® jji.llrm. MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1864. Slavery in Kentucky. The industrial system 'of Kentucky 3s disorganized. Slavery, legally esta blished, is virtually abolished, and the slave-owners and slaves are beginning to feel all the evils of the system, with none of its advantages. The first hold a barren sceptre; they are responsible to the law for the good conduct and support of slaves Whom they are unable to control, and pos sess valuable plantations they are unalile to work. The slaves who are able to work will not stay in 'slavery, and, with little opposition, emigrate in large numbers to free States, where they will be paid for ■their labor. This leaves the helpless women and children, and aged negroes, to be sup ported by their owners; and in many cases, from- the inability to provide for them, Urey are turned away to take care of themselves—in other words, to beg, pilfer, or live by petty jobs. Such a con dition is the natural result of the refu sal of the influential slaveholders to part with a system which is no longer productive of wealth, and simply a general encumbrance. Its removal must precede the restoration of the prosperity of Ken tucky, and we are glad to find that the leading men and journals of the State un derstand this necessity. Our Kentucky ex changes are earnestly advocating a speedy reform, .and the Louisville Journal , now entering on a nobler course, has ably shown how the removal of-this great social evil may he at least partially effected. The question immediately before the peo ple is not the ultimate and complete abo lition -of slavery, which is inevitable in a few years; they are forced at once to decide what they shall do to prevent the exodus of their laboring classes, and how they shall prevent an immeSse number of non-producers from becoming vagrants, and embarrassing the whole State with beggary. The Slate Constitution Of Kentucky says: “ The General Assembly shall have no power to pass laws for the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owners, or without paying their owners previous’to such emancipation a full equivalent in money for the slaves bo emancipated, and providing for their removal from the State. ’ ’ Of course compensation is impossible. Kentucky, thanks to slavery, is not in a condition to purchase her own slaves and free them, and,..according to her Con stitution, slavery cannot be abolished by a Convention before five years. Nor will the' amendment to the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting slavery, certain to be passed by the nexfCongress if not by. this, be enforced in time to relieve Ken tucky from her present troubles. It follows that the responsibility rests with the slave holders. 'With their consent, the Legisla ture has the power to emancipate the slaves without removing them from the State, and if they prefer their prejudices to their interests they will be eager to give it. Their working slaves are emigrating con stantly ; the non-workers are a burden or a' pest; their plantations are idle; their in comes reduced, and their .only hope is the abolition of a system dead for profit but alive for trouble, and the substitution of of compensated labor. Kentucky, even if she cannot at once imitate the ac tion of Maryland, may profit by her ex ample. Street Cars and the Bights of Citizens. The pis- slavery rule which still disgraces the government of the city railroads cannot long he maintained in opposition to the judgment of the public. Wholesale pro scription of any class of citizens cannot be tamely endured, and the exclusion of co- lored people from the cars is a piece of. unmitigated injustice. This rule makes', no exceptions. Whatever may be the con dition of colored men or women, they are rigorously excluded, solely'because of their color. The intelligence, education,, and courtesy of many of our colored citizens obtain them the ordinary consideration common in respectable society, but are not respected in the - rules of the street cars. Age has no indulgence, lpyalty.no reward, sex no respect, in these rules; and, far worse than this, they are enforced in scorn of justice. While all colored men, wo men, and children are refused admittance to the cars, or expelled from the very plat forms at the pleasure of the conductors, the worst classes of whites may ride. It is a common thing in the cars to see the rules which forbid smoking violated with the full knowledge of the conductors ; to hear men swearing and using improper language in the presence of ladies; to he annoyed by the disgusting behavior of intoxicated persons ; to have women of the town take places by respectable ladies. These annoy ances are as common in the street cars as in the streets, and yet the mles which ex clude all colored persons are justified on the pretext that they protect the comfort of passengers. The rights of colored persons in. city cars recently received acknowledgment from .