In 1875, thirteen men comprised the entire working force used in the manu facture of the James Jim" Gold Watch Care. Now over five hundred are employed, and the numlier is constantly increasing. The rea son of this increase is this: In the Jam ft lijrf Cold Watch Case all the metal in si0-ht and subject to wear is solid yoW, while the re mainder, which only lends strength to the case, is of stronger metal than gold, giving gold where gold is needed, and strong, elastic metal where strength and elasticity are needed, a combination pro ducing a watch raae better than solid gold and at owe-half the co?t. ,r "uj Over 200,000 of the-e cases " have been sold, and every jeweler in the country can testify to their quality and merit, Lrantnroit, Mich..

A Alderman. LOVE'S VICTORY. The clouds were massed in crimson gloiy in the west, and on them were fixed the large, beautiful eyes of Lady Florence namniersiey, who stood looking from one of the many windows ot ber new home. It was the eve of her wedding day. Scarcely eight bours previously she had sworn to love, honor atid obey Huth Ham mersley, the wealthy metiufacturer, until death did tbem part. He it was who now occupied her thoughts and shut out the splendid landscape, glinted with the glory of the dying day. Natural enough for the husband to fill heart and mind alike ot his bride, yet a frown coo tracts the low, white brow, an ominous glit ter shines in the wonderful gray eyes. nd a scornful smile plays about tho exquisitely curved lips, while the little I and. erasping the curtain, is tightly clenched. A sound breaks her revery. She quietly turns, as the door of the room Is softly opened, and the figure of a tall, powerful man darkens the threshold. 'You find all to your liking. Florence?' he asks, and voice and eyes alike are tender as he pute the question. 'A rcouient ago yes,' she replied. 'I was alone.' A shade darkened his face. 'Alone, Florence? Is my presence really sodistatetul to you?' She shrugged her shoulders, and turned her face once mors toward the open window. With one stride he had reached her side, and laid his hand upon her arm. 'Answer me 1' he said ; and bis tone was a command. 'To day you swore to make my happiness. I knew that the daughter of ne of Eogiand's proudest, if poorest, peers would not have stojped to the plebeian band of the rich manufacturers son, had It Dot been that the fortunes of her bouse had sadly fallen ; I knew she was no hypocrite, to feign a love she did not feel. Bui I did not know she gave scorn for love, or hatred for courtesy. She was a woman, I a man. She bridged the social gulf between ns when she became my wife. Florence, do you al ready regret the step?' Bitterly I madly f she cried, raising her eyes to bis, and letting him see) all the scorn and anger in their depths. 'Yon sav I was no hypocrite. I was, but I will be so no longer. You need not talk alone of my am bition. What of yours? Tou had money, not rank, social position. The latter I give you In exchange for your wealth. The bar gain is an even one let us cry quits, but let us have no talk of love or heart, or senti ment; let os bury these In a mutual grave, and on it nprear a monument of distant courtesy. Do no. make me bate you by forcing upon me tbe rights you bare as sumed. Leave me my solitude, unless when tbe world demands It otherwise. I will not Intrude upon yours. Tbe young man's face was of an almost ghastly pallor as she finished speakiug. His band dropped from her arm. 'Though I may boast no title, my lady,' be said very slowly, 'I claim nobility's truest rank tbe rank of a gentleman, to whom tbe wishes of the woman be bas made bis wife are law. You hve net spared me in ex pressing yours. Allow me to offer you my deepest sympathy for the cruel fate which tempted you to make the sacrifice on which tbe chuieh this morning set its seal, and which I, for the first time appreciate. Hap pily, madam, the borne to which I have brought you is not a cottage. When you wish for me, command me. Otherwise I beg you will consider your i partments a cas tle, at whose gate Hugh Hammers ley will never knock, either as suppliant or intru der.' He bowed low as he ceased speaking and slowly recrossed the room. On Ita threshold he paused. Did be expect ber to call biro back, or at least to soften her cruel words ? If so, be was wrong. His hesitation was scarcely perceptible. Tbe door closed be hind him -the young and beautiful woman was again alone. An expression of surprise, of almost ad miration swept over ber