children help the pastors wife in
the household work. The school
room is a garret in the parsonage,
the walls of which are hung with
large maps of Europe, Scandinavia
and the Holy Land, and diagrams
of mathematical figures, weights
and measures. There was also a
small collection of specimens of
natural objects, to enable the
teacher to explain the meaning of
their names in the school LESSONS;
and to show the children what a
cube was, there were a number of
squares of wood, which when laid
over the top Of one another formed
a cubic foot.
In addition the pastor had a
small orrery, representing the move
ments of the earth, and the moon,
and he told us that he succeeded
pretty well with the children in in
stilling the elementary doctrines of
astronomy into their minds, but
that he utterly failed to persuade
their parents that the earth was re-
volving round the sun. The school
was also attended by the children
in the neighborhood, and the pas
tor was evidently a man who took
great time with his work, and the
children rarely leave the school
without being able to read and
write, as well as to count, though in
after life few opportunities occur to
make use of this instruction. 1t is
evident that stationary schools
could not supply the want of a
thinly peopled country, and accord
ingly, for the benefit of the scat
tered settlers, circulating schools
have been established. A number
of teachers are sent out, who pass
from one settlers house to another
never staying more than three
months at one place-and teach all
the children who can be collected,
and for the time being form part of
the family.

Natchez (Miss.) Democrat.
We were yesterday shown copy
of one of Audubon's birds, made
by II gentleman, native of this
county. The copy is as perfect as
it is possible to make it, and exhib-
its high degree Of skill and tai
ent on the part of the copyist.
About the year 1897 or 1928 John
j. Audubon spent some time in this
vicinity, and taught drawing to the
immediate ancestors of the young
artist who is now copying with such
perfect fidelity the painting of the
great ornithologist. There are sew
eral Of his drawings still preserved
with religious care by the family in
which he was a guest. Audubon
used to travel through the country
on foot, sketching from nature the
specimens of rich-plumed birds
which abound in our section, and
specimens of his crayons are in the
hands of several families in Adams
county. The assistant editor of
the Democrat has a boyish but
vivid recollection of his personal
appearance and manner. When we
were some six or seven years old we
remember standing near the gate of
our paternal home one morning at
an early hour, when a strange look
ing individual approached and
asked if he could get a bowl of
milk and bread We took him into
the house, where our hospitable
mother soon prepared for him a
comfortable breakfast. While his
breakfast was being prepared he
took out his pencil and sheet of
drawing paper, and, placing us in
position, sketched a hasty likeness,
which was pronounced by all who
saw it to be perfect. On leaving he
gave the name Audubon, and, al
though his name had not acquired
the celebrity afterward attached to
it, the fidelity of the likeness Sc
cured the careful preservation of
the crayon until the worldwide
reputation of the artist gave to the
relic additional value. We care
fully preserved this picture until
the vandalism of the late war
caused it, together with a large
collection of valuable mementoes,
to be DESTROYED.

Wonderful Watches

In the Swiss Department at the
great exposition there are some very
pretty watches. | do not know as
they are any better than those Of.
fered by American manufacturers,
who have several extensive dis.
plays; but there are certain speci.
mems, exhibited by a Geneva firm,
which are unusually interesting in
their construction. The collection
is small, and not arranged in a
showcase of any size or elegance,
and for that reason, will probably
not attract SO much attention as
they deserve. Iwould like to men
ton one watch. 1t is very small,
and set in a fnger-ring, with a cir
clet of diamonds around the dial.
The works are wound up by turn
ing the circlet. The price of this
trinket is 1868.
Another is fashionable after the
same principle, only is set in a
small gold ball, to be used as a
charm. The two halves of the ball
are detached, and winding is ac-
complished by turning the back
half. An exceedingly neat pattern,
one has whose case is studded in
close rows with pearls, the inter
sticeS being set with diamonds.
This is worth $54O. On a yet
scale, is a lady's stem
winder-the whole watch being but
half an inch in diameter. 1t is
studded with diamonds. The in
fnitesimal is reached, however, in
a four-line watch, one-third of an
inch across, stem-winding, and
warranted to keep accurate time.
Its value is 81, 200.
In elegant watches of ordinary
size, l noticed one minute-repeater,
with chased gold case, having upon
its inner case a painting Of "Morn-
ing" after Greuze, by Glandon.
The price of the watch alone is
$500, while the picture is valued at
5000. There was also thousand
dollar watch, plain gold case, per-
petual calender, minute-repeater,
recording the phases
Of the moon, and telling whether
the hour denoted on the dial is
night or daytime. If there is any
thing more that a watch can do, l
suppose this watch will do it.
