At first the watch was about the size of a desert plate. It hail weights and was used as a "p:ket clock." The earliest known use of the mndtrn name occurs iu the record of 1552, which mentions that Edward VI. had "one larum or watch if iron, the case being likewise of iron gilt, with two plummets of lead." The first great improvements the substitution of springs for weights was in 15C0. The earliest springs were not coiled, but only straight pieces of steel. Early watches bail only one hand, and being wound up twice a day they could not be expected to keep the time nearer than fifleeu or twenty minutes in 12 hours. The dials were of silver and brass, the cases had no crystals, Hut 0iened at the back and front, and were four or five inches in diameter. A plain watch cost more than $1,500, and after one was ordered it took a year to make it. a m A few years since, during a revival in the church of which the Kev. (Sranville Moody was pastor, certain "lewd fellows of the baser sort" creat created - ed created a disturbance iu one, of the meet meetings. - ings. meetings. Mr. Moody, approaching them, took them to task for their miscon misconduct, - duct, misconduct, when one of tho parlies said to him: "We heard that you were working miracles here, and came to see if it were true." "Nu, sir," said the divine, "we do not work miracles, but" taking him by the collar "hut we do cast out devils!" And he "drove him out." It is a pity that the sovereignty bill could not have made a better showing in the Legislature than itdidl It is a wiso measure, and affords the only plan by which au antiquated Constitution cau ever lie reached.

this is plain enough, but it Is not enough; many uncertainties remain. Suppose in the death, or removal, or disability of tho president, there bo no vice president; or suppose tho vice vice-president, - president, vice-president, after succeeding to tho ollice, dies too; tho president of tho senate comes siippMO there senate and condition isted last fill what then? Congress might assemble and choose theso offi officers. - cers. officers. Hut whn is to rail oongrcss to together - gether together in advance of its regular day of meeting? liven admitting that the cabinet might properly issue tha call, or that tha two houses might assemble by common agreement, there would still be a jxriod of several days or weeks in which tho government would be without an executive head. Again, suppose the president of the senate ls not a native-born citizen, or be under .15 years of age, is he t succeed to tha office, notwithstanding his lack of the) presidential qualification? Or in the event of either the president of the senate, or tho speaker of the houo succeeeing ti the office, would ho continue to bo a senator or repre representative, - sentative, representative, as well as acting president? Senator Heck lakes the view that when the vice-pirident succeeds to the office In rae of tho ''ability of the president, he is to conlinua in it till the end of thoterm.even though the disabled president should recover from his disability before the end of the term; but he admits that cases might occur in which the people would iUb. nit reluctantly, or not submit at nil, to such an arrangement. Uo thinks if, during the war, Mr. Lincoln had been disabled by sickness and recov recovered, - ered, recovered, or been captured by the coirted crates aud released, the people of the North would havo revolted against Vice President Hamlin's refusal to restoic tho executive, oflice to their belqvul chief, aud tho samo might bo laid If, after the admitted disability of President Garfield, he had recover recovered - ed recovered and liciu refued tho ollico by Vice Vice-President - President Vice-President Arthur. Tin so are some, though not all of f ho difficulties and uncertainties that surround tho ijueition, and when we rcllect that a few months ago, only a single lifo stood lictwcen them and tho country, tho urgent need tor leg legislation - islation legislation that shall put the whole ques question - tion question at rest must bo admitted. Now is tho timo to settle it on a fair and sure basis, whilo there is a truco to party warfare and tho convictions of tho necessity ol a settlement are strong iu tho public mind, and it is hoped the present session will not come to an end without bringing with it the iwrformance of this important duty.
