American manufactures - The
American Watch 90. OF
a sVsaIlharM. Mass.

Every one knows that the mechanism of
the best manufactures of this country is
unequalled in any part of the world The
genius of american mechanics produced the
cotton-gin, the mechanical reaper and now
er, the sewing machine, and last but not
least, the wonderful machinery Of the
American Watch Company of Waltham.
This Company was established in 1850, and
has grown in proportions which entitle it to
a first rank among the manufacturing en-
terprises Of the New World. 1t employs
between 900 and 1000 artizans Of superior
skill and character, and large and thriv-
ingtown has grown up in lis vicinity. The
factory covers over three acres OF ground,
and as an illustration of its extent, we may
mention that it is supplied with more than
60 miles of iron pipes and produces an ag
mum. The founders of this company be-
lieyed that the same delicate mechanical
process which had produced such remark
bly, perfect results in larger machines,
might be applied with even greater advan-
tage to the production OF the watch. The
foreign time pieces are made principally by
hand, and except when of high cost, an i'm
perfect article, often out Of repair, and of
little value IS the result. ABROAD, tneSe
mysterious and infnitesimal organs which,
when aggregated, produce the watch, are
the fruit of slew and toilsome manual pro-
cess In the results, there must of course
be lack Of that perfect uniformity whichis
indies pensible for correct time keeping. The
constituent parts Of the American watch, on
the other hand, are fashioned by the most
delicate and accurate machinery. Wheels.
pInions. springs, screws. absolutely uniform
in weight, circumference, dimensions, aud
in every possible particular, are turned out
in myriads by .unerring fingers ofsteel, and
their proper combination, and adjustment
by skilful workmen have given the company
its high repetaiion, It's watches not only
go with the trade and go in the pockets of
200 600 people, but they go right and go
every where.--E1change.

About O'Clock on the morning of the

trance without much opposition, and robbed
the safe of $500, 900 in United States bonds
and about $50, goo in deposits. After lock-
ing the Batchman in The safe,ythey made
good their escape on hand car, cutting the
telegraph wires in two places. The robbers

The Return OF var. George pea-
BODY.

tl3 From the New York Post, May I.
Among the passengers who arrived here
his morning, ON the Scotia, was Mr.. George
Peabody Mr. Peabody's welcome TO the
land of his birth will be hearty.
= Born in Danvers, Mass, on the 18th Of
February, 1875, he had at first to struggle
with poverty, like most of our very rich
men. Beginning his commercial career as
clerk with Danvers grocer, at the age Of
eleven; afferward employed in the same
capacity at Thetford, VT, and at Newbury-
port, Mass, he gradually but slowly i'm
proved his condiuon, until, in 1914, he be-
came managing partner in a wholesale dry
goods house, with Mr.. Elisha Riggs. at
Georgetown, D. G.. the latter furnishing the
capital. The next year the house was re-
moved to Baltimore and prospered, and in
1872, branch houses were established in
New York and Philadelphia la 1929, by
the retirement of Mr.. Riggs, MIR. Peabody
became the senior partner in the house, and
in 1887 be took up his permanent residence
in England, having previously visited that
country on private business, az well as to
transact .portant Negotiations entrusted
to him by the State of Maryland.
In 1843 Mr.. Peabody withdrew from the
dry goods business, and established himself
in London as a merchant and banker; his
house soon becoming the headquarters of.
Americans in Lond IN, and the centre of
American news and intelligence

native town in Danvers, was a check for

uted $4,000 to the first Grinnell expedition
to the Arfic Ocean, and in 1861 gave
$500, 900 to found a scientific and Literary
institute at Baltimore. with pledge to in
crease this sum to $500, 900.
His largest and most notable donations,
however, have been made to the poor OF the
city where the most Of his fortune has
been made. They amount in al! to $3.50
600 sterling-a gift SO magnificent az TO
have lately received the especial acknowl-
edgemens OF Queen Victoria, IN letter
which we published few days since
This unprecedented donation was not the
display Of an ostentatious and unexception-
able liberality, but was so much in harmony
with Mr.. Peabody's known generosity Of
character, as TO deserve the universal com
mendation it received

years Of age, has, We trust, yet before him

Mr. CYRUS w. FIELD returned from
England last week, in the Persia, after hav
ing launched another great expedition to
lay the Atlantic Telegraph cable. This is
his thirty-sixth voyage across the ocean on
this enterprise, to which he has devoted the
last twelve years of his life. Such indom-
liable perseverance deserves success, and
we trust will command it. All preparations
are going forward with the greatest rapid
ity. They are manufacturing over hum
bred miles of cable a week. Mr.. Field re-
mains here but six weeks, and returns 10
England to join the Great Eastern, which is
expected to sail the last Of June. All con-
nected with the former expedition feel sure
of success this time. They hope to have

1t may well be cause of congratulation
to every American, that in only one year
after the close of a disastrous and terribly
costly war, the Committee of Ways and

fifth Of our national taxes, considering the
reduction fully justified by the state of the

THE EMPEROR AND THE United
STATES.

What are they worth? Is it willy diploma
cy or honest, open friendliness to the United
States, and concession of the futility Of an
enterprise which the suppression Of the slave
holders rebellion made impossible Of sue
cess2 We mean the utterances of the Emper-
or to the French Chambers, when, at its re-
cent opening, he said:
You have shared with me the general indig-
nation produced by the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln; and recently the death of the
King of the Belgians has caused unanimous
regrets.
In Mexico, the Government founded by the
will Of the people is being consolidated. The
opposition, conquered and dispersed, have no
longer a chief, the national troops have dis
played valor. and the country has found guar
antees Of order and security which have de-
veloped the resources and raised its commerce
with France alone from twenty one to seven
ty.seven millions. As expressed the hope
last year that our expedition was approaching
its termination, am coming to under
standing with the Emperor Maximilian to FIX
the epoch for the recall Of our troops before
their return is effectuated, without compro-
missing the French interests which we have
been defending in that remote country.
North America, issuing victoriously from a
formidable struggle, has re-establshed the
Union and solemnly proclaimed the abolition
of slavery. France, which forgets no noble
page OF her history, offers up sincere wishes
for the prosperity of the great American Re-
public, and for the maintenance of amleable
relations, which soon will have century 6
duration. The emotion produced IN the
United States by the presence of our troops
on the Mexican soil will be paci6ed by the
frankness of our declarations. The American
people will comprehend that our expedition,
to which We invited them, was not opposed to
their interests Two nations equally jealous
Of their independence ought TO avoid every
step which might affect their dignity and their
honor.
Is that Napoleonic strategy or manly frank
ness? Is it the counterpart Of the formal de
malls that emanated from the same source,
concerning having no designs on Nice and
Savoy, made after the ratification Of the Sc
cret treaty OF Plombieres bywhich these coun-
tries were ceded TO France, or is it an &C
knowledgemeh ht that he prefers the friend
ship of the United States to further efforts te
extend his Latin policy to the United
States? We will see that we shall see. L
there is a peaceable solution of the Mexican
question it will rebound much to the sagacity
of Mr.. SEwARb as diplomatist and a states
man, and comport we'll with the condition and
welfare of our people. If NAPOLEON $ words
be but princes promises, then the future vii
develop it, and we will be better prepared fo
strife, if strife comes than at this present. Ii
any event we can afford to wait.
