From C. T. I..’* Letter to tbe Atlanta Constitu
tion, from Macon.
This morning, as I boarded the train
at Knoxville for u jaunt down to Cleve
land, I saw the familiar face of a well-
known gentleman, Mr. J. P. Stevens,
who was just returning from an ex
tensive trip through the North, where
he had beer, buying new machinery to
increase the capacity of his watch fac
tory. This factory, by the way, is,
and should be, one of Georgia’s pet
enterprises. Its history has been truly
wonderful,and stands out amarked ex
ample of what sound sense, judgment
and energy will accomplish when
pointed in the right direction. Start
ing less than three years ago, on a
capital limited enough, to be sure, Mr.
.Stevens had the pleasure of ammounc-
ing about two months ago that the cap
acity of the factory* would bo increased
ten fold, and $100,000 as the amount
■contributed by the new company. Mr;
Stevens has just secured at Washing-
ion, after a long stragle with
patent right agents, *a patent
on an invention which will make
watches contain an improvement loiig
sought and which cannot be had in any
other American watch. He made ap
plication first through one.ofthv largest
patent attorneys in the United States,
hut was twice refused by the authorities
at Washington. It was only when he
went to Washington and argued his
case in person that he secured the
light.
The invention consists of a new
method of regulating watches, and is
so simple when seen, the first thing
asked is: “Why wasn’t that thought
of before?” A small silver or gold disc,
half an inch in diameter, fcontaiuing
degree marks and calculated with math
ematical precision is placet! on the re
verse side of the works. In a rotating
eccentric revolving towards the centre
from the outer edge of the disc an
index works which regulates the time.
This index is like the ordinary regulat
ing levers, the ad ventage of the disc
and eccentric being that the watch
may he regulated to a positive certain
ly and to within a minimum of accur
acy. For instance, if a watch varies
half a minute a day, ten degrees on the
idisc indicate that much time, and by
•.revolving the disc either towards or
(from slow or fast the regulating is ob
tained.
By tlie old means of pushing the re
gulator to make the watch go fast or
slow, there was no certainly of action.
Your watch might he running one
minute per day too fast, you wish to
“touch” your regulator but don’t
know how much to push it, and you
may push it too far or perhaps not far
enough; the consequence is one would
have to experiment with the watch a
week or two before getting it right.

Connecticut, used to .be a newsboy.

The victory of the Democrats ha<
been of such vast proportions and so

moves in a groove cut eccentrically in

placing it in one. of the degree marks
cut on the outside of the disk) you can
move the regulator one-five hundreth
part of an inch, and that move is ac
curately registered by the little index
pointer, which shows when yon have
moved one degree, or half a degree.
Mr. Stevens has shown his remark
able invention to a number of watch
factories, and has already been ottered
handsome sums by them for its use,
but as he intends to make it a distinc
tive feature of the Georgia watch he
has positively declined otters from all
sources. This new invention is thous
ands of dollars to any one factory, and
Mr. Stevens told me in person that he
would not take ten thousand dollars
in gold for it. It will simply work a

a year for free discussion in tbe inter

basis and foundation of the prosperity
of any country. Now, the farmers
could make such an association oi

that would he more agreeable than
the social feature of the affair. The
truth is, our farmers ought to under

ought to know more of each other’s

the New Testament. Much is said
of the creation, of the orlgn of evil,
the decrees of God, of the conditions
of holiness, in the sense of faith in
Christ; much is said of the future
reward of the righteous and the pun
ishmeut of ihe wicked. But the
New Testament has nothing in it it
it has not the doctrine of supreme
and absolute love; and I am not
aware lhat, except as a mere phrase,
any confession of faith has set that
foith as the centre and circumfer
ence of Christian life and experience.
The teachings of the New Testament
are that love is ihe only religion and
that all over the worlJ in Christian
countries th'ere is m> other religion
except love. So that if you have
everything else and miss that you
are like a lantern that has every
thing but a candle, like a man that
has everything but a soul.
“It is the comprehensive disposi
tion and no! a single emotion that is
required, for first and last the ques

the idea of love of passion, though it
includes that just as the life includes
the body as well as the mind. There
is no worship of God which is ils

It is taugiii also that no man can
love God except he practice by lov

“The doctrine of" the New Testa
ment of love carries wilh it a double
capacity of admiring, perceiving
the ideal excellence of beauty of
holiuess ami vet loving men that
represent the opposite. Tho love of
the New Testament is such a turning
of every part of our nature towards
men that neither faults nor things
tfnit are uetestnUTo iiTYliem can pre
vent you from loving them. Can
you see how beautiful truth is and
yet loVi a liar? Can you see how
admirable generosity is and liow de

dispfac selfishness and yet love a sel
fish man? Can you abhor impurity
and yet love the impure? Aud yet
is not that the teaching of the New
Testament? Being a disciple
christ requires that you should be

your disposition. "

