A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE.
New because 1t Is only within the las few
years that 1t has been improved and brought

because the first invention was made and the

since, are nearly as good as new. Read the fol-

THE YEAR 188l.-Somc mathemati-
cal genius undoubtedly gifted with a
large share of patience, has figured out
tho following in regard to the year
1881: From left to right and from
right to left it reads the same; 18 di-
vided by 2 gives 0 as quotiont; ls
divided by 8 gives 2; if 81 be divided
by the quotient contains g., if null
tiplied by 0, the product contains two
9's; and 8 arc 8; 8 and are 8. If
18 be placed under the 81 and added,
the sum is 81. If the figures be added
thus, /, 8, 8, /, it will give 18. Read
ing from left to right it is 18, and read
ing from right to lett it is 1S, and l8 is
two-ninths of8l. by adding, divid-
ing aud multiplying. nineteen 9's are
produced. being one 8 tor every year
needed to complete tic century.
THE COTTON CROp.-rhc following
statement showing the condition of

No Cause for Dependency.

We do not agree with some of onr
contemporaries that the result of the
elections last year in New York and
other Northern States, and the signs
of the times at present, argers with
any degree of certainty the defeat
of the Democratic party in the great
contest to come off this year. But
OH the contrary we see in these
seemingly unfavorable results, the
very best of reasons for believing
that the party will profit by the ey-
perienee and will enter the great
conflict, not only wiser but stronger
even on account of the fire through
which it has passed. The great
principles of the party are as I'M
changing as the everlasting hills
and in its fight for human rights and
liberty, may sometimes in the future
as it has in the past suffer Temporal
~ defeat, bat it will as certainly
rise again as the sun rises to dispel
the gloom of night. Its fundamen-
tai principles never change and al
though from the combination of it's
enemies or the treachery of false or
pretended friends it may be repulsed
and even apparently overtbrown,
vet these only serve to renew it's
strength, winow the chaff, and bet
ter than ever prepare it for the bat
ties before it.
The great battle which the Demo
Gratis have to fight is that against
the ever alert and ever-aggressive
enemies of human freedom, and we
believe that, true to its unchanging
principles and its traditions, when
the time comes it will marshal it's
host and march to conquest and vic
tory. Time and time again, follow
ing temporary reverses, the Demo
cratic party has been pronounced
dead. Its enemies would have re-
joiced and banqueted over it's de
mise, but in spite of all it lived and
still lives and will continue to live.
Its friends need not fear it's death
nor its enemies hope for such an
event, for it will not happen. If all
Democrats will! but be true to their
principles, the fog which now seems
to overhang the party will he dis
PEELED and 1880 will witness it's tri-
umphant victory over all opposing
elements.
