A LEAF OF HISTORY.
Important Letters Between Generals
Grant t;iad Sherman,
what Each thought Of awl:Puler when the Lieutenant
oeneralshia was Reereated.
The following two historleal letters are
taken from the advance sheets of Colonel
Bowman's history of " Sherman and his Cam
paign," shortly to be published by C. B. Rich
pr4son, of Now York, Colonel Bowman writes;
GENERAL GRANT TO GENERAL SHERMAN
On the 4th of March, 1864, at Nashville, Major
General Grant received telegraph orders to
report in person at WashingtonL Congress
bad passed an act authorizing the appoint
ment of a Lieutenant General to command the
armies of the United States, and the President,
had nominated General Grant for the appoint-
Ment. Before starting on his journey, Grant
pelzed his pen, and in the very moment of his
greatest elevation, filled with generosity to
ward those others, to whose exertions he mod.
catty chose to itSeribe WS own amervoa re.
- ward, hastily wrote these touching lines:
"Dzelienita3lA7c: The bill revivingthe grade
of Lieutenant General in the army has become
a law, and my name has been sent to the Se
nate for the place. I now receive orders to re
port to Washington immediately in person,
which indicates a confirmation, or a likelihood
of confirmation.
"I start in the morning to comply with the
order.l
"Whilst I have been eminently successful in
this war, in at least gaining the confidence of
the public, no one feels more than I how much
of this success is due to the energy, skill, and
the harmonious putting forth of that energy
and skill, of those whom it has been my good
Sunnite to have Occupying subordinate posi
lions under me.
"There are many officers to whom these re-
Inarks are applicable, to a greater or less de
gree, proportionate to their ability as 501-
d iers but what I want is to express my thanks
to you and AlePherson,as the men to whom,
above all others, I feel indebted ter whatever
have had of success.
"How far your advice and assistance hav'e
been of help to me, you know. How far your
execution of whatever has been given you to
do entitles you to the reward I am receiving,
3-ou cannot know as well as I.
"I feel all the gratitude this letter would ex
press, giving it the most flattering construc
tion.
" The word you I use in the plural, intending
it for McPherson also. 1 should write to him,
and will some day, but starting in the morn
ing, I do not know that I will find time just
now. Your friend,
"U. S. GRANT, Major erelteral."
Sherman received this letter near Memphis
lon the 10th of Ai arch and immediately-replied
"DEAR GENERAL I have your more than'kind
rind characteristic letter of the 4th instant.
I will send a copy to General McPherson at
Duce.
"You do yourself injustice and us too much
lonor in assigning to us too large a share of
the merits which have led to your high ad
vancement. I know you approve the friend
phip I have ever professed to 3 - ou, and will
permit me to continue, as heretofore, to maul
lest it on all proper occasions.
" You are now IVashington's legitimate suc
cessor, and occupy a position of almost
;dangerous elevation ; but if you can con
tinue, as heretofore, to be yourself, simple,
honest and unpretending, you will enjoy
through life the respect and love of friends,
.tind the homage of millions of human beitioN
that will award you a large share in securing
lo them and their descendants a government
iof law and stability.
" I repeat, you do Gen, 'McPherson and my.
Pelf too much honor. At Belmont you mani
fested your traits—neither of us being, near.
-At Donelson, also, you illustrated your whole
character. 1 was not near, and Gen. MoPher
pon in too subordinate a capacity to influence
you.
"Until you bad won Donelson, I confess I
was almost cowed by the terrible array of
anarchical elements that presented them
:selves at every point; but that admitted a ray
or light I have followed since.
"I believe you are as brave, patriotic and
just as the great prototype, Washington—as
mnselfish, kind-hearted and honest as a man
be—but 'the chief characteristic is the
Eimple faith in success you have always mani
fested, which I can liken to nothing else than
Ile faith a Christian has in the Saviour.
This faith gave you victory at Shiloh and
"Vicksburg. Also, when you have completed
your preparations, you go into battle without
hesitation, as at Chattanooga—no doubts, no
reserves; and I tell you, it was this that made
vs act with confidence. I knew, wherever I
vas. that Ton thought of me, and if I got in a
right place you would help me out, if alive.
"My only point of doubt was, in your know
ledge of grand strategy, and of books of
Science and history 5 but, I confess, your corn
anon sense seems to have supplied allthese.