face, then tbe old scorn blazoned there. At least be understands me now,' she murmured, 'but for a plebeian, he did it well.' j Rank for money. It had been a fair ex change, the worid decreed ; and many a house, hitherto unknown land to the young , Inheritor both of his father's fortune and ! the great workshops which covered acres of ! space In the very heart of the great city, j now welcomed hint to itsefe and its tables. ! Fair women smiled upon hitn, and men who once would torn their backs, listened to his i opinions with attention which grew into re ; spect. j If the young bride ex&eeted to be ashaiu j ed of her husband, the expectation was des tined to disappointment. Oo every side she heard praise, and the frown vanished from her brew and the ?cjrg from her lip. Never did he fail In courtesy toward her ; never did she express a wish left unfilled A cheque-book. ith blank cheques signed by his signature to bt filled up as .she wished, lay on her toilet table. Hitherto her life had been one of almost penury, spite ot her exalted rank. A marriage de eonre nance I ad been the sole resort left her anil she had un hesitatingly availed herself of It. Her beauty unrivaled even with the old shabby setting, was now enctianced by ex quisite toilets and priceless jewels. She hart all that hvr fondest dreams had pictured, yet day by day a restless, unsatisfied longing gnawing at her heart, and she looked about in rain for the unkuown something which should satisfy it Once as she and her husband were driving home together from some brilliant fete, re member! ng some remarks concerning him which had readied her ear, she glanced toward him. i 'A wonderfullv handsome roan.' a woman high in rank had said, and his wife was comrelltd to confirm the verdict. 'Hugh, are you not well?' she said, and laid her gloved hand on his arm. He shivered al her touch and drew himself hastily away. At that moment the carriage stopped and the footman threw open the door For the first time he permitted the man to assist bis wife to alight, he following her up the stairs and disappearing within his rooms. She mounted the steps slowly, and when within her own apartments stood still. 'He has learned to hate me,' she said to herself, 'to bate me ! and I ' . The rest of the sentence was left unfin ished. There was great excitement in the town. The men belonging to Hugh II stumers ley's factories had struck for higher wages, and he had refused their demand. It was a principle of right with him. He w,ts both just and generous In the prices paid them, and he determined not '.o be co erced into a step his judgment told him was but the first toward proving that his work men, not himself, might hold the mastery. The immeuse buildings were closed ; the heavy looms were still ; the drinking places throughout the city were constantly filled with groups of sullen men, who had already lost what the advance would gain them in a year. Days merged into weeks, and sullenness found voice, and voice merged into threats, and the threats directed themselves against one man, the master of the works. It's all very well for bim to ride in his carriage whi we starve,' they said. 'Let him look to himself. Hungry men are des perate.' At last these threats reached his ears. For the first time since that memorable day, almost a year before he presented himself at his wife's apartments. As a voice, in an swer to his knock, bade bim enter, be open- i ed the door. j By arrange coincidence she was standing in the self-same spot, but a deep crimsou flush mounted to her forehead, and betrayed i her surprise at this most uniooked for visit. She took a step forward to meet him, but paused. He was tbe calm, self-possessed one of tbe two. I would apologize for my intrusion,' he said, 'but that when I make known its ob ject you will understand its necessity. 1 hear this morning that the men are banding themselves into rioters. My bouse will be the first po'nt of attack. I deem It best that you send your jewels and valuables to the bank, and seek some place of safety witn any of your friends whom you may prefer.' 'Atid you ?' i 'I shall remain here.' 'But there Is danger,.' 'True ; but no man hitherto, I think has suspected me of cowardice, and as my post is here, here I will remain. I shall take all measures for my safety, then meet whatever comes. In case of the worst and doubtless at this juusture my life Is threatened I have left al. my affairs In shape, and need hardly assure you. madam, tbat my wifu's future bas been my first concern.

