We noticed yesterday several new
stove-pipe" hats on the street,
adorning the heads of prominent cti-
Zens. or course, they were not Sc
cured through bets on the election, but
simply presents from the friends of
defeated candidates.

elry.
The Express objects to our item
about its poets and "soft soap" and
attributes the cause to the moon or
the transit of Venus. Were we asked
to assign the origin of the soft soap,
we could easily tell it; but everybody
knows what the generously euphOn-
ic" compound comes from.
Our item about our friend Snodkins
and his boarding-house has elected
the following response: "The propri-
etor of Snodkins boarding house says
all her good paying boarders are
promptly waited on. Snodkins and
four or five of his chums don't pay
promptly-that's what's the matter.
Dead-heads at boarding-house are
always grumbling." Very good; but
this does not come from the right
house. Next!
We made an inspection of the sew
ing-machihe engine at the rooms of
Mr.. M. c. Baker yesterday. 1t would
require column article to give full
description of it, and we can simply
say that it is model of ingenuity,
compactness and fine work. The
whole apparatus is so simple in its
construction and so we'll adjusted that
a child could readily manage it. The
heat for supplying the steam is made
by four kerosine lamps and while 1t
furnishes motive power it also an
swers the ordinary purposes of q heat
ing stove. The whole cost of running
it does not exceed ten or fifteen cents
a day. The invention is so novel and
ingenious that it is we'll worthy an ex-
animation if for nothing else than to
satisfy ones curiosity.
