A Wonderful Clock.

A correspondent of the Boston Her.
aid, who does not take the trouble to
60 into details, contributes this sur
prising information: "Perhaps the
most wonderful timepiece ever heard of
is clock described by Hindoo Rajah
as belonging to a native princess of
Upper India. In front Of the clock
disk was gong, swung on poles; and
near it was pile of artificial limbs.
The pile was made up of the full num-
ber of parts of twelve perfect bodies,
but all lay heaped together in
seeming confusion. Whenever the
hands of the clock indicated the hour /;
out from the pile crawled just the num-
ber of parts to form the frame of one
man, part joining itself to part with
quick metallic click: and. when COM
pleted, the figure sprang up, seized a
small mallet, and, walking up to the
gong, struck l., the first hour: When
2 o'clock came, two men rose up and
did likewise; and so through all the
hours of the day, the number of figures
being the same as the number Of the
hour, till at noon and midnight the en-
tire heap sprang up, and, marching to
the gong, struck one after another,
each blow, making twelve in all, and
then fell TO piec0s again."

Russian uliteracv,

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
All that can be said about education
in very large portion of Russia Is that
it does not exist. There is no national
provision for the teaching of the masses
in the rural districts, and, though m u.
nicipal authorities in towns have the
power to establish schools, they have
hitherto exercised it very sparingly.
Towns, however, in the sense in which
the word is understood in America, are
hardly to be found in the dominions of
the Gar. The two capitals stand apart,
of course; besides these there is not q
single city in the whole of Russia which
would be deemed largo town in Amer
lea. Only twenty have population ex-
ceeding SO. 900. and only $50 count more
than 10, 900 inhabitants. Not more than
one in eight of the 80, 600, 600 who make
up the subjects Of Alexander III. can
be called q townsman. The remaining
seven-eights of the people are dwellers
in isolated village communities

Of. March, the son, was called home
from school and the young lady. from

clergyman was in attendance, and they
were told that they were Immediately to
bacome man and wife.
"Surely, you are not going to marry
me to that dowdy!" exclaimed the
boy, but the young lady uttered not a
word.
AS soon as the ceremony was over, a
post-chaise carried Lord March of, with
his tutor, to make the tour of Europe,
while his young wife was sent back to the
nursery.
The groom spent some years abroad.
On his return to London, instead 81

one of the cans of penmican. Scraping
off little with knife Colwell fed them
slowly by turns. 1t was pitiable sight.
They could not stand up, and had
dropped down on their knees, and held
out their hands begging for more. After
they had each been. fed twice, they
were told that they had had enough,
that they could not eat more then
without danger; but their hunger had
now come back with full force, and they
begged piteously to be helped again pro-
testing that it could do them no harm.
Colwell was wisely deaf to their en-.
treaties and threw away the can. When
Greely found that he was refused, he
took out can of the boiled sealskin,
which had been carefully husbanded,
and which he said, he had q right to eat
as it was his own. This was taken away
