Old Clocks


From Notes and Queries.
The old brass clocks went only thirty hours,
and were set in motion by weight attached to
chain which passed over sheave having
spikes in the groove which caught in the links
Of the chain and required to be drawn up every
day. There was acounterpoise at the other end
of the chain, and sometimes single weight was
contrived to serve both the going and the strik-
Ing parts. and there was occasionally an alarm.
On the Introduction of the long pendulum, clocks
seem to have assumed different character.
Catgut was substituted for the chain, and bar
rels were introduced on which the catgut was
wound up, and, greater length Of line being
employed, clocks were made to go for eight
days instead Of thirty hours, and chime of
added; the weights and long pendulum hung
down, and as there was danger Of their
action being interfered with, tall wood
an cases were made to protect them,
on the top Of which the movement was placed
This was, l believe. the origin and date of the
tall, upright clock cases, which were often made
of ornamental woods and enriched with fine
marquetry. have one myself in an early mar
quetry case, made by Thomas Tompion, with a
beautiful set of chimes, about 1890, and it is an
| admirable timekeeper, though it has only the
original iron wire for the pendulum rod; and
similar instances are numerous. The earlier
| cases are made of oak and walnut, the mahog-
| any cases being Of the following century, when
| that wood was introduced The brass ''button
and pillar clocks" seem to have gone out of use
about this time, and probably few were made at
the end OF the seventeenth century; but that
will appear more clearly if 1 receive many COM
municatlons from the owners of dated exam
pies. With regard to the name of the brass
clocks, l have heard them called very many
years ago 'button and pillar clocks" The
| meaning and origin Of the name cannot tell,
| unless it Is derived from the pillars at the cor
| ners and the hook or button on which the clock
may be hung up against the wall

A SUCCESSFUL RISE.

A few years ago some Philadelphia
Quakers, belonging to an Indian dele
cation, were crossing wide plain in a
hostile country. The driver Of the am
bulance called their attention to four
Indians on horseback, Who soon sur
roo AIDED the vehicle. A young brave in
war paint made unmistakabls demon
STATIONS of hostility.
The interpreter told him they were
medicine men and peace men. He re.
piled that they must prove themselves
medicine men: Of peace men they had
had too many already TO steal their land
and have soldiers kill them
" Re quick" said he; show "a some
wonderful medicine work or We will kill
you,- putting action to his words by the
flourishing Of arms.
Here was a dilemma.
Pointing to the oldest one, a fine look
ing Quaker six feet in his stockings, with
white hair. who had been the first tAlke1
of the party, be fariously gesticuiated
and cried out:
Medicine man, show medicine man,
show
An inspiration seized the Quaker. He
had double Get of false teeth. on plates
OF desh-colored material, and pointing
at his teeth With his finger, and then
tapping them with much grimace and
decision, be motioned for all Of the
braves TO como up within sight, and,
when all were intent upon him, he de-
liberAtely took out first she upper sei
and then the lower set Of teeth, and
made q motion With his neck a. il about
TO separate his head from his body, when
the braves wheeled their horses and
rode fuTieusly away. and the party Of
peacemakers also tnrned their horses
hsads forward, reioioed At their shrewd
aelivesanoe.
