THE FATE OF THE ENGLISH HotsE OF LORDS
It cannot be long before the House or Lords
finds itself face TO face with the new revolution,
bringing with it changes which it will be as idle
to oppose as it was for Canute to attempt to keep
back the rising tide The demand for popular
government will roll on against it like an over
whelming wave, compelling it to go with the
current in order to avoid destruction. As leg
islatve chamber it will certainly be remodeed
perhaps altogether abolished. Ii a second
chamber should be retained at all, it will in all
probability take the shape of a senate, whose
mem bers will be elected for life from among can
ddates relying on their personal merits, not on
their aristoc:atic birth, for election; and to
whom the nation, looking upon as a body of
true cOunselors body of really "pOtent,
grave and reverend seigniors' could safely en-
trust ruling powers. The glory of the House of
Lords is departed As it stands at present it is
mere pageant, an anachronism, an absolute
remnant of the old feudal system. The masses
have taken care TO render it mpotent for evil,
though at the same time they have rendered it
impotent for good. But for a certain conserva-
tive element in the national character, 1t would
ere this have been abolished formally, as it has
for some wears been abolished virtually. 1t has
been retained in form much on the same prin-
cipe which gives to men and women tendency
to preserve relics of bygone days, which, though
cumbersome and useless, they have nevertheless
not quite the heart to destroy

The Machine which bears the name of Elias

the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is passed-sewng the thnest mus

requiring extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams it turns its own
hem as it sews, sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself. To see it hem, fell, tuck, braid
cord, quit and gather, it seems more like a thing
of life than machine moved by the will of the
operator 1t is capable of doing every descrip-
ton of sewing that is required in "A family aud
also for seamstresses and dressmakers it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating and in word, are the
most Safisfdcfory Sewing MuchtneS IN use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority they
are sold at prices AS low as other irst-clAss ma

A Medallion likeness of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of a
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elins Howe,

A GRAND snipe hunt was had near Sacramento
lately, and a railroad official was induced to
" hold the bag" lie held on for two honrs, and
no snipes coming that way he went home. We
take it thas this must have been a small Central
official-say a switchman-for the head officers
of that company have done much better. They
held the bag and caught all the snipes in the
State, not excepting the Legislative snpes, who
can't see anything but the mouth of the bag,
and rush in as nimbly as young monkeys when

DRESeINESs IN CHURCH.-Harper's
Bazaar has some reputation in the
fashionable world, and Is free from
the charge of prudery. Yet this FASH
ionable authority denounces the dis
play of dress that is SO common in our
houses of worship: The best people
of every Christian country but Amer
lea avoid all personal display when
engaged in worship and prayer. Our
churches, on the contrary, are made
places for the exhibition of fine APP
parel and other costly and flattering
compliances with fashion, by those
who boast of superior wealth and
manners. We shall leave our gew'
gawed devotees to reconcile humilia'
ton in worship with vanity in dress.
How far fine clothes may affect the
personal piety of the devotee we dc
not pretend to even conjecture; but
we have a very decided opinion in
regard to their influence upon the
religion Of others. The fact is that
our churches are SO fiuttering with
birds of fine feathers that no sorry
fowl will venture in. 1t is impossible
for poverty, in rags and patches, tc
take its seat, if it should be SO unfort'
innate as to find place beside wealth
in brocade and broadcloth. The
Church being the only place on this
side of the grave designed for rich and
poor to meet together in equal humil.
ity before God, it certainly should
always be kept free to all. 1t is SO IN
most Of the churches in Europe
where the beggar in rags aud wretch
edness, and the wealthiest and mos
eminent, whose appropriate sobriety
of dress leaves them without mark O
external distinction, kneel down to
gether, equalized by common hh
initiation before the only Supreme
Being.o
