How Watch Cases are Made.
The many great improvements intro
tlnccil in tho manufacturo of tho Jas. Boss'
Gohl Watch Case, have led to similar im
provements in tho making of silver cases.
Under tho old methods, each part of a
tilver case was mado of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
solicited the metal and gave It tho pliability
of lead rather than tho elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keybtono Silver Watch Caso is mado
of one folid picco of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar
ent, for every ono knows that hammering
hardens tho metal while soldering softens it.
To tost tho superiority of tho Keystone
Silver Watch Case, tako one of 3 or. weight,
press it squarely in tho center when closed,
and it will not give, while a caso of same
weight of any other make will givo enough
to break tho crystal. Tho Kcystono Silver
Watih Caso is mado only with silver cap
and gold joints.

SELECT STORY.
ENTOMBED ALIVE,
A locksmith's advk.ntuui:.
In tho summer of 1878 Scnor Hon-
raiidcz opened n llttlo loekstnitli's shop
iii tho city oi Mexico, and soon worked
himself into n prosperous business.
Lute ono evening a lady, closely veiled,
entered his shop, nnd pulling from be
neath a cloak a small Japancso box, re
quested llonrandcz to open it. Tho
look was curiously constructed, and an
honr had elapsed beforo a key could bo
mauo 10 nt it. mo lady seemed ner
vous nt tho delay, and at lenctli re
quested tho locksmith to closo tho door.
This suggestion occasioned somo sur
prise on tho part of Ilonrandcz, but ho
willingly complied. Shutting tho door
and returning to his work, tho ladv
withdrew her veil, disclosing a sweet
and intelligent face. There wns a
restlessness in tho eyo and a pallor in
tho cheek, however, which plainly told
of a heart ill at case, mid in a moment
every emotion for her could givo plaeo
to that of pity.
"I'erhnps you aro not well, madam,
and tho night air is too chilly V said
tho locksmith inquisitively.
"in requesting you to close the door
nan no other obiect than to escape,
the attention of passers by," said tho
lady.
Jlotirandcz did not renlv.
but
Sho
thoughtfully continued his work,
resumed :
"That littlo box contains valuablo
papers pnvato papers and I have
lost tho key, or it has been stolen,
should not wish to havo you remember
that 1 over canio hero on such an er
rand," sho continuedj with some hesi
tation, at tho samo time giving Hon-
randez a look which was no difficult
matter to understand.
Certainly, madam, if vou desire it
If I cannot forget your faco I will at
least attempt to loso tho recollection of
ever seeing it here, said llonrandez.
1 lio lady bowed rather coldly to this
remark-, ana iionranuez proceeded
with his work. Ilavinir succeeded
after much filing and fitting, in turn
ing tho lock, he was seized with a curi
osity to get a glimpse at tho precious
contents of tho box, and suddenly
raised tho lid, discovered a buudlu of
letters, and a daguerreotype, as bo
slowly passed tho box to its owner.
Sho seized it hurriedly, and placing the
letters and picltiro in her pocket, lock
ed tho box, and drawing tho veil over
iier lace, sue passed into tho street,
whispering as sho passed Honrandez
"Remember."
About two o'clock in tho morning,
in tho latter part of .May following,
Honrandez was awakened" by a gentle
tap upon tho window of tho littlo room
back of his shop, in which ho slept. In
a moment ho was at tho window.
"Who s there?" ho inquired, peering
out into tho darkness.
Hist 1" exclaimed a figure, stepping
in front of tho window ; "open tho
door. I havo business for vou."
"Rather past business hours, I should
say j but who arc you I '
"No ono that would harm vou," re
turned tho voice, which Honrandez
imagined wai rather feminine for a
burglar's.
rushing back tho bolt, and slowly
opening the door, Honrandez discover
ed tho stranger already on tho steps.
"What do you want!" abruptly
asKcu iionranuez.
"I will tell vou.'' ntiflu-nrflfl t.lm s.imn
soft voice, "if you dare open tho door
wiuo enough lor me to enter.'
"Como in, said Honrandez. reso
lutely, throwing tho door open, and
proceeding to light a candle. Having
succeeded, ho turned to examine his
visitor. Ho was a small and neatly
dressed gentleman, with a heavy clou:
around his shoulders, and a blue navy
cap drawn suspiciously over tho oyes.
As Honrandez advanced toward him,
ho seemed to hesitate a moment, then
raised tho cap from his forehead, and
looked llonrandez curiously m tho
faco. Tho latter did not drop tho can
dle, but acknowledged to a littlo ner
vousness by hurriedly placing tho can
dle upon tho table, and investing him
self with two or three necessary articles
of clothing.
bmiling at llonrandez s apparent
discomfort, tho visitor said:
"Disguiso is useless I presume vou
recogtnzo mot''
"Ibelievo I told you, madam, when
I opened tho littlo box for you somo
timo ngo, I should not soon forcct
your faco. In what way can I servo
you r
"By doing half an horn's work be
foro daylight to-morrow, and receivinc
S500 for your labor," was tho reply.
-it, is noi ordinary worK, said llon
raiidez. inquiringly "that commands so
tnunifluiont a compensation."
"It is a labor common to your call
ing," returned tho lady. "Tho prico
not so much for tho labor, us tho con
dltion under whioh it must bo perform
ed." '
"And what is tho condition ?" in
quired Honrandez.
"That you will submit to being con
veyed and returned to your own door
blindfolded."
Idoas of murder, burglary and al
most every other crimo presented
themselves in succession as Honrandez
politely bowed and said :
"I must understand something moro
of tho character of tho employment, as
wen as the conditions, to accept your
ouer.
"Will not 500 answer in lieu of an
explanation !" she inquired.
"No, nor fivo thousand."
"Well, then, if it is absolutely neo
essary for mo to explain," sho replied,
"I must tell you that you aro required
to pick tho lock of tho vault, and"
" ou havo gono quito far enough,
senorii, with tho explanation," inter
rupted llonrandez. "I am not at your
service.
"As 1 said, sho continued, "you
aro required to pick tho lock of n vault
auu rescue lrom death a man who has
been confined thcro for threo davs."
"To whom does tho vault belong!"
inquireu iionramiez.
"My husband,' was tho somewhat
reluctant teply.,

