General Lafayetie's Watch.

1t is doubtless within the recollection Of many
in this city that in the year 1924 General I.afa
yctte made a tour of this country, attended by
such an ovation as offered perhaps the grand
est spectacle of nations tribute to hero the
world has ever seen. During his tour, while
on visit to some town in the State of Ten
nessee, the General was mysteriously robbed
Of his watch, a valued souvenir, which had
been presented to MIN lin l1Sl) by General
George Washington to commemorate at once
the atfectionate relations which had long exist
cd between them, and his gallant services at
the siege of Yorktown, the crowuiug event in
the struggle for American independence. Di.
rectly upon the robbery becoming known most
strenuous efforts were made tor its recovery,
but, despite the fact that the Governor Of Ten
ncSSee offered reward Of one thousand dol
lars for its return not the slightest trace Of it
was thereafter obtained, and General Lafayette
was eventually compelled to return to France,
resigned to the thought that the precious gift
of his dear friend was lost to him forever.
The years passed on, and with their lapse
mems recollection Of the circumstance faded
away. Lafayette died in 1884, and for space
Of forty eight years the stolen watch bore an
but a few days ago, gentleman residing in
auction sale at junk shop, where, strange to
relate, he found among the articles offered a
watch which, upon examination, he discovered
to be the long lost watch Of Lafayette
Suffice it to say that he eagerly purchased it,
and as quickly formed the resolution to trans
NIT it to the family of Gen. Lafayette, now re-
siding iu Paris pending which transmission,
however, the gentleman has brought it to his
home, and has consented to its exhibition for u
few days at L. A. Tyler's jewelry store, on
Canal street.
The watch is open-faced, of gold, with double
case, and may be remarked as Of a peculiar ap-
pcarance being Of only ordinary size, but near
Iy as thick as it is wide The outer case bears
upon its entire surface carved figures, in bas re-
lief, representing the picture of Mars offering
a crown to the Goddess of Peace, who is sur
rounded by her emblems while over all appear
the stern implements Of war; hung high out Of
reach. On the inner case appears the yet clear
ly lcgiblc inscription:

broad brimmed, low crowned hat, with an i'm
mcnse plume falling down on to the shoulder,
which was worn during the reign OF Charles
II. At the end of the seventeenth, and dur

by the omission of the plume, and by giving =
the brim various cocks. That these cocks
were formerly merely temporary, is shown y

was bent up 10 two or three places, and, not
withstanding that these cocks became per-
manent, vet the hats still retained the marks
of their origin in the button and strap on the

name from its being badge worn on one OF
the cocks.

an anomalous shape, proves, on examination,
to be merely hat of the shape above reterreu

Asw think of women, quiet and re-
firing, deyoting the talents and intellect
ual power conferred upon her by her
Maker to the welfare of the circle OF
friends Immediately about her, and COM
pare her lot to that of man, who In his
daily contact with the world becomes
acquainted with all kinds Of people and
makes human nature. his study, the first
thought would naturally be, how much
greater the inhence of man, great man,
the Lord of Creation, " than is woman's.
A domestic little being, created expressly
for his benefit. as some say. But let US
look fairly at the case.
The task is important, for it demands
some exercise of sober judgment to view
The subject
It is astonishing and humilating to
perceive how frequently human wisdom
is at fault as to results, while accident
prejudices, or common sense seems to
light upon truths which reason feels after
without finding. It's not to be supposed
that the perfection Of the conjugal char
acter is to consult husbands palate ard
submit to his i'll humor. All that is con-
tended for is, that the fundamental prin-
ciple is right. The greatest benefit which
women can confer upon society, is to be
what they ought to be in all theirdomes-
tic relations Let no woman fancy that
she can by any exertion or services com
pensate for the neglect of her own pecu-
liar duties as such. It is by no means
my intention to assert that women should
be Indifferent spectators Of the great po-
litieal questions Which affect the we'll be-
ing of community, neither can L repeat
| the old adage that women have aothine
to do with politics. They have, ano
ought to have much to do with politics
But in what way? By their endeavors
to instill into their relatives Of the Other
sex the uncompro missing cause Of duty
and selfdevotion which ought to be thei
ruling principle.
But women influence is not always O
this character. 1t was by her smiles tina
John the Baptist lost his head, and i
was for the same cause that Sampson
came to his untimely end.
Men may resist this subtle power, bu
it is only when there is some powerful
opposing infence to break the spell cas-
around them; remove that and they mus
at once surrender. x.
