American Enterprise.

No invention of the nineteenth century has
worked q greater revolution in household
economy or conferred more of benefit on
humanity than the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude and un-
couth in the extreme, and IL was reserved
for American skill and ingenuity TO bring
forth machine Of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great advance
| ment which has taken place it is only ne
cessary to compare one of the machines
built during the infancy of the invention
with one Of the latest improved Light
Running New Home"
In the manufacture of this machine old
ideas have been discarded, and in accord
ance with the progressive movement Of the
age new mechanical principles have been
substituted Of such inherent and absolute
value as cannot fail to commend themselves
10 the most casual observer.
For all kinds Of domestic and manufac-
turing work the "New Home" is unequaled.
All the really good points contained
its construction. Many new Improvements
and devices have also been added, the re-
suit Of which Is q machine as nearly perfect
as it is possible to make one.
For simplicity. durability, case of man
agemeut and capacity for work, the "Light-
Running New Home" has no rival, aud the
happy poSsessor of one may rest assured that
he or she has the very best the world affords.

Twenty.Eight in Fine.

The following extract will be inter-
esting to those who do not know why
February was made so much shorter
than the other months:
In the distribution OF the days
through the several months, Caesar
adopted a simpler and more commod-
ious arrangement than that which has
since prevailed. He had ordered that
the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth,
and eleventh months, that is January,
March, May, July, September, and
November should have each thirty-one
days, and the other months thirty,
excepting February, which in common
years should have only twenty-nine,
but every fourth year thirty days.
This order was interrupted to crafty
the vanity Of Augustus, by giving the
month bearing his name as many days
as July, which was named after the
first Caesar. A day was accordingly
taken from February and given to
August, and in order that three months
of thirty-one days might not come to-
gether, September and November were
reduced to thirty days, and tihrty-one
given to October and December. For
so frivolous a reason, was the regula-
tion of Caesar abandoned for capri
cious arrangement which it requires
some attention to remember.

A Negro Lad Lives Week with An Inch
of Steel in His Brain.

On Monday morning, the 10Th, DIR.
Pope was called to see Robert Cannon,
negro boy aged about fourteen years.
The DR.. treated the patient for inflam-
nation of the brain, but to his great
surprise his medicines were without
effect; the case baffied his skill, and
on Thursday morning the patient died.
When the dead body was icing pre-
pared for burial, small incision
which seemed to have been made with
a knife, was discovered in the left side
OF the head. This excited suspicion,
and the Coroner held an inquest on
Friday, to ascertain the cause OF the
death.
Drs. Pope and Glider, who made
the post mortem examination Of the
body, testified that Cannon's death
was caused by wound inflicted in the
left side of the head near the juncture
Of the occipital and parietal bones,
with knife, the blade of which haT-
ing penetrated the brain to the depth
of an inch, was broken off, and remain
ed in the wound.
Two colored witnesses testified that
the colored people had hot supper
at the Hogc school-house on the night
of the 18th, and that about midnight,
they saw Robt. Cannon and two other
boys fighting Anthony Henly, near
the school-house.
An officer was sent for Henly, a boy
of twelve, who tried to make his escape
by running. At the inquest, however,
he confessed that he inflicted the
wound, but said that he was attacked
by three boys, and struck in self de:
fense. He was unembarrassed and
gave his evidence in plain straight
forward manner. He has been COM
mitted to Jail to await trial.
Though this wound was inflicted on
the night of the 18th, Cannon did not
suffer from it until the following Satur,
day night, and ne never mentioned il
to any one. A small section of the
skull with the little blade of an ordi-
nary pocket knife still firmly held
in the wound, was exhibited at the
inquest. This will be kept for the
trial, and then preserved as curiosi-
ty. DIR. Pope thinks that this case is
without a parallel. And nothing but
the astonishing features of the case.
has led us to describe the unfortunate
affair so particularly.

Preparing for a Flood.

The following report reached us from
Lauens County: A few days ago a
number of negro families on Mr..
Nathan Whitmire's place, near Mar
tins Depot, decided that another del
uge was at hand, and fell to preparing
an ark. They tarred and pitched a
double frame building, so as to make
it as much like Noah's ark as possible,
then carried their stock OF bacon and
chickens and whatever other eatables
they had into the ark. They put the
children in one room and nailed the
door shut. When everything was
ready, they closed the ark and waited
for results. The results came pretty
soon, but they were not OF the kind
looked for. Mr.. Whitmire thought
that they might as well play the fool
in somebody else's house on somebody
else's land, so without much ado, he
put an end to their tomfoolery. The
rains descended; the floods didn't
come, but Mr.. Whitmire did in a way
that is a warning to all future ark
builders.
