ly inquired :
“Is that wbnt you call a good firo?”

“Hardly.”

he made do reply. He waitt d ap
prehensively for what wus to follow.
"I’ll bet you have got a pound of
assorted c indies iu you clothes this

This came so directly iu tho
form of au interrogation, that Mr.
Crawford unhesitatingly nodded.
“co I thought, pursued Fanny's
brother. "Now I want to tell you;
if this fire business is to be carried
on by m", there’s got to bo a diffot-
ent arrangement of things. If not,
you can como up here and cat your

“Why—why—I—I hardly would
like to do that, Tommy. I got these

tils as ho found
tho colliery, put
and commi-nood fashionini
wood into whatever forms
suggested. Th#u he conceived the
idea of rnakiug a clock npou ad elab
orate soulo, nud went to work with
the devotion of an onthusiaet, until
at tlio oud of nearly a decade he had
produced a piece of ineob«niHm that
says a correspondent who has in
spected it, is certainly wonderful to
coutomplato, considering the condi
tions under which it was made. The
clock stands about nine feet high,
and is uncusod iu an alaboraitily
carved case of black waluat, counis-
tiug of -1U5 pioces of perfect finish
Each of those pieces was turned in
the mine by the enthusiastic miner
with a tool that would make a cabi
net-maker smile, being nothing less
than a broken saw file. But the
workmanship is perfect, and the
symmetry of tho several parts would
do credit to tho best wood carver in
the country. “H nv did I make my
measurements?” said MeGlyun.—
“With a piece of string. Oh, I nev
er t tin sliuit of materi ds. If one
thing didn’t do I take another."
In addition to tho 400 turned pieces
in black walnut, which comprise the
name work ot the clock, it Inis six-
ty-threo moving figures actuated by
machinery, so deftly arranged as to
produce interesting historical and
biblical scenes. It is the intention
of the miner und mechanic to make
tho number of figures u hundred as
soon as his moans, which ure rath
er limited, shall afford such an ad
ditional outlay.
The front of the clock shows three
balconies, rising above a massive
and elcgautly carved pedestal, and
upon Itiosu tho moving tiguies ap
pear. The lower balcony shows a
procession of continental sol tiers,
headed by a mounted General and
marching past, while the old liberty
boll proclaims its welcome notes of
freedom. A sentinel salutes the
Continentals as they pass, and just
at the moment a door is opened
from an upper balcony and reveals
Molly l’itclior with her cannon,which
she tiros with startling und realistic
effect. To show how well the inak
or of the clock bus considered the de
tails of hi- handiwork he has placed
n small revolving fan in the clock,
to lie actuated after the firing of
Molly’s eounou, for the purpose oi
clearing out the powder smoke
Simultaneous with this the portraits
of tho twenty presidents of the Uni
ted states pass in panoramic r view
ou u balcony just imove tbe i atriot-
ie tableau, of which Molly Pitcher is
tho central figure, aud Ttiotnas Jeff
erson holds up the Declaration of
Independence. The apostolic pro-
cess4.u1 is similar to those hitherto
seen in such clocks. The Twelve
Apostles tile past, 8atan appears,
and the cock crows in warning to
Peter. A figure of justice raises her
scales us the form of Christ appears
and during the sceno a large repre
sentation of death tolls off the min
utes upon a bell. When one sees
tbe clock, tbe tools with which it
was made, and hears the miner's
story of how he bought the wood for
it bit by bit as he could afford from
his spare change, he is sensibly im
pressed with human possibilities.

“How did you word tlm advertise

present, but a letter from him was
read, in which ho said: "I am d s-
mayml at the madness, at tlm hatred
evinced ugaiust the Jews. If the mi-

hie spirit of itm ago as to u bo almost

"I was sorgo Hit of a gun which
was stationed just there," said an
ex Confederate to mo as wo faced
tho height. “Wo did not believe
the Federals would charge the bill,
and when they came tin-second time
wo cheered them. Huoli bravery I
never saw on a battle-field. Some
of the mon who were bit way down
tlio street hobbled and limped for
ward and wero struck down within
nio hundred feat of tbo wall. This
road was the worst spectacle of tho
whole war Our artillery created
horrible slaughter on the heavy
intis of men at such close range.—
Flint tree down there at the oornor
of tho garden stood in an open field
then, and ju t beyond it. was a slight
swell. As Sumner’s troops cams
over 1 lint swell iu their second
charge, I fired into tbo lines just to
the right of tho tree, and tho shell
killed or wounded nearly overy man
iu one com auy. I saw grape and
canister open lanes through tho
ranks, and yet tbo bluo liuss closed
up again and dashed at the huso of
th* bill. Wo thought they were
madmen.
Do wn where tbe old shed stands
I saw a curious thing that day.—
When Sunnier was driven back tbe
second time a single Federal solder
wus left ot. his feet among the dead
there. Instead of falling back with
tlio lest lie stood there and loadod
aud fired us coolly as if at target
practice. He wounded oue roan m
in my company, killol a corporal
further up tlio bill, and shot a ii 11-
tenant there where tho wall curves.
He fired as many as six shots, being
fired at in return by u thousand
mon; but, as lie turned and walked
away, our men ceased firing and
gave him cheer after cheer.—M.
