THE USUAL RESULT. 1t S not to be de-
MED that a good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtcnances of the
modern household.
We thought we had good machine in
our household until one day the agent of the
Nur Uome presented himself AT our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit.
But" we answered, "our machine serves
us 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, ''tor
the ladies to try
The request was not unreasonable SO We
granted it--bu more to obligc the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the rcmotcst
idea of buying it,
The machine once in the house, ii was nat
ural that the ladic, 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 decry or diSparagc any other
machine, this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The rpshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the
Light Running New Home installed in
our household. 1t is pronounced a genuine
beauty and a real comfort and "our folks"
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This unriyalcd machine is manufactured

Christmas IN the TomJs-A Quaint
Charocter-Heauy Saoaos.
New York December 29th, 1888.
On Christmas Day, which i'll fact
was as dreaya day, so far us the wealth
err was concerned, as the oldest inhabi-
tant could rfcollect. | treated myself
to a homeopathic dose against the
blues and visited the Tombs prison. -
1t was indeed a sight to see the hearty
relish with which the poor fellows
Gagged ia the cells consumed their
Christmas dinners. The place has
been hung With evergreens and Christ
mas trees, and Chrlstmassy odor per
vaded the drcary corridors. After a
walk through the prison and chat
with some of the inmates, | settled
down to quiet talk with Deputy War
den Finley in the co3ey Warden's Of,
fee. He had been in the Tombs for
over thirty-Gve years, and were he Of
the story telling sort, and inclined to
think much Of himself, what tales he
could relate rcplete with the pathos of
real life, the tears and the sorrows
which are sure to follow career Oh Il e
downward path.

Happy Editors.

What happy class of people these
editors are. 1t is generally known
and conceded that they are the happi-
est people on earth and there appears
to be no good reason why they should
not be. The editorial chair is evident
ly the pinnacle Of human happiness !;
and its occupant, no matter who he Is
or what his circumstances are, simply
leans back in solid comfort. Not a
wave Of trouble rolls across his peace
full breast. As mere matter Of world
ly honor and distinction, the position
is not to be despised and when we
look over into the vast and fertile fields
of enjoyment it opens up to human
heads and hearts its superiority be-
comes simply sublime. The entire land
of journalism abounds in rare fruits of
peace and plenty, and actually flows
with milk and money-Aoney meant
to say. There may be ten or dozen
editors in America who now and then
have symptoms-mere symytoms-of
sorrow but it is only question Of q
few weeks or months, perhaps, when
their happiness shall be complete
Editorial happiness Is achieved and IN

same scenes We're witnessed at all the
Club dinners. At the. appointed hour
the urchins began to present their
tickets to the man at the door and
creep timidly into the dining hall as if
they were crawling under ii circus
tent. There We're children of all sizes,
all ages, all styles of prettiness and
ugliness There were children on
crutches, children club footed, and
children otherwise deformed. Children
dressed in every variety of garment but
all very poor. They were brought in
from the narrow alleys, and squalid
quarters Of the city, and the good cheer
they enjoyed that day had never before
been included in their range of posi-
sbilitles. After dinner they We're
marched up stairs to the ball room
where were three heavily laden Christ
mas trees. TO lively music by the Ma
rine Band, the children received their
presents. Upon leaving the hall each
child was given u car ticket and a tin
horn. Each horn was thoroughly test
ed as it was taken from the big box
making the noise deafening. Nellie
Arthur the Presidents young daughter
had been assigned a prominent part in
the programme, and the President en-
tered the hall during the festivities and
received an ovation.
Congress has reassemblel and the
real work Of the session has begun
Many members returned to the city
last week while others half frozen ar
rived yesterday and to day. Some
members who are fresh from their con-
stituents claim to have received en-
lightenment direct from the people on
the looming question but when they
explain, it appears that they have only
received a confirmation Of their pre-
vious views. Republicans are repre-
senting thai Hr e;;,,C,cc. ".t,c mombers have
returned in discordant and despond-
ent frame of mind. They insist that
trouble is brewing in the Democratic
family because of the antagonism Of
interests in the two great committees
of the House; the one headed by Mr..
Morrison, and the other by Mr. Ran
dali. The former wants long session
with tariff legislation, the latter, they
say, wants short session without tar
if legislation. Chairman Randall has
already inaugurated economy in the
Committee of Appropriations. Ills
subcommittee on pensions has decided
fifteen millions, in addition to the
uncXpended balance, will be ample APP
preparation for pensions this year
THIS will give between seventy and
eighty millions dollars, figures that
reach what the Secretary OF the lreaS-
ury also thinks will be sufficient. Mr.,
Randall SAYS the committees will do
nothing to delay the payment Of pen
sions but thinks mon ey should be. APP
rropriatcd on basis Of what Is ncces
sary for the year, and not on the plan
of piling up millions to the credit of
the bureau. When Commissioner
Daslers asked for and obtained one
hundred millions Of dollars he estmat-
ed for large surplus that reached
thirtv-nine millions. Mr.. RandaIl'S
distribution of work among his COM
mttce men is significant of strict econ,
omy. The suspicious committees are
zealously guarded.