Now as to the future. Don't stay in Wash
in gto4 ; come West; take to yourself the
- IA - hole' Mississippi Valley. Let us make it
dead sure, and I tell you the Atlantic slopes
and the Pacific shores will follow its destiny,
as sure as the limbs of a tree live or die with
the main trunk. We have done much, but still
Much remains. Time and time's influences
are with us. We could almost alford to sit
still and let these influences work.
" Here lies the seat of the comincomingempire ;
and from the West, when our task is done, we
%ill make short work of Charleston and Rich
mond, and the impoverished coast of the At
an tic. Your sincere friend."
Public Amusenatents.
ACADENT or Music.—Marge and fashionable
audience greeted the reappearance of Mr. and
31rs. Charles Kean yesterday evening. The
play of "Henry the Eighth," which Mr. Grant
White thinks was Shakspeare's latest produc
tion (written at Stratford in 1613), was razded
into three acts—the fall of Wolsey being the
finale. There is -no occasion to criticise any
but the two leading performers, but justice
compels us to say that Mr. Mayo, who has at
tained his reputation in California, rendered
the character of blug King Hall judiciouslyand
effectively—his make-up, after the well•lcnown
portrait byMobein, was excellent : that Mr. J.
Y. Cathcart and Mr. Geo. Everett respectively
represented Thomas Cromwell and Lord Surrey
in a satisfactory. .manner, and that—in voice,
!emphasis, and action—the part of the Duke of
Euekingham was made the comic character of
the piece. Mrs. Kean played Queen Katherine
in a manner which may be pronounced mose
respectable than superior. She has a line
presence, for the gliding years have matured
leer into a comely and buxoin matron, but her
Voice haslost some of its old sweetness. It is
impossible, however, that she could lose the
fine judgment which made her the favorite
actress we recollect her as, and, therefore,
giale sustained the part of Katherine in a
generally satisfactory manner. Her ap
peal to the King, in the trial-scene, was
effective, and -touching in its tender pa
--0.61.--The great point, "To yau I speak, Lord
Cardinal," of which, t radition tells us, Mrs.
;Siddons made so much, was not delivered
'with sufficient power; we think, in short,
that Mrs. Kean does not play this character as
Well as Madame Ponosi tlOts, Of Mr. Kean
our judgment is far more favorable. He
looked the great Churchman, and yet his
''make-up" was of the simplest. He reserved
jihnself for the last act, the construction
of me play permitting it, and achieved.
a striking success. His bye-play was won
derfully good. The well-known soliloquy,
coretnaleingi oFarewell 1 a long fare
-well to all my greatness, ,, was cer
tainly one of the finest pieces of elocution
We ever heard, and when ended a cordial
round Of applause, simultaneously given from
all parts of the house, acknowledged its excel
lence. Mr. Kean retains most of his old man
nerisms, and there is the old hitch in his pro
nunciation, and the occasional bark to break
the monotones of his voice; but he manages
these peculiarities with Such singular skill
that one almost forgets them- Ile has almost
'wholly lost the frequent hiss in his utter-
Once, which used to be unpleasant. -In short,
'jig is a fine actor, who has become so by
practice, perseverance, and great study. Col
man's comedy of "The Jealous Wife," out
dOWn into an afterpiecei followed the play.
Mr. Kean took the part of Mr. Oakley, Mrs.
Kean that of Mn.e Oakley. Those who recol
lect how well Mr. Kean used to play Don Felix
in Mrs. Ceutlivre's Portuguese play, could not
leave been surprised by the ease and natural
ness with which he rendered the part of Mr.
Oakley. .As the Jealous Wife, Mrs. Kean made
Several fine points, but as a whole, we cannot
say that she is equal to Mrs. Drew in this part.
n'o-morrow evening, she will play Portia in
The Merchant of Venice," to her husbancPs
iShylock, and the character will suit her present
capabilities better than either of those she
represented last night.
