Stedman's Patent Washer.

For overa quarter Of century the world
has been in mild pursuit of an invention
that would relieve the drudgery Of wash
ing day. Hundreds have been in search
Of it, but till now have found it not. A
perverse fate obscured the search and
denied the discovery.
Fortunately at last the long denied
boon is found. 1t is now more than prob
able that it will be rapidly summoned to
the aid of every housewife, and become
a desideratum in every household through
out the land.
Whoever examines the modus operan-
di of this novel and highly interesting
labor saving invention, stands confronted
by kind and weight Of evidence, abso.
lutely Irresistible.
He is impressed with the fact that il
differs from all other washers in this
grand respect, viz while those are oper.
ated by mechanical and physical forces
this is operated simply by natural laws
The heat by driving the steam and
water upwards through the pipes creates
partial vacuum beneath the convex and
perforated bottoms. To fill this partial
vacuum, the water at the top is forced
downwards with great rapidity by atmoS
pheric pressure. The triumph is sublime
There can be but one opinion. So rapic
is the circulation from top to- bottom, ant
vice-versa, that from eight to ten pals o
hot suds are forced through the clothes If
minute. In fifteen to twenty minutes tn,
clothes are cleansed more thoroughly ant
perfectly than by hand
Professor Branerd, Of Middlebur,
College, in speaking of it says: Philoso
ply has accepted the situation and becom,
the cheerful and efficient La1,ndreSS of tn,
nations, and hereafter the terror ant
drudgery Of washing day is sent to end

TO the less cultivated classes, who ar
, ever slow to accord to science the honor
Of her discoveries, aud can hardly belicv,
the evidences Of their own senses, o
that discovery so very useful and valu
able has been made, we say-you hay
but to give it a trial, only to look on an,

to mark its quick and thorough work, t
become convinced, and remain its war;
friend and firm advocate forever.

MR EDITOR Il have but little to sa
in closing this paper controversy, as "
have obtained an answer from your Bri
tol correspondent in answer to my repea
ed enquiry, How can the Mutual Life i
sure for nothing? We have it illustrate
in horse story, thus If man purchas
horse, and sells it for fifty dollars mo-
than ne gives, his horse costs him fif
dollars less than nothing Or in anoth
case, if he buys horse or a barrel
