We have been using Wilcox & Gibbs Machine

family 1t has given perfect satisfaction in every
respect. The work done on it is no more liable to
rip than work done by hand with the same care
We have examined many other kinds of ma

saying we consider the Wilcox s. Gibbs decidedly
superior to any of them. LUCY H. GORDON.

CoLoRED DEBATING CLUB.-The
young men of Richmond institute have
formed debating club for mutual i'm
provement and requirement of knowledge
concerning the practical affairs of life.
The club meets monthly for debate upon
such questions as may be from time to

chosen to note the proceedings of each
meeting.
A meeting was held Saturday night for
the discussion of the following: "Re-
solved, That slavery in America was not a
curse" Messrs. NJ. T. Lewis and Alex

Messrs. w. w. Colley and James Robin
son the negative. A large audience of
intelligent ladies and gentlemen attentively
listened to the debate, which was con-
Quoted in strict conformity to the rules
governing in such cases. After the deba-
tiers had concluded their arguments, and
the judges had retired to make up their de-
cision, Miss Mamie Osborn was called upon
for some music. She took her place at the
organ and sang two beautiful pieces. The
judges then returned and decided the ques-
ton in favor of the affirmative, highly COM
plimentng both sides, however, for the
ability displayed in handling the subject.
The following is the question for the next
meeting: Resolved, That Sunday is only
from day break until dark" Affirmative

mont in that town. All the newspapers arn
unanimous in condenning tho nrbitrary conduct
of the Russian Government in tho matter,
though several Of thom admit that tho Russian
womon students often behnye in q manner dis
creditablo to their eex. One Of tho professors
Of the Unyorsit.y Of the town obscr7ca, in lot
tor to tho New Zurich Gazette, Tint the expulsion
OF tho women students from tho University will
probably bo followed by d large incroase in tho
number Of women BtudentB from other coun-
tries, aa German, Frencll, and English women
have hitherto been doterred from going
to Zurich for their oducation by tho
improper behavior Of the Russian
women who attond tho lectures thero. 4
correspondent Of tho Cologne Gazette asserts
that upward Of one-half Of tho Russian women
studonta at Zurich live disreputably, and that
consequently refusod to receive them in their
