senses when, five years after the disappear-
ance of her husband, she one dav received a
note from him, through the mail stating
that he was alive. The note came from the
frontier of Arizona. 1t was painfully brief
II contained only the information. as briefly
put as possible, that after leaving home one
fair Saturday morning he had travelled West
and Joined the regular army. In all that
time he had been on duty on the frontier
He offered no explanation OF his going away
and said nothing about coming back. There
was no questioning the CcnuineneSs Of the
letter. II was in the peculiar handwriting
of Mr.. Post, and was so pronounced bv all
who We're familiar with 1T, and compared
exactly with his writing on the books Of his
old firm, and with the numerous letters left
by him. On receiving this startling intel
hgence, Mr.. Lewis notified the insurance
company of the fact of his Son-in-law being
alive, and made good his bond to the com
pany for the 5000 paid to his daughter.
Post never came home. Not long after
this his wife received a letter from his Off
GERS bearing the intelligence that he had
died in the army and was buried. The let
ter stated also that he had entered the army
under an assumed name. and il was only
short time before his death that he revealed
his identity. Mrs. Post Is still living with
her father on Mount Auburn. \ strange
fact in connection with this story is that
Posts father left his family i'm New York
as mySteriously as did the son leave his
family in this city. Both father and son
went to Arizona.

CAN CATS REASON?-BaronN Y on Glei-
chen. a German diplOmast, used to tell
a story of a favOrite cat as a proof that
the feline race can think and draw prac-
tical conclusions. The cat was very fond
of looking in mirrors hung against the
walls, and would gnaw at the frames, as
if longing to know what was inside
She had, however. never seen the back
of a mirror. One day the Baron placed
a cheval-glaSS in the middle of the room,
and the cat instantly took in the novelty
of the situation.
Placing herself IN front, and seeing a
second cat, she began to run round the
mirror in search of her companion. At
ter running around one way several times
she began to run the other way until
fully satisfied that there was no cat be-
side herself outside of the glass. But
where was the second cat
She sat down in front of the glass to
mediate on the problem. Evidently III
side. as she had often before imagined.
Suddenly a new thought occurred to her.
Rising deliberately, she put her paws
on the glass in front and then behind.
walked round to the other side, and mea-
sured the thickness in the same way.
Then she sat down again to think.
There might be cavity inside, but il
was not large enough to hold cat. She
seemed to come to the deliberate cOnclu-
sion that there was a mystery here, but
no cat, and it wasn't worth while &c
bother about it. From that time the
Baron said she lost all curiosity about
looking glasses.

victiOn that his companion was safe in
the camp; while in the case of the dead
man, who knew his comrade to be out in
that direction. his otherwise keen pene-
tratiOn was no doubt blunted and his
nerves less steady than usual on account
OF recent illness, from the effects of
which he had by no means recovered.
The enfeebled state of his system had in
fact accelerated his death for the shot
which had taken effect in his shoulder
was insufficient of itself to have caused
1t; but it was supposed. feeling faint,
he had dismounted to drink, and had
fallen forward with his face in the wa
ter, and unable to rise, had actually been
drowned.
So ended the life of one of the most
daring volunteers at that time serving in
the republican army; a man of the
greatest value to the flag under which
he served, and dangerouf to its enemies.
His cOmrade, the brave Scot, was killed
IN action three months later. Chambers

CURIOUS CLOCKS.

There is a curious clock at Versailles.
near Paris, called the O'clock of the
Death of the King - This clock is
wholly without works, and has only one
hand, which is stationary to the hour.
and is set to denote the time of the
Kings demise, where it remains till the
death Of his successor. This clock was
first ordered by Louis Kill, and contin-
ued in use until the death of the unfor-
tunate Louis XVI. This custom was
last observed at the death of Louis
XVIII, in 1924. a farmer named JOS
eph CassOn, residing on the right bank
of the Lot, near the bridge of Alguillon.
has produced a clock which he Justly
designates ''the moving calendar -
There are several dials to note the hours
minutes, seconds. the days of the week
the days of the month. the months of the
year, the years and centuries, the rising
and setting of the sun, moon. etc. ; the
whole acting with remarkable eXactitude
and precision. The works are encased
in glass and are so arranged that they
may be inspected by the visitor, leaving
no doubt on the mind as to the execution
OF the workmanship or regularity of the
movements. Around the dials and
works there is a gallery of about yard
in length, with cells in the centre and a
bON tA cll NftOit Ciltl W lltli lltG tlbth II
about to strike, the door of one of the
cells opens, and the figure of death.
armed with a scythe. followed by figure
of our Saviour, with a'whip in His hand,
who drives the enemy before Him, and
finally thTustS him into another cell. At
the first stroke of the clock a little cock
perChed upon the cross of the steeple
flaps his wings and stretches out his neck
as if in the act of Growing. As soon as
the clock has finished striking the figures
return to their respective cells, taking
care to close the doors behind them.
Thrice a day-at A. NJ, at noon, and
6 p. M-by means of some ingenious
mechanism the sound of the Angelus is
heard. The Blessed Virgin leaves her
cell, appears on the gallery and retiTes TO
an OratOry. At the same time an angel
dcscends from one of the towers and
places himself before Our Blessed Lady,
bending in the act of salutatiOn. The
Virgin is made to appear disconnected,
trembleS and shows signs of deep emo
ton; after which the angel resumes his
former position, and performs the same
movement twice. All the works of this
admirable machine are made of wood
and brass. and are remarkably well exc
cuted. The inventor designed and car
ried out his plan without any assistance
During the day he worked in the fields,
and at night by the light of his lamp, in
the corner of his garret, he constructed
this extraordinary clock

a correspondent as to how he would like

SIGHT SEEING IN Mag
are Falls is the grandeSt cataract in the
world. Half of it belongs to the United
States, yet it is not possible for an Am
erican citizen even 10 look at the falls
unless he pays at least twenty-five cents!
Watkins Glen. New York, is wonder
full chasm, wild and picturesque, but the
free American citizen must pay fifty
cents to enter it. 1t is hard to fence in
Mount Washington, and it has not yet
been accomplished. but as the fares are
much higher than the mountain the
free American citizen may think he can
save money by walking to the top. He
is mistaken. He will have to pay eighty
cents toll to walk up. The Au Sauble
chasm is gloomy and grand, but it costs
fifty cents to see it. The Flume at the
Franconia Notch is worth seeing sew
entv-five cents worth. The Whirlpool
at Niagara is sad and sOmber; at least
it makes the free American citizen feel
so when he goes there with q party of
ladies-fifty cents each. The falls of
MontmOrency are romatic. historical
and beautiful-twenty-ti cents adj
mission and fifty-cents toll. And thus
it goes. If American spectators could
only erect a wall along the sea coast so
that no one could see the ocean without
paying dollar, it is quite likely the free
American citizen would go see it with
out a murmur. and take his children if
they were allowed TO go for half price.
