ANoTHEa NOVELTY Some gentleman "away

machine for bottomng SHOES. The machine
carries . waxed thread, made from any number
Of strands Of twisted shoe thread, and stitches
the seles and yamps firmly together, through
and through" the outside seam being closed
up in q channel, and the inside stitch drawn
firmly to the inner sole. BY this process the
welt 10 dispensed with, and though one or more
outer soles are used, the seam cannot pull out,
but 10 close and 6rn as if pegged ON last
This machine is said to sew . shoe quicker than
it can De pegged, and makes the work more
even and elastic than common double seam

and the useful arts seem to be progressing RAJ

The strike of the employees Of the Sc Louis,
Alton Chicago Railroad 10 beginning to as
sumo . serious character. Az near % We can
learn, the ''strike," which 10 not for higher
wages, but for past arrears, running through
several months, commenced on Monday, almost
simultaneously the whole length of the line.-
The train which left this city on Monday morn
ing, was run by the yard master as far a. Jo-
llet, when crowd Of the operatives, some sixty
IN number, took posseesion Of the train, and
elected the yard master from the engine. The
locomotive was then disconnected and the train
backed up against freight train. After being
delayed until four o'clock. the train was allowed
to return to Chicago. The excitement at this
point was intense. On the telegraphic bulletis
in the depot, was written in large letters "so
trai" Nsrth; engineers struck for their bread and
0Mtter." Many OF the operatives are in FAM
ishing condition, having received no pay for
number of mOnths
In the towns on the line Of the road between
Joliet and Bloomington, the effects are more
keenly felt. There is no connecting line at
these points and consequently they can receive
no mails. There are NO expresses running and
tue farmers can receive NO remittances, and
they are out Of money, out of provisions and
out Of everything.
At Bloomington, the hands employed in the
shops and about the depot, refused to work.
A meeting Of the employees was held on Sat-
urday evening last. A number OF speeches
we're made bv employees and outsiders, de-
handing payment Of ell arrearages of wages a.
q prerequisite to resuming work. Propositions
and counter propositions had been submitted
but NO agreement had been effected up to last
advices.
At Springfield, it is runored that the opera
tives are greatly incensed against Gov. Matte.
son and have manifested their indignation BY
breaking windows in his residence. We sim
cerely deprecats any such manifestation %
this as it only Injuries their own cause.
At Peoria the same excitement prevails
Some of the employees claims amount to sever
al hundred dollars, and they claim that they
have been fed with promises long enough. No
injury had been done at that point, except
breaking the telegraph wire, thus cutting of all
It will readily be seen that affairs are in
critical state, and that something must be done
to relieve not only the ''hands," but also the
interior towns which are suffering from the
stoppages Of trains. We understand that Gov.
Matteson offered to let the operatives take the
road as receivers and rua it, but they refused.
Negotiations are still pending, but We have
learned of no decided action being taken up to
this time.-lC Chicago Journal.
