THE New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier writes:
"Thc latest invention is new washing
machine now in operation at the Astor House.
1t is called the great knnckc.' In the card
OF the owner it is stated that this new ma.
chine is saving from ten to fifteen girls Il day
in the wash room of the Astor House. A
rival-washing machine man at the Crystal
Palace offered cup valued at $50 TO any
person who could produce anything that
would beat his. The great knuckle washing,
machine MN will give cup valued at $500
to any one who will bring his machine to the
Astor House and wash dozen pieces while
he is washing three dozen! He says that
instead of using one pair of 'knucklcs, 'as
old Eve commenced WITH his machine is n
combination Of from 200 to 800. Great are
the merits of washing machines"

after much persuasion, prevailed upol her to take two
doses of Dr. MIane's Nermifuge. This medicine had
the effect of removing from her countless number Of

THF MONTGOMERY LoTrERY.-The Mo
bile correspondent Of the Montgomery (Ala)
Journal relates a rather curious tale about n
negro preacher in Mobile dreaming out pri-
yes from Swans Lottery. The following is
his account of the circumstances:
"The last drawing of the Southern Militia.
ry Academy Lottery has created profound
sensation among the colorcd population here.
One Of their number u reverend gentleman,
called Preacher Boiling, dreamed some six
weeks since that he was the fortunate holder
of a prize ticket. Encouraged by the dream,
he went next day to Boulemet's, and inves-
ted $3.50, and WAS rewarded by receiving
from the tickle goddess the comfortable sum
of 81 800 One would have thought him
content with this; but no! he determined to
try again, and purchasing the same number,
has singularly enough drawn this time : 3,
500, the half Of the capital prize. Whether
he will now retire and give others chance,
report s lys not.
