TIC ( r double) SPRING SKIRT.
Wksts, Bradley & Cary, '(late J. I. &J. O. West,)
sole Proprietors and Manufacturers, 97 Chambers and
79 and 31 Iteade streets, New York.
This invention consists of duplex (or two) elliptic
steel springs, ingeniously braided, tightly and firmly
together, edge to edge, making the toughest, most
flexible, elastic and durable spring ever used. They
seldom bend or break and consequently preserve their
perfect and beautiful shape twice as long as any other
Skirt.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any ,ady wearing the Duplex Elliptic Skirt
will be experienced particularly in all crowded assem
blies, opera, carriage, railroad cars, church pews, arm
chairs, for promenade and House dress, as the Skirt
will fold itself, when in use, to occupy a small place as
easily and conveniently as a silk or muslin dress.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort, and
great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Spring Skirt for n. single day will never afterward wil
lingly dispense with the use of them. For Children,
Misses and Young Ladies they arc superior to all
others.
They are the best quality in every part, and un
questionably the lightest, most desirable, comfortable
and economical Skirt ever made. For sale in all first
class stores in this city and throughout the United
States, Havana de Cuba, Mexico, South America, and
the West Indies.
Inquire for the Duplex Elliptic Skirt.

{ H)LDEN ALE.
Written when times were dull, and Golden Ale want
ed a market—many years ago.
What'B the world to a man without children and wife,
He may toil, he may strive, the whole length of his
life,
Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits ’twill eheer,
Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature
near.
Dct him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll
be;
llow tyis heart will expand when a babe’s on his knee;
Let him never imbibe till his spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for ever bo there.
Tlie old maiden, too, had long thought to herself;
When no kind hand was near, she must get on the
shelf;
Hut she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train
Drought beauty and youth to her cheek once again.
And 'overs in scores to her cottage repair,
onth blooms on her cheeks and raven’s her hair,
Once again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale,
And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ale.
The old and the young to be hearty and hale,
Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale,
And their cellars well store for the cold winter’s night
As ’tis health to the sick, to the blind it is light.

S. 7-30 LOAN.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
undersigned has assumed the General Subscription
Agency for the sale of United States Treasury No.
tes. bearing seven and three-Unths per cent, interest
per annum, known as the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes are issued under date of August 13th,
1864, and are payable three years from that time, in
currency, or are convertible at the option of the
holder into
UNITED STATES 5-20 SIX PER CENT..
GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per
cent., including gold interest from Nov., which
makes the actual profit on the 7-30 loan, at current
ra'es, including interest, about ten per cent, per an,
num, besides exemption from State and municipal
taxation, which adds from one to three per cent, more ,
according to the rate levied on other property. - The
interest is payable semi-annually by eoupous attached
to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any
bank or banker.
The interest amounts to
One cent, per day on a SSO note.

Notes of all denominations named will be prompt
ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions. This is
THE ONLY' LOAN IN MARKET
now ottered by the Government, and it is confidently
expected that its superior advantages will make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $2,000,000 remain unsold, which will pro
bably be disposed of within the next 60 or 90 days,
when the notes will undoubtedly command a pre
mium, as has uniformly been the case on closing the
subscription to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section
of the country may be aflorded facilities for taking the
loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Pri
vate Bankers throughout the country have gener
ally agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Sub
