value of Machinery applied to Watchmaking is not that by its use Watches are made rapidly, but that they are made correctly.Very few people know why a Walthum Watch should Le superior to any other.In the first place, at Waltham the Watch is regarded as only & machine, to be coustruc- ted, like any other machine, on mechanical princie ples.The Factory is indeed little vise than a vust machine shop, the principal work in which is not more upon watches than upon machinery to make watches with.If the watches are good it is because the machinery is good.Of course there must he nu defect in the principle or plan of the movement, no misteke in the sizes or shapes of the pieces of which it is composed, nothing wanting in their properties, and no error in their positions.These points once thoroughly settled in regard to ench part of every variety of watch, it rests wholly with the machinery constructed with infinite diversity of form and function, expressly for the purpose, to produce the finished pieces.The method established in every department is the reduplication of parts by mechanical means, and this is carried out on the system of the most thorough subdivision of labor.By means of multiplying guages and microscopes, tests and inspection for the detection of wear in cutting tools and for funlts and fluws in steel or stone, sre mude to accompuny the work in every stage from beginning to end.As à necessary result, the Watch gous together a perfect machine.Every part is found to tit properly in its place.Every pin muy be pushed.till it pinches, and every screw turned home.Instead of a sluggish and feeble action, the balance, even under the pressure of the lightest mainspring, vibrates with a wide and free motion, and the beat las the clear aud ringing sound, always characteristic of the Waltham Watch.The machine is a timekeeper from the start, The system of watchmaking is unknown in foreign countries and is entirely oviginal with the Waltham Company.The Company claim that by it they prro- duce watches that cannot be equalled for every quality which makes à watch valuable.Simple in plan und correct in principle, the movement is not ouly beautifully finished, substantial, accurate and cheap, but is uniform to the minutest details, not easily damaged, easily repaired, and when repaired always as good us new, There are different grades of finish in the different varieties of Watches made by the Waltham Company ng there are different sizes aud shapes, to suit all tastes and means, but every Watch that bears the genuine trude mark of \u201cWALTHAM\u201d is qu rantecd to be a good one und nobody need be afraid to buy it.From thé N.Y.Tribune.The American Watch Compuay of Waltham, Mass.established in 1850, has grown into proportions which entitle it to a rank among the manufncturisg enterprises of America.The quality of these instruments is been thoroughly tested by minute comparisons and the resuit is decidedly in tuvor of the home-made over the imported.The first duty of à watch is tu keep good time.Its other uses are decurntive aud subsidiary.The simpler its mechnnisni the more trustworthy its action, and the system upon which watches are constructed by the American Compuuy is the very perfection of simplicity.An importazt question is that of the relacive coste liness of Eurcpean and American Watches.It age pears tha: the advantage of cheapness is also with us.The difference in price is not excessive, but is sufficient to be an object to any purchaser.The virtue of superior durability, however, is oue that ought to be well considered in this regard.American inaten- ments will o itlast all others.It has been estimated that we pay Europe $5,000,000 a year for watches, and a like sum fur keeping them in order.At our own doors watches are manufactured at a less price of better quulity, less likely to become disordered and so arranged that in case of injury by violence the injury may be cheaply and expeditiously repaired.From the N.Y.Times.The country has reason to be proud of the American Waltham Watches, for they are a splendid speci- mean of American operntive genius and enterprise.That it will work a revolution in the watch manufuc- turing of the world no one can doubt who examines the operations of the Waltham Establishment, for it turns out watch movements at just about cne-half of the cost of imported movements\u2014beside the uniform reliability of the machine-made watches must give them a great advantage over ail others wherever known.A poor timepiece of the machine-make will be as rare in the future as à goud one uf hand-make has been heretofore, for maclrinery is arditrary in its performance aud cau mike a perfect article just as easy as one that is worthless.It will be a cause of congratulation if this highly useful Arerican enter- priseshall Lave the effect of driving out of market the thousands of trashy foreign articles, miscalled time-keepers, by furnishing so excellent and economical a substitute.From the N.Y.Herald.We notice with regret (writing of the Paris Exposition) the absence ot specimens of American manufacture, which, although only comparativel, of recent birth amoug us, is awcady producing results of the most satisfactory characier.The Watches manu.fuctured by the Waltham Compary are co rtaialy, so fur as streagth, durability, and excellence as timekeepers concerned, as guod as anything produces by the French or Swiss manufacture.\u201d From the.N.Y.World We have had cue of the wo.ks of 1Lis company in n case for some considerable time, compat.g them with furmer firsi-class works of o'fferent maoufacture possesset by ua, hey huve establizhed, im one opinion, their superiority over any ever introduced for corrects nezs a3 timepieces.\u201d F.om ihe Scientific American, It is believed hat a Wa'tham Watch is wo:th double the price of nny of the imported watches made by hand ' F om Harper's Weekiy.The beauty, the precision.the greater cheapness, the uniform excellence of a watch constricted by smchinery so exquisite that the mere speciacie of its operation is poetic, gradunliy give the Ameriean Watches a public preference which will aot Us de- ecived.FA Eve:y watch fully » -ran:ed.Fur sale by »'i frai-clces deniers in she Uniied S:ates and B.iish Provinces.Por fu.sir infosmati n acticss the Agents,

