Darts.
Chief Justice Chase has written a letter
to Judge Underwood, Of Virginia. stating
that he would be present in Richmond AT
the opening of the United States Court in
November. lie refers to the fact that the
oaii bond of Mr.. Jefferson Davis calls for
MS DavIs's) presence at the court on the
fourth Monday of November, but tells Judge
Underwood to inform Mr.. Davis's counsel
that be (Chief Justice Chase) will be ready
to proceed with Mr. Davis's trial as soon
as court opens, if they desire it. He saws
that he will hear and attend to ANYTHING
bearing upon Mr.. Dsvis's case then. but
that me Will not remain in Richmond after
the Supreme Court of the United States as
sembles in December.
Tins letter was to-day handed by Judge
Underwood to Mr.. d. Randolph Tucker. one
OF MIR. Davis's counsel The latter took a
copy of it, but would give no reply until af-
ter he shall have consulted the counsel as
ISOLATED with him.
As intimated above, Mr.. Davis's bond
does not expire until the fourth Monday in
November, and the court meets sooner. T.
ven should Mr.. D.waivc his rights under
the bond and agree to 60 to trial sooner, it
IS hardly possible that J udgc Chase can pre-
side through the whole trial if he is deter
mined upon being present at the q. s. Su-
preme Court in Hecember, as it is not prob
able that the trial corld be concluded by
that time or Ear. san.

Interesting to Ladies'.

The following extracts are from the testimony
taken under oath, in a recent case pending before
the United States Patent Office upon the actual
merits of the GROVER 4 BAKER SEWING MACHINE
and its relative merits as compared with other
machines:
Mrs. CAROLINE L. PEARSON, 81 Court Street
Brooklyn. lady who has had twelve years prac-
ucal acquaintance with the leading Sewing Ma
chlnes, asserts that the Grover & Baker Machine
is the best, and gives the following reasons;
Q.-Amorg your acquaintance who have used
the Grover d Baker, and also other machines
state whether or not the Grover & Baker IS in ALI
cases known to YOU preferred for family use
Al suppose have compared my experience
with over five hundred ladies, and never, except
n one instance, found that they preferred other
machines 10 the Grover & Baker, when they have
tried both machincs
Q.-What are the reasons OF this preference :?
Please state them fully and OF large.
A.-ihe principal reason. or one of the main
reasons, is for the elasticity and durability Of the
stitches, the regularity and beauty Of the stitch
on MI fabrics alike. There are some machines
which sew very nicely on certain kinds Of work
that do not sew well on others. have never
found the fabric yet that The Grover & Baker Ma
Cnlucs Wlii not Sow I'm The most beautiful manner

TO adapt or adjust tho Grover & Baker Machine to
different kinds Of work and fabricks than IL does
ca any other machine ] think the stitch is in
'aluhoie 10 families IN furnishing n cheap and ra-
Fid mode Of beautiful ornamcntation
Mrs. JANE McCREADY, wife Of Dr.. McCready ~
last 2jd street, New York, says OF have used
Ior nine ycdrs Grover Baker Machine and up
on 20 have done all kinds Of family sewing for
The house for my children and husband, besides

and ombrodcrng. During All that time nv ma
