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. 1 ( or sale by all Jewelers. Ask for il lustrated Catalogue, mid to see w arrant july 13, ’80—ly Air. H.

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 ocrats or holler with tho Republi- GEORG [A—Washington County.
