SEWING MACHINES,

If you are wanting to buy a Sewing Ma
chue, try new Wilson and you will have no
other.
A trial will convince the most skeptical OF
its superiority over all Others, being adiusta-
BILE in all its parts, every movement being
positive, with a perfect tension and adjusta-
BILE feed. 1t is simple, strong durable and
cheap, light and rapid running, doing all the
different varieties of sewing rom the finest
fabri to the heaviest cloth or leather.
The latest improved Wilson will not run
backwards, thereby avoiding the breakage OF
needles and thread and necessitatiDg the re-
moval of the goods from the machine while
winding the bobbns as is the case with all
other machines. HIUHES PREMIUM AT

chasing elsewhere. To try one is to buy one.

A Detroit Hero.

The city of Detroit has a genuine hero.
The party referred to is a young man
named John Horn, and his heroism con-
slsts in his bravery in rescuing people
from drowning. In tins line he has quite
equaled the famous adventures of Charles
Reade's John Lambert, of Scotland, who
has attracted 80 great admiration through
the pen of his novelist friend. John
Horn, of Detroit, has for many years
lived by the waters edge, on the wharves
of his town, assisting his father in a
small tavern. His skill as a swimmer
and his bravery in springing to the res
cue of persons unfortunate enough to
fall into the water, are worthy of the
highest praise. When accidents occur
at the wharves and any one is in danger
Of drowning, young Horn IS always called
upon for assistance. And what has he
done in this way? Very much. He has
saved over one hundred human lives.
Such a record is found in few lands, and,
following the English idea of rewarding
such valor with medals and pensions,
the Hon. Moses w. Field, OF the House
of Representatives, who knows young
Horn and has seen his operations III
saving life some half dozen times, has
brought the case before Congress. IN Il
modest letter to Mr.. Field, the water
hero speaks of score or more of people
with whom he has struggled i'll the
waves, and who have been saved by his
efforts, giving the names of all, the dates
of the accidents, and the circumstances
attending. The exposures incident to
Mr.. Horns career of mercy, have, in his
case. as in that of the Scotch IIambert's,
resulted in serious injury TO his consti
tuition. but he still watches the waters
edge, and expects - save many more
humans from death. His claims to ma
tional recognition are so well based that
there will probably be no difficulty in
securing him medal of honor.

The Side Clutch.

The weather here has had some eject
on the side-way clutch. Do you know
what that Is? You must have had it in
st. Louis. All New York women have
it bad. It's the universal fashion of
wearing the right hand as far in the rear
8 practicable, with fist full of petticoat
in it. Out of hundred ladies passing
Mt any hour the corner of Fourteenth
street and Broadway / will stake my best
bonnet ninety nine of them sail along
with their dress skirts walloped together
in bunch, and raised ut just such an
single by frozen claw in kid. About
the first of the phil back time an item
went the rounds Of the papers giving di-
rections for this sort OF thing. The lady
was to lean back and sideways, take as
much OF her skirt as she conveniently
could, and straighten mp. This was the
prescribed way of walking, and it lnls
been adopted with n unanimity perfectly
laughable. During cold snap it would
be a comfortable idea 10 take an extra
sleeve, stufl a glove, and sew some dress
skirt between the fingers. This inven-
ton hung ut the side will allow woman
to put both hands in her muff and still
be fashionable. But, good mercy, what
won't n woman suffer to be fashionable!

Mrs. TiltOn Repulses Her Daughters

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes: Mrs. Tilton
spent sad New Year. Her husband
returned, few days before, from his
successful Western tour, and found that
his daughters, Florence and Alice, had
not cailed.upon their mother. Florence,
the elder, now dignified and self-reliant
young woman, was quite disinclined to
do co. but Mr.. Tilton, it is said, urged
that her mother would miss the calls and
attentions she had been accustomed TO
receive, and the dang hters ut last started
off in carriage, with two bouquets for
their mother. Arrived Mt the door, they
sent up their names, bouguets, and an
sffectionate note, with the situations Of
the New Year, and asked to be admitted.
The servant quickly brought back the
bouquets and the note unopened, with
the message THAI Mrs. Tilton did not
wish to see them or receive anything at
their hands"

disgust, / could see that it was looked
upon with good deal of suspicion. You
see, was quite stranger in the place,
and, il you look mt the balance of proba-
billties, Sturm's story was In some ways
better than mine. His solicitor ridiculed
my whole narrative, but said he could be-
lieve the strange use OF the syringe, If L
had any evidence that / was ever in the
place. 1 had come back, too, and gone
off again, and he asked was L not wan

/ saw he was making an impression; and
it seemed also that the jury were unwil-
ling to condemn neighbor on such ex-
taordinary evidence given by astranger.
If / could prove was in the cottage
and Sturm, who could hardly see, swore
l had not been there-the story would
have very different compltxio
Suddenly the mark had made upon
the murderer flashed across me, and 1
brought it forward as proof. With con-
siderable difficulty the coroner allowed
St,rms neck to be barred but amid loud
murmurs, and to my horror, no mark
was to be found. Had it been removedl
felt certain it had not. 1t had only
been covered up, and exposure to the
sunlight would bring it out. L deter
mined that Sturms neck should be
turned to the winter sun, then shining
through the windows, explaining az well
rs i could how il was the mark had not
appeared.
After much objection that was done,
and then, amid scene of indescribable
excitement, the sun gradually acted upon
the salt of silver, and by degrees the
place blackened, till slowly and surely
the mark came ont and there was the
accusing cross, a silent witness to the
truth of my story, and sure condemna-
ton of him who would fain have been a
double murderer.
"It is conjurer's trick" cried the
solicitor angrily, while Sturm stood
stunned and puzzled, and people leant
eagerly forward to catch a glimpse OF
the mysterious mark.
"No," said the coroner, "it is no
trick. That cross is the handwriting of
Providence"
Open that box on your right, and you
will see my relics-the syringe, the bot
tie Of acid, and that little vial labeled
Ag o, NO 5-the chemical expression
of nitrate of silver while 1 may finish
my story by telling you that, before the
cross faded from Mr.. Gabriel Stdrms
neck he was punctually hanged.

Probability Of a European Outbreak.

As b the probability of general out
break, says London letter in the New
York Tribune, the week has contributed
little or no fresh Information. Some
Importance may be ntta- he'd TO the re-
mark of Gen. Ignatioff that there would
be- no hostilities for year to come
since nothing ~ less likely than general
European conflagntion at the beginning
OF the winter. This remark, there il
reason to believe, was really made. Its
value depends on the mood the Russian
Embassador WAS in at the time. He is
capable-in imitation of Prince Bismarck
of burning out truths; and also ca
pable of hurting out falsehood she wishes
taken for truths. OF late it has suited
him to be frank; as when he told the
coming bankruptcy of Turkey to incred-
ulous oars.