CHESTICUT•STREET THEATRE—The melo•dra
7na of "Monte Cristo," founded on Dumas ,
Veil -- 00i D tetnallCe i has been reViyed ;it this
theatre, and put upon the stage in a very at
tractive manner. The masquerade scene' is
particularly /splendid and successful, its
peenie and other effects being increased by
the performances of a full and excellent corps
de ballet As a spectacular piece " Monte
Cristo," as played here, has rarely been equal
led. Miss Orton, who is at once very pretty
And very talented—better, in fact, than half of
Vie so-called "stars," who
" Keep theword ofpromiseto the ear
And break it to the hope,""
is cast in a part to which she does justice. It
appears to us, merely " a looker-on in Venice,"
'before the scenes, that the manager has made
a mistake in not putting Mr. G. H. Clarke into
the part of Mottle Cristo, instead of Mr. Mor
daunt. The Count, as drawn by Dumas, is
a gentleman of - varied accomplishments, ex
tremely attractive in manner, elegant in per
eon—altogether a sort of human chef d'oeuvre,
rarlacn nature and education have combined to
Snake perfect. Mr. Mordaunt is too " heavy"
tor such a part, though he plays very well
when a eharatiter suits him and he suite the
Character. His face is deficient in expression,
pis figure is too rotund, his voice is too harsh,
and his manner angular whenn is not brusque.
lir, Clarke. on the contrary, has a line voice,
Isis face is han d som e and expressive, his action
graceful and his figure light. He is a good
actor, too. and of this we would desire no bet
xer the able manner with which
,he played CopluittSalan in " The Angel of Mid
xight." It bas been said that Mr. Clarke is
tiellelent in force; we cannot say, because we
have never seen him in a character in which
his was called upon to be forcible. He is one
of our most promising actors ; and if he be as
young as lie looks on the stage, and take pains
to advance in his profession, by 'thoughtful
Ittudy—trying to play a poor part as if it wore
a great one—cannot fail, ere long, to stand very
high in his profession. •
WAIdiUT-STEBET BOwers, we
beg to remind her friends, will take a benefit
this evening. Her engagement has been very
successful. On the whole, (though the drama.
tic version which she plays is a misera
ble paste-and-scissors manufacture, in which
many of the novelist's line points are onlittea
or spelled,) Aire. Bowers has been most sue
cesEtu/ in `lEast Lynne." After seeing her in
the duplicated character of Lady Isabel and
Madame Tine, one wonders at the miserable
taste of audienees who could admire the ex
aggerations and affectations of Lucille West
ern. In a small part in this play Miss Effie
Germon, who hits grown somewhat eareless of
late, shows a great deal of natural ability. If
she would only study, so as thoroughly to un
dcrstand and - deliver the dramatist's thoughts,
' she would be one of the best, - as she is among
the prettiest soubrettes on the stage. In " East
Lynne," too, Mr. John McCullough renders
the part of Ili% aertyle with a great deal Of
judgment. Mr. Barton Hill, as Sir .Pranqis
Levison, shows that another besides Mr. Lauer
gan (who played. it here, two years ago), can
make this non-descript character effective. In
his hands, the fascinating, well-dressed, easy
.mannered, cold-blooded heartless man of
fashion is rendered to the life. It is a mere
sketch in the novel and in the play, but he fills
it up with consummate ability, and succeeds
in avoiding over-acting, with strong tempta
tions to fall into it. There is a rumor that/
lifter the close of Mrs. Bowers' engagement'
Mr. Barton Hill is to leave Walnut-street
Theatre. All we would say is, that, instead of
diseardinl, right-bower? which Mr. B.
Hill certainly is, the manager would do well
to strengthen his hand by getting a few more
trumps into it. The stoat eompaay at this
theatre, instead of being weakened by parting
with its bestperformer, ought be strengthened
by the addition of a clever leading lady and of
an " old-woman" actress, Where so much
competition prevails, a theatrical company
can scarcely be too strong.
ARCH-STREET THEATRE.—Mrs. I% W. Lander's
engagement terminates this week, and she
has a benefit this evening. The company at
this theatre is undoubtely the best in the
city—not equalled in New York, except at Wel
lack,s theatre. Mrs. Drew exercises the at,
_ .
most liberality also, In the manner in which
the performances. here are placed upon the
stage. Mrs. Lander will have a tollhouse this
evening, and merits public favor on personal
as well as upon professional grounds. Her grievously afflicted by the war, in which
her gal/ant husband perished...all but the
memory of a brave man and true patriot—she
fulfilled, at the bed-side of our wounded
warriors, that part of woman's mission
in which humanity is moat actively employed.
