n elusive right to use Todd's Patent Steam
Feather Renavator, in this and several other
counties in Virginia, has had machine built
and put in operation by Mr.. George d. Lam
caster, in the house where said Lancaster
now resides. By the operation of this ma
chine, old Feathers that have been in use for
more than 20 years, are completely cleansed
(wlthout injury,) from every thing like dust,
moth, or unpleasant odour,and are so entirely
renovated and enlivened that they assume the
appearance of new feathers, and are increased
In bulk at least one-third, so that three beds
equally large may be made out Of the feathers
that two contained previous to renovating
them.-By the use of this machine the I'M
pleasant odour that attaches to new feathers is
entirely corrected without injuring them in
the slightest degree.
Persons DESTROYS Of having their feathers
clcansed and rendered pure and wholesome
will please call on Mr.. George ID. Lancaster
who will at all times be ready to perform the
operation on the shortest notice and in the
most perfect manner.

cy, Mr.. Senator (E) Smith, who sets himself
up to lecture the people upon morals and gov

tate himself upon his success. The reader
will reco]lect the humiliating confessions,
which Mr.. Rives extorted from him at Madi-
son G. H., in the face of the assembled peo-
ple-confessions, by which it appeared, that
he had made some $14 900 by disposing of d
Government Contract, and that he is now in
the regular, though secret pay of the Admin
istration, receiving quarterly for Contract,
which is not in his own name, enough spe-

son. In his speech on that day, he assaulted
Mr.. Rives' motives with his wonted coarse
mess, and charged him with abandoning the
Administration party for the sake of office,
sc. Mr.. Rives replied that this could not be
true, as most of the Offices in the gift of the
,present Executive had been rendered to, and
refused by him; and as to the Office of Sen
.ator, he had evidence on that point to vindi-
cate him, which the gentleman, (Mr. 81
would be the last to galnsay. He then pulled
out letter from Smith, written during the
session of 1892, saying to Mr.. Rives, if he
would come out for the Administration, or
would consent to be neutral, he (S.) would
ensure his reelection to the Senate! WING.
