CARBOLIC ACID. This peculiar substance which is ex tracted from coal tar, has been unfortu nate in its name, in the first place from its similarity to a very different thing. Carbonic aeid: and, in the second place irom tlie fact that it is not sour, and has none of the qualities of an aeid any way. As, however, it is coming into general use, we think the following facts in rela tion to its nature and effects, from an ar ticle by l’rol'. ,1. 15. Darby, in the Ameri can Grocer, will help to a better under standing of this valuable material:— arbolie acid is prepared by treating what is called the light oils (benzines) from the distillation of coal with dilute al kalies ami carefully distilling the products which are heavier than water, the alkali being previously neutralized by muriatic acid. It is seldom found pure, it having more or less of cresylic acid in it, and often other closely related bodies. Car bolic acid is a solid at ordinary tempera ture, melting at 11M3 deg. Farenheit and soluble in twenty parts of water; it is a powerful antlceptic and disinfectant, pre venting putrefaction and fermentation. I Its whole effect is due to its arresting i change. It is simply a preservative. As an anticeptic, it prevents change in the materials. As a disinfectant, it ac complishes the result with the same means —that is, kills the spores, if malaria con sists of such, or arrests chemical change if malaria is a putrescing material. Car bolic acid is a powerful poison. Everyone has known that creosote is poisonous, and carbolic acid is only a new name for an i old, well-known material, only less crude. Creosote will do all that is claimed for carbolic acid. It is an active poison, acting directly on the nervous system, and may cause death indeed, death has ensued from its applica tion to an aching tooth. In the Glasgow Koval Infirmary the records show that when dressings in amputations and com pound fractures contained no carbolic acid, one case in four and a quarter died, with carbolic acid in the dressings, one in three died; showing that the use of car bolic acid was positively injurious. It co adjulates the vital fluids of the body and of course stops vital action. Id the hands of skillful physcians, carbolic acid is sus ceptible of important uses; hut for family use i- no more appropriate than arseni.’ or corrosive sublimate. Its application, when not very much di Uitnl. produces ctteots very similar lo tnat of burns, blistering the skin anti produc ing a sore that can be cured by the treat ment that would cure a bum. it is offer ed the public in ail forms, as soaps, I washes, salves and also as a medicine for various diseases, empirics taking advan tage of its popularity to render it availa ble for their protit. That it is for many purposes very useful, is not to be denied but it is very evident that it should be used with caution and care. We have used these carbolic soaps upon our own hands and fare, and carbolic acid for disinfecting purposes, and recommend it. Our article is not designed to deter any one from its use as a disinfecting agent, but to give people who use it the knowledge of its properties they ought to possess. To our Farmers: The surest way to insure full crops is to feed the poultry well. If farmers build corn cribs it gives them no right to crib corn. Not a good investment in rolling stock for farmers—cattle on the railway. The lay which will please the farmers most—lien’s. Don’t ducks enter water for divers rea sons, and come out for sun-dry motives? Unmarried fanners should recollect that apples and kisses are very similar crops— they should never be tasted without pair ing. .V “fancy” breed of “Shanghais”—those who dress in tight pants and bob-tail coats. Plenty in the country now. Plums are plenty, and none should be allowed to spoil. Fill a porcelain kettle with plums, cover with water, let them come to a boil, but do not let them get smashed. Dip these out. In this same water let another quantity of plums come to a boil, skim out the p!\nns and take the juice anti add a pint of white sugar to each pint of juiec, and one can have very nice jelly. l’ut the plums taken out through a coarse selve and add a pint of brown sugar to a pint and a half of this pulp, and one can have the best of plum butter for winter and spring use. There are water melon rinds enough wasting to supply many families with most delicious sweet pickles or preserves j for the winter. The find should be cut off before serving the melon on the table, then pare and put In a brine over night, j Then pour boiling vinegar over it well spiced, and to every seven pounds of fruit add ilireo pounds ot brown sugar. One melon, medium size, will make three quarts of pickles. These are delicious pickles for supper during the winter, and more healthful and dtgestable than cu cumbers, and decidedly cheaper than peaches. The nicest plum jelly is made by filling a stone jar with plums, adding a very lit tle water, (half a tin cup full) then set this jar tightly covered, into a pot of boil ing water, let it simmer all day (irouing day) then drain off the juice, hut don’t J squeeze these plums. The juice is very nice and has a delicious flavor, but the plums are as worthless as is beef after making beef tea. Ladies, let none of the plums spoil for want of care. WAR MAPS OF EUROPE.

