Tennessee has lost her credit
in the financial world on account
OF the action Of the Legislature.
Capitalists will not buy the new
funding bonds. The course Of
legislation and the conduct Of
members in passing vicious legis-
lation regardless of constitution
al requirements, do not commend
to the money powers any invest
ment III the bonds, which might
be repudiated with the same
ease that other illegal acts have
been passed. 1t is a sad comen-
tary on the reputation Of a once
proud state.

A Grenoble clockmaker, Antony
Jacques, is responsible for the inge-
nious clock which he has named Les
Heures RacchiQues" ('The Hours Of
Bacohus"). One OF the two drunken
individuals is drowning in q glass Of
colored water Stimulating wine, while
his equally helpless companion is

ure is secreted a magnet which is at.

drowning disciple of Bacchus.

painted in black upon 1t, revolves so

GREETED in the base of this strange but
attractive clock.
The School" clock, by NJ. A. Poitel,
constitutes a particularly attractive
object for the shop window. 1t is
made to represent the old type OF
schoolmaster, whN with his stick in
hand, used equally for teaching and
chastisSment, is instTucting an urchin
in what appears to be a sum in arith-
n.etic, but the figures really repre-.
sent the hours, to which the teacher
automatically points as the movement
impels his arm to indicate the passage
Of time.
La Mappenmonde 1.-THE map of the
world is the name of another inge-
NOUS mechanical device, the inven.
ton OF a modern French clockmaker
of Bethune The movement is in the
interior of the globe, and causes it to
%revolye, and sc mark off the hourS on
the equatorial band by means Of a To-
connective, which, by the way, has a
separate mechanism Of its own where
by, if the glove is made stationary, ii
may make a circuit on its own rails
of the equator in u hours.
If the clock is used for show pur-
poses the stationary locomotive with
revolving globe is possibly the best
method to employ, as the locomotive
may then be kept always in view of
the public; but as an ingenious and
useful clock for private use the cir
cult made by the locomotive is more
interesting.-From the Matchmaker,

the other revolted provinces and forced the sur
render OF BurgoyRe AZ Saratoga. But In the mid
die states, Lord Howe, aided by the lukewarm-
ness Of the inhabitants Of Pennsylvania, defeated
Washington at the B~randywine and firmly estab-
lished himself in Philadelphia, the American
metropolis and the rebel capital.
The continental congress fled to Lancaster and
then to York. Washington lowered about Phila-
delphia, fought the brilliant but indecisive battle
OF Germantown, and late in December went into
winter quarters in what, says the English histo-
r!an, Trevelyan, bids fair to be the most famous
en~campment in the worlds history" Valley
Forge, up the schuylkiII river about twenty miles
from Philadelphia. strategically left little to be
desired, for 1t enabled the Americans to restrict
British raids and was, besides. well fitted for
defense.
Many civilians insisted that the army ought
not to go into winter quarters at all. The fugi-
tive Pennsylvania assembly adopted a remon-
STRANGE to that effect. Harassed by q thousand
cares and dangers, Washington tartly responded
that I'VE have by a field return this day (Decem-

unfit for duty because they are barefoot and 9TH
erwise naked. Numbers have been obliged,
and still are, to sit up all night by fires, instead Of
taking comfortable rest In a natural and common
way" because of a lack Of blankets.
Il can assure these gentlemen that it is a much
easier and less distressing thing to draw remon-
strances in a comfortable room by a good fire
side than to occupy a cold, bleak hill and sleep
under frost and snow without clothes and
blankets"
The troops were divided into squads Of twelve,
and to encourage the men Washington offered a
reward of $12 to the squad in each regiment that
finished a log hut for quarters in the quickest
and most workmanlike manner. Inside the huts
hunks were to be built, and the farmers living
near the camp we're ordered to thrash their wheat
in order that the straw could be used for bedding
In building many of the hVts a considerable
hole was first dug. and dozens Of these hut
holes or cellars" can still be seen. Until a
few years ago one of the more substantial huts
still remained, but unfortunately It. was destroyed
by fire. The Daughters Of the Revolution in 1905
constructed an excellent facsimile of a hut, over
an old hut hole" and this reproduction undoubt'
eddy gives a fair idea OF the structures.
Some Of the officers found quarters in the scat
tered farmhouses that stood within or near the
encampment. Those who lived In houses without
the lines paid a heavy price for their comfort, for
unceasing vigilance was required to guard against
British attacks. Early one January morning a
force Of about two hundred British surrounded

