How watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, a large proper
ton of the precious metal used, is need
ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the neces
sary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold is actually needless so far as UTIL-
ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAS.
BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CA
SEES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from One-third
to One-half of the usual cost of solid
cases This process is of the NEST SIM
pie nature, as follows a plate of nickle
composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID
GOLD sOldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centers, bezels, 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 enameling /;
the engraved cases have been carried
until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.

THE LAW passed by the last Legisla-
ture requiring clerks of County Courts
to keep a record of all the births, mar
riages and deaths in each county in the
State, is a humbug. 1t cannot be exc
cuted. How is the clerk going to find
out these things? He can find out about
marriages of course, because a fellow
has to get license to marry, but he
can be born, or he can die, and ask no
permission of any officer or any act Of
the Legislature. We say that law is q
humbug

IT IS against the law now to catch fish
in any other way than with hook and
line. To catch fish in a trap, net or
seine, with gig, grab.hook, or other de-
vice, to shoot, speer or kill with giant
powder, fish berries, or anything else,
subjects the offender to a fine of not
less than five nor more than fifty dol
lars. This will break up fishing for the
market in this country if the law is
Obeycd. We think the Legislature set
its coulter little too deep.

EsoP TRLLs us in one of his fables
Of man who once owned a goose that
laid a golden egg every day. For a
while the man fed that goose regularly
and tsok great care of the fowl. fIe
was gradually growing rich. Avaricc,
however, finally got the better of his
good sense and the fool killed the goose,
hoping thereby to get all the gold at
enc time. The world has never ceased
to point the finger Of scorn and deriSinn
at that man as being the boss fool of all
history. The Rogersville aud Jefferson
railroad is the Hawkins county goose.
That road brings thousands and thOus-
ands of dollars into this county every
year which would not come here at all
if we had no road. The money paid
out to labsrers every week for hauling,
&c., and to railroad employees amounts
to a large sum annually. This money
goes directly into the pockets of the
common peOple-it finally makes Its
way into the hands of the farmers for
bread, bacon, sheep. lar0, butter, pOul'
try, eggs, &c. We venture the guess
that the marble shipped out of this
county brings as much cash into it as
an average wheat crop-the greater par
of which we would lose If the railroad
shonid be broken down. Now, W.
want to ask the members of our County
Court question. Is it right to burden
this read with q heavy tax? AS TIT
road does so much to aid the people il
paying their own taxes, would it ne
be simple justice and fair play to lie
that road 90 free? In other words, ar

BEACONSFIELD'S BODY BURIED AT
HUGHENDEN.
LONDON, April 26.-The funeral
ceremonies of Earl Beaconsfeld took
place to-day, and the body was de-
posted in the family vault at Hug
henden, by the side of that of the
late Countess of Besconsfed. The
remains of Mrs. Williams, the &C.
centric lady, who left by her will
100000 to Lord Beaconsfeld, on
condition she should be inferred in
his family vault, are deposited there,
A special train from sLondon
brought the Prince of Wales, the
representatives of the Queen, who
sent a wreath of flowers for the
coffin.
The workmen did not complete
the reconstruction of the vault for
the reception of the body until noon.

the day the wether cleared.
The funeral cortege left the Manner
House for the church at 3 o'clock,
and immense crowds along the road
stood with uncovered heads during
the passage of the procession. 1t was
met at the southern door of the
church by the Vicar, who began
reading the burial services, the con-
gregation standing with bowed
heads. The services in the church
were very impressive, and at the
conclusion the remains were con
veyed to the vault for final inter

reference TO its influence on party
management and success. AS
in those days foreigners largely
cast their fortunes with the
Democratic party, the immediate
and most active cause of opposition
TO Foreigners was from the enemies
of that party. The Know nothing
movement, hence, received an anti
slavery colOring in its earliest cam
paigns. This worked its ruin. The
campaign of Gov. Henry n. Wise. in
Virginia, dealt Sam a staggering
blow from which he never wholly
recovered. OF late years the great
preponderance of foreign voters has
gone to the Republican party ex-
cept the Irish, no nationality having
swelled the voting strength of the
Democratic party. The broad and
liberal views of Democrats on this
subject have remained the same,
though the political advantages re-
sulting from the influx of foreign
voters have been so largely against
them.
"This little note from the New
York Tribune, the ancient and
powerful enemy of the Democratic
party, in other days, and the persis-
tent one in, these, may betoken
the general feeling on the subject,
and is only remarkable on account
of its dissonance in the almost uni
yersal accord of the invitation to
foreigners to come to our shores,
and in numbers the greater the bet
ter. 1t may be little significant
that this first faint warning comes
from the same political source that
gave us Know-nothingism, but a lit
tie reflection will show that it could
not have come from any other. The
South both needs people and has no
prejudice against any nationality or
religion, and from the habit
of the past fifteen years
would hardly take the initia-
tive in raising any great question
which affects that section less than it
does others. The reasoning of the
enemies of Chinese immigration,
that the vast influx of foreigners
must tend 10 increase the supply of
labor and lower wages, both from
the necessity and habits of the immi-
grants, needs only more extended
to reach to all foreigners.
IL would be strange, therefore, if the
demand for restrictive measures
should find favor in that quarter. |
The vastly accelerated influx of
is too important matter
to pass without attracting renewed |
and greater interest than has been
given it in the past decade"

