A Clever Confidence COupIe.

A beautiful girl, with large blue eyes
and golden hair, but shabbily dressed,
greatly interested large crowd of gen

boats the other day, by singing very
sweetly and tenderly the well knuwn
hymn, "Jesus, Lover OF My Soul" As

ordered him to put her out of the cabin.
She looked despairingly and burst into
tears. There were cries of Throw

"Shame." The large man, who looked
like railroad president, insisted; said
that the deck hand was doing his duty,
and that the ferry company had ordered
all nuisances suppressed. He acknowl-
edged that he had complained OF her.
The murmurs Of discomfort and anger
arose around him, at which he seemed
somewhat disconnected, and, approach,
ing the girl said: "What's the matter,
sissy"
Then she told her pitiful story of
sick mother, dead father, no work,
hunger, distress, and her anxiety to get
employment. "Oh, don't send me to
prison." she cried, breaking completely
down. The large man was abashed,
and the crowd looked angry and scorn-
full again. He at once apologized, and
to show his regret for his blunder, i'm
medately took out S. bill, which he
dropped into his hat. Then he passed
the hat which was soon filled with mon,

boat, he joined the girl, and they both
went oil together. He was well

young woman was his wife, as clever as

A Monster Globe.

Detailed accounts IRE given in the
Berlin and Paris papers of u monster
movable globe, made Of copper, the
work OF n blind clockmaker, and
on the construction ofwhich seventeen
years were spent. The globe repre-
sents the earth, and like it, turns OH
it's own axis by means of mechanism;
an artificial moon moves round the
globe in twenty-eight days and six
hours while u movable metal band,
on which the hours arc marked, indi-
Gates the mean time in the different
parts of the earth. Round the upper
portion of this immense globe, which
weighs n ton and a half, and whose
surface measures 126 feet in diameter
spins IL railroad car capable oflloldins
six persons, and which serves to give
a better view of the regions of the
North Pole. The painting of the globe
is done in oil, and necessitated the
employment of two men the entire
year. The sun is represented by an
apparatus lighted by an intense Drum
mond calcium light, which enables the
spectator to watch intelligently the
origin and change of the different
periods of the day, the early dawn, the
twilight, eclipses of the sun and moon,
etc.

Tho first Watch.

At first the watch was about the size
of dessert plate. 1t had weights and
was used rs a "pockct clock" The
earliest known use of modern names
occurs in the record of 1852, which
mentions that Edward vi. had zone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plum
NETS of Lead" The first watch may
readily be supposed to have been Of
rude execution. The first great improve
ment-the substitution of springs for
weights-was in 1860. The elrlicst
springs were not coilcd, but. only
straight pieces ofstecl. Early watches
had only one hand, and being wound
up twice q day they could not DO ex-
pected to keep tho time nearer thnn
fifteen or twenty MINUTES in twelve
hours. The dials were of silver and
brass, the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and
were four or five inches in diameter.
A plain watch cost more than FL, 500
and after one was ordered it took a
year to make it.

Hornets and Honey Bees Fight
ing.

Cosby Farmer, in the Baltimore Herald.
The most remarkable and exciting
scene l ever W itnessed was fight be-
tween swarm of bees and q colony OF
hornets. Hornets, as you may know,
build their nests out of a material not
unlike paper, which is nodded into
concentric layers. The nests often at.
tain the size Of mans head, and are
occupied by about 200 hornets. One
day q swarm of bees took a flight from
a beehive of my fathers, and made
its way through a peach orchard for
piece of underbrush about 200 yards
from the hive. We pursued with tin
pans, and brought the fleeing bees to a
stop. They 'alighted on an apparently
deserted nest of hornets. It took
about two seconds for the 200 hornets
to como out of their den and attack
the invaders. The battle was hot and
furious. The air was filled with pro.
longed buzz as the combatants flew at
each other and tried to use their stinRs.
A great mlny on each side were killed,
but the hornets carried the day.
After the queen had been killed heI
army was put to rout,
