Automatic Clocks.

The successful working OF M. Darmes's
automatic clock, set in operation some
months ago, is stated to be an assured
fact. In this case, the winding appara-
tus consists Of suiall windmill, fixed in
q windmill, OF in any other place where
a tolerably constant current of air can
be relied upon. BY means ola reversed
train Of multiplying wheels, this wind
mill is continually driving a hughens
endless chain remontoire, a device well
known to clock makers. "A pawl acting
IN a wheel prevents the motor from
turning the wrong way, and, by simple
arrangement, whenever the weight is
wound up right to the top, the motion
is checked by a friction brake automat-
ical]y applied to the thermometer by the
raised weight liltinga lever. When the
:weiyht is thus raised to the top, the
clock has a sufficient store of energy to
go for eight DAYS or more, SO that It is
by no mean dependent on a regular
current of air. This system of clocks
possesses such practical advantage s,
that it has been adopted by the Bel

utilizing the Sparrows.

Now that the English sparrow is
doomed to be annihllated in the United
States, if the thing be possible, the ques-
ton of utilizing this pest comes up for
consideration. IT is. well known that
their flesh is as good as many q larger
ORD. now highly priced; but the spar
row is 80 small that few persons will con-
slider it wo III the trouble of preparing
for the table. But the same objection
may bH.urged against frogs legs; the lat
ter, nevertheless, have been long in de-
mand, and the epicure thinks they are
among the daintfes not to be neglected,
eyen if they do cost more than tue
coarser.kinds of meat, and for this rea-
son we think it only necessary to make
sparrow fricassee or pot pie fashionable
to create a demand for these birds.
Something of the kind will be necessary
in order to give zest to the. sport of Kill
ling them by youthful sportsmen. The
slaughter of these birds has already
commenced in several states, and will,
no doubt. soon extend to ALL.

Hamilton County Notes.



Cook, the head of the reform Democratic
movement, visited the Lincoln Club and re-
manned long enough to hear a good many
regrets expressed that his ticket couldn't poll
more votes. Grants story about the Liberal
Republicans was rehearsed for his benefit.
Grant was asked what he thought about the
Liberal Republicans strength when that
party was making good deal of noise. He
replied by telling of his first experience with
coyotes when he went West. They kept up
such an internal noise from all points that
he couldn't sleep. He thought there must
be l 900 of them, at least, and went out to
see. There were just two of them running
to and fro bowling continuously. Cook saw
the point, but claimed that the reformers
could grow right along and yet overthrow
the Mclean dynasty.
Mr.. Pendleton feels satisfied of being re-
turned to the United States Senate. He has
the assurances of majority of the Demo-
cratic members elect that they intend to vote
for him, and this insures the caucus nomi-
nation.
One of the curious stories afoat, and which
is believed by some people, although
laughed at and denied by the better-posted
politicians, is to the effect that the Demo-
cratic legislative delegation from Hamilton
will bend everything to effect the election of
John X. Mclean to the Senate. Mclean
treats it as unworthy of notice, and Repub-
licans and reformers alike consider such ac-
ton highly improbable.
John Mclean was asked tonight how he
accounted. for the Democratic success, par
ticularly in Hamilton county, where the
party was supposed to be badly split up.
'My personal popularity did it all" was the
reply, with grim smile. He had in mind
the most bitter fight which the Commercial
Gazette has carried on against him for weeks
past, declaring that the Democratic ticket
was McLeans ticket, and would be everlast-
ingly swamped by his personal unpopu-
larity

The ST. Louis Police Muddle.

Sr LOUIS Oct 11.--'1he action OF the board
of police commissioners in deposing Chief
Campbell and the police muddle generally
continues to be the subject OF universal COM
ment, and nothing has occurred for long
time that has aroused such popular indigna-
ton. Every body, including the press, op-
meeting to condemn it has been suggested.
Henry D. Cleveland, the latest appointed
police commissioner received large share
of the Indignation, and fully one-half the
prominent citizens who signed his petition to
Governor Crittenden for the place, to-day
signed a paper asking him to resign. Chief
Campbell was shut out of his office to-day by
DIR. Lutz, vice president of the board order
ing the locks on the doors to be changed,
Campbell will tomorrow apply to the Court
of Appeals for writ of prohibition to re-
strain the new chief from performing the
functions OF his Office.

Criticism of Foster-Rose's Race.

Cincinnati Special.
Foster comes in for his share of criticism
from the party leaders here. He scattered
through the East and in Washington the i'm
preston that Foraker had a walk-over that
he would be elected by 20,000 and that can
vass was hardly necessary. The campaign
managers were met with this when they ap-
pealed in various directions for funds, and
they attribute to Foster blame for their fail
ure to get money The fact that alleged in
terviews with Sherman and Foster were tele-
graphed in the afternoon of the day of cleo
ton, casting doubt on the result intensifies
the feeling of the Lincoln Club people toward
those two gentlemen.
The remarkable manner in which Rose,
for Lieutenant-governor, runs ahead of his
ticket is explained by his affiliations with the
Irish. He has intimate relations with Par
nell. Two week ago Rose came here and no.
body could understand what his mission was.
1t has since come out that a meeting of
prominent Irishmen was held and Roses
name was written on Democratic tickets
quite extensively. The friends of Foraker
say that Rose did everything in his power to
pull Foraker along with him, and attach no
blame to the friend of the Irish. The phe-
nomenal gains for the Democrats in Seneca,
Butler and several other interior counties is
attributed by Republicans to Sam Carey,
who stumped them for the Democrats.
Foraker himself says Carey was the most
dangerous of the Democratic orators.

No Material Change from Yesterdays

COLUMBUS, Oct 11-Neither of the State
committees is making any effort to obtain
definite results from the election to-day
since it has been conceded that everything
is safely Democratic. The Democratic head
quarters were practically closed to-day, and
nothing is being done by the Republican
committee. The first amendment is adopted,
and as nearly as can be estimated, the second
amendment will get about 3O0 900 votes and
probably be defeated all the way from 10000
to $4,000. Some advocates of the second
amendment claim it has carried, but they
have no figures to show The Hamilton and
Cuyahoga delegations are divided in the pro-
portion which has been reported. An esti-
mate has been made, in which the chair
men of both committees substantially agree
that the Senate will stand twenty-five and
the House forty-two Republicans; Demo-
cratic majority thirty-two on joint ballot.
These figures are liable to be slightly changed
by the final results of both counts.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Judge Hoadly spent
several hours in his Office to-day, where he
was visited by large number of friends to
congratulate him. He shows weakness from
illness, but endured bravely the task of con-
tinuous hand-shaking. Much time was con-
sumed in receiving and reading kilograms of
congratulations. Among them was this:
''YoNKERs, N. Y, Oct IL.
81 congratulate you on your brilliant triumph.
rs. j. TILDEN."
kilograms were also received from Senator
Jonas, of Louisiana; Robert Garrett, of Balt-
more; Senator Mcdonald August Belmont
and many others.
The condition of the returns in this county
is such that nothing can be definitely stated
in addition to what has been given, until the
official count. This will be next week.
A rumor is current in some places that Gov
ernor Foster and other Republicans were
here to investigate charges of fraud in count
ing the votes, but inquiry among Republicans
reveals no knowledge of such charges, or of
such investigation.
