PERsoNAL.-A late issue Of tho
Pittsburg Leader has an article upon
Maryland Clock.maksrs, and the
Remarkable Ingenuity of Citizens Of
Allsgsny County" 1t begins as fol-
lows, the conclusion being taken up
with a description to which our res-
ders are accustomed: "Frostburg is
in Allsgany county, Maryland, and
is remarkable for nothing spscis ly
save its bracing atmosphere in all
seasons of the year, and as the homs
of the only three men in Am erica
that have had sufficient ingenuity to
build clocks. Not any of your twenty
four hour or eight.day Connecticut
clocks, but clocks that are astronom-
ioal, musical, historical, apostolical,
and in fact all that you could and
could not expect from any well-rsg-
ulated, nicely behaved clock. Ths
first. known as the Strssburg, because
it was patterned after that structure
caused marked sensation in this
country, and scientific men regarded
it as a wonder of mechanism. Then
it was that tanner away up there
in the mountains forsook his trade
and, like Grant, sought his fortune in
another channel. This man, however
spent twelve years in modelling what
may, in all truth, be termed marve
lous, because it is piece of mechan'
ism unprecedented. He is not {
bright appearing gentleman, this ex.
tanner from Maryland, and does moi
look genius, but when our reporter
met him yesterday at the museum
getting his clock ready for exhibition
his face was all aglow as he expatiatsd
on the beauties of his structure, and al
he showed the machinery he beamed
out on us like an electric light. Th'
clock, however told ills own story, and
in fact told many stories familiar tc

FIRE-An Unfortunate Accident
The pump used for propelling the
water to tho mine is on of the Cam
eron make New York;. Its capacity
is 80 strokes per minute, though it
was put to work here at between S5
and 40, force which flled the pipes
nearly half full of water. The pipes
are 6 inches diameter and extend up
grade q distance of 8 900 feet to the
point in .Pompey Smash where the
FIRE broke out. Here the water was
poured through grating or screen,
into which also clay was shoveled,
the design being to thus convey the
clay dow into the burning portions
of the mine. The pump was worked
by the boiler (Iocated about 100 feet
distant) of a G. & P. locomotive,
which became disabled during the
suspension. The recent cold snap,
however, had disastrous effect upon
the pipes, number of joints freezing
and bursting. These will be replaced
doubtless and the work 60 on until

The Water SUNNY,

Pure water for household use is Of
the greatest value, and the utmost care
should be had that it is pure, because
none other is fit for domestic use.
Everything impure should be kept at n
distance from the WELL and it should be
so constructed that no surface water
can get into it, Where well can be
driven it is undoubtedly the best, be-
cause nothing can get into ii without
litering through the ground it is con.
siderably cheaper, too, than dug well.
In digging well people very often
make n mistake in not going deep
enough. II is apt to be the case that
soon rs a vein of water is reached, it is
supposed to be sufficient, even if it is
small, AID so after going down far
enough to make little reservoir it is
stoned up, and the result is that the next
summer perhaps, she well is dry. This
is very annoying, besides being an eX.
peusive job. ] speak from experience.
By not digging deep enough the we'll

driving one near by so as TO have, |
hope, neyer-failmg supply. Water Is
needed in abundance at the farm build
ings, and ii should be provided some
how, either by springs, well cistern,
or else brought from a distance in
pipe. The best time 10 DIG well is
during a severe drouth; aud if a good
vein is then rcanhel, but little fear need
be entertained that the supply wild fail
Cisterns should not be constructed I'M

When making q cistcru, be sure and

there is water enough falls on the roofs

year to supply the stock with drinking

Women live so apart from practical

Pottery is the oldest industry in the
world. Adam was made of clay, But
he acted as though he was only half
baked. His son Cain did the first kiln
in the country.
The potter works in the mud, hence
we admire his work. His life is one
long act Of mudder, but he is never
hanged for It, though sometimes he is
broken at the wheel.
All his work, however good, goes to
the fire What he bakes you cannot

MN. DAG0ETT.

Nj. Daggett, United States Minister
to the Hawaiian Islands, has been given
a two months vacation, and is spending
it in Nevada. His political status is
thus discussed by the Stockton Herald:
"This diplomat was for many years
editor Of the Virginia City Enterprise.
and represented Nevada in the Lower
House Of Congress for one term. He got
a denomination three years ago, but was
defeated by Mr.. Cassidy, the Democratic
candidate, who has since been reelected.
Mr.. Daggett is a good politician. He
has lots Of pluck, and the Republican
clique which parcels out the spoils in the
Sagebrush State is afraid Of him. Last
Fall he threatened to maj their plans by
making . fight for the g~ubernatorial
nomination, and they bought him off by
getting him the Hawaiian mission. This
was obtained through Senator Jones,
who 10 . chum Of President Arthur's."

There is = growing confidence in the
abilities Of Mr.. Parnell. His recent
public utterances on the hastings in

consideration at homo and abroad which
no countryman Of his Of this generation
has had. MI. Parnell is still a young

four years ago lacked the rich expert.
ence he has since had. He did not i'm
press the public Of America that he was
the man he is now conceded to be, even
by those who have opposed him at every
step. The conjunction of two such men

THE RLUFF FAILS.

to the incendiary speeches Of the Nor

are men who, while making no preten.

except by killing them. and should that
be accomplished the free press would

A novel steam road vehicle has been
patented by George A. Long Of Mortified.
Mass. This invention consists in . tri-
cycle or similar vehicle, in which steam Is
employed as the propulsive power, the
large wheels being used as the drivers and
the two small wheels o. the guide wheels.
The power is applied directly to the peri
phery Of the driving wheels, by means Of
differential friction wheels, which work
INTERCHANGEABLE on the periphery, and by
this arrangement the inventor claims that
. great amount Of work may be accom-.
plished with Q minimum power. The fuel
used for generating the steam is preferably
gasoline. but other substances may be
used. The vehicle 10 provided with seats,
and the invention seems to provide Q very
comfortable, efficient and Inexpensive
mode OF travelling.
