THOSE solemn old boys who consti-
tute the United States senate, are
having lively time Of it. 1t is more
amusing than a country debating So
ciety, though hardly so instructive.
Senator Joe Brown being new COM
er and fresh hand, attracts attention
enough to excite the envy if not the
admiration Of all the old members.
Boar and Logan think that he IS guilty
Of treason in not.agreeing at once to
let the republicans elect a new set Of
officers to take the place Of democrats.
Old Joe retorted that he was
doing just about what the re-
putlicans had been guilty of. A
hungry crowd Of candidates ex-
pecting a chance at the various
big and little offices around the senate
is swinging onto the coat tails Of the
republican senators. and will not be
shook off. The applicants are numer-
GUS and hungry, and their board bills
are accumulating frightfully. 1t is a
momentous period in The history o.
the country, when a few stubborn
democrats can keep over hundred
republican Office seekers out of place;
where they could make good living
1t is no relief to the republican sena'
tors when one set of these hangers-or
get weak and drop out of line, FOR an
other set hungrier, leaner and
more clamorous takes their places
Really we cannot see what they are
going 10 do about it.

An Interesting Book.


In small illustrated book of sixty-three
pages, entitled "Genius Rewarded; or,
The history of the Sewing Machine" Col.
E. H. Ropes relates the discovery and in.
vention of the "frst practically successful
sewing machine, by Isaac Merritt Slayer,
in the year 1850, and the growth and ex-
tent Of the business now carried on by the
Singer Manufacturing Company The
story is told in an interesting manner CON-
mencing with an account of the disap
pointments and trials experienced by the
inventor and his associates, who with a
capital of $40, carried on and completed
the work, destined to create one of the
largest ma ufa curing corporations in the
country. To an impartial reader, the
claim made by Mr. Singer, that his inven-
lion proved to be the first successful sew
ing machine ever produced, must seem
thoroughly substantiated. On the 21st
page of the little volume now under con-
sideration, the peculiarities OF the Howe
and Singer Machines are tabulated. OF the
seven distinctive features OF the Singer ma
chine six are now in general use, while
those Of the Howe machine are entirely
obsolete. 1t is also shown that Elias Howe
admitted that tue first inventor of ma
chine for sewing a seam by means OF an eye
pointed needle was Waller Hunt, whose
claim in this respect has always been con-
coded by the Singer Company. The pro-
cess of manufacture is fully described and
illustrated in Colonel Ropes book. and
an entire history given of the rise and
progress of the Singer Manufacturing
Company, whose works at Elizabethport
are the largest OF their kind in the world
Aside from settling in reasonable minds
the yexed questions as to the invention Of
the sewing machine, the startling, fiction.

Amid its playing, and tho dark eyes come,
And with shy wonder look up to my face
just as they did last summer.
Oh, to think,
Child, made of God so fair and beautiful,
But these are left Of thee!
Thou hast laid down
Where the green pillows of the prairie grass,
Cover thy loneliness; thou canst not know
What sackcloth and what ashes clothe the hearts
That mourn thee, 'Manne"!
But no tears shall blur
The lustre of those bright dark eyes of thine;
Oh, child by angels led, thy feet have passed
Into the upper Homestead. 1t is well,
For God hath called thee and the sweet birds sing
Through joyous summer morns the songs of earth
Sing thou, beloved, the morning songs of Heaven
