electors instead Of the indirect elections

that the electors Of Christiaastei's Juris-

In September, 1878, a French Archbishop
received an anonymous letter, the author Of
which offered to kill Bismarck for sig, 900. In
a second letter the writer inolosed a photo.
graph, and gave his name and address as
follows "Duohesne Ponoelet, Rue Leopold,
Seraing." The Archbishop communicated
these letters to the French Government which
informed Prince Bismarck of the affair.
.Poncelet, who was found and identified as a
workman, was watched. It was ascertained
that he was preparing to go to Germany, but
becoming aware of Police surveillance he re.
linquished his intention.
The subsequent details of the affair are not

French and American POliteness.

In an article in the February Lippin-
colt, Mrs. Lucy II. Hooper gives an anec-
dote happily illustrative of American as
compared with Partisan politeness. En-
tering a public library in Philadelphia,
she saw gentleman who, intent in the
perusal of volume, was seated after the
manner the Americanized European"
delights in:
"His chair was tipped back as far as
it could be with safety inclined, and his
feet rested on the table. 'Horrid fellow!'
said to myself, glancing at the obtrusive
members, and going forward to the book
case in search of the work wanted. 1t
proved to be of somewhat ponderous d.
mansions, and higher than could conve-
niently reach, so stood on tiptoc and tug
ged vainly at it for moment. My friend
Of the feet saw my dilemma, and down
went his book, and he sprang to my as
sistance in an instant. ALLOW me- he
said; and in a moment the heavy tome
was brought down, busted by few turns
of his handkerchief, and laid on the table
for my accommodation. If he had but
known it, there was mingled with my
thanks world of unuttered but heart
felt apologies for my former hard thoughts
respecting his attitude. And therein lay
the difference between the two nationali-
ties. A Frenchman would have died
rather than have made library table the
resting-place for his feet, but he would
have let woman he did not know break
a blood-vessel by her exertions before he
would have rendered her the slightest as
sistance."

ceived for her labor was barely sufficient
to pay for her food and shelter. This
very winter Senator Morrill,, of Vermont,
was able to procure her more congenial
position, with increased pay. She had
scarcely entered upon it, scarcely written
to her good friend note of warm thanks
for it, when alone in the night, in board
ing house on Pennsylvania avenue, the
final summons came. She called wo-
man friend in the next room, and in half
an hour was dead. Her coffin was covered
and hung close with the flower crosses
and garlands brought by friends who
honored her; yet in all the company who
gathered in that lonely lodging house,
or one to whom she really belonged.
Tears were shed, but they were tears of
human tenderness, that woman SO low
ing and unselfish should have died at last
UNDECIDED and alone. Through that gray
wintry Sabbath sympathizing men and
women went with her as far as they could
go-to the dreary Congressional Cemetery
where they laid her beside the brother,
with whose final passing the supreme OBJ
ject Of her life went out. Few knew of
her dying. Her death and burial were
barely noted. She was not member of
Congress; not man great upon the
earth. She was only woman who had
given her whole life in love and sacrifice
to man, and that man was her brother.
Surely we know not who our angels are.
They look into our eyes; they go in and
out of our DOORS they serve us, they love
us, they die for US; and we see them not,
till we perceive them by spiritual sight,
beyond the clasp of hand or the reach Of
our mortal arms.

The Clock Of Trinity Church, New York.

ANY one of our readers visiting the
great city of New York would do we'll to
spend an hour in Trinity Church, one of
the noblest ecclesiastical structures in the
country. One warm June day we made
the ascent of the steeple of this church.
A flight of stone stairs takes the visitor
to the battlements of the tower, from
which charming view of the city and its
surroundings may be obtained. But a
much extensive prospect is afforded a
hundred feet or more up the spire, should
the visitor be inclined to mount the mar
row stone stairs that wind up to the dizzy
altitude. In the tower you can see the
chime of bells and the famous clock des-
cribed below: One of the largest and
best tower clocks in this country is that
of Trinity Church, Broadway, New York.
1t was made in 1S46, by James Rogers,
and is splendid specimen of horologi-
cal workmanship.
The dials are ten feet in diameter, each
hour being cut in relief from a single
block of stone. The hour hands are four
feet in length, and the minute hands about
five feet four inches. The clock is about
forty feet above the dials, and the move

the clock tower three large cylinders,
carrying steel and brass cog wheels,
the largest wheels being two feet six
inches in diameter, and the smallest be-
ing seven inches. In all there are twenty
seven wheels, not counting the friction
rollers. The pendulum rod is made of
wood, twenty -one feet in length, and hav-
ing at the lower extremity about five feet

