A WATCH WITH ONE WHEEL.

A curiosity in the way of watches was
shown by Mr.. f. SOrdet, director of the
Watchmakers School at Geneva, before
the Theological section of the Society of
Arts. This wonder is nothing less than
a watch with one wheel, manufactured
in Paris in the last century by Mr..
Gautrin. The watch was presented to
the National Institute in 1890, being
then in deplorable state; but the
teacher of the repairing section Mt
the school, Mr.. Emile james, has,
after many hours of labor, succeeded in
re-establishing harmony between the
various organs, so that it is now in going
order. The great wheel which gives the
watch its name occupies the bottom of
the case, and the center of the plate; it
has sixty teeth, and is 33 nm. in diane
ter. It's axis carries two pinions, one of
which receives the motive force from a
barrel, and the other carries the minute
work. The function of this great wheel
is qundruple First, it acts on q lift,
then on lever operating on another
destined to lower the axis of the watch,
and lastly on third lever, the latter
serving to return power to the great
wheel at the moment when the action
relents by the rise of the axis.

Colonel Bob" Ingersoll is wont to
compare the most benighted depth of
cOagulated ignorance to the jungles
of Central Africa and the State of Del
aware" The tail end of this cOmpari-
son was inspired by Chief Justice Com
egys' order of court about four years
ago, restraining the Colonel from de-
livering in the Wilmington Opera
House what the judge called "godless
blasphemy." 1t seems now that the di-
rectors of the Philadelphia Academy OF
Music have sunk into a similar state OF
starless mental gloom, for they refuse
their hall for the dissemination of
atheism or infidelity." The Colonel
should buy a circus tent and carry it
around with him.-NeU York Tribune.

Clergymen of many of the large cit
les in this country have been investi-
eating the condition and the num-
bers of the nOn-church going
classes in their respective communities
and have given results in n series of
articles in the Christian Union under
the caption of " Home Heathen." The
figures are suggestive, and show a
startling and OminOus state of religious
destitution. The most unfavOrable eX-
hibit is made in Western cities, where
amusements have full swing on Sun
| day. According to IA St. Louis clergy
man, the total church attendance in
that city on recent Sabbath was but
10000, while on the same day 10000
people went to see wild Western

games, 10000 spent the day in beer
gardens, and 5000 heard Bob" Inger-

HAD CAUSE TO BE PROUD.-In
writing up the peach business of the
Peninsula, a correspondent to the New
York Times in a recent letter, gives
the following account of the triumph
achieved by the late Samuel Townsend
in making the first shipment:
"The first carload of peaches sent
directly from Delaware to New York
was from the late Sam TOwnsend's
orchard. He arranged with the rail
road company to take it on an early
passenger train to Philadelphia. He
accompanied the car to that city,
caused it to be hauled by mules across
the city from Broad and Pine streets to
the river, saw it upon fiat and across
the river to Camden, and then over the
Camden and AmbOy Railroad to New
Brunswick and Jersey City, and placed
| it upon the freight yards of what Is now
the Pennsylvania Railroad station the
morning after the peaches were picked
in Delaware. This was in 1864. The
following year regular peach trains
were sent over the several roads tC
Jersey City. No general of victor
ious army could have been prOuder Of
| his victory than was Townsend ONel
that triumph, because his fellow grow
ers believed it to be impossible, the
ever sceptical railroad mana
gers claimed it to be impracticable
and the New York buyers in Philadel
phia and the Philadelphia commission
merchants said that it would result il
injury to the peach growers by disor
ganizing both markets"

The seizure of the fishing skiffs by
the Delaware authorities lately belong
ing to Jerseymen have been recovered
by writ of replevin from the U. S. Dis
trict court. While this recapture will
bring to an issue the legality of the
seizure as is alleged in violation of an
injunction granted by the U. S. Su-
preme Court, forbidding the seizure of
any vessel within the twelve-m
circle. Proceedings will be instituted
against the cOnfiscatOrs for contempt
and piracy.

BEECHER.-It appears that Henry
Ward Beecher is delivering in Brook
lyn what he calls sermons on the doc
trine of evolution, and that avOwed
and able infidel journal, the Truth
Seeker, speaks of them as follows:
In the sermons that Mr. Beecher is now delv-
ering he takes particular pains TO declare that he
is neither an inhdel. agnOStc. nor atheist but
he enunciateS sentiments that prove him To be all
these. He rejects the Bible, which constitutes
him an infdel he Spurns the orthodox Christ
atheist; he has created his own God. which is
very much like Herbert Spencers Unknowable,
and he is therefore an agnOstic.'
All true enough, we dare say, but of
very little consequence. What differ
ence does it make whether Beecher
processes any religion or none, except
to cast shame upon that to which he
pretends to give his adhesion? The
preacher who puts on the livery of
heaven while seducing the wife of his
bosom friend, and who lays perjury
upon his reeking soul when brought
into a court of justice, may still have
the impudence to preach, but all his
preaching is sham and his discussion
of divine truth is blasphemy.
There is bnt one honest and decent
thing left for Beecher to do. That is
to confess his guilt and depart from
the sight of men.-NeIU York Sun,

MAKING THEIR OWN DRESSES.

