No thoughtful foreigner can regard it without a

Tx DoLLAR SEWING MACHINE-The triumphs Of
the inventive genius of the nineteenth century have
been heretofore for the most part nonopolized by the
male portion Of the race. The steam engine with its
Il strength and reckless energy belongs TO man the
mower and reaper saves the labor of masculine mus
eles. But woman's turn has come. The sewing
machine belongs properly to women's sphere and
,be rate at which 1t is coming into use, shows how
welcome an assistane it proves to be. We fancy that
the time when each hOusekeeper will have her sewing
machine, and save regularly lime OF the ten hours
she now gives to her needle, Is likely to arrive sooner
than that happy morning which the Hibernian gen.
,leman expected to live to see, d" when every man wud
be takin a ride before breakfast on his taykettle."
We confess that We were not inclined to believe
that any sewing machine which could be afforded for
ton dollars. could be good for anything but an ex-
animation of the Watson machine has removed our
doubts. Ii strikes us as a very valuable machine.
We do not see why it does not do its work as well as
any machine which makes the same stitch. and
tb6urh ether stitches may be more appropriate for
some kinds OF work it Is claimed that this is for general
flmily use at least as good as any The simplicity OF
the machine is remarkable, and it seems also TO be
strong and durable. We trust our citizens viii ex-
famine it for themselves The room in which 1t Is
exhibited Is appropriated exclusively to it, and
ladies who wish 20 look Mt it will find seats, and

W,LLosry, OR ARTIFICIAL WHALEBoSE-I1s MANI
FsCTURE-S0DIe time since, a paragraph appeared IN
the y. /. Post giving some account OF the invention IN
e. Germany Of 4 mole Of preparing n substitute for
whalebone, and the manufacture at the town Of Meis-
sen, in SaxOny, Of this substitute, called " wallosn,'
which was said to be in many respects superior to
the article which it initiates. A day or two after
the appearance of this paragraph, We received an in
vitatiOn to visit the establishment of Velleman, Salo-
man * Co, who have purchased the patent for
the United States, and recently commenced the
mlnulucture Of the walosin on a large sale

the mandatory, and the mOius OpeTGHdi of trans

coating or bark +. Th(l q done .s by the l,ss aid Of i agS ,%sn

~Mrce-pump IS applied, and continued in operation
MIL the pressure of the liquid upon the cylinder,

teen atmospheric pressuIes, or 30 pounds TO the
uare inch. 1t is then considered certain that the

The rattan has now changed its Band be-
me hardly distinguishable from the best quality of