In Professor Hoppin’s book of travels, published under the title of “Old Eng land,” the author describes a visit to the house in Cheapside, London, formerly oc- j enpied by Louis Napoleon when he lived in the British Capital. Mr. Iloppin adds j that Napoleon once said during the height j of his power as Emperor of France that i he had a presentiment that he would end Ins days in Cheapside. The recent events of the war would seem to justify this strange foreboding, A private correspondent writes from Paris on Wednesday: “Trochu’s power daily appears more nominal than real. He said himself yesterday to Gambetta that he had none, confessing his willingness but inability to allow the reappearance of the i Cloche and Centre Cavche newspapers re eently suppressed. Persigny said yester day to American friends that the want of capacity and fidelity among the imperial ists has destroyed the empire. Modern re publicans begin to think it time to act, and they chafe at the slowness of the left. The Baltimore Bonaparte, just promoted to a lieutenant-colonelcy, has not joined his regiment, but is practically commandant at the Tuilleries. He says the Empress behaves with due pluck and dignity. The story that she wrote to the Emperor to put Louis under fire and not where spent balls fell, is not true: but it is true that she spoke impatiently of the Emperor for not exposing himself. The government still withholds arms from all who refuse to go to the frontier.” A correspondent of the Boston Journal says: “The components ot the Prussian soldier’s uniform are very simple, but full ol taste and convenience. He can make a drinking cup out of his helmet, and carve meat with its pike. He wears a bluish tunic, with red collar, cuffs and lappels, a stout pair of dark colored trowsers; car ries a thick, excellent blanket, a canteen, a cooking can and a w. 11 planned knap sack in undressed calfskin. His fatigue cap is flat, bordered with red. He has an undress uniform of coarse flax cloth, and a pair of white pants. The pockets and folds of his clothing are so managed that he can carry in them numberless little things for camp use. When he bivouacs, he plants his gun against his bayonet, puts his side arms hanging on them, and caps them with his helmet. I have seen 10, 000 of these helmets poised thus in a long plain, making one sheeny mass, with which the bright grass and the waving grain beyond mixed their colors, reckless ly as does Millais. Field discipline is per fect, too; a brigade, lying in an open lot under the het sun, is as gentlemanly as its individual members would be in the town. It is remarkably quiet, too: there is no swagger or bluster among the most brawny of the troops. A squadron of Hussars, with its beautiful horses, richly trapped, is a magnificent y visitors and tourists. Our broad, deep bay affords a tempting field to the yachtist. Within a gunshot of our wharves, roam the cod and haddock, which may be easily taken for a savory chowder on the rocks beneath the towering and pictur esque head-land of Owls-head. A half hours’ row in the early morning will often bring a party into the midst of a school of brilliant and active mackerel. Happy are they who strike such a school on a calm and quiet morning! With enough of coyness to make the capture a conquest, and with a beauty of form and splendor of scale, which are a mar vel when first jerked dripping from the sea— whilst the innumerable throng dart arouad the boat for the “chum” or bait in plain sight —the mackerel offers inducements to the taker which few others of the finny tribe can command. An hour's pleasant drive from Kockland, will bring the tourist to many scenes of nat ural grandeur and beauty. To Owls-head harbor, where, at the Ocean House, with its illimitable sea view, a clam-bake is always in order; to Owls-head promontory, a light house crowned head-land of perpendicular rock, at whose base, two hundred feet below, the restless waves make ceaseless roar; to the hills, often assuming the proportions of moun tains, which rise a crescent of grandeur in the back-ground of the city to the lakes, cool in the shelter of the hills—redolent with lilies, and abounding in pickerel; to the “Turnpike” —a name amusingly tame for such a place— where the poetic may feast till sated on the “lovely and the wild mingled in harmony,” or the scientist ponder with delight and awe on the wonders of the glacial epoch, or the terrific convulsions among the metamorplilc formations, in some geologic age. In fact, for a sail, a drive, a chowder, a dam-bake, a fishing excursion, an excursion for tiie pure breezes of the sea-side or mountain top, or for an excusien—Syntax-like—in search of the picturesque, liockland will soon take high rank. We now have gas light again, which prom ises to stay; Chickawaukie water—with no tice when shut off; daily papers from Augus ta, Bangor and Bath; a police force that knows its “biz,” and