Putnam Clothes-Wringer.

TESTIMONY OF MESSRS. JNO. W. WHEELER, of Cleveland, Ohio, and John C. Lefferts, of New York. PUTNAM MFG. Co.:

GENTLEMEN : I know from practical experience that iron well galvaizned with zinc will not oxidize and rust one particle. I can safely say, after several years experience in the manufacture of chain, for chain-pump and water drawers, in which I have tested the affinity of iron and zinc, that, if the process is conducted properly, it is a perfact weld of the two.

Nearly one year ago my family commenced using one of your Wringers. It now performs all of its functions as well as it did the first time it was used, and has become an indispensable article with us. I have closely observed several other kinds of clothes-wringers, the modus operandi being different, trying to produce the same results and the Putnam Wringer, but in my judgment they have failed. The Putnam Wringer is as near perfect as possible, and I can cheerfully recommend it to be the best in use.

Respectfully yours,   JOHN W. WHEELER. Many years experience in the galvanizing business enables me to indorse the above statement in all particulars.

HOYT'S HIAWATHA Hair Restorative. The standard preparation for the hair. Warranted in all cases to restore faded and gray hair and whiskers to their ORIGINAL color. It restores the natural shading of one hair with another, and thus gives a life appearance instead of the dull dead black of dyes, so that the most critical observer can not detect its use. It does not require previous soaping and washing, and hours for its application, nor does it stain the skin; but is as readily applied and easily wiped from the skin as any hair-dressing. It does not claim to make the hair come in when it has once fallen out; nothing will do that, whatever may be advertised to the contrary; but it will prevent it from falling out, make it soft and silky, and cleanse it and the scalp front all impurities and humors, and entirely over come the bad effects of previous use of preparations containing sulphur, sugar of lead, &c. HOYT'S IMPERIAL COLORING CREAM. An appropriate accompaniment to the Hiawatha; oils and colors the hair at the same time, and changes light and red hair to a beautiful brown or black. Sold everywhere.

Another Brilliant Contributor
TO
The New York Mercury.
Miss Harriet E. Prescott,

AUTHOR OF "AMBER GODS" AND OTHER POPULAR TALES,

whose works of fiction have placed her among the first in

The Front Rank
OF

American Novelists,

has been engaged to write for the LEADING FAMILY PAPER OF THE COUNTRY, and her initial contribution, entitled

Miss Devonshire,

will appear in THE NEW YORK MERCURY of March 19th, now ready everywhere at the News Depots.

Miss Harriet E. Prescott is the daughter of the great American historian, William H. Prescott, whose fame is as wide as the circle of civilization, and whose memory is cherished by his countrymen with a feeling of veneration accorded no other author, with the exception, perhaps, of Washington Irving. The daughter, like the father, has the gift off genius, and her stories in the " Atlantic Monthly Magazine" have added largely to the prestige and popularity of that able periodical, and she imparts to every subject upon which her powerful pen is employed a fascinating interest. To a mind richly stored with varied knowledge, she adds an imagination that is fetterless in its flights, though it never soars into the region of the impossible. Her latest production,

Miss Devonshire,

written expressly for THE NEW YORK MERCURY, is founded upon a striking and very peculiar incident of the war, portraying, with remarkable vivacity and brilliancy, the role played by the Belle Boyds and other sirens of the Rebellion, and verifying the old adage, that "Love rules the camp, the court, the grove."

The NEW YORK MERCURY is the sharpest and most brilliant of all the literary weeklies, and expends more money for eminent talent than any other paper. Terms of subscription, cash in advance, $2 to year; three copies $5; six copies $9 ; eight copies $12; with an extra one free to the clubber. Address CAULDWELL & WHITNEY, Publishers, 48 Ann and 113 Fulton Streets, New York City.

American, Swiss, and English Watches, in superior styles and quality of cases. Orders from the Trade or Army (large or small) promptly and faithfully attended to. Established 20 years.
