Richards & Hall have a supply of the cele
brated Livermore cheese, which is all that
need be said about it. It is toothsome, sweet
anil rich. We will not say that it is mighty
(uiitey) good, for it is free from “every
creeping tiling.”
The graves of the soldiers in the cemetery,
connected with the National Military Asylum
at Togus, were, yesterday appropriately dec
orated with flowers, the richest and rarest
products of the gardens in this city and the
asylum. The exercises were interesting and
impressive. We shall give a detailed account
of the exercises in Monday's paper.
The benefits of advertising arc demonstra- j
ted every day. A lady in this city lost a val
uable ring, advertised it in the Daily; her
sister saw the advertisement; it was impress
ed upon her mind, nnd in her dreams one
.night the place where the missing ring could
he found was plainly revealed to her; the
next day the ring w as found—in the house
of the owner, carefully laid away. No one
can correctly estimate the value of judicious
advertising.
Afternoon Service.
The Granite Church will he open for divine
worship every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
during the summer. At this service the seats
w ill be free, aw) the public generally are in- >
vited.
The editor of the Farmington Chronicle,
formerly n resident of Augusta, has been
spending a few days with his friends in this
city. In his correspondence with his paper,
he takes the following interesting view of
business prospects here :
“There is a prospect of early and vigorous
work by the Sprague's. The late freshet, as
most of our readers know, carried aw ay some
sixty feet of dam, clean to the river's bed.
and almost ruined the whole structure. At
One time it was feared that the business of ,
the city would greatly depreciate, on account
of the doubts that brooded, like ruinous spir
its, over the policy and wisdom of rebuilding
it. Hut the Sprague Company have too !
much at stake to abandon the undertaking, 1
and as the building of the dam is almost an :
absolute necessity, as bearing djrcetly upon
their future success, we think there is no !
foundation upon which to build the somewhat ;
general rumor that they contemplate running
their business in a small way, without it.
\Evcry thing points in the opposite direction.
All their movements show conclusively that
in their own way and time, the large invest
ment they have made here will prove re
munerative. It would be runious to them
selves, as well as the business prospects of
the city, should it be otherwise. Therefore,
let those envious ones, whose wisli is father
to the thought that Sprague isn’t going to do
much, and that Augusta is bound to die out
as the business centre of the Kennebec,
hold their peace.—In all trades an . profess
ions, we are told, business here 's good—
that is, it will compare favorably with any
other section of the State. Work on the new
railroad bridge is being carried forward en
ergetically, and when completed will give the
road a beautiful and substantial iron struc
ture, costing from $100.0<J0 to $150,000.
Tlu! improvements in the Post Office, intend
ed to make it a first class office in every re-,
•peetpfere being pushed forward, and will he
completed in a few weeks. The new High
School building is being touched with the fin
ishing strokes, and will be both an ornament
and credit to the city.”
■■Bed Dresses.
’ Yes, they are pretty, anil one doesn't look
stylish in a plain dress in these days of ruf
fles, lolds, plaits, puffs, and puckers. And
women of the nineteenth century had better
be out of the world than out of style ; but O
my country-women! how many of you have
any idea what headaehing, back-aching, soul
harrowing work it is to mukc a real stylish
suit? This spring I had an economical fit
and decided to make my own dresses. Ac- ]
cordingly I went “shopping." I found a
pretty grey—just what 1 wanted—but was
informed that it would require more yards
for the trimming than for the whole suit if
made plain, but. of course, I could not wear
a plain suit. I purchased the materials and
took them to the dressmaker’s, where I got a
“perfect fit.” But, ah me! 'twas nothing to ;
the fits I had before that suit was completed.
My courage was good at the commencement.
“When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be
wise,” especially if you gain wisdom as I did
mine, by experience.
The first day I went to work with a will.
I cut yards and yards of pretty alpacca into
bias strips. Cut until my eyes grew dim;
cut until my bund was blistered, and still I
cut and cut until 1 thought 1 had enough.
Then I cut a little more. I did feel a little
down-hearted when I reflected that all this
ruffling must be hemmed. But remembering
a copy I had so often written when n school
girl, “Patience and perseverance accomplish
much,” I took courage, and my needle and
went to seaming. That night I was tired,
but then I was not used to dressmaking; I
would soon have it done and then I'd look
very stylish—woman's highest ambition. The
next day I hemmed and hemmed until I had
broken all my needles and pricked my finger
until it bled freely, and yet the ruffles were
not half done. That night I did not care
quite so much about looking stylish. The next
day I sat in my ehamber with an old wrapper
on and was “not at home.” I sewed and
sewed until the ruffles were most hemmed and
my back most broken. At the close of a week
I had one ruffle on. My cousin Amelia, (how
happy are they who have no cousins) called.
I brought out my skirt for her to admire.
. Judge of my disappointment when that
stylish maiden exclaimed, “My dear, that
flounco is just the eighth of an inch too deep.”
With many a sigh and groun I ripped off that
flounce, cut it just the eighth of an inch nar
rower, gathered it, and sewed it on again.
Two long, weary weeks I toiled on that suit;
: when it was all completed and Imng away, I
' had no desire to look stylish, for. shall I tell
it? I was sick a bed. Oh, how my eyes did
ache and my temples throb! If for one min
ute “sleep came to my eyes, or slumber to
my eyelids,” such visions of bcrulflcd, bc
lluted, beflounecd dresses haunted my poor
I fevered brain as made me groan in spirit,
j The doctor, that necessary evil, was called,
i The wise Ksculapino looked grave, shook his
; head, and said, “Nelly you have overdone.”
; Overdone, indeed! I felt decidedly under]
i (lone. Had I been half baked I should never
have made myself siifk in such a foolish man
ner. Three weary weeks I suffered all the
i horrors of neuralgia. I know that is a very
' stylish complaint, and how can it be other
wise in these days of fashion and folly ? I he
! beauty of this disease is that it is always new.
, Not so my suit, for when I had so tar recov
I ereil as to discard wrappers, except for morn
ing wear, Cousin Amelia said the lirst time
she saw me arrayed in that suit, I had so
firmly believfd would look stylish, “M v dear,
your dress is quite pretty, but not the latest
style.” What a pity ! As soon as she had de
parted 1 took off that suit and hung it away
Then, and there, I, Nelly Nettle, made a sol
emn vow never to wear another ruffled suit.
That vow neuralgia will help me keep. Plain
suits forever! Neu.r Nettle.