the hurdy-giftdy rarely tortureth. We are now suffering from the dismal squeak of an asthmatic bag-pipe, but are well contented to let it moan so long as we do not understand it to moan “shoo fly,” nor claim to belong to the “Horse Marines." What it dues mean doth not appear. It sings in original Scotch. The copperhead, a fossil of the saurian age 1 in politics, has yet wonderful vitality in Knox j County. A curious assemblage of this gem s met in convention here last Saturday. Some j specimens had the bearing of owl-like wis dom—nearly all were hoary and rubicund— all were from primary formations and submit ted tamely and meekly to the automatic pro cess of casting the votes prepared for them. Kach with the stoical glumness of the "poor InHinn” did what he was bidden. No speech. no applause, no principles. The speaking was all done in a whisper in the ante-room, j Silently and solemnly the convention ratified j by vote the work of the ante-room, and one j by one began to depart. Then the chairman attempted to give his pent-up feelings relief I in a speech, but soon, save his own voice,the hall was as deserted and “silent ns a hermit's cell." Then he too, nnd the faithful secre tary. took their hats and departed. The Republican convention will assemble here to-morrow. Mr. Morrill nnd Mr. Blaine are expected to be present and address the convention. The indications are that the party in this vicinity favor the election of Mr. Morrill for Senator. At the caucus held last i evening for choice of delegates, n resolve was introduced in favor of Chamberlain. It was promptly laid on the table w ithout dissent. Sttlis. GENERAL NEWS. The llank of England has reduced its rate of discount one-half. It is now four per cent. News has been received that the Portuguese expedition up the Zambezi, on the east coast of Africa, has been defeated. The consecration of Hr. Niles as Bishop of New Hampshire will take place on St. Mat thews Day (September 21st), in St. Paul's Church, Concord, the presiding bishop acting as consecrator. General Sherman has accepted the invita tion of the Society of California Pioneers to participate in their celebration of the admis sion of the State into the Union on the 9th of September. There is a novelty in the way of attendance at the Profile House. White Mountains. The table-girls are said to be mostly school-teach ers, who enlist for the service during the va cation, “for variety and to see a little life.” The United States steamers Shenandoah. Gucrriereand Brooklyn are all under orders for the Mediterranean squadron and are ex pected to leave for sea in a week or ten days. The census taker in Fulton county, Illinois reports finding a family consisting of seven persons, of whom the oldest was 109 years of age and the youngest 89. In another family of three the ages were respectively 95, 92 and 90, the latter being a domestic. At the date of the latest advices from China the French negotiations at Tien-tsin for satis faction for the recent outrages were suspend ed. The French demanded that three Man darins, implicated in the massacre, should be given up to be shot, but the Chinese are will ing to surrender only one of theqj. People will commit suicide with kerosene. The latest case came from Montpelier, Ver mont, where a little boy named Hurse was allowed to kindle the fire with this article. Of course the can exploded and he was killed. A statistical chart, illustrative of the com merce between the United States and Brazil, has been prepared by the chief of the tonnage division of the Treasury Department showing the movements of shipping and the value of exports and imports. From 1850 to 18G9 the value of imports from Brazil rose from $9, 800.000 in 18G5 to nearly §25,000,000 in 1869. For the year 1866 the value of imports was §17,000.000, for 1867 819,000,000, 1868 $23, 500.000 and 1869 nearly §25,000.000. Domestic Ncms. The I’resquo Isle Sunrise says that another arrival has taken place in the new Scandina vian settlement in that county, known as New Sweden. The stranger cannot talk English, and yet is a native American. He did not come from Sweden or any other land, in fact it is the popular belief that he came from Heaven above. On the morning of Friday, August 12th, the family of Mr. Nils Persson were gratified by the advent of a boy baby, the first child born in New Sweden. The' youngster has been named William Widgery Thomas Persson, after the founder of the colony. The baby is particularly hap py in the contemplation of the constitutional fact that he is eligible to the office of Presi dent of the United States. The minutes of the 44th annual meeting of the General Conference of the Congregation- j alist churches in Maine, with the sermon be- fore the Maine Missionary Society, by Rev. j J. K. Mason, of Thomaston, and the report of the Trustees of said society and its 63d an iversary, held with the First Congregational Church in Yarmouth June 21st, 22d and 23d, have been published. In preparing and com piling this work, the Recordihg Secretary and chairman of the Committee on Publica tion, Mr. F. F. Duren of Bangor, has been at no little pains to present a mass of infor mation and statistics which are of much in terest to the denomination and the public. Launched at the yard of W. A. Curtis, in Portland, on Saturday, a bark of 500 tons burthen, 137 feet long. 30 feet beam, and 17 feet deep. She is double-decked and her frame is entirely of oak.

