A Railroad Watch

A Railroad Watch
Travellers by Railroad frequently find their
Watches completely demoralized by the continu-
GUS jar of the train. To overcome this difficulty
has long been a problem with watchmakers, and
il is now successfully accomplished in the new
grade made by the
American Watch Co. Of Waltham.
This Watch la made In the most substantial
manner, on the most approved principles, and
combines all the recent improvements. 1t has q
new micrometrical regulator, by which the
slightest variation can be easily corrected. 1t is
carefully adjusted, and may be entirely relied on
to run accurately, wear well, and
Endure the Hardest Usage,
without any arrangement whatever. We conf
IDENTIFY recommend this Watch to the trade and
the public, as the
BEST WATCH FOR THE PRICE IN THE
MARKET.
The Superintendent of one of the Nevada
mines, writes that
Your (wALTHAM Watches are the
only ones that will stand the shock OF
blasting. We have In this mime both

can watches, but the WALTHAM

III. Oldest Hor..la the World.

Twenty-Five years ago last Spring a
horse was brought from Vermont to
Boston for sale. being then eleven or
twelve years old. Strange as 1t may
appear, that horse Is still living. and
Is now forty or forty-ons years y age.
He was purchased at that time BY the
late Cyrus Reed. OF Lexington, and Is
now owned by his son John Reed, ono
mile from the Lexington depot. Not
withstanding Ills great age, ne has
been most wonderfully preserved, and
Is able to perform light work: and Is
often seen on the road, working as
faithfully as he did . quarter Of n cen
fury ago. He was fortunate to have
been born In an age when speed was
not the only requisite for q good horse,
otherwise bis bones might long since
have been mingllng with the dust ;
but no bids fair to live several years
longer. 10 stand before this yenera-
BILE old horse and to ponder upon the
events he has passed through, and to
realize that he Is the only survivor OF
all the horses born In 1888. makes us
feel like paying respect to his old age,
and like calling upon the society with
a long name to secure him against all
labor In the future.-OW Dumb Ant

Darinu Feats Of an Aeronaut.

Correspondence OF the Chicago Journal.
BELorr, Wis, Sept. l.-Mr. II. A.
Palmer, the aeronaut, gavo q hne exhi.
bition to a large audience at the Beloit
Driving Park on last Friday. Tho day
was clear and calm, and his large bal
loon rose In almost a direct line. Mr..
Palmer had no basket, nor was he tied
or secured to tho trapeze or rings. on
which he performed his hazardous
feats. The balloon being inflated and
held down by twenty men. the aeron-
aut seated himself on the trapeze-bar,
and cried, "let 60 everybody" when
the balloon went up like q shot. AT
the height Of 1000 feet, Palmer let
20 Of the ropes, and falling backward,
hung by his toes to the bar ; his toes
slipped from the bar, and as he
dropped his hands caught the two
rings which were suspended eight feet
below the trapeze; his feet swung
downward, and he was seen hanging
by n baud to a ring, waving his
handkerchief to the wondering mortals
below. This feat has never before
been attempted, and Palmer performed
IL here for the first time. His daring
and skillful performances, which were
continued until the balloon began to
descend, were brilliant and thrilling.
Mr.. Palmer Is about 20 years old, and
has made more than 100 balloon ascen.
sions. He understands and attends to
his business. and Is undoubtedly the
most daring aerial gymnast In the
world.

duce q genuine marriage certificate. II
this proposition does not warm up our

A DAsTARpLY OUTRAGE.

The following dispatch from Elko
we print without comment, further
than to say, that II Elko county Inns
officials capable OF doing the acts Of
which they are suspected, n coat Of tar
and feathers and a stout rope are none
too good for them. Such means Of
thwarting popular desire are Infamous
and those who lend themselves to such
tricks deserve level punishment:
Some weeks since petitions were put
In circulation throughout this county
calling upon tho Board Of County
Commissioners to take immediate and
decisive measures to compel the Gem
trail Pacific Railroad Company 10 pay
their just proportion Of taxation. and
dsnouncing the corporation, as now
managed, as being dangerous to all
American institutions, polite and ed
ucatlonai. The petitions have met
with universal approval, nine-tenths
Of the entire taxpayers having signed
them. Yesterday, however, the pro-
jectors were highly indignant on the
discovery that parties In the interest
OF the railroad company had stolen
the petitions In this and other towns
along the road, many Of which con-
tained upwards Of a hundred signa-
lures. Strong suspicion Is attached to
. number Of county official, holding
annual passes over the road, and
known to be Identified In furthering
the interest Of the railroad company.

