offered every aid, for in some vague
manner they began to understand that
she was the creditor to the value of all
their lives. She had paid for their safe
ty with costly sacrifice.
The freight train backed down to the
cross over switch, and the engineers of
the three trains met and began to ex-
anime the positions of the switches A
number of men also came from the ex-
press train, and among them was one
who seemed in authority. He, too, ex-
amined the line carefully, and the engin.
eers explained the matter to him, and
listened to his remarks with becoming

The crowd moved slightly, and the
superintendent advanced into the room,
He took off his hat and spoke gently to
the people near, and then he stopped
over the unconscious girl and softly
kissed her lips az father.
"She saved all our lives, and fear
she thinks she paid dearly for them"
Suddenly she opened her eyes and sat
up bewildered.

"Let me alone, l tell you," cried a

cate and sensible were silent, for the
meeting was not for words or descrip-

Then the superintendent called the
young man nearer to him and spoke to
him privately; and presently they both
shook hsnds, as if greatly pleased over
something. The young man sat down
beside the girl and whispered in her ear
"rve got the place, Lydia. We're all

Then the bells rang, and the people
began to disperse towards their trains

CURIOUS CLOCRS:
It Is probable that from the mos

ous forms and principles, used to keep
some kind OF an account OF time. ID.
deed, the variations OF lengths and diff
ferent positions OF the shadows cast by
vertical objects "a phenomenon that was
open to the observation Of all) must
have caused the morning, noon and even
ing to have been readily distinguished.
The "gnomon," which Subsequent i'm.
provements converted into "solaria,p
or sun-dial, was doubtless one Of the
first instruments employed in the meas
urement of time; the exact date Of its
invention is not clearly known, but it
was evidently at very remote period.
The dial Of Achez, mentioned by
Isaias, must have existed about 7l3 years
before the birth of Christ; and 1t is Gu.
rious example of the scanty communica-
ton which then existed between the va,
rious nations of the earth, that this in
strument was unknown to the Greeks
until about 80 years afterwards. +.
The first sun,dial employed at Rome
was placed near the Temple Quirinus by
Papirius Cursor, the Roman General, ,293
years before Christ; prior to that period
lit appears that they had no mode Of cal
culating the intermediate points of time
which occurred in the calendar but what
was furnished by the suns rising and
setting. Soon after this the sun dial be-
came so great fayorite with the Ro-
mans that they offered large sums OF
money for instruments of this descrip-
|tion, But it will be apparent to all that
1.-THE sun.dial would be useless to distin
guish the hours at night and in cloudy
weather.
Accordingly we find that the "clepsy.
dra," or water-clock, was employed at a
very early period; and Vitrusius states
that it was much improved by Ctesibius
of Alexandria. 1t was probably a mere
float with rod fixed upon it like mast,
and placed In vessel with hole in the
bottom; as the water run out the float
descended, and figures marked on the
rod, at proper intervals, showed the
number of hours elapsed. 1t is evident,
however. that these water clocks would
be far from being perfect, for the water
would not run equally,as greater guam
tity must pass out in a given time when
the vessel was full than after it was emp.
tied of a portion of its contents A re
ference to the nature of bydrostatic
pressure will sufficiently account for this
fact
The sand. glass, made like modern
minute glass, was also used by the an
clients, as appears from . basrelief rep.
resenting the marriage Of Poleus and
Thetis, in which figure of Morpheus is
represented holding glass of this de.
seription. aDr

WORSE THAN INDIANS.


