ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK.

This was completed after II years
of patient labor by different artists,
in 1874. and was nearly the counter
part of one which had stood in the
in the SAM place since the middle
of the 14th century. Truly this is
one of the worlds wonders. 1t is
wound up once in ninety-nine years,
and shows not only the apparent
time, but also the astronomical, the
eclipses of the Sun and Moon, calcu-
lated forever, new celestial globe,
with the procession of the equinoxes.
and showing the solar and lunar equa-
tions and other celestial phenomena.
In connection with this, a dial,
moved by the same mechanism, rep
resents the days of the week and
hours of the day. Anumber of NOV
able figures, governed by the me-
ehanism of the clock, participate in its
movements. Four statues, repre-
senting Childhood, Youth Manhood,
and Old Age, each in succession,
performs its allotted duty in striking
off the quarters, while Death strikes
the hours. As the midday hour ap-
proaches, hundreds assemble daily
to witness the mechanical movements
set in motion by it. Just above the
dial plate, are placed certain figures,
representing the Savior and twelve
Apostles, and as the hours are being
slowly counted off, each one of the
Apostles passes in succession before
the Savior, bowling as theygo. And
as he raises his hands to bless them,
amechanical cock, tapping its wings,
crows three times very distinctly.
We pass out with the crowd, fully
satisfied with our forenoon's visit to
the Cathedral.
Strasburg contains many very fine
old houses, said to be some of the
finest in Europe. One, very near
the cathedral, is alleged to be 800
years old.
It's university is very ancient and
celebrated. 1t is noted as being the
Alma Mater of Goethe. The acade-
my possesses an excellent museem
of natural history, and in addition.
the city contains fine public libra
ry and reading room. Our time is
up, and we must hasten on to Switzer-
land. RUFUs WILLARD.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS, 1876.
The Senate was not in session on
Saturday. The House resumed the
unfinished business of the day before,
which was the consideration of the
Post Office appropriations for inland
mail transportation on all other than
railroad routes. The amount of in
crease was $237 1893, and the whole
amount appropriated by the bill is
sa3, 221 ,11s.
The Judiciary committee will to.
day take up the Morrison and o. ton
dispatches. 1t is believed by many
that tho House can and will compel
Mr.. Orion to produce the dispatches
but that the acquisitions will have to
be amended SO as to FIX the dates and
the persons between whom they have
passed. Much to the surprise Of
everyone, Mr.. Hewitt, of New York,
expresses his intention to oppose
forcing Orion to give up his dis
patches. He says he is willing. SO
far as he is personally conce, ned, to
have all dispatches that he has sent
or caused to be sent, given up; but
he opposes the forcing to give up the
dispatches on principle. Now Mr..
Hewitt may be correct in his views,
but would seem to be establishing u
bad PRECEDENT to do anything which
may prevent the fullest investigation
into any and all things pertaining to
the late election.
In coming years, matters Of the
gravest importance to the country.
and even the issues Of life or death
to an individual may turn upon the
production Of q simple telegram, and
if the supena duces tscum il shorn Of
its power in this instance, how will
it be made effective in the future.
II Mr.. Hewitt, - chairman Of the
National Democratic Committee, 10
willing to have all bis dispatches sx-
amined, why does not Mr.. Chandler,
IS chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, willingly accord
the same privilegos As = general
thing, when an honorable man il
accused of crime or misdemeanor, his
conscious innocence prompts him not
only to invite but to demand the
fullest investigation; and it is but
fair to infer that If Mr.. Chambers

should be, he would say Take them

MO0dy's Temperance Work.

A writer to an eastern exchange
says of the temperance element in
the Moody meeting of Chicago:
"Another striking feature Of this
revival is the Gospel Temperance
work, which was begun some time
ago by the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, and has been given
into the hands of Mr.. Moody and his
enthusiastic co-laborer from New
York, Mr.. George G. Sawyer, the
leader of the association of regenera
ted drunkards there called the Help
ing Hand. This is new departure.
We are all familiar with Mr.. Cough
mimicry of drunken antics, and DR..
Jewett's horrible exhibitions of the
effects of alcohol on the stomach ;
but these temperance reformers
preach nothing but Gods Word,
show up the effects of sin on the
soul, and Offer Christ as the remedy
for homeless households, broken
hearted wives, ragged, hungry chill
dren, and above all, for that awful
appetite for liquor which drives the
druakard, with a hiss of scorpions, to
shameless life and a maniac's death.
Every Friday is temperance day, and,
next to Sunday, it is the great day OF
the week. On that day, at noon, the
meeting is given up to the testimo:
MES of men who have been saved
from drink, and the love of it, by the
sanctifying grace of God. Large
numbers of men who have been
drunkards from ten to twenty years
have had new hearts and new nerves,
ard stomachs, too, given them in
answer to prayer. One hundred and
seven last week signed the pledge
and began to seek Christ; forty-fve
in forty-eight hours were registered
last week, and still the good worl
goes on"

@The MASQUERADE ball give

@The Masquerade ball given
by Barnes Hook and Ladder Co., in
Columbia Hall, on New Years eve
ming, has been pronounced, by one
accord, to have been the best ball
of this or any previous season. The
attendance was larger, the costumes
better, and the merriment greater
than usual on such occasions, which,
was probably owing to the fact that
quite a number of guests were pres
ent from other points of the Sound.
The peculiar costumes and charac-
ters assumed have been described so
fully by| some of the daily papers,
that we forbear any allusion to
them. The "Hooks' may we'll con-
graduate themselves on the success
of their annual ball.

81 The Washington Star says
that not only are the two houses of
Congress divided upon the Presiden-
tial complication, but there are divi-
sions in the party ranks in each
House. Each party has its radical
and conservative wings. Curiously
enough the Southern Democratic
are the most conservative members
of the party in the Democratic House.
while in the Republican Senate the
most conservative members are the
Northern Republicans.
