WASHINGTON, APRIL 19, 1872. '
Perhaps the most notable event-of the
week here has been the Morse memorial
services in the Hall of the House of Repre-
' sentatives.
The chief men of the nation assembled to
pay homage and honor to thedead electri-
cian, whose practicable application of the
subtle element has conferred one of the
greatest of blessings upon mankind. 'lhe
oratious were rarely impressive and eloquent.
To one who had, like ourselves, been an in-
tensely interested personal observer of Prof.
Morsc’s first struggles before the American
congress for a beggarly appropriation of
$30,000 to construct his trial wire from this
capitol to Baltimore, and who was an im-
patient listener to the incredulous ridicule
and even low jokes of the Congressional
bufi‘oons of that day, the services of Tuesday
evening were of no ordinary moment. 0n
the speaker’s table, in front of the vast au-
dience of notable personages, was the com-
pleted instrument the dead philosopher had
given as a crowning diadem to our modern
civilization. While yet the eloquent words
of eulogy were falling from practiced lips,
the click, click of that subtle fluid, which no
eye but Omnisciencc can see, but plainly
heard by all, was announced by Speaker
Blaine, as the operator holding converse mth
the operator in the ofica at London. The un-
, nouncement seemed to move all hearts and
hands as by a genuine electrical impulse
and the applause was loud and long. Aga‘h
in course of the evening’s exercises the
Speaker announces that our operator was
now receiving] a deepatchfrom the Woo Ray of
Egypt. A message sent fkom the land of the
Phal'iohs and the retreat of the infant
Saviour of mankind, around to the Capitol
of the new world, in less time than it takes
your correspondent to pen it;well might
all eyes he reveréntly raised, and all hearts
gratefully respond to the sentiments of the
first message ever sent trembling over a
telegraphic wire, and which was gracefully
lettered around a superb portrait of the
patriarchal philosopher above the door—
“ What hath God wrought ?" Time and
space annihilated. Continents and seas op—
posing no barrier to the instant transmission
of human thought. Even the slimy beds of
old ocean, holding in its dark and cavern-
ous embraces, and rocking to and fro our
delicate cable, as securely as the infant in its
cradle. Verily: what hath God wrought?
' And is not that a beautiful conceit of ,the
Indian Of the Great Plains who looks upon
the polcsfand mysterious wiresfiwith awe and
reverence, and calls them “the tongue of the
Great Spirit.”
- The civil service humbug had a rough
and tumble day of it in the House. Our
MrsKellogo‘ took a hand,in the scrimmage
and took the sensible position that inasmuch
as the popular mind was demanding some-
thing of the sort, it was but fair that it
should have a thordugh test. Were there no
Presidents to elect for the next ten years.
our conviction is that this sham of dema-
gogues would be booted out of all serious
congressional consideration.
The Senate has spread over a good deal
of legislative ground, but no matter‘of en-
grossing interest has been brought forward
to increase or diminish the “mutual admira-
tion” prevailing in that body.
' EMANCIPATION.
Ethiopia stretched forth her hands, and
legs, in an innumerablemultitude, which no
man, or woman could count, on the anni-
versary celebration of freedom to the slave.
All the desultory crowds from the adjoin-
ing counties in Maryland and Virginia
poured in on foot, on muleback, and ox
wagons and carts, from long before day-
light tO “high noon,” while every incoming
train from Baltimore and Richmond,and all
the river boats came laden with the motley
and picturesque freightage. Flags were up
all over the city. The air was resonant with
fife, drum and brass bands. Our military
and many of the fire companies turned out
and altogether it was a most notable gala-
' day. The President came out and reviewed
the novel procession, which, despite. its
imany colored and tattered garbs and lack
ofmilitary order in theqnarch, was never-
theless thoroughly infused with a grand
idea, and that idea was LIBERTY.

CalifOrnia is fast becoming able to take
care of herself, and soon will be ready to do
her full share in furnishing supplies for the
country at large. A 'few years ago we sent
enormous quantities ofbutter to that market.
Last week over 20,000 lbs. of butter, in one
shipment, arrived in New York, via. the
Pacific railroad, from California. It ‘was
done up in a neat,,compact form, enveloped
in-snow white linen, and packed in brine in
iron-bound tierces. The butter had been on
theroad 20 days, and had the rich yellow
appearanceand delicate flavor of our J mic
dairy. This is the first consignment of but-
for ever received in New York from the
Pacific, States, and Will have a decidedly
beneficial result on the market. ' .