GENERAL rrxxrs.

TnH bond for $l5, 500. 900. the amount
Of the Geneva award, Is held BY the
Of State In that department,
and Is now placed for safe keeping in
the Treasury. The bond Is made pay
able to the order OF the Secretary Of
State. This bond Is tor the largest
amount Of money ever issued BY any
Government In q single transaction.
Photographs Of the bond and certifi-
cate Of deposite were completed at the
Treasury Department yesterday, and
copies sent to the President and each
member Of the Cabinet. On the CON-
pletion Of the business on Tuesday,
Sir Edward Thornton promptly In
formed his Government by telegraph
of the fact.
ANOTHER Congressional conscience
fund contributor comes to the front.
Senator Ramsay Of Minnesota, has just
obeyed the wishes Of his people and
followed In the evident current Of
public opinion by returning his back
pay to the Treasury. The Honorable
gentleman voted three times for the
bill, twice against It and after its pas
sage, took his portion Of the money.
The agitation Of the back pay question
must at least be considered as pecunia-
rily profitable to the Government.
We expect to see the receipts Of this
fund largely augmented during the
coming Fall campaign in Ohio, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. 1T is
never too late to mend"
A SACRAMENTO. CAL, dispatch says
that last Wednesday Occident made a
half mile In 1861. and was afterward
driven a mile In 2:l7. being within a
quarter Of a second Of Goldsmith
Maids best time. His numerous back
ers In his race with the Maid last year
had rather see than believe such sto-
ries OF his trotting. The modesty of
this horse is remarkable. His aristo-
cratic blood demands select audiences
before whom to exhibit his talent. lie
Is bashful, very.
The telegraph says that a duel DO.
tween uerschel v. johnson and Gov,
Smith OF Georgia, Is Imminent. the
origin OF which was that the latter
promised to appoint johnson to n seal
on the Supreme Bench Of Georgia and
didn't do 1t, but appointed another
chiv. II somebody will hold Smith, In
our opinion johnson can hold himself.

A Southern Tragedy.

The Opelousas [La.) Journal Of Au-
gust 18th, Is responsible for tho fol-
lowing:
Down In the parish Of St. Martin,
an old widow lady, whose children
had all married off and left her alone,
had been persuaded to sell her little
place and live with them. She sold
Ter land, buildings and improvements
one day for $4,000, and received the
money In cash on the spot, In her W
house, where the act of sale was pass
ed before two witnesses, the number
required by law. and who witnessed
also the paying Of the money. In a
short time she was to give possession,
but che remained In the house the
night following the sale, all alone, or
with no masculine adult inmates, rs
was her custom. That night two ne
gro burglars broke into the house and
demanded her money or her life. She
gave it to them. but begged them to
let her have 800 Of 1t, as she owed
that amount, and wanted to pay the
debt, when she would DO satisfied.
They finally consented to let her keep
the 800. They then ordered her to
make some coffee for them to drink.
Ia doing so, she bethought herself Of
some ~strychnIns she had In the house,
and quietly dropped 1t In the pot OF
steamlng coffee, and placed It on the
table with cups, spoons and sugar for
them to pour out and sweeten to their
taste. This they did, and drank In a
jolly mood, each mi having $3.50 In
his pocket. But In q few minutes the
tables were turned. One gave up the
ghost where he sat at the table In his
chair and the other got up, staggered
of . few feet and tumbled over Into
eternity. The good old lady recovered
her money, aud on examining the per-
sons Of the black. burglarlous robbers,
they turned out to be the two wilt
nesses to the act Of sale, both white
men blackened for the occasion-both
her neighbors, and one was her cousin.

Republican Devotion to the Country.


The Republican party. by their
prompt and incorporating condem-
nation OF the Credit Mobiller and the
back salary grab, denouncing every
person connected with either, and con-
signing them to deserved obscurlty,
has commended itself to the people
and insured their confidence aud sup
port. The Democrats have not failed
to observe the advantage which the
Republicans are gaining over them by
this evidence Of devotion to the best
interests of the country, and they
have been compelled to join IN the gen.
eral condemnation OF evil-doers. 1t
has been q hard thing tor the leaders
of that party to do, but IL was their
only hope. and they have followed the
lead Of the Republicans In most local
ties.-Toledo Blade.

