How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture Of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over foe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. Therea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
ducing a watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. . r MANY
Over 100000 of these cases < 4
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and

Doctoring Sick Trees.


All the books devoted to horticulture
contain directions for prolonged courses
of treatment for lame, crippled and sick
trees. Some of them give illustrations
of the manner of conducting surgical
operations on trees injured by the wind
agricultural implements, or animals and
insects. Remedies are recommended
for curing chronic and acute cases of
disease. Various sorts OF bandages,
plasters, ointments and supports are
prescribed for trees that have received
different kinds of injuries. Tree doc
tors who have not written works on
arboreal diseases often recommend reme-
dies and courses of treatment. There
are quack tree doctors as we'll as pro-
fessional tree doctors. Some of the
former compound medicines and sell
them at high prices. A few have made
fortunes by the sale of nOstrums. Now
it is generally bad economy to under
take to do any thing to diseased, brok
en-, or wounded tree. If it is email and
of q common variety, the best thing to
do with it is to dig 1t up and throw it
away. The chances are that no amount
OF doctoring will make good, sound,
and vigorous tree of it. It's life may be
prolonged few years, but it will gener-
ally remain stunted and sickiy. If it
produces one crop of blossoms or frdit
it will ordinarily die from exhaustion.
The cost of medicine and treatment will
be much greater than the value of the
products. When it succumbs to lin
gering disease there will be vacant place
that must be filed. It would have been
better in every respect to have had the
vacancy occur before the remaining
trees became SO large. Most varieties
of trees are cheap. If few of those
planted become sick or injured it is the
best plan to dispose of them as quickly
as possible.

The democrats having somewhat
subsidized from their great joy, are
now casting about for the loaves and
fishes, with more or less fear as to
who will be disappointed. Meantime
the republicans are becoming the hap
piest people of the continent. The
recent conflict has been so close, that
the responsibility of the result rests
upon all the odds and ends compos-
ing the entire opposition combination.
Curtis who made the remark about
the ''hunger." and "thirst'' of the
democratic party, is already begin
ming to hedge. He says he don't
know what Cleveland will do but
thinks he will do right-an early
letting down. The ''eminent re-
spectability' or leaders of the indie
pendents, are suffering most. They
tell us what we ought to be in high
toned sovereignty and language te
correspond, but it is evident they
fear what will be. For them the sit
uation the next few months is full
of painful uncertainty-eXceedinG
that of an official count.-Times.

The poor blacks of the south have
not yet emerged from the dense ig-
norance in which they were found in
the war for the Union which resulted
in their emancipation. Hence their
fright at the unexpected ascendency
of the party which opposed their
freedom. In the treatment they have
received in the denial of many rights
and privileges since their emancipa-
ton, 1t is very natural that they
should fear they are again to be sold
into slavery. OF course no intelli-
gent or reasonable person of any
party expects any such thing, and if
Cleveland and his party have any
such regard for the legal rights, to
say nothing of the feelings, of the
colored people, as they profess, let
them give an early assurance to these
people over whom so many genera
tions of ignorance have passed, and
thus calm their fears and give conf
dence TO the country.

The official count by counties il

The official count by counties in
New York was practically closed on
Saturday, leaving Cleveland little
over 100 votes ahead, and with the
vote of his own state he is elected
president. The electoral vote there
fore stands, Blaine 1872, Cleveland
219. There were several errors, but
nothing affecting over one or two
hundred votes.
The vote in New York is thus very
close in a total of over one million.
There is still another state board to
make an official count at Albany, but
it can vary only few votes from the
return of the county boards, whose
returns are as follows: Cleveland,
SOS, 104 Blaine, sci, 999; st. John,
25,178; Butler, 6,988; Cleveland S
plurality, Jos. 1t will be seen that
the total vote is 1 ,167, 269. Blalne's
plurality outside of New York city is
1850.
