The Internal Maohinc.

The Internal machine can hardly be
called q new invention. The explosive
force of gunpowder was too d%estructivr
an agent to escape the notice OF the
disaffected. The shell no doubt sgg-
yested the Orsini bomb. Ii was de-
,tructiye, but it was bulky. No MAJ could
larry many of them about his person.
It vas effective against individuals, hut
oowerless against society. Againss the
weapons of organized governments it
VAS as impotent as the knife. Shells
thrown by hand were no match for
shells thrown from n Conse-
luently, while Orsini bombs have been
used with fatal effect against individuals
they have never faced the organized
forces of society, and have had no effect
upon the problems of war. But science
has been busy with explosives since Or
sinis day. 1t has concocted com
pounds which develop ten times
she destructive force of gunpow-
der; it has put into human hands the
! very t~hunderbolts of Jove. They can
be carried in quantities about the per-
son; they can be thrown by hand or
with a sling. Nicely of aim is unneces-
sary. Whatever they strike they pull
~yerize, and kill all within a certain ra-
dius. They can be manufactured cheap
", secretly and readily, Any manufac-
turer of bad smells in the basement OF
a soap factory can turn out more means
of destruction in a day than Krupl
could in a century. Nay, the work
could be done in any back kitchen. II
the devil delights in the horrors of war,
he must be in ecstacies over these e
inventions. They introduce us to q
warlike outfit, cheap and easily manu-
featured, which every one can own and
every one can use. Is it likely that the
block upon the game of rebellion vii
be continued long? Are the guardians
of society justified in ignoring the fact

Very Rare Failure sett1en,ent.

Moses Fraley Of ST Louis, who failed last
week for a half millioA, has notified his Chica-
go creditors that he was prepared to settle all
his accounts by paying one hundred cents on
the dollar, and asked them to send their state
ments. as he wants to clear off his indebted
ness. MI. Fraley's creditors offered to settle
witt HIM at S335}G6 cents, but he declined the
proposition and has notified them, not only in
Chicago but New York, Philadelphia, and
other places, that he will pay dollar for dollar,
due. His aggregate Indebtedness outstanding
is $3.50, COG, of which $3.50, COO is due in Chica-
go. This, with margins paid prior to the sns-
pension, makes Fraley's total losses over
$500, OW. His action in paying dollar for dol
of his creditors to settle at 4 much less figure
is highly commended by all classes of dealers

We thought we had a good machine in

Neao Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon Its
characteristic merit.
But" we answered, "our machine serves
lis nicely and suits us well, and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with us, "fol
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable SO we
granted it-but more to ohligc the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the rcmotcst
idea of buying 1t.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did SO, and as a consequence fell IN love
with it, They say that without the slight
est wish to dccry or disparage amy other
machine, tIiis, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to bc
had.
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the
