"A matchmaker in Newcastle, says
a Pittsburg paper, has completed set
of three gold shirt studs, in one of
which is a watch that keeps excellent
time, the dial being about three
eighths of an inch in diameter. The
three studs are connected by strip of
silver inside the shirt bosom, and the
watch contained in the middle one is
wound up by turning the stud above,
and the hands are set by turning the
one below But perhaps the most re-
markable thing about the liliputian
machine is that it works with pendu-
lum, like clock, and pendulum will
act with ease and accuracy in whatev-
er position the timepiece is placed
even if it be turned upside down.
The wonderful and hitherto un-
heard-of feat has been accomplished Of
transporting from Paris to Glasgow a
box of electric energy The box,
measuring about a cubic foot and
weighing some seventy-five pounds,
contained four batteries, which were
charged in Paris, and held electric en-
ergy equivalent to nearly million feet.
This was carried to Sir William Thom-
son, at Glasgow, to be tested and
measured by him, and the power was
apparently preserved intact. 1t is be-
lieved that the discovery that electric
power can thus be boxed and carried
will result in important advantage,
practical as well as scientific, and the
fame of it goes to M. Camille Faure,
the French electrician,
Senator Mitchell has evidently set
up for himself, tor he does not share
the Cameron view of the scrimmage
with Conkling. He says he thinks the
President is right aud he intends to
stand by him. So far as Mr.. Conk-
ling's ability is concerned, he would
like to see him hack in the Senate, but
so long as he maintains his present at
titude Of hostility toward the Admins
tration he considers him better out OF
the Senate than in. Mr.. Mitchell
thinks lit would be cold day for the
Senators if Conkling were President,
for be would have his own way regard
less of what they thought" He prob
ably would, but the chances of his ever
being President are not alarming at
this moment.
If you wants plums you must be-
gin to do battle with the curculio at
at once. If you don't know the little
Turk, get your neigbbor to show him
TO you, and you will never forget him.
If you sprinkle your trees, fruit. limbs
and leaves with thin lime whitewash
and repeat in after rain, you can save
most of the fruit The only other
method is to spread sheet under the
tree, then give it a sudden jar, and the
curculio will fall from the tree, and
vou can dispatch him between your
thumb and finger. This, to be effect
ual, must be repeated once or twice a
day, until the seed of the green plum
becomes hard. These are the two
most effectual remedies known. They
involve some labor, but choice plums,
like many other nice things in this
world can only be had at some ex-
pense of time and trouble Choice
plums arc both pretty and good, and
are worth some trouble.
A member of a Pennsylvania bank
ing association, which was not tincorpor-
ated, sold his shares and withdrew.
He had been conspicuously advertised
as director, and no notice was given
Of his retirement, further than to omit
bis name from the published list of Of
ficers. The concern failed A deposit
tor sued this ex-dircctor for his claim,
on the ground that the deposit was
made in ignorance of his withdrawal.
O. which notification ought to have been
given. Tie Supreme Court has decided
for the plaintiff Judge Sterrett says :
Where IN ostensible or known member,
Of copartnership retires therefrom, and
wishes to shield himself from liability
for further debts of the firm, it is neces-
sary that the personal notice Of his
withdrawal be given to all wro have

From the War Department at
Washington we have received a circu-
lar stating that there being now pend
ing in that department great numbers
of volunteer pension claims which can
not be satisfactorily verified for want
of information which missing records
of discontinued volunteer commands
would afford and it having .ranspired
in many instances that officers of the
late volunteer forces have still in their
possession or under their control books
and other records pertaining to their
corps divisions. brigades, regiments and
companies, their attention is called to
the fact that all such books and records
should be deposited with this Office,
and they are earnestly requested to
cause the same to be forwarded with
out delay to the Adjutant General OF
the Army, at Washington, District OF
Columbia. No expense, other than
postage orproper express charges (when
packages exceed four pounds. the limit
for mail parcels), can be paid by the
Government"
