AMERICAN EooK EXCHANGE FAILURE
A Word OF Expiana ion to Som. Readers.

During The past su.Dmsr the publishe; of
the NEW NoCTH-WesT authorized i,s Tfav-
cling Agent TO present TO preparing sub
scribers certain books published by the Am
erican Book Exchange, J Ohm B. Alden: Man
ager, New Yosk City We placed deposits
with the publishers, and ordered books as
they were desired. Laie in the season the
American Book Exchange notified Us that
they had placed all their miscellaneous
books i'm the hands of Leavitt & Co., book
auctioneers, New York, for sale; that no
further orders could be filed mil after said
auction, November Sth, but that .ae said
American Book Exchange would lake orders
from all persons having Doney on deposit
with them, or receive orde,s with caeh from
others aud purchase at said sale aud mail
any books desired, requesting pa.rops 10
specify prices that should be paid. We had
still some thirty untitled orders remaining in
their hands at The time, and double the
money they would cost. We at once wrote
the American Book Exchange TO buy the
books we had ordered al whatever price wa.
necessary to purchase them, and mail them
TO the persons designated. They subsequently
sent circular stating they had purchased as
ordered and would mail as soon as possible.
We rested in .be blissful belief hat after
much delay the purpose had been accom-
plished. This week, however, we notice ia
Bredstr eets and other eastern journals that
"The American Book Exchange" is quo.ed
among the list of "failed." We have, there
fore, but one thing 70 do-pockes the loss and
supply those we promised books from other
sources. This will be done. 1t will take a
little time, but 1t win be done all The same.
We regret the circumstances, for 10 The an
noyance and delay to patrons has been added
the direct loss 10 US of the money we had de-
posted with the American Book Exchange.
Incidentally we might mention that this is
the frm which has been making such liberal
offers on " The Library of Universal Knowl-
edge" and for which they had received many
prepaid orders. The universal knowledge"
of their patrons win now include the fact
that their money is probably gone where
the woodbine rwineih."

We Mean What We Say.

The Iight-rnnning New Home sewing ma
chloe. now for sale at the City Hotel, Deer
Lodge, combines the good points Of all the
other sewing machines with none Of their
defects. New and valuable improvements
have been added, and all complications
avoided, thus placing the New Home Mt the
head of all sewing machines hitherto manu-
featured. Never before has sewing ma
chine become so firmly established In so
short time. 1t has rapidly gained the con-
fidence and patronage of all who have ex-
amined it, and it is pronounced by sewing
machine experts and the public generally 10
be The best machine in The market to-day. IL
does not fatigue the operator, and requires
80 little effort TO operate that labor is trans
formed inro actnal pleasure. Its woodwork
is attractive In style. Its elegant finish and
rich trimmings are In good taste and harmon
ious with the excellent workmanship of the
machine. No other machine possesses the
superior worth or stalwart excellence that
have rendered the New Home so famous and
earned for IL worldwide reputation. Mr..
L'Rosenkrantz. the General Agent for Mon
tana, has left at our Office a piece Of work
done by the New Home which contains up
wards of thirty ,hicknesses OF cloth sewed
together, and we must say that IL ~ the heav-
lest sewing we ever saw. IL beats everything.
We think farmers of the valley who intend
buying sewing machines would do well 20
examine the liRht-running New Home, which
