THAT little fish try TO bring themselves into
popularity by representing that large and reg
ular established houses are trying TO copy after
them, manufacturing goods similar to theirs,
or using patents and claims of theirs. This
might do in the Patent Medicine line, but in
the machine business men have eyes 10 see for
themselves, and do not have to take the dose
and wait for results. But we are not SUR

THE ESTERLY
Light Draft, Self Binding Harvester

Light Draft, SelfBinding Harvester.
Having sold a number of these machines for
the harvest of 1882, and they having given
such entire satisfaction, surprising all other
makes with which they came in competition
during the harvest of 1882, in performing the
work for which they are designed and sold, !
was constrained to accept the general agency
for the States of Virginia, West Virginia,
Montgomery county, Md, District Of Colum-
bia and the counties Of Sullivan, johnson,
Washington; Carter and Greene, in the State
OF Tennessee, having secured the general
agency, and having believe the most simple
and durable, and only perfectly reliable bind
er made, can offer inducements TO farmers TO
purchase this machine in preference to all 9TH
ers. Having the general agency will carry
a full line Of extras, which any farmer in this
locality can appreciate as a great advantage
being so much nearer to him in case he needs
repairs. The Esterly Binder is the only bind
er made which will go right along cutting and
binding every sheaf without any fooishness
or delay and time lost in running after ex-
perts to fix them when ont of working order :,
those who have used them know we'll the force
of this argument. An illustrated catalogue
furnished on application, giving full detail of
points OF excellence over other makes of bind

Regarding Fire ESCAPES.

The newspapers are still engaged in
drawing lessons from the Milwaukee
fire, and of course are mainly howling
for fire escapes. The inspector in New
York cily has been aroused to action,
and the Grand Union hotel is the first
one called upon to put up outside lad
ders. Probably the ensuing summer
will see a great many handsome struct-
ures defaced with the ugly excreseen-
ces. Probably it is good thing to sat
isfy the public demand !: but until the
Lord gives people who are in danger of
fire self-possession and courage which
will enable them to use their natural fac
ulties in escaping burning, fire ladders
will not save them. The only effective
way to haul such people out of the
flames will be to make them sleep on the
upper stories of high buildings with
iron chains securely hitched to their
night dresses, the said chains being run
through the windows and attached to
suitable lowering apparatus. Or we
might have lines shot through the win
dows from the houses on the opposite
side of the street that life cars might be
drawn back and fourth, after the man
ner in which the life-saving crews on

n striking Illustration of the magni-
tude to which small matter will grow
in the eyes of people who constantly
contemplate it and quarrel over it, is
presented in the cngrosSment of the
Tennessee people over their late state
debt, which is really a very small thing
for SO great a state, and could be paid in
full 10y its people without their feeling
the burthen of it at all. Fer years, how
ever, they have been looking at it aud
talking about whether they shall pay the
half, or the third, or the quarter of it,
until now they are in IL state 0! mind
which makes the majority of them feel
as though their existence as. a people
depends upon their avoiding the pay
ment of more than d fourth of the debt.
The political parties in the state have
divided on the question Of the third o.!
the fourth, no one at all apparently
reaching the altitude Of honest spolia
tion which would incline him to offer to
pay the whole. Naturally those who
think they can pay the smallest amount
have proved to be in the majority at the
polls, and now their representatives are
tting ut the state capital so!emnly con-
Siderng an elaborate bill which offers
to the creditors the fraction which thev
say, and no doubt sincerely balieye, is
all that they can pay and live.
Meanwhile, the state treasurer h;ts
run of with all the loose money
in the treasury, apparently conclud-
ing that while the Legislature was
cutting away three quarters or more Of
the debt for the benefit of the people of
the state generally it might as well cuo
off another slice for the benefit of the
peoples treasurer, who had need of the
money for the development of his mines
in Mexico. The idea is rather a good
one, and we do not suppose the creditors
of the state will kick against it very
violently. If they give up So much to
the state they will hardly be very
seriously concerned over the toll taken
by the treasurer. He has quite as law
full and reasonable lien upon it rs the
people, whose only advantage is the fact
that they have the money and can't be
made to pay it. The treasurer also las
the money and can't be made to refund
it. The cases are parallel and the equities
are as paSy "a the hOnOrS

SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. l3, 1853.
AChance for Reform.

