WHICH IS THE BEST ?
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND

Of their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sic gears, while the Company which
claims TO have the most in use has only about
twice that number though having existed for
t,centy gears. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one per minute,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in need Of first
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 a machine of some
kind is really needed in every family. And
then again some say, 81 will get me cheap
machine now; it will perhaps do my work
at present, and / will learn to run machine,
and sometime will 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 DC in selecting a
family horse. See that it has a reputation
uneXceptonal see that it is made for endur-
ance; see that it is sound; see that it is always
ready TO go; see that it has no bad tricks; see
is in good health Sc that it will not need con-
slant doctort'lg; see that yon get one you can
depend upon TO do all the work, and do it
just when you need it done and above all don't
buy balky horse, nor balky machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and constant source OF trouble. Many of
what are called selling points in machine are
simply frivolous, and intended TO tickle the
fancy Of those who are sold. II is no great
recommendation in horse for family use that
it can walk on three legs and so useless tricks
in Sewing Machiue should be avoided -
Substantial exceIences only can stand the
test of time and use. The Howe Machine has
stood the test, and to-day over four hundred

gloss and freshness Of youtA. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so I'M
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which mako
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the ViSor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

10 give any speculations tonight in regard to
Sokles's successor. 1t cannot be learned that any
important dispatches have been received from
Madrid yesterday and to-day; and there is more
confidence in the ability of the Spanish Government
to carry out its part OF the agreement in regard to
the Virginius than there was Friday night.
II is still positively asserted that no. time has yet
been fixed for the delivery of the Virginius to our
naval officers, and that no place has been agreed
upon. The present opinion is that she will be taken
out of the harbor of Havana quietly by Spanish
of-war and given into the hands of one of our
naval officers on tho high seas, and that,
in this way. any possible interference by
the Cuban volunteers will be prevented. 1t
may be set down as fact that our
Government, with its latest news from Havana, does
not so much fear that anything will occur there to
prevent the agreement between the United States
and Spain from being carried out as that something
may occur in Spain to weaken the CASTELAR, Govern
ment. II that government can sustain itself for
few days. OF few weeks, against all intrigue and
brave whatever opposition may arise on account of
the unpopular character of the Protocol signed by
Fish and Polo, the late difficulties will probably be
settled peaceably.
News from Santiago de Cuba is looked for now
with great anxiety. Lieut. Chlpp, officer of the
Juniata, which is now at that port, has arrived at
Key West, and communicated by telegraph with
the Secretary of the Navy That officer said to-
night that he had transmitted orders for the points
of the dispatches brought TO Key West to be tele-
gTaphed tomorrow. and for the dispatches them
selves to be forwarded by mail. 1t is reported on
very high authority and very generally believed
tonight, that Lieut. Chip has informed the Gov
eminent to-day of the delivery of the surviving
Yuginius prisoners on board the Juniata,

A NEW VERSION OF THE CATASTROPHE
ARRIVAL OF TIE CREW OF THE LoCH EARN At
PLYMoUTH-MAJoRrTY or THE FRENCH CREW
ACCUSED OF CowARDIcE-sTAIEMENT or NIB
CAPTAIN OF The LoCH EARN.
LONDON. Dec. :, 1873.
The crew Of the Loeb Earn which ran into and
sank the Vile du Hayre have arrived at Plymouth
They were brought into port by the British Queen,
which took them off the Loeb Earn on the 18th ult
at which time she was in q sinking condition. The
account Of the Vile du Havre disaster given by the
rescued represents that the captan and second
mate of the steamer came on board the Loeb Earn
shortly after the collision and did not assist in saw
ing any of the passengers and that the majority Of
the French crew exhibited lamentable cowardce.
The captain of the Loeb Earn makes the following
sta tement Of the circumstances attending the col
lision with the steamer Vile du Havre:
After first sighting the steamer, and seeing that
she was coming dangerously near. tho captain of
the Loeb Earn rang the ships bell and ported his
helm The helm of the steamer was put 10 the star
board, but the steamer came right across the Loeb
Earns bows. The people in the first boat from The
French steamer did not say she sinking but the
captain Of the Loeb Earn, observing that the steamer
settling down, sent out his boats. Neither the
first French boat, nor the second one, which
arrived shortly afterwards, bringing tho first
and second officers of tbe Vile du Hayre.
attempted to return, but in spite OF
the expostulations Of all the crew who were left
board the Loeb Earn, and the threats of her mates
to fire upon them, remained alongside the ship. The
clothing of the French officers who reached the deck
of the Loeb Earn was dry, showing signs of their
having been in the water. Finally some English
men seized and manned one of the French boats ana
went to the rescue of those struggling in the sea
Only one Of the French boats crew assisted in the
rescue. The Captain Of the Loeb Earn considers
that the great loss of life resulted from the fact that
his vessel drifted suoh a long,distance from the
steamer after the collision before it was possible TO
shorten sail, from the hardness of the steamer ia
showing signals Of distress, aud from the miscon-
duct of her crew.
