A FEW reasons why they should have the
n preference over al others:
l. Wheeler Wilson's Sewing Machine is
much simpler than any of the others; re-
quiring loss than half tho amount OF ma
chncry.
2. AS tho result of this simplicity, this m a.
chino is much less liable than tho others to
get out Of repair.
3. Another result Of this simplicity is
greater durability.
4. Another result is less friction, and, con-
sequently, greater ease and rapidity of mo-
Lion, with less noise.
g. And greatest of all, that it 1ses no Shut
tlo, and makes tho loci; stitch.
1t is the cheapest to buy the best. Bny the
machine that has justly, fairly and honora-
bly, won q reputation and Independence
against strong and bittor competition. For
moro than twenty years haa tho Wheeler &
Wilson not only stood first and foremost. but
now stands the uniivallod Sewing Machine OF
the enlightened civilized world. Buy the ma
chine that has bceu thus tested and proved,

A ve.y Unw.lcome Visitor.

The burglars had been very active and
bold in their operations in our city, but
as the thermometer had marked above
the nineties for several days. had little
OF value in my room, and I preferred to
risk that little and leave my window
open, although of easy access, rather
than undergo partial suffocation. If On
unlnvited guest made his appearance,
and did not awake, he would not dis
turb me; if I did awake, could feign
sleep. and let him take whatever he
might find.
'"rhis class of visitors" I reasoned
with myself. 'do not generally commit
personal violence, if they can accom-
pllsh theft and make good their escape
without it,"
Theee were my reflections every night
as undresHed and threw myself on the
bed, leaving my castle open to the enc.
my. had slept one night about an
hour, when was awakened bv the fall
ing OF small China ornament; starting
slightly and opening my eyes, I saw the
gas burning nnd tall, broad -shouldered
man. with his back toward me, his face
looking over his shoulder to see whether
the noiso had awakened me. Our eyes
met, 80 that the plan Of feigning sleep
would have been useless. What fol-
lowed illustrates the value of presence of
mind.
Opposite the side Of my bed, and
about eight feet from it. was the door of
my room, two or three feet from which
were stairs leading to the lower hall.
The burglar must have used ladder in
ascending the roof, from which lie en-
lered the window. It was some thirty
feet from the ground, and isolated. NV
plan was not only to escape harm my
self, but to capture him. T knew the
policeman's beat, and he would pass it
in q short time.
Sitting bolt upright, then, as I opened
my eyes and saw the burglar looking
very unpleasantly at mo, said, rubbing
my eyes drowsily-although, to tell the
truth. I was frightened nearly out of my
life: "Halloa, John, what are you look.
ing for? Can't you come into my room
without making such confounded
noisef''
The fellow, taken somewhat aback at
being addressed in this way, said in
low but menaoing voice, and pointing q
revolver ut me:
,o.gs shut up! What DO you take me
II took you for Johnr' T replied, with
well-assumed nonohalance.
but l didn't suppose he was after
anything valuable in my room, except
one thing, and-by the way, if you are
not the luckest fellow in the world"
"How's that?" growled my visitor.
"Well, have very good watch; but
il you want to get it, you must pay
visit to the watch-maker's, after YOU
leave here, for I had what I considered
the bad, but what seemed the good, for
tune to break the main-spring, yester-
day. and left it for REPAIRS"
"You are precious cool one!" said
he. evidently astonished at my indiffer-
ence.
"What's the use OF getting excited or
attempting to resist you? You are
armed. and you see I am not. And if
you had no weapon. your fighting

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN
KENTUCKY.

CINCINNATI, Feb 23.-Thc passen-
ger train coming north on the Louis
vile and Cincinnati short line rail-
road, due at Covington at n P. NJ,
fell through the bridge three miles
north of Elliston station. Sixty-hve
passengers were on the traln' and
it is reported that all were more or
less injured, and several killed.
The bridge was an iron and wooden
one known as the Finck suspension
truss. 1t was twenty-five feet high
and seventy IL span. IL rested on
two stone abuttments, and had been
considered safe. The train reached
the bridge at 1920 a. NJ, running
about 90 miles per hour. The loco
motive passed over safely, and the
structure went down with the express
and mail car, pulling all together in
one mass of ruin below. The front
passenger car was reduced to
splintcrs. while the others Jared but
little better. The fragments of the
front car were soon in flames, but by
the prornptncsS of Dallas Pullaln, the
engineer, they were >ubdued. About
sixty-tive passengers were on board.
OF this number two were Killed aud
iiftv-two wounded.
Surgeons and supplies went from
Covinston at one this afternoon, and
a locomotive followed with other
surgeons. A short time later the
wounded were cared for and placed
in cars. Passengers say the wounded
were hcaped in a horrid mass, and
that the scene following was exciting
in the extreme. The wounded pas
scngers joined with the citizens from
the surrounding country and officers
of the train, in the work of extrica'
ting the bodies. The killed were
John J. Brook, of Sparta, Over
county, Ky, and Harrison Julian

CLAIMS AGAINST ENGLAND.

The United States set up claims for
damages against England under the
the following heads:
l.. For the obstruction by COnfed-
crate privateers of vessels belonging
to the United States, (2) for the dcs-
truction of merchant vessels and prop
erty, (S) for personal damages or ill
~juries growing out ofthc destruction
of the vessels above referred to. (4)
for national expenditures in pursuit
Of cruisers, ~ for losses i'll the trans
fer of the commercial marine of this
country to the British, (6) for en-
HANGED payments of insurance by
citizens of the United States, (6) for
interest on all the sums allowed un-
der the foregoing heads from say July
LIST. 1873, to time Of payment; and (s)
for all the expenses of the %prolonsa-
ton OF our civil war through the eff
forts and acts ofthc confederate navy.
The claims under the last head is
what excited popular Indignation i'll
in England. 1t is fatty denied by the
Queen and people of England, that
this claim is embraced under the pro-
visions Of the Washington treaty. 1t
is estimated that damages under this
head all would reach the sum
of not less than $500, 600, 600 and per-
haps go as high $500, 900, 900. Cuder
the other eve heads alone ST, 900,
900 arc claimed. These demands and
especially the II Under the eighth
head arc regarded as unjust and I'M
reasonable cven by some of our lead
ing statesman, and it is not to be cX'
pcctcd That England will submit IL
them. Mr.. Disracli says that til,
American claims were greater thai
those which would follow a total con
;, quest: they were prepostcrous All,
iuipricticable, and if admitted woul,
