II E. Rawson ha lately received and is
constantly making additions to his stock of
Watches of all kinds, and has now on hand
fine assortment of the celebrated Waltham
and Elgin Watches, which cannot be excelled
for durability and accuracy in time-keeping.-
These watches will always be sold at the lowest
possible prices, and all are fully warranted. For
persons who require strong, well made watch,
nothing excel watches made on the Amer
lean plan as the peeuarities of construction rem
der them strong and less liable to get out of or
der than most foreign watches. The Elgin watch
es have valuable patented improvement, which
in case of breaking the handspring, renders dam
age to the train impossible. These American
watches are all made in regular sizes, so that
persons buying, can have cases of any thickness
or weight desired, and exchanges in either cases
or movements can be made at any time. E. E..
Rawson has also supply of cheap foreign watch
es which will be sold at the lowest figures Also,
Jewelry and Fancy Goods of all kinds. E. E.
Rawson is sole agent for the celebrated Lanca-
shire Lens Spectacles, also the Lazarus & Morris
perfected spectacles, which are sold at manufac-
turers' prices. These lenses are much superior
to the spectacles commonly aawked about the
country, and by their USE tend to preserve, rath-
er than injure the sight, and by his long expert
ence in fitting lenses to the eye, Rawson believes
that he can suit most persons much better than
most of the SO called opticians who travel the
country selling specs, because they are too lazy
to work, and find it natural and easy to tell lies
These specs are always exchanged if after wear.

fit the eye. Aas $50 20

WASHINGTON, August 17.-The provisions
of the new tax bill forbidding the distilla-
ton and recsifcation in buildings within

resting legal question Which of the many
extensive establishments of each class now
within that distance of each other shall
cease operations
The Star says: "Several of the new
Governors Of the southern States recently
made requisition on the Secretary of War
for arms, under law passed in 1896, but
the Secretary declines to furnish them until
further legislation on the subject. The
Governors have in consequence united in
an appeal to Congress to meet On the day to
which it had adjourned to take action in
the matter"
1t is stated that both the French and Prus-
sian Ambassadors here have advices indi-
eating war between the two countries.
Minister Rosecrans has received part of
his instructions. The policy towards Mex
leo is to be conciliatory. The treaty regard
ing claims against Mexico will be sent there
for ratification, there being no Mexican
Minister. Nocommissioner under the treaty
will be appointed until it is duly ratified.
Attorney -General Eyarts's opinion is

DEATH OF I0UNG LADY FROM DISAP-
FoINTNENT IN LovE.-A sad but interesting
case of the death of young lady named
Susan King is general topic Of converse
ton at Woburn at the present time. The
deceased had been atfianced to young man
10 whom, it appears, she was deeply attach
ct. Some weeks since she happened 10 OBJ
serve him in company with another young
woman under such circumstances as TO give
rise 10 feelings of jealousy on her part. She
upjraided him for his conduct, and he re-
Piled TO her circumstances in spirited
manner, which further provoked her to dis
MISS him. 1t seems, however, that she still
cherished in secret the old affection, and the
disappointment so weighed upon her mind
Is 10 cause a severe nervous attack, result
ing, about Ten days since, in utter prostra-
ton. She remained in this condition until
her death, which occurred on Saturday last.
The circumstances having been so peculiar,
aud the malady having baffled the skill of
the physicians, it was deemed proper an
autopsy should be performed, which was
dene on Monday by Drs. Cutter and Abbot.
No trace of disease, or obvious cause of
death, was discoverable, but the system was
apparently in an entirely healthy and nor
mai condition. The deceased was q person

A SCENE IN FRENCH NEWSPAPER
OFF1cE.-The Paris Pays has the following
account of an attack made upon one Of its
contrib utors, NJ. Paul de Cassagnac:
"To-day, July rs, at quarter to 3,
being in the office of the Pays, we saw
person enter wearing the full uniform Of
naval lieutenant. This person, who had
not been announced, walked up 10 NJ. de
Cassagnac and said to him, Are you NJ.
Paul de Cassagnac l am he replied !;
and then, without any further comment, he
struck him across the face. NJ. de Cassag-
nae, thus insulted, kept his temper, and
said, very well, sir, explain yourself;
what does this mean?' The stranger, who
seemed in great state of excitement, and
who all the time had his hand on the hilt of
his sword, refused at first to explain him
self, yociferating meanwhile, 1t is q duel;
we shall fight to the last drop of blood !;

WINE IN FRANcE.-The Saint Public, of
Lyons, says The wine crop offers SPLEEN
did aspect almost everywhere, and is mag
nifcent in Burgundy, the Maconnais, Re-
vermont, and Lyons country. In the vine
yards of Beaujolais the vine stocks literally
bend beneath the weight of the grapes,
which at present have attained almost their
full size, and have begun to redden for the
last few days. The owners ore in high
spirits, and if slight showers and great
heat should alternate as hitherto, there are
grounds for expecting very superior yield
in quantity and in quality as compared
with that of last year; and besides, the
vintage can be made month earlier. We
cannot deny, however, that the prolonged
drouth and the extraordinary heat have
caused some damage in certain quarters.
In sandy and gravelly soils many of the
grapes have been roasted by the sun. The
vineyards of Mont-d'Or have particularly
suffered in that respect, and rain is ardent
ly longed for. In the South the oidium,
paratively inofensive in these districts,
has caused serious loss.

The EMPRESS AND THE QUEEN.-A Paris
correspondent of July 2Sth says: "The
Empress came to Paris last Saturday for
the Council of Ministers at the Tuileries.
She travelled by the usual train in her
salon car, wedged in between two ordinary
frst-class cars. She read nearly all the
way, and cut several of the papers bought
for her by her command of the woman who
holds stall of books at the depot. very
quiet remark was made by her to one of
the Ministers, who complained of the thick
showers of stones thrown in ministerial
glass-houses. 'Yes,' she said, you are as
badly off as we are, being such very close
neighbours Before leaving the station she
gave instructions for the preparations which
are to be made for the Queen Of England 8
reception on the 9th of August, particularly
impressing on the gentlemen in office that
no official solemnity was to be attempted
simply measures taken which concern her
VISITORS comfort and public security, as the
Queen wishes to preserve the strictest
incognito. Villa Wallace is, I believe, the
place selected for her Majesty at Lucerne--
an honor due to Scotia. d. -

MADEIRA WINE.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says that Madeira wine, once so popular in
England and in India, has long become q
drink of the past. The grape disease
destroyed the famous vineyards of the
island, and the peasantry, thrown out of
work, emigrated to the West Indies, whence
q few of them returning substituted the
cultivation of the sugar cane for that of the
grape. But a firm in Funchal writes to the
Times to announce that the vines Of Ma
deira are recovering from the plague by
which they have been smitten; that the
vintage of 1867 amounted to 1900 pipes, of
which 1000 were of prime quality; and
that the yield of the present year promises
to surpass that of 1867. So cheered are the
Madeirans by their prospects that in many
parts of the island they are roofing up the
sugar canes and replanting vines.

South Carolina Legislature.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 1.-THE House
to-day passed the bill putting the negroes
in the State on an equal footing with the
whites. The negro members demanded
equal rights at hotel tables and beds and in
oil licensed places. Several white Repub-
licans voted against the bill, declaring that
on the question of race they must go with
their own color.
Seventy sections of the tax bill were
passed without opposition, o majority of the
members being too ignorant to discuss it.
The State is practically bankrupt, and
the Governor can raise no funds OH its
credit.
