A new style of ballot-box wa

A new style of ballot-box was
used in Massachusetts, for the first
time on the 4th. The voter de-
posts his ballot face downwards
on an inclined plane, and the turn
ing of crank carries it between a
pair of rubber rollers, and the ring
ing of bell announces that the
ballot is within the box. On one
end if the box is registering ma
chine, in plain sight, containing
numbers, the register advancing
one every time a ballot goes
through. This arrangement. seems
to cover about all the requisites Of
a convenient and desirable ballot
box, and there is now apparent rea-
son why the whole country might
not adopt it with advantage.

Delivers Fine Grafton, at the Capitol, on
Politics.
A colored orator addressed the Repub-
leans, last night at the Capitol. Before
the meeting, Capt. Ham Davis turned out
his corps of Blaine and Logan guards and
paraded the streets, with music and green
fire accompaniment Some three or four
hundred people gathered at the Square to
listen to the speaking, which was done by
William Murrill, of Washington, D. c.,
formerly of louisiana Col. Murrill
is a handsome negro, with fine suit of
clothes, and general Mr.. Tooter Williams
aspect, that might have indicated Thomp-
son street as his native heath. With many
of the colored race, oratory is natural gift,
and Gen Murrill had it to a rare degree.
His speech was intensely interesting, and
was interrupted by frequent applause. 1t is
true, he referred constantly to the "Mor-
risey' bill, spoke of the river Nile, over in
the old country, and said a.war was now
raging between Chinese and English gun
oats, but that did not make the speech any
The less interesting A large fragment
ofthe Grafton was devoted to the Irish ma
ion and, taking the one.from the colored

egro were hand-in-hand and heart to heart
in this canvass After the Fenian speech,

is interesting address with red light and

The thousands who saw the signal vic
tory of the New l. F. Singer machine at the
State Fair will be divided between amuse.
ment, indignation and contempt at the Do
mestics puerile attempt to cheaper or dis
credit our almost clean sweep of all the
honorS. Their unfounded insinuation that
their defeat was oecasioued by underhand
measures on part other competitors is a
reflection upon the Judgment and honesty OF
the State Fair officers and the excellent
ladies of the awarding committee, that can
only result in the merited contempt of all
good people.
We again state, emphaticaly, that only
FIVE first premiums were given on sewing
machines and the New l. f. Singer receiv
ed four Them The Domestic's ten or
twelve premiums were, with one excep
lion, given on fancy woodwork, fancy
embroidery and other attachment work Of
little,if any, practical utility or worth to fami
lies.
When the Singer enters for premiums it is
always on sewing machines, and we always
get them. In conclusion the public will
bear out our assertion that we have never
wearied it with any sewing machine con-
troversies," and we shall not, after this no
tice, be now induced to do so by concern
that would be glad to be advertised by such
controversy. Enjoying over three-fourths
the entire patronage of the territory worked
ny this Office we can well afford to watch
indulgently the struggles of the small fry"
We make no assertions OF doubtful mean
ing and hide behiud no suOterfuges. Go to
the two offices and examine the premium
cards and be satisfied as TO which machines
bore off the prizes.

ufacture OF Iron.
Manufacturers were forced into the steel
rail business by the action of the Amalga

in saying that steel nails will soon entirely
,upercede iron" This remark was made
Gy A. F. Heating Yesterday in the presence
Of Dispatch reporter, and when asked why
he thought so, said: Because steel nails
can be produced so much cheaper tinan
iron. A mailer can cut more vf them in a
day than of iron, and the sle6i nail plate
can be produced at 50 much
less cost. To-day the steel rail makers
are rolling out steel rails at less cost
than We can produce muck bar. Now you
want to know why. Simply because we have
to pay such a high price for pudding. and
and all the other wages are based on the
price paid for pudding tell you that it
is only question of very short time until
the Amaigamated Association will have
driven every single article of iron out Of the
market. saw steel rivets few days ago

Switzerland and came to this country when
young girl Thirty years ago she married
the son of wealthy parents who were OPP
rosed to the match and finally separated
The couple. She then resumed her maiden
name and became dressmaker. She had,
she claimed, peculiar sensations, such as
The sudden Strengthening of her arms and
other queer things. These she ascribed to
supernatural causes, and gathering
lew Germans about her began
series of religious meetings in

lhIe she worked some wonderful cures by
passing her fingers over the closed eyeliis
Of tie sick. While engaged in prayer there
appeared in golden letters in the German
text before Miss Meister the mysterious
words a.. Elimar Miramitta,' which she at
once translated into Holy Spirit the third

out mission similar to the Saviour's. She
claimed to heal the sick and worked mira.

that no worldly power can wrest it from
