FAMILY sEWINGMACHINE
Now in use irrcspcctive Of Price.

Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST & WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. It's simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles
This is great desideratum andin this VIC claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by a larger
one, instead of to the long arm Of a lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short ono.
The lattor arrangement necessarily makes the
motion Of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and dircetncss.
3D.. The great power and directness Of tho
motion enables US to sew all fabrics, from gsuze
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and tho Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses, from sheet of paper
TO heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, It
will permit the seam to be turned mt right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, tnus pues Hcciy tho "o"''-
est garments, bed-quilts, &C., and IL will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
5th. The Machine will do greater variety
Of work than can be done by any other stitch.
IL will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
ERR and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
n similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the .fnishing cord as neatly as ours, IA

WOMEN AND HoME.-We clip the following
from an exchange, without knowing its ori-
gin:
Heaven did not intend women to be the in
mates of boarding houses They are out Of
their element in all such abiding places
There are erratic exceptions to the general
rule, but the true sphere of really womanly
woman is her own home-her true Emission"
to make her husband and children happy
Her heart, more than her head, marshals
her the way that she should GO Her af
fections, her Eifsly and motherly love, in
struct her intellect, sharpen her perceptions,
and give force. energy and precision to her
plans and purposes. Such woman prateth
not of her sex's rights-mourneth not over its
wrongs. She attends no conventions, covets
not the double barreled garment, demands
not a seat on the bench, post in the State
or vote through the ballot box. Content
with the position assigned to woman by the
Almighty at the creation, and which the
prophets, patriarahs. apostles, and the Sa-
vionr himself, have declared to be the most
meet and seemly for the weaker vessel,
the good wife never attempts to overstep the
limits of her appropriate sphere, but makes
that sphere charmed circle, within which
the husband and father is disburdened of his
business cares, and enjoys a fullness ofplacid
happiness which the outside world can nei-
ther give nor take away. Fortunate is he
who hath such woman to wife: for she not
only shall smooth the roughness Of his earth
ly journey, but lead him gently by the hand
toward Heaven"

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AT Moscow In
teresting accounts come to US from Moscow,
of the enthusiastic reception there of Alexan-
der Ii. A characteristic ceremony took place
at the instance of number of serfs-work
men in the factories-who had been liberated
by the recent decree. They presented the
Emperor with bread and salt on a gold plate,
and delivered it with an address noticeable
for its brevity. 1t reads as follows:
g Gracious Sovereign and Liberating Fa-
Mer: We thank thee for thy signal benefits
to US, Night and day we pray for thee; our
wives, our children, our grandchildren and
our great grandchildren will pray for thee,
May the God of mercy preserve thee and give
thee strength and irmness to achieve thy
loving work. SO that all ting children and sub
jects confded to thAs by God may bless thy
name in future generations, even as we now
bless the name of our liberating tather.'
The plate of bread and salt was presented
to the Gar by an old serf of about seventy
years of age, who told the monarch he ''was
on earth what God was in Heaven" The
ceremony took place in the courtyard of the
kremlin, and the people afterwards begged
permission to see their mother, " as they
term the Empress. She responded to the call
by appearing on the balcony.

A MILLION OF MES.-A Washington cor
respondent remarks that, by some process of
shrewd engineering, two volunteer bills in
stead of one have been passed by Congress.
By each of them the President is authorized
to accept the sGryices of 500, 600 nlaa foa the
war One of the bills is supplemental TO the
other, and after referring to it, and to the
forces it provides, gives the President power
to call out, in addition to the troops now
authorized by law" 800, 600 more troops
Thus the President has power to call into the
field million of men. A member of the
Cabinet remarked that it was much to be
hoped that there would be no necessity for
bringing into the field more than the half
million Of men provided fos in the first bill
but thaa if it proved otherwise, # the war
should prove a long one, the Administration
would not hesitate to call out the other half
million, and even to ask for more if it should
be necessary.

VOLCANO On THE SOUTHERN DEsERr.-The
Los Angeles Star is informed by q person
from the vicinity of Coso. that he discoEered
an active volcano on the desert which was
pouring forth straan CT hot sulphur
There is no distinct crater. though almost an
infinite number of pipes. probably 10000
Hot steam ana sulphur are discharged. the
latter of which, congealing. forms the pure
birthstone of commerce. Alum is also found
pure and in grest abundance. 1t appears
that as the sulphur eongeals it throws out a
coating of alum, the birthstone forming
around the fues. These sulphur springs
cover about two acres of ground. They are
situated on the side of volcanic Hill. about
800 feet above the level Of the plain-20 miles
south of Coso, and fifteen miles northeast of
Little Ovens Lake. By fastening yeast
powder bog to willow pole, they dipped up
the boiling sulphur. The steam issuing from
the pipes is SO hot as to Immediately blister
the hand by coming in contact with it. The
ground is generally so soft and hot that
planks have to be used in or lssing it.

Surgery of the Battlefield.

When march is ordered, the surgeon ol
the detachment who are to go, is notified OF
the number of men, and Immediately makes
his requisition for supplies, medicines, lint,
bandages, hgatures, spunges, DC. Llgatures
are supplied with medicines.
In this country, the medical stores are
kept in the baggage wagon following in the
train. Elsewhere, the manner of keeping
them varies. The surgeon himself has only
what he can carry with ease upon ais person,
simple dressing, q pocket case Of instru-
ments, and always canteen of wine or IL
Quor.
Field Hospitals. the field, a field hos
pital is established by the surgeon, With
us this is generally a hospital tent. but if
practicable, a building is used-a barn, if
nothing better can be procured. Often the
dressing is carried on in the open air. The
subordinate Surgeons adhere to their regi-
ments, and the others are stationed on the
field or at the hospital.
The wounded are conveyed to the hospital,
the road to which is marked by Fed flags,
yellow being the kind formerly used. The
surgeons remain in the rsar, and have the
use Of the musicians and the hospital assist
ants. In our army one of the soldiers in
each company C .rries knapsaek containing g
surgical instruments. In the British service
a mule carries two large knapsacks on either
side, and set of boxes with drawers, which
may be used as dressing table. In the
French service, ambulances, or spring wa
gons, introduced by Percy, and improved by
Larry, are made use of.
Effect of Wounds.-The first effect of a
wound is what is called the " "shock" A
trihing wound will suffice to produce Sc
we're shock, the soldier falling, growing pale,
cold, and perspiration hardly perceptible.-
Nor has this effect any connection with the
physical courage of the person. The remedy
ior this shock is found by giving stimulants,
at once.
Often it happens that the wounded are
obliged to be left on the field for three or foul
days without their wounds being dressed In
any way. In such cases it becomes the sur
geon's duty to seek them out for his aid
These often do better than those brought into
the hospital At the battle of Solferino, 90,
900 wounded about the head and shoulders,
walked to the hospitals.
The largest estimate that need ever be
made for the disabled and killed of an army,
is three per cent while on march, and ten per
cent. in battle. 1t is hard to understand how,
with all the improved implements of war, and
drill and discipline of troops, more are not
certain per centage have been killed. the bat
tie is ended. No bodies of men ever rush
against each other and cross their bayonets.
Bayonet wounds occur after battle, and in
pursuit.
