Again the earthly tie Is broken. Once more we ehed the farewell tear; Again the parting words are spoken To tbe one we love most dear.

The mass of cartilage just removed from the larynx of 1 mperor 1 rederick was, it is now ^earned, found wholly disconnected from the part of the throat upon which it grew and required no surgical operation Io enable the doctors to secure it. Its separation, as well as its appearance, is believed to indicate that nature is making a curative effort entirely inde pendent of the physicians which belief is strengthened by the fact that a similar voluntary e> nulsion is not known to the nhysicians in their experience and treatment of cancerous disea e.

There is every reason to believe that' there will be a heavy increase of foreign Immigration this year. In one day last week 2,262 Immigrants landed at Castle Garden, and the day following l . l s i foreigners put foot on American soil. United States consuls in several countries have notified the state department that then will be an increased immigration from those countries, so that if the average keeps at these figures 1SS8 will be a mem orable < ne in this report.

Between May last and January 1888, 2000 persons have died of smallpox In the city of Havana, and, further, during the same timrc 49,000 persons in other parts »t the island have died. Ci Included in the exports from New York city during the past week were 634 live cattle, 6,860 quarters of beef and thirty-one live sheep, as against 111 live cattle, 4,876 quarters of beef and 247 live sheep in tbe same week of 1887. The lovers of the clgarrette will need to bo a little cautious for a time. Word comes from Europe that 3,000,000 Turkish cigarrettes, ''out of condition," have been sold at about thirty cents a thousand, and are about to be shipped to New York. There are In America over 4,000,000 farms. They cover nearly 30,000,000 acres of Improved land, and their to'-al value Is something like $10,000,000. The estimated value of tbe yearly products of these farms is between $3,000,- 000,000 and $3,000,000,000. A Western exchange advises each farmer to have a map of the young orchard made, with the location of all the different varieties put down in black and white. Then If the labels get lost or tbe writing on them becomes illegible, one can refer to the man. Kerosene lamps turned down so as to burn low soon poisons the air of a room. This practice should never be allowed in a house, and certainly not In sleeping-rooms or sick-rooms. The New York board oNbealth gives special warning against the practice. The bean market continues remarkably Btrong In "Boston. Foreign grades are arriving pretty freely, and the trade operates In them to a-considerable extent, as the domestic article In many Instances is held altogether too high for free distribution. The New York Proilucc Exchange Saturday adopted resolutions declaring that the growth of adulteration of food products threaten to injure the character and commercial prosperity of the United States, and urging national legislation to prevent such adulteration. Seventy head of the finest California mules were shipped last week to Australia by way of Hong Kong. The animals average sixteen hands high and 1,25*-pounds weight They are to be used In railroad work at Port Darwin, as muleR have been found to endure the climate better than horses. Larsrc numbers of the Angora goats of Nevada are being sent to San Francisco for conversion into "mutton." So long as their wool brought seventy cents per pound, it paid to raise them, but now that It has fallen to twenty-eight cents, It is more profitable to sell them for the shambles. Though congress has been in session scarcely twelve weeks, It is said that upwards of 10,000 bills of one kind and another have been introduced ior its consideration, a number whic'.i exceeds by BOmc thirty per cent, any previous record for a corresponding period si'ee the adoption of the United States Constitution. . The New York Commercial Bulletin says the first arrivals of new, fresh maple sugar are anxiously awaited. There Is active Inquiry, and first sales will probably be made at very high, figures. Considerable stock remade from old syrup is in that market,but no strictly new Ohio or Vermont su?ar had been noticed as yet. In a recent letter to a prominent potato dealer in New York, a Dundee potato shipper says that at the present rate of speed with which the Dundee stock is leaving for America, there will only be enough stock left for a month's supply. When this supply in Dundee and vicinity is exhausted, It will be necessary to bring forward the stock further inland, which Is claimed to be large. Mr. Chaplin, British minister of agriculture, in a recent speech says that many thousands of acres of land have gone out of cultivation in England, and there has been a concurrent decrease In cattle and sheep Reliable estimates, he says, show that 700,000 persons were idle, owing to the paralysis of agriculture, while those who were employed were found to work at greatly reduced wages. The arrivals of fishing vessels at Gloucester the past week numbered forty-tuvo, bringing 427,000 pounds of cod, 235,000 pounds of halibut, 1,7000,000 frozen herring, 28,000 pounds of haddock and 8,000 pounds of pollock. There is a large fleet of vessels fitting out for the western bank, and In another week most of the fleet will be under way. Late reodpts of fish at Boston have hardly been equal to the demand, According to a magazine writer, a successful Canadian farmer gets about $300 a year.

