THE USUAL RFsuLT.-It is not TO he G
MED that good sewing machine is on of
the most important appurtcnanccs OF the
modern household.
We thought we had good machine in
our household until one day the agent ofthc
Neeo Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit
But" we answered. tour 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, for
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it--but more to Obgc the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the remotcst
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 consequence fell in love
with it, They say that without the slight
est wish to dccry or disparage any other
machine, this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The ypshot 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 real comfort. and our folks"
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This lnrivallcd machine is manufactured
by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE

lis to say that all who will send for their new
illustrated catalogue and enclose their adver-
tisemcnt printed in another coumnD will

ALABAS slime
A Superior Substitute
for Kalsomine, etc.

Alabastine is the first and only preparation
made from calcined gypsum rock, for appG-
cation to walls with brush, and is fully COW
cred by patents and perfected by many years
OF experiments 1t is the only permanent
wall finish and admits of applying as many
coats as desired. one over another, to any
hard surface, without danger of scaling, or
noticeabiy adding to the thickness OF the
wall, which is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. 1t
Is the only material for the purpose not de-,
pendent upon glue for It's adhesiveness.
Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, ETC., while all kalsomines or whit.
cnmg preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in q very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires
but one-half the number OF pounds to cover
the same amount OF surface with two coats,
is ready for use by adding water and easily
applied by any one.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. ls.-A special cor
respondent of the Globe Democrat
makes the following statement regard
ing the condition of affairs at the City of
Mexico; 1t was rumored here Saturday
last that four prisoners in the Conspira-
cy case had been shot, but the
rumor is unfounded. After interview
ing prominent Government officials this
afternoon all deny said report. Your
representative is convinced ii is untrue.
Your correspondent saw General ebay

that he saw his father this
morning, who had been brought back to
his former place of Imprisonment, i'm the
barracks of this city. Gen. Chuv-
arias yesterday made Il pro-
test to n government payer, declaring
he had never had the slightest connec-
ton with the conspiracy, and knew
nothing of it before his arrest. He
says: "Why would | conspire

time of the overthrow of the

conspirators, is confined in the barracks

New Orleans Times-Democrat: Gen.
Beauregard is daily seen on Canal
street, in New Orleans. lie is of short
stature, the Boston Transcript says,
with white hair, mustache and imperial,
and Notwithstanding his advanced
years he is as nimble and cheerful as
many men his junior. The General
walks back and forth from his home,
winter and summer, and can be found
almost any time at the club, of which
he has long been member, dis
cussing the past with his friends and in
Inmates. Unless directly questioned he
never refers to the scenes or causes OF
the late war, and altogether he is Il court
ly gentleman of the old school, with the
pride Of both, but none of the petty
meannesses which not inirequently
crop out in the latter-day parvenues and
Goldfish aristocracy. Gen. Beauregard
has recently suffered a great bereave
ment in the death OF daughter, the
wife Of one OF the most prominent citi
zens of New Orleans, and since that sat
event he has aged rapidly.

whether the vultures discover their prey
by means of sight or smell. No two
writersasecm to agree. Many curious
instances of the marvellous power OF the
yulture for discovering carrion are quo
ted. These birds have been known TO
travel twenty miles after the carcass OF a

while after battle in the open desert
the air is full of them.
