The points OF superiority of these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nua
merous and important.
USES OF THE MACHGNES.--Everg
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to pe,fec-
tion with the No. 8 Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z and tho
| No. 8 are more especially suited by reason OF
size or form, some Of the various kinds of
work to which each machine Is particularly VI
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. MACHENE--Boota
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim1
mings patent leather trimmings for harnesss
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmingsa
canvas bags pocket books, and heavy leather
work generally.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the
5th inst. relates this surprising story:
Yesterday, James Gibney, who drives
hack No. 26S, was paid money by several
patrons, and upon balancing accounts
in the evening he found THAI by some
unaccountable means he was sos 90
ahead, being the possessor OF three $40
gold pieces, which some one had given
him under the impression that they were
three half-dollars. Not knowing from
whom he had received them, Mr.. Glib.
ney reported the fact to.the Ponce Office,
and left his address in case any one
could be found who mad lost 500 during
the day." .

THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL
1876!

VICTORIOUS!

Again the Wheeler q Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the word. The Centen-
NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards and decreed for the New Wheeler
6 Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is double victory
and the highest award which it was in the
power of the Centennial authorities to bestow-,
No other sewing Machine received such O.
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pros
ducers Of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the. list. After a,
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
tion, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mousIy ratified the action Of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF these
ablest of mechanical experts. A claim Of.
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine is only an attempt to hoods
wink the people. Read the following, which
stamps the New Wheeler & Wilson" as the,

The DiDper.

A writer in the Contributors Club
of the August atlantic Mogathly tells
his dismay when, in speaking to some
English friends about the star group O.
the Dipper," and of its being the only
one of the consultations whose appear
ance really conforms with the name, he
was met with the blank query
"What is dipper?"
"Here," he says, "were people with
whom could talk for an hour about
Locke, Berkeley, and Hume, who didn't
know, after all, what q dipper was p
When he tried to explain, the result
was
"a ladle We understand. :. Oh, yes.

"In this case, " the writer adds, &c not
only the words but the things varied
that is, they don't have 'dippers, strict
ly so-called, in England"
When Prof. Proctor was asked by the
editor Of st. Nicholas to write paper
on the constellation Of the "Dipper, " he
appeared embarrassed for a moment,
and then said
cob! You mean the Cleaver.' We
call that constellation the 'Cleaver' in
England"

A Big Catch.

A few days since the Captain and crew
OF fishing schooner caught at zone
haul, off the shores of Block island, in
an immense net or seine used for this
purpose, 400 barrels of mackerel, the
value of which, IN the Boston market, is
from $50 to $40 per barrel, making
sum total in value, for one days fishing,
OF over So, 900, one-half of which goes
to the owner of the vessel, and the other
half to the Captain. This may appear
to some an almost incredible story, and
yet it is literally true, vouched for by
an honorable Judge and reliable cler-
gyman from Cincinnati, both of whom
were eye-witnesses of the fact. On the
same day there were caught, by another
fishing-craft, six immense swordfsh,

DURING his visit to Ems in August,
1867, Bismarck told an American gentle
man that Prince Gortschakoff was, in his
opinion, the greatest statesman of his

WASHINGTON NOTES.

At a Cabinet meeting, held just before the
Presidents departure for Vermont, it was re-
solved to insist upon the most ample PREPARATION
and satisfaction for the Mexican outrage at Rio
Grande City, Texas. The extradition of the
scoundrels concerned in it will be exacted. and
no recognition will be given Diaz unless these
demands are promptly complied with.
The President is said to be contemplating a
change in the Indian policy. The details have
not been fully considered, but it is probable
that some of the features of the Canadian sys-
tenn will be adopted. The Canadian plan is
almost exactly opposite to our own, the In
dams being treated as subjects to the Dominion
Government, and not as members of an indie
pendent nationality. They are made amenable
to the law for all offenses, and are protected in
all their rights under the law. There is

satellite, which is described as a faint object
of the thirteenth or fourteenth magnitude. is
between $4,000 or $4,000 miles, which is less