If the committee OF the Legislature,
appointed to investigate the subject Of
public printing and the other commit
tees which are appointed to consider
measures of retrenchment, are sincerely
interested in the subjects assigned to
them, they can very easily strike one lead
which will open up way to retrench
where there has been waste. 1t has been
the fashion for the Legislature to reck-
lessly order larger quantities of
public reports of various charac-
ter to be printed for the use
of the House and Senate, the number liz
the gross generally affording per capita
distribution of from Is to 50 copies Of
each document for each member OF the
Legislature. These publications are put
into boxes and shipped, at considerable
expense to the state, to the members at
their homes, most Of whom relate
that they have trouble getting
rid Of them, except for fuel, and
that the well made and well-paid for
boxes in which they are cascd are much
more highly esteemed in the rural re-
gions for wood boxes than the publIca-
tions are regarded for information. The
agricultural reports are said to be CT real
value and in demand in the farm
ing regions, but, under the present
indiscriminate system OF dlstribu'
tion, large proportion OF the
agricultural reports go to Philadel
phia, where nobody cares for them
except such ploughmen as Cfilds and
Drexel, who compose the Pennsylvania
farmers club the coal mining reports
are distributed as lavish.y in exclusive
ly agricultural counties, as in Lacka
wanna and Schuylki!l; and, of measures
affecting cities. the rural counties are
flooded with the publications., which
lack of adaptation only increases the
useIessness of the supply.
This might measurahly be remeded by
leaving the distribution OF reports to the
several departments issuing them, to send
them to such persons as they are specially
requested for by members of the Legis
ture. This would meet every want. Ii
would cut down the cost of the public
printing materially ; it would save the
present sums annually paid out foI
forwarding Documents" and it would
remove one excuse forthe liberation of The
pasting and folding department.. If thel
the folding and mailing of the Recor"
were entrusted, as they manifestly ought
t0b be, to the contractor for its publca
tiOn, the pastors and folders could he en-
tirely dispensed with, and AT least $l5,
600 besaved TO the state per session in thi
alone. It seems to us that these reform
are 50 manifes;iy practicable that the.
might be legislated for at once.

Bi:ISlSG ACCIDENT.

Striking against An Iron Railroad Fridge.
Last evening c. NJ. Strino and Harry
Copeland We're returning from Nef1sville,
and upon reaching the iron bridge, recent
II erected over the new line of railroad,
just opposite McGovern's farm, they met
with an accident. This bridge is made Of
iron and in the middle is partition, also
of iron, which divides 1t, making two
narrow rOldways. The iron work is painted
white and is therefore difficult to see az
night, when there is snow on the
ground. When the men drove up to the
bridge they did not observe the partition
until almost against it. The mare they
were driving was trotting and Mr.. Strine
quickly pulled her towards the right. 1t
was too late however, as the sleigh struck
against the first post Of the iron PARTITION
and was upset. Mr. Copeland was sitting
on the left side and his b ad struck the
iron 4 terrible smack. He was picked up
bleeding and brought to town, when Dr..
George A. King attended him, and it was
found that he had q very ugly cut on the
left side of the forehead. This was sewed
up, and although Mr. COPELAND will have a
sore head, his injuries are not as bad as
they might have been. Mr. StIine was
thrown from the sleigh and fell across the
bridge but was not hurt. The sleigh was
badly broken and tie horse was caught
short distance from the place Of the dis

an old Maryland family of prominence ard
afilusnce in Southern Maryland. After
the assassination Booth and Harold drove
to his home and he dressed Booths injur-
les. He found that Booths right les was
fractured, the bone being broken clean
through just above the ankle. The leg
was much swollen and DR.. Mudd insisted
on Booth remaining at his house all day
aud iato the next night. He gave him the
necessary surgical attention, but the pur-
suit of the assassin being fierce at mid
night Booth was guided from the house to
the Potomac, when be rowed over in boat
to the place where he met his death ard
where Harold was captured.
Dr. Mud5 was at once arrested, tried,
convicted and sentenced by the court to
be confined for life at hard labor. and
President johnson ordered him and
others to be sent to the Albany peniten-
tiary. He was subsequently, sent to the
Dry Tortugas, where, during yellow
fever epidemic, he rendered such valuable
services that, after few years contiue
ment, he was pardoned by President
Johnson. About year or two ago he
brought claim for those services before
Congress, but it was not allowed.

Life Desirable.
The excitement caused in Erie by the
suicide of Reeder Moore, has been intensi-
fed by developments of still more sem
satioral character While dying of his
wound Moore sent for Miss Christina Pat
terson, the young lady who declined his
proposal Of marriage, and begged her to
forgive him FOR killing himself on her
account and thus bringing her into such
unenviable prominence. In tie excite
ment of the moment Miss Patterson
promised to marry him if he recovered,
promise that was heard by Will
lam Mcclellan, the suicides successful
rival. The promise dispeied Moore wish
to die and awakened fierce desire to live.
A little later the doctors declared
the wound mortal a,id bade the suicide
give up oil hopes of life. After this Miss
Patterson did not want to SEE the end, but
left under the escort Of Mcclellan. Short
ly before Moore's death he left instruc-
tions for his funeral and request for Rev.
MIR. Sweet to deliver the Grafton. He
then called for Mr.. Cummings and
ordered tho room to be cleared, that he
might unburden in private to his friend.
Frank Moore, brother to the dead man,
said the confession has something to do
with the case Of Charles Stafford. SEN
fenced to 20 years imprisonment some
years ago for waylaying and assaulting
young school teacher, named Edith
Woodward, and who was convicted solely
on the testimony of the suicide. Cum
mings refuses to divulge the secret con-
fided to him, at present.

But seriously, 50 long as We have tall

of life at their burning and the modern
elevator adds greatly to this danger, not
only by affording a flue to draw the fire
from basement to attic, in moment, as
it was drawn at the Milwaukee fire, but
by leaving the guests largely unac-
