of anything 70 improve upon it; but
the change came. and sewing machine
was invented, first in Europe, where,
because Of numerous impcrfections it
never obtained to general use, as here,
where now no household IL considered
complete without. it. From the date
Of its first introduction in America, inn
provements upon improvements have
been made upon it, till at last perfect
and beautiful machine was gotten up
by Lada, Webster d Co., in Boston,
embracing Improvements upon all the
good points of its predecessors, while
avoiding their faults-the result being
something SO desirable that no family
will long be without it when once made

RAILROADS IN THE UNITED STATES
The .. s. Economist says :-"Within
. aperiod Of thirty years we have invest
ed nearly 1920 millions Of dollars in
tracking our country with railroads.
and adds-"This is an astounding
achievment, especially considering the
fact that capital has been pressingly
demanded by the rapid aevslopement
Of . new and fertile country" A table
in the railroad Journal shows that in
1882 there were only l31 miles in op-
Grafton. Ten years later, in ls42s there
were 1887 miles. Another decade,
1852, and we find the aggregate has
become 1o,s7s miles and here we are
at the dawn of 1861, with 31,179 miles
Of railroad in operation-more by over
5000 miles than the aggregate mileage
Of Great Britain, France, Austria and
Prussia combined.

The fourth article of the Crittenden
amendment secures the right Of transit
for slave merchandise through the free
States. The intention and effect o1
this provision is to,familiarize the North
with slavery, and compel the people OF
the North to enforce the barbarous
slave code, by which men are held in bon
dage. Under its operations, the city
Of New York will become the most ex-
tensive depot of slaves in the universe.
Slave commission houses and slave pens
would flourish there under the protec-
tion of the Constitution Of the United
States.
