One of the most curious lacts connect
ed with madness is the utter absence OF
tears amid the insane. Whatever the
form of madness, tears are conspicuous
by their absence, as much in the depres-
sion of melancholia, or the excitement
of mania, as in the utter apathy OF de-
mentia. Ii patient in a lunatic asy-
lum be discovered i'll tears, it will be
found that it is either a patient begin
ming to recover or an emotional out
break in an epleptic who is scarcely
truly insane, while actually insane pa
ttents appear to have lost the power OF
weeping; it is only returning reason
which can once more unloose the foun-
taius of their tears. Even when luna
tic is telling one in fervid language how
she has been deprived OF her children,
or the outrages that have been perpe-
traleu on herself, her eye is never even
moist. The ready guSn OF tears which
accompanies the plant of the sane wo-
man contrasts with the dry-eyed appeal
of tue lunatic. 1t would, indeed, seem
that uears give relief to feelings which
when pent up lead to madness. 1t Is
one OF the privileges OIL reason to be able
to weep. Amid all the misery OF the in
sane they can tnd no relief in tears.

SEWING MACHINE EE.

1. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces more
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more Grrabie
and wears far less than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
the price of the machine.
g. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping Of the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock Of the two threads while the machine ia
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
4. The independent takezup, which draws up
the thread when the needle is outof the mate
rial, prevents the chalng Of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF 30 large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making hrlner
and more beautiful stitch aad watcr-tight

Is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not r" puckered,' a point Of especial
importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents the

sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad
justed, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rails, or vice versa. without variation.
s. The needle is set by simply placing III nj
position the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
| machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF cord IN
place Of thread, which is important for many
purposes. =

material from the lIghtest gauze to the heav-

T. The parts OF these machines are perfectly

to the heating property of the coal the
steam is decomposed into hydrogen, car

THE RED RIGHT HAND.

Buffalo Bill will appear this evening at
the Grand Opera House in the drama of
the "Red Right Hand" with his Indians.
A Washington paper speaking of the
drsma, says: 1t abounds in startling situa-
tions, daring encounters and exciting
escapes, and withal is lightened by vein
of genial humor in the introduction of an
Irishman and Chinaman. Mrs. Jones, who
personated "Grace," gave additional evi-
dence of her histrenic talent, whilst Miss
Dernier made most charming and dashing
Princess "vincent Vernon, the Red Right
Hand" was acted with spirit by Mr.. Main

of the Scouts, was natural in the hands Of
the original" The closing scene, show
ing an illuminate life-size pcrtraiu of
Custer overlooking the sanguinary field Of
the battle with Yellow Hand and his tribe