'She, I am sure, will be delighted to welcome you. Will you chose ber bouse ?' No.' Whose, then ?' I shail remain here.' 'It Is Impossible.' And why ? You sUy. A wife's place is beside ber husband.' He smiled bitterly. 'This Is scarcely tbe time, madam, to re member your vows. Forget tbem, I pray you, In this, as In all eise. 1 must insist upon your choosing some other shelter.' She shook ber bead. 'I cannot,' abe murmered, in a voice so low tbat bt could scarcely catch tbe words. 'You caonot? Is there some reason, then, I do not know ?, Perhaps, but one I cannot confess. Re spect It, however, 1 beseech you, and let me remain.' '1 could scarcely bope, madam, to be es teemed worthy of your confidence, neither can I use force in compelling you to leave this house, but I must exercise a husband's rights In demanding your obedience. Tbe danger Is too obvious to permit you to share It, Be it so, then. Within an hour my apartments will be vacant-' 'Shall I escort you to your friend's bouse ?' No, I will go alone.' She hesitated a mo ment 'You will promise roe not to run any unnecessary risk ?' 'No man should trifle with his life It is Heaven's gift,' be answered, and abruptly left ber standing with clasped banda and heaving bosem.

Oh, Heaven spare bim I spare him 1' And tbe fell In bitter weeping on ber kneei. It was midnight when the mob attacked the house. There were loud ciies for the master. L-t hira speak to us. and we will listen !' they shouted. Within the barricaded windows Hugh Haminetsley heard and undcrr-tood. He advanced toward one of the window?, and began unlastening the barriers. The fore man of the winks hastily seized his arm. You are mud !' be said. '1 have despatch ed a messenger fir assiatanc. Show your self, and your lif will not be worth a mo nieiil's ransom. It is a ttick to make you show yourself. "The master ! the master !" came the loud cry. Tney are right.' said Hugh. 'Ther re spect they used to eare for me. I will talk to them. If they kill tue. a man cannot die iu a better cause than lu doing his duty. My duty lies iu proving my cause right. Let me go.' But at this instant a dress rustled at the door. HukIi turned. His wife, pale and Iteaiitifui, stood upon Ine threshold or the room.

But. oh. do not cast away the life witltout which mine could not exist!' He look d at her as in a dream, then mo tioned for the others to withdraw, before he lifted her from where she kuelt. How came you here? he questioned. Poor child ! the terror has turned your brain.' 'No, Hugh ; no ! 1 could not leave you. I said that 1 would go, only tbat I might stay.

Silence fell as he spoke a few earnest words. Ere he bad finished tbe tramp was heard of approaching soldiers but they were not needed. The strike was ended.

It has been much ques tioned whether iron was employed at all by tbe Egyptians until thn time of the Ureolc conqu. st The weapons, implement, and ornaments of iron which have been found oo the sites are so few, while those of bronze are so numerous, and the date of the few iron objects discovered is so uncertain, lhat tbere is a strong temptation to embrace the simple theory tbat iron was first introduced Into Egypt by the Ptolemies. Difficulties, however, stand iu the way of the complete adoption of this view. A fragmentof a thin plato of iron was found by Col. Vyse Imbed ded in the masonry of the great pyramid. Some iron Implements and ornaments have been found in tbe tombs, with nothing about them indicative of their belonging to a late period. The paucity of such iuetances is partially, if not wholly accounted for by the rapid decay of iron in tbe nitrous earth of Egypt, or wben oxidized by exposure to the air.' It seems, moreover, very improbable that the Hebrews aodCanaani.es should for centuries have been welt acquainted with tbe use of iron, and their neighbors of Egypt whose civilization was far more advanced, have been ignorant of it. On these ground the roost judicious of modern Egyptologists seem to hold tbat, while the nse of iron by the Egyptians iu Pharaonic times was at tbe best rare and occasional, It was still not wholly unknown, although less appreciated than we should have expected. Iron spear heaJs, Iron sickles, Iron gimlets, iron brace 'ets, iron keys and iron wire, were occasion ally made use of; but the Egyptians, on tbe whole, were contented with their bronze Im plements and weapous, which were more easily produced.

