THE QUEEN OF ALL SEWING MACHINES
In speaking of the merits Of the Wilson shut
tie sewing machine, II 10 sufficient for us to
say that we think the invention Of this ma
chine marks one Of the most important eras
In the history Of this country; and when we
consider the influence 1t has upon the social
well-being OF the masses, 1t 10 difficult to con-
ccive of an invention OF more importance. 1t
has beautiful, noiseless movement; II makes
the genuine "lock stitch" alike on both sides,
and does to perfection all kinds OF plain and
fine sewing; IL needs no commentator; Its
rapid sales, the increasing demand, and the
many fiatteripg testimonials from those who
have used 1t are sufficient proof OF ite merits.
The want OF a sewing machine is deeply felt
in every household, and as the Wilson shuttle
sewing machine, on account OF its extreme
simplicity and less cost OF manufacture, is
sold at Q much lower price than ell other first
class machines, 1t Is meeting with the extern
sive patronage 1t so justly deserves. Ma
chimes will be delivered at any railroad station
in this county, free Of transportation charges,
if ordered through the company's branch
house at 1877 State street, Chicago. They
send an elegant catalogue and chrome circular
free on application. This company want
few more good agents.

The Vote In Ohio.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of the
2Ist, is before us and contains a
table of the vote by counties in
the recent state election. That
for governor is complete, and,
with the exception of q few coun-
ties, official. These few counties
are semi official Before stating
this vote we will present some
figures from former elections
which will have an important
bearing upon the charges of fraud
SO loudly preferred by the De-
mocracy Immediately after the
late election.
In 1872 the vote for Grant was
28I, 1852; for Greeley, 244,321;
Grants majority, 1881. In 1873
Noyes' vote for governor was
213, 1877, or 68,015 less than Grants
vote in 1872. Aliens vote in 1873
was 214,654, DIT 29,667 less than
Greeley in 1872; and in 1873
Aliens majority over Noyes was
BIT.
In the late election Hayes re-
ceiVed 297,813 votes, or 5,961
more than. Grant in 1872, and SO,
976 more than Noyes in 1873.
Allen received 292, 1854, or Al, 493
more than Greeley in 1872, and
1850 more than he received him
self for governor in 1873.
From these figures it will be
seen that in the vote of 1873,
when Allen was elected governor,
there were 68,O15 Republicans
and 29,667 Democrats not voting.
There was, then, for the present
election that number of voters,
with a small natural increase, for
the candidates of the respective
parties to gain. Hayes, the Re-
publican candidate, gained the
Republicans who did not vote in
1873, and 5 .96l more, which would
not be an excessive natural in
crease in a total vote of nearly
100000 in three years. Allen,
with but 29,667 non-voting Dem
Ocrats, and a propOrtionate nat
ural increase to gain from. shows
the startling gain of 47,493 over
Greeley and 1850 over himself
two years previous. If any part
of Hayes gains were the result of
fraud, as Democrats ialleged, how
much greater must have been the
Democratic frauds? If we accept
Hayes gains as honest and allow
Allen a proportionate gain, in
Guiding 5,961 new votes in excess
of the non-voting Democrats of
1873, we still find that he has A.
982 votes to account for. Upon
what principle shall we account
for these surplus votes? Certain
ly not any principle by which we
are not to judge Hayes also.
With this surplus vote, a ver'table
sheep on their backs, and with the
Wood county affair so turgidly
explained, or not explained at all
Democrats will have to be little
modest in charging fraud upon
Republicans.

what Flgurea sax.

The Junction City Union is max
ing q gallant fight for that Just and
equitable enactment, the herd law,
and under the head the "Fence
Fraud" makes q perfectly convinc-
ing argument for the law. By fig
ures gathered by Hon. Alfred GRAY
for the report Of the Board of Ag-
riculture for 1875, the Union shows
that in the small county of Davis
alone, the fences of various descrip-
$4,000, . sum the interest upon
which would pay for breaking, say
5000 acres, of land every year. So
much for Davis county. But to make
the case still stronger, figures from
every county in the State are given,
showing that Kansas has expended
for fences $50, 3S9, 1856. On this, ST.
O00, 600 has been expended for rail
and board fences, "the first" as the
Union says, &c sinful waste of
scarce timber, the second q senseless
expectation Of money"
The great Anti-herd law argument
that the law is fatal to the cattle bu-
siness IL knocked perfectly cold by
the figures comparing fifteen herd
law counties with nine old-settled
anti-herd law counties and showing
that the percentage of increase OF
cattle has been much larger in herd
law than in auti-herd law counties.
In Washington county, which has q
herd law, the increase of cattle be-
tween 1870 and 1876 was 293 per
cent, while In Wabaunsee without
the Law, the increase was only SO
per cent, and so on through the
lisL-Com.

The Gaerman EmDeror.

