UNCLE SANS CLOCK.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of
n some Boston paper sends the follow
ing interesting communication
At the Naval Observatory in Wash
ington stands the clock that regulates
time for the whole country. 1t is not
beautiful like many lovely French clocks
that noiselessly tick upon the parlor
mantel In fact it is large and tall,
with plain face, and body of dark wood,
and without tornamentation. 1t is much
like the old-fashioned clock that stood in
our grandmother's kitchen. 1t nowhere
touches either the floor or walls of the
building, but is securely fastened to a
stone pier, which rests upon solid
stone foundation, so that it may not be
affected by any motion of the building
or ground. Rains may descend, and
floods come, winds blow and beat upon
that house, but the clock feels it not, for
it is built upon rock. 1t is splendid
timekeeper. At the present time it
gains at the rate of forty-eight hun
dredths of second per day.
In order that the people all over the
country may have Uniform time, so i'm
portant for railroads, steamboats, and
other public conveyances, at three min
utes before twelve each day this clock is
connected, by means of a galvanic bat
terry, with the wires of the Western
Uuion Telegraph, wich extends into the
room containing the clock. All other
messages, however important must give
way for these three minutes, and in
every large town and station, from
Maine to California, where there is
telegraph operator, as the pendulum of
the clock ticks, each second a click is
recorded by the telegraph, and at the
instant of twelve two ticks are given.
At the same instant huge black ball,
which is drawn up a few moments be-
fore, descends upon the dome of the OBJ
servatory and hundreds all over the
city stand, with watch in hand, to see

THE INN.

In reading book which interested 8
at the Hotel de la Paix, at Mentone, we
we stumbled OIL the following passage
SIN the anecdote books of our boyhood
used to be told the story of an Indian
Faquir, who entered an Eastern palace,
and spread his bed in one of its ante
chambers, pretending that he had mis-
taken the building for caravanserai, or
inn. The prince, amused by the odity
of the circumstance, ordered, so ran the
tale, the man to be brought before him,
and asked how he came to make such
mistake.
"What is an inn ?'' the Faquir asked
"a place. was the reply, "where
travellers rest little while before pro-
ceeding on their journey"
"Who dwelt here before you?'' again
asked the Faquir.
"My father" said the prince.
sand did he remain here ?'
"No," was the answer. HE died
and went away"
"And who dwelt here before him ~
"His ancestors"
"And did they remain here ?"
'No, they also died and went away"
"Then, /" rejoined the Faquir, 81 have
made no mistake, for your palace is but
an inn, after ALL.
The Faquir was right. Our houses
are but inns, and the whole world car
avanserai. Under what sigh are we
living9 We like our own sign Of
peace" De la Paix has soft sound to,
our ear. Others prefer TO have their
hotels called the Splendid" or the
Royal or the Imperial; )" let US
dwell in "Peace," and we shall be con-
tent. 1t was said of old, concerning
our Lord and Master, that ''there was
no room for him in the inn;'' If it be
SO in any house, peace will be courted
in vain; but make room for Jesus, and
all will be well, for ''he is our peace

IT drop, to keep, as we say, "ball time"
Thus when this ball drops, click In
every large town in the land tells the
hour of twelve.
So while the clerks of Washington
are watching the ball the restless school
boy Of Minnesota is waiting to hear the
big clock upon the town.house sound
Its merry peal, the signal of dismissal,
and the tired factory girl at Lowell list
ems eagerly for the same sound.
But you must remember that only
places on the same meridian with Wash
ington have after all, exactly the same
time. The sun Is passing round the
earth, which is divided in three hundred
and sixty degrees of longitude, every
twcnty.four hours must pass through
one degree which is about sixty.nine
miles every four minutes. So If the
sun rises in Boston at seven o'clock, it
will not rise in New York-two hundred
miles west-till twelve minutes past
seven, or seven o'clock will not come to
them for twelve minutes after it has
reached Boston. Neither will it be
twelve O'Clock till twelve minutes later
than In Boston.
Take the Pacific railroad and travel
west, with your watch correct in Boston
when you reach Omaha you will be an
hour and a-half ahead of their time and
when you arrive at San Francisco your
watch will be three hours and a-half
fast, because old Sol is still on the way.
When you in Boston are going to church
at eleven O'Clock the boys in San Fran
cisco are just taking their breakfast at
halEpast seven.
So while we tell you that all The towns
receive the click of twelve at the same
time, you must remember that in places
situated in longitude east or west from
Washington, the number of minutes 1t
takes the sun to pass those degrees must
be added or subtracted from twelve, to
give the correct time.
Another thing in the room where the
clock is would interest the boys who are
delighted with everything that pertains
to ship. This room may be termed a.
government depot, for here are two
hundred ship chronometers. These are
simply large sized watches, and are
furnished to every sea-going vessel
Here they are kept several months, to
be regulated, and their accuracy tested.
by this clock. The officer in charge ex-
amines them daily at 8 certain hour, and
carefully rates the time of each.
When government vessel is ordered
to sea this official takes them with all
possible care to the vessel, protecting
them as far as possible from all sudden
jars or violent jolting.
When on the cruise, the captain also
rates daily the time kept by the chro-
nometer This he does by lunar obser-
walton. He marks the time between the
moon and some star by his quadrant,
which he verifies by his nautical alma
nae. One was seen at the observatory
that had been absent three years with
an eastern squadron, and varied during
the whole time but very few seconds.

