During an excursion from this city, while

only two vacant beds in the house, one

A Scientific Novelty.


The "Botha Schloss," in Berlin, contains
at present scientific novelty Of particular
attraction, namely, q monster movable
globe, made of copper, the work Of blind
clock maker, on the construction OF which
the energetic man spent seventeen years OF
his life. The globe, which represents earth,
turns on its own axis by means OF me
chanism. An artificial moon moves round
the globe in twenty-eight days and SIX
hours, while a movable metal band, on
which the hours are marked, indicates the
mean time in the different parts OF the
earth. Round the upper part OF
this immense globe, which weighs a
ton and half and whose surface measures
l26 feet in diameter, spins q railroad car
capable of holding six persons which
serves to give a better view ofthe regions of
the North pole. The painting of the globe
is done in oil, and necessitated the employ
ment of two men during one entire year.
The sun is represented by an apparatus
lighted by an intense Drummond calcium
light, which enables the spectator to watch
the origin and change of the different por-
tons Of the day, the early dawn,the twilight,
eclipses ofthe sun and moon, etc, Connect,
ed with the interesting show are cosmicaI

A Breach of Promise Case Fails.

A Young woman in California recently

the audience in the court room, gave the
amatory statistics-the usual number OF
times he used darling" the number of
times he wanted to kiss her" look in her
dear eyes" and "hold her in his arms in
fond embrace" The lawyer was sure that
he had caught on to every man on the

Captain Pins Advice as to How to Unite
England and America.

v. y. Herald
Captain Bedford PIN, q British naval off,
Ger and eS,member Of Parliament, while
passing through Albany few days ago on
his way from the west, had an interview
with PreSident-elect Cleveland, of which
Captain PIN gave the following account to
a Herald reporter: The Governor received
me very kindly. bis manner was pleasing
ly cordial, vet markedly digni6ed. The
first impression which came to me was the
superiority of the original to the pictures /
had seen displayed in campaign Autographs
and banners. While | was talking to him
strangers came into the room and stared at
him, sometimes with almost rude curiosity.
Yet the natural dignity of his manner was
never broken and there was none of that
attempt at posing sometimes to be detected
in public men.
1 said to him: "Your Exeelleney, / am
anxious to direct your attention to q rail-
road which it is proposed to build between
Cheyenne, in Wyoming Territory, and Hud-
son Bay, in the north Of Canada, which will
exert beneficial results upon the general in
tereourse Of the two countries. l have here
some papers on the subject which !
would Ike you to look into at some
time when the opportunity may present it
self.
The Governor replied in a quiet manner:
Il viii read them carefully, every word "
He asked me if were going TO make any
stay in Albany, and l replied no; that |
was going on to New York and thence to
New Orleans.
IL wish" he answed, with tired look,
''that was making that journey, too.
As was taking my leave | remarked:
Your Excelleney would doubtless be
glad to take such action as would tend to
further increase the feeling Of smity and
good win between two such great nations
As the United States and England. Has it
not occurred to your Exeellency that this
bond of amity and good viii might be furth-
er strengthened BY certain step on your
partY
Pardon me-what stepG asked his Ex-
celleney, looking at me rather blankly.
"By marrying some English woman OF
position" replied, with the utmost gravity.
Some English marehioness or countess, TOR
instance, your Excelleney."
His excellency stared at me for mo-
utnt aghasl, and the next moment burst
INTO hearty laugh.

A Water-SpOut on Lake George.
Schenectady Union, New York.

A water-spout formed on Lake
George, in this state, Saturday after
noon, and was witnessed by several
persons from this city. The Hon. D.
P. Mcqueen, of this city, was one of
the fortunate few who saw the won
der. Mr.. Mcqueen said that he and
Mrs. Mcqueen and a party of friends
left Caldwell, an Lake George, for
Katskill bay on the steamer Tlcon-
deroga at 4: 80 o'clock Saturday after
noon. The day had been exceeding
Ily gloomy, and the clouds hung low
all around the horizon. Thunder
and lighting were frequent, and the
atmosphere had a most peculiar APP
pearance. Suddenly Mr.. McQueen's
attention was called to the singular
movement of a cloud which seemed
to approach the surface of the water
at distance of about mile from the
steamer. The cloud was very large
and dark colored, and it sent out a
spiral which had the appearance of
an elephants trunk. This spiral be-
came gradually elongated until it
touched the water when FOR single
second all was still and the cloud and
the lake were joined. In another
instant, however, the commotion
both on the surface of the water and
underneath it was terrible to witness.
The elongated cloud expanded to a
tremendous size, and the waters were
convulsed. For many yards around
the spot where the cloud rested the
waters seethed, boiled, and made
great waves, all of which rolled with
terrible force against the spout, and
broke in such manner that q spray
as fine as smoke arose to q height of
many feet and added to the wonder
and beauty of the scene. The cloud
or water-spout remained stationary
for a moment, as if it were drinking
itself full, and while it continued in
that position the waters grew more
troubled around and underneath, and
were formed into perfect maelstrom,
which, had it seized the Ticonderoga,
would have broken it in an instant.
After the clouds had sucked up hun
dreds of tons of water, it moved
majestlcally toward the land, still
resting on the lake with a waving
motion, similar to a soap-bubble
clinging to the end of a pipe. It
reached the land in about three min
utes and burst. Mr.. Mcqueen said
that from where his vessel lay ne
judged the spot to be about twenty
feet IN circumference. There was a
photographer on board the Ticon
deroga, whose camera was all pre-
pared for taking an instantaneous pic
ture, but the gentleman was so
amazed at the phenomenon that he
was unable to use his implements to
photograph the scene until it was too
late.