This precludes the return of an v Chinese laborers who are not now iu this country, unless the * lilnese laborer has a lawful wife, child or parent in the I'nited > tales or property therein of the value of $1,000, or debts of like amount duo him and pending settlement.

The treaty does not demand tho enactment or enforcement of law- discriminating in favor of Chinese subjects in the ( nited S t a t e s nor does it entitle them to greater or other protection than is accorded to citi ens of the most favored nation. But th.* fact remains that they have suffered irievously in person and property, and while the liability of the United States is wholly inadmissible, yet it is competent for this government in humane consideration of those occurrences so discreditable to the community in which they have taken place, and outside of the punitive powers of the national government, to make voluntary and generous provision for those who have been innocent victims of the lawless violence within our borders.

A friend had pointed a revolver at hlra. ••He didn't know It was loaded!" We often hear It stated that a man Is not responsible for what he does not know. The law }jre-supposes knowledge and therefore convicts the man who excuses crime by Ignorance! "If I had only known" has often been an unfortunate man's apology tor some evil unknowingly wrought, but in a matter i;f general interest—as tor instance that laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is u deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged with a winter's accumulations of the waste of the system,—it is one's duty to know the fact and the consequences thereof. Our good old grandmother's knew for instance, that the opening of spring was the most perilous period of the year. W h y . Uecause then the blood stream is sluggish and chilled by the cold weather, and if not thinned a good deal and made to flow quickly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossible to have good vigor the rest of the year. Hence, without exception, wlmt is now known as Warner's Log Cabin .'arsiiparilla, was plentifully made and religiously given to every member of the faini ly regularly through March, April, May and June. It is a matter of record that this prudential preventive and restorative custom saved many a lit of sickness, prolonged life and happiness to a vigorous old age, and did away with heavy medical expenditures. Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, Ky., used Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla "for nervous sick headache of which ( had been a sufferer tor years. It has been a great benefit to me." Capt. Hugh Harkins, 11H S. l ' t h St, Philadelphia, I'a., says "it purified my blood and removed the blotches irom my skin." Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton, Berks Co., Pa., says she "was entirely cured of a skin disease of the worst kind," by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Pad skin indicates a very bad condition of the blood. If you would live and be well, goto your druggist to-day and get Warner's Jog Cabin Sarasparilla and take no other, —there's nothing like it or as irood,— and completely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots and herbs. Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is a guarantee of excellence all over the known world. Take it yourself and give it to tjl'e other members of the family, including the children. You will be astonished at its health-giving and life-i rolonging powers.

