wANTED-HARMONT.

If there is any political cOnundrum at
the present time that is pulling Repub.
lican statesmen more than another, it
is how to harmonic and mobilize the
'grand old party" 1t is getting un-
comfortably near the Presidential year
for an aspiring party to be cut up into
so many discordaut elements.
An influential organ makes the pro-
clamation that "the certain and sutd-
cient harmOnizer of the Republican
party is the policy of protection" On
this issue it is asserted, Mr.. CONKIING
and Mr.. BLAINE, Mr.. LOGAN and Mr..
CURTIS, Mr.. CAMERON, Mr.. KASSON
and Mr.. EATON would join hands"
The eminent representatives of the
party enumerated in the above list
will be recognized as constituting the
chief lights Of the Stalwart wing which
is understood to be badly demOralized,
and the proposition is to bring them
back to the fold by a vigorous espouSal
of the policy of protection!
To those not entirely oblivious to the
recent history Of the diSsensions which
have led to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in the Republican ranks, it will be news
to learn that any of these sulking lead
ers were soured by difference Of Opin-
ion upon the doctrine of protection,
and that their peculiar personal and
party animosities can be healed by
joining hands upon any such Ito them
trif1ing consideration rs governmental
policy.
In discussing this proposition, the
Boston Herald, wise Republican pa
Fer, hits the nail on the head when it
says: "Neither Mr.. BLAINE nor Mr.
notwithstanding that these gen
tlemen retain their interest in politics
cares anything shout protection except
as policy to carry elections with.
And they care nothing about carrying
elections except for the power which it
would give them, and the qualification
they would feel at realizing their ambi-
ton and being able to dispense the enOr-
nous patronage Of the govern
ment. Protection, if it be vital
as a National policy, was just
rs important before as it was
after the Maine election in the early fall
Of 1850. But until disaster had over

but wave the bloody shirt and shout

cess in this. owing largely to the cow
ardice Of the Democrats, the Republic
can leaders have stuck to it ever
since. But the scare and the
deception are both pretty thoroughly
exposed, and the elections Of this year
will emphasize the popular demand for
a reduction in taxes. The Re
publican party will undoubtedly be
Obliged to give more regard to princi-
pies and less to men before IL can be
again consolidated and inspired with
common purpose and q fighting zeal
sgainst an opposing organization. But
the protective policy alone will not har-
monte it. There is no fusing force In
the proposition to make country rich
and prosperous by excessive taxation"

GOVERNOR Ben. thinks it would
help his Presidential boom, perhaps, to
hold the next Democratic convention
in Boston. If he couldn't capture it
there it couldn't be done anywhere. 1t
Is assumed that as the Boston Demo-
Gratis have now thoroughly reclaimed
the city from Republican domination
it Is no more than fair that they shonld
be thus recognized. FREDERICK o.
PRINCE puts it thus: 1--WE have never
held National convention in Boston,
and in view of this fact, and that Bos-
ton Is now an assured Democratic city;
that it has an excellent hall capable Of
holding an audience of 10000; that it
has ample hotel ACCOMMODATIONS, and
that the weather in the season when
the convention will probably be held is
likely to be pleasant and cool, l think
the National committee should give
our claim for the honor their serious
consideration

THE PrOhibitiOnists Of Ohio will hold
their State Convention on the 18th Of
June, halfway between the Republic
can and Democratic Conventions, and
will probably put full ticket in the
field after their custom. When the Re-
publicans in the Ohio Legislature SUBJ
mitted a prohibitOry amendment and
passed the SCOTT bill, which combines
high license and local option, they be-
lieved that these large concessions
would satisfy the ProhibitiOnists and
secure for the party the cordial support
Of that faction. But they reckOned
without their host. BY their maladroit
management the Republican leaders Of
Ohio have succeeded in giving deadly
ofIense to the whisky element, and are
as far as ever hOm cOnciliating the
leaders among the PrOhibitionists.

Though dear old Nature was ptnched and
When shs sent him out to cumber the earth,

And watch his ways so awfany ny.

The Raid ut Bellows Falls.

July %, on complaint of grand
juror Slate of this place, a liquor raid
was made on Towns hotels. Mr..
Town claimed that the cause was per-
sonal enmity and promptly closed his
houses, leaving Bellows Falls since
without hotels of any kind. A petition
for special town meeting was issued
the same day signed by a large number
of citizens. for the purpose of electing
a juror in the place of Slate. A meet
ing held on Thursday afternoon last
was largely attended and they elected
Levant M. Read in place of Slate with
out dissenting voice, the meeting not
being in session over ten minutes.
The hotels have been opened to the
public again. Towns hotel has been
largely repaired, reprinted and i'm
proved during the past two weeks
General pleasure was evinced at the
opening by the business public. The
Island house, summer hotel, has Il

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion OF the
precious metal:used is needed only.t st fen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidty and strength
The surplus gold is needless so far as UTILITY
and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the
SAME soLlDIrY AND STRENGTH produced ct
from one third to one-half OF lhe usual cost
of solid cases. This process is of the most
simple nature. as follows a plate of nickle
metal, especially adapted to the
purpose. has two plates of SOLID GOLD solder
ed one on each side The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and
the result is a strip of heavy plated compost
ton, from which the cases, hacks, centres,
beZels. &c, are bent and shaped by suitable
dies end formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds Of
chasing, engraving and enamellng the en-
graved cases have been carried until worn
perfectly smooth by time and use without re-
moving the gold
