We wish to call the attention of our rea ders to three facts concerning THE IN TERNATIONAL CYCLOPEDIA: 1. It is the most seoaiTprehensive Cyclo pedia in the world. There is perhaps only one other that contains as many ti tles, and as that is 'condensed into three volumes, the value of its large au ruber of subjects is marred by the necessarily brief and unsatisfactorily manner in which they are treated. THE ' INTERNATIONAL in fifteen large, but not unweldly. Royal Octavo voUtuiss, ,can treat of its 50000 ti tles with a degree &f f&lihess sufficient to their importance It is the fillies'-, not only in number of titles, but in the rela tive amount of matter giveu each title. 2. It has the ad vantage of being Inter na tioual. Tho BiitaKaica is lamentably deficient in American maUer, and Apple ton's is silent on many foreign subjects of interest. In THE INTERNATIONAL the aiticlfcE on foreign men, places, histo ries, laws, etc., are written chiefly by for eigners of" distinction, while the articles pertaining to American interests have boon prepared almost entirely by Ameri can editors. This gives THE INTER NATIONAL a COMPLETENESS want ing in other Cyclopedias. 3. It is the cheapest Cyclopedia of its size in the world. - The Britanr ica in its cheapest form coets Sv.20. Applctou'.s iu Us cloth binding, cost $S5, which is more than we charge for THE INTERNA TIONAL in its finest Morocco Binding. There are many other points showing the superiority of THE INTERNATION AL over other woxk-a of rofereneoi We merely select -thesb thrfce, .urging them upon your consideration.

A pleasure party of fifteen persons from Swanfboro and Sanders -Store, left here last weok to nttend the Teachers Asscm bly at Morehead City, and to ev.joy the sSGck-ty and sight seeing there. Though it rained every. bit of the way down, we enjoyed ourselves eating somo no peach es listening to tae. constant pattering of tho rain on our -umbrellas and overcoats, and wore kept cool by the strong South--east galo that sent our sharpie ahrad at tho rate of ten milon or moro fer hour. It stopped just as we reached tho wharf at Morehead, which happily saved us the disagreeable job of ,laiIiK.g in the rain.

Oar lady readers can hardly fail to have their attention called this week ,to the latest combination of improvoEnenta m that most usoful of all domestic imple ments, the "Sewing machine." As we understand it, a machine for fam ily use should ioet first of all these re quirements : It should bo simple ia its mechanism; it should run easily; it should do a wide range of work ; it should bo m nearly noiseless as possible; it should bo light,' handsome, durable, find as oboap as is consistent with excellence throughout. These conditions tho "Light-Rnaniag New Home" certainly meets. It h also several very important and useful attach ments and "notion" of its own, which go Far to reake good its claims to popular favor. The "New Home" ' upeciaily rocora meade itself ta puwjiasers on account -ef its superior mecLanicial construction, ease of management and reasonable price. Over half a million have been sold in the last three years, all of which are giving universal satisfaction. This unrivalled machine is manufactured bv the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE CO., Orange, Mass., and 30 Union Square, New York. . OUR NEW YORK LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent New York, July 1st, 13S7. The majority of private dwellings on Murray Hill are closed and their occu pants away at some summer resort. The few remaining to enjoy the ncisy fourth will -scalper away like so many heep, into the mountains, to the seashore, any and everywhere to escape the heat of tho city during July and August New York ia not such a bad place as it w cooked up to be. It is a . question for a great many pecpie whether they would not bo more comfortable during tho summer in their" own houses with plenty of .elbow room, plenty of water and a comfortable bed to sltsep iu than to be '.cooped up in a small stuffy room hi some fashionable hotel w ith a quart of well water for their ablutions. It is fashion that drives peo ple away from the city. Fashion with iron hand rules them all. At her- bid thoy run to the country aud at her beck they roturu to the city again. No Now York ie tot a bad pbco during tho am mer. There are some hot and uncGrufof tabic nights to be sure but will some philanthropic person nama a summer resort' where the same difficulty' will not be en-; eouuterod. As for amusement, why New Yrork is just the place for that. Thftrc Is the Casino, one of the prettiest theatres in the city. The roof ef this little palase slides off, the windows are thrown oPcn and in tho warmest night it is as co J cs out of doors. And after tho1' performance there is the roof garden to be enjoyed. The orchestra cons oa L there alter the oper aud plays for an hour. ; This is an other cool spot to spend a summer even ing. And then for the business maairb cares Jo gt a U-oaih of the. sea breezes there is Coney Island, withiu an hour or less of his office. He cair leave hii busi ness late in the afternoon; have a tlca3r ant sail ts the Island, eat his dinner whilo Cilmorc's band plays, ham a stroll on the beach, a sea bath, see the fireworks and be h-ine ia hU 0" M1 i:l the city by eleven sUock.
