Music building for two
weeks. This remarkable piece Of
mechanism is five feet high and three
feet wide, and is supported by stand
four feet high, through which pass
the weights. On the right side of the
dial-plate is the figure of Moses hold.
ing the stone tablets, and ON the left
side the figure Of Elias. The dial
plates present four indicators, one
showing the hours, another the min
qtes, the third the day of the week,
and a fourth the day of the month.
The clock strikes the quarter hours
on two small bells, and the hours on
a large one. Over the top indicator
is a small disk indicating the age Of
the moon, and on either side the STAT
ue Of Archangel Michael and old
Father Time. All this is surrounded
with Gothic windows and finely.
carved pillars, and on each side
stands an Egytian obelisk. Above
the dial is an inscription, "The Apos-
tolic Excelsior Clock" In the mid
die Of the upper section stands the
figure of Christ holding q flag in his
hand, and above it, in q half circle,
is an appropriate inscription in Ger.

the whole upper part. Shortly after
twelve o'clock at noon, a door ct the
left of the statue of Christ opens, end
twelve apostles move out and pas
about the statue, while the bells toll
a chime. Peter is at the head carry
ing a key, and all the others have an
emblem indicating who they are.
When each one arrives opposite the
figure Of Christ, it turns it's faces to-
ward Him for q second and then
passes, except Judas, who passes
straight along. After Peter has pass
ed the bells cease to toll, and a cock
crows loud and flaps his wings. The
door then opens on the opposite side
and the apostles pass in when the
cock crows again. This march can
be produced at any time at the will
of the operator. The upper part of
the clock is elaborately and tastethlly
carved, and is surmounted with q
globe, over which is a cross; on one
side of the upper part is the aforesaid
cock, and on the other side is an ea-
gle. The whole appears to be round,
but it has sixteen corners at regular
intervals, being a very similar work
to the great Strasburg clock. which
was built some time during the four
teenth century, the like of which has
never.been produced since.
