American Machinerv Abroad,

The London Times and the largest English
newspapers are printed by Hoes presses, Ameri-
can reapers and other agricultural implements
take the lead in England, and our sewing ma
chimes may now be found in every wellordered
British household The Court Journal, in a re-
cent issue, describes handsome sewing ma
chine which has been made for an English lady
high rank. We quote the paragraph
.As the sewing machine has been advanced
gradually from purely manufacturing uses to a
house old position, and thence to an adjunct of
the dJ les OF refined home. Messrs. Grover &
Baker, OF No. $50 Regent street, have wisely
catered Tor the supply in more elegant form,
and the machines they have now brought before
the public present the appearance OF cabinets,
and are made in various woods This hrm has
just completed machine, designed and orna-
mented expressly Tor lady of rank, which sur
passes, Tor elegance, anything of the kind ever
seen. The table and stand are OF satin wood,
inlaid with tulip wood, with carved border, an
uchly gilt. The machine itself is silyer-plated,
inlald with pearl and most delicatev tinted.
1t has been pronounced, by all who have seen
ii, as perfection"
There is quite controversy going on in an.
other English periodical, the Queen with regard
10 the qualities and advantages OF the different
American sewing machines. A correspondent
OF the last-mentioned paper writes;-
81 am happy to inform 'Perplexlty' that have
been using oOe of Grover n Bakers machines
for the last six months. / cannot speak toe
highly of the beauty OF the work, nor OF the per
feet ease with which it is used (not so hard al

Charles Dickens read his Christmas Carol on
Tuesday evening, 9th, at ST. James Hail, and, in
evitably, TO large audience. With the excep-
ton that his voice is hardly so powerful and
resonant as it was, he reads with as much taste,
pathos, and dramatic vigOr as ever. He has
made an engagement with the Messrs. Chappell
for thirty readings, the majority to be devoted to
the provinces. AIropos, the Midland Rail way
devotes a saloon carriage TO him and his suite
free Of expense, that he may be enabled to travel
wit more comfort and cOnvenenCe-a very

EDITOR News AN item appeared in
yesterdays Enterprise, purporting to be
the proceedings of a meeting of Confidence
Engine No. G. which is likely to create a
wrong impression among fremen. The
writer-who is none other than an expell-
ed fireman, William NJ. Gillespie-brings
into the fremen's election a very obnox-
ious question, that is, he wishes firemen
to discriminate in the selection OF their
officers what kind Of an engine company
they should belong to-a side-stroko or
an end-stroke. This shallow proposition
is well worthy of its author. 1t is the
wring;ng-in of such narrow-minded issues
into Fire Departments of other cities which
have caused more quarrcls and fights than
all other difficulties; and it bchooves the
fremen of this city to ignore them, and to
discard them as unworthy their notice:
In the selection Of their officers they should
choose competent men d; and not base their
judgments upon the question as to what
part of Ian engine the water is forced o
Of. As is his custom, Mr.. Gillespie has
again pokcd his officious spoon into mat
ters which do not concern him.
