are instructive and impressive In at least
one other way. We are reminded on the
hrst day OF the year that we have foreign
relations; that We as people do not live
to ourselves, nor order the fashion of our
national household; that republicanism is
not such new departure as the apostles
OF new tangled steam, electricity
aud printing presses, would have US
believe; that in spite of our discovery of a
new continent, the width of the Atlantic
ocean, and our Wanted secession from
monarchial forms and formulas. we are
compelled to servllely copy that which the
eHete despotlsms perpetuate only as a ven
cradle tradition. When we see the FOREIGN
diplomatic corps-the gorgeous embassa-
doris OF Russia, Turkey, Austria, Denmark
and Sweden, with their numerous attaches
any one OF them with twice as much gold
braid and tlnsel as our own resplendent
army and navy officers, our minds are car
rled back to the day OF Iallerand and Mat
ternleh, or, farther to the age of RicheIieu
and Machraevelle, when the policies Of ma
tons were not discussed, and the secrets of
courts anticipated and exposed by the
press, -cabled to the four quarters of the
globe, for the information Of all the world
and finally, for the information of the sue
cessors OF Matternich and Talleraud.
w hen We see the modern ambassador in
his arduous and delicate diplomatic worE
of calling at the White House one dav ~
the sos, presenting his compliments to the
president, and wishing him and Mrs, HAYES
| a happy new year-our hearts (not our
| pockets) may swell with the reflection. that.
in spite of the press, steam, the Atlantic
ocean. and the Atlantic cable, we have the
proud privilege of paying few millions a
year in support OF this venerable antique
mimicry of diplomacy at foreign courts.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

II will be apparent to any one, who will ex-
anime a Solid Gold Watch, that aside from the
necessary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion OF the precious metal used,
is needed only TO stiIIcn and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
soidity and strength. The surplus gold is act
ualiy needless so far as utility and beauty are
concerned. In James Boss Patent Gold Watch
Cases, this waste of precious metal Is overcome,
and the same soiidIty and strength produced ut
from one-thiTd to one half Of the usual cost of
solid cases. This process Is of the rlOst simple
nature, rs follows: plate of nickel composition
metal, specially adapted to the purpose, has
two plates OF solid gold soldered one on each
side. The three are then passed between polish
ed steel rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition. from which the cases,
backs, centres bezeis. &c, are cut and shaped
by suitable dies aJ.d formers The gold in these
cases Is sufficiently thick 10 admit Of all kinds
Of chasing. engraving and euameling; the en-
graSed cases have been carried until worn per-
fecily smooth Dy time and use without rcnos-
ing the gold.
This Is the only case made with two plates %
solid gold, and warranted by special certificate.

A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.

Some weeks ago DR.. G., very
reputable and wi lely known physician,
living on C street, was called to at
tend a very complicated case of Rheuma-
tism. Upon arriving at the house he
found man about forty years of age,
lying in Frustrated and serious condi-
ton, with his whole frame dangerously
affected with the painful disease. He
prescribed for the patient, but the man
continued to grow worse, and on Sunday
evening he was found to be in q very
alarming condition. The knees and
elbows and larger joints were greatly
infianied and could not be moved. It
was only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with the
aid of three or four persons. The weight
of the clothing was SO oppressive that
means had to be adopted to keep it from
the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be of no avail, and left the house.
the members of the family following
him to the door, weeping At this criti-
cal hour, neighbor, a poor and humble
German shoemaker, appeared to the
grief smitten ones as q saving angel. He
had heard Of the despair of the family,
and now asked them to try his remedy,
and accordingly brought forth q bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil. AS drowning man
will catch at straws, SO the poor wife
applied this remedy; she had no hope,
but would try anything as matter of
duty. The first application eased the
patient very much; after few hours
they used it again, and, wonder of won
ders, the pain vanished entirely Every
subsequent application improved the
sufferer, and in two days he WAS we'll and
out. When the doctor called few days
after he was indeed surprised; for, in
stead of corpse, he found new-made
man.-Eachaage.
