General sherman,s Wealth.

General Sherman has received as
gifts in the share of houses and pres
ents the value of 5000 since he has
held his present place as General of
the army, says Washington CORE
spondent. This, of course does not
include the diamonds given to his
daughter, Mrs. Fitch, by the Khedive
of Egypt, ana since divided up in sets,
4 set for each olhis daughters. These
diamonds are worth more than $40
600. For the past fifteen years he
has received q salary of ST., 800 per
year. He viii continue to receive this
princeIy salary as long as he lives, as
his retirement does not affect it in any
way. Two of his daughters -OnC
who lives with her husband in Phila
delphia, and Mrs. Fitch, who lives il
St. Louis-are wealthy on their Owl
account.
General Sherman has been a yer,
careful liver, and has spent but little
money. For a great part of the tim,
he spent in Washington he has occu
pied q suite of rooms at a hotel, Twin!
in q modest and inexpensive way
The rest Of the time he occupied on
of his several fine houses. There is
general impression chat he gave
great many entertainments, but thi.
is incorrect, as he has never givel
over four entertainments in any on,
year since he was in command of tn
army. The salary that he will receiv,
on the retired list is the largest paid
or ever paid by the government t
any one. 1t is more than twice til,
amount paid to q cabinet officer, who
necessarily has TO entertain twenty
times as much. In no one year ha.
General Sherman spent One-half 0
his salary. He must, therefore, have
q very nice bank account. Neither
will he give IL to ''the boys" to boom
him for the Presidency. He says he
don't want the Presidency, and won't
take it if offered him. He looked as
fresh and burly as he entered the Wal
Department recently as he did twenty
years ago, and yet he INDUCES in late
suppers and does all his writing after
he returns from the theatre at night
frequently sitting up until two O'Clock
in the morning.

In conformity with time-hOnOred
custom of New England, and in ac-
cordance with the proclamation of the
President of the United States, APP

of November, next, as a day OF
thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God for the innumerable blessings
which he has bestowed upon our COM

in the sanctuary and in the household
give fitting expression to their graft
tude and gladness. In the happy OBJ
servance of the harvest festival by
the reunion Of families and friends,

be forgotten, but let their wants be
relieved by that charity which is twice
blessed-blessing him that gives and
him that receives.

The CoNTINENT WEEKLY MAGAZINE
was started by Philadelphian, and
in Philadelphia but from the day
that Judge Tourgee acquired the prop
crty it was destined for New York.
The only question was As to when the
move should be made to that CITY,
which has now become the literary. as
well as the commercial metropolis of
the country. simultaneously with
this move, which is announced in an
advertisement in another column, The
Century publishes an extraordinary
array Of advantageous offers to sub
scribers, especially to those who are
in the habit of reading other periodi-
Gals, who will do well to examine The
Continents accumulation Rates" be-
fore providing their periodical reading
for the coming year. Tile Continent
has made its place in a field hitherto
unOccupied, and it is wonder that the
idea of "a weekly magazine, like the
| monthlles, but of more frequent pub
licatiOn," as the Philadelphia LedgeJ'
puts 1t, was never thought Of before.
1t promises an attractive array of
good things for the future, and begins
the season with remarkable serial
by Orpheus G. Kerr" entitled "Once
There Was a Man, which is "story,"
Of the good old fashioned kind, but
the Unsuitable humorIst has introduced
into the work, which is carefully
written and important novel, a subtle
bit of ridicule which will set the coun-
try roaring as the joke develops.
Special terms are offered to those who
subscribe from the beginning Of this
serial, which is handsomely illustrate
ed, and all who are not familiar with
THE Continent are invite to ask for
I specimen.

How Watch Cas.'s are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE aside from the neces-
eary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiden and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-itting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss Gold H'atch Case -.,r y MARI
which saves the WASTE of need ) .
less gold, and INCREASES the sOLIDITY and
STRENGTH Of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Moving III achines.

This item is a little out Of season,
but then, it IS true. Some 20 years
ago, Noah Scribner. Of johnson, and
Orange Buck, Of Cambridge, were
partners selling the W. \. Wood
moving machine. There was to be a
big trial in Stowe. Here Mr.. Serb
ner was well known; Mr.. Buck was
q stranger. The war was then active,
help scarce, and the farmers were
promptly on hand, ready to buy and
pass over their greenbacks for the
best. Mr.. Scribner was early on
hand, with \ good machine and a
team suited for the occasion, where
he found a dozen or 50 agents repre-
senting different mowers and interests.
The "triaH' commenced and every
thing passed off smoothly, when q
red headed farmer, from somewhere,
put in an appearance and wanted two
mowers for himself and one for bis
ncighbor. He talked a good deal.
and it was apparent that he knew
something about moving machines
and how to handle them. He trieC