The Know-Nothing party became
the American party, and the Amcri-
can party in turn BECAME the Re-
publican party. 1t is natural, with
the decay of Republicanism and
the failure of the Infantllc De-
mocracy, that Republicans will
begin to return to their first
love. See how it crops out in a
great organ ofthe Republican party.
The Neo York Tribune says:
at is to be hoped, however, that
the remarkable movement OF large
masses of foreigners to our shores
will .slacken. before long. We can
BEAUTIFULLY assimilate one or two
hundred thousand strangers annu-
ally, but when over half a million
come we may reasonably feel some
apprehension of the effect which
may be produced upon our public
and private life. We want to keep
what is best in the American charac-
ter for the great nation of the future
which we are building up, and do
not want it swamped or badly di-
luted by too heavy an overflow from
abroad"
Foreigners do not leave their
native lands to transfer to Amer
lea monarchial ideas. but they
come to the United States, be-
cause they desire to live in q free
country and under republican
forms of government. The Germans
and Swedes who have settled in
Travis county, for instance, are in
tensoly republican, and these and
others throughout the country would
be IS ready 10 defend our popular
forms of government as any native
Americans. These foreign immi-
grants become imbued with patriot
ssin andsare noted for conservatism,
and whenthis cry begins against hon
est Europeans coming to our shores,
Just as has been raised against the
Chinese, in California, it is time to
become alarmed. The Tribune
would have the Chinese rule, of per-
uniting only q given number of Ger
mans or Englishmen to enter any
American port on any single vessel.
AS the Republican says, this is the
first note of this nature which has
been sounded of late years. In the
days Of Known othingism this phase
Of the Immigration question was dis
cussed with great freedom, often
with passion and seldom without

In the case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company v. Neil, Judge
Bonner, of the Supreme Court, de-
livered an opinion defining for the
first time in Texas the law of tele-
graphy. The court decides that
while telegraph companies are pub
lie institutions, bound to serve the
public impartially and in good faith,
with diligence in proportion to the
responsibility assumed, still their
liability for the performance of
duties does not rest on the
rules governing common carriers.
They are not insurers, by simple
reason of their occupation, but may
make reasonable rules and regula-
tions by contract. restricting their
liability for damages occasioned by
delay or error. IN transmitting the
message, unless caused byNwa of
due care or willful negligence, to ten
times the amount paid for sending
the message, as is done in
the form of contract for the
night or half-rate message in use by
the Western Union Company; that
a simple unexplained discrepancy
between the message as sent and as
delivered is not prima .tdcie evil
dence ofsuch negligence, or of want
OF care; that a person who receives
and acts on message that he knows
is ambiguous, which he in fact does
OF rightly understand, is guilty of
cOntributory negligence; that the
condition requiring messages 10 be
repeated at reasonable cost in or
der to secure accuracy, is reasonable
and valid; that when a person finds
himself injured by the error or
wrong of another, he can not stand
idle and suffer damages to accumu-
late, which, by reasonable diligence,
he might, in whole or in part, avoid,
and then recover for all.

REPORTS from financial centers

REPORTS from financial centers
show that a deep laid scheme has
lately been laid to cause a panic in
the stock markets. A few days ago
reference was made to the fact that
plan for causing the transmission
of fraudulent reports in the pr, So re-
ports had been discovered, but the
rascals who engineered the job have
not been discovered. The purpose
was to break down prices of stock
by which a yillainous ring could
possibly make millions. Large
amounts of stocks were apparently
placed upon the market, that
they might appear to have changed
hands at, reduced figures, while re-
potts as to the failure of the wheat
crop have been exaggerated, and it
was said that there was to be a grand
break down in pooling rates among
railways. These and many other
things were used to influence the
condition of the stock market, and
in spite of, these efforts prices have
yielded only temporarily, and
no sooner were declines effected
than reaction came, and there
is as much confidence as ever,
and as great disposition to
speculate. This freedom in specu-
lation has its good effect upon Texas,
and it is matter of moment to us
that the speculative fever continue
undated, bringing as it does to this
country vast quantities of foreign
capital, and placing American rail-
way builders in better condition
than eyer before to continue con-
struction for these vast northwestern
systems. Were revolution to take
place in the price of stocks it would
at once tell in decreased activity
in building railways in Texas
and Mexico. We want the
day of stock panic long
removed, for Tex2se reaps a
rich harvest from the present buoy
ant condition of all classes of inn
provement securities. The low rates
of interest fixed in government SCI
curities, has led many private indi-
viduals to make permanent in
vestments in stocks, and this in q
great measure will protect the coun-
~ from the evil effects of plans |
devised in the interest of stock |
spectators.
