How Watch Cases are Made.
It is a fact not generally known that the
Jama Bout Gold Watch Casa really con
tain moro pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases Tho demand for theso watch
cases has led to tho manufacture of a very
poor grado of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4 3 to 10 karats,
and a 5 or 0 karat case is often sold for 12
or 1-1 karats. It i3 not economy to buy a
watch caso so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or ono so sod that it will
loso its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dus,t and damaging the works, or
ono so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps tho movement.
It IS economy to buy a Jama Bass' Gold
Watch Case, in which xoxu of these things
ever occur. This watch caso is nof an experi
ment it has been mado nearly u'r(y years.

No Whiskey
Brown's Iron Bitters
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that arc not com
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful tiource of intemper
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Brown's Iron Bitters
is guaranteed to be a non
intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearlj every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi
cating beverages.
Rev. G.W. Rick, editor of
the American Christian AV
vino, says of Drown's Iron
Hitters:
Cin0Nov, id. 1SS1.
Gents : The fooliili wast
ing of vital force in Imsincss,
pleasure, and vicious indul
gence of our people, males
your preparation a necessity;
ami if applied, will save hun
dreds who resort to saloons
for temporary recuperation.
Brown's Iron Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &c, and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent relief.

BLOOMSBXJRG, PA., FRIDAY, JANUARY
SELECT STORY.
TED'S A000UNT OF NEW YEAR'S.
"Hy
Gloifl,
qtilto n
of ten :
tho way," said Mr, S.iiiinul
"I've a letter front Ted. It's
heavy one, voit see, for a chan
but I can t mako out such
T . 4
nines of scrawl. Hole, mamma, sup
pose you imd it."
Huforu Mrs. Glim could reach out
her hand Unulu .Top, Mr. Gloss' bach
elor brother, interfered with : "Let mo
have the hoy's letter s I always did
liko that young scamp of yours."
After smiling at thu down-hill ton
denov of tho superscription, Uncle .Too
soon became absorbed over tho pnucfl
that began in text hand, coiitinuodin
spider-tracks, and at last roso to tho
dignity of hieroglyphics.
Tho Gloss family, tired out after tho
holiday season, wero having a domes
tic cvoniiig in tho dining room. Tlio
library, hung in old Spanish leather,
lacked tho cmbelishmctits that grow
out of dally ti90, and oppressed ono
liko a great bronze extinguisher i the
long drawing-room, tho conventional
New York parlor, was too liko a mam
moth and splendid hearse to permit of
oven its proprietors feeling at homo in
it. So about the dining-tablo were
gathered Papa and Mnmma Gloss, tho
Misses Lou and Hosio Gloss, Mr. Sor
ghum, a gentleman of many smiles and
compliment, oi inruiy suits of lino
clothing, of a dog-cart, and gorgeous
living generally, and Uncle Joe, un
mairied, crusty and rich. There was
also a young fellow called Fred Tru
maino, but ho was only a chap in
papa's office at a small salary. Though
he had good six feet of uncommonly
good looks, still ho wan very modest.
"And no wonder, as Lou whispered
to Kosie. "IIo ought to be. Twelve
hundred a year indeed.1'
Borglmm remarked, in his sweetest
tones : "IIow seldom a poor dog ol
a bachelor liko mo has the chanco of
enjoying a happy family gathering P
