single remedies possess several properties.
QuiniUe, for instance, has a tonic quality,
which suggests its use in cases of debility;
an anti'periOdic, by which it is eficacious in
ague and a febrifuge property which rem
ders it ethcacious in cases OF fever. The
result Of its administration will plso vary
with the quantity given and the circum-
stances under which it is employed. So,
likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery
possesses both pectOral and Alternative, or
hIood-cleansing properties of the highest
order. By reason of these two prominent
properties it cures two classes Of diseases.
First, those of the respiratory organs, as
throat, bronchial, and lung aztec tons,
chronic coughs and asthma, and second, dis
eases of the blood and granular system, in
which affections all skillful physicians en-

While its use is, by its combination of prop
critics, suggested IN cases of pulmonary CON

ing it will cure you if your lungs are half
consumed, nor because it is recommended

annihilated without knowing whence nor
how we received the terrible blow. We have
believed ourselves masters of the situation,
when we have been on a volcano. And, to-
day, we must actually struggle if we do not
want to encounter, in all the markets, that
rival manufacture. For a long time we have
hoped thrt the customs duties, amounting to
Is per cent, might be reduced. We cannot
count upon it. America needs all her re-
sources, and whether Democrats or Republ.
cans he in power, We cannot hope for a re-
duction of import duties. We must, there
fore, make up our mind t. lose the American
market. 1t has been cOmplacently said, that
the Americans do hot make the entire watch,
but are dependent upon Switzerland for sew
eral parts Of the watch. This il a mistake.
The Waltham Company make the entire
watch from the first screw to the case and
dial. II would even be difficult for them to
use our products, so greatis the regularity,
so minute the precision with which their
machines work.
They arrive at the regulation of the
watches-so to say-withOut having seen it.
When the watch is given to the adjuster, the
foreman delivers to him the corresponding
hairspring, and the watch is regulated. [Sen.
Ration among the audience.l Here is what
l have seen, gentlemen! asked
from the director of the Waltham Company
a watch OF the NTH grade. A large sale was
opened before me; at random took watch
out of it and fastened it to my chain. The
director having asked me to let him have the
watch for two or three days, so rs TO observe
its motion, I answered, ION the contrary,
persist in wearing it Just as it is to obtain an
; exact idea of your manufacture" At Paris |
set my watch by a regulator on the BOule-
ward, and on the sixth day | observed that 1t
varied 80 seconds! And this watch is OF the
fifth American grade, it costs IS francs {mOve-
ment without cases. On my arrival at L0cle
| showed the watch to one of our first adj
iusters, who asked permission to take it
dOwu-that is, to take it to pieces. /, how
ever wished to observe it, and here is the
result which l noted: Hanging daily varia-
ton, IL seconds; variation in different pO-
sitions from 4 to seconds; in the heated
room the variation was very slight. Having
thus observed it, handed it over to the ad-
ulster, who took it down. After few days
he came to me and said, word for word, II
an c0mEetelv 0reruheimed; the result IL in
rredil one 1r0,0d not ind one such 1c0tch
AMONG fny thousand Of our manufacture!
This watch, gentleman, l repeat to you, l
took at hazard-Out of a heap, as we say.
You understand from this example, that the
American watch may be preferred to the
SWISS. l have finished, gentlemen, and have
told Won OF things such as l have seen them.
1t remains for US to profit from this sad e1'
perience, and to improve our manufacture.

LOSS OF HAIR.

BosToN, July -.
MEssRs. JosEPH BURNETT & Co.:
For many months my hair had been falling off,
until l fearful Of losing it entirely. The skin
upon my head became gradually more and more IN
famed, so that could NOT touch it without pain.
BY che advice Of my physician, to whom you had
shown your process Of purifying the Oil, commenced
its the last week in June. The first application
aaYed the itching and irritation. In three or four
days the redRess and tenderness disappeared, the
hair ceased to fall, and have now thick growth Of
new hair.

ington says:
"The first signal for the removal
from the White House of the Grant
family, who have lived there longer
than any family since Gen. Jackson re-
moved on the completion of his second
term of President, will be given about
the Goth of the present month. Mr..
and Mrs. Sartoris will then go to the
residence of Mrs. Louis Dent 1.-THE
widow of the late Judge Dent, with
whom they will remain several weeks,
if not longer. Where the remainder of
the family will go on leaving the White
House appears still to be undecided.
Mrs. Grant speaks pleasantly of leaving
The house which has been her home for
eight years, but says she would be most
ungrateful if she felt no regrets in de-
parting. She has been very happy, she
says, during her residence there, and
feels that she is indebted to many for
having done so much to make her life
there pleasant. She says she deeply
feels the compliment paid her husband
by the American people in electing him
President twice. Yet she does not
speak with regret of giving up the po-
sition she has enjoyed so long. She is
n who will always be happy in her
family relations, so the loss of political
rank by her husband will not seriously
affect her spirits"

RETROGRESSION IN NORTH CAROLINA
Mob Rule VS.. Civil Rule.

a bloody difficulty occurred at the
Blue House, seven miles from Hender-
sonville, n. c., last week. While U. S.
Commissioner Morris was conducting a
preliminary investigation of a charge of
illicit distilling against Walker New
man, a notorious distiller of Polk
county, North Carolina, n band of des-
peradoes, armed to the teeth, rode up
and commenced firing on the officers.
The widest confusion ensued. AT the
first fire Commissioner Morris leaped
through the window at a single bound,
leaving the officers of his court to take
care of themselves. Thomas Iarkins,
one Of the deputy marshals, made a
gallant stand, and though shot through
and through at the first fire, he re-
turned it, dangerously wounding James
Fisher, one of the notorious Fisher
brothers, whose very name has inspired
terror through the western regions of
North Carolina. E. NJ. Merrel, an
other deputy marshal, seeing that the
odds were overwhelmingly against
them, fled for his life, closely pursued
by four of the outlaws. Several shots
were fired at him, only one, however,
taking effect. The wound was not Sc
rious, however, but his escape was con-
sidered miraculous. When Harkins
fell, Walker Fisher, the leader of the
gang, brutally assaulted and severely
wounded him about the head. Then,
with yells and curses, the gang rode
off, leaving the senseless and bloody
body of their comrade (Fisiler) on the
ground. Both the wounded men were
taken to the nearest house, where they
received medical attendance. 1t is
thought that neither a live. The &C.
currence has caused the greatest ex-
element. A posse left there that night
with the county sheriff for the scene of
trouble, but by this time the raiders
are probably at a safe distance. Walker
Fisher, the leader of the gang, is a des-
perate character, and for months he
has defied the utmost efforts of the Off
GERS to arrest him.
The haunts of the gang are i'll the
mountains of North and South Caro-
lima, the counties of Polk and Heuder-
son being border counties between the
two States. Over 100 illicit distillcries
are in full blast in these mountains, and
the proprietors are SO thoroughly organ
lied that they boldly challenge the OIL
GERS of the law. In the last campaign
they gave Tilden a Jealous support, and
since the election boldly that
under the new administration they are
entitled to make the :" crooked" with
out license or authority. The revenue
force is entirely inadequate to suppress
it, and it is as much as a mans life is
worth to venture in the mountain fast
nesses of these desperadoes. The muir
der of revenue officials isnow becoming
a thing of frequent occurrence, and so
great is the terrorism that witnesses for
the government do not dare to attend
thetrials against Illicit distillers, as the
government is too weak to protect them.
