g. Yankee enterprise makes itself felt in
south America as well as at home. The
latest triumph is the completion of rail
road from Arequipa to Molendo, Peru,

by the Peruvian government This is not
only great triumph of American engineer
ing, but will tend to develop the resources
of Peru and the trade between that country
and the United States. We have no cause
for jealousy of the growth of our republican
neighb0rs, for every step in advance which
they make is Of direct benefit to us.

The Washington special of the New Yorl
Tribune saws:

A gentleman from Columbus, Ohio, re
ports that the members of the Ohio Demo
cratic Central Committee have considered
the statements, that if the vote of the late
convention had been correctly announced
Mr.. Ewing would have been the nominee
The committee took no formal action in the
matter, but the facts submitted were such
as to show. beyond question, that if correct
tallies had been kept, they would have
shown a majority for Ewing. 1t is under
stood that the friends of the latter did not
insist upon public action upon the matter
and that Mr.. McCook's friends assert that
Ewing will stump for the ticket, as an

American Watches.
Is the authorized General Agent. to VIII

Every man who has anything to do requires
a reliable timekeeper. A feeling of national
pride leads all to prefer an American watch
But local dealers have for several years DIS
couragcd their customers from buying them
and for this reason only: A larger profit could
be made on foreign matches, and 1te frequent
repairs such tcdtches required a steady
source Of income TO the matchmaker. Wal
than watches have year by year grown into
favor with all who have worn them; they
have proved not only reliable but economical.
as repairs are seldom needed. They, like 9th
er standard articles, are sold at moderate
prices, which afford the retailer but small
profit compared with that which can be made
on other watches. But they require no urging.
They sell themselves. Hence, wide-awake
dealers make this up by keeping full stock
and selling larger number. Many dealers
now divert their customers from the Waltham
to other inferior watches, and. by disparaging
the Waltham and recommending these com
paratively unknown watches, they sell them
for a higher price, and thus secure a larger
profit. We understand that Waltham watches
are furnished to the retailer at prices which
will enable him to cell them cheap and vet
make fair profit. Therefore, all intending
TO purchase, and who prefer an American
watch, should insist on having their prefer
ences respected.

The China Trade.

1t is stated that by the opening of
the Pacific Railroad, the importation
of teas destined for the Atlantic ports
will be attracted TO San Francisco
Thus the freight from China to San
Francisco on pound of tea is one
cent, and thence to New York three and
one-half cents-making four and half
cents for the entire distance. The
freight via the Cape of Good Hope to
New York is two cents pound-but
three months additional time will be
required for the transportion. Consider
ing the tea to he worth 81 pound, the
interest on this value for three months
at eight per cent. per annum will
amount to two cents, and the additional
insurance VIII amount to one and one
half cents, SO that the expenses are
brought up to one and half cents-or
one cent over the charges on the San
Francisco route. This calculation has
lately appeared in the newspapers
but it must be observed that the adj
vantages of the San Francisco route
can only be obtained when high-priced
teas are concerned. On teas worth
fifty cents pound the freight and the
interest and the insurance for three
months would bring the expense by the
New York route up TO three cents and
three-quarters, being three-fourths of a
cent less than by the San Francisco
and Pacific Railroad routes.

Tricks Of ConiUrers- Risks they
Ran.

Robert Houdin used 20 say that If
the public knew what passes through
the mind OF conjurer when he sees
the barrel of a pistol turned toward
him in the course OF a ''fire-arm trick, =
they would perhaps give him credit for
as much nerve and courage as the
bravest soldier shows in battle An
omission III some trifiing point, the
breaking of OF small part of the false
ramrod, or of the real bullet as 1t Is
being withdrawn, may make the dis
charge fatal
Often, too. the trick is q new one,
and some mIscalculation may make the
plan a failure where failure NAV mean
death. An unfortunate event which
took place in the Cirque Napoleon. at
Paris, strikingly illustrates Houdin' S
words DIR. Upstein, the conjurer, had
offered gun to spectator, With direc-
tions to take good aim at the doctor,
who was TO receive the discharge on the
point of "A sword. The man refused.
but another fired off the gun as directed.
The moment after the doctor fell to the
ground seriously wounded. 1t was
found that piece of the ramrOd had
broken off IN the barrel, and this, fired
off at So close q range, had penetrated
the coniurer's right lung.
A circumstance In Houdin' life shows
how daringly the conjurers who amuse
us will often play with danger, depend
ing on their ready fingers to secure
their safety. He had performed some
startling firearm tricks before party OF
Arabians, making use, of course, of the
ordinary form of conjuring pistol,
which is so contrived that the ramrcd
withdraws the bullet While the rest
of the party were expressing their adj
miration, crafty old Marabout. who
had some suspicion of the true nature
of the trick, said, THE stranger is
doubtless a strong magician; will he
suffer me to fire at him with my own
pistols I" "Yes, said Houdin, unhesi-
tatingly, "but first L must make invo-
cation to those who assist me-
The next day he met the same party,
and offered saucerful of bullets to the
inspection of til, Marabout. Satisfied
that they were lead-as indeed they
were-the Arab handed his pistols to
Houdin, who loaded them, using the
Arabs ramrod. His own friends were
IN terror, and even his wife, well as she
knew his skill, was IN perplexity when
she saw him hand back TO the Arab one
of the loaded pistols.
Now fire, he said.
The Arab did SO, and Houdin was
seen with the bullet between his teeth.
"Bab,' he said, seizing the other
pistol, "you cannot use your own
weapons See here. You have been
unable to draw blood from my flesh.
and viii draw blood from yonder
wall.
He aimed at the wall, fired, and i'm
medIately stain of blood was seen.
The Marquis went up 70 the wall, and
when he had dipped his finger Ia the
blood, which was trickling down, his
awe and amazement were so great that
ms features assumed CHASTITY hue
Yet the trick was simple enough, two
prepared bullets having been skillfully
substituted by Houdin for the leaden
bullets he took from the saucer. But
the experiment was quite new, and
Houdin tells us that he trembled and
could scarcely control his terror az he
saw the Marabout drawing the trigger
of the pistol.
