~ The Boston Herald says of the no-ac-
count President: There is occasional re-
ference to President Harrison, but it is al
ways with view to his attitude ss regards
the bestowment Of some public ofice-the
removal of post master, the appointment
Of collector, the judging between the claims
of rival aspirants for marshalship or an
attorneys position. When the question is
raised as to views upon the tariff, the cur
rency, or foreign domestic relations Of any
kind, no one quotes President Harrison or
speculates as to what his views may be. He
is President ignored by his own party, and
seldom referred to by the other-a President,
indeed, Of less account in the Government,
except In the matter of the bestowment Of
ofiice. than any one who ever sat In his place.

w Expert (?) Webster told certain parties
that in going over the records in the audi
tors Office he had found some damaging
things in ''lnterliner George'sn records,
which he was going to include in his report
to the Auditor Of State. We fail TO see any
thing Of the kind in his report, which we pub
lish word for word this week. How is it,
s'Interliner," have you been manipulating
the inspector, or is it fact, as many
intimate, that the experts report is simply
your report over his signature? You know
you have lied time and again, but do tell the
people the truth for once. "Interliner

to say in the future. tits also bungling of

An Electric Clock,

A great deal of interest has been
created in France by the novel form
and operation of an electric clock, re-
Gently introduced, the popularity in
the construction of which consists in
the presence of two kinds of batteries,
one wet zinc-iron element and the
other a dry zinc-iron element. The
former consists of an iron bottle FIVE
and one-half inches high by three and
one-half diameter, which forms one
electrode; the other electrode is zinc
rod passing through an India rubber
stopper into the center of the bottle,
this being filled with caustic potash
and oxide of mercury. There is no
diaphragm, and the zinc is gradually
consumed, while the oxide of mercury
is reduced; the e. m. f. is 1.3 volts, and
the internal resistance only 2 of an
ohm. These clocks receive an impulse
forty times minute, and exhibit no
weakening of the power either in the
dry or the wet cell. An easy calcula-
ton will show the interesting fact that
the total number of electrical impulses
exceeds 21,000,000 per annum-cer-
