1 Novel Piece o. xecdauIsm.

Mr.. Andrew Gaudron is, after near
ly 3 year of constant labor, about
completing complicated piece CT
mechanism intended to represent
''The Resurrection of Gen. Washing
to exhibit at the Centennial Exposi-
ton. The whole apparatus is en-
closed ia cabinet feet high, 81 feet
broad, and q feet deep. The lower
half contains the machinery, and in
the upper portion the diOrama dis
played. The scene is a fac-simile of
the tomb OF Washington. Upon one
side stands an American and on the
other French soldier of the present
day, while at the side and upon the
recess beyond are painted ailegOrieal
figures and enblems. The machin-
cry, which is quite complicated, is op-
Grated by spring similar to those
used in a clock When it is SIT in
motion a miniature cannon is fired,
bell is tolled, and a curtain suspend
ed across the face of the recess of the
cabinet, rises slowly, bringing to view
the tomb and sentinel soldiers. The
latter stand at an order. In the course
of a minute or so the tomb opens, q
facsimile of the father of his coun-
try arises therefrom. Simultaneous
ly, the soldiers face toward the tomb
and present arms, and Washington
performs the usual military saluta-
ton. Then there descends from the
clouds an American eagle, holding in
its taions a staff, on one end of which
is an American flag, and upon the
other the National ensign of France,
carrying in its beak n laurel wreath
with which its crowns the resurrected
Washington. The machinery con-
tinues to revolve, and the scene is re-
versed and repeated as often as 1t is
desired, each representation requiring
about three minutes. The figures are
made upon a scale of about three
inches to the foot the heads are
carved by Mr. Julius Melchers, and
the bodies are infinitely correct and
properly proportioned. The guns
carried by the soldiers are in ex-
act imitation OF Springfield rifles,
and the costume of the soldiers
is patterned after the uniforms
of the armies of this country and
France. The dress of Washington is
the same in color and style as that
worn by him at the battle of Trenton.
The construction of this curious piece
of mechanism hes brought out great
deal of ingenuity, and, SIS can be
readily surmised, embodies a great
amount of fine and skillful workman
ship. The inventor was formerly
employed at the Detroit Safe Works
and also at the Pullman Car Works
but of late, having fitted up shop in
his own house, be has spent many
months in perfecting this represents
tien of the resurrection of Washing
ton.-DetrOH Tribune.

The PEACH CROP.

A correspondent Of the New York
Times, writing from Bsrlin, Mary
land, does not give very gratifying
report of the peach crop in that Sec
ton. He says:
1t may safely be asserted that the
peach crop on this peninsula will be
less than one-fOurth OF what it was
last year. or this there is no doubt,
and the growers will be most for
tunate II they get even One-tenth as
much 1t will certainly be an unu-
sual occurrence II they d.. Peach or
chsrds seldom produce any crop at all
following such abundant yield as that
of last year. The supply Of peaches
has been kept up by the upper part of
the peninsula yielding n crop one
year and the lower the next, and
so alternating I; but in 1874 the
crop wSs exceedingly light
all over the peninsula, scarcely
amounting to anything, aud whole
orchards netted the grower as high as
81 IS per basket. Last year every tree
on the peninsula bore fruit in greater
abundance than ever before known,
and il the orchards produce anything
of consequence this yearit will be
phenomenal crcp. AS suggested by
the authority quoted, the wet months
Of August and Septembe Of last year
may perhaps save the crop to some
extent this year, but il the Delaware
peach crop OF this year reaches zoo, 900
baskets, or one tenth of what was
grown last year, it will be q surprise
to old peach growers.

