How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from Al to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t Is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.

Breaking a Mustang.

In an entertaining paper in 81. Nicholas
entitled Among the Mustangs" Noah
Brooks gives the following graphic &C.
count of the methods of capturing and
breaking the wild horse of the prairies {:
Riding at full speed, the Mexicans ca
reer over the plains like wild men, whirl-
ing their coiled lariats, or lassos, over
their heads as they fly. Their horses are
covered with foam, and often bleeding
from the cruel spurs with which they are
urged on. The earth trembles under the
tramp of many hoofs beating the solid
ground, as pursuer and pursued gallop
madly far and wide. Suddenly the lariaG
sings through the air, its moose opens
itself and drops over the head of terri
fed fugitive, the hunters steed instantly
braces itself with its forefeet and drops
on its launches, 30 as to make an anchor
age, as it were, for the caught mustang.
And there is no escape now for the cap
tive. The hunter next blinds his prize,
takes turn of the lariat around its fore.
legs, forces a heavy bit into its mouth,
and at once begins to break it to the
saddle. How do you suppose the poor
mustang feels when it finds itself saddled
bridled and straddled by tyrant man
In vain it Jumps stiff.legged,' plunges,
and kicks No animal in the world has
so many tricks and antics as newly-cap-
tured wild horse; but man, its conqueror,
is equal to all of these. In few hours
thepoor beast, so lately free and careless
creature, wild rover of the boundless
plains, is reduced to abject subsection.
Its spirit is broken, and though it may
still retain some of its native viciousness,
it is the slave of its owner. Henceforth
1T never forgets the lasso. 1t knows and
breads the sight of one and if it escapes,
there is very little difficulty in catching it
again. But its rider, too, must never
forget that the hapless captive is only
half-tamed. He must watch it narrowly /;

A Worthless Fellow.

There was rumor afioat at the fort
that Tom O'Halloran was to be discharged
from the regiment for drunkenness, and
everybody was sorry for it. Even though
those were stirring days, and every man
and woman had their heads and hearts
full OF the expedition against the Indians,
for which the regiment was preparing, vet
each had thought of pity for Tom,
word of kindness for Toms mother.
They had, after fashion, belonged to the
regiment longer than any officer or soldier
now included in it, for Toms father had
been band-master from the early days of
the war to his death, which occurred lust
after Tom was enrolled as private, some
five years since; while Mrs. 'Halloran,
whose patience and faithfulness as nurse
were beyond praise, was endeared to al
most every officers family by some battle
with death which they had fought to-
gether. They had more than their share
of Irish beauty, these two, and the gray
eyes which laughed or flashed under
Toms dark brows, were, his defenders
said, very like those which looked at the
world with such gentle kindness from be-
meath his mothers white hair. He was a
strong, clever young Irishmsn, with an
aptitude for doing well anything he was
set to do, from. fighting to masonry, but
with passion for drink which his moth
er's prayers, his colonel's warnings and
his own resolutions were powerless to over
come. Clever aud handsome and brave
as he was, and "Child of the Regiment /"
as he was jokingly called, his officers
would scarcely have had any patience
with his always recurring escapades if it
had not been for his mother, whose love
for him was 80 devoted, and whose faith
in his promises of reform 30 unwavering,
that the hardest hearts (and soldiers
hearts are not very hard ones) always
yielded to her entreaty for another chance
for her boy.
But this time things looked very serious
for poor Tom. He had been drunk while
on duty as a sentry, and being in quar-
relsome humor, had been with difficulty
prevented from knocking down the officer
OF the day who had ordered him under
arrest. Within week a large portion of

whelming numbers, and the remnant still
alive were worn out with fatigue, heat,
hunger, encouragement, but most of all,
by thirst. The steep sides of the hill
were strewn with bodies; for the Indians,
with the recklessness of triumph, had
charged almost up to the rifles several
times, and none If that weary band could
say but what the next charge would be
successful, though each man vowed silently
to himself that his own weapon should
prevent his becoming prisoner if he sur.
vived his comrades.
They were not quite hopeless, however,
for they knew that within twenty.four
hours march of them were reinforce
ments of such extent that at their ap-
proach the Indians would vanish, and
that if they could but maintain their DO.
sition, by sunset tomorrow they would be
safe. But in the meantime, though hun
ger and fatigue could be endured, thirst
was maddening, and the wounded, who
lay in the center of the little circle, would
not live until morning without water, the
surgeon said. The colonel and two or
three OF the surviving officers, who had been
holding council (if such could be called
anything so unanimous as the opinion
that they must defend themselves while
there was life lefD, looked hopelessly at
each other when the surgeon made his
report, and then, with the energy of des-
peration, the colonel sprang to his feet.
They were all lying fiat behind their ram

sional volleys fred by the Indians from
an opposite but less high hill.
Boys" said the colonel, and between
fatigue and sorrow (for had he not seen
his best friends die that day y the strong,
kindly voice was sorely shaken, "you
have done to-day all that brave men could.
You are tired and hungry and grieved.

A BREATH OF SUMMER.

There through the long, long summer hours
The golden light should lie,
And thick, young herbs and groups Of flowers
Stand in their beauty by.
The orioe should build and tell
His love-tale close beside my cell
The idle butterfly
Should rest him there, and there be heard
The housewife-bee and hummlng-bird
And what IL cheerful shouts at noon
Come, from the village sent
Or songs Of maids. beneath the moon,
With fairy laughter blent2
And whatif in the evening light,
Betrothed lovers walk in sight
OF my low monument
would the lovely scene around
Might know no sadder sight or sound.
know, know should not see
The seasons glorious show,
Nor would Its brightness shine for me,
Nor its wild music flow;
But II, around my place Of sleep,
The friends love should come TO weep,
They might not haste to go.
Soft airs, and song and light and bloom,
Should keep them lingering by my tomb.
These to their softened hearts should bear
The thought of what has been,
And speak Of one who cannot share
The gladness Of the scene;
Whose part in all the pomp that fills
The circuit of the summer hills,
Is-that his grave is green
And deeply would their hearts rejoice
To hear again his living voice.

Oil nj ROscOmmOn.

During the week, says the Roscom-
mon Pioneer, the work Of sinking the
well at the Roscommon Oil Company's
works has progressed favorably, the
old trouble-sand-being met with
and slowly overcome. Tuesday night
a bed of clay was reached, and in
passing through it the workmen dis
covered something on the water used
to wash the foot of the pump, and
word was sent into the village that
oil had been found at depth of 1873
feet, and Immediately large party
set out for the well, arriving there
about 11:30 p. NJ. Work has been
suspended for short time, and the
visitors that night and the next day
secured samples of what is pronounced
the very finest specimen of crude oil
that has ever been found. These
specimens, samples OF which we saw
in the hands of returning visitors,
certainly seems to assure the commu-
nifty that their hopes will surely be
realized, and every one is still more
confident Of ultimate success. The
find proved to be pocket or small
vein of oil, and the work was resum.
ed with increased vigor and hope.
The well is now down $50 feet, hay
ing passed through the clay and is in
a veritable curiosity in the way Of
sand; being very coarse and white,
but as il is a different strata from
what has been heretofore encountered,
il is hoped that it will soon give place
