who Gets the Money !
70 the Editor of the State Journal:

TO the Editor Of The Statc Journal:
brief pointed letters" etc., and, there
fore, ask who gets the money which pays
for Dominican
When we bought Florida, Louisiana, a
large slice OF Mexico, and the ioebergs of
Alaska, with the glaciers thrown in, we
know who the money went to. Now, we
propose to buy the whole of an indepen-
dent nationality, owned by neither Spain,
France, Russia, nor yet by Baez, Cabral
or any other man; and would like to
knew who pockets the pay? 1t is a nice
sum for somebody. When the country is
bought and paid for, it is ours; and, in
accordance with the old slave principle
the negro and his property belonged to the
purchaser, the possessions of the acquired
country will be ours as well as the country
itself. No one supposes the purchase
money is coming back to our hands again
after acquiring title. Dominica is repub-
lie and almost a democracy; the money
morally belongs to the inhabitants, but it
would be impossible to divide it among
them. What is to be done with it z
Again There has been much said
about the resources" of this country, but
have not yet heard whether or not it
enjoys the BLESSINGS" as some crazy poll
ticians term it, of a national debt and,
of course, if such is the case, am entire
ly in the dark as to whether we buy
large increase to our own present debt, be-
sides the addition which the purchase
price of Dominica will ensure. W
Do not understand from these two ques-
tons that | am opposed to the policy of
annexation. So far as that is concerned,
am neutral-just as England was In our
civil war, with strong desire, which
cannot give reason for, that annexation
may be accomplished. These two ques-
tons have suggested themselves to me,
and the first one seems to contain the germ
of special Congressional committee for
examination. T. JEENs, JR.

WATCHES.

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers and
Expressmon, the most exacting of watsh 'wearers,
has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadi-
ness, durability and accuracy of tho watham
Watch 10 satisfy that class in all these respects is
to decide the question to the real value of these
time-keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets OF the peo-
plea proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of the
Company's Works at Waltham enables them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders competition
futile and those who buy any other watch merely
pay from 20 TO so per cent. for their watches
than is necessary.
Those time-pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every inven-
ton in matchmaking originating in this country or
in Europe, only those were finally adopted which
severe testing by the most skilfull artisans in our
works, and long use the part Of the public, de-
monstrhted to be essential to correct and enduring
timekoeping.
Among the many improvements we would parti.
cularize: r--rsr
The invention and use of a centre.pinion of re.
cular construction, to prevent damage to the train
by the breskage of main-sprDgs Is original with the
American Watch Company who, having had the re-
fusal Of all contrvanees, adopted Foggs patent pin
ion as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs now unver-
sally admitted by Watcbmakers to be the best are
used In all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Walthsm Watches have dust proof caps. pro.
teoting the movement from dust, and lessening the
necessity OF the frequent cleaning necessary in other
Watches ii.
Our new patent stem.winder, or keyless watch is
already decided success, and great improvement
on any STEM winding watch in the American market
and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now Of
fered to the public. To those living in portions of
the United States where watch do not abound
watches with the above mentioned improvements
which tend to ensure accuracy Cleanliness durabil-
ty and convenience, must prove invaluable.

ADvIoEs from Zurich, Switzerland, con-
tain certain information of serious riot
which occurred in that city on Thursday
evening. A French mob collected on that
evening in the streets of the city, and pro-
ceeded to the quarters where a number of
French soldiers were detained as prisoners,
with the purpose of setting them at liber-
ty. The Swiss troops were Immediately
called out, and were soon at the scene of
the disturbance. An endeavor was made
to disperse the mob without bloodshed
but proved futile, and the order to fire
was given to the troops. The command
was obeyed, and the mob, seeing the deter
mination of the military, and unable to
withstand tie fire, quickly dispersed,
leaving seven of their number dead in the
street. A number of others have also been
wounded, 90

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
The readers of your paper have reason
! to thank you for the useful and interesting
editorial on the subject of "Fruit Culture
in Virginia" One such practical article
is worth thousand columns of political
quarreling and wrangling. Continue to
follow up this communication with others
of similar nature, and you will soon OBJ
tain a greater degree of influence and
popularity for your paper than its most
sangulne admrer could antici pate
In your reference to the system of culti-
waiting and manuring, you have left out the
most valuable of all tree fertilizers and
protectors and if you have never tried it,
| am sure one experiment alone would
satisfactorily demonstrate its admirable
properties. / mean tobacco stalks and
stems. They may be applied by being
scattered thickly around the root of the
tree and dug in the soil, or they may be
heaped up around the base of the tree, an d
left to the action of the air and rain, which
will soon decompose them, and will furnish
a supply Of food for the young tree. One
happy effect of the application of the to-
bacco stalks is, that it completely destroys
all insects of every kind that often damage
and sometimes destroys the young tree.
| have mad occasion to apply the above
to various kinds of fruit trees and always
with the happiest results. The tree be-
comes strong and healthy and vigorous
growth is the result
In large section of the State this APP
plication would cost nothing as the tobacco
stalks are not unfrequently left latter
