WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AXI)
WHAT THEY DOST WANT.
In a late speech by Judge Thurman,
he has made a spirited summary of the
popular desire as expressed by the e
lections of this year. He says: "the
people were never more in earnest than
they are now. Demagogues, abuse and
empty declamation go for nothing.
The people demand the truth, and they
will have it; they demand relief from
unnecessary taxation, and they will
have it; they demand a fair apportion
ment of the public burdens, and they
will have it; they demand just and in
telligible revenue laws, and they will
have them ; they demand retrench
ment and economy, and they will have
them ; and, to give effect to their will,
they demand honest rulers, and they
are determined to have them.
"On the other hand, there are some
things that they are determined not to
have. They won't have negroes put
above white men ; they won't have
one-third the country given up to de
struction ; they won't have the pros
perity of the whole country sacrificed
for the sake of politicians; they won't
support tens of thousands of officers in
idleness who ought to be turned out to
honest work; they won't be taxed to
support negroes whoare able to sup
port themselves, while poor white men
and women have to earn their daily
bread by their daily toil, they won't
have a gold currency for the bondhold
ers and a paper currency for the peo
ple; and they won't have the social cus
toms to which they have been habitu
ated arbitrarily interfered with by
vexatious and oppressive legislation.
80 I read the elections of this year."
PRESIDENT JOHNSON sent a message
to the Senate last week, giving his rea
sons for suspending from office Secreta
ry Stanton. These, so far as yet known,
briefly stated, were : Ist. The open de
fiance of Mr. Stanton to the request of
the President to send in his resignation,
thus easting disrespect on the Presiden
tial office. 2d. The failure of Secreta
ry Stanton to send instructions to Gen
eral Baird when telegraphed by
the latter to do so previous to the
assembling of the Convention at New
Orleans, and his neglect to communi
cate to the President the despatch until
ten days subsequently, and after the
riot had occurred. The President also
states that when he consulted the mem
bers of the Cabinet on the subject of the
Tenure ofOffice bill, Secretary Stanton
was the most emphatic of all in con
demning it.
THE Pittsburgh Chronicle, professing
to be an independent journal, but lean
ing always on the side of Republican
ism, gives the following explanation of
the recent defeat of the Radical candi
date for Mayor in that city:
Another word on this subject. It is
now pretty generally accepted as a fact,
that the private bargaining in the Re
publican Convention caused the defeat
of the candidates for the Mayoralty and
Treasuryship. We shall hear, therefore
much pleasant talk about the virtue of
the people, the indignation of the vir
tuous people about political chicanery,
and all that. But it is proper to re
member by what small majorities the
candidates for Controller and City At
torney were elected, who were not par
ties to the bargaining. It shows that
there is a greater loosening of party ties
than is now admitted, and that the great
political change which was developed by
recent State elections, has gone into every
large city of the land. New combina
tions are formed which influence the
result of elections. In nearly every
city of the country the Republicans
have lost ground during the last twelve
months, it is not necessary now to
inquire the reasons. We call attention
to the fact, to show that the election
held here yesterday is not to be measur
ed solely as a rebuke to parties who
were supposed to have done a little too
offensive political dickering, but is to
be judged also in the light of political
changes all over the country.
THE following is the 4th section of
Educational Ordinances, as introduced
in the negro Constitutional Convention
of Louisiana, viz:
No person shall establish a private
school unless licensed by the State, and
all such schools shall be taxed as other
professions, and the Legislature shall
make laws governing this entire sub
ject.
This is to prevent the establishment
of private schools for white children,
as it is the object of the convention to
compel the two races to attend the
same school and be educated together
as social equals.
THE Virginia State Conservative
Convention has adjourned after provi
ding for the appointment of a com
mittee to prepare an address to the peo
ple of Virginiaandof the United States.
.Resolutions were also adopted author
izing the State Central Committee to
take steps for testing the constitution
ality of the Reconstruction acts in the
Supreme Court of the United States.
