SURPRISING anything we have ever seep be-
fore-some Of it by teachers and some by
the pupils in
souie's Commercial College.
This well their and excellent institutions
which has turned out SO many men OF busi-
ness and high regulations, and which Is so
abuudantly patronized now, showing IN their
admirable specimens of penmansh!p, which
resent bre more the works Of the masters OF
high art than those of mere photographers,
that j. is constantly progressing TO still
higher excellence.
The Howe Sewing Machine.
The inventor OF the sewing machine
needle was Elias Howe, Jr. In fact. he was
the inventor of the machine, for he first
made it useful. In his latter days he brought
out a machine which he called after his
name, and this machine we found az we
came down stairs, exhibited by Miss s. 7.
Parmely, of 2u7 Canal street, general agent.
This is lock stitch and shuttle machine,
and is specially adapted to manufacturing
purposes, making the strongest ana most
durable work. IL his respect 1t lS, beyond
comparison, Che best OF machines. 1t COM
pare5 most favorably with other machines
for general work, and viii be found by all
who may use it to DO all they want III the
most eEectlve manner.
When we were mentioning the washing
machine we should have spoken OF the new
species Of soap manufactured by our Old
fcllOw-citzsn, r. S. LattGg, called Weed
on's Excelsior Soap" which Is also on exhi-
bition. A trial made before We went ouS
there, has satisfied Us that II Is tle best OF
soaps 10 use il the washing OF clothes. The
particulars Of its pecuIarities will be found
elsewhere in an advertisement, but we can
odd O51r 70 ctIp n at
a trial Of it, fully AID fairly made, shows 1t
to be Qnite equal if not superior to the
famous magic soap, which was 30 p0pular
here baf0re the war, and vas then so greed
i!y sought for. No washerwoman who
knows What it is viii be without IL. We
warmly recommend 1t TO public use.
Empire Sewing Machine.
Another of these useful implements is IN
der exhibition by Messrs. Blakely & Hogan,
CT 80 and 10l Canal street, who use such
things themselves, and woald neither have
nor recommend poor ones. IL Is OF all sizes,
suited for all work, from delicate family
sewing to the heaviest leather work, so say
Messrs. Biako!y & Hogan, and they know,
ior they DO such work themselves. They
say that il uses any and every kind Of thread /;
sews starched goods as well as unstarched
and does not draw in sewing delicate and
thin fabrics. In this machine the straight
needle is used, and the action Is perpendlcu.
lar. The stitch is q lock or shuttle stitch,
which will neither rip nor raVei, and is the
sawe on both sides.
Speaking OF leather, remind us of the fine
display OF home made boots, shoes, etc., for
/ ladies and gentlemen, shown by Glynn y
WIntZ. II WAS very large and extensive,
aud consisted OF every variety Of wear.
from the tinyest and smallest tothe heaviest
water proofs, but all of the most exquisite
finish and workmanship, and beautiful to
look 81.
We have often heard it said that New Or
leans beat Paris in this line. but we
never saw it go completely proven
as it was by this splendid exhibition, and
we fell lincontiDently in love with the wearers
of those sweet, delicate ladies' bootees and
shoes, yet could not tell which of the future
wearers Of them we should love the most.
Go ont, reader, and pick out your future
wife by her shoe, and look for 1t Oh the
street within fortnight.
