REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH

AMERICAN "AICH
Made at IFALTH4M, MAS.SA CHUSETTS,
IS THE BEST.
It is made on the best principle. It's frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Gtself
famous for its novelty as we'll as for its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
buys. Such watches are composed 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
"ancres" "lepines'' and English Patent Le-
vers," are perfectly well aware of the truth of
thisstatement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make a
thoroughly good low priced watch for the mill.
ion, to take the place of these foreign imposi-
tons the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
How we'll we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that many years of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no Others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work. we are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches OF
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequalled by anything hith-
erto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of our business, and have filed it with the
best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used and chalange compari-
son between. this grade of our work and the finest
imported chronometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
diction that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran-
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts of the world.
CAUTION The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers. All persons selling
counteriets will be prosecuted.

And now came the decision Of His
Honor"
A short, illfavored man, with gene.
raj appearance Of drowsiness and
physical debility, leans forward upon q
desk that is too high for him, and pro.
ceeds to read lecture upon the sin OF
rebellion, the distress Of war and the
magnitude Of treason, in a veice tolerably
clear, and with a readiness Of language
that strongly hinted of manuscript notes
below the cover. Mr.. Davis sat motion.
less and impassive between the Marahal
aud Charles 0'Connor, never raising his
eyes, and resting one cheek upon his
hand. lie was evidently listening tor the
ultimatum Of the Court with fixed atten'
ton, whatever he might have thought, as
the strange, blind remarks proceeded.
The crowd had OWNED in a twinkling
that the right to bail was admitted, and
that the prisoners recoguizance would
be accepted, and many marveled as they
scanned the one downcast form in their
midst, that the prisoner should appear
to lose heart at moment most promis'
ing of his deliverance. Indeed 1t was
the face Of man who had lived life
already, and to whom future allotment
OF years was an excess of the powers OF
enjoyment
The succeeding proceedings were but
triiling incidents, and mainly resulted IN
exhibiting Horace Greeley in his broad
est character, as among the first to be
called by the clerk to affix his autograph
as one of the eighteen bailers. Mr..
Greeley attracted Wholesale attention,
and not little Curiosity was manifested
to observe his first meeting with Mr..
Davis, whom he had heretofore resolutely
refrained from calling upon, in order to
avoid a scene, as he said. He had no
sooner recovered his perpendicular, after
signing the bond than Mr.. Davis moved
forward and grasped his hand and with
few earnest words thanked him for his
good Offices. Mr.. Greeley, meantime,
accepted the thanks with an abashed
expression, but with countenance so
indicative Of pleasure and self.satisfac-
ton that the surrounding spectators
broke out in loud laugh, and renewed
their criticism upon his general oddities
The time soon came when upon the
Court devolved the duty of saying:
"The requirements of bail having
been fully met, the Marshal is directed
to discharge the prisoner.
And hereupon such a shout went up as
seriously startled the decorum of coun.
sci, and caused His Honor to frown
and strike the desk again and again. In
moment Davis was surrounded and
congratulated with an enthusiasm that
thrested to raise him upon the shoulders
of men and bear him aloft from the
scene of triumph As it was, he was
spirited away through crowd murmur-
ing "God bless you !" down into the
street, where vast concourse, with un-
covered heads, cheered to the echo.
Passing hastily through the divided
crowds, himself bowling deeply and un-
covered, Davis entered his carriage, sup
ported by two old-time friends, and
drove off, amid the widest huzzss that
have come from Virginia throats since
the fortunes of Confederacy ceased to
be the bright and hopeful pledge of their
lives and sacred honors.