After the Convention had closed its ses
sion the Hon. R. T. Hunter made a
brief speech, in which he stated that to
give the blacks the powers of Govern
ment was the highesterime in nature
and that between negro and military
rule he preferred the latter, for the men
who wielded the sword were of his own
race.
—The Rump Senate got an inkling of
its unworthyness, the other day, and
voted to strike out the word "honora
ble" which occurs before the names of
its members on the journal.— Patriot

WASHINGTON, Dec. I>.
The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs will commence an investiga
tion into the case of Secretary Stanton
to-morrow. Ilowartl, of Michigan, a
leading Radical, lias lieen assigned to
the work, and there is no doubt that
he will lahor assiduously to vindicate
the imperious Secretary and restore
him to power. He (Stanton) will he
permitted to appear in his own defense,
and the indications are that the com
mittee will dispose of the case at an
early day.
The Democratic caucus which was
to have been held on Thursday evening
last, has been postponed to some eve
ningl this week, and probably may not
be held until after the holiday recess.
It is understood that the principal sub
ject for consideration will be the nomi
nating convention —when and where it
shall be held. The general impression
is that it will finally be decided to hold
it at Baltimore, in the Maryland Insti
tute Hall.
Some of the friends of the administra
tion urge the I'resident to relieve Gen
eral Pope, and appoint General Meade
to the command of his military dis
trict.
The grounds upon which the remov
al is asked are that Gen. Pope has reck
lessly removed judicial and other civil
officers elected by the people, that no
acts are proved or attempted to be
shown against the deposed officers
which can be construed as obstructions
to the execution of the reconstruction
acts, and that the officers were remov
ed merely to subserve political party
ends.
Ttie X('K'r<H'Sin I.onisiana.
A number of influential persons in
Louisiana recently assembled in New
Orleans and addressed the following
memorial to President Johnson:
The reconstruction ideas of Congress
will, if persisted in, produce a conflict
of races, which will result in the deso
lation of the country and the serious if
not irreprable injury to both races in
the Southern States:
That the negroes of this State are or
ganized into secret bands called loyal
leagues, sworn and combined against
the white race, in order to obtain con
trol of the government.
That this credulous race has been de
luded by designing white men into the
belief that the property of the white
citizens of the State will be divided a
rnong them.
That under these demoralizing influ
ences they are contracting habits of
idleness and vice, and decline to labor
for the support of themselves and their
families.
That in conseqenceof this demoral
ization planting in this State has resul
ted in the ruinous failure of a large ma
jority of our planters, and of course in
the necessity of abandonment.
That before the close of the present
year the negroes, with but few excep
tions, will haveconsutned or wasted all
their wages or share of the crops, and
be destitute of the means of subsistence.
That the white race will be compell
ed to limit their planting to the labor
of their own families, while the ne
groes will not have the means, if they
have the capacity to plant on their own
account.
Under these circumstances famine,
with all its attendant horrors, must
come upon this improvident race.
The condition of the things above sta
ted exists in all the unreconstructed
States, created by the Radical policy
toward the South. They are growing
worse every day; aggravated from
time to time by the erroneous notions
put into the heads of the negroes.—
Now the question which these facts pre
sent must be met and settled by the
people of the North, and that before
a great while. Our people will never
consent that the South shall lapse into
barbarism and ruin, nor will
they be willing to be taxed to sup
port the idle, worthless negroes who
are too lazy to work. The adjustment
of the matter of race has been tried
through the agency of the ballot, and
utterly failed. Now let us try some
thing else. Let the people dismiss the
quacks who are attending on the sick
man, and call in a regular practitioner
to prescribe for him.
