A CARNIVAL FOR THE MAssEs--To morrow
our streets will be pervaded with an air of hay
seed, peanuts and gingerbread. The cause OF
this great outpouring of the people from the
rural districts will be the appearance of w. @.
Coup's New United Monster Shows and Great
Paris Hippodrome, which has Just closed the
most brilliantly successful season on record in
Cincinnati, and of which the Enquirer of that
city says
Judging by the tremendous throngs in at
tendance at each performance OF Coup's Great
Show Cincinnati is circus mad Never be-
fore has IN entertainment Of this kind been
patronized so extensively in this city, and new
or before has an entertainment of this char
acter given so much satisfaction. It is the
talk Of the town and ere it departs our popu-
lation will have taken it in. One thing can be
said in safety, in spite of the lavish promise
OF the great bill boards, no one in the vast
audience was disappointed in the show. The
hippodrome features stirred up the audience
to the highest pitch of excitement There
were flat races by blooded horses, with male
and female riders, exciting hurdle races, Ro
man standing races, two and four horse char
lot races, and the stirring Indian race for a
wife. The expression of enthusiasm was
simply stupendous during the racing. That
it is the biggest show under canvas is the uni
versal verdict notwithstanding these days of
mastodonic enterprises"

circumstances very different from and much
more favorable than those under which it
commenced its first. Surely the foundation

ago, by the plain but energetic people who
did it, was not wholly in vain

Messrs. Editors: Whatever may be said in
favor of the present law relieving towns from
responsibility in cases of injuries received on
the highways, there are two things which
ought not TO be overlooked. The first is this
In conversation with an able and influential
citizen of New Hampshire on this subject he
said to the writer, 81 think Vermont has
made great mistake in passing such law,
for as the towns are not now liable for dam
ages in cases of accidents on the highways l
am afraid the smaller towns will be remiss in
their duties and will not keep their roads in a
decent state for the public travel and the ten.
dency will be to drive people from the state. "
The second is this Whatever laws we may
pass affecting the welfare of the citizens of
our own state, we must look out for the safe
ty of the citizens of other states, and If our
highways are dangerous to travel and they
pass over them in good faith, believing them
to be safe, and sustain injury in consequence

The Past and Present Of the
Sewing Machine Trade.
THE PAST.

Prior to the year 1877, few OF the old companies,
by combining their patents managed to secure
elusive and onerous monopoly Of the Sewing Machine
business. So close was this monopoly that they were
able to exort from the public the most eItravagant
prices during long series Of years. and also to de-
prive the country for generation Of the benet Of
all the thought and experiments that being
pended in efforts to improve this most valuable aud
necessary article of household use BY continuing
year after year the manufacture Of the old
chimes, aud strangling the improvements which the
records Of the Patent Once show being uced
they forced the public to buy inferior machines at
orbitant prices.
In the year 1877 this combination broken up by
the expiration of the patents although strenuous eff
forts had been put forth to their extension and
the continuance Of the monopoly. This, however,
failed, and the old companies were brought face to
face in competition with the progressive ideas they
had so long labored to stihe. How did they meet
this Some Of them by endeavoring to improve their
machines; others by an effort to make the business
improbable by a reduction Of over GO per cent in
prices, thinking to the accumulations they had
wrung from the people by Offering to sell for $50
machine which, the day previous, they had held to be
worth $50.