Thomas D. Hoxey was nominated for Govern
or. The resolutions denounce the denonetiza-

The West Virginians did settle that capital
question after all, but there was evidently q
mistake somewhere. They meant to vote to
keep the question open, but miscalculated to
the extent of few votes, and Charleston was

consideration of the platform and resolutions
adopted by the National Convention at Indian

Judge West, Republican candidate for Gov

at Bellefontaine last week. He discussed the
relations between capital and labor, held that
their interests were identical if properly and
inteligently considered, advocated a system OF
graded compensation and semi-co-operatio and
the establishment of a National Bureau of In
dustry. On the question of finance, he was in
favor of the reconciliation of silver, and
opposed to the further issue Of legal-tende1
notes. He was in favor of ICON

payments through contraction he declared to
be simply suicidal. While refraining from in
dorsing the Presidents Southern policy, he be-
Geved in giving it fair and honest trial.

In the absence of exciting news as to
battles and important army movements,
we are receiving elaborate accounts of
horrible atrocities perpetrated by the
hostile armies in Bulgaria and Roume-

other, and the accounts are undoubtedly
exaggerated. If half that is said is true,
all civilized nations should promptly CO.

SEVERAL newspaper paragraphs have

The death of the late Lewis Brooks
of Rochester, N. Y, who had amasseo
large fortune in the manufacture Of
wooden cloths, has revealed a public
benefactor. He retired from business
forty years ago, and has since attended
chiefly to his private concerns, and hao
so disappeared from public view that
his name was comparatively unknown
even in Rochester. Since his death
however, it has been discovered that ht
had given $4,000 to the Rochester City
Hospital, $40, 900 to the st. Mary's Hos
pital, S., 900 each to the Industrial Schoo
and Female Charitable Society, and
most munifcent Of all, $4,000 to the
Virginia University, and in neither case
was the giver known. Numerous Other
gifts are now known to have come from
the same generous hand. He seems t.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

From statements made at public meeting
in Madras, the other day, it appears that the
famine area in that part of British India has a,
population of $4,000, 600 people. Nearly all the
food consumed in that district is imported from
less afflicted regions. One-twelfth of the whole
population are fed by the Government, and the
Sanitary Commissioner of the province is re-
sponsible for the appalling statement that no
less than half million havesperished from act
nal starvation or privations they have suf-
fered.
The Mark Lane Express, reviewing the crop
prospects throughout Gil eat Britain, finds the

creases the probability of damage.

4 JaDaueSo Eating.HouSe.

The most popular of all the eating
houses OF the capital is the Matsuda, on
the Gina, at Kiobashi. This is really
an immense establishment, having ac-
commodations for 1900 customers at
once. It is owned by wealthy woman
named Matsuda Kane, by whom it was
opened in 1873. No rooms are let for
lodging purposes, and the patrons are
mostly residents of Toxic, though coca
sionally rural party may be seen star
ing at the unaccustomed sights about
them, to the no small amusement of their
urban neighbors. The customer is given
a numbered ticket on entering, by which
his account with the house is kept. A
few rooms are furnished in semi-foreign
style, but most preserve their japanese
character, and the food is almost entire
~ native. The "bill of fare" includes
some twenty different dishes, ranging in
price from to Is sen each, the charges
depending largely on the state of the fish
market While no meat is served, fowls
are cooked in number of forms, and all
kinds Of liquors can be obtained. The
Matsuda is opened about s o'clock in the
morning and closed at or $50 in the
evening. The busiest hours are at mid
day and after sunset, when the fifty at
PENDANTS are kept very active by the
crowds and thirsty patrons. To the
passer-by, the restaurant looks most at
tractive at night, when the rows OF Ian
terms under the caves, and the illumina-
tion of the whole building, showing
through panes Of colored glass, present
very gay appearance.-Tokio (Japan)
