the highest degree; in fact equals fac
tory work by the introduction of watch
making lathes. These are finished as
highly and true as the finest mathe-
NAUTICAL instruments and are quite ex-
pensive; but watch repairing, with their
assistance, actually reaches perfection.
Mr.. Ed. '. Seutter, years ago when
North, invested hisearnings in acomplete
siMosely Lathe, and is an expert in its
use, and in repairing of watches gener-
ally.
Medals, gold and silver bangles and
charms are also turned out beautifully
on this machine, to be engraved BY
E. Y. Seutter, ST., who had the talent
and nerve, long ago, to master engrav-
ing-a branch indispensable to a first
class and complete Jewelry establish
ment.
Mr. Seutter makes nocharge for hand
someEy engraving rings and other small
articles bought at his Jewelry store,
while long inscriptions and monographs

sonable rates. 1t

Sainte-Beuve. the eminent critic, was
once engaged III duel. While the pre-
liminaries were being arranged, it began
TO rain slightly, and the author of :" Vol
upte," who had prudently brought his
umbrella with him, held it over his head
with one hand, while he firmly grasped
his sword with the other. This proceed
ing being objected to by the seconds as
irregular, he coolly replied that it was
quite sufficient for him to risk his life
without running the chance of catching
cold into the bargain.
He however did not lack courage,
which is more than can be said OF one of
his colleagues, who, finding himself I'M
der the necessity of accepting chal-
lenge, only consented to do 30 ON being
confidentially informed by his second
that in the present case the duel was
merely matter Of form, and that his
adversary would take care not to hit
him. Somewhat comforted by this as
surance, he repaired TO the scene of
action, and the distance--twenty-f five
paces-haying been duly measured,
boldly faced his opponent, who, on the
signal being given, blazed away, and
neatly perforated the critics hat just
hall an inch above the head.
"Confound it I" he exclaimed TO his
second, who was congra.ulating him ON
his gallant bearing. "Why didn't you
tell me that lac was going to spoil my
new hat? would have put ON an old
one"

TINE FIFE TENORs.

story is told in most Partisan green
rooms of 1.-THE Manager and the Five
Tenors." The manager had engaged a
French operetta troupe to perform in a
city OF South America. He was the
most polite and generous of managers.
He offered high terms, promised his
proteges benefit apiece, made the best
arrangements for their comfort on the
voyage out, and at last had the satisfac-
ton OF steaming off with them all. The
day when they started was line one,
and as soon as the shores Of France had
faded out OF sight the company, to keep
up their spirits, began to sing on deck.

fever ms soon as we land, and promise
that the one who survives shall be my
