From the N. Y. Daily Graphical
An invention all frugal wives will
apprecate-in fact, all article that
even rivals the sewing machine in
usefulness-is now on exhibition at
the Broadway store of the Wilson
Sewing Machine Company, in this
city yet 1T Is so wonderfully simple
that it can scarcely be ciassed rs All
invention. and wonder to every
body that it was not discovered years
ago. The invention consists in
very simple little attachment of the
Wilson shuttle sewing machine for
darning all kinds ofrips, tears, worn
out places, etc, in clothing, table and
bed linen, stockings, underware, etc,
in the same manner that it is done
by hand, and leaves the repaired part
scarcely observable. The OPERATOR
of the sewing machine can darn
large-siZed hole in a bed sheet or
table cloth almost instantaneOusly.
1t is to be regretted, however, that
this wonderful invention is patented
and owned by the Wilson Sewing
Maching Company, Of Chicago, ILL.,,
who will not permit its Use except
with one of its make of sewing
machines, which the Company's
manager states, is furnished with
each of the Wilson shuttle sewing
machines without extra price. Truly,
this is a golden nest. egg for the
Wilson Sewing Machine Company,
and it is said, they are running their
works day and night and making
and selling 300 machines day.

More than once has the public wor-
ship of God in His own house on His
day been interrupted With the pro-
family and obsenity of a drunken
man. More than once has drunken
constable reeled through our streets
to an Office where a drunken magis-
trate dispensed Justice. Day after
day and night after night have our
highways fesounded with the yells
and denoniac cries of parties madden
ed by bad whiskey, and more than
once, by nights favoring darkness,
have women, gently reared, crept
along by the he ierows and fences
seeking to evade observation that
would expose husbands and par
ent's cruelty and crime. Young
men have reeled along our highways
in open day, and openly advertised
the shame of their bondage to the
whiskey king. They have gathered
in bar rooms, groggeries and saloons,
thence to poker tables, thence home,
plundered and robbed Oftheir not too
abundant means, while families
there have shivered in scant
clothing or shed bitter tears
over q table that did not and
could not appease their hunger.
Had the money that was spent on
liquor and on cards been used for
clothing or for food, there need have
been no scarcity of either. This is
no new story that we tell. 1t is
known to all our citizens, and we ask
them to press and enforce the demand
for such legislation as is needed to
stay the ravages that this loose sale
of stimulants is making in our town
and county.
We have tried every available pro-
posal to curtail this trouble but moth
ing seems to avail, and it is more
than time that the law interposed
with its penalties and power to COM
pei men to control their base appe.
titles, or indulge them at the peril of
certain punishment.

The death of Pope. Plus TX, in
Rome, on Thursday last, was the
leading editorial topic of most of the
daily journals throughout the Uni

to affect the destinies of a hundred
races, many of them known only by

know upon what manner Of man the
pallium of the papacy is to be put,
and through what new conflicts the
destiny of Constantinople is to be de-
termined."
The New York Herald touches
especially on the liberal tendencies
of the Pope during the early years of
his snle, and the subsequent causes
which led him to more absolute as
sertion of the doctrines of the Church.
ItSays:
In this true child of Italy there
was little asceticism, no rigidity of
manners. no assump ion of awful
dignity. The prilgrims who came to
see him from all parts of the earth,
and to ask his blessing, found him
not merely urbane. but delightfully."-
free and winning in all his ways. He
had a smile and kind word for all
who approached him. He spoke to
protestants, heretics as he regarded
them, with gentle suavity, and they
left his presence full of admiration
for the good old man."

argues that the object of increasing
the revenue would he better reached
by the passage of a more stringei
license law. The bar-keepers, it
argues, will cheat" the bell punch,
as the conductors do who use it on
the railroads and moreover. the
vendors will adulterate their LIQUORS
to compensate themselves for the tax
enforced by the bell-punch. To this
it will probably be answered that
the railroad companies find it largely
to their advantage to use the bell

cheating; and that as regards the adj

have the same motive to adopt that

A SUSPICIOUS VEKDICT.-Th

the case of Anderson is very suspiL
cious one-guilty with recommen-
dation to mercy. Why recommen-
dation to mercy? If the members

crime Of forgery in the matter of
election returns no mercy should be
shown them. There could be in such
case as that nothing of sudden
passion or swift temptation, as there
might be in case of murder. The
crime, if committed at all. was COM
mitted in cold blood and with delib-
Grafton. 1t should insure the severest

Readiness for War.

AS matter of course the powers
that are about to take part in the
European conference are preparing
to make a show of their readiness for
war. Germany is always ready |;
Austria has large part of her army
near the Servian frontier; Russian.
troops are still pouring into Rouma-
man., and the French and Italian gov
ernments hold their armies in readi-
ness. The British government is
about to secure special war grant of
six millions sterling, and the fleet is
not far from the Bosphorus. All the
members of the conference will rep.
resent powers that are fully armed
and prepared to strike at a moments
notice. But upon whom will the
heaviest part of the striking" fall !?
This does not seem to enter into any
of their calcu lations except so far as
the governments to be represented in
the conference are concerned. The
only interest manifested is as to the
plight in which the great powers will
come out ofthe war, while the suffer-
ings to be inflicted upon the masses
who fight the battles of these powers
are not thought of for moment

The mob which hurried from his

Chisholm's health, but naturally they
are very tender with those of their
number who have been nominally

The Jackson Times asks us if the
men arrested hy our Sheriff, and who
were indicted for the murder of CHS
holm, are kept as common prisoners.
They are not. Bill Gully has been
on parole on account of the critical
condition of his wife. Jesse Gully
has been o. parole on account of the
serious sickness of his mother and
sister. These men asked the Sheriff
for this temporary release, pledging
their word to be ready when wanted.
This seemed to have been satisfactory
TO the Sheriff, who is required by
law to give good bond that he will
faithfully discharge his official duties.
Whether it was satisfactory to the
public we are not prepared to say,
but the men indicted met at De Kalb
yesterday and, through their counsel,
were to have sued out a writ of hah-
