The HAUNTED House IN TENNEs-
sEE.-The ghost that inhabits the
haunted house near Jacksborro still
keeps up his racket. Mr.. Walker,
who owned and lived in the house at
the time of the ghosts first appear
ance, vacated the premises several
weeks since, and says all the money in
Tennessee would not induce him to
spend another week in the house. The
ghost sometimes assumes the shape of
a small child, with hands extended,
changes instantly to black cat, then
to a snow white cat; walls, groans and
thumps on the floor, moves the chairs
and at times make an indescribable,
unearthly noise. A stroke or kick
passes through him as it would thro'
flame; follow him up and he melts
away. lie whispers in the face of the
sleeper and the strongest grasp of n
strong man can not hold the bed COW

World says that the simplest plan and
one that will succeed in most cases,
is to scald them thoroughly several
times in boiling water, then dissolve

water, adding little lime to it, and
wash the inside of the vessels well in
the solution. Afterward scald them
several times thoroughly as before.

Bishop Gilmore says that Thomas
Jefferson was the progenitor of dy-
namitism, because he "planted the
seeds of discord in civilized society
when he promulgated the doctrine
that all men are created equal, and
endowed by the Creator with certain
inalienable rights, among them life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happi
ness. The Bishop regards this doc
trine as false in its notions of human
equality, and as the cause ofcommun'
ism, nihilism, and general restless
ness.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GokD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition. from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
NIT of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
