FEIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 16.1870
(From the Hartford Time*.
The Strasbourg Cathedral Clock and
Library.
One of the most lamentable results of
the siege of Strasbourg, leaving out of
view the loss of human life, is the injury
which the bombardment has inflicted upon
the noble cathedral and its wonderful
astronomical clock. The vast cathedral,
which, perhaps, more than any other one
thing, has made the name of Strasbourg
celebrated, is one of the finest Gothic
buildings in Europe. It was founded A.
D. 504. The choir was built by Charle
magne ; probably about A. D. 800, though
it was not completed until 1439. The ma
terial of which the cathedral is built is a
brown stone, very much resembling our
Connecticut Portland freestone, so exten
sively used in Fifth avenue. It was ob
tained from a quarry at Wassebonne, in the
valley of Couronne, a few miles from Stras
bourg. The architect of the existing edi
fice was Erwin vpn Stqjnbach, of Baden.
One John Ilucllbjj of Cologne, was the
architect of the peerless tower. Its spire
is the loftiest in the world. Its height, 466
feet, surpasses St. Peter’s, and is about)
equal to that of the Great Pyramid. The
greater part of the entire structure wasj de
stroyed by lightning In 1007. and the re
stored edifice was begun in 1015 and com
pleted in 1439. The cathedral is in everv
part richly decorated with sculptures; and
the western,front, rising to a height of 280
feet, is, or was, particularly fine with Its
wealth of statues, ornamental carvings,
and Ims-reliefs. It has a circular window
48 feet in diameter. The Prussian heavy
artillery has made, it is said, a ruin of part
of the vast building.
The astronomical clock, the product of a
German clockmaker, in about the year
1550, Is a marvel of ingenuity and mechani
cal skill, and has no counterpart. It per
forms not only the ordinary service of a
clock, but exhibits the days, the months,
and the years; the process of the seasons;
the Bigns of the zodiac, and the names and
movements of the heavfenly bodies. At
each quarter-hour an angel comes out and
strikes one stroke on a bell; at every hour
another angel comes and strikes twice; and
at 12, meridian, a figure of Christ appears,
accompanied by the twelve apostles, all oi
whom move around a central point and
pass in, out of sight, by another door, the
stroke of twelve being given, and acock flaps
his wings aud crows. The clock is enorm
ous in size, like everything else connected
viththc vast cathedral, and is invisible
from the outside street—the spectator pass
ing through the nave of the cathedral to
see it. It has suffered from fire and vio
lence before the present year, having been
oat of repair and motionless since the revo
lution of 1793, until the year 1842, when it
was repaired by a watchmaker of Bas
Rhin, and has been in operation ever since.
It is $o be hoped that this ingenious piece
of mechanism has not been irreparably in
jured by the present bombardment.
The loss of the Strasbourg library—a
vast collection of 800,000 volumes, includ
ing many collections of rare and curious
monkish parchments—is total and irrepara
ble. It can never be replaced by an collec
tion hereafter made. It was the slow re
sult of a thousand years; and its destruc
tion by fire, caused by the Prussian hot
shot, is like the burning of the Alexandrian
• library in this, that of a great number of
works destroyed no duplicates can ever be
obtained.
Dueling.—Ws place before our “ young
bloods,” fpr their consideration, an extract
from that sterling paper, the Louisville
Courier-Journal, on dueling. Read it:
“In this age a bully’s denunciation can
fix no lasting stigma. The war proved per
sonal courage to be a common heritage to
our race, and that none stood the test so
poorly as the duelist and the bully. No
man now regards the acceptance of chal
lenge as .a proof of courage. On the con
trary, the tendency is to regard it as an act
of cowardly deference to the standard of
mock chivalry, set up by a class Who are
wanting in genuine courage and real manli
ness.”

in China, has been introduced in the United
States. Beautiful likenesses of a family
can be made on cups and saucers,

