A FEW reaeons why they should have tho
IA preference over all others:
1. Wheoler l. Wilson's Sowing Machine is
much simpler than any Of tho others; re-
quiring less than half th4i amount OF ma
chinery.
2. AS the result of this simplicity, this m a.
chine is much less liable than the others to
get out of repair.
8. Another rosult Of This simplicity is
greater durability. {
4. Another result is less friction. and. con-
eequently, greater ease and rapidity OF mo-
lion, with less noise.
8. And greatest of all, that it nsca no Shut
tic, and makes tho lock stitch.
| Il is the cheapest to buy the best, Buy the
bly, won reputation and independence
against a strong and bitter competition. For
more than twenty years has the Wheeler i
Wilson not only stood first and foremost, but
now stands the unIivalled Sewing Machine of
the enlightened civilized world. Buy the Ia
chine that has been thus tested and proved,
and then you are anre to get the best. For

a SHARP TRIOK.- Washington, o
few days ago, young man calling him
self Charles Charleston, was fined $3.50
for selling goods by sample. In default
OF payment he was sent to the George
town work-house. On I. arrival at the
work-house. the keeper read the commit
ment and expressed surprise that so gen
teel person as Mr.. Charleston should
consent to go to the work-house when he
could be released for 50. so. Charleston
perceived the error into which the keep
or had stumbled, remarked that he had
refused to pay the fine on principle, but,
upon reflection, he was satisfied that he
had better pay than be confined indefi-
nitely; 30 saying, he handed the keener
S3, and, when offered the change-fifty
cents-he told the keeper he might have
it ip consideration of his courteousness.
Charleston has not since been heard of.

The Columbia Union.

The editor and proprietor of the Daily
Union OF Columbia, is now issuing a
Weekly paper, and promises "to devote
i, to the material interest Of South Car
olina," and "not to offensive partizan-
ship" This is eminently right, and We
hope Mr. Carpenter will make it such.
Aside from it's peculiar politics, and more
particularly the disposition so eagerly
manifested to catch at and disseminate
broadcast every idle and vicious report
which the unprinciplcd get up, the Daily
Union is ably edited and managed, and
shows an industry in gathering news,
which makes it in the main very inte:-
~ es,ing, and the same energy and tact be-
slowed on the Weekly, will make 1t as
readable as the best. There are excep'
sioas to all general rules, and therefore,
all is no, fair in war.

on The finances, sterling fund bill, the

was agreed, says the News, that tn"
convention would be productive Of good,
provided it did not pa!,ake Of q political
or pa.tizan character, and the hope was
expressed that such would be the case,
snd,thStthe body would con6nc itself
strictly to the purposes for which it Is
convened" We believe that this hope
SO entertained generally, and that the
body will meet and tempc'a,ely discuss
the questions as u llcrstood in the plan
