Old Clocks.

writer in Notes and Queries SAYS:
The old brass clocks went only thirty
hours. and were set in motion by
weight attached to chain, which pass
ed over sheave having spikes in the
groove, which caught in the links of the
chain, which was required to be drawn
up every day. There was counter
poise at the other end of the chain. and
sometimes single weight was con-
trived to serve both the going and the
striking parts, and there was occasion
ally an alarm. 0n the introduction of
the long pendulum, clocks seem to
have assumed different character.
Catgut was substituted for the chain,
ard barrels 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 the chime
OF bells playing every quarter of AN
hour was often added. The weights
and long pendulum hung down. and,
rs there was danger of their action be-
ing intcrfered with. tall wooden cases
were made TO protect them. on the top
OF which the movement was placed.
This was. II IS believed the origin and
date of the tall. upright bookcases,
which were often made of Ornamental
woods, and enriched with fine mar
quetry. have one myself in an early
marquetry case, with beautiful Sc, Of
chimes, made about 1890. and 4, is a

the original iron wire for It's pendulum
rod; and similar instances are numer-
Gus. The earlier cases were made Of
oak and walnut. the mahogany cases
being of the following century, when
that wood was introduced. The brass
button and pillar clocks seem to
have gone out Of use abou, this time,
and probably few were made Mt the end
of the seventeenth century.

GERmANY.

BERLIN, Feb. 23.- The Lssker incident con.
tinues To be the most prominent topic for news
paper discussicn. The North German Gazette
IN u leading article to-day says: "rhe opposi-
tion press has not even attempted to oppose by
arguments based upon facts the attitude
assumed by Prince Bismarck toward the
Lasker resolution. We msi6tain that his des-
patch returning the resolution conched in
the most conslderate toue. The document
does not even criticise tue attemnt made to
demand of the leading minister OF foreign
government an official gorifcation of the
leader OF the opposition, In preparing the
despatch Prince Bismarck was evidently
E0idod by tho -idOa IDdtoripy Uf xxtuorI-
can representatives had not known Herr
Lasker. We shall not err in assuming that
the initiative to the introduction of the resp
lution in the House of Representatives was
due to the direct or indirect Influence of Herr
LAsker's German partisAns. The representa-
tlves passed the resolution with the simple
intention Of pleasing Germany. The intsn-
tion OF glorifyiDg German of anti-govern-
ment tendencies is of course not to be sought
among American representatives, but among
German psrtisans OF the secessiouist or pro-
grsssist type" The G zette, which Is Bis
narck's organ, further says: 1--WE regret that
the Cologne Gazette il alone among Liberal
papers iu expressing the opinion that Minister
Sargent does not enjoy the same general popu-
lsrity as his predecessors. Other Liberal
journals have joined with the foreign press
hostile to Germany for the purpose of exciting
public opinion ia America against the German
government"