the house in which Captain Lee Light Horse
Harry, the father Of Robert E. Lee) was staying,
but Lee and his guard manned the doors and win
dows and drove the enemy off with loss. Lee
was the son Of Washington's famed "Lowland
Beauty" and the general was already deeply In
terested in the young man. For the deed Of gal
lantry he obtained Lees promotion.
sWashingtons own quarters were at FIRST in a
tent or marquee, which is at present In the Val
ley Forge museum in a good state of preservation,
for Americans had not then forgotten how to
make the things that would last.
To Washington's worries during this awful win
ter was added the miserable Conway cabal," a
plot to remove him in favor of Gates. Little won
der that strong man though he was, Washington
d~espaired of earthly aid and turned to heaven for
assistance. Isaac Potts was one day passing
through a woods near headquarters when he
heard a voice, and looking into a thicket discov-
cred the general ON his knees in the act Of
devotion to the Ruler OF the universe. At the
moment when Friend Potts. concealed by the
trees, came up, Washington was interceding for
his beloved country. He utterly disclaimed
all ability Of his own for this arduous conflict;
he wept at the thought of than irretrievable ruin
which his mistakes might bring on his country,
and with the patriots pathos spreading the inter
ests of unborn millions before the eyes Of Eternal
Mercy, he implored the aid Of that arm which
guides the starry host. AS soon as the general
had finished his devotions and had retired, Friend
Potts returned to his house and threw himself
into a chair by the side Of his wife.
Isaac she said with tenderness, thee seems
agitated; what's the matter?
Indeed. my dear quoth he, II l appear agi.

newcomers merits were in PROMOTION tn the
length of his name. He had been an abide
camp to Frederick the Great, the ablest soldier
OF the day, and was thoroughly versed in the
science OF war. He had proposed to congress
that he enter the service as a volunteer. with
the understanding that congress should defray
his expenses, II the revolt failed, or his services
proved unsatisfactory, he was to receive nothing
more; otherwise, he was to be refunded the in.
come he had given up (about three thousand dol
lars a year, and properly remunerated. His offer
was accepted, and Steuben reached Valley Forge
on February %.
The suffering Of the troops and their lack OF
discipline and proper organization astonished
Steuben greatly. II have seen," he wrote long
afterward, "a regiment consisting of 30 men, and
a company of one corporal. . We had more
commissaries and quartermasters at that time
than all the armies of Europe together
Hitherto five to eight thousand muskets had
been lost yearly through discharged soldiers car.

Inc loss OF bayonets was still greater, The
American soldier, never having used this arm,
mad no faith In 1t, and never used 1t only to roast
MS beefsteak, and, indeed, often left 1t at home.
With regard to their military discipline Steuben
found no such thing existed.
In spite OF Jealousy on the part Of some of the
other officers, Steuben accomplished wonders.
Inc next year not more than q score of muskets
were lost instead Of thousands. Steuben turned
drill sergeant and introduced a discipline such as
the troops had never known. Rising at three in
the morning, he would drink a cup of coffee.
smoke a pipe, and then ride to the parade ground
for a hard days labor. His enthusiasm proved
contagious, and the whole camp fell to drilling.
The army was greatly cheered In April by the
news that France, long Americas secret ally, had
at last decided openly to enter the lists in her
favor.
1 believe no event was ever received with
more heartfelt Joy" wrote Washington. May 6
was set apart for gratefully acknowledging the
Divine Goodness, and celebrating the important
event, which we owe to His benign interposition."
BY Washington's orders the whole army paraded,
ealutes were fired from both artillery and small
arms, and the troops cheered Justify for "the king
Oh france" the friendly European power" and
the American states"
Not less Joyful to the waiting army was the
news brought to Valley Forge on June 8 that the
the British had evacuated Philadelphia. The long
months of suffering and disbursement had at
last borne fruit. By their patriotic devotion
washington and his men had held the enemy in
check until better days dawned. BY holding to-
gether during those awful winter DAYS thew had
preserved the revolution.

toms troops shivered, starved, and died, ia owned
