of their Machines In use, although having ex-
listed but sir gears, while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
twice that number though having existed for
tceaty gears. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one pr mineae,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in need Of fra
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready to pay the full price at once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing an inferior ma
chine, At less cost, because machine Of some
kind is really needed in every family. And
then again some say, II will get me a cheapi
machine now il viii perhaps do my work
ut present and will learn run machine,
and sometime ! win get better" To all,
both high and low, we would say: When you
select Sewing Machine you should be as
particular as you need TO be in selecting
family horse. See that it has reputation
uuexceptional see TINT il is made for enattg-
aacej see lhatitis sound; see that tits always
ready to go; see laat il has no bad tricks; SEQ
that il can do all kinds of work see thai it
is in good health, 50 that il will not need CON
slant doctor'Hg. see that you get one you can
depend upon 10 do all the work. and do it
just when you need it done and above all don't
buy balky horse, nor bdlhy machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and constant source Of tronbe. Many Of
what are called selling points in a machine are
simply frivolous and intended TO tickle the
fancy Of those who are sold. II is no great
recommendation in horse for flmily use that
il can walk on three legs, and SO useless tricks
in Sewing Machine should be avoided -
Substantial excellenc;es only can stand tho
test Of time and use. The Howe Machine haa
stood the test, and to-day over four hundred
thousand are muse throughout the civilized
world. II is not sold at an adeaace Qf
Fifteen Dollars over New York Prices,
like some Of its competitors, but is offered on
such easy terms that persons Of moderate Ia
come obtain one by paying small monthly
insiallments, and thus IN time become pos
sessed OF Il machine thai IS not cheap in any
sense Of the word, but one that will earn ils
cost many times over aud be constant source
of relief aud comfort.

Rebellion n Virtue.

The South has its " Decoration day.
as we'll as the North Here we observe
the Both May. There they observe the
Doth of April. We honor our dead not
only for their bravery and devotion, but
for the cause in which they rendered up
their lives-for liberty, for unity, for the
preservation of the Republic. 1t is
curious to observe that the Southern dead
are honored in precisely n similar way
and for similar reasons.
There is something about this solemn
ceremony that disarms criticism and
softens rancor. 1t is very hard to in
dulge in philosophical questionings
while the mournful strains of n funeral
march are sounding i'll our ears, and
while the long procession of flower
laden mourners is vending its way
to the last resting place of brave
men. And yet one or the other of these
observances must be wrong not wrong
as a tribute of love and affection for lost
friends, but wrong as commendatory of
the services of the dead.
In the late ceremonies at Mobile thou
sands Joined in the line of march-young,
old. and middle aged-and in the ora
ton to which they listened after the dec
Grafton occurred these words:
.Our spirits arc yet agow with the memo
ries of the days when Lee led his dauntless
legions to victory and Semmes made the name
of Alabama" immortal. Battle fields bury
men, not rights. The principle for which we
fought lives yet in the love of Southern hearts
in the memory of the past, in the stories which
mothers tell their children at the knee. Lee

Mckay was sent back to Lieut.. Boyle's camp.
The distance being seventeels miles, it occu-
pied all night. At the dawn of day Capt Jack
and his band rode within one hundred yards
of the camp, where all were dismounted, and
charged on the camp firing into the herd and
herd. They left for the camp, and while
the men were getting under arms the Modocs
gave them volley after volley, killing four
soldiers aud one Warm Spring Indian.
rally was made and charge sounded.
BY this time Mckay and some of his men
had united and drove the Modocs into the
timber, capturing II ponies, pack mules,
Modoc Oeft OH the field and 10 mules, packed
with bodies. Before they retreated their
trail was covered. The Indians beat hasty
retreat toward the McLode range of noun
tains. Captain Hasbrouck handled his men
dexterously. He il now furnished with five
days supplies, but water being very scarce de-
tiers long stay in the field. Gen. Davis has
determined to keep them moving until the last
Modoc is killed. He thinks that the soldiers
gain greater courage when they have them OH
open ground.
Capt. Jack has but seven animals. He
had on the attire OF Gen. Candy, and took his
position as lordly as if he was "a Brigadier
General.
There were SO Modocs engaged. No squaws
were seen during the fight or by scouts on the
following night.
1t was a grand mistake of the Modocs. who
undoubtedly thought they could stampede this
force as they had stampeded the others, but
they met the Warm Springs. The warriors
started at the first fire as fast as they could
get their guns, trotting in on the flank Of the
Modocs, which surprised them. The cry
Warm Springs" went through the Modoc
ranks, and they were stampeded instead of tho
soldiers.
The latest accounts represent that the Mo-
docs are heading toward Van Bremers Noun
tain, closely pursued by the troops. 1t is be-
lieved that they are nearly starved out, and
are entirely out of provisions.

