The First "'l‘iclcrs”' Ever Made in America, How Pocket Timepleces are Made in this Oountry and] Earope—Seme Intereseing Scraps from His- tory—The Rise of a Great Industry. In these days, when the majority of tho adult population carty watchos it is difficult to realize that half a century ago - | watches were a rarity in this country. Fifty years ago not more than one man in twenty carried a watch, and women were seldom known to indulge in the luxury of a pocket timepiece. In 1830 the few watches used inthe United States None were of home manufacture. A Geneva watch was considered the ne plusultra of luxury in our grandfathers’ days, and the posses- sor was regarded with a degree of respect amountingalmost to veneration. Watches fifty years ago wero olumsy affairs, Their shapo was very much like that of a tur- nip.fAThe cases were heavy and ungainly, and the works were clumsy. It could not be expected that such watches would keep very correct time; but they were deemed marvels of mechanism, The first watch ever made in America is_the property of Mr. E. Howard, of William street, this city. It 1s about as heavy as the English watches of fifty years ago, although there is nothing clumsy about it. Its weight and size are due to the fact that having been made to run eight days, it has two main springs. The idea of the makers was that it would be a desirable novelty to have a watch which would run a week, and which would in this respect be different from watches of every other make, [t was soon found, however, that the publicdid not respond favorably to the eight day idea. The watches of this kind were soon abandoned for those which have but one mainspring and barrel, and are wound every day. This *‘first watch” was made in 1850, and has been running ever since. The inions and ‘‘leaves” of this watch are ighly polished, and the piniuns are round and hard and run perfectly true. It has a ratchet tooth escape. Its jewels are ruby, sapphire and chrysolite, and are polished and chamfered, the holes being opened from both sides. The cen- ter and barrels are bushed with German silver. From its present condition there seems no reason why it should not be just a8 good a watch thirty years hence as now. It is a valued trophy of American skill. Nobody could induce Mr. How- ard to part with this watch, which is to him priceless, This watch is regarded with a great dea) of curiosity by people who are permitted to see it. Mr. How- ard keeps it in a fire and burglar proof safe, and he would not be more careful of it if it were a diamond. *“There are doubts as to who made the first complete European watch,” said Mr. Howard; “but there are none as to where belongs the honor of the first watches made in America.” “‘Who made the first American watch?” the reporter asked, “They were twomen who lived in Boston,” was the reply. “‘One of them was a maker of clocksand the other was a repairer of watches. Both were famil- iar with the machinery and tools needed for watchmaking The first factory was established at Roxbury, three miles from the centre of Boston. ‘It was estimated that the capital needed for the pur of launching the watch business and ing it until it should becomea paying con- cern would be about $20,000. It was hoped that the first watch movement would be completed in a foew weeks after the factory should be opened for work, and it was thought that the making of ten watches a day would be a fair busi- ness. Instead of being ready for practi- cal business in a few weeks, it was 1857 before the watches were ready for market in any quartity.” “Then there were many disappoint- ments and delays?”’ ‘I should say so. Instead of establish- ing the business on a capital of $20,000, about $260,000 was put in before an; practical result had been accomplished. The infant enterprise has its ups and downs; the making of the requisite tools proved to be as Jreat a business as the making of watches,” Mr. Howard furnished The Star repor- ter the following historical facts in re- Erd to the origin of watches in Europe. o said: **After long experimenting and many disaj mh.a%h Ir:ter Holn,sAn ingenious mechanic of Nuremburg, produced in 1490 his first and famous *‘pocket clock.’ 1t was in oval shape, and hence gave rise to the name of ‘Nuremburg Egg,'b, which watches were for some timo called. 'his watch was 6 inches wide and 9 inches long. There is no record of how uch it weighed. Jacob Zech of Prague o & famous watch in 1625, It still exists, the case being covered witha wealth of curious emblemstieal decora tions and engraving. Itis in a circular case of gilt brass, 97 inches in diameter and b inches high, In the days of Henry VIII. of England, watches of curious construction were made for monarchs and for a few of the wealthy, but were too costly to come into general use. In the time of Queen Eliuimzh many of the people about her court wore watches, not one in a dozen of which was able to keep time correctly, witzerland became in time the centre of the watchmaking industry. Charles Cusin went, in 1587, from Autun, in Burgundy, to escape religivus persecu- tion, He established himself at Geneva, and is believed to have been the Swiss watchmaker, weight in gold, coiled hair- }) g for the balance-wheel. 1658, presented to Charles 11, of Eng- land a watch containing this improve- to use them for bearings, time pivots had run in metal beari and suffered from the wear. both in accuracy and durability, count of its origin: *‘Mr. Col. G, W, Mason, was Most of these watches made up in external embellishment what they lacked in accuracy as time-keepers.” One His watches were clumsy and heavy, but sold fer their ghay had the cumbrous {ulen chain, and no two of them would Stroet, te Paxton Hotel, O keep time together. The next step in flw Apolie Tax S watchmaking was the invention of the this invention is divided ited Oc- | hetween Huyghens, the great Dutch astronomer, and Dr. Hooke, who, about msl(ljt. Ab(lmt Ll:i; time Nicolas Faccio nauseous ieneva learned how to pierce rubies g‘ “c:v.a::.