-Judge Pratt, of San Francisco, whose decision we print in another co lumn. His answer to • the argument that railroad companies have a right to manage their own affairs is excellent. That he ad mits, hut shows that they have no right to manage the affairs of the general public, which is exactly what they attempt to do by the exclusion of colored people. "Where will they find the right to make such distinctions between one citizen and another on the ground of color? They are constituted common carriers by the law, and violate it .daily in the enforcement of their, rules. Judge Pbatt well says that the only justi fication of the rules the railroad, companies have adopted would be legislation au thorizing the exclusion of colored people, and’ that, until such authority has been given, the color of a man’s skin is illegal reason for expelling him from a ear. If the,colored people of this city are in -ear nest, and wou'd maintain their self respect, they must not cease to urge their civil -rights. Not only justice but law is upon their side in this dispute, and their cause will be warmly sustained by allwho despise prejudice [and the petty, iiM&nßisteiit tyran ny of these anti-Bepublican rule's. ■ 'The First Veteran Army Corps. By,the beginning of January General Hancock is likely to have, an army corps unsurpassed in strength and value. The War Department ordered that the Ist Ve teran Army Corps should consist of twenty thousand men, and that none should be accepted except those who had served , honorably not less than two years; limited enlistments from December 1 to January 1, the term of service to one year, and offered a bounty of three hundred dollars to each volunteer, payable when he is mus tered in. The popularity of such a corps will be immense; veterans who .would be reluctant to enlist in new regiments will eagerly join the rally of their old comrades, and proudly serve under the gallant and dis tinguished Hancock. It will be the Old Guard of the Union army—every man an accomplished soldier, baptized in bat tle, knowing his duty and able to do it, and the whole force self-reliant, experi enced, and in earnest. General Hancock will call around him the best fighting ma terial -of the North, the veterans who, having already fought so . well for the Union, want to he in at the death of the Bebelhon. It is not surprising that the rate of enlistments in the Old Guard already promises to fill the ranks by the end of the month. About six hundred and fifty men daily will complete the organization. We are gjptified to learn that Mr. Bout, B. Cobbon, of this city, has been appointed an,- aid upon the staff of the Governor of New Hampshire, with the rank of colonel, and that'he has had conferred upon him, by the Governor of Ehode Island, the rank of lieutenant colonel. From the commence ment of the war, Mr. Cobbon has devoted himself zealously to the cause of the soldier. One of the most active in the organization pnd management of the Volunteer Refresh- ment Saloon, he has contributed not a little towards giving Philadelphia the reputation she enjoys for generous hospitality to regi ments in transit. His efficiency as an officer of the Supervisory Committee, of this city, for raising colored troops, is well known by the gentlemen who have been his co laborers in that cause. But the work to which Mr. Corson has chiefly put his hand, and to which he has given night and day, is the performance of his duty as military agent for the New England States, whose office it is to have the care of sick and wounded soldiers from that section Who may lie in our various hospitals. The services rendered by him can only be ap preciated by the soldiers themselves; the recognition of them by the above-named Governors is manifested in the rank con ferred. Sherman’s March. PUKOUI-ATTONS CONCBBNINU HIS BBOENT MOVE MENTS—PARIKN, BRUNSWICK, SAVANNAH, AKD BEACBOET. Admittedly, General Sherman Is nearing the Georgia ooast, and, perhaps, as we write, is. within sieging- point of Savannah, from whioh he was lately reported, upon random testimony, to be bnt six miles away. At all events, it seems established that Sherman’s object Is still, as It has ever been, Sa vannah. We emphasize this fact, because tho Geor gia press in general, and a Richmond organ of the re bel oligarchy, appeared lately to believe that ho had been compelled, In view of th o formidable character of his reception on tho road towards Savannah,' to divert his original aim toward Darien or Bruns wick. On tho contrary, Sherman’s main body has been marching between theOgeeoheeand Savannah rivers, taking the ridge of landfianked on both sidos by the great river marshes. The junction of Mb forces at Milton settles the question of Ms purpose on Savannah. The Darien or Brunswick theory may be explained by supposing that Sherman threatened the line of eommunioation running to ward Florida, from Savannah, with the intention of diverting dr baffling the enemy, and making safe