From the above figures 1t will be seen that our
rivals in trade are far behind u.s. that the popular
ity of what is known as our New Family Sewing
Machine is steadily and largely increasing. We
are not 80 vain as to suppose that these large
sales are due to superior bushes capacity so much
as to the merits of our machines, as well as the
observation of those who buy and use, and are
personally interested in comparing the merits of
the different machines before making a selection.
Few have denied, in fact it has been the habit OF
sewing machine dealers, till recently, to speak in
laudation of our manufacturing machines, but in
the same breath TO deny the merits of our ma.
chine for family sewing. 1t usual to say to q
lady locking for sewing machine, eli, madam,
you want a manufacturing machine, the Singer Is
the best,' as if made one kind of machine only
and had Family sewing machine at ALL though
our Neav Family was greatest triumph, ana
even then the favorite, ready and never weary
ing seamstress of many well regulated household
Our machine however, told its own story in the
great range and variety of excellent and beautiful
family sewing which is capable of doing, and the
sales show that its story not entirely dlsbe-
lieyed or we would not have sold last year one hun
dred and ttcenty-seven thousand, eight hundred and
thiTfv-thres machines being more than twice as
many machines as there words in the English

TIE DEATH-KNELL.

Then the Court House bell ppaled forth.
Clang, clang went the mammoth bell, Its
tones rising far above the din Of the streets,
the roar ofthe devastating demon, and the
bowling of the wind tornado. Peal alter
peal rent the air, striking terror to every
heart. for we then knew that all was lost
that Chicago, the proudest city otthe CONT
nent. was doomed to destruction. Louder
and louder rang the bell and faster and fas
ter sped the hell of fire. Men, women and
children rushed through the streets, frant-
ically endeavoring to save few OF tneir
nersonal effects from the deVourlpg ele-
ments. All was confusion and uproar and
flame. Every face was blanched with ter
ror as the rapacious monster leaped and
galloped forward, destroying with breath
the finest creations of human lngenuety
devourng at one fell swoop the strongest
and most durable granite walls, and toying
with hidous playfulness with buildings
that had been built expressly to resist MS
utmost power.
THE BURNING OF TIE COURT HOUSE.
From Farwell Hall the flames darted
over an entire block, communicating with
the doom of the Court House. Almost
Immediately 1t was a mass OF tire. Inc
flames leaped, and danced, and caroused
about, darting far into the heavens. The
| Imagination cannot conceive spectacle
more. grand. Words fail to express It's
sublimity, and, once seen, it can never be
forgotten. In ten minuts the entire struc-
ture, built in the most massive style,
presented the appearance of a mammoth
furnace, superheoted with the fires of hell
At seven minuets before two o'clock the
doom was seen to sway in the wind. 1t
rocked to and fro for few moments. and
then fell, dowd, down, three hundred feet
i into the heart of the building, with deaf
! ening crash that resounded all over The

The New Brunswickers and Nova Scotians are
fearGully disguised because the New Found
landers and Prince Edwards islanders won't
chip in with them in opposing the treaty OF
Washington. The former two great powers
sent delegation around, which returned to st.
John, N. b., on Thursday, fully prepared TO
give it up.
Old residents of Washington are mourning
the destruction of ancient landmarks in the
cutting down, a few days ago, of a number of
fine shade trees, south of the navy department,
to make way for the new state department
building. These trees were planted forty years
ago this very month, and the ancient messen-
ger in the navy department says that on the
day they were planted, Gen. jackson, who was
president, personally superintended the work,
making number of suggestions TO the garden
err as to their arrangement.
A conductor of Chicago street car, seeing a
man franticaly following him at the other end
of the street, and hearing him call out to be
waited for, stopped his car for several minutes,
thus exciting the murmurs of the passengers,
Finally the putting pedestrian climbed up the
rear platform, and, before the car had time to
start, the following dialogue ensued: Putting
pedestrian-Hot night, sir. Conductor-Not
very comfortable. p. p. (elevating his voice.
Has any gentleman on the car chew of tobac-
cor CONDUCTOR don't use it myself; may be
some other gentleman can accommodate you.
P. P-Never mind. | wont wait. Good night.
(EXit) The further conversation of the con-
ductor is not destined to be reproduced here; in
fact, nothing but daShes would do it. For an
instant everybody was inclined TO follow the
conductors example; but in moment the abb
surdity of the whole transaction flashed across
the minds OF the party, and the united howl of
laughter which rose up from that car must have
disturbed the slumbers of Capt Millers police
men for many block around.
