Englisii, of Connecticut. .James E. English was born March 13, 1812. During 68 years of ac tive business and political life he has never been sick a day: never took a drop of medicine and never called a physician. Ilia health is perfect; his form is straight ns nn arrow, his step as active and quick as a hoy of 20, his eyo is bright and his natural force unabated. What is more to the point, the re publicans will find before the cam paign is over, that Governor Eng lishes the liveliest “old man” they have seen for many a day, and that he will give them such a sound po litical drubbing that they’ll think they’ve been struck by lightning on election day.—New Haven Regis ter.

It will be apparent to nny ono, who will examine a Solid Gold Watch, (hat aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polisiiiog ft large propor tion of the precious inetal used, is Hee led only to stiffen and hold the engrav ed portions in place, and supply th necessary solidity and strength. ’ The surplus gold is actually needless so far as utility and beauty arc concerned. In James B ss’ Patent Gold Watch Cases, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity nnd strength produced at from one-third to one-halt of the usual cost of solid eases. This process is of the most simple na ture, as follows: A pinto of nickl composition metal, espeniu’.ly adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold soldered on inch side. The three arc then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is n strip of heavy plated composition, from which tl cases, hacks, centres, bezels, Ac., are cut and shaped hy suitable dies and for mers. The gold in these eases is snf- Hcicutly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth hy time and use w ithout removing the gold. This is the only ease made with two plates of Solid (ruld and warranted by special certificate. For sale by all Jewelers.

And the cultivation thereof bo- camc a great and mighty business in the earth; and the merchant men waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And it came to pass that the saints of the Most High defiled themselves therewith; even the poor who could not buy shoes, nor bread, nor hooks for their little ones, spent their money for it. And the Lord was greatly dis pleased therewith, and said : “Wherefore this waste ? and why do these little ones lack bread and shoes ami hooks ? Turn now your fields into corn and wheat; and put this evil tiling far from you; and be separate, and de file not yourselves any more ; and i will bless you and cause my face to shine on you.” But with ono accord they all exclaimed: “We can not cease from chewing, snuffing aud puf fing—we are slaves.” Advertising Pays. Atchison (Kan.) Patriot. It is sometimes questioned by merchants whether advertising pays. The qestion will hardly hear discussion m the light of the following facts, rates for transient advertising being figured: “The Chicago Tribune, it is said, for column ti year receives $26,000. The New York Herald receives for its lowest priced column $39, 828, and for its highest $348,000 The New York Tribune tor its lowest $29,704, and for its highest $85,048, and these papers arc nev er at loss for advertisements to fill their columns. Their patronage comes not from any desire to as sist the respective papers, but from business men who find it profitable to ‘advertise.’ ’ Notice: All persons are forewarned from hiring, harboring, or in any manner employing Howard Lawson, as he is under ago and in my control.
