The attention of tho public is called to the
superior merits of this machine over all others
for either family use or manufacturing purposes.
Its relative excellencies and many good quail
ties over all others are so wel-known, and SO
generally admitted, that an enumeration OF
them is Unnecessary. The sales Of this machine,
since an agency has been established in this
city, is without precedent and the demand for
them throughout the whole world at the present
day is so great that the manufacturers are
scarcely able to meet them. Call and ex-
anime them before purchasing elsewhere, n it
is beyond question the best, most durable, SIM
pie, and beautiful machine over brought before
the public making 5 stitches to any other ma

How THE JAPANESE WOMEN BATHE.-A
correspondent of the New York World, who
has been visiting Yokohama, describes visit
10 one of their native bath houses there
"IIere, open to the street, as usual, we found
the place to be large, square room, with the
floor raised about two feet from the ground,
and partition, about three feet high, running
through the centre. On one side OF this room,
IN the costume of Mother Eve before she stu
died pomology, were collected from fifty to
seventy women and girls, and, on the other
side, perhaps thirty men and boys, clad IN a
curtaed nattcrn Of the famous Georgia Major )
airy suit, but that even the shirt.colar and
spurs were wanting The old Joke about a
wet nurse in bath house was here particularly
realized Some dozen native dryads, whom
took to be the owners OF the lavatOry temple,
were securing the dark haired, rosy naiads with
LARGE punches OF paper, while others poured water
over them from well in the centre OF the room
hy means of wooden dippcrs with long handles.
The ceasccss din and Gathering OF the nymphs
nnder this process was absolutely deafening.-
Far from feeling any sense OF shame by the
presence of their own countrymen, who were
enjoying the bath in company, they gave not
the slightest thought or attention to the num-
Der OF foreigners who were looking on. Per
hans, like the the poets chlyalrous defence OF
I.l'iy nVdiva, ought to say that they were
clothed IN unconSciousnesS OF tPn6ab;tno,oI5 -

A MuIINER RECEIVES AN IMMENSE LEGA-
CY.-Fort Edward, n. Y, is greatly excited
over story rOmatic throughout, and one which
aptly illustrates the passing straDgeness of
human events. Miss Ellen Gray, young wo-
man, a millincr and dressmaker, resides in the
town of Fort Edward. Having q few years
since formed the acquaintance OF young man,
an Engishman, (namc not given they subsc-
duently became engaged His relatives re
sided in England, whittier he repaired, and be-
came the fortunate posSessor OF an immense
wealth by the death Of blood relation. Cor
responding regularly with his betrOthed living
across tho briny sea, he expected to return there
at certain day and make her his wife. lie
died about two years since, before consumma-
ting his wishes, when ne left his wealth lit is
put down at $l9, 900 000) to the Fort Edward
lady. The will was contested, but the validity
was fully established. Word was sent to Miss
Cray that the money awaited her pleasure. and
il is generally understood she will leave this
week Tor Hold England'' to secure her uuex-
pccted prize. The Sandy Hill Herald says:
From the many conflicting stories afoat in
regard to this matter, the foregoing is about
rs correct n version of the affair as We can
clean. We cannot vOuch for its authenticity,
but there seems to be- no doubt that it is in the
main correct, aud that a very large amount of
money has actually been bcqueathcd to the
lady IN question.

did permit The Spanish gulboats to
take their departure from New York

The IS, insinuates that Spanish
gold aid the busine ss for Secretary
FISH, aud that Senior ROBERTS, the
Spanish Minister, artfully baited the
golden hook with Mr. SIDNEY WEB
sTER, the Secretary's son-in- law. The
Post insinuates that the latter re-
ceived fee Of $4,000 in gold, con-
tingent upon the release of the gun
boats, aud that the distinguished
lawyer got a decision of the Courts
and Cabinet in favor of Spain. We
believe that the insinuations of the
Post are not well founded. IF they
were it would give US something more
substantial than mere insinuations.
With shrewd and patriotic editors
like those of the Post and New York
San, which the Cuban Junta have
managed to enlist in their favor, to
spy out treason and detect bribery,
the Spanish Minister could not use
gold very probably without a note
being made Of it. Why the San

The appointment of Edwin NJ. Stan
ton, ex Secretary of War, to fill the
vacancy on the Supreme Bench, made
by the resignation Of Justice Grier,
will receive popular approval, as it
has already received that of the Sen
ate. Before the war, Mr.. Stanton
was recognized as one of the strongest
men at the bar-learned in his pro-
fession, q powerful advocate, safe
counsellor, rich in saving common
sense"
When he entered Mr.. Lincoln's
Cabinet, he was a man In robust
health. in the prime and vigor of life.
His Astounding energy soon made
itself felt In the conduct of the war !;
he pushed things; armies were rein
forced, supplied, equipped and mobil-
lied with a promptness unknown be-
fore; doubt and fear gave way before
his unshaken faith in the success of
the cause, and the enthusiasm that
kindled his heart inspired the hearts
of his countrymen. He was the mo-
tive power of the vast machinery, In
a truer and more comprehensive sense
than any other one man welding civil
or military authority.
Mr.. Stanton retired from the War
Office broken in health. and, compar-
atively, a poor man. He might have
had millions, by taking advantage of
his official position, and in ways, too,
that would not have been known. He
did not make cent. He had but one
purpose, to prosecute the war, and but
one object, to save the republic. He
retained his place till he felt that the
substantial results of the war had
been secured, till all further danger
to the country had passed, and went
out of office to resume the practice of
his profession, and earn his living as
an honest man. He made no claims
upon country or party. He sought
no office; he never had sought it; but
once offered and accepted, he pro-
ceeded to administer its duties with
such signal ability, that the Secreta-
ryship which he held became the most
conspicuous OF all.
He deserves the tardY honor of a
place upon the Supreme Bench; and
though his Health is broken, if the
good wishes of his countrymen can
restore it, he will feel in his veins the
tide of life that revived the Vigor of
Richelieu after he had triumphed over
his enemies, and been reinstated IN
the graces of his sovereign, and live
long to adorn the position to which
he has been named by the President,
aud with exceptional alacrity con-
frmed by the Senate. - Cincinnati

FIVE hundred buildings, costing in
the aggregate 100000, have been
erected in Chicago since the first of
last January. The Philadelphia Bull
letin reports 4,787 new buildings and
1, 115 alterations and additions in that
city during the same time. It should
be borne in mind, also, that the new
structures raised in the Eastern city
are almost entirely stone or brick,
while in Chicago, many are one or

ToLERATIoN, religiously consi

FEDERATION, religiously consid-
cred, is a most commendable and
praiseworthy quality. whether it be
manifested by individuals, national
tiles or churches. It is not unfre-
quently the case, however, that those
who most strongly advocate tOlera-
ton when they are in a minority, be-
come the most intolerant when they
are powerful. In this country the
Catholic Church is most unrelent-
ing foe Of intolerance, as manifested
in Know Nothipgism and Philadel-
phia church riots. Bat in Mexico
circumstances alter cases The
following dispatch shows how the
thing works in tLat priest-ridden
country:
A mob attacked a Protestant con-
gregation at Puebla, during service.
The mob we're lead by an Imperial
officer, and urged on by priests.
Many of the congregation were Sc
verely injured, and some of them are
not expected 10 live The mob tried
to burn the Protestants alive, using
Bibles as funeral pile. The police
interfered and arrested several of
the rioters. The mob afterwards
went 10 several Protestant dwellings
and threatened the inmates.
