A REMARKABLE CLOCK.

A remarkable clock is now being made in
Paris, called pendu1e boscuIant. to distinguish 10
from the swinging pendulum commonly used in
clocks. 1t is formed of a horizontal bar, with
two brass balls attached to the ends, and work
ed upon a wheel placed horizontally. This
device is not altogether new, as many house
clocks have the same principle of movement
but unlil now it has not hsen adapted to time
pieces Of any Importance, and this ons is being
made on quite a large scale. The hands are
over a yard long. and there are six faces to
the clock, on one Of which are marked the
hours, on another The minutes. and on the
third tbs seconds. This remaicing three indl-
cate, respectively, the years, months, and days.
This very ingenious piece of mechanism 10
described as requiring to be wound up oncs
every fourteen months, and as possessing every
quality Of the best time pieos invented up to
the present d'y-N Y. Weekly San.

eiples of trigonometrical science. When the
range of any point is to be taken, before
a battery begins to play, for instance, or a
regiment to fire, the horse is slipped out
Of the shafts, and the body Of he chariot
then turned completely over on its axle.
The frame, on which is built the seat,
then serves as q firm and steady support
for the instrument. The body of the
vehicle is revealed as q box or case one
metre wide, nearly two long, aud about Il
foot deep ; and when its two opposite ends
are thrown open, the instrument is ready
for use. This consists, loosely described,
of two parallel telescopes about one aud
a half metres long, and very powerful,
affixed to a frame which swings on u
common pivot. The sight ends are Just one
melIe apart, and this is. of course, the
base line Of the calculation. One Of
these telescopps-tle one at the right
hand, is movable only with the frame, Of
which both form a part. This is first
sighted on the object, and then the
frame is made fast, the FIST step being thus
completed. The other telescope is al usta-
Bile further on o pivot Of its owo,
duuI ny i1cdu5 VI Il SIlIalt WlCels is
turned to the right angle of CON
vergence with its companion-th2t is
to say, until it too covers the objec..
Now, having the base line and the
angle of conveyance, any surveyor could,
of course, calculate the distance. But in
General Berdan's instrument the wheel
which adjusts the second telescope is
marked of into metres, c%entim6tres, and
milometres, is covered by a little hand
or pointer, and when the object is
brought within the focus, the pointer
indicates exactly the distance. This IS abso-
lutely all there is OF it, In two MINUTES the
instrument can be unlimbercd, put into
readiness, and a distance found; less time,
therefore, than a gun or a battery is made
ready. Then The two ends are closed, The
body swung around in It's place, the horse
put into the shafts, the drIvera aud opera
tor mount tho box, and away they dash
TO some other point, The one that is now
completed is being tested by a German
Artillery Commission. and, il is said, the
English Wa Office is also negotiating for
one for ttial.-European Mail.

A secret SO ciety according to the st. Pc

SCHENcK's SEA-WEED ToNIc.-In the atmos-
phere experienced here during the summer months,
the lethargy produced by the heat takes away the
desire for wholesome food, and frequent perspira-
tions reduce bodily energy particularly those suffer-
ing from the effects Of debilitating diseases In or
der to keep NATURAL healthful activity Of system
we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose
ScHENcK's SEA-WEED TONIC is very efectusl. A
few doses will create appetite give fresh vgor
to the eneryatcd body. For dyspepsia 1t Is inyaua-
Bile. Many eminent physicians have doubted whe-
ther dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that pur-
pose. The sEA-WEED TONIC In its nature is totally
different from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acds in fact it assists the regular ope-
rations Of nature and supplies her deficiencies The
tonic, In its nature so much resembles the gastric
juice that 1t Is almost Identical with that fluid. The
gastric juice Is the natural solvent which, in heal

Messrs. Edtors,-Just now, amid the de-
pressing excitement" OF business oe-
spondency, local politics, and race for ONCE,
It Is relief to pause and repose for the mo
ment upon some OF the evidences OF inte-
lectual and moral progress which. thanks to
a kind Providence, do really exist in our
community.
The thought especially is turned Just now
to the Richmond College from reading tue
very satisfactory reports OF its commence
ment proceedings. From boy (alas, lang
syne) the writer has been familiar with and
interested In this institution. Its grounds
and those of lovely. old "Be!lyilIe," ada
cent, were among the savorite haunts OF his
childhood. AS college it then claimed and
possessed modest pfctsnsion; but year by
year it has developed, until to-day 1t stands,
with its able corps OF professors, an orna-
ment to the city, q realization OF success 70
its founders and patrons. Sectarian In no
bigoted or exclusive sense, 1t offers at our
very doors good collegiate advantages, with
moral training, to all classes and denomlna-
tions; nor is its patronage limited, DUE
broad
Now, with this cordial expression OF ap-
probation, will the trustees pardon ga sug-
gestion ''-the average American CITIZEN

heartily concurred in by several OF our
best-educated and most worthy citizens, or
the writer would be reluctant to advance
it. Connect with this institution Z stmili-
tary professorship;" with military drill as
at Lexington and Blacksburg, and even by
many OF the academies in the State, SO sue
cessfully adopted. Provide for some gal
liant, efficient officer OF the old army, who
sacrificed his all TO come to his native State
to wear land who still, in his heart, Wears)
the "gray" We could now point to such
an one, graduate Of West Point, for some
years an assistant professor of mathe-
matlcs there-a gentleman Of culture and
experience, unusually gifted in intellect
and mental attainment, and OF high moral
worth-reduced, in only one sense, by rea-
son OF loyalty to his native State.
The benefits from such an addition to the
College will far more than repay the outlay,
which we incline to believe can rbe safely
aided by an endowment fund by contribu-
tions for the purpose. 1t will be popular.
It has been successfully tried elsewhere.
Military bearing, with military precision
and accuracy, as habit, development OF
figure and muscle, will supersede the stoop
and slowly gait, disorderly habits, and want
Of method go common to young students,
and so prejudicial to health and so opposed
to the graceful. The drill excites emulation
and gives style and development to the tig-
ure. The uniform, with other merits, is an
element Of economy, and goes far to oblit-
crate the often painfully-realized distinc-
ton between the college dress Of young
gentlemen of large and small means.
But we purposed merely TO inoculate the
suggestion. Let the trustees ask Generals
Joseph r. Anderson, Joseph E. Johnston.
Colonel E. L. Hobson, and others, what they
think OF il. . CITIZEN.

been represented as making statements
about the Democratic ticket in the State Of

however honest, are mistaken"
On being asked about his opinions OF
affairs in the South, he said:
81 think it will turn out all right. l be-
lieve the Democratic party has glorious
future, particularly in the South, and that
there IFS highest ambitions will be realized
through the enforcement Of Democratic po-
litical principles and the destruction OF par
tisan rings"
