American Enterprise.

Word comes to us from across the water that W. G. Wilson's visit to Europe was to make arrangements for the man. ufacture of the New Wilson Oscillating Shuttle Sewing Machine in England for the European market, and that the we'll known :" Wellington Works" of Old nam, near London, owned by stock company known as Bradbury & O.. Qimlted), for the manufacture of the Singer, Howe, Wheeler tG Wilson, and Wellington sewing machines, since 1850, have been secdred for the manufacture of the Wilson Oscillating Shuttle Sew ing Mao chimes exclusively hereafter. An interview with MT. Sheldon, the general manager of the Wilson Sewing Mschine Company, elicited the fact that our in- formation is correct, and that this course WAS absolutely necessary in consequence of the incapacity of the company's large works at Grand Crossing to turn out g sufficient number of Wilson sewing ma. chimes to supply the American market, -SeaUi9ag Machine AdVance.

Do It We'll.

Whatever you do, do it we'll. A job slighted, because it is apparently unim- portant, leads to habitual neglect, 50 that men degenerate, insensibly, into bad workmen.
 "That is a good rough job," said a foreman in our hearing, recently, and he meant that it was 8 piece of work not elegant in itself, but strongly made and we'll put together.
 Training the hand and eye to do work well leads individuals to form correct habits in other respects, and good workman is, in most cases, good citi- zen. No one need hope to rise above his present situation who suffers small things to pass by unimproved, or who neglects, metaphorically speaking, to pick up cent because it is not dollar.
 Some of the wiseet lawmakers, the best statesmen, the most gifted artists, the most merciful judges, the most in- genious mechanics, rose from the great mass.
 A rival of certain lawye' sought to humlllate nm publicly by saying "YOu blacked my fathers boots once." ''Yes, " replied the lawyer, unabashed, "and did it we'll" And because of his habit of doing even mean things well, he rose to greater.
 Take heart, all who toll all youths in humble situations, all in adverse cir cumstances, and those who labor unap- preciated. If it be but to drive the blow, strive to do it we'll; if it be but to wax thread, wax it we'll if only to cut bolts, make good ones or to blow the bellows, keep the iron hot. It is atten. ton to business that lifts the feet higher up on the ladder.
 Says the good Book: "Seest thou { man diligent in his business, he shal stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men,"

An English PaStime.

The newest pastime at English coun- try houses is tea tray toboggin, which is thus described by an eyewitness :- "You take 8 tea-tray to tho top of 8 good flight of stairs, sit on it, hold on to the sides of the tray with both han Is and let yourself go! If you manage we'll you slide down the whole flight of stairs quickly and easily and bring up at the landing on the bottom if you don't manage it properly you turn round when part of the way down and get a good crumpler. The advantage of this game is that the ladies can play at it, and in the house where I saw it played they toboggined far better than the men, who generally lost their tray and them selves half way down the stairs.

In great rage, the Czar stepped tue droschky, and angrily asked the soldier what he was doing. The imminence of his danger partly sobered the latter. He rose in his car- riage, drew his sword, and galuting the Czar, said {: "I am taking a drunken soldier to the gparl-room, your Majesty" The Emperor Nioholas smiled, gave the soldier a f7e-rouble piece, and told his coaohman to drive him, no5 to the guard-room, but home.

A KENTUCKY SCANDAL.
Louisville Society Agitated by an
Affair which Threatens Seri-
GUS Trouble.

LOUISVILLE, May 18.-A com
motion was caused in society circles
here to-day by the announcement
that persons belonging to the best
families in the State were actors in
a very dark scandal. The facts as
stated are that Mr.. William IL.
TomlInson, a brother of ex-Secre-
tary Belknap's wife, was prevented
from killing his cousin, E. Stanley
Bowman, by the interference OF his
father and the appeals of his
mother. Tomlinson and Bowman
are partners in business, the father
of the former having given both
their starting money. Two years
AGO TomlinsOn married Miss Jessie
Buckner, of Greenyille, Miss, who
was attending school at HareodS-
burg, KY, then the home of her
husbands family. Miss Buckner is
as accomplished as she is beautiful,
and while in Kentucky was in the
care of Little Phil. Thompson, Mil
ton J. Durham's successor in Con
gress. Miss Buckner is descended
from a distinguished family of Mis-
sissippi, and is a cousin of Senator
Beck's wife. Bowman's uncle is
Regent of the Kentucky University
at Ashland, Henry Clay's old home.
His father was recently United
States Collector at Lexington. The
cause Of the breach between Tom
linson and Bowman was the discoV-
cry Of the former of an improper
intimacy between Bowman and his
wife. Confessions were forced
from both, the wife declaring that
her husbands partner and cousin
had drugged her with wine. Her
husband sent her to Mississippi and
Bowman fled to Washington. 1t is
feared serious trouble may yet grow
1ut OF the affair.

The Murdered Judge in Kentucky and
the Generalization it Shows.
Louisville A ge.

We would be kind to his memory,
but two facts stand out in bold and
startling relief, clinging to this dead
Judge ike the heavy gray moss to
branches OF the live-oak of the
South, weighing them to the ground.
A State official said he approached
this judicial officer in Buford's be-
half. He did not say that the
Judge was offended by this insult to
his judicial character and to the
dignity and purity of the ermine
which clothes him with authority
and power to pass upon the rights
of property and lives of his fellow
citizens. This official is a man Of
influence, and from the dead Judges
judicial district. The murderer says
he killed him because he gave him
ga disgusting apology for his adverse
opinion. No matter how false this
statement may be, and if true, it
could not in the slightest degree
extenuate this horrid crime, the
facts remain that this Judge did
apologize or excuse his opinion
without the slightest apparent con-
seriousness that he had dragged the
judicial ermine in the very dust of
tie ground, and had cheapened
himself as Judge, and his office
and the value of judicial utterances
before the entire State.
Is it true that the elective Judi
ciary has demoralized and de-
bauched the people in Kentucky
throughout all the relations of life,
and that flowing back upon itself
from very excess it has now lowered
the bench until the Kentucky Judge
has become respector of persons
as we'll as a politician Depend
ent upon politicians and wire-pullers
for nomination by his political par
ty, the Independent Judge in Ken
lucky has ceased to exist.
