see what was the matter with it..
The jeweler took it, put mag
nifying glass before his eye,
opened the case, touched the
wheels with pick, and remarked that
it needed cleaning, as it was very dirty.
On inquiring the cost of such an oper-
alton, she was told that it would be
$3.50. The young lady was amazed. for
she had mad the watch only three days
and was reluctant to believe that it re-

store in Brooklyn, and, handing her
watch to the man at the counter, pre-
ferred the same request as before. He
went through the same process of inspec-
ton, and said the handspring was broken,
and the watch needed cleaning. In
curing the cost again she was told it
would be 81. She said she would see
her father about it, and at night when
he came home she told him of her days
doing, and said his friend must have
cheated him. Her father took the
watch to New York in the morning, and
in the course of the day stepped into
his friends store, where he bought it,
and asked him to look at the watch and
see why it had stopped. His friend,
after looking at it moment, took up
key, and, winding it up, handed it back
with the remark: "No watch will run
unless it is kept wound up"

A EunlIy Mistake.

The other day an old country woman drove
up in her wagon to well known shoe store,
aud entering the same, thus accosted the ur-
bane proprietor: Il want to see them ere
Ninety-fve' Rubber Boots advertised in all the
papers I'm thinking they must be cheap at
95 cents, and I'll just take homo two pair to the
old man."
1t was difficult at first to convince the old
lady that the figures "95" referred to quality,
not price, and that the boots were 95 per cent
sterling pure; but when she was shown sam
pie cut open to display the interior, and saw
that the soles were half an inch thick OF solid
rubber, and the upper and legs were double
thick, she was contented to pay, not % cents,
but several dollars, for single pair Of the
"Candee 95 Per Cent. Boots" believing they
would be the cheapest in the end for the Sold
man." The storekeeper punched the date Of
sale in The legs to fix the expiration Of the
three months warrant, and assured her In
case they did not stand the warrant, he would
give new pair free of charge.

The Matter with the Watch.

A Brooklyn parent gave bis daughter
handsome watch on her 18th
birthday. One night she forgot to
wind it, aud in the morning the hands
and wheels were motionless. She took
it for granted that she had used the
watch carelessly, and that something
was broken inside. She did not like tc
say anything to her father about it, but,

An Eagle Attacks Two Little Children.

III Lake county, Mimi, while little
Augustus Burr, aged 7 years, was play
ing with his equally little sister, near
his home, down upon the juvenile party
came an enormous eagle, throwing the
two children to the ground and attempt
ing to carry off the smaller one. Then
was exhibited the prowess of the small
Augustus. Into the house he went and
out he came again with butcher knife,
and that savage birds legs he proceeded
to cut and whack and slash. Naturally,
the indignant eagle LETT the girl, and
engaged with the boy, knocking him
over, tearing his little pantaloons, and
scratching him severely. The childish
screams soon brought the mother to the
scene, and the impudent eagle flew to
the top of the barn, and sat there, still
hupgry for the little girl. But neigh
Dor Joe Betzler came, aud with his gun
shot that eagle, and when they meas
ured him they found that it was seven
feet from one of his wing-tips to the
other. The little Augustus should
hereafter be called Augustus Caesar.

Many persons are probably not
aware of the character of the fight
that has been going on in Tennessee,
which, though it resulted in carry
ing the State for Hancock, gave a
Republican Governor to a Democrat
ic State. The issue was one between
repudiation and honest payment of
debt. A section of the Democrats
joined with the Republicans in favor
of reputation, whilst the regular
Democratic party stood, squarely
and firmly for honest payment. If
the lattar are beaten on a portion of
their State ticket they have at least
the consolation of knowing they
made a bold, open, manly fight,
standing for honesty and good gov
ernment, without equivocation or
compromise. Vital principles were
at stake which might have been sur
rendered by a compromise but which
are not lost by defeat. The Ten
nessee Democrats have nothing to
regret. Republican partial victory is
bad, but Democratic dishonor would
have been worse.

and this day Of thinking, of pause,
of remembrance, may be greatly to
our profit if we so choose.
It is idle for us to institute com
parsons between our condition to-
day and that of one year, or two
years or ten years ago, for such a
process involves SO many complex
relations, and leaves US in such
doubt as to what has brought about
the results which we SO highly prize,
that we may be sure to lose the best
that such an occasion offers.
But, on the other hand, if we
pause and reflect, even for moment,
upon the whirl and hubbub of our
course, upon the contingencies by
which our course is Swallowed; if we
take one day in all the year to see,
not what has been done for us, but
what we have done for ourselves,
then We may hope to attain the best
that such a time offers.
And instead of pretending that
we owe to some other the best that
we have, Ietsus plainly say, provided
we have what we mayslplume our
selves upon, that we find our efforts
rewarded, and 80, as we to-day take
unto ourselves the best that we can
provide, let us congratulate our
selves upon our future, and improve
the day in making for the future
such plans as may yield US again a
fruitful harvest.
The best that there is of this day
is its thoughtfulness, for ourselves
and for others, and no one can make
q better use of the past than to
make its lessons rebound to our
profit and to that of others.
So then, with this season produc-
tive of all that benefits US, and all
whom we can help, let us feel sure
that every year, as it passes US by,
viii find us better and stronger,
more careful and observant of all
that may help us to a fuller and
clearer view of all that makes us
nobler and higher men.

