TIE RAJAHs CLOCK.
skeleton Hands Strike the Hours and
Fail Back in \ Bone Pile.

Truthful Jim Townsend, says the Vir-
ginia New Chronicle, entertained a
crowd of eager listeners with a deScrip-
ton of wonderful clock he had seen az
the country seat of an East Indian nabOb
near Madras. On entering the spacious
courtyard Of the R4jAh's castle, the first
thing that met the Captains gaze was
number of human skeletons, apparently
thrown in a promlscuOuS heap in one
corner of the courtyard. He at first sur
missed that they were preserved as tro-
phies of the prowess of the Ra]ah's an
cestOrS, and were the bones of me0 take n
prisoners from some hostile tribe.
On inquiry he was Informed that they
were portion of an immense clock stand
ing in the centre Of the courtyard, with
large copper gong suspended beneath it.
While he was scanning the fa"e of the
c Ock, the hands pointed to the hour of Il,
when in an instant the pile OF bones
showed signs of life. One of the skele-
tons. rising to his feet and seiZing pom
derOus iron club in both hands, rushed
across the courtyard and struck the gong
a resounding blow, aud was followed ny
eleven other skeletons, each one after
striking the gong returning to the place
from whence it started and falling down
into an apparently shapeless mass of hui
man skulls and bones.
The Captain stated that he was sadly
panied on returning to Madras a few
years later to hear that this wonderful
piece of mechanism had been destroyed
ty the Rajah's orders, and related in
melancholy tone the cause of it's destrue-
ton, which happened in this wise: The
Rajaa had been on "a booze" one evening,
and had returned to his castle near mid
night. On entering the courtyard he felt
a little tired and grasped the post, hold
ing the gong for support. Scarcely had
he done so when the hands
pointed to the hour of midnight. The
first intimatiOn the unfortunate Rajah
had of the hour was tremendous two
handed blow dealt by one of the skele-
tons, with the IRON club, in the immediate
vicinity of his cOat-tails, followed by the
other eleven skeletons in rapid success
sion, whose arms appeared to be specially
nerVed for the occasion. The Rajah was
found insensible few hours later by his
attendants, and when restored TO con-
seriousness his indignation knew no
bounds, and he Immediately ordered the
destruction of the clock.
