“What’s the time o’day?” asked a citi
zen jyterday, and a Telegraph reporter
and several others present hauled out their
chronometers, and a comparison revealed
the fact that the list of the different sorts
of time was as long as that embraced in the
new divisions. Cogitating on the matter,
the reporter sought Jeweler Ries, of Will
iams & Williams, who keeps the city clock
in order, and asked him what the time was.
“I have just set my clocks this morning,
and if you had our time yesterday, and
your watch is any good, you will find your
time half a minute slow.”
“How do you get the true time?
“I get it front Washington, where it is
taken exactly by the position of the sun.
You see, there arc five divisions. First,
there is inter-colonial time, which is the
time for Nova Scotia and a little corner of
the United States. Next is Kastern time,
embracing the New England States and a
slice of the Union all the way down, so
the longitudinal line happens to strike a
projection.
“The third division is known as 00th
meridian time; then follow meridian time
and pacific iiuie.”
“Which is our division?”
“We get 90th meridian, and there is just
an hour’s difference in the various di
visions. We arc 26 minutes behind
sun time here, but we arc in the same
division with Washington, and very nearly
in the centre of the division.”
“How do you manage to get the time
from Washington?"
“Well, on the observatory the manager
has the various divisions connected with
the instrument there by wire. The opera
tor here can hear the ticking of the clock
here on his instrument just as plainly as
in Washington, and exactly at noon the
ball drops, and in the fiftieth part of a
second the stroke is heard here. I go to
the instrument with a good watch, and as
that is a seconds clock in Washington I
ran tell to a second when the hall drops.
Of course by a simple calculation I can
tell our time here.”
“How often do you get time?"
t*About once a month, usually, bnt some
times twice a month. 1 get it as I require
it."
“Do yon.ever get far wrong hero?”
“Never more than thirty seconds, and
sometimes less than that. One time, the
closest I remember, I was jnst two seconds
wrong. Thnt was the closest I ever knew,
though.”
“Clocks and watches, then, are not abso
lutely correct?"
“No, they are not. Many n man thinks
he knows all about time, and will swear
about his watch, but it is impossible to
overcome such obstacles, and the
influence of temperature, and it
consequently, im|H>saiblc to make a per
fcctly necurnto time niece. I have seen
some clocks that woulil run for a month and
vary but a few seconds, and I have known
one’thut did not vary as mueli as half t
minute in twelve months, but such in
stances are exceedingly rare.”
“How much do you ever let the city
dock get wrong?”
“Never more than a minute. 8o soon as
it gets thnt far off I go up and regulate it.
You sec that has a wooden jiendiiluni rod
and they are usually very accurate, but
strange to say that clock is the very reverse
of what jeweler's rules lay down. In cold
weather it loosrs and in hot weather
gains, while just vice verta is whnt would
be expected. Metallic roils gain with con
traction and lose with expansion, so that
in winter they run fast and in summer
slow. The city clock is, however, a very re
liable time piece for all ordinary use.”
AN OLD DRIVER.
“Talking almut railroads,” said Uncle
Ira Jennings vestenlay as he laid down a
basket of fresh Warrior district eggs; “did
you know that I drove a ear on the first
railroad built in New York 8ute?”
The Teleuraph knew that for over
•evenly years Uncle Ira had counted mile
stones on the stage roads; knew thnt he
was the oldest United States mail carrier,
but did not know thnt lie was among the
original street car drivers, and so told him.
."Well, from Owego to Ithaca is twentj
nine miles, ami in 1 830 there was a turn
pike bvtweon the towns. I drove tlsestagj
on that turnpike until a railroad was
built, which was a year later. The erosstie*

appreciation of Louis Mazzantini, the

for a benefit at the plaza. More than

loud applause. From the bull-fighters’
quarters there issued a horseman in

black animal. He was accompanied by a
child equally well mounted and attired in
a dress of various colors, and came to ob-

' A few days ago, in the new town of
Rochelle, on the. Amcricus, Preston and
Lumpkin, a farmer walked up to the sta
tion leading a young steer by a rope at
tached to ins horns, which steer was draw
ing a two-wheel cart, and in tho cart sat
nit old lady and two buxom young girls.
They, the girls, had never before seen a
railroad, and had come down on this quiet
R'abbath morn to sec the monster for the
first time.
After driving thc steer and cart over thc
road the old man drove up by the side of
tho track a few fret and halted. Jnst then
the whistle of thc engine was heard ns it
approached the station, and the rumbling
aoiind was heard for thc first time by tin-
two girls. They linth jumped up as' the
steaming, shrieking engine came rusliin;
into view, while Ruck thiew up his heat
and began to back.
The old man yelled “Whoa, Buck!”
while thc old woman said, "Sot still Vic

ergus, it ain’t er gwine ter hurt ycr. Me
an’ yer imp lias rid on krere,” and she
caught hold nf the dress of each one; but

while tin* old woman was spilled in a tor-
Irliihj mixed up state with her clothing,
railing first to one girl and then the other:
“Victoria Elizabeth, yo' tin’ Josephine

But her entreatv was vain, the girls
heard her but believed their salvation
was in flight, and they ran almut as
fast as Buck, while the old woman
picked herself up and started after

leaped over it like a deer, but her dress
caught on a stake and there was a tearing

