The First Sewing Machine in India.

In the days when the sewing-machine was
i'll its earliest infancy, lady residing in
India imported one, and for a long time kept
its mysterious working hid from the ken Of her
native tailor. This functionary was the very
slowest of his proverbially slow "caste" and
wasted no end of time drawling over hem and
stitch. One day his mistress comes to him
arm-laden with yards upon yards of some dress
fabric. "Dirzec" says she, "how long will it
take you to run these breadths together"
'Tree day, Missis,' replied Dirzee ''Missis,
please, plenty too much work. ''Three
days! nonsense! Three hours you mean. You
are very lazy man, and I'll cut your pay.
Give me the stuff. I'll do it myself" Then
the lady retires to her boudoir, from the in
most penetralia of which sharp and continu-
GUS click and whirr reach the tailor's ears He
can't make out what the sound is, and he is
much too lazy to speculate on it. He contin-
ues to chew betel and yawningly to ply needle
and thread. After an hour or two "Missis"
comes back, and throwing at Mr.. Dirzee's feet
the raw material now fashioned into a COM
pleted skirt says, "Therel Seei You wanted
three days, you sleepy fellow, and have done
it already" Astonished Dirzes turns over
the drapery, examines the seams scrutinizes
the stitch, and satisfies himself that all is prop
er and according to tailor's rule. He is con-
founded. 1t passes his understanding. There
lies the work done and no mistake. But how?
He springs up from the mat ON which he has
been squatting; he kicks over the little brass
vessel which holds his drinking water; he scat
ters right and left his thread, needles, thimble;
he stops not to put on his sandals or adjust
loosened turban and wastcloth. Scared and
bewildered he runs for very life into the ba-
zaar shouting as he goes along, "Shitanl Shi-
tan! 1.-THE Evil one! The Evil oneD He do
tailor business that Mems house. lsten
hearl He cry 'cleek, cleek, cleekp Two hour
time he neber stop cry. Denl Plenty too
much true dis word l tell. Ebery bit true All
dat work finishl l not go back dat bungalow"
And he never did.-Chambers's journal

Gleanings from the Mails.

Gen. John Mcdonald of whisky ring noto-
riety is finding the way of transgression hard.
His wife is dying of a cancer; the "Sylph," his
mistress has been expelled from Green Lake
(Wis.) summer resort where she proposed to
board; and the general has squandered his
property and has just been found guilty at
Fond du Lac, Wis, Of assauting Lawyer
Williams.
Gen. Fremont's little scheme for turning the
water Of the Colorado into the great desert
basin of California and Arizona, and thus
making an inland sea of it, is held by good
engineers to be almost insanely visionary.
Gen. Stoneman says: "It would take river
1000 feet wide and 10 feet deep, running at the
rate Of miles per hour, 200 years to fill the
basin; and after it was filled it would require
river $50 feet wide, 10 feet deep and rum
ming at the rate of miles an hour, to COM
pensate for evaporation"
Bob Toombs Of Georgia is said to be worth
half a million. He bought 100000 acres of
Texan land in the infancy of that state, at II
or 10 cents an acre. They are now worth

Sherman'S Visit.

Although the Republicans are rapidly or
ganizing throughout the State and have al
ready put in many days work, the formal
opening of the political campaign takes place
tomorrow evening, when Secretary Sher-
man addresses the citizens of Portland. The
cannonade on the enemy's works will be
opened by the heaviest guns.
There will be much curiosity to see and
hear the Secretary. But deeper interest
than mere curiosity attaches to his appear
ance here. 1t is expected that his speech
will indicate the line of argument and criti-