Wood shrinks sidewise, while iron, steel,
brass and other metals shrink in all d.

and waxed, is used for tower clock pen
dulums. Three weights are used, hung
at the ends of heavy, seasoned ropes. The
largest is on the hour hand and weighs
one hundred and twenty-five pounds
Bales of cotton are on the lower floor OF
the clock tower, SO that if the ropes break,
the weights shall not fall into the body OF
the church. BY simple trip leverage
three bells in the chime are connected
with the clock, and thus ring out the

quarters. Another lever tolls the hours

Stanley's Success.

Mr.. SANKEY'S first letter from Africa
shows that he has already, at the outset Of
his journey, accomplished great work,
the moral and material importance Of
which can hardly be exaggerated. In
thirty days he explored the Rufgi River,
which DR.. Kirk reported to be not navi-
gable. Mr.. Stanly, as the result of his
spirited and successful voyage in the Var
mouth yawl the Wave, informs us that the
river carries good navigable channel
fifty miles inland; and he believes that
for nearly half that distance the largest
Mississippi steamboat of 5000 tons
might safely float.
Forty miles from the sea it is broad and
has general depth of at least nine feet;
and the waterway beyond, practicable for
lance Of at least 240 miles. Not only has
Mr.. Stanley made known the existence Of
this important gateway to Eastern Africa,
he has hit upon the line of the overland
slavers, disclosing by his preliminary trip
how at one stroke the 5000 slaves annu-
ally driven to Oar Salaam and the North
may be rescued, and thriving commerce
opened up with an Industrious people in
habiting remarkably fertile region.
The infamous traffic now lies at the mercy
of her majesty's squadron, as soon as its
officers get orders from home to send
boats up the river, and to guard Kisu and
Oar Salaam. Mr.. Stanley, by his initial
bit of work, puts the British Consul at
Zanzibar to shame, and justi6es the belief
that he is not unworthy to continue the
work begun by Livingstone. Even the
scientific geographers who have hitherto
treated this young American with scant
courtesy will learn by-and-by to respect
him for his work.

Facts About ShOeing Horses.

As the number of men who are compe-
tent to shoe horse correctly is so amaz-
ingly small, and as horse shoeing is a
science barely in its infancy as yet, any
facts that will elucidate this important
subject will be hailed with immense sat
isfactiOn by every one who is friend to
this noblest of all domestic animals-the
horse. Whoever has made himself IA
miliar with the anatomy of the feet of
horses does not need to be told that the
prevailing manner of shooting them is
ruinous to the natural form Of the hoof,
always tending to incalculable injury to
the horse thus depreciating his market
able value Most of the horse shoers of
our country prepare the foot, fit shoe,
and secure ito the hoof in the same man
ner that ''wood butcher" fits shoe to
an old wood ox-sled. The mechanism of
a horses hoof is one of the most wonder
full and ingenious structures that can be
found in all the works of the Creator.
Beneath and in rear of every hoof there is
frog, which is tough and elastic pad
for preventing injury to the animal when
ever he plants his foot suddenly on any
hard substance. Large rolls or cylinders
of india rubber are placed beneath rail,
road cars to prevent injury to any part OF
the car or the cargo with which it is load
ed. The frog beneath the foot of horst
is designed to subserve similar purpose
But the manner in which most horses art
shod lifts them up, as it were, on shor
stills, SO that the frog cannot perform it
appropriate functions.
If we look carefully at the young hors'
when he is trotting or running, it will b
perceived that every foot is brought dow
to the ground in such a manner that tn
frog receives the powerful blow. BY TIN
means all injury to the animals prevent
ed. Science teaches us to permit tn
frog to develop and expand downward
But most blacksmiths seem to think th'
the All-wise Creator made great mis-
take when he formed the hoofs OF horse

any other appliance that will enable the