A sitjli, caretully given out tor Itosio
only to hear, was a cracoful hint of his
dissatisfaction with a bachelor exis-
tanco.
Mamma Gloss, clasped her plump
hand in a little ecstacy, and answerd :
"No one can havo an idea of tho peace
and content of married life 1" A smile
both material and encouraging, showed
that Mr. Sorghum was an approved
candidate for tho position of son-it)
law.
Lou, who was clover, and had a lofty
bearing and a marblo-whito skin, and
wonderful rows of coal black scallops
on her pretty forehead, mado a proper
anil girlish comment on thu bachelor
remark ; but Uosie, who wnsaconfidiug
bionuo with big gray eyes, said noth
ing, and kept on with her crochet work.
Sorghum used inwardly a warm cmolli
rucnt of Wall street invective, and wish
ed himself tho Afghan stripu that could
so hold her attention,
Just then uiiarho llcilgo (the young
stock brokerage hrm was Hedge V; bor
ghum) dropped in, and noddingl.fami
liarly to his partner io'ined tho family
circlo by taking'a place by Lou's side.
iio exclaimed :
"IIow jolly ! A regular boom in do
mestic evenings, eh Miss Lou 1"
rvow, Uncle Joo was sixty at least,
grizzeled, cleaii-shaven, heavy-browed,
with a cast-iron look that Beemetl mado
to withstand humbug, and a steel cold,
sharp gray eyo that could picrco tho
neatest coating ot sham. Having at
last finished his reading, ho sat awhile
shading his face with his hand ; then
looked up suddenly, as if ho had mado
up his mmd to something, cast a search
ing and discomtorting glance at the
table and said :
"Who would like to hear Teddy's
letter V
"I,'' Baid Sorghum, with ilie liveli
est interest, led must bo a capital
boy. He's your brother." (This last
in an asido to Kosie.)
"luneboy, continued I leu go. Saw
him hero New "i'eai's. Sochcekv. Cheek
is business capital. Ted will succeed.
Let us havo tho letter."
I think my Teddy is very bright,"
remarked Mrs. Gloss, "so I always
keep him away at school, whero he has
tho best of advantages."
"Yes," answered Undo Joe, with an
inscrutable intonation ; boarding-school
is such an advantago to a child of ton."
"Uh, yes, undoubtedly, sighed mam
ma, with a pensive look at tho diamonds
on her nice fat fingers ; "and we moth
ers sacrifice anything to tho comfort of
our dear children.'
Undo Joo coughed noisily, and then
asked : "
"Are you all suro you want to hear
the letter, and that you will sit still un
til the end 7
Quito an amiable clamor of voices
assented : so ho began tho epistle,
which grammatically and orthographi-
eally, ran in this wiso :
Dkak Pathek iVj Moriuut : Professor
Whacker gave us a subjeo for our first
composition when wo cum bao after
tho holidays ho said wo must nto an
account of Now Years & put in to it all
wo saw and herd wilo wo was hotn at
New year so i roto mine & and yister
day ho giv it bao to mo with very good
marked onto it & ho scd for not to
levo it Lyiti roun luco So i guess he
thort it was pretty good & i wil
send it to You so as You can sco i mako
sonio nrocres i brush mv teeth verv
careful ovry nito & i am' entirely out
of poekit money your af son, Tun
ny.
A murmur of amused admiration
wont around, and every one composed
himself, with a smile, for further listen
ing. "an account of m:w yuau's.''
"Boys & gtnis hav fun on Chrismas
and gits presints in their stockings &o
but new Years timo is for grown folks
ciismis evo children has lots of fun so
l think Grown folks oil to havo fun on
uow years ove, i dont want to bo moan
about ntithin so l didiint miser back
nothin to my sister loo when she called

