"Thou wilt G* no Farther."
Translated from the Figaro.
There wa3 a man once whose name
was Chailemagne ; he saw once, in a
dream renewed from the Romans, an
immense Western Empire; he in-
vaded Spain and once thought to
conquer it. But the inhabitants of
Ronceveaur told him, in iheir lan-
guage: '*Thou wilt go no further!"
Tn«-re was once a man whose name
was Charles Qaint; he renewed
me dream of Charlemagne, and
thought himself once the mas'er of
the world. Between his Germany
and Spain, Fracce alone was left, and
be had. already opened bis wide hand
to seize it, when the French noble-
men surroundingiheir King rose in a
body and t< ld h'lm : "Thou wilt go

There, once a marf whose name
was Louis XIV; not satisfied wiib

Paris, Aug. 3.-^French journals

account of the Saarbruck aftair:
Metz, Aag 2 —Th& French troops
passed over the frontier.at 11 o'clock,
when theyinstantly encountered the
Prussians strongly posted on the
heights commanding . Saarbruck,
which was carried by a few battal
lions, arid the capture of the town in-
stantly followed, the artillery com-
pelled the Prussians to evacuate it in
great haste. Gen. Frossard with one
division defeated three divisions of
the enemy. The buildings in Saar-
btnek caught fire from the French ar-
tillery, and half of tbe town was de-
stroyed The mitrailleurs were used
for tbe first time, and are reported to
have worked wonders.
The Emperor on hie* return to Metz,
after the battle, sent tbe following

The National Watch Company, of Elgin-
now turning out over one handred finish,
ed watch movements daily, or, three ttaous*
and per montb —or thirty-six thousand per
annm—aud even at ttiis rate, so general is
the reputation of their watches for accurate
timekeeping, they are net able to fully sup-
ply the demand. It is expected that their
production this year will reach 50,000 move"
ments. Well may the question be asked,
what becomes of all the Watches?
Post-masters and other pers ns through-
out the country are in daily receipt of
speciously worded circulars from Oroide
Watch dealers in New York city, to invest,
or to act as agents, for some so-called cele-
brated Oroide Watcb. Our readers will save
themselves, and perhaps their friends, from
humbuggery in this matter, by remembering
that Oroide is simply a high sounding
word for brass, and that Oroide is brass—
only brass and nothing more. The Brass >s
tinctured with some preparation to prevent
its coloring, and is called Oroide, but the
vame per pound is the same as the original
brass. In a suit brought against a New
York firm, by the National WuUjh Company,
for advertising Elgin watches C. O. D.,
numerous Express agents throughout the
country made affidavit as to the worthless
character of most of the watches sold by
~ O. D. advertisements, and of the names
rousclaesof Oroide Watches sent out by
Express from New York. The Agent at
Madison, Wis., testified that "of all of that
class of Watches that had passed through
his hands, he had never known one to prove
worth a five dollar note, and that the
purchasers were invariably dissatisfied, and
considered themselves swindled." Other
A gents testifiied from practical observation
to the same etfect. In view of the light
thus throw upon tne Oroide Watch business,
we trust none of our readers may be taken
in by those circulars If a person is in
dined to bny a watch, let him go to a
dealer whom he knows, and can hold res-
ponsible, and buy a watch of known cbarac
ter and of value, such as those made at
Elgin, 111.,' Roxbury and Waltham, Mass.,
ana by the best Swiss makers; they are all
good, and will all last five times as long as
the Oroide watches. It certainly is a better
investment to pay twice as much, and get
a valuable article, than it is to pay out
money and have a piece of brass to show
lor it. Aug 3-dtw&wlm.

ihe WewfouuOlanQ Bitter has proved to be a sov-
ereign axent in curing loss, of appetite, dyspepsia,
gastralgia, niow, protracted, flatulent and painful di-

affords in cholics and cramps of the stomach, is in-

exist where it has been fairly used.
Through these physiological properties, the satis-

