The New York Herald has rem

The New York Herald has rem
dered o most substantial service
to working women and poor girls
of New York city by exposing the
iniqutous operations of some of
the agents Of the sewing machine
companies. One of the crying
evils of the busisess in that city it
describes as follows:
Hrhere are several dealers iii
sewing machines in this city of
whom the worst sort of stories is
told, and some of them have al
ready been before the courts in
suits brought by the Women $
Protective Union. The dealers
publish advertisements in the
large newspapers to the effect that
they will sell the different classes Of
machines at much lower prices
thaa the manufacturers themselves
sell them. Not only this, but they
prom Use to secure or give work
to the purchaser for II certain
length of time, thu, enabling the
girls, according to the advertise
ment, TO be certain ofpaylng for
tho m machine. Both forms Of the
advertisement are swindle. In
the first place these d callers do not
sell new machines for..the prices an
nouncd, except old ones revamed
Furnished up with putty and var
nish can be said to be new, and in
the second place the promise to
supply work is rarely if ever full
filled. Here is whro the trouble
lies. The gic.s are disappointed
at the start The machine may
have cost the pedler $l0 or SIS,
and he sells it at perhaps $50.
He secures for or gives the girl
about $40 or SIS worth Observing
work, and she hands over this
money to the dealer. The dealer
is thus reimbursed for what the
seconed. hand machine cost him;
the girl gets no moro work, the
next installment ofthe money due
is not paid, the dealer walks in,
seizes the machine, and leaves the
girl to wonder at the whole affair
Another victim is soon caught, the,
machine is made to do the work
another girl pays him $40 or SIS,
work is discontinued, the ma
chine is again seized, and another
poor girl is left to mourn the du-
plicity of sewing machine men.

William Wtrt md Aaron Burr.

In sketch of William Writ, the Al
bang LaD Journal gives an account of
Aaron Burr's trial: "Burr's counsel
were Luther Martin, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence, John Wick
lam, and Benjamin Bolts; but he was
own most effective counsel and bore him
self with the same vigoT which he would
have displayed in cause to which he
was Indifferent. Writ and Hay were the
leading counsel for the Government.
The foreman of the jury was John Ran
dolph. Among the witnesses was Andrew
Jackson. In the bar. as spectators, sat
two young lawyers, who afterward aban-
doned the profession Of law-the one for
that Of arms and the other for that of
letters and became respectively the most
brilliant soldier and the most celebrated
author in this Winfield Scott
and Washington Irving. The latter, in
deed. appeared at Richmond on re-
tainer of friend of Burr, who thought
that the young lawyer pen might possi-
bly, prove servicable to the accused, The
talents and beauty of Richmond crowded
the benches. The Richmond ladies, il
we may credit Irving, obedient to the
scriptural injunction, Love your enc
miles," were on Burr's side during the
trial, for he says, Not lady, believe
in Richmond, whatever may be her hus
bands sentiments On the subject, who
would not rejoice at seeing Colonel Burr
at liberty" Such was the audienc,
to which Writ addressed the speech thai
rendered him famous-a speech com
pounded of u keen logic which COM
manded the respect of rhe great chic
justice, and pathos which melled tn,
| Richmond beauties into tears only les
beautiful than those Of Blennerh asset !

The Insult TO Hon. Martin 1. Town
send,

The Troy Budget gives the following
particulars of an insult to Hon, Martin
|. Townsend, member of congress from
the Troy district, by the clerk OF the
committee on revolutionary pensions OF
the house of representatives
George Dana Watkins of Troy, vice
president of the state bank, his daughter
John Hitchins, director of the same
bank, and Miss Katie Root, daug liter OF
Hon. Henry G. Root of Bennington
were in company with Mr.. Townsend in
the house portion of the capitol, when
the party, headed by Mr.. Townsend
stepped into the committee room on rev
dictionary pensions to get view OF the
scenery of the Potomac from the win
dows, the door of the room being alar.
The clerk was alone in the room, and
told the party there was no admlttance
into the room. Mr.. Townsend remarked
pleasantly that he was member of the
committee, and had equal rights in the
room with the clerk. The party then
stepped to the window, looked out on the
charming view, and then turned to leave
the room, when the clerk stepped up TO
Mr.. Townsend and said, "1'll settle the
question Of your rights in this room
now" and then called Mr.. Townsend "a
id old scoundrel, and acted other
wise in a threatening and menacing man
ner. There being ladies present. Mr..
Townsend merely remarked pleasantly
but sarcastically to the effect that the
clerk "was a gentleman, when the
whole party left the room. One OF the
party, a democrat who had his overcoat
on his arm, threw it to his companion,
with a view of defending Mr.. Townsend,
having the impression at the moment
that the clerk intended to strike him.
The clerk bears and disgraces the name
of Washington, and is Virginian, who
formerly held an Office under the con-
federacy. No course is assigned for the
insult to Mr.. Townsend except that
growing out Of Mr.. rs recent speech on
the centennial bill, The democrat pres
ent on this occasion thinks that the DEM
ocracy will lose their chances to elect
their presidential candidate from the
fact that the old plantation and rebel
secesh element had come in so promi-
nently with the accession Of power in
the house by the democrats as to be in
solent, naughty and overbearing towards
loyal northerners who are brought into
contact with the lower house of con-
gress. Messrs, Wotkins and Kitchens
drew up and signed statement Of the
transaction, which Mr.. Townsend will nc
doubt present to the committee asking
that the insoent clerk be removed. Il
it is refused Mr.. Townsend should get of
that committee as soon as possible, and
make statement of facts to the house
and to the country.

Joseph w. Wheelock.

The death of Joseph w. Wheelock,
editor and publisher of the Montpelier
Freeman briefly announced last week,
removes Appointment member OF the Yer
mont Editors Association and one who
had been connected with the craft for
more than thirty years. He was born
in Eden, Lamoille county in 1928, and
at an early age entered the printing
office, and from stepto step he became as
sociate partner in the Freeman estab-
lishment and finally sole proprietor when
his partner Hon. G. w. Willard, went
to Congress. He was also the proprie-
tor of the Christian Messenger, the
Methodist newspaper Of this state, and
was present at the last conference of that
church held in this place. Mr.. Wheel
ock was man of great industry, thor
oughly understood the practical business
of printing, and of marked ability as a
business manager. AS writer he was
sharp and caustic, especially if engaged
in controversy. In 1869 and 1870 he
represented his town of Berlin in the
legislature, and in which he held various
other places of trust. In the advocacy
of what he believed to be right he was
firm and unvarying and for many good
qualities be will long be remembered.
His disease was of the kidneys, very
painful and had confined him to his
house for some months. He leaves a
wife and three children, two sons and a
daughter.
