\Ve presume there is hardly a lady to
be found in our broad land who. if she
does not already possess a sewing ma-
chine. expects some day to become the
owner of one.
But after the mind is fully made up to
purchase one of these indispensable arti-
cles. the quection arises as to what kind
of a machine to buy.
It should be so simpl
the moat inexperieu can successfully
Operate it. The other points mainly to
be be considered. and which an the most
desirable. are durability, rapidity, copu-
city for work. ease of operation, regu-
larity of motion. uniformity of tension,
and silence while in operation.
The “Light-Running New Home" fills
the above requirements. and is said to
combine the good points of all sewing
machines. with the addition of many
new improvements and laborsaving des
vices.
The price is no higher than that of
ogberh machines, and eyery lady who is
to a ypoasescor o oneina rest
rssuredgbe has indeed a treasure. y

Contract Convict Labor fl nus-chm";
The agitation against thus system of
employing the labor of convicts by con-
tract. which was cinnmencad seven
year: ago by the hotter: and other mo-
chunics, who were injured by this sys-
tem. has been uniformly successful all
along the line. In Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York. the contract
a stem has been ubollllied; and if the
on makers of this state had 36m fit to
join in the movement. there is no doubt
whatever. that Connecticut would have
followed the other states. As it is, we
have a law on the statute books, which,

After carefully ing over the whole

all its bearings. the Prison Committee of
the Massachusetts legislature, of which
Senator Denny of Worcester. was chair-
nian. unanimously agreed to reports bill
abolishing the existing contract system.
in the state prison nt Concord. and em-
ploying the prisoners on state account.
at the slime time providing for the cam
celling of the Waring contract. This
bill. eminently just and carefully drawn.
passed the lower house without encount-
ering much opposition. about two week-
,ago. But on entering the senate. it at
once met a serious obstacle. The treas-
ury committee. to whom it had been re~
ferrcd for report. bud been assured by
the \Varing oompun , that the cost of
their machinery in t a state prison was
about $50,000. and fears I ere entertained
that the state would be put to an enorm-
our! expense in oustin the contracting
firm. In vain did Pro . Toohey and Mr.
l-Illendorf pregent to the committee in
the senate figures based upon exact cal-
culations of experts, ahowmg that one-
third of that sum would buy the trim
chines in question. when new. and that
one-fifth would be u liberal estimate of
their recent value. The committee or
port that ”the bill ought not to pass."
and it become evident at once. that the
workingmen would be doomed again to
defeat and disappointment. It was
deemed prudent, therefore. to lay the
hill on the table for the recent and to
substitute for it a rm vo lying over
from the amnion of last your. terminat-
ing the Waring contract by November
17. 188$. In the short debate which en-
sued. Senator Parker of Methuen. and
Senator Denny of \Vorcester justified to
the fullest extent the confidence repooed
in them by the workingmen and es i-
iilly by the batters. who had suffc so
severely. In an able and exhaustive
speech. Senator Parker gave the mucus

the wool batters of the state, and Sen:-
tor Denny ex in caustic term. the
trickery whic had made such a com
tract possible. The bill pumd by a
unanimous vote and went next. day to
the House for concurrence. The". the
friends of the bill abolishing contract
labor. were willing to save what they
