The Chicago Republican, thus closes a
review of Mr.. Pendleton's Speech at St.
Paul:
It's refreshing to hold communion with
the spirits of the dead without resorting
to the humbug of table-tipping, or being
overwhelmed by the CHASTITY dishab;lIe Of
moonlight phantOms that make
Each particular hair 10 stand en- end"
Like quilts upon the fretful porcupine
Living men are grateful, therefore, to
this heavyweight specter, Hon. Geo. HI.
Pendleton, for showing to us what it is
that we have so long since consigned to
the worms. Like the ancient Egyptians,
we like to trot out our embalmed memo
ries occasionally and show them up.
Without any larger injection of spice and
aloes, Hon. George H. Pendleton might
be relied upon to preserve his present con-
dition without raising any particular odor
for a thousand years. A very fine num-
my, indeed!

A WONDERFUL BIRTH.-One of the
most wonderful births Of which we ever
heard occurred at Chippewa Falls on Sat
urdsy evening. July 18th. a German
woman by the name of Mrs. J. Clemens,
was delivered of a son with two bodies,
two heads, four eyes aud four arms! One
of the bodies was born apparently inani-
mate, while the other body only lived
about three quarters of an hour. This
is doubtless the most singular PRODIGY in
the form of childbirth that ever occurred
IN this or any other country. We under
stand that two men of the Falls, have Of
fered one thousand dollars for the lease
of the bodies for five years, which has
been accepted 10y the parents.-Eu Claire

THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC
STITCH SEWING MACHINES

SIIGCd SEWlNG MACHlN Els
Are superior to all others for the following
reasons:
l. They sew direct from the spOols, and
require no re-winding OF thread.
2. They are more easily understood and
used, and less liable to arrangement than oth-
er machines.
3. They are capable of executing perfect
ly, without change of adjustment, a much
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is
much more firm, elastic, and durable. espe-
cially upon articles which require to be wash
ed and irOned than any other stitch
5. This stitch, owing to the manner Ia
which the outer thread is nwrought. is much
the most plump and beautiful In use, and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ironed until
they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of on
ly few stitches, it will neither open, run, nor
ravel, but remains firm and durable.
Z. Unlike other machines, these fasten
both ends of the seam by their own opera
ton.
8. With these machines, while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam, cot
ton may be used upon the other side without
lesseniRg the strength or durability of the
seam. This can be done on no other ma.
chine, and is great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with silk.
g.. These machines. in addition to their
superior merits as instruments for Sewing, by
a change of adjustment, easily learned and
practised, execute the most beautiful and per-
tnanent embroidery and ornamental work.

A CARD FROM THE
American Watch Com'y
WALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave 70 inform the pub
lie that that they commenced operations in
1850, and their factory now covers four acres
of ground, and has cost more than a million
dollars, and employs over 700 operatives
They produce $4,000 Watches a year, and
make and sell not less than one.half of all
the watches sold in the United States
The difference between their manufacture
and the European, is briefly this European
Watches are made almost entirely by hand,
and the result is of necessity lack OF that
uniformity. which is indispensable to correct
time excepting. Both the eye and the hand Of
the most skillful operative must vary. But it
is fact that. except watches of the higher
grades, European watches are the product OF
the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and the re-
suit is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and so
called Patent Levers-which soon cost more
in attempted repairs, than their original price.
Common wOrkmen, boys and women. buy
the rough separate parts of these watches
from various factories. polish and put them
together, and take tkem to the nearest watch
merchant, who stamps and engraves them
with any name or brand that may be ordered
How American Watches are Made.
The American Waltham Watch is made by
no such uncertain process-and by no such
incompetent workmen. All the Company's
operations from the reception of the raw ma
terials TO the completion of the Watch, are
carried on under one roof and under one
skillful and competent direction. Bat the
great distinguishing feature of their Watches.
is the fact that their several parts are all made
by the finest, the most perfect and delicate
machinery ever brought to the aid of human
industry. Every one one of the more than
hundred parts of every watch is made by
machine-that infallibly reproduces every
succeeding part with the most unyarying &C.
curucy, 1t was only necessary TO make one
perfect watch of any particular style and then
to adjust the bundled machines necessary to
reproduce every part of that watch, and it
follows that every succeeding watch must be
like it.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim
to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than
can be made under the old-fashioned handi-
craft system. They manufacture watches of
every grade, from a good. low priced, and
substantial article, in solid silver hunting ca
ses, to the finest chrohometer and also la
dies watches in plain gold or the finest en-.
ameled and jeweled cases but the indispen-
sable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t
should be remembered that, except their sin
gle lowest grade named Home Watch Com
pany, Boston," ALL WATCHES made by
them
Are Fully Warranted
by special certificate. and this warrantee
is good at all times against the Company or
Its agents.
