That this should be the great aim ofall
improvements in domestic appliances
there cannot be doubt, and that o
healthy substitute for the exhaustive, de-
grading, facilitating may we not say
demoralizing needle, with its everlast-
ing stitch, stitch, stitch, " and its accom-
paniments of unhappiness, and often
misery. Our sisters, wives and daugh-
tiers have, where the family is large and
a good stock of clothes is required, and
the family purse is limited, terrible
amount Of drudgery to endure. They
have no time for reading, for attending
amusements or for self-improvement.
Very often they are denied the ordinary
intercourse of society; oh-times many a
mother is little better than slave. But
there is no excuse for this state of things
any longer. Woman's emancipation is
effected by that perfection Of mechanical

foolish are they who, from false notions
of economy, deny themselves its bless
ings The new Silent Wheeler & Wilson
machines can be obtained of A. Sumner,
at 256 Second street, opposite Court
Park, by paying ten dollars per month.
Terms soliberal should induce every fam
lily, no matter how moderate their means,
to possess one of these household fairies.

MERcASrrLE.-Theg general conclusion among
merchants of New York is that business Of the
year has been Unexpectedly successful, and
that there has been really little cause for the
cry of hard times, which has gone up on every
hand. The effect has been to prevent specula-
ton. to keep trsdesmen close to shore, and
prepared for any financial storm. Merchants
are now hopeful, If not confident, and, believ-
ing all danger passed. Look forward to year
IF great prosperity. In this. Memphis will
share to an unprecedented extont, With the
reduction, or rather abrqgatipn of the mer-
chants tax, this must become the cheapest
market in the Southwest.
