Perpetual Motion Accomplished.

A magnetic clock, invented by Daniel
Drawbaugh, of Midtown, Cumberland
County, Pa, is sufficiently remarkable
to be worth description. The magnet
ism of the earth, an inexhaustible source
of power, is made to oscillate the pen
dulum; and the simplicity of all the
works gives an assurance of the least
possible friction. At "a certain point the
movement of the pendulum itself shuts
off magnetic connection with the earth,
and at another point restores the con-
nection, thus securing the conditions
necessary to produce its oscillations.
The works are so ingenious and simple
that it is no wild assertion to make that,
were it not for the unavoidable wearing
out caused by even the smallest amount
of friction, the clock would ran as long
as the solid earth endures. This clock
is hung against board partition, with
all the works exposed, subject to the
Earrings of machinery and distractions
from dust setting upon it, yet since
March 1, 1877, it has been running con-
tinuously and uniformly, with only
slight reported variations, as tested by
transit observations at noon.-HGrris-

and sentenced to the Dry Tortugas-
whence he is aided to escape by some
of his relatives, now in the British
Parliament, but the boat carrying
him and others from that barren
island is capsized, and all are
lost in an unmarked grave.
Such man as Col. Grenfell was likely
to aid such a man as Gus Livingstone,
and he did. A Captain of a vessel was
met and negotiated with to take Living
stone and his fair follower to Smyrna.
This Captain became enamored with
Livingstone. and on his arrival at Smyr-
ma introduced him to his friends. Then
the loving pair lived in peace for some
time. But a greater conqueror than
love appeared upon the scene. Death
carried off the fair one of the nunnery to
a closer cell.
The surroundings of Smyrna possess
ed but brief charms for men of the
stamp of Gus Livingstone. He went to
Constantinople, the hot-bed then, as
now, of intrigue of all kinds. He
sought commission in the army of the
Sultan, and after much delay and fruit
less inquiries about his antecedents he
was admitted to serve the Grand Seig-
nor if he would pray to the great Mo
manned. He became Mohammedan
at once, and an officer Immediately af-
ter. In Turkey, as the patron goes so
goes his prOteges. Gus Livingstone's
patron was disgraced and his aid dis
missed.
Bereft of his power, his female slaves
and his luxurious surroundings, he be-
gan to reflect. At the best of times
there are few cities like Constantinople
10 bring man to a knowledge of him
self. New York comes next. Living
stone in despair addressed letter to the
late Cardinal Antonelli and implored
pardon and aid. He also wrote to Don
Carlos, and he sought position. The
dead Cardinal replied not. The living
King answered. Livingstone became an
officer once more. He served with Don
Carlos and won his spurs. In duel he
had lost some blood with a Castilian,
and was left at hospital, when he was
taken prisoner. He sought the aid of
the American Minister at Madrid to OBJ
tain his release and succeeded. When
the present war between Turkey and
Russia commenced, tall, thin and
worn-looking prematurely old man
sought military position at St. Peters
burg. He was refused. Stories passed
and repassed in high quarters about the
knowledge this applicant had of the
Turks, and in time he was rendered the
position of 'scout independent. He
accepted. $40 enter Plevna
is but the work of bold man with dar-
ing and dash. l have just come out of
it, said Livingstone to the Command
er-in-Chief of the Russian forces. ''Go
into it again, and with these men to
follow said the General; and in he
went with the conquering army, and
there found at least a resting place and
Il grave. Gus Livingstone was shot, and
one of his New York companions, Ed
mund Phoenix, just from Russia, tells
me this story in all the details, of which
the above is merely a summary of the
main facts, minus the aliases Living
stone employed to cover his exploits and
gain his objects.

Old Laredo.

The original Laredo, on the Mexican
side, says correspondent of the CiUi1
Engineer, is a small town of some 700
inhabitants, New Laredo, on the Texas
bank, having about 500. Old Laredo
is built in the usual Mexican style, of
course. On the immediate bank of the
river it is laid off in very narrow streets,
generally the case with all Mexican
towns, and in imitation of the towns
and cities of Spain. The houses are a
mixture Of stone and adobe, and gener-
ally but one story high. The Laredo
ans live in the usual style of Mexicans,
and subsist on the everlasting tortilla,
smoked beef and pepper, the last men,
toned being an Indispensable article for
the table of every Mexican, from Diaz
down to the lowest peon that works the
plantations of the valley of Oriz-
aba. The wealthy citizens of the towns
initiate the American fashions; some
ladies of the Mexican bon ton, in fact,
dress fully up to the New York or St.
Louis fashion-plates, and what they lack
in surprising their st. Louis, Chicago,
or New York sisters in this respect, is
the glorious and warm brilliancy of
their dark Spanish eyes that flash under
clouds of jet-black tresses, which are
suffered to languidly float over their fair
foreheads. Old Laredo is destined, in
a very short time, to become the termi-
nus of at least two lines of railway, con-
Meeting it with the vast railway system
of the United States. One of these is
the International and Great Northern
Railway, already completed to Austin,
the capital of Texas. Both will connect
Laredo with St. Louis direct, and as
good thing as the capitalists of st.
Louis could do would be to at once in
vest in Old Laredo lots and blocks,
which neither Diaz nor the robbers of
Coahuila can put upon the backs of
pack mules and carry away.

The Old School Book.

On the old school book, in it's dusty nook,
With fearful eyes 1 gaze;
Come down, old friend, for an hour Wen
spend
In talk of the bygOne days.
l gaze once more, as in days of yore,
On the task that vexed the brain;
The lesson done, and victory won
And 1 feel Pm child again;
And seem to stand, with the youthful band,
In the old school house on the green:
I hear the fun ere the school begun,
And join in the gladstone scene;
1 take my place, with a sober face;
Ger the well carved desk I bend,
And hourly pore DER the learned lore
OF thy wondrous page, old friend.
Then our cares were few and our friends were
true,
And our griefs were rare and light;
The world was nought $50 we fondly thought)
But region of pure delight.
But time has Sped and our path has led
Through the dark and fearful scene:
And passed away are the good and gay,
Like the old house on the green.
But We'll sing no more ofthe days of yore,
For the teardrop dims the eye;
Sleep on, old book, in thy dusty nook,
As in years that have glided by;
No guilt we trace in thy honest face,
But a mine of gold within
Enriched the youth, they sought for truth,
In the old house on the green.