From the rhilsdelphla Prce*.
New Yokk, January 10.—Thc curtain
dropped on the last scene of thc Cambell-
Arhttckle breach of promise suit, wherein
§100,000 damages were modestly asked for,
promptly at 10.45 o’clock this morning—
at least so far ts part IV. of the Supreme
Court, thc Hon. Miles Beach upon the
bench, was concerned. At this time, and
in fact throughout the entire proceedings,
the principals were not in court. “Bunnie”
and “Baby Bunting” were absent, and
they were missed, sadly missed. “Bunnie”
feared she could not stand thc strain when
the verdict was given and wisely remained
at her rooms in Jersey City. “Baby Bunt
ing” evidently realized that his presence
would do no good, and which ever way the
verdict went he would feel more comforta
ble if reckoned among the missing just
shout that time.
The jury announced that they had found
n verdict of §45,000 for Miss Campbell,
and a motion was granted by the court
ordering a thirty days’ stay after entry of
judgment to allow the case to be carried
on appeal. There was some applause at
tho verdict; some whistled, indicatingsur-
trisc, and phews were heard from a nuni-
K-r of the old gray beards and Laid heads
who have been so regular in their attend
ance during thc trial. The verdict seemed
like a warning to them, and an unexpected
one, too.
MISS CAMPBELL NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY.
At noon a reporter had quite a lengthy
interview with Miss Clara Campbell. Not
withstanding the fact that the jury had
awarded iter a very handsome sunt by thc
way of damages for blighted affections, the
lady did not appear liappv. Her hazel
eyes were swollen; the eyelids were red,
and it was painfully apparent that she had
liren weeping, and weeping bitter tears. In
fact she actually looked ton years older
than site did twenty-fonr hours previous,
and the reporter was puzzled. With such
u splendid verdict in iter favor, he expected
to find the plaintiff in an extremely happy
frame of mind.
“I feel grateful, but not happy, at the
result. Neither am 1 surprised at the ver
dict,” she replied to tho rej>orter’s inquiries.
When asked to explain why she felt as
she did Miss Campbell, with frankness,
said: “My friends in Ohio have been pray
ing for luc—praying that I would be vin
dicated. I have proved myself, and I felt
sure that God would not 'forget us. Our
prayers have been answered.”
Mis*Campbell continued:*
“I feci very grateful for all the kindness
1 have received during the trial. 1 feel
grateful toward the jury, not because they
have awarded me money fur the injury
done me, but because their vcrelict has
fully vindicated ntv good name. That,
air, lias been a comfort for me, I assure
you,os it makes me feel that they who have
heard all that I said justify the course I
pursued in bringing suit—a course that I
hesitated in for a long while. 1 am grati
fied, bnt far from happy.”
In answer to further inquiries, Miss

Marshallville, January 12.—[Co r .
respondenre.]—About 11 o’clock to-day a
small blaze was discovered on the roof of
Mrs. N. A. Bryant’s residence, which is
also occupied by Mr. Ilirum Hargrove.
The blaze soon developed into a conflagra
tion and rapidly consumed the dwellin'-
and smoke house. With the prompt at-
sistancc of citizens and hard work most of
the furniture was saved, and also scveril
outiiouses. Thc value of the property was
about $1,250. There was on the dwelling
and furniture $800 insurance. Thc fire ia
supposed to have caught from a spark.

A good joke on one of Talbot’s respecta

while it shows an eye to business, is not
without an amusing u-atlire. The cows of
this farmer, Mr. A., got into thc oca field
of his neighbor, Mr. B., and destroyed
nbout ton bushels of peas. Whereupon
farmer B. presented an account to farmer
A., claiming six dollars for ten bushels of
peas at sixty cent* per bushel. Farmer A.
examined tne account, and then, turning
to farmer B., said: “Look here, neighbor

to ntuke public in court a statement to the

were satisfied that the plaintiff hail been

But after further consideration they de-
cided such a course might is- improper for

B., my cow* ate up ten bushels of your

Therefore I only owe you lor five bushel*

With drooping head, and face in deepest shade,—

Haply she followed, trustfully and gny,

But struggles perish of futility
In such a grasp, and trust fades into dread
When timid feet by such a path are led.
Dumbly she follows, by thc threatening sea.

She met his smile. O wonderful and Uearl

And now she cannot all distrust and fear
He means her 111. And once again she knew

How ruthlessly he dragged with savage stress,.
Her bleeding feet the thorny thickets through!
And so heart-stilled with balanced hope and

Not fain, nor all unwilllnx, silently
She follows where her falterltif fret are led,—
Dumbly she follows, by the awful sea.

When |KHtr old Harry I tenth-, who was
killed in this place by Ihe ears several
weeks ago, waa laid away in hi* humble
grave, it was generallv supiNised that hi*
history on earth was forever closed, lint
this was a mistake. Coroner Johnson, who
seems to bc a little sensitive as to the con
sideration due his official dignify, con
cluded that the inquest held by Judge
Harrison was in the nature of a usurpation,
and was illegal and void. Acting upon
litis conviction, he summoned a jury, trad
the old neprn dug up, held another inquest,
satisfied himself officially and the jury col
lectively that Harry waa actually dead,
then reinterred thc body and promptly
forwarded hi* bill to the railroad aulnor-