"1 secreted him thero to escapo tho
observation of my husband. He bus-
pectcd as much and closed tho door
upon mm, Presuming ho had loft tho
vault and quitted tho houso by tho
back door, I did not dream uutil to
day that ho was confined there. Cer
tain Busjuciuus iicuj oi my iiuhuuiiu hub
afternoon convinced mo that tho man
is there, beyond human hearing, nnd
will be starved to death by my barbar
ous husband, unless immediately res
ent d. l'or thrco days ho has not left
the house. I drugged him less than an
hour ago, and now lio Is bo completely
stupefied that tho lock may bo picked
without his interference. I havo
searched his pockets, but could not
find tho key j hence my application to
you. Now you know all j will you ac

"To tho end of tho world, madam,
on such an rrrand."
'Then preparo yourself ; thero is a
cab at tho door."
Honrandez was a littlo surprised, for
ho had not hoard tho sound of wheels.
Hastily drawing on a coat and provid
ing himself with tho required imple
ments, ho was soon at tho door. There,
sure enough, was tho carriage, with the
driver in tho scat ready for tho mys
terious journoy. Honrandez entered
tho vehicle, followed by tho lady. As
soon as nho was seated, sho produced a
heavy handkerchief, whioh, by tho
faint light of an adjacent street lamp,
sho carefully bound round her com
panion's oyes. Sho then seated herself
besido him, and tho cab started. In
half an hour the vehicle stopped in
what part of the city llonrandez was
entirely ignorant, as It was evidently
driven in anything but a direct course
from tho point of starting.
Examining tho bandago to bcc that
his vision was completely obscured,
tho lady handed Honrandez tho bundle
of tools with which ho was provided ;
then takitifr him bv tho arm led him
through a gate into a house, and, after
taking him along a passageway which
was about fiftv feet in length, and
down a flight of staire into what was
evidently an underground basement,
stopped beside a vault, and removed
the handkerchief from his eves,
"Hero is tho vault open it," said
she, springing the door of a dark lan
tern and throwing n beam of light
upon tho lock.
Honrandez seized the bunch of skel
eton keys, and, after a few trials,
whioh the lady seemed to watch with
tho most painful anxiety, sprang the
bolt. Tho door swung upon its hiuges
and tho lady telling Honrandez not to
closo it. as it was self-locking, sprang
into tho vault. Honrandez did not
follow. Ho heard tho murmur of low
voices within, and tho next moment
the lady reappeared, and leaning upon
her arm a man, with faco so paie and
haeruard that Honrandez started at the
'sight. What intense suitering the un-
fortunato man must havo endured du
ring the thrco long days ot his con
finement 1
"Remain here,'' she said, "I will be
back in a moment."
Tho two slowlv ascended the stairs
and entered a room immediately over
whero llonrandez was standing. in
less than a minute tho lady returned.
"Shall I closo it, madam?" said
Honrandez, placing his hand upon the
door of tho vault.
No ! no !" sho exclaimed, hastily
seizing his arms j "it awaits another
occupant 1"
Madam, you certainly do not in

