AN INGENIOUS MECHANISM.

William Grolmitz, German citizen
at Buffalo, has constructed and set up
at his house novel piece of mechsn-
ism, which the Commercial thus des-
cribes: 1t consists of a sort of clock
| work put in motion by two-hundred
pound weights, which places in action
in an interesting and amusing manner
various objects on platform eleven
feet In length and Eve feet in width.
The platform is covered with green
moss, and along meandering course
various automatic figures of men,
women and animals are moving to and
fro, turning about or dancing. In the
background, situated on a mountain,
is a windmill, and at the foot of the
mountain, a water mill. The wheels
of both mills are put in operation by
water flowing from pond in the
meadow, and in which ducks and
geese are swimming, In the center of
the pond water-spout shoots it's
streamlets high in the air. At the ex-
treme right end of the platform is q
church, and in it is fine orchestral
instrument which discourses several
Of the most pleasing church and ma
tionat airs. Oyer it is facsimile rep
resentation of the great Strasburg
clock. The twelve apostles appear
and move in a circle around their
Master, each one bowing as he passes.
When Peter approaches, soldier,
standing on one side of the steeple,
appears. aud q cock on the opposite
side flaps his wings and crows. Satan
also appears at an upper door, and
eyes Judas until he is out of sight.
On the left side of the church is q
stable, and lying in the manger is the
child Jesus, and kneeling around him
Joseph and Mary and the shepherds.
The Wise Men of the East are ap-
preaching the stable, carrying gold,
frankinoense and myrrh. This does
not by any means exhaust the various
obj ects of interest. s-

THE SONG OF TOLL.
You cannot pay with money
The million sons of toll

You cannot pay with money
The million sons of toll
The sailor on the ocean,
The peasant on the soil.
r The lal,Orer in the quarry.
The newer of the coal;
Your money pays the hand,
But it cannot pay the soul.
You gaze on the cathedral.
Whose turrets meet the sky;
Remember the foundations
That in earth and darkness lie.
Nor, were not those foundations
So darkiy resting there.
Yon towers could not soar up
So proudly in the air.
The workshop must be crowded
That the palace may be bright;
IL the plowman did not plow.
Then the poet could not write.
Then let every toll be haliowed
That man performs for man.
And have its share Of honor
As part of one great plan.
See. light darts from the Heaven.
Andsenters where it may;
The eyes of all earth's people
Are cheered with one bright day,
And let the minds true sunshine
Be spread o'er earth rs free.
And fill the souls OF men jl4
AS the waters fill the sea.
The man who turns the soil
Need not have an earthly mind;
The digger mid the coal
Need not be in spirit blind,
The mind can shed light
On each labor done.
As lowest things are bright
In the radiance Of the sun.
The tailor, aye, the cobbler.
May lift their heads as men,
Better far than Alexander.
Could he raise himself to life again;
And think OF all his bloodshed.
(And all for nothing. tooD
And ask hinself-What madeI
As useful as q shoe2
What cheers the musing student,
The poet, the divine?
The thought that for his followers
A brighter day will shine.
Let every human laborcr
Enjoy the vision bright
Let the thought that comes from heave
Be spread like heavens own light.
Ye men who hold tho pen.
Rise like q band inspiredl
And poets let your lyrics
With hopes for man be flredi
Till the earth becomes a temple,
Ard every human heart
Shall join in one great service,
Each happy in his part.

