The Usual Result.

1t is not to he denied that good
sewing machine is one of the most
important appurtenances ofthe mod
ern household.
We thought we had good
machine in our household until
one day the agent of the New
Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an oration
upon its characteristic merits.
'But," we answered, our machine
serves US nicely and suits us well,
and we do not care for another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his ma
chimes with us, ''for the ladies to
try"
The request was not unreasonable
SO we granted it-but more to oblige
the agent than anything else; for we
really did not want the machine, and
had not the remotest idea of buying
it.
The machine once IN the house,
it was natural tina. the ladies should
look it over; they did SO, and as
consequence tell in love with it.
They say that without the slightest
wish to decry or disparage any 9TH
er machine, this, all things consider
ed, is, in their opinion, the most de-
sirable one to be had.
The upshot OF the whole matter
was that the old machine was dis
posed OF, and the ''Light-
New Home" installed in our house
hold. 1t is pronounced a genuine
beauty and real comfort, and ''our
folks" wanted us to tell other folks
about it.
This unrivaIled machine is manu-
factured by the New Home Sewing
Machine Co., 80 Union Square, New
York, who wish us to say that all
who will send tor their new illust.at-
ed catalogue and enclose :heir ad-
(printed on another
page), will receive set of fancy
novelties, of value to
those collecting cards, &c,

COAL DISCOVERY.
A Three Feet Vein Discovered Less
Than a Mile From the
Court House.
=. p. EDWARDS MUCK.

For several years past coal has
been known to exist on the farm OF
j. p. Edwards adjoining the city on
the northwest. and in several places
mining operations haye been carried
on in small way. While digging
4 pond not long since MIR. Edwards S
took out quite a lot of coal, and dis
covered what he believed to be a
permanent vein of coal. Men were
put to work making further investl-
cations, and have succeeded in find
ing to certainty that the vein is net
only permanent and lasting, but that
it is fully three feet thick and in
places even thicker.
Mr.. Edwards will put an addition
al number of experienced miners
at work immediately with view of
supplying all local demand for coal.
The place OF discovery is within a
gun shot Of the court house, and
tends to demonstrate what has SO
often been said that there 10 plenty
of black diamond within our midst.
The deposit is found under a sur
face of about seven feet, and is a
most excellent quality of coal, equal
to that found in the vicinity of Wal
nut.

7. 9 Amazons Of KurdIstNn.

The women of Kurdlstan, says the
London Duly NeacS, are stated to be
strongly opposed to the census, and
even disposed to resist the curiosity OF
the enumerators with their lives. Ac-
cording TO intelligence published in
the Indian papers they have for the
moment entirely frustrated an attempt
to take a census among them in Rizan,
although the ,nsus officers were sup
ported by the military.
The women of several villages, :" five
hundred fair and strong marched out
in body and attacked the troops, who,
whether actuated by fear or gallantry,
turned and fled. It is added that the
Turkish authorities viii find it no easy
task to overcome the resistance of an
inquisitorial visitation of their homes
by the Kurdish women, who are rather
famous for their AmazOnian prowess.
Those who are familiar with the de-
tails of the Turco-Russian war Of 1855
will remember the Kurdish lady who
went to Constantinople at the head of
a thousand horsemen Of her own rails
ing in support Of the national cause,
and para led and handled these troops
with much effect before the Turkish
military authorities.