The Senator-ship.
The' newspapers Of the State ,have been
busily discussing the question of a successor
to Senator Ferry. Why should he' not be
re-elccted ? No intelligent man disputes thg
great advantage to the State of being l'cprev
sented by an experienced,rather than a new
member. None questions the perfect integ-
rity, the fidelity to all the interests of his
constituents, the broad statesmanship, the
eminent services and superior abilities of
the present Senator. It is not a little re-
markable that, in view of his experience in
public life, not one newspaper, not one man,
unless it be now and then a disappointed
Office-seeker, uttérs or insinuates one word
or thing derogatory to the purity of his
character or the value of his services.
Why should an exception be made in the
present case from the usage heretofoic
always observed, of returning a faithful
member for a second term ? Is it urged that
another man will more truly or ably repre-
sent the interests or the political faith of his
constituents or of his party ? This we do
not understand to be asserted.
From reading somewhat carefully the
articles in the difi'erent newspapers favoring'
a change, it seems somewhat difficult to
ascertain the true argument which is relied
upon. It is said, and is true, that Gen.
Ferry’s health,owing to his four years’ ex-
posure and service in the army, and in his
political campaign speaking, daily, for
months together, for many years, while he
was also attending to the laborious duties of
his profession,became some time since im-
paired, and that he is still somewhat afllict—
ed with lameness. It is equally true that he
is so far recovered as to be able to attend to
all his Senatorial duties as regularly and
faithfully as other Senators attend to theirs.
we are aware that certain parties afi‘ect to
doubt this statement, and to insinuate that
his recovery is an electioneering dodge.
Without stopping to inquire how far any'
such shallow pretense is consistent with his
known character as a pure-minded, honest
and christian gentlemen, it is sufficient to
refer to his late speeches in the Senate, and
in the recent campaign in this State. - Does
any man believe that if another anxious
candidate was not in the field, this or any
other objection which has been or can be
urged against Senator Ferry’s re-election
would receivca moment’s consideration?
And if the plain truth were spoken, would
it not appear that the whole argument for a
change, when sifted, comes "to this, that
another gentleman, whose abilities we by
no means question, has wanted the Office so
long and so anxiously, that he seems to him-
self and his friends to have acquired som
sort of a right to it 'r -

The Methodist conference at Bridgeport,
Tuesday, adopted a resolution condemning
the Sunday mail'trains on the ground that
they lead to Sunday travel and the conse-

do well to examine before purchasing any
other. ‘
In several eastern cities it new burner for
street gas lamps is being experimented with.
It has a bell-shaped reservoir in which is a
regulator. This can be set _ so that the
burner will consume any amount of gas de-
sired, whatever be the pressure. If success-
ful they will prove of great advantage to
large corporations. ,
The attention of those needing a superior
fertilizer is called to the“Ammoniated Super-
phosphate of Lime,” manufactured by the
Bridgeport Acid Co,” which was used by
many of the best farmers and gardeners in
this county last season with great success
and recommended by them in the highest
terms. It can be purchased of Wm. C.
Street, agent of the company, at factory
prices.
Howes’ London Circus arrived in town
last Wednesday, and made a fine street pa-
rade about noon. The crowds in attendance
at the performances, afternoon and evening
reminded us of old times when liverybody
turned out to see the elephant and monkeys.
The low rates of admission proved a good i
card, and the managers probably realized =
more than they would have done at “war
prices,” besides being able to more easily
satisfy their audiences. The fun of viewing
the scramble for tickets outside was only
equalled by the laughable one wheel velo-
cipede exhibited in the ring.

