Women watoh-Makers.

Miss Emily Faithful says that the
great EHglish matchmaker, Bennett, Of
Cheapside, (late sheriff of London has
for years urged on public platforms the
employment of women as watchmakers,
but he has never yeutured to take prac-
teal step toward breaking down the bar
riers which EXCLUDE his countrywomen
from this desirable occupation. Year
after year he has sent thousnnds of
pounds TO Switzerland for work which
he might have obtained from suffering
English women, had he cared to put his
convict ons to the test. In the course of
Miss Faithfull's inquiries respecting
American industries, she has therefore
been peculiarly interested in the develop
ment of the matchmaking trade in its
relation to women, and speaks in the
highest terms of the way IN which the
National Watch Company Factory at
Z gin is conducted.
| Three hundred women and girls are
employed in it, tending the machines for
cutting pnions, screws and wheels, maxi
ing hair springs, setting jewels, &c, &c.
A well-kuoWn supporter of wonen's
rights told her not long since that she
bought Il watch at Geneva four years
before her little girl was old enough "

We have found It the best way to cut
such crop rather early-say towards
the end Of August or the first Of
September, while the sun is still hot and
drying, because 1t is very much easier to
cure Il than later, after the Fall rains set
in. Farmers are often rather careless
in the treatment Of this crop, letting II
lie on the ground to get covered with
dust and greatly injured by such exposure.
It is a great deal better TO get Il out upon
the grass at least, and If possible to lay
or hang It up on rails, or to stock 1t and
let II stand out a while. If stocked up
properly, 1t will shed the rain well and
will come out tolerably fresh and sweet
1t makes good Winter feed for store cattle
and ether stock IL properly cured. A
far greater breadth has been cultivated
this year than We have ever known be-
fore indeed, almost every farmer has
sown a good piece Of it, so that the guam
tity will Ne very great.-hdss. Ploughmdn.

A murderer was detected In very re-
markable manner, in Missouri, recently.
At Coldwater, in that State, a man named
Caldwell, murdered his employer, john
son, robbed him of $1,000, and escaped,
leaving no trace behind. A few DAYS
ago, a DR.. Richie, living at Phyatala,
several miles from Codwatcr, had been
drinking freely, and was in a jocular
manner accusing every one of having
committed the murder. Finally he met
a stranger, and being just tipsy enough
not TO care what he said, addressed the
stranger in the same manner; Eyes
you-you are the man who murdered
johnson at Coldwater." A look Of guilt
Overspread the mans face, and simultR-
neously he ran his hand in his bosom as
If to draw a weapon.
DR.. Richie collared him with his left
hand, and with his right drew a dirk
from his pocket, and told him If he at
tempted to draw a weapon he would
plunge that knife to his heart in a second.
He then commanded the man to with
draw his hand which wac speedily obeyed,
when, instead of weapon, be drew Out
the sum of Sll00, which be dropped OF
the ground at his feet. Meanwhile a
crowd had gathered around the doctor
and his prisoner, and the evidence of the
mans guilt was by this time so palpable
that he was placed under arrest. The
man thus arrested has since proved to be
/ Caldwell, and he has confessed both the
murder and the robbery.
