Among the many improvements of our pros
porous city we are glad to notice the estab
iishment of first class ladies' restaurant, a
desideratum long required. 1t is situated on
Illinois street in the Island City Hotel block.
1t is tastefully and elegantly fitted up, aud
will doubtless become the fashionable resort
of the ladies and gentlemen of Rock Island
when desiring to partake of some delicious
ice cream or an oyster supper. Mrs. john
SOD comes to us with very high reputation
for ability and experience, and her cuisine
no doubt will be of the best. The opening is

Or INTEREST TO LADIEs.-Every
one regards the sewing machine as blessing
to women. It has been the saving Of much
toll, misery, and probably Of life itself. The
"Song of the Shirt" is now obsolete: the more
enlivening ballad, "The song Of tho Sewing
Machine" has taken its place. We had heard,
through our lady friends, Of machines that
would stitch, sew, hem, and Of ono that could
make o perfect button hole in . gorment. We
had supposed that perfection had almost been
reached, knowing that these instruments per-
formed ,all tho necessities in sewing. But it
seems they still had the "accomplichments"
to learn. We arc led 10 make these remarks,
having recently seen some ladies eloaks
claboraleiy embroidered with tho Grover s
Baker sewing machine. The work seemed 10
exceed anything executed by hand labor
wha. is most remarkable ab out this novelty
is, that the machine which executes this woD-
derful workmanship is the most perfec. in all
other respects-lhc embroidering quality be.
inc only, an addition 10 its many other nbili.
ties OF stitching, bemins, etc.--He~ York Home
