How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-lo karats
fine is soldered on each side Of plate OF
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
PARTS fthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sottdity, while
the uritter guarantee of the manufacturers
uarranting each case to wear tureHty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many OF
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by wears of use without wearing through
the gold. DrBUauE, IA, Dec. "A, 1880.

n. E. Conference.

DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 11.--Bishop Fowler
opened conference promptly at o'clock. Ron,
tine work in receiving reports upon and passing
the character of candidates for orders, occupied
the first hour. The quality OF these men seems
TO be improving each year.
Piof. C. +. Bradley, of Garrett Biblical insti-
tute, mt Evanston, H., and a member of this
conference, gave brief address upon the con-
dition, work and usefulness of that school of
theology.
The class of ministers to pass into full con-
nection with the conference from two years
trial was called before the bishop and addressed
hy'him. The following are the names of the
class: G. 3. Green, VIM. Brown, j. F. Beebce,
Geo. Merritt, H. P. Cooper, r. II. Craig and w.
r. Hawley. The address was u remarkable eff
fort. The high obligation and ideal of true
minister, cutting structures upon the failures,
and warm and inspiring advice for all were given
by master tongue. AT the conclusion the can
didates assumed the VOWS by which they were
bound in allegiance to the Methodist Episcopal
church.
c. s. Royce, local deacon, was then received
into the travelling connection.
Rev G. w. Gray, d. D., president of Little
Rock university, addressed the conference in
the interest of the Freedman's Aid society.
At O'Clock the centenary anniversary of or
ganized Methodism was held. Rev. E. r. La
throp delivered the address. 1t was an able
document, dealing in the main with the history
of the church He showed that this is the
Oldest Episcopal church in America and the
strongest Protestant church. The necessities
that thrust Methodism forth have led to the de-
velopment of system most unique and sue
cessful.
This eve the anniversary of the Freedman's
Ald society will be held and DR.. G.. W. Gray will
be the speaker.
Tomorrow at $3.50 g. IN. the conference love
feast will be held and at 80 the bishop will
preach in the Grand Opera house

TIMELY TOPICS.

SHREwDNEss and sharpness as elements
OF human character are not corelative terms.
Shrewdness in a business man is consistent
with, and implies caution, prudence and its
underlying basis is integrity, uprightness,
honor. The man possessed of the characte
istic property of shrewdness, as rule, COM
mands success in business, builds up q high
ana noble reputation, and enjoys the respect
ana confidence of all who know him. But
the individual noted for sharpness is gener-
any reputed to be the opposite of all this.
10 get the reputation of q ''sharper'' is I'M
fortunate, for that implies slipperiness,
crookeaness, the taking of sharp advantage,
the adroit turning OF short-corner," and
such an individual neither commands nor
enjoys respect or confidence, nor secures
permanent prosperity. His successes are
eyanescent. In his INSCRIPTIONS adroitness
he often overlieaches himself, and the for
tune which he has gained, or thinks he has
gained, In nine cases out of ten eludes his
grasp, and leaves him stranded, shattered
wreck. He illustrates in his career. the very
homely, ana yet very expressive apothegem:
=" MAJ is gained over the DEVILS back, goes
unoer his belly" While the man of shrewd-
ness II Illustrates that other proverbial say
ing; corruption wins not more than hon
esty- To be sharp and smart, without
serupuE>us honesty, is always losing game
ID the race of life, and in the strife of bust
ness cut shrewdness and integrity, coupled
Win stern uprightness are the energizing
forces that elevate and refine human charac-
ter and give true nobility to social and
business life.