A professional conjurer not long since re lated to the writer the following story of his escape from roughs and outlaws iu the mountains of Missouri. It shows very viv idly how in fiontier life where the restraints of civil law are not felt, men take tlie law Into their hands and resort to violent meth ods, losing all regard for the sanctity of hu man life. Wa give the story very much In the narrator's words : "I had been giving entertainments at Huntsvllle, near tbe headwaters of the Whit river in Arkansas, and concluded I would cross over into Southwest Missouri, and try my luck among the new towns that were springing up along the road that had just been built there. To get to that locali ty 1 found that I must either go ronnd by way of the 'Nation,' or else take my wagon and apparatus over two long, &ep spurs of the Ozark s. 'Over the mountains waa tbe shortest way and the road, though rough, was used by teams. It was an old military aud freight route, hut n-t much traveled at that time, and there was just one olijt-ctiun to it; the habitants all through the region were a law less set illicit distillers, horse thieves and all sorts of roughs, who were up to all softs or mischief to accomplish their own pur poses. Of course, all the people were not of that sort, but large numbers of such fel lows were scattered all through the rooun ta! ns. Then, too, ii was only a little while arter Plnkerton's detec'ives had arrested the James and Younger boys and their friends ; so every nest of these wretches was stirred up, and the men were suspicious of every stranger who mad his appearance. They watched all newcomers like natural born Apaches am', made trouble at once if they saw one of them looking li.to things a little too closely or asking too many questions. 'Of course I had warning enough, but I was more headstrong in those days than I am now; and I concluded I would venture to take the shortest way to my destination, as it seined to me that 1 carried the evidence of my profession as conjurer and magician, with me, you know. Well, I did get over the first spur of the mountains without any trouble, and rather enjoyed my ride. 1 did not meet many peo ple, and those I did meet were very shy and suspicious ; but I managed to make friends with them when 1 had time enough to talk awhile. 'Every now snd then tr.e trail would lead me into one of it? close mountain 'pockets' that passed a little dealing and a squatter's dirt roofed cabin, and where I always touud tbat my company was not wanted. There was generally a lot of children out on the open, wbo would scurry away, and try to hide among the nearest bushes, like a bunch or flushed quail, and then the face of some old woman would be turned on me from the half-open door of the cabin, and would stand and glower tiM I'd passed on and out of sipht. But, as 1 was saying, I got up into the spur of the mountains without any serious tiouble, thongh I found without any serious trouble, though I found tbe tiail very rough and stoDy. Well, I hadn't traveled these hills more than twenty-four hours when my horse became lame, and I found I must go into camp at least for a day. So I halted about ten o'clock tbe second morning on the side of a steep mountain, in a deep pocket, where there was a clear spring gushing out or the rocks and running tfown into tbe valley below. Istiyed there all that day, and doctored my horse witb some liniment that I carried. 'But old Begums, as I called hira, did not get much better, and so tbe bext day I stl.I remained In camp. During that time I did oot see a human being and had oo Idea that anybody in tbat region had noticed or thought or me. But just about an bour be fore sun down I heard the clatter of hoof below on tbe trail and a moment arter np galloped five big mountaineers, dashing recklessly against my wagon. Gentlemen, I was scared tne moment I saw them, and 1 was very much more fright ened when the two leaders drew their pis tols, and, without another word, yelled : Hands no I' Hands up I 'All right,' said I, and lifted tbem meekly at you please. 'We're goin' through your wagon,' said a big, whiskered fellow, who seemed to be the leader of the gang. Very well,' said I. 