, . Another Town Meeting.
The Selectmen have called another Town
meeting for next Saturday afternoon.—
Among t objects specified, is to act upon
a petition o rescind the vote passed at the
last meeting appropriating $2,500 for the con-
struction of a bridge over Mill creek, Down
Town. The vote was fairly passed, last
week, the friends of the project being pres-
ent in large numbers; nevertheless an ap-
parently strong Opposition has since devel.
oped, and the prospect is that the coming
meeting will be largely attended and the
question discussed in a lively manner. Some
who do not oppose the measure, believe the
appropriation to be insufficient to build a’
satisfactory bridge. The meeting will -also
be called upon to' approp’e money for
the repair of specified roads -

DAN BRYANT.—FOI‘ some reason the min-
strcl companies have lately thinned out
wonderfully, leaving the field entirely to a
few large troupes, and a company must now
be really good or it cannot hope to clear ex-
penses. Dan Bryant, famous in minstrelsy,
has brought his city troupe to the country
for an ail'ingfand will appear at the Opera
i’Housc next Saturday evening, and give our

fered considerably from fast driving, which
tne bridge tender has been unable to stop.
The Selectmen have determined to stop the
practice, and give notice that they will here-
after enforce the State law. The bridge is
to be repaired, and a string piece laid in the
centre so as to make .. carriage drive on each
side instead of as before. '
The newly appointed Methodist ministers
for this place have arrived and commenced
their labors. Rev. Mr. Thomas occupied
the pulpit of the First church last Sunday,
and moves his family into the parsonage
this week. Rev. Mr. Pegg preached in the.
Second church, and will move into the par-
souage soon. Rev. Mr. Hallock preached in
the East Avenue church.

Trial Jnsuce Wanted.
Quite a general wish has been expressed,
that Mr. Pinkney should consent to locate
himself near the bridge, with a view of act-
ing as trial justice. His candor, probity and
general intelligence would admirably fit him
for that not not altogetheig‘pleasant but yet
necessary duty. .

W Our old BOrough collector, J ohn Rob-

and fortune, in the market business. He
has opened a very nice store on the dollar

ments in the way of lower prices and cash

New Dry Good- Store.
Messrs. Earl & Smith, a firm of young and
energetic merchants from New York, have
taken the store, west wing of the Gazette
Building, hitherto occupied by Scofield and
Barnum, and having thoroughly renovated
the same, have filled itwith an entire new
and fresh stock of dry goods, which the
ladies will find it to their advantage to ex-
amine. Mr. Smith of the firm is a former
Fairfield County boy and has many personal
friends hereabouts who thoroughlyendorse
him as a first class man in every particular.
The new firm has made a good “opening”
and we greatly mistake,if our people do not
find them to be. a most valuable acquisition
to the business circles ofold Norwalk. Give
them a. call. '

Mr. Allan Betts has shown us a copy of
the “Republican Journal,” a newspaper
printed in Danbury-by Douglassdv Nichols,
under date of January 6, 1800. It has for a
motto “An ignorant people can never enjoy
Freedom ; an immoral people are unworthy
of the Blessing.” This number is dresscd
in deep urning in honor of WASHINGTON
who die wo Weeks previous. It contains
an account of the funeral solemnities at
Mount Vernon, closing as follows :
The sun was now setting. Alas! the sun
ofglory was set forever. No, the name of
WASHINGTON—the American President
and General—will triumph over death—the;
unclonded brightness of his glory will illu‘-‘
minate future ages. ~ ..
Then follows the following account of ex-
ercises held in Danbury :—
Upon the melancholy news of- the death
of GEN. WASHINGTON. the inhabitants of this
town, many of whom had experienced an
uncommon share of distress in the late war,
voluntarily assembled to pay their tribute of
respect to his memory, and to impress upon
the minds of their youth the virtues and
examples of the FATHER or our: Couxrnr.
The day being serene and pleasant a
larger: number of people assembled, than
has rarely, or ever been known, upon the
most interesting occasion. The stores and
shops were shut through the da ; all . busi-
ness suspended; the bell tolle from sun-
rise until thc exercises began. A rocession
was composed of Capt. Comstock sCavalry,
Capt. Brunson’s Artillery, Captains White,
Peck, and M’Lean’s Companies of Infantry.
with drums muffled and commanded by
Maj. Barnuln. Next the Youth and Citizens
of every description, Band of Music, Mem-
bers of Union Lodge, Selectmen, Civil-
Authority of this and the neighboring towns,
Committee of Arrangements, Clergy and
Orator of the day.
The Profession being formed, consisting
of many hundred people, moved from the
Court-house to .the Meeting House; where
after prayer, a' suitable and well adapted
oration was delivered by Mr. Robbins on
this truly affecting occasion. -
The meeting house was crowded with a
numerous and attentive audience, the plain-
tive music, the badges omeurning worn by
all, and the house of prayer hung in black,

evening succeding, was witness of the im-
pressions made on the minds of our citizens,
no noise or conviviality was heard in our
streets or houses—thoughtfulness and mel-
ancholy closed the day—all seemed to re-
solve and say who is there of us, that will
not strive to imitate the endearing examples
of our departed Hero—in life, Charity and
Benevolence towards all men—and in
Death, Readiness and Resignation. Weep

