THE HOWE SEWING NACHTNE.-The
following, which we take from the Lon
don Courier, England, is conclusive ev-
iGence Of the superiority of this perfect
sewing Machine:
Among the many who have been the
recipient of medals and honors at the
Exhibition ut Paris, none stand so high
on the list Us tn" celebrated inventor
and manufacturer of sewing machines,
Elias Howe, Jr. The Emperor, who
shows great tact and discrimination in
these matters, has made Mr.. Howe d
Knight of the Legion of Honor, and the
jury on Sewing Machines who had the
task of testing and awarding prizes for
excellence, unanimously decided that
Mr.. Howe was not only entitled to great
honOrs IS the inventor of the Sewing
Machine, but that he carried off the
palm as Il manufactures as well, and to
him was awarded, accordingly, the first
of the only two gold medals assigned to
this class.
The number who have called on Mr..
Howe, at his Office, Ga Regent street, to
offer their congratulations, prove that
many besides the Emperor and the jury
acknowledge the justice of the claim"

NAKED WOMEN.
& Strange but Respectable Way of
Making a Living.

In conversation with a prominent
member OF the Pennsylvania Acad-
envy of Fine Arts, reporter of The
Sunday Press learned most strange
things concerning the world of art.
He said it was extremely difficult to
obtain young ladies who would
adopt this business, and only upon
theme st sacred promises that their
individuality would not be revealed,
do they consent to take the posi-
ton. 'Indeed," said the gentleman,
"this rule is so well enforced that
there was one lady who appeared
before our class at the old academy
for fonryears before | came to know
who she was"
These nude, live figures only APP
pear before the life class of the acad
envy for sketching. FormerI y they
came before the gentlemen alone,
but in the new building both ladies
and gentlemen will stud together.
No one except the members Of the
class are ever admitted to the room
where they are studying from fig
ure, and only the best artists are ia
ken into membership in this myster
ious body. The model is never al
lowed to be spoken to by any mem
bers Of the class, and should any Of
the bold ones break this rule they
areimmediately and forever expelled.
Indeed, the whole proceeding
soon assumes an air Of business
that the artists, according to their
own statements, forget that the lady
who IS exposing her charms to their
gaze is alive. The ladies' who fol-
low tins strange mode of procuring
a living are in every instance respect
able. They are generally led to it
by the tempting offers OF the large
pay which is given for their work.
Oftentimes ladies' Of wealth, who are
proud Of their charms, and whose
vanity exceeds their prudence, act
in this capacity for some s1ilIful ar
list In the celebrated picture of the
Nine MUSES.. which created such 81
furore a few years since, the figures
there represented were Of living

What with two or three law

Court and an occasional tote team
in from the lumber camps, our
streets have exhibited an unusual
state of activity during the past
week and almost rivaled a grave
yard in liveliness.

Superior's most talented and estima-
bic young ladies, expects to depart,
next week, for Eagle River, Mich.

merce.
We don't 90 to the opera bouffe to

pleasant methOd of taking in the
science that | feei convinced it will in
time supersede all other methods of in-
struction. DR.. Ho mes admits that
since the advent of bio ude burlesquers,
opera bouffers, and black erookers, he
has much less difficulty iu making his
classes comprehend the m6uifold mys-
teries of the human frame. It is q de-
lightful thing to see these you pg men,
in their ardor for science, brave'y ire
quenting the theater nightly, notwith-
standing the numerous temptations 10
remain away. 1t shows that, let come
what may, they will not shirk their duty.
1t testifies conolusively. that they have
, made up their minds to find out all about
it. mean, of course, the mysteries of
anatomy. Candor compels me to state
that, with the exception Of Miss Soldene
herself, they will never have a better OPP
portunity Of periecting themselves in the
science than in the contemplation Of the
troupe now performing at the Globe.
A I'D the gradations of excellence among
them are very slight The pins of all
are nearly perfect. From this you
won ID naturally suppose the house to be
filled with medical students. There
were quite a number on hand, but they
were nothing to the mass of laymen.
| never before realized what large
element of amateurs there are in this
community who study anatomy with all
the zeal of professionals. There are
brokers on State street as conversant
with the muscles of the calf as DR..
Holmes himself They are mostly bald
headed, and invariably carry opera
glasses to assist their contemplations,
II is cheerful sight to see these mulitu'
dinous bald-heads in the parquet. They
make it glisten like skating rink. 1t
is enough TO move the sternest heart,
the thought Of these men, who. worn out
by the tolls and cares of the day. the
harassments and auxieties Of business,
still have resolution enough left to
resist the seductions of the family circle
and courageously spend an hour or two
iu the pursuit OF pure science. Men like
these are the hope of the nation, and as

Russtap Minister Exchanges
Shots with an Italian Consul.

A correspondent OF the London Times
at Athens, in letter dated January 9,
says: This week is the Greek Christ.
mas, and the usual excitement has been
supplemented by that of duel between
Count Savouroff, the Russian Minister,
and M. Gallant, the Italian Consul. Al
though the full particulars Of all the cir
cumstanees surrounding the events
which led to this affair may not be known
with certainty, yet quite sufficient has
transpired to raise great storm Of in
dignation against Count Savouroff.
When he came here about two years ago,
he brought with him scandalous repu-
tation from more than one European
capital, and his arrival was quickly fol-
lowed by a separation from his wife,
whose gentle and agreeable manners won
universal sympathy. Then he intrigued
with the wife of the Italian Consul, The
result was that a short time since M.
Gallant broke up his home On his return
to Athens, few days ago, he tried
to make Count Savouroff fight, but a
committee of honor decided that there
was no sufficient cause After this de.
cision he met the Count last Sunday in
the large square before the palace, when
the band was playing, at time when
the whole city is there, and grossly in.
suited him. The duel followed as mat
ter of course 1t was fought on the 7th
of January, at Phalerum, on the beauti-
full, smooth, crescent shaped beach,
where not a single object interrupts the
line Of sight, while blue Hymettus,
hanging like a delicate curtain, seems
to screen of quiet inclosure, perfectly
fitted for such encounters. They fought
with pistols, fred at twenty PAGES. The
Russian Minister, who was a noted shot,
seemed very confident, but his pistol
missed FIRE and the Italian hit him in
the arm, just below the shoulder when
he instantly tainted, and had to be car
ried off the ground. The wound is pro
nounced to be dangerous, and the ball
has not been extracted. The press is
very indignant at the whole affair, and
justly complains that those who should
have set an example of orderly conduct
have deliberately set the law at defiance. ="
