Would Think His Life n Failure.

If GeorgeW Washington, of blessed mem.
DRY, could take stroll to-day through
the city he liberated hundred years
ago, he would find many changes to
pause and ponder over. He would find
stately buildings where he left waving
trees; he would find paved streets net
ted with telegraph wires and lighted by
electricity, where he left cow-paths; he
would find more or less honest city
oliicia where he left farmers; and,
above all, he would find the English
Just where they were before he drove
them out namely, in possession of
New York. To be sure, they would be
English of different type; perhaps he
might regard them as belonging to a
type even more Objectionable. Instead
of King Georges uniforms he would
find coachman coats and eel-skin trous-
ers; he would find that the dragon
has been supplanted by the dude; but
he would find the city III possession of
the British just the same. He would
find English actors and actresses at our
theaters, and would probably be i'm
portuned to buy their pictures. He
would find English novels of the
"Ouida' stamp i'll demand at our Ii
braries He would note English turn
outs" in the park; and the pretty girls
would look wonderingly at him from
under English bonnets. On the whole,
if he esteemed his mission in life, as
many people hold he did, to be TO rid
the country of the British, George
Washington would be apt TO regard his
existence as having been a failure. -

Northern Europe and the American
Indians. They, he says, descended
from bears, which, having hoated south
ward on icebergs toward the end of the
glacial period, could not return The
warmth of The climate made them shed
their furry coat, and they walked on
their hind legs in order to keep their
fore legs dry. Thus in process of time,
by successive notifications, they de-
veloped into men. Mr.. Vanderbilt, the
other day, reduced the calculation still
further. He traced the origin of sneak
thieves to bears, or at any rate, when
denying that his son had failed in Wall
street, he said that bears were sneak
thieves.

A PECULIAR clock, which marks the
hours from one to twentv-four, has
recently been completed by Whining
ton manufacturer. The new time
piece is of the kind soon TO be adopted
by several of the railroads. The most
conspicuous innovations are in the
marking upon the dial and in the
movement of the wheels which run the
hands. The minute hand, instead of
making twelve revolutions to every
revolution Of the hour hand, as in the
ordinary clock, makes twenty-four
revolutions, while the hour hand passes
around once. The figures upon the
dial arr marked in Arabic, instead Of
Roman numerals. They ale from one
TO twenty-four inclusive, the spaces be-
tween the figures thus being only half
as great rs those on the dial of the
ordinary twelve-hour clocks The
minute hand therefore marks the half
minutes as well as the minutes. The
railroads proposing to adopt the new
system as standard will prepare new
timetables, upon which the distinction
between trains marked a. IN. and those
marked p. m, which is often over
looked by careless travellers, will no
longer appear
