The First Watch.

At first the watch was about the size
of a desert plate. 1t had weights and
was used as pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1852, which
mentions that Edward vi. had lone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two.plum-
NETS of lead" The first watch may
really be supposed to be of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement was
in 1860. The earliest springs were not
coiled, but only straight pieces of steel.
Early watches had only one hand, and
being wound up twice day, they could
not be expected to keep the time of day
exactly. The dia's were OF silver and
of brass; the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front and were
four or five inches in diameter. A
plain watch cost more than 81, 800, apd
after one was ordered it took a year 70

A letter from Mexico says the brig
ands are waking up to the fact that
their occupation is gone. Rapid travel
is bringing them more surely into the
clutches of the law. A gang of wreck
ers were pursued and shot less than
month ago in the State of Murango
The leader of the band was we'll known
to tho Mexican public by sight and
through a record of daring deeds and
bloody crimes. Young and boyish in
appearance, handsome, dashing, and SO
brave and beloved by the entire clan of
eighteen brigands that the identity of
this chief was never betrayed or sus-
pected. The other day the rurales
tracked them down, sent eight bullets
through the Captains heart, and de-
stroyed the whole band, not leaving
one to tell the story. They then
learned that the handsome bandit boy
was only bit of successful masquer-
aiding, and was a lady Chicago Times.

CLEVELAND, Sept 29-Mr Blaine's trip
from Buffalo to this point was a pleasant one.
At every point where the train stopped there

went down to the balcony and standing there
with his running mate" bowed to the i'm
