 Another Important matter that will come peiore the convention will be the question oI placing evangelists in the field whose duties shall be to visit the Baptist churches of the state and conduct reviv- al services. This matter will probably bring out some discussion.

Clock Centuries Old.

A clock which, it is believed, was
used in the days Of Columbus, has
lately come into the possession OF
Emil Kuehnel of Manchester, n. H.
When it was discovered recently in
the garnet of house It was supposed
to be of little value. The face is OF
wood and the figures representing
the hours of the day were cut into
the wood by jackknife or some such
instrument. The ancient timepiece
was given to Chas. Wolf, who in turn,
presented it to Mr.. Kuehnel, who had
it cleaned up. On the upper part or
the wooden face of the clock profile
of Columbus has been carved in the
wood, while on the lower part Ammo
1892" is neatly carved, Two bottles
ere used as weights. On either side
of the clock the queer weights are
attached to a cord, which runs over a
little wooden cog wheel in the clock
One bottle is heavier than the other,
and as the weight carries the other
bottle up, the cog wheel over which
the cord runs moves two other cog
wheels, the hour hand OF the clock be-
ing attached 10 one of them.

These are the butter boys who go
trotting in each morning as soon as
the tropical dawn begins, to sell the
native butter which has been made by
their mothers the day before.
Each little merchant carries a piate

steady it with his hand, whether ne

to the Porto Ricans, because their
climate is not adapted for keeping but
ter well; so they arc accustomed to
an article that would seem rancid and
strong to the luckicr persons IN the
north.
The pats" are very small, weighing
less than an ounce each, and they sell
for about one cent, The customers
OF the butter boys usually buy just
enough to serve for one meal. >,
