A Mechanical Wonder.

Mr.. Amos Nixon, resident OF Harri-
son county, O., constructed and has on
exhibition a wonderful clock, which.
for mechanism, ranks second to the re-
nowned cathedral clock at Strasburg.
1t has eleven different dials on the sides
and front of the structure. The first is
the solar dial, and, among other things,
shows when Venus is the morning or
evening star, as it rises and sets with
the planet. The second is the dial OF
the heavens, and shows the position at
any time of the year of the twelve con-
stellations of the zodiac. The third dial
is daily calendar, aud the fourth is
tho solar year, and tells the dominica
letter of each and every day in either
the common or leap year. The fifth
dial is the Julian calender, giving the
Roman indications and Golden Letter,
and the sixth is dial of the moons
phases, giving the time OF its rising
and setting. The seventh is dial
showing the eclipses Of either the sun
or the moon, and the eighth and ninth
show the time at any given place on
the face of the earth by placing the in
dex over the longitude of the proposed
place. The tenth dial denotes when
any one of the twelve signs of the 20
diac is in the ascendency, and the elcv-
enth is perfect time-piece. Mr.. Nixon
was at work on this wonderful piece CT
mechanism four years, and will still add
several other dials in course of time.
Being poor and unable to purchase the
necessary tools, he was compelled to
do the principal part of the work with
a iack-knife. and a saw manufactured
from a common case-knife by his own
hands. The work is certainly mas
terpiece of ingenuity. and Mr.. Nixon
deserves great credit for this most Won
derful invention.

A Drunken Goat,

There are sorrow and anxiety among
the drivers at the ambulance stables of
the Chambers Street Hospital in Duane
street. "Billy." the white beer drink
ing goat, is missing, and no tidings of
his whereabouts can be learned. The
last seen of "Billy" was on Sunday
morning. At tho time Driver John
Pilger, the owner of '.Billy," was pre-
pairing to make a visit up the river. He
had Just finished his toilet, and was
about to leave the stables, when he OBJ
served his favorite goat coming across
tho street in slow, unsteady, stagger-
ing gait Drunk again." exclaimed
Pilger, on witnessing the debased con-
dition of BILLY" who had been sip
ping the dregs from the tops of num-
Der of kegs in front Of beer saloon
opposite. Pilger opened the iron gate
that runs across the front OF the en-
trance to the stables, and giving "Bil-
ly" q gentle stroke, told him to go in.
The goat braced himself up for mo-
ment. and then made one rush into his
place back of one of the horses's sta
bles. After Pilger left that day it APP
pears "Billy" slept awhile. Then get
ting up he made his way from the sta
bles, and was last beheld aimlessly
wandering across Broadway into the
Fourth ward. When Mr.. Pilger came
home one of the boys was sent out to
hunt the goat up. The lad came back
soon and reported his search as fruit
less. Mr.. Pilger the next day commu-
nicated his loss to the captain Of police
of the Fourth precinct. A detective
was detailed TO scour the whole vicin-
itv. Up to late last night, however,
BILLY" had not been found. BILLY"
is described as being about three feet
high, completely white. with horns short
anu slightly crooked. Around his neck
is collar of celluloid, pendant to
which is miniature beer keg colored
in blue.-ISunday Mercury.

Duluth and Superior will have al

The editor of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, who recently attended the
Guiteau trial, says that when the
assassin enters the court room through
the door at the right Of the Judge,
walking between bailiffs and hand.
cuffed, he appears to tbs spectator so
small and poor and contemplate that
an involuntary feeling Of pity springs
up for the wretch. He has a wild
and hunted look, and crouches be.
tween the big bailiffs like a starved
and tortured spaniel, and one wonders
how such an object, in himself so in
significant and contemplate, could
have shaken the world with such
hideous crime. This is when he first
appears. After he has taken his seat,
removed his hat, and had his hand.
cuffs taken off, his appearance ma
terially changes, and as the proceed
ings 60 on, the feeling akin to com.
miseration, which one sees on first
seeing the pitiable wretch, gives way
to something more in the nature Of
Indignation. At the same time the
conviction which is felt on first be.
holding him, that he is insane or half
idiotic, gradually disappears. and
doubts on this point are either wholly
removed or materially shaSs..