In one word, the Newfoundland Bitter is the best
stomachic that may be desired for home use. while m
the saloons and bar-rooms it is justly entitled to
Claim and assert a preference.
This statement in. not putfo th under the merely
ccndousgratification of the inventor acd compoun-
der. but it is borne out aho by the mo*t flattering
testimonial that daily come in. bringing proofs o f
eminent mcdicinal properties of the Newfoundland
Bitter. One Instance out of many, a lady still in the
bloom of life, assailed by the combined attacks of a
stubborn «astral«ia—an affection of the stomach—
and an incipient consumption, had lost all digestive
powers. Theyh d ceased to exert any influence on
even the lichtest food, while the patient was sinking
under the dally wasting of vigor and flesh, iler hus-
band, disheartened by the failure oi an other reme-
dial arts 10 check this exhaustion ot life, for a few
days administered to her the Newfoundland Hitter,
The success of this medication was as beneficially
rapid as it had been hardly expected. The appetite
returned—the digestive functions were pt ' irraed
without pain or difficulty, and strength, cw^r and
thriving health soon marked the radical change
Indeed it requires no peculiar knowledge of med
cine to be satisfied that the physiological influence o
the working* of tne stomach, in its normal condition
gives activity in nutrition, imparts regularity to the
process which assimilates food, and, lastly, gathers
richness for the life blood, in so much as it increases
the number of its globules. In hot countries, tbe
treat battle for organic Ufe is that wbich is waged
igainst the exhaustive aetion ot their climate against
tne paludai miasmata, which infuse their ptfton into
tbe blood, n j less than against the 'atal practice, in-
dulged in by too many, ot the ingestion at all hour*
of the day, of alouholic drinks into the atomach—a
most disastrous practice, which striking at all induV-
gers indiscriminately, burns out the m^ r'-" —: :.«
,pf constitutions. - all~ *t Jaauers ut in-
tellects. -Vow, ueeply stimulating drinks, so compar-
atively wholesome and seemingly indispensable In
cold latitudes, in order '.o excite and Heap np animal
heet, are in hot. moiBt lands, notoriously fatal to
health. In the latter latitudes, on the vontrary, il
we would protect that inestimable blessing, by every
means, we must moderate the organic combustion
aod enrloh the blood, which, in these climates, is ever
being thinned by over abundant perspiration. The
Newfoundland Bitter is beyond all comparison and
rivalry, the bittecnaest congenial.- and best calcula-
ted for hot c mntrles. It is tonic without exaUnient.
It imparts a wholesome activity to general nutrition
md purifies and enriches tbe blood.
All persons, thereton, with thin and imporei labed
blood—those who labor under chronic diseases—tba
valetudinarian and the dwellers of localities where
fevers crop out i , destructive intensity—travelers to
those sections where great thirst is aa inevitabe
companion, ought to be ever provided with the New-
foundland Bitter. Mo one that uses this generously
diSusive tonic but will proc'aim 1U conquering supe-
riority, and realize the truth of the aphorism ol Hlp-
pocrates Sanguis, moderator nervorum—'the blooa is
the controller of the nerves.
Another recommendation of the Newfoundlanut
ter is its efficacy in correcting a costive habit c.t >
body; lor it stirs «p the tonic virtues of the musci.lv
coatings of the intestines. It moderates fluxes and
diarrheas, through its stimulating influences, and, by
the spur-like aetioo which it exercises on the organ-
ism, in soliciting and inciting the appetite, It imparta
activity to the circulation of the Jver and of the
spleen, and rapidly removes tbe obstructions of tboee
organs, which are so common in b t latitudes ana so
battling to the best forms of m*dies+lon.
We do not knew that we can better sustain our in-
sertion than or the adducing of an instance c textra-
ordinary cure. Mr. L. B. C., ot the parish of Avoy
•lies, had been a martyr to a liver complaint of nine*
teen years standing, during which he ha# failed to
procure any substantial relief. His liver waa great"
enlarged, his complexion and his eyes were tinr
with a yellow hue,his legs were swollen and his nr
thick and of a mahogany color. All' appetite waa
fone. and the body reduoe-i to complete attenuation,
n this condition be used tbe Newfoundland Bitter
for the space of thirty days. Since then bis appetite
has returned, the 'iver has been reduced to a healthy
condition, tbe yellow bue of face and eyes has passed
away, urination is clear an natural, and the late suf
ferer revels in perfect health.
We earnestly invite all, the ailing and the hale,
who duly value the inestimable boon of apod health—
the mens sana in corpore sano—wno would In a sound
bo Jy enjoy a sound mind—to the dally use at this tru-
ly valuable means of repairing the failings of health,
or of maintaining its blessings. Let thoce' especially
who suffer from a diseased liver, or from unregulated
bowels, requiring a vigorous and efficacious tonic re*
member that tbe best stomachic, and the most heroic
tonic hitherto discovered, are most beneficially eom-
bUed in tne Newfoundland Bitter. .
