How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Cases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from AZ to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. It is NOT economy to buy
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an expert
nent-it has been made nearly thirty gears.

Commissioner Evans has rendered
a decision in the case of Hostetter's
bitters. He has caused an analysis
of the compound to be made. The
analysis shows that the bitters are
composed of GA parts water, doctors

parts flavoring. The commissioner
holds that when the beverage is
sold in good faith as medicine it
shall pay no tax, but when sold as a
drink it must pay tax the same as
when whisky is retailed. Probably
all dealers will now swear they sell
it to get people drunk

The Philadelphia Times brings for
ward these four indications of a
sound business condition throughout
the country, Notwithstanding the re-
cent heavy failures in certain lines of
business 1.-THE crops are good, mon
ey is plenty, the great bulk of the
manufactures are running, and the
savings banks deposits are increas-
ing" The significance of the last
named fact may be weakened some
what by the probability that, owing
to the stagnation in the stock market
during the past few months and the
uncertainty as to investments. con-
siderable amounts of money have
found their way into the savings
banks that cannot be legitimately
classed as Savings" And yet the
showing of the New York institutions
for savings is indicative of general
prosperity. The reports for the first
half of the current year show that
twenty-four savings banks in New
York city hold deposits to the amount
of 1882 900, 900, belonging to 593 ZOO
depositors, OF about one-half the to-
tai population. The average is 1857
to each depositor. The deposits
have increased $6,O00,OOO in six
months, and the depositors nearly
5000. Taken in connection with the
other facts of the situation, these fig
ures show that, however it may be in
Wall street, the general state of bust
ness is hopeful.

THE NEW WAR IN THE EAST.

France has at length seen fit to
break her mastery inactivity in Ton
quin, and is making a simultaneous
movement against Hue, the capital in
the south, and Namdinh, near Hanoi,
in the north, where "the black flags"
are gathered in large numbers hos
tile to the French. A correspondent
oe the London Daily News telegraphs
from Hong Kong that on the 10Th
inst. an attack was made by the
French on Phoupal, in the direction
of Soutay, strong post seven miles
from Hanoi. The French force was
1000 strong, and the enemy numbered
$4,000 The position was carried,
but was found untenable. A portion
of the troops retreated to the river,
covered by gunboats, while the rest
went in the direction of Hanoi. 1t is
said that the new king of Anam,
| Wan Luen, is more sturdy against
the French than was Tuduc, and
probably the French will seek to set
up some pretender. But the king
will scarcely take authority in the
eyes Of the people, unless he receives
his crown from his lord, the emperor
of China, and China is not disposed
to qualify a French importation as
king of the country. China anc
France come nearer and nearer tt
war, and France already threatens tt
seize cargoes of arms designed TO
Anam. But she has not yet pro
claimed hostiities to China, as sh
is bound to do before she interfere
with neutral commerce with tina
power.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.

CAMP HAMPTON, Snake River, Aug.
20. The Presidents party reached
this camp after travelling about Is
miles along the foot hills between the
Shoshone and Teton Mountains.
The camp is named in honor of Sen
ator Wade Hampton, who was ex-
pected to accompany the party. Its
location is on bluff on the Snake
River, facing the entire range of the
Teton Mountains. Judge Rollins
shot and brought in his first antelope
to-day. All kinds of game abound in
the vicinity of the camp. Nearly all
the party were engaged to-day in an
| Cling for trout, the President and
Senator Vest outstripping the rest
and vieing with each other for the
supremacy. Each landed 21a
pound trout from the bluff facing the
camp. The fact was witnessed by
the entire command. Their catch fol
the day was much larger than for any
previous day during the trip. A

Russia, like the United States, is
suffering from the destruction of for
ests, the reckless cutting down of
trees threatening, according to the
Novoe Vremya, to convert some of
the best wooded provinces into a
barren waste. Since 1864 the Min
istry of the Domains has made at
tempts to prescribe general rules for
preserving the forests, but the con-
slant opposition of private interests
has stood in the way. M. Ostrovsky,
Minister of the Domains, is now OF
the opinion that it is time to return
to the doctrine of Peter the Great
who placed the forests under lmpe'
rial administration, an arrangement
which was abolished by Catherine L J
in favor of the nobility.

The Canada Southern Railroad Co.
have contracted for a bridge across
the Niagara River at a point about
800 feet above the present suspen-
sion bridge, to be finished by the
first of next December. The bridge
will have clear span of 500 feet be-
tween the towers on each bank. and
will be built of steel. It will be a
cantileyer truss bridge, wide enough
for two tracks, and calculated to sus-
tain the heaviest load that could be
placed upon it by continuous trains
of loaded fteight cars The can't
lever style of bridge has never been
used on very large structures, al
though several bridges of great length
are now being constructed on this
principle. Each shore section is sup
ported by a tower at nearly its mid
die, or centre of weight, the inner
end being anchored and the outer end
approaching a corresponding section
from the other side. In this instance
the projecting sections will be adj
vanced 1917 feet each, making 375
feet together, and the remaining gaE
of 152 feet will be filed by an ordi
nary truss bridge resting on the ends
of the cantilever spans. The stee
towers supporting the cantilever vii
be $50 feet high above the stone
foundations, which will rise 80 fee
| above the water. The bridge will
be stayed against the force of tn

Lord Kimberly in England follows
the lead of Mr.. Charles Francis Adj
ans, Jr., in disparaging the educa-
ton which he received at College. In
a recent address he declared that he
had passed through Elton and Oxford
without having any knowledge of the
geography of the modern world. The
time that should properly have been
devoted to that and other practical
studies was frittered away on sub
jects which afterwards proved TO be
comparatively valueless. He was
glad to know that in England to-day
schools were springing up in which
the young were being educated and
trained for the actual duties of life.

Consul General Badeau, who has
recently arrived from Cuba, presents
rather depressing picture of affairs
in that country. Cuba, he says, is
rushing as fast as possible toward
bankruptcy. Taxes are enormous,
and import duties are vexatious and
severe. Last year the taxes of one
sort and another exceeded the income
of the island. There are no symp-
toms of instruction, but a general
feeling that something must be done
to relieve the strain. AS q matter of
fact, the bad seasons which the island
has experienced for several years
past, and the low prices of sugar,
combined with the high taxes, make
the condition of the Cuban planter
not an enviable one.

A number of people crowded upon
the ferry bridge at the landing at
New Brighton, Staten Island, one af-
ternoon last week. Edgar Brown, a
dock hand, tried to lower the bridge,
when the extra weight of the people
caused the wheel to fly from his grasp.
One of the spokes struck him in the
face, tearing away part of his cheek
and a piece of his upper jaw. An
other spoke broke his shoulder bone.
Although rendered almost uncon-
scious from his wounds the injured
man reached over and dropped the
ratchet pin into the cog that held the
wheel in place, thereby checking the
fall of the bridge, after which he fel
back insensible. But for his bravery
and presence of mind large number
of the one hundred and fifty people
crowded on the swing bridge woulC
have been thrown into the Kill Vol
Kull at a place where the tide runs a
the rate of five miles an hour.

nothing about France. A Dover shop
