BOSS BUCK IN THE CITY.
HIS BRAND SAID TO MEAN A
CHANGE OF POSTMAsTERS.


The Party Autocrat to Confer With
the Cfhce-holders and Oface-seekers
To-day-Dick Dow, the Diplomat Of
Bucks Cabinet Said to Want the
Postofice Himself-Feeling of Dis
pleasure That Dow Wss Sent Down
here and Unloaoed on the Party
Collector of Customs johnson on the
Postoff1ce Situation.
Col. A E. Buck, chairman Of the repub-
lican state executive committee, is in the
city and registered at the Pulaski The
visit is a preconceived one and one which
Col. Buck has intended TO make ever since
his return from Washington. about month
ago.
TO SETTLE THE POSToFFICE MATTER
The significance that attaches to the visit
is thought to pertain to the postofice.
While here Col, Buck viii confer with the
party leaders, it is thought, with a view Of
uniting them in their support OF Joseph +.
Doyle for postmaster, and the pressure will
be very strong upon Col. Buck to recon-
mend an immediate change in the Savan-
nah po,toffice.
Col Buck was not expected until to-day,
but it seems that the local republican lead
ers were getting FESTIVE, as the time OF the
congressional election is so near, and that
the urgency of immediate action has been
pressed upon the party boss in the state
until he mas come down to Savannah to
look over the ground before taking action.
DICK DOW, LIKE BARKIs, IS wILLIN'.
There is a well-grounded belief that Dick
Dow. an employee OF the customs office
under Collector johnson, is plotting for the
appointment Of himself for postmaster, and
that the bitterness Of the factions
which existed before the Assem- bling
of the republican congressional convention
at Waycross was encouraged rather than
discouraged, and that he LED both Doyle
and Porter TO believe he was their friend
when he had the postofiice bee in his own
bonnet, and it is also said that he inspired
letter published in an Atlant4 paper show
ing that some distinguished republicans Of
Georgia had not been properly recognized,
himself among the number.
There is feeling among the republicans
hero that Dow, an Atlanta man, ought to
have been provided for at home and not
unloaded on the party here. 1t is believed
that Collector johnson would not have
objected to this. but he could not well re-
fuse TO accommodate Col Buck, and con-
sented TO provide for Dow. The latter
takes the credit for diplomatic work in
having Capt Doyle brought before the con-
vention by Snelson and Peasants but this
claim is not conceded by either the Doyle or
anti-Doyle faction.
COLLECTOR JoHNsoN's VIEWS
Collector T. F. johnson. in abiding to
the postodice scramble, says that the nomi-
nation of Capt. Doyle for congress means
Joseph F. Doyle for postmaster, which is
taken to Indicate that Mr. Johnson who
has all along been friendly to Porter's can
dldacy, and recommended his appointment,
IS now unwilling TO antagonize Capt.
Doyle's son further since the doughty cap
tain is willing to sacrifice himself in hope
less race for congress.

that no one thought of reducing 1T 10
pocket size. Some time in the fourteenth
century the escapement was introduced
in what is known as De Wyck's clock
This allowed of reduction in size, but it

The city of Nuremburg claims to have
made the first watch in l477, and Peter
He'll, of that city, made watches of steel
rs early as 1890. IL is certain that the
first watches were called Nuremburg eggs
"a fact that identities both the place of
making and the shape of the watch.
The works were inclosed in circular
metal cases, and were hung from the
girdle. They generally suggested the idea
of the egg.
The first English watches were made
upon a different principle. They had
weights and we're used as a Tocket-clock.
The earliest mention made of one under
its present name is of a watch belonging
to Edward VI. as being "one larum or
watch of iron, the case being likewise of
iron guilt, with two plummets of lead.
Such early watches had ONLY one hand,
and required to be wound up twice day.
The dials were of silver and brass, the
cases had no crystals, but opened at the
back and front, and were four or five
inches in dinmetsr-about the size of a
common dessert plate.

Skinned for One Trim.

One day in early spring of the yeai
1888, the revenue cutter Andrew
Johnson steamed into the harbor OF
Frankfort little town in the northern
part of Michigan, and made fast to the
dock. The vessel was to be painted,
and for several days "all hands" were
busily employed. After supper, on the
second day, the quartermaster at the
gangway espied a small red squirrel
playing on the wharf
His curiosity being aroused he
watched the little fellow and noticed
that he was gradually nearing the gang
plank. Soon he stopped at the other
end, and sitting on his launches, looked
inquiringly at the big sailor, who laugh
ingly accosted him with.
Would you like TO come on board I?
AS if he had understood the polite
invitation, the would-be traveller al
most Immediately scampered up the
plank, jumped over the bulwarks and
ran down the gangway, to the great
amusement of the quartermaster, as
well as of one or two others who wit
messed the incident.
A search was made for the Young
stowaway, but he had effectually hid
den himself, and was not seen again
until the vessel was far out on the lake,
on the second day following. Then he
was observed apparently searching for
food.
Bread and corn-meal were scattered
about for him, and quickly disappeared
in a way to indicate very good appe-
tite. Finding that he was not molested,
he became quite tame, and was q great
pet with all on board.
When we made the first port
after leaving Frankfort, it was sup
posed that he would leave us, and nee
essarily be logged as "deserter," but
such was not, the case. He evidently
had no intention of leaving, for al
though we stopped at many places
during the next three weeks and he
went on shore regularly, he never
failed TO return on time, and was with
us when the vessel again ran into
Frankfort harbor.
Much interest was now manifested,
both by officers and men, 10 see what
the little passenger would do. He did
not keep us waiting long. When the
ship was made fast 10 the dock and the
boatswain had "piped down" our young
friend came up, took look at the wharf
TO assure himself that it was indeed his
old home, and quickly, without saying
good-by, ran down the gang plank, and
was soon out of sight.
We never saw him again, but coald
he have been followed, no doubt an
interesting scene would have been wit
messed when he re;oined his family.
What a wonderful story he had to tell
and what hero he must be hereafter in
the eyes of squirrels who never took a
free ride on a Government ship
