Loyal Leaguers Of California to display

Let those who profess oil the loyalty in

rebellion crushed, join the army at once,
and thereby assist by deeds to crush it.

TIE inventors and makers Of the first Sew
ing Machines were looked upon and esteemed
~ visionary and impracticabe theorists. The
fact that machine could be made to sew, and
In q more beautiful, rapid and durable manner
than by hand, was beyond belief After a
protracted struggle against prejudice, a few
prominent and progressive manufacturers of
shoes, clothing, &C., were induced to make q
trial Of the "needle woman, with arm of STEEL
with results astonishing to themselves. In
time, the idea Of applying the same machine,
ln q more simple form, to the ordinary sewing
for family requirements was suggested; aud
sfter proper notifications aud improvements,
several prominent machines have come into
such general use, that in every portion of the
civilized world the click of the Sewing Machine
is heard as it merrly performs its allotted task
In relieving over-burdened woman of her nev-
er-endng sewing. And now we find that from
the coarser grades of sewing of the manufac-
turer and general sewing families, another
step has been taken in the application of Sew
ing Machines to the elegant and elaborate Or
n0mental work, which has met with uuprece-
dented approval both in Europe and America
70 such an extent that machine embroidery
and braiding is at once the most fashionable
and popular trimming of the season for ladies'
and children's garments. The "Grover &
Baker" is the only Machine, however, which
performs both branches of this exquisite work,

INTOLERANCE IN RHODE IsLAND.--A vote
was taken in this State lataly on pro,
posed amendment to the Constitution,
allowing adopted citizens TO vote in all
cases when they have served in the army
and been honorably discharged. As might
have been expected the Abolitionists de-
feated the proposition, for they do not
want the adopted citizens to have the
political rights which they contend should
be extended to negroes. Foreigners are
good enough to do the fighting, but they
must not be allowed the privilege of vo.
ting, say the Abolitionists. In the eyes
of AboitionistS, the vote of Rhode Island
proves, negroes are superior to foreigners.
