No other Shuttle Machine has ever. snc-

Some Machines have overcome one defect
and some another, but no one Machine has
ever before overcome them all. Hence We
know the machine HON ESTLY excels any

and does this so obviously as to cut short all
debate on the subject
We realize that these are Strong assurances,
but we offer them without the least misgiv-

| We, therefore. offer the machine upon its
own merits, and if it does not prove satisfac.
tory, it can be returned any time within Gu
days and money refunded.

The New Orleans Bulletin affects to be FIRMLY
convinced that the Forty-thrd was the last Com
gress which will ever pesceably convene at Wash
ington."
The above is simply a verifca.ion of
the trite old saying that "The wish lie
father of the thought" We would
suppose, after the terrible experience
we have passed through in the last ten
years to maintain the Union, that no
man would have tho the har1ihood to
suppose that it would now be given
up. 1t is. folly for the rebel element
to suppose that the immense blood and
treasure Of four years. war is 60 soon
to be forgotten and its results FILTERED
away. No-nnnumbered Congresses
are to assemble under the old flag in
the generations yet to come, without q
single star erased, but many more ad.
ded, and as fast as one Congress shall
prove untrue to its trusts, the people
will replace it with another aud bet
ter. tits too early for Southern De.
mocracy to talk about this being the
last Congress to assemble peaceably,
because that party has majority in
the Lower House. Republicans ex-
pect to abide the results of elections,
and they expect TO make every body else
do the same.

The Chicago Tribune wants to know
the meaning of the new word "bliz.
Yard" and seems to think It originated
ip Iowa. The first time this writer
ever heard 1t, was in Minnesota. He
was asking an old pioneer something
about the country, when he replied
that it was nice country to live in
EXCEPT for the "bl!zzards" in the win.
ter When being asked what that
meant, he said it was one of those
northern blasts which jumped up
somewhere along the isothermal line
and which would blow chew OF to.
bacco out of your mouth and leave
you chewing.
For farther particulars the Tribune
man is recommended to a trip on the
North Pacific Railroad, from Duluth to
Morehead, any time during next jan.
nary.

SHERIFF BRINGHoLT, of Des Moines
county, sold, as sheriff of Polk county,
some two years ago. the Des Moines
Valley Railroad. Before selling the
road, it seems that an agreement was
made az to the amount of his fees.
A suit arose touching his fees, and the
agreement, which has just bean heard
in the Supreme Court, declared void,
it being held as being in violation Of
the statute aud of public policy-that
there was no consideration for the
agreement. The Statute, Sec. 3S4O Of
the Code, says that any officer wilful-
ly taking higher or other fees than are
allowed by law lie guilty of misdc.

George William Curtis, editor of
Harper's Weekly, Is perhaps, all things
considered, the most extraordinary
and prodigions man that this country
has yet produced.
His immense capabilities enabled him
to write editorials on the inside of his
paper in the 1872 campaign friendly
towards Greeley and Sumner, while
on its outside it was bristling with the
most terrific cartoons Of those eminent
men which the prolific pencil Of Mast
could produce. No sooner had Sum-
ner died than Curtis turned up as bis
eul0gist, and now that the expenses of
the funeral ceremonies of the Massa-
cbusetts Senator have been published,

THE Chicago Times has sent one Of
its talented liars to Sioux City to write
up the Black Hills. He takes four
columns of that chaste and ornate
journal to come to the conclusion that
it is either fraud OR it ain't, and that
there is either gold there in paying
quantities or else there is not. At any
rate, if there is gold there in any COZ.
siderable quantity he is of the opinion
that gigantic ring of army officers
and Republican officials with Grant at
its head is engaged in keeping off the
settlers to the end that said ring may
perfect its arrangements for rushing in
and taking bodily possession of the
whole country! If Darwinianism is
true, this fellow ought to be able to
trace his paternity back to a bowlegged
oyster, and not 60 very far either.
