all trouble Of winding thread is avoided, while tho
same machine can be adapted Mt pleasure, by a
mere change Of spool. to all yarietisS of work.
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread,
and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
9th. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic
fabrc so that it is free from all liability to break
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
9th. The Stitch made by this machine is more
beautiful than any other made either by hand or
machine.

From the Scientific American.

STEAM-BoILER EXPLos1ONs.-MesSrs. Ed
tornS: -The recent explosions of our steam
boiler, throwing it to a distance of nearly hall
mile, has given rise to many speculations in
explanation of the cause. We need not resort
to any mysterious, undefinable explanation,
which is oftener preferred to the simple, reli-
able information most always at command.
There is no doubt in our minds that it was
the result of mere pressure of steam without
the means of escape. There is no evidence
that there was an inadequate supply of water.
Itdoubt1esss had its origin in undue pressure
from progressive accumulation of steam of
great pressure and density rapidly rising to a
Isi sl4e ssloey valve ItIUpcTrr,t at tue rrItId
as 1t has since been ascertained.
The safety valve had become so out of or
der that it would leak under low pressure !;
the engineer had fastened it down with a hook
SO arranged that (he supposedly it would
yleiu under pressure within the strength of
the boiler Similar causes, if subsequently
known, would no doubt explain nine-tenths of
all the explosions that take place, which. if
unexplained, often lead the mind of persons
away from the true source of the evil. and
thus produce carelessness or indifference in the
care of boilers.
We are happy to say that some of our men
who were injured have been out, and the 9TH
ers we trust will be at their work in a week or
two. We are again in operation with a set Of
new boilers manufactured by Messrs. Rice &
Goddard, of this city, of new construction
of extraordinary promise both for safety and
economy of fuel. IcHABoD WAsHBURN.

The letter OF our correspondent corrobo-
rates In clear and candid manner the views
which we expressed on the subject, and we
are much obliged to Mr.. Washburn for giving
such correct and timely version of the acct
dent. In recent number of our able cotem-
porary-the London Engineer-Mr Desmod
q. Fitzgerald discusses the electricity theory
OF steam boiler explosions in a very scientific
and able manner, and he expresses opinions
very similar to those which we published on

POLITICAL.

The Democrats in Western Massachusetts,
are quietly selecting their delegates to the
State Convention. In Pittsfield the list is
headed by Henry II. Childs, Thomas +. Plum
kett, and Phinehas Allen, Jr., followed by
twelve others. Lenox sends Hon. Henry w
Bishop, Chas. A. Dewey, and several others.
A correspondent of the National Intelligent
Ger recommends that national convention of
the Wings of the United States be held on the
4th of July next, at Richmond, Baltimore, or
Philadelphia, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Offices Of President and Vice
President of the United States, or, if separate
nominations be deemed inexpedient, for the
purpose of selecting among the candidates al
ready in the field such as may be most eligible
to a majority Of the party.
The Washington States announces that
self-constituted committee of old line whips in
New York have issued a secret circular to
those party leaders who cannot see their way
clearly into the Democratic ranks proposing a
convention early next year for the purpose of
making nominations independent of both par
ties. They expect by carrying Maryland and
Tennessee to throw the election into the
House of Representatives. The circular was
issued three weeks ago. and already the Oppo.
sition in one or two Southern States are said
to have responded favorably, and sent their
agents to New York to watch the current.

STATE ENcAMPMENT.-In contemplation of
rush over Fitchburg & Boston road, to the
encampment, the company have laid down
two thousand feet of extra track, and are pre-
pairing about as much more at Loring's Cross

over the road free of charge, the Fitchburg
Company will give them two thousand dollars
In cash. This money conveniently supplies
the forage to the cavalry, and the straw to the
foot companies. The estimate under this head
are as follows: Six hundred bushels of oats,
IA bushel to every charger y thirty five tons Of
prime hay, and forty-five tons of straw, on
which the rigor of war, and the preparatory
tented field, oblige the soldier, with his horse
