A MECHANICAL TRIUMPH.
, Home Gossip about Machinery.
The rapid growth and development of our
Country in the last three-quarters of a century,
and the wonderful progress of our people in
the mechanic arts, have furnished an unprece
dented example of productive industry, and of
the creation and establishment of all the essen
tial elements of a jtreat and tncrciminir material
prosperity. The record of such progression may
properly be cxpectod to show remarkable Illus
trations of national characteristics, of public
economy, and of individual genius aud enter
prise. To trace the history of American manu
facture aud inventions would be a task of more
than ordinary interest, but our limited space
and our more limited knowledge forbH an
attempt.
We live in an iige of mac hinery. The scarcity
of native journeymen mechanics who arc con
tent to remain such, the uncertain supply of the
demand through the channel of tmmlrtion,
and, above all, the natural genius and inventive
talent of our people, have necessitated the per
formance of much of the labor In our large
manufactories by rapidly running machinery.
The last thirty years have been especially pro
lific in labor-savin? machines for the swift and
perfect performance of all kinds of manufac
turing and farming work, and even the simple
duties of housekeeping, such as washinn, baby-
tcnding, sewing, and an Infinite variety of
culinary operations. In the short space of ten
years, between 1840 ana 1860, the number oi
distinct inventions patented In the United States
was 5041, aud among these may bo mentioned
two of the most important mechanical discove
ries of the century the muenetic tclccraph and
the sewing machine.
No invention of a similar labor-saving char
acter ever resulted in the same practical bene
fits to the people, or has come into such general
use as that wonderfully simple piece of mecha
nismthe sewing machine. What could we do
without it? Where would we now find hands
enough to accomplish the labor which these
busy little workers are doing? These are ques
tions which determine the usefulness of an in
vention, and by thsm we may guage the im
portance of sewing machlcs. The history of the
discovery is full of interest, being another in
stance of the almost invariable rule that those
universal geniuses who conceive brilliant ideas
and mate grana discoveries ana inven
tions, seldom derive the benefit of them.
As early as 1836 an ingenious and prolific
nventor. named William riunt, ot New
York, invented the first mucliino that was of
any practical value for performing the ordinary
work of family sewing. Being of a rather indo
lent disposition, and disinclined to undertake
the labor of introducing so novel an invention
into general use, he neglected to patent hia dis
covery, and sold the right to manufacture such
machines to a Mr. Arrowsmith, who, however,
neglected to test the practical value of bis pur
chase, or to secure it by a patent. This was
not the first sewing machine iavented, for many
years before machines had been used in Eng
land and France to stitch the maker's name on
cloths; but the Improvements and discoveries
of Mr. Hunt first made it of any practical value
for tbe accomplishment of ordinary shop and
household needlework.
Six years elapsed before auy lurther action
was taken towards the introduction of sewing
machines, and then, on the 22th of February,
1842, the first American patent was granted to
Johu J. Greenough, of Washington. This ma
chine wa6 a curiosity, making what is called the
through-and-th rough stitch, the needle being
pointed at both ends, with an eye In the middle,
and drawn back and forth through the cloth by
an arrange meat of pincers. Only the model of
this machine was made, however, aud it never
came into general use.
The text recorded attempt at an application
of the ide a was made and patented by Benjamin
W. Bean, of New York. His machine required
that the cloth should be laid in plaits or folds
through which a long needle was driven, form',
ing a sort of running or basting stitch. This
machine shared the fate of Mr. Greeuough's
patent, and soon passed into disuse or oblivion
In the same year (1843) a sewing machine was
patented by George K. Corlies, of Greenwich
Hew York, but no one seems ta kuow much
about it an evidence that its practical vain
was small. These abortive attempts bad tha
eflect, however, of calling the attention of in
ventor to the subject of sewing machines, and
on the 10th of September, 1816, Elias Howe, Jr.
of Cambridge, Massachusetts, patented the first
sewing machine at all adapted to the genera)
use into which it was destined to come. The
main features, of this machine are similar to
those of nearly all the more recent improve
ments that have been made upon it, and as the
general principles are familiar to nearly all of
our readers, we will not pause to describe them.
