metal soliered together, requiring a erea,
amount of cutting ami soldering, which
soitened the meta. and gave it The pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity OF silver.

Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece of metal hammered into

Slavery in England.

The pleasing notion that there is no
such thing as slavery in England. re-
marks the London Truth. is ratherrude-
ly shaken by an extraordinary story
which was told the other day in the
Croydan Police Court. A lodging house
keeper applied for summons against
one of the dodgers for systematically
'll-treating a little negro boy. whose
screams she had often heard through
the door. The boy had been purchased
in Africa as servant. and when the
lady demonstrated with her ledger for
his cruelty. he replied: ';Oht he is emily
a colored child; and, besides, he be-
longs to my brother" The iandlady's
interference seems to have been visited
on the little boy, who had his wrists
tied together, and was hung up to- q
hook on the wall of the room. :.
