An Ingenionn DeYice.

In China thcre is a curious device
to make record of earth tremors. One
of the instruments is thus described
at is of copper and is shaped like a
wine bottle. Inside is a little pillar,
go placed as to move in eight diiec
tions. On the outs de OF the bottle
are eight dragon heads, each of which
contains a ball. Underneath these
heads are eight frogs, so placed that
they appear to watch the dragons
face, 30 that they are ready to receive
the ball if it should be dropped. All
the arrangements which cause the
pillar when it moves to knock the
ball out Of the dragons mouth are
well hidden in the bottle. When an
earthquake occurs and the bottle is
shaken, the dragon instantly drops
the ball and the frog which receives it
vibrates vigorously. Any one watch
ing this instrument can easily observe
earthquakes. Once upon a time a
dragon dropped its ball without any
earthquake, and the people therefore
thought this instrument was Of no
use, but after two or three days a
notice came, saying that an earth
quake bad taken place in Rosel."

Prof. Wigg ms and the American

No Contraction of the Currency.

RWAsHINGToN, September 27.--United
States Treasurer Jordan, in an inter-
view with Post reporter today, said !.
81 do not expect any contraction Of
the currency to result from future
calls of three per cent. bonds, although
1 do no. expect that more than 25
per cent. of the called bonds will be
replaced by the national hanks with
four and four aud half per cents.
These bonds c. st too much in the
ma ket, and there would be no profit
to a bank in currency secured by
bonds fer " h;ch go much would have
to be paid" Treasurer Jordan thinks
that within twelve months from date
al the thee per cent bonds now cut
standing will be called in if the rev.
enues OF the government continue as
at present.

towns that we have ever passed through
in Vermont, brought us to the bright
cluster of homes in Mendon at the foot
of the mountain and near to Rutland. In
the midst of what would otherwise be a
barren plain the city of Rutland rises
like some second Nineveh. AS we struck
its streets both our horses seemed to rec
ognize that it was leading place and
sprang into the liveliest gait of the trip.
Faster and faster they flew with the
merry Jingle of bells and the swift CLEAN
of the cutter; with steady rein they
dashed around the corners, descended
the hill and showed a lead that any one
might well follow when they approached
the hotel. 1t was flying gait that but
few teams could rival. 1t was the Lam
bert of it, and az good at least as a 30
clip.
To-day the clouds are spread across
the mountains in thick layers, so thick
that we could not see them, not a mile
off. We passed through the very pretty
village of Pttsford to this still larger
and handsomer one of Brandon. n Yer
monter might well be proud of every
village we have entered in this drive of
125 miles. Let us then make what is
fine, finer; what is handsome better, and
remembering the beauty of our heritage,
adorn and improve it, until there can be
nowhere in the world fairer land or a
happier people. j. b.

Leicester, was brought in to answer to
to obey subpoena to appear before the
grand jury at the last June term. He
was wanted, doubtless, to tell what he
knew of the liquor traffic at the Junction,
which was thoroughly investigated at
that time. lie pleaded guilty and re-
ceved the lightest sentence the law al
lows, $40 and costs or its equivalent in
the House of Correction.
The matter of the New Haven highway
was discussed during the day and dis
posed of, as is stated elsewhere.
Wednesday morning was begun the
trial of State against James w. Mitchell.
The respondent is young man formerly
employed by Postmaster Peck in his
grist-mill here, and is well known to
dicted for burglary. 1t is claimed by the
prosecution that on the night of Septem-
Der 3, 1885, Mitchell and two others,
named Barry and Naylor, entered the
Saloon Oh JOIlll w JdCkSOll, Ill erSetHeS,
and stole cigars and plug tobacco. Barry
was found guilty on trial and fined 500.
Naylor had his trial at the December
term, year ago, and was sentenced to
the House of Correction, from which he
was pardUned. At that time Mitchell
forfeited his bond, but on the 18th of last
month was arrested at Lowell, Mass,
and brought back. The defence is that
the respondent had been in the employ
of Jackson and was allowed to enter the
saloon when he liked. The arguments
were begun yesterday morning by Mr.
Stearns, followed by Mr.. Slade and Hon.
Henry Ballard of Burlington for the de-
fence, States Attorney Wilds closing for
the State. The prospect at noon yester-
day was that the whole day would be re-
CURED to get the case to the jury.
The cases against Robert Steel, for
breach of the peace, and same against
Henry Wissell, for liquor selling have
been set for trial. State against Morse
man, the Salisbury stabbng case, will
not be tried this term. State against
Flint is likely to come on the first thing
after the holiday recess.
