No family should be without Allcock's For
Gus Plasters; their healing powers are wonder
full and their efficacy far-reaching and lasting.
For years have seen and known them to cure
and relieve the most obstinate and distressing
cases of rheumatism, kidney complaint bron-
chitis, neuralgia, lumbago inflammation OF the
lungs and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal
weakness, and coughs and colds. In my own
case they have afforded almost instant and
permanent relief. My friends consider them
an Invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds
OF aches and pains. They are blessing in
disguise; and no wife or mother should be
without them if she values her peace and CON-
fort and freedom from nervous exhaustion and
other ailments As a Strengthening plaster,
also for backaches and weaknesses, they have
no equal. never yet found plaster SO efiea-
cious and stimulating, or to give SO much gen.
eral satisfaction. Used in connection with
Brandreth's universal life.giving and life-heal-
ing Pills, no ore need despair of 4 speedy res

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and soLIDTTY and
STRENGTH increased by simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldere,l on each side of plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied Nth q raid guarantee
signed By the manufacturers warranting it 10
wear 20 years. 10000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.
Established 1854. Ask your Jeweler.

60 MADISON AVENUE,


Mr.. ALFRED SPEER.-Dear Sir: The
visit which l made last year to your
Vineyards, wine-presses and vaults at
Passaic, N. j., satisfies me thoroughly
that the wines produced by you are
pure and unadulterated, and the very
best that can be offered to the public
for medicinal uses.
Acting on my favorable impression
at the time, / have since recommended
the Port Wine; more particularly in
my practice, and am satisfied with
marked benefit to my patients.
There can be no better proof to the
doubling mind, an to the wine being
made of the finest Oporto Grape, than
a visit to your acres of land covered
with the vine bearing the luxuriant
fruit. Wishing you success in your
praiseworthy enterprise,
1 remain respectfully youry,
ALEX. B. MOTT, M. D.,

foolish thing, as they are the most

This case is formed in one solid piece with
out joint or seam, opening in Front only, thus
avoiding the usual cap, and securing greater
strength and durability.
These Watches are all open face. The bezel,
into which an extra strong crystal is fitted with
au especially prepared waterproof cement, is
attached to the case by screwing 1t thereon,
and thus forms an air-tight junction with the
body of the case, which is proof against dust
and moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners, lumber
men and others who are almost constantly ex-
posed and who have to make frequent references
to the watch, these qualities are OF the utmost
importance.

Police Census in Baltimore.

The police census of voters in Bal
timorecity was completed last Thurs
day. The returns show total of
81 1853 voters, of these GO, $50 are white
and 1888 colored. The census is
made under the law which requires
that thirty days before the opening of
the registration books, the police
shall obtain a list of names of voters
and of males who will be tWenty-one
years Of age before the next election
in October. The total vote, as taken
by the police, shows an increase of
about 5000 over the vote of last fall
(76, 562), when an exciting campaign
must have brought out full vote of
the city. The city papers agree as a
matter Of fact that the population has
not increased to the extent of adding
5000 voters to the list in one year.
Perhaps the police are preparing for
an emergency that is certain to occur
in November. They know there is
nothing like having strong reserve
force when the battle is close.

ilton under any circumstances, You
see the people cannot do anything

Both the rebels and the Unionists

them from acting together for the

heavily that the ''old fraud" can not
be elected. The vexed question of
Tilden's health has been a prolific
source of discussion, but the truth
seems to lie between the pictures
drawn on either side. The report of
the Chicago Herald man, who visited
Mr.. Tilden recently, is worthy OF
consideration. The special cores
pendent of that paper, after investi-
eating the cipher king personally,
and after interviewing many of his
neighbors, reports that "Mr. Tilden
is in good health. His habits are
regular, and his digestion good. His
hopes run high. His minds is as
bright as a bell, and he seeks vindl-
cation Of the great fraud He wants
the nomination, and is pretty conf
dent of securing it," With Tilden as
the candidate-and there is no disput-
ing that is one of the greatest men in
the Democratic party-we should
again have Mr.. Barnum investing in
"mules." The historic bar'l would
be tapped and money would flow
along with the enthusiasm of its own
creation. Transparencies would bear

The upper corridors of the north

crowded with a miscellaneous mass
of packages of revenue check stamps
received for cancellation in conse-
quence of the change in the revenue
laws, doing away with these stamps.
They come in all sorts of shapes; in
soap boxes. in kegs, in paper bags,
and in canvas. The work of cancel
lation is carried on by thirty lady
clerks, each provided with a self-ink-
ing hand-stamp. They cancel the
stamps at the rate of over 5000 each