We have never witnessed a scene so truly
affecting as_tlle transactions of Thursday
last in this town, as a tribute to the memo
of our departed friend, Washington. , A 1.
rank‘ and degrees, from the hoary headed
sire to the lisping lad, seemed to share in the
general sentiment, and to express theirdeep
regret, in all the “majesty of woe.” All ap
proved of and retired satisfied with.the 1’?
formance of the Orator, and the judicious
arrangements of the Committee which added
greatly to thehharmony and solemnity of the
scene. ,
' It also contains reports of battlesbetween
Napoleon and the allied armies.
Among the advertisements is one of the

tons burthen, a prime sailer, of easy draught,
and good accommodations for her size which
made one trip each week,wind and weather

’ Railroad Euros.
The following memorial ,says an .exchange,
will be presented to the next General As-
sembly. Copies have already been served
upon the railroad companies :—
T9 the Senate and House of Representatives
of the late of Connecticut, in General
Assemb y eon-vealed ,: .
Your memorialists respectfully represent
that the profits of several railroad Compa-
nies of this state are so large that they are
able to pay dividends ranging from ten to
sixteen per cent. on their capital in addition ,
to all taxes thereon; and are able also to
add yearly to their surplus and undivided
earnings; and that this surplus, in one in-
stance at least, exceeds fifty per cent. of the
capital actually paid in.
That in order to make these large profits
these railroad companies charge, for trans-
portation of passengers rates of fare rang-
ing from three and a third to eight and ten
cents per mile; and that some of the com-
panies make an unjust and oppressive dis-
crimination against the people of the state
by collecting from them higher rates, both
for fares and freights, than they collect from _
the citizens of other states. '
Wherefore your memorialisls respectfully
pray for the enactment of a law to restrain
railroad companies from making unreasonao
his: 1.1110 extortionate exactions, either for
fares or freights,’and also to revent them
from continuing their unjust: ,_ .. ",ipat‘ion
against the people ,0! the state, ~ . _ , _

The New Capitol.
The Capitol Commissioners have ‘finally
ecided to accept one of the Upjohn de-
ignstor the State House to be erected in
Hartford. The style is designated the
"modern secular gothic,” and the cantrovor-
sy about “tower or dome” is settled in
favOr of the former. As it is a matter in
which all the people of the State are inter-
ested, we copy below some extracts from
the architects own description as reported
in the Courant :3-
The central and commanding feature of
the front of the building is that which cop-
tains the hall of representatives. It rises in
amass above the adjoining parts of the
building, and is flanked bv towers which
give great power to the front. Adjoming
the towers on either side are those .parts
Of the building devoted to committea and
other Officers of state. These are less prom-
inent in their external character, but are
appropriately and ractically designed.
At the ends of the bui ding as a prominent
feature are placed the senate chamber and
supreme court; these also rise above their
surroundings and are marked features of
the exterior. On the opposite side to the
house of representatives front is the library
front which has a quiet and dignified cfi‘ect.
In a building of th s character it is not only
necessary but desirable that it should have
some one portion invested with monumen-
. tal character, and a central tower for a
clock has been introduced which has the
effect of crownin the whole edifice b its
commandin position and design, em rac-
in the who e design in a pyramid.
The main entrance isthrough an arcade
which is located under, the representatives
hall : You first enter a vestibule, the whole
width ofthé hall, having a corresponding
number of doorways to the external open-
ings. ' The interns openings will be furn-
ished with cash doors, and the external
with iron doom. In winter, however, storm
doors will be hung in these. openings. 0n
the opposite side of the budding are two
other spacious entrances with external
porches and vestibules. On either side of
the grand hall are the grand stone. stair
cases, and in the two balls Dom the hbrar
front entrances are the iron stairways, eac
and‘all leading first to the mezzanine story
in which are several fire proof oflces, com-
mittee rooms; . keepers’ apartments, etc.
Another flight of each or the stairways ear-
ries you to the second floor, which contains
the senate Chamber, supreme court, hall of
representatives; statelibrary, with all their
ante rOOms. .
The state library is a large and commodi-
ous room, having two stories of Windows,
and arranged with two stories of alcoves
for books, which are connected by spiral
staircases ofiron. This room is made fire-
proof. . .
It has been designed that in each room
there shall be afire-place, and that chI'y
room shall have special and ample means
of ventilation by large rarified shafts, to be
operated in connection with low-pressure
steam beating apparatus in the basement,
and the whole building should be warmed
with indirect radiation from heat passing
through'coils in the basement.
‘ The superstructure will be constructed of
marble, or marble and granite, for the exter-
nal face, backed up with ood hard burnt
bricks. The external wal s will be hollow,
a space Offonr inches being left between
the internal brick flirting and the outer
wall. The whole will be well bonded to-
gether and into partition walls and anchor-
ed. All the partition walls will be built of
brick. ,
The whole of the face of the exterior .snd
the detail trimmings and ornamentsttons
will be executed in the best and most work-
manlike manner, and will be fine drove
work; the carvin will be done in the finest
style of art, mode 3 being first made. . The
front steps and pediments for lamps will be
or marble or granite, as may be determined.
The 'central tower will be constructed _ of
marble, or granite and marble, backed .up
with brick, tied and anchored. The tiling
on all the bulls and landings will be of
marble or encaustic. .

