SWISS WATCIIEs.-The superior quality
ofSwiss watches has long been subject of
remark among those who delight in good
time keepers. One day last week, Swiss,
from Weinsberg, sold Commissioner HARRIS
a very fine watch for the small sum Of seven
dollars. 1t is a strong "ticker," winds in
the face and is just such piece of pocket
furniture as any one should desire to have.
Fry said it was worth one dollar, but he
don't know much about Swiss watches. -
KIMERER and POUNDS were highly delighted
with the judicous purchase their brother
Commissioner made.

REWARD OF MERIT. For thirty years
.WM LLOYD GARRISON, the editor of the
Boston LiJerdtor, was an avowed disunion-
ist. His paper had this motto: 'Thc
American union-a league with hell and a
covenant with death" He has lately sent
to the President painting, most appropri-
ately entitled, Waiting for the Hour, T"
which the latter acknowledges in an aifec-
tionate letter, directed to "My dear GARRI-
SON." The latter felt that the hour he had
so long waited for, that was to witness the
destruction of the Union, had come.

IMPORTANT LEI-rER.-Provost Marshal
General Fay has written letter to prom.
inent citizen of Chicago, announcing that
protective associations may furnish recruits,
and the members of such associations will
be exempt when such number shall have
been furnished as equals the ratio or pei
centage of men liable to be drafted from the
whole number in such association" In
other words, when protective association
has furnished its proportion of recruits, al
its members will be exempt, and the enrolled
men who have refused or neglected to join
such association will have to stand the draft
alone. For instance: Suppose the enrol
ment of township to be 100, the quota
25, the ratio would be one in four; hence
it follows that if four men would form an
association and put in one recruit it would
exempt the four.

FACTS AND QUERIES The quota as
signed to the State of Massachusetts under

dred-but little more than the numbercalled
for from each congressional district in the
Western States. The first cargo of negroes
that could be gathered from Sherman's
march was sent directly to Boston, and these
darkics were used in filling the quota OF
Massachusetts,. The query: Is this chance,
is it providential, or is it rascality?

word white" and must strike it out of thu
