CAFE FRANcAIsE.-We understand that the
iudefatigable Barnum has decided to fit up a
frst-cass restaurant 10 the first floor OF Flu
ents Block, with kitchen in the basement, and
access to it will be obtained by two entrances,
one from Congress and the other from Ex-
change street. This is splendid location for
a first-class restaurant, since it will accomo-
date not only the audiences in Fluent's, but
also those in City Hall, when both, or either,
halls are engaged. We understand that the
restaurant, or cate, properly speaking, will be
fitted up in first-rate style, and the bill of fare
will be unexceptionabe.

That Nine O'Clock Bell.

Mr.. EDITOR: Several communications have
Appealed IN h. columns of the Press in refer
ence to the above subject, and one or Two III
the Argus, all of which have been in favor OF
retaining this time honored custom. The only
reason adduced for its dscontlnuance has been
that it interrupts concerts and other perform
ances at CITY Hall. For its continuance, it
has been urged that it is good old custom,
that it sends boys and girls home at a proper
hour. and tells maLy people that bed time has
arrived. The class among our citizens who
would retain the ringing of the bell, are, as
they themselves state, the aged. Those OBJ
posed, the young. 1t is to be presumed, there
fore, that those who desire to hear the peaing
of the bell are of that class who rarely if ever,
attend public amusements, and who. conse-
quently, suffering no annoyance from the
sound, cannot see why others should make
fuss about what is to them very trivial mat
ter. AS to the argument that it is only the
wealthy and highly educated who go to con-
certs, lectures, etc., that is all moonshiue, a
Pigment of a poets brain" to speak politely.
When our wealthy citizens are extremely de-
sirous of first-class public entertainment they
can 60 to Boston or New York and enjoy it
And it is not only the foreigners who are dis
turbed by the bell, but also our musicians,
as well as public speakers, and even public
meetings which take place in the hall. We
none of us like to be annoyed, and we know of
none more awake to petty annoyances than
the aged We may be fond of music When
we are enjoying ourselves most our pleasure
is destroyed. And because one person may
not be as sensitive as another, is that any rea-
son why the others feelings should not be COLI
suited as well as his less sensitive friend?
Many persons feel that they cannot afford to
spend but little money on public entertain
ments. When they go. therefore, they wish
to attend what is first-class. Why subscribe
10 course ticket of the M. L. A. or G.. A. r.
or some other literary or charitable society en-
tertanment? Why should they not be allowed
70 take unalloyed pleasure in these evenings
which constitute their yearly pleasure? which
they talk over afterward by the winter ireside
and which furnish food for convers alton and
study for months
We do not dislike the nine o'clock bell. We
have listened to its tones from childhood with
pleasure, and we can understand why it is pc
culiarly dear to those who can remember when
its solemn peal was an admonition that the
time had arrived to seek their rest. Why not
then effect a compromise Let the bell be rung
at six o'clock instead of nine, or let orders be
given that on the occasion of public perform
ance in City Hall it shall be omitted.

A SEWING MACHINE that will do everything
may not be possible, but the one with which
the greatest variety OF work may be done Is
the machine for family use; and the most per-
feet in this respect is the American Button
Hole. Scanning and Sewing Machine
combined. From personal knowledge of the
machine we know that it will do all t6at is
claimed for it, and do it well, and any person
can learn to manage it after few hours prac-
tice. For strength, beauty finish and variety OF
work this machine has no equal; and all in all
we consider it the cheapest and best machipe
in the market. The American took the
highest PRICE Gold Medal at the late Exbl-
bitlon of the Massachusetts Charitable Me-
chanic Association. 1t can be seen IN opera
ton at the sal,sroom, 135 IL Middle street.
