The Usual Result.

1t is not to be denied that q good
sewing machine is one OF the most
important appurtenances OF the mod
ern household.
We thought we ha! a good machine
until one day the agent OF the Nesc
Home presented himself 1T our door
and proceeded to deliver an GRAFTON
upon its characteristic merits.
But" We answered, "our machine
suits us well and we do not care for
another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege Of leaving one OF his ma
chimes with us, "for the ladies To try
The request was not unreasonable,
so we granted it-but more to oblisc
the agent than anything else, for we
really did not want the machine. and
had not the rcmotest idea OF buying

The machine once in the house, il
was natural that the ladies should
look ii over; they did 30, and rs Il
consequence fell In love with It. They
say that without the slightest wish
to decry or disparage any other ma
chine, this, all things considered, il
in their opinion, the most desirable
one To be had.

A Chorus lslrI's sv,o.
New York letter.

lASCW Aoih AE5NtCasl
Do you fully appreciate tho dominance OF
the nose over the other features Of the facet
In the last Lydia Thompson burlesque COM
pany that came TO America was chorus girl
owhom a few lines We're given to speak. Sh.
had o pleasant voice, fine figure, much apt
ness, and indeed all the requisites for advancing
on the stage, excepta pretty face. And, when
her features came to he scrutinizsd, it could
be seen that her nose was wholly to blame,
for its Roman shape anfemnlized a counter
ance that would otherwise have been delicate
and regular. Well, Billy Mestayer, tho
"Toursts" man, is said to have engaged her,
but she has new name and new nose. She
was broken in various places by railroad
accident in England n year ago, and her
nasal things worst of all ''The surgeon told
her." says the jocose Messenger, "that her bones
could NIL be set in good shape, but that the
cartilage of the nose was likely to resist his
mind that she exclaimed; ANY change is
bound to Ire an Improvement. Go right
AHEAD on it. He put her ncso in splints Us
VOL as hc could, and let it take its chances.
Well, sir, the breakage Strengthened it out;
that is, it took the big angle out though
some now and smaller variations from perfect
symmetry were introduced. On the whole,
however, there was q vast Change Tor the
better. Mott important Of all, the heavy
masculine expression, that had been the CHIEF
fault of her face, was gono--completcly
knocked out-and in its place was decidedly
pleasing, pi1uant cast Of countenance The
| new nose is a tribe irregular-not the sort oi
nose to b easily classified but it Is in
clined to be prettily quizzical Anyhow, that
sn,asli-up was stroke Of good fortune fos
her, because it removed the one thing thai
prevented her from becoming u successful
actress" As Mcstayer won't give the nam,
of the girl, you can do as you please obou'
relieving that she exists.

A Mexican Hacienda.
ICor. INDIANAPOLIS Journal. I


Much has been said and written about the
extent and possibilities of these Mexican ha.
ciendas but probably few people realize the
enormous extent of some OF them. In the
central and northern states OF Mexico ara
found estates large enough to hide many
principally of Europe or states like our own
little ''Rhody." A million and a half Of
acres--of this fruitful soil which bears every
thing grown in both temperate and tropical
zones, and produces two crops a years. a
nea. little farm. by NJ means to be ode
spised" Us the immortal Sairy Camp said Of
'syittals." The famous So'ado ranch, for ex
ample, contains over six hundred square
miles. 1t lies partly in the states Of Nuevo
Leon, Coahuila, Zacatecas and San Luis Po-
tosi, on the highway to the City OF Mexico,
and on tile line Of the new Mexican Central
railway. II is at an elevation Of 1000 feet,
on the famous central table-lands of the re-
public. Its boundaries extend more than q
hundred miles from north to south. Chains
OF mountains, how rich in mineral wealth no
man knows, traverse it, and fourishing farms
and mining towus are met with at frequent
Intervals The fact is, ell Mexico is owned
by comparatively few individuals, which is
the reason why there is such wide distinc-
tion of caste and 50 little progress in asricul-
ture end manufactures. Generally the pro-
prietar Of these vast estates enjoys life abroad
or in the City of Mexico, and his poems liv-
ing on the land take about rs much interest
in the cultivation thereof as would negro
slaves without an oyerseer

meut for the believers in the grand
old party OF God and Morality"
The campaign, in opposition to re-
publican ring rule, under the leader
ship of Gen. Butler, now going on in
the Bay State, is "red hot" Gen.
Butler speaks twice IL day, often three
times, and on Saturday last, Oct. 70,
he spoke four times, in four differ
cnt towns. The meetings are largely

large meetings everywhere; last
night Ut Watertown. nearly 800 peo-
pie could not got into the Large town

fore. To night shall speak in Law

one thing we have 10 fear, the enor-
nous amount of money used by the

A Big Mortgage.

