Peck's Sewing Machine.

A Mr.. Peck had long entertained the
idea that he could invent self acting
sewing machine, and he did. He pro.
cured a steel ribbon spring abou, twenty
feet long, and OF sufficient power to run
horse car. This he rigghd on his wife's
sewing machine with lot of clockwork,
and it appeared to him, when he finished
the job that evening, that he had realiz-
cd his hopes. II any sewing machine

Mrs Peck aroused him, aud told him to
listen to the burglars in the house. He
listened and heard a most terrific racket
IN the sitting-room. 1tappearcd to him
that there must be million burglars
refreshing themselves with prize:f. .;ht
So he loaded his gun, crept softly over,
and peepcd through crack in the door.
1t was not burglars, it was Mrs Pecks
sewing machine. Thepeg had slipped
out and that spring was having full
play. 1t would rear the machine up on

entered the room, it few at him, and
tore in and out between his legs, the
wheel revolving like lightning all the
time, and the spring gradually unwind
ing. And then Peck retreated and the
family all got up aud got mattress off
the bed, with which they covered the
machine, and sat on it for while, but
finally pushed it out Of the window into
the yard, where Peck piled boxes and
ash barrels and slop buckets aud fence

DEATH IN THE D5ANGND
FIELDS.
GAMBLING AND SUICIDE.

\ melancholy case Of suicide oc-
curred at Du Tolt;s Pan on Thurs
day night last. \ gentleman OF
the name Of Martin Hartman, q
native Of Germany and formerly a
captain in the American army.
shot himself about fifty yards from
his tent. Deceased was thirty. six
years OF age. 1t appears that lat
terIy- he had been gambling to
considerable cxtcut, anl finding
h!mscIts short OF means for continE-
ing his practices, he drew upon
his brother, a merchant in London
to the amount Of about $40. The
drafts: it would seem, were either
dishonorcu o: he feared they would
be dishonored, and the disgrace
which was sure to follow SO prey
ed upon his mind that he became
detected. and resolved to put al
cui TO himself. In this mclan-
choly frame Of mind he is said to
have entered gambling hell Oh
the night in question, and in Il
state Of desperation staked his all
we believe about ei0-whlvh
he had previously kept for the
purpose of enabling him to return
home. Like too many more un-
fortunate and dcluded young men.
he lost his all, and-he was desti-
tntc. He then proceeded to i
friends tent, borrowed & loaded
revolver, placed the end Of the
barrel to his mouth and blew
his brains out. This is a sad, very
sad case; but we trust it will prove
a terrible warning to the young
whose tendencies may be in the
same direction as were those Of
poor Hartman. Gambling proved
his ruin. Had Martin Hartman,
whose death we now record, not
entered upon the llte OF q gambler:
he would be still have been in the
land Of the living, q respectable
and perhaps useful member Of
society. Let those who arc a.;
present being insiduously led
away by the infatuations insepa-
rablc from gambling, have the mo-
raj courage to accept this note Of
warning and act upon it. The
deceased was buried yesterday
afternoon, his remains being fol.
lowed by three of his late friends
to the cemetery, where a portion
Of the Church Of England service
was read by the Rev. Mr.. Rick.

IN THE CRATER.
EXPLORING TESUvICS-WHO DID IT
-UOW THEY WENT IN AND HOW
THEY DID NJ COME OUT.

In a late letter from Naples q
correspondent Of the New York
Sun tells how, in September last.
two tourists, an Eny!ishman and
an American, obstinAtely dis
regarding the entrcaties Of their
guides, insisted upon being lower
ed down into the dark cavcrns
Immediately under the orifce Of
the crater Of Mount Vesuyius, and
those daring tourists have not
since been heard of. When tHe
news reached Naples, that city
was filled with horror, and for
weeks succeeding the disaster few
tourists ventured to the mountain.
Recently similar calamity occur
eli, and almost under the same
circumstances. The victims in
this instance were Jean lie Mieux,
Belgium, and Louis Schmidt Of
Bernc, Of Switzerland. They were
remaining at respectable l0canda
or boarding house on the Chi$a,
when a party was formed TO make
the ascent together, and it is
strange that on the morning Of
the night when they started for
Rcsina, Ca village at the foot Of
Mount Fesuvius where horses,
statfs, anG guides are procured,) }
Schmidt received i letter from his
sister, at Genoa: IN which she stat
ed that it would not reach Naples
Iong in advance Of herself. Schmidt
therefore begged his companions
10 release him from his promise
to start for Resina that night, but
as he had projected the excursion
they insisted upon his going.
Schmidt, after making arrange
ments with his landlady for the
reception Of his sister, started with
his companions on Tuesday night
for Vcsuvins. They left Resina
at one in the morning so that
they might reach the base Of the
crater in time to witness the ris.
ing Of the sun above the peaks Of
the surrounding Alps and Apen-
mines. Having reached the end
Of their romantic journey-the
summit ofthc volcano-cverythlng
, was quiet as upon some secluded
rustic hill, and lie Mieux coilcd
upon any of the party to join him
in going down the crater. The
guides are always provided with
ropes. either for that purpose or for
assisting cumbersome travellers up
the last portion Of the steep ascent,
Schmidt agreed to accompany Lo
lIieux, and in spite Of the re-
monstrances e.: their guides each
took hold Of 4 loop aud swung
himself over the gloomy void
whence issued tremendous showers
Of ashes and streams Of lava which
buried in single night the famous
cities OF Pompeii and Hercaianeum.
The guides cautiously lowered
! them down until the rash adventur.
crs announced that they were
standing on firm ground. The
guides last warning to them was

REFORMED CARD PLAYING.-Thc
Springfield Republican was shock
ed beyond measure, the other
evening, on going into the reading
room OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, to see a company
of immortal beings: ranging in age
from sixteen to thirty-fve, playing
a game of cards! Yes, they were
genuine pasteboards. But our sur
prise grew intense as we saw in the
place Of the Jacl-that little devil
and the queen, and his pichald
majesty the king, such prosaic
creatures as John the Baptist,
John &. Whittier, Miles Standish,
and others. 1t panied US to sec
John the Baptist-whose raiment
was Of camcis hair and " hose meat
was locuSts and wild honey
ministering to youthful! dissipation,
All! we sigh for the past, when we
used 10 retire from the too close
observation of our fond parents to
enjoy q good game OF High-Low-
Lov-Jack in the haymow. Ont
upon such calls over the table as
"Tale of two cities.'' "The last Of
the mohicans," &c! Give lis the

to enjoy themselves over those
regenerate cards, that evening.
