American Enterprise.

No invention of the nineteenth century has worked a greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of a benefit on humanity than the sewing machine.

The first productions were crude and uncouth in the extreme, and it was reserved for American skill ''nd ingenuity to bring forth a machine of any practical value. In order to appreciate the great advancement which has taken place it is only necessary to compare one of the machines built during the infancy of the invention with one of the latest improved ‘ Light-Running New Home ” AH the really good points contained in other machines have been utilized in its construction.— Many new improvements and devices have also been added, the result of which is a machine as nearly perfect as it is possibie to make one.

For simplicity, durability, ease of management and capacity for work, the “Light-Running New Home” has no rival, and the happy possessor of one may re it assured that he or she has the very beat the world affords. See ad-, tertisement on another page of THIS PAPER.

“Do you know the last words that passed and J ehn Sherman ?” person, formerly a official, asked me to®v. and, on my replying in the negative, he continued: “It was in the treadH department at Washington. IwilT not say who was present besides Conkling and Sherman. Sherman will remember. Their conference had been long and heated. As Conkling rose to leave he assumed one of the most tragic figures, and, stalking toward the door with his hat ia his hand, turned half about to say in a tone that was suited by his action, “Sir, you are a perfidious wretch.” It was quite tragic, I assure you, and not a bit funny to the few persons who heard it. They have never let the scene become known.”—New York Special.
