How to Treat Your Watch.

Wind 1t up at the same time every day,
Keep 1t in as even temperature as possible
Sudden transition from heat to cold may
cause the handspring TO break. Ifyou would
keep it clean never put 1t in any pocket ex-
cept one of leather. Those poca cts which are
lined with clOth, cotton or calico, give by the
constant friction q certain fluff. which enters
most Watch Cases and makes its way to the
delicate parts of the watch. See that the pock-
ct is turned and clean often, and take an old
linen handkerchief and wipe carefully all the
dust from under the backs. bezel and cap of
the case. But above all you must be sure
that the Case fits firmly and to be sure OF this,
select one where the parts (center, backs, cap,
&c. are each made nom one piece of metal.
The JAMES BOSS PATENT STIFFENED OR
FILLED GOLD WATCH CASE is so made, and
not only does such o Watch Case become
stronger and At more perfectly, built enables
the manufacturer to turn and form threepiec-
es of metal (tke outer ones being gold and he
inner one of an inferior metal) into shape for
the round parts. making to all appearances
and practical purposes just as good Watch
Case as the solid gold, at about one-half the
cost to the purchaser.
There are nearly one hundred thousand OF
these Watch Cases now carried, and their good
qualities are ack nowledged by the same num-
Der OF happy possessers.

1t Is not right that thou shouldst

A Million Of Immigrants this Year.

Nothing bearing on the develop
ment and increase IN population and
wealth of the American States is
more interesting than the study of
the foreign immigration. Last year
Mr.. Nimmo, Chief of the Bureau of
Statistic, states that the arrivals of
Immigrants reached the extraOrdi-
nary number of 720, 0l5-the greatest
number on record in any single year.
Assuming that each Immigrant has
in his brain aud muscle Il power
equal to ~ capital of 81 400. we gained
in the year 1881 alone, something like
S7Z0, 000, 900 and a cash capital lat
$50 head) of over SOL 100000. The
immigration of the year exceeded by
10000 the aggregate population in
1880 ofthe eight organized Territories
of Arizona, Dakota, Idaho. Montana,
New Mexico, Utah. Washington and
Wyoming and the State of Nevada.
1t exceeded the population of twelve
States of the Union, as reported by
the census of 1880.
The Indications are that tn foreign
immigration of 1882 will far oulstrip
even that of last year. The arrivals

at New York for the first three
months of 1882 were about $4,000,
against 1881 for the first three
months of 1881. At Philadelphia on
Friday, twelve hundred Immigrants
arrived from Europe, and imme.
diately took the cars for the West.
This is sample of the way they are
already comingi in. fthe New York
Increase of forty per cent. for the past
three months of the year should be
maintained for the remaining nine
months, the arrivals of 1882 will
aggregate one million immigrants.
This rush of Europeans to America
Is the greatest movement of people
the world has ever known.
An examination of the immigra.
ton of last year reveals these impor.
tant facts: Twenty per cent. of the
arrivals were under fifteen years of
age, the males slightly preponderat-
ing. This youthful portion easily
assimilates. Seventy per cent. are
in the reproductive period of life, be.
tween fifteen and forty years of age,
forty six per cent. being males and
twenty-four females. Ten per cent.
only exceed forty years, in the ratio
of six males to four females. Not
more than ten per cent. of the i'm
migrants come with habits rigidly
formed or political or social ideas
permanently fixed. The comparative
youthfulness of those who seek homes
here explains the rapid increase of
our population, and the exceedingly
rapid process of their assimilation.
The peaceful blending of many ma
tionalities has resulted in the "sur-
yival of the fittest" All who settle
in the States and Territories become
Americanized, and part of the most
numerous English. speaking nation
on the earth.
A paper in the North American
Review for April, on this subject of
immigration, presents a curious fact
which speaks eloquently of the part
of foreign immigration in advancing
our National prosperity and growth.
The population of the United States
by the first census of 1890 was $685.
S29. If the increase had been con-
fined to the excess of births over
deaths, the population in 1880, the
writer estimates, would not have been
fifteen million. Without immigra.
ton the country would not have had
90, 0O0. 900 for hundred years to come.
whence, it appears" says the Re-
view, "that the population and con-
sequent expansion of the settled
area, the development of agriculture,
manufactures. mining and railways.
as we'll as of domestic and foreign
trade, haye been anticipated more
than three, quarters of century by
the quiet inflnx of Europeans"

Fort Sumter.

Twenty-one years ago, April 18Th
1851. ut hali-past 4 in the morning,
the War of the Rebellion began.
That was the faieful hour that saw
the first shell discharged from the
howitzer bettery on James Island at
Fort Sumler. For some months ear
lier the hosts of Secession had been at
work all over the South, combining
themselves however, to manifestoes
and prnclainationSa and resolutions and
general clustering on.paper. But the
moment the first shell had left the
hattery'S thnat that April morning
blnMiy contest was on. which was
not To end until the morning of April
9th, 1865. when Lee should unc0ndi-
tionally surrender at Appomattox
Court House. Thousands of those
who read this paragraph will feel
something of the old loyal thrill as
they recall the particulars of the benz
bardment of Fort Sumter. Ander-

to surrender; the bombardment that
followed the evacuation of Sumter,
with its impressive attending cere-
mony of prayer and salule;-these

stirring chapter of the history of the
war.
How for away and unreal il all
seems, looked at from these piping
times of peace! But we may be sure
that so long as the Republic endures
Anderson and his garrison will live
in the hearts of their county, 1t is
interesting to note that of all the Off
