Al consequence Of sach . want Of systsm
In making the different pieces, there arc a.,
ways large quantities that ere iH9rs1erly
finished and imperfect. These imperfect
pieces are again slightly altered snd put to-
gether, and constitute reinforcement for the
oroide watch. These movements are placed
in briss cases manufactured for this very
purpose, costing about seventy-five cents
each, and exported to England and Ameri-
ca, where, II has been definitely settled, the
greatest number of fools. exist The French
Government win not admit them unless they
are truly and correctly described, and the
English Government places them under the
ban in - far - to prohibit the use of genu-
inc names or trade marks but, like our
own Government, It reaps profit from their
importation and sale. These ore the ia.
nous oroide watches. They are worth, &C.
cording to some Of the largest genuine
practical dealer and Matchmaker inrthis
city, from 81 50 70 q each. The very best
quality cost but t55 . dozen. They sell in
the bogus stores from % to $25 each.
Some Of these watches are advcrtbed -
full jewclled, adjusted to heat and cold !"
Of course no one but fool would suppose
that watch could be adjusted for much
less than the sum demanded, 81, 80 and
$25. Then again, the bogus dealers spell
|'Waltl,am Waldhdm, or change the name of

never at = loss In the willy use Of their

that the safest way to buy "oroides" Is 10

II the highest story Of ,TsyaotS Hotel. In
Jersey City, was broken open BY the, bill
collector when lie found that no answer
wss made from wiaAin u H. -eaalss asd-shs
lifcless body of one of the Oldest boaIders
in thchouse wss found sitting upright n .
chair before the table. The man was very
old, and had been for years subject to dis
case, and the discovery that he had At last
died alone and without warning. though q
matter of surprise snd regret, did not cause
suspicion. For five or six years the old man,
who dressed in tie roughess garments. had
been gliding silently from his garre! 10 the
dining room and back again to his retire
mcnt. What IFS occupation wss no one
knew, or seemed to care Only one person
was ever admitted to his room. This was
the chambermaid, who was admitted to ar.
range his room while he was at dinner:
When questioned, the girl replied always
that there was nothing remarkable In the
room, except the absence of anything to
make il comfortable. A few old coats,
coarse shirts. patched stockings, and patch.
cd boots there were, and two old trunks,
old and battered. There was one singular
circumstance connected with the mans life.
Though meanly clad, he was among the
promptest in paying his bills.
The old man was without friends, ana
during the six years Of his abode in the
house, no one came to see him. It WAS
known by the proprietor, however that he
had sister living in Groton, Conn. His
namc-Lyman ANsn-was known to none
but the proprietor and ok'kecper. What
were his antccedents his resources, Or his
occupation, no one could ascertain. ID
When he was found dead, the servants
were ordered to lay him out and watch by
the corpse until his friends, II he had any.
could bc called. This morning there came
"a sister, . brother-in. law. and two neph.
cws. They said he was born in Connect:
cut in 1903, aud had many years ago, been
a commission merchant in New York,
where he amassed o large fortune.~Whas
had become of it they did not know. They
soon learned where he kcpta part Of it,
however, for upon unlocking one Of the
trunks heap of bonds and stocks, gold and
currency, was found tumbled carelessly in.
An examination showed that there was
property in the room worth over $000, 900,
besides securities for large sums elsewhere.
A will was found among other papers, da-
ted fifteen years ago, bequcathing the entire
property to his sister and her children. =.
The evidences Of the old mans meanness
were plentiful in the narrow room, and the
sight Of his ragged garments, in, which he
clothed himself, brought tears TO the eyes
of his sister. The miser died - he had
lived, alone. -. IL a,.,r

Mr.. r. w. Raymond. Commissioner of
Mining Ststistics, has prepared summary
Of his annual report His principal work
during the past six months has been the
collection of Information regarding new
enterprises, and the condition and prospects
Of the industry in the different districts,
and statistics of production. The principal
mining and commercial centres Of Colorado,
Utsh, Nevada, California, Oregon and Ida
ho have been visited, and operations therein
carefully noted. a .. ....,.-.~'ses.bla y.'..as"
The Commissioner reports that the pro-
duct In California for the year vii! certain
ly fall below that Of last year, on account
of the extraordinary drought which put u,
end to the placer and hydraulic mining of
the northern counties very early in the sea-
son. Another temporary cause Of dccreased
production waS the st,ppage Of several i'm.
portant mines in the foremost quartz NIL
ming districts Of the STATE Grass Valley
on account Of the miners strike. ! In Nsyar
da the yield of the Comssock mines haa
been largely reduced this year by tho ex-
haustion Of various old workings upon
which some of the companies have been
relying. but especially BY the diaastsous fire
in the Crown Point, Kentuck and Yellow
Jacket, which hes interfered with the pro.
duction of those important mines. The
prospects Of this district for the future,
however, are considerably brighter thsn
they were aycar ago. .6.''. .ag+.an vi ". -4q

"Mack writes: John W. Forney has gone to North

raise and potatoes but really to raise the devil in
a small way among the reconstructed by running a
senatorial candidate against of the carpetbaggers
whose term of Office" soon expires. He will be a

izen of North Carolina. have never had great deal
of admiration for John w. but he is a man of talent
and ability, and, carpet bagger, would be sue
cess and great improvement on the average Of that
class of mscreants.
1t is worth while to mention, in this connection,
that the carpetbaggers from all the Southern States
becoming alarmed for the safety of their seats in
Congress. The field seems an inviting one to great
many, and hear of several contemplated emigrations
with an eye to congressional honors. " In nation of
blind men one-eyed man may be king" says Ros-
seau, when he tells how he, with very slight musical
atanments, found community where he could figure
as teacher of the divine art. So in community Of
carpet-baegers, man who elsewhere could not be
elected to city council may make great pretentions
to craftsmanship aud official fitness.

THE New ORLEANS New CHARTER. - John Ray,
Senator from Ouachita has introduced bill into the
Senate relative to a new charter for the city of New
Orleans which DISTINGUISHES its citizens and gives the
appointing of the municipal officers to the Governor
The Tribune the organ of the negroes, thus disposes
of Ray and his coconspraors to rob the citizens of
their rights:
Every good citizen of New Orleans whatever his
party proclivtes must depore the scheme presented
to State Senate by Mr.. Ray to confde to Gov,
Warnolh the appointment of the Mayor and six ad-
minstrators contemplated by the new city charter
Even were the Governor deserving the blind faith
that the bill ners such provision would be in vio-
lence of the primary republican principle that the
people Of New Orleans should not be precludcd from
