Watch Comnetltions.

Very few people know that there are, in connection with the Geneva watch trade, competitions involving very large sums of money, a goodly proportion of which finds it's way into England.
 A certain number of watchmakers al Geneva nominate certain dealers in England who shall hold competition watches made by the former, and the names of such dealers are agreed to by the whole of the said makers. Prizes ranging from e300 downward are given to the makers whose particular watches shall keep the best time and remain in the finest condition during 12 months
 The English dealers who hold the watches during the l2 months have tc keep daily record in regard to the loss or gain of time evidenced by their charges, and they are of course in abso- lute honor bound to keep a correct one and not to tamper with the watches be- yond winding them. No given maker E watch in the competition bears any name or distinctive mark other than pe- culiarities of construction by which the name of the maker can be identified by the holder The watches are of the usual kind manufactured for trading purposes and not mere exhibition watches, and the holder of each prize winner receives one-half of the award.

NapoIeon's Manners. s.

Napoleon was rude. His manners were coarse, and when at table he att as fast as he could chew and swallow, shoveling tho food into his mouth with his knifo and using his fingers whenever they came into moro convenient em- ployment. When talking to his officers, he often, as a friendly favor, pulled their whiskers or pinehed their ears. To women he was almost invariably of fensiye, sometimes utterfng language SC coarse as to bring flush of shame to their checks and the tears to their eyes

1 ARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION

SOME one asked the editor of the Red River Budget, published at Full ton, Ark, to give his opinion Of the pistol toters, and he cheerfully re sponded in red-hot style. Among other things Editor Wilson says of the "habitual pistol toter" that "he is a bravado whose chief capital consists of an overbearing desire to pose as a bully, and whose principal ambition is to set law and order at defiance. He is a coward at heart.
 He is a seeker after diff euties and an unprineipled scion ot insurrection. He is a traducer of houest men and frequently a slan- derer of innocent, noble women, be- cause he feels assured of an adVan- tage in personal combat should any one choose to refute his eravenly as saults. He is despoiler of happy homes, a recruiting agent for or phan asylums, a leeeh on society,"
 a contempible wretch, whose only satisfaction is in serving the devil. Hell is too good for him, and civilization should certainly not tolerate him. Rather a sulphurous opinion, but evidently a correct one.-Fort Smith Eater-

TOADYING TO ROFALTK.

It looks to many in whom the spirit of true Americanism lives and breathes, that some of our am bassadors abroad believe in a way that seems to show they are rather ashamed of Yankee Doodle. MT. John Bull is, no doubt, a rather re- spectacle, corpulent, asthmetic, bluff old gentleman, with views He has, however, no particular love for the land of the free and the home of the brave, and if this Nation were another Nicaragua or Venezuela, we know pretty well what the tone of his intercourse would be with our authorities at Washington. Never theless, it has become habit of our plenipotentares near the court of St. James to indulge in an obsequi- ousness and humble difference that ought not to be required even in the mawkish hypoerisies of diplomacy. Minester Phelps was too much given to this, and his predecessor, James Russell Lowell, was q model of toady- ism; but "Chevaliern Bayard, ac- cording to accounts, has ''out
 Heroded Herod' in this kind of ser vice, his fulsome praise of every thing English, as developed in his dinner speeches, reaching point not far removed from the nauseat- ing. We hate to say this of Bayard, so long an ornament to our Senate and brilliant light in our party counsels. That the people are feel ing need of a more stalwart Ameri- canism in our.representation abroad, a little more of the spirit of the Fourth of July, 1776; and Mr. Bay ard, surrounded as he is by the glamor of monarchy has seques- tered himself from the vivifying breezes waited from these shores.

 Had Befriended Him.

Had Befriended Him.
 The head of tho famous Christy min strel troop was not George, but B. P. Christy, who originated the company some time back in the forties, and the following story of the latter is interest ing;
 Christy, then a young man, was passenger on a Lake Erie steamboat commanded by Captain Folger and bound to Buffalo, where the first show was to come off. But the minstrel had not even dollar to invest in the hire of cellar for the performance. Cap tain Foiger, to whom he made known his wants. generously handed him $20 bill, telling him that he was welcome to it, and that he need not trouble him. self about paying it back. On the strength of this $20 Ghristy began busi- ness and in a few years became success full and rich.
 In the meantime miafortunes overlook Captain Folger. Losing his employment on the lakes, he resolved to try again the salt water, on which he was brought up So he came to New York to see if he could obtain situation as master or, failing that, as mate of seafaring vessel.
 He bethought himself of Christy. whom he supposed might possibly know some shipowner to whom he eould reo- commend him. The minstrel received him most cordially, but told him that he had no acquaintances ill that line of business.
 Why don't you buy a ship?" he asked
 Buy shipl' answered Folger. "Why. I haven't dollar in the world. All want Is employment. ]"
 See here, returned Christy, 'how much would vessel oost?"
 Any price. replied the Captain, "A pretty good one could be bought for, say, $20. 900 or less. ,
 "WelI, now, exclaimed the big hearted snowman, you loaned me $2C once, and l am ashamed to say have forgotten to pay it. but l will pay my debt now Go and buy S90, GOO shiI and send tho seller to mo for the money. I will own her, and you shall sail her. If she makes anything, you shall have it. If she don't, shall stand the loss.
 This is the conversation, word fol word, as Captain Folger told it to me. had just returned from an East Indian voyage in the Vandalia, ship of about 400 tons. One day Captain Folger came on board at the dock and introduced himself He said he would like to buy the ship and asked the price. It so hap pened that $20, 900 was the sum had de cided upon. After little diekering hC offered me SIS. 900. and accepted it.
 To my astonishment. he referred mt to E. P. Christy as the purchaser, and then he told me the story as 1 tell it. We went together to sec Christy, and the result of the interview was that gave him bill of sale of the Yandalia, taking his note in payment, the note tC be paid i'll installments, and every morn. ing after one of his entertainments called upon him and received hatful of bills, quarters, shillings and six pences until the indebtedness was can. oeled
 Captain Folger made successful voyage to California iii the Vandalia The ship was then sold, and Christy bought 0 larger and more expensive ship. on board of which Captain Folgel eventually died at Calcutta. John Cod man in the New York Herald.

RICHARD BISHOP, THE ROUND
ROCK ROBBER.
Something About the Big Pumps From

Pick-Ups You'll Find Interesting.

Mention was made in yesterdays
Statesman by Officers Plumb and Griz-
card of the arrest of suspect who gave
his name as Richard Bishop, and who
answered the description of the party
who robbed the store of Mr.. Bernheim
at Round Rock a few nights before. A
telegram was sent Mr.. II. @. Purl, sheriff
of Williamson county, to come and iden-
tify his man. He, in company with Sam
Hardin, constable, arrived in the city
yesterday forenoon and visited the sta
ton. After several minutes conversation
with Bishop, he was confident he was
one of the men who did the robbing.
Bishop denies any knowledge of the mat
ter, however. In explaining how he hap
pened to be possessed with so many
gold rings and other ornamental pieces
of jewelry he said that he had been in
Round Rock on the night of the robbery
and that night met fellow with whom
he came to Austin. The laid down on
the prairie across the river to get a little
sleep and when he awoke his partner was
gone and putting his hand in his pocket
to see if he had been trucked, found all
this jewelry, and of course he didn't
want to be carrying all this around so
he tried to sell some of it. Constable
Harden took him back to Round Rock
last night, where he will have the goods
identified, and Sheriff Purl will leave
this morning for Llano, where he hopes
to catch the partner.