Mr. and Mrs. : Barney Williams, who succeed
Mrs. Lander at this theatre, appear on Mon.
day. The public may safely calculate on
having a few weeks; hearty laughter with and
at "the Yankee gal" and "the Irish boy." We
give thepas to the lady—first, because sheis a
lady, and next because she was the first to
play the "native American" parts, in which
she has never had an equal. On dit, that Bar
ney Williams has added several now and aree,
tive plays to his repertoire, Willett will be pro
duced during this engagement. Truth to say'
a few novelties would not be unwelcome,
though, no doubt, the public would continue
to laugh at the accustomed performances.
NEW AMERICAN THEATRE.—We suspect that
Mr. Fox is making a great deal of money in
this second Walnut-street Theatre. The per•
formances can scarcely be quoted as belonging
altogether to the " legitimate " drama, but
they are very good of their sort, and draw
crowded houses. The plays for this evening
are "Handsome Jack," in which dashing Miss
Fisher plays what is called a " breeches" part,
that of George Wader, and plays it well, too.
Then there is an interlutle of dancing, after
which the farce of " Life in India." In this the
chief comic characters are Tont 2hpc and Salty
Scruggs. Mr. S. Bemple, as the former, gives
us a lively and rather broad performance—.
laughable enough, but Hemple all over. Every
part he plays is liemple. The costume
makes the principal difference. As Tbm 21tpe,
however, he varied it somewhat, though his
imitations are but middling. Miss Nellie John
son, who is very pretty, has not begun to have
a correct idea how the part of Sally Scraggs
should be played. Tomorrow afternoon, as a
matinee performance, "The French Spy on
Horseback," - will be given. Miss Fisher's ape
°laity is in the equestrian line, and she is very
attractive in the saddle. By the way, the au
diences at this house are adtlirable listeners,
while whO do not sanction private conversation
any performer is speaking.
MtsicAL FUND Harr.—The concert at this
hall, last evening, was devoid of the o-vzvontOCl
chief attrectieo—the singing of Master itichard
Coker. Master C. had contracted a very se
vere cold whilst on his way from New York,
and was, therefore, unable to appear. The
tickets were returned to those present, and an
announcement made that the concert would
be given this evening, in the • same place. So
that our citizens will not be deprived of hear
ing this wonderful youth.

THE CITY.
THE GRAND CRICKET MATCH FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Philadelphians Viotc>rioxis
Yesterday the grand contest at cricket, be
tween the Philadelphia Clnb, of this city, and
the St. George's Club, of New York, was
finished, the Philadelphians winning. The
game was closely contested throughout. The
excitement has been very great since it was
announced that these clubs, the first in the
United States, were to play, and decide be
tween them which should be the champion
club of the North American continent.
. . . _
Feeling has run high upon the subject, and
many of the friend of the clubs were ready
to stake large amounts of money on the suc
cess of their favorite organizations. Bets
were freely offered and as freely taken, and a
considerable amount of money must have
changed hands. The result, however, has been
DO surprise , except to the New - Yorkers and
their friends, who thought that nothing good
could come out of what they were pleased to
term a village. They have been fairly and
honorably beaten in two games, and Phila
delphia may now pride herself upon being
first not only in base ball but in cricket, also.
The genie closed on Wednesday with a score
Of 79 to 07, the Philadelphians taking the
highest number. Yesterday Messrs. Hatfield
and Mumford opened the game, with Messrs.
Barclay and George Wright as bowlers. Mr.
Minnford was soon deprived of his bat, and
was followed by Mr. Gibbes with Harry
Wright as bowler, scoring 9 in magnificent
style, when he, too from force of circum
stances, dropped thebat. Mr. S. Wright fol
lowed and was caught out, but not until the
score of the St. George had been considerably
increased. • Kendall followed and scored 10,
when he was put out by Large. Harry Wright
followed, making a score of 43,. and was suc
ceeded by Mr. Megrath, who finished with 9,
making the total score of the New Yorkers 91.
Notwithstanding all this the Philadelphians
were confident of victory, and went to their
work in splendid style. The gentlemen from
the Metropolis were jubilant, and fully relied
on taking their own ball and another one .to
Gotham, but they soon found out that their
hopes were vain.
The most noticeable scores made by the Phi
ladelphians were 17 by Barclay and 20 by .7-ar
ils, Who was still ready when gamefwas call
ed and the wickets were drawn by the umpire.
The game was decided for the Philadelphians,
and the New Yorkers gracefully yieided the
ball.

CANINE SAoAcrry.—A short time ago,
while a gentleman of our acquaintance was
gunning in the lower part of the city, in com
pany with a friend having a small spaniel with
him, the dog, while endeavoring to jump over
a well, miscalculated the distance and Tell in.