you obey the better It's deuced shame
you didn't borrow the diamonds; but
the pearls will do better than nothing,
and am about tired playing the devoted
with no better look ahead. Off with 'em
my pretty Doris. No screaming now,
by Jove--"
But, after the first agony of fear, hor-
ror and amazement that paralyzed her,
Doris screamed-not very loudly for
Pelham's hand was crushed closely over
her mouth.
'None of that, tell you'll There's
no use, either, for the hackman has
been well paid to be deaf and dumb, and
it'll be worse for"
He never finished the sentence, for
the carriage had come to sudden stop,
and in less than second well-directed
blow leveled Pelham out of his seat and
to the ground, where he lay stunned,
and John Tampire's quiet, suppressed
tones astonished her.
HE won't trouble you again, Doris.
Sit still, while i drive you back to your
hotel"
But, John, what-how-who-"
Doris began, Historically but Mr.. Tam
pier gravely interrupted her.
"Wait till you are safely home"
And Doris was safely home good
half hour before Miss Berangyr, and
was sitting on the upper balcony with
Mr.. Tamplre who had answered all her
questions and had soothed and comfort
ed her as If she had been baby.
81 saw you together, and didn't like
the looks of him" he said quietly. 81
knew there was some mischief up, and
spotted him, and heard his bargain
with the driver of the hack, and, while
the fellow was lingering over specially
good glass of tipple ordered for him,
took his place and played Jehu. That's
all, Doris. The pearls are safe, and you
are safe"
"But it is not all, " she said, her eyes
flashing through the passionate tears
that were falling thick and fast; "it is
not all, John Tampier. You have shown
me what foolish silly creature 1 am,
and how wholly unworthy to be even
your friend, as of old. 1 am $3.50
ashamed !"
She sobbed like child and covered
her face with her hands.
His face was full of grand grave eager
ness as he looked at her.
'Yes, Doris, you are right. We can
be friends no longer; We"
She gave little, pitlful cry.
"Oh, know-I know am not fit to
be anybody's friend Oh, wish was
dead -
Then he stepped up to her and lifted
her chin, making her eyes meet his
"We cannot be friends, but we can be
lovers, my darling-we can be husband
and wife, can't wep Shall we, my lit
tie girl? May 1 take you home with
me, Doris, never to go from me again ~
And, although Doris could not con-
sent to such impetuous terms, neverthe-
less she was SO disenchanted and CRATE
full that, before another summertime
came round, she was John Tampier's IS
bride; and Miss Berangyr, to whom
Doris had penitently confessed every
thing, presented her with the identical
set of pearls that had figured so promi-
nently in her little romance.

THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY.
The Farewell Reception at Mise RansOm's
SfudiO-A Brilliant Assembly.