C’icero said of Cataline, that, he

less distinguished for courtesy of de
portment, sincerity of manners, and
a benevolence of disposition and no
tion, than for the fidelity, impartial
ity, intelligence, and ability with
wi.icli he di-charges the responsi-
hlt duties tlic public impose >n him.
In private life he -houUl be faithful
lo his friends, forgiving to his ene
mies, true to himself, and earnest
in his love to God and his State. It
he holds an office and serves Ihe
public, he should imitate Fabricius,

riches,anil I will seep my poverty

Battle of tbe Snakes.
Philadelphia Times.
At half-past oue o’clock yesterday
morning as the private watchman of
the Dime Mu«etim was going hie
round* he hail hi* attention attract
ed by unusus-JJy loud noises coming
from tin; thixa&tOry ol the buiidiug
Upon hastening thither he found the
python, the largest snake in captivi
ty (seventeen feet), in deadly com
bat with an anaconda, twelve feet
long. How long they had been
fighting the watchman did not know,
but he says that from the time his
attention was attracted by the noise
up stairs until half-past seven, hie
hour for going off duty, thev kept
up a continuous warfare. When
one would miss his aim and strike
the side of the cage the sound could
be distinctly heard on the ground
or auditorium floor. The python,
after numberless bouts with his op
?onent, seemed to have gathered all
lis strength for a’final attack, which
was made. The anaconda was
ready, and placing themselves in an
upright position they made for each
other with fearful rage. After hav
ing carried on their deadly combat
for fully six hours the python made
a last desperate lunge and succeed
ed in getting the anaconda's head in
his mouth to the depth of nt least
three feet, and holding it ir this po
sition for some time at last com
menced to coit around the anaconda
until it actually ground and mashed
the life out of it The watchman
says he never wants to witness
another such a battle. He had no
key to the ca*e, and even if he had
it is doubtful if he would hare hmi
the temerity to undertake to sepa
rate the reptiles.

Capacity for Sleep.
Public men, subjected to severe
mental strain by exhau-ting duties,
learn to sleep anywhere and at any
time. Napolean once slept for an
hour in the middle of a battle, with
the roar ot artillery about him.
Brougham slept for twenty-four
hours at the close of an exciting
week In the court-room.
A story told of William Pitt,
when Prime Minister of England,
exhibits this facility:
A mutiny had broken out on a
ship of war, and the mutineers bad
imprisoned Admiral Colpoice, and
threatened him with death unless
their grievances were redressed. It
was feared that tbe example would
become contagious, and the mutiny
become general.
JBevoral members of the Cabinet,
led by Lord Windham, went in dis
may to Pitt’s house for connsel. He
was asleep, nut they forced their
way to his chamber and roused him.
The great statesman sat up in bed,
heard their exciting story, and wrote
calmly:
If Admiral Colpoice is not given
up, fire upon the ship from the bat
teries until she is destroyed.”
He then lay down on his pillow,
and was snoring before his surprised
colleagues had left the room. They
could not understand how sleep was
possible in such an emergency.

con
firmed to the Republicans, the De

the house of fiftf nine, quite enough
to k*-ep up a working quorum all the

the Republicans are Maine, Minne

A novel feature in campaigning is
about to be introduced by the Demo
cratic managers in Massachusetts.
The feature consists in a beautiful
voung lady named Miss Annie
Jenness. taking the stump in be
half of the candidacy of General
Butler. Miss Jenness belongs to the
renowned family of that name in New
Hampshire, and is a near relative of
cx-Mayor Jenness, of Haverhill. Sfie
is 23 years of age, was educated iu
Boston, is a brunette, with lustrous
black eyes, aud proved sufficiently at
tractive in the eyes of Ohioans to help
swell the opposition if Governor Fos
ter against him. She will probably
speak in Braintree and other towns,
and will doubtless address herself to
the fair sex, with the view of impress
ing on them the importance of having
their brothers, husbands and fathers
support and help elect General But
ler. Miss Jenness, it is thought, will
make a lasting impression in the rural
‘deestriks,” as she has already done
among many of the old and respected
Democratic “war-horses.’*
Judge Tourgee says the live man

we observe that many who are alive

Dr. Holmes says that Emerson
“took down onr idols from their

One end of the Brooklyn bridge is

A fashion item says “drawers are

The presence of spongilla fluvia-

Yes my boy, there are 55,200,000
