The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Jr., has long been regarded the stand
ard Of excellence, and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these MAJ
chimes is unsurpassed the thinest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no 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 aud gather, it seems more like thing
Of life than machine moved by the will of the
operator. 1t is capable of doing every descrp-
ton of sewing that is required in family and
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 satisfactory Sewing Machuaes in use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold at prices as low as other irst-class ma
chimes.
A Medallion likeness of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
Jr's Sewing Machine and if they are not sold in
their vicinity, address the General Agency for
illustrated, etc, and do not purchase until you
have thoroughly Investigated these renowned
machines.

CUBAN MAssACREs. The reported condition OF
the civil war n Cuba if true, demands The i'm
mediate interference of civilized powers to res
train Spanish crueltes and wild licentiousness.
When "A nation at this day justfes itself, and
that in the name of the Christian religion,
through the mouths of priests, in the assassina-
ton of men, for no other cause than that they
are Freemasons, it is time that other nations,
possessed of better moral sensibties, should
intervene and stay the hands of the mnrderers.
If Spain does justify such outrages AS that of
Santiago, reported in our teegraphic news yes
terday, then Spain is not fit TO rule over Cuba,
any other part of the earth. If she does not
justify them, but is incapable of restraining that
lawless mob of soldiery known as the Volunteers
of Cuba, then the United States has no longer a
right to hesitate in the protection ofits citizens,
whose lives are thus menaced by these barbar-
ians.

We commend Martin, of Butte, to the especial
notice of Providence. His corporeal package is
small, but the goods choic. 1t is rumored
that there is to be a weighing match between
him Bob Farrall, the lghtest man (apothe-

Gildea and Thomas intend trying the " Bant-
ing process, TO reduce themselves of supertu-
Gus corporeal matter. They object to packing
such extra load around, only receiving there
fore the Legislature per diem
Captain G. R. b. Hayes has raised another
point of order. 1t is doing well could be
expected and does him infinite credit.

RED RIVER TROUBLES SETrLED.-Es stern pa
pers of the date February l4th, says the Red
river troubles are all settled, and the people
there have promised loyalty to the British au-
thorities. The matter is summoned up as fol-
lows; Half the population are English and
Sotch, who never was dissatisfied, and are as
loyal to the Queen as the people of London or
Edinburg while the other half are French half
breeds, who, though they did not like Governor
McDougal and do not like the Dominion, are
good Catholics" ;" and therefore controlled by
the Jesuit priests among them. These priests
have become alarmed at the symptoms, and are
afraid that further rebellion would end in annex
alton to the United States. That would end
their power in the country, and might Interfere
with their property rights, and so they have, in
the emphatic language of once distinguished
Southern statesman % called off their hounds.
President ReiIe recently made speech full OF
loyalty the Queen Victoria, and the Fort Garry
Convention has drawn up paper in which they
pledge themselves to come into the Dominion il
the Canadian Parliament will guarantee them

THE SCHOOL Boy LEDGE.-For more than a
year and half the boys attending the Oakland
school on Gold fiat, have been at noon and
other times prospecting in the vicinity OF the
school for quartz. They sunk number OF
shafts on the groupings, some as deep as fifteen
feet. This week they started in IA new place,
and on going down few feet struck the ledge.
John A. johnson, aged twelve, Henry l.. Bou-
Were, aged eleven years, are entitled to the dis
covery, being in the shaft, and they with seven
others own the ledge, having located 900 feet.
The ledge shows as fine prospect as we have
ever seen in surface rock. Upon the surface OF
a specimen weighing abont pound, shown us
hy the boys, we saw dozen or more colors.
The ledge is about eighteen inches wide and the
rock uniformly rich. These boys are setting
our men a good example, and we are pleased TO
note their success in mining. They attended
school regularly and have done their prospect
ing on Saturday, and at other times when they
could get time. If some of the men who are
about the country would, when times are dull
devote part Of their time to looking up mines,
they might materially in developing the re-
sources of the country. We hope the School
