Iowa, a State which has not yet completed her twenty-fifth year, has r, hi shown a more rapid increase in pop ulation than Ohio. When the nrst census of the State was taken, in 1840. her population was 4S.000. Iu 1860 it was 675,000, and in 1869 she had 1,040,000. In 1865 she harvested 8.000.000. bushels of wheat; 1869 18 000.000. An appropriation has al ready been made for a State Univer sity and a State ikgrieuiiuranjunege The Prescott (Arizona)Miner gives a partial list of the persons murder murdered - ed murdered by Indians in that Territory since March 4, 1864. The list contains the names, so far as they could be as certalned,ofl62 victims.and theMiner expresses' the opinion that if it could obtain the names of all the persons killed in the Territory since its set tiement at least uuu more wouia De added to it ; while over 200 have been wounded, more or less serious ly, since the beginning of 1864. The Miner does not care to inquire into the robberies committed by the Iu- ii (Ilia nml n.nlaa Itaaklf wiLH r.hft thought that "hundreds of the mur dermis races or savages tnat lniest the Territory have beensent to their long home, and will trouble the white men or more."

It is an impossibility that the hand should be controlled and guided with the exactness of a machine, in Eu Europe - rope Europe the different parts of a watch urn made bv different 'persons, per haps a hundred miles apart. One whole family, father, mother and children, all engaged in the process of making one of the five wheels of: a watch: another family make anoth er wheel, and so on. These different parts are purchased by the Watch masters, ana tne wsmju isput wgoiu- er and made reaay lor tne muget Perhaps it is sent to this country and after being sold, a part becomes broken, and the watch is useless. It can be taken to a Watch-maker, and he can make by band a new piece but the cost of repairing will be great and where the parte have passed through so many different hands in their construction and repair, it will be a miracal if they are all made with that accuracy and adjusted to each other with the nicety that is in dispensable to the correct running of watch. In contrast to this crude and dis organized svstem of manufacturing the mind turns witn renei to tne method we have adopted in this coun trv as developed at the factory of the .National watcn company, at -cigiu 111. An immense buuamg is erectea a corps of the finest mechanics thai can be obtained is employed. A Su perintendent of unrivalled inven tive genius is placed in charge. Ma chines are then "invented and con structed for the manufacture of every plate, wheel, pinion and Bcrew used fh a watch. The different parts of the factory are filled uu with these machines. Men and girls are employ ed to operate them. The wheels, the pinions ana tne screws are turned out by thousands, every part exactly alike, rnese are Drought together under tne same rooi, maue into com plete watches, and sent out into the market. 11 alter purcnase, a wheel breaks, the dealer has bat to send to the factory and purcnase us uupn cate. and the watch is as good as new Surely this brief comparison Is suffi sufficient - cient sufficient to convince any reflecting per person - son person of the superiority of the Ameri American - can American mechanical system. It is super superior - ior superior in theory ana fact. The Elgin Watches are selling in all parts of the country, and are recognized by deal dealers - ers dealers and experts as surpassing in du durability - rability durability and correct time-keeping their foreign and other competitors.
