DR.. j. f. Grant is using all en-
deavors as stated last week to make
his collection Of Giles county fishes
complete before the meeting of the
Scientific Association in Nashville
in August. The u. S. Fish Com
missioner will be there and DIR.
Grant intends to prevail upon him
to stock our streams with shad, &C.,
as he has other streams in the State.
1t will be a great benefit to the
county, and to assist in this, DR..
Grant should be furnished with all
manner of fishes, so that he can ex-
hibit them there. He intends to
take his Reptile Cabinet there to
exhibit it. His is one of the very
few reptile collections that are com
plete. There is nothing to add to
it. His Mineral cabinet is also
very extensive and varied. He in
tends finally to present this to Mar
tin College, when arrangements can
be made for its reception. DIR.
Grant is a man of rare and varied
attachments in many branches of
science, and he very unselfishly uses
them in the interest of the commu-
nifty upon all occasions where bis
exertions will be a benefit He de-
serves the highest concentrations
and assistance OF each man who can
render any in his present labors,
which we hope will rebound to his
honor and the good of Giles county.

A very large audience greeted
6Irs w. X. Jones school eXhibi
tion last Thursday night at Antoi
nette Hall. All were agreeably en-
tertained, and those interested were
doubtless eminently satified with
the splendid evidence of good
training the children had received
Mt the hands of their accomplish
ed teacher. We cannot personate
without beng too lengthy and per
haps overlooking some one, but we
can say generally that the children
were surprisingly proficient and that
nothing wac wanting to make the
entertainment perfect of its kind.
We might cay that little Lizzie
Bunch acted beautifully the Queen
of May, and little Mamie Jones
was an exquisite Cinderella, etc,
etc, but cannot particularize. We
congratulate the excellent teacher
upon the successful evidences of
her proficiency and laborious care.

The Cost of Living Now Compared
with that of a Year Ago.

Careful inquiries made in the markets
and stores relative to the cost of living,
compared with a year ago, show some
changes between then and now. 1t ap-
pears that the price of eatables has shown
but slight decrease, The falling eff in the
price of meats being balanced by the rise
in potatoes and flour. Rents, fuel and
clothing are lower, and the actual cost OF
living TO man with family is probably
about five per cent. less than one year ago.
People who board, especially school teach
ers, are not benefited at all by these reduc-
tions, as prices have. with few excep-
tions, been held stifily to anti-panic fig
ures. A few boarding house keepers have
dropped the price of table board fifty cents
a week, but desirable rooms are held as
high as ever. Taking up the subject in de-
tail, and beginning with the strictest Deces-
saries, flour is from seventy-five cents 10
$1.50 o barrel higher than in February,
1876, while potatoes, which then sold for
forty cents bushel, now cost 81. On the
other hand, meats of all kinds and poultry
have declined about twenty per cent; pork,
then worth eighteen cents, sells for fifteen;
chickens have dropped from twenty cents to
fifteen, while salt meats show g still heavier
decline. Apples, too, selling for 81 to $5
per barrel, are now quoted at S1.75. Rice,
spices and fancy groceries are off small
percentage, as are teas, coffees, and foreign
fruits, Butter is held at precisely the same
figures as twelve months ago, but sug,rs
are ten per cent, higher, and kerosene has
jumped from eigteen to thirty-ive cents.
Stove coal then costing SO per ton deliv-
cred, can be bought for Sc, and wood has
dropped 81 per cord. La dry goods, sta
pie cottons have not varied materially for
the past twelve months, prints have ad-
vanced a Ii tie, silks are decidedly higher,
aud domestic wooden cloths have fallen
fully twenty per cent. OF foreign goods,
such as linens, superior cloth for mems
wear and the like, there has been no de-
cline beyond that caused by the fall of gold.
Mems ready made clothing OF the cheaper
grades is from twenty TO twenty-f five PER
cent cheaper than last year, but the de-
cline In fine goods has been much less Tai
lors and dr., ssmakers charge as much as
ever for their services. Boots and shoes
are slightly lower than last February, the
late advances not having fully made up for
the decline during the summer. On the
other hand, rubber goods are twenty five
per cent. higher. Rents have declined from
ten to twen y per cert, and those who keep
horses pay the same price for meal and hay
| as they die last February, while oats, which
then cost eighty cents per hushel, can be
had for sixry-four.-A Albany Express.

Death of Rear-Admiral Bailey.

