FRENCII BREAKFAST AND DINNER
OWING to the very high price of Coffee,
and the great difficulty in procuring a good,
uniform and reliable article our customers,
have often expressed a wish -thar they,
roold be supplied irom first hands. It was
the intention of
The Great American Tea Company,
to do a strictly Tea business, but as we
have had some customers living at a dia
lance tint have 'relied upon us to supply
them exclusively with Tea and Corlee, it
being inconvenient from them to come to
New" York, The Great Tea Coffee Empo
rium of this country and as our Tea Tas
ter was possessed of information relating
to a Cotlee that could be furnished al a
moderate price, and give universal satis
faction, and at the same lime afford the
retailer a handsome profit we have been
compelled to supplv those parlies. THIS
COFFEE HAS BECOME SO POPULAR
with our customers and their sales have
increased to such fn extent thai we have
been compelled o make large additions lo.
our machiner), which will enable us to
supply a few mora cusl raers with it. We
will therefore send it to those who may or
der. It is fast SUPERSEDING ALL OTHER
COFFEES. This coffee has been used for
more than a century in Paris, and since
its introduction into this country, it has
been in nse by orne of the leading French
Restaurants here The Parisians are said
lo be the best, judges of coffee; and the
great favor in which it is held by them is
the best recommendation that can be pro
duced for its fine flavor and healthy effects
upon the human system.
We put'up but one grade of this coffee,
and that is of a quality that ourcnsiomers
have found from experience will give per
fect satisfaction and mee all the demands
of their irade. It is the lowest price that
we. can commend.
We do all our business on the most ex
tensive scale, buy by the carsjo and sell at
only two cents per pound profit.
We put up this coffee in barrels only, of
125 pounds each. This method of putting
it up saves from 2 to 5 cents per pound in
; the customer, and bv its being in
a large
t .
i Quantity it retains its
fine
flavor much
i(nier in this 'orm than in 'any other. We

We hope our
cu-tomers . will take pains to have ihem
well posted up and distributed, as it wtU
be lo their advantage to do so.
This coffee we warrant to give perfect
SHtiffactfon, and if it does not please, the
purchaser has ihe privilege of returning
the whole or any pari of it within. 60 days,
and having his money refunded together
with all tuexpeiises of transportation both

PROSPECTUS OF THE (JURAT NAT

Political and Military) of the SOUTHERN
REBELLION, Comprehending, also. t-M
important State Paper (Confederate aid
Federal) all ordinance of Secession,
Proceedings of Congre- (R.'bel ;t :.t Ent
eral,) Remarkable speeches &c. together
with official Report of Commanders, Armb
and Navy Statistic, Maps, &ic, BY
CRVILLE J. VICTOR, to be completed in
3 Volumes, Super Royal Octavo. Beauti
fully Illustrated with Steel Engravings,
Maps. &c., Prepared expressly for this
work, by John Rogers, aud other first-class
artists.
VOLUMES 1 AND II NOW READY.
This truly National Work characterized
by a leading Journal as the '.'Paragon of
Histories." has now taken its place in lit
erataire as the History, par excellence, of
the Great Rebellion.. It has received (as
will be seen by reference to the le.lers and
notices subjoined) the endorsement of the
leading men and he leading journals of
the country. It is commended by those
mot qualified to judge, as such a Record
of the Rise, Progress and Results of the
War for the Union as every Intelligent
citizen should posess.
As title indicates, its covets the ground
of the, Rebellion, as well in its Political
and Social as in it Military aspects. It
deals in chronologic order, with the opn
and the secret movements for Secession in
the reveral States; it comprehends the
proceedings of the proceeds of the Mont
gomery Convention and cf the Confederate
Slate'-' Congress : all proceedings in the
Federal Congress relating to tbe questions
ol SecesMonuid Rebellion, giving lull re
poris of the great Debates, Resolutions,
Repoits &c , all the Messages, Proclama
tions, &c. of the President ; thus proving a
Complete compendium cf the political
phases of the attempted resolution.
As a recoid of the stnpendious Military
and Naval Feature of the Rebellion, it
will be all that could be desired full, au
thentic and graphic leaving nothing un
said which is necessary to render it the
best and most satisfactory History of the
War for the Union which will be presen'ed
for the patronage of the American People.
Most of two volumes will be devoted to the
Operations of the army a.nd Navy. As
each volume contains more letter press
than Buy iwo volumes of other professed
"Histories" now offered to ihe public ll
will be preceived that Ihis Great Work on
the tcore of fulness and complethess will
challenge all comparison.
The Entire History will be comprised in
three Super Royal octavo volumes, of aoul
6000 pages each beautifully printed, in
double columns, from specially prepared
type. The amount of matter in each vol
ume is equivalent to "he contents of six
or '.'"'VY dollar book. Thus in three vol
ncv;i 'he author will have ampie space lo
cai.iv!r every event fully and satisfac
loniy, should the war drag its slow lenglb
alo;n throngn the year.
The A-ork can only be had of ihe can
vasser. It is nol sold by "the trade." All
who wish .lo become possessed of it should
avail themselves of thb First proposition of
ihe aent.
Each rolume is guaranteed to be equal,
in all respects lo the specimen copy ex
hibited by the agent.

LUNGS and CHEST, including even
WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY
So general has the nse of this remedy
become, and so popular is it everywhere,
that it is unnecessary to recount its virtues.
Its works speak for it, .and find utterance
in the abundant aud voluntary tes imony of
the many who from long suffering and set
lhsd disease have by iis use been restored
to pristine vigor and health. We can pre
sent a mass of evidence in proof ol our
assertions, that '
CANNOT BE DISCREDITED.

a gentleman highly esteemed iu Columbia
Co. Pa , and one whose statement can be
relied npon... r.
Mt. Pleasant, Col. co., Pa May 21,(860.
Messrs , Selh W. Fo vle & C-, Boston--
Gentlemen About three years ago 'our
daughter, now twelve years ot age, wa
severely afflicted with croup. A general
irritation of the lungs followed, producing
a hectic cough, which became almost con
stant ; swelling of the temples and other
indications of Consumption were also ap
parent, and her, life was despaired of by
her physic ian. At this critical inoment we
were induced to give Dr. Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry a trial, and after she had
taken one bottle we found her so much re
lieved that it was thought unnecessary to
continue its use. f?ince that time we havw
used the Balsam ir. our family in cases of
Coughs and Colds, End believe it to be a
superior remedy foi all diseases of iho
Lungs.
Yours with respect JAMES GRIMES.
FROM JESSE SMITH, Eq.,
President of the Morris County Bank,Mcr
ristown, N. J.
"Having used Dr. WiMar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry for about fifteen years, and
having realized its beneficial renlts in rry
family, it affords me great pleasure in re
commending it lo the public as a valua
ble remedy in cases ot weak lungs, colds,
coughs, &c, and a remedy which I cons'id
er to be entirely innocent, and may be ta
ken with perfect safety by ihe most deli
cate in health."