"Aro you ready ?'' sho interrupted,
impatiently, holding the handkerchief
to Honraudez's eyes. The thought
flashed across his mind that she intend
ed to push him into tho vault and bury
him and his secret together. She
seemed to read his suspicion, and con
tinued : "Do not bo alarmed, you are
not tho man."
Honrandez could not inislako tho
truth or tho fearful meaning of tho re.
mark, and lio shuddered as ho uont his
head to the handkerchief.
His eyes wero carefully bandaged,
and ho was led to tho carriage, and
thence home by a moro circuitous
route, if possible, than tho ono by
which ho came. Arriving in front of
tho house, tho handkerchief was re
moved and Honrandez stepped from
tho vehicle. A purso of $501) was
placed in his hands, and in a moment
tho cab and its mysterious occupant
had turned tho corner, and was out of
sight.
llonrandez entered Ins shop, aud tho
purso of gold was tho only evidence ho
could summon in his bewilderment.
that all ho had just dono and witness
cd was not a dream.
Tho money seemed to bo cursed
From that night Honrandez neglected
his nourishing business, and with the
$500 and that which ho had managed
to save, ho plunged headlong into a
life of dissipation which, in a short
time, ended fatally.

sorrow for her lost husband. It was
known that tho two did not live bar

could bo elicited whereby a tangiblo
elite could bo obtained.
llonrandez had drifted from bad to
worse, until, thrown upon a bed of do
liinim ho was given up by physiotans
as a hopeless case. While tossing in
his delirium ho graphically described
the incidents on tho night of his open

The Oonsolentious Workman,
Tho conscientious workman is a
being we all hear of, but Bcldotn meet.
Tho writer has no hesitation in saying
that thero arc, comparatively speaking,
fow workmen actuated in their calling
by any consideration boyond tho mcro
point of dollars and cents. And tho
writer furthermore begs to observo that
lils opinion they aro not in tho least
be blamed for this ; because if thcro
aro few workmen enduod with consci
entious feeling regarding their labors,
there aro still ioVcr employers inspired
with a conscientious Iccling regarding
their men. What tho writer wishes to
arguo out is tho position, whether It
ays a workman to bo conscientious, it
ns employer bo so or no. The writer
thinks it docs, and for theso reasons :
man who docs his work in tho same
atisfautory and expeditious manner,
under nil circumstances, is an aquisition
and thoso who are in authority, very
soon discover his good qualities ; his
ght may Ho hidden under a bushel for
long time, but it is suro to shine out
at last. Such a man ns this, sober, ac
tive, discreet, intelligent, who docs his
work, not because tho foreman happens
to be looking at him,but from a senso of
right and duty, such a man as this will
riso in life like going up a ladder. Ho
is in the samo position as the man who
keeps his arms down in water ; ho can
not sink if ho tries. That is the con
scientious workman, and people who,
after reading this, resolve to lay in a
stock of the commodity, they will find
it pay them well to use it, and it is like
manna to tho Israelites, there is always
lenty to be had.
Iho writer is perfectly aware that
j vi tow
lias generally
He will find,
tho average workman has
grounds for complaint.
however, if he has not discovered it
already, that brooding over grievances
makes them swell into mountains, and
that grumbling does no good either.
If the workman has cause for dissatis
faction, let him look his position calm
ly in the face, see whether it will be to
his interest to take activo measures in
egard to it: if the result seems doubt
ful let him make up his mind to sub
mit cheerfully to his burden till the
timo comes when ho can kick it away
from him. Tho writer believes this is
good wholesome counsel, and will well
bear a trial. Lot tho workman per
form his daily duties, domestic and op
erative, with tho same cheerful spirit,
doing his duty because it is his duty ;
striving earnestly to master tho craft
he is engaged in to its utmost limits,
to improve that which he finds in ex
istence, and bis lot in lite win oe no
unhappy ono ; on the contrary, he will
find a hope of improvement in his
social position which will be an unfailing
fund of support to him in his calling, and
that if he exercises his stock of con
scientiousness, the more ho disperses of
it, tho moro ho will havo on hand for
future disposal. Ji. ib G. Fnnter and

