A street Incident.

We gave them lots of red hot fun,
= And some to spare, sir. expect
q Ip one week more my time was up
You see how was neeked.
.Wait till FIX up this machine,
I'm tired of grinding that old air,
You see my chum young and green.
And put himself right in my care;
Though full of ght as any one
Who slung musket there.
a And glory, that was all his cry;
He got it, too for on that day,
Ere half the hattie had gone by,
Face to the front, all cold he lay
And quite lucky thing for him,
often think and say
- Poor Charley Thank you. ma 'am,-you see
** Our fellows gave a splendid charge;
Whiz then a Mimic struck my knee
This lump of lead-'Taint extra large;
just then another took my
OF course that settled me.
Some days wish I'd gone as we'll

What I've been through, no tongue can tell
Wanting meal to eat is rough.
For his Politicians, Uncle Sam

- Let alone his Soldiers That tune takes,
There's something in it stirring. grand,
Somehow the crowd it always wakes;
No better air ever planned.
They don't forget us after all -
God bless that sweet, white hand
But for this music,box, guess
I'd hare TO give it up and die.
Proud that served my country ? Yes,
I don't go back on that-not
Though for the glory of it-well-
You're off, old boy Good bye!'

When you are asked to buy Sewing

questions like the
following;
What can be the reason for advising me

tcrcst in the matter?
If buy it and find have not the best,
who will he the loser? Will they, or can
they, give me all the necessary instructions
for using the Machine and keeping it in
order?
If I buy this Machine what assurance
have that can get it repaired without
much trouble should it ever get broken or
any part of it get lost!
Am I getting the Machine from a party
who is responsible and reliable, and will do
as he or she agrees?
1t is re,y natural, and a matter Of eonr~e,
that any one engaged in the sale Of any one
Sewing Machine will recommend that par
ticular Machine.

but if you buy the wrong Machine it is ex-
pensive; portion or all you paid for it

iments to get a good Se,oing Machine.

AN INTERESTING POLITICAL r

AN INTERESTING POLITICAL RI
NORA New York correspondent
writing on the 18th instant, says:
"Rumors come thick and fast from
Washington to prominent politicians
here that a new republican combina-
ton is on foot whereby, in order to
preserve the unity Of the party, Gen
eral Grant and Mr.. Greeley both are
to be dropped at Philadelphia and
some new man taken up. The over
lures to that end are sufficiently def
mite to excite considerable apprehen-
sion on the part Of the democratic
managers, and there is much tele
graphing in consequence between the
Manhattan Club, Fifth avenue, and
the New York delegation in Congress-
What it all amounts to we shall prob
ably see in day or two

THE PHILADELPHIA Coal TRADE.
The total production of all kinds
Of Pennsylvania coal for the past
week was 4S0,93S tons, and for the
wear 6, l56,379 tons, against 2,3l9,574
tons to corresponding time last year,
showing an increase of 1885, 65 tons
The Philadelphia Ledger says:
I'VE had a report a day or two
ago from an intelligent source in the
Schuvlkill region that a general sus-
pension at the mines about the first of
June was feared, and was not i'm
probable. The folly Of any such
movement is sufficient to discredit
the report; but as it is known that
the two months at which the men
agreed to work at the minimum basis
of wages will then have expired, and
the trade not warrantlng an advance,
there is some reason to fear difficulty
about the time named, though the
suicidal policy of suspension upon the
plea of wages, it is hoped may be
avoided. Those who can convenient
" take in coal in the interim may
perhaps, show wisdom in doing so.
THE SUPPLY AND PRICE OF Cor
FEE.-The New York Bulletin, con-
sidering the effect of the repeal of
the coffee duty, adduces some impor-
tant facts bearing on the present and
future of the market. 1t says:
"The stocks in the United States are
now all concentrated in the six lead
ing ports the interior is utterly bare.
But, owing to the three cents duty
still chnging to the article, neither
the secondhand dealers nor the re-
tailers will buy any more than they
can help until they can purchase duty
free two months hence. The whole
sale grocers will no doubt endeavor to
buy in bond, thinking they can afford
to lose interest, storage, etc, in pros
pect of being able to buy cheaper now
than after the first of July. We are
now on the eve of the dull season in
coffee, and must be prepared to see
quiet markets as a normal condition
until after midsummer. If, however
the wholesale houses take the hint
thrown out by the European mer-
chants of an inevitable higher ruling
of values later on, we may even dur
ing the present and next month wit
ness a good deal of animation in the
staple in this market
