ablaze with daily pictures of this
bride, bridegroom, bridesmaids,
groomsmen, trosseau, jewelry, gar
ters and the Lord knows what all,
and all because the bride is-what?
A great beauty? A great wit? A
great philanthropist? A literar,
celebraty? No, no. In any of these
cases there would be some excuse fol
1t. Simply, she is very rich, and has
made an idiotic purchase of French
title at very fancy price, consider
ing it's intrinsic value. Her father
peddled patent mouse traps a gene
ration ago, became enormously ricf
by very doubtful means, and his
daughter-a very ordinary woman
is blowing in some of the money in Q
way calculated to make every patriot
blush. The big papers would have
done better had they confined then

understand how the sale could be
paid for over thereI before it ap-
peared. If Mr.. Hunter, or any of his
gang, have been advancing money
for a newspaper, they should resort
to some other means to get even.
Wednesday evening Mr.. Hunter
wrote out a Declaration of Independ-

read it to Sheriff Bats, to the effect
that under no circumstances, and
under all sorts of penalties, and by

was interested either as plaintiff or

that Mr.. Hunter S law practice Is be-

have very little printing to control.

A Queer Clock,

From the Bristol Eng.) Mercury.
Among the effects of the late ]. E.
Davies, which are to be sold by ]. s. Pitt
next month, is a curious form of night
clock, which is not described in any Of the
histories of clockmaking, and Is believed to
he altogether unique. Water clocks and
sand clocks are known to have preceded
more mechanical timepieces, and Asser at
tributes to King Alfred the Great the adop-
ton of candle clocks, with wax candles
twelve inches long, which burned all day
at the rate of an inch in twenty minutes
and were put in horn lanterns to prevent
draught.
This clock is more modern rendering Of
the same idea. 1t consists Of light stand
cast in lead in the form of candlestick on
the top Of glass cylinder used as a reser-
voir for the oil, the wick being placed in
little projection at the bottom, very muc h
like the 1sobath fnkstands which are now
in use, and, Of course, approximating to
the very earliest form of oil lamp. Pass
ing vertically over the oil reservoir, imme-
diately behind the wick, so as to be lighted
by it, is band of metal, on which are
and then on to five, presumably with the
idea that it does not get dark before four
and that by five everybody ought to be up
and about. The stock of oil was no doubt
calculated to last the requisite number Of
hours. The relic, presumed by the British
Museum authorities to belong to the last
century, is quite perfect, and is likely to
excite good deal of interest among anti

The Railway Dclirfum.

From Good Words.
The most absurd project that ever ema.
mated from a nladman's brain would dur
ing this memorable year QS30, have found
credulous English investors. 1t is difficult,
In fact, to believe that some of the pro-
moters were not insane. In Durham, for
ins tance. three railways, all running in
parallel lines, not far apart, were project
ed. At Greenwich spectators were eager
to tunnel the park, ard. lest the vandalism
should arouse Indignation, proposed to
erect marble arches adorned with marble
buStS.
One inventor. confident that wind was a
better motive power than steam, endeav-
ored to propel his engine by means Of
sails; another was certain that by the aid
of rockets he could drive a locomotive at
the rate of one hundred miles an hour.
Even more delirious was the rush for for.
tune in 1S45-46. The number of projects
was enormous. Lines were, on paper, du-
picated everywhere. or carried into the
remotest localities. One was advocated
because it passed through a country 'cele-
brated for its genial climate;"" another, be-
cause 1t ran across ground that had been
Invaded by the Danes, and the London and
Exeter was actually thrust upon the mar
ket on the plea that 1t ran along the road

vertisements alone.

10 the Edltor OF Inc Evening Star:
My family subscribes to your paper and
should like You to call some attention of
the public to what seems to me to be a
system Of overcharge by express compa-
nies and telegraph companies.
We live just beyond the old boundary, on
the Washington Heights hill.
We pay city taxes use city water and pay
for 1t. Yet the express company charges
extra to bring package the one and a half
squares, and each telegram costs 10 cents
extra, and yet We are within mile of their
receiving Office.
1t seems to me a system of milking so
much extra out of residents on the hill In
New York. Philadelphia, Chicago, or any
city such an absurdity would not be toler-
ated. / send an express package from New
York city here, and it is supposed to be de-
ltvered. 1t costs 25 cents-say-and am
charged at my house 10 cents more for de-
livery within city limits-nearly fifty per
cent more. An individual is helpless, and
1t would not pay to go into court over 10
cents. Each telegram costs forty per cent
