Little Watches.
All the Year Round.

All the Year Round.
Far more numerous, however, have
been the tiny watches, marvellous on
account Of the quantity ofmechanism
compressed within small spaces. One
Of these is about the size and shape Of
an almond. At the first Of our great
exhibitions, the Swiss exhibited a
watch only three-siXteenths Of an
inch in diameter, in the top Of a pen
ell case; it showed hours, minutes,
seconds and the day of the month.
An English specimen, the size of a
three-penny piece, was giant to it..
The Annual Register, about centu-
ny ago, told Of a watch only the fifty
fourth part Of an inch in diameter ;
but this, We suspect, must hea mis-
take for iifty-four hundredths Of an
inch, a very different affair. Arnold
presented to George the Third an eX-
quisite watch the size of a silver
penny, set in a ring; it consisted Of a
hundred and twenty separate parts,
the whole Of which weighed together
rather less than six penny-weights,
and so intricate were the works that
Arnold had made tools himself be.
fore he could make the watch. The
king was so delighted with the work
that he sent Arnold five hundred
guineas. When the car of Russia
heard of this he offered Arnold a thou
sand guineas to make a similar one
for him; but this the artist refused

A Bill Passed for "Pious Frank.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Among the bills before the House
Committee on Military Affairs re-
Gently was one providing for the re-
mOval of the charges of desertion
against one Frank Thompson, who it
is said had enlisted in 1862 in Com
pany F, Second Michigan Volunteers.
The person in question, it is said, is
none other than a woman, who is at
present a resident of Colorado, known
as Mrs. Sarah f. Seely. She entered
themilitary service in Michigan when
at the age of 10 years, attired as a
male, un Ter the name of Frank
Thompson. From the fact that she
did not indulge in the use of tobacco,
play cards, or any other of the So
called camp vices, she was dubbed
"Pious Frank, " and always went by
that name. Other than this there was
no reason for suspecting her sex. She
went through two battles and did as
good service as any of her comrades.
She was detained at brigade head
quarters as an orderly, and one of the
members of the Committee who
served in the same command, says
he saw Crank" carrying brigade or,

The Small Boy and the Dime Novel

a case showing the baleful intiu-
ences of cheap and trashy literature
has just come to light in Pl9ntsville,
where three boys, after having de-
voured the contents of three yellow
colored novels, began to put in prac-
tice the teachings of these wretched
publications by committing numer-
Gus petty thefts and otherwise misbe-
having themselves. 1t seems strange
in view of the fact that so many cases
of this kind can be directly traced to
the dime novel that some means cam
not be taken to prevent its publica-
ton. The country is overrun by boys
of this sort and the harm they do can
not be computed. If boys cannot be
made to realize the folly of wasting
their time in reading Of impossible
and doubtful heroes, the men who
foster this taste should be summarily
dealt with as criminals, for morally
they are criminals of the worst class
who put upon the market reading
matter which will influence Others
for the worse, and lead them to the
commission of crime.

POLITICS AND THE LEAGUE.

The bare suggestion of politics
in the Anti-Chinese League has
raised loud protest for the very
people who carry politics into ev-
erything. They express fear til at
politics will cause the League to
fall to pieces, which is very anus
ing, as everybody knows that the
disintegration of the League is the
very thing that these people most
desire.
We believe that any voter in
Ormsby County has right to en-
gage in politics if he so desires.
The members of the League repre-
sent the majority of the taxpaying
voters in this city and have a right
to manage their own political af-
fairs and say how the municipal
government shall be run.
There are certain people IN
Ormsby county who have long en-
tertaineL the idea that they hold
patent right Of some kind on poll
tics.
The Ant1-Chinese League pro
pose to put an Anti-Chinese Non
Partisan ticket in the field at the
next election and the League, here
by files a caveat on the scheme.
Which may be described as: "a
continuance to enable registered
voters to elect people Of their own
choosing, and several other novel
and origina! features"
This machine will make a trial
trip in May and the public are gem
orally invited. The APPEAL
again urges the necessitv of a full
registration. The books at Justice
Cages office close on the 23rd and
only a few days remain. 1t is pro-
posed to elect three City Trustees,
and these men will be nominated |
without regard to party affiliations.
So long as they are sound on the
Chinese question the voters will be
satisfied This action of the
League does not prevent the pro-
Chinese from placing a ticket in
the field and supporting it.
They have the same right at the
polls as anybody else and will be
offered free ballot and a fair
count.