NITEU AT LAST.
Lovers Parted I'm Switzerland, United
in the New World.

Elise Tschopp, 20 years old, and
William Beth, aged % years, were
married at Castle Garden yesterday
after rather romantic existence ex-
tending over term of three years.
Early in the summer of 1881, Elise
made the acquaintance of her hus-
band at a social gathering in her faith
er's home at Luzerne, Switzerland.
William was smitten by the charms
of the hosts pretty daughter, and as
their friendship ripened Elise found
herself in love for the first time. Her
father refused TO permit the young
couple to marry, as William was poor
and Mr.. Tschopp, although not
wealthy, owned a little valuable land
and had a small sum of money stow
ed away for rainy day. The laws
of Switzerland not permitting a mar
riage without the consent of the
brides parents, the couple were at
loss what to do, after clipping one Sep
TENDER evening to a neighboring vii,
lage, wnere all the persons they APP
piled to refused to marry them.
William finally induced Elise to
live with him in little hamlet few
miles from her fathers house, but
their life was miserable. Every one
Stunned them. and finally William,
driven by perjury and want, came to
America, leaving Elise to make peace
with her father, which she was sure
she could do.
William settled in this city and
prospercd, and in the meantime Mr..
Tschopp forgave his daughter, who
devoted all her time to writing letters
to her lover here and educating her
child. About two months ago Mr..
Tschopp died, and being widower,
all his property went to Elise, his
only child. After seeing her father
properly buried, she sold out his lands
and household, wrote to William that
she was coming here, aud took pass
age on the Cunarder Servia, which
landed her at Castle Garden ter
day.
William was there to meet her, anC
after the first ecstasy of meeting was
over, Elise demanded that he marry
her at once. This he was willing tt
do, and Pastor Burkemeier performed
the ceremony. The employees at the
Garden and about one hundred i'm
migrants were interested spectators

Don't Fly the Track.

Sheep men, wool growers, and flock.
masters are, next to money lenders
and capitalists, the most easily scared
men In the world. They seem to par
take, in some respects, of the charac-
ter Of the animals they deal in and
when one runs all run, and In the
same direction be it over fence. over
a bridge and into the river of destruc-
ton it seems to be all the same.
Time and again has it been noticed
that when w0ol sold low, wool grow
ers sold off their sheep and went out
of the business only, however, to re-
greet their action in year or two
when that article advanced in price.
Then all the cry was for sheep, and
prices ruled higher than ever.
We are passing through period of
that character just now. The manu-
facturcrs of wooden goods having pro
duced more than the necessities of the
country called for are unable to find
market or to purchase the wool pro-
duced in the country; hence when
forced upon them they buy only at
such prices as will justify them in
holding it until turn in the market
for their own wares makes it possible
for them to resume.
Nor is this the case with the manu-
facturers of wooden goods ONLY, for
it is seen in every branch of manufac-
turing industry in this country. and
must continue SO until they are able
to send their goods to the markets Of
the world in competition with the
worlds manufacturers. To say that
this cannot be done is to admit that
American genius is not equal to that
of other countries, that our lands are
higher in price, our food products less
nutritious and less available than
theirs. We ali know that this is not
the case, but that on the contrary, we
can manufacture as good goods and
as cheaply as any nation on earth,
our lands are not only lower in price
but more productive and our climate
as congenlal both for stock and the
artizan as a9y that can be mentioned.
Why then this nonsensical stampede
on the part of wool growers2 and why
do they periodically jump the track,
SO to speak, and fly to ends they know
not of?
Stick to your business, gentlemen,
and do not permit yourselves to be
gulled into the idea that you
are ruined, or your business failure,
because of a periodical revulslon in
the market. Keep your sheep, breed
them well, care for them properly,
and fortune will yet pitch upon
your banners and smile upon you as
merrlly as of yore.-RuraI World.

The Return of the Tail.

1t is a warm day in early June,
1888, and the republican national con-
vention is settling down to the bust
ness of selecting the next lucky ticket.
While the roll is being called very
disheartened tail makes It's way wear
lily through the crowd, and after
catching its breath. asks if this is the
republican dog. For continues the
tail, Il cut myself off from that dog
in 1884. and l belong here" Being
assured tkat this is the only genuine
republican mastiff doing business at
the same old stand, the tail works IL
self into quite a frame of mind.
''You remember" said the tail,
'that when [ severed my connection
with the party I did so without pre-
judice, and now I wish to renew it. "
''Your desire is very natural, says
the convention, but we are sorry to
say that you cannot come in. +"
And why not, pray?' asked the
humble tail.
"Well, the fact is, says the conven-
ton, I'VE have all the tail we want,
and besides, we don't care to spoil the
dog"

misers of minutes. We talk of 'off
hours" and "spare moments, but
we have none to spare. True, we
need recreation, relief from daily

ness makes rest a necessity. We
owe it to ourselves and to others to
keep the bodyin its best physical con

fragments in so doing. Proper re-
Taxation is part of true economy
but the point to be remembered is the
value and significance of all oul
hours as related to the aim OF life.
This understood, we shall be frugal OF
our scanty and lessening store.
Fragments of time saved will rapid

spiritual. Many valuable books have
been prepared IN moments of com.
parative leisure. In the gold-room oil
the Philadelphia mint there is a per
forated floor, through which passes
the dust or filings of gold, the ag-
gregate value of which is $780, 900 a