Although to tbe inventor and to other think
ing mechanics the practical value ot this inven
tion was apparent, people were shy of placing
confidence in o startling an innovation, and no
capitalist could be found who w as willing to
risk his money In an enterprise as hazardous dn
the manufacture of sewing machines appeared
to be. Discouraged at home, Mr. Howe nought
the needed assistance in England; but, regard
ing the scheme as chimerical, and treating the
project with even more skepticism thau had
been expressed by his own countrymen, the
English capitalists allowed the patentee
to bring bis machine back to America, to
accomplish which lie was obliged to work
ids passage on a sailing vessel. Once more
in sis own country, Mr. Howe made another
effort to obtain the money necessary to the
iniinul'ucturiug of bis machine, and his
peristeut aud patient efforts at last met
with the recognition and success which
Ley deserved. Although the machine patented
by Mr. Howe wmd now be considered worth
less if compared with the more recent improve
ments of Messrs. Grover & Baker, yet he stands
at the door of the ?ewlng-inachlue business, as
it were, and levies a tax of one dollur on each
finished machine in which the principles he in
vented are used. A fortune closely approaching
two million dollars has' thus been accumulated
by Mr. Howe a very fair return, considering
the fact that tbe Howe machine has been left
ar behind by those whose subsequent improve
ments have effected a revolution in the manjifac
ure of clothing, shirts, caps, boots, shoes,Jem
broidery, and house-furnishing eoods. The
rruaus of I860 shows an aprgreeute of 11G.330
machines made In uine States during 'that year,
which U a small number compared to what a
THE DAILY EVENING TEI.EGIIAI'U-TUIRLK SIHtW
wiutcs oi me present time would show; the
vaiue ot these machines being $5,605,345, au
tne amount saved to manufacturers of stitched
goods is estimated at some sixteen million dol
lars annually.
Mnce the dale or Mr. Howe's Invention, some
three hundred Improvement have been made
and patented, the most perfect of which is the
Grover & Baker machine, which makes a stitch
peculiar to itself, and bearing the name of tho
proprietors. The utility ot a sewing machine
depends upon it adaptability to the greatest
variety of work, and this article would bo
incomplete if, after tracing the rise and progress
of the idea, we should fall to point out from
among the thousand varieties the one that
comes nesrest to perfection, and combining the
greatest number of useful qualities. For
certain kinds of works
machines more peculiarly
others, but for all the
quirempnts of a family
there may be
adapted than
numberless re
we unheitat
ibgly pronounce the
and swiftly running
smoothly, silently
Grover il Baker
machine the best. The competition which the
infinite variety of machines hss created in the
market, gives one but a slim chance of judging
ol tne merits ora particular patent by its adver
tiscment. Each claims for itself an Immeasur
able superiority over nil others, and the bewil
dered buyer is lost In a maze of allurements and
attractions some true, but more false repre
sentations. It is to award to our favorite Giover
&, Baker machine the encomiums which it so
well deserves, that we have protracted this
hastily written article; and as a full and accu
rate statement of Its reMive and comparative
merits would necessitate the devotion of an
additional column, we will close with a brief
summary of what, from experience, we know to
be its principal characteristic excellences.
juv iircm Huraniage is mat tne thread is
drawn direct from tbe spools, aud requires no
jircvioun winning uu suu'ues; ana tne sim
plicity of all its parts and the easy adjustment
of needle, thread, and work, make it more
readily comprehensible to the learner than any
we have yet seen. Another important fuel is
that they perform, without an alteration of the
adjustment, a much greater variety ot work
than is possible on others; fastening both cnd
two threads, U is true, and a considerable hue
and cry has been made over the waste ot cotton.
but our experience loads us to believe that this
objection is more of an advertising dodec than
the discovery or a real fault by its competitor
of the Beam and renuirine no tvitip. We mio-iit
thus enumerate quality after quality in our own
way, but our limited knowledge of both roa
chinery and sewing would prevent our making
ourselves very intelligible; and we think we do
the inventors aud makers full justice, and at the
same time relate our experience in terms which
there is no mistaking, when we say that the
Grover & Baker machine may be chosen from
among the now nearly tour hundred improve
ments on Mr. Howe's putrut, as the best, sim
plest, and most reliable sewing machine in the
market.
The trade in thee necessities, which have
now become so indispensable, is assuming gi
eantic proportions, which the lortunate inventor
of the principle ncer dreamed of in Iris most
sanguine and hopefully prophetic moments.
The value of the machines made annually in
America is not far from twenty railliou dollar?,
and the bush-ess is yet in its infancy. Grover
ft Baker alone tend many thousands to foreign
mnrkets, and tbis popularity abroad is an
evidence of their merit and superiority.