GALL VI 1S4 -
II has recently come to light that the
Republicans In the countiesof Harrison,
noddridse, Lewis, Gilmsr, Calhoun,
Roans and Jackson have been paying Q
deceptive and double game upon the
would.be Greenbackers Of these coun-
ties. The plan resorted to has been to
secretly organize Greenback lodges in
every section OF the county, inveigling
the unwary into signing their names to
written pledges to support the Green
back party. In this way many good and
we'll meaning men have obligated them
selves to cast their political fortunes
with this party myth. After thus du-
ping their victims, the Republican lead
ers as secretly and cunningly induce the
Republican members OF these secret
leagues to quietly withdraw their ale
gance from the Greenbackers and agree
to vote the straight Republican ticket
leaving their duped Democratic bre,h.
rem TO hold the bag in this snipe hunt!
This game is not practiced alone in
the counties named, but has been car
ried into most OF the Democratic strong
holds OF the State. In Kanawha county,
last Saturday, this game was uninten-
tionally exposed by some OF the leaders
in their convention. ROMEO FREER, the
editor OF the Republican organ and an
office-holder under GRANT, was the chair
man OF the Greenback County Conven-
ton. IL was we'll known that he and
very many OF the delegates composing
the convention are strong supporters oil
SruRGIss, GARFIELD and the entire Re-
publican ticket. A well meaning dele
gate, who is in earnest in his advocacy
OF the Greenback cause, moved that
only those should participate
in that convention who would
pledge themselves to support at the polls
the Greenback ticket from President
down. This motion was vigorously pro-
tested against by the Republican men,
bers OF the convention, and finally 1t
vas defeated. This illustrates the hy-
pocracy OF the movement.
The Greenback organization in West
Virginia has been seized upon by the
Republican leaders; it is kept alive by
the aid of Republican corruption fund;
and it is managed exclusively in the IN
terest of the party OF contraction and
Greenback destruction. The man who
votes the Greenback ticket in West |lr-
ginia this fall, is unconsciously but not
the less certainly, the tool OF RadicaIlsm.
No Republican will vote the Green
back ticket this fall; that performance
will be lett exclusively to unophisti-
Gated Democrats.

As GEORGE c. SrrRGIss is understood
10 have been an advocate OF Charleston
over Clarksburg for the Capital, and
JACOB u. JACSsoX voted for Clarksburg
although feeling sympathy with Char
lesion for having lost the Capital when
she had it, We fail to see how the Intel
GJencsr proposes making much political
capital ior SruRGIss out OF that case.
1t seems that Wakes is endeavoring
to gain votes for SruReIss in the Third
district on the ground that he was a
friend of Charleston in the Capital con-
troversy. This will probably commend
him to the Republicans OF Harrison
county also.

GOOD NOMINATIONS

Last Saturday the Democrats OF both
Writ and Wood counties held nominat-
ing conventions. In the first mass
convention, the largest ever held in the
county, did the work; and in the latter
a delegation convention put up a ticket
OF unusual strength and popularity. In
Writ, LEWIS SHEPHERD was nominated
for the Legislature; ADAM BrMGARDNER
for Sheriff; GEORGE BALL, AL. ForGur
and JAMES LEE for Commissioners. The
ticket is regarded all through as very
strong, and Writ is put down with en-
tire confidence Tor go majority for the
full Democratic ticket.
The Radical scheme to induce Demo-
Gratis to vote the Greenback ticket,
while the Republican members OF that
secret organization sneak off and vote
the straight Republican ticket, will not
win in the good county OF Writ.
The Wood county Democrats nominal
ted Tor the House OF Delegates ID. IL.
LEONARD, an able and popular man, and
JAMES p. SHARP, also man OF high
character. This ticket will command
the solid support Of the Democracy OF
Wood and will certainly be elected.

nobody would even listen to them,
much less believe them, and 80 it Was

of alleged Greenbackers that there
might be an appearance OF disinterest-
sdness. That is to say, the Republicans
had acquired such reputation for being
liars in this regard that he lies became
OF no effect, and Gen. WKAvER and his
Greenbackers being poor and needy
were hired to lie. That is all there is

Senator Hampton's Speech at Staunton.

Senator Hampton's Speech at Staunton.
A harrow ing paragraph purporting to
be literal extract from dreadful speech
made by Senator Hampton, OF South
Carolina, at Staunton, Va, on July 20,
il having an extensive circulation in the
partisan Republican press and furnishes
a text for the most paroxysmal exhibit
tons OF campaign rhetoric. One jour-
nal OF this city keeps it standing at the
head OF its editorial page. 1t represents
Mr.. Hampton as urging support Of
General Hancock for President on the
ground that the political principles OF
the Democratic party are the same for
which Generals Lee and Jackson fought
in the rebellion.
A report of this speech which We have
received from Senator Hampton and
print in another column does not con-
tain the paragraph in question. We
find in it predictions OF evil conse-
Quences to result from the possible cleo
ton OF General Garfield which are ex.
travagant, such as that eve shall be-
hold no more free elections and no more
untrammelled expression OF public sem
timent;" but it contains no phrase
which is literally like that which
Republican journals and speakers put
into his mouth, nor any which by fair
construction can be tortured into its
significance.
''Tarn and turn about" is no more
than iair. Since the Republicans deem
that Mr. Hampton's view OF what are
the principles OF the Democratic party
is so valuable, for the sake OF fair play
let them now quote for while his view
of what the principles OF their own par
ty are.-N. j. Herald.