IMPORTANT FACTS!
For the Public.
NEW EASTERN DEPOT
FOR THE WORLD RENOWNED
SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MAINE.
These Machines, by their fdmpleity, durability,
and the great range of work they execute,
have gained a reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the Sin<;kk M am fu ti k
! I\<» ( oMl'ANV has stimulated many other com
panies to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or
tMjtial the .Singer, but in every case they have sig
nallv tailed, as is plainly shown by the fact, that of
all the travelling agents—“runners or drummers”
.—of other rompaiiies. none have the assurance to
claim more than an equality with the .linger, even
! upon any special cla-s of work.
Th.-re are many sew ing machines, now offered to i
the public, that have their good points, and are of !
much assistance to the housew ife and the industri- !
! oils seamstress. Parties purchasing a sewing ma
chine of au//toil, liiul the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and
pleasing, that they arc* naturallv, but erroneously,
led to belle \ e that they hav-- the best, until the spell
! is broken by tin* introduction of the Singer of i>70
into a neighbor's family. w hi« b is sure, by tin* in
creased rapidity and ease with w hich it does even
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to a
; positive, although it maybe silent acknowledge
ment, of the painful truth that there are very many
I varieties of work that are easily executed upon the
, singer, bill that they must either be content to do
j w ithout, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri
fice. their curved-needled, frail-powered, linrelia
; bio-tensioned. low-»peeded or ravel-stitched ma
! chine for a Singer .Vetc Family Machine.
Various exprdients are resorted to, that the pub
I lie eye may be turned from the singer for the pur
pose of introducing inferior machine"—'viz, “The
I button-Hob* Dodge,” “The Over-Seaming,” “The
Do ii I tie-1.oi -k-K not-stitch,” “Kin stir M itch.” “Tw ist
ed Loop,” “>df. Adjusting Tensions,” •• High Finish
and beautifully Ornrmented,” “Strught Needle.”
•■Slitch-Alik»*-on-both->ides.” “Medals fp'iu Fan
“Vertical Feed bale”’ “Noi.-eless Running,” “si
lent Feed,” and l ist anti w or-t of all the low-priced
—“Family Shuttle Machine.-.”

