A SORT OF TOBACCO HASH.

In the manufacture of snuff in this
country the finest Virginia leaf to-
bacco is used, which is considerably
modified by carrying the fermenta-
ton much further than in tobacco
intended for smoking, and is simply
ground and sifted.

a prominent dealer to a Mail and
Cypress reporter, I'VE have about
sixty mills, resembling large coffee
mills. The ground tobacco falls
upon an endless band of broad can
vas, which conveys it to four sets of
Of mechanical sleeves. The snuff
which passes through is received
upon an endless travelling band,
which carries it thence into a close
chest. The particles which are too
coarse to pass through the sieve are
reground. The immense varieties
Of snnffs are formed by mixing to-
gether dgrinding tobaccos of diff
ferent growths, and by varying the
nature of the same.

forty parts Of genuine St. 'Omer,
South American, tobacco, forty parts
of Georgia and twenty parts of fer.
mented Virginian stalks in powder
are used The whole is ground and

pounds Of rose leaves are cut and
mixed with powdered Virginian
stalks, and two and One-haf-PoHnds

The Haunted Clock.

n farm house near Devon, Pa,
there is haunted clock. witha weird
legend of Revolutionary times con-
nected with it. A cold blooded muir
der OF drummer is in the legend.
and once year "the clock acts
strangely" and cannot be made to 90.
This is true bill. you understand,
and / believe the story. | know that
"haunted clock" / have met it in n
Pennsylvania tavern more than once.
Only the legend doesn't do the
haunted clock full Justice. Not only
once n year, on the anniversary OF the
drummer's death, does it 'acS
strangely" IL acts strangely all the
time. 1t chokes and gurgles in CHASTITY
gutturals for about five minutes before
it strikes, and heard in the dead OF
night. these awful sounds petrify the
terrified guest with error. for he firmly
believes that the man in the next
room is hanging himself with his sus-
penders. When the haunted clock
strikes IL. it starts of with ponder
Gus solemnity and strikes .. Then it
stops, eroans twice, gurgles, makes u
muilied noise with something that
needs oiling. strikes /, wheezes and
goes TO sleep. About 11:30 however.
it wakes up, erunts. sneezes twice,
strikes the oth9r four, and, with
n hollow groan goes on its limp.

times falling asleep and missing two
or three ticks altogether, always wax

loudly for the next minute. And then,
along in the afternoon, when you are
anxious to 90 to the station to catch
the o'clock train, the hour hand
points to and the minute hand Is at
5 and the clock strikes 8, you know it
is a quarter past six and your train
has gone more than an hour ago.
There is also calendar on this clock,
showing the days OF the week and the
months, but it Is stuck fast between
Monday and Tuesday at the 31st OF
February, and there is hole in the
dial where moon shows itsef in the
full dark all the year round. Oh, IL is
sure 'nough haunted clock. I've
seen it many time, and have missed
more trains by it than there are
spooks IN Virginia or 'thengs" in In

"sets" that clock. The landlord
looks at it about once ortwice week
and sets il by asiver watch that looks
like a slung shot. Then by and by
the Oldest boy comes along and sets
il by the school bell, which rings about

The crew OF the fishing schooner Jos.
ephipe Swanton, which has arrived
at Portland, gives a thrilling account
OF an attack made by awhale on their
schooner on their last trip shore fish,
ing. They were about AZ miles off the
cape. near New Ledge. one afternoon
mt anchor, when one of the crew sight
ed n large black object floating i'm the
water about hall mile astertn. A
the time there were two men in dory
alongside the schooner and two more
by the rail. They tried to make out
what the object was, but it soon dis
appeared. In n few minutes something
came up underneath the schooner,
raising her stern six feet clear OF the
water. IL was huge black whale.
After nearly sinking the schooner he
disappeared and came up a short dis
lance away. flashing the water into
huge waves with his tail; then, appar.
emily satisfied, no sank beneath the
water and was seen no more. The ves-
sci received severe shaking up, al
most everything on her deck being
displaced. This story il corroborated
by the crew and is probably true, as
whales have been seen i'm these waters,
although not rs big as they described
this one TO be. There was no cause
for the whale attacking the schooner.
although one OF the crew. n man who
had been on whaling trips, said he
knew OF a case where big whale had
attacked ship once because he had
been run into by n vessel.