That there lived a little girl who had Z

or making ugly faces whenever anything

And, TO make the matter worse, nearly
everything dIspIeased her.
She did kot like to get up, and she hated to
es TO befs ----se

bewitehed her;
They reasoned with her long, and finally
they switched her;
But the more they switched and reasoned,
the worse their darling grew,
Until they owned-to each other-they
didn't know what TO do!
It was just about this time she went for q
walk one day.
Because she had been told on no account to
stray
Outside the ace-garden,-you've read in
many a rhyme
The folks always lived in palaces, "Once
upon a time"
So she strayed away from home as far as
ever she could.
And found herself at last in a dark and dis
NAL wood,
When all at once she saw,-you may think
she was afraid
Lying loose among the trees, all the faces
she'd ever made.
There was the face she made to frighten her
little brother;
And a worse one still she made when she
would not mind her mother
And as she looked around they still grew
worse and worse
There was every single face she had ever
made al her nuisel
And many more beside,-she'I done IL for
years, you See
So the place was just as full of faces as IL
could be.
She turned and ran, poor thing, as well as
she could for fright,
And when she did get home they found she
was crazy, quite.
They sent her to an asylum az once; but
there alasI
By way Of amusing her, they gave her a
looking-glass.
When they opened her door next day, there
was nothing In the place
But broken looking glass, and terrible

OpenIng OF tne congress Of 177l.

In September, IVA, the delegates
from eleven Provinces assem- bled in
Carpenters Hall, the State House be-
ing occupied by the Assembly. The
venerable Peyton Randolph was chOs-
en- president, and the Man of Truth,
Charles Thomson, Secretary. There
was much hesitation as to whether
the Congress should be opened with
prayer or what form of prayer would
suit Quakers, Churchmen, and Pres
byterisns. Mr.. Duche was finally
chosen to open the session, and, in
full canonIcaIs, read the usual petit
tions and the fifty-fifth Psalm. The
news of the cannOnade of Boston had
just reached the Assembly. SIT SEEM
ed" writes John Adams, in letter to
his wife dated September Is, IVA, ''as
if Heaven had ordained that Psalm to
be read on that morning" When its
sublime invocation of Gods help in
extremity had been read, Mr.. Duche
brOBe into an extemporaneous prayer,
which brought tears into the eyes of
every man present, and made them
one by an electric sympathy. Charles
Thompson afterward related that a
profound silence ensued after the
prayer, so deep was the sense of re-
sponsibility upon each man present.
A grave-looking man in an unpowder-
ed wig, coarsely dressed in gray, at
last arose and began to speak, to the
annoyance of the Secretary, who re-
GREETED that country parson, as he
Supposed, should have mistaken the
occasion for display OF his ability.
"But an unusual force of argument
and a singular impassioned eIoquence
soon electrified the house, and an eX-
cited whisper passed from man to
man: 'Who is it p There were few
present who knew Patrick Henry"
The members of the Congress were
entertained by the gentlemen of the
city at grand banquet in the State
House, at innumerable feasts at pri-
vate houses, and finally by the As
semblY in a public dinner, where
the first toast was the King. and the
next Mr.. Hancock. John Hancock
comes early TO the front as most
noticeable figure against the back
ground of this blurred and confused
time, not only from the steadiness of
his loyalty, when so many paused ir-
resolute, but from q certain dramatic
instinct in the man which lifted him
to the height of every occasion as Oh
pedestal. He was about thirty
nine at this period, but looked older,
being enfeebled by the gout; was tall,
thin, and dressed with q scrupuIous
eye to effect. A visitor describes his
morning costume at home as q red
velvet cap with band of fine linen, q
blue dRmssk gown, white satin en-
broidered waistcoat, black satin small
clothes, scarlet shoes, and white silk
stockings with jeweled clasps. It is
likely that Hancock in mind or body
was never found en- dishd6ilIe and
his dramatic exclamation two years
after, as he signed the Declaration,
and the dramatic boldness or the sig
nature itself, were due, not to fervor
OF loyalty nor to vanity, but to keen
aesthetic sense Of the fit expression OF
each passing moment.

From the Denver Coll News
Sn6H a Hundred Feet Deep.

