ANERIcAN MANUFAcTUREs-THE AMERICAN
WATCH Co. OF WALTHAM, MAss.-Every
enc knows that the mechanism of the best
manufactures of this country is unequalled
in any other part of the world. The genius
of American mechanics produced the cotton
gin, the mechanical reaper and sower. 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 pro-
portions which entitle it to first rank among
the manufacturing enterprises of the New
World. 1t employs between 900 and 1000
artisans of superior skill and character, and
large and thriving town has grown up in
its 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 go miles of iron pipes, and
produces an aggregate of nearly $4,000
watches per annum. The founders of this
Company believed that the same delicate me-
chanical processes which had produced such
remarkably perfect results in larger machines
might be applied with even greater advant-
age 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, these mys-
terious and infinitesimal organs which, when
aggregated, produce the watch. are the fruit
Of slow and toilsome manual processes. In
the results, there must of course be lack Of
that perfect uniformity which is indispensable
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. cir
cumference. dimensions, and in every posi-
BILE particular, are turned out in myriads by
unerring fingers of steel, and their proper
combination and adjustment by skilful
workmen have given the Company its high
reputation. Its watches not only go with
the trade and go in the pockets of 100000
people, but they go right and go everywhere.

SIGNIFICANT SPEECH FROM NAPoIEoN.-The

at Auxerre. to which is attributed the cause
for the financial panic in England and Eu-
rope:

first Empire has not been effaced from your
minds. Believe me, for my own part have
inherited the feelings entertained by the
chief Of my family for this energetic and pat
riotic population who sustained the Emperor
in good as in evil fortune. have debt of
gratitude to discharge toward you This
Department was the first to give me its suf-
frages in l84S, because it knew, with the ma
jority of the French people, that it's interests
were my interests, and that detested equal

it is now sought to make the sole basis of our
foreign policy. l thank you for the senti-
ments you have expressed toward me- Among

several weeks, was much surprised to flnd
that many of my neighbors who had pre-

while seated alone in my quiet little home.
Not being in the enjoyment of good health.
and rather scantily supplied with what has
been termed by many as filthy lucre." the
cold cuts were felt rather severely. At length
one of my own sex who possessed, as well as
professed feeling of deep, and-I have reas-
on to believe-lasting friendship, came to me
with the "balm of Gilead" upon her tongue,
that all-healing salve-truth-upo her lips,
and relieved my heat of that suspense which
had weighed so heavily upon my spirits for
many days. The whole secret was, was

programme for the occasion:
After the usual secret business transactions
of the Order have been disposed of, the pro-
cession will form at about s o'clock P. NJ,
in front of their Hall. in full rcgalia.
All members in good standing are request
ed to be mounted on fiery steeds. The pro-
cession will then march through the princi-
pal streets, headed by No. l brass band,

GERS of the Lodge and adjoining Lodges
Next all members in good standing, all of
whom will march two abreast, with the ex-
ception of the Officer from Mokelumne Hill,
who will ride SOLITARY and alone.'
The D. F. D. K. is hereby appointed to
act as Grand Marshal, with full power to
supply q sufficient number of torches for the
occasion.
The procession will move at the tap of the
drum, the band playing that sweet and ia
vorite air, whose music has fallen in tones of
softest melody on every members. ear
Amt you mighty glad" etc. After which
they will render that same old tune, "Who's
pen here sinsh Use pen gone," in style that
will make the mountains echo and re-echo.

Satisfactory"
1t is but few years since the Lodge, in
our town. of this Ancient and Noble Order,
whose only object is the alienation of human
suffering, boasted more members, and was
in more fourishing condition than any
other in the State. But of late years the
gentlemen to whom were entrusted the po-
sitions of homer and trust IN the Lodge, have
been direlict in their duty, have neglected to
call the members together as often as the law
directs, and have permitted the regalia to be
lost or scattered among other Lodges, and,
as natural consequence, the members have
become careless in the observance of those
sacred duties which are imposed upon them
by this most Benifcent Order. The solemn
and imposing ceremonies of initiation leave
a lasting impression upon the minds of all
those whose moral character has stood the
seven tests which all applicants for admission
to its sacred portals are subjected before they
can be received into full membership. Why
does not the G. R. R. J. A. G. Summon the
Lodge?
