A WORD In REGARD
TO THE
Sewing Machine Business

THE SEWING MACHINE is one of the
greatest improvements of the age, and at this
day and age OF the world every family must
and will have one. This fact appears to be
perfectly understood by all Sewing Machine
Companies, consequently every company is
making every effort in their power to put
their machines forward, and to make sales as
rapidly as possible. They employ every per-
son they can get, and three-fourths of those
employed are not fit for the business, conse-
quently the country is now overrun with men
and boys representing themselves as Sewing
Machine Agents,and everyone claimingt to have
the best machine, when, in fact, they know
nothing about machines, consequently the
business has become a nuisance-it is over
done and oVerrun with unprincipled agents,
and almost every farmer breads to see one
stop at his gate.
But to lay all prejudice aside, the New Viii
son is the only First-class Machine in America
that is sold at reasonable price; price with
In the reach of every family. The New VIII
son stands to-day at the head as being the best
the simplest, the easiest to manage, the most
durable, and by far the cheapest. The Wilson
now costs $500 more to manufacture than anv
other machine in America, and is sold fol
S25.0O less than any other first-elass machine
This simply because it is not in the "Com.
bination." This machine is sold for Just wha,
it is worth, while all others are sold from
$500 to $4,000 more than they are worth.
The undersigned has been selling the vii
son for one year at his Grocery and Crocker1
Store in Fremont, and has sold Five Hundred
Machines, and nearly ali have been sold il
Sandusky County, and have never vet hat
an agent out soliciting sales or boring the peo
pie to buy. Every machine has been ordered
This, think, is the largest sale that has eve
been made in the county. This fact of itseI
is certainly sufficient evidence that the ma
chine is good one. All other companies hay
drummed and bored the people nearly t
death to sell their machines, and in very man
instances people have bought simply to get nj
of the agent Now, we claim that the prope
way, and the only way, to buy a machine, is t
lgo town and see and try all the machines an
select for yourself machine in the sam
way that you buy dress, or set of dishes
or dollars worth of sugar. There are mol
lsome six or eight different kinds Of SEWN
Machines represented in this, city, try ther
all, select for yourself, and do not be hun
bugged by agents, and nine out of every te

McXicO Looking Up.

The New York Tribune has a letter
from a correspondent in Mexico reitcr-
ating the favorable accounts of the
prospects of that country contained in
recent kilograms. Senior Lcrdo de
Trejlda, as already noted, signalized
his accession to the temporary Presi.
dcncy by wise proclamation of am
nesty, which has also been as wisely
accepted by all the Influential chiefs
of the revolutionary movements. The
announcement is also made that the
people are tired of war-it was rea-
sonable to suppose they might have
been long ago-and disposed to con-
centratc their efforts upon a govern
ment which shall represent the inter-
ests of the whole country. The cor.
respondent confidently asserts that
the election Of Senior Lcrdo is the best
means for securing this desirable end
How long. however, if we judge by
the past, are Mexicans likely to con-
tinuc in any such peaceful mood

Remarkable If True.

A remarkable case is reported in
surgical dentistry, which if it were
not vel! endorsed, would be unworthy
of repetition. A magazn ne entitled

tion, copies from an English paper the
statement that q member of the Oion

extracted Il tooth from a gentleman,
which had for some time been pain.
fully affected by changes Of tempcra-
ture. Alter the performance Of the
operation, the deeayed part of the
tooth was scr"ped from the crown, the
dental canal from which it was taken
cleansed, and the tooth put back in
its place, where, ut the end Of a fort
night, it renewed it's duty as u
healthy n,astioatur. For three or four
hours after the operation there was u
dull aching pain, which, however, en-
tirely ceased before noon of the fol-
lowing day, though some tenderness
remained. The Bns,on Tunes, in
giving credenoe to the report of this
remarkable case, says that n well
known dentist Of that city has, in
several instances, succeeded in the
same operation.

"Burying the Past"

To those Radicals who are under
tho singular hallucination that the
"burrying the past" idea upon which
the great body Of tho people are to-
lay uniting will include their MONS
'rosities Of the last seven years, we
will say that they are as far from it,
IS they will be from heaven when
their mustard seed souls take their
downward plunge. Their past can
never be buried never never! Not
even when this country shall bave
risen to the Development Of its glo
r'ous future. When this country in
the perfect ffuition Of political securi
y shall enj'y unbounded peace and
plenty, and our country flow like the
'and Of Palestine with milk and honey,
his uccur cd past shall lie beside us
bitter warning against anarchy and
military rule.
We can bury the war with its desc.
lations and horrors, because we sub.
mltttd our cause to the arbitramen,
Of arms and were defeated, and now
across the bloody chasm which contains
the mangled bodies of our best and
bravcst, we can shake hands with al
enemy who have suffered in that con-
flict as much and more than we our.
selves. We can .ccept every amend
ment to our glorious old constitution
as the results of our failure in the
mighty contest. We can recognize
tbs rights of every one as declared BY
law, and agree to sustain matters as
they are, but when it comes to crime
and oppression exercised without a
shadow of law or precedent, when it
comes to high.banded measures oar
ried out against law under threats of
Federal bayonets, there can be no
funeral for that, but the hour of reck-
oning, the day of retributive justice
must come, and thank God the dawn
of that day is upon US when Offenders
shall be brought to trial, and con-
demned under the very laws they
have made and violated-and the

be burying within the walls Of peui.

A Fatal Lake.

A Lake Tahoe co, respondent of the
San Francisco bulletin writes:
Sone twelve or fourteen persons
have been drowned in this lake with :
in the past ten years none OF tho
bodies have ever been recovered.
Superstition, ever ready to wave a
sensation from natures laws, asserted
that there was Il doubtful mystery in
the nUn.recovcry Of the drowned that
! in fact, monster had its abode iu
this fresh water sea, aud that the bod
! les all passed into his c~pacious nav.
The trnc explanation uf this mystery
never has been given. The non~ap.
pearance Of the bodies is due to three
causes {: The first is the great purity
OF tho water aud its consequent lack
Of buoyancy. Drowning is very easy
IN it, tor this reason, though I have
not while swimming in it found any
more than ordinary difficulty in sus.
tainin2 myself. The second aud main
cause Is due to the great GOODNESS Ct

season, the surface water is as cold as
the drihkcr desires it to be, but it is
warm thcre compared with it's temper.
a,urc at the depth Of one hundred to
two hundred feet. 1t is as cold there
as the arctic heat of an iceberg.
When body sinks in the lake to the
depth required, it is frozen stiff. The
process, Of course, preserves it, so
t. q the gas which originates in the
b dy from decay in other water is pre-.
vented, and distension checked. The
body is thus kept in state of greater
spacific gravity than the water in
which it is suspended, and thereby
prevented from rising to the surface.
The third cause lies in the great pres
sure of the pure water on anything
that Is sunk to great depth in it.
Corks placed Oh deep sea nets are
pressed down in week to half their
size, and one Of the oldest residents
Of the lake expresses the belief that
by the time mans body has been
suspended for week at depth of
about 200 feet Git is not likely that it
ever reaches the cavernous and almost
fathomless bottom Of the great lake,,
the compression of the water has re-
duced it's size to that Of child's.
Doubtless the idea Of uncoffined sus.
pension in such a "world of water''
is not pleasant one to contemplate,
but to be pressed into a solid mass
and suspended in a liquid coffin of ice
temperature is quite as pleas ant as
intermeut and mouldering in the
ground.