American sewiutt machines are ued all over
the world, and, like American pianos,
have furni-hed the principles which have
been adopted by a great majority of toreigu
manufacturers. To ua belongs the credit of
hist making the idea a practical success, and
to us should come the profit. The sewing
machine has been needed ever since Eve made
her fig-leal aprons, but it remained for the Yan
kees to devise the means by which to relieve
tbe patiently toiling women from the wearing
effects of endlofoly tedious needle-work.
Thousands now depend on the sewing machine
for their support, the gentle exercise of propel
ling the treadles, and the merry clicking of Us
busily working steel fingers, keeping up the
health and spirits of the seamstress. They are
a blessing, and as such should they be re
garded by the multitude of those to whom the
sewing machine has come as a beneficent fuirv,
bringing joy and comfort with it. We have pub
lished the advertisement of the Grover A, Baker
Manufacturing Company ever since Thb Even
ing Teleokith bud a local habitation and a
name; The indorsements of many prominent
citizens who, from time to time, have lorwarded
commendatory letters for publication, is suffi
cient corroboration of the statements we have
made; and as the notice still graces our adver
tising columns, need we only refer our readers
to it.
The inventive genius- of the age has flooded
us with labor-savins machines, and unless
tomethins occurs to put a check on the endless
recurrence of discovery aud improvement, we
shall soon live and die by machinery. The
duties of life may, beiore long, be performed for
us by clockwork; and deprived of llie''ereut
mental and physical counterbalance, lubar, we
will gradually drift into an luert Ho'ce far
tmitte; work will become play, and
'Life will be ravished of its zest,
Aud shorn of Its auibillou,

CITY INTELLIGENCE.
For Additional Local liem v Third Fag .)
Tiie Methodist Episcopal Booif Room,
Hiinday (School, and Iract Depository of the
Philadelphia ConlerenceTi act Soclctv, formerly
located in Sixth street, have been removed to
their new Book Room, No. 101h Arcn street. Tne
results of their labors, as seen in the report of
the Conference Committee, shows a gratifying
result lor the last Conference year. Since that
time they have purchnscd the build in they now
occupy, and constituted It the headquarters ol
the Church in this city and throughout the Con
ference. Their business is largely increase I,
and the cause never was more prosperous, and
the results more than meet the most saiigunif
expectation of its Iricnds. The last Conference
gave it their full endorsement, aud pledged their
support.
The sixth resolution states that, as the Phila
delphia Conference Tract Society is auxiliary to
the Tract Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and as its Depository is matiai'cd bv
tbe Society for the sole benefit ot the Church,
the Conference regarded it as strictly a de
nominational aud connectional establishment.
We think it the duty ot the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in tbe bounds of this Conference, to
make liberal donations to this worthy onjert,
and give it their largest patronaze, and thus
establish a first-class bouse in our community.
A Neat Robbery. Mr. Vanderbilt, re
sidingin Woodbury.New Jersey, camc.to the city
last Wednesday wuh bis horse and wairon. lie
drove to Fourth and Walnut street, aud making
Lis horse secure, he stepped into a real estate
office, where he stayed lor a tew minutes, cou
veising about some property. When he came
outot theoflice lie looked, and, lo and behold !
his hori-e and wagon, which he VHlued at $300,
were both eoue. He looked up and down for
the niis&inir property, but in vain. Having
urgent need of a team he. stepped into Mr.
Champion's carriuire depot, ut Eleventh and
Race streets, to purchase a wacon.
As the propiietor took him around to see the
various vehicles exposed tor sale, Mr. Vandcr
bilt saw bis own property. He immediately
informed Mr. Champion of the fact, and his
wugon was restored to him. Prompt measures
were then taken, and the man who took tn
wogon there to be sold was arrested soon after.
He pave the name of Ccorso Daniels, and is
only eighteen years old. Soon afterwards the
hoive also was recovered. Daniels was taken
before Alderman Godbou, and, after n hearing
was held in $lono bail to answer.
An Ugly Customer. William NirhnU
was arrested yesterday afternoon lor commit
ting a violent assault ond battery upon a mau
named James Ryan, near tho new bridge, above
Girard avenue. It appears that Nichols got into
a violent quarrel with Ryan, and not being able
to silence him with his tonnue, be tried the
virtue of his fist, and knocked him down.
