more weeks He would make the most
of them, and so plunged madly on in hia
reckle-e course.
" Niles is hound to go to the dogs,” his
employers said, with a shake of the Head
"Its too bad! Ho **-
ras a promising

On New Year’s eve, there was a gay
party of young men at their club room,
watrliinr ” the oi I year out and the new
year In. Never In fore hadVonvivialitv
ran so hign in theli midst, nor the rich
wines flowed so freelr; and never before
had young Harry Nile* been so witty
and gay. He overflowed and fairly
sparkled with mirth and jollity; hia
comical puna and rollicking songs
called forth roars of laugnter and ap
plause.
As he sat in their midst that New
Vear's eve, the very life and spirit o(
that gathering of riotous life and spirit,
his appearance was photographed on his
eom|mnions memories—the fair, flushed
face, the bright rings of damp hair, the
laughing blue eyes, thn stalwart, young
form—each year, for many years thereaf
ter, at tho mystic hour when the old
year meets the new, this picture rose like
a ghost before them.
"It’s deucodly hard to cut the jollv
old life, and tnc jolly old chums !”•
Harry said with drunken hiccoughs;
"hilt its got to tie done. This is the
last time, boys, that I'll lie with you,—
the last time of all, so fill up the glasses
and 'we’ll drink the old year out boys I
We’ll drink the new year in.’”
'Hie little French dock was on the
stroke of twelve. They all rose simulta
neously, except Harry, who had to be
helped to his feet.
" Here’s to the jollv, old year, and
iollr, old life l" he hiccoughed as
beheld the brimming gloss in his unsteady
hand I
There was a clash of glasses, a gurg
ling confusions of sounds; then the
empty goblets were hastily refilled.
" Here’s to tho new year, and Hal’s
new life!” propbsed one of the young
men with a knowing wiuk.
The last clear, musical stroke of the
silver bell was on the air. There was
an involuntary pause. The old year
was out and the new year was in I
Home two hvura later the club broke
up. Harry had bidden aU goad bye
with drunken fervor and maudlin tears,
and continued to repeat t her operation,
two of his more sober companions
trundled him up In his overcoat and
wrappings, and set out with him for his
lodgings.
w There’s youi honse, Hat. Hurry
and jump into bed. It's dr tirrdly cold r
one of them said as they took leave of
him at the comer.
It was indeed cold. The stars twink
led through the frosty atmosphere;
tho pavements errakea beneath every
footfall. It was not the blustering odd
that carries Its own warning of dam
„ nger;
hut the still, insidious cold, that silent*
ly numbs each watchful faculty, and
then lay# Its Icy fingers upon the citadel
'of life.
When Harry’s two companions left
him, It was near three o’clock in the
morning, and the great city was hushed
in profound silence. How long the
drunken youth ftimbled about the door
of his lodging-house was never known.

that the sales for the current year will
amount to 176,000,000, against 160,000,-

sales for the first year were 01,000,000.
The present year, the fifth of their his

WATCHMAKING 15 AMERICA.
TasrtNOHT or rf* Rwiu Conmimiosss.—am«»i-
cza Srrattns to roaaina Watchr*.
Mr. Kdooard Farrs PerraLHwiMCotnmia
•loner to UtsIfsatennlaJ Exhibition, amt
member of theJnlrenaibmal Jury on wsti.-hrs,
has given the results ef his observations on
American wnt«h making in a public «.litres*
at Chaus de Fonda,'Lode and Neuehatel.
Being hlmsslf a large watch manufacturer,
his statement nude a profound impression
in Hwltserlaad, and will he rtad with the
liveliest interest in this counter. After
sketching the' growth of watchmaking io
Beaanqon, hy vhieh the French market for
watches was lost to tiwitMrland, he spoke
substantially as follows:
For a long tine America has Keen the prin
cipsl market for our watches. To-dav we
must earnestlyprepare to struggle with the
Americana on Mie fields where hitherto we
have been the masters. Mr. Dennison, the
father of American watchmaking, traveled
through the ronton of Neuehatel studying
nnr mode of manufacturing, seeking to in
form himaelf of everything, and onrefully
noting the weak points jn our industry. Af
ter his return to the United Ntales, in 1H54.
he founded a factory at Boston—"The Bos-
•I" ™ ch <>'*p*nr." neupiui. M«mir
$100,000, wjs soberribed by capitalists more
than hy practical business men. Jn the begin-
n ina,the company turned out only the rough
skeleton iniivajtaent nnd attended to the fin
ishing; all otmr parts, such na trains, bal
ances. Jewels, fin. were Imported from hwlt-
rerland. Little by little, however, the fac
tory extended ita operations and produced
other pnrta. But as the profits were small,
tbc^cspitnlista abandoned il and it fade '
Another American, Mr. Robbins, scented
a good speculation and taught the factory
and tools for $75,000. A new company, "The
American Watch Company," was formed,
with a capital of $200,000, which was in
creased to $300,000 before the war, which put
on foot a million of soldiers, and as every
oue wanted a watch, there was a great ani
mation in the watch business. At the jnne
tnrs. which might have been a lucky one for
our industry, we failed to comprehend oui
real iuteresta. Instead of sending good
watches to the Americans, the worst trash
was sent. The Americans, however, went to
work on an entirely different plan. The com
pany increased their plant and tnrned out a
better ordinary watch than the Hwisa watch.
At the end of' several years the American
watch enjovea a good reputation, while ours
was diacreditml everywhere. In INfifi, the
capital was ir$reased to $750,000, and the
* rew *® immense
s Waltham company give
W00 workmen and make
•entaperday. They have
their capital till it amounts
'sides $300,0X1 ii n reserve
itch factory la a real power;
. , . V/ >H *'\ ur "P f - We have seen
It in all ita details, and we have admired ita
splendid organization.
I^at May, on the eve of the Exhibition, we
atill seemed masters of the situation. One
event, howevur, dealt us a Mortal blow. The
Waltham Company announced a reduction of
from 10 to 50 per cent. onVrb-M already lower
than their rival*, the rrduetiou to data back
to Jauuary 1,187ft. It is unnecessary to tall
you, gentlemen, how very detrimental this
was to the Hwisa watch. Still another and
more Important reason explains the growing
prosperity of the American Company. Their
tools work so regularly, that all parts of the
watch may ha interchanged, by a simple or
der on a postal rani, without necessitating
the forwarding of the adjoining piece.
The question has often been asked, can the
Americana auRciently supply the demand of
the market? .Yes, they ran : we are driven
out of the American market. In 1*40 the
American Companies produced only 15.000
watebae. To4ay they produce '.\V\ijoo,which
can be eaalltnfiaubled. We sent loth# United
States In 1 *79/.1ft0,000 watches. In II7A we
«hatl barely send 75 (XX) watches. The Atner
icans have already begun to aend their manu
faeturo to F.umpe. in England they sell an
nuelly from 2i).0tx) to 30,000 welches. The
American wattn commences to drive from
the English market tne Ha is* watch and even
the Kngliah watch. The Americans began hy
creating a demand for their goods in tlie In
dies and in Australia, and then—thanks to
some powerful importing houses—they in-
‘ Moscow and 8t. Peters-
established important
Waltham Company
a watch of the fifth grade. A large safe was
opened before me; at random I took a watch
out of it and fastened it to my chain. The
director having asked me to let him have the
watch for two or three days, so as to observe
ita motion, I answered, "On the contrary, I,
persist in wearing it just as it is to obtain an
exact idea of yonr manufacture." At Paris I
set my watch by a regulator on the Boule
vard, and on the sixth day I observed that it
had varied 33 second*! And this watch is of the
fifth American gradc.it costa 75 francs (move
ment without ease.) On my arrival at Lode
I showed the watch to one of our first ad

