WHEELER & WILSON'S
New No. 6 Sewing Machine.

We, manufacturers Of Boots and Shoes, are
using Wheeler & Wilson'S New No. Sewing
Machine in all kinds Of stitching on our WORK,
and confidently believe that it will supersedo
all others in this branch Of manufactures, for
the following reasons:
l. The work done by this machine is superior
to that OF any other il variety, amount, excel
lence and beauty.
2. This machine is more durable than any
other of its class, requiring much less outlay
for repairs and renewal Of parts.
g. 1t does the cording or staying OF button
holes in most elegant and substantial man
ner, without the expense Of royalty.
In short, because by the use of this machine
we can turn out superior work at less cost than
with any other.

11th inst. says; "Wnen the drop fell at
the hanging of the four Indians AZ Fort

Charlie Elsen, sprang at the dying men
as they came through the door. Several
loud barks were given, which caused the
spectators to laugh, and ludicrous
scene, for few moments, followed"

WHEELER & WILSON'S
New No. z Machine,

Now for the first time introduced to the pub
lie, ranks in excellence with their famous
No Machine, but has some notifications
adapting it to special classes of work. The
Tailor will find it as well suited to his work
as is No. to leather work. 1t might properly
be termed the Tailor's Machine.

We are running the Wheeler & Wilson Sew
ing Machine No. 8, by steam power, at speed
Of 100 stitches per minute on Ladies' and
Misses Fine Shoe Uppers, and find it superior
to any other machine in the following par
ticulars:
twill close seams with heavy silk in leather
tighter, without puckering, than any machine
we know. 1t will close leather seams with
Marshalls Cabled Thread at above speed equal
to the Howe Cylinder Machine.
1t runs faster and makes more regular
stitch on fine leather than any machine we
have ever used.
We believe it will prove very durable ma
chine, and when Worn down may be repaired
cheaper and better than the average of first

Absurdities of English Law.

John Paul. writes to the Tribune that
law IN England lie linked with some strange
acknowledgements of an Olden time, of
course but still held sacred. The idea of
it is that jurist should be made to look
wise, whether he be or not. The effect, when
q young and beardless face shows under
venerable thatch, is funny enough, and one
can hardly get rid of the feeling that he is at
masuuerade-unless, indeed. he is on trial
By another fiction quite as ridiculous as the
counterfeiting of age, the barrister is sup
he collect any. The dignity of the profess
sion is held to forbid any bargains, the bar
tering of legal opinion for mere money
consideration. There's the theory. But in
fact your heightened queens counsel gets
stupendouS fees. You can not personally
approach him tor an opinion; your solicitor
must intervene; but that same queen s
counsel will make your hair curl before you
get through with him. And how could he
keep his wig up to the mark if he didn't
have five pound notes for curl papers! Nor
though he, by the grossest incompetence, in.
yoive you in painful mess of mistakes and
costs, have you any redress. Actuated by
philanthropy only in his advice, he is not
liable. Was there ever a fiction so absurd!
And the idea of perpetrating it, of going
bravely on and making believe that counsel
is open to all without charge, when every
body knows it is not? My couutrymen do
some very ridiculous thin s. no doubt, but
they never whip the devil around a stump
with lash of red tape in this way. Issues
are met more squarely, and when they set
out to plumber stranger they do it open
handedly and with no attempt at conceal.
