Comn1;mentarv round trip tickets have been

Complimentary round trip tickets have been
rendered to Gen. Butler, Mr.. Shepherd, Mr.
Richardson and other eminent gentlemen,
whose public services have entitled them to
the rest and relaxation of voyage OF this
kind. Parties desiring to make the round trip
will have extra accommodation. The entire
voyage will be completed, and the passengers
landed in New York again on the 18th of De-
cember, 1891. This is, at least, forty years
quicker than any other comet can do it in.
Nearly all the back pay members contemplate
making the round trip with us in case their
constituents will allow them holiday. Every
harmless amusement will be allowed on board,
but no pools permitted on the run of the comet
no gambling of any kind. All fixed stars
will be respected by us, but such stars as seem
to need fixing we shall fix. If it makes trou-
BILE we shall be sorry, but firm.
Mr.. Coggia having leased his comet to us,
she will no longer be called by his name, but
by my partners. N. B.-Passengers by pay
ing double fare will be entitled to share in
all the new stars, suns, moons, comets, meteors
and magazines of thunder and lightning we
shall discover. Patent medicine people will
take notice that

and paint brush along for use in the constel-
lations, and are open to terms. Cremationists
are reminded that we are going straight to
some hot place-and are open to terms. TO
other parties our enterprise is a pleasure excur-
sion but individually we mean business. We
shall fly our comet for all it is worth.
FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS,
or for freight or passage, apply on board, or to
my partner but not to me, since do not take
charge of the comet until she is under weigh.
It is necessary, at a time like this, that my
mind should not be burdened with small busi-
ness details. -

THE HOTEL OF THE FUTURE.-The follow
ing is the translation of an article in Berlin
paper, which will convey an idea of the Ger
man estimate of the coming American Hotel !:
The latest American progress in building will
be the "Mammoth Hotel" soon to be erected
lin Chicago. The enormous hotel is to have a
frontage of three English miles long, and
depth of six miles; the height of seventy y-seven
stories, will measure 3,490 feet from the ground
floor to the roof The hotel will have no stairs,
but five hundred balloons will always be ready
to take visitors up to their rooms. No room
walters are to be employed, but visitors will be
served by newly patented automatic, put up
lin every bed room, who will do all shaving,
ishampooing, etc., to the guests by very sim
pile and ingenious mechanism. Supposing the
guest requires hot water, the automatic will be
albe to call down stairs, "a bucket ofwater to
room No. 1902 107," and the water will be up
in seven seconds by patented elevator. Half
an hour before table d'hote, instead of the ring
ing of bells, gun twenty four pounder) will
be fired on each floor to call the guests to get
ready for their meals. The tables in the din
ing rooms will be measured four miles each,
attendance to be performed by twelve walters
on horseback on either side of the table. Music
during table dhote will be played -gratis-by
eight bands of seventy-seven men each. For
the convenience of visitors a railway will be
built on each floor, as we'll as telegraph Offices
The price of one bedroom will be from one
dollar to ten dollars. The cost of this building
is estimated to be $SO,OOO,OOo. The billiard
room will contain nine hundred American
ninety mine French and one English table, and,
most of the visitors expected to be Americans
the billiard room will be fitted out with spit
toon of one hundred feet in circumference.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CAROLINA
From the Washington Chronicle, a Republican
paper, we clip the following editorial para
graphs regarding the political condition of our
State:
'It will require many years and very radical
changes in public sentiment for the citizens of
South Carolina who still maintain their adhe-
sion to the old Democratic party to have any
effective participation in the control and des-
tiny in public affairs 1t is notorious fact
that there exists lamentabe state of corrup-
ton among many of the present officers of that
State, which is not creditable to either the
party nominating or electing them. The Re-
publican party Of the nation has secured and
guaranteed every measure of justice practicable
for the four millions of recently -enfranchlsed
citizens and in the exercise of these rights it is
due not only to the interests of the South and
their future control, but due the Republican
party that the greatest caution should be taken
in the selection and election of none but men
of pure character and tried honesty to Office.
1--WE are credibly informed that very large
majority of the whites of South Carolina are
willing to unite with the dominant party, and
elect honest, able men to office, irrespective OF
party lines, adopting square Republican plat
form. That this is absolutely necessary to in
sure reform and to relieve the national Repub-
lican party of the odium that has been brought
upon it by the present ofIice-holders in South
Carolina, every fair-minded Republican must
candidly admit. In South Carolina it is not a
question of Republicanism or Democracy; it
is one of good government and prosperity, OF
degradation and ruin. We say to the Repub-
lican party of South Carolina that it is bring
ing the question of its capacity for self:govern.
ment fairly before the American people, and
that patience without hope must in time be-
come exhausted We therefore earnestly sug-
gest the propriety of the majority in South
Carolina electing to Office the best men they
can find, irrespective of race or previous poll
tics"

Sewing Machine Sales, 1878.
THE table of Sewing Machine sales for 1873,
sl,n,,r Of tho salnS Were aS follows:

TIIE table OF Sewing NlaCnl1lC StlcS 1OA Ao'o,
show that the sales were as follows:
SINGER. 232,444.
Wheeler &, Wilson. 110,190.
Domestic 40,1l4.
Weed, n, 10y.
American Button Hole, 14,1S2.
The table shows that sales Of the Singer eX-
ceed those of any other Company, for the Pc
riod named, by the number Of 1l3, ,254 Machines,
or nearly double those of any other Company:
It NAV be further stated that the sales OF
1873. as compared with those OF 1877, sho"
relatively larger increase beyond the sales OF
other makers, than of any other year. For IN
stance in 1872 we sold $4,000 Machines more
than any other Company, whereas, in 1878, the
sales were
113,254 Machines in Excess OF cur Highest
Competitor.
These figures are all the moro remarkable,
for the reason that the sales of the principal
COMPANIES in 1873 are less than their sales IN
1872; whereas, as has been shown, our sales
have largely increased.
The account of sales is from sworn returns
made to the owners of the Sewing Machlne
Patents.
It will hardly be denied that the superiority
of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated.
At all events that their popularity in the house
hold is unquestionable.