Miss RansOm's cosy studios capacity
was well tested last evening on the occasion of the
last meeting for the ofthe Classical Society
Most of the male and female MerdG who have
sembled during the winter were present, beside a
number of new faces. After an hour spent in de-
lightful social greetings President Shellabargcr
called the assembly to order, and after few words
OF greeting, in which he alluded to the magnificent
basket of flowers which nearly covered the small
table as another souvenir from Mrs. Garfield, he
introduced as the stranger friend, whom the
society knew so well and esteemed so highly, DR..
John NJ. Gregory, late president of Illinois Univer-
sity. DR.. Gregory made a very eloquent response
and in closing offered sentiment to the Classical
Society, which affords another brilliant illustra
ton of the potent and benign influence which in
telligent womanhOod may exert for society and
for civilization" Hon. George B. Loring, Judge
Lawrence, Professor E B. Elliott and Judge Shell
labarger also spoke eloQuently, the latter closing
by rendering the thanks of the society to Miss
Ransom for her efforts at entertaining them
through the winter. The company in separating
took leave of DR.. and Mrs. Gregory, with warm
wishes for their presence next winter unless they
should be called to wider field of usefulness, Of
which there is some prospect, as DR.. Gregory has
been prominently mentioned as a successor to Mr..
Marsh at the court of Italy.

FIGHTING 1T OVER.
The Veterans of the {" Bloody Ninth: - New
York yOiunteers-A Reunion.

Twenty years ago yesterday the Ninth
New York Regiment eighty third New York
Volunteers departed from New York for the war
Last night the surviving comrades in this city met
at Faber's Palais Royal Restaurant, on Ninth
street, to celebrate the event. The survivors have
always met in annual reunion here, and there
were present last night General Allan Rutherford,
Captain Robert Rutherford, Surgeon John R. Bige-
low, Isaac Lockman, George W. Salter, William
Simpson, r. II. White, Adam Geib, Richard H.
Blakelock, Thomas Haviand J. G. Taylor, and a
representative of The REPUBLICAN. Around
festive board, which fairly groaned
with everything good from terrapin to
strawberries, the surviving veterans made
music with the knife and fork for an hour
OF two, keeping up the reputation for appe
tites acquired when scouse, salt pork, hard tack,
and beans composed the bill of fare in days long
agone. After the edibles had been strongly Sc
cured in every comrades physical baversack, the
viands and stories the war began to flow. Incl
dent after incident of camp-life was related.
Comrades William Simpson, Geib, Rutherford, and
Bigelow were especially happy in relating both
melancholy and ludicrous yarns Of camp life, and
Of hafrbreadth scapes til imminent dc ally breach

regiments glories were not forgotten. lady,

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was highly appreciative audi
ence at Masonic Temple last evening on the occa-
sion of the testimonial to Mr.. E. ]. Whipple.
Although there was some eurtailment of the pro-
gramme on account of the absence Of Mr.. 81. C..
Pearson, the entertainment was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Whipple himself sang three numbers, in each
of which he was encored, and on one he received
the compliment of double encore. His full, rich
baritone was never heard TO better advantage than
in the selections he night and the stirring
songs, The Kings Highway" THE Bugler," If
Were knight of the Olden Time were rendered
with spirit and fire that were thoroughly ap-
preciated. Miss Minnie Evan proved her popu-
larity by the enthusiastic reception that was ac-
corded her. Her selections were "Che Gioja, by
Walter, and the Angels Serenade," by Braga,
both of which were encored. Professor Joseph
Kaspars violin solo exhibited his mastery of that
king of instruments and his obligato to the An
gels Serenade" was played with exquisite taste
and expression. Miss Hattie A. Whiting made her
first appearance as a soloist, and displayed con-
tralto voice of good range, power, and sweetness.
Mr.. c. W. Hancock, well-known baSso, sang
1.-The Diver" and as an encore The OWL most
effectively The cornet solo of Professor j. A.
Joyce was most aeceptably rendered The accom-
panists were Miss Carrie Bender and Professor :.
H. Jecko, both of whom performed their tasks
most skillfully.
THE GEORGIA MINSTREIS.
The Georgia Minstrels will close their engage
ment with to-day's performances. The matinee
should not be forgotten. The entertainment fur
nshed by this troop is of a most amusing de-
seription, and should certainly be witnessed by all
lovers of minstrelsy.
" INGOMAR, THE BARBARIAN.
This popular play will be presented the National
Theatre on Wednesday evening next, on the occa-
sion of the complimentary benefit rendered to Mr..
Robert L. Downing and Miss Clara Cole. The
benefciarfes will sustain the characters of IngoGdr
aud Pdrthenid and from their recognized talent g
performance of more than ordinary interest may
DE anticipated.

The Grand Army Cadet Corps.

There has recently been introduced
into the Grand Army Of the Republic new
feature-the G. A. R. Cadet Corps, formed of the
sons of members Of the G. A R., together with the
