Our postal money-order system. estab-
lished primarily to accommodate the pub
lie. is meeting with success in every
way which is remarkable. 1t was put in
operation Nov. 1, 1864, under an act of
Congress passed in MAY previous, and in
the last fiscal year more than 100000
orders were issued. representing over
$500. 900 900. The fees charged amounted
to S9f7 .09l, which left n net profit on the
business to the government of S257 .575.
So perfect safeguard is afforded by the
system that not one order in hundred
thousand is paid to the wrong person, al
though the papers are not unfrequently
lost or stolen. The United States has now
a system OF exchanges of postal orders
with number of other countries. and it
is expected that the list will. in the near
future. be considerably enlarged. The
first arrangement of the kind was made
with Switzerland in 1869. and then fol-
lowed Great Britain in 1871. Germany in
1872, Canada in 1875. Italy in 1877, and
France in 1880.

Terrific Storm.
Steamer Arrow mith, which took an ex-
cursion party down the Potomac, yesterday
encountered terrific storm of wind and rain
off Bluff Point, which came up the river from
the Chesapeake. One life boat was lifted off
the hurricane deck and carried about 200
yards. The storm, although of short dura-
ton, was quite as violent as the one We'd
nesday night. The steamer was forced
against the water, and her side above the
lower deck was crushed in, but it did not dis
able her. On shore, trees, bath hOnses and
wagons were overturned, and other damage
done. The steamer left for home immed-
lately after the storm, and arrived safely at
half past nine o'clock at night.
Sir Edward Thornton Recalled.

Edward Thorton, late British Minister, to the
Executive Mansion, where Sir. Edwin pre-
scented to the President letters of Her Ma
jesty recalling him from the post which he
has so long occupied, as envoy plinipoten-
tiary of the British Government in the L. S.
Sir Edward expressed his regret at leaving
this Country, but was consoled to know Of
the friendly relations between England and
the United States, and his rejoicing at the
high state Of prosperity of the Country. The
President in response, spoke of the long and
able services of the minister, and of the zeat
and ability with which he strove to engraft
the principles of international arbitration
upon the law of nations, and in establishing
what we trust, may be beneffcient rule for
the future conduct of all governments.
Continuing, the President said SIN saying
good-bye cherish the hope Sir Edward
Thornton, that you will carry with you as
agreeable remembrances of your long resi-
dence in this country as we shall retain of
you, and sincerely wish to you and to the
members of your family pleasant journey
to your far distant post, and a prosperous
and happy future

Demand for Labefers.

The demand for labor in this country is
unprecedented Though immigrants are
focking here in such numbers as never
before, they are insufficient to supply the
demand for laborers, and advertisements
have been sent into most Of the countries
in Europe to induce more working-m to
come to America. One company alone.
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Com
pany, is advertising in England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales for ten thousand la
borers. Another railroad company, un-
able to obtain the laborers it needs, pro-
poses to send 10 China tor help. In near
ly all departments of labor. common and
skilled, from the man who can only WELD
the pickaxe, and the housemaid who can
do little but scrub and wash, up through
the various grades Of labor to the highest,
there is a call for help, at fair wages.
In this state Of things no man who can
work need be idle or go hungry. If there
are men having the capacity to work and
yet are found from day to day doing moth
ing the fault is their own, and not attribut-
able to the times. the government. the
niggardly parsimony Of capitalists, or any
political party in existence. There is
glut Of employment. There is harvest
for laborers who are willing and able to
work. East, West. North and South in
the United States the demand exists.
And there is no prospect that it will
soon decrease. New enterprises are pro-
jected that will be carried out which will
call for immense outlays Of labor. The gov
eminent is ably administered, the public
debt and orr annual expenditures are de-
creasing. our relations with foreign pow
ers are improving and our interests abroad
being carefully promoted. and these con-
our institutions and the present admins
iration. serve 10 make men bold in their
business movements and eager to extend
and render them permanent and strong.
No party can flourish in such times as
these on fault-fndings about the want of
labor. and the grasping rapacity of en-
ployers. The demagogues cannot harp
upon that story this year with any hope of
success Labor is abundant. its rewards
are on fair scale and certain. and to peo-
pie living under our laws and institutions
this is enough to open the way to COM

How Watches are Made.

1t Will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary soldity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE ofprecious metal is over
come, and the SAME SoLIDITY AND SIREN 9TH
produced at from one third to one half OF the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature as follows: 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 a strip of heavey plated composition,
from which the cases. backs, centres, bezels,
&C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient
ly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, en-
craving and enameling; the engraved casses
have been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the gold
