Hedrlck's Sewing Machines nnd Eiec-
Iric Motive Power.
A large crowd assemblies around He'd
rick's stand all the time to notice the cleo
trio motive power, which at the smallest
daily expense will keep up the lncessant
work upon the sewing machines, thus &C.
lieving the lady from her usual drudgery,
and leaving her hand and mind free to see
to the work.
1t is interesting to see how the Wilcox d
Gibbs will be run thus with the utmost
rapidity, and both lay and sew hem OF the
finest muslin, and sew on it a thln lace edg-
ing all at one and the same time, with un-
erring accuracy and with the greatest
beauty.
Hedrick sells all the other machines, par
ticulariy the Sloat and Howe, for which ne
has long been an agent. and which stand
sat the head of the profession"
Miller's Restaurant,
We were glad to see yesterday that Miller
was duly hOnored with a good amount OF
custom. He has been keeping up two OF
the largest establishments, with superior
supply of things eatable, but the attendance
has not been such as to reward him, tut
Yesterday he was well treated, and he
treated everybody 80 well that we may say
that it is better to be at the fair than IN
town.
The Southern Dental Depot.
In the Octagonal Building near the stairs,
are to be seen the dental Instruments. fur
niture and materials for dental work, ex-
hibited BY Messrs. Charles Z. keils u Co.,
of the Southern Dental Depot, which ls To-
Gated at No. 153 Canal street. The most
noticeable features of this di play are the
Archer Dental Chair, and magnificent
case of silver-plated and jeweled lnstru-
ments. Both these are so extraordinary,
that we consider short description of each
worthy of perusal. The Archer chair by its
peculiar construction enables the operator
to place the patienfin the exact attitude re-
ouired. The head-rest can be moved to
either side, and the patient can be reached
without being subjected to fatlgulDg OF
painful attitudes. BV turning wheel at the
back of the chair, the seat can be raised OF
lowered, and will remain in that position
without fastening, ali the while the patlen'
is in it. The back and body OF the chair
can be moved forward or backward
carrying the seat with them, by
foot lever and can be stopped at any angle
and bv these movements the patient will
not be subjected to the annoyance OF slip
ping away from the operator. In point o.
workman ship the chair on exhibition Is
magnificent and would ornament any room
and SO luxurious does it appear that every
one who beholds it can hardly resist the I'M
pulse to take seat in 1t. The case OF IN
struments are in richly inlaid rosewood
box about the size of sn ordinary portable
writing desk. The instruments are golt
mounted and jewelled with rubies sno
plated with silver. Every handle Is sollt
ivory, richly but not gaudily carved, while
the steel parts are Of the very hnest MADE
in the world. Every instrument which
dentist ever requires is to be found in thl
case, and there are also complete compart
ments for every description OF material. 81
| beautiful are these instruments that on

on exhibition by Messrs. Charles E. hell

worthy of it.

This really beautiful little steam engine

attention even among the ladies, and seem
to be the most perfect portable engine VI
