WHEELING sPIRE OF WATER.
How a Funnel OF Sea-Foam Danced Along
the Surface Of q Jersey inlet.
From the New Jersey Coast Pilot.

From the New Jersey Coast Pilot.
While your correspondent and a friend
we're sailing in Great Bay on the after
noon of July 16 they saw a huge water
spout-the first ever known in that
body of water. Our attention was at
first attracted by q violent commotion
of the water, covering q space OF prob
ably twenty yards in diameter. BY the
aid of a pair OF marine glasses we
watched it attentively during its forma-
tion, and as it pursued its rapid flight
toward the west we were enabled TO
make the following observations The
body of water appeared to be leaping
and foaming with great violence and
was travelling at the rate of eight or ten
miles an hour. As it moved swiftly on
it's course it gradually assembled toward
q dense, black cloud that overhung it.
Presently we observed tho cloud to-
change In appearance, a portion OF ~
becoming elongated and descended to-
ward the waters that o to meet IT,
and, as it drew the water up into 1t,
changed from an inky blackaess TO .
much lighter color.
" bAllhk W0o w III DtAA -
sisted of q mass of seething, foaming
water whose diameter had increased to
forty yards or more, to which was joined
a narrow funnel, which extended at
least O quarter Of an mile upward, where
it united with the heavy, black cloud
that still lowered over it. The funnel,
If such we may call it, at first ran down
in almost a perpendicular direction, but
soon changed In double curve, and as
it swayed to and fro in the air IL pre-
sented the appearances of q huge rope,
connecting the mass Of water with the
inky cloud above.
The whole affair lasted, as near as we
could Judge, for about fifteen minutes,
when the upper portion gradually be-
came less dense until it finally disap-
peared, while the waters continued In
agitation a few minutes longer. From
the timo we discovered it until its dis
solution it kept up the same rate OF speed
had any boats been in its path it would
assurediy have meant destruction tc
them.

Two Enormously Wealthy Fam
lies.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Comparatively few people are acquain-
ted with the Wilson fanny in New York,
and the public never hears oft, though
it had been dragged into more or less
eminence lately by the fact that the
heiress to the Astor millions is to mar
ry the eldest son of the Wilson's. The
engagement of Orme Wilson to Miss
Carrie Astor was not a surprise to peo-
pie who are acquainted with the family.
1t was exactly what everybody had ex-
pected te occur. The Wilson place is
next to the Astor's summer residence
at Newport, and from the time Miss
Caroline Astor was IL years old her
playmate was young Master Wilson.
When they became of age they were en-
gagged, as a matter of course. Miss AS
tor is neither brilliant nor beautiful.
She is quiet, has domestic tastes,
and cares little for society. It is said
that $50, 900 a year will be settled on
the bride by her family, and a like
amount will go to the groom from his
family. This will give the pair an in
come Of $1,000 JOG "a year. Possibly
enough TO buy the ne-cessaries of life.
The extraordinary thing about the
Wilson family to my mind is the man
ner in which they conceal the fact that
they are people of immense wealth.
No one aver thinks Of ranking them
with the great wealthy families of the
metropolis, and yet they are million.
aires many times over. They are very
exclusive, not at all prominent ia socie-
ty, and their name seldom gets into the
papers. A friend of mine who was look
ing for an eligible building site for the
erection of a large structure up town
told me that he was perfectly amazed
at the amount Of property the Wilson's
held. All over the city, and in tht
most valuable portions, he ran across
big lots Of land which belonged to tht
Wilson estate. What an enormously
wealthy family the Astors will be il
the course Of fifty years? Their pro
pertv now is estimated at something
over $3.50, 900, 600. The only son AMI
all three Of the daughters have marie,
into families OF extraordinary wealth
! They all know how 10 hold on to ii
too.

if he knew how shockingly I had treat

her pretty head dropping gracefully
"but Ihope-I do hope you will forgive

The general thawed. He took the

it warmly.

she said softly.
"Now-forever-always!"

Heaviest Clock in America.

The clock in Trinity church tower in
his city is the heaviest in America. The
frame stands nine feet long, five feet
high, and three feet wide. The main
wheels are thirty inches in diameter.
There are three wheels in the time train,
and three each in the strike and the
chime. The winding wheels are formed
Of solid castings thirty inches in diane
ter and two inches thick, and are driven
by ''pinion and arbor.n On this arbor
is placed jack, or another wheel, pin
ion and crank, and It's takes $50 turns Of
this crank to wind each weight up. It
requires 700 feet Of three inch rope for
the three cords, and over an hour for
two men to wind the clock. The PEN
dulum is eighteen feet long, and osciI-
lates twenty-five times per minute. The
dials are eight feet in diameter, although
they look little more than half that size
from Broadway. The three weights are
about eight hundred twelve hundred and
fifteen hundred pounds respectively. A
large box is placed at the bottom of the
well that holds about bale of cotton
waste, so that if cord should break the
cotton would check the concussion.-

obscuring the issue The fascination of
the name Republican has made men
blind of oifenses which otherwise they
would condemn. It is our imperative
duty, therefore, to disregard the appeals
to party spirit, which, in the language of
Washington, it is ''the interest and du-
ty Of wise people to discourage and re-
strain, and to consider how best we can
stay the progress of corruption in the
government Of our country
Leaving to Congress the great ques-
tions of policy, which must be questions
of legislation, and reserving the right to
vote in congressional elections for such
men as represent our opinion on these
questions; intending in the State to vote
in the future as we have in the past, we
see in the presidential contest a simple
issue. Our platform is the single prin-
ciple that none but men Of proved integ-
rity should be supported for public Office,
and that the use of official power for
personal ends is a. breach of trust
which should disqualify for the public
service those who are guilty Of it. A
party nomination which violates this
principle must not only forfeit our sup
port but incur our unsweeping opposi-
ton. BY the nomination Of James g.
Blaine the Republican party las thrown
down the gauntlet for partisan govern
ment. The Democratic party answers the
challenge. Its candidate is the acknowI-
edged champion of reform and political
honesty. The issue is thus joined The
leaders are representative men, the fore
most Of their kind, and we cannot for an
instant hesitate in our choice or doubt
what the true interests Of our country
demand.
For these reasons we urge all our
fellow citizens to unite with US in our ef-
forts to secure the election of Governor
Cleveland, and to organize in their re-
spective neighborhoods that the vote Of
Massachusetts may be given in Noycm
Der for honest government.

All That eIItters is no, Gold.

Some country editor, in moment Of
bitterness of spirit, makes these truthful
observations: One of the beauties of an
editors life is in his deadheading it on
all occasions. No one who has never
tasted the sweets of that bliss can begin
to take in its glory and happiness. He
does 800 worth. of advertising for a
railroad, gets pass for year, rides
$25 worth and then he is looked upon
as deadhead or half-Dlown deadbeat.
He puffs concert troupe $40 worth and
gets 81 in ''complimentaries, and is
thus passed "free.n If the hall is
crowded he is begrudged the room he
occupies, for if his complimentaries were
paying tickets the troupe would be so
much in pocket. He blows and pufTs a
church festival free to any desired ex
tent, and does the poster printing at half
rates, and rarely gets thank you /" for
it. 1t goes as part of his duty as an edi-
tor. He does more work gratuitously
for the town and community than all the
rest of the population put together, and
gets cursed for it all, while in many in
stances where man donates few dol
lars for the Fourth of July, baseball club
or church is gratefully remembered. Oh,
it's sweet thing to be an editor. He
passes free you know.
