POWERS PATENT PERPETUAL BROOH
DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM

DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM
light cone of brass receives the corn
which is held fast by double row Of teeth
made of malleable IRON, inserted between
the two rows of corn, and drawn into the
cone by means of a screw entering an iron
nut in the handle. A brass ferule covers the
nut and gives a bearing TO the shoulder OF
the cone Two small brass wires, about an
inch and quarter in length, extend from
the two angles of the center-piece, within the
cone, to the edges OF the broom when filled,
leaving on each side a small hook to CON
meet narrow brass band that tlattens and
sttfens the broom instead of sewing. The
difference in weight between this and the
ordinary broom is no more than two or three
ounces and not perceptible. This is the only
patent in which the amount of corn can be
varied at pleasure according as you may
wisha light or heavy broom. They wear
much longer thanthe ordinary broOms, from
the fact that they are not injured by alter
nate wetting and drying, and cannot work
OF shake loose at the handle.
1t would he superhuous to tell house
keepers that the vast majority of brooms
would last twice as long if some measure
could be introduced that would secure the
corn to the handle till it could be worn out.
In our broom this end is effectually accom-

SOME OLE ITS MERITS.

Among the many advantages WnlCh we
claim for this broom, the principal are its
durability and the cheapness, ease and dis
patch with which it may, at any time, be re-
newcd, and therefore is practical economy.
Any man OF woman, and almost any child
of ten years, can make a perfect broom with
out any machinery in ten minutes, and re-
new it as often as it wears out. Farmers
can raise few hills of broom corn each year,
and having purchased one broom for $500,
can make their own without the expense of
a shilling or penny And in cities people
may renew their brooms at pleasure, for the
simple price of the corn, now not more than
five or eight cents. instead of paying rs they
now do, fifty cents for a broom that viii not
wear half so long. We know of no reason
why handle and fixtures may not last Il
life time.
Whenever a demand is created for any
article the country produces some one
stands ready to respond. For instance-in
the spring we want some deicacies that the
season does not afford, but they have been
preserved for us. In the summer we want
vegetables that we could not raise, and we
find that some one in the outskirts of the
city has anticipated our wants and brought
them to our door And may we not believe
that these same men will bring us corn for
our bToomS. rs soon as we create a demand

GhNEifAL REMAHkSsJ
The Secretary has thus presented in such
manner as his pressing official duties
would permit, his views Of the financial
condition of the country, the causes of
trouble, present and prospective, and the
remedies for the same. If these remedial
measures shall be approved by Congress,
And enforced by appropriate legislation, be
Is sconfident that specie payments may be
resumed by the time our interest-bearing
notes are retired,l which must be done 10
less than two years, and probably will be
In much shorter period. -
The Secretary does not mean to assert
that the adOpsien of all his measures (al-
though he regards each as importantly is
absolutely necessary to a returnt0 specie
payments, nor that other remedies may not
be adopted by Congress to rescue the coun-
try from impending financial troubles.
He presents, as he considers 1t to be his
duty to do, his own views, and asks that
they may receive careful consideration, and
be adopted II they commend themselves to
the wisdom of Congress, and rejected II
measures better calculated to secure the
desired end can be devised. The most
sanguine and hopeful must perceive that
the Business of the country cannot for a
much longer time be run upon the present
high level with safety. The speculative
interest, large and powerful in ITSELF is re-
eeiving daily new accessions OF strength
by the increase of individual credits; and
when spectators and debtors control the
financial policy of the country, financial
collapse is Inevitable. These untoward
and dangerous influences can now be re-
sisted, and the true interests OF the people
require that they should be resisted prompt
ly and deeisively. s'D'''
/ Strong as is the Secretary's conviction
that we have been for some time, and still
are, moving in the wrong direction, and
that much OF our prosperity is unreal and
unreliable, his confidence, in, the ability Of
the country to right itself speedily is un+
shaken. We have but touched the surface
of our resourees-the great mines OF, our
national wealth are yet to be developed.
The experiences of the past four years have
only assured us OF our strength. 1t is only
necessary that our true situation be-undef-f
stood in order that the proper remedies
may be applied. There is no insurmount-
able sobstacle in the way of restoration to
perfect financial health, without the pain
tulstfials to which 10 has been apprehendedl
we must first be subjected. To be CO.
worker with Congress and the people in eff
fecting this most desirable result has been,
and will continue to be, the highest aim Of
the Secretary. si atG

RELATIoNs wITH CANADA, ETO.

In regard to the commercial intercourse
between the United States and British
America. the Secretary adheres to the gem
eral opinion ex pressed In his report OF 1866,
that until our revenue system Is fully re-
vised and adjusted to the financial situation
of the country, this subject should not be
placed beyond the control of Congress, but
should be left to concurrent legislation
and such regulations as the Treasury De-
partment may be authorized by law to pre-
scribe. Another reason for arrangements
thus flexible is presented by the Uncertain
ty of the political situation of British
America. The scheme of confederation,
which proposes to transfer questions OF
revenue and external trade to a single CEN
tral authority, has not been adopted, and
the opposition to the measure may prevail
with the new ministry of England, either
to modify materially the terms Of the Que-
bee convention, or to subject the whole
the Provinces.
The Secretary thinks that when the
United States have simplified methods and
reduced existing rates of taxation, British
America will be prepared to undertake a
system,of public improvements along the
channel of the st. Lawrence and through
northwest British America to the Pacific
coast, which, by the financial necessities
Attending its adoption and the administra-
ton of federal government, will suggest
q aZollverein, or complete assimilation of
excise and custom duties on each side of the
northern frontier. At present. inaction
upon this subject would appear to be the
true policy OF the United States.

TaE ORPHANS FEsTIvAL.-The enter
tainment for the benefit Of the orphans
opened last night at Masonic Hall. The
attendance was full, but not as great as it
would have been, but for the Congressional
banquet. The appointments, however, were
complete and in the best taste. The col
lection Of articles on exhibition is very Sc
lect, and will be increased in richness and
variety from day to day The ladies-the
ministers of good were present in great
number, and thewhole scenein the spacious
hall was highly attractive. We cannot at
tempt description of the many noticeable
features Of the festival. The stalls and
stands are arranged in the best possible
taste
Among them we notice one whose in
seription reads,
He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord"
If you like the security down with the dust.
This table was literally loaded with va
riety..of articles-bOOlls, pictures, and every
thing to captivate the eye and delight the
taste.
Mrs. Coopers table was luscious with
cakes and confectionery of all sorts, and
graced with an array of attendants that
put to shame all that art can do in the way
Of sweetness.
The orphans table, in charge Of Mrs.
Montague, assisted BY several other ladies,
is one Of the finest features of the hall, and
was literally patronized. The tables Of Mrs.
H. K. Walker and Mrs. Fox Wharton, were
also highly decorated At the latter table
the bslloting for the Ministers writing
desk proceeeed with great animation. The
"wheel Of fortune" was in constant revolu-
ton, and was attended by many applicants
We noticed also the table of Miss Mamie
Eakin, with its splendid display Of dolls,
toys, pictures, etc; and also the orphans
cigar store, in charge Of Miss Sue Woods
and assistants.
The festival was attended during the
evening by many of the celebrities of the
city, among whom we noticed Maj. Gen.
Cheatham, of this State, and Senator Nor
ton, Of Minnesota.
At this late hour We cannot do full justice
to the Fair, but will endeayor to give fuller
notes during its progress.