STICK TO SAMBO.— The Morning Pout,
the New Radical CHASE organ estab
ed in Philadelphia, in a late article
prints the following significant para
graph :
The gentlemen who propose to take
negro suffrage out of our platform,
would leave the party without a mis
sion. They would vainly seek to ral
ly the people by loud denunciations of
treason, and boasts of Republican ser
vices to the Union. No thinking man
now troubles himself about the crimes
of Jeff. Davis, and the victories
of the war, except so far as they are
matters of history. We cannot carry
them into a political campaign. r rhe
issue before the country is negro suff
rage, and the party cannot evade it,
without c asing to be a party.
A CANADIAN TREATY.— In March,
1866, Congress suspended the reciprocity
treaty with Canada, which it was
thought would be an admirable means
of venting its wrath against Great Bri
tain. Previously to that time large
supplies of wheat, oats, potatoes, lum
ber, and other articles of Canadian pro
duction, had been obtained from Can
ada, increasing our commerce with the
provinces at the rate of from fifteen to
twenty-five per cent, annually, but,
since there has been a reduction of fif
ty-two per cent. in our imports from
that quarter, the consequence of which
is felt in higher prices. There is now
a prospect of the re-enactment of the
treaty, it having been discovered that
we have been punishing ourselves in
in this brilliant experiment to afflict
"perfidious Albion."
—The Radical white ami black State
Convention at Richmond is bogining
bravely. Yesterday a petition was
received and read praying the passage
of a homestead law. A negro delegate
offered a resolution calling for the ap
pointment of a committee to wait on
General Schofield, and ask him to
remove the present State officers, and
failing in that to go to Washington and
obtain authority to give the convention
the right to remove them.
< ONttKENMION AE.
SENATE. —A number of resolutions
of 110 general interest were taken up
and disposed of. Mr. Chandler called
up his resolution declaring neutrality
on the part of tlie United States in the
pending contest between Great Britain
and Abyssinia, and proceeded to deliv
er a speech denouncing the course of
the British Government in the late war,
which, he said, had cost the United
States two hundred thousand lives and
two billions of dollars; the lives, he
said, could never be repaid, but every
foot of land owned by that Power on
this continent was responsible for the
debt, and the day would come when it
would be taken to pay that obligation.
He concluded with a demand for the
recognition of the Abyssinian flag both
on land and sea. Mr. Johnson spoke
in reply to Mr. Chandler and against
the resolution. After some additional
speech-making on the subject, the Sen
ate went into executive session without
taking any action on the resolution,
and as its conclusion adjourned.
HOUSE. —A great number of bills and
resolutions were reported and referred
to the different committees. A special
committee of five was ordered to con
sider the report of the Commissioners
appointed to revise the statutes of the
United States army. The House pro
ceeded to the consideration of the reso
lution adopted in a Committee of the
Whole on Saturday, referring portions
of the President's message to designa
ted committees, and a portion of it
was referred to the Committee 011 lie
construction. This action virtually re
vives that committee. The Senate bill
for the better protection of civil rights
in the District of Columbia was taken
up and passed, yeas 100, nays OS. Mr.
Hooper introduced a bill to reduce the
internal revenue taxes, and addressed
the House in favor of it. Several other
members made speeches 011 the same
subject, but no action was taken by the
House Without transacting any oth
er business of general importance the
House, at 3 40 P. M., adjourned.
SEN ATE. —Mr. Cole introduced a bill
amending the legal tender act so that
contracts made after July 4,18G8, paya
ble in coin, may be enforced according
to agreement, legal tender notes re
maining a legal tender in all cases (as at
present) except as above, and for pay
ment of important duties, interest 011
the public debt, Ac. Mr. Wilson in
troduced his bill to remove the politi
cal disabilities of certain citizens of
Alabama. The resolution of Mr.
Drake, to censure the President for the
sentiments expressed in his annual
message, coming up, Mr. D. proceeded
to speak at length in support of his
proposition.
