How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one. who
will examine 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 stiffen and hold the
engraved portions in place, and supply
the necessary solidity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless
so far as UTILITY and beauty are con-
cerned In JAMES BOSS PAT
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
waste of precious metal is overcome,
and the same solidity and strength
produced at from one-third to one-half
OF the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is Of the most simple nature,
as follows : plate of nickle compost
ton metal, specially adapted to the
purpose, has two plates Of SOLID GOLD
soldered one on each side The three
are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centeres, bezels. &C.,
are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases
is sufficiently thick to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving and en-
amelling tie engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without re-
moving the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE

SOLID GOLD d WARRANTED

The ,Koman N,I, Aaser. ,tse1r-

The London correspondent of Figaro &C
counts for the failure of the Empress i.liza-
beth, of Austria, to visit the queen at Wind
sor on her return from her foX-hunting expe-
dItion to Ireland. Whether true or not, the
story Is at least interesting. A year ago
when the empress's visit to London drew
near its close, she went to Windsor one
wintry Sunday to make a farewell call on
Queen Victoria. According to the etiquette
OF the court, the hour of her arrival and de-
parture had been announced beforehand
One of the royal carrIa ges awaited her at the
station and took her up to the castle through
driving snow-stOrm. The visit over the
empress took her departure at the pre-
scribed time, and was not asked 10 remain.
although the storm had increased to fury.
Such an invitation would have been ouly an
act OF common polIteness for common peo-
pie, but it would have violated the canons Of
court etiquette. On the way back to the sta
ton one of the horses slipped and fell, caus-
ing delay of some minutes, during which
the sharp whistle of the train reached the
ears OF the empress. The station was
reached few seconds too late. In any other
class of society the disagreeabie situation
would have been remedIed by the return Of
the traveller to her hostess, but etiquette for
babe counting on the royal hospitality under
such circumstances. So the empress renamed
at the station, warming her feet at the fire
Ia the stationmaster's little paClor, aud salts
flying her hunger with n share OF the family
dinner of roast-beef and Yorkshire pudding
The Empress Elizabeth is not a woman to be
annoyed by such trihing accidents as missing
train and being thrown on the hospitality
of poor railroad official, but she preserves a
little feeling of spite against Queen Victoria
for not sending the carriage back to Ike der
to the castle when she learned of the affair,
and for never troubling herself to inquire
about the end of the adventure. II is SAID
that her imperial majesty has made vow
never to set her foot in Windsor castle again,
and that she declined an invitation to the
wedding of the Duke of Connsught In terms
too curt to be courteous.

Death of a somnanbuIIst.

New York Times: ''Mrs. Ann M'Cusker,
of No. 225 West Sixteenth street, met with
a horrible death some time during Saturday
night She lived on the third floor of the
tenement house at the above number, and
was supported by tie earnings of her son,
laborer, who lived with her. She was SOM
nambulist, ard had to be closely watched, as
she would get up at all hours of the nj ,ht
and walk or climb to the most out of-the way
and dangerous places while sound asleep. At
four 0 clock yesterday morning Officer Michael
Kelley, of the sixteenth precinct, while patrol
ing his post noticed Ms. M,Gpsker agParent,
residence. Knowing the womans aiment,
the policeman cautiously approached her for
the purpose of awakening her. He was
afraid to do it too suddenly or rudely, lest she
might fall from the fence and ipiure herself
He took hold of her arm, called to her, and
gently shook her. Receiving no response, he
renewed his efforts, but again without effect.
He then clasped his arms around the woman
body and attempted to lift her to the ground,
but could MT. In repeating the attempt, the
policeman noticed that the woman's body was
cold. He then realized the nature of the case,
and at once reported 1t at the stationhouse
An ambulance was telegraphed tor, and sur
geon accompanied it to the place. Mrs.
M'Cusker was found to be SO firmly
impaled on the fence-spike that it required
the strength of several men to lift her body
away, the iron penetrating her person many
inches. Her body was quite cold, and she
had evidently been dead long time. 1t was
found that her skull was broken and that her
left arm was fractured. The front window of
her bedroom was open, and she had simply
her night dress on. 1t was evident that She
had arisen in her sleep and had climbed out
OF the window. In falling the body had

Strange InfatuatiOn.

EVANSVILLE, April 8.-Two weeks ago a
gray haired, fne-looklng man of fifty, giving
his name as Herman Rose, came to the city
and stopped at the Fulton avenue hotel with
a handsome and well educated girl of
eighteen, whom he represented as his wife.
They have been very quiet, and only during
the past two days has Rose ventured to an
nounce his intention of settling and teaching
music, OF which art he is a professor. Yester-
day Detective Brennecke received letter from
st. Louis, advising him that Rose was music
teacher there, and had eloped with Emma Hob
mana, his pupil. The girl was the daughter
of a widow, her father, st. Louis artist,
having died eight years ago. Rose and the
girl LETT home suddenly FIVE weeks ago and
stopped for some time in st. Louis, then
coming here. The girls mother was dying
from the shock, and wanted her to come
home. On being confronted with the letter
Rose denied any improper intercourse, say
ing that he had lived with the girl as a
father, occupying the same room, and at
night sleeping on the floor, while she occu-
pied the only bed in the room. He exhibited
a decree of divorce from his wife, issued in
st. Louis in 1876, by which two
children were left in the wife's custody.
The girl said she was willing to go home
to see her mother, but she wanted it
understood that she had the right to love
whom she pleased" She SAID she loved
Rose, and had stopped at an designation
house in st. Louis two weeks with him be-
fore coming here. She is beautiful, fine
musician, speaks three languages, and is very
firm and self-possessed. The girls mother
deprecated any force or exposure, and only
left her request to the daughters decision,
promising that if she could see her once more
she would die happy. To-day the girl re-
fused to return, and the detective is awaiting
instructions from headquarters, while the
strangely infatuated girl remains with the
aged Lothario at the Fulton avenue hotel.

a Dirty City.

