Sewing Machine Sales for 1871.
Occasionally whole covey or flock of facts
springs suddenly to the view of the public and
draws universal attention. AS very few sports
men ever enjoy the good fortune to fetch down
whole flock at shot. it rarely falls to the lot of
any business marksman to bring to the ground
great swarm of ''gamey'' realities. But occa-
siOnally there is business establishment which
uses long range gun that both spreads and con
centrateS in discharge. The Singer Manufac-
turing Company is one of these. sextraordInary.
Tcalfbres. To the point of illustration: The bird
in this case is the nger Sewing Machine; whole
number brought to market in 1871, ISL, ,26O being
in word ffty-t Thousand more than bag
ged by any other company. If therefore, the
number of sales be any criterion of the merits of
the different machines it cannot be denied that
the Singer owing to the popularity of what is
known as their NEW FAMILY machine, far sur
passes all others, for the fact is shown by
returns of the companies, which returns are made
under the licenses granted them by the owners
of the sewing machine patent.-[The New York

A Veteran OfISI2.

Almost everybody in East Tennessee knows
the aged cosmopolitan, Uncle Tommy Mar
grave" but perhaps there are some who do not
know that in his youthful days he volunteered
in the American army and was taken prisoner
and retained until peace was made, having been
confined at Montreal and st. George, in the
Dominion. He neglected to report to the
proper officials, however, when he was released,
and hence by the regulations on account of the
omission is not on the pension rolls of the vet
erans of that war.
Our informant learned these facts from old
citizens of Kingston, Roane county, who point
ed cut the house in that village then used as a
recruiting Office, where Mr.. Margrave enlist
ed. We do not know whether any application
has ever been made for pension for this vet
eran or not, but certainly liberal construction
should be given the law, and if otherwise de-
serving an unintentionaI omission should not
debar any soldier from receiving the reward OF
his heroism.

Omen the Route.

Our attention has been called to the great
need of good turnpike road from SevierVllle
to Qualla Town, Webster, Waynesboro' and
other points in Western North Carolina. Dur
ing the war, when Gen. Thomas was in COM
mand of this department, he placed large
number of Indians at work and constructed a
splendid road from themountain regions, which
had hitherto been almost impossible, to point
within few miles of Sevierville.
Knoxville is the nearest wholesale market
but without turnpike roads it is impossible for
the North Carolina merchants to reach US The
trade from the merchants of that section IS Ger
tainly worth securing, and they are equally
anxious to come if they can get here Their
side of the mountains has the magnificent road
before alluded to, and if the people on this side
will do their part the merchants of that county
will aid them. It would certainly pay the
wholesale dealers of Knoxville to look into this
matter and assist in opening up hitherto IN
developed region. A country road Is now open
the entire distance, so that the only cost would
be in macadsmiZing it. and either with toll
gates or free it would pay for itself in short
time,

4 Picture of the Past.

Politics makes strange bed-fellows," " is
illustrated in the following picture drawn
by the New York Times, on reading that
Carl Schurz was soon to stump Indiana.
In 1860, he canvassed it with Colfax and
Morton. The Times says:
Now he will figure side by side with
Daniel w. Voorhees,, who then called him
"a foul-mouthed Dutch VIPER" with
Thos. A. Hendricks, who, i'll every speech
he made in the campaign, alluded to
Schurz as the Lying Dutchman ;" with
David Tarpie, who asserted that the pOr-
trait of Carl Schurz could be found in ev-
cry rogues' gallery in Europe;;n with Gra-
ham n. Fitch, who called him a fit rep
resentative of the revolutionary riffratf
thrown upon the shores of America :"
with J. J. Bingham, who likened him to
a "yelping cur barking at the heels of
Stephen A. Douglas" and with numerous
other prominent Democrats, who assailed
him at that time in the coarsest billings
