American Manufactures,

Every one knows that the mechanism of
the best manufactures of this country is
uneqnalled in any other part of the world
The genius of American mechanics pr0duc
ed the cottongin, the mechanical reaper
and mower, the sewing machine, and last
hut not least. the wonderful machinery of
the American Watch Company of Waltham
This Company Was established in 1850 and
has grown in proportions which cntitle it to
Il first rank among the manufacturing enter
prizes of the New World. 1t employs be-
tween 900 and 1000 artizans of superior
skill and character. and il large and thriv-
ing town has grown up in its vicinity. The
factory covers over three acres of ground,
aud rs an illustration of it's extent, wcmay
mention that it is supplied with more than
TO miles Of iron pipes and produces an ag-
grcgate of nearly 75,OO0 watches per an
mum. The founders Of this Company be.
Irved that the same delicate mechanical
processes which had produced such remark
ably perfect results in larger machines,
might be applied with even greater advant-
age to the production of the watch.

pally by hand, and except wl%n of high

which is Indispensable for correct time

FOR LAWN.


FOR LAWN.
l have a dear little wife,
Who is all for lawn,
For lawn; ~sF
Nor silks nor satins will she wear,
And velvets she says she can't bear,
But it's sad to see one so fair
All for lawn, H.
For lawn.
iaIf I'm pretty, love-" says she,
"Why, then, adorn,
Why adorn.
ALI, if Others but only knew,
Of beauty the secret, like you,
How soon, my dear, would they, too,
Be for lawn, .
For lawn!"
"Let the ugly wear satins and silk,
Night and morn,
Night and morn,
For they'll then have something to show,
But as for myself, know
Just what Pm about when go
All for lawn,
For lawn"
And my charming little wife,
Yester-morn,
Yester-morn,
Tapped me gently on the chin,
And asked if thought her green
That she from the first had been
All for lawn,
For lawn.
V.
I answered her with kiss,
But I'll be sworn,
Be sworn,
For it leaked through her glistening
eyesO
That it's because my means suffice
For naught else, that she gayly cries,
I'm for lawn,
For lawn.

A SOUVENIR OF GENERAL SeoTT.-
Since the death of Lieutenant Gener-
al Scott public attention has been more
closely drawn to a souvenir. of him
which we have in the Capitol building.
1t is the famous life size equestrian por-
trait of the veteran hero which was Or
dered by the Commonwealth or Virgin
la in 1851, and which they refused to
accept when the General refused to be-
come a traitor for them. The painting
was executed by Edward Troye, a ma
tive of Switzerland, but resident of
Kentucky at the time, who was an, ar
tist,of considerable note. The General
sat for the picture at West point, select
ing Chapultepec for the scene, and sug-
gesting all the accessories of position,
&c. The fact that the artist was sue
cessful in pleasing the general with the
result of his labors is some proof of his
skill: The painting is the largest equ-
estrian portrait ever produced in this
country, and from the lamented soldiers
connection with its production it posses
ses now a sort of mournfuI interest to
many.

til the South isprosperous, so, on the other
extreme, healthy condition OF civil society
in the South is isindispensable to thewelfare
OF the freedmen.
Refusing TO admit loyal Senators and
Representatives from the South to Con-
gress will not help the freedmen. 1t will
not secure for them the vote. 1t will not
protect them. II will not secure any
amendment of our Constitution, however
just and wise. 1t will only increase the
dangers and complicate the difficulties.
Whether we regard the whole nation, or
any section of it or class I'm It, the first de-
mand of our time Is entire reunion!
Once united, we can. by schools, churches,
free press and increasing free speech, at
tack each evil andsecure every good.

a Hrute In Human shape.

Recently, a negro by the name of Jerry
Hearse, carpenter by trade, left one night
the place where he was at work, and went
some three miles to, the house OF Benjamin
Wise, In Prairie township in this county
Here he stealthily climbed up the side Of
the house and entered through aIwindow
into chamber occupied as sleeping
room by deaf end dumb and idiotic girl
eighteen years of age, named Emma Cook
The negro had q lot of candies with him
which, it seems, he had purchased the day
before, and used as means Of accomplish
ing his brutal design. He remained with
the girl during the night, and violated and
outraged her person. The facts becoming
known, he was arrested. and had a prelim-
mary examination before H. NJ. Albery, a
Justice of the Peace Of Jefferson township.
The Justice required him to give bail in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the next
term of the Court of Common Pleas. Fail
ing to give the bail required, he was sent to
the County jail, and on last Sunday, was
placed in charge Of Sheriff Domigan. We
learn that this brute Of a negro barely
escaped forfeiting his life to the avenging
hand of q relative Of the injured girl.
Doubtless, ii the facts as we have heard
them, are proved against him, his punish
ment will be, as It ought tobe, severe and
exemplary. ya,-,.,,....,.,,
