The magnificent display of the Sim

main building, Ia the point OF attrac-
ton around which the ladies' never
cease TO congregate. Their exhibition
OF sewing machines and work done on
the Singer far surpasses anything ever
made by this or any other company In
the tate. The capacity of this Won
derful machine Is fully demonstrated.
Side by side with sample Of sole
leather, two or three thioknesses, and
sewed on the family machine, may be
seen the finest lace or gause, as deli
cate as II wrought with gossamer. The
CALCULATIONS of wonder and surprise
are frequent, especially when II is
shown that this can be done without
changing the needle, thread, feed or
the spring OF the presser-foot. 1t il
not surprising that these machines for
thirty years have held the leading
position Of the standard machines OF
the world, and that to-day there are
more of them sold than the sales Of
all other manufacturers combined. II
will well repay anyone inserested in
sewing machine mechanism to ex-
anime this display.

A DETAILED statement of the value Of
the imported commodities exhibited at the
Centennial Exposition and subsequently
entered for consumption, together with the
amount of duties paid, has been prepared by
the Bureau of Statistics. The total value
was $731, ,593.13, and the duty received $780,
664, representing an aggregate Of $9S2.257-
13, sum that falls far below the popular
estimates hitherto made. 1t IS, of course,
impossible to ascertain what relation exists
between the gross declared value of these
goods and the aggregate paid for them by
purchasers, but the exhibitors naturally made
such additions for duties paid, expense Of
transportation, and other outlays as they
deemed appropriate. 1t is creditable to the
good taste and judgment OF the visitors that
their largest expenditures for any specified
class of commodities was for painting and
statuary, and that china and earthenware
stood next on the list.

table of contents has appeared in one of the
Paris journals. He will point out how-as
he predicted-the Empire declined from the
time of the Mexican expedition; he will urge
that clerical and anti-Republcan party is
unsuited to France and to Frenchmen; he
will urge that the Assembly must be elected
in three months at the outside from the day
on which it was dissolved; he will deny the
right claimed by President Mcmahon and his
Ministers to proclaim aHstate of siege in the
departments when the National Assembly is
not sitting 1t is further declared that, by
M. Thiers' advice, series of actions for Libel
will be commenced by ex-deputies and exist
ing Senators of the Republican party against
the journals in the pay of the government.
A great deal of political and personal calum-
ny has been INDUCED in by these journals,

it is to be seen whether this can be done with
impunity.

The New Loan.

The amount of popular subscriptions to
est estimates of the most sanguine, and
reaches nearly seventy million dollars. 1t
will not compare unfavorably, considering all
circumstances, with the surprising popular
subscriptions to the French loan, after the
Franco-German war. The amount is greatly
less, as our amount of surplus funds lis less,
but the readiness with which the loan was
taken shows that our people have as strong a
faith in home credit as do our old allies across
the sea. The success of the new four per
cents, is conclusive evidence that the great
majority of the Americans entertain no fear
that the plans of the greenback infationists
or Of the advocates of unlimited silver coin
age will ever be carried into effect. 1t is un-
derstood that the Treasury in placing this
loan upon the market has taken its first step
toward resumption in 1879, and the amount
and readiness of the subscriptions should
teach it that the step is heartily approved.
Of late the clamor for silver made by few
in the West has had no inconsiderable infu-
ence upon Secretary Sherman, and rumors
are rife that he contemplates receding from
the position he took soon after his appoint
ment to the head of the Treasury Depart
ment. He should take courage from the suc-
cess of his first step, and not be turned aside
by any resolutions in favor of deprecated
currency which Western conventions in their
madness may pass. The majority OF the
supporters of the administration demand
that the financial plank of the Cincinnati
platform shall not be discarded, and that the
pledge there made shall be carried into effect.
That minority desire to repudiate that
pledge is evident. But the fact that the re-
pudiating minority happen to be majority
in the state of Ohio does not justify the
President or his ministers in disregarding the
promises which secured to him his election.

SOMEBODY has invented what he calls q
new theory of the Russian retreat. 1t is,
that the Russians withdrew for the purpose
of getting the Turks to follow them into a
country where they (the Turks) would be
sure to be defeated. This is not new theo-
ry. We first heard Of its PRONUNCIATION more
than dozen years ago, by a person named
Jefferson Davis. In his annual messages to
Congress, Mr.. Davis always said that the
apparent contraction of the Confederate lines
was in pursuance of a design to get the enc
my so far away from his supplies that, when
defeated, as he certainly would be, he would
be unable to regain Northern soil. The
rebels were always getting Grant 'just where
they wanted him" as the Russians are said TO
be doing now with the Turks.
