MELODEANS.
THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND NOW In USE
Every Instrument Warranted for FireYears

\ presenting the AUTOMATIC Organ, we
Il boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
Cal instruments OF the age. DURING the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed instruments with double bellows, and
Two Peoas Tor the feet To operate, but the of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (wh ch is the
only bellows used ia our instruments ! made IL i'm
possible Tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone Tor which our instruments are cele-
brated.
Another objection To this method of blowing
was, that both ieet being occupied, opportunI-
~ was offered for the management of the swell.
within the past two years, instruments construct
ed on this European plan Of 90 double blowers, -
have been manufactured IN this country, and to
eounteract this difficulty want of a swel) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, TO act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The inconvenience and contortlon neces
sary TO effect this object, dIsagreeable enough
to gentleman, but 10 a lady the OF such an
apPendage 10 nearly mpossIble.
Our Autmatic device obviates this difficulty en-
tirely, tho simple act OF blowing with more or lesr
force giving the desired increase decrease in
the volume OF tone For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Melodeons has mot
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made II impossible for TO
meet our orders promptly. With increased
facilities, We teel warranted IN assuring our pat
rons that their orders Will be promptly met, and
solicit a continuance OF their patronage.

CAUTION FROM THE
American Watch Co

II having come our knowledge that i'm tat .
of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great num5e- calculated by theIr utter
worthlessness to lnlure the reputation OF our gen.
uIne products. TO protect our own interests and
the public from i'm POSITION, agaia publish the
trade marks by which our Watches may invariably
be known.
We manufacture four styles Of Watches
The First has The

engraved on the inside plate
The Second has the name
"APPLErON, TRACY x CO., Waltham,
Mass engraved on the inside plate.
The Third mas the name

graved the inside plate.
All the above sty les have the name American
Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted
every respect.
The Fourth has the name
"WM. ELL cry, Boston, Mass, engraved
the inside plate, and Is not named the dial.
Alls the above described Watches made OF
sizes, and sold in gold or silver cases,
as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for US to accurately des-
cribe the numerous I'M tatIons to which have
alluded. They are usually inscribed with names
so nearly approaching our own as to escape the
observation of the unaccustomed buyer. Some
represented az made by the 'sUnlon Watch
Co., of Boston, Mass."-no such company exist
ing. Some named the s'Soder's Watch" to
be sold our Fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usu-
ally known as the s'Soldier's Watch,'' Others
named the appleton Watch Co. - others

lett;" besides many varieties named in such a
manner to convey the idea that they the
Variable productions of tine American Watch

We also caution the public, and particularly
soldiers, against buying certain articles called
Watches, so freely ad vertIsed in illustrated papers
as 'Army Watches - sc Officers Watches ,,
"Magic Fine Observers,'' "Aroana Watches

seven to sixteen do lars. A good Watch in these

A singular Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there is
singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority. They say
that when the Great Spirit made the earth
he also made three men, all OF whom were
fair complexioned; and that after making
them, he led them to the margin of a
small lake and babe them leapin and wash.
One obeved and came out OF the water
purer and fairer than before; the second
hesitaed moment during which time,
the water, became muddied, and when he
bathed he came up copper colored; the
third did not leap in until the water be
came black with mud and he came out
with his own color. Then tho Great Spirit
laid before them three packages and out
of pity for his misfortune in color, he gave
the black man the first choice. He took
hold of each of the packages and having
felt the weight, chose the heaviest; the
copper colored man then chose the mex
heaviest, leaving the white man the light
est. When the packages were opened, thu
first was focnd to contain spades. hoes ant
all the implements of labor; the SECOND
unwrapped hunting fishing and warike ap
paratus; the third gave the white mai
pens, ink and paper, the engines of the
mind-the means of mutual mental i'm
provement, the social link of humanity
the foundation of the white mans SUPER
ority.
