FAcropY ponr, W.. June TO, 1879
NJ. Editor.
Much has been said and written IN
regard 70 sowing machines, all claim
ing aud representing their machine the
best. Now this cannot be true. Facts
will show for themselves Although
an agent may have $40 or SI2 at stake
in the sale Of a machine it does not nee
essarily follow that il is his duty to
make it appear 70 his customers that all
other agents arc a humbug, for we
know that there are many good ma
chimes now in use, most of them having
points of superiority-somo it ia true
have very few. But to settle this ques.
ton the writer respectfully invites all
who are thinking Of buying o mach c
TO call at his place Of business and ex-
anime for themselves ,ash he has on hand
a sample and will give you the priv.
lege Of trying and comparing. One
great point Of superiority and one Il at
should be looked after by every one
wishing TO preserve their health, is tho
motion Of the foot, not the greatest mo-
ton but the least is the best, os it has
been decided by the medical authoriti $
that too much motion Of the feet while
using a sewing machine soon causes
spinal difficulty ; also most Of the OPP
orators at the present day will bear
witness to this fact We think it worth
the consideration Of all. The Domestic
wherever it has been introduced has
siyon seno4ol satisfaction, but Ito reo
u~tation is very limited, it being a new
machine, having been patented in Jan.
1871. Those who have tried them are
ready to acknowledge that they like
them best. These arc the ones to be
relied on as giving facts to the public,
which is much needed. Mrs. Robert
Ames, Mrs, Henry ]. Kelley, Mrs,
Marshall Hosley Mrs. Jacob Bennett
who has resumed the dress making
business at her old stand, and has tried
different machines now in use-aro
prepared to give information in regard
to what they know of the Domestic or
others. The people will have these
machines as o al they find out
what they are, for, although they are
the largest family machine in the
market, they run very light and easy
and make but little noise. They are
well adapted to the manufacture Of
leather gloves and mittens. Having
neither gear norcams, but a direct
connection of the main shaft with the
needle bar it runs strong aad has but
machinery to get out Of order.
Please try them for yourselves.

The hardest rap Senator Sumner has
received on account Of his great speech
against Grant, is from his old lifelong
friend Garrison, given evidently in sor-
row rather than anger, but it reflects
the sentiments Of q great majority Of
the best men in the Republican party,
as shown by the uuanimity and en-
thusiasm shown at the Philadelphia

Those dry but useful people vino
delight in statistics have been inves-
tigating the effect of marriage and
celibacy on mortality. They have
demonstrated to their satisfaction
the beneficial effect Of marriage upon
longevity. The last person who has
devoted his attention to this subject
is NJ. Bertillon. His statistics cover
rshe States of France, Holland and
Belgium. According to NJ. Betillon.
between the ages of 90 and %. out of
l 1000 married men there are 6 deaths;
ont of 1000 bachelors 10 deaths, and
1000 widOwers % deaths. Between
30 and 80 the deaths in the same
number are: married men Z, bachel-
ors II. and widowers II. Between
30 and 40 years of age, the mortality
per 1000 is: married men Z, bachel-
Ors -, and widowers II. Continuing
these calculations through different
series of Years. the advantage on the
score of longevity is always On the
side of married men.

The New York Tribune, naturally
enough, derives some satisfaction
from facts like these, lin the history
of Presidential elections for the last
20 years: In 1852 General Scott car
ried four States, with 40 electoral
votes. In 1860. with four candidates,
Douglas carried one State, and John
Bell two. In 1864 General Mcclellan
carried three, with q electoral votes.
In 1868 Governor Seymour carried
eight, with so electoral votes. Mr..
Greeley carries seven States-Mary-
land, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, louisiana, Georgia and Texas
with "A electoral votes, and with a
possibility of West Virginia, where
the vote is very close. The figures
of the recent election Show an extra
ordinary stEte of facts, some Of
which, as in PENNSYLVANIA, in Maine,
and other parts of New England, We
have already noted. These figures
indicate that fewer people supported
General Grant in 1872 than in 1868.
They show, too, to recapltulate the
past, that in spite OF the increase of
population and 5000 votes OF color
ell persons in Pennsylvania, Gen.
Grant has 3i9.5S9 votes now, against
342 $50 in 1868; in Illinois, go, 303
in 1868, against 2H.9 81 now, and in
Maine. in 1868. 70.493; in 1872. Co.
1J9. In Virginia. Governor Walker
had. in 1869. 101. POI. against 93.4l5
for Grant in 1872. In New Hamp-I
shire and Connecticut the official re
turns point to the same result. New
Jersey is an exception. The Tribune
argues. and perhaps correctly
enough, that Mr.. G~reeley's candi-
.acy IS not responsible for this state
Of affairs. Certain it is that the
thousands who remained at home are
responsible for General Grants large
majority of $4,000 in Maine, 5000
and moIe in New Iorl, 1871, 600 in
Pennsylvania. and 50 on to the
whole majority Of six or seven hun
bred thousand in the country.
Whether the Democrats in like mum
bers would have remained at home
had NJ. Adams, Judge Davis, or any
one else been nominated, is matter
Of conjecture. We shall probably
never be able to convince the Bour-
bons proper, nor the malcontents Of
4 different kind, nor any other class
OF opponents, that Mr.. Greeley was
the ri-ht man for Democrats to sup-
port: but without this. the fact re-
mains that he was not so badly
beaten as lIr. Clay, General Scott.
