MACHINES,
4 jep Of the many reasons why these Sewing

4 .jcp Of the many reasons why these Sewing
Mdchnes are preferred aJore all others.
!. They are remarkably simple in their con-
struction. A child operate them, and
understand the mechanism.
2. They are the strongest Sewing Machine
made. 1t is almost impossible to break or get
them out of order.
3. They are sure in their operation; finishing
the work in a uniformly perfect manner.
4. They make tight iock-sHtch, alike on both
sides of the work, which cannot be unraveiled.
3. They Stach, hem, bind fell, run, and gather,
wahout 6dsting.
6. They sew equally well the lightsst and the
heaviest fabrics.
7. They sew over the heaviest seams without
changing the tension or breaking the finest
thread
8. They use any No. of Cotton, Thread, or
Silk, directly from the spool.
8. They use a straight needle; curved ones
are liable to break.
10. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work
IL. They have a pheel feed, none others are
in constant contact with the work
IL. They run easily and almost noiseLsS.
Is. They are not liable to oil the dress of the
IA. They do not require screw driver to set
the needle.
10. They do not have to be taken apart to oil
or clean.
l6. They do not form ridges on the under side
of the work, nor ravel out nor are they waste
full of thread, as is the case with all chdin-shtch
machines.
II. They are capable of doing greater range
of work, and in a more perfect manner, than any
other Sewing Machine, as is proved by the result

RowpYIsm-A LADY INsULTED AND Snor AT.--Our Memphis exchanges of the 3lst ult., bring intelligence of the most dastardly and outrageous conduct on the part of a gang of scoundrels in the suburbs of that city. The williams attacked the garden grounds of Rev. Samuel Watson, destroying everything in their reach.- Several shots were fired at an old negro on the premises, and also at Mrs. Watson. who, ins fear of her life, escaped to the house. The .4ualanche takes ground in favor of Vigilance Committee, and main tains that Memphis cannot otherwise rid herself of thieves, house burners and scoun- drels of the deepest dye. The party that attacked MT. W's premises was composed of some twenty-five or thirty. If such exemplary men as Rev. Samuel Watson are to be thus attacked, and his wife and servant assaulted, il is full time that the community should become aroused. Will the people of Memphis, for once, do their duty-search out these miscreants and and deal out to them individually and col lectively, the chastisement they deserve 2

 PERSONAL US. PARTY NOMINATIONS FOR THE PREsIDENcy.-Of the candi- dates in the field for the next Presidency says the New York Herald. only two rep resent living party organizations. MT. Douglas stands at the head of a ragged and broken column, Mir. Bell was nomi- mated by Convention of fossil Wings and broken down Know Nothing politi- cians; Sam Houston's army is of the Fal- staffian order, and so on through the list, up to Breckinridge and Lincoln. both of whom are backed by powerful party organizations, and have certain amount of definite support. That Lincoln will carry the bulk of the electoral vote North is beyond peradventure. That Breckin- ridge will be equally strong in the South admits of no reasonable doubt. The other candidates are all personal representa- tives of cliques, and have no strength be- yond the support of their immediate friends. Choose, then, between Breckinridge and Lincoln.