every road leading to the destined city. The line we have indicated rnns to Brunswick, fifty miles be low Savannah, where, if failing in his main object, the rebels Imagined Sherman could open oommuni* tion-with the fleet, Darien is a point on theooast nearer to Savannah, and conneating with the Brunswiok Railroad by country roads. Sherman has evidently no need of either of these places, un less he be defeated {wMch he is not), or encounters difficulties sufficient to force him to make atardy siege of Savannah—in which case he would require seme point of communication on the coast. The Darien speculation, however,.is no longer of service. A JUNCTION WITH POSTER, The junction of Sherman’s forces at Milton ap pears to have determined his object In the minds of the Georgians. The Richmond papers, which have gathered the latest intelligence from the press of Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta, grant that our army is fast approacMng the coast, bnt cannot teU whether Sherman will be able to make a junc tion with Foster near Grahamviiles, and, with Beau fort as a base of operations, more on Savannah, or lay direct siege to tho city. Should he try the latter experiment he is threatened with an accumulated opposition of which he has not yet dreamed, in the former case he will move to out Savannah off from all communication northward, preparatory to taking it. Sherman,-it is understood, has the combined skill of Generalissimos Bragg and Beauregard, Lieutenant Generals Hardee and Dick Taylor, Ma jor Generals Wads'Hampton, Wheeler, and Gusta vos Smith, and Brigadiers Wayne, PMIHps, and Cobb to oppose Mm. An army proportionate to tMs array of generals would be formidable. The great battle expected has perhaps already taken place. ‘-'Let him do what he-will,” says the Rich mond Examiner, “he will certainly ieel that never was general In a more critical situation.” With all this, it seems to be admitted that Sherman has passed the point or crisis marked out for him,' and that his army Is la splendid condition, “admira bly clothed and appointed, each man having eighty rounds of ammunition,”, and “tho wagons contain ing fixed material without stint,” and “rations for forty days.” SHBBMAH WAITBD 808 BY THE TIBET—BEAUFORT OB SAVAHHAH 1 “ General Sherman is at last approaching the coast, whither he has been travelling twenty-three days,” says the Richmond Examiner of Deoembor T. For five days, up to Friday week, (says the Rich mond Dispatch,) Sherman’S average marching has been only five miles per day—a delay most danger ous to him. He has wasted too much time to think now; about obliquing to his right and marching for Brunswick, on the Georgia coast, and must of ne cessity strike for Savannah or Beaufort, South Oa rolina, the nearest point. He was expected by the Jlcct at Savannah as early as Sunday, the 26th, and all that night the Federal shipping was throwing up signal rockets for his information. He had not got ten further, if as far, as Milieu on tha second day of the month—last Friday*- Ail the ferries on the Sa vannah are guarded. • HIS HUMESES AM» OEOOEAPHIOAL POSIT! ON. The Georgia papers inform us that there is much straggling from Sherman’s army, whioh is estimated at 30,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. The situation thus far placcß him between the Ogechee and Savannah rivers, in the neighborhood of Mitten, the junction of the road from Augusta with the road from Savannah to Macon. Milieu is seventy-nine miles from Sa vannah and fifty-throe from Augusta. Sherman’s situation is a very difficult one for a forward move, ment in any direction, -"He seems father to have thrown himself out of the road to any point south of Savannah. "But if he march on that attempt to cross,tile Savannah river and strike for Beaufort, he will encounter difficulties which we can scarcely sup pose he would voluntarily confront" His road will Tie through marshes, and easy or obstruction. The Savannah river is ours, and the ferries are guarded. Whether he will attempt to break through these obstacles or encounter others scarcely less formi dable, it may be farther South, this week will pro - ' bably determine. IHOIDBNTS OP THE MAECH—OH TO SAVAHHAH. in Sherman’s route from Milledgeville (so we gather from the Chronicle and Sentinel of Augusta), Ms army destroyed, as far as possible, all mills, oilbs, and gin-houses, cotton screws, cotton imple ments, etc., and carried off all stoch, provisions, and negroes. At EatonvJHeover one hundred horses, which had given ont, were killed. The road along was-! 