With this brief list Of prices of
leading articles Of consumption, you
will wonder how the laborer, whose
wages hero in the Duchy Of Baden
average about fifty cents (greenback
basis) day, manages to keep body
and soul together, especially when
his dinner alone must cost nearly
half that. The only answer that L
can give is that he does not live on
meat, butter, COTE, tea, fowls, etc
Ills dinner is soup Of potato and
other vegetables, into which he dips
his black bread and flavors it all with

WI TCHE s.!

The extensive use Of these watches for the las,
hfteen years BY Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Bxpressmen, the most exacting VI wateh>
Wearsrs, has thorouRly demonstrated The siren 9Th
stsadi1ess dureeility and accuracy OF the Wal,
than Watch. To satisfy that classin all these
respects, Is to decide the question a. to the real
value Of these time.keepeIs.
More than 4OO, 900 Of these watches are now
speaking for themselves 10 the pockets Of the
people, proof and guarantee OF their superb
ority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent ol
the Compauy'S Works at Waltham, enable them
TO produce watches at . price which renders
composition futile, and those Who buy any other
watch, merely pay from IS TO so per cent. more
for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling waltham Watches at less
prices in gTeenbsctS, than the gold prices before
the war. There 10 no other manufacture Of any
kind in the United States Of which this eau be
said.
These tme-pieces combine every improvement
that q long experience has proved Of real practi-
cal use. Having had the refusal OF nearly every
invention IN Matchmaking originating iu this
country, or in Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skill
fol artisans in our works, aud long use on the
part Of the public, demonstrated to be essential
to correct and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize
The Invention and use OF centres pinion oi
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train BY the breAkage Of main springs, is oriRi,
nal with the American Watch Company, who,
having had the refusal Of ell other contriVances,
adopted Fogg'S Patent piuion SIS being the best
and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair>springs, now uni,
versally admitted by Wstchmakers 10 be the
best, are used in all gradeB of WsltSam Watches
All WalthAm Watches have dust>proof caps
protecting the movement from dust, aud lessons
ing the necessity Of the frequent cleaning neceS-
sary 10 other watches.
Our new patent stem- -vinder, or keylesS uateh
is already decided success aud q great prove
ment on any stem, winding watch 10 the Ameri.
can market, and BY far the cheapest watch Of its
quality now offered to the public.
To CALIFORNIANS and other living in por-
tions Of the United States where watch. makers
do not abound, watches With the above meution-
ed improvements which tend 70 insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove Invaluable.
Every watch bearing the trade mark Of wAl>

HORRIBLE ACCIDENTAL man named
Jeremiah O'Connor was killed in the Ida
Fillmore Mine, on last Wednesday morning,
by the accidental explosion of can contain
ing some giant powder The facts of The
unfortunate affair as we have gathered them,
are these: The deceased aud Robert Hol-
man we're employed at the windass hosting
ore from the shaft the miners working be,
low being ready to prime, called up to the
men at the windass for charge of powder !;
the deceased, in obeying the order, standing
at the mouth of the shaft, placed lighted
candle beneath the eau, for Ihe purpose of
thawing the powder some, before sending it
below, as he had frequently done before,
when the powder exploded with a terrific
crash, blowing off one of the unfortunate
mans hands and otherwise mutilating his
body, and throwing him down the shaft,
which is upwards of one hundred feet deep.
The men in the mine imagined they heard
him speak after the fall, but this is unlikely
as it is most probable that life had fed even
before the body reached the bottom Of the
shaft-at least such is the opinion Of DR..
Hogg, who was called up. Holman received
slight injuries from flying splinters. OCOn>
