OUR LAW MAKERS.

The Legislature now IN session is
composed more largely of new mem
bers 1--WE are speaking OF the lower
branch of the General Assembly than
any House since the Reconstruction
period. A canvass of the members
develops the fact that only about
t@erty-four of those who composed
the House of 1SS4-5 have been re-
elected; and seven or eight of that
number have been returned from
Charleston. Pardon our depression,
but right here is revealed the true
cause of the immense power welded
by Charlston in the General Assem-
bly,. They have been taught by the
experience Of time the infinite supe-
riority of a well trained Legislator to
rude unsophisticated gentleman OF
one term. Hence when Charleston
member develops into a skilled deba-
tor and pariamentarian he is kept
there; returned time after time till
age units him for further service or
then he is elevated to a higher sphere.
There are men from Charleston who
have grown old and gray since their
first election, and these sages of So
Ion will be kept there, and their pow
er continue to be felt on every impor-
tant occasion. It would be well for
some OF the counties to profit bv the
wisdom displayed by Charleston IN
this respect. and maybe we would
hear less grunbling about Charleston
members working for Charleston's in
terests.
The new House is remarkable again
on account Of the variety OF principles
and measures upon which its mem
bers are elected, and sent to Colum-
bia as the ezponents Of and advo-
Gates.
The State during the past year has
been stirred throughout its circum-
ference with new issues, many Of
of taem, apparently, extravagant in
their complexion. These took root
and grew in the last election, and
have been transplanted to be fruited
in Columbia during the next four
weeks. What kind of fruit it will be
is yet to be seen.
The present House may, with all
due respect, be dubbed youthful, for
the greater part of its members are
fresh from the people, and bearing,
for the first time, Legislative honors.
And it may be styled radical in its
caiii1Gs, ior a good portion have gone
TO Columbia filled with new ideas of
reform which, if put into effect, will
completely revolutionize the present
state of affairs.
Indeed it is a remarkable House in
many respects. What it will accom-
plish is awaited for anxiously. And
the public will watch its every step
with nndiminished interest till it ad-
journs sine die.

Odd Watches and Clocks Discovered "a

Odd Watches and ClDcks Uncovered In
Various Parts Of the World.
Tn the wear 1877 transparent watch,
Of small size, Constructed principally Of
rock crystal, was presented to the Aca-
denny of Sciences in Paris. The works
were all visible; the twO-t'rthed wheels
which carried the hands were of rock
crystal and the OthcS were metal. All
the screws were iiE"d in crystal and each
axis turned on rubies. The escapement
was Of sapphire. the ba'ancc-wheel of
rOck-crystal and the spring Of gold. It
kept excellent time.
A curiosity in tho way of watches was
shown bv the director Of the Watch
makers School at Geneva before the
horological section of the Society Of
Arts at meeting last year. This won
der is nothing less than Il watch with
one wheel. manufactured at Paris, in the
last century. Tho watch was presented
TO the National Institute in 1870, being
then in Il depIorable state; but

section at the school has. after many
hours Of labor, succeeded in re-estab-

The Narrow Escape of an American Crew.
Two Oficers Kiiied--The Weasel Burned.
Capt. Clark, Of the American ship
Frdnk ~. Ih0yer, has arrived at
Plymouth on tie Cape steamer, by
which he was picked up at sea. IIe
relates that the IHayer was bound for
England with n mixcd crew, includ-
ing two Manila scamen. These two
men stole upon deck one night and
armed with knives dashed to poles
attacked Two officers, killing them in
stnntly. Three sailors, the only ones
on deck, were quickly dispatched.
Capt. Clark, hearing the siirieks of the
crew, rushed on deck lin his night
SHIRT. The Manillans slashed him Ter
ribly and he barely escaped with his
life. After a desperate struggle he
broke away from his assailants and,
rushing to his cabin, locked himself
in. The Manillans battened down the
matches and kept the captain aud crew
below deck one day and night. The
captain finally fired through the sky
light at one of the mntincers and
wounded him i'm tho thigh. The man
rushed to the side Of the vessel aud
leaped overheard. The other mutt
neer then went below, fred the cargo,
and returning to the deck jumped into
the sea. Terrified to madness, the
crew forced their way on deck, low
cred a boat and rowed away. The
ship was consumed. The crew were
in an open boat a week before they
were picked up.
