A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most viruient and
scrofnlous disorders with from one to three boxes
of his matchless save.
DR.. MaggiePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiers Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cieanses the head and restores the nerves IN q
space OF time short enough to be almost classed
marvellous.
In fact Maggiers Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, scalds, ehihains, Cuts, and nh abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infa1lib1e.
CAUTION. Purchase none without name of J..

Proofs Of the Superior Quality
A-1llerican Watch
- made al
s vUAx1UAA9, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura
Bile, and better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
cs, which are composed of from l25 to 300 pieces,
while in an old English watch there are more than
100 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter: ~ e.
PENN. RAILROA D C0MPANY.va
a. sserFrcE- araSUPrRrsrESDryr, !
Altoona, Pa, Is Dec, 1856. !
GENTLFNEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in on this railroad for several
years by our, enginemen, TO whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying yonr watches give Us less trouble, and
havewofn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. AS you are aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowedged good reputation; but as class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours. 81 80
In these statements 7 am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.-Lews, whose experience extended
over series OF years. Respectfully,
EDWARD H. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Waltham.
We make five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy 4 Co., 81 Waltham, Mass.
wastham Watch Company, Walthaia, Mass.
P. S. bartlett Xaltham, Mass.
VIM. EIlery, g Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be of the best material, on
the most approved principle. and toIpossess every
requisite for reliable tiue-keeper. Every dealer
| selling these watches is provided with the Com
pany's print ted card of guarantee, which should
accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
feel sure that they are purchasing the genuine ar
ticle. There are numerous counterfeits and imi-
tations of our watches sold throughout the eoun-
| try. and we would caution purchasers to be on
their guard against imposition.
| Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
CHASED of watch dealers throughout the country.

We have given in the HERALD the opening
Of the fall season among the milliners and
theatres, and now similar opening in the
fashionable churches claims our attention.
The fall programmes Of these churches will
serve as an interesting supplement to our
amusement columns. The pastors have been
in training all summer at the watering places
for the great contest between them and
Satan this winter. But while our worthy
parsons have been away from their focks the
arch enemy has been at work In terrible
earnest and pipelaying for the coming cam
paign. He has been stirring up the muscle Of
the metropolis and preparing them la
Morrissey as candidates for Congress, the
qualifications of which, he announces, are to
be light or heavy weight champion Of the
prize ring. His Internal Majesty has been also
caucusing with some of the theatrical
managers with q view towards shortening the
dresses Of their ballet dancers, and thereby
rendering Black Crot exhibitions moro at
tractve than ever. Hence 1t will require all
the skill and energy Of our clergy
men TO combat the cloven-hoofed cham
pion this winter. There used to be, eigh-
teen hundred years ago, dozen poor
fishermen in Galilee, who went forth Is apostles
to the whole world, and their divine Master
said to them, q Take nothing for your journey
neither slaves nor scrip, neither bread nor
money neither have two coats apiece" The
pastors Of our fashionable churches sadly neg
lect this command at the present day. Fine
lawn and broadcloth,a q head done up in the
latest style Of the fashionable hairdresser, a
handsome salary, fat horses and an elegant
establishment, are few of the dis
tinguishing characteristics OF some OF the
apostles Of the nineteenth century. The
churches are SO many mirrors Of fashion
and the latest styles Of bonnets, cloaks
and dresses adorn the pewa BY the way, why
not call these pews boxes and dress circles,
as there are reserved seats in each, and the
audience is mainly made up Of people who 60 to

Of any definite changes in the programmes Of
the managers Of the churches, but doubtless
they have plenty Of religious novelties on

took place in this city and Brooklyn

The British Exped'sion 20 Asy'siaia.


The English journals are beginning to ex-
press the popular doubts and discomfort ex-
cited by preparations for the "little war"
which Great Britain has determined to make
upon Abyssinia. The "little war" assumes,
In the imagination of the public, the alarming
panded by the aid of such terrible allies as
King Theodore is likely to have in the noun
tains and rivers, the burning sun, the fatal
diseases and the hungry hyenas of his almost
inaccessible dominion. II ia felt that If the
British arms are to carry and maintain their
prestige into those partially explored regions
something more Is requisite than detachment
Of Indian troops from Bombay. The original
plans for the campaign will probably have to be
subjected to change involving an expense of
treasure and life far greater than, at an earlier
period, might have sufliced to vindicate British
sooty suitor of Queen Victoria--delghted with
her portrait and satisfied that she must have
inherited oxen enough to supply her, according
to Abyssinian CUSTOMS with an ample dowry-
has so long held in captivity. These prisoners
are, indeed, supposed to be held at present by
the insurgents against King Theodore, who is
regarded as a usurper by the adherents OF
rival claimant to lneal descent from the
wise King Solomon and the "black but
comely" Queen of Sheba. But in the melee
between the rival factions now making con-
fusion worse confounded in the always anar-
chical kingdoms of Shoa, Tiger and Amhara,
that mainly constitute the realm over which
King Theodore claims sway, there is danger
lest the British prisoners lose their lives and
their remains be mutilated in the disgusting
style said to be fashionable in Abyssinia in
time of war. The moment is deemed by the
British government TO be well chosen for an
attempt 10 rescue these unfortunate captives, in
asmuch as the internal dissensions Of the natives
NAV divide and weaken the forces which they
might oppose to invasion. But unless the most
ample and careful preparations are made fol
tho campaign IL 10 feared by many that thu
willy savage tribes Of Abyssinia may suspend
their domestic quarrels and unite in battling
the foreign invaders. They might as craftil,
and murdcrously defy for long time the com
bined armies of Europe as the Algerians defied
| the French and Is our Indians defy and battle
ua The ultimate success, however, Of thu
Abyssiuian expedition will probably be secured
at least 10 far as to teach King Theodore and
| his turbulent subjects to dread the roar Of The
british lion much moro than that Of the lions
which travellers in Abyssnia seem to meet
| oitener than the natives themselves. More
over. il an exploring party Of savans, like tha
which Napoleon carried into Egypt should
accompany the Abyssinian expedition, th'
world at large might be benefited BY The dis