'You'll find a gunny sack full of twenty-dollar gold pieces, two chests of silver and three hundred thousand In Government bonds. Tbat pleased tbem and they laughed as though they enjoyed the loke. We ain't on the scoop, stranger, said the big one. 'It's you we're lookin" after. I reckou,' I answered, rather dry-like. Go ahead, gentlemen ; you'll find the evi dence of my profession of honesty In that wagon.' All this time the captain and one ot bis mates sat In their saddles, pointing tbeir six shooters at me, while tbe rest of tbe gang got off, tied their horses, disarmed me ot my only weapon, a Colt pistol, and tben be&an rummaging my wagon. They seemed rather surprised ml the things tbey turned out. On the wrong scent this time; be s a ped dle! feller. I reckon.' said one of tbem. I began to feel easier. But presently be drew out a small wooden cbest that contain ed some ot my most valuable conjuring ap- patatus, and buist It open. He rummaged a minute, tben seized sometbing be saw and pulled It out witb an oatb. Tben he turned to me with bis face white with rage and shook in my face, two pairs of handcuffs and a pair of ankle-Irons tbat bad been stowed away in tbe very bottom of the box. 'You see, I'd bought them with some oth er apparatus from a showman two years be fore, who had given up business. The Irons locked with a key, as do tbe common ones. but witb secret springs lu tbem. These springs were touched by bending over the middle finger ; and presto I they'd open as If they were bewitched. If a secret spring in tbe ankle-irons was also touched tbey would spring open also. Tbey were nothing but trick Irons, but they played me a sad trick tben: Tbese men took tae for a reve nue detective at once, and there wasn't any nse in my trying to explain matters. This la sufficient evidence what hit pro fession is,' yelled tbe leader ; 'all we want now Is to bang bim to the next tree. Put bis own Irons on bim, boys.' I submitted quiet ly euoueb, and In less than five minutes I was sitting on the ground. Ironed hands and feet At a word from tbeir leader all of tbem but one, wbo sat on the log near me, went behind the wagon and held some sort ot a council together. It ended In three of them riding off up tbe trail In tbe direction i I had come, and tbe (ij'irr two squatted on j a log to keep guard over me. lining to gather a rrowd before they do their hanging,' i said to in j self: Well,, that's better than I expected. You sen I had feared that they would do their fiendish work at once after thsy Lad j held their meeting Vhlnd the wagon, and I I hoped uow to have a chance to show them the trick of the Irons and other perform ances. 1 breatned a little freer when 1 saw tbe three ride off, and as soon as tbey were out ot sight, I commenced talking to my guards. Thev weren't Inclined to say much at first, thouuh I talked on all sorts of subjects; in fact. I tried L get into an argument witb them, and not succeeding ia that 1 told them 6tories ; but tbey eat there without opening their lips, and grinned, and watched me suspiciously. 'Finally 1 began to boast extravagkntly, telling them what I had done and could do in tbe way of tricks and feats of strength. At this one of them became iodigDant and declared with an oath that I lied when I said that I could lift the log they were sit ting on and hold it at aims' length above my head. I'll wager you a hundred dollars in green backs I can do it, it you'll unlock tbese irous,' 1 said. They looked at each other and then i laughed. Show up your papers,' said one of thetn. with a slow grin. They arc in my breast pocket.' said L glaocing down, 'and I'll tell you what I'll do ; I'll wager you a hundred dollars against twenty five tbat both of you can't lift tbat log above yom bead and bold It at arm' I length.' 'We'd accept yer bet if we had tbe money with us, stranger,' said one ot tbem, a young, square shouldered fellow, wbo was , always laughing, and seemed rather good natured i 'Well, I'll wager It against your weapons, I I said in a breath. I 'You're pretty wide awake, stranger, ; said the good-natured one ; 'don't yon know j ye ain't not three hours to live ?' f 'That dou't make aoy difference,' said I ; i 'I must have something to take op my mind, and this will do as well as anything I know ! of.' ! 