HOUSE.— The speaker of the House
announced the committee 011 recon
struction. A concurrent resolution
was adopted by the House to adjourn
over from the 20th of Dcember until
Hit- fttli of January. The oonfiaoation
bill of Mr. Stevens coming up, it was
opposed in speeches of considerable
length by Mr. Chandler, of New York,
and Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, after
which its further consideration was
postponed until the 21st of January.
The resolution of Mr. Ashley, of Ohio,
proposing to amend the constitution
so as to give universal suffrage in all
the States, was taken up and discussed
by the author until the hour of ad
journment.
SEN ATE.— The com m i ttee on Fi nance
reported favorably the House bill ex
empting all cotton grown after the
year 18(57 from the internal revenue
tax. Mr. Drake's resolution censuring
the President was then taken up, and
after a personal explanation from Mr.
Drake denying the report that he had,
when in the Legislature of Missouri,
advocated the enslavement of all free
negroes in that State, Mr. Johnson took
the floor and delivered an address in
reply to Mr. Drake's speech of Tuesday
last and in defence of the course of the
President. At its conclusion the fur
ther consideration of the resolution
was postponed. The House resolution
providing for an adjournment of Con
gress from December 20th to January
6th was rejected—yeas 18, nays 20.
The Senate then went into executive
session and at its close adjourned.
HOUSE. —A great number of bills and
resolutions were introduced and dis
posed of. Among them were the fol
lowing: By Mr. Maynard, a resolu
tion directing the Committee on For
eign Affairs to inquire into the expedi
ency of providing that our diplomatic
and consular representatives to Hayti,
Liberia, and other African ports,
should be selected from among Ameri
can citizens of African descent. It was
referred to the Committee 011 Foreign
Affairs. By Mr. Spalding, a resolu
tion declaring that while the House
does not claim any right to participate
in the treaty-making power, yet that
its voice should be heard in perfecting
treaties, Ac. It was referred to the
Committee of the Whole. By Mr. Ba
ker, a resolution declaring that it was,
011 all accounts, expedient that the
military establishment should be as
small its is compatible with the needs
of the country, and directing the Mili
tary Committee to inquire into the ex
pediency of reducing the army. This
was agreed to, as was also a resolution
instructing the Committee 011 Military
Affairs to inquire into the propriety of
directing the Secretary of War to con
solidate the military department of
New York State. The Committee of
Ways and Means was directed to in
quire into the propriety of exempting
from taxation all incomes not exceeding
twenty-five hundred dollars per an
num. A number of communications
from the different departments were
laid before the House and referred to
various committees. No other busi
ness ofgeneral importance was taken
up, and at 4 I'. M. the House adjourn
ed.
SENATE. —The Committee on Terri
tories reported a bill to regulate the 3e
lection of grand and petit jurors in the
Territory of Utah. This bill, which
will be called up at an early day, is in
tended to prevent polygamy and other
abuses now prevailing in that Territory.
A short discussion took place on the
bill exempting all cotton grown after
thisyear from the internal revenue tax,
but no action was taken. The House
bill securing to the families of soldiers
the bounties to which they are entitled
was passed, with amendments. The
vote by which the House joint resolu
tion providing foran adjournment from
December 20th to January 6th was re
jected, was reconsidered, and after a
short debate the resolution was agreed
to. The bill to raise the value of legal
tender notes to par was then taken up,
and Mr. C'orbett made a speech against
any additional inflation of the curren
cy. The Senate then went into execu
tive session, and at its condition ad
journed until Monday.
HOUSE. —The day in the House was
entirely devoted to speech making in
Committee of the Whole. Mr. Van
Trump, of Ohio, delivered an address
upon the general condition oftheeoun
try, and in support of the President's
course. Several members then made
speeches on the subject of impeach
ment, after which Mr. Kerr, of Indi
ana, spoke on the distribution of the
judicial power of the country. The
committee then rose and the House ad
journed until Monday.
SEWS AXi) (>rili:K HEMS.
