The Queen of all Sewing Machines.

In speaking Of the merits Of the Wilson
shuttle sewing machine, it is sufficient for MS
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-
slider the influence it has upon the social WELL
being OF the masses, it is difficult to conceive
OF an invention Of more Importance. 1t has
beautiful, poiseless movement; it makes the
genuine "lock-stich" alike on both sides, and
does to perfection all kinds Of plain and fine
sewing; it needs no commendstion; its rapid
sales, the increasing demand. and the many
fattering testimonials frone those who have
used it, Is sufficient proof of it's merits. The
want Of sewing machine is deeply felt in
every household, and the Wilson shuttle
sewing machine, on account of its extreme
simplicity and less cost of manufacture, ia sold
at much lower price than all other first-class
machines, it is meeting with the extensive
patronage that it 80 Justly deserves. Machines

SkillfuI SwOrdsmen,

Some remarkable feats of skill were
recently performed at Bhopal, in India,
by the Sikh cavalry. A sheep was sus-
pended on sort of q gibbet, and the
men were to ride fast and cut at it. Can
tain Butler, the commandant of the Cen
tral India horse, divided the sheep in
one single cut; but, although nearly
one hundred cuts were made at another
carcass by the men at various times. not
one succeeded in severing it. Captain
Butler was destined to perform the
coup de grace, which, he did in fine
style, and the lower end of tho carcass
dropped in one single cut with his pecu-
liarly shaped Sikh scimitar. After this
another very dexterous feat, which is
common to the Sikhs, was performed
This consists in throwing circular
shaped steel quoits at anything. The
oldSikhs throw these quoits with deadly
aim, and have been known to decap
itate scores of their enemies Mt night
without making the slightest noise.
They generally throw with their left
hand, and the quot whirs Mt awful speed
with as straight and precise course as

Shakspeare's birthday was duly honor
ed in Germany. A Leipsic c%orrespon-
dent writes: / suppose hat in England
or America the birthday Of Moses would
be as likely to be celebrated as that of
Shakespeare, though there is hardly a
German city Of any Importance where
the 23d of April is not signi6ed by the
production of a Shakspearean play at the
principal theater, and before a particu.
larly large and enthusiastic audience.
In Vienna, for instance, the entire week
at the Court Thester was devoted to
Shakespeare, and the so called "kiugly
s%eries,p including the plays, king
Lear" Henry VIII" Richard Ill"
etc., we're produced. The reverence in
which Shakespeare is held in Germany
falls little short of worship Shakspeare's
plays ore probably given twice as often
on the German as on the English-speak-
ing stage. Germany abounds in Shaks-
peare societies, and there is also q per
iodicaI called the Shakespeare Museum,

made some valuable contributions to
Shakspearean literature, and made clear
a number of obscure passages overlooked

A Gigantic Ieicle.

From a late Newfoundland letter.
There is no record OF such i3e-fields as
have been sliding past our shores this
season. The sealing captains report the
ice in many instances twenty feet In
thickness, and hard as floating masses
of granite. Had the season been q stormy
one this ice would have played sad havoc
among our feet. From the8th Of Janu-
airy, when the ice first appeared here, till
the lIth of May, it was never out OF sight
Ia huge river Of ice slowly floating past.
Ships that came through it reported it TO
be two hundred miles in breadth. Its
length is unknown, butt in all p%robabili'
ties it extended from Bafin's Bay to the
Gulf Stream, q distance OF $500 or 1000
miles. The intense cold Of this winter
seems to have converted the whole sur
face of the sea along Greenland into ice
fields, and no sooner was one borne away
on the bosom of the Arctic current than
another one was formed. One would
suppose that such an enormous ice de-
livery would temporarily lower the tenn
perature of the Gulf Stream itself aud
give us a cold summer. Even at this
date vast quantities Of ice are passing
south, though not in sight. The first two
outward.bound mail steamers from Liver
pool were unable to enter the port Of St
Louis, owing to the ice, and had to fun
on to Halifax; and the same is true Of
the two first homeward. bound steamers.
The third outward-bound mail steamer,
by which this letter should be conveyed,
is overdue, and may also have passed us
by. The oldest inhabitant" remembers

sHELRY CouNrY WHEAT.

We we're shown this morning a speei-
men of wheat raised by Mr.. H. A. Par
tee, near the State Female College, which
proves c~onclusively that this ought to be
a wheat raising country. Mr.. Partee
sowed only two acres as an experiment.
The land was fallow and had Seen care
lessly cultivated for ten years without
the use of fertilizers. The result is a
crop Of fine wheat, fifteen to twenty
bushels to the acre. The stalks are
strong, the heads well developed and the
grain full and heavy, 1t will compare
favorably with the wheat raised on up
lands in East Tennessee and Vir-
ginia. The same ground, If care
fully plowed and narrowed, would
doubtless bring thirty bushels to
the acre, and SO will the poorest
ground in Shelby county with proper at
tention. 1t requires attention and expe-
rience, as we'll as anything else, but not
half as much as cotton, And then it is
a certain and early crop, which grows
without working, and with the modern
reaper is easily and speedily harvested.
We have not heard of much wheat in
Shelby county, but by another year pre-
dict a large and profitable crop. Some
of the adjoining counties, however, are
white with the harvest, and the farmers
are rejoiced at the success Of their large
exnerimenis.
