He lay on a alounge in the parlor, feel

thing in the corner Of the room at
tracted his attention. Raising on his
elbow he gazed steadily at it. Rub
bing his eyes, he stared again, and, as
he stared, ,-his terror grew. Calling
his wife, he asked hoarsely:
aMirandy, what is that?"
"What is what, Likey?"

SEWING MACHINE SALESOF 1873

The table of Sewing Machine Sales for 1873
shows that cur sales last year amounted to
232 444 two hun ired and thirty two thou
sand, four hundred and forty-fourl Machines,
being large increase over the sales ofthe pre-
vious year t1ST2l
The table shows that our sales exceed those
of any other company, for the period named,
by the number of Il3, S54 Machines, or
nearly double those of any other Company.
II may be further stated that the sales of 1873,
as compared with those of 1872, show q relative
| ly larger Increase beyond the sales of other
makers, than of any other year
| For instance in 1872 we sold 1900 more Ma
chimes than any other Company, whereas, In
| 1873, the sales were
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1875-03-19
ll3,254 MACHINES IN EXCESS
OUR EHuGEuEsT COMPETITOR.

These figures arc all the more remarkable,
for the reason that the sales of the principal
Companies in 1873 are less than their sales in
1879: whereas, as has been shown, our sales
have largely increased.
The account of sales is from sworn returns
made to the owners of the Sewing Machine
Patents.
II viii hardly be denied, that the superiority
fthe SINGER MACHINES is fully demon
strated--at all events that their popularity in
the household is unauestionable.

A,CUmoUs SToRY.-When Napol-
con the Great, died at ST. Helena, an
English physician took charge Of
his teart, depositiug it in a silver
basin filled with water. Two tapers
burned near it, but the custodian felt
nervously anxious while watching it
through the night, and did not sleep.
In tho silence of midnight he heard q
rustling sound, then a plunge into
the water, and rebound on the floor
all occurring with the quickness of
thought He sprang from his bed TO
see an enormous rat dragging the
precious relic to his holel a moment
more and the heart which had been
too vast in it's ambition to be satisfied
with the sovereignty Of continental
Europe, would have been moro de-
graded than the dust Of imperial
Cesar.