Chicago Times (edtorial): "For some
time it seems to have been the opinion of our
municipal magnates that funerals are cheaper
than sanitary measures instituted in the in
terests of the whole city. A beggarly, and
at the same time costly economy has pre-
vailed, whereby an Officials value has been
measured by the smalness of the appropri-
alton ordered and expended, and not by the
results which he may have accomplished.
The consequence, among other things, is rot
ten pavements, oozing with filth, and sub
stances which will rapidly putrefy the mo-
ment we have the uninterrupted sunshine.
Chicago Is to-day the dirtiest city in the uni
verse; and that 1t Is not also the most IN
healthy is owing wholly to the accident of
location. There is but one excuse to be urged
for the existence of universal nastlness, and
this is but partial one. 1t is that it is SIM
ply an impossibiity to perfectly clean the un-
even, rotten surfaces of the wooden abortions
which cover our streets under the name of
pavements. One could not clean them by any
machinery known to the age. A man who
should take tooth brush and go over every
block, carefully removing everything, and
ending by thoroughly wiping each block with
a clean towel, would not even by this method
entirely cleanse the wooden pavement. That
is something which cannot be done by any
other process than carefully taking up all the
blocks, carting them out on the prairie, and
tnen consuming them by nre. Iheytare the
most unclean material in existence for street.
paving. Their great poroslty leads to the
absorption of excrem entail matter, until!every
block becomes sponge loaded with filth, and
giving off, under the heat of the sun, a most
dangerous exhalation. For this reason, the
wooden pavements can never be thoroughly
cleaned, although this fact in no sense ex-
cuses the present condition of affairs, in which
the streets are inches deep in Eud and excre-
ment, and the cutters are currentless rivers
OF nastness.

Sabbath: Let every one be persuaded in his
own inadvertently with the implication
and act accordingly. Shall the law dlverge
from scripture, and ssylthat the views OF one
order of minds shall break the rule o. chris
tian charity, and by fine and force compel
the restP There is a clear and simple way
opt of the whole difficulty. Those who close
tl,e;r busIness and keep some other day than
Sunday must not be interfered with-justice
and the constitution of the United
States demand this. For the rest, certain
hours on the Sunday should be set apart as
worship-time for the mass of the population,
and that is as much as can with fairness and
in a christian spirit be required. Butt 1t Will
be asked, if 1t is settled that the Sunday OBJ
servance is not commanded in the scriptures
will not the observance cease altogetherT
We answer that for nineteen centuries 1t has
not ceased, although until recent times the
modern fiction of a Sunday Sabbath was UNI
| known. There is no scriptural command for
regarding our churches as sacred places, but,
| from the very nature of the solemn rites to
which they are consecrated, they are and
always have been so regarded. The same
| feeling, coupled with apostolic example ana
precept, has always protected the Sunday OBJ
servapce and will still do so, without man
with fines and imprisonment presumrng to
help God, as if what he has caused to be
written in His word was deficient and power
less. We have recently shown what the
Sunday is not; we have now explained wha'
1t is, and the readers of the APPEAL are nov
able to decide as to the good or evil OF issu

A shocking murder has been committed at
Bolton, England, by man named William
Cooper. His victim is a woman named Ellen
Mather, aged thirty-nlne years, who at inter-
walls extending over twenty years had been
employed as barmaid at the Albert Inn, Der
by street, occupied by Mrs. Sarah Leach.
Both parties were married, Cooper having
SIX children and Mather four. They had been
acquainted from their youth, Cooper having
wooed the deceased. They quarreled, and
Cooper enlisted In the army. After the lapse
OF few years he obtained his discharge and
returned to Bolton. He then found that in
his absence lis old sweetheart had married
molder named Mather. She did not live
happily, however, with her husband; and
seven years ago the latter came to America,
taking with him three of his children and
leaving his wife with an infant. In the mean
time Cooper had also got married, but he
seems to have still entertained a strong affec-
ton for his first love, " and, it is said never
ceased to importune her with his addresses.
He was a constant visitor at the Albert inn.
In the course of the evening of the tragedy

Another Grave Mistake by Governor


Jackson Tribune and San: tine failure
of Governor Marks to reappoint General
Frank Cheatham to the Office of superintend-

satisfaction IN this section. General Cheath-
am is esteemed and loved IN this end of the
State beyond that of any other public man,
and there is a feeling here that the old hero
of two wars-the man that led the famous
division In the last war which gave to Ten

for brilliant courage-deserves of the State
he has SO highly holored a good and COM

most worthy gentleman; but still down here
In West Tennessee the survivors of the nine
teen regiments from this end of the State
who followed 'Old Frank amid the sunshine
and night of the most desperate struggle in
modern history, and their parents, kindred
and friends, feel that the old hero, whose
back IN battle tue enemy never saw, deserved
to browse IN the sweet pastures of official
station during the few years left to him on
earth. Broken down in fortune, unable
from the habits and systems learned in war,
and too old to begin anew the race for for
tune, General Cheatham has not been able
to adapt himself to the new order of things,
although he has tried nohly to do SC, and
hence he IS especially deserving of the sym
pathy and the active appre citation Of Iennes-
scans. We disclaim any intention to reflect
upon the motives of the governor in this
matter, but still we must say that he has
made a grave mistake, and we might add
that in the hearts of thousands down here he
has made the additional mistake in not reap
pointing to the Office of warden of the peni-
Tertiary that capable, honest and useful Off

said, and we close with the hope that all will