ILocal auto State Nctos. “To your tents, O Israel!” is the watch-cry of our Methodist friends this week. Operations at the dam commenced five weeks ago last Saturday. The fall term of the schools commenced yesterday with a large attendance. The lengthening evenings are suggestive of the period of the year rich in its opportunities for mental improvement. Some of the mission Sunday schools in the outskirts of the city are having pleasant pic nic parties. Sixty-five car loads of freight went over the railroad yesterday bound west. Thirty three of these cars were loaded with cattle and sheep. “Counting your chickens before they are hatched,” is now politely rendered, “Taking tile census of the feathered brood previous to the period of incubation.” Mr. Holbrook of lJoston, gave an interesting address at the Free llaptist church, Sunday evening, on the subject of “Christ in crea tion.” A union church is being erected at King's Mills, Whitefield, to be dedicated about ti e first of January. It will he a neat and con venient edifice. The dry weather has been favorable for building operations. Many fine dwelling houses are approaching completion in this city. This afternoon the Capital Guards will show themselves in their new uniforms, and make a public parade and drill in presence of Governor Chamberlain. In the evening there w ill be a promenade concert and hall at Granite Hall. The vessel with a large installment of the iron railroad bridge, arrived at Gardiner Sat urday night. A special train was sent to Gardiner on Sunday to bring up the material. Forty tons yet remain behind at Philadelphia, which will be shipped at once. The work of erecting the bridge will now tie prosecuted with vigor. The annual campmeeting of the Kennebec Vally Campmeeting Association w ill com mence to-day on tiie grounds ol the associa tion in Kichmond, to continue through the week and over the next Sabbath. The rail road company has a station near the camp, and trains will stop each way during the meeting. The Sabbath school concert at the Union church in South Gardiner. Monday evening, was an interesting affair. The exercises con sisted in singing and declamations by the children, and interesting addresses by Mr. A. Baker ot' Gardiner, whose report shows the school in a flourishing condition, Mr. King, and A. W. Scott of Augusta. Miss Carrie S. Hodges, having resigned her position as one of the assistants of the high school, the vacancy has been supplied by the appointment of Miss Lizzie C. Vivian, a graduate in the last class of the school. Miss Hodges has faithfully served the dis- i trict for several years, and for the last three years and a half as assistant in the high school, giving we believe, general satisfaction. By reference to our advertising columns this morning it will be seen that Messrs. H. L. W. E. Whitman of Winthrop offer for sale their stock of hardware, groceries and grain together with the good will. Their only reason for selling is their engagement in manufacturing in the west. It is a rare chance and will be sought by the shrewd ones At the recent meeting of the Directors of the Maine Central Kailroad held in'this city, it was agreed to adopt the short route in ex tending the road from Danville Junction. The east survey was taken and the road therefore strikes the 1’. 1\ track at Cum berland instead of Falmouth. Owing to some misunderstanding about terms of con tract. &c., the time for considering proposals was extended till this (Tuesday) evening. Yesterday forenoon, as Mr. Freeman I’cva of llallowell, wus driving in a wagon down Water street, when near the Journul office his horse became frightened by a passing train, and 6hying, caused his wife to be thrown from the wagon into the street. She was soiuewht stunned, and was taken into I the office in a fainting condition. Dr. Martin was called but it was found that no bones were broken. Mrs. Feva’s left arm and shoulder were badly bruised, but no other injuries were sustained. Meeting of It) founrll. The regular meeting of the city council was held on Saturday afternoon. The following orders were passed Appropriating $500 in aid of the State F air. Appropriating 800 for the purpose of prop erly receiving and entertaining the newly or ganized military company in this city. That the City Marshal attend to furnishing water for the accommodation of those visiting the city during the State Fair, at