Nobody could help liking Ruth Lyon,
who marked the kind, firm mouth, and
honest eyes, or watched her earnest, mat

and practical, you may think, with scarce
sentiment or leisure enough to play the

disappointment, left nothing behind him
but fretful wife and sturdy boy. He

Up to yesterday, there had Ieen no
very important change IN the " sltua-

powers Of the country now at "lager-
heads with the exception of a still
further reduction of fares to the west.

in Baltimore by the Pennsylvania
road stating o reduction Of fare to the
following places in addition to those
cities heretofore mentioned 70 Co.

met by corresponding reduction on
the part Of the Baltimore and Ohio

CHEAP SEWING MAcHINE5.--It is
probable that ere long, sewing ma
chimes will be cheap enough for even
the poorest families to possess one.
The refusal of the House Committee
to extend the patent on sewing ma
chimes is move in the right direction,
and in the interest of the laboring poo-
pie of the country. 1t will have the
effect to reduce the price of sewing
machines from their present exorbi-
tant rate as low as 500, 1t is IN ev-
idence that the cost of the average
sewing machine is but $40 and that
small manufacturers are required to
pay the sewing machine combination
as much as $40 profit on each machine

QUESTIONABLE EcoNoMY.-lt does
not seem to be generally known that
the least mark Of a pen, other than
the address, subjects all classes OF
mail matter to full letter postage.
This refers alike to unsealed circulars,
newspapers and packages of nerchan-
disc, which must not contain even 30
much as the name or initials of the
sender, unless in print Notwith-
standing the publicity given to the
rules of the Post Office Department,
violations of this law are frequent.
1t may be interesting to our readers
and the public, to state that besides
