WALTHAM
w WATCHES s

The extensive use of these watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conduc-
tors. Engineers and Expressmen, the.most
exactiug of watch-wearsrs, has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength, st-adiness, du-
rability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these
respects, is to decide the question as to the
real value of these time-keepers.
More than 500, 900 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets
of the peoples proof and a guarantee OF
their superiority over all others
The superior organization and great ex-
tent of the Company's Works at Waltham,
enables them TO produce watches at price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from
20 to 80 per cent. more for their watches
than is necessary.
These tims-pieees combine every improve
meat that long experience has proved Of
real practical use. Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in watch max in z
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe
testing by the most skilfull artisans in orr
works, and long use on the part of the pub
lie, demonstrated TO be essential to correct
and enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of n centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, 10 prevent damage
TO the train by the breakage of main
springs, is original with the American
Watch Company, who, having had the re-
fusal of all other contrivanees, adopted
Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and
faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers TO be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
caps, protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder or keyless
watch is already a decided success, and 4
great improvement any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offer
ed to the public. To those living in por-
tions of the United States where watch
makes do not abound, watches with the above
mentioned improvements which tend to
ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.

by the Company are as follows:

The Anarchy I'm south Carolina.

Undoubtedly the condition of affairs
in some portions of South Carolina is
distressing. The most vindictive Radical
ought to be satisfied with the spectacle of
helpless suffering presented by this noble
old State, the tone of whose society be-
fore the war was so high that never, as a
colony or as State, was a divorce de-
creed within its limits. But the foun-
datiens of that society have been up
rooted, all its elements reversed, the laws
of nature outraged, and the bottom
placed on top. The Radical sway
throughout its borders is absolute, and
negroes swarm every grade of Office.
How Anglo Saxons can find it in their
hearts to impose such degradation on any
people of their own race, is mystery of
hate. If the horrors of San Domingo
are to be repeated on the continent,
Radicalism alone is responsible. They
make desert, and call it peace chaos,
and call it reconstruction.
