A keen sewing machinist in another city solves
that very puxzlng milk in the cocoa-nut problem
the sustained high prices of cotton in the face of ad
yerse influences, By attributing 1t to the sewing ma
chine invention, which enables the world to sew up
the crop faster than Of old thus raising the price

plausible enough to render it an unmistakable orna-
meut to the rhetoric Of q sewing machine circular.

Of the New York Legislature has attempted to

tality excluding editors from the privileges of the
statute under which they can prosecute assaants for
assault and battery Tie BILL then, is nothing more
than license for editors to libel holders with
out fear of consequences, and to office holders to
thrash editors without fear Of consequences, "pro
yiding that killing or manning be not perpetrated"
The BILL in fact contemplates turning the two classes
| loose upon each other without legal accountability
for injury they may do to each others characters
and persons-so that "killing or manning be not
perpetrated that is Illegal under the BILL which,
however, allows an ofice-holder to beat an editor
within an inch Of his life If it is considered that he has
libeled him badly enough to deserve it.
We rather like this new arrangement and would be
glad to see 1t instituted in this part Of the world for
not being Of the rabidly valorous, "pching in class
Of editors it would not directly affect us, while we
should have all the entertainment Of being dsinter
esed spectator of the niseres Of certain brothers Of
the quill, who would Immediately come in for all the
privileges" of the law. We know Of several Office
holders who would lose not an hours time after the
passage Of the act ere they marched directly to the
sanctums Of several editors we could name and
began to exercise with cowhdes and hckories all the
privileges guaranteed them under 1t.
