THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 18G7. Complimentary. , The following, copied lroru the editorial Columns of The Jiovdoir, of New York, will be appreciated by our lady readers: A DESIRiBLB HOLIDAY GIFT. At this season of the year every one expect to give and receive presents. In a sentimental seuse, the value of these Is estimated by the motive which prompted the Riving. Thus, things in themselves trilling may be Invested with a value beyond that of gold. But this is an age of practicality as well as of sentiment, and presents possessing an intrinsic as well as an associated value are most eagerly sought alter by gift-givers, and most highly prized Dy the recipients. In this age of changing fashions nd rapid transitions, it Is dillicult to find arti cles which will retain the.- value. More dillicult still, one would think, to find thoHC which not only do not lose their value, but which may be made to yield a permanent and splendid interest. Yet In the Grovcr & Baker Sewing Machine we iave such an article. Any tirsl-clas Fewing machine is suitable for a present, and will be duly appreciated by any woman, be she wife, sister, daughter, mother, or bride-elect. But we recommend the fJrover & Baker, because it is the best. Our reasons for pronouueinir it so are many, and, to those acquainted with the relative merits of tewing machines, obvious. But even the uninitiated, even the nost superficial observer, will at once gee the value of such points as these: . The thread can be used directly from the spool, thus saving -the waste and trouble of rewinding. Two spools arc used instead of one, and great beauty and elasticity are thereby attained. It makes a stitch at once durable, beautiful, and unique a stitch which, while it has Its peculiar and unparalleled advantages in the way ol plain sawing, can be turned to account in all kinds of embroidery and ornamental DCfdl work Owing to the use of two threads, silk and floss can be used on one side and cotton on the other, and a great saving of these rich materials be thereby effected. The machine is extremely simple, and conse quently easily understood, and not liable to get out of order.' It depends for strength not on bulk not rn the quantity but on the fine quality of the material employed in its manufacture. This, while it produces an article of neat and elegant appearance, greatly facilitates the labor of the worker by resulting in extreme lightness. Even children and the most delicate and fragile ladies can work them with ease. Another advantage of this attention to quality Is that, while it is strong enough to do the heaviest manufacturing work, it is fine enoagb. for the most delic.ite fabrics the most gossamer tissues and it can finish and fasten in a style equal to that of the most experienced lingers. It can do all that any machine can in hem ming, felling, tucking, eathering, quilting, braiding, etc., and that, too, in a finer style, and with less expenditure of time and trouble. And besides this, it can do what no other mach ine can do, namely, KraDroiacr. ior mis quality alone it Is worth its price to any family that would dress fashionably. And yet It costs no more than a machine' without tlie capacity of embroidery. Add toalltheso the peculiarity that, while its stitching will not rip by stretch or strain, or even by cutting at intervals, it can yet be ripped with the greatest ease when ripping is desired. Owing to these and to other qualities, It has won for itself the position of fuvorite of the ladies the most popular machine of the day. Altogether, we know of nothing that would prove a more acceptable present to the majority ol American ladies. AMUSEMENTS. Walnut Stekbt Thkatiib.

OITY INTELLIGENCE. Pftkbsons' Nkw National Edition of thb Works or Cha-lbs DicKBNS. There is no liv ing writer who has attained so wide a popularity as Cbarles Dickens. He la cosmopolitan in bis readers, liis style is suited to deliRhttuo most fas tidious, to satisfy tbe cautious, to eratify the comic, ana yet at tne same time to pe morouituiy accept able to the most illiterate. In America he has readers by the hundreds of thousands, and were it not that the price ot aresular edition is beyond the means of many, he would have hundreds ot thou sands more. In order to 0)en the Held of romanee to those who have been heretofore debarred lrom Its enjoyment, Mubsi-s. Peterson have propared a new national edition, which, white it is neatly and clearly printed, well illustrated, and substantially bound, is really a miraole of cheapness. It is complete, including all that has been published by the treat novelist, and ia. at once a sulUble addition to a library and a popirlar everyday friend. We are at a loss ouiselves lo see how these books can be Issued lor the prioe they are. In these days of ex orbitant cont for ever thing, we would almost be lieve that the publishers are losing money. The cause, however, for this reduction is found in the vast iinoortation of B'lti-h editions of Diokens. These flooding our markets, compote with American publications, aud are allowed to underbid them. As the plates ot many of these works were secured by Peterson In the ante war davs, when things were reasonable, the house it enabled, by fa.cn do ing the ordinary prolit. to Issue this phenomenon. We cannot but believe that Its efforts will be appre ciated, and the hundreds of thousands of readers be by this means introduced to a writer inimitable lor originality, keen wit, and vivid portrayal of charac ter. In this edition, whioh Is the cheapest in the world, tbe wholo ot Dekens works is contained in seven large ootavo volumes, with a portrait ot ;harles Dickens, aud other illustrations, the whole making nearly six thousand very large double columued pages, in good, large, clear type, and handsomely primed on the finest of white paper, ...a i.n.,,,,i m I ha nrrnncre-t and most substantial manner, and told at the low price of twenty dollars set. aua even olieapor ro oiuua. ooo i"f u" went in another column.