1 strewn with dead negro women and children”,—a statement calculated to frighten the slaves. At Montlcollo a man by the name of Smith was hong. A large, quantity of ungathered corn was spared, but “there it not a horse or cos in the country round.” Thearmy was under strict dlsoipline, and when privates were, found.depredating on private property they were severely punished by order of Sherman. Stragglers committed depredations with impunity, but Gon. Slocum gave orders to the citizens along the route to shoot them down without .mercy, and sometimes the plunderers were whipped. Great astonishment was expressed at the richness of the country. The town of Forsyth was reported demolished bythe right wing of the Federal army, under Howard, which crossed the Ocmulgee between Adams’ Ferry and Macon. Rebel soldiers captured were Invari ably treated as prisoners of war. It may be conjectured from these items that the Georgians do;not entertain the worst opinion of Sherman, and that he las conducted his march with excellent system and order. But another story Is published In a later number of one of the Georgia papers, in which It Is stated, upon no puthority whatever, that the Yankee sol diers have used dreadful and nameless violence to ward many women. Equally o’redlble with this is the statement that the negroes are “desperately afraid of their liberators.” The campaign In Georgia ,1s not without its hu mors. A droll story Is related in the Richmond pipers, at the expense of General Anderson, of the 3d Brigade Georgia Militia, who was wounded at Grlßwoldsvllle. His brigade suffered heavy loss; and while he behaved gallantly, It is charged that he acted rashly in attempting to storm breastworks over an open field, with a morass Intervening, with out reasonable prospect of success! WASHINGTON. ' Washington, December 10. BURNING OF A BLOCKADE-RUNNER, Admiral Forter communicates to the Navy De partment information of tile burning of the blookade runner Ella, off •Wilmington, by an;expBditlonfrom the United States steamer Emma. She was loaded with arms and ammunition,' and was bound for 'Wilmington. She was run ashore under the guns of the enemy’s batteries on the 3d Instant, and was subsequently destroyed.. From papers found on board, she must have sailed from Nassau- some time in the latter part of November. The expedi tion Bom the Emma was composed of -6 men, under charge of Acting Ensign Sampson, assisted by Acting Third Assistant Engineer Chuhchill. Much praise is accorded them for the creditable manner in which the work was performed, BELLING GOODS' TO BLOCKADE-BUNNEBS. Five or six merchants of Washington, charged with selling goods to blockade-runners, who were at large on parole, have been re-eommitted to the Old jCepitol Prison, by order of the Secretary of War. LOBD LYONS’ ESTABLISHMENT. " The horses, carriages, liquors, fcc., belonging to the'establishment of Lord Lyons, have been sold at auotlgn. The prices of the wlneß ranged from thirty to forty dollars per dozen, and the brandies at seven dollars and fifty cents per botue. This disposition of his property Indicates that Lord Lyons will not Boon return to this country, If at all. THE LEGISLATURE OF VIRGINIA—ELECTION QF U. S. SENATORS. The Legislature ofVirglnia, as contradistinguished ftom that of West Virginia, now In session at Alex andria, have elected Joseph Segar to fill the va cancy in the U. S. Senate occasioned by the death of Mr. Bowden, and John C. Uhdebwood, at present U. S. District Judge, in place of Mr. O An num, whose term .of office will expire on the 4th of March next. COMMODORE CRAVEN’S CONGRATULATIONS. Commodore craven, of the United States ship Niagara, In a letter to tho Navy Department, dated at Antwerp, Not. 22, says: “On receiving the an nouncement of the re-election of President Lin coln we Immediately dressed our vessel with the natlenartlag at her mast-heads. We considered this to he the greatest and most Important contest of the war, and moet glorious in Its results, I have again dressed Bhlp to-day, and at noon fired a sa lute of twenty-one guns. It Is, I believe, the first time since our national existence that such a de monstration was made by any of our ships, of war, but the occasion seemed so momentous and all glo rious to me that i cannot resist the Impulse to , thus manifest my joy.” THE IST ARMY CORPS. In answer to many Inquiries, It is stated that sub stitutes for enrolled men may be enlisted In the Ist . Corps, Major General Hancock commanding, and principals will be exempt lrom draft, but such sub stitutes will not receive the Government bounty. They should bo forwarded to WasMngton for en listment. Representative weruits,>owetr«r, may be enlisted in the oorps, and these will receive the Government bounty. * REFUGEES. Seven men, five women, and four children, refu gees fi om Lynchburg, Virginia, presented them selves at the provost marshal’s office to-day.

They were heard from yesterday afternoon, and had crossed Nottaway river on the Jerusalem road, without opposition -of any note. They crossed on pontoons, which they took up after doing so. Deserters who came In to day state that Mahone’s division was Bent off yesterday to meet them, but as no firing in that direction has been heard to,day,- it is not believed that any engagement has taken place. , t / rROBABIE PIOHT WITH WABBBH’S OOBPS.

