REDUCTION IN PRICE
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCHES
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS.

MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS.
In consequence of the recent great improve
ments in our facilities for manufacturing, we
have reduced our prices TO as low point as
they can be placed
with Gold at Par,
so that no one need hesitate to buy watch
now from the expectation that it will be
cheaper at some future time. The test Of Ten
years and the manufactl re and sale of
More shan 200, 900 watches,
have given our productions the very highest
rank among time keepers. Commencing
with the determination TO make only thor
oughly excellent watches. our business has
steadily increased as the public became ac
quamted with their value. until for months
together, we have been unable 10 supply the
demand. VS. have repeatedly enlarged our
factory buildings until they now cover over
three acres Of ground. and give accommoda-
tim to more than eight hundred workmeu.
We are fully justified in saying That we
now make more than ne-half of all he
Watches sold IN the Uniled States. The diff
terent grades are distinguished by the follow
ing trademarks on the plate;

JonN RUsRIS, 10 the ''CroNu of Wild
Olives" charactrizes in his trenchant
style, those who.iive to make money, as
imitators Of Judas.
We do great injustice TO Iscariot, in
thinking him wicked above all common
wickeduess. lie was only common
money lover. and like all money lovers,
he did not understand Christ; could not
make ont tie worth Of him, or meaning
of him. lie did not want him to be
killed. lie was horror struck when he
found that Christ would lie killed threw
his money away instantly, aud hanged
himself. How many of our present mon
ey seekers, think you, woul! have the
grace to hang themselves, whoever was
killed? Bat Judas was a common, selfish
middle Headed, pilfering fellow; his
hand always in the bag Of the poor, not
ssring for them. He did not understand
Christ, vet believed in II i'm inuch more
than most Of US do; had seen him do
miracles, thought he was quite strong
enough to shift foe Himself, and he, in
las, might rs well make his own little
DcrquisiteS out of the affair. Christ wo'd
come out OF it well enough, and ne have
tho thirty pieces. Now that is the mon
ey seekers idea, all over the world.

An experiment, tried by an en-
inent physician of St. Petersburg,
during the prevalence of the cpl
demic there, several years ago,
serves to illustrate the influence
of the mind upon the body. He
obtained Of the authorities two
criminals who had been condemned
to death, to do with them as he
thought fit. One OF these con-
victs was made to sleep on a bed,
on which, as he was told, a man
died with the cholera but the
night before, which was not the fact.
After restless night, the crimi-
nal was taken with all the symp-
toms of the cholera, and died of
that disease, declaring that he
had caught it from the bed-a
victim to his own fears. The 9TH
er was made to sleep on q bed
wherein a man had died few
hours previously of the fatal dis
ease. This fact, however, Yves
unknown to the occupant of the
bed. who arose in the morning, re-
freshed by his sleep, remaining in
perfect health.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald is re

---------------------------
The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald is re-
sponsible for the following:
ga rich interview took place be.
tween the President and Senator
Sumner on the evning after the
message was read in Congress. II
lasted for several hours. There
were three or four persons present.
Sumner is represented as having
been very nervous. Some of those
present thought he would go into a
fit at two or three different periods
of the consultation. At any rate
his actions justified the application
Of the term of being monomaniac
in regard to the negro. Recovering
himself he broke out as follows:
"'Mr. President, | notice that
the white rebels down in Alabama
and other localities in the South
are talking very strong against
the Union, and denouncing it in
strong terms; can you not do some
thing to put stop to it?
I" The President coolly replied
Isee, Mr.. Sumner, that the white
rebelsin Boston are talking against
the Union. Can't you put a stop
to it there 2
"This confused the Senator for a
short time, but after twisting in
his seat for a short time he again
broke ont as follows: 'Mr. John
son, the reports from the South
show that the white rebels in al
most every section are insulting
the Freedmen. Don't you think
that Congress ought to do some
thing to correct this evil
"The President, with a signif-
cant wink to the other gentlemen
present, replied: 'Mr, Sumner, |
notice by the papers that the white
rebels in Cincinnati have been
recently insulting white people
there and knocking down one or
two. Can't Congress do some
thing to correct that evil?
"It is needless to add that the
stay of the Massachusetts negro
monomaniac at the White House
was of short duration after that
thrust"

The Reverend Doctor Bornto

The Reverend Doctor Boynton,
Chaplain of the House of Repre-
sentatives, delivered a very savage
sermon on thanksgiving-day, at
Washington. 1t was in the style
which made him popular there in
the Know Nothing days. Such a
sermon should have been followed
by q dog-6ght instead of a hymn.