The order simply said 4 o'clock, and Col. Mason, thinking it meant 4 o'clock in the after- noon, marched forward at that hour and began killing off the rebels. The Union soldiers, however, were defeated, and the commanding officer was court-martial- ed for not ordering Mason and_his men to the front at an earlier hour, Mason said the order read 4 o'clock and he moved accordingly. The commanding ofticer said he moant 4 a. m., instead of p. m., and, there being a clear misunderstanding, the charge was withdrawn, Col, Mason afterward sent to an eastern factory and had made a twenty-four o'clock watch, which he said would do away with all mistakes, and which he carried during the remainder of the war.” Next came the compensation balance, introduced somewhat over a century ago, Harrison and Berthoud both claiming the honor of itsinventien. Its circum- ference was in two sections, the ends of which were fastened to a cross bar of steel. The outer rim was of brass and the inner of steel. The contraction and expansion of the two metals compensated exactly, and secured accuracy. Prior to this time even the best of watches had been very inaccurate things. Some of th[(;m would vary as much as half an hour a day. Between the Swiss and the English the competition in watch-making has been lively. Systematic division of labor and the very low prico of living have done much for the industry of watch- making in Switzerland. Years ago the Swiss overran the English market with their watches, which were light and far less clumsy than the English, and quite as accurate., Of late years there has been a large de- mand for a clock which would record the goinge and comings of night watchmen in factories, hotels and other large buildings. A clock connected with stations by an electric wire serves as the most potent stimulus to the watchman to make him go his_rounds. It is so arranged as to serve for any desired number of stations, controlling from ono to ten watchmen if necessary. At oach station the watch- man inserts his koy and gives one full turn, This makes its unfailing record on a blank which is locked inside the clock in the office, and which is so placed no watchman, however, ingenious or sly, can tamper with it. The record, when taken out in the morning, shows exactly what stations the watchman vist- ited in the night and the time of his visits. ‘‘Are there no other contrivances for keeping an eye on the watchman?’ “‘Yes; for instance, there is a concern which a watchman carries about him which contains a paper dial on which is to be made during the night by the use of a key fastenod at each station to be visited. By supplying himself with a lot of false station keys, the watchman can punch all the holes he pleases and deliver the detector to the proper official in the morning correctly marked.” RESOUED FROM DEATH.

WOOD. — & URIEP TREASURE. A Large Quaatity of Gold and Jewel- ry Brought toLaght. in Georgia. Atlanta (Ga.) Special. Wilkes county, in this state, is in great excitement over the discovery of a large quantity of confederate treasure, about which 80 much has been said and written. During a storm this week a small oak tree was blown down nine miles from Washing- ton. John Frank, while riding by, saw something shining,and examined;the roots of the tree. He found almost & peck of gold and a large qnantity of jewels and precious stones, Among the latter were diamonds, rubies, and pearls, and many pieces of exquisite workmanship, the value of which has been placed by several connoisseurs at $20,000. AN EXPLANATION, The belief expressed by all who have seen the treasure 1s that 1t is part of that lost by the confederate cabiuet during its flight through this section, The road upon which the treasure was found is the same upon which the confederates retreated. It is supposed that the person who secured this part of the treasure, being unable to carry it off in safety, hid it, and either died a natural death or was killed soon after, and consequently the treasure was never unearthed. The great quantity of jewels and precious stones suggests that they must be the contents of the mys terious jewelry-bov intrusted to M Moss, and taken from her shortly after- ward by o stranger while, retreat- ing through the country. President Davis and his cabinet, together with a number of distinguished confederates, stopped at the residence of Mrs, Moss, an aged widow, where it is belived the last council of the confederacy was held, When the meeting was about owver General John C., Breckenridge called in Mrs, Moss, and, handing her » box of quaint device, told her it was of great value, as it contained rare jewelry which had been pawned by ladies of the Con- federacy for the benefit of the cause,and desired her to secrete it until some one with proper authority came to claim it. When the party resumed its re- treat Mrs, Moss examined the contents of the box, and was dazsled by the bril- liancy which met her gaze, Fen several weeks she kept her trust a profound se- cret and guarded it from hundreds of men | §; who were searching the country for rem- nants of the robbed troasure train, One night » horseman rode up to her residence. Alighting, he called Mrs. Moss aside and in whispered words told her he was the accredited agent of per- sons who had left the jewelry-box in her P sion, and ho had been instructed to call for it, Completely deceived by assurrance and appearance of t day that she hiad been cruelly imposed on. She died a month later, contents of the mysterious box lends The faot that the jewels last found correspond so well with the color to the supposition that they are the WESTERN NEWS, WYOMING, Cheyenne is talking of spending 85,000 or 5,000 in an artesian well, There are now between 250 and 300 saloons in Wyoming, of which about_two-thirds are in Laramie and Albany counties.
