THE marshaling Of the long rows of

MIR. L. WEBB-AGENT HOWE SEwING
MACHINE:-I see in last weeks BULLETIN
an advertisement stating that "The genu.
tne Hosoe has NO Medallion Head" In
answering that, we would say that the
gentleman is safe in offering one thousand
dollars for an Elias Howe Medallion Head
Sewing Machine previous to 1854, as the
Trade Mark, or Medallion Head, was not
used until the organization Of the Howe
Machine Company, in 1896. 1t was
then adopted to protect the public against
spurious Hovu MacAsnes and impostors.
If Mr. Osgoood has any thousand dollars
to give away in case the Elias Howe
Medallion Head is not the original Howe
Machine, as invented and improved by
Elias Howe, Jr., you will please accept
the same for us. Yours, &C.,

GREELEY AND BRowN.--Thc meeting
at the Court House on Saturday evening
the 18th to organize u Greeley and
BrowE club was fairly attended and not
devoid of a certain kind of enthusiasm
The Court House was not flied, but we
should judge that $50 persons were pre-
sent, from q quarter to third of whom
were Republicans DR.. Bryant, was
called to the chair. The Conservative
alludes to the Doctor as IAN old timed
Independent Republican" but he is wont
to describe himself as IL man prone to en-
brace the weaker eide. 1t is needless to
add that he has followed his proclivity in
the present case. He made a few re-
marks, historical and photographed,
and concluded by introducing the orator
ofthc evening, S. P. Adams Of Dubuque.
We must confess that We were disap.
pointed in Mr.. Adams speech. We ex.
pectcd to hear calm, candid discussion
vi IuC piiHCIplCS lutOlVcu Ill tAc CaHFaSS,
and that Mr.. Adams would attempt at
least, to give good and tangible reasons
for his dcsertion of the Republican party,
to which he owes so much. But instead
of this his whole speech was but a dreary
the President, worn thread bare long ago
in the Democratic newspapers, It was
marked with the uncandor Of the dema.
goguc. and by \ vindictivcness which
proclaimed its author one Of the sorcst
70 sore-hcads.
We left during this part Of the pro-
grammc, but learn that d. D. HOldridge
WAS afterwards safely delivered Of q
speech understood to have been prepar.
cd for the occasion. Its general tenor
was, that the Rcpu blican party having
obsiinatcly refused to consult or defer to
his wishes regarding its choice for Presi-
dent. he had made up his mind as the
appropriate way to punish it for such
temcrity, to support the Democratic nom.
ince, Horace Greeley. He also an
nounced his magnanimous intention. in
other matters to continue to act with the
Republican party... He improved the op-
portunity for little cheap bunkum over
the fact, as he asserted. that his friends
had imtimated to him that he was pre-
pairing his political grave IF it is So
said he with Il theatrical flourish, "bring
on your winding sheet and coffin" This
was too much for Edgecomb who from
the shouting corner snuffied; "m Amen
brother Moore pray for brother Hold
ridge" bringing down the house, and
l-Ho!dridge.
The meeting was unattended by Other

"A "DINMICRAT," BUT NOT THAT KIND
In connection with the recent painfully
laborcd effort to procure names in this
county for Greeley club, an incident
was related to us the other day, which
Illustrates common phase of the diff
culties encountered in the undertaking
and the temper of large portion of the
rank and file of the Democracy in this
vicinity. The canvasscr for names, a red
hot Grcclcyite, as he was red hot rebel
during the war, approached Irishman
in the street with the inquiry if he was
a Democrat.
"Ycs," said Pat, "I'm Dimmicrat."
"Well, you will let me put your name
to call for Democratic meeting"
"A Demmcrat meetin'? Yes III do
that same, for I'm Dimmicrat"
Accordingly the name of the honest
son of Erin was added to the 224 (s)
others, not destined to Immortality
liz COtuuIuS Vi IuO 1JStAOCfiblC
organ, and the canvasser went his way
But the Irishman was not satisfied, and
turned to bystandcr for further light
regarding the Democratic meeting.
When informed that it was to organize
Greeley and Brown club, his indignation
broke forth.
"Horris Greeloys club? An dye call
that 4 Dimmicrat mectin'! Horris Gree
ley indeed, I'm not for the likes of him.
Where's the man that put me name

fatal practice OF carrying concealed wel4
pons. When men get drunk and fight
with their fists, teeth aud nails, it mat
ters comparatively little; but when q
man gets drunk with weapon concealed
about his person, TINT weapon is pretty
sure to be revealed in mischief and
blood. This carrying of concealed wea
pons. which seems to be daily on the in

active condemnation of all good people.
None but the coolest aud soberest men
should carry deadly weapons, and then
