Twain Wrote "a Description.
What is perhaps the most wonderful
watch in the world is in the possession of
q resident of Prince George county, Md.
This remarkable timepiece, known as
the Matile watch, from the name Of its
maker, was made at Looe, Switzerland.
1t formed feature of the Swiss exhibit
at the Centennial held at Philadelphia
In 1876 and was purchased on that occa-
sion hy Its present owner. A description
of the watch by Mark Twain Is. L.
Clemens) is as remarkable for accuracy
as it is humorous. The well known writ
er thus gives his impressions of the mar
Vicious piece of mechanism:
81 have examined the wonderful watch
made by Mr. H. L. Matile, and indeed it
comes nearer to being a human being
than any piece of mechanism ! ever saw
before. In fact, it knows considerably
more than the average voter. 1t knows
the movements Of the moon and keeps
exact record of them. 1t tells the day OF
the week, the date of the month and the
month of the year and will do this per-
petually; 1t tells the hour of the day and
the minute and the second and even
splits the second into ffths and marks
the division by stop hands, having two of
the latter; it can take accurate care of
two race horses that start, not together
but one after another; 1t is a repeater,
wherein the voter Is suggested again, and
unsteady chimes the hour, the quarter,
the half and the three-quarter hour, and
also the minutes that have passed of an
uncompleted quarter hour, so that blind
man can tell the time of day by it to the
exact minute.
'Such is this extraordinary watch. 1t
ciphers to admiration. l should think one
could add another wheel and make 1t
read and write, still another and make 1t
talk, and l think one might take out sew
eral Of the wheels that are already in ii
and it would still be a more intelligent
citizen than some that help to govern the
country. On the whole, think 1t is enti-
tied to vote-that Is, II its sex Is of the
right kind"
The watch was sold for 81 400, and 1t
is still performing its complex functions

Cotton and Cotton Seed.

Considerable new cotton and a quantity OF
cotton seed are coming to town. Tne gooo
prices and the eager buyers make the market
quite active. While the farmers are looking
with longing eye toward twelve cents for
their cotton. yet they have not implicit faith
in the stability OF the market. as is shown by
the fact that the crop is marketed as fast as 1t
is einned and packed. Yesterday cotton
ranged from 1OA TO 1O4 cents, and the seed
reached the highest figures ever known In
this market. 2s cents per bus bel was freely
paid. This time last year the seed brought
less than half these figures. -