I1°d eateh more rats und mice, snd sich, Than forty cats could eat, This eat would come into the room And climb upon a cheer, And there herd sit and lick hisself And purr so awful queer That Ferguson would yell at him\u2014 But still he'd purr severe.And then he'd climb the moonlit fenee, And lout around and yowl, Aud spit and claw ano her cat Alongside of the jowl; Aud then they both would shake their tails, Aud jump around and howl, Oh, this here est of Ferguson's Was fearful then to see; He'd yell precisely like he was In uwful sony; You'd think a first-class stomach.nelie Had struck some small baby.An1 all the mothers in the street, Wiked by the horrid din, Waula viee right up and search their babes, To find rome worrying pin; And still this vizorous cat would keep A hollerin\u2019 like sin.And as for Mr Ferguson, \"Twas more than he could bear, And so he hurled his bootjack out, Right through the midnizht air ; But this vociferous Thomas eat, Nu onc ceut did he cure.For still he yowled and kept his fur A standin\u2019 up ou end, And his old spine a Joublia\u2019 up As far as it would bend, As if his hopes of happiness Did on 1.is lungs depend.But while a enrvin\u2019 of lis spioe, And waitin\u2019 to attack A cat upon the other fence, There came an awful crack ; And this here speckled Thomas cat Was busted io the back.When Ferguson enme down next day, There lay his old feline, And not a life was left in him, Althongh he had nine, \u201c All this here comes,\u201d snid Ferguson, * Ot curvin' of his spine.\u201d Now ail you men whose tender hearts Thin p dnful tule does ruck, Just tuke this moral to yourselves, All of you, ehite nnd black ; Don't ever go, like this here cat, To gettin\u2019 up your back.To distributiog the prizes to the members of a Volunteer rifle regiment in London, of whioh her huxbsnd is Colonel, the Duchess of Sutherland made the following speech :\u2014Volunteers of the 20th Middlesex\u2014I have great plessure-in seeing you here for this purpnse, snd giving you the prizes you have so well won, 1t was a source of satisfaction to me that my husband, who has ulways taken so grest an interest in those connected with our rtuilways, should be nsked to belong to the cur;

but the engagement was soon broken off, according to some reports, in consequence of u difference of opinion on Wazuer ; according to others, in consequence of different religious views.King Louis had the reputation of being the handromest Monarch of Europe.With regard to the Germ: an question, he was sujiposr d to bo personally in favor of establishing the most friendly relations with the north German confederation.Mo is succeeded on the throne of Bavaria by lis ouly brother, Prince Othu, born in 1848, who, as King, bears the name of Otho I.The comumissionera sent ubraad to select the best model fur a rifle wherewith to arm the Pope's troops have ju-t returned to Rowe, having decided for the American Revimington rifle as wodilied in Englaud, n simple but solid model.Ten thousand of there weapons have been ordered, and in six months these aro to bo in the hunds of Pio Nono's soldiers.Tlie consumption of tobacco in the United Kingdom has increased from 132 oz.per head of population in 1841 to 1 lb.5oz, por Lead in 1865.Horses in Victoria, Australia, are as unsaleable as sheep.One paper speaks «f them as nuiling at aixpence each.Another says : \u2014\u201c Ou Thurs.dy lust five wero knocked down for half a crown and ten others only realised 28s., the purchascr buying them to feed pigs with\u2014a novel way of di«posing of horsc flesh, it must bo confessed.\u201d But a better prospect is opening up.Eating them does not geom yct to linve suguested itselt to the colonists, but it has bcen found that a profitable use can bo m:.de of the noble anima hy boiling him down.One poor ercature, \u2018 fat but useless\u201d hud realised 15 gallons of puro oil, and © readily anld at the Grat offer, for, currying purposes at Gs.Gd.\u201d and to this, it appenra is tn be added the price of the hide, the value of the hair, the glue from the hoofs, and the bones for manure, \u201cwil of which would be reslized if the process were carried out in a large and aystematic manner,\u201d The Times of India states authoritatively that 238 vessels are employed in the.Indian seas for the Abyssinian expedition, and that the monthly freight, exclusive of coal, is £392,000.A London paper has an account of the * services\u201d on Sunday, at Bath strect Chapel, Lendon Road, the hesd quarters in London of the \u201c Peculiar People.\u201d The congregation consisted of about thirty men, half as many women, and a number of children, principally very young \u2014somae in arms.The males sit apart from the females.They have no paid preacher ;
