The Wheeler & Wilson sales are nearly
as many as the others combined.
These are the reasons:
lst The Inventor of the Wheeler & Will
son is genius who thoroughly understands
all the principles that govern machinery.
ID. He has experimental with his own in
ventions, and has tested the ideas of others
using that which is good and throwing aside
the bad, till the Wheeler & Wilson stands
alone-acknowledged BY all machiasts TO be
the most perfect sewing machine.
3D. The Wheeler & Wilson has no clap
trap fxin's about il. Il does not make four
different stitches. nor claim to dc any other
foolish impracticable thing.
4th. Experience has led to the conclusion
that CT the variety of stitches made By ma
chnery, the plain locx-stitch is the best,
lmore durable and handsomer.l
The WHEELER & WILSON makes this
stitch its alike on both sides the goods
does not rip or ravel, and requires less than
half the thread 10 form it,--that is used by
other stitches.
9Th. The entire motion of the machine is
rotary, so that the wear is scarcely percepti
bic, and the joints are all open, so that this
slight wear can be taken up.
Skill at frst-:hen experience--so az to
know what is needed for the great variety
of sewing in families. together with capital
and energy, have ali combined TO make the
WHEELER * WILSON the leading ma
chine in the world.
All Machines warranted three years;
instructions given at our Offices, free OF
charge; printed instructions accompany each
Machine.
ANY person of ordinary intelligence can,
in an hours time, get knowledge OIL the
Machine, so that, y, tk practice, they will
make good operators.
Call and examine then. or send fer cireu-

From nnh TO Wnrsn.

One feature of Senator Wilson's
new cohscription bill, provides that
when n substitute deserts, his place
shall be filed by the principal, either
by going himself or by another sub.
stitute.
The only just rule or sensible idea
there can he, touching this point, is
that when substitute has been ac
cepted, the principal shall be wholly
released under that call 1t is the
duty of the government to use suhl-
cicnt vigilance to prevent deserton
and secure the services of the substi
tute. This is the proper risk. The
Government has sole control over the
substitute, the principal none what
ever. The Government has duty
to perform, the principal has dis.
charged his when he has furnished an
acceptable and accepted substitute.
We will take this occasion to say
that there has been too much Of this
shifting of responsibility. The pres
ent is, as the President says, mainly
for deficiencies under the previous
call. These deficiencies resulted
mainly from inefllcicncy in admins
tcring the laws. The law was not
nor will ever be SELF Cooperative. 1t is
. the duty of the Government TO exc.
cute the law, to exhaust all means to
fill call before another is resorted
to. What assurance is there that
these deficiencies will not continue,
and thus call aftcr call and draft after
draft he the consequence Under
/, the former call, some sections may
not have done their duty. But we
think they are able to point to the
thousand cases of desertion, failure
to secure drafted men, and many 9TH
, er shortcomings in the administration
of the the law, for which according
to every principal of justice, the gov.
ernment, and nobody else, is rcspon
sible. If one hundred thousand men
have deserted, it is the fault of no
|, body but those charged with the
management Of the draft, and of the
drafted uien.

thus been reduced to one of dollars

The Atlantic Telegraph.

says that on the day previous, the

ern, commenced.
The total amount of rope required
to connect Valcntia with Balls Bav,
New Foundland, allowing for the
tslack," which must run out to pre-
vent too great strain on the cable,
is about two thousand three hundred
nautical, or nearly two thousand sew
en- hundred statute miles. With this
length liberal margin is given of
nearly six hundred statute miles of
rope for slack caused by currents,
possible rough weather, and the avoid
ancc of anv'hing like unusual strain
on the cable in the deepest water
Over one part of the route the depth
is rs great rs from two thousand to
two thousand five hundred fathoms,
or nearly three statute miles-a depth,
however, which is only considered of
moment in case of rough weather in
paving out, the mere strength of the
cable being so-cient to bear it's own
weight in eleven mites OF still water.
In this respect, as, indeed, in all 9th.
ers, the new cable has an enormous
superiority over the old and ill-used
rope which was first laid, and which,
to the amazem ent of all those who
knew its real condition, nevertheless
remand in fair working order for u
few days.
Nearly nine hundred miles of the
cable have alreudy been made, and
are beautifully coiled away in the
large tanks of the Telegraph Con
struction Company's works, lately
those OF Mcssrs. Glass e. Elliot. Fif-
teen hundred nautical miles have yet
to be manufactured to complete the
whole, exclusive of the shore ends,
which will be most massive, and in
length some thirty miles. The facto.
ry now turns out fourteen miles day
of completed rope, which in four
months time will give one thousand
three hundred and fifty miles, at tho
present rate of working, though, OF
course, as the days grow longer so in
proportion will the hours of labor.
The interior of The Great Eastern
is undergoing important alterations
to fit her for the duties as cable.
ship. The great object with such
ships is to get as few coils of cable as
possible-in fact, if possible, to have
it all in one. Large, however, as the
Great Eastern is, she could never
hold the Atlantic cable in one coil;
for, apart from its aweight, which is
five thousand tons, its bulk in one
mass would be gi3 i3antic--a coil fifty
eight feet in diameter and nearly six
ty feet high,
1t is disposed, therefore, in three
circular tanks--one att, one amidshir
and one forward. Each of these
tanks is of solid wrought iron, water
tight, built on what is called The thir.

differences which are not worth men,
tioning, all are as nearly as possible
alike in size--namely, fifty eight di
