WOODEN PENDULUMs.
An Interesting Discussion by the Lon
don CIOck-makers.

An interesting discussion recently
took place at a meeting Of London
clock-makers on compensation pendu-
lums. The general Judgment seemed
to be in favor of plain wooden pen
dulums for all sorts Of ~timepieces.
One speaker said that wooden PEN
dulum rods were generally in use for
turret and church clocks, and also in
regulators. Another concurred in
that statement, and he thought that if
wooden pendulums were good for
church clocks they might usefully be
adopted for bracket clocks. He had
accordingly altered a very old family
clock Of that description. and Of the
best London make, by substituting a
wooden for a brass pendulum, with
very decided advantage. 1t might
possibly be worth while to make a
similar alteration generally brass,
being a cheaper and a prettier mate
rial, having probably been used by the
makers of bracket elocks without con-
sideration. A third maker never used
anything but wood when he could help
it for railway, church or turret clocks.
Another speaker considered that one
Of the advantages in the use Of wood
for pendulums might be that, in a
fall Of temperature, when the rod
would be shortened, the hygro-
scopic property of the wood would
come into play, which would tend to
lengthen it. and so cause a natural
compensation by the thermometric
and Microscopic properties Of the
wood acting in opposite directions. In
some climates that certainly might be
the case, though in others they would
work together, when the effect would
be to increase the error. 1t is stated
that a wooden pendulum with a leaden
bob had been affixed TO a regulator
clock in one of the leading shops, and
was keeping excellent time. 1t was a
very simple form of pendulum, and
might be made very economic
ally. Further testimony was borne to
that form of pendulum. DR.. Mann
has used n in Natal, which was
simply a rod of vanished wood sup
porting a cylindrical bob of lead. 1t
was, Of course, subjected there to
great and rapid changes in the atmos-
pheric pressure and to diYersities of
heat, but it worked ex%cellently for
many years. subsequently it was
replaced by one of Frodham's best
steel pendulums, and though there
was some improvement, it was much
slighter than might have been expect
ed. In short, it was about as good a
pendulum as could be conceived.

Cape Ann cod6shormen, and many
sword6sh have been caught in that
novel way. What they come up and
sleep for is one Of the puzzles of their
nature. Thoy como and so as the
mackerel and mcnhadon do, and from
that it is naturally concluded that
they spend their time chasing these
small fish. What with sharks,
sword6sh. porporses, blue6sh, sea
culls, eagles and seines, and all the
rest after them, the fish of the herring
tribes have led such lives of flight
and terror that it is no longer a won
der that the movements of any school
of them seem always guided by an in
horent idiocy. 1t is less strange of
them that they are all the while vic
tins than that being caught by mil
lions yearly they should steadily in
crease. There were never more men
baden on our coast than this year.

Queen Victoria's Abdicauon.

London Letter in Dundee Adyertiser.l
Rumors of a vague but somewhat
alarming character have been current
for some days with regard to the
health Of the queen. [ have not
hitherto alluded to these reports. but
they have become so persistent that it
would be useless to ignore their exist
enee. 1t is said that for some time
past her maiesty's health has not been
in a very satisfactory state. The death
of the Duchess of Hesse CAV her a
shock from which she has not recov-
cred. and the fatigue incident on the
celebration ofthe marriage OF the Duke
of Connaught exercised a depressing
influence onher health. The journeyto
Italy is not a mere holiday trip. Sir
w. Jenner considered that a change
Of scene and an almost entire absence
from official duty of any kind were
necessary for the queen, and this is
the reason why she buried herself on
the secluded shores of an Italian lake.
II is no doubt in consequence Of the
somewhat gloomy statements regard
ing her majesty'S health which are
passing in society that other reports
connected with the succession to the
throne are also current. IL is said

Paroles Future.

New York Herald.
The sudden leap into fame in Eng
land of Mr.. Lorrillard's American
horse Parole by his easy victory over
the field aud favorite for the New
market handicap seems to have sud
denly revolutionizod the betting odds
against him in Great Britain. Our
special cable dispatch states that the
night before the race forty to one were
laid against Parole for the city and
suburban handicap by the book
makers, but now they stand FIVE to
one. Gun London correspondent also
states that Fred Archer, the Jockey
phenomenon of the English turf, has
been engaged to ride Mi. Lorrillard's
horse in his forthcoming race on Tues
day next-a fact which greatly in
ereases Paroles chances for scoring
another victory. Archer has a great
record, and is considered the best
rider of the present day, for he inya-
riably succeeds in making a horse
show his best pace on the
course. The London Sportsman
admits the splendid public form of the
American racer, and foreshadows Pa
role as the winner Of the City and
Suburban, he being already a strong
first favorite. These facts show how
good a horse Mr.. Lorillard possesses,
and it is a subject of congratulation
that America has produced so fine an
animal. If Parole wins on Tuesday,
as expected, he will net a handsome
sum for his owner, who has been for
tunate enough to secure a bet of
Ell, 900 ($S5, 1000 against G300 (Sl50O).
The race of Tuesday will, Of course,
be watched onthis side Of the Atlantic
with deep anxiety, for lift results in a
victory for the American stable the
effect will be felt in an increased in
terest in the turf events on this CONT
nent. Let us hope that Parole will
verify all these expectations.

