This case Is formed in one solid piece, without
joint or seam opening in front only thus avoid
ing the usual Cap, and securing greater strength
and durability.
These Watches are all open face. The bezel,
into which an extra strong crystal is fitted with
an especially prepared waterproof cement, is
attached to the case by screwirg it thereon, and
thus forms an air-tight junction with the body OF
the case, which is proof against dust and moist
urc.
To railroad men, travellers, miners, lumbermen
and others who are almost constantly exposed
and who have to make frequent reference to the
watch, these qualities are of the utmost import

OWN STORY.

VALDosTA, Ga, July 20, 1851
81 sold one of your Patent Dust-Proof Cases
about ten months ago, and the other day 1t came
back to me with the request TO make it wind
easier. On examination found that the stem
was rusty, and inquired into the cause OF it.
The gentleman stated to me that he was starting
some saw-logs that had lodged in the bend OF
the river, when his chain caught in bush and
threw his watch into about twelve feet Of water,
and he was about two hours finding it When
he got it out it was running, and he thought all
right. In about three months he found that the
stem was hard to turn, and sent it to me.
can say that the watch is all that the Com
pany claims for il, and recommend it to oil rail-
road and mill men.

New York Herald: At last there

change, aEery great and benef'

thing more than mere Office. getting

Ifthe Democrats leaders have
energy and Intelligence the caucus
action OF last evening means a
sweeping Democratic victory next
year. For the frs t time in many
years there is before the party a
fair prospect Of such popular favor
as they have long been seeking by
MANY devious and false roads. At
last they are on the right track.
The caucds vote will surprise a
great many people, One hundred
and eighty eight members were
present. The voting was VIVA
vooE, as it ought always to be, and
on the first ballot Mr. Carlisle had
l06 votes, Mr., Raudall Gfty,two and
Mr.. Cox thirty, most oil whom would
have probably gone TO Mr.. Carlisle
if there had been need for another
ballot. The result is a severe dis
appointment to The Republican poi
iticians, who excIaim illegically
but loudly that it gives them the
next Presidency. BUt the Repub
licans have one comt0rt--they gave
a complimentary Endorsement to
Mr.. Kellor yesterday. They can
