We clip the following from the Detroit
Mechanic and Inventor:
The Coop TINE CoxE.-The patent so
long held by Wheeler & Wilson for the
four motion feed sewing machine, has at
last expired, and an extension has been
refused. The day has gone by when o
machine costing but from SIS to $50 can
be sold at from $50 to $l25. We see that
the American Shuttle Sewing Machine
Company of Detroit are irst in the field
with machine embodying all the best
features Of the most costly article, and
while their machines are, in every partjc.
ular, as perfect in their adaptation to all
classes of work as the Wheeler & Wilson,
Grover & Baker, and Singer, they are now
disposing of them at prices ranging from
$25 to $40. This is certainly An Immense
reduction, and its effects are already to be
seen by the large orders received, and the
large shipments being made daily by the
American Shuttle Sewing Machine Com
pany, lis Bates street, Detroit.

MartyTS W0nteOs
We read that DR.. Hayes and Capt.
Hall are contending for the honor of
being frozen to death in new Arctic
exploration. Before this glowing zeal
which is to withstand North Pole
temperature, the icy Indifference of Con-
gress to schemes for personal aggrand-
izement has at last melted. Although
we are to pay cool hundred thousand
or so for the remote chance of learning
that the earth's axis is scientifically ad-
justed and the running gear in good
working order, we yet confess to degree
OF chilly enthusiasm at this spectacle of
deliberate, volunteer martyrdom. This
eager counting of reluctant death in the
cause of science leads us to hope that
the race is not degenerate, and that
some bold souls will yet be found will
ing to dare as much, although it be after
another fashion, in the cause Of religion.
If the modern spirit of endurance is
equal to risks and exposures which
promise SO little in return as do those to
be encountered on the Polar Sea, may
We not hope to hear of Congressman
risking their political lives to save the
country from corruption as practised by
their own party; of a Governor vetoing
a bad bill invented by the ring" which
elected him; of lawyers refusing to "help
their clients" by lying and the defama-
ton Of innocent persons; Of ministers
and churches, who, at some loss Of world
ly prestige, are willing to award to
Christianity the homage which they
have paid too exclusively to a sect ? In
comparison with such spirit even DR..
Hayes fervid ambition would s'pale It's
Intellectual fires. "-Beecher's Union.

. Anson Burlingame, while student at
the University Of Michigan, wrote an es-
say on history, in which he expressed the
opinion that, "by close application, a
young man, in one years time, can be-
come acquainted with the principal events
that have transpired since the creation Of
the world, and thus certainly make him
self an ornament to society, and that,
therefore, it seems strange that any indi.
vidual will rather waste his time in pur-
suing fiction, which only leaves him cause
to regret" And Burlingame was only

Two ladies, much trosbled with house
keeping perplexities, were sitting the 9th
er evening in recess of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel drawing-room, and one remarked,
concerning the speakers servant, ''Eme-
lines most unpleasant popularity is that
she always blows the gas out when she
goes to bed but it will be better to en-
courr &c this practice, in the hope that she
will suffocate herself some night. She
would be much more efficient as good,
quiet, docile corpse than servant-girl."

A Dubuque German had worked for a
year to collect money enough to bring his
wife to him from the old country. He
sent her the money and she sailed on the
City Of Boston. He went to New York
to meet her. And there now, day after
day he walks the docks, and strains his
vision out upon the broad implacable sea
that tells no word of the story it alone
knows. Tie hopes of men have died, but
not his; the mystery that is growing old
to others, is new to him. Strong in his
love he waits, and waits, and hopes.
While the salt spray that leaves the shore
at his side, is the oceans tears for the
dead it keeps until Gods awakening, bat
he knows it not. She lives to him.

A certain town near Providence has
an exceedingly considerate man. The
other morning he awoke to find his house
on fire. Partially dressing himself he
ran across the street, timidly rung his
neighbours door bell and patiently waited
for some one to answer the summons. AZ
ter little while ''the man of the house"
appeared, and the timid man said-"I do
not wish to create any unnecessary alarm,
but my house is on fire.

The canard Of the New York Sun rela-
tive to an alleged filihustering expedition
against Mexico, of which General Rose
Grams is alleged to be the leader, is as
probable a. if the British Minister at
Washington were charged with heading a
Fenian campaign. General Rosecrans is
even now circulating documents, under
his own signature, denouncing the whole
spirit Of conquest and Aiibusterisn toward
the countries south Of Us, and aiming
rather to establish some kind of bund or
friendly union with them on the plan 80
popular half century ago. The effort to
IDENTIFY him with filibusterism is probably
intended maHsioasly to annoy and Islander

The DRLAwAEEAN, the State organ of Vie
Delaware Democracy, is severely exercised
over the fact that few white men, and
number Of colored men recently held apolit-
cal meeting at Frederick. We really hope
our venerable contemporary will calm itself.
1t will have to get used to this sort OF thing
very soon, now, and if it lets every political
meeting in which our colored fellow citizens
take part agitate it to this extent we fear
for the steadiness of its editorial nerves.
anything to do with such things are "scala-
wags" and threatens to publish their names.
This may sound like direful threat in the
political atmosphere of the village in which
the DetaDorean is published but 1t will
hardly scare the ''scallawags.n A large num-
Der of the most respectable citizens OF
Wilmington and other portions of the
State, met their colored fellow citizens in 0
political convention in this city nearly three
years ago, to ask Congress to submit the suf
frage amendment to the states. Thei
names were published at the time in GU
full reports of the proceedings, and the.
were copied by all our State exchanges, an,
yet nothing terrible has happened to any Q
them on the contrary, the white voters G
Wilmington elected several Of them to offic
at the city election, a day or two aftel
wards.
Let the sntiquated organ accept the iney
table, and if it cannot be cheerful, at leas
bear its woes with resignation and fortitudt
1t grieves us to see it so miserable.

WE HAVE ALL HEARD that strong ettor

WE HAVE ALL HEARD that strong efforts
are on foot to gain converts to Mormonism
even among the population of the Atlantic
States. This is perfectly true, though it
seems hard to realize it. The emissariss
sent out last fall, from Salt Lake, are making
every effort among the poor and ignorant
classes, all over the country. In Lancaster
County, it is now reported, they are holding
meetings in school houses along the ''Welsh
Mountains. The meetings are well attended,
but the efforts of the vile deceivers have no,
thus far been attended with flattering
