They have the following advantages over all
others They have no pads to keep in order :
no bobbims to wind; no tangling or waste of

The directions arc simple easily understood
and easily explained by the instructors. There
is no taking apart for cleaning or oiling. They
require about ten drops of oil per day, when in
constant use They make no more noise than
common clock when making fifteen hundred
stitches per minute. They run easv--a child
of ten years old can work them to fall speed
They run fast or slow, without any DANGER of

Important Shipment.

On Tuesday last, the ship LaDsoll, Of
Bath, Maine, sos tons register, j, 1. Watts,
master, cleared for New York direct with
a cargo Of yellow Cir spars, from the Puget
Mil Company at Teek0let She has on
board some one haDdEsJ END featg .ii,ll' .,I.
sticks, varying IN length from 60 70 ll8 net.
aud srom 20 to 80 inches diameter dressed
TO the partners , together with a sufficient
quantity Of deek-plank lumber and smaller
spars to make convenient aud safe stowage
This is an important shipment, being, we m
derstand, the first cargo OF spars shipped
from Puget Sound direct TO the Atlantic
States, and we doubt not it Is the inangnra-
tion Of q commerce between Washington
Territory and the East which the ship build
ers at its destination will find advantageous
to encourage. III is nowyery generally con-
eeded that the yellow ir Of this Sound is
superior to the spar timberof almost every
other part Of The world being stronger,
much lighter, and possessing peculiar te-
nacity Of fbre, or tonghness, the presence Of
which isascribed to the dryness Of our climate.
The outer portion, or sap, which is usually
discarded as worthless, Is in the yellow fr the
best portion Of the wood Naval architects
and other competent persons have pronoune-
ed i better for oil marine purposes than a
great proportion Of the oak and other wood
now generally thus devoted Amongst this
cargo is one stick Ito feet long, and 80
inches diameter, without the least knot or
blemish, as smooth, straight and beautiful as
a tree could grow.
In this connection we might remark that
aEessel is now loading at Seabcck, for Lon
don, with spsrs; and Capt. Stamp is daily
expecting two more for similar cargoes--one
for London and the other for Glasgow; the
latter cargo to be used as nasts for steam
ships. Let them go, and come, and 90
again; we can supply the world with spars
until ships impelled by sails are an obsolete
idea.--N North West. rs

from the 7th to the 10th day Of October,
1905, the river being at its lowest stage,
Their course on the KoOskooskia was SO
miles, and on the Snake 1894 miles. Com
pairing the difficulties they met with on the
Snake, with those they encountered on the
Columbia, from the month of the Snake to
the Dalles, they seem to be all of the same
general character, leaving but little or no
doubt Of the navigabilty of the Snake for
steamers to the mouth of the KoOSkoOskia,
and probably 60 miles above the mouth.
Mr.. LoughbOrough informs the st. LoniS
Convention, that, From Fort Wuila Wal
la to the mouth Of the Columbia, the pro-
posed route must descend Immediately
along the emigrant road, on hhe rircr bank
for some distance; but this is impossible,
for the river rises sixty feet IN The spring,
and submerges this road. If the river is
left, a mass of abrupt mountains present
themselves between the Wulla Wal!a and
John Days river, and again between the
latter and Fall river" (Des Chu'eS)
Below Fall river, the great Cascade
range passes up to the very waters of the
river, completely shutting it in. Fremont
says of the river: Entering among the
lower mountains Of the Cascade range,
high and steep rocky hills shut it in on
either side, rising abruptly to the height of
1900 feet above the water, and gradually
acquiring more mountainous character,
as the river approaches the Cascudes.-
Near The shore the river is bounded by
steep escarped hills and huge vertical rocks
from which the waters of the mountain
reach the river, in a variety of beautiful
falls several hundred feet in height"
This was no doubt an astounding fact for
the consideration of Che Convention, and
in their minds, settled the question as to
the possibility of carrying railroad west
ward from the Rocky Mountains to Puget
Sound. But unfortunately for Mr., Lough-
borough and his industry, ability and fdei-
ity, in preparing his report" this statement
as above, is simply without the least foun-
dation in fact; his emgrant road on the
river bank to the mouth Of the Columbia
having no existence, except in his immagi-
nation, which, (for his own credit as the
head of the St. Louis Bar at the time, and
at present Surveyor General of Missouri
and Illinois, should not have been quite so
vivid, as to imagine an cmigrant road along
river, which, in the next breath be tells
us, is shut in by the great Cascade range,
pressing up to its Usry Daters, with steep
rocky hills, and huge vertical rocks on eth
er side, rising abruptly to height Of 1900
feet, "from which the waters Of the noun
taius reach the river in a variety Of beautt
ful falls, sever-l hundred feet in height,
where a wagon wheel was never turned,
(though many attempts have been made, }
and where a solitary horseman finds it well
nigh impossible to toll his serpentine
course" Alter,burrying us beyond all re-
demption among these chasms, mountains,
escarped hills and huge vertical rocks, he
gives us a parting shock, by the startling
question:: "Is it not the extreme Of alb
surdity to dream of a railway here?"

IlIPoHTANr FROM MEXICO.

1t is stated that some private letters just
received at Washington from the city Of
Mexico express fears, Amounting almost to
certainty, that Spain is about to make a
descent on Mexico. Spanish authorities
declare that the American blnster about
the Monroe doctrine will amount to nothing,
and they will soon pnt it to the test. They
only await the arrival Of the Belgian Min
lister and Spanish feet, which is coming
to take Vera Cruz, to commence operations
in the interior. Taey claim that France
will back up Spain, and England will not
interfere. Spain, as being the next most
aggrieved party, will make the attack, and
they hold that after the rejection Of the
McLune treaty, the U. S. Government is
debarred from interfering to prevent other
nationalities from redressing their griev-
ances. Should the above fears be realized,
it is more than probable that the people Of
Mexico may fiad succor from au unexpect-
ed quarter. Il is rumored here that the
knights Of the Golden Circle, now moving
through Texas, ,-are on their way TO Mexi-
co, in anticipation of the invasion OF that
country by some European power In this
event, it is added, the Knights will be led
on to the rescue by old San Jacinto Hous-
ton, with the intention of carrying ont the
Monroe doctrine to the letter.

Great Fires in Texas.

THE GREAT FlREs IN TEXAS.

The following extract from the BOnhaN
Era, Texas, of the 18th July, reached here
on the Goth. The destructive and mysteri-
GUS fires that occurred throughout the
northern portion Of the State on the 9Th
inst, were a theme for speculation until to-
day. Some attributed their occurrence to
the spontaneous combustion Of prairie
matches, caused by the excessive heat Of
that day But the conviction seemed to
prevail that they were the result Of precon-
certed arrangements set on foot by aboli-
ton emissaries, who had heretofore been
expelled from the country. That this lat
ter position was correct is verified by the
subjoined letter from ,Dr. Prior, editor Of
the Dallas Herald:
