Unexpected. Rencontre. A. good hut simple man; residing in a village of Dumfriesshire, struck up an iiatanacy with a neighbor recently ar- rived in, the locality. This latter 833- feared a very goodly sort of person, whose frequent intercourise a,nd conver- sation afforded ne small degree of pleas - and edification to his newly -acquired friend. The new -comer had at last risen. so high in the confidence and esteem' of the other that he believed on to be a saint, if there was one in the world. One night, however, hear- ing S01110 disturbance in the hen roost, he went out with a lantera to discover the cause, when, lo, there was his pious friefld. very deliberately tw isting the necks of the poultry, preparatory to carrying them off The good man, more aghast at the flagrant hypocrisy of his neighbor than concerned for his oVsn less, excladmed, more in sorrow than in anger, "Oh, Dawvid, Do.wvid, roan, lit- tle did I expect to meet wi' you here!" "Trowth," said David with apparent jist as little did I expect to eaulleeili eceQtnwPryots here !" Becoming Rich b37 Accid.ent. During an excursion Iron°. Detroit t� Niagara Falls, and. while at Cleveland, an incident occurred which will never be forgotten by those who heard of it. The Kennard House at that city was 'crowded with guests, wheu an eccentric and witty druggist of Smithfield street appeared, late at night, at the hotel of and demanded a bed. The clerk replied that there were only .two vacant beds in the house, one wherein was quartered a Pittsburg evening newspa- per man, and the other wherein was a Pittsburg_ morning newspaper man who weressiith the excursion. "To tel the truth they are both pretty drunk, so you may take your choice as to which room yon will sleep in." The druggist said. that on general principles he would take his chances With the evening jour- nalist, as they excelled- the morning men in raore ;ways than one, and he would doubtless be so drunk that he vrould lie darmantly quiet all night. He went to bed and was soon sound. asleep The journalist, however, awakened about twelve o,clock , and, thinking it a long tires between drinks, dressed. him- self; unconsciously. in the druggist's clothes, and sailed out to make a. night of it. Ever and anon he .muttered. as he- treatect all present: "Funniest thing I ever heard of. When 1 went to bed last night I only had twenty-five coats to my name, and now I have got over $100 (showing a corpulent roll of bills), and I'm bound to vend every cent of it before morning." He did. Presence of Mind. Presence of mind has proved valua- ble in several interesting cases. Henry Kuhn, at the bottom of a Dubuque well; drove his pickaxe into the side, and • stood under it wheu he saw the earth - laden bucket falling, thus saving him- self from being crushed. John Carey, when lightning struck the Now Haven mill, of which he was foreman, knocked down three of the panic-stricken opera- tors, who were madly rushing toward the narrow exit, and so prevented a dangerous Jam on a stairway. Mrs. Dunkin, of Long Prairie, Minn., was threatened -with an an axe by her crazy son. She &Lid : "Well, if you want to cut my head off, let's go to the chopping block." He nodded., and they passed out to the wood -pile. It wasdark, and addressing him with, "Now, I'll put my head on the block," she drew the white kerchief from her neck and threw itsdown and slipped aWay. The lunatic struck the kerchief a heavy but harm- less blow. Julia Clarke, a San Francis- eo factory girl, was caught in a machine by her lona hair. She .seized a pair of shears and cut off her tresses so quickly that she was not drawn between the wheels and killed, as she otherwise • would have -been. Ten men started down the shaft of a Nevada mine in a small skip. The donkey engine broke, and the miners felt their vessel sink downward with lightning speed. Death- ly fear turned every face whise. s In the panic most of them clutched the skip to wait for the crash. At the first intima- tion of a disaster, Patrick McCarthy, the engineer at the top of the shaft, seized a heavy plank a,n.d thrust the end between the pigeon -shaft and the real from which the cable was running off. The drum was running at terrific speed, and the friction produced. fire and streams of smoke. But -the en- gineees thrust was exactly at he right point, ancl the end of the board soon checked the descent, bringing the skip to a standstill a few feet from the bot- tom. Ere play was stopped at Saxon led Bains, he hung around the. place, ten- dering instructions to inexperienced players. Afterward he haunted Mon- aco, where, however, he was refused access to. the gaming tables when he had money. So he died in poverty. A New Race of People. The Portuguese explorer, Major Pinta in his recent explorations in Southern Africa, announces that he has discovered a race of white men, hitherto entirely unknown, living near the source of Zambezi River. Ile says:— "A-great white people exist in South Africa,. Their name is Cassequer ; they are whiter than the Caucasians, and in place of kair they have their heads covered with small tufts of very short wool. Their cheek bones are prominent, their eyes like those of the Chinese. The • men are extremely robust. When they discharge an arrow a,t an elephant the shaft is completely buried in the animal's body. They live on roots and the chase, and it is only when these supplies fail them that they hold any relations with the neighboring race, the Ambuelas, whom they obtain food from in exchange for ivory. The Cas- sequeres are an entirely nomadic race, and never sleep two, nights in the same encampment. They are the only people in Africa that do not cook their food in pots. They wander about, in groups of from four to six families, over all the territory lying between the Cuchi and the Cubango. It would seem that from a crossing of the Oassequeres with the pegroes or other races sprang those mu,attoes of the south whom the , English call Bushmen. The latter are, 1 however, better off than the Cassequ- eres, and use pots in cooking their food, while their dispositions are good, though quite opposed to civilization." A Hungry In.sect. There is always something to pes- ter the agricultural community. Some- times it is,a new-fangled bug, and again it is an improved worm, and next a double back -action fly; and they