—A Conservative negro club was or
ganized at Montgomery, Alabama,
on Thursday night last, the meeting
fortius purpose originating with the
blacks. The speakers denounced the
members of the State Convention, and
urged their people to stand by the old
inhabitants of the South as the true
friends of the South. Resolutions also
were adopted declaring in strong lan
guage against the ratification of the new
Constitution.
—A large number of officers of Uni
ted States colored troops have been mus
tered out, among them Brigadier Gen
eral O. 11. Howard, who will doubtless
be retained as acivilian Assistant Com
missioner of tlie Freedman's Bureau
in the Washington District. A num
ber of officers of the Veteran Reserve
Corps have also been mustered out.
—A mob of some fifty armed negroes
at Athens, Georgia, having threatened
to attack the students of the Universi
ty at that place, the latter, armed in
turn, and a difficulty was imminent,
but troops were ordered out and the
negroes were dispersed.
—General Pope, who appears to be
emulous of the fame of General Mower,
has recently removed ninejudicial and
ministerial officers in Alabama, and has
appointed "loyal" Republicans in their
places. Five of those appointed were
Radical members of the recent State
Convention.
—The widow of a former member of
Congress, residing in Ilallowoll, Me.,
lately married her hostler. He treat
ed her cruelly, and she applied for a
divorce, whereupon he decamped with
$20,000 in bonds, leaving her in desti
tute circumstances.
—Mr. James M. Mason, of Virginia,
now in Canada, writes a letter to R.
W. Graham, of Texas, advising against
any emigration of the Southern people
to Jamaica or anywhere else.
—The Gadsden (Ala.) Times says
that for the past two months an aver
age of fifty wagons per week have pass
ed through that town, filled with dis
satisfied Georgeans and Alabamians
seeking homes in the Western States.
—On the tenureofoffice law the Pres
ident has "the Congress." Even the
Pittsburgh Gazette gives this much up.
Read what it says: "In his argu
ment against the office tenure bill, so
far as it relates to such cases as that of
Mr. Stanton, the President has the
best of it."
—The eastern and western Rads of
the Rump are getting into a "snarl"
about the taxation, import duty, and
bond and currency questions. Just
now "Republican principles" are so
mixed or so "warious" that no one
seems acute or capacious enough to ex
plain or to hold them.
—Dr. N. R. Shurtleff, Democrat, was
elected mayor of Boston, on Monday,
by 458 majority. In Newburyport
Nathaniel Pierce, Democrat, was elec
ted mayor, on the same day.
DUEL TIMES IN MAINE. —The
correspondent of the Boston Journal
writes gloomily of the business of that
State. He says:
"The fact cannot be gainsayed that,
go where you may in Maine, business
will be found crippled and the cry of
dull times goes up on every hand. In
a recent communication I have already
stated that there will be less lumbering
by one-half this winter than usual.
Mention has also been made of such a
prostration in shipbuilding interests
that hardly a vessel can be found upon
the stocks. 1 luudreds of workmen are
out of employment. Never before
were our man u fact u r i ng i n terests i nsucl i
a state of languish. At oi.r manufac
turing centres either the pay of employ
ees has been materially reduced or a
reduction in the hours of labor been
made. Several of the leading manufac
turers have joined in the Cleveland
movement for the discontinuance of
the enormous and unequal revenue tax
that now oppresses many of our domes
tic articles, as a means of relief."
CHICAGO PORK TRADE. —The news
papers of Chicago report that the pork
packing business of that city is making
giant strides this season, but the opera
tors are of opinion that the season will
practically terminate about New Year's
day. The receipts of hogs for the week
just closed were 133,981 live and 7,168
dressed—total, 111,019 head. This is
the largest number ever received in
any one week in that or any other city.
The receipts two weeks ago were 111,-
240, an increase of 29,809 in favor of the
week just closed.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IX TITTS
lit'RO.
Tile Kail Mill Rolling.
