Many complaints have been made of ioim orthe
awaids made at the Pans Kx position, but no one has
qufsllcurd the fairness ol the bestowal of the xikit
cold medal to the Wheeler A Wilton Hewing Ma
chines. To be sure, certain rival maBtilacturers. who,
for reasons beat knows to themselves, did notenter
Into competition, have endeavored to pooh-peou ti;
but the Wheeler A Wilson stands to-day with the
stamp of the world's approval upon It. But the pro
prietors do not mean to slop here. Their motto Is
aver "Oi.ward." Already they have applied to their
machines the Bruan Manufacturing Company's New
Cloib Plate, by menus of which three distinct and dif
ferent siliches are made. 'J hese are: 1. The Lock
Stitch, alike on both sldps of the fabric: Z The Elastic
Double-loop btitcb, which uses the tbr.ad directly
from two spools without rewinding on the bobbin;
and s. 'J he Three-thread Ornamental Stitch, with
which the most exquisite embroidery may he exe
cuted. This New Cloth Pla'e Is a great Improvement,
and Messrs. Peterson & Little are now attaching It to
every machine they Bell, without amy KXTaa
chahuk. It may be applied tn most or their old ma
chines, also, at a cost ol I0. They solicit a call at their
salesrooms, No. 704 Chesuut street, and feel confident
that au Inspection will cenaluly result In the purchase
Of a Wheeler fe Wilson.

without giving any Information of his Intended
departure, be auddenly left, not only swindling
the lady out of her rightful fees, but aggravated
tbe swindle by stealing sheets from the beds
and clothes from the wardrobe, not forgetting a
set of valuable furs. Yesterday this same dis
honest Qultm, wilb a constancy In blsdtsuouest
profession worthy of a higher calling, went into

We have neither abandoned the CIGAR IMPORT
INO BU8I N KisH nor commenced manufacturing
what are usually called 'Domestic Cigars."
W e continue to Import Havana Cigars, as we have
done for forty years.
'J heir bbjh cost, howevrr, has determined ns to
Introduce a buna fide substitute that can BE RF
TAILKD AT MODKKATK PttlCK. and to this end
we are manufacturing Fine Htandard Cigars, luoludlng
grades made entirely of VOflla Abalo leaf, such as Is
used only In leading Havana factories. This we pre
pare and work ON TH KIR 8VXTKM, guided by
long practical experience In this manufacture at
Havana,
Our new enterprise Is, therefore. In Its leading
objects, a mere transler of a first-class factory from
Havana to Philadelphia, and our manufacture will
be. In greater part, strictly Fine Havana Cigars, equal
to any Imported, yet much cheaper, and hy no means
to be confounded with even the uest customary grades
Of Domestic Cigars.
The smoking publlo may scon V.'dge of the trntb of
our assertions, as' our Cigars will shortly he offered
