One of the most interesting of these letters came from a .'"is. Kimball, of Philadelphia, accompanied by a IKbel battle flag. The following is a copy of the letter: lion. Mi’- Hi !i •' Dr.Att Silt: I forward to you the flag captured by the soldiers Of the Un* i ;ii whan they took possession of the ( ;l pi>a! of your State. It was given to me as a token of gratitude for kindness .•'.own to the sick and wounded while in Savannah, and sent to me by the boat in the return from up the river where she landed the troops. It gives me pleasure to return it to a worthy son of (ieorirm, with the hope that the past may be forgotten. p fail to appreciate a brave man. The noble sentiments expressed by you in y.'.ur speech in reply to Mr. Blaine, prove you tuch. Mr. Blaine is from Main o', my native State, and I have al ways aduiued him, but f. feel teat he l,n* made a mistake this time. May God bless yon, and give you wisdom and thought to continue in the way you have •started, thus bringing about an era of good feeling and prosperity to our troub led land. Your speech, the Gist from the South since its restoration to power in Con’ gress, is worthy of her. May ouv united strength cause our ‘•Fathers House” to become the light of the civilized world.

Mr. Ilill replied to the above in a manner characteristic of the man, ard -then presented the flag to the Young Men’s Library Association of Atlanta.

One hundred years ago our moth* or.s did not worry over disordered sew ing machines. One hundred years ago there were no disputes al out the impoliteness of street car drivers. One hundred years ago peopdo did not worry about rapid transit and cheap transportation, but threw their grain across the backs of their horses and un*■ c*'feplain ingly "went to m 11.” One hundred years ago every man rut hi? cot according to his cloth, every man was estimated at his real value, fh 'd.ly was net known, nobody had s'ruek " iie,” ad true merit and honest w .r'h were the only grounds for promo tion.

Oil City Feb. 23.—One of those ter- j rible accidents, caused by uitro-gyleerine • which arc so common to (he til region, ! occurred at St. Petcrsburge, near this city, to-day. About a hundred rods j from St. Petersburge was a small iron ! safe, in which nitroglycerine was s or- I cl. Safes are lequired in which to lock | ! this article, breause of the depredations 'of the “ moonlight torpedoLts,” who I arc not .satisfied with stealing the toroe> dees, but also make raids cm the maga zine whenever they can get' into them. As it i 3 very dangerous to have a great quantity of the stuff stored in a single place these safes are scattered about the country near all the villages. The safe at St Petersburge contained about one hundred pounds of nitro-glycerine,— James Barnun. left the village in tin, afternoon f..r the safe, with the inleti-* tion of procuring some of the stuff for use in a torpedo. A lew moments after his departure a terrible explosion was heard. The houses in the village were shaken as though by a passing earth quake, nearly evey pane of glass was shattered, glassware and crockery were thrown down, while the people fled wil ’■ ly into the street. A cloud of dust ri sing in the direction of the magazine proclaimed at once the cause. A number ofthe villagers at once ran to the scene of disaster. The iron safe had been blown to pieces. The man was no where to be seen On thegmond lay bis two horses terrible mangled, and both dead. His wagon was blown to many pciccs, A large hole, four or five feet deep and eight feet across, showed where, the intro glycerine had stood —• Search was made for tiie remains of the missing man After two hours diligent search, pieces of bones and flesh suta ciont to fill a small cigar box were found. Village s are scouring the w -ods in ail directions in search of fragments of the body. The wife ofthe poor man was a short distance from the place when the exp 1 O'sioit cccured. it is a curious fact that nearly ten minutes after the explosion the displaces air rushed swiftly in : o the vacuum to ward the centre, the different cur routs meeting with great force at the central P'd'it. Another curious result of the shock is the meg-eased production of an oil well situated only a few rods iron) the magazine. .Since the expiesion tie oilpias Alov n nearly double the amount it did before. The safe, in which about only 125 pounds ofthe explosive was stored, was situated on the hill-siue, sloping fV an the town, else the shock might have been far greater and the damage done much more extensive. 33oa*e lanpcaelisaen4, Jackson Miss., Feb. 25—The Hou -e oflicpivse.nt.it ves to-day adopt*, ed a resolution, by a vote of 8;J to iff. mpouchment Gov.

WITH ATTACHMENTS For All Kinds of JFoiI, is f st winning favor in the household, v< shown by the rapidly increasing sales. This New Family Machine is cu - bic of a range and variety of wo, k siidA. was once thought impossible to perform machinery We claim and can show tliat it is the cheape t, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated, ami smoothly running of all the famiF sewing machines. it is remarkable. Ut only fo the range and variety of its sew ing- but also for the variety and different kinds of texture whicn it will sew with equal fucility and perfection, using silk twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or course, making the inter elastic lock stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn v u -great strength and uniformity oi stitch, and, in a moment, this willing and never wearying inst ument may be adjusted for fine wot k on gauze or gossamer tissue, or the tucking of tailatan, or ruffling, t r al most any other work which delicate fingers have been known to perform. Ours having long been t he popular and practical machines for manufacturing pur poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks el trade," take advantage of this in trying to persuade purchasers that our Family A . chine is not equal, for family sewing to o : Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes.
