TO CAPT. ALIS T s
AND MANUFACTURERS SEEKING
SAFE INVESTMENTS.
We call your attention to the little,
simple article of IA Broom, known rs
POWERS PATENT PERPETUAL BROOM,

, EVERY one knows the unlimited demand
for this useful article, and if you once under
stand its merits, and the advantages of Sc
curing its monopoly in the manufacturing
and sale, there is scarcely one man in a thou
sand that would not, after due investiga-
tion, give it hearty support We speak from
experience and practical knowledge when
we say that this Broom is superceding all
others, and is fast coming into general use;
and we defy capitalists to find a field of la
Dor that will pay as large per centage as
Powers Patent Broom.
1t IS true, we sell the right to manufac-
ture and sell this article, and some narrow
minded persons might doubt how and when
they would see their money coming back,
but as a general thing capitalists are salts
fled to loan their money at 10 per cent; but
if We cannot satisfy the most incredulous
that Powers Patent Perpetual Broom will
guarantee 100 per cent. on all capital in
vested. then we say, in all candor. don't in
vest your money with us in the Broom, and,
on the other hand, if, after investigation
you find we have underrated instead of over
rated the advantages, then give it your sup
port. We feel confident that we can con-
vince any sober sane and reasonable man that
the Broom is all we claim for it, and if we
can't show this, if you come from distance.
we will pay your expenses both ways and
bills while in the city. Remember this if
you please
If you are not satisfied that it is even a
greater success than we rePrSSont 1T, we are
making them here where any one can see the
process, and you can do the same, 1t does not

As WE ExPEGTED-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times in
his letter of the 25th says, ga systematic
and tolerably well organized plan for mis-
representing the Presidents speech, and
of the circumstances under which it was
delivered, was put in operation within
one hour after the speech was concluded,
and up to this moment the parties engag-
ed in this unfair course, have persistently
kept up other highly colored and exag-
gerated reports by kilograms, to thenews-
papers in the North and especially in the
West and Northwest"
1t was precisely because we suspected
some such foul play, we declined to pub
lish the mixed-up telegraphic synopsis OF
the speech received here, and waited for
the report made by the reporter of the
Washington InteJligencer Now that the
President has "shelled the woods" and
driven out the bushwhackers who were
assailing him into open hostility, we may
expect from them all kinds of misrepre-
sentations of him.-Memphis Appeal

A MoONLEsS MONTH-The month of Feb
ruary, 1866 just closed, will be marked in
the astronomical calendar as the month
which had no full moon. January had two
full moons, and March will have two: but
February had none. Of course this peculiar
conjuncture of periods that makes the full
moon show her face but a few hours before
the month comes in, and again few hours
after the month goes ont, is rare thing in
nature-but how rare do you suppose, gentle
reader! 1t has not occurred before in YOUR
lifetime, nor ours-not since the time of
Washington; not since the discovery of
America by Columbus; no. nor since the
Christian era, nor since the fall of Adam, nor
since the creation of the world, unless that
period be placed back myriads of years. And
it viii not occur again, according to the
computation of astronomers for two mil
lions and half of years-New York Evan
gelist.
A little calculation will show that this is
a mere scientific canard. The length of a
lunar month is29 days, - hours, "A minutes,
80 seconds, or 29.53O589I2 days; therefore
when the new moon in January falls later
than llh. l5m. 81 Is A. NJ. on the 30th, or in
leap year on the 3lst-there will be no new
moon in February. The residual part of
the month of January is about OH in leap
year and 049 in common years. Now in four
centuries there are 303 common and 81 leap
years, from which a tOlerable arithmetician
can arrive at the result that there are, on
an average, about 1862 occasions in 400
years for the happening of this event; in
other words, that it will occur once in about
twenty-four years, but, from the nature of
the case, at various intervals. The calcula-
tion is, of course made upon the basis of the
length of the mean synodical month.

Speaking of the Queen of Spain's fam
lily, the London Times states that "the
royal children n0ao Iirmg are five in num-
Der, the new born infant completes the
half alfdozen''-although those "now living
number but FIVE! In another place the
astute correspondent alleges in reference
to Her Catholic Majesty's recent addition
to her family, that 'theeuenth lad been for
seen, and provided for with the utmost
accuracy" The executive ability which
provided for that event with such
admirable ''accuraey'-even to the size,
