IT'S GREAT SIMPLICITY,
Being particularly free from all Compli
cations, always ready to work, and
easily understood by every one,
even the most inexperienced.
All Machines are guaranteed by the Com
pany and its Agents.
1t is the lightest running Shuttle Ma
chine in the world, requiring little outlay
of strength, and sews with great speed,
and never skips stitches.
1t has Self-Threading Shuttle, and re-
quircs no adjusting of the tension every
time new bobbin is placed in it. No
time wasted in veXatiOus delays in get
ting the Shuttle ready to work. 1t is al
ways ready.
1t is the most Durable Machine that ever

every Public Exhibition in which their
Machines have been exhibited, including
our late Centennial, where they received
TWO AWARDS, one for the Machine,
and one for Work done on the Machine.

JOHN BRowN's SoNs.-Owen Brown,
one of the sons of old John Brown, is
now the sole inhabitant of Gibraltar, the
beautiful home that the wealth OF Jay
Cooke reared years ago on one OF the
islands OF Lake Erie. This son was one
of the guard left by Brown over the
guns in the little school-house on the
Blue Ridge when he captured Harpers
Ferry. The son, on hearing OF his
fathers capture, made his way through
the mountains of Maryland and Penn
sylvania to safe retreat III northern
Ohio. A correspondent, who recently
visited Owen Brown, says ho asked his
guests into his ''den," as he called his
place of living. 1t was a small, square
room, where he lived and cooked. His
bedroom was overhead, and that, with
a cellar kitchen beneath, gave him all
the room he needed. The main room
was filled with little Of everything. a
gun stood in one corner, and fishing
tackle in another. A table was covered
with books, papers, lamp, dishes, sew
ing material, by which his mendiug was
done without outside help, and dozen
and one little contrivances that need not
be described. A cook-stove, few
chairs, model of boat, and few ar
ticles of clothing completed the furnish.
ing of the room, and rounded the usual
idea of bachelors apartments. This
semi.hermit life seems TO suit owen. His
brother, Capt. John Brown, lives on
farm in Putin Bay Island, and is iairly
prosperous.

CONGRESSIONAL CoNvENTloN.-Ihe
Congressional Convention that assem-
bled at Fairmont last Monday was the
largest political gathering ever held in
the district. The contest between the
candidates was hot and close, and 1t
was hard TO forecast the result. The
nomination of Judge J. b. Hoge has
given very general satisfaction, and al
though he was not our first choice we
shall render him a most hearty support.
His nomination was brought about by
the friends of Hon. Dan. Is. Lucas.
When the moment had arrived that the
nomination of Hon. b. i. Martin SEEM
ed inevitable If fanother ballot was taken
with both Judge II. and Mr.. l.. in the
field his supporters did not hesitate TO
carry out the will of the democracy OF
this side of the mountain, and that was
to nominate a representative OF their
own section. As Judge Hoge's votes
lead Mr.. Lucas, the latters friends came
over to him in solid pbalanx. When
Mr.. Lucas got upon the stand and, like
the noble Roman that he is, withdrew
from tine fight, the hearts Of oil those
present were most deeply moved, aud
one grand glorious shout of applause
went up for the man who was at all
times ready to sacrifice himself Tor The
interests Of his party. Although he
failed to receive deserved recognition,
yet to-day he occupies more eDviable
position than ever before, and he has
linked around him a following that will
renner him invincibe in the future

Votes Out of Nething.
Pittsburgh Chronicle, Ind.[


Is there not something very SUPP.
cious in the vote of Alabama? Gen.
Grant had a majority in Alabama of
nearly eleven thousand in 1872.
Four years later MFR. Tilden's major
ity was nearly thirty four thousand.
That was remarkable change. Now
we have seventy thousand majority.
Does anybody believe there were
thirty thousand unimproved votes in
Alabama in 1876? We are free to
say we do not. But there is way to
demonstrate the truth. Take st.
Clair county. In 1876. there were
polled in that county 1,629, votes-it
now gives Democratic majority of
1000. Et0wah, another county that
in '76 mustered total of 1876 votes,
now certificates to thousand Demo
cratic majority. Chiffon county,
which in '76 had but 1.14f votes,
rolls up Democratic majority of
1880. That is pumping very freely,
indeed. Why stop short of 1900
when the counting machinery was in
such good order? But there is
Downdes county again, with its 81 900
population, three -fourths black. In
1872 its total vote was 1854, Republic
can majority, 3054; in 1876. total
vote. 5,461 Republican, majority,
3,S43' /; in 1850, total vote not known.
because not counted, Democratic ma-
iority, I,29OE And in Perry county,
where the blacks out-number the
whites more than two to one, and
which gave upwads Of 2,00V Repub-
lican majority in 1879 and '76, comes
up cheerfully with its 1,40O Demos
cratic majority. When we look over
the returns from Alabama we are
convinced there is one place where
bricks may be made without straw,
and that is in Alabama, where they
manufacture votes out of nothing.

Democratic Responsibility for the
Rebellion:

From Speech delivered by Gen. Garfield in
Esthe House of Representatives Mar. IA 4,lS7Ol
My friend from Indiana (Mr. Nib
lack) is not himself an extreme par
tisan. But he has said some things
just now which deserve an answer.
Fe says that if the glory of the war
belongs to the Republican party,
then the results of the war, The ex-
pendituies of the war, and the bur-
dens laid upon the people in conse-
quence Of the war, fall also to our
share. A part of this statement l
indorse. But, Mr.. Chairman, / de-
sire to ask that gentleman and his
party a question. Suppose that in
the year 1861 every Democrat north
of the Potomac and the Ohio had fol-
lowed the Head of Grant, and Doug
las, and Dickinson, and Tod, and all
the other great lights of the Demo-
cratic party, had thrown away the
Democratic name and said that they
would be Democrats no longer, as
we said we would be Republicans no
longer, but all would be Union men,
and stand together around the flag
until the rebl llion had been put un-
der our feet. / desire to ask the gen.
tlemen, if these things had happened
how long the war would have lasted,
how much the war would have cost?
l do not hesitate to say that il could
not have lasted month, and the ex.
penditures of the war would never
have exceeded SIC, 100000. l say, as
a matter of current history, that il
was the great hope of the rebels o1
the South that the assistance of the
Democratic party of the North would
divide our forces and overcome oul
efforts; that at the ballot box the
Democrats at home would help ths
cause which they were maintaining
in the field. 1t was that, and thai
alone, which protracted the war anC
created our immense debt.
l come, therefore, to the door C
your party, gentlemen on the othel
side, and lay down at your thres
hold every dollar of the debt, every
item of the stupendous total which
expresses the great cost of the war
and l say if you had followed Doug
las there would have been no debt
no blood, no burden.

The Bounding Banning has actual
~ been renominated for Congress by
the Democrats of the Ed Ohio Dis
trict. This is great victory for full
ballot. Banning was shown to have
been elected by repeaters in 1876,
when his bogus majority was rs. The
proof was so indisputable that his
party did not dare torenominate him
in 1878, although he was very biatent
in demanding ''vindicatien." Han
cocks bold stand for full ballot has
evidently braced them up to the job
this year. His nomination harmon
izes the Northern and Southern DEM
ocracy, and makes both wings one in
desire to purify the ballot.box by
throwing out enough Republican
votes and throwing in enough Dem
ocratic votes to secure a majority for
reconciliation and change. Tne
Southern part of the experiment will
succeed, but Banning will fail to- hold
his end up,
