THE EVENING STAR. | SPEECHES Or Geszrat Grant.—We doubt ifany body ever heard or ever will hear Gen’! Grant “make a speech.” He is not one of that kind. But his deeds <perk forhim. Forsome days past he bas been in St. Louis on a visit to b & invariably bows acknowledgements and apologizes for his reticence. On Friday evening the General was honored by the enthusiastic populace a serenade. His appearance on the baicony was | ateeted with the most flattering cheers. In re- sponse to calls for 4 speech, he took off his hat — and amid profound silence, said: «Gentlemen—I thank you for this honor, I | cannot make aspeech. It is something I have never done, and never intend to do, and I beg ou will excuse me.” % Loud cheers followed this brief address, at the conclusion of which the Genrral replaced | his hat, took a cigar from his pocket, lit 1t, and stood on the balcony in the presence of the crowd, puffing his Havana and watching the rockets as they ascended and burstin theair. | “Speech! speech!” vociferated the malti- tude, and several gentlemen near him urged the General to sey something to satisfy the | eople, but he declined. Judge Lord, of the dd Court, appeared very enthusiastic, and, | placing his hand on Gen. Grants shoalder, | said: “Teil them that you can fight for them, | but can’t talk to them—do tell them that!” | «I must get some one else to say that for me,” | replied the General: butthe multitude continu- ing to cry out “speech! speech!’ he leaned over the railing, blew a wreath of smoke from his Jips, and said: «Gentlemen—Making speeches is not my | business. I never did it in my life, and never will. I thank yon, however, for your attend. unce here.” And with that the General retired. Subsequently a grand dinner was given to the General, and anotber effort made to draw bimout. While the President proposed a toast to his health, U. S. sat by his side serenely |. smoking. When he rose and stood upon the chair, a perfeet hurricane of- applause rose trom every part of the hall and prevented him from speaking till it had subsided. (.uiet being restored, General (rant merely remarked that he could not find words adequate to return thanks tor the compliment offered him, and would not make the a: .

It having come to our knowledge that imitations | of the American Watch have been pat upon the market in great numbers, calculated.by iheir utter ‘worthlessness, to injure the repttstion cf our | genuine products,—to protest our own interests and the public from imposition, we agen publish | the trade marks by which our Watclee may in- variably be known. We marufacture four styles of Wate ‘The Finer has the name “AMERICAN WATOEH CO., Weithim, Mass.” engraved on the inside plate, The sgoonp bas tke name “ APPLETON, TRAOY & 00., Wa)thsm, Mass.”” engraved on the inside plate. ‘The ruRp has the name | “P. 8, BARTLETT, Waltham, Mate.” engraved on the intide plate. All the above styles have the name American Watch Oo. painted on the dial, and are warranted in every respect. The rourtH has the name | “WM. ELLBRY, Boston, Mass."" engraved on | ‘the inside plate, and is not named on the dial. | All the above described Watches are made of various sizes, and are sold in geld and silver cases, as may be required. | It is hardly possible for us to accurately describe | the numerous imitations to which we have allu ded. They are usually inscribed with names so nearly approaching cur own as to escape the ob- | servation of the unaceastomed buyer, Bome are Fepresented as made by the ‘‘Union Watch Co., of Boston, Mass.”—no such company existing. 82me are named the ‘‘Boldier’s Watch.’’ to be sold as our Fourth or Wm. Ellery style, usually Known as the “Boldier’s Watch;” others are named the “Apple ton Watch Oo.;” others the “P. 8. Bart-Jey,” in- stead of our P. 8. Bartlett, besijes many varicties mamed in such a manner as to convey the ides that they are the veritable productions of the American ‘Watch Company. A little attention on the part of buyers will pro- tect them from gross imposition. ROBBINS & APPLETON, Agents for the American Watsh Company, ia 23-eolm 182 Broadway, New York. GAUTISBR.
