Several wholly new stem-winding Watches have boen produced, and great improvements have ‘been effactod in the manufacture of all variety ot their Standard Watches, until now they include overy mse,in both key and stem winding, that oan be desired, of every quality and of every price. At the same timenew inven- tions in machinery, and other large econo- mies, have cheapened the cost, so that at prosent it is not too much to olaim that tho ‘Waltham Watches are the best and cheapest watches in the world, These claims are, in faot, almost overywhers admitted. In this country it is & matter of fact that hardly any fine Amerioan ‘Watches are sold but those of tho Walthaxi meke, while orders aro now rogularly received from England, Australia, and the British Possessions gencrally, and foreign countriea are abandoning the hand- msde productions of Bwitserland and Elog- land, and eagerly adopting Amerjcan ma- chine-made Waltham" watches in their place, 2 Buyars of silver watches should be oareful ta obaerve the stamp of tha Company on the ‘case, a3 woll as on the movement, as the ‘Waltham Watoh movements are frequently put into cases which are inferior both in quality of metal and workmanship, For salo by all the leading jewelera. * Positively No Watches Sold at Retail.

'WHAY MAY BE EXPECTED OF THE NEXT BESSION 5y ‘or conanEeg,- ¢ : - ' Bpecial Dispatch to T'he Chicago Tribune, s - WasuxoTon, D. 0., Oct. 20.—It is alrondy ap- paront that, from the beginoing of the next ses- mon of Congreas, there will be a tedious and usc- lote tinkering at the- currency from this staud- polnt: It appears that there are nearly ns many Congresamon who feel that they aro especially raiscd up to eolve an assymed problem in finan- ©ces, a8 tha thero wore st tho opening of the last session. They assume that thero is & nocoesity for ¢urrency loglisiation, and yot they nearly all confess that it in requisite menely to dofine party lines. Thoy aro filled with tho vain hope of rec- onciling thé factions ir each party upon 'BOME PARTICULAR THEORY, #0 that the two orgauizations may confront each other hercafter with no division upou this. ques- tian, Of course notbiog of the aoct {8 posaible, and tho Lime spont in agitating tho matter will bé’ morely time wasted, which might much betier bo devoted to tranescting the nocessary business of the sosston, which . all muat be dono in about sixty days. ' Tho moderato man, Who cannot 800 ‘what good ean come_of wrangling over tho cur- roncy, and who beliove that nm.hfing practical or of utility can .be accomplished, are so few in numbers that their efforts against frittering j:l;ny the time of the sossion will not avail any- g, 5 THE EPFEOTS OF THE OURRENOY DILL adopted Jaet seasion have not boen eo groat, either good or bad, as to materially change'the sspect of business affairs, which, say the mod- erato men, are gradually adjusting thomsolver, and wli, if let slono, bring about an ors of sound prosperity to the country so that, while the law of last June was uonoceseary logisla— tion, it was not hurtfal, aud there ia now no reason for its ropesl or alteration. Noither the President nor tho Secretary of tho Treasury . WILL BECOMMEND ANY VITAL CUANgE in existiug laws, although it is oxpected that the former will urgo in a genoral way tho advisability of returning to specio psyment at an oarly day. e THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. ADDITIONAL ¥AGILITIES NEEOED, Bpeaial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘Wasunvarox, D, 0., Nov. 20,—The projeat for anew building for the socommodation of the (Congressional Library will be pushed with groat cnergy at tho noxt session, and it will bo opposed with the greatest vigor by those who ara in favor of building an addition to the present facilitios in tho Cspitol Billslng. Theso lattor ‘propose to oxtond the oast frout of the Oapitol some 200 feof, which will _Bive facilitios for tho arrangomont and storago of books that will last, Livrarian Spofford soys, sbout twenty years at tho prosent rate of in- Tho cost will be between §2,000,000 and ,000,000. The proposition for a soparato building contemplatos tho erection of such a structure on Judicisry Squarg, which is much noarer the centre of population than the Capitol, and consequently much mora conveniout for the magses, This is to cost not wmoro than 98,000,000, and will sorve tho purpose, sccording to Ar. Spofford's erxsimates, for about 1U0 yeats before any wings or-additions will need to be made. Ic | 18 not proposed, if & soparato building is con- structod, to romove the eutire library from the Capitol, where about 50,000 volumes, most likoly to be needed by Congreus for purposes 88 rofor- once, will be kept for that use. A chango of somo sort must bo made soon, 88 the present Iacilities are juadoquate, and the lack of room is felt more and more every day. Thers are now about 40,000 volumes &ned in heapa on the library floor, because tho shelves are already filled. J RO~ AGRICULTURE, ANNUAL BEPORT OF THF COMMISSIONER. The Hon. Frederick Watts, Commissionor of Agricnlture, in hls ‘anoual roport saya: “There 18 no incident which so eripples tho operations of this Dopartment as the want of the punotual publication of ite annual report. For the last two yoars it has not boen publishod. Whilo Congroes, ot tho last sossion, apparontly ‘mado the effort to order the publication of the annual reports of 1872 and 1873, for tho uso of Congress, it 2ailed, in the opinion of the Publio ‘Printer, to obtain its object. Whilo the Com- |’ maigsioner does not conour in this oplnfon, it is due to him to say that to print thom {nvolved a doubtful conatruction of tho law, & responeibility “he was uawilling to take, and theroforo the ro- .poria for the usn of tho mombore of Congress <have not been printed. But by the soparate pro- ‘yision of the act, there wasan appropriation speclally for tho printiog of tho roports of 1872 and 1873, Theso have boou printed and doliv- rod to tho Dopartment for distribution.” ‘Tho Commissioner ssys hie cannot be unmind- ful of tho approaching Centennlnl of tho indo- pendence of the Udited States.