Skirmishing continued for some time, when, the object of the movement having been accomplished, the party returned. Qor toss was seven men wounded; that of the enemy is not known. Some of those who accompanied the party report that firing was heard In the direction of Stony Greek, which would indicate that a fight was going on between General Warren and the enemy. Reports are ourrent that the evacuation of Pe tersburg may be looked for, but very little attention is paid to these rumors. .W. D. MdGßaaoß. UHB LATEST JfKOM THE KIOKMOND FAPKP.3.

Hbadquabtebs Army op the Potohao, De cember s, P. M.—Another reconnolesanee was mad e > this meaning along the Vaughn road towards Hatch er’s Run, oyer the same route the cavalry went yes i'erday. The force consisted- of detachments from several regiments of cavalry under Colonel Ktr win, of the 13Ul Pennsylvania, and three, brigades of the Ist Divlson of the 2d Corps, under General Miles. The videttes of the enemy were driven across the run, when a sharp fire was opened on the advance from a line of breastworks on.the opposite side. Afterspme skirmishing to discover the strength of the enemy, a charge was made across the run, and the works were carried by assault, but not rill the rebels had made good their retreat up the south side. Our men took position in the captured en trenchments, while skirmishers were thrown out on both flanks. ■ , Soon, after a report came that the enemywere moving up and across tho run, half a mile west of the road our troops were on, evincing an intention to attack on the right flank. Gen. Miles at once disposed Ms command to receive them If they should attempt it. He also went back for reinforcements, which were- given him at once; but the enemy did not make their appearance during the afternoon,' and it fs believed they fell baok to a stronger post-, tion, at Armstrong’s Mills, a mile and a half west. The impression Is that they had no large force in the vicinity, otherwise they would have made a more'stubbom resistance to our advancer Our loss in the charge was 17 men wounded, and among them Lieut. Word, of the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry. The loss of the enemy is not known. If they had any, they earrtod them off, for none toll Into onr hands. In the afternoon reports oame that'the eisemy were moving towards the left in heavy force, and arrangements were made to meet them, but up to this hour (midnight) they have not ap peared.

V APPROACHING SAVANNAH, i Washington, Dec. 10.—The Republican says: . “It Is reported In reliable military circles that inform ation hagboon received that Gen. Sherman’s cavalry crossed the Ogeob.ee canal, and appeared in therear of Savannah at two points on Thursday.. It Is re ported that one portion of the forge dashed into and captured Yainacraw, while the other sweptarouud on the south as.far as Beulah. Yamaeraw Is'just north ofSavsnnah. Beulah, we believe, Is on the Vernon river, a tributary to the Ossabaw sound.” : SHERMAN WITHIN SIX Minas' OB’ SAVANNAH—USE SENDING TROOPB TO GEORGIA. Washington, Deo. 10.—It Is reported direct from General Giant’B army, that on Wednesday the re bels had Information that Sherman’s advance was within six miles of Savannah. At this point he had 'halted, and was awaiting the arrival of certain por tions of his command which had been sent in dif ferent directions for the purpose of misleading the' enemy. Deserters who gave this Information also state that there Is great dissatisfaction in the rebel ranks, heoause; correct Information of Sherman’s movements is withheld from, them. Especially Is this so among the Georgia troops. They also report that many of our prisoners have escaped from their confinement, and joined Sherman. It was also evi dent from the conversation of these deserters, that Lee had detached troops from Ms army and sent them to Georgia towwjsist in arresting Sherman’s advance. It Is not too great an Inference to draw ftom the above facts, that ere tMs Sherman has thundered at the gates of Savannah,.and most pro bably with success. ■ THE LATEST ERONC SHERMAN.

When the Victor sailed on Wednesday heavy firing was heard in the direction of Savannah, indi cating either an attack on Savannah or the railroad between the two cities. All agree that Savannah must fall. There are two laches of snow at Nashville, and the weather Is colder.

The blockade below Nashville continues. The rebels have six batteries along the river, too power ful for our gunboats, with theft present low range. Thirteen colored troops of Cooper’s brigade, on Its late march ftom Johnsonvllle to Oentfevllle, were captured by guerillas, drawn up In line, faces averted, and shot. The official figures of the battle at Franklin show our aggregate loss to have been 140 oftoers and 2,OSS enlisted men. ' .

