THE USUAL RESULT.

1t is not to be denied that good
sewing machine is one If the most
important appurtenances of the mod
vrn household.
We thought we had good ma
chine until one day the agent of the
New H"me presented himself at our
door and proceeded to deliver an
Grafton upon its characteristic merits.
"But," we answered, sour machine
suits us well and we do not care for
another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his ma
chimes with us, "for the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable,
so we granted it-but to please
the agent more than anything else;
for we really did not want the ma.
chine, and had not the re:aotest idea
Of buying it.
The machine once in the house,
it WAS natural that The ladies should
| ,ok it over; they did so, aud as a
consequence fell in love with It,
They say that without the slightest
wish to decry or disparagc any other
machines, this, all things considered
is, in their opinion, the most desira'
Bile une to be had.

During the dull season general,

the storckcepers of interior towns
might protitably employ some of
their leisure time in discussing the
question of how best they can build
up their towns by Introducing new
Industries. Every new feature so
added to community, adds families

and u call for houses to live in.
These create demand for the pro-
duce Of the country round, and a
near market for TIE consumption of
farm products. TEis again adds val

Mr.. Max Muthel has patented in Ger
many an incandescent lamp which pos
sesses the advantage of requiring no vacu-
um in the globe, He has, it is reported,
very ingeniously overcome one danger
that experiments of this kind have hereto
fore presented, and that is the fusion of
the incandescent wire. The wire used by
him consists | mixture of bodies that
are conductors and non conductors of cleo
tricity. He takes magnesia, silicate of
magnesia, ETC., and porcelain clay, and
forms a thread of them, which he heats to
incandescence and saturates with a solu-
ton of patino-iridium salts, and after
ward raises several times to incande-
scence, in order to reduce the absorbed
salts to a metallic state. Instead of the
foregoing mixture, filaments of clay may
be taken and saturated with solution of
metallic salt, which is then reduced to a
metallic state through incandescence and
the use of oil of lavender or some other
organic substance, or through an electric
current With wires thus prepared,
fusion is absolutely overcome, the presence
of the non conducting substances prevent
ing the metallic parts from melting Mr.
Muthel supposes that the electric spark
jumps, so to speak, from one particle to
another, and in this way causes heating
of the other substances, which, brought to
incandescence, emit more intense light.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Her Little Peculiarities and Characters
tics Wittily Described.

heT 1IitLie anu
ties Wittily Described.
Stylish to the backbone. Independ-
ent as Independent can be, but very
pure. Is devoted to pleasure, dress,
spending money, shows her moral ma
ture nude-iust as it is, so as to deceive
nobody. Flrt all winter with this or
that one, and dismisses him in the
spring, when she instantly catches an
other. Goes out alone. Travels alone.
When the fancy strikes her she travels
with gentleman friend, or walks any
where with him; puts boundless conf
dence in him; conjugal intimacy seems
to exist between them. She let's him
tell what he feels-talk of love from
morning to night; but she never, gives
him permission to kiss so much as her
hand. He may say anything-he shall
do nothing, She is restless; she gives
heart and soul to amusement before she
marries. After marriage she is mother
annually; is alone all day, hears
all night nothing except discussions
about patent machinery, unexploslye
petroleum and chemical manure. She
then will let her daughters enjoy the
liberty she used without grave abuse.
As nothing serious happened to her,
why should Fanny, Mary, Jennie, be
less strong and adroit than their motherP
She originates French fashions. Partisan
women detest her. Provincial women
despise her. Men of all countries adore
her, but will not marry her. unless she
has an immense fortune. Her hair is
vermillion, paler than golden hair; her
black eyes are bold and frank; she has a
patent shape which It's forbidden to
counterfeit; spreads herself in carriage
rs if she were in ahammock-the natural
and thoughtless posture of her passion
for luxurious ease. When she walks she
moves briskly, and throws every glance
right and left; gives many of her
thoughts to herself, and few of them to
anybody else. She is wild plant put in
hot-house. -Figaro.

REMARKABLE WALKING CANE,
The Artistic Workmanship of u Half Breed
Indian SiIty-six Years Old.

Indian siIty-six Years Old.
Mr.. Isaac Estill, ESQ.,, of Winchester,
Tenn, was in the city, and had with
him quite a curiosity in the way of a
walking cane, as well as a curious spec
linen of rural ingenuity and workman
ship. The stick was a hickory sprout
taken from Lookout Mountain in 1880,
tifty-six years ago, by one Foster, a
half breed Indian from the hills of Geor-
gia. Foster was evidently gifted by
nature with talent for carving wood,
as is evidenced by the work referred to.
The staff is mounted with the head
and beak of an eagle, resting upon the
top of what is said to be remarkably
fine likeness of himself carved by his
own hands. Below these heads are
series of Masonic emblems, rattle
snake. rose leaf and twig, lion, wild
duck, turtle, trout, another snake,
sheaf of wheat, bundle of sticks, a
panther, an elephant, gartish, an owl,
rabbit, squirrel and a pipe. All of
these figures were carved in the hard
wood, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the work was executed more than
a half century ago, it is well preserved,
and will be kept by its owner and
handed down to his posterity as a relic
well worth the keeping. -NaShtiIIe
