How to Buy Favor zt.- !, I

At late meeting Of the stockholders of
| the Galveston Street Railroad Company
Major Plamly made q statement in refer
ence to the enc hundred shares of stock
held by the heirs of. Gen. Griffin, which
some commended ought not to have been
issued at sl5, when it stood higher ID the
market. The General bought the stock
when it stood at t$l4, but failing to receive
certain expected funds, a delay in the pay
mert was granted, with the understanding
that any moment the money was called for
! it should be forthcoming. In the mean
time the General died, and neither the
President nor the directors thought it
right to defraud his widow ofthat which in
equity and good faith was hers. s.gag,.,5 =
Here we have d specimen OF the reason
why, ia the opinion Of our military rulers,
the Southern people cannot be safely en-
trusted with their; own government, Here
is bonus paid for the favor Of the com
mandant. What a shallow pretence for
complying with the bargain !! Here it apr
pears, that the subscription was madewhen
The stock was at a, low price, The stock
was not paid out at the then srequisition,
It was payable at any moment, etc, Yet
it is now saleable at the advance price.

REASONS WHY THE
A MEXICAN WATCH
Made at WaIthaln, Mess.
Is PIE BEST.


1t is made On the best principle. Its frams
is composed of solid plates. No jar can inter
fere with the harmony of It's working and no
sudden shock damage its machinery Eve
ny piece is made and finished by machinery
Itself famous fer its novelty. as we'll for its
sffeetiveness) and is therefore properly made.
The watch is what all mechanism should be-
accurate, simple, strong and economical. Ex-
eept some higher grades, too costly for general
use, foreighn watches are chiefly MADE - wo-
and boys. Such watches made Of
several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted
together, and require constant repairs to keep
them in any kind of order. All persons who
have carried 'sancres," "lepines" and English
Patent LEVERS" are perfectly well aware Of the
Truth of this statement.
AT the beginning of our enterprise more
than ten years ago, It first object to
the millios, TO. take the place of these foreigs
imputations- refuse of foreign factories
which were entirely unsaleahle at home and
perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact, that after so many
years OF public trial, we now make more than
half of sll the watches sold in the UnitsA
States, and that no others have ever given suoh
universal satisfaction. While this department
of cur business is continued with increased ia
elities for perfect work, are at present en-
gagged in the manufacture of watches of the
very uIgneSI grade Known Il, rhxonoxaot~v. ux-
equalled by anything hitherto made by our
selves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
The world. FoE this purpose we have the am
plest facilities. We have erected an addition
main buildings, expressly for this branch OF
our business, and have filled it with the best
workmen in cur service. New machines and
appliances have been constructed, which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exaetness. The choicest and most approved
materials only are used and we challenge COM
the finest imported chronometers We do not
pretend to sell onr watches for less money than
foreign watches, but We do assert without fear
of contradiction that for the same money our
product is ineomparsbiy superior. All our
watches, of whatever grade, are fully warrant
ed and this warrantee is good at all times
against rs OF cur agents in all parts of the
world. -lIe

OrFEaISG ST. PAUL SEAT-Tn
wild western town where the sound of the
church bell had never been heard, notice
was given that the Rev, a disting-
uished Presbyterian divine, would preach
on certain day.
The natives. who consisted mainly Of
those hardy pioaeers who have preceded
civilization. come to hear him. They
had an instructive idea that preaching
was something to be heard, and all at
tended to hear it.
After the service had begun, a raw
boaed hunter, with rifle in hand and all
the Announcements Of the chase about him
entered and took the only vacant scat
a nail-keg without either head. The
current thoughts of the preacher lei him
into description of Heaven and Its in
habitants With great power be had
drawn a picture of the habitation OF the
blest, and was assigning each of the pat
riarchs and anostles to bis appropriate
place His CaNanistic tendencies led
him to reserve the apostle Paul for his

highest Toint, and an upward gesture
that seemed to be directed to the Hottest
attitude Of the heavenly places, he said
s'And where, my hretheren, shall we seat
the great apostle of the Gentiles =.
Where, [ say, shall we place the apostle
Paul? !"
Then pausing to give the imagination
time to reach the elevation designed fol
the apostle, he fixed his eyes upon the
hero of the rifle He therefore thinking
the address personal, rose instantly, anC
replied
