y MYSTERIOUS TIHEPIECE.-We have
heretofore noticed the construction of an
electric clock by Mr. Edward Clark, the
ingenious silversmith of this city. 1t re-
quires no winding, but is moved solely by
electricity. If uuobstucted it will run
continuously for an indefinite period. A
singular fact in connection with it was re-
Gently discovered by Mr.. Clark. Pointing
the finger of his right hand toward the dial
of the clock, it was observed suddenly to
cease running. After close and unavailable
scrutiny to detect the cause, Mr.. Clark
pointed the finger Of his left hand toward
the dial, when the clock instantly rene we'd
its time keeping. The experiment has
been repeatedly witnessed by many Of our
citizens. No cause is apparent for the
strange phenomenon. Even at the dis
tance of six or eight feet, with large
plate glass window intervening, the effect
is the same. The solution of this singular
mystery win prove an interesting subject
of investigation TO scieutifc minds. Paris

WASHINGTON Sept. 21.-The gossip about the
Postmastership of Boston excitcs more comment
here than almost any other topic, especially in official
circles Cen Burt the incumbent, has been nnaccept-
able to the Department for long time, FOR several
reasons. lie has not filed his bond for T2J0,OOO rs
reouired by law, although nearly six months have
ELAPSED since his last appointment. Ii is asserted
that he has neglected his business, and has been
careless inattentve. and nsuhorlinate, and has az
sumed positions and rights which neither the law
nor the Department recognizes Ii - also asserted
is incompetent and finally that h. has become I'M
popular among the people of Boston. Postmaster
GeneralJewell decided to make change. lie desired
to appoint Edward s. Tobey as postmaster, but it 10
understood that Mr.. Tobey said that he would take
the Office if Gen. Burt resigned, but would not be
used to displace Mr.. Burt who is personal friend.
correspondence ween Gen. Burt and Mr. jewell
followed, which is said to be entertaining and pun
gent. Mr.. Jewell strongly intimated that Gen.
Burts resignation would be promptly accepted II
rendered Within few days the facts have been
laid before the President, with the request that Gen.
Burt be superseded. In tine mean time Gen. Burt
has come to Washington. He says he does not care
for the Office but that his retirement would lose the
party 5000 votes in Massachusetts,, and that the
public good demands that he remain at his post.
He also says his bond is OIL the way. In the mean
time. the President being from home, il is hard to
