Interesting to Ladies.

Our lady readers can hardy fail to have their at
tention called this month to the latest combination
of improvements in that most useful of all domes
tic implements. the sewing machine"
AS we understand it, machine for family
should meet first of all these requirements 1t
should be simple in its mechanism il should
easily; should do wide range of work it should
be as nearly noiseless as possible; it should be
light, handsome, durable, and cheap as is con-
sistent with excellence throughout.
These conditions the "Light- Running New
Home" certainly meets. 1t has also several very
important and useful attachments and motions"
of its own which go far to make good its claims to
popular favor.
Now great many families have been and
still using the old Misunderstanding for the times
to improve; waiting Cor the latest improvements in
designs and mechanical excellence.
But why delay longer? Considering the low
prices at which good machines are now sold, and
the improvements that have been made, now is a
good time to buy and the New Home," speci
ally recommends itself to purchasers on account
of its superior mechanical construction, of
management and reasonable price. Nearly half
a million have been sold in the last three years,
MI OF which are giving universal satisfaction.
This unrivallcd machine is manufactured by the

ton Of said events that there is one
item Of great Importance that should
not be overlooked.
We have been connected with
bands tor some years. SO we speak by
what We know. We consider that
the musical talent of ST. George, gen

always being requested 20 play bu'
never receiving as much as q copper
for services rendered
Now If any of the community a.
large are requested to do day s work
they must have pay for the same ard
why not pay the Bands! for their days
services? One Is as reasonable as the
other, yet the latter is more so. for
bandsmen have to spend weeks in
practicing before they become prof
cient; and then, after spending s.
much time without remuneration,
surely they ought not be requested to
play for your benefit without paying
them for their services. A working
animal must be fed and cared for, so
bandsmen should be "remunerated. :"
for in this country it is laborious
enough to have to work for what we
get without being Obliged to labor for
ever in band capacity gratui ously.
Reason and Justice should prevail,
and sword to the wise" ought to
be sufficient.

Struck n Happy Mean.
(lsrflnMd Lender.

II we are permitted to jndge from the
wide diversity of views expressed in re-
gard to this bill, we must conclude that it
has struck very happy mean between the
two great extremes of opinion entertained
on this important subject. 1t has dis
satisfied the extreme free traders and the
extreme high protectionists. Mr.. Beck,
the champion OF free trade in the Senate,
denounced the measure as disgrace
full concession made to the wealthy iron
and steel manufacturers, and some OF
these manufacturers, in their turn, were
incensed beyond measure, and declared
that the bill would ruin their business.
Large importers of Australian wool have
besieged Congress for heavy reduction OF
the tariff on that article. Prominent DEM
ocratic members of Congress favored this
reduction, alleging that it would lower the
price of all kinds of woolen clothing.
They asked for a heavy cut in the
schedule on wool, and they received
a reduction Of from two to four cents
per pound This was not enough
for the free traders ant. they are are conse.
quently enraged. On the other hand the
high protectiOnists are dissatisfied. Manu-
factured wooden goods OF the finest quality,
such as elaborately trimmed cloaks and
dolmans, bear a heavier rate of duty than
that placed upon the cloth upon which
they are made, and this gives dissatisfaction
to quite large class of importers in New
York city. The great mass of the people,
however, will be benefited by these reduc.
tions because they will buy their goods at
cheaper prices.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The most conspicuous changes made IN
the metal schedule were in advancing the
duty on iron ore from so cents to IS cents
a ton. 1t lad been fixed at so cents oy the
Tariff Commission, and both the Senate and
House bills adopted that rate, which was
equivalent to II. .43 per cent. ad valorem, the
rate under the present tariff being ~ per
cent. ad yalorem. The rate fixed by the
Conference Committee is 26 per cent.
ad valorem. Pig iron was liked AZ
Sc 70 ton, the rate recommended by the
Commission and that adopted in the House
bill. The present duty is 81 ton and that
fixed by the Senate was So so. Cotton ties
remain unchanged. Steel rails were liked
at St7 ton, or 90 cents less than the Com.
mission recommended. The Senate had
fixed the duty at SIS 6S, so that the IN
crease is not material. The existing duty
on steel rails is $2S ton, and the reduction
will be exactly Sll ton under the new
tariff.
That the tariff may be regarded as
definitely settled in all Its aspects Is
not to be expected. Attempts Will no
doubt be made to change it in some OF Its
features, but the nervousness whicn mas
prevailed for so long time, and which has
inflicted so much mischief upon many
branches of industry, will not be exper-
fenced again for several years. The next
Congress will not be disposed, for political
reasons, to attempt to overturn the protec-
tive system which lies at the basis OF our
national prosperity, and there is no reason
WHY the year 1883 should not mark very
decided and gratifying revival IN all the
branches of trade.

NOTES FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-The iron trade
has been creeping along with much caution
between dangers which hamper it on both
sides and at this hour is still in an unset
tied condition with both favorable and uu.
favorable influences surroun ling it.