The surface of the water was about seven feet
below the top of the well. The dog swam
around until nearly exhausted, and our friend
thought thathe was about to lose a valuable
animal, when the other gentleman noticed
that he was making frequent but vain attempts
to Catch a twig thathlang a abort distance down
the well. Thi. suggested to him the idea - of
making the animal's sagacity the means of sa
ving his life. The handkerchiefs and neckties
of both parties were instantly called into re.
quisition and tied together. A small knot was
made at one end, which was let down to the
dog, when he immediately serzed it in his
mouth and holding on with grim tenacity was
drawn out of the water and landed safely on
terra firma. Ills pleasure was extreme, and he
testified it as only a dog can. He wagged his
tail until it was impossible to count the vibra
tions, so rapid were they, and he shook himself
until the water flow olf in every direction,
And so was a dog's life saved by his sagacity.
ON WEDNESDAY EYENINqr an adjourned
stated meeting of the Military Order of the
Loyal Legion was held in the Supreme Court
room. A number of gentlemen were elected
members, and the names of others were re
ferred to a committee of investigation into
their record. This organization Is very popu•
lar, and district coommanderies are about being
organized at Lancaster, Norristown and flex
riihurg. Its object is most laudable—that of
cementing the friendships made in the service
and perpetuating a military .feeling in the old
comrades-in-arms. Numerous distinguished
officers of the army and navy have joined, and
upon its roster are found the names of many
gentlemen now civilians who, during the past
rebellion, distinguished themselves as officers
in the cause of freedom and off mace.
THE MAMMOTH FAU AT THE ANEEIOAA
ACADEMY OF Music.—The arrangements for the
mat fair to he held within the gilded walls
of thin palatial building, at the corner of
Broad and Locust streets, for the Soldiers , and
Sailors' Home, are progressing finely.- The
fair will open on the 23d Mat.
Among other things, it is proposed to print
a daily journal, which shall be a model in
every respect. Me subscription price will be
0.50. A committee of gentlemen who have
had much newspaper experience will superin
tend the publication. The paper will be of
medium size, handsomely printed, and no
, effort will be spared to make it the most inte
resting of the kind ever published. Distin
guished literary ladies and gentlemen have
consented to contribute to its columns. The
articles will be generallyshort. full of variety,
which is conceded to be the spice of life,
It is already understood, from articles pub
lished in. .The Press, that the Home is a char
tered institution, that
inaugurated several
years since. Although it is located in Phila
delphia, its benefactions are not limited by
State boundaries. Its doors are freely opened
to every deserving soldier and sailor of the
Republic who seeks admission.
The management contemplate an Industrial
Department, in the institution, in which the
inmates who are able to work at their trades
may find employment,and thus be relieved
from the position of mere dependents on pub
lic charity. It contemplates also a depart
ment where children of those who have died
in the service will be tenderly protected and
carefully educated and prepared for suitable
vocations. The orphan children, whose fathers
have fallen in our great struggle, are also spe
cially entitled to the public favor and protec
tion. Let us provide a home worthy of their
acceptance, and worthy of a people whose
property they have protected, whose liberty
they have secured, whose Government they
have saved, and whose hearts they have glad
dened by their splendid achievements.
VISITING FIREMEN.—Quite a number of
fire companies from abroad intend starting
from their 'respective locations, on Saturday,
for Philadelphia, to take part in the grand de
monstration' on Dionday next. These compa
nies may be expected to arrive at different
times on Saturday night, and some of them on
the day following. The various presents in
tended for them are numerous as they are
beautiful and appropriate, as mementoes of the
greatest parade of firemen. The amount of
money required to get up such a demonstra
tion is immense, and as it flows through and
for the benefit of the working classes it must
be the means of doing good to a great.number
of operatives. It is estimated that half a mil
lion of dollars will change hands through the
medium of the firemen's parade. Money, like
the blood in the human system, should. Circu
late, in order to do good. The firemen have
done their share in the present instance.
BASE-BALL TOMINAMENT.—The Alert
Club, of Danville, Inntour county, has made
arrangements for a grand base-ball tourna
ment in that town, on the 10th and 20th of this
month. • Db_ey have invited the Williamsport
Club, the Wyoming 03.11), of §oranton, the
Susquehanna Club, of Wilkesbarre, and the
Athletic Club, of this city . . All these organi
zations have accepted the invitation. The
Athletics are expected to play against each of
these invited clubs, and also wall the Alert,
two gamem being played each day. A very
pleasant time may be expected, as the Alert
Club is a whole-souled organization of gentle
men, who will do everything in their power
to properly entertain their guests and have a
tournament well worth witnessing.