down—that is, to take it to pieces. I, how
ever. wished to observe it, and here is the
result which I noted: Hanging, daily varia
tion, \'A seconds; variation in different po
sitions from t to H seconds; in the heated
room the variation was very slight. Having
thus observed it, I handed it over to the ail-
lastar, who took it down. After a few day*
he came to me aad said, word for word, "/

Thla watch, gentlemen, I repeat to you, I
took at baxard—out of a heap, as we say.
Yon understand Irom this txampie, that the
American watch may ta preferred to the
Hwisa. I have finished,gentlemen,and I have
told yon of things such as I have seen them.
It remains for us to profit from this sad ex
perienee, and to improve oar manufacture.

Why do people so frequently aav to Dr.
ilerce " I suppose yonr Golden Medical Dis
covery cures every thing " Because it has
been the practice of knavish charlatans to
manufacture worthless nostrum* and attempt
to dnpe the ignorant and credulous hy rec
ommending them to cure every form of dis
ease. To such an extent has this been prac
ticed that it is no wonder that many have
acquired prejudices against all advertised
remedies But Dr. Pierce does not advertise
hia standard preparations as " cure alls,"
does not claim that they will perform mire-
some powerful impor
vndfd England. At )
burgh they bare <
pete with ua oa our own soil. I sincerely
confess that I personally have doubted that
competition. Hut now I have seen—I have
felt It—and I am terrified by the danger to
which our industry is axpoeed. Besides, I am
not the only og* to think on: the Societeln-
teicantooalc have sent a delegate to make in
quiries, and hb report perfectly agree* with
mine. Up to this Terr day we have believed
America to be depeadent upon Europe. We
have been mistaken. The Americana will
•end na their product* aiuce w« cannot aend
them our oVlQ .Their importation ia not con
fined to watrhoe alone; Already America
baa commenced to aend cotton goods to K.ng-
land, which hoe hitherto monopolized that
article in the markets of the world.
Can the Americans maintain their price*?
Yea, they can, for If they obtain a good profit
on their superior quality of goods, they caa
afford to be satisfied with a smaller profit on
the lower grades of watches. In America,
everything is made by machinery ; here we
make everything by band. In Switzerland
about 40,000 workmen make on an average,
each 40 watchea per annnm. In the United
States, the average i» about 150 watches.
Therefore the machinery produces three
and a half to four times more than the work-
Had tha Philadelphia Exhibition taken plac
five year* ago .we should hare been totally
annihilated without knowtoa whence uor
how we received the terrible blow. We have
believed onrteJves master* of the situation,
when we really have been on a volcano. And,
to-day,we must actually struggle if we do aot
want to eucoubtar, ia all the markets, that
rival manufacture. For a long time we have
hoped that the custom duties, amounting to
25 per cent., might be reduced. We cannot
count upon it. America needs all her re
sources, aad whether Democrat* or Republi
cans be in pouer, we coaoot hope for a re
duction of import duties. We must, there
fore. make up our mind to lose the American
market It bee been complacently said, that
the Americana do not make the entire watch,
but are dependent upon Switzerland for sev
eral parts of the watch. This is a mistake.
Th* Waltham Company make the entire
watch from the first screw to the rase aad
dial, it would even be difficult for them to
a sc our product*, eo neat is the regularitv,
so minute the precision with which their
machines wonk.
They arrive at the regulation of the
watchra—so to aay—without having seen it.
When the watch ia given to the adjuster,the
foreman deliver, to him the corresponding
hafr sprinv.snJ the watch is regulated. (Sen-

forms of disease for which he recommends