Gouh’s Lecture. _
We are glad to be able to say in justice
to old Nor-walk, that Mr, Gough’s lecture
last Wednesday evening was not only a.
success but that it “paid” well, notwith-
standing the fact that a “big show" exhibio
ted under the enchanting canvas the same
evening, at half the price ofadlnission. The
Hall was crowded with our best citizens
together with delegations from adjoining
towns, and many extra seats were introduc-
ed. The managers exerted thselves to
provide for all, and had their reward in
seeing every thing pass ofi' smoothly and
to the general satisfaction. Since the as:
sociation commenced giving lectures their
audiences have'never once been disappoint.
ed by the failure of the speaker to appear,
which is somewhat surprising when we
consider the distance many have had to
travel to reach Norwalk, the frequency of
annoying detentions and serious accidents
’on the raierads in the winter season, the
liability of lectured engaged months previ-
ous to the lecturtho' siCkness,‘ the prone-
ness of “somebody'”_-to‘ blunder, die. As
usual, Mr. Cough was promptly on hand,
looking much better-than when last here,
and delivered one «of his peculiar and
“illogical” but efi'ective speeches, which de-
lighted all, but which it would be useless
torus to attempt to report.
The'Borough ofilcers, we understand, pro-
pose giving immediate attention to some of
the rough places in our public streets.