One Word to Southern Democrats.

One Word to Southern Democrats.
Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat
Some of you become impatient at
seeing no returns from year after
year of solid adherence to the Dem.
ocratic party. You grow fault-find-
ing and querulous. You speak has
tily and misjudge the Democrats of
the North. You do them unmanly
injustice when you accuse them of
indifference and want of good faith.
Always remember that but for the
Democrats of the North the South
to-day would be a Poland. When
the war closed the South was under
the feet of the Radical party. 1t
trampled it down with the great
muddy boots of its plunderers from
1868 to 1S74-six hungry, starving,
terrible years; but the Democrats of
the North stood as stone wall in
behalf of the SOuth-first a forlOrn
hope, afterwards an aggressive mi
nority, and finally, a triumphant or.
ganization in both branches of Con-
gress. They gave the people of the
South a chance to get breath-to
rally from the exhaustion of the
war-a place to find succor-a friend
at court-a champion where they
most needed defence-and in the
end perfectand precious deliverance.
You Democrats of the South may
be little impatient or impetuous,
but you have never yet been accus-
ed of ingratitude. Your fate is in
dissolubly linked, politically, with
the Democrats of the North. Be-
tween you and the principles of the
Republican party there is an ire
pressible conflict. You cannot fuse
with the Republican party and keep
your manhood, your self respect,
and your love of liberty. You have
no other natural allies save the
Northern Democrats, and the hour
that you think you have, that very
hour are you fit for treason, strata
gem, and spoils. The Democrats of
the North have saved you once from
AFFECT slavery; they will save you
again from Imperialism, which is
but another name for abject slavery.
The touching and brotherly invi-
tation of Ben Hill, ct ais, to all hum
cry and demoralized Democrats, So
called, to come up and take seat
on the top rail of the political fence,
reminds us of the elegant little
poem written by school girl in the
contest for prize:
"Uncle Simon, he
Clum up a tree
And squatted down to see
What he could see.
Uncle Jim
Clum up beside of him
And squatted down by he.''

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day.
The giving Of thanks is the natu.
Yal fruit of common courtesy. The
meanest and lowest Of mankind &C
knowledges the obligation that is
upon him to recognize in some way
the claim of him who obliges him.
So it is that in every day life we see
acknowledgment made in the con-
ventiOnal terms that custom has
formulated for that purpose. We
have grown used to this general law.
And it might be said, with reason,
that men have learned to pronounce
SO trippingly these expressions Of
their sense of obligation that in
them lies no proof whatever Of q
feeling akin to the gratitude that is
thereby shown forth. Indeed, it
may be said that general lack of
gratitude is the rule rather than the
exception.
The hurry and hustle Of every.
day life is somewhat the cause of
this. They have not the time to do
more than care for themselves. The
passing aid or casual help that they
receive is as nothing when compar-
cd with the exertion they make in
their own behalf, and, therefore,
every one credits to himself what
ever of success or advantage that
he has gained. Yet, it is an old
custom to set apart some one day in
the year, when the sum total Of obi.
cation to other aids or powers may
lie made up, and the balance fairly
and truly made.
Ever since the first glimmering
dawn Of history down to the present
time, there has been set apart q
special time for offering . suitable
and proper return for all bene-
Gifts that may have been confer.
red. Moses, the great law giver Of
Israel, appointed a day Of thanks
. giving for the prosperity that his
people enjoyed, and there is no rec
ord which shows that it was not
heartily responded to by his people.
But as the centuries have clogged
together, and the world has grown
buster and time has become more
valuable, such occasions have be-
come more marked, in contrast, no
doubt, with the general business of
the days of men.
Farup in the most northern points
of Europe the time of fruition or
the season Of produce and of plenty
is marked by kind of sacrifice of
first fruits to the Great Power, to
whose generousness is due the pros
perity that marks the passing year.
And the cold breezes that blow
over the frozen fieldsof Sweden and
Norway sweep down and over the
more central spaces of the South,
and the praises and prayers that
they bear become the petitions and
plants of different races.
Out Of the glory and plenty of har-
vest grows the offerings Of the after
math, and in our country we find a
response to . custom that got it's
growth amid the solemn SHOWS of
Scandinavia, or the primitive piety
Of Egypt Over continents and
countries this feeling has crept, and
our own land has cherished the
dreams and fancies Of former PEG
