TRADE WITH ASIA
There was meeting of leading business
men at tho fremont House last evening, to
devise plans for pouring the wealth OF China
mud Japan into the lap Of Chicago, on the
opening Of the Pacific Railway, noxt spring,
and making this city, instead Of Now York,
the great distributing point for the whole
country. Aseyerybody and everything ar

through this city,if they do not stop here, the
problem ID now 10 make this the stopping
point. Depend upon it, many Of our large
houses hero will, next year, purchase and
import goods direct from Asia, When the
silks, teas and dspices of the East can be laid
down here cheaper than in Europe or in New

public affairs, and 80 much given TO minding
other peoples business that we forget that
house-life and its comforts or discomtorts
are the Joy or bane of our existence. Science
and art havo contributed much to tighten
domestic duties, and machinery now performs
much of the domestic labor formerly done by
hand. There is scarcely branch OF house

SEWING MACHINES. b
The number of which, manufactured and |
in constant use, is almost incredible. There |
is q great variety of these machines, each |
with some pccuharity, and 1t is not little |
noteworthy that equally Intelligent and skill |
ful operators prefer different machines. The |
chief obstacle to their coming into universal |
use is their high price. And competition and |
rev Inventions will soon reIIlove this difficult. |
ty. Alady recently made inquiry Of tho Far |
mers' Club, Of New York, whether there was |
any sowing machine mado and IN the market |
capable of dong thework which the stand |
ard machines do, which are sold at moder-
ate price. There have been many machines |
whose inventors nave CLAIMED Ior tnem tnose

they are protected by patent and combine
together they can command an exofbitanG

welcome the advent qt any new machine, OF
