From the Atlanta (GA) IntsIligencer
Sewing MRchine Contcai.

At the house of Mr.. r. H. Edmunson, on
Walker street, very interesting trial OF
the Howe and Wheeler & Wilson ma
chimes took place on the 9th and 2Sth
January, part of two days being taken,
in order to thoroughly test the relative
merits of the two machines.
The Wheeler & Wilson was represented
10y Mr. Campbell, man of long experience
in the sewing machine business and a fine
operator, while MIR. Gilmore, who repre-.
sented the Howe, had been connected with
that machine less than two weeks. This
gave the operator of the Wheeler & Wilson
a great advantage, but the superiority o.
the Howe more than madeup for the mex.
perience Of the operator.
The great adaptability of the Howe tc
all kinds of sewing is one Of its chief point:
OF merits, the machine operating equally
well upon all fabrics, from the finest mus
Inns to the heaviest cloths. Different kinds
of work were executed upon the Howe
such as plain sewing, hemIning, filling
braiding, cording, tucking, etc, all with
the greatest ease and rapidity. The sUpe
Tiority of the Howe was particularly showI
in braiding, the operator not being Obliged
to touch the braid while executing even the
most elaborate patterns. The ease witt
which the tensions were managed was
really wonderful, no change being required
when taking linen thread off the machine
and threading it up with the finest cotton
The trial took place in the presence o
Mrs. Edmundson and number of he
friends, and the verdict was UNANIMOUS IN
FAVOR OF THB HOWE. Mrs. EdmundsoD
words were, 81 have used the Wheeler 4
Wilson THREE WEEKS, and the Howe but
THREE DAYS, and can do my work will

Loui,vjIIe Live stock marke,

LOUISVILLE, Feb. THE weather has
been delightful for the handling of all
classes of live stock the past week, ending
this evening, and large business has been
done. The market may be regarded as
active, with heavy sales each day.
CATTLE-The market may be regarded as
good. The offerings to-day were confined
to but few droves, which were readily sold
to the butchers and shippers; few, how
ever, were sold to feeders. There were
only about $50 head sold, while usually, on
Monday, the sales amount to some 800
head. This shows falling off in sales, yet
prices we're fully maintained at last weeks
quotations. We quote for common and
rough 3.0004O 90, medium 4. 5095.00, good
to choice 5.5OG6 80, to butchers; good
heavy to shippers at 6.O0@G.5O for light,
and 6 1901 % per 100 pounds for heavy
well fatted, weighing from l, 300 to 1900
pounds. Cows and calves are selling slow
at 80 O06G0 90 per head, owing 10 quality
SHEEP-The receipts have been fair
with a good demand for butchers stuff,
and also to shippers. We quote light at
4.50@5 80 and heavy at 6.OO@G. 80 q 100
lbs gross.
HoGs-The market has not been so good
as last week, owing to a heavy decline in
prices East, yet the decline here has not
been so great H c. Middleton is still on
the market buying for packing purposes.
We quote light at 6j067.50, medium at
7.750S. %, and heavy at s. 50@9.0O 2 100
Tbs gross.
HORSES AND MULE5-The receipts Of this
class of stock seem to gradually fall of, yet
a good many are still being shipped South.
The news is rather discouraging to ship
pers, yet they seem willing to face the
music and continue on their journey. No
detention to shippers in forwarding their
stock.

MOnPyIPSS Men

OF the party ''gay colored CHANDELIERS
tried and fined in the Recorders Court last
Monday, twenty failed to make the neces-
sary connection in pecuniary point Of view,
and were therefore kindly furnished an OPP
portunity to work out the amounts assessed
against them. The fact that they now
work instead Of paying, indicates that the
winnings of the party just previous to their
capture were provokingly light. Beating
the game and beating rock are two very
separate and distinct institutions-the one
always glorious to the victor and the other
ever very provoking to the victim.