In a moderate Scale of easy digestion I placed beef, rahit, dJKK, youn^ pitfon, wild waterf6w^, woodcock, snipe, soup*, ea«s not ba¥u<ldin^s,.jelly, marmalade, rhubarb plant, cooked fruits, COCOA, collet port' fcr. Those very hard to digest 1 discovered to be: Clams, porky roast veal, goose, liver, heart, brain, salt meat, sausages, hashes, mackerel, eels, salmon, herrings, halibut^ salt fish, lobster, crabs, shrimps, bnusyels, oil, melttd butter, hard-boild egj»s, cheese, fresh bread, ninthns, buttered toast, pastry, cakes, custards, nuts, pears, plums, cherries, pineapples, cucum Ders, carrots, parsnips, peas, beans, mushrooms, picklea, chocolate, and champagne. "Persons in grod.soUnd health, who ba--e splendid digestion, of course can partake of any of the food mentioned without dancer, provided they do not gorge. It requires frequently a great deal of strength to dispose of the gour* ihand's'meal, and the food he has eat' en acts as a slow poison, draining hia vitality. .Everybody who has good health constitutes herself or himself a lecturer and authority upon the subject. I notice many recommend fre* quent rub-downs and baths. To bathe and rub the skin dry is healthful after exercise, but too much of it does more harm than pood. There is a limit to all .things. Too much ex* etvise is injurious, and having hnt muscles does not indicate a vigorous, healthy circulation. Lbngwalke tak» en at a slow pace do no good whatev er. Walking exercise should be brisk enough to start a general prespiration, and then great benefit is derived There is no specific rule to become healthy and strong save one—plenty Of open air exercise, temperance, wholesome food, surticient sleep,oleanli;.\ esa, and a tooO conscience. «. » » ... — l-LAiN I;Y,-; liuKAn,—Make asponre as for wheat bread, let rise, mix in rye flour to make a stiff dough, mould in loaves, put iugreased pans, when light bake. f i t * YORK tfcNEMtTtlfc Art on the Pacific Coaal "Ahem," said Jud'-e Lawler. as be mt » Iteitortar** T o w with • Haaltia Inapaetor. la quietly going forward is New York during these torrid summer day* says Tht Commercial Advertinr, a work W the utmost importance, aot only to those who are directly benefited but tO every inhabitant of Manhattan island. It is the work of a corps of fcitjr physicians, appointed by the board Hi health to inspect tenement houses. By them every tenement in the city is \mAag visited. To the wretched poor, Imddlad together in airless, dim rooms la the most crowed parte of this city, ihay carry comfort and relief. They •peak to them words of kindness, prescribe for the sick, explain the rudimentary hygienic principles, and furbish wearied mothers and their baby offspring with the means of enjoying an ocean ride, or possibly several days Of rest and change at some seaside sanitarium. Should the physicians find any of the houses which they inspeot in snob a condition as to be detrimental tO the health of its occupants, the case is reported, and the landlord is at once notified that the tenement must be repaired or vacated. The labors of these Inspectors are not only a charity, but a safeguard against the breeding end Sreading of contagious diseases, for if origin of infeotious maladies can almost invariably be traced to the squalid tenement-house districts. N a 111 Mulberry street may be taken as a sample of the typical tenementhouse. It is really two houses, placed one behind the other, and separated by an open space or court This court is pared witn flags tones and is frequented at all hours of the day by the tenants of both bouses. Here the women do their washing and gossip. Tubs and dirty water lying in pools are its chief character sties. Above are stretched miles of clothesline, forming a network which would do credit to a metropolitan telegraph oompanv. These lines are fastended to the railing's and bars of rusty iron balconies, which serve as a receptacle for every conceivable variety of household goods. Each tenementfront and rear—contains five stor es. Each story furnishes accommodations for four families. Each suite of apartments consists of three rooms. Two of these rooms are dark and are not provided with any direct means of ventilation. The third, which is used as kitchen, dining-room, living-room and often as bedroom besides, is usually provided with two windows and on an average twelve or fourteen feet square. The small, dark, poorly-ventilated suites are inhabited by fainil es numbering from six up. Thus each tenement is made to shelter some th rtv or forty families, or more than two hundred persona The halls are dark and dirty. The stairs are rickety and the railings insecure. The tenants, for the most part, bronaed-faced Italians, lent a certain pieturesqtteness to the scene in spite of the surroundings. They stared at the doctor at first, but when he explained Lis mission took no further not ce of him, except possibly two or three who followed him from door to door. He was treated with courtesv and respect. Chairs were frequently pushed toward him* When a child was .sick the mother placed 11 in his hands without reluctance, and thanked him with her eyes, if not with her 1 ps, for his help. As would be surmised, the rooms were filthy and crowded. The space in each of tne two dark apartments was almost entirely occupied by one, two or three beds, as the case might be, Which stood some five feet from the floor, supported by wooden horses, such as are used by carpenter*. The stoves were rusty, and seemed in immediate danger of fall ng to pieces. The furniture W:H broKen. The odor Was offensive.

Ann Arbor R e n t e r : While George Taylor wasanpaged in breaking a colt, on his larm in Lima, about two miles southeast of Chelsea, last Monday, he met with a serious accident from which recovery now seems doubttul. The colt, with another horse, was attached to a lumber wauo'n, and, iu the struggle which ensued, Mr, Taylor was thrown to the, ground beneath one ol the wheels, and so crushed that several of his ritts were broken and his lungs so ruptured that air escapes into the cavity of the diest, puffing the skin in various place*. Mr, Taylor is fifty years of a^e, which makes the case the more critical. The April number of Tin: Cosmopolitan (published April 7th) will '•strongly -srNtaiu the standing of that "bright young magazine tor tiie timeliness of il> subj<;cls and the crispness ot its varied euiiie.nts. The leading article is a dtilicated description, by the poet-critic (Jeorge Edgar Montgomery, of fc5iiakesp«ar's "Mid-summer Nights Dream," as produced at Daly's Theatre, copiously illustrated by portraits in character, and many of the exquisite tsctmces. (printed iu color), which have made this play a conspicuous event in the dramatic season just closing in New York. Other timely articles are Muncure 1). Conway's "ItenMniscences ot Kaiser W \\helm"'{wit h illustrations) drawn from his frequent contact with the Emperor during the Franco-German war, when he was Murat Halsteap's comrade as special war-correspondent ; and Lucy C.