wrote these names in the register of tho
City Hotel hero at noon on Saturday
last : "W. S. llubbell, lioston ; Miss

wns of medium height and slim build.
My sister and myself," ho said as he
laid aside the pen, "would like adjoin
ing rooms if convenient." Ho got Nos.
7 and 7 connecting rooms adjoining
tho parlor.
Tho young man went out frequently,
but his companion kept closely to her
apartment. They wero lato at their
meals, and encountered few ot tho
other guests of the hotel until Monday,
when they entered tho dining room
punctually at tho dinner hour. Then
Mr. Dickcrman of tho firm of Dickcr-
n it Plumb of this city, who lias
lived in New Haven, recognized the
young man as Walter Malley, ono of
tho principals in tho Jennie Cramer
murder trial. The other guests also
recognized him.
The young woman with him was of
medium build, plump, and wore a well
fitting dark-green dress. Her light
brown hair was arranged in two awk
ward flat coils on the back of her head.
Sho spoko little, nnd was evidently
held in check by her companion, who
was reticent and noticeably nervous.
Mr. IJickcrman, after his dinner,
strolled into the hotel office and said
to tbo venerable proprietor, Curtis Jud
son, formerly proprietor of tho Gram-
ercy 1'ark Hotel, Now lork, "1 see
you had Walter Malley at dinner.''
"No such person m the house,' re
sponded Mr. Judson, exhibiting that
winning smile which ho has been in
tho habit of showing to his guests for
sixty years. Other guests drifted
down from tho dining room, nnd as
sured Mr. Judson that Malley was at
dinner up stairs, and turthermoro that
his companion was lilancho Douglass,
who was tried with tho Malleys in tho
Cramer case. Mr. Judson went up to
see. Tho couple wero still at dinner.
Tho knowledgo of their identity had
spread, and curious glances were bent
upon them by othor diners.
l'retty soon evidently tuoy beoarao
aware that they wero recognized, nnd
thoy hurried to their rooms. Shortly
Walter Malloy entered tho office and
called for his bill. Ho said that ho

A message wns received on Thurs

report ol tho presentation of tho steam-
.1.1.. A . . ,L. 1T.I..I ... . . I
ship Alert to tho United States bv
Great Britain to bo used In the Grecly
relief expedition. Tho reading of tho
report was called for by Mr. Randall. It
was as follows :
In tho search for vessels suitablo for
tho expedition now Preparing to relievo
Lieut. Greely nnd his party, attention
was early directed to tho Alert, which
is the property of tho British Govern-
ment, and was tho advanco ship of tho
expedition under Sir Gcorgo Narcs. It
was desired to aecuro this vessel, as
sho is peculiarly fitted for tho intended
service, and, as tho inspecting officers
recommended her, Mr. Lowell was
tlioroforo instructed to ask whether
alio could bo spared for tho service.
Information of tho wish of this
uovernmcnt having previously and in-
iormauy reached tho untish Admiral-
ty, a pnvato intimation was conveyed
to the United States Ministor to tho
effect that tho British Government had
not forgotten tho very considerate con
duct of this Government on the occa
sion ot tho recovery of tho Resolute,
and that, should any suggestion bo
mado that tho vessel would bo of uso
to the expedition, sho wonld bo present
ed. Tho Resolute, a vessel, as the Prcsi
dent remembers, formerly belonging to
I... r-i-...' 1.-..! C
her Majesty's navy, having been aban
aoncd in the Arctic region, was dis
covered and brought to tho United
States by American seamen, and there
upon was purchased by this Govern
ment of her salvers, repaired, and
returned to Great Britain. On her
arrival in England the vessel was re
ceived by tho Queen in person, and tho
officers of tho United States navy who
took tho ship thither were treated
with every official and personal court
esy. lhe Government other Majesty has
now given the Alert to tho United
States unconditionally, with hcranchors,
chains and such ol her equimcnt as can
bo utilized.
Recognizing this graceful aud op
portune act of courtesy on tho part of
tier Maiesty's Government, tho under
signed to-day instructed Mr. Lowell as
follows by telegraph :
"Her Majesty s Government having
presented to the Government of the
United States tho ship Alert to aid in
the relief ot Lieut, lireely and his par
ty, you will inform tho Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs that tho evi
denco of sympathy with tho obiect in
view receives the highest appreciation
of tho President, as it will that of the
peoplo of the United States. The
President sends his cordial thanks for
the opportune gift of this vessel, which
he accepts in the name of tho United
States, and which will bo used in tho
humane cntcrpriso for which it is pecu
liarly adapted.
A motion was mado by Mr. Kan
dall that the communication bo spread
upon tho Journal of tho House, aud
that it be referred to tho Committeo
on 1' oreigu Affairs with the object of
having a more formal and appropriate
recognition of tho act of tho British

