THE USUAL REsULT.-It IA not to be de-
MED that good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtenances of the
modern household.
We thought we had good machine in
our household until one day the agent OF
the Mem Home presented himself at orr
door and proceeded to deliver an Grafton
upon it, characteristic merits.
But" we answered, "our machine
serves us nicely and suits US well, and VIC
do not care for another"
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with us, for
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable 80 we
granted it-but more to oblige the agent
than ANYTHING else; for we really did not
want the machine, and had not the renlot-
est idea Of buying it,.
The machine once in the house, 1t was
natural that the ladies should look 1t over
they did so, and ~ n consequence fell in
love with it. They say that without the
slightest wish to dccry or disparas c any
other machine, this, all things considered,
il, in their opinion, the most desirable one
to he had.
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the
Light Running New Home" installed in
our household 1t is pronounced n gcnn-
inc beauty and real comfort. and "our
folks" wanted us to tell other folks about
it,,

GUITEAU's SEKELEToN.-AW Wash
ington special says: The skeleton of
G. j. Guiteau, assassin Of President
Garfield, has at last been placed on
exhibition in the Army Medical Muse
UNI. 1t is deplayed in new case in
the north end of Museum Hall, which
contains in addition the skeletons of a
boy, negro girl and an Indian chief.
The two former are labeled, but the
skeleton of the assassin bears no mark
except the small letter opp on each
distinctive section of the frame. The
skin Of Guiteau's head is stuffed and
preserved in large jar of alcohol, in
the curatops Office, and is in an excel
lent state of preservation, the facial ex-
preston being perfect. One the prin-
cipals of the museum stated that the
flesh was not thrown into a sewer, as
has been stated, but was cremated in
the museum boiler at noon of October
30, 1882. There will doubtless be a
rush of spectators to see the skeleton
next week.

Poetgu.
A W0MAN'S Wall.

Oh, it's hard to be a woman with hor-
rid house to keep.
And bright poetic fancy that will not
be Iulled asleep;
1t is maddning to g" struggling with
ideas great and grand.
It's confusion to be rhvmiug with a
buster in ones hand.
It's hard to have flow of soul upon a
washing day,
With int"rludes of soap and roast and
clearing things away,
When fairest dreams are mingIing with
wild knocking at the door,
And, mauy come to call that day that
never called before.
It's hard when one is writing OF the
"mountain's gloomy grit"
TO be rcqu sted just "to sew button
on this Shirt"
It's funny how prrsistently the love OF
writing clings
TO a woman whose chief work in life
seems laid in other things.

IHE TACTICS OF THE OPPOSITION.
One side, in the present campaign, is
contending for the mastery by assail-
ing the character of their opponents
and attempting to destroy the good
names and regulations of men who
have ever been true to their fellow
citizens and their State in every emer-
gency. Thus do they expect to tri-
umph over whi1om friends and COM
rades. On the other hand, the cam
|paign is being conducted in a manner
that will leave the escutcheon of the
aspirants untouched by calumny, and
as bright when it is over as it was be-
fore it began. The people who are
calmly viewing the manevres and
methods of the contending factions.
we lave no doubt will signify in an
unmistakable manner their condemna-
ton of those who seek to eleyat.
themselves oyer competitors they have
placed under the stigma of ungenerous
accusations. Such lesson will IL
administered this time that will for
ever more exclude vituperation from
all contests for nomination in the ranls
of the Democracy Of louisiana Ca,
itolian-Advocate.

HERE Is fresh anecodote from
the battlefield of Gettysburg: "The
party passed through Gettysburg and
out south on the Emmettsburg road,
where the flag Of the Second Division,
Third Corps, was seen flying from a
fence corner, and as the white diamond
came into view it was greeted with a
cheer. This was the identical flag fly
ing on the identical spot where it way
ed on the second day of the battle,
when Sickless was driven from the ad-
vanced position which he occupied. In
the history Of the fight, as published,
Sickles' action. in locating his line here
is claimed to have been a mistake, but
1 was assured to-day by party who
claimed to know that Sickles did it to
bring on a battle, being under the i'm
preston that Meade would not fight
here unless forced. The conversation
between the two Generals, when Meade
rode out to the exposed line, was ex-
ceeding]y concise. Said Siekles: ~
will withdraw the line if you wish.
On it, said Meade, they won't let
you And they did not, for at that
moment the shrill Confederate yell was
raised Immediately in front, and Long
street came down on the crops like an
avalanche"

POSTAGE REFORM.

= On the first of October the new re-
duced postage went into operation in
this country. 1t was confesscdly an
experiment. With the same amount
of business as we had last year, the
government stood to lose from SILL
100000 to $4,000, 900, but, it was
claimed, that in consequence of the re-
duction in rates, there would be an in
crease in the mails that would offset
this. The experience of the past month
has clearly vindicated those who adj
vanced this theory, and the govern
ment authorities, on the basis of the
business so far done, are able to pre-
pare an estimate Of the revenues and
expenditures of the Post Office Depart
ment during the coming year. The
receipts, it is estimated, will amount to
SAT, 104,47S, as much as was received
last year. The expenditures, howev-
er, have generally increased, and are
estimated as high as s50,0G2, jag,
whish will leave a deficit of $685.
HI for the year. This small deficit
is an indication Of the wisdom Of Con-
gress in reducing postage; it is likely,
however, that !, will be even smaller
than is now thought, as it is reasona-
BILE to calculate on business improving
every month. 1t is not improbable
that the year will show a deficit as
small as s1,0O0,0OO, and possibly no
deficit at all, but surplus revenue for
the fiscal year. The country will watch
the financial movement of the Post Of
flee with interest, as it is understood
that a favorable showing will be i'm
mediately followed by a reduction on
the local and newspaper postage, and
other desirable changes New Or
