HENUINE HElDSIECk d Co. CHAM
VI pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-
upoited by Messrs. Heldsieck & Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale of their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs Heidsieck & Co., as set forth there
in, justly claim to be alone enabled to send this
country the genuine Heidseck 81 Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C.. which the founders and
orginators Of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact we need not dwell upon the
superior quality OF their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
Identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
full by which il fsst s Ssssane &c 50 favoraby known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-
lar marks which have since appeared.

CARD-Upon the dissolution of the old
firm, Heidsieck & Co.. in 1884, the senior partner,
who had the sole charge Of its liquidation, con-
tnued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults, &C., which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors ofths well-known brand.
In order 10 distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar TO our own, which have ap-
peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name of our firm in full will be found on the
labels and around the corks.

To C. E. Demold, President ~. J. Zinc Co., ~ y.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years.
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation Of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with it a complete Sc
ries of specimens ofwood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint oyer all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are al liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are Of too much impor
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your ebedient servant

"The statement telegraphed from
Providence that Gen. James had resign
ed, or was about to resign his seat in
the Senate, appeared in all the Balti-
more and other papers oil Monday, and
caused quite a sensation in the Senate
chamber. Senators OF both parties ex-
pressed their regret at the intelligence,
and many came around TO Gen. James's
seat, 10 express the hope that he would
reconsider Ais determination and remain
in the Senate. The Senator assured
them that he had no idea OF resIgning,
and that the story was as new TO him
as to In IN. 1t Afforded an occasion,
however to sbov the popularity OF the
Rhode Island Senator among his fellow
members"
We understand that Gen. James has
received IA number of letters from lead
ing Democrats, requesting him TO hold
over at least ill alter the first Tuesday
oi May. The most urgent OF these let