Lreck Perkins, and EP. Hoe with his Southern serial story, ''Miss •Lou/1 making all together an exceedingly attractive number. We teel proud in stating to our many readers that we have one of the best kept county houses in the State, as the f"llowing will show: Marion Cor. to Living-ton Democrat: The county poor firm is located in this 'i>w!i-.lim and consists of about two la^-d l".• 11 acres o od average farming land.

Mr. iialloway i-eoe'i.ve 1 us with a hearty welcome, as did Ins excellent wife, having chosen.. the noon hour, hoping to see how we .should approved of joining his family in case of need. We had an opportunity ot seeing the county poor eat a good, hearty dinner. The meal was s'ttHciently substantial for a woodsman to work upon. Twenty did justice to the dinner and appeared well satistied with the bill of fare. Mr. G. kindly Showed me into his apartments, the reception room and his office. In the office he exhibited the record book, which shows the advent and exit of each recipient, of the. county chanty: also their residence before said a i\ f-nt "ami theirbirthphrr^H-'Vgeiher with the cause of their imuccility;.aiid the name of the otlicer who gave t!u: permit that admitted th" ward to thcco.uuty home.

Mr. and Mrs. Galloway consider thete exercises conductive to good deportment, aside from the great moral or Christian influence. Elder Wilson of the M, E. Church also calls as occasion presents, and narrates the story of the cross in has simple, plain aod easy way. Toese two epochs are looked forward to with much anticipations and genuine joy, especially the former. After partaking of refreshments with "mine host" we w«re shown the stock upon the farm. The same thrift was apparent at the barns as in the home. 'I he cattle would be an ornament to any farm, and wuuld sc^re 100 percent. The sheep also looked nice, fully up to the 100 per cent. Hogs the same. Horses, although much in the harness, looked able to grapple with a summer's work. Hay and grain were in abundance for the requirements ot the farm, which is not .the case on every Livingston county farm this season. There are twenty-two inmates at this time, March 24th, 1888. Two from Hartland, three from Howell, two from Iosco, two from Green Oak, three from Unadilla, one from Marion, one from Handy, one from Conway, five from Brighton, one from Genoa, and one from Oeeola Thirteen of these are American, three English, three Irish and three German. There is one child, a boy of seven or eight years ok age, and weak minded; cne old lady, sick from fall, which occurred about three weeks ago, and was the cause of a fractured hip. One male inmate had taken a severe cold, and was threatened with pneumonia; therefore, only 20 people did good work at the dinner table. I am not going to advise people to pull up at the borne; but I will testify that Livingston County's poor house is the pleasantest home for our unfortunate brethe,;un my eyes have ever beheld either in America or Europe. It is an honor to the county, the overseer and the superintendents. NORTH LAKE. From Our Correspondent (Omited last week.) •CD. Johnson is out again after a prolonged hickness.

