SAN STEFASo is village on the Sea
of Marmora, about ten miles from Con-
stantinople. 1t is said to be inhabited
exclusively by Greeks. During the sum
mer months it is favorite place of re-
sort for the Greek merchants and bank
ers of Constantinople. Some of them
have beautiful country-seats on the ad.
.jacent coast. A few miles nearer the
city are the government powder works
Between San Stefano and the capita
there are no military works The walls
of Constantinople are in ruinous state
and in few hours could be preached Sc
as to admit of the passage of the larges
army. The concentration of the Russians
in the vicinity of San Stefano is no doub
intended as menace of the capture o
the capital, and as stimulant TO tn,
signing of the treaty of peace by tn
Turks.

The Press on the Silver Bill

On the Silver Bill the Philadelphia
Times says: And now the country
wants rest. Its languishibg business
can stand no more doubt and distrac-
tion. 1t will improve under the Silver
Bill if the money centres are wise
enough not to obstruct the fair opera
tions of the law. 1t will give conf
dence because people believe it to be a
wise measure, and confidence IN the
parent of our long lost thrift.
Philadelphia Inquirer says the mes
sage determined Congress in favor of
the bill. The greattul relief must be
supplemented by the repeal of the specie
resumption act, one of The prime fac
tors of our financial distress. The
message was Secretary Sherman'i
work, and was another of his ridicu
lous financial somersaults.
Philadelphia Press says: The Presi
dent has preserved his record, and Con
gress has done at least a good day
work in finishing the matter decisive
ly on the spot. What we want now il
rest. An undesirable certainty is less
dangerous than perpetual uncertainty
The fierce surges OF conflict are over,
and already the waves are stilling.

Another Genius M Clock Making

ONE MORE WONDERFUL riKcEHoF ME-
cHASIsM or EXHIBITION.
This seems to be an age when domes-
TIC genius turns 10 Intricate clock max
ing. But few weeks have elapsed
since the Engel dock was exhibited In
Reading, and now another OF equal in
terest is being shown to large crowds at
GA Penn street. The later arrival Is
known as the Treutman clock, and the
maker personally superintends its ex-
hibition. He is q native Of Donaldson,
Schuylkill county, showing that benight-
ed region can turn out something more
than coal and Mollie Maguires. Trout
man Is a German, but speaks English
tolerably well. He is a man looking 10
be 80 Yeas of age, above the medium in
height, has a well shaped head, full
beard and works at watch making. He
was called upon last evening by an
Eagle representative, TO whom he stated
that he had seen Engel, of Hazleton,
but did not know him personally. 81
cat down the tree and sawed II into
boards to procure the lumber of this
clock. made it myself with pen
knife and it took me the best part of
seven years"
The clock reaches from floor to ceiling
and at its widest is nearly FIVE feet. IL
is not in case, which takes off consid-
erably in its appearance. Around anu
below the main dial are groups of auto
maton figures that move with wonderful
accuracy. At the top is a representation u
of Napoleon and his horse that ate apple
dumplngs, and at intervals the horse
iudulges as naturally as a wooden horse
can be expected to do. Below this is a
figure of captain Jack, the Modoc chief,
who strikes the hours upon gong.that
brings forth procession of his warriors.
Below the main dial is a representation
of Jonah being swallowed by the whale.
Jonah at regular intervals is thrown
overheard, the whale ascends and opens
ITS poHderous Jaws, and Jonah is
"schwallowed WHOLE" just as gracefully
as Dutch Johns oysters were. At the base
of the clock is large scene representing
Christ walking on the waters. \ large
ship appears with deck load of Apos-
ties. The scriptural account of the event
is narrated by Mr.. Treu'man aud the
picture is represented automatically TO
the minutest detail. There are a num-
ber of other scenes that may be worked
separately or together. Noah's ark is re-
presented with the dove and olive branch;
and there is the "good fairy and the poor
woman" These automaton figures work
smoothly and present interesting pic
lures. A music box on the inside Of the
clock PLAYS a variety of tunes. Mr.
Iroutman handles the clock himself and
permits no Que to operate the machinery
but himself.

The South Carolina infamy.

1t is not at all surprising that the extra
ordinary and dself-condemning statement
of Ex-Governor Moses, of South Carroll
ma, should result in further publications
on the points treated. Ex-Governor
Chamberlain, indeed, from doubtless a
very intimate knowledge of the man,
declares anything Moses says or can say
as "beneath notice !" but Major Lewis
Merrill, the United States army officer
whom Moses so bitterly denounces and
accuses, makes very pronounced reply
in q letter in which he says "ex-Governor
Moses statement that 1 was regularly
paid sums of money under Governor
Scott is not true. One sum of money
was received officially by me from Gov.
Scott, with the knowledge and approval
of the General commanding the Depart
ment of the South"
Again he says: "Moses did not award
ton the whole or any part of the amount
appropriated for paying rewards for the
arrest and conviction of the Ku Klux.-
The awards were not made by him but
by board who examined and decided
upon the validity of the claims made
under the law ,and distributed the amount
among a number of persons whose names
and respective awards were published in
the newspapers at the time and since. L
did not give Moses or the chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee any
warrants or other representative of
value"
In conclusion, Merrill begs off, like a
dog with his tail between his legs, as fol
lows 81 trust you will see the force OF
my saying that it would be an outrage Oh
justice to put me on trial In the newspa
pers on the word of Moses when such &
ready and just tribunal as a court mar
tial is at the command of any respectao /
person who will father accusation,
against me-"
These scoundrels must all be punished
and we hope none of them will be allowed
to escape.
