From q Greasy Mechanic to Millionaire.
Dubuque Times.
Mr.. w. r. Clark, of the Singer Man
ufacturing Company, of this city, has
kindly furnished us with the following
particulars concerning the late great
sewing machine king, Mr.. I. M. Singer:
To-day's dispatches announce the
death of Isaac Merritt Singer, who died
in London, England, on the oath inst.
The announcement of Mr.. Singers
death will cast gloom over the Is, 900
sewing machine agencies bearing his
name throughout the civilized world.
Mr.. Singer can be justly called the in
ventor and father of the sewing ma
chine, especially the Singer. The first
practical sewing machine given to the
world was invented and built by him.
His early life was devoted to the stage,
with considerable success. At the ageof
20 years, he was apprenticed to a ma
chinest in Auburn, New York, where he
exhibited such remarkable tact for the
business that in one year he took the
position of foreman in the establish
ment. While thus engaged he accumu-
lated a little money, which was soon
spent in visionary pursuits; but hiS in
ventive genius seemed to predominant.
Among his early inventions may be
mentioned his wooden type, his wood
carving machine, and last, but not least,
his sewing machine-woman's boon
companion. Beginning in New York
city in 1916, he struggled along against
all the diversities that could be heaped
upon man-no money-nO one to be
found that had confidence enough in
the manufacture of sewing machine to
invest a dollar. The writer we'll
remembers the first time he met
Mr.. Singer. It was in New
York city in 1851. in a
building situated on Hague street, in
the fifth story, in small room, where
be had been attracted by notice on tho
door that small amount of machinery
could be rented, together with all the
steam power necessary to drive it. A
few tools comprised his outfit. Here I
found him at work on what is yet known
as No. 3 Singer machine, dirty and
greasy, first at the forge, then at the an
vii, then at the vice, whistling and sing
ing, seemingly unconcerned about his
future prospects, little dreaming that
he would ever be at the head of the larg-
est sewing machine mandatory in the
civilized world. In 1862 occurred the
Hague street explosion, one of the most
disastrous calamities that eTer befel the
city, over 40 persons being mangled and
burned to death. By this misfortune
MIR. Singer was entirely broken up, his

External Par asites on Animals.

The following very sensible article is
from the London Agricultural Gazette
OF all the external parasites, the scat
insect produces the most terrible raw
ages; but there are several others of ar
inferior order, In point of power of an.
noyance, which ere nevertheless very
detrimental to the well-being of those
animals which have to play the unfor.
tunate part of host to them.
Ticks, Tags and lice are common
names for three forms of parasite pests,
which are well known to the shepherd
and herdsman. Ticks-that is, the true
tick Gxodes racinus), and the common
tick or fag (Melophagus ovinus), are
constantly found on sheep and lambs.
The former is true and Unsuitable
blood sucker, which buries its sucking
apparatus in the skin, and extracts an
amount of, vital fluid which sometimes
fatally exhausts the animal when large
number of the parasites are collected
together, and more especially if the sub
ject of attack is weakly animal.
Some time ago great mortality was
occasioned among lambs in Kent, from
the ravages of ticks. The season had
been particularly favorable to the de-
velopment of the young brood; and the
lambs, which were feeding in thickly-
wooded districts, soon became covered
with the parasites, whose united efforts
soon exhausted the system of blood, and
the animals died from hemorrhage.
On post norton examination, the It's
sues and organs were found to be com
pletely bloodless, and it was evident
that the lambs had been bled to death
by the parasites which had attached
themselves to the skin.
Trae ticks are distinguished By their
propensity to bury themselves partly in
the skin, from which they cannot be
detached. The fag, commonly called
the sheep tick, on the contrary, is
always found clinging to the wool, and
although the parasite wounds the skin
in its search for food, it does not COM
NIT so much injury as the true tick
does.
Lice infest all animals which are left
in neglected condition; but although
they cause considerable irritation. and
are very undesirable visitors, it cannot
be said that they do any serious mis-
chief. It IS true that animals infested
by these parasites are usually in an
emaciated state; but the debility from
which they suffer is not caused or ma
terially increased by the presence of
these parasites, which may be looked
upon rather as consequence of the
morbid condition of their host. Not
because dirt, according to the popular
belief, viii actually breed lice, but for
the reason that the creatures find in the

Why 'TWasn't a Good Likeness.

A certain lawyer had his portrait
taken in his favorite attitude, standing
with one hand in his pocket. His
friends and some of his clients went to
see it. Everybody said:
"Oh, how much it is like him. It is
the very picture of him p
One farmer, who happened to be
present, thought indifereutly.
'Tain't bit Like him.
'Tain't, eh?" said half dozen at
once; ''just show us wherein it is not a
capital likeness.
Wa'al, faint; no use talkin', I tell
you 'taint!'
Well, why? Can you tell us why it
amt good likeness?'

he has got his hand in his own pocket ?
'Twould be as good ag'in if he had it in

AhOuti q Monkey.
Unwritten Lives of the Dumb


I was making cake one day, pre-
pairing for company, and the monkey
followed me into the pantry and watch
ed everything I did. Unfortunately,
dinner was announced in the midst of
my work, and I left It, making him go
out, too, rather against his will. I
knew him too we'll to trust him in the
pantry alone. After dinner I returned
to my cookery. Having carefully
locked the door I was surprised to see
my pet there before. His attitude was
ominous; he was on the top of barrel
two-thirds full of -four, and busily oc-
cupied. He had got hold of my egg
box, broken two or three dozen, smash
ing them in the -four barrel, with all
the sugar within reach. These he was
vigorously beating into the -four, shells
and all, STOPPING now and then to take
a taste, with a countenance as grave as
a judges. In my dismay and grief I
did not scold him. Yet to see my mate
rails SO used up, and we living in the
country, and guests coming! He had
had most satisfied air, as if he meant,
"Look the main operations of the par
ty are now over" had forgotten the
broken pane of glass in the window.

Population of the World.

German statlstlclans have recently
brought out some interesting figures as
to the population of the world. These
new researches set down the population
of the present number at 1891, O3O. 900
total calculated to cultivate humility
in each separate unit of that mighty
number. Victoria sways her mild cep-
tire over 800, 900, 900. India has about
the same number. China less. South
America has wasted and worn away her
people by civil wars, and sons of her
states, notably Paraguay, show an
alarming falling off of 337, 900. Carry
ing forward the calculations to the fu-
ture, it is estimated that in the year
1000. only 125 years from this time, the
United States will have a population of
146, 100000. By that time the reser-
voir question will have been disposed
OF. The intervening period will have
been ridged by half a score of money
panics, in which our present unpleas-
antness will look like single furrow in
a plowed field. One feature of to-day
will assuredly follow humanity into that
future in all lands and countries

our city. The door was opened by the
clergyman, who, on inquiring what they
wanted, was informed by Michael that
he and Bridget came to be married.