A Bounty on Euin.
Tho floods which aro devastating tho
Ohio valley again this year as thfly did
last call forth observations mado a year
ago. Ut theso noiio is moro patent than
that tho tariff on lumber is simply a
, . r .., I- ..!--
bounty for tho production of such ruin
ns is now read of daily.
Tho tariff excludes Canadian timber
nnd raises tho prico of lumber in tho
homo market.
Tho high prices and big profits tempt
peoplo to tho rapid destruction ot tho
forests to tho very mountain tops,
and woods nro ruthlessly swept away
and into the market, which under tho
low prices of frco trado would bo left
stnnding.
In this heedless way the forests at
tho head waters of our streams -nrc lov
clled and tho snow-covered mountain
sides aro laid baro to sun nnd rain and
tho action of tho open air.
Tho follago which held tho moisturo
as in a great spongo and protected tho
snow lrom sudden melting, giving
forth tho water Blowly during spring
and summer, to sustain the streams
and enrich tho valleys, is gono ( and
tho first thaw and rain hurl down tho
whole precipitation of a season into tho
narrow channels of tho rivers, which
being unable to do tho work of a sea
son properly in a few days, overflow
their banks and causo widespread rum
and unspeakablo woo.
Nor is this all. Tho whole rain aud
snow fall of a winter being thus hur-
ried to tho sea beforo spring has fairly

opened, no moisture is lelt in tho up
lands to supply (he water needed in tho
spring and summer. Great droughts
follow, tho smaller streams show dry
beds, the rivers dwindle into insignifi
cance, fertilo plains and valleys suffer
from thirst, and vegetation dries up.
This is no lancy picture. Tho Uluo
River ,vhich promises to pass if it baa
not already done so tho highest water
mark ever belore recorded on it, last
summer fell to an unprccedently low
stage. Tho actual experience of men
in every long-settled country is that
wholcsalo destruction of tho forest en
tails the destruction of the life-giving
streams, with all tho consequences that
follow. Much of southern Europo has
been made a desert wastes by tho de
struction of forests through ignorance.
With the experience of ages to profit .
by, we cannot plead ignorance, yet wo
aro recklessly pursuing a course that
has dono irreparable damage to other
lands. Tho head waters of the Ohio
tributaries in tho Pennsylvania and
West Virginia mountains aro stripped.
Tho peoplo of Now York aro alarmed
tor the noblo Hudson, and with reason.
Rivers aro mado destructive powers in
the winter and early spring, and aro
robbed of their power of beneficence in
tho late spring and summer. All the
rivers in tho Northwest aro beginning
to undergo tho same sad experience.
1 hero can bo no useful streams if
the forests aro cut away. The reckless
cutting of tho forests will continue
whilo tho Government oilers a pension
for their destruction. Without going
into the general question of the tariff
at all, it does seem clear that tho pro
hibitory tariff on lumber ought not to
bo continued. Yet it will be continued
for some time, and probably until most
of our forests aro destroyed. liujfald