Market square, on State street, and at other places as he shall deem necessary. That the Street Commissioner of the east ern district contract or otherwise to build a road from the south line of \V. E. Barrows' land to the Belfast road, as laid out, the price not to exceed 8- per rod. Petitioner for continuance of the road laid out from the south line of VV. E. Barrows’ 'and to the Belfast road, was granted leave to with draw. Committee on highways, on petition of War, ren Johnson, for extension of Capitol street reported leave to withdraw. Accepted. The Mayor was ordered to draw his warrant I for 8-5, to be paid to Miss Ann C. Burgess, for injuries sustained in January last, from defect in sidewalk, on north side of Cony street. George Cony was authorized to lay down lead pipe on the south side of Bridge street, from the corner of Hamlen Philbrook's store westerly about six rods, provided it be done under the supervision of the Street Commis sioner for the western district. Authority was granted to E. C. Allen Co. to occupy a space five feet square on tlie^ast side of Commercial street, for the purpose of maintaining an elevator, to accommodate their printing office in Bradbury’s block, to be dis cqptinued at the pleasure of the city council. The remonstrance of George Cony and oth ers against allowing obstructions on Commer cial street, by elevator of E. C. Alien Co., and by the Railroad corporation, was referred to committee on highways. Fine ebanee for an excursion. Reduced fare to the Alton Bay C’ampmeeting, N.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat, and con sisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the Interi- I or, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and I convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a con- ducior also, terminating in a single tube, and called 1 the Ureter. Tiie ureters are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, ami the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the abiiitv; others urinate without the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, we must bring into ac tion the muscles, which are engaged in their vari ous functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aware, that who ever slight may be the altack, it is sure to affect the bodily health ami mental powers, as our flesh and blood are supported from these sources. Gout, or RhEUMATiSM.—Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc cur in persons disposed to acid stomach ami chalky concretions. The Gravel.—The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or gans being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain it becomes fever ish, and sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone is formed, and graverensues. Dropsy is a collection of water in some parts of the body, ami bears different names, according to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca; when of the abdomen, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrotho rax. Treatment.—Helmbold’s highly concentrated compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the best remedies fur diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and gouty affections. Under this head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water, Scanty Secretion, or’sinall and frequent discharges of water; strangury, or stopping of water; Hema turia, or bloody urine; Gout ami Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but increase in color, or dark water. It was alw ays j highly recommended by the late Dr. Pbysick, in these affections. This medicine increases the power of digestion, and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise bv which the watery or calcareous impositions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, 1 women, and children. Directions for use and diet accompany. 1 Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. 25,187. H. T. IIelmbold, Druggist— Dkau Sib: I have been a sufferer lor upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the mont eminent physicians, experiencing hut little relief. /laving seen your preparations extensively ad- vertised, I consulted my family physical) in regard to using your Extract Buehu. i did this because I had used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buehu, cubehs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination; and with'his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time 1 was confined to iny room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was nble to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you ami more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is* effected, alter using the remedy for five months. I 1 have not used any now fur three months, and feel as well in ail respects as I ever did. Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and iuvigerator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.

