Ex-senator Farwem on Campbell.


WASHINGTON, July 4.-The Post pub
fishes the following card from ex-
Senator Farwell of Illinois.
Editor Post: see by the newspapers
that at the urgent solicitation of the presi-
dent of the United States William James
Campbell Of Illinois has been made chair
man of the national Republican committee.
Some three years ago, more or less, when ]
was in the senate of the United States,
recommended gentleman by
the name of William j. Campbell for
the Office of collector of customs at Chicago.
All the Republican members of congress
recommended this gentleman at the same
time for this Office. The president said that
he was Il professional lobbyist and unfit for
this position and that he would not APP
point him. Will you be kind emo lgh to n
form me whether the Campbell appointed
chairman of the national committee (at the
urgent request of the president) is the same
Campbell whom he refused to appoint to a
federal position because he was 'profes-
sional lobbyist and unfit for itl'

The Old Nesmerist in a New Role,

A Russian hypnotist and mind reader
gave an entertaining Seance at Metropolitan
temple last night. At his request twelve
gentlemen took seats on the stage, and to
each of them the doctor gave a small crys
tai prism set in the center of dark stone.
He requested them to hold the crystals in
their right hand about eighteen inches
from the eyes and to gaze fixedly at them.
Mesmeric passes were made over their
faces, and after the lapse of a few minutes
three of the gazerS had fallen asleep. The
others were dismissed.
With these three subjects the doctor
produced some remarkable phenomena.
He induced them to imagine that they were
on the seashore and to initiate bathers and
victims of terrible shipwreck. Then they
made the audience laugh by beginning to
diSrobe for Il bath, and the manner in
which they swan and noundered on the
carpet was most ludicrous.
Two of the subjects were placed side by
side facing the spectators, while the doctor
calmly threaded a sack needle with Irvine
Obedient to his command the subjects
opened their mouths and he drew the
needle and thread through the upper lip Of
each, literally sewing them together. The
subjects did not betray the slightest indi-
cation that they suffered the least pain,
and he made them sing while in that con-
dition. Several gentlemen were called
upon the stage to examine the thread in
order to satisfy them that it was no trick
showed that not drop of blood had flowed

Water Clocks OF OIden Times.

It appears that the Assyrians were tho
first people to divide the day into portions
of time, also that they were the inventors
Of the clepsydra, or water clock, the divi-
sion of time and the invention both belong
ing to . period too remote for precise cal
culation. All that we know of the history
Of the clepsydra is that the apparatus was
in use at the time of the overflow of the
first Assyrian empire, b. G. 759.
This water clock, the first of the time
keepers, was nothing more than cylin-
drical brass vessel capable of holding sew
eral gallons of water At one side there
was a very small hole through which the
water was allowed to trickle, something
after the fashion of the emptying of an
hourglaSs. From experiments made on
recently discovered clepsydras it is calcu-
lated that one would empty itself about
once every two hours. Under the reign of
Phul, the royal palace of Ninevah, as well
as each of the principal districts of the
city, possessed "a water clock of the same
size. shape and capacity. They were filled
at q signal from the Waterman on the
tower, who was stationed there to proclaim
the moment of the rising of the sun.
During the day they were in the custody
of officials whose duty it was to fill them
as often as they became empty. Besides
these time masters there was regular
staff of criers, working under municipal
authority, who, as often as the clocks were
emptied. passed through the principal
streets announcing the fact for the benefit
of the people in general. In this way our
remote ancestors managed to get a rough
computation of the fight of time.-St.
