TuEreason of the superiority OF the watches
made In this country by machinery over the
foreign watches made by hand, Is selfevident.
IL is an impossibllity that tho hand should be
controlled and guided with the eXaotness OF a
machine. In Europe the different parts of a
watch are made by different persons, perhaps
hundred miles apart. One whole family,
father, mother and children, are all engaged In
the process OF making one ofthe Ave wheels Of
u watch ; another family mako dnothsr wheel,
and SO on These different parts are purchased
by the Watch-makors, and the watch Is put
together and made ready for the market Per.
haps Il is sent TO this country, and amer being
sold, q part becomes broken, and the watch is
useless. II can be taken TO a Watch maker,
aud he can make bg hand q new piece, but the
cost of repairing will be great, and whore the
parts have passed through SO many different
hands in their construction and repair, II viii

ming Of a watch.
In contrast TO this crude and dlsorganlEed
system Of manufacturing, the mind turns with
relief to the method We have adopted In this
country, as developed At the factory ofthe Ma
tional Watch Company, at Elgin, III. An Inn
mense building Is erected, 4 corps OF the finest
mechanics that can be obtained Is employed.
A superintendent Of unrivalled inventive
genius Is placed in charge. Machines are then
Invented and constructed for the manufacture
Of every plate, wheel, pinion and screw used
In watch. The different parts OF tho factory
are filled up with these machines. Men and
girls are employed TO operate them. Tho
wheels, the pinions and the screws are turned
out by thousands, every part erdcily alike,
These are brought together, under the same
roof made into complete watches, and sent
out into the market, IL after purchase, a
wheel breaks, the dealer has but TO send TO the
factory and purchase It's duplicate, and the
watch Is as good as new. Surely this brief
comparison Is sufficient to convince any re-
hecting person ofthe superiority Of the Ameri.
can mechanical system. 1t Is superior In
theory and fact. The Elgin Watches are sell.

The beggars come to town."

On Friday there was another band Of
Virginia pilgrims begging for help from the
Baltimore City Council. These pilgrimages
are periodical. The petitioners are very
earnest, and right royalty do the very
thrifty burghere of the flourishing city re-
ceive the supplicants. Now it is to build
the Lynchburg and Danville railroad; anon
we shall have some other great under
taking which will be pressed by poor Vir-
ginians upon the enterprising and noble
city of Baltimore on the ground that it is
to pour all the wealth of Virginia and the
South into that city. Hope tells fiatter-
ing tale. Well, Baltimore is keen enough,
and no doubt sees that there is some end to
the extensions that are 30 interesting to her
az to Justify the voting Of few millions to
them. She has no guarantee that the pas
sengers by Danville will any more belong
to her than to Philadelphia and New. York.
