Is'lw YORK, August 15th, 1871. 
The successful negotiation of the new Government 
Ave per cent loan, and the calling in of $50,000,000 of 
Five-Twenties, to be paid in gold, show that hereafter 
from 5 to 4 per cent will be the highest rate of interest paid 
on the bonds of the United Status. ■ Hence, investors who 
desire a larger income with equal security, are withdraw- 
ing a part of their funds from Government bonds, and are 
seeking to place their money where it will be equally safe 
and more remunerative. Railroad bonds of the highest 
class are believed to oner the greatest advantages; and 
among the best of these arc the First Mortgage Gold 
Bonds of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railkoad, which 
promises to be one of the most remunerative, popular, 
and useful of the great through routes connecting the 
Mississippi Valley with the sea-board. The Company has 
no floating debt, and is under the management of men of 
well-known experience, character, ability, and wealth. 
It has already in operation 227 miles of road, well con- 
structed and doing a good business. In forty days, 95 
miles more will be opened, making 322 miles completed ; 
and as about 5.000 men are constantly at work upon it, 
the remaining 105 miles, which will complete the whole, 
are expected to be opeucd next summer. The road has 
low grades and light curves, which secure an economy of 
transportation expenses. It is considerably shorter than 
the great competing lines, passes through a rich agri- 
cultural and mineral district, the deposits of iron and 
coal being inexhaustible. The bonds arc an absolute 
thirty years' security, and if obtained in exchange for 
Five-twenties, the investor adds nearly 20 per cent to bis 
capital, besides retaining G per cent gold interest. 
Price, 92 and accrued interest from May 1st. The 
Bonds arc in denominations of $1,000, $500, and $100.

10 Reasons Why 
$290 
THE IMPROVED UNIVERSAL 
Is the BEST WRINGER. 
1st UEASO\.- It has I .o well's Patkxt Double Cogs 
on one end only of the shait. These cons have longer 
teeth, can play apart farther without diaeoanecting, 
can never crowd together ejo as to bind, never work 
sidewise out of place; wear more evenly and turn 
easier than any cog-wheel ever invented 
3d REASON.— It has the Patent Stop, widish keeps 
the Cogs from disconnecting and losing, their power. 
yet allows the rolls to play apart far enough to wring 
the largest article easily. 
3d REASON.— It has the Malleable Iron Folding 
Clamp, which, can not be broken, and fastens se- 
curely and easily to tubs of anv curve, and fits washing 
machines or stationary tubs of fully two inches in thick- 
ness, which no curved or ordinary clamp can do, and 
it folds under out of the way when not in use and for 
convenience in packing. 
Itli REASON.— It has the Folding Apron or Guide, 
to conduct the clothes safely over the side of the tub, 
free from contact with the clamp or screws. 
5tli REASON.— It has the peculiar advantage of Two 
Pressure Screws, so arranged with patent wooden 
springs, that each screw presses on both ends of the 
roll alike, the same as if it was in the center, while tin; 
two together give double the capacity for pressure. 
Otli REASON. -The Elastic Rubber between the 
strong wooden springs relieves their rigidity, makes 
the machine turn easier, saves the rolls from strain, 
and causes the pressure to bear on both ends of the 
roll alike. 
7tli REASON. — All its Ikon parts are wr.oiT.pT or 
malleable, not liable to break, and earefullv galvan- 
ized, to prevent rust. 
Stli REASON.— The Handle or Crank is not 
screwed on like other wringers, but roltkd or bivet- 
ki>, and will turn clothes backward or forward, or 
from one tub to another, without coming loose. 
Oth. REASON.— Its folding lower slat fits down to any 
stationary tub or washing machine, and prevents 
water slopping over, as it will with ordinary wringers. 
10th REASON.— It is very light and portable. 
yet built so substantially that the strongest person can 
not break it in wringing the largest garments. 
With all these Advantages, its price is no 
greater than that of any inferior wringer with cogs
