UNCLE SANS CLoCK.--At the Naval
Observatory in Washington stands the
clock which regulates the time for the
whole country. 1t is not beautiful, like
many lovely French clocks that noiseless
ly tick upon the parlor mantle, in fact it
is large and tall, with plain face, and
body Of dark wood, and without orna-
mentation. 1t is much like the old fash
ioned clock that stood in our grandmoth- :
er's Kitchen. 1t nowhere touches either
the floor or the walls Of the building, but
is securely fastened to a stone pier, which
rests upon a solid stone foundation, 50
that it may not be affected BY any motion
Of the building or ground. Rains may
descend, foods come, winds blow and
beat upon that house. but the clock feels
it not, for it is built upon rock.
1t is a splendid timekeeper. At the
present time it gains at the ra;e Of AS
of a second per day.
In order that the people all over the
country may have uniform time, so i'm
portant for railroads, steamboats, and
other public conveyanccs, at three min
utes before twelve each day this clock
is connected, by means of a galvanic
battery, with the wires Of the Western
Union Telegraph, which extend into the
room containing the clock. All other
messages, however important, must give
way for these three minutes, and in ev-
cry town and station from Name tc
California, where there is telegraph
operator, as the pendulum of the clock
ticks, each second is recorded by the tel.
cgraph, and at the very instant of twelve
two clicks are given.
AT the same instant huge black bal
which is drawn up a few moments before
descends upon the dome of the observa
tory, aud hundreds all over the city stand
watch in hand. to see it drop, to keep, n.
we say, ball time" Thus, when thii
drops, a clock in every large town in tho
land tells the hour Of twelve.

HOME SICKNESS. This is not COM
monty considered a disease, except in
rhetorical sense, but it is known some
times to assume the form Of a mental
disorder. Among a number Of recruits
who came recently with the 10Th regi-
ment to garrison at Montelimsrt was
youth named Marchse, from Cerreze.
From the time OF his arrival he did not
cease to weep and lament for his coun-
try home day and night. His grief was
so great as to move the pity of the Off
GERS, and they softened some of the
military regulations in his favor. 1t was
Of no use. The mountains of Correze
were ever before the tear-flled eyes OF
the unhappy conscrpt. One day, instead
Of returning to the barracks at evening
call, the poor youth betool; himself to
the railway, and placed his neck on the
rails. lie was killed by passing train.

THE ROMANCE OF a ROSE.

A story comes TO US from the coal mines
of the Lackawana valley-a simple story,
but rich with immense possibilities. In
the Diamond shaft there was no steadier,
harder worker than Jim Gardiner. What
he did with his money wasaong mvste-
ry-he had no vile, no family. no expen-
sive habits-no relatives that anyone
knew of, and yet no savings bank account.
1t was learned later that all but the little
needed for his daily wants went for char
ity-found its way quietly and unobtru-
sively, into the hu:s of the women and
children whose husbands and fathers had
gone down in the crash of falling tim bers
or come forth black and crisp from the
scorching fire damp. There was some
thing about Gardiner that suggested n
former life Of higher grade. lie talked
but little, but that little WAS in words well
chosen, and Of choicest dialect. His
dress was as rough as the toughest, but
he carried it IS man who had been US
ed to face the world smilingly. They
called him Gentleman Jim " in the
mines, but they all liked him as a man
who always played fair and asked no
odds. In the accident Of last April,
when the roof of the mine fell in, Gardi-
ner was killed. 1t appeared in evidence
that there were n few seconds during the
crack of timbers before the roof fairly
came down, and in that brief time, in
those few beats of the pulse, Gentleman
Jim had caught two boys with his lion.
like strength and tossed them out Of the
fatal cham Der into the safe main alley.
Then ha went down with the roof
When his body was recovered the next
day they found him with his hand thrust
inside his vest and clasping tight a little
pocket book. There was nothing in il
save a card, on which was fastened, with
q drop Of sealing wax on the stem, al

WOLVES IN FRANCE.-There is a great
complaint in several districts of Franceof
the ravages of wild boars and wolves,
which have greatly multiplied of late
years. The French Agricultural Society
is considering proposals for exterminating
them.
The number Of wolves which destroy
animals during year is reckoned ut q
coo, each of whom kills 900 francs worth
in that time. This involves Il yearly loss
of two million francs, and az sheep are
their chief victims, a great expense is ne
cessitated for enclosures.
Pigs, cattle, horses, dogs, and fowls are
al so devoured in a minor degree. SINH
lar complaints are made in Russia, not
wthstarding price per head Of all wolves
killed. Wolves have sometimes been do
mesticated, but are apt to show treachery.
Cuvier relates an instance of one which
had been reared from an early age by a
menagerie. The wole was at first much
depressed, and lost his appetite but in
time he regained his spirits, became az
tached to his keepers, and appeared to
have forgotten his former affection. After
an absence of Is months, his master re-
turned. Without being able to see him,
the wolf heard his voice, and yelped and
gambolled with joy. On being liberated
from his cage, he jumped upon his mas
/ ter in an ectasy Of delight. On the re-
newed absence Of his master, he again re.
lapsed into sadness, but again recovered
The next visit of the gentlemen was de.
ferred for three years, but he was still un.
forgotten, and the same manifestation:

Two TYPES OF WoMEN.-We are by
no means disposed to encourage the plain
tive class of aflectedly aiIing women, but
we believe that there are many wives who
unwisely deprive themselves Of the sym
pathy which is their due and Of the care
they require by hiding their sutTerings
through fear of disheartening or perhaps
repell;ng their husbands. 1t is astonish

who has run rusty nail in his foot, or

THE BLACK HILLS.

Some one, writing from Deadwood City
gives an acc o ant ms TO how they do things
in the Black Hills. The account will be
interesting, as it corresponds with life in
some OF our California ming camps in
the Fall of 40 and Spring of 80. Not
tll Of the California diggings were of the
hard character which the Deadwood cor
respondent reports that city to be, but we
had neighborhoods in the old pioneer
times that would run an even race with
the Black Hills. The correspondent
says:
There is no regularity about anything.
A man opens a place of business and
makes lots Of money, then be gets the
prospecting fever, starts for the gulches
ard shuts up his shebang. When place
is shut up it means that the owner is out
digging, has been killed in fgh:, or i:
of on spree. We have no municipal
government at all. Every man think:
he is Mayor Of the town. Every once il

the deputy marshal, as stated. The deputy
marshal got his writ twenty -four hours earlier
than the deputy sheriff. The deputy sheriff did
not wait on the landing for the Kaiser, but took
passage in pursuit of her on the only boat to be
had; he met the Kaiser. boarded her, served the

on her until it was decided who had q right to
