Machine Work and Handwork.

It is to be remembered that, notwith-
ing all we hear of the vast superiority
Of machine over handwork, this ma
chinery must itself possess as great, if
not greater, accuracy and refinement
than the product manufactured by it.
No machine can in this respect be su-
perior to its maker. 1t can only produce
sufficiently accurate and good work at
a lower cost than if made by him. The
first sewing machine of kind, built by
skilled machinists or toolmakers, is at
Least as good and as accurately made as
any subsequently manufactured by ma
chinery, and the same men can dupli-
cate it more exactly than can any ma
chinery, but machines built thus would
cost far more than people could afford to
pay for them, and that is all there is to
the talk of the substitution of the "cer-
tainty and accuracy Of machinery for the
uncertainty and inaccuracy of hand
work. "-Scribner's Magazine.

A Newsdeaier Pays For . Libei.


A libel case somewhat similar to that
which Messrs. w. H. Smith successfully
defended the other day has just come
before one Of the correctional courts in
Paris. M. de Sesmaisons, former min.
lister plenipotentiary of the French re.
public at Hayti, at present residing in
Paris, was annoyed at some comments
upon his conduct while in America that
appeared in the New York Tribune. The
article spoke vaguely of his having 40.
quired certain notoriety and of his be.
ing irresponsible for his actions in the
eye of the law.
AS the New York Tribune has no prop.
erty in France, M. de Sesmaisons Judged
It was useless to proceed against that
paper, but he decided to indict NJ. Bron.
tano, the proprietor of the Anglo.
American library in the Avenue de
fOpera, where copies Of the offending
number were sold. The plaintiff asked
for $4,000 francs damages.
Without admitting 30 extravagant q
claim, the court condemned the unfor.
tunate news agent, who quite possibly
cannot read English, to pay 5000 francs
to the plaintiff, as we'll as a fine of 100
francs, and to insert the terms Of the
judgment in any 10 newspapers M. dc
Sesmaisons may select.-London News.

An Aluminium Bicycle.

In window on Fulton street there Ia
hung up for the inspection of the passer.
by bicycle. 1t is suspended from set
of scales and the indicator registers the
weight of the wheel as 1871 pounds. This
is by far the lightest bicycle which has
been put on the market, and it marks
another step in the evolution OF
the old velocipede toward the per-
feet bicycle. 1t is made of alumni
ium, the metal which has SO late.
ly become quite general in its use.
The cost Of the wheel is considerably
more than that of the steel ones now in
use. but after the novelty has worn of
the price will probably be reduced to
that of the high grade wheels Of today.

Blue Monday.

A great many people have what they
call blue Monday-that is, they do not
fell so well then as on other days of the
week. The cause is found in overeatinR
on Sunday. A good dinner is provided
and eaten, and then, instead Of taking
the customary exercise, the man sits
about the house and reads or sleeps. OF
course he feels badly the next day. II
the same amount of exercise and kind OF
diet were taken on Sunday as all other
days, there would be no such thing as q

and perhaps southern California, houses
can be built which will be much better
suited to the climate. This is a change
which should come soon, and when it
does come it will add greatly, and without
increased expense, to the every day COM
fort and satisfaction Of living in these
regions. Just what
THE NEW ARCHITECTURE
should be one cannot say, but it is plain
it should not be exactly the same as tiet
of the New England and Middle States
where the snow falls are heavy, the summers
are mild and fires are necessity eight or
nine months of the year. The American
people have always shown wonderful i'll
gcnuity in adapting their lives to new
conditions, and the coming house in the
southwest is sure to be n good one. The
people who are taking possession of our
southwest are splendid class and are en-
titled to tho very best to be had.
As rode back to Granada that day l
thought of pleasant days in our own San
tn Fe when Gov. Lionel A. Sheldon was
in the executive office, and of other
agreeable days there, too, and that per-
haps there we're people in New Mexico,
both American and Spanish, who would
enjoy hearing about the old Santa Fe
and what it looked like, and that on
my return l would try to give them some
description of it. There is little spirit of
progress there; little house building CT
railroad building, and little business to
be transacted. 1t is a quiet place,
where life goes easy and the governing ia
left to the authorities at Madrid and
things keep going on very much as they
did before. The climate is not exactly
that of New Mexico; not so high and
mountainous and wind swept, but rather
it reminds me of southern California.
The old towns in southern Spain, not tho
northern or central part, and can hardly
be more than forty miles in direct line
from the Mediterranean. The plain on
which it lies is nearly $500 feet above the
sea and is protected by the Sierra Nevada
mountains on the south from the hot
winds of Africa. Hence the GOODNESS of
this district in the heats Of summer and
it's charm to the Moors in thoir day.
Southern Spain is hot in summer, not
warm, but roasting hot, and this elevated
plain is cool and delightful.

IMPROVING.
Hut August Shows Up Fearful Rec
ord Of Business Failures.

New YORK, Sep. Or. G. Dunn q Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: Improvement
has extended from the banks to the mills.
The condition of great industries has dis.
tinctly mended, though still seriously de-
pressed.
Incomplete returns of assets and la
bilities for the month of August show
that the liabilities in about 1880 failures
amounted to $55,446,03o, and the returns
for the remaining failures will probably
raise the amount above $G0,000,O0O. The
assets reported were $67,S2S,2l0. And
while 734 of the failures with $2S, S,7i2,029
liabilities were at the west, there were
24S with $21, 1,23G,997 liabilities in eastern
states and 500 with $5,467,004 in southern
states. This body of defaulted liabilities
for the single month of August exceeds
the aggregate for any entire quarter ex-
cept FIVE during the past sixteen years.
The monetary situation has changed
but little, for there has been an abundance
of money and only confidence in employ
ing it is lacking.
