A wonderful clock, said to be superior in

anccs TO the famous Strasb0urg astronomi-
cal and apostolic clock, will be placed on
exhibition in Tammany hall to-day, and
for considerable time will remain there
for the inspection Of the public. This
clock was constructed at Detroit, by Prof.
Pelix Meters, gentleman who has devoted
his entire life to the study Of astronomy
and mechanics. 1t is called the American
National Astronomical clock, and it is
probably the most complex and ingenious
Theological work that the hand Of man
has ever produced. This clock is IS feet
high, feet wide, and feet deep, and
weighs 1000 pounds. II is wound once in
twelve days, and is run by weights Of 700
pounds. II shows the local time in hours,
minutes and seconds, and the time Of mir
teen other cities of the world, among which
are Washington, San Francisco, Melbourne,
Pekin, Cairo, Constantinople,St. Petersburg,
London, Berlin and Paris. II also denotes
the movements Of the planets, and meas
ures their movements by seasons, years and
cycles for 200 years, including leap years.

the door is closed the figure Of Washington
resumes its chair of state and all is quite
again until the hammer of death again

body had been placed in such position
that, when this door was open, the head
of the box was in sight. Two or three
times got up to shut the door, but some
strange fatality drove me back to my
chair, and caused me to keep in view
the box with its sad freight. All this
time the storm ragged, the thunder dis

She leaned her head on shapely hands,

She dreamed of lovers and OF love;
When Take the blackboard, If you

Snapped out the grim professoress,
And ind the sine of II degrees
And 30 minutes more or less
She started up with flushing face,
And looked around the room han
scared;
Then said, remembering the place,
{" Not prepared"
She had lover Ike "A prince,
A toyai lover too, I wis;
And though she feigned Indifference,
Her foolish little heart was his.
So when upon the star lit strand
He spoke of all his hopes and fears,
And pressed her soft patrieian hand
He told his love to willing ears!
Though still she would not yield as yet,
Lest he should think she really cared,
But whispered low, the sly coquctte,
+" Not preparedP'
They were engaged and then again
To test that lovers fealty,
She treated him with cool disdain,
And fiirted most outrageously.
But when her lover came no more,
She wrote and said, remorsefully,
VIII you not seek me as before
Redeem your pledge-and marry me"
The answer came; with blush divine
she broke the WaXen seal half
scared;
Then weeping, read the single line