The Canadian, la Crosse and
South western railway company has
put mortgage on its line or oad in
Iowa, for eleven millions Of dollars,
which sum will probably be, and ic
main u perpetual debt upon it, limo,
a5 tho interest il the object sought
by capitalists in milking the aivanc-
es. This interest il Of course to be
paid from the products Of labor, no
matter who may advance 1t, ulti-
mately the tax il paid, falls upon the
producer. Do the producing class
understand the burden Of this inter-
est debt, whether upon railway pro-
ject, or upon the purchase Of farm
or other property? Interest at six
per cent paid in half yearly install
ments, reloaned ut six per cent per
annum, equals the principal sum in
eleven years and nine months. Now
what does this signify? Why simply
that for the use Of this road III
years, the producing classes agree
to pay in interest alone, nearly en-
ough to build another road right
along side Of 1t. Not only this, but
it promises to make this thing per-
petual. And SO in purchasing n farm
on time, at six per cent payable as
above, the purchaser for the use OF
that farm LII years agrees to pay
for the bare use OF it sum equal to
its cost. The same facts hold true
as to the public debt Of the country
At six per cent interest, labor pays
for the forbearance every liz years
a sum equal to the principal. Such
facts are potent reasons why Nation
ais demand the speedy payment OF
the public debt, without regard to
the adverse interests of the National
banks. And they are potent reasons
why money should be OF sufficient
volume that its increase from inter.
est should not exceed the average
increase from labor, of every othe,
species Of wealth. This increase as
shown by each decade OF our federal
census has been about p per cent
Hence, when labor pays more thar
that for the use Of money, its pay
ment Is usurious, and should be sc
dcnominated in law.

Col. Dudley, the commissioner Of

Col. Dudley, the commissioner Of
pensions, presents in his annual re-
port the following facts:
The number Of pensioners during
the year has grown from $4,000 to
100000. and there arc now 2ii,OOO
claimants, whose cases arc not yet
adjusted. OF this number $4,000
are for arrears OF pensions and the
others, having been filed since July
l, 1880, are not eligible for back pay
mcnts. From a careful analysis,
made by experts, Colonel Dudley
estimates that OF the claims for ar-
rearagea about 60 per cent, OF $4,000
will be allowed. These average now
about S1400 each, SO he thinks that
about sl23,000000 will still be re-
quired before the arrearages are set
tied. II the barrier fixed by limiting
the time for filing them at July 1st
1880 shall be removed, a much larg-
er sum will be required. It is worthy
of note that since IL board CT eyamin-
ing surgeons has been required, in
stead Of one physician, the average
arfearage payment has beenfeuuced
form Sl9UU 10 Sl4UU.
Considerable complaint has been
made that the commissioner asked
from congress in past years a larger
appropriation than he ha. been able
TO spend. He explains in his report
the apparent slowness OF the office
in settling claims. Or the 2i4 900
applications now on file, more than
2oi,0 are delayed through the neg
lect OF the claimants. They have
filed their papers which are Ill right
as far as they 90, but in some re-
spccts they fail To comply with the
rules, and the office Is still waiting
for answers to letters asking for fur
Their information. Some $4,000 eases
are in the hands Of special eAamin-
ing agents all over the country, some
are in the surgeon generals Office
and only n fraction over 5000 are in
a stage where the pension bureau
can be working on them, on account
of the delay by claimants the force
is not fully employed, and the pay
ment of arrearages is not forwarded
as it should be. 1t is an interesting
fact, that OF tho $4,000 invalid pen
sion papers now filed, but not acted
upon. only 14.7s6 are for wounds re.
ceiyei. and $4,000 for injuries. Near.
| ly 10000 are based upon diseases
in May cases SO extremely dillicul
to tace to any army service, thai
the examining boards are bafiied.
