He said that the teh-case making, caused ive competition, liad now oecome general that prices had been ‘‘cut to an extent extremely all honest manufactures ] were primarily responsible for the evil, those in Chicago having been the pioncers in this s of swindling, | which was now confined to no city They would demand that case-makers should furnish them with cases only twelve or fourteen carats fine, but stamped cighteen carat M small manufacturers would o this ptation rather than lose trade, and from the beginning they were readily lead on to make ten-carat casing, falsely stamped, and to induce base metal in various parts of the case. Many of these so-called | gold watches were not stamped at all with any mark of quality, and the sellers could not be held x] onsible for swindling, as the compenent part of the chief value Yet large numbers of watches were sold as gold which contained a gre weight of steel and brass. A ver thick steel spring weighing twelve or fourteen pennyweights, was inscttled in the rim, technically known as the “eentre’ of the w 5 the crown and shank of the stem were hollowed out and filled with brass, and a brass wire was run through the ring by which the watch was attached to the chain. In fact, many cases were cut wherever a grain of vold could be saved, and steel or brass was inserted, The leading watch manufacturers of this city, this gentleman said, had ro- eently formed a combination to prote themselves against this dishonest agred ng tosubject themselvesto heavy loss for a time by reducing the rates of genuine cases to those which were charged for the articles known as “gkin " In order todo this obliged to sell the cases at a ase on the value of the gold than the actual cost of workmanship, hoping thereby to break down the fraudulent alry which had been growing steadily for the last fow years until now it seems to have reached its culmination. In addition to the alleged gold watches which has been deseribed, he said that quantities of “filled” watches w made, many of which were undoubtedly sold as genuine articles, Such a watch- ase was manufactured of very thin layors of gold, with a layer of base metal between, the whole being “‘sweated” together. Really it was a gilt watch, but it would last for ten years beforo the surface was worn and was innocent cnongh when sold for what it was, In the hand of unscrupulous dealers, how- ever, it was very dangerous. An ex- pert could readily detect its charactor by the color and weight, as well as by the use of acids, but with any ordinary customer it would easily pass for gold. Such a watch-case, worth some 823, would in genuine gold be worth 860 or 70, jobbers | and the honest trad dly ro- | ~ | stll striking, ting, ting. He !

The only safety for the pub lic, apart from written guarantees, was the practice of dealing with firms of established high reputation, and con senting to pay the value of the articles if desirod. ~ Buyors (had_been led to | believe that they could get a gold dollar's worth for fifty-five cents, and the sooner they relinquished that de lusion the better 1t would be for them ‘Squire Bray's Courtship, Bray, of Caswell, North arolina, was hunting another wife, but his son Bob, a wil? blade, knock. ed him out of it.