'With tbat tbe old fellow nudged tbe young one with bis elbow, and whispered : something to him. His companion listened I and his eyes sparkled. I watched them almost breathlessly. They talked for a mctont or two in tones too low for me to hear, and tbe young fellow I turned to me.' I 'Stranger.' said he, 'will ye give us yer i oatb not to tell the boys ef we takes yer bet uu wins yer money ? wen be sqaare, though, and tell ye that ef ye wins the pih tols, ye won't git ni now, but we'll send 'em ter any wbares you says.' That is fair.' said I, and reasonable, and it I win, you are to send tbe money and pit to my brother, 11. n. Macqaie, 753 Dash, stieet. St. Louis.' 'Well, you will hardly believe it, but those fellows exchanged solemn oatba with me that tbey would do what tbey said. 'Tbey then pulled out my pocketbook, took out the one hundred dollars all I had laid them on tbe ground, laid their pistols and belts on top ot them, and then took told of the log. They raised it somewhat. It made them stagger rrom Its great weight, for a minute, but tbey gripped it witb tremendous strength, and finally worked it on top of their heads where they steadied it witb their hands, for a breath. Tben tbey turned tbeir eyes up and began to iaise it, so as to bolti it at arms' leuutb. Il took them a few sec onds to accomplish this, but they did it; bald it theie a moment and then dropped it aad turned to claim tbe wager. But they found themselves looking inta. tbe muzzles of their own pistols, witb aia standing behind tbem. If it had not been so serious a tituatioa for tne, I could almost have laughed at tbe expression of their faces. They turned white, their eyes bulged out and tbeir jaws actually dropped. There tbey stood with tbeir mouths open, not able to speak a word, tbey were so surprised and terrified. Gectlemen,' I said, as quietly and steadi ly as mj nerves wonld allow, 'it isn't neces sary foi you to say a word. Do as I tell you. Sit down on tbe ground, side by aide, and stretch out your legs.' They did as I told them as meekly as lambs. Tben 1 kicked tbe Irons tbat I'd Just sprung off from my ankles In front of tbe young fellow. He was the one wbo bad put them on me, and be bid the key. Put those ankle irons on your mate, and lock tbem,' said I. He did it without a mo ment's hesitation. Now put tbe handcuffs on bim, I said in a more commanding way, to tbe other, for be was a different kind of a man. He reached out and took tbem aDd did as be was told. 1 then put tbe pistols in my belt, backed up tbe wagon and got one of my trick ropes and then went around behind tbe older man and pulled bis bands back of bim and tied them as securely as I knew bow ; then I cut tbe rope and tied the yonng fellow's feet ; and then, fearing tbey might find tbe secret, springs, I tied each ot them wbere tbey were Ironed. Tbey did not say a word during all tbit time, but sat there glum and angry. I toek tbeir best horse and untied bim as quickly as 1 could, for I knew tbat time was pre cious, and arter picking up my money, just as I was jumping into the saddle, I said : Gentlemen, I shall bave to take this horse, but I shall leave my own horse and wagon and other property tbat will more than pay for bim, and settle tbe wager be sides." All right,' growled, the young fellow. 'Better be gitten', though.' It was evident tbat tbe men wero incllded to respect tbe pluck I btd shown and this respect for courage I bave seen manifested many timet among tbe roughs of tbe frontier. Well. I did 'git, I kept to the trail and the same direction I bad been going, and rode like Jebu all night long, for 1 knew well I should be botly pursued. Tbe next morning I came down out ot tbe mountains and put up at a little town ia tbe valley ; and I am happy to say I did not see any of my moutalneer acquaintances again. Tbat professional trip was a serious loss to me pecuniarily; but I was only too happy to lose tbe money and get back to civiliza tion safely. I bave often thought I should like know bow tbe affair tumed out with tbe two men 1 left behind, and what tbey said to tbeir eomrr.des, wben they came back with a gang to bang me ; but I have never beard a word from tbat locality since I left It.