WELL PAKD. HE'S DEAD
AGAIN."

"Stonewall Jackson's war horse died
yesterday."- Daily Paper, March 10.
In April. eighteen sixty nine,
When all the skies were dull and gray
And the sad sun refused to shine.
Our hearts were heay y all the day;
And with the mourning wind we sighed
Tae llytlLs Stonewall's charger died.
But Summer came with sunny hours,
Apd sang the birds our hearts to
cheer,
When sorrow blighted all the flowers,
And draped with gloom hemisphere;
Scarce on our cheeks the tears were
dried
When once more Jack sons war horse
died.
But Autumn came with fruit and
wines,
And laughter sweetened all our care.
And golden fields and blushing vines
Made glad the land, the sky, the air;
Thanksgiving anthems rose and then
Old Stonewall's war horse died again.
Then Winter crowned the closing year
WIN III iltibS Suo"S anu sweeping
blast,
And manly sport and Christmas cheer,
And fireside joys too sweet to last
When, mid Dece mber's bleakest roar,
Old JacksOn's charger died once more,
And now again the Spring time wakes
With kiss or flower in the air.
And murmuring. brooks and laughing
lakes
And dimpling meadows everywhere.
And right on deck that .'hoSs'' is here
To die all through another year Bob

We have heard a good deal about
the sorrows of the President but we
didn't realize until the other day
that he was in such way that he
was obliged to call in Lawrence
Barrett that he might pour out his
condolences to him and occasionally
weep on his neck. OF course the
first thing that Barrett did was to
telegraph the interview all over the
world and turn it into a good adver-
tisement. We think the President
will cork up his troubles next time
Barrett shows up in the White
House.

Cavalry Exercises.

Tho closing performances at the West
Point Academy, which have been visited
by good many officials Of the War
Department. have been very interest
ing. A letter received here gives some
details OF the cayalry drill which are
interesting. The two uprights were
fixed at distance of about fifty feet
from each other, with a pad rs q cap
fixed upon each. with handle attached
to it At word tho cavalrymen DASH
cd off, Now one came along OF full
gallop, leaned over as he reached the
upright till his hand was below the
level Of the stirrups, and in full career
picked up one pad after another and
tossed il behind him. II was feat re-
qniring GOODNESS and address, but near
ly all executed it satisfactorily. Next
pad was placed upon an upright the
hcighth of a man, and at the same dis
tance as before. another was placed on
lower stand. Between them was
placed horizontally beam resting on
two uprights-a good stiff Jump for
horse in such limited space and one
requiring rider 10 have his brain clear.
The word was given. A horseman
came galloping on. As he reached the
taller stand, he drew his revolver 1t
flashed and then the pad. struck by the
bullet tumblcd off, while the horse
dashed on and was a moment after
lifted over the bar in a flying jump.
Round still the horsemen went, his
comrades following one by one. And
now, as he approaches the stand on
which the pad was replaced: he has his
saber out. He slashes at it, hits it fair
~ and almost before it reaches the
ground, he is over the bar. His sabre
cut an arc through the air as he leans
over his horses shoulders and tosses up
with great slash bunch of tan-bark,
and then, just recovering in his saddle,
he brings down the blade with swoop
upon the pad of the second upright and
tosses it off. In the next exercise the
uprights and pads are still there, but in
place of the jump is high pole with q
transverse bar, from which hangs just
within reach of the horsemans saber
an iron ring, only few inches in
diameter And through all this, too,
the horses go round at the top of their
speed, the feat repeated and again. q
few failing, but nearly all successful.
Next. the saddles are removed and the
men ride bareback at viii. There is no
circus performance like this spectacle.
The place is full of bounding steeds;
some with riders leaning over their
shoulders till their hands sweep tho
ground; some lying at full length upon
their backs; some facing to the rear, but
guiding them with rein and spur;
some jumping OH and off like circus
riders. while the animal is going at the
top of his speed, and some vaulting
clean over them and keeping up the
pace. 1t is thrilling spectacle