Fobbebt’b. “ Othello,”—Thisevening and to morrow evening Mr. Forrest win perform one: of his most impressive characters. What was thought of It on Um stage of Kean, Kemble, and Garrick map be judged by the following: [From tie London Globe, Oct. 25, 1845. ] “Accordingly, last night Mr. Forrest selected as his second character the fiery Othello, the Moor, ‘ who loved not wisely but too well. 1 There was nobly daring in this flight-go soon, too. after he whose voice sail dwells upon all ears tad passed away from among us.; to essay any character before anEnglteh audience in which Edmund Koan was remembered, was Itself no slight ambition, no tMing indication of that self-confidence which, when necessary, true genius can manifest; but to make that attempt in Othello was, indeed, great da rlpg. And nobly, we feel proud to say, did the per formance bear out the promise. ■ “ There were, it is passages like Kean, be cause the acting of Kean therein was Nature’s self, and It gave proof of a courageous as well as a dls crimlßatlsgmind,that his successor did not over step Nature because Kean kad.gone before him, or abandon the course she pointed out, with the igno ble aim of pleasing thodb little-minded critics, who, unable to appreciate genius, or recognise Its truest instincts, catch at the minor points of criticism, of which alone their shallow minds are capable: and because two men of gifted minds adopt the same reading of the part, and similarly embody it into acHon, cry out * Imitation’—this is the cant of criticism at whlob our English Rabelais so pronerlv ** F6rreßt for .“The third act was. a splendid presentment throughout: be had evidentlystudledthe charac ter with the judgment oFa scholar, 1 and a ripe and •good one’—each, shadeof the jealous character of the easy Moor, from the first faint guessings at bis temptbr’s meaning to the full convlotion or his wife's dishonesty, were brought out with the touch of the master.hand, and embodied with a skill equalling that of any actor we have seen, and far. very far superior to the manner in which any other .of our living performers oould attempt It. This third act alone would have placed Mr. Forrest In the foremost rank of his profession, had he never done anything else; and so his kindling audience seemed to feel, as much In thedeep watching silence of. their attention, as in the tremendous plaudits which hailed what on the stage aro teohlcally called 4 the points 1 ho made. ' “In the two Succeeding actshe was equally great in the passages which called forth the burning passions of Sis fiery soul But we shall nofcat present particularize; where sJ.I was soodit would. be difficult, and we have already nearly run through Ihe dictionary of panegyrio. We shall, howevw, make It a point to see the Character again; for. in accordance with aburst of applause suoh as seldom follows the fall of the curtain, Mr. Cooper an nounced ‘ Othello ’ for repetition on Wednesday and Friday.” 1 Tins Classical Soibebs op Wolpsobh Arm Thomas.—The first classical concert of Messrs.

Snwnto Machines pok Christmas Pbbsbhts. —As sewing machines will undoubtedly form a pro minent feature In the purchase of gifts for the coming holidays, we would urge upon our readers the propriety of selecting the best Jainlly machines. At the head of the list stands the “ Grover a Baker” Instrument, sold at 730 Chestnut street. These cele brated machine*, as well as the work executed upon them, have taken the highest premium wherever they have been exhibited taoompeUtl«iwlth otiiers, without a angle exception. For the following rea sons, among'others, we would advise all purchasers, of sewing machines to give the “ Grover & Baker” the preference over all others : - i. It makes Hie only seam formed by a sawing ma chine In which eaoh stitch is Independently looked, and without dependence upon the other stitches for strength. * 2. It makes the imly seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without in jury to the seam in wear. 3, It to fasten the ends of seams made by this machine. This Is done by the machine Itself, without the use of the hand needle. 4, The Cirover & Baker ‘stitch Is the only one formed from two ordinary: spools, and without wlnd ingfrom the spool into a shuttle from three to five times for the nhder thread. • , ~ -r— •*—»»* i 3. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a sewing machine, and is consequent ly very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron. 0. The machine is adapted to -all varieties of fa tales, sewing each equally well, and requiring no adjustment for any kind of sewing other than the adaptation of needles and thread. 7. It is moroeasUj kept in order than any other machine, and neddnot be taken apart to be oiled. S. The machine sews common spool cotton, silk and linen thread with equal facility., , 9. The machine Is so simple that an Intelligent child of ten years can readily learn to operate and keep It In order. 10.