A gentleman who recently came
over from the Pacific slope relates
some interesting incidents OF a trip
over the two great ranges OF noun
tains. All along the Sacramento
Valley everything was smiling. The
cattle were luxuriating in grass knee
high, and the plains were decked with
flowers. Ats o'clock P. NJ. the train
turned eastward to ascend the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, and by 10 O'Clock
reached Blue Canon, from which to
Truckee the snow was from four to
twelve feet deep, and in the gulches
1t was in some places 100 feet deep.
Those who have kept snow gauges on
the Nevada report fall OF 389 inches
of snow during the winter. Immense
snow plows operated by locomotives,
and hundreds of Chinese, had opened
the roads over the Nevadas,
and the train was on time until it
reached the town of Wells, on the
Humboldt Mountains. There they
overlook the trains which had left
San Francisco for the four days pre-
viously. The road from Wells to
Toano (thirty-six miles, was still
blockaded, no trains having passed
over that section for four days. The
was any depth from four to fifteen feet.
AS the wind was still blowing, to
open the track with shovels was as
futile as dipping the ocean dry with
a spoon. Seventeen locomotives were
assembled at the western end of the
blockade, eight of which were put be-
hind an immense snow plOw. The
five passenger trains were massed in
to three, and thus arranged a charge
was made on the obstruction. As
such power was hard to resist, in
three hours the snow plow was pushed
through to Tosno, Rnd the cara
van of trains reached Oregon on
Iy three hours behind time. But
the successful train demonstrates that
trains can be pushed through any
blockade ever likely to impede any
road. The change coming down the
mountains was as great as going up
them. In the valley of Salt Lake
farmers were blowing, and the atmos-
phere mild. Starting out again in q
few hours the deep SHOWS were en-
countered on the Wssateh range, 50
deep that at some of the villages the
comb Of the roofs of some of the
houses could only be seen But there
was no obstruction yet the cars
crowded along between snow banks
as high as the roofs was interesting to
the passengers.

fhe sIgHers or the Declaration Of In
deDendelce

The following facts respecting the
ipsrsoBality of the ilIustrious men who
lmperiled their property, their liberty
and their lives by attaching their sig
natures to that instrument which es-
taDilshed our national independence
vii be read with interest as the Gen.
tennlal anniversary Of the day which
Pllnessed the event draws nigh
The thirteen States then comprising
the American colonies were represent
ca in the assemblage that passed the
neesure by fifty-one members. Thir-
ty-seyen enjoyed the benefits of col
egiate training, twenty were lawyers,
four were physicians, five clergymsn,
tnree were farmers, and the re-
mainder were engaged in various
mercantile pursuits, except Roger
Sherman, the shoemaker and
Benjamin Franklin, who boasted
9f being a printer, yet a phi
losopher. Benjamin FrapkHn was
the oldest among members and Ed
yard Rotledge the youngest. Robert
Morris was the mcst opulent, and
Eas the fnancier of the ADMINISTRATION,
pegotiating extensive loans for the
ase Of the government cpon his
personal credit. He died in prison,
paving been incarcerated for debt-a
Beautiful commentary on those laws
taat made no discrimination between
he honest but unfortunate debtor
and the convicted felon. Daniel
Adams was the most needy, bis i'm
p0yerished condition being we'll
knowD. The management of his
pe,uniary affairs made is necessary
for him 10 seek burial at the public
expense. Josiah Bartlett was the
first to vote for the measure, and
first after President Hancock to sign
the document. Two of the mem bers,
John Adams and Thomas JeffersoH
were subsequently Presidents. 1t is a
remarkable TACT that these two men,
having been Presidents, associated on
the committee that framed the De-
clsration of Independence, and the
first recognized leaders of two great
political factions of our country, died
on the same day, the Fourth of July,
1926, the f1ftieth anniversary of the
day upon which they had contributed
so much to the welfare of their eoua-
trymen. Charles Carroll was the
only member that added his place
of residence, and the reason of its
being done in this instance is
somewhat peculiar. The patriots
that formed that convention.
knew fall well that by their action
on that day they hazarded their lives.
When Carroll was signing, some one
remarked, "He will get off there
are so many CAROLS they will not
know which tn taka ~ GtNOf an ~
replied he. and he addad ''oi Carroll
ton" He lived to see all the memora-
ble men with whom he acted on that
eventful day pass away and enjoyed
the prosperity OF his country until
1882. when he died in his min sty-tifth
year.
