How Watches are Msalo.
D w ill be apparent to any one, who
.! gamine u Solid Gold Watch, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing a large propor
tion of the precious metal used, is uoa-
iled only to stiffen and hold the .engrav
ed portions in place, and supply the
necessary solidity and strength. The
surplus gold .is actually needless so far
as utility and hoauty are concerned. In
-James Ross’ Patent Gold Watch
Gasls, this wuste of precious metal is
overcome, and the same solidity mid
strength produced at from one-third to
one-lmlf ot the usual cost of solid cases
• his process is of the most simple na
ture, as follows: A pinto of nicklc
composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates of solid
gold soldered on each side. The three
are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the
cases, back.vcentres, bezels, &c.. are
cut and shaped by suitable dies mid for
mers. ihe gojd in these cases is suf
ficiently thick to admit of all kiuds of
chasing, engraving and enameling ; the
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by timc.a.ad use
without removing the gold.
Ibis is the only case made with two
plates of Solid Gold and warranted by
special certificate.

INDIANA’S IMPORTANCE.

publicans. It is important to the

necessary to give General Ha..; > I

HIS BROTHER WEN1
DOWN.
A little known around the foot
(of Vv odward Avenue as ‘John,’
' hunted out in the office whete
be works by a stranger who said he
came from Oswego and had bad
news to communicate. The news
was nothing less than the death of
John’s brother by drowning, and
the stranger happened to be on
band to witness it. Old John stood
lor a few minutes as if trying to
realize tho full extent of tho calam
ity and then remarked:
‘Poor George I hadn’t heard front
him in ten yearB. You say he fell
off the wharf?’
Yes; he was piling lumber, and
hii* footing gave way and he went
into the water.’
‘Did lie fall quite easy ?’
‘I guess so, I don’t think it hurt
him any,’
How many times did he rise to
the surface before going down to
stay?’
‘Twice, I think.’
‘Do you he had his senses?’
‘Oh, yes.’
‘And from where you stood you
could have heard all he said ?’
‘Oh, yes- I was not a hundred
feet away/
‘Now then,’ continued old John
us he braced up and got u new hold
of his shovel handle, ‘will you an
swer me something in confidence ?’
‘I will.’
‘Then, sir, toll me if my poor
brother hurrahed for Hancock or
Garfield before he went the last
time V
This struck the stranger for a
minute, but he answered by saying
that George didn’t hurrah for eith
er ot tho candidates as he heard.
‘Maybe not maybe not,’ sighed
the old man—‘maybe he was what
they call on the fence, and didn't
know whether to yell with tho Dem