Sale of the Lockwood Collectlon.
Thursday evening was unpleasant, but in
spite of the weather a large number, of lal
dies and gentlemen, including many of the
wealthiest citizens of New York, attended
the opening sale of LcGrand Lockwood’s
collection of pictures, statuary, die. Sixty-
two pictures were sold, bringing $43,190. of
the next evening’s sale the Tribune says;
Clinton Hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity lust evening,'the assemblage in-
cluding some of the wealthiest men in the
city,and a large number of buyers from other
pars of the country. The bidding was not
at first so spirited as on the previous even-
ing, but toward the last it grew more interest-
ing. Bradford’s “ Crushed‘in the Icebergs”
started the first heavy bidding, and was sold
to a Mr. Campbell of .England for $8,000.
Bierstadt‘s Domes of the Yo-semite” went
at $5,100, amid murmurs of surprise. The
feature of the evening was the competition
excited by the sale of the clock. Geo. W.
Childs of Philadelphia started it at $1,000,
and an unknown buyer instantly bid $2,000.
A. T. Stewart ofi'ercd $2,400, but after num-
erous bids, and amid considerable excite-
ment it ,was finally sold [to Mr. Childs for
$6,i.00. The paintings sold last evening
brought $29,825, and the statuary $12,015.
The total amount received for the entire
collection was $fi.930. The following list,
gives the prices of some of the more impor-
tant works and the names of the purchasers :
Paintings—“Scene ill the Rocky Moun-
tains,” Bierstadt, $720, to Mr. Bond :. “Swiss
Landscape,” Herzog, $580, to Mr. Benedict;
“The Christenin ,” Salentin, $1,050, to Mr.
Steiner; “The et Lamb,” Schroder, $1,-
050, to Mr. Robers; “The Monastery,”
Jacobsen, $800, to Mr. Lincoln; “Grand-
mother’s Birthday,” Siegert,_$1,130, to Mr.
Derby for A. T. Stewart ;- “The Coming
Storm," Achenbach, $2,450, to Mr. Frec-
man; “In the Swing,” Brown, $570, to Mr;
White; “The Forbidden Book,” Kraus, $2,-
800,10 Mr. Chapin; “Crushed in the Ice-
bergs," Bradford, $8,000, to Mr. Campbell;
“The Annunciation,” VanSchcndel, $1,500,
to Mr. Bond ; “The Domes of theYo-semite,”
Bierstadt, $5,100, to A. S. Hatch. Statuary,
«ta—“Pocahontas,” Mozier, $680, to Mr.
Lewis; “Wept‘ of the Wish-ton-Wish,” Moz-
ier, $585, to Mr. Soutter. “ Excelsior,”
Hazeltine, $1,060, to Mr. Lewis; “Isaac,”
Rogers, $1,050, to Mr. HaZelton ; The Vases
a pair), $1,860, to Mr. Mchnry; The Clock
,000, to Geo. W. Chllds. .
, The Evening Mail says :—
The most'notablc sale of the season closi
ed last evening 'at Clinton Hall, by the dis-
posal of the remainder of the collection of
the late Le Grand Lockwood. Wifh a few
exceptions, including that for the" large
throughout were remarkably high. The
place was crowded to excess. Indeed for
the first time at an art safe in this city, so
great was the throng, that it was difficult to
preserve order sufficiently well to go on
with the sale. But the patience and gobd
humor of Mr. William Lcavitt seemed inex~
haustiblc, and the end came in time.
The Bierstadt picture, which cost Mr.
Lockwood $25,000, brought only $5,100, but
it ought to be remembered that the canvas
was so large that there werc probably not
three persons at the sale .who could find
space to hang it. In the second place the
picture has been much and badly handled,
and is in consequence much damaged.
Justice to the artist, who might otherwise
seem to be undervalued in one of his great-
est works, suggests this explanation of the
fact that this great picture brought a low
price as compared with those obtained for
his other works, also disposed of at this sale.
His “Domes of the Yosemite” was purch-
used. by Mr. Hatch, of Fisk and Hatch. Mr.
Demas Barnes bought the Van Schendel, at
$1,500. Lord Waller Campbell secured
Bradfords “crushed in the Icebergs” for
$8,000. Mr. G. W. Childs, of Philadelphia,
got the beautiful clock for $6,000, alter a
spirited bidding against the agent of Mr. A.
'1‘. Stewart. The uses sold for $930 each,
the “Isaac” of Randolph Rogers (bronze
$3636) for $1,050, and the orcllestrian for

THE AMERICAN BUTTON-HOLE,
a OVERSEAMIHE, alto
COMPLETE SEWING MACHINE.
The first and only Button-Hole and Sewing Ma-
chine combined that hasmade its advent in this or
any other country. ‘ The following reasons are given
why this is the
BEST FAMILY MACHINE TO PURCHASE:
1. Because it will do everything that any machine
can do, sewing from t e finest to the coarsest mate-
rial, hemming, felling, cording, braiding, binding.
gathering and sewing on, at: the same time, ruining,
quilting, better than any other machine. 2. Because
the tensions are more easily adjusted than any other
machine. 3. Because the shuttle is eutirel difi‘ercnt
from any other and very little trouble to t read. 4.
Because it can work a beautiful button-hole makin
as fine a pearl as by the hand. 5. Because it wil
embroider over the edge, making aneat and beautiful
border on any garment. 6. Because it will work a
beautiful eyelet hole. 1. Because it can do overhand
seaming. by which sheets, pillow cases, and thg like
are sewed over and over. 8. Because you can quickly
raise or lower the feed to adapt it to thlck or thin
cloth. 9. Because you have a short. deep bobbin by
which thread is constantly drawn from the center;
the tension is consequently even, and does not break
the thread. 10. Beease the presser-foot turns back;
that the cloth can be easily removed afterbeing sew-
ed. 11. Because the best mechanics pronounce it.
the besrfinished and made on‘the best principle of
any machine manufactured It has no springs to
break; nothing to get out of order. 12. Becauseit
is two machines in one—a Button-hole Working and
Sewing Machine combined.
