First; American Clock.

The personal property of the‘late
James Terry. at one time Terryville’s
leading citizen, recently was sold at
public auction. Much of the property
consisted of books and household goods
left by Mr. Terryfbesidesa few arti-
cles belonging to the estate of Mr.
Terry’s grandfather, Eli Terry, the
first clockmaker of America. ‘

The greatestvinterest centered in the
sale of the original “grandfather’s
cloc r,” Eli Terry’s first production,
and, therefore, the first tall clock made
by an American. It is a remarkably
handsome timepiece, the ultimate own-
ership of which has been the cause of
considerable controversy. The bidding
was confined to James Terry of New
Haven and E. Clinton Terry of Hart—
ford. the late Mr. Terry's only sons.
and the clock was finally bought by E.

MR. CHUNG’S QUEER BUSWESS.

He Polishes the Bones of Dead Celestiala
and Sen’ds Them Home to China.

 

Mr. Chung is a contractor in the em-
ploy of the Chinese Six Companies of
San Francisco. He entered into a con—
tract eleven years ago to travel all
over the United States and exhume the
bones of Chinamen. All Chinameu
who come to this country have a con-
tract with the Six Companies that, in
case of death, their bones shall be re-
turned to the Flowery Kingdom, and
Mr. Chung is the man who personally
sees that the contract is carried out.
He is intrusted with the task of keep.
ing track of the dead Chinamen, tak-
ing their bones out of the grave, and
shipping them to China—the only place,
according to their religion, where they
can find absolute rest. As he is under
$30,000 bonds to do the work well, it
is needless to say that he is careful.
He brings two assailants from San
Francisco. who do the rough vork. He
had with him, when he came here, the
names of four Celestials, three of
whom died here in 1889 and one in
1832. All of these will be exhumed
and shipped. Dr. Gray, the health of—
iiccr. having supplied a certificate that
none died of, contagious diseases.

Chang‘s contract says that he must
not {Ill the bones mixed; that each in-
dividtta‘ set must be cleaned, put". in a
white iliiz-iln bag, and then be boxed
s areiy for shipment across the Pa-
c;.'e-. lie is not allowed to cut. saw, or
break a bone, nor can he boil the bones
to get the flesh off, on penalty of for-
feiture of his bond. He says that three
years serve to do away with the. flesh,
but: they are, generally :llowed to re-
main in the grave longer than that. in
order to make sure of a Clean job when
he goes at it. Each set of bones is la-
belled, and a record is kept of them.
All are shipped to San Francisco. and
when four tons have been collected
they are put on a steamer and Shipped.
The Six Companies have a special con-
tract with the steamship companies,
and the cost of a ride across the gr ‘at
deep in this particul. 1' condition is
only $2.50. and the company boasts
that there has never been a kick on
high rates!

Mr. Chang‘s assistants aroused the
four peaceful sleepers from their long
rest. polished them up according to
contract. and sent them on their way——
if not rejoiciig. at least according to
contract.—Ellensburg Register. ‘

 

 

lT LOOKED WARLIKE.

The Spanish Minister “‘ns Alarmed at a
Senate. Junket.

some years ago. when the question of
immigration and yellow fever and
cholera were being looked into, a sub-
committee of the Senate ras ap-
pointed, consisting of Senators Proc-
tor, Chandler and Call, to visit Ha-
vana. It was just before the Christ-
mas holidays, and a visit to the Cuban
port in the winter season is not with-
out, its attractions. The proposed trip,
however. rather disturbed the Spanish
Minister. He knew the belligerent pre-
pensities of Chandler and Call, and he
hastened to the State Department with
a despatch from Madrid, anxious to
learn whether the investigation was
proposed with peaceable intent.

Secretary Foster listened to the ex-
Cllt‘tl Minister with great suavity.
“There is no occasion for alarm," he
said. reassuringly. “You know that
the. holiday recess is approaching and
these Senators are simply arranging
for a pleasure trip. I am sure there
is nothing else in it.”

A great light of intelligence broke
over the Spanish Minister’s face.

“0h,” he exclaimed, “a peek-neck, a
peek-neck!” And he went away much
relieved—“Emitington Post.

Not Safe to Think Aloud.

Baron Park. one of the most famous
ametig a past generation of judges.
was exceedingly deal“, and. iii-2e many
tleal‘ people. had contracted a lzabit of
thinking aloud. YWhen engaged one
day in trying a man charged with
stealing some firewood, he took lun-
brage at the prosecutor‘s positive iden-
tification of the stolen faggots. “How
can he know that. the faggots are his."
soliloquized the learned judge. “when
one faggot is as like another faggot as
one egg is like another egg?" Counsel
for the defence was quick to take ad
vantage of this. unintentional hint from
the Bench. "il’ow." he asked the pro-
secutor. "can you know that the fag-
u‘ots are yours when one faggot is as
like another faszgrot as one egg is like
another can?" The question had a suc-
cess tt'ilieh was probably unhopcd for
-l“t'('ll it}: the questioner, for it led to the
immediate intervention of the judge.
'l‘urning to the jury, Baron Park re-
marked. “Gentlemen, you will acquit
the prisoner. That very thought flashed
through my mind not a minute before
the words were spoken by the learned
counsel. it is a direct interposition of
Providence. —

The Fish 1Wouldn‘t; Hire.

The following story is told of a ecle-

bratetl novelist and a well-l-znown
t-ritie. "he critic had written a, bitter

attack on the novelist‘s work: but
the latter. being a good-natured man,
instead of overwhelming liin with
vituperation in any periodical lit} could
tind sutl‘ieien‘tly accommodating to pub-
lish it. requested a mutual friend to
bring the critic to his house to dinner
some evenii g. When llu received the
invitation. tliis was the critics reply—-
"I certainly shall not col-1e simply
tvahtsto heap coals of tire. on my head;
and do you suppose I am fool enough
to hold the scuttle for him?"