T h e funeral procession started from ^be late residence of the chief justice at 11.15 o'clock, and proceeded directly to the eaat front of the capitol, entering the building through the rotunda, where it was met by a joint committee of both- houses and escorted to the hall of the hou^e of representatives. Accommodations for about 1,000 people had been provided on the floor of the house, and for 1,500 in the galleries. T h e house, like all other portions of the capitol, was festooned and draped with black and a church rtioir mid organ were stationed in one of the galleries. Besides members of the house, there were present the *eu*M>£it the diplomatic corps, t h e president and cabinet, the court of claims ju4gi$*|. the bar association committers, CtaL Sheridan and staff, and A d m i r t l P i t * ter Mrs. Cleveland and the wlvt* /C$ cabinet memtx'rs were In the e x e c a t I N gallery. Bishop Paret read the Kpiseppsd burial service, as the remains, escorte I by the judges of the supremo court In their robes, were brought in. The casket was covered with palms and fiowe s. There were pre ent also the son and daughter of th • ! ate chief justice, C. C. Walte and Miss Mary Waite. These were in turn followed by the intimate friends of the decea-ed, the women of the supreme court and others who were shown to a p - pointed seats, while the choir from t h e gallery chanted the remaining seuteuces of the burial service. While the entire assemblage remained standing Bishop Faret recited the apostles' creed and the choir sang the hymn "Abide with m e . " With bowed heads the a semblage then listened to the selections from the litany and prayers, in which t h e bishop led and the clergy responded. T o the ordinary service were added the prayers of the church for the president and congress. From the capitol the funeral cortege proceeded directly down Pennsylvania avenue to the Baltimore A: Potom c railroad station, about half a mile distant. As t h e hearse and carriages passed Prof. Wlddows began a dirge on the chime bells of the metropolitan M. K. church, and continued it till the procession stopped at the entrance to the railroad station, The carriages containing the president and the cabinet went directly on to the White house and the departments. The special train hearing the remains of Chief dustlce Waite reached Toledo about 10 o'clock on the morning of March 'il>. The casket containing the body was at once taken to the residence of the lion. Klchard \\'alte. a brother of the deceased, where it was deposited tn order that Mrs. Waite and the other members of the family might obtain a private view. Upon the casket lay the beautiful wreath from l i e ident and Mrs. Cleveland and two pairs of creased palms, cro-sed and fastened together with white satin ribbons. The room was filled with a large number of beautiful tioral tributes fioiii many local friends of the deceased. A handsometribute was from the Chinese legation in Washington and was one of the most beautiful in the large number. After the casket was placed in the parlor, the pall-bearers, cadets and all others retired and the doo-s were (dosed a n d guarded by Mesus. Brook and Henry, t w o servants of the late chief justice. The remains were privately viewed by Mrs. W aite and other members of the family, and at la.'.'O were .removed to the guild rooiii^ 1 f Trinity church. The < a-ket was carried by a select squad of the Toledo cadets, and they and the pall-hearers made up the slmpl • procession to the guild rooms, where ilm body was to iie in state. The casket was placed on a catafal ^ e draped in black, In the centor of a large hall, and shortly after one 0 clock the lid was removed and the face of the dead expo- ed to view. r J or two hOurs an enormous throng surged through the rooms to ga 0 i.pon the face of the distingui-hed dead, and the cas ,ct was then removed to the chancel of the church adjoining. The doors of the church were then opened, the disi nguished guests entered the churchin a body and were seated on either side of the main isle as follows: The j : dges ( f the supreme court of the I'nited {States, the supreme court marshals, the eonio ittee froji the I'nited Stales senate, the committee from the I nited states house of representatives, the federal judges of the I'nited States, cov.

