Again Triumphant!


At the 45th Exhibition of the American
Institute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma
chine was recommended by the judges,
and approved by the unanimous vote OF
the Board of Managers, for the GREAT
GoLD .sCENTENNIAL MEDAL, under the
following rules:
"This Medal lof goId) is to be}awarded
only for machine, product, or process,
texliBited this Centennial year, at the 18th
Exhibition of the American Institute OF
the city of New York. II can be awarded
only for machine, product, or process, oi
great value, decided Importance, and Of
more than usual merit and then only by
majority Of the whole Board of Trustees
upon the written report of three judges
whose report shalr certify to the above
Requirements, and after said report shall
have been approved by a majority of the

1t will be thus seen that the Howe

Future American Women.

Frederika Bremen says The
American woman is being form
ed for a citizen of the world. 1t
is not merely as a teacher that
the spirit of the New World
seeks to prepare for woman a
freer development and wider
sphere of activity; it seeks to
open for her free paths in arts
and manufactures. IF { must
choose between giving educa-'
sion to the men or the women OF
a country, I would leave the
men and begin with the women,
said one Of the legislators of this
country to me, one day; and this
/ is the thought of a large number
Eof men in the United States.
The advancement of the higher
development of woman is one OF
1.-THE most remarkable features OF
the New World s cultivation, its
greatest merit, and its principal
labor for the future. All that is
now wanting is merely that il
shall not stop halfway. I do
not believe the right-miudedness
lof the men will fail, if the wo-
men will, with discretion and
Iearnestness, take the place
which society here is willing to
assign them. IL is with justice
that we are accustomed to esti-
mate the measure of a nation s
Icnltivation by the estimation IN
which woman is held, and the
place which she occupies in So
cieiy, because it requires nc
small degree of spiritual culture
Ito value a being whose highest
Epower is of spiritual character,
IThe people of America have
Eshown themselves to be possess
led Of this, and it will increase
lin the same proportion as the
women of the country make
themselves deserving of it.

A DOGS JUDGMENT.

A young Partisan artist lately painted
portrait Of duchess, with which her
friends were not satisfied. declaring
that 1t was totally unlike. The painter,
however, was convinced that he had
succeeded admirably, and proposed
that the question of resemblance or no
resemblance be left to a little dog be-
longing to the duchess, which was
agreed to. Accordingly, the picture
was sent to the hotel of the lady the
next day, and large party assembled
to witness the test. The dog was
called, and no sooner did he see the
portrait than he sprang upon it. licked
1t all over, and showed every demon
stration Of the greatest joy. The tri-
umph Of the painter was complete, and
all present insisted that the picture had
been retouched during the night, which
was actually So. the painter having
rubbed 1t over with thin coating OF
lard. The dogs nose was sharper than
the critics eyes.

Russia.s Line Of March to India.

The Spectator Is clear in advance of
the Liberal party in Great Britain. Its
criticism of Lord Derby's policy has
been merciless; it has not hesitated to
denounce Sir John Lubbock and Lord
Harrington as shilly-shally INSTRUCTORS
of the Opposition, who have mistaken
pusillanimity for prudence; 1t has even
found fault with Mr.. Gladstone for
speaking in uncertain tones; and at the
outbreak of hostilities it hailed the war
as not only the most important but also
the most necessary Of modern times. 1t
has taken the ground that British con-
science and British duties rise higher
than British interests; but it does
not hesitate to meet the Anglo
Turks on their own level. While
it admits that Russian on the
Euphrates may make himself a nuis-
ance, that Persia inclosed east and
west will be very weak, and that a
march from Erzeroum to the Persian
Gulf is within the limits Of possibility,
1t declares that Russia possesses now
all the advantages, the prospect Of
which frightens the Tories out Of their
serenity. Her new base on the Black
Sea, II she gets it, is not half 80 formid-
able danger to India as her present
one on the Caspian. That sea is Rus.
sian dock which no other power can
ever approach, and its southern shore,
now protected by a dying power OF

key, is only 500 miles distant from the
Persian Gulf.
If Russia wants to fight Great Britain
on that line, she has only to march
across the Persian isthmus and she is

Capt. Burton has found gold and pre-
cious stones in the Land of indian. AT
the request Of the Khedive he explored
the desolate region bordering upon the
easternmost OF the two long and narrow
estuaries in which the Red Sea ends.
Accompanied by u French engineer,
Capt, Burton landed In indian on April
2 and explored a region full of ruined
towns, built Of solid masonry, with
made roads, aqueducts five miles long,
artificial lakes, and massive fortresses.
He reports the existence of gold. silver,
tin, antimony. and Turquoise mines.
The auriferous region is extensive in
deed, the diseoverer believes he has
opened up California, and the Khe-
dive proposes to have the country
worked by European capitalists. In the
Bible, indian Is described as land full
Of metals, especially gold, silver, and
lead. The Spectator considers it more
than probable that Solomon's Ophir
was situated there, as the small ships
In which he imported gold, ivory, and
peacocks were launched at the head of
the Red Sea. indian is part of the

What name do you give this ohild2"
asked the vicar, whose name was Fred

woman's father, answered sharply,
Frederick Willett White" Mr.. Willett
instantly refused to give the child that
name, stating that they were assuming
his own name. The child's mother
shook her head and the child's grand
father said, mo" Taking the child in
his arms and pouring water on its head,
the vicar named it George White. I"
The grandfather demonstrated against
the arbitrary use of his own name, and
the high sheriff, who happened to be
the wears father law, went forward
and led the irascible gentleman out of

A Bohemian tailor living in Baltimore
married a widow who had many attrac-
tions, several children and one irregu-
larity-she honored the memory Of her
first husband, and occasionally visited
the cemetery to scatter flowers over his
grave. Last Sunday morning she asked
the tailor to go to the cemetery with
her, but he appeared to be annoyed by
her attentions to his predecessor and
fatty refused. She went alone and
placed a handful of flowers on the grave.
When she returned to her home she
found the door of her husbands room
locked and bolted. The bolts were
forced and the tailor was found hanging
to the wardrobe, forlorn and dead. The
poor devil was jealous Of the gentleman

Hobart Pasha has written to Mr.
Gladstone asking him, in effect, whether
he considers it just to condemn the
Turks in the way he has done without
inquiring into the truth of the reports
which he has believed. He SAYS that
the Turks say "Why does not this Just
man (Gladstone) mention the horrors
committed by Christian insurgents
such as cutting off noses of prisoners,
boiling Turks alive? Why does he
make out one side to be all angels and
those Of the other all devils ?" Mr.
Gladstone has replied to this by saying
that he was about to write reply on
the various points mentioned on the
Turkish side, including the alleged boil.
ing Of six Turkish policemen.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNITY.
IN. Y. Times.1

The motives to party unity are
stronger than the probable causes Of
dissension and 1t were folly in any Re-
publican to speculate very seriously
upon the chances OF obtaining an adj
vantage In consequence of Democratic
disagreements. Not only have they in
their hands the organizing power in the
new House. but for the sake of expe-
diency we trust that they will use it
fully. Any conceivable interference
which in their effect upon the moral
condition upon the Republican party
would be more injurious than second
term Of Vandalism and all that 1t i'm
plies. The strength of the Democrats
Is unquestionable, and an intrigue with
the view Of impairing it in the mere
matter Of organization would be dis
creditable to all concerned.