Austria and Russia.
RUMORED ALLIANCE DANGER TO THE
POLES —REASONS FOR RUSSIA’S ATTITUDE.
Our,Vienna correspondent says, writing
oirtlfe#lotii iust.: si /
The Austrian nationalities cannot get
oyer their fear of Rnssia. Hitherto they
have feared her as an enemy; now they
fear ber as a friend. The supposition that
i Count Chotok’s long journey from St. Pe
tersburg to Vienna was undertaken for
some other object than change of air, has
put the Hungarians in a ferment of alarm.
The Pesther Lloyd fears that some negotia
tions are in progress which might lead
to an with Russia. Such an al
liance, it says, could only be effected at the
expense of the Poles; and it warns the
Government against the consequences of
its Supposed policy. Until lately, it pro
ceeds, the Poles had the best prospect of
obtaining an extensive autonomy, but a
sudden change has now taken place in the
intentions of the Government, and Count
Potocki, at the moment when the wishes of
his countrymen were to be realized, main
tains an impenetrable reserve. The alarm
ing reports are also reproduced by the Ger
man organs; but they do this, apparently*
less from fear of Prussia, or love for the
Poles, with whom they have as yet shown
but little sympathy, than from a certain
weakness for Prussia. As vet, however,
there has been no trustworthy symptoms
of such a change in the relations between
the Prussian aud Austrian Governments.
That it was considered possible, is only
shown by the belief of our national poli
ticians that the force of events might lead
to rapprochement, though they are unable
to hazard any conjectures as to the occa
sion, value or extent of it. This is due, in
a great measure, to the ignorance which
prevails here as to the real state of things
in Prussia.
Those who observe and understand the
course of Prussian affairs cannot doubt
for a moment that the . initiative of a
friendly . arrangement need not proceed
from the Austrian Government. If people
did not undervalue the power which pub
lie opinion has obtained in Prussia during
the last few years, ttiey would perceive that
the attempt to effect a rapprochement is not
based on new absolutist projects, but
simply on the identity of the interests of
the two stated in the presence of the
dangerous aggrandizement of Prussia. We
have seen that at the beginning of the
war the Russian Government was strongly
disposed to take sides with Prussia, and
that it was only when the national or
gans unanimously pointed out'to the dan
ger caused to Russia by the pangermanist
idea that a change occurred, and the Gov
ernment entered on a path in which Au
stria could not but meet, it. To call this
a conspiracy against the freedom of the
European peoples is obviously absurd.—
As to the Poles, it is a stereotyped accu
sation against the Government that it
wishes to throw them as a bait to Russia.
The defeats of France have given' Russia
a sufficient guarantee that the Polish
question cannot now lie so easily or so
quickly revived, and she need not there
fore trouble herself about the extent of
the concessions which are to be giveu to
Galicia. Whether it would be advisable
at a moment when the autonomy of Au
stria herself has to be protected against
Prussia, to give the Poles a sufficiently
large autonomy to enable them to attack
Pussla, is a question which it is for the
Austrian Government alone to decide.

