The clock in Trinity tower, New
York City, is the heaviest in Ameri.
en-. II might seem that in its con-
struction an effort had been made 10
ascertain how much metal could pos.
sibly he planted in a clock. The
frame stands nine feet long, five feet
high, and three feet in width. The
main wheel is thirty inches in diane.
ter. There are three wheels in the
time train, and three each in the strike
and the chime. The winding wheels
are formed Of solid castings, thirty
inches in diameter and two inches
thick and are driven by a opinion,
and arbor." On this arbor is placed
a jack, or aEothg wheel, pinion and
crank, and il takes $50 turns of this
crank To wind up each weight. II re-
quires 200 feet of three-inch rope to
wind the clock. The pendulum is
eighteen feet long and osciIlates TWEEN
ty.fve times q minute. The dials are
eight feet in diameter, although they
look little more than half that size
from Broadway. The three weights
are about eight hundred, twelve hun
dred, and fifteen hundred pounds res
pectively. A large box is placed at
the bottom of the well that holds
about bale of cotton waste, so that
if a cord should break the cotton
would check the conclusion.

The largest number of live cattle
ever shipped from New York at any
one time were taken on the 26th, in
the National Line steamer France for
London. There were nearly 600 an.
imals. The Holland, of the same line,
which sailel on June 9th, carried 443
head, the freight charges on them he.
ing nearly $4,000. The expsrtation
of live cattle is rapidly increasing, one
firm alone having shipped 5000 head
since February LIST. This increase is
due to the greater value placed on
live beet in Europe than upon that
taken out in refrigerators, it being
worth 4 cents more per pound in Eng

India rubber tires on the wheels of
carriages are becoming quite common
in England. One of these vehicles
silently gliding on moonlight night,
has a very weird effect, and if the
horse had India rubber shoes as well,
the whole affair would be horribly
ghost-like. People who do not hear
remarkably well ought also to be en-,
cased in India rubber to diminish the
effect of being run over.

A Baby'S BedfelIow.

That was a horrible sight which
met the eyes of a young mother
near Jefferson, Texas. Daring the
night she had felt something
strange on her foot. In the morn
ing, husband and wife rose early
leaving the little babe-their first
born child-in the bed. The moth.
er after IA while returned to look at
her sleepinglittle one. On turning
back the light coverlid, she saw "a
sight that almost paralyzed her with
terror-a large rattle snake coiled
close besideher child, its head, with
forked tongue and glittering eyes,
within an inch of the naked dim
pied arm of the babe. She did not
scream, hut moved quietly, keeping
her eye fixed upon the suake, got
her hands upon the child, then as
quick as thought snatched it away
from its terrible bedfellow. The
snake was then killed; but it must
have bitten the child as the mother
snatched it. away, though it was so
slight Il scratch that she in her
fright, did not notice it, until the
baby's arm began to swell and grow
purple. 1t died within a few days.

frequent and merry were theil
shouts OF laughter as one young
man, ii perfect type of the city
dandy, whom they called "Mr.
Pollard" and, evidently their
amanuensis, read aloud the descrip-
tions he was writing of each OF
Irene Seymour's gay, fashionable
guests. These descriptions were
being written to enclose with one
dollar and stamped envelope, and
sent to the world renowned clair
vOyant, Madame Gertrude Rem
mington, whose advertisements has
so often met our eyes in the col
umns of some of our journals, and
who for one dollar would send You
the picture of your future better

lineating characters, or portraying
faces could have been chosen from
this group than Mr.. Pollard Miss
Seymour was a beautiful, high
bred blonde, and was decided on
conquest of Col. Moorland, her
brothers partner, who was also
present and consulting the clair
voyant by epistolary medium. In
the midst of their gaiety, the door
opened and Douglas Seymour en-
tered dunannounced. A sudden hush
seemed to fall upon them, for every
one respected this proud, quiet,
dignified man. He was ten years
older than his sister, and she feared |
and admired him more than she |

She did not feel. He stood s;;SS teet'
two in his boot, with a Herculea"
frame, and the grace of AdOnis,
with dark, curling hair and soul
searching dark eyes, and his patri-
clan blood betrayed itself in every
lineament of his pale, aristocratic
face. His habitually stern face
was a model OF gentleness and
when it relaxed, as it
did now into one of his rare smiles.
1t reminded one of the sun break
ing out from behind dark cloud.
He seemed to shake off his busi-
ness cares at the threshold of this
gay saloon, and he greeted his
sisters guests with kind cordiality.
The company felt pleasantly sur
Drised, for it was very seldom that
Douglas condescended to help his ,
sister entertain her friends. 1t ,