Not being sntistied wiih that, hepnked up a
large stone.and was enrnetlv eugaeed in tryina
to flatten Ryan's head, when the lattcr's yells
attracted the attention of the police, who ran
up and arrested Nichols just in time to prevent
more serious consequences, as the stone proved
to be much harder thau Rvan's head, mid guv
him a very unpleasant sensation. Nichols hail
a hearbur beiore Alderman Massev, w ho held
him in $600 bail to answer a charge ofusMiult
and battery.

A Swindling Operation. Geonre Green
was niresteo yesterday afternoon, at Twenty-
thud and Brown streets, on a cburge of misde
meanor, it appears that Green took a loud of
bay to tbe Union Pasheuger Rail way Htution,
and sold it to the company, receiving at the
time a ticket for pay, which would be cashed
bv the Treasurer of the company. At the same
time the Superintendent told him to bring on
the load. 11c went out and altered the ticket
so as to call for pay for two loads instead ol one.
and presenting u, got it ca-hed. The swindle
was, however, detected soon atter, and Green
was arrested as n Dove stated, lie had a hearlne
before Alderman Hutchinson, at which it
appears he said that he intended to buns the

A iyT RAM f: vftmr-tntf Iaiiu S urfrr IS it t a
ituisni.f-A.ODiTioKAi. Fact s. We have to re
cord a very sfraii Te suicide trut took place yes
terday morning, lieUccii the iiours of 4 and 6
o clock. The deceased, John Smith, has been
cnipioved as a joiiniennaii baker a' the estab
lishment of Johu I. Koto, No. (ill fcoulh Third
street, since June. Wi.
Mr. Roth's statement of the occurrence is "
follow:
Mr. Snillh has been employed In our place lor
Uire or four yearn past. He is a single man. of
steady, sober hbit, and not at all alveu to o.iy
k'nd of dissipation.
Nothing uuiisiihI was ever noticed in his beha
vior until aliout six months atro, when he began
to act rather strangely. He would sometunas
stop whilst at his work, and roll his eyes up
and down in n ctiriom manner, and theu burs!
out into a loud lunch. Still, be would never
.-ay to any of his fellows what was tho matter
wuh him.
In fact, he was most uncommonly uncommuni
cative, having scarcely a word to sat to any one
ex rep t upon matters connected with his busi
ness. He had a habit also of talking to himself
in a low, muttering man-ier, but so luuistiuctly
that nothing could be determined.
t Yesterday he got up about a quaitr before i
o clock in the afternoon. About ten minutes
beiore 4. he and Mr. hoth went down into tbe
cellar where they carry on their business, and
Mr. Roth stayed with the deceased until 4
"clock, giving him directions about the baklua.
when ho returned, after going tip-stairs tor a
tew minutes, be missed Mr. Smith.
t 'Ws bcu about ten minutes after 4 o'clock.
He heuid gioanacomiug from the front cellar,
and going m, ho found Smith lying ou a hesp ol
coal. He was Ijinudown. with his feet up high
on the coal heap and his head brlow, and rest
ina bm lace on his iirms. Mr. Roth picked him
up, supposing bim to be sick, and when he,
with the assistance of others, had carried
Smith up stairs they found that his throat was
cut. He could not speak.
Atter remaining in the house until about ten
minutes beiore ii o'clock, te was taken away by
a couple of his brothf rs-in-law. When takeu
n way he was just able to breathe, and must have
died a lew minutes after he lelt the house. The
wound was made hy a ra.ur, and almost severed
the windpipe and jugular vein. The Coroner
was summoned to hold an inquest.
Colored Woman on the War-Path.
Last cvemnsr quite a little excitement was
occasioned by (hp actions of an excited
female of the colored persuasion. The
woman in question, named Annie Chapman,
had conceived a violent antipathy towards a
man, and thinking that the world could not
contain them hoth, she buckled on her armor
and went forth to conquer; but her enemy was
wary, aud kept scarce.
Annie, however, animated by her spirit of
aniniosity, expiessed fively her desire to anni
hilate, her enemy, and consequently attracted
the attention of the euardiaus ot the "peace, who
uircsted her. When taken into cuttody she at
tempted to throw awuya black-jack she had
concealed ou her person, she had also a sharply
Ground razor, which she evidently inteudel to
put to other uses than havinc. She had a hear
ing before A Idcrm unfit term ary. who committed