A barrel Is filled half full Of water.

surface, and over this q layer Of corn
meal Is sifted. A chair and a box or
two are placed unobtruslvely In the
neighborhood, whereby the rat gains
the edge Of the barrel. He sect moth
Ing but the meal. He has no Innate

treacherous foundation on which that
tempting surface rests. lie shifts, he
leaps, and goes gently down through
meal and cork to his watery grave. II

from the edge Of the barrel, they has
ten after him to get their share Of the

seems effective as against the rats, but
Is calculated to destroy their conf

Who Wrote ~

Governor Booths letter to FELTON,
leads the Nevada Tribune to believe
that Booth wrote tho address delivered
BY Senator Jones before the Nevada
Legislature mt the time OF his election
to the United States Senate. Prob
ably the Tribune Is correct In It's sur
misses, as 1t Is tolerabiy evident that j.
P. Jones never conceived the Ideas
therein embodied. LIE could not pos
sibly have written It, and 10 fact 1t re:
quired a strong mixture Of brandy and
etfrontery to enable him to read II
and publicly deny, what nearly half
the electors of the State knew to be
true, that he had spent money for the
purchase Of votes last November.
Whoever It was that wrote that ad-
dress. Its delivery BY Jones led many
people resident In this county, who
received hls gold notes on election
day, to believe that Senator j. P.
Jones was sadly deficient In one Of the
traits exhibited ut an carly age BY
Washington.-SHrer State.

A BOOMERANG.

The Democrats Of Maine recently
made fools Of themselves after the fol-
lowing fashion. They resolved "That
every department Of the Government
being in the hands Of the Republican
party, they are justly responsible for
the evils and wrongs In legislation
and administration Of which the coun-
try complains" While w ~cheerfully
accord to the Intelligent Democracy Of
that far Northern State the credit Of
candor, not to say cheek, the doctrine
If true with regard to the Republican
Is equally applicable to the Dem
ocratic party. That Is, II q party In
power Is responsible for "the evils
and wrongs In legislation" etc., the
Democrats In 1850 were responsible
for the situation at that time. Every
department Of the Government" was
In the hands Of the Democrats when
the rebellion occurred. The Govern
ment Of every State which seeded or
attempted 30 to do "A without a
single exception Democratic. Now
let the Maine Democratic doctrine be
applied. Can Democrats stand the
logical deductions, viz: that their
party was responsible for the wrongs
and evils which followed? We do
not think they will 20 so far, for we
have heard repeated and persistent de-
mails Of that party's responsibility for
secession and the war which resulted.
Ever since Mcclellan was q candidate
for President they have paraded their
Democratic Generals, Blair, McClel-
Ian, Hooker and others, to the front,
and pointed them out as proofs Of the
innate patriotism Of the Democratic
party /; but not a word about the thou
sands OF Democratic officers, civil and
military who fought against the Union,
and In whose power Il was In 1850 to
have prevented the war. The Maine
doctrine would prove, In Its applica-
ton, peculiarly disastrous to DEM
ocracy. II the people desire to indict
the Republican party on substantial
grounds, let them do so, but 1t would
DO far better for tho Democratic party
to say but little about responsibility,
etc. 1t Is as natural, however, as the
law Of gravity for that party to make
such blunders. Its leaders have for
eight years past been trying to resolve
treason Into patriotism and themselves
into power, and to prove that the men
who We're for the Union when It was
imperilled are less trustworthy than
those who sought its overthrow and
wrought for Its destruction. This In
stance is but one Of numbers which
show the ~lnsincerity Of that organlzs-
ton. The Democracy are, In short,
and by their own resolution "iustly
responsible for the evils and wrongs
In legislation" Of which they so griev-
ously complain. Their resolution Is a
boomerang.

How matters stand between the
farmers and manufacturers Is illustra-
ted as follows BY the Paris, ILL.,, Ga
zette:
"A farmer dropped into a grocery
store In this city a few days since. and
the grocer was showing him some
canned corn. which lie said was very
nlce-equal to the fresh corn. How
DO you sell it,? 'Thlrty-five cents a
can Lets see,' says the farmer ;
there's about q pint In that can.
T~hirty-five cents u pint for your corn.
That will take about 4 bushel and a
half Of my corn to buy pint Of yours.
I guess | won't invest.
The farmer may have been wise In
not choosing to Invest, but he had no
right to find fault with the grocer, be-
cause the latter no doubt only charged
n reasonable profit. lie had to bring
the canned sweet corn all the way from
Maine.
