where, from experience, or lack of Judge.

such state that the interest of Others
depends upon his life; but he should
make all possible haste to extrica,e him.
self from such position. Honor and
honesty demand that he should so con.
ouct his business, that his death should
cause no one to be wronged. And n.
to dying, although all men everywbere
believe that all other men will .urel,.
die' yet they unite in thinking that ibey
themselves are exceptions 10 this rule.
or, at least, they act as if tLey tbopcI,t

To THE GROVER BAKER S. M. Co.-Gents :
Perhaps you may like to know how the Grover l.
Baker machines are doing in Cuba. We have twen-
ty-five of your machines in use, making govern
ment clothing for the army, and plantation sewing
which we have had in use about eighteen
months, and their performance has far exceeded
most sanguine expectations. We run the ma
chimes constantly by steam, at high rate ofspeed
and we find them to require but little repair-in-
deed, thew seem not to be worn at all. We have
tried both the Singer and Wheeler L. Wilson ma
chimes, but they have been long since laid aside in
the race. One thing are sure of-that the Gro
yer & Baker machine is the only machine for our
work. JOHN J. SLoCUM,
.Sup't of the Mdustra. Cabona, Havana.
