TIE WAY THE MONEY GoEs.-The
DoyleStown (Penn.) Democrat, OF late
date, published a letter from Beaufort,
South Carolina, written by the editor of
that journal, Colonel Davis, an officer of
the army, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
"There is large number of civilians
here, both men and women, mostly from
New England. Among these are numer-
Gus young ladies who opened schools for
the instruction OF the black children, but
with what success am unable to say.
Schools are established on all the neigh
boring islands. and the expenses paid by
the Government"
Expenses paid by the Government. T."
How liberal the Administration is to the
negroes and to New England Abolition
emiSsaries. Thousands Of dollars ri the
hard. earned treasure Of the people are
squandered by the party in power upol
the ernancipated slaves Of the SOUTH
Not content with liberating them, with
drenching the country with white blood
for their benefit, the Administration goes
a step further, and ruinouSIy taxes the
people to educate them! The establish
ment Of these schools for this purpose,
the Expenses Of which are paid by the
Government" is All outrage which should

enormously enough for Legitimate pur-

small portion Of the civilized world but TO render
the Sewing Machine art in the highest degree useful
! it is necessary:
i. To divest the ewing Machine Of every loose

g. It must be simple in It's construction through

adjusted.
s. 1t must be certain in its results.
4. 1t must be adapted to great range Of work ,
as most families can have but one machine for ali
kinds Of sewing.
s. II should be strong and durable In all Its parts.
The above and more we claim for the Little Giant
Family Sewing Machine. It Is an easy task to offer
| high sounding references and mentions-and still
easier to publish nonsensical medal talk Of hppant
and fattering stimonials-which is Of no earthly
service to the buyer since the poorest machines fur
nsh them In the greatest abundance, and that too OF
necessity, to conceal their lack of merit. The Little
Giant Family Sewing Machine has passed the Aery
ordeal OF all machines, both high and low, for the
past year. and the scrutiny Of the most skep
teal but has come out un scatIrsd and nov stands
before the public the BEST family sewing machine
in use. Cast of machines advertised daily for
low and nalf prices, which deemed worthless the
