How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver tllrous }.o.s5. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made Of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs Of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those Of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
keystone SilverWa tch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

JAMES G. BLAINE.
A NOn-Partisan Reception from the Bust.
ness Men of Portland.
Portland Me- special]

The reception to Mr.. Blaine by the business
men of this city, at the City Hall to-night, was
a brilliant one. The hall was packed, the seats
having been removed and the audience stand
ing. while the galleries were filled with ladies.
Mr.. Blaine held the reception in the Mayors Of
form, leaning upon Congressman Reeds arm,
End being received with great cheering. Mr..
Reed, in a happy speech. presented the business
larly, that if he attempted to present them
individually it would soon be apparent that
Mr.. Blaine was better acquainted with them
George Woodman, as spokesman of the mer-
chants, read an address to Mr.. Blaine, signed
by over 800 business men and firms OF this CITY,
The address, after expressing g, atification that
citizen of Maine had been made the recipient
of the Presidential nomination, says:
Although we have not been able to agree with
confidence in your integrity as man and your
purity and ability as statesman, and we are
united in q conviction that, should the people
of the United States ratify the choice of your poll
tcal associates. you will give the.country an ad-
ministration unrivaled in it's wise solictude
and practical measures for the promotion of all
our material interests. and for its painstaking
care tor the publication and perfection of all the
public service. --z- >',a.s.
Mr. Blaine replied rs follows:

BY LAYILLA 3, ALLEN,

It sped away, the fairy thing,
Borne gently on Zypher wing:
Silvered and kissed by sunny rays
That DER q summer landscape plays.
Far up In air 1t sails awhile,
Wooing the heecy cloudlet's smile,
Then gently settles to the earth
To kiss the soil that gave 1t birth.
A Judas klss that will betray .
Dear Mother Earth yet many day;
Far and near on fallOw ground
Thistles and thOrns long years abound
A little whispered word went forth,
None ever knew from whence its birth.
It only limited at the shame
That soon would fall on one fair NAME
The tidings few, the evil thought
To one pure soul with ruin fraught
Had done its work with fiendish art
Sad work, a maiden's broken heart!

Fly on thy bright seraphic wing;
Scatter the seeds of kindness wide,
And Faith and Hope will then abidel

louisville (Kv.) special.1


In 1876 the Paris True Kentuchian, a weekly
paper printed at Paris, Ky, published scandal
GUS story to the effect that while James G.
Blaine was teaching school at Georgetown, KY,
he had seduced pretty New England girl, who
was & teacher in Miss Iackson's fashionable
boarding col Tor young ladies at Lexington
This same pa: er also declared that, when the
matter became public, Elaine fed from popular
indignat1on, taking the young lady with him.
The Frankfort YeOn1aM. a semi weekly Demo-
cratic orgau, Of which J. Stodda: d Johnston is
the editor, followed up the story printed
in the Paris he,.t,tckia.t with another one Of
much the same import. Shortly after these
scandals bad begun to go the roun IS, and not
long before the National Republican Convention
in 1876, the Cou'ier-./nuf"ak sent a reporter to
investigate thu charges, and the resu was a
complete vindication of tn statesman's charac-
ter and the lady's virtue. The f'o't'ieI-|n"amal

A representative of the New York X,'0id, who
had been sent to Scott and Eayette Counties to
inquire into the true inwartness OF the scandal,
returned to Louisville to-day. To might, in
conversation with your correspondents, this gen
tlenlan declared that the charges were utterly
without foundation, and had been invented by
a few old maids aud village gossips who envied
the young woman her dashing lover.
