ADJUSTMENTS.
Theatricals are dull. Aiken is going back
to Woods Museum. The menagerie and cir
Gus are the chief attractions here just now.
st. Georges picnic, at Haas Park, was
monster gathering highly enjoyed by many
thousands. People are making off to sum-
mer resorts by every train and boat.
Among the inventions to Tighten the tolls
of the household and minister to the health
and comfort of its members, next TO the sew
ing machine ranks the knitting machine, by
which the work of twenty or thirty days can
be performed in one. There are great va
riety of these machines, some knitting only
fiat web, and others circular tube OF uni
circular machines have been devised to par
tally form toe, or make bridge for heel
but the objections to these improvements are
that they are complicated and require too
much time and care to complete their work
from ten to twenty revolutions being required
TO knit once around the fabric. All these
difficulties are obviated by
THE LAME FAMILY KNITTING MACHINE,
which l;nits once around at every revolution
of the crank, and is the only machine that
sets up it's own work, narrows and wldens
without removing needles, narrows off the
toe complete; knits regular heel, or
stocking of any size, or the double, ribbed,
or fancy flat web. It knits the same stitch
made by hand, and all kinds of staple and
fancy knit goods, such as shawls, hoods,
Jackets, undershirts, drawers, cradle blankets,
comforts, leggins, tides, gloves, mittens,
sc. 1t is so simple child ten years old can
work il is durable, and not liable to get out
of order. It is the only perfect knitting
machine in use and will complete ten pairs
of stockings a day. Eight thousand have

THE woA1AN's RIGHTS MOVEMENT T.
hos assumed a prominence in the public
The Journals and special advocates devoted
to woman suffrage are earnest and belhger-
ent, and with conventions, lectures,
petitions, &C., keep up quite a., lively
centricities and lmprudencies of some of it's
advocates are charged to the cause itself, as
DroOf that women are not tit to be entrusted
with the ballot. But reasonable and think
ing men will judge of a cause by It's merits
and not bv the demerit3 of its advocates. 1t
:. = o1, tho nOis1aSt and most OffipIOua
champions that do good cause most efficient
service It is not those who proclaim upon
the housetops, what should be done, but
those who quietly go and do 1t, who are the
truest workers for WOman5 cause, and WIN
the most friends for it,.
WHAT WOMAN CAN DO.
There is a striking example of this eff
ciencv, in the history of quiet, lady-hl1e,
well known woman of this city. Those who
attended the Sanitary Fair here, in 1865, Will
remember Mrs. Myra Bradwell, wife of Judge
Bradwell, superintendent OF the department
of Arms, Trophies and Curiostiess in Bryan
Hail. The great success of that department
of the Fair, was chiefly due to their eXer-
tons Mrs. Bradwel1 being absent from the
Hall but one day out of thirty, and never
leaving it for fourteen successive days
When an appropriation from the Legislature
was needed for the Soldiers Home, in 1867,
Mrs. Bradwell, at the instance ofsome Of our
leading citizens, was sent to Springfield TO
secure it, and succeeded in getting S24, 600
| $4,000 a year, for two years
for that institution. Having
| good legal mind, improved by o thorough ap-
! premiership in her husbands office, and see
ing an unoccupied field which she felt able
to cultivate, she quietly took possession, and
last October, began the publication of the
Chichgo Legal Ne2cs, Which-as it's name
imports-gives the decisions of the courts,
especially of the y. S. Courts and of the
States Supreme Courts, in all important
| o,,l
long time in advance of the ordinary publica-
| ton. So that it has become almost indispen~
sable to every good lawyer. And the Legis-
lature of Illinois looked with so much favor
upon the enterprise, and deemed her so well
qualified to conduct it, that, by special acts.
they gave her full powers OF Incorporation
a favor, believe never before shown to a wo-
man IN this cOuntry-declared the Legal
News newspaper within the meaning of the
statute, authorized the publication in it the
| laws of the State, and directed the Secretary
of State to furnish Mrs. Bradwe1 with certf-
fed copies of the laws as fast as they were
enacted, and made the laws and legal decis-
ions, published in the Legal News prima
fac1e evidence in all the courts of the State.
The paper is admirably conducted, has the
confidence of both the bench ana the bar,
and, with such an official and professional en-
dorsement it has already attained a wide cir
culation and the best assurance of long and
prosperous life.
| mention these facts, not to commend
| Mrs. Bradwell or her paper-for they do not
need my encomlum-but, to illustrate the
truth, that the best way for women to en-
large their opportunities for usefulness is to
improve those they already have. One strik-
ing example such as [ have here narrated is
worth to the cause of woman whole year of
suffrage conventions, lectures and denI1ncia-
tions Of ''the tyfant, man."

BISHOP wHITEHoUsE ENJoINRD.
! Judge Jameson to-day, refused the motion

packed court proceeding with the trial of

his decision by declaring that not similar
tribunal has existed or been guilty OF such in

The Bishops party have appealed the case