all' apparently come for the same purpose, that is to eat up something. It is, says a western paper, our sorrowful duty to announce a new pest, that will carry dismay to many a homestead. It is a small red insect, something like a winged ant, and it is exceedingly hungry. These insects do not care for wheat or oats or turnips or cabbage, but they love to dine on the unprotected. pet of the farming community the guileless potato bug. This miserable insect destroys the larvae of the bug, and if the old bug Jai oaself comes in the way and objects, it makes no bones of dining on the bug himself. The grief of the farmer who purchases Paris green as a delicacy for his pet bugs May be imagined. It is not known whether anything can be done to save the un- fortunate potato bugs from the ravages of this marauder, but no doubt science will yet devise a means of protection, and therfore it is to be hoped that the agricultural interests of this great ancl glorious country will not be paralyzed by the advent of this .voracious insect. Still this hope is tinged with sadness for we hear from the w'est that many estimable potato bugs have already fallen a prey to this insatiate destroyer. • • . A Great Gambler. The weight of evidence, or rather of assertion, is that Garcia, the famous garabler, is indeed dead. He was a Spaniard, and first came into fame as a great player at Holmberg, where he arrived with a small capital, some 5,000 or 10,000 francs. A steady ran of fortune in his favor increased his capital to half a million, and made him '`the Hon of the place. M. Blanc, who died two years ago, enjoyed a tilt of this titanic sort, thud was also keenly alive to the advantages of a gigantic adver- tisement, hence he gave the gambler the privilege of playing five times the limit, or maximum, so that on each roll of the ball $12,000 d.epencled. Af- ter a two months' struggles Garcia left Romberg in his own carriage, drawn by four horses, with the whole town cheer- ing hina, and something like 2,500,000 francs in his possession. He 'went home to Spain, built a church, gave alms lib - meaty, and took an oath never to game: bis again. This oath he kept for two year, living iu a princely •fashion in Spain, but apeudine the gaming seasan an th.e Panne, watching the players with serene pleasure. Unhappily one day at Baden the Duke of Morny met hira and asked him to play a few stakes that he might have an opportunity. of seeing slomething of the wonderful sys- tem by which the great gambler had brokeu the bank. Garcia declined, and explaiued tilos; lie had .reilounced play forever, to which. the Duke replied with something of a sneer that probably he had been prudent in doing so. Garcia, nettled at the remark, put down a note and lost itand auotlisr1 and lost that. he Duke laughed. so tauntingly at this t Garcia went to his hotel, stuffecl pookets with notes and gold, and re- turned to the play room. Wh.en it dosed at night he had lost nearly $100,- 000; in a few days the whole $500,000 had vanished. The Calzado affair fol- lowed, when Garcia was imprisoned for eard-eharping. This ruined. him finally. Clippings From "Grip." mutes TO BE OBSERVED IN II. B. TRaVEL. No. 1.

It was exhibited on Saturday at the re- sidence of Mr. Meier, 477 Sherman street, to representatives of the press and a few specially invited. guests. The clock stands 18 feet in height, and is en- closed in a bladk walnut frame elabor- ately carved and ornamented. It is called the American National and As- tronomical Clock. Very appropriately the crowning figure is that of Liberty, 'upon a canopy over the head of Wash-- ingtou, who is seated upon a marble dome. Th.e canopy is supported by columns on either side. -On niehes be- low at the four cornere of the clock are four human figures representing in- fancy, youth, manhood and age.. Each of these figures has a bell in one hand and a hammer iu the other. The niches are supported by angels with flaring torches, and over the centre is the figure of Father Time. The strik- ing of this clock is its interesting per- formance. At the quarter hour the figure of the infant strikes its tiny bell; at the half hbur the figure of the youth strikes its bell of .louder bone; at the third. quarter the man strikes his bell, and at the fall 411.0un the gray -beard. Then the figure of Time steps oat and tolls the hour. Then two small figures throw open doors in the columns on eitherside of Washington, and there is a procession of the Presidents of the United States. As the procession' moves Washington rises and salutes each fig- ure as it passes, and it in turn salutes him. They move through'the door CD. the other side, and it is then closed be- hind them. The figures of the Presi- • dents are pretty fair likenesses of the persons they are intended to represent. This procession moves to the accom- paniment of music played by the/clock itself. The music machinery is capable • of playing several airs, especially 'na- tional and patriotic airs. Another interesting feature of the clock is an orrery which shows the Inovenients of the earth, moon and planets, all perfect and controlled by . the machinery of the clock. There are dials which show the hour, minute and second in. Detroit, Washingtqp, New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, Con- stantinople, Cairo, Pekin and Mel- bourne. The clock also shows the day of the week and month in Detroit, the mouth and season of the year, the changes of the • moon, etc. the whole forming most wonderful and complicat- -ed machinery. Mr. Meier has worked upon this clock nearly ten years, and for the last four years has devoted his whole time to it. He is a Bavarian by birth, is about 34 years of age, and has lived in this colin-: try 13 years. He is a stone -cutter by trade, and was employed for a number of years in the stone -yard of David Knapp. To furnish him time and. means to complete this clock a, joint stock company was formed, called the • American National and Astronomical Clock Company, with a capital stock of $50,000, and this company now Owns the clock, upon which it has expended' in actual cash some $7,000. As be- fore stated, the frame is very rich and elaborate, having been designed and carved by Mr. Ferdinand 'Lapp. The devices are not only beautiful/ but are appropriate.—Detroit Post and Tri- bune. • Bucklen's Arnica. ,Salve.
