A MUCH NEEDED REFORM

A movement is on foot in the East for
the organization of a company, or series
of companies. with heavy capital, to
manufacture sewing machines at a cheap
er rate than the majority of the present
sewing machine companies charge. The
patents which protect and sustain these
sewing machine monopolies will shortly
expire. The machines, whose manufac-
ture has enriched adozen or more colos-
sal companies, though sold for $50 to
S125, cost less than s15 to $50 each.
When their patents expire, should they
fail through corrupt means to get them
extended-for it is only by corrupt means
that their shameful ~monopolies can be
continued-good sewing machines can be
bought for s25 to $50. ~
There promises to be an important
collapse in the price of other kinls of
machinery as well. Farmers are Just
opening their eyes to the fact that they
are, and have been for years, paying
outrageously extortionate prices for their
agricultural machinery. The railroad
war has brought ont a correspondent,
who has been investigating the actual
cost of certain farming implements, and
comparing that with the prices paid by
the farmers. The result is as follows.

New Orleans dispatch of the 18th says:
The steamboat Southwestern, which arrived

ring and important news from Grant parish.

not a negro to be found for miles around.

brisk fight was kept up until somewhere neur 3
O'Clock. Tn breastworks were then stormed
and ~captu0ed, the negroes taking refuge in the

caded. After some further fighting tho ne
groes threw out a flag of truce, and several

A FEARFUL EARTHQU A Il

THE CITY OF SALVADOR ENTIRELY DESTROYED.
The city of Salvador, IN Central America, has
been destroyed by ar earthquake. Eight
hundred persons persisted, and s12, 600, 900
worth of property was destroyed. The earth
quake was followed by a confagration, and
many buildings were burned. The following
are the particulars Of this terrible calamity, as
telegraphed from Havana: For a few DAVIS
light shocks OF earthquake had occurred, but
no serious apprehensions were entertained.
Ii was on the afternoon Of the 4th Of March,
about half-past4 4 o'clock, and almost without

heaved like a ship in the gallo; q terrific thun-

shattered and rent in many places with
wide c%revices, and roofs sank, and
tiles, ETC., were precipitated to the ground.
Lamps, pitchers, basins, glass, ETC., were
overturned and broken. Three violent shocks
followed in succession, and the servants COM

. LESSON FROM ONE ADVERTISE
NEWT,

\ a MENl.
&As illustrating the enormous army OF
idlers in Philadelphia, it is stated that q
simple advertisement of three lines in a
recent issue of the Ledger for a clerk in
a railroad office was answered by nine
hundred and eighty:fve applicants for
the place. This occurrence leads the
Ledger to offer q timely bit of advice to
parents on the prevalent folly of bring
ing up their boys to the genteel occupa-
tions, and sending them out in the world
without any other trade OF occupation
by which they can earn an honest liveli-
hood There is no social error more
prevalent, and few that are more lament
able, than that of the fond, indulgent
mothers and short-sighted fathers who
allow, and sven encourage, their boys to
grow up in total ignorance of any other
business than that which they may &C
quire in the counting-house or the sales
room. Gan such parents or guardians
can see from the number of applications
for one clerkship sent tolone advertiser
in one day a fair indication &C the num-
Der Of clerks, or persons who desire to
be clerks, who are yainly seeking en-
ployment in that capacity. There is a
fearful excess of young men, and indeed
of men of mature age, who desire to go
into Offices OF stores to write, or to "do
anything" as some of them express it.
When such persons get out of employ
'ment they generally have long and weary
waits-month after month and year after
year-before they can get other places,
for the reason indicated in the above
fgures-there are a thousand persons at
hand to fill any one vacancy that occurs.
No one should bring up q boy SO that
his only or chief qualification for useful
employment in his manhood is his fit
ness to act as clerk, book-keeper, or at
tendant in an Office or store. Nine
times out of ten the boys and men SO
brought up lead lives of disappointment
and penury." Every large city swarms
with young men seeking employment as
b~ook-keepers, clerks, and other so-called
"genteel" occupations.

This gives a profit of s497 on 5000
worth Of machinery. Is it strange, then,
that our agricultural population are
chatting under the extortions they are
compelled to undergo, and have deter
mined to foster and sustain manufacto-
ries in their own midst, which will sup
ply them with what they need at a reas-
enable price? The wonder is that they
have not walked up years ago and shook
off this terrible incubus of extortion that
has SO long oppressed them.

l. TIN superiority of American locomo-
tives is thus frankly conceded by the
London Engineer, which, commenting
on the unwillingness Of British railroad
men to adopt improvements, says:
at is beyond question, be the cause
whatit msy, that the locomotive engines
used in the United States cost less
money and do more work than English
locomotives. No English locomotive
superintendent has ever proposed, how
ever, to build nm engine from Yankee
patterns and built O an English line.
The thing would be contrary to all pre-
'cedent, and, therefore, it is not DONE" 2

not want to take their extra salary grab: to
turn over the amount to the completion of the

monument. The frantic appeals of the New
