The Jccky Ciub hall at Placerville, on
Thursday night week, is represented to
have been a splendid affair. Largo num

A Hindoo Clock.— A, strange clock
is said to have once belonged to a
Hindoo prince. In front of the clock's
disc was a gong swung upon poles,
and under it was a pile of artificial
human limbs. The pile was made up
of the same number of parts necessa
ry to constitute twelve perfect bodies;
but all lay heaped together in appar
ent confusion. When the hands of the
clock indicated the hour of one, out
from the pile cravfled the number of
parts needed to form the part of one
man, part coming to part with a quick
click, and, when completed, the figure
sprung up, seized a mallet, and walk
ing up to the gong struck one blow.
This done, he returned to the pile
and fell to pieces again. When two
o'clock came, two men arose and
did likewise; and at the hours of noon
and midnight, the entire heap sprang
up, and, marching to the gong, struck,
one after the other, his* blow, making
twelve in all; then returning, fell to
pieces as before.— Hock ford Magazine.

Will the Icelanders Leave Iceland?
^Commenting upon an »article from 1
the »Springfield Republican , in which
that paper speculates upon the prob
ability that the recent frightful ernp^
tions in Iceland will drive the people
awav from that island, the Cincinnati
Commercial says: The Icelanders are*
not likejy to leave their beloved island
while there is good pasturage on any
part of it. The notion that they arfr
about emigrating to Alaska in large'
numbers is not warranted by any
thing coming from the Iceland
ders themselves. As for earthquakes
und outbursting volcanoes, they are
the normal phenomena of the land of
frost and fire. There are very few in
habitants inf the è tstern portion of Ice
land, and if the volcanic action is con
fined to that quarter, the shoivers of
ashes will be harmless in the tremen
dous desert. The volcanic region is
the southern central part of the island,
where the climate is mildest and the
pasturage richest, and the rivers are*
filled with fine fish. If the earth
quakes are serious and the lall of ash
es great in that part of the country,
the loss ot life will be very great,
\N hen the island is severely shaken
the fish desert the rivers, and there -
is a dust from the volcanoes that, fall
ing on the grass, poisons the cattle
and sheep. In this way the food sup
ply is destroyed, and the death of the
cattle is followed by pestilence among
the people. During the historic peri
od ot Iceland, extending over one thou
sand years, there have been thirty
eruptions of Ilecla, the last occurrence
in 184o, since which d ate no alarming
volcanic disturbances occurred until
this spring. In 1845 the glare of
lleckla and her thunders were terrible*
at iteikiavik, one hundred and forty
miles distant. The Icelanders are not
they have net the spirit of
their old romances through the long
winter nights, and with milk and fish
and corn brandy they can get along so
us to satisfy theipselves.
They are never thinking less of com
ing away from their old home than at
present. A few years ago some small
parties of Icelanders came to this
country and settled in Wisconsin. It
happens in part from this circum
stance, that Icelanders know- some
thing of Chicago and a great deal
about Milwaukee. The tendency of
the letters written to Iceland by those
who have settled in this country is to*
discmrage further emigration. It is
gravely stated in Iceland that they
mmplain of the climate. They have
terrible stories of the wintry st •rtno
in our Northwest and of the prostra
tion of business caused by the panic.
It is about as probable that the inhab
itants t»f Paris will emigrate to Ohio j
as that the Icelanders will insist upon
troiiiiT to Alaska.