About fifty years ago family named
Bubier went into the Maine forest
north of Lewiston and cut themselves.
off completely from civilization. Re-.
Gently they were discovered by CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe. Their
novels were scattered about in the
patches of cleared land which they had
made. The vagrant family had multi
piled into several families, including,
over fifty persons. and was dwelling in
poverty, ignorance, and sloth. The
log. houses were unprovided with any
thing that could contribute to human
comfort. There was no furniture ex-,
cept blocks and pieces of log, But
one person could read. and he would
MT. Not book or scrap Of printed
paper was to be found in the place.
None of the younger generation had
ever been to the nearest town. All
were profoundly ignorant of the world,
and devoid of either religion or moral
ity. They obtained precarious sub
sistence from such scanty crops as
their lazy habits prompted them to OBJ
tain, and from the game of the forest
and the fish of Dead river. In short
the. Bubiers, under the influence of
nature and solitude, had relapsed into
a barbarism more depressing than that
of the savages that dwelt in those
woods three centuries ago.

THE SITUATION IN NEW
ORLEANS.

To. days dispatches from Louisiana
indicate that war between the adj
herents of the rival Governors is immi-
nent. Packard IS organizing and
equipping his followers, and negroes
are arriving from the country to enlist
under his standard. He is determined
to maintain his position. peaceably If
assisted by Federal bayonets, but
forcibly if abandoned by the Federal
Government, All the property hold
ers and taxpayers are pledged to sup
port Nichols. and Packard's only hope
of success, If Federal troops are with
drawn from his support, lies in his
ability to incite the negroes to take up
arms in his behalf. His emissaries
are doing all in their power to arouse
the worst passions of the semi7cigilized
blacks and provoke a contest between
them and the whites, and thus compel
interference by the Federal troops.
Packard seems determined to rnle or
ruin Louisiana. He believes that his
title to the Governorship CT that State
is at least equal to that OF Hayes to the
Presidency. The Returning Board de-
olared that both carried the State of
Louisiana. and he can see no good
reason why their returns should not be
accepted as final in his case as well as
in that of President. He is bent on
mischief, and will not surrender his
claims to the Governorship without
struggle, which may involve the dis
truction of life and property and cause
the streets of New Orleans to run with
blood. Had the Democratic party
acted on Packard's principle Washing
ton would have been scene of strife
and bloodshed on inauguration day.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
matters are assuming feverish cast
around the st. Louis hotel and things
look more than ever like conflict.
By $50 this morning. there were gath
cred around the st. Louis and Royal
streets entrances about l, 600 negroes,
who served to make the place pande-
monium. These negroes are evidently
from the country and are here to JOIN
Packard's militia which be is new re-
cruiting. He now admits that he will,
AS soon as possible, take back the po-
lice stations and says that be would
not remain in the capitol building two
hours ii he had all his arms back. II
can be put down as a settled fact that
within very few days at the. furthest
Packard will break the peace. His
hackers in the hotel are hot for war
and nothing but its probable outcome
is talked Of. 1t is reported that, he Is
already negotiating for the purchase
of arms and that all the funds convert
IDLE ere to be used in securing them.
They boast that they don't want.the
troops to interfere and assert that if
might makes right they have the right.
This mornings Democrat editorially
says: "Our citizens should be prepared
for the turning loose on the streets OF
a gang of ignorant negroes led by bad
men, for that is now evidently the pol
icy Of Packard, The situation is as
Stunning much more Of war-like atti-
tude than ever before since January
9th and The responsibility OF the mat
ter will rest with Packard, and the
fruits he will gather will be- most bit
ter"

ELECTION BETS.

In several places east men who bet
that Tilden would be elected Presi-
dent of the United States on the 7th of
last November are advised not to pay
the bets because Hayes has been in
augurated.. The New York Sun, in re-
ply to e correspondent who asks what
he shall do in case of that kind, says:
Don't pay. If either party is under
a moral obligation to pay such bets, 1t
is the party betting on Hayes"

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

The United States Government is
building Postoflice in Atlanta,
Georgia. There is nothing strange or
surprising in that fact, as the Govern
ment frequently builds Postohices, and
owns many fine buildings erected for
that purpose in the large cities. In
sight of the new Postoffice there is a
mountain of granite. yet the granite
used in the building is shipped from
Maine. That is the wonderful part of
the story which creates much comment,
OF course the new Administration is