The Democrats and working men
of Pittsburg achieved a glorious and
unprecedented triumph at the munici
pal election. The following despatches
tell the story:
PITTSBUKG, Dec. 10.— The Demo
cratic ball continues to roll. Mr. Black
more, the Democratic candidate is elec
ted Mayor by twenty-tive hundred
| majority. At the last election Wil
i liams received a majority of 1,2.39—a
Democratic gain of 3,759.
PITTSBURG, December 10. —In the
municipal election here to-day unusu
al interest was manifested. The Dem
ocratic candidates for Mayor, Treasur
er, Controller, and City Attorney,
i were elected by large majorities, ap
proximating to 3,000, over the Itadi
! cal nominees. The result is unprece
! dented and caused great excitement.
| An immense crowd gathered in front
: of the office of the Keening Advocate,
the organ of the labor reform, and with
enthusiastic shouts greeted the elec
tion news as read to them. A band is
now serenading the successful candi
date for Mayor, Mr. Black more.
ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
CONCORD, N. 11., Dec. 11.—James
A. Weston, Democrat, was to-day elec
ted mayor of Manchester, by a majori
ty of 392 over Cloud, the present in
cumbent. The Radical majority last
year was 510.
ASSAULT UPON A WHITE GIRT, BY
N K<; ROES— A west of the Ruffians.— An
infamous assault was made upon Miss
Harriet Thomas, a respectable young
female residing in the Sixth ward,
while passing along Colder street on
Monday evening. When near the
colored school house she was approach
ed by three or four negro ruffians who
violently seized her person, evidently
with the design of perpetrating a most
diabolical outrage. The girl's screams
alarmed the neighbors, and caused the
ruffians to seek safety in flight. Sub
sequently constable Radabaugh cap
tured four negroes named Thomas H.
Smith, Richard Anderson, John W.
Smith and George Albert Washington,
on suspicion of having been concerned
in this affair. After a he aring before
Alderman Cole, of the Sixth ward, the
two last named "manhoods" were dis
charged, and Thomas H. Smith and
Richard Anderson committed to prison
for trial on a charge of assault and Imt
tery with intent to commit rape. That
this was the design of the negro scoun
drels, there can be no doubt from the
nature of the testimony presented. It is
the general impression, and no doubt a
correct one, that nearly all the former
outrages of this kind in our city were
committed by ruffians of the same race
and color. Should Smith and Anderson
be convicted, they ought to be pun
ished with such severity as will re
strain others from the commission ot
similar deeds.— Patriot & Union
THE TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.—
After a great flourish of Radical trum
pets in regard to the trial of Jefferson
Davis, at which Judge Chase was to
preside, it appears that the affair will
not come off until May next. Now,
this is simply a pitiful evasion of a
solemn duty on the part of Judge
Chase. Ever since a trial of Davis has
been spoken of, the Chief Justice has,
by one dodge and another, made it
convenient to so arrange his affairs as
tn render bis attendance apparently
impossible. The reasons are obvious;
Judge Chase is a Radical candidate for
the Presidency, and it is scarcely to be
expected that he will place himself in
a position where he will be compelled
to give an opinion that will have a
bearing upon the political prospects.
It may, therefore, be confidently as
serted that Jefferson Davis will never
be tried—at least not until Judge
Chase's chances for the Presidency are
fully determined.
TIIE LADY'S FRIEND, FOR JANUARY.
Two finely executed Steel Engravings
lead off the January number of this
"Queen of the Monthlies." One is
called "My Household," and the young

well satisfied with his treasures. The
other engraving is a Dutch Skating

THE GEM OF TIIE MONTHLIES.—
The January number of DEMOKEST,
now entering its sixth year, redeems
the promises of the publisher for 1868.
It is the most attractive of the fashion
periodicals and deserves tiie success
which it has achieved. Its aim is to
combine the useful with the beautiful,
and it does it in the best manner. It
supplies to ladies a fount of inspiration,
which none who have once tasted should
live, keep house, and dress nicely with
out ; and save more dollars in a year
than its cost, it is a marvel how valu
able premiums can be afforded with a
magazine so costly in its getting-up.

