TO THE PEOPLE OFF VIRGINIA.

TNPREsENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
II the INST time in an extended way, the +. +
lFAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
It was tested by able sewing-machinists and by
them so pronounced :
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing-machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1860;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock-stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been SO ripid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a woman's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just little darling,n and so
easy to learn. aaT
Sold on the instalment plan, if desired.
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free.

count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-

There is no better illuStra-
ton that brains will tell
against all the advantages of
the schools than the difference
between Greeley and Grant.
Grant, when a boy, was taken
by the United States Govern
meut, which sent him TO the
best SchoOl-WeSt Portland
educated under accomplished
teachers in all the elements OF
an English and classical edu-
cation. Horace Greeley was
a child of penury. All the
schooling he ever had was in
the humble sch0ol-house OF
New England. When twelve
years old he entered the prin-
ting office, and from that time
educated himself. Now the
man whom the Government
favored, upon whose education
it spent its thousands Of dol
lars, is intellectually a dOlt
and an ignoramus; while Mr..
Greeley ranks among the best
scholars in the country in all
that constitute real, practical
scholarship.
