A clock is now on exhibition in
Detroit, Mich, the work OF Mr..
Felix Meier, a mechanic, which is
said TO eclipse the famous clock at
Strasburg in complexity and inter
est. It stands eighteen feet in
height, and is inclosed in a black
walnut frame deliberately carved
and ornamented. The crowning
figure. is that of Liberty, upon
canopy over the head Of Washing
ton, who is seated upon a marble
dome. The canopy is supported
by columns on either side. On
inches below at the four corners of
the clock are four human figures
representing infancy, youth, man
hood and age. Each of these fig
ures has a bell in one hand and a
hammer in the other. The inches
are supported by angels with faring
torches, and over the centre is the
figure OF Father Time. At the
quarter hour the figure of the in
fant strikes it's tiny bell; at the half
hour the figure of the youth strikes
his bell Of londer tone; at the third
quarter the man strikes his bell,
and at the full hour the graybeard.
Then the figure OF time steps out
and tolls the hour, as two small fig
ures throw open the doors in the
column on either side Of Washing
