At the Vienna Exposition the Singer
received the medal of merit, the medal
OF progress, and three other medals for
superiority of productions. These are
the highest sewing machine awards at
Vienna. The Singer received all the
medals awarded to either of the COM
peting machines, and two medals more
than any other obtained. Then in the
name of truth, what is 1t that prompts
people to claim recommendation for
the Diploma of honorl The fact is no
Diploma Of honor has been given to
any Sewing Machine Company.
But immeasurably mos.GrYaluable is
the worlds award as shown by sales
proved by sworn returns TO the owners
Of the principal sewing machine pat

by any other company during the same
period, and over one quarter of all the
machines sold In 1872. These eaor-
nous sales are owing to the long-tesed
merits of the Singer machines, which
meet the wants of the public in superb
orlty and simplicity ofconstruction and
capabllity for great variety and excel
lence Of work. That the users of sew
ing machines find these desirable quail

shown by the sales above given, aside

Judge Richardson of Gallatin refns
ed to allow Miss Phoebe COuzins TO en-
roll as an attorney In the Harrison
Circuit Court. Miss Couzins' auaiifi
cations as a lawyer are said 10 be of /
high order; but she is a woman, vol
know; the question of ability is moth
Ing; sex is everything. 1t is a splen
did thing to have great legal attain
ments, provided 1t Is man that has
them. Judge Richardson believes In
the masculine gender; In fact It Is Gen.
der that makes the lawyer. A babblino

suasion may appear before the couri

ignorance Is densest, and the courts
though full of disgust, still bear with

the inhabited sex, and Judge Richard.

REPLY TO "GI.g.NTS
WHILE WE RrEEL.o

The idea that We CLEAN from the ar
tiele in the SENTINEL Of the 10th in
stant, on this subject, leads us to be-
lieve that some OF our sisters are of the
opinion that the giant influence we
WELD, while kneeling under the weight
of oppression, heaped upon us by the
tyrant wrong surnamed man, is small
compared with what it would be were
the oppression ~ removed; could we
walk by the side OF father, husband or
brother, the rounds Of political life.
What mistake, my dear sisters
The influence We have ever cxcrted has
been rendered gigantic by this very
"kneeling." Paurs messenger was
chosen no doubt. because her "kneel.
ing" rendered her sacred from the
temptations man gives to man in posi-
tions Of trust.
Twas not when Napoleon, "witf
his own hand" placed the crown upor
the head of his beloved Josephine,
that he felt her influence most. Hel
power over him was in her charming
manner, her gentle words and irresisti'
BILE smile. Twas not with an air of one
in equal power, and "thus far thou
shalt 60 and no farther" that Josephine
approached Napoleon, upon an occa
sion when she attempted to obtain par
don for one whom he had condemned
to severe punishment for some breach
of discipline; twas a word, look, 0
smile, that won the poor soldiers par.
don; twas not on their throne but In
their drawing room.
"If In past ages her giant influence
has been felt, can our fertile imagina.
tions picture what is to be when she
gains footingP" Save us from the fate
What picture is made by the life oi
the few who have attempted to place
themselves on the sFPe political foot
ing with man, colored as that picture
is with the reception with which their
efforts are met by the good, pure and
wise of both sexes, especially our own.
What is the character of their infiu-
enceP Their experience should teach
us, my sisters, we are "giants" only
while we "kneel." AS is proven, too, in
her effort to destroy the evil the powers
that IL have failed to eradicate"
"hs the den lies longest and produces
most fertility In the shade so woman.
In the shade of domestic retirement.
sheds around her path richer and more
permanent blessings than man who is
more exposed to the glare Of public
life" A WOMAN.

CREMATION. Nv EUROPE

The question of cremation VS.. burial
Is being discussed both in Germany
and Switzerland. At Zurich 1000
persons have subscribed towards an
association founded in favor of burn
ing the corpses and thus protcction2
the salubrity of the town where the
grounds are becoming more and more
scarce. At Basel even the orthodox
clergymen, for similar reasons, pub
llcly favor the adoption of cremation.
As for Germany the reform makes
some progress, and is much discussed
in the public papers. The wcllknown
Berlin firm of Slcmons recently advcr-
tised the invention of n new furnace
for the intended operation. A propo.
sal has been made by one of the church
wardens of a Jewish synagogue II
Berlin to establish on new burial
ground which they have lately bought
one of the above named furnaces TO
families who would make use of 1t 70
their parents or other relations.
