In speaking of the merits of the Wilson shuttle sewing machine, it is 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 con- sider the influence it has upon the social we'll being of the masses it is difficult to conceive of all invention of more importance. It has a beautiful noiseless movement; it makes the genuine "lock-stitch alike on both sides, and does to perfection all kinds of plain and fine sewing it needs no commendation it's rapid sales, the increasing demand, and the many fattering testimonials from those who have used it, is sufficient proof of it's merits. The want of sewing machine IS deeply felt in every househoid and as the Wilson shuttle sewing machine, on account of it's extreme simplicity and less cost of manufacture, is sold at 8 much lower price than all other first-class machines, it is meeting with the extensive patronage that it so justly deserves.

Pimples, Eruptions, Rough Skin

The system being put under the influence of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for & few weeks, tho skin becomes smooth, clear, soft and velvety, and being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all it's glory. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the sys- tom through the medium of the blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While ono to three bottles clear the skin of pimples blotches, eruptions, yellow spots comedones, or "grubs, a dozen may possibly be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or vilulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula is, with the use of this most potent agent only matter of time. Sold by dealers in medicines.

Tho Murderer's Arrest,

The details of the escape of Sharkey, the murderer, are thus given: When Davies, the New York detective, reached Havana, he discovered that Sharkey had escaped by Spanish coasting steamer bound for St. Thomas. The vessel on which he was passenger called at Gibara Nuevitas and arrived at Santiago de Cuba on the 2Oth of March. Mean while telegraphic dispatches had been re- ceived by the police officials of that town to arrest Sharkey. As soon as the steamer entered the port d file of soldiers took him off and conducted him to the public prison, where number of the Virginius prisoners had previously been confined. The captain of an American schooner, the Morning Pride, saw him taken ashore. When Sharkey was locked up he sent word to United States consul Young that he was able to furnish that gentleman with unmistakable proofs that he was an American citizen and en- titled to the protection of that country. Of this demand Mir. Young took no no- tice. Sharkey then sent to the British consul, who refused likewise to take any notice of him, knowing that Sharkey was an American, and that his only claim on ulIu Wtto UA10 pNooCoo1Ou O4 tt SCO1cL1 DIAG- ish passport, belonging to MT. John Fox, boiler maker, of Thirty-fourth street, New York. While he was in jail he was visited by good many people, and one of them incidentally remarked to him: "Why did you use British passport ?' To this he replied, with an oath: England takes care of her sub- jects abroad; the United States don't that's why P It is believed that some of his visitors furnished Sharkey with the saw and other implements with which he endeavored to cut his way out of jail. The United States consul saw Sharkey in jail, going there in company with some of the officers of the United States survey ship Fortune. The consul, how ever, did not let Sharkey know of his official position. Sharkey's imprison- ment caused good deal of excitement in Santiago. The steamer in which he has been returned to Havana is the Sara

things are not unknown in that country.
More likely. however. Cortina will succeed
in eluding the vigilance Of his guards and
make his escape before Mexico city is
reached. Cortina is man of wealth, and
