An interesting Book.

In small illustrated book OF elxty-lhree
pages, entitled "Genius Rewarded or, The
Story Of the Sewing Machine" Colonel f. II.
Ropes relates the discovery and invention OF
the first practically successful sewing ma
chne," by Isaac Merritt Singer, In the year
1850, and the growth aud extent of the busi-
ness now carried on by the Singer Manufac-
turing Company. The story Is told In an In
terestlng manner, commencing with an ac-
count OF the dlappointments and trials expert
enced by the inventor and his associates, who,
with capital Of $40, carried on and complet-
ed the work. destined to create one OF the larg-
est manufacturing corporations In the country.
TO an impartial reader, the claim made by Mr..
Singer, that his invention proved TO be the
first successful sewing machine ever produced
must seem Thoroughly substantated. On the
2lst page of the little volume now under con-
slderatlon, the pecularItles of the Howe and
Singer machines are tabulated. or the seven
distinctive features Of the Singer machine, six
are now In general use, while those OF the
Howe machine are entirely obsolete. II Is also
shown that Elias Howe admitted that the fret
inventor of machine for sewing seam by
mems of an eyepolnted needle was Walter
Hunt, whose claim In this respect has always
been conceded by the Singer Company. The
process of manufacture Ia fully described and
illustrated In Colonel Ropes book, aHd 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 vexed questions as TO the
invention of the sewing machine, the startling
fiction like manner In which the story is told
renders Colonel Ropes little work most In
teresting contribution to the literature of its
class.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June /, 1881.
The interest here in the Albany contest was
intensified yesterday by the reports of the bal
loting in the two branches of the Legislature.
In view of the claims of the stalwarts regard
ing Conklings strength, much surprise was
manifested at the small vote he actually receiv-
ed. No one believes that Conkling has the
slightest chance of success. Some comment
has been occasioned by the report of con-
ference that had been arranged between the
President on the one hand, and the Vice-Presi-
dent and the. two New York Senators on the
other, which might have resulted in an AMIGA
BILE adjustment of all differences, but which
did not come off because of Mr.. Conkling's
failure to be present 1t is related that on the
day following that on which the President sent
Mr.. Robertson's name to the Senate 1t was
known beyond a doubt that Mr.. Conkling and
the other Representatives of New York were
greatly dissatisfied. On that day two Members
of the Cabinet called upon the President and
suggested that conference should be held,
as above indicated. The President accepted
the suggestion and set apart that evening for
the interview. The two members of the Cab
met made arrangements, as they thought,
with the Vice President and the Two Senators
for the Conference, and 1t was understood that
it should take place at 1880 at the White
House. Afterward Member Conkling demur-
red and refused to o,although his companions
were willing to attend. On this account the
interview did not take place. The President
waited an hour and half for his expected
visitors. It was known that had the Conference
taken place an ate mpt would have been made
to readjust the whole matter satisfactorily TO
all persons concerned. Now that CoDkling's
defeat is assured Governor Cornell and Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, are the first choice Of the anti
Conklingites.
President Garfield and several Of his Cabi-
net officers will, if no unforeseen event pre-
vents do some little travelling this summer
On the 10th instant, in company with friends,
he will go to Annapolis and attend the annual
ball at the Naval Academy. In the first week
in July he will go to Massachusetts, probably
In company with Secretaries Blaine and Hunt
TO attend the annual commencement at Will
1iams College. The President Is not only a
graduate Of the College but also one Of the
trustees.

Mrs. Garfield has been entirely free from

A member of the Investigating committee
in the Treasury Building was asked last even
Ing as to Its progress. He replied with shrug
and laugh that implied that the report of the
Investigation was far IN the future. The fact
is, big game may be struck If the investigation
had been allowed to 20 on, and so 1t has been
hushed up.