The transactions since last report have
been of the same character as those which
have characterized the market for several
weeks past, small lots at low prices. No
one buys more than for immediate use.
Makers have endeavored to sell few out.
put but even low prices do
not induce buyers to accept No.
l foundry has sold all the way from $24 up
to $40, although from $24 to SIS is the aver.
age selling price for ordinary, and some Of
the finer brands are able to command from
SIS to S36. As 10 accumulation statements
differ. Some furnaces have stocks on hand
and are not seeking to market their own
output faster than buyers can be found who
will pay their prices, while other furnaces
have no stocks at all, having sold early In
the year the bulk Of the first quarters re-
quirements. No. iron is in fair request
in small lots but the demand does not take
all that is made, and hence prices are
weak, especially the poorer brands.
Quotations run from S22 to s23. Prices are
altogether unsettled and each transaction
fixes its own price. Mill irons are in the
same unsatisfactory condition and stocks
are accumulating though not fast enough
to make producers apprehenslve. The
opinion is still quietly expressed that as
the tariff fight is over and Congress has ad
journed that everything will right itself in
few weeks with improving prices and de-
mand. This is certainly comforting con.
clusion and one which helps to keep prices
steady. Forge iron has been selling in
small lots all week between $40 and S22,
with all average at about S2050 to $2l.
Several leading companies are satitied ey.
erything will come out right, but the pres
ent silualiOn is unsatisfactory.

DR.. NJ. A. Randall, of Roseville, ten miles

ringing about midnight. He arose and
went to the door, returning telling his
wife that he was sent for by John Smith,
who lived three miles from Roseville.
The doctor saddled and mounted his horse
and went away, but has not been seen
since. Saturday evening, the doctor not
having returned, his wife became
alarmed and sent TO Smiths to
find if he was still there. To her
surprise she was informed that she was not
there nor had be been called there, as no

and perhaps murdered. Another is, that

RISING RIVERS.
Serious ApprehensiOns Along the
Lower Mississippi.

Serious ApprehensiOns Along the
Lower Mississippi.
ST. LOUIS, March 5.-The latest news
from the Lower Mississippi river is that the
water at Helena is rising at the rate OF
one.h half inch an bour, and it is now
thought that the highest point OF last
year will be reached. The leyees still hold,
and it is believed they can and will resist
an additional rise. A good deal OF
nneasiness is felt, however, and
preparations are being made for
the worst. Boats and other floating ap.
partus are being rapidly constructed, and
the planters as we'll as the people in the
city, are furnishing themselves with
means of escape should the levees break.
The trestle on the Helena branch Of the
Iron Mountain railroad, at Langyille river,
thirty miles north OF Helena, which a
week ago was forty feet above water, is e1-
pected to be submerged to-day and trains
have been stopped until arrangements can
he made to transfer.
The men washed off the Memphis and
Little Rock railroad bridge, at Blackfish
bayou, reported last night, were rescued at
Arkansas City. The water is still rising at
the rate of three inches per day, otherwise
the situation remained about the same as
previously reported. Accounts from the
section between Friar's Point and Vicks.
burg, on the Mississippi side Of the river,
a distance OF about three hundrsd miles,
are that the reports Of damage have been
grossly exaggerated. The levy there is still
nnbroken. No danger is apprehended, and
the planters are busy plowing and prepar-
ing 10 put in their crops.
At Memphis.
MEMPHIS, TENN, March 5.-The river
here marks thrty-ive feet seven inches
since yesterday. At Helena, Ark, rise
of eight inches was reported yesterday.
This is from backwater of the Mississippi,
which has found its way into the st. Fran
els, which again eppties itself into the
Mississippi just above Helena. The st.
Francis rose eight feet last Thursday, at
Witttburg and the whole bottom lands in
that region are completely inundated.

Falls Short OF Expectations.

The 57th Congress has closed its labors,
having passed all the regular appropria-
ton bills and also the long-debated inter.
nal revenue and tariff bill. The river and
harbor bill was allowed by the Senate to
lapse from want of time to consider it, the
experience of the last session having
shown that that kind of bill demands
great deal of careful consideration. The
reduction of taxes effected by the internal
revenue portion of the measure 50 long
under debate is estimated at about $40, ,0OO,.
600; by the tariff portion, $25, 600 600, OF
which about Sll 100000 is in sugar alone.
This is conclusion. OF matter so long
under discussion which falls far short OF
what the country had expected. A surplus
revenue OF from thirty to fifty millions an
nually will continue TO cucumber the treas
ury and tempt Legislators to extravagantap-
nominations,

NEW YoRK, March 5.-An old pilot said:
"The course of the Glouchester fishermen

many of the sailors have ever heard of
Virgins before; but they have all heard of
the Glouchester fishermen, and when
Glouchester fishermen won't go to sea a