I do not mean those who keep the org ins inflated by running to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do business with or for. How many men*, from badly cured diseases, from the effects of self-al^se and excesses, hi ve brought about that state of weakness in those organs that has reduced the general system so much as to in duce almost every other disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost] every other form of disease which humanity is heir to, aiid the real cause of tl)c trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have doctored for all but the right one.

Allow me to call your attention to my PREPAR ATION OF COMPOCND EXTRACT BCCIIU. The component parts are Bl'CHC, Long Leak. CCBEBS,,TEMPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a tine gin. Cubebs extracted by dispiacment with spirits ob tained from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used, anil a small proportion of spirit. It is more palatable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance; the action of a flame destroys this (its active principle), leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color ol ingredients. The Buchu in my prepar ation predominates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermenta tion upon inspection, it will be found not to be a Tincture, ns made In PharmacopoBa, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in cases where fever or inflammation exists. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredients and the mode of pre paration. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your appro bation.

NEW EASTERN DEPOT FOR THE WORLD RENOWNED SEWING MACHINES. Opposite flic Post Oilier, AUGUSTA, MAINE. These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and the great range of work they execute, have gained a reputation truly enviable. The famous successor the singer M vnitactik Ing IDMi'.v.N i lias ftimuluted many other compan ies to put forth all their energies and talents to produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or equal the Singer, but in every ease they have sig nally lailed, a* is plainly shown by the fact, that of all the travelling agents—“runners or drummers” —of other companies, none have the assurance to laim more than an equality with the singer, even upon any special class of work. There are many sewing machines, now offered to the public, that have their good points, and are of much assistance to the housewife and the industri ous seamstress. Parties purchasing a sew ing ma chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old fashioned way of sewing by band so great and pleasing, that they are naturally, but erroneously. led to believe that they have the*best, until the spell is broken by the introduction of tht Sinyer of 1870 into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, by the in creased rapidity and ease with which it does every kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them t«* a positive, although it limy be silent acknowledge ment of the painful truth that there are very many varieties of work that are easily executed upon the Singer, but that they must either be content t do without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri fice, their cun ed needle i. frail-powered. unrelia ble-tensioned, low-speeded or ravel-stitched ma chine for a Singer Sew Family Machine. Various expedients arc resorted to, that the pub lic eye may be turned from the Singer for .the pur pose* of introducing inferior machines—viz, I be Buttle Hodge,” “The over-learning." 4 The l)ouble-Loek-Knoi->titeh.”4Klastie Mitch," “Twist ed Loop," “Self-Adjusting Tensions." IlingFinish and Beautifully Ornamented,’’“Straight Needle. "Stitch-Alike-on-both-Sides,” “.Medals from Fairs," “Vertical Feed Bars," “Noiseless Kunning." “Silent Feed," and last and worst of all, the low-priced— “Family shuttle Machines.” Many’ of these points are desirable, (and the Singer excells all in each individual speciality^ but the greatest use made of these special points. i> by the retail agent who parades them before the inex perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest style, as to entirely divert attention from the really important bearings of the case. M Idle other inno cent local agents ignorantlv represent that the ma t chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie ty of work, equal to the Singer, and often do they thus unconsciously 'Windie customer* who cannot afford to squander their substance upon gilded follies and worthless rattle-traps. Parties in quest of a Sewing Machine should look about them and learn what machine is most exten sively used in families, tailor shops, shoe factories, and carriage factories. It is an acknowledged fact, i reeJi/ admitted by all sewing machine dealers, that more than two-thirds of all the clothing worn in this I country by both sexes, whtthcr custom made or ready I made, is actually manufactured upon The Singei; sewing Machine. These Machines are manufactured by one of the oldest, strongest, and most enterprising Compan j ies that lias ever been engaged in the business in the world. Throughout their immense manufac j tories. which are kept in constant opera*ion “day and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are employed. Newly improved machinery is cm ploved turning out each part finished to that me chanical exactness, that every one is a Perfect du plicate of the other in size, weight ami finish. All new inventions are carefully examined and tested, and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex pense, while the many impractical humbugs that are patented, are left t delivered at vour house, set to run ning and warranted.
