RAJ Our Machines make the "Doubie Loop
Stitch which is preferable for family use TO
the "Shuttle Stitch" or "Whceler & Wilson's
Stitch as it is sometimes called
l. Because it is stronger and more dura-
BILE.
2. Because its right or face sideis incom-
parably handsomer than that Of the lock stitch,
while the reverse is fully as handsome as the
reverse Of that.
s. Because it is elastic, yielding or giving
with the material sewea. The locks is
non elastic and non-yielding.
4. Because it is r4sT stitch and will not
rip, though ever fourth stitch is cut. The
lock stitch will rip if once broken.
5. Because, while it is fast stitch, it is
also susceptible Of being taken out with great
facility, in case it is required, as in altering
garments.
6. Our machines will run, gather, fell,
hem, tuck and embroider, and will do all that
other machines do.
Al! machines wnrrentcd, and kept in repair

OuR GUARDIAN BIRD IN AcrIoN-In let
ter dated Corinth, Oct. 18th, written by
Chester D. Howe. of Co. F, 10Th Illinois VOL
.unteers, is the following. Speaking Of the
recent fight at Corinth. he says:
: 9. The finest thing ever saw was live
American eagle. carried by the Sth Iowa, in
the place of flag. 1t would fly off over the
enemy during the hottest of the fight. then
would return. seat thimselfupon his pole. clap
his pinions. shake his head and and start
again. Many and hearty were the cheers
that arose from our lines as the old fellow
would sail around, first to the right, then to
the left, and always return to his post, re
gardless of the storm of leaden hail that was
flying around him. Something seemed to
tell US that that battle was to result in our
favor, and when the order was given to
charge. every man went at them with fixed
bayonets, and the enemy scattered in all d.
rect;ons. leaving us in possession of the ba..
tle-feld.''