woman wot was a dres inaker Ss had
brort a long tailed pink dres homo
some how fixed up Wrong it sho had
ner nair ail in little iron gruldions to
mako it skullup nico next dav."
Miss Lou Hushed, then laughed aloud
nervouslv to show that aim nm'nvnil tint
joke. Unclu .too without so much as a
miiver of his bushy oyo brows, went
on i
"rosy was sittin with her feet kuried
up under hor eting candy nnd reding a
story uook in ner room slio sed go way
, H An A , III . C . v Xsv
Teddy A ma sho was in her room hav

father was busy play in cards with some
men & hosaid go and sit down mv dear

"So i set down & lookod at boiiio

knowed my sisters good kauso one savs

"blondy is meek and will stayathom
& will not interfear with mo i Guess
says tho other fellow anyway wo will
sharo tho proffets
A funeral silence iell upon tho room.
Hedge looked unnaturally childlike
and unconscious. Sorghum pulled his
mustacho over a bad imitation of a
smile.
''then father ho after a good while
ho got up and put on his cote to go
homo and Just out side the door of the
Club House a man said something to
father and father said lots of Swear
Words that ain't allowed boys in Pro
fessor Whacker's skool nnd "it was all
about a settlement.
"And father said "ho llndunt Got tho
money for it. So i thort it was a now
ycar's presint that Man wanted pa to
buy him,
"then wo went home. Mother says
to pa tho gurls will look elegant to
morrcr it they will bo sure to catch
something witrth wilo at last.
"Father says they better ketch it
pretty quick then for tilings is comin
to an end then all of a sudden pa
pounscd on mo & sent me to bed.
"tho next Day, which was new years,
nobody ct breakfast down stares but
mo and father : father looked splendid
it so did l, Wo had on our bes clocs
it tho carriage was ready to take us
callin. Wen ma it tlio gurls came down
they wero very beautiful espeslmlly loo
tho I like Hosy beat.
"ma s.nys pa what do you think of
chick or Biddvs, and kissed him.
"Pa says bumf ! And wo went Out
and tic banged tho trout door.
Mr. Gloss used, every wilo to turn
Uncle Joe's sttcntion j but ho went ou
mercilessly :
. "Somo of tho Ladys wo called on
was old & some was yung. The old
ones mosely had no necks in their
Dresses & a good many had orftilly
pink cheeks and dirty eyes with black
smuug under them.
"but pa soil the Samo thing evry
wheres.
"How charming You arc to Day
says pa to all of them it he bowed it
bowed. And he kinder laffed and
Bobbed roun it looked Silly and
then he como out and jumped in Tho
carriage and says Swear words agen.
"says i is it fun to mako calls pa
"Says pa its a nusciise so says I wot
makes you do it Pa.
"Sosierty says pa then i asked who
Sosierty was it pa Says Nusense agen
and he tells mo to hold my tung.
"so then wo went to see an ugly old
woman with lots of diamonds it sho
wanted to Kiss mo it I wouldunt do it
it afterwards pa skolded mo it said
sho was Missess Koopons it I must al
ways kiss such a Rich olohidy Then I
asked pa if ho was sick it ho said he
wasn't and I told Him I herd Misses
Koopons say ho was a sick Offant.
"And father sed more Swear words

ma it the gurls wero in tho parlor it so
was the two men that talked A bout

"then ma pinsed Roscys arm and

"charlic forgut all a Bout loo's tem-

witli her fan then lots moro camo in
it they all looked silly like father it
all tho old men told nm sho looked liko
osy's Bister, that ain't so because ma
s orful fat.
By this timo tho wholo company had
ison, and were trying to interrupt the
reading, when Undo Joo in a voice of
thunder, commanded attention. Thoy
all fell back into their seats, and re
mained with many curious changes of
couutcuanccs, silent to tho cud.
then Nito como on it Loo it rosv
went Up stares it put moro wite pow-
ler on their faces iw looked at tliero
Back hair in the 'Glass it loo said rosy

of tho judgment of tho court releasing
her trom tho bonds that had crown irk

in her eyes. Opening tho paper, she
glanced hurriedly over it without read

" 'lako tho h.iletul thing back ; 1
will not have it.'
"I was surprised, of course ; and,
with thoughts not wholly unconnected

with tho now arrangement, especially

Hon. Wita Eiy,
Tlio Oldest Member of Congress,
. t i ri t
in Ago and
Dcrvico.
A BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
In our last week's issue wo gave a
portrait of tho youngest member of
Congress, and as a sequel, wo givo this
week an excellent likeness of the old
est member of tho House, tlio Hon.
Wm. D. Kelloy, of Philadelphia.
Mr. Kellny was born nt Philadel
phia April lath, 181J, and is there
fore nearly seventy years of ago. IIo
received a very thorough English edu
cation and began life as a proof reader
in a printing oflico in his native city.
After a few years service in this capac
ity ho bccanio an apprentice in a jew
elry establishment. Having learned
tho trade ho removed to Boston whero
ho worked live years as a journeyman
jeweller ; he then returned to Phila
delphia and began tho study of law
and in tho course of timo entered the
profession, also devoting himself to
various literary pursuits.
Mr. Kelloy was twice elected Pros
ecuting Attorney of tho city and coun
ty of Philadelphia, nnd served for ten
years as Judgo of the Cotirt of Com
mon Pleas of that city ; was a dclegato
to tho National Republican Conven
tion at Chicago in 18G0, and ono of
Lincoln's heartiest supporters. Ho be
came tlio Republican candidate for tho
Thirty-seventh Congtcss and was elect
ed, and has been returned consecutive
ly every term since his first election, by
an average of about ten thousand over
his Democratic opponent.
Mr. Kelley has been and still is a
conspicuous figure in our National Leg
islature, his utterances commanding a
prestigo consistent with his long ser-
vico and varied experience in public
life. His greatest ambition is to con
tinue during life in his present position
as representative from Philadelphia,
and his constituency wil no doubt ac
cord him this honor.
True Words Well Said.
A father talking to his careless
daughter said : I want to speak to you
of your mother. It may bo that you
havo noticed a careworn look upon her
faco lately. Of eourso it has not been
brought tliero by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away. I
want you to get up to morrow morning
and get breaktast, and when your moth
or comes and begins to express her sur
prise, go right up and kiss her on tho
mouth. You can't imagino how it will
her dear tace. liesides you owe her
a kiss or two. Away back when you
wero a littlo girl sho kissed you when
no ono else was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen fa5e. You
were not so attractivo then as you aro
now. And through thoso years of
childish sunshine and shadows sho was
always ready to cure by the magio of a
mother's kiss the littlo dirty chubby
hands whenever they wero injured in

