The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with us, "ior

The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it-but more to obligc the agent
than ANYTHING else; for we really did not
want the machine. and had not the remot-
est idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, ii was
natural that the ladies should look it over;
they did so, and IA Il consequence fell IN
love with it, They say that without the
slightest wish to decry or dispara e any
other machine, this, all things considered,
is, in their opinion, the most desirable one
to be had
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine WAS disposed of, and the

THE MAJOR DIDN'T APPEAR,


Although an Appointment Had Been
Made for Him TO Receive Notice OF His
wifs's suits.
Mai. Nickerson, the mysterious, has not
yet been seen in Washington, although it was
thought that he would be last night. II was
rumored that he was to be served with a sum-
mons to appear and answer the charges in his
wife's suit by deputy marshal at the Office
of Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson. At7 o'clock re-
porter visited that Office at the appointed
time, and saw tho man with the writ, though
the gallant major was not to be seen. Mr..
Wilson, who is Mrs. Nickersons lawyer, stated
that he had been told also that the major
would pay him visit, and for time expected
him, but the hour named being long past he
believed the story to be hoax.
Mr.. w. b. Matthews, one Of the counsel for
Miss Lena d. Carter, said last evening that so
far as he is informed, Maj. Nickerson left this
city on the Friday preceding the setting aside
of the divorce in Philadelphia and that he
has not been in this city since. Mr.. Matthews
was in Baltimore on business at the time OF
the separation, and when he returned to this
city found tho major at his house, No. 1437
Rhode Island avenue. He spent only two
nights there, and during this time Miss Car
ter never once visited the house. but was
constantly at the bedside of her dying sister.
Mr.. Matthews thinks both ladies have been
dreadfully deceived, but of the two he thinks
Miss Carter the most deserving of the sym
pathy of the public; that she is lady Of
| great refinement, and is completely over
whelmed by the mlsfortunes that have be-
| fallen her,
