N0TICE.-The Model Sewing Nh
chine.
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
Prominent among the mechanical triumphs Of
this most ingenious age, common honesty compes
US to notice the Empire Sewing Machine. COM
mended as justly styled perfection itself Useful
as have been the various sewing machines, from
time to time presented to the public, each one of
them has been cursed with some radical defect,
which detracts from general utility. Warned by
the experience of his predecessors the inventor of
the Empire Machine has produced an instrument,
combining all the advantages for which others are
vaunted, and obviating every defect which can be
attributed to them by the most fastdious critic.
The Empire Machine is marvellous combina-
ton of simplicity, economy and perfect workman
ship, being durable, free from liability to get out
of order, noiseless, and easy Of operation. Its
mechanical continuance is such as to secure sta
bility, freedom from accident, and accuracy as to
workmanship. BY the use OF the patented shuttle
and straight needle. it makes stitch, which can
neither rip nor ravel, while, at the same time, it
can operate perfectly upon every species Of mater
al from leather to cambria. with threads Of cotton
linen or silk, from the finest to the ooarsest mem
Der.
As the Empire Machine is gradually suppanting
its more antique rivals, no one in want of useful
instrument of this description, be he or she tailor
coachmaker. dressmaker or seamstress, can do
otherwise than secure one of these economical and
inimitabe machines. suited alike for family and
manufacturing purposes. The Office Of the EN-
pire Manufacturing Co. is at No. $40 Broadway,
New York City, where they are now supplying
these Empire Machines at prices far below the
real value Of the instruments.

Lecture by General Howard.


BosToN Feb. l-General 0. 0. Howard lectured in
Music Hall tonight under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Governor Bullock presided, and introduced the
General IN an eloquent address. The General was
received with great enthusiasm, and said we had a
difficult problem to solve. We had the examples of
England and France before u.s. but our situation diff
tered from theirs, inasmuch as we had given a new
birth to freedom under the worst auspices. The
South was conquered but they let slavery go piece
by piece, and, general rule would not give it up
until forced to do so by liberty.
The question in their minds was how to keep the
negroes down and prevent them from assuming their
rights. The opinions of prejudiced minds then
reviewed. There was a thinking class in the South
who believed the freedmen should be educated, and
another class of higher culture, not large one how
ever, who had changed their views and now adyu-
Gated free labor.
Time and patience were required to improve the
negro and correct false impressions. Slavery was
nominally dead, and we should so regulate our public
affairs that the inaenable rights of life liberty and
the pursuit of happiness might be secured to ALL
The condition of the South at the time of the for
nation of the Freedmen's Bureau was then con-
sidered, and the state of chaos into which the people
and their affairs were thrown.
If we could hold steady hand and have the neces-
sary help, there would be more need of Govern
mont agency at the South in five years, than there is
now need of one in Ohio. The demand for capital
and labor in the South was increasing, and every
thing was springing into new life. The majority of
the negroes were at work. and one year would pre-
sent more favorable aspect. and five years would
place us upon the road to material prosperity.
In the South there 10000 coored children at
tending schools, besides many not reported. In ad
dressing the colored people he had always commenced
BY telling them that they free, and their Joy was
indescribable.
1t was the purpose of our President and Congress,
and the Supreme Court to do right, and he recog-
nized Divine Power in past movements that
was still guiding lie closed with strong argu-
ment in favor of giving the negroes all the rights of
freemen, and urged all to do their duty, and also
made statements to show that he had not exaggerated
the wants of the freedmen in his report to the Gov
ernment
