DRUMS.—The odltor of the Indian npolls People beats the drum in this fashion

The drums of our ears are excited. We can no longer lead a humdrum IHe,

We awake in the morning to the Honnd of the kcttle-drnm. We mark time going down town to •the sound of drums.

In the evening thoward rum—no the war drum—no, now wo have it, the ward drums of the political clubs keep up a continual clatter.

The bugs drum around the evening lamp*. I- The fjiiHil rlrains In tho distance.

Kvory avuilabo child has a small drum. It seems as though childrt wcro be ing imported to tho city just for the purpose of drumming.

If this is the commencement what will thoexeitoiiifnt bo l» October when tho weather is cool enough for exertion to be mndo to do some real lively drumming.

W« look forward with dread to the timo when tho drum excitement culminates. If tho wholo city is to be turned into a drum corps we want to have littlo drum too, to bo in the fashion.

We foar that we will boa drum corpse oro the ides of November, in which

case

we take it a mutter of course the lolilical parties will cross drumsticks over tho bloody chasm and drum up enough Tunds to bury us decently.

MILLINER AND N01 IONS. Last week we mentioned the return of T. H. Riddle from the east, after several weeks absence. Slnoe then there has been quite a stir about his popular establishment, where an Im mense and choice stock of Notions, Fancy Goods and Millinery is displayed to a wondering publio.

The steady and rapid inferttoe In Mr. Riddle's business nas made it imperalively necessary to enlarge his salesrooms, snd now be has one of the best store rooms in the city. A large addition at the rear is lighted with a fine skylight and an elegant stairway near tbeoenter of the lower salesroom affords easy access to the second floor, which has been throwu into one room, and where is spread out an immense stock of millinery and notions. Of millinery especially he is prepared to offer inducements to country merchants not surpassed in the cities. Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago bills will be duplicated. 1 Mt'*

JEWELRY, WATCIIES, ETC. The recent enlargemeut of T. II. Riddle's store rooms, affords better opportunity for the display of his elegant stock of jawelry, watches, clocks, silverware, etc., and of these goods he makes a magnificent showing. Of watches he has without doubt just now the largest stock in the citv, and especially in tho line of ladies' watches in gold and silver.

In Jewelry his cases make a superb display of new aesigus in sets, bracelets, pins and everything in this line. There are some new and decidsdly tasty designs, of which he has a large variety. In all of the above goods he is constantly improving the stock, and he is selling a surprising amount of really fine jewelry. &&

In the watchmaking department, work has so increased that another workman has become necessary, and now one man is kept on watches all the time, while another attends to repairs.

Readers of The Mail in this and surrounding towns and country will always find a cordial welcome at Riddle's and will find the visit to their advan tage if in wautof any of the goods in his establishment.

SEWING MACHINES. Tho Sewing Machine has become one of the necessities of life and it is poor economy to try to do without it. Every wife and mother in the land should bo provided with a good sewing machine to enable her to accomplish the family sewing with caso, facility and economy. We will not stop to argue a fact so generally recognized as this, but we will lay clown another proposition, tho truth of which is sufficiently ob vious. Having (locided to buy a sewing machine, tlie buyer's first care should be to "get the best." The.best is the cheapest, but thon in the present conflicting claims of so many machines it is not always easy todetermlne which is entitled to tho preference. Of the different candidates for public favor, the SINGER isoneofthe most conspicu-

f'1% VJt'i/ ,t :Uli* We say tho moat conbpicuous, because we have before us a statement showing that the Singer Manufacturing Company sold in 1871 Jlfly-tivo Utoumnd more machines than any other company. This statement is made up from thesworn returns of the companies, which returns are made under the licenses granted them by the owners of the sewing machine patents.

Again, tho Chicago Relief Committee, after the memorable fire, furnished sowing machines to persons needing them. These were to women who had already used machines of all kinds. The applicant in every case designated tho kind of machine desired, and the commltteo supplied 2.427 Singer Machines against 517 of all other kinds.

At the recent County Fair no premiums were offered on Swing Machines, but at tho County Fair last year it will be remembered that the premium was awarded to the Singer, and so It is this year at tho county fairs generally, whore the Singer is in competition.

The above facts are sufficient recommendation. They are sufficient at least to cause the purchasor to hesitate before buying any other machine nntil the merits of the Singer can be investigated, which can be done at the elegant and convenient room of the agency in this city, on Main street, near Third. J. A. Marshall is the agent lor this locality.

Kllas Howe, can I do all this sewing?" asked Mrs. Howe. "I'll Invent a machine!" said Howe. He did it. Call at W Main street and iee how well it does its work.