Execution of a Fiendish Murderer.
On Friday, was hung at West Union,
lowa, Andrew Thompson, for the murder
of Mrs. Haggerty and her three children.
The story is: John Haggerty, who lived
near McGregor, lowa, went to the war, and
Tompson seduced his young wife. This
became known in the vicinity, and when
Haggerty came home, finding it out, he left
the country not.to r turn. Thompson, who
had a wife and eight children, took Mrs.
Haggerty to his farm, where she resided in
a cottage. In the Fall of ’6B, she becoming
pregnant, and he growing tired of he -, he
first removed her to the neighboring tovOn,
and thence one day in midwinter he took
her and her children under the pretence of
moving them to a comfortable home. Meet
ing persons, he, stud he was moving a family
to Illinois. He crossed the river, aud for
days and nights drove the poor woman and
her 1 title ones about., evidently for the pur
pose of freezing them to death.
A few nights after he commenced this
terrible journey, people near the Mississip
pi beheld a bright light on its shore, and
pitied the poor family whose house they
supposed to be on fire that pitilessly cold
night As that Are burned, Andrew
Thompson was driving his horses rapidly
away towards home, under the secret of a
dark winter’s night. He was all alone, and
the coverings, straw, furniture and trunks
which had been in the sleigh before were
missing—they had made the Are on the
bank of the river. Mrs. Haggerty, with
her infant, her daughter, aged fourteen
years, one son, aged eleven years, and an
other aged eight, were under the ice.—
Either they had been turned upon by the
fiend and stabbed or beaten to death one
by one, or they had been taken, numbed
and helpless, owing to the cold, and forced
through a hole in the ice to be drowned.
The theory that they were first murdered
or partially killed in the sleigh is the more
plausible, as in the other case there would
have been no blood-stained robes and fur
niture to be destroyed by fire. All of
Thompson’s acquaintances supposed that
he bad been to Illinois, and left the unfor
tunate family in a comfortable home, aud
he was not suspected of any crime. In the
Spring of. 1869 the frozen waters of the
Mississippi began breaking up, and the
boatmen went to work caulking and re
painting their boats. Some of them were
workiug at the shore of the river near Pra
rle du Chien, when they discovered several
truuks half rotted by the water. They
were palled out, and on being opened fluty
were found to contain two likenesses and
sundry articles of woman’s apparel.
The likenesses proved to be those of An
drew Thompson’s father and mother, and
the other articles were the former property
of Mrs Haggerty. Only a few days after
the body of Mrs. Haggerty and the bodies
of her children were found in a slough near
the river’s bank at Cassville. The rem
nants of a fire was discovered on the shore
near by, and in the ashes were particles of
the clothing which formerly belonged to
the mnrdered woman. Every scrap of cir
cumstantial evidence was collected, and a
perfect chain was made, link after link,
proving the murder of the whole family to
have been committed by Thompson. He
was tried, convicted, and was hung on Fri
day. He stands in the criminal calendar
as one of the most brutal of murderers.
At the late grand opening of costly fab
rics at the store of A T. Stewart, a mag
nificent specimen of Gobelin tapestry was
displayed, which was manufactured in
Paris, and valued at SIO,OOO. It represent
ed a view of the harbor of Marseilles, and
is a wonderful piece of workmanship. It
requires the labor of a single person for
one year to produce a single square yard
of the tapestry, and it is always .worked
from the .background, while the front is
covered. - Bach tint is formed, from single
threads, and the covering is only, removed
in places to determine the proper blending
of colors.
On Monday two well known cotton deal
ers of Mobile made a flying trip " across
the line” via the New Orleans Railroad to
adjust a slight difference of opinion arising
as Madame Rumor states it, out of a wager
touching the cotton crop. The weapons
chosen were pistols; distance, fifteen paces.
After an exchange of shots friends inter
posed and adjusted the matter satisfac-
J torily.

J. E. SPENCER & CO., N. Y„
Which are now offered to the public, are pro
nounced by all the celebrated Opticians of the
World to be the
MOST PERFECT,
Natural, Artificial help to the human eye ever
known. They are ground under their own sxi
pervisiou, from minute Cbrystal Pebbles, melt
ed together, and derive their name, “Dia
mond,” on account of their hardness and bril
liancy.
The Scientific Principle
On which they are constructed brings the core
or centre of the lens directly in front of the eye,
producing a clear and distinct vision, as in the
natural, healthy eight, and preventing all un
pleasant sensations, such as glimmering and
wavering of sight, dizziuess, &c., peculiar to
all others in use.
They are mounted in the finest manner, in
framesof the best quality, of all materials used
lor tliat purpose. THEIR FINISH AND
DURABILITY CANNOT BE SURPASSED.

IMPORTANT CERTIFICATES TO BUYERS OF COTTON TIES.
John T. Butler, Esq.: New Orleans, May 18, 1867.
Bir: We, the undersigned, having been engaged for a number of years in the business of
compressing Cotton coming to this market, cheerfully take this opportunity of statiug, for the
benefit of Merchants, Planters and the public in general, that in our opinion the Butler Buckle
Cotton Tie should have preference over all other Ootloq Ties, as being the strongest, simplest
and easiest of application, and know that we can compress a bale of Cotton put up with this
Tie with more facility and expedition than with any other Tie now in use.
The Buckles which are attached to other Ties are weak in their construction, and very in
secure, and we have been compelled in many instances, and at onr own expense, to use the
Butler Buckles with which to replace the others.