ADDRESS TO THE NERVOUS AND DE
BILITATED whoto sufferings have been protracted
from hideous causes, and whose cases require
prompt treatment to render existence desirablo.
If you are suffering or have suffered from involun
tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon
your general health ? Do you feel weak, debilita
ted, easily tired ? Does a little extra exertion pro
duco palpitation of the heart? Does your liver, or
urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out
of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or
flocky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick
scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom
after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of
short breathing or dyspepsia ? Are your bowels
constipated? Do you have spells of fainting or
rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory im
paired ? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon
this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life ' Do you wish to be left
alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any lit
tle thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep
broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as
brilliant ? The bloom on your cheek as bright ?
Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy? Do
you feel as much Jconfidenco in yourself? Are
your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits or mel
ancholy? If so, do not lay it to your liyer or
dyspepsia. Have you restless nights ? Tour back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe
tite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver
complaint ?
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly
cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro
ducing a weakness of the generative organs. The
organs of generation, when in perfect health, make
the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de
fiant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect he dth ? You never hear such
men complain of being melancholy, of nervous
ness, of palpitation of the heart. They are nev
er afraid they cannot succeed in business; they
don't become sad and discouraged ; they are al
ways polite and pleasant in the company of ladies,
and look you and them right in the face —none ot
your downcast looks or any other meanness about
them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs
inflamed by running to excess. These will not
only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do
business with or for.
How many men from badly-cured diseases, from
the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought
about that state of weakness in those organs that
has reduced tho general system so much as to in
duce almost every other disease —idiocy, lunacy,
paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost
every other term of disease which humanity is heir
to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev
er suspected, and have doctored for all but the
right one.
Diseases of these organs require the uso of a diu

diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy,

ever cause originating and no nutter how long

AMERICAN
WALTIIA AT
WATCHES.
The true value of Machinery applied to Watch
making is not that by its use Watches are made
rapidly, but that they are made correctly. Very
few people know why a Walthaw Watch should
be superior to any other. In the first place, at
Waltham the Watch is regarded as only a machine,
to be constructed like any other machine, on me
chanical principles. If the watches are good, it
is because the machinery is good. Of course there
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement—no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces of which it is composed—nothing want
ing in their properties, and no error in their posi
tions. These points once thoroughly settled, it
rests wholly with the maehiuery, constructed with
infinite diversity of form and function expressly
for the purpose, to produce the finished pieces.
By meansot multyplving guages and microscopes,
tests and inspection for the detection of wear in
the cutting tools, and for faults and flaws in steel
or stone are made to accompany the work in ev
ery stage from beginning to end. As a necessary
result, the watch goes together a perfect machine.
Every part is found to fit properly in its place.
Every pin may be pushed till it pinches, and ev
ery screw turned home. Ins'ead of a sluggish and
feeble action, the balance, even under the pressuro
of the lightest mainspring, vibrates with a wide
and free motion, and the beat has the clear ring
ing sound always characteristic of the Waltham
Watch. The machine is a time-keeper from tho
start
This system of watchmaking is unknown in for
eign countries, and is entirely original with the
Waltham Company. The Company claim that by
it they produce watches that cannot be equalled
for every quality which makes a watch valuable.
Simple in plan and correct in principle, the move
ment is not only beautifully finished, substantial,
accurate and cheap, but is uniform in the minu
test details, n"t easily damaged, and when re
paired always as good as new. There are differ
ent grades of finish in the different varietios of
watches made by the Waltham Company, as
there arc different sizes and shapes to suit all tastes
and means; but every Watch that bears the gen
uine trniK-mark of "WALTHAM" is guarantied to
be a good ouc, and nobody need be afraid to buy
it.