But his prime devotion is to work as a milita rychief. Asa private gentleman he administers his affairs with his own hand. As fortunes go heis not a very wealthy man for a prince of the blood royal with a large family, but he is as punctual in his payments as in his own espondence, He never lots him- self owe either a letter or a shilling co Our Northern Boundary. spondence to the Salt Lake Tribune Not one in a thousand, perhaps, of the 50,000,000 of people living in the United States know how their *coun- try is bounded on the line between the United States and the British Teritory. 1o will be interesting, therefore, to know how the Northern boundary is traced and marked. The work is now completed, except as to the Torritory of Alaska, ceded by Russia to us ‘under the treaty of 1867, Ever since the treaty of Ghent we bea establishing our northern boundary with Great Britain, until a year or'two ago, when the work was nally completed by a joint commis- sion “conmisting of Major Donald R, Cameron, royal artillery; Captain S, Anderson, royal engineers, for Great Britain, and Archibald Camphell and Captain Twinning, United States army for our government. The com- missioners ecperienced difficulty in discharging their duties, from the er- rors committed by former commis- ners. In April, 1870, while en- ged in locating o military res- ervation for a post near Pembina, our engincers discovered that the| COMMONLY RE( ED BOUNDARY LINE between the British possessions and the United States at that pl was 4,700 feet south of the forty-ninth parallel, and if run on west from such an in point, would throw the fort of the Hudson Bay company at Pem- bina into the United States. Here indeed was a difliculty, and the offi- cers at once communicated the facts to their government, and re: the consent of ‘the United States to occupy the fort of the Hudson Bay company until the matter could deter- minded, Of course such a reasonable request was at once granted. The president then sent a message to con- gress, recommending the establish- ment of a joint commission to fix the true boundary line betwen the two countrics, and congress assisted appro- priating $100,000 by joint resolution to carry on the work. * The appropri- ation was not available until 1872, when the work was bogun, as abov royal family; yet he speaks German perfectly, without tie faintest English accent, © When talking to two of his equerries, Gen, Macdonald or Col, Tyrwhitt, he always spoaks in English As there was 1o hope of getting any ation in this country which would guard against the perpetration of the frauds in question, this gontle- man declared that only one way re- mained for the public to protect itsclf in the matter. This was for every purchaser of a gold watch to demand a written certificate from the facturer that the eighteen carat gold When private custor sisted upon such cer thro! ot the correctness of the gua He said that frauds sim practiced in wat ran_through every lime of yand gold work. The standard finencss of watch chains was in this country fourteon 3 being two carats less than in England, as the lower le was harder and wore better. Yet it was now ex- tremely difficult to find o genuine fourteen carat chain in this market, nearly all the chains sold as such not assaying more than twelve carats. Froquently the swivels were stamped fourteen carats, thereby leading to the false belief that the ‘chains were of thesame fineness. H otted to say that such were manufactured and sold even by firms of good reputation, and that retailers who bought them from jobbers were often deceived as well as the customer. In this matt as in regard to watch cases, the exac tion of an explicit written guaranty was the only method of protecting the purchase “Filled” and plated chains were usually sold upon thoir merits, and chiefly in the ruder parts of the country, Thousands of wedding rings, he said, were annually manufactured, filled with a brass wire ran through the center of the circlet, and stamped with a device resembling an eighteen- carat quality mark, though in reality it signified nothwg. There was no doubt that these were sold as gold, and many of them at but little less than the legitimate price of gold, In the manufacture of fancy gold neck- chains for ladies’ wear, it was nec sary that the links should be made hollow in order to give them the pro- per degree of elasticity. Hence they were spun over a copper wire, which was afteward, by honest makers, en tirely destroyed by the use of a stron acid. It was now a common practi however, to use a solution of acid which crumbled away only parts of the wire and left little sesments of cop. per to increase the weight of the chains, Probably nine-tenths of the hollow-litk chains, which were sold to dealers by weight, contained more or less of this copper filling, rings of unadulterated gold were rare- ly obtained by purchasers, the prac- tice being to run a brass wire through the “‘shank” or circlet, and frequent- 1y to insert a thick piece of bLrass at t{:u back of the stone, beneath a thin nty. . gold layer. gold veneer. to those | Cameo | of pre Sleeve buttons, sold as gold, were also frequently backed with brass, or were of silver with a[erable woher, still and to Capt.

There is always a sadness i parting which is heroic; there is always a sor row in saying farewell whicl conse crates the moment to virtue, ‘‘My Native Land, Good-night!” was not | the irony of the exiled libertine, but the sigh of the despairing poet. Those whohava heard *“Farewell My Own, warbled by an exhausted tenor with the last ““‘Pinafore” troupe of summer can appreciate the ineffable sadness of the thought. The picturesque story of a pir.ing between two young lovers of Chicago has somehow grown to a whisper, and is causing a sensation in certain knowing circles of the city. al days ago a young man, who about iling out in the west” in rch of fortune and fame, found the day of his departure at hand and ¢ fair young girl with black oyes to be left behind, They were “‘sweet hearts,” with the approving smiles of | parents, and he was make a nest somewhere in which he would in time install her.
