Gold Pens.

The controversy about gold pens wakes ra,h-
er warm, the dealers trying to undersell each
other, until a pen and silver case can be bought
at Sl,25. The first pen bought cost S5.---

Try. Yankee notion grows up 10 be a matter
of merchantle Importance II is only nine years
since The first gold pen was manufactured, and
now they are numbered by thousands weekly
lwelI remember using silver pens previously
to 1898, but they were without hardened points,
or elasticity, and soon became useless ln
1888. Rev. Mr.. Cleveland conceived the idea
that pens might be made Of gold. which would
be better than quill pens, and more economical,
although made Of such costly material. He
communicated his idea 10 Brown, who improved
on them, and who was the first maker of gold
pens in this or any other country. After Brown
came Bagley, and then dozen other makers,
such was the demand for the article. Bagey
is the most extensive manufacturer. Surpri-
sing as it may seem, he employs a capital Of
$4,000 in this business. His expenses arc
81 900 per week. A house made a contract
with Brown & Bagley, In the early stages of
the business, for all the pens they made. and
thus had monopoly Of the business for three
years. They sold $4,000 per annum Of this
article, nearly one.half Of which was profit
Bagley then went on and made rapid fortune.
His pens rank the first in the Market although
the " Richleu" pen, made by E. Watson G5
Co, is equally good. They possess in tho
ghes, degree, the requisites Of durability and
elasticity, are made of the fines, material, and
furnished in the most workmenke munner. In
the manufacture of pens, the gold is first rolled
out u ribbons, and then cut with die the ro-
quired shape, and points put on. and then ground
down to the required nib. The points are alI
imported generally, wilhou, the ceremony Of
an introduction to the Custom House, and cosl
from 81 TO s55 per ounce. The pens and ca

Affections, Lang and Liver complaints, Spinal
Affections, Female weaknesses, DC, dc. For the
above complaints this plaster has equal. The
great celebrity which it has already acquired not
only in the old but in the new world, the extra
ordinary cures it has performed in the most ex-
IRENE cases of suffering, have acquired for it such
a reputation, that the proprietor has not (untl
recently been able to supply half the demand
The sales throughout every city, town, and viii
age in the United States are without parallel!
A circumstance not surprising, when the vast
amount of human suffering relieved by its use be
considered. In spinal defects the benefit usually
is of the most decided character. In Nervous
complaints, nineteen cases out Of twenty readily
yield to the penetrating stimula combined in this
valuable preparation.
In Rheumatism either acute or chronic the claims
of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been uni
versaly acknowledged. Those who are laboring
under weak backs, no matter from what cause
the weakness may have originated, (even if such
person have been misguided in previous appli-
cations) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they
will find the affected part suddenly restored to its
original soundness.
As supporter in cases of constitutional toeak-
ness it will be found of great advantage. 1t is
particularly recommended to Females who are
suffering from sudden weakness, or general de.
bility. In Short it embraces oil the virtues which
the most scientific mind was capable of compound
ing from valuable substances found in the old
world, and will be found entirely free from those
objections which are a source of compliant with
the numerous spread-p lasters now before the pub
lie.
OtrThese plasters possess the advantage of
being put up in tight Boxes, hence, they retain
their tuHri in all climates.
