Thus it will be seen that if this estimate is
adopted by the Council, and it will be the
tax which will have to be paid by prop
erty holders in the city will not be very
large. This sum however, does not rep
resent the full amount which will be
placed in tie hands of the City Treasurer
for city purposes. From licenses the city
will receive about $4,000, while it is esti-
mated that from water privileges Sl2, 600
at least will be received, SO that it will be
seen that the city revenue, to be derived
from all sources, will reach in the aggre-
gate nearly $40, 900, enough to run the
city government and keep the streets,
public grounds and buildings in good
shape and repair, and also to meet all
other incidental expenses that may arise
from time to time.

An eastern seller OF books says: Wo-
men will never buy bound book or
any but the cheapest editions, those
costing from 20 to % cents. When
men come in they want the best
of everything. Not so women. They
always want the cheapest. Women
generally will never read novel until
it comes out in the Seaside OF some
other cheap form. We have had wo-
men come in here day after day to see
if certain new books were out in cheap
editions yet. Show them the book
they wanted in 50-cent or q dollar
edition and they would not touch it, but
would wait and wait until it came out
in a 25-cent pamphlet form. At the
same time they will spend their money
extrayagantly in matters Of dress.

what TOurguenefF Taught the GEAR.
J. j. Ross in Pioneer Press

1t is probably not generally known
by Americans that it was Ivan Tourgue-
netf who invented the word 'nihilist,"
or, at least, was the first to use it as an
appellation Of the members of that
secret organization which has done so
much to terrorize governmental circles
in Russia, and taught the car just how
uneasy lies the head that wore q
crown" Whilst not himself ''nihilist,"
Tourguenef by his writings did much
to inspire the oppressed peasants to
both long and struggle for reforms in
the social system of that semi barbaric
government. It was Tourguanef' who,
by his earliest works, opened the eyes
of the late ear to the misery and OPP
pressions laid upon the serfs by the
great landed proprietors of Russia, and
thus led that monarch to forever abolish
that form Of slavery in his vast domains.
Is it to be wondered at, that the people
OF Russia united with the government
to pay this modest and simplc-ninded
author such funeral honors as have
never before in any land been paid to q
mere novelist, simple writer of tales?
Though Tourguanef was expelled
from his native land ii his early youth
by order Of the grand Alexander, tho
father OF the car Of 10 day pardoned
the author some twenty years or more
ago, and he was invited to return. Bat
u long residence at Paris, and the
mental faacinatious OF that great city
far more seductive foo the man of
letters, as well as the artist, than
americans generally suppose re, aimed
him, and TourguencH never awaited
himself Of his pardon, save only tore
visit on ono occasion the scenes OF his
youth, his old home and kindred, and
perhaps to gather fresh material for a
new series Of those charming tales of
Russian peasant life which have made
his literary fame.

PRODUCE EXCHANGE CLOCK.
One of the Largest Timepieces on
Che Continent OF America.

The New York Telegram says that
the clock which is intended for the
tower Of the produce exchange build
ing and is nearing completion, is re-
garded as one Of the most remarkable
timepieces in this country. Tho
machinery is mounted on pillars of fine
steel, set in framework of cast iron
Instead of the old "dead-beat" escape
ment, far more nicely adjusted COM
bination of machinery is employed. 1t
1t is the new gravity escapement. The
pendulum is thorough in compensation,
being constructed Of nine parts, four of
brass and five Of steel. It is two
second pendulum, taking two seconds
for its swing or beat.
At the lower end OF the pendulum is
suspended weight of 500 pounds, in
closed in q heavy brass cup. The
length Of the pendulum rod is about
fourteen feet. The pendulum is hung
upon very delicate steel springs, and its
movements are made with the utmost
precision.
The six-legged gravity escapement is
connected with the pendulum by sim
pie yet delicate mechanism, and all it's
acting parts are ieweled. BY this es-
capement the motion is communicated
to the pendulum. On each side of the
pendulum rod is an iron arm suspended
from one end obliqueiy; as the escape
ment wheel turns, small pins on its axis
raise the free end Of one of these arms
by means Of levers. AS the pendulum
reaches the termination Of its path, the
arm is released, and its weight, press
ing against the pendulum, drives it to
the other side, where the operation is
completed. The motion is carried to
the four dials above by revolving iron
rod.
There is an electric attachment to the
clock by which any number Of dials
may be run all over the building. An
automatic retaining power permits the
clock to be wound without interfering
in the least with it's continuous action.
In the ordinary large clocks it is neces-
sary to shift the gearing and go to o
great deal of trouble to set the hands.
In this clock there are sixty holes in the
brass wheel attached to the main shaft.
By Withdrawing the pin which makes
the connection the whole machinery can
be whirled with ease and rapidity in
either direction. The small dial in
front also enables the operator to Judge
exactly when to stop. The hands are
SO weighted that they cannot be af-
fected by the weather, however severe
a storm may prevail. Mr.. E. Howard,
the maker, said that the cost of the
tower clock alone is $4,000, with $4,000
extra for attached electrical clocks in
different rooms in the building, making
the total cost $4,000.

at the treadle. One nan holds the

The edge Of the saw, while the
other, using n small feather dipped in
oil, applies diamonl-dust to the edge OF
the saw. The saw is made Of very due
tile metal, and the particles Of diamond
dust becoming firmly set in it, soon
wear through the hardest stone. Now
the piece Of diamond passes to the cut,
ting-table, upon which is strapped

table. The stone is fastened by cement
to the end Of stick six inches long.
'"Fhe lapidary takes the stick in his
right hand and holds the stone firmly
against the wheel until one facet is
ground down. Diamond dust and water
are constantly applied to the wheel.
The table and upper facets Of the stone
are cut this way, and the stone is then
removed from and readjlsted to the
stick beforesthe lapidary cuts the under
sides, callets and remaining facets. The
stone is manipulated the same in the
third or polishing process rs in the cut

composed mainly OF tin, and tripoIi and
rotten stone are used in the polishing

individual was too much interested in
the escape, to hazard a words in whis-
pers. The scout resumed his post in
advance, though his steps, after he had
thrown safe distance between HIM
self and enemies, were more deliberate
than in their previous march, in con-
sequence of his utter ignorance of the
localities of the surrounding woods.
More than once he halted to consult
with his confederates, the Mohicans,
pointing upwards at the moon, and
examining the banks Of the trees with
care. In these brief pauses, Hayward
and the sisters listened, with senses
rendered doubly acute by the danger,
to detect any symptoms which might
announce the proximity Of their foes.
When the banks of the little stream
We're gained, Hawk-eye made another

soon became more uneven, and the
travellers could plainly perceive that
the mountains drew higher to them on
each hand, and that they We're, in
truth, about entering one Of their

his words, in the quiet and darkness
of the place.