Tho estimated loss by fires in tho same po'iod was $3,102,977; amount of insurance 1,976,856; the loss over insurance, 31217,132.

Tbff chango had become neces sary from the fact tbat the late location was entirely inadequate for properly conducting a business whioh has steadily Increased with each euoceodlng soason. Tho presont establishment is admirably adapted to the requirements of the business, being eligibly located, and comprising spacious wart-rooms taste fully fitted up, and well stocked with Skirts and Corsets of every desirablo style.

They are known and appreciated by ladies through out our land, who, having worn 4hem onoe, will wear no ottier. They are modelled in the most de sirable styles, set giaoelully and easily, and are by universal assent the most durable, and therefore tbe most economical, that are made.

The great requisites for success in America are pluck and enterprise; and Holmbold, the well-known druggist, has in his business career evinced both of these qualities. Tbe coasequenoe is tbat he has achieved a success. He has one of the finest establishments In Mew York city, while the teputation of the well-known Helmbold's Prepara tions is co-extensive with civilization. ThoBO preparations, it is almost needless to say, are not "quack medicines," nor "patent mrdioines:" they are simply legitimate, scientifically compounded preparations, wnion, lor tnoir appropriate com plaints, are without a rival. They have been bo lore the pumio lor many years, and are at the presont moment more in demand than ever. This shows conclusively their genuine merit. At Uolmbold's New Store, next the Metropolitan Hotel, in addition to these preparations ihe Extracts of Buchu and Sar.-aparilia are sold all varieties of Drugs and Chemicals. The establishment is perhaps the finest in the oity of ew York, aud the publio are respect fully invited to call and judgo lor thnmsolves. Depots, Mo. 104 8.

Uetorred to the Military Committee. beveral petitions for an Inoreasod tariff on wool wore presented, and ordered to llo on tho table. Also, several rcmonsiraucos against disfrsnchlsmont on account of sex. Ordorcd to lie on the table. Mr. Hendricks, tiom the Commit'eo on Naval Affairs, reported tho House bill of last session, lu iuvor of tlie selection of Loacrue island ai a depot lor iron-clads of tho navy. Ordorcd to bs printed. Mr. Williams introduced a bill to grant additional land in aid ol the construction of a railroad from Lake Superior to Pugot Sound, on the Facllio coast, by tbe orthorn route. Referred to tho Committee on the Faoitlo Uailroad. Mr. Wilson off rod a reBO'ution, whioh was aoe ted, instructing the Committee on the District ol Columbia to mnuire and report whether the cor poration of Washington has complied with the law of Congress requiring a portion of the school fuud to he set apart ior tno suuport oi ootorea sonoois. Mr. Wade (Ohio) callod up the bill to authorize tho lialtimore and Potomao Hailroai to construct a lateral branch of their railroad into and upon tho Lint net of Columbia. Mr. Johnson (Ma ) said the charter ot the Com pany, granted by the Statu of Maryland, uid not authorize tno road to come 'his way. Maryland ha J a great interest in tho Baltimore and Ouio road, au 1 it might be to her interest not to allow the now road to come here. He suggested that the bill lie over until it was ascertained what was the truth in regard to tho charter of the Baltimore and Potomao Kailroad. Mr. Wade (Ohio) said this question had for a long time been before Congress, and all that cou.d ho said on the eubfeot had been said. Thoso who wore in terested in the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad, of course, did not want this opposition line, He did not see why Congress sDould not pass this bill. There was but ore railroad now entering this oitv, audit was a monopoly without a rival. He (Mr. Wade) w as sure that the ci'izens of this District an i ot tlie country would lose nothing by having an ad ditional road into tlie Capital ot the nation It was simply a question whether the intorest of the public or tbo interests oi the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad were paramount. Mr. Johnson (Md.)resum'd the floor. Itwasnot ths Intention of tut Mary and Loirislatiiro. ho thought, to let tho new road come Into Vy asuington. lie had not seen the charter of tho road, and could not say exactly what its provisions were, tie honed that the bill would bo postponed until bis colloaguo, Mr. Creswell, who was absent now, was in the Kenate. Mr. Hendricks (lnd.) regarded tho Baltimore and Ohio road as of groat importance to the Wit, and could not vote lor a competing road, which was built merely as a matter of speculation. Mr. Yates (111.) said that the entire length of the row road was seventy-one miles, the branch was ten miles. All tbat thev asked was a chance to oome into Washington. He could not see any ob jection to it. Tho morning hour expired, and the regular order, which was tbe Bankrupt bill, was oalled tor. Mr. Wade (Ohio) moved to postpone the regular order lor tho purpose oi proooeuiug wuu tne itau road bill. : , The yeas end nays were lateen, ana tne aonate refused to postpone tho regular order.