The death OF Rear. Admi-als Alden and
Wilkes 10 quickly followed By that of Rear
Admiral Theodorus Bailey, which occurred
at Washington Saturday, who was known
to many Of our citizens and throughout
Vermont. He was born at Platt,burgh,
New York, in 1906. He saw as child
the terrible naval battle on Lake Champ
lain during the war Of 1879, when Commo-
dore MscDonough won his great victory

young Bsiley's future. When thirteen
years OF age he obtained an appointment as
midshipman in the navy. After nine years
Of service be was commissioned lieutenaot.

was engaged in two long cruises, one in the
Pacific ocean, on which he was gone two
years, the other to the East Indies, occu-
pying three years During the war with
Mexico he Joined the Pacific squadron.
There he won no little distinction, and his
gallant conduct was on several occasions
commended by hia superior officers. He
made his headquarters at San Francisco,
from which place he led several successful
expeditions against Mexican towns. He
also rendered important service In helping
to establish our form of civil government
in place of the Mexican system on the west
ern coaet. He was made commander in
1849. and captain in 1866. When the rebel
lion broke out he was assigned to the west
ern gulf blockading squadron. His first

commission as commodore. Iu 1866 he
was made rear admiral, since which time he
lived in Washington.

Timekeepers

A decline of over sixty per cent. in the
exports of Swiss watches to the United
States during the last two calendar years is
among our latest authentic commercial
items from Europe. The authority is Swiss,
aud is that of a leading merchant engaged
in that trade. And the account goes on to
give an explanation of the cause of the phe-
nomen, on which is that American watches
are made by labor saving machinery much
more cheaply, as well as with more accur-
acy as timepieces than the Swiss watches,
which are all made by hand. These latter
are still articles of fashion and taste, and
the workmanship is indisputably excellent
and the ornamentation always fanciful and
attractive. But American watches have
taken the market away from English,
French, German, and all other watches for
all ordinary grades, and have now advanced
80 successfully into competition with the
finer ones that the great decline in the I'M
portation of Swiss watches speaks for it,
self as indicating that our product is des-
tined TO master the entire field. In one Of
the largest, finest and most fashionable
jewelry stores in Philadelphia, we asked
the principal of the firm whether he sold
many American watches, and his reply was,
bushels of them" The fact is that for
every Swiss watch sold in America there
are hundred American watches sold
The superiority of the American watch
consists in the fact that every part of it is
made by machinery, all adjusted with the
most extreme exactness, so that any part of
the works will at into the same place In auy
other watch of the same make and class.
The machinery saves great deal of labor
aud turns out watches so fast and In such
quantities that 1t requires prodlgious
market to consume them all. Under the
influence of this industry the American
watch is becoming as thoroughly national
an institution as the American clock. The
total cessation OF the importation Of foreign
watches Is only question of time, for the
American trade has the command OF more
capital than its foreign rivals, and II has un-
doubtedly chespened watches in the same
way that the American manufacture cheap
ened clocks and steel. Those who are in-
clined TO doubt whether our works can
equal the fine Swiss taste in fancy watch
es, have only to look at the success OF the
Newark factories in the very finest descrlp-
tions of jewelry to see that there is no room
for question.
Indeed the rapid growth of wealth In the
country has created very active demand
for the very costliest classes of watches,

illustrates the Piano War by a Dog
story, and Gives the Bottom Facts.
Last week at the Tombs court, New
York city, before Judge Duffy, two claim
ants appeared for and with a handsome
Newfoundland dog. AS neither had any
corroborative evidence, the astute Judge
decided that the instinct of the dog himself
would be the surest test of ownership. A
policeman was ordered to hold the dog in
the center of the court room, while one
claimant was placed on one side of the
room, the other on the opposite side. Both
were ordered to whistle for the dog at
signal from the judge, the dog to be re-
leased at the same time, and choose between
the claimants.
The judge called time /; each claimant
whistled to the best of his ability. Police
man let go the dog but the dog, after
looking at the judge and surveying the
sought elsewhere its rightful owner.
A similar scene has been enacted for the
past two weeks among the piano men. A
couple OF piano-forte manutacturers-both
honorable men-hsve been whisting their
respective centennial awards through the
public press, with about as much success
as the claimants had with the dog.
The prizs belongs elsewhere.
Stripped, then, of all verbage, subter-
fuge, elimination and recrimination, law
suits, and oil side issues simply intended to
befog the public, the naked facts as to the
centennial awards are just these:
Most of the leading manufacturers re-
ceived nearly the same recognition in re-
gard to workmanship. Durability the
commission could only guess at The
only real distinction wa, made by the jury
as to the TONE of the pianos exhibited.
The piano, violin, and every other musi-
cal instrument Is valued and purchased
for Its
Thus, then, the Baltomore house is given
an award for general excellence in the
requisites of iirst-class instrument in
power of tone," to which the commission
added singing quality.
The New York house for "largest vol
ume, purity and duration of tone"
Whereas to WEBER is awarded "sympa-
thetic, pure, and rich tone, combined with
greatest power"
Comment as to which is the highest
award would be an insult to the intelligent
musical public.
Let them be the judges as to who is the
rightful owner of the centennial prize.
Suffice it to say that the Weber award
contains all that 10 possible in piano-forte
-"sympathy, purity, richness, and great
est power"
In short, soul in a piano. A. WEBER.