BROTHERLY LOVE,—Messrs. Geo. Hen
sler. John A. Maburg, Geo. McEneu, Wm. Port
er and Wm. McCoy will leave the city at 8
o'clock this morning for Reading. It is the
duty or these gentlemen to formally extend
an invitation to the Friendship Engine, of
Reading, to visit the city and partake of the
hospitalities of the Mechanic Steam-Fire En
gine Company. It would be premature to tell
tile Friendship boys of the good things in store
for them, but what with the doings of the
members of the Mechanic and the grand ar
rangements made by the ladies in the neigh
borhood, they may expect " a good time," and
that means a great deal with the Mechanic.
THE FAIR.—The fair at the Assembly
Buildings for the benefit of the Sabbath-
Scheel of the North Baptist Church continues.
Last evening the contest for the fire-horn con
tinued. The following was the vote as it stood
at nine o'clock: South Penn Hose, 166; Co

Jeffries, 2 ; Rev. Thos. C. Trotter, 25 Mr. J. T.
Bonney, 2,
On Saturday evening the fair will close,
when the result of the contest will be an
nounced.
VIGILANT STEAM ENGINE COMPANY (No.
6) OF PITTRBITRO.—This company will start for
our city on Saturday night, at 9 o'clock, and
arrive here on Sunday morning. Sixty-eight
men, fully equipped, exclusive of the Chicago
Light-Guard Band, twenty-one strong, ac
company the engine. The dress oftheVigilant
consisting , of black pants and overcoat, red
shirt, black silk neck handkerchief, and white
fire hats, with white frontispiece, red figure
and letters, is appropriate and neat. The
steamer has teen put in thorough repair, and
Will doubtless attract much attention.
N - Rour I - ORM—Saturilay afternoon at 4 &clock,
the Franklin Engine Company N'o. 3, of Brook
lyn, N. Y. will start from that city for... Phil
adelphia for the purpose of participating in
the firemen's parade. The engine of this com
pany decorated oroughly overhaulen, re
paired, and everything d0m,3 0 •
make it present, as it doubtless will, a fine -
pearance. About fut 7 men will accomfa4,
the Franklin on its trip.
SERIOUS ACCIDERTS.—Ann. Cannon, 42
years of age, who lives in Northampton court,
near Dilwyn and Callowhill streets, was
working about her house last evening when
she was seized with a fit, and fell against the
stove. In so doing
_she upset a large kettle
full of boiling water upon her, and =was se
riously scalded.
Benjamin Fillon, twenty-five years old, while
attempting to jump from a train of cars at
Twenty-filth street and Pennsylvania avenue,
last evening, fell, and the wheels passed over
his lat leg, cutting it off below the knee. The
right leg was alSo considerably lacerated. -
Both of the sufferers were taken to the
hospital.
ATTRACTIVE PLACES. One or two
neighborhoods that we perambulated yester
qay semen to be appropriated almost exclu
sively to displays of firemen's horns, wreaths,
arches, festoons of artificial flowers, with gold
or silver leaves and lace. The spectator might
easily suppose for the time that he or she had
been spirited away to such lAaces as may be

STATEMENT OF Man , . ii. A. REID, OF BEAVER
DAN, WiseoNsia, , -I have long been an enthu ,
siast, if not an expert, among the sewing ma
chines. My wife is also practically familiar
and experienced with the leading machines. I
have made critical examinations and severe
tests, particularly investigating all mechani
cal points, principle, character of stitch, and gene
ral practicability of twelve different machines
claiming to be "first-class," and I am entirely
satisfied that the " Wiilcox dl Gibbs" is so far
above all others in practical worth, that it is
u•ifiwut u rival. The complication of delicate
machinery, so common in other maeliinery,
seems to be wholly eliminated in the Willcox &
Gibbs, and it will live to see other "first-class"
machines forgotten. Mrs. Reid says it is est , -
eciviy the best beyond comparison. The rotating
hook, as applied to the Willcox Gibbs Ma
chine, is the beauty and perfection of simpli
city itself, and I have nothing more to expect
or ask.