William, Emperor of Germany
and King of Prussia, is a pretty
active old gentleman, considering
his age. He started last month to
visit King Victor Emmanuel Of
Italy, and only month ago he
was travelling throughout his EN-
pire holding military reviews and
receptions in all the principal
cities. The Emperor is in the
10Th year of his age. He was in
the military service of Germany
from his boyhood until 1858, when
he was appointed Regent of Prus-
STA. In 1861 he succeeded to the
crown of his brother, and since
that time Prussia and Germany
have written the history of Eu-
rope. The struggle with Austria
in 1866, made William the head
of the powerful North Germ
Confederation; the war with
France, inI870-7I, united Ger
many and made him Emperor
thereof. The old King was ac-
tive in directing all these move
ments, and since then he has Wis
tied the Gar of Russia, at St.
Petersburg, and the Emperor OF
Austria at Vienna. The Empe-
ror's late reception at Milan
seems to have been of the most
enthusiastic kind, multitudes OIL
people assembling st the railroad
stations to greet him, and the
streets being gaily decorated il
his honor.

fact that his wo.E has prospered

simply that 1t is better,-that Chris
tiany is preached more purely by
him than by others. 1t becomes re-
ligious teachers, then, TO find out
what he does preach, and how he

Mr. Chandler, the new Secreta-
ry OF the Interior, was born in
Bedford, N. H., in 1913, and was
for many years n merchant in
Detroit, Michigan. In 1851 he
was elected Mayor OF Detroit
and in 1852 he was an unsucc0ss.
full candidate for Governor. In
1857 he was chosen United States
Senator to succeed General Lewis
Cass, and was reelected in 1868
and 1869. Last winter Mr.. Chan
dler was q candidate for re-elec-
ton, but the Democrats uniting
with disaffected Republicans de-
feaLed him and elected Judge
Oh ristiancy as his successor.
Zach Chandler may be looked
upon as q strange selection for q
seat in the Cabinet; nay, his ap-
pointment may seem even bizarre;
But the undoubted integrity Of the
man officially, and his executive

DIR. Howard, medical superinten-
dent of the asylum for the insane
near Montreal, Canada, said re-
Gently in a public address that, in
his opinion, it is impossible to
successfully treat lunatics without
the use of alcoholic stimulants.
He had tried 1t thoroughly, and
found no medicine that could be
substituted for brandy-nothing
that would add in such q material
manner to the brain substance.
He said, however, that his theory
was not new, for the most ancient
writer's on insanity believed in
stimulation and applied it in the
treatment of the insane, but the
modern practice runs generally to
the use of sedatives. The asylum
under his charge, he further said,
had been open for the reception
of patients only about six weeks,
and that thirty-two of them had
already been discharged cured.
while upon his books were the
names of ninety-two more for
whose ultimate recovery he had
the most sanguine hopes. On al
of these patients he had nsed
brandy literally, and in every in
stance its effect had been quite
happy. He would recommend
brandy to every lanatic asylum in
the world and no stinted quaDti-
ties OF it at that.

Mo.sey,s srI.er.ble marriage

Tidings have reached New York
from private sources in England
that the we'll known poet and lect-
urer, Gerald Massey. is suffering
from alteration of the mind, and
has been placed in private ssy-
lum. To those who have been at
all familiar with the career of the
gifted and unfortunate poet, this sad
news will not occasion unmixed
surprise. In this marriage, as in
felicitous as Byron's. he has been
literally chained to q woman who
was once an Amazon, Media, and
Venus. His vsgaries ia the Spir-
ituslistic business are notorious to
all newspaper readers. In all OF
these eccenIricities he has been as
sisted by his wife. Together they
have seen visions of babies and dogs
and discovered that the bones of
the weird visitors were burned be-
meath the Massey 1hearthstone
These absurd visions he infinitely
described in the London Spiritual.
ist, and then his friends and we'll
wishers began to suspect that his
mental balance was shaken. A few
years since, it will be remembered,
he lectured in Boston and other
New England towns, on spiritual
ism, but the man had lost his mag
netism, and the lectures, as they de-
served to be, proved an absolute
failure. In point of fact, poor Mas
sey has been approaching insanity
for years. Most of Massey's latest
writings have been on the subject of
spiritualism, and his most intimate
friends have regarded every sue
ceeding speech or article as q near
er approach to lunacy.

INNOCENCE AND OBsTINANCY.-The

into the pocket of q staid old citi
zen as they were riding on the
street car. OF course, the old citi-
zen's wife made q dive for his
overcoat pockets as she passed
through the hall, and when she
had digested the love letter she
determined to commit suicide.
While going up stairs after her
bonnet she got mad and changed
her mind. Walking into the
room where he sat before a cheer.

"Loves you better than her own
life, ehr'

q dash for his hair.

most solemn oaths to his limo
ence; offered to let her employ q
