MAKING WATCHES.

Detective Watch Cases are one OF the chief

applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble and
expense. We have recently seen Il case that
meets all these requirements, it having been
carried for over twenty years and still remains
perfect. We refer 10 the JAS. BOSS Patent
stihcncd Gold Case, which has become one
or the staple articles or the Jcwclry trade,
possessing as 1t does so many advantages over
all other wGlch cases, being made Of two
heavy plates OF solid gold over q plate OF COM
position. Ard We advise all our readers to ask
their dcwcler Tor q card Or catalogue that Will
explain The manner n which they are made.
1t IS the only Stihcncd Case made with two
Plates or gold, seamless pendants, and centre,
solld joints, crown pieces, &c, all OF which are
covered by letters patent. Therefore buy no
case 'cforc consulting q Jcwclnr who keeps the

The Charlotte Observer Of the 9th
inst. contains al editorial on the
Presidents condition, which so we'll
expresses our own views Of his case
that we reproduce it:
We.were led to believe from the dis
patches sent over the wires for some
days back that the President was get
ting along splendidly, and that his re.
coycry vas only question Of time,
his progress being such that the at
tendant surgeons had dismissed all
Measiness and doubts as to his case.
The country accepted this version
= with confidence, and some cities had
gone 80 tnr ne tohold joyful celcbra-
> tions, ;as,the city of Brooklyn did a
few days ago.
But Yesterday came the news that
another surgical operation was found
necessary to permit the now Of pus,
which was being checked BY the heal
ing. Of the wound. There may be
nothing extraordinary III this, but to
.us it does not wear q very assuring
appearance. The presumption is that
tho attendant surgeons arc familiar
with the case. but when they send out
such rose-colored bulletins, md Mt the
lapse Of five weeks find further cutting
necessary to allow the escape of the
matter, the stoppagc Of which i'm
,peri]s his life, it does look as if they
were groping in the dark. They
naturally send ont the most encourng-
ing bulletins they can. bnt all this ii ne
the President lies on his back perfect
~ helpless, with pulse running from
90 TO lo8, rs it did Yesterday, enough
to consume the vital forces Of man
even stronger than he. lilo NAV or
may not be out Of danger, but when
these repoatcd applications Of the knife
are round necessary, we cannot help
thinking that he is far from being FL
the satisfactory condition the doctors
bulletins would make us believe he is.
The kilograms Of Tuesday represent
that the Prcsidont is doing very well
and that thore is no cause for alarm.
The wound is discharging freely
through the opening made by the
second operation, and seems to .be in a
satisfactory condition. The patient Is
taking, without bad effect, tho nuur.
iahment prescribed by the surgeons.
The indications arc all represented as
favorable, but in view Of recent dis
appointments the hopes of the public
VIII not be greatly strengthened.
