HMERICAW ENTERPRISE.

No invention of the nineteenth
century has worked a greater rev.
olution III household economy Or
conferred more of q benefit on 1lu.
mal,ity than the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude
and uncouth 10 the extreme, and
it was reserved for American skill
and ingenuity to bring forth a
machine Of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great
advancement which has taken
place it is only necessary to com
pare one of the machines built
during the infancy Of the inven-
ton with one of the latest i'm.
proved Light j.. Running New
Home"
All the really good points con-
tanned ia other machines have
been utilized in its construction.
Many new improvements and de.
vices have also been added, the
result of which is q machine as
nearly perfect as it is possible to
make one.
For simplicity, durability, case
|of management aud capacity for
work, the Light Running New
Home have no rival, and the hap.
Ipy posscs8or Of one may'rcst as.
sured that he or she has the very
best the world affords.
All who send for the company's
new illustrated catalogue, and en-,
close their advertisement (printcd

She has Lot been seen since last

some other jewelry from q colored

here from New York on Thursday

that she went away alone and

he sought to turn them over, re.

so they arc treated as prisoners
of war. In the mean time the
Apache War Department, which
is not bound in rcd tape, threatens
to promptly massacre its white
prisoners, and wade in front;ei

And now the Indian Bureau twid.

We are no sooner rid of the

favoritism and collision in the
placing of contracts. It is well
understood that favoritism and in.
dividual profit rule the roast in
placing all government contracts.
and it is not likely that Hills case
is singular. Disappointed con-
