It is true that Maine was carried for
the Republicans in 1856, Notwithstanding
previous Democratic successes there, and
that in spite of it the Democrats carried
the country in November, but that vic
tory in Maine was achieved by union
of the former Wings and Free-Soilers,
who had before been divided.

A Clock Made OF Bread

Milan has curiosity in clock
which is made entirely of bread,
The maker is peruvian, a native
of India, and he has devoted three
years OF his time to the conslruc-
ton of this curiosity. He was very
poor, and being without means to
purchase the necessary metal, de-
prived himself regularly Of his
daily bread which he devoted to
the construction of this curiosity,
eating the crust and saving the
soft part for doing his WORK. He
made use Of certain salt TO solidify
his material, and when the vari-
Gus pieces were dry they were per-
fectly hard and solouble to water.
The clock is Of respectable size and
goes we'll. The case. which is also
of hardened bread, displays great
talent in design and execution.

Artificial SIeen.

The artificial means by which
drowsiness may be induced have
been investigated lately in Ger
many by Preyer. The ordinary
drowsiness of fatigue is supposed
TO be caused by the introduction
into the blood Of Tactic acid, com
pound proceeding from the disin-
tegration of the bodily tissues OF
nerves and muscle. TO ascertain
whether this view was correct.
Preyer administered large quaint
ties of the acid to animals, and
found that it would induce droW-
einess and slumber apparently
Identical with normal sleep, and
from which they awakened SEEM
ingly much refreshed. Not only
lactate soda, but sour milk and
whey, fed to animals which had
been fasting, produced this artifi-
cial sleep.

William Pitt.

The brilliant life and sad death
of William Pitt, England's great
Prime Minister, seems satire
upon personal ambition and popu-
lar gratitude. He was Chancellor
of the Exchequer when but %
years of age, and for eighteen
years ruled Great Britain. The
contrast of his public life with its
somber ending is painful to read.
Pitt died at his house, Putney
Heath, and in q very neglected
state, none of his family or friends
being with him at the time. One
who was sincerely attached to him
hearing Of his illness, rode from
London to see him.
Arriving at his house, he rang
the bell at the entrance. gate, but
no one came. Dismounting, he
found his way 10 the hall door,
and repeatedly rang the bell,
which no one answered.
He then entered the house
wandered from room to room til
at last he discovered Pitt on bee
dead, entirely neglected. 1t il
supposed that such was his poverty
he had not been able to pay the
wages of his servants, and that
they had absconded, taking with
them what they could.

The London TsIp0r0Dh in

The London Telegraph, in dis
cussing the appointment of Gen
eral Longstreet as Minister to
Turkey, says that he has shown
moral courage even to a more re-
markable degree tina the physi-
cal bIavery which he displayed
upon a hundred battlefields. 1t is
to tho interest of mankind at large,
no less than to that of the South
that the United States should be
prosperous and homogeneous and,
differing from almost all the rebel
generals of mark by his side, or in
alliance with whom he had
fought, General Longstree set an
example which might with adj
vantage have been followed by
others, and which has at last gain
ed for him the distinction of being
selected for a highly honorable
civil Office by the government to
which both the North and South
now owe a common allegiance"

frightened one evening last week.

boarding at Mr.. Shaw's while
working at Captain Kidd's got a
pumpkin, followed il out and cut
the semblance ola human face in
it. He concealed himself in a
graveyard near the corn pile, and
when night came put lighted
candle in the pumpkin and raised
1t up over tombstone, at the
same time making bloodcurding
groans. The corn husksrs saw and
heard enough in two seconds to
make that corn pile solitary
place in less than two minutes.
They all shrieked: some ran.
others tainted, and as the hideous
apparition came toward them the
decentralization was fearful. st.

A Russian Tragedy.

A st. Petersburg telegram says:
A touching story is told by the
NOUOe Vrenlyd of an event that
happened some days ago in one of
the principal hotels of that city. A
young gentleman from Moscow,
who had been staying for a few
days by himself in the hotel, one
day, he ordered dinner to be serv-
ed for two, and then went to the
railway station evidently to meet
his expected friends. He returned
to the hotel alone, and at dinner
time, as the door was fast shut
and no reply could be got from
within the police were sent to
break open the door. They found
the young man streached across
the table, shot through the heart.
On the table also was the photo
graph of young lady, and the
fragments of a letter were found
about the floor. Another letter
was found addressed to the pro-
prietor of the hotel, stating that
the young man had shot himself
in despair because the young lady
whom he had expecting had not
kept her promise. Half an hour
afterward the postman brought
a letter from the young lady her
self, stating that she had missed
the train, and would be unable to
come till the next day. The scene
when she arrived, and was inform
cd Of the tragedy that had taken
place, can be better imagined than
described.
