WALTH-AM
WAT CHES
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
states keep WaItham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstand-
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. Tho reason Of this is, that the rsputs.
tion Of the Wstham Watch renders it 40 easy
sale, and the result is that although the dealer
docs not make IS much money on each indlvi-
dual watch as he may on the sale of other watch
ss, he is still the gamer through larger and live
lier Tales. There are some, however, among the
trade, who DO not give the WalthAm Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
| Poftion Of the trade fancy there is more money
to DO made by dealing in watches about which
| the public are ignorant, and in which there IS
| less competition, and are content to make an
| occasional sale Of such watches at large profit.
1t 10 this class of dealers who, when asked about
WalthAm Watches, use that kind of language
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
a watch asis the most proHta lie for the dealer
TO sell.

THuRLow WEED.

ThurIow Weed has returned from South
Carolina aud purchased farm near Canaan
Aim. On the West bank of the lake, where
I'LL aeon take up his residence in retire.
mont By the retirement of Mr.. Weed from
active participation in public concerns the
strictly speaking political world loses one OF
il, greatest forces FOR although he has not
ac1nired any Of that artificial prominence
impar.ed by official station, there is probs
bly no politician now living who has equal,
ed him in influence in political movements.
To no other individual probably in the state
Of New York or elsewhere is the Republican
party so much indebted as to him for it's
growth and strength. The party, for years
OF its early struggles with adverse fortune,
was Mr.. Weeds nursing. He fosteTed il
and lead il by ways it knew not to the full
strength Of a dominant power in the land.
II is true that he had as an active co.aborer,
William II. Seward, who eTerted a great
influence, yet the real motive power of the
party was the ever dilligent, watchful, earn
es, Weed. His great success is no doubt
largely attributable to the fact that he was
not an Office seeker. BY declining TO &C.
cept Office from the party he sought to build
up, he multiplied many fold his personal
influence and political power. 10 this re.
spect he has been to the Republican party
Of the North exactly what William l.. YGncy
has to the secessionists Of the South. Yam
Cy was the father and inspiration Of the
accession movement; the righteousness Of
the cause be never for ore moment doubted
in his Utmost consciousness. He therefore
lsbored earnestly and continually in every
field and on all occasions to deyelope and
educate dominant party ia the South up
to his own standard, whose mission WAS the
separation and independence Of the cotton
states. He never sought and would not &C
cept Office or candidacy for office except as
a means of accomplishing the great Ambi.
ton OF his life. As a politician in the strict
meaning Of the term, he WAS without an
equal in this country. No one could be so
properly compared with him az Mr. Weed.
It's remarkable fact in connection with
the history Of both these men that each lost
control Of the great parties TO which they
gave life and power, Before his death
Iancy discovered that be had nursed into
giant strength political forces which he
could no more control aud direct than b,
could handle the lightnings or conhne thu

HIM as an agitator and ultraist whose con-
