prominent qualities. This would en-
able children to learn the names read

A new and destructive insect is re .
ported on the farm of Emmor s..
Jones, in Chester county, Pa, where
it has nearly destroyed his fields of
young tobacco plants. 1t somewhat
resembles the Colorado beetle, with
a hard and unyielding shell. Its
operations are directed to the roots of
the plants, which it nips off and then
throws the rest of the plant out of
the ground. 1t burrows like the
mole under the surface of the plant
bed. and can be tracked at its work
by the movement of the earth. When
disturbed 1t ceases operations and
rolls over as if dead, but resumes
business when left alone.

Sleep fer Children.

If you would preserve your chill
dren from wasting diseases, do no.
stint them in their sleep; chlorotit
girls. especially, and weakly babies
need all the rest they can get. Il
they are drowsy in the morning, lei
them sleep; it will do them more
good than stimulantsa and tonicsirups.
For school-children in their teens,
eight hours of quiet sleep is generally
enough, but do not restrict them to
fixed hours; in midsummer there
should be a siesta-cornel in every
house, a lounge or an old mattress in
the coolest nook of the hall, or a
hammock in the shade OF the porch,
where the little ones can pass the
sleep-inviting afternoons. Nor is it
necessary to send them to bed at the
very time when all nature awakens
from the torpid influence of the day.
star; sleeD in the atmosphere of a
sitting bedroom would bring no rest
and no pleasant dreams. But an
hour after sunset there will be a
change; the night-wind arises and
the falnting land revives; cool air is
febrifuge and natures remedy for
the dyspeptic influences of suitry
day. Open every window, and let
your children share heluxury OF the
last evening hour; after breathing
the fresh night-air for while, they
will sleep in peace.-T L. Os,cdJd IN

A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuine
Singer Machine state these facts
That they er,ploy forty thousand
persons and eighty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco-
motive transporting machines and
material between New YORK and
their immense factory at Elizabeth,
n. J. The total estimate of offices
throughout the world is over four
thousand five hundred. Their fac
tory covers an area of thirteen acres
of ground. and every square foot
is daily used. The boxing and
Grating shop alone cut three hum
dred thousand feet of lumber per
month for boxing and Grating ma
chimes. To drive the machinery in
this enormous affair six stationary
engines are required, which have the
combined strength of one thousand
horse power. Four hundred men
are employed in the fouldry, which
melts up sixty tons of iron every day
in the week. Just imagine two
acre field filled every day with cast
ings for sewing machines. The ne
cessity for this great factory is the
constant demand for the Genuine
Singer machine, as the following will
show: In the year 1873 three-quar-
tiers of all the machines sold through
out the world were Genuine Singers.
and the following year they increas-
ed their sales over one hundred and
thirty. eight thousand, and during
the year 1880 they sold over half a
million Genuine Singer Machines.
Still the demand is greater than the
supply, as subordinate Offices often
have to wait for machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't he
humbugged with some new kind of
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit what
ever. Ifyou wish Genuine Singer
no Bogus call on or address 1. w.
Slonaker, Oakland, Md, who is agent
for this world renowned Sewing
Machine.
N. B. Singer agents will adjust
the Singer Machine wherever they
find it, free of charge, regardless of
the time it has been in use.

He talked long, learnedly, and, as usual,
rather dictatorially. Lincoln heard him

no remark. But when the stream Of
Senatorial eloquence finally stopped, he
said, to the utter amusement of his dis.

stood up, with all the reluctance Of Of.

The residents Of Cherry Creek have cir

held in that place by Judge Rives and
Geo. w. Baker, says: ut was Colonel
Sellers ON the stump throughout. After
finding that his hearers did not take
{. kindly to the railroad scheme, Judge
Rives lost his temper, threatened to leave
White Pine county in the cold and run
a.the road through Nye and Lincoln. The
7 speakers intended to visit Cherry Creek,
Z but before the meeting was over arrived