A curious feature of the home dress
making furOre that has seized upon SO
many ladies this Spring is the intrOduc-
ton of what are termed iigure-torms.
Ladies who never thought of such a
thing before are making large part of
their Summer outfits themselves, and
even young ladies in society, though
they dare not trust themselves to get
up their finest things are trying their
hands, with what assistance they can
get, at making their own tennis suits
and knock about dresses for the noun
tains and seashOre.
These fgure-fOrms are made OF
papier-mache and can easily be ad-
justed to any height. They also come
in so many varieties and sizes that with
very little change and alteration they
can be made complete fac SinileS of the
figures of the ladies who use them, with
every proportion of bust, arm, neck
and waist exact. With one of these Il
lady has comparatively little difficulty
in fitting herself With completed
parts of costume draped on the lay
! figure she contrasts and studies the et-
! feet, as we'll as examines the fit and is
thus enabled to tell satisfactorily in ad-
vance how everything will look,
| Going a step further some ladies have
heads on their figure-fOrms, ON which
they place and fit hats and bOnnets
and are in this way enabled to study
out and anticipate every detail OF
their appearance.
This plan of having models has beer
found so convenient that Il number o
fashionable and wealthy ladies who
have a great many dresses made anC
who are anxious to avoid the fatigue
and annoyance of so many fittings have
themselves carefully reproduced il
papier-mache, so that when they com'
to see about suit they stretch them
selves back at ease in cushioned chai
and wait while the dress maker order
her assistant to "bring down Mis-
Smith" or get Mrs. Brown out of tn
closet" as the case may be. Tn
dresses are then fitted upon the Ia,
figure.

THE STAY-AT-HOMES.

This is evidently the year when the
Summer stay-at-hOmes will have their
innings The passenger agents of the
ocean steamship lines are all in the
doldrums," according to the New
York Graphic. One of the chiefs of an
ocean greyhound line said the sea-
son is already dead for ocean travel,
while another said, dull does not ex-
press the situation"
This means that at least from So, 5,OOO,-
600 to $1O,OOOOOO that are annually
spent abroad will either be spent here
or saved up. There are signs in this
neighbOrhOod that our share is to be
spent at home, or near home. As
Gath says, in a letter to tbs Cincin-
natl Enquirer, Philadelphia is now
speculating in suburban hotels and
villa resorts, and on all the lines lead
ing out of the city and through the
State you find villa improvement sites
and big hotels.
"Gath's" statement is largely true.
1t only needs a glance at any of the
excursion books issued by the local

Bob INGERSOLL ON WHISKEY.-
People sometimes say: These tenn

chief skeptic in America says abOutrum
No one will accuse Robert G. IngerSOll
of being led by the clergy. But on this
one subject he talks good deal as
they do. In speaking to a jury in a
case involving the manufacture of alcO-
hOl, Col. IngersOll used the following
language:
am aware that there is preju-
dice against any man engaged in the
manufacture of alcohol. I believe that
from the time it issues from the cOiled
and poisonous worm in the distillery
until it empties into the hell of death,
! dishonor and crime, it demOralizes
everybody that touches it from its
source to where it ends. | do not be-
lieve that anybody can contemplate
the subject without becoming preiu-
! diced to the liquor crime. All we have
! to do, gentlemen, is to think of the
wrecks on either bank of the stream of
death, of the suicides, of the insanity,
of the destitutiOn, of the little children
tugging at the weary and faded breasts
of weeping and despairing wives, ask
ing for bread of the talented men OF
genius that it has wrecked, the men
struggling with imaginary serpents
produced by this devilish thing, and
when you think of the jails, of the
almshOuses, of the asylums, of the
prisons. of the scaffOlds upon either
bank, l do not wonder that every
thoughtful man is preiudiced against
this damnable stuff called acohol."

ever paid in. The spending of that large
income was entirely in the hands of the
present administration, and at the end of
the period they landed the country in
debt as they will land the country in debt
again, and deeper and ever deeper in the
mire
The customs receipts for the year ending
Dec. 3lst1SS4, were large; certainly, there
was a falling off from 1883, which how
ever, had advanced very much beyond 1882
We believe, in spite of the wall which the
Government organ makes over falling

biennial period will quite equal, if they do
not exceed those Of the phenomenal period

cuse Is sham. This administration has
had more actual revenue than any previous
administration. Other administrations
have got along with much smaller reye
nues, have done efficient public work. and
have not burdened the country with nm
necessary debt.
To the Legislature of 1876. the Minister
OF Finance reported a balance of $4,000.
The public debt at the time only amounted
to S459.lSf; yet the Government of that
day had hardly third of the Custom
House revenue that the present Govern
ment enjoy. In ISIS, there was a balance
IN the Treasury of S130.S4l: the public
debt was S444,S00, and the income from
the Custom House was 1851. 1.3TI. InlSSO.
the Treasury balance was S33S.SSO. The
public debt had been reduced to S3Ss 900
the Custom House returns were S5S2. SAG.

1882, the Treasury balance was Sl26.54I.
the public debt had been further reduced
to S299,200. The customs had risen TO
