needless 40 far as utility and beauty are
concerned. In james BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH GASES, this waste of pre-
cious metal is overcome, and the same
solitlity and strength are produced,

cases. This process is OF the most simple

purpose, has two plates of solid gold sol
dered one on each side. The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers,
and the result is Il strip of heavily plated

centres, sbezels, ETC., 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
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth 10y

PARIS. Sept ember2, 1880.
Our county has made tremendous corr
crop. The whole wheat crop would no,
make a good paragraph. Oats are fit only
for stock, and will not satisfy the appetite
for news. The thin and vapid melon theme
has become stale and fiat, producing only a
watery sensation. We might, however, get
up an interesting, though long winded, strain
on sweet potatoes, but it would require too
much labor and pains for this hot weather.
We propose to get up something lively in
this line later on.--As we get closer to the
election time we expect to witness
regular deluge of local news and thorougf
stirring Of local editors and Others
Our city at this time is remarkably quiet
No one seems to have any money to throw
into the missionary box. Mayor Gibbons
is visiting Eureka springs. During his alb.
sence Alderman Graham is acting mayor.
We claim to have the busiest town in
northern Texas, ald of course we are all get.
ting anxious to see it rain.-We have re.
ceived only twenty bales of new cotton up
to this writing, which were readily taken at
good figures cotton in this section
h"S pSSh podiJ tdhihSOA Wy tuO uOil WOlhiy
and from the best information that l can
gather, with favorable fall, will not yield
over one-tt ird of a bale to the acre.--The
cotton compress is nearing completion and
will add largely to the business Of the place.
-Babeock's opera house is completed and
is just as nobby as could be. The result is
we will have good troupes visit us now
In tho primary election held in this
county the other day, the vote polled was
over thirty-three hundred, and in face of that
the Greenback paper at this place comes out
and says that the Greenbackers will carry
this county this fall by five hundred majority.
This sounds good deal like General
Weaver going to carry Alabama.-The
notorious Fan Barrett is resting quietly in
our county Jail. 1t is said he is wanted in
Dallas to answer for some of his former
sins. Sheriff John A. Gose is talking of
going to Hot Springs for his health.-Colo'
mel Pfouts was in our city yesterday, working
in the interest of the HERALD, and l am glad
to state, met with fine success. The HERALD
is liked we'll by our business men generally
because it is honest and takes a level view of
questions of public interest.-Mr. Tom
Broad arrived home to-day from the east.

How They Got Him Down.

One day recently, as the insane
Berlin were taking their accustomed
exercises in the gardens of that estab-
lishment, under the supervision of sew
eral attendants, one of them, lunatic
cab driver, of herculean strength, con-
trived. to slip away from his companions
and to Chamber up the trunk of huge
elm tree. Having reached one of the
topmost limbs, and armed himself with
a stout branch, he announced his inten-
tion of staying there forever. No one
dared to attempt his capture by force;
so, after a couple of hours had elapsed,
the medical authorities summoned to
their assis tance detachment of the
fire brigade and an engine, which forth
with began to play upon the deranged
gymnast. Having drenched him for
ten minutes spell the firemen sum-.
moned him to parley, but could
get nothing of him save fantastic
and highflown speech of thanks for
their refreshing attentions" Another
and still more protracted deluge prov
ing equally Intellectual in inducing
him to descend, the warders and police
men recurred to friendly negotiations,
and their persuasions at lenght moved
the triumphant madman to declare that
If they would pay homage to his gym
nastic skill and heroic endurance by
three rounds of enthusiastic applause,h
would come down. His terms were
promptly accepted, and he descended to
terra firma amid the vehementi plaudits
of policemen, warders and firemen, thus
honorably capitulating after siege of
five hours and a-half duration.

She was Willing.

A London newspaper tells a curious
story about gentleman who proposed
at dinner party to lady who is now
his wife. He had been lover for some
time, but never quite persuaded himself
up to the point of popping the question.
During the eventful dinner he learned
from the person sitting next to him that
q rival intended that evening to make {
an attack upon his Dulcinea's heart
She was sitting at some distance from
him at the table, and the rival was at
her side. He was equal to the emer-
gency, however, fer tearing a half-leaf
from his notebook, he wrote upon 1t
"Will you be nay wife? Write your
answer, yes or no, upon this paper and
return it to me-"
Calling waiter the ingenious lover
sent the missive to " the lady in blue at
the end of the table-be very careful. ~
The servant did as directed, but the
lover in his anxiety forgot to send his
pencil. The lady had presence of mind
however, and tucking the note into her
bosom, said to the waiter;
Tell the gentleman yes"
