a SAD CAsE.-James Tracy, fireman Of
the Lansing, who was killed by the explo-
sion, leaves a young wife and two children,
the oldest of which is about years of age.
She is in extremely destitute circumstances,
absolutely suffering for the. necessaries of
life, and her sad condition calls for public
sympathy and aid. A committee of gentle
men will go around with paper, on Monday
or Tuesday, asking such contributions to re-
lieve the poor woman's present and pressing
wants, as the people may please to bestow.
The smallest will be thankfully received.

THE Union still misrepresents us. Speak
ing of the Mobile rioters. it says "The AR
GUS says they did about right" The ARGUS
has said no such thing. The ARGUS says
they did about wrong-very wrong. The
ARGUS never yet approved of mob-wheth-
er committed by Jim Beardsley and his ruff
fans, in ROCK Island; or Deacon 1t. Gov.
Bross, and his rufians, who mobbed Doug
las and prevented bim from speaking in
Chicago; or the Massachusetts fanatics who
prevented Daniel Webster from speaking in
Faneuil Hall, in Boston or the southern
fanatics who broke up Judge kelley's meet
ing in Mobile. Mobs are wrong and unjus-
tifable-and it was unjustifable in Judge
Kelley to provoke one. We don't think he
will do it again. Other radical speakers
have been prudent enough to refrain from
insulting people who are governed by bayo-
nets. 1t is cowardly and mean to insult a
prisoner-and that is, in effect, what the
this creature Kelley did.

I'm THE CORAL CAVES
a YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after sojourn
of a few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nized by her friends. In place of coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had a soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead Of
twenty three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry to the cause of so great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the Cir
CA>siAS BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, as nature herself Is simple, yet I'M
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healin the same, and leaving the surface
as nature intended it should be- clear, soft, smooth

ACARD FROM THE
American Watch Company
OF
WALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave TO inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce $4,000 Wat
ches year, and make aud 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-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillfuI operative
must vary. But il is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and
so-called Patent Levers-which soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, bury the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories polish and put them together, and take
them 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 incom-
petent workmen. All the companys operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, carried on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
arts all made by the finest, the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought TO the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
q hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infallibly reproduees every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch of one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part Of
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part 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 fsshioned handcraft sys-
tenn They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold OF
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the in
dispensable requisite of all their watches is that
| they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single Lowest
grade named "Home Watch Company, Boston,
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee is goo,
| at all times against the company or its agents.

\ 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 deIuged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three boxes
of his matchless salve.
DIR. Maggiels Pills and Salve have ushered in
new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggers Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiel's Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infalhble.