surrendered an untarnished sword. He sur
rendered the policy OF resistance, not the prin-
ciple."
When we come to celebrate the 30th
of Nav. and strew the graves of our
dead with floral offerings, words of
similar import will be used. Children
at the North and South are taught to
respect the memory of the men who are
thus honored, not for any individual
trait or excellence, but because they
died to preserve the nation on the one
hand or to divide it on the other. Thus
is AN antagonistic sentiment being in
stilled into the minds of the youth OF
the country. 1t is not pleasant to reflect
upon the consequences of such teach
ings. 1t is not encouraging to know
that the children of one section are
being trained to regard as just and
sacred that which the children Of an
other section learn to look upon with
horror and aversion. Such teachings
do not promise the restoration OF those
bonds of union which the thoughtful
and patriotic have hoped for when the
actual participants in the bitter strife
had passed away.
We would be glad to see the cere-
monies which mark this anniversary In
the South of another character, and that
purely one of affection and admiration
for brave soldiers, who exhibited the
courage and obstinacy characteristic OF
their countrymen and OF their section
leaving the cause in which these traits
were exhibited to the oblivion of a
patriotic forgetfulness. We speak in no
unkindness-in no spirit of sectional
selfishness but two principles so radi-
cally opposed cannot live in unison, and
as the successful one cannot be asked to
give way, we know no other alternative
than for the defeated to yield-not yield
their love, their respect, their gratitude;
but yield the cause, which cannot con-
Germ the dead, and having been aban-
doned by the living should not be
paraded as the basis of future strife and
discomfort.
Aside from this, a war for the division
of the Republic and the maintenance Of
slavery cannot be applauded by pos
terity. Gradually the existence Of
slavery in this country, as the system
formerly reigned in the South, is coming
to be looked upon as barbarism, shock
ing to civilization and at war with our
professions as nation. This sentiment
will grow, as it grew in England, until
the system of bondage prevalent in the
South up to 1861 will come to be looked
upon as the one dark spot upon our his
tory, deserving only reproach and con-
demnation. A cause, then, which had
for its reigning inspiration the contin-
uance of such a system cannot long be
regarded with favor or admiration, even
by those who were once loudest in it's
praise.
While the feeling of the world is one
of admiration for the courage displayed
by Confederate troops, it is at the same
time one of regret at the cause in which
such heroism was manifested, and the
quicker the latter is forgotten and the
former only remembered the better it
will be.-Erchange.

4 Practical Test.

A Danbury man named Reubens re-
Gently saw statement that counting one
hundred when tempted to speak an angry
word would save man great deal OF
trouble. This statement sounded lit
tie singular at first, but the more he
read it over the more favorably he became
impressed with it, and finally concluded
to adopt it. Next door to Reubens lives
q man who has made five distinct at
tempts Ill the past fortnight to secure
dinner of green peas by the 1st of July,
and every time has been retarded by
Reubens' hens. The next morning after
Reubens made his resolution this man
found his fifth attempt to have miscar-
ried. Then he called on Reubens. He
said
"What in thunder do you men by
letting your hens tear up my garden ?"
Reubens was prompted to call him q
mudsnoot, new name just coming into
general use, but he remembered his res
olution, put down his rage, and meekly
observed
Zone, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight"
Then the mad neighbor who had been
cycling this answer with a great deal of
SuSplclOu, DrOhe III again
"Why don't you answer my question,
you rascal 2"
But still Reubens maintained his equa-
nimity, and went on with the test.
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen"
The mad neighbor stared harder than
ever.
3" Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twen-
ty, twenty-one-"
You are mean skunk" said the
mad neighbor, backing toward the fence.
Reubens' face flushed at this charge,
but he only said:
Twenty-Five, twenty-three, twenty
four, twenty-five, twenty-six--"
At this figure the neighbor got up on
the fence in some haste, but suddenly
thinking of his peas, he opened his
mouth
1" You mean, low-lived rascal, for two
cents l could knock your cracked head
over barn, and L would"
" Twenty-seven, twenty-eight," inter-
rupted Reubens, twenty-nine, thirty,
thirty-one, thirtytwo, thirty three"
Here the neighbor broke for the house,
and entering it violently slammed the
door behind him but Reubens did not
dare let up on the enumeration, and so
he stood out there alone in his own yard,
and kept on counting, while his burning
cheeks and flashing eyes eloquently
affirmed his judgement. When he got
up into the eighties his wife came to the
door in some alarm.
Why, Reubens, man, what is the
matter with you ?" she said. "Do come
into the house."
But he didn't let up. She came out
to him, and chung trembling to him, but
he only looked into her eyes, and said /:
p" Ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety
five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety
eight. nlnety-nine, one hundred-go
into the house, old woman, or I'll bust
ye."
And she went.-DanJuy NcDs.

1t is insisted at the State Department that
the charges against Gen. Van Buren,. Commits
sioner-General to Vienna, who denounced
Minister Jay as a COW ardly knave or liar, have
been proven. 3ec ,etary Fish is very severe
in his criticisms upon the course of Van Blu

Buren, was guilty of several, if not all, the inn
proper acts charged against him.
1t is announced that the weather reports OF
the Signal Service Bureau are to be supple
mented by daily reports of the water gauge OF

case of flood, or any sudden movement, the