pillow, havo all been on interest theso
long years. Of course she is not bo
pretty and kissablo as you are. but if
you had done your share of the work
during tho last ten years, the contrast
would not bo so marked. Her faco has
more wrinkles than yours far more
and yet if you wero sick that faco
would appear more beautiful than an
angel's as it hovered over you watch
ing every opportunity to minister to
your comfort, and every ono of theso
rinkles would seem to bo bright wave
lets of sunshine chasing each other over
tho dear face. Sho will leavo you one
ot these davs. These burdens, if not
lifted from'her shoulder, will break her
down. Thoso rough, hard hauiK that
havo dono bo many unnecessary things
for you, will bo crossed upon her life
less breast. Thoso neglected lips that
gavo you your first baby kiss will bo
closed forever, anil those sad tired eyes
win have opened in eternity, and then
you will appreciate your mother, but it
win ue too late,

Philadelphia's New Postoffloa Uuilding tho
Finest in the World How it is Arranged.
According to tho Jlccord tho mag
nificant tiilu of granito masonry front
ing on Chestnut, Ninth and Market
street, to bo used for tho postoflico and
federal offices, will bo opened In n short
timo for business. This edifice, which
has quietly reared its massive hend
during tho last eleven yearn, will havo
cost tho United States government,
finished nnd equipped, nearly $8,000,
000. It is one-half sizo larger than the
Now York postoflloo building, and is
said to bo tho finest structure ot its
kind in tho world. The government
paid $1,-191,200 for tho site on which
tho building stands, but b'uico its erec
tion and the addition of tho Record of
fice to tho block land owners in tho
plot bounded by Ninth and Tenth,
Chestnut and Market havo placed fa
bulous prices upon tho valuo of their
ground. Tlio total appropriations for
tho postofilco have been S0,0.r0,000,
but tho amount was insufiicient, and an
additional appropriation will bo mado
by congress.
Tho building is of granite, tho base
ment from tho Old Dominion quarries,
nnd tho remainder from tho Dix Island
quarrio3, on tho coast of Maine. At
the latter place all tho granito blocks
were cut and marked, and sent hero to
bo put in place. Tho entire work of
setting the Btones was dono by George
Watson, nn expert mason, except ono
season, when ho had an assistant. Tho
digging of tho immense cellar was be
gun on October 11, 1R73, and the work
had been constantly under the caro of
John McArthur, jr., as superintendent,
and A. 31. Smedley as assistant. Ex
Posttnaster II. II. Bingham was tho
first custodian and disbursing agent of
tho funds. He was followed by George
W. Fairmau, then Colonel A, Louden
Snowdon had to look after it, then Gen
eral Ilartranft scanned the bills, and
nfter him camo General Iluidckoper,
who is kept busy in pushing the eon
tractors so as to get his department into
the building as soon as possible. Tlio
building has a front on Chestnut street
of 17o leet 9 inches ; on Ninth street
18 i feet, and on Market street of 175

custodian of tho building. This room
will also bo used as a general lobby for
tho public, and will contain desks,
chairs and conveniences for writing and
reading. Adjoining will bo the assis
tant postmaster's room, and next to tho
Record building will be the apartments
of tho cashier, auditor and paymaster.
All thoe positions arc now filled by Mr.
James T. Bingham, but it is likely they
will bo separated and moro appoint
ments made. Immediately in the rear
of this room will be the ofliee of tho
superintendent of tho mails. IIo will
bo so situated as to command a view of
tho cutiro first lloor. Tlio mailing
department will havo its desks and
boxes under a large skylight in the
western end of tho building, nearest to

will enter and leavo tho building by
way of Chant street to Tenth, and let
