HOSPITALITY.
A Wonderful Tiece of Mechanism That
Represents the Sufferings of Jesus.
Hermann Jacobs, a carpenter, of Bunz-
lan. Prussia, has been credited with con­
structing a wonderful piece of mechan­
ism representing in several successive
scenes the passion of the Saviour. All
the actors in the grand but beautiful
drama are carved from wood, aud are
each about six inches in height. The
machinery runs by clockwork, and enacts
the various parts three times in ea-. h
winding. The panorama first unfolded
is a beautiful garden, with a figure of
Jesus kneeling in prayer under one of
the trees, figures of the three sleeping
apostles being plainly discernible in the
distance.
As the machinery warms up the
wheels and the figures move more rap­
idly, quickly unfolding the last scenes in
the earthly career of Jesus. The last
supper, the betrayal, the remorseful
look which comes over the face of Judas
when he first realizes the extent of his
crime, the examination of Jesus before
Caiaphas, the dialogue between Pilate
and the Jews—all flit before the gaze in
a manner so astonishingly lifelike and
real as to make one almost believe him­
self at Calvary. After the sentence has
been pronounced a figure of Jesus with
the cross apixjars.
The cross is mechanically erected while
the little figures busy themselves biuding
the figure to l>e nailed upon it. Ladders
are run up to the arms of the cross, a
little figure quietly sli|>s over the rungs,
then there is a sound of hummers as two
figures hold the one that is being nailed
to the cross by the figures on the ladders.
At last, when all is thought to l>e fiu-
ished, a figure on horseback slide« across
the platform, draws his sword and
thrusts it into the side of the figure on
the cross. The last scene shows Jesus
in the sepulcher, with angels guarding
the remains.
Mr. Adams in his ‘’Letters on Silesia”
says: ‘’It is the most remarkable piece
of mechanism I have ever seen. The
traitor’s kiss, the scourging, the nailing
to the cross, the sponge of vinegar and
every seeming pain inflicted occasion
feelings which cannot be felt at mere
description.”—St. Louis Republic.
Ilow Frank I.«**li« Died.
Mr. Leslie was physically strong and
hearty to the very hour of his death, all
his life being singularly free from achee
or pains. His death was caused by a
«mall tumor in the throat: being just
beneath the jugular vein, the tumor
could not lie touched by the lance The
day of his death Mr. Leslie took a long
walk, little thinking that in a few hour«
he should be numbered with those who
have gone on ahead of 11« to the un­
known country. They sent for me in
the heart of the city. I hastened to his
bedside with nil sfieed. When I arrived
he lay sleeping. I «poke to him. He
did not know me, or appear to take
much interest in my words. Still, I felt
hopeful. I could not believe that he
must die. Those about the bed were
wiser.
One said to me: "Do not deceive
yourself; this means death." I put my
two arms over the dying man’s shoul­
ders ami looking into his face asked him
to speak to me. He opened his eyes,
smiled faintly, then said to me these
words: "Yon are beautiful and 1 love
you!” He had thrown all hi« life into
hi» voice. His bead dropped back—he
was dead. Yet even in the face of death
thia mail had time to turn aside from
