Chinese Clocks.

In manufacturing clocks for the world we
run against peculiarities of national custom
and language. The most marked is the clock
we make for China. The dial is marked with
characters in lieu Of figures, and, suppose,
mean something to them. They don't to me-
There are three circles of characters, the
inner one having eight divisions the next one
twelve, and the outermost twenty-four. There
are two hands, the shortest one making a revo-
luton every two hours, while the long takes
twenty-four hours to get around. But how
they compute time by these is Chinese puz-

THE REASON.

Life Is very sweet Just now
Full of light and flowers;
Not single cloud to mar
Or give hint Of showers
Life is very sweet and fair.
Rosy hued and smiling;
With the music of the birds
Happy hours beguiling
Life is very sweet. You ask:
What can be the reason
Cooking blaukly at the clouds)
Of the rainy season.
Life is very sweet because
Because-why not assist meS
Sweet in spite of rain or clouds
Just because you kissed me-

A Back Down.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-If ever a
complete back down was made it has
been done by the retailer of ready made
clothing who occupies a seat in Har-
rison IS cabinet. He announced with an
air of great bravado, some days ago, that
a mill per word was enough for the gov
eminent to pay for its telegraph service,
and informed the Western Union that
the company would not be allowed to
charge any more To the modest re-
monstrances OF the company that the re-
duction was too great the postmaster
general paid no attention, but adhered
to the original order. After the time of
the old contract, which was l cent per
word, had expired, seeing that Wanna
maker was stubborn, the Western Union
people refused TO take government mes
sages unless they got pay in advance at
regular commercial rates. This course
quickly brought the great collector of
campaign funds to a different way of
thinking, and his manifests to the treas
ury department asks that the one cent
rate be considered as again IN effect.

cases to be disposed of by the next house,

The Atlanta Postmaster Upheld.


WASHINGTON, Aug. ia reporter of
the Associated Press called on Acting
Postmaster General Clarkson to-day for
information in regard to the appoint
master at Atlanta, Ca, which resulted
in much excitement and the burning IN
effigy of Postmaster Lewis and Gen.
Buckliu, leading Republicans of that
state. Gen. CIarkson said: ''The story
as it was printed in Atlanta papers,
and sent North, was to the effect that
Postmaster Lewis had appointed a negro
clerk and assigned him to duty at the
same desk with q young white woman.
The real facts, however, are these:
After Gen. Lewis appointment one of
the registry clerks resigned. The post
master then appointed Charles G. Penny,
colored, who stood at the head of the
civil service list of eligibles, as he was
compelled by law to do. He was
assigned to work in the registry
division, not in same room with the
young lady, but in another. This young
lady and her father, who was superin-
tendent of the registry division and had
the assignment of clerks, both resigned
Simply because the negro hau Deen ap-
pointed to the place in the office, and not
because an attempt had been made
to place a negro at the same desk with
the young lady. From this ali the trou-
bic came about at Atlanta. There were
five negro clerks in the Atlanta p0stofioe
under Il Democratic postmaster, and for
six years a young white lady has been at
the stamp window selling stamps to all.
people, black and white. There is nothing
for the department to act on, as there is
nothing in the postmaster action to bes
sgriticised. Instead of anything against,
Southern prejudice against negroes, the
postmaster sought, in making the ap-
pointment, to obviate any ground for OBJ
lection on account of such prejudice.

MCGREGOR, TEX, Aug. 13.-Our
country is badly in need of rain and
unless we get it within the next few
days the cotton crop will be materially
injured. The shortage of the grain crop
has caused every one to look with hope
for a large cotton crop. The corn is

will furnish but little money.

Maj. Penn closed his oamp-meeting
Sunday night with the most beautiful
and impressive service ever witnessed in
this county. After the service of the
night the crowd of some four thousand
people walked out to the banks of the
beautiful little stream, Harris creek,
which flows by the shed, where the meet
ing was held, and witnessed tue ordi-
nance of baptism administered by torch
light, Maj. Penn, by permission of the
pastor, officiating. The mellow light of
the moon falling gently upon the placid
waters, aided by the double columns of
torches, made the scene one of peculiar
beauty and solemnity. Fifty-three con-
verts were baptised and the vast crowd
of witnesses were held in profound atten-
ton. Nothing has ever brought such
crowds of people here before, as this
meeting, and all seemed more than
satisfied. The general feeling is that we
are happier and better people as Il re-
suit of the meetings. There were 1877
professions in all, and eighty-five of
them joined the church here.