Such an ovation as was never wit

journey eastward from the Pacific is
to be made a grand triumph. The
most extensive preparations are max
lug to dazzle aud deceive the nation by

give popularity to the third-term
movement. Under the d~exterous
manipulations of INSCRIPTIONS politi-

has gained considerable force. Many
OF the machine politicians-the sup
porters of Grantism-have returned
to Washington and are preparing to
ride into power on the wave of popu-
lar enthusiasm which they are en-
deavoring to create. Their hopes of
popular favor are at an end unless
they can shelter under the popularity
of Grant. They are stained and dis
graced, and they desire to hide under
his greatness.

sEnENApE IN THE TRop1cs.

When the nights are heavy with musk,
And the stars are ripe in the cleaning,
The low moon breaks like an apple Of dusk
Through the shadowy leaves like a pomegra-
nate husk,
And / know that my lady is coming;
By the primrose's jayelin plume,
And the cereus open, As though
An April frost, in its delicate loom.
HID woven the snOw-takeS into a bloom
OF caprioiouS and od0rous snow;
By the shadow that, like a glove,
The passion flowers leaf has thrown
In the lists where the laurels breathe and
move
BY the sweet s%yringas piping Of love,
And the iesSamine's bugles blown;
But the lisp and the laugh Of the leayes
In the bushes are low and sweet,
At bO-peep, hid in the tamarind sheaveS,
For the hour of blossom on midsummer ewes,
And the sounds of her comi2g feet.
Like the sudden bloom through the husk.
Of the primrose at eyen-tide,
She comes by eddies and pools Of musk,
That flower to shape in fragrant dusk,
And follow her 0pen-eyed.
And the blush and the bloom afford
Such n harmony hour by hour,
My soul cOnfesses o fond accord
To the sweet responsive word for word
Ofthe night in its perfect flower.

zee i'm the Sick Roam.

Mention is made in a foreign paper
of a plan pursued by an ingenious
physician for insuring a supply of ice
for use in sick rooms during the hottest
nights, and without disturbing the
patient. This plan is to cut a piece of
flannel about nine inches square, and
secure it by ligiture round the mouth
of an ordinary tumbler, so as to leave
a cup-shaped depression of flannel
within the tumbler to about half its
depth. In the flannel cup 50 formed
pieces of ice may be preserved many
hours-all the longer if a piece Of
flannel from four to five inches square
be used as a loose cover to the ice-cup.
Cheap flannel, with comparatively
open meshes, is preferable, as the water
easily drains through it, and the ice is
thus kept quite dry.

ST. LOUIS, April 2l.-Is February
last the Enquirer published an account
Of the mysterious suicide of Lorenzo

Of this city, brother-in-law Of Judge
Adams, of the st. Louis Court. The
family have made strenuous efforts to
keep the thing quiet, but the fact is
published to-day that young Rich
mond, who was a leading society man,
had seduced Judge Adams servant
girl. named Bridget Riley, and later,
on the judge finding out the scrape,
was forced to marry her, Father
Iiegler, of st. Malachio Church, tying
the knot. 1t was all arranged that the
couple were to slip off quietly for
Texas by the LIST Of March, after
which the announcement Of the mar
rage, which took place in January
was TO be made public.
In the meantime i'll -advising friends
Of the young girl put it into her head
that the family into which she had
married should makes public recogui-
ton Of her position, aud she demand
ed that Judge Adams should give a
quiet party, at which the respective
friends Of the husband and wife should
meet in social intercourse. This was
opposed, Of course, but the young wife
would not give way, aud the upshot of
the matter was that Mr.. Richmond,
rather than face the ignoniny which
his wife and her friends insisted upon,
shot himself fatally, as already de-
scribed in these dispatches. His
widow, who will shortly become a
mother, was sent to Ireland last Sat
urday.
