The WATCH -" Watch is from Saxon
word signifying to wake At first the
watch was as large as a saucer it had weights,
snd was called C the pocket clock" The ear
lest known use of the modern name occurs in a
record Of 1872, which mentions that Edward
vi, had g one larrum or watch of iron, the case
being likewise Of iron gilt, with two plummettes.
OF lead The first great improvement, the
Substitution Of the spring for weights. was about
l55O. The eGrliesf springs were not coiled, but
only straight pieces Of steel. Early watches had
only one hand, and required winding twice
day. The dials were of silver, or brass the
cases had crystals, but opened at the back and
front, and were four or five inches in diameter.
A plain watch cost the equivalent Of 81 500 in
our currency, and after one was ordered i: took
year TO make it. There is a watch in Swiss
museum only three-sixieenths of an inch in dis
meter, inserted in the top of pencil case. Its
little dial indicates not only hours. minutes and
seconds, but also days of the month. Il is
relic of the old times, when watches we're in
serted in saddles, snuff boxes, shirt studs. breast
pins, bracelets and fnger-rings Many were
fantastic-oyal, octangulsr, cruciform, or in the
shape of pears, melons, tulips, or coffins.

REBELLION STILL RAMPANT IN The roUTu.

While these tricks are played upon us here,
the mass of the democratic voters in the South
are waiting and watching, not " over the Dor
der, but IN the heart of cur country, to restore
the Lost Cause, D." and to upset all that we have
gained the last ten years. 1t is only necessary
to read the democratic journals, both in Ohio
and in other States, to show that this "New De-
parure " is only to shield themselves behind
some jugglery about the construction Of the
amendments and the mode of thoir enforcement.
The essential notifications made in the corfyen-
ton Of the Dsyton resolutions gives color to this
idea, and the whole as they stand in the platform
lock like bad mixing Of opposing ideas They
feel that the public voice demanded that these
amendments mus. be ratified and indorsed by
their party, and yet they did not want to DO il.
They did it with an ''if and a damn, !" and a
" slap with several loop-holes of escape, with
many antIdotes, and in bad temper generally.
The dose was Objectionable to many, but they
took it, and have not felt well since, and now
nothing could be more ludicrous in political
strategy, if it were not dangerous to trust the
democratic party with the enforcement Of these
amendments. Better give the lamb to the wolf
than either the blacks Of the South or the loyal
people of the South to the democratic party of
either the North or South.
