The American, Washer !!
PRICE. $3.50.

AcA>AAsH4|oeSS'
The American Washer Saves Money,
Time, and Drudgery.
The Fatigue of Washing Day no
Longer Dreaded, but Economy, Eff
cheney, and Clean Clothing, Sure.
In calling public attention to this little
machine, few of the invaluable qualities,
mot possessed by any other washing ma
chine yet invented are here enumerated.
1t is the smallest, most compact, most port
able, most simple in construction. most cas-
lily operated. A child ten years old, with
few hours practice, can thoroughly compre-
bend and effectually use it. There is no ad
justing, no screws TO annoy, no delay in
adapting ! 1t is always ready for use 1t
is perfect title wonder 1t is minute
giant, doing more work and Of a better
quality than the most elaborate and costly.
Ono-haif of,the labor is fully saved by its
use and the clothes will last one half longer
than by the old plan of the rub board. II
will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts
at q time, washing thoroughly Ina word,
the ablution of any fabric, from Quilt to
Lace Curtain or Cambria Handkerchief, are
equally within the capacity of this LITTLE
GEM 1t can be fastened to any tub and
taken off at will
No matter how deep rooted a prejudice
may exist against Washing Machines, the
moment this little machine is seen to per-
form its wonders, all doubts Ct its cleansing
efficiency and utility are baui sh ed, and the
doubter and detractor at once BECOME tn
fast friends of the machine.
We have testimonials W ithout end, setting
forth Its numerous advantages over all 9TH
ers, and from hundreds who have thrown
aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which
have signally failed to accomplish the OBJ
ject promised in prominent and loud sound
ing advertisements.
1t is as perfect for washing as wringer
is for wringing. The price, another para
mount inducemert to purchasers, has been
placed so low that it is within the reach of
every housekeeper, and there is no article of
domestic economy thatwill repay the small
investment SO soon. ... ..# =

Loss OF CHURCH PROPERTY. 1t is
safe to estimate that the aggregate
losses ofthe several religious denomi.
nations by the great fire, by the de-
traction Of churches. schools and other
property, approximate So 100000
The Roman Catholics alone lose 81 >
500 900, and the Methodist $500, 900.
The Presbyterians lose probably about
S250.000. The other denominations
do not lose SO heavily, but the Con.
gregationalists, Baptists, Unitarians,
Swedenborgians, Universaists and
Israelites all lost valuable church
buildings In several instances not
only the churches were destroyed, but
all their members lost their homes
We see by our exchanges that the sew
eral religious denominations in various
parts of the country are contributing
Ilberally for the benefit of those of our
needy church organizations here, and
there is prospect that at least some
of the ruined edifices will ere long be
rebuilt = Chicago Journal

SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY.

The Hon. Daniel Hall, of Watertown
has been named by prominent Repubii-
cans and members elect of the Assem-
bly, as a suitable person to be selecte |
to preside over the deliberations of
that body at its next session. The
suggestion strikes US favorably, and we
believe it viii general y acqu esced in
by the Republicans Of the state. The
position is one Of honor and RESPONSE
bility, and no man who is not thorough
" competent to discharge its important
duties ought to aspire to it. 1t re-
quires honesty, patience, intelligence,
the strictest impartiality, and that
high sense of personal honor which
under all circumstances stamps the
man a gentleman. Above all, he must
possess the entire confidence of his
associates upon the floor, for it often
happens in the course Of legislation that
his decisions and his word must be the
guide and reliance of all parties. A
dishonest or unreliable man in the
chair has it in his power to pack COM
mittees in the Interest of rings and
monopolies against the people of the
commonwealth, and in various ways to
aid corruption and Unjust legislation.
In looking over the list of members
elect-a list hat is adorned by many
excellent names-we see no one who
combines so many of the requisite quail
ties for Speaker as Mr.. Hall. He has
just been elected for the third time by
majority of over six hundred in dis
trict that usually carries eight hundred
Dem ocratic majority, and it would un-
doubtedly encourage our friends who
live in such benighted districts to be-
stow this compliment upon Mr.. Hall.