the greatest 11 made of there special points, t* by

are patented, are left to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser when too late, that he has
“paid too dear for his whistle.*’ It should be re
membered that the singer Manufacturing < mn
pany has never made a poor Machine—-from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notice*’, or expend funds in “log-rolling”

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Washington, June 17.
Senate. The joint resolution for relief of
certain army officers commissioned while in
rebel prisons, providing for compensation
from date' of commission, was passed.
Mrs. Lincoln's pension hill was taken up
on motion of Mr. Sumner, against the ob
jection of Mr. Edmunds, and discussed with
out action until the expiration of the morning
hour.
Mr. Edmunds argued against the bill, con
tending that it would he an injustice to all
the women in the country, made widows by
the war, of whom over 213,000 are receiving
only $3f>0 a year.
The amendment to the appropriation bill
retaining the letter carrier system in cities of
less than 40,000 inhabitants was concurred j
in, and Mr. Kamsay moved as if lurther I
amendment, the House bill abolishing the
Franking privilege, and continuing the pre
sent provisions of the law for free transmis
sion of newspapers. Adopted.
The amendment to continue the privilege
to the Executive and Agricultural depart
ments. petitions to Congress, &t\, and that
the abolition should not go into effect until
January next, was rejected, and another pro
viding for a system of stamped envelopes for
the use of Congress, and the departments,
and making appropriations to defray the ex- j
pense, was referred to the IJoiH. on Appro
juiiunHis.
Mr. Sumner moved as an amendment, 11is
proposition to reduce the expense of carry
ing the mails, and providing for a one penny
postage, pending which the Senate went into
Kxecutivc session, and took a recess until
this evening.
House. The Virginia contested election
case of Whittlesey against McKensic. was de
cided in favor of the latter, the sitting mem
qer.
Mr. Cobb, from Com. on military affairs, by
unananitnous consent, reported a bill to equal
ize bounties of soldiers, allowing #8.83 to
non-commissioned officers, soldiers and musi
cians for each month's service between the
18th of April. 1801, and the 9th of May. 1801.
deducting the United States bounties already
paid.
The Clerk of the House was proceeding to
read the bill, when Mr. Holman interrupting
said there was no objection to the hill, which
thereupon was rwail three times and passed.
U nanimous consent having been asked for
some other. Mr. Hawes objected, remarking
that the House had just passed the bill which,
according to the statement of the Senate Fi
nance Committee, would take $190,0(89 out of
the treasury.
The Speaker remarked that he had asked
three times if there was any objection to the
bilL _ • I
Mr. Hawes disclaimed any intention of crit
icising the Chair. He had heard the Chair
ask if there was any objection but did not
know what the bill was. The hill had not
been read.
Mr. Cobb of X. C. asked Mr. Hawes whetli-1
er he objected to the bill itself or to the fact
that it took money out of the treasury.
Mr. Hawes replied that lie could tell better
whether he objected to the bill if he knew
what it was. He understood that the gentle
man (Cobh) tried to get the bill -in without
bis (Hawes) knowledge.
Mr Cobb admitted that he did so because |
he knew that he (Hawes) would object to it.
Mr. Logan of 111., explained that it was not
an additional bounty bill, and said that the j
man who stated it was so did not know any-:
thing about it, adding that the House had j
twice before passed the same bill.

the Architect of the Capitol to transfer to the
Lincoln Monument Association at Springfield,
111., the stone presented by the patriots of
Home to President Lincoln, and which is now

explore the public domain at llicir own ex
pense.

cisco harbor, to the Central Pacific Hailroad
Co., was debated by Mr Washburn of Wis., I
in opposition, and by Mr. Blair of Michigan ;
in favor, and it was rejected, 80 to 82.
Subsequently Mr. Wood of X. V. made a i
motion to reconsider, which was entered.

nounced as indefinitely postponed in this
morning's dispatches, was held at the rooms
of the Y. M. C. A., Auburn, commencing at
ten o’clock. The attendance was not large,
though some of the most earnest of the tem
perance men of the State were present. Hon.
Henry Tallman of Hath presided. The con
vention by a unanimous vote, placed in nom
ination as a candidate for Governor, Hon.
Sidney Perliam. The resolutions demand
thorough going temi>cranoe legislation, a
State police, and the continuance of the tem
perance party organization. A State Com.
was appointed and arrangements made for

{nations.
The Convention severely censures the mem
bers of the State Committee who caused no
tice to be sent out that the Convention was
indefinitely postponed, thus preventing a
larger attendance.