flowery, fluent, Aashy pen, which is
dipped in the milk Of human kindness
in lieu of ink. All editorial matter
from the "leader' down to the tiniest
''note,' must be inspired by love, and
should be stepped in mercy at least one
night before it is "set up 1t is the
duty and pleasure Of the editor to see
that every "form" actually drips with
loying--kindness before it enters the
"press." No 'copy' passes from his
kind hand that is not accompanied by
an earnest prayer that it may please
and edify every man, woman, and child
under whose observation it may fall
Sometimes those prayers are not an
swered. On account Of the wonderful
power and influence that attaches to
the position, the public expect much
more of editors than they do of other
people; and that is one reason why
they are so unspeakably happy. "Great
expectations" is not a sufficiently COM
prehensive caption under which to
state and classify what is expected of
an editor. He must be-well, the very
pink of perfection. He must be accom-
modating, wise, and witty. lie must
be slow to anger, plenteous in mercy ;
and his political independence must be
equal to the task of concealing his own
convictions on the subject, and at the
same time vigorously defend and main
tain the peculiar party views of all his
readers, no two Of whom think just
alike
An abundant supply Of communities
tons is another great promoter of edi-
torial happiness, especially when they
are long, badly written, and accompan'
led by the demand that they appear

scribable when he reads the protest Of
dozen subscribers against the longer
continuance of a certain discussion,
and, at the same time, holds in his
hand fresh batch of contributions to
that identical controversy. If his per-
ception and talent are not equal to the
task of seeing and satisfying the wants
and wishes of his readers, half of whom
are sufficiently enterprisins to think
that they could edit the paper much
better themselves, he will find himself
the recipient of some very interesting
correspondence respecting his editorial
conduct. But the editors hour Of SUI
preme bliss is reached when the spring

Joy forever; and by the time he has

correspondent Oh Tue bditlIliolt
S.m writing from Frederick says:
Another important matter affecting
interests in this county on which legis-
lat:on will be asked will be a change in
the present law regulating the Freder-
lex jail 1t is claimed that the cost Of
running this institution is entirely too
great. For the past ten years the
amount cleared by each sheriff has
averaged, it is said, fifteen thousand
dollars for a term of two years. 1t is
proposed to place the Jail in the hands
of board of trustees and to have the
sheriff to attend only to court duties.-
The trustees are to be authorized to
make all contracts for provisions, fuel,
clothing and whatever else may be nee
essary for the maintenance and safety
Of prisoners.
At present the sheriff is allowed
twenty-five cents per day for each pris-
oner, while the actual amount expend-
ed, it is stated, is but ten cents. by
the new law tramps committed to the
jail are to be made to work for their
support. just now, as has been the
case for number of winters past, the
jail is crowded with these people"
That is excellent news and is only
less interesting because it stops short
Of proposing remedy to cover other
evils, kindred to and intimately con-
nected with those of the office of Sher-
if We refer to the constables and
magistrates, who have been equally
guilty of charging upon the county the
payment of costs, which, while they are
allowable under the law, are none
the less vicious prostitution of the
privileges accorded by the law and the
gains, thus secured becomes, morally,
as vicious as outright robbery,
If the Sheritla'ty sugar plum is to be
desjccated, as it were, by all means ask
the Legislature to shorten the pole that
in the hands Of so few magistrates and
constables knocks such a prodigious lot
OF pelslmmops.
Ex-Judge VIM. '. Bonic, giving his
views in reference to Constitutional
Convention in letter to the Baltimore
SIN, sounds the keynote Of sound re-
form when in reference to county Off
GERS he says that the fee system should
be abolished and all officers receive Il
stated salary.
If there is any honest intention TO
relieve the county Of unjust burden, it
will not do for the Democracy to shut
its eyes to the acts of the magistrates,
while it makes the office of sheriff one
of respectable emolument, nor will it
do for Republicans to cry out against
the Magistrates and yet use their best
cndeavors to preserve the present in
come of the Sheriff s Office IN a word,
the people of this county, who have
given intelligent thought to this sub
ject, want it righted and are impatient
at any restraint put upon them by con-
siderations of party policy or aught
else than regard for existing law
that conservatism which prevents rush
to an ill-considered extreme.
We cannot think that the Legislature
will be permitted to consider but one
of three such closel y allied evils.