E. CHAPTER III. The next day Margaret was introduced to her pupil, a pretty, llaxeuhaired, blue-eyed thing, like and yet unlike her cold, haughty mother, of whom she evidently stood in great awe; and after breakfasting with her in the school-room proceeded to try and instruct her in some simple things. J?he found her utterly untaught and restless, and soon* desisted, and let her show her the " l i o n s " of Harlowe Hall the long dim corridors, the noble rooms, with their dadoes, and floors of polished wood, quaint Queen Anne furniture, and rich hangings, the splendid stained-glass mullioned windows, through which the sunlight streai ed in floods of purple and crimson, and last,, though not least, the picture-gallery, where Harlowes and Norburys looked down from the wall in all manner of colors, some with dark frowns on their pictured faces, others smilingly. The child pointed out several nota bles, and then stopped before the portrait of aj( ung man in an old fashioned coat and high stock, an I observed: " T h a t is Uncle B e n . " Miss Crowe studied tho handsome keen face for a few moments, and then her eyes fell on a minr ature beside it, and with a start and a sudden fading of the faint bloom on her cheeks, she asked: ' Who - who - i s t h a t ? " "Cousin Jack,1 replied tho child, looking fondly at the handsome faee, with its sunny gray eves and clustering chestnut curl's. " J a c k who?" asked the governess. J ' N o r b u r y . " -'•'What is he to—your uncle. "Nephew. He is Uncle Gerard's son,1 ' explained Dorothy glibly, "and m a m m a sa\ s Uncle Ben will leave him all his pret'y things, and all his money, if ho marries the lady ho wants him to." "And who is t h a t ? " queried Margaret faintly. "Miss l.angdon. You'll see her soon. Site's coining to stay in a week or two, and she's so pretty. **'• .:t " s she?" said ^ I irtga ret slowly; adding suddenly: "WcWuln't you like to go olit now, and pick violets in the wood you were telling me about?" "Oh yes, 1 should.'' laughed the child gleefully chipping her hands. And together they went out into tho lanes and fields, where-, the young grasses were springing, and the early flowers bloomino-. But MissTYewe"was strangely silent and self-absorbed, and Dorothy began to think she would not much like her new governess. She seemed so dull, without a particle of fun or playfulness about her. for all that she had golden hair and great big bluo eyes, like the lovely model doll Uncle Ben gave her the Christmas before. That evening she dined with Mrs. Morton at seven, and procisely at eighl a dark clean shaved man in plain clothes came to the dining room door and announced that Mr. Norbury wished Miss Crewe to go to his room, and with a little inward trembling Margaret ro>*e and followed the man up the oak stair case, traversed a gallery down which she had not yet been, not even during the tour of inspection with her little pupil, down a short corridor, and then t h e man stopped and knocked at a green bai/e door that had the appearance of being arranged to exclude sound! "Come in," sounding rather muffled and far asvav, answered the knock, and as the attendant threw open tho door Margaret entered a long, low ceiled panelled roo • , lighted by quaint antique lamps hung from the ceiling, tlnv diffused a subdued yet pleasant light around on the mailed figures that stood in the corners, on trophies of spears, •words, guns, pistols, helmets anil thields dented and worn in many a furious fray, on the dark polished floor jrtrewn here and there with lion, leop- Turd and bear skins; on the high buck oarven chairs and tables, on a magnili- Oent bouquet of hot house (lowers in a frosted silver vase, and on tho figure of im old man who sat in a comfortably cushioned easy chair by tho hearth, where a lovely log tiro burned, leaning his elbow on the tablo by the silver flower lied vase. "hood evening," he said, lifting himself slightly; "Tarn glad to see you, and hope you have recovered from the effect* of your long journey." "Qyfce, thauk you," returned Margaret as she put her slim cool fingers into the yello-v claw-like hand extended, and looked at the old man, in whose shrunken sallow face little traces of his handsome youth remained j-ave and except the large, clear grey eyes, that were so bright and kt en they hardly seemed to require the aid of the oldfashioned heavily mounted glasses that h u n g round his neck, suspended by a black ribbon. "1 suppose Locksley and my sister have given you some idea of your duties?" •'Ye*. I have oeen told that I am to read or sing to you, and play chess every evening." "Every evening!1" he echoed. " I did not say that. Isabel told you t h a t , " with a sharp glance at her. ' Isabel? she repeated enquiringly. "Yes; Isabel Morton—my sister." * Oh yes Mrs. Morton told me you would require me every evening!" answered the girl quietly. "dust like h e r , " said Mr. Norbury with a bitter little laugh. "Of course she's been abusing me to you already." * Mr. Norbury! ' exclaimed Margaret, coloring as she re ollected his sister's not altogether complimentary remark-1. ••I know she has. Don't deny it," he cried testily. " I hate a lie, and love the truth at any cost " " I am not going to deny i t , " said the girl, feeling that with this old man subterfuge and prevarication would be worse than useless. "Mrs. Morton said you were rather exacting and that 1 must be prepared to be dismissed at a moment's notice, without any apparent r e a s o n . " "Did she though? T h a t ' s pretty strong from a woman who owes all she has to m e " he muttered to himself half aloud. "But come and sit d o w n , " he added. ' Y o u have been standing all this time. I want to have a good look at y o u . " Margaret approached nnd sat in the three cornered cha r he indicated, which brought her more fully into the light of both lamps and fire. "Why, bless me, who is it you remind m e of?" he exclaimed as he peered at her curiously through the gold-rimmed glasses. " W h a t ' s your name? I forget." " M a r g a r e t C r e w e , " she answered in her sweet tones, blushing just a little under his scrutiny. "Margaret—Margaret," musingly; "yes, of cour e. And what was your mother s maiden n a m e ? " " N o b l e . " " A h ! " For a moment the sunken yellow face seemed to turn a dusky white, and then he leaned his head <>n his hand, and shaded it from her gaze. She longed to ask him if ho knew her mother that dear mother who had been called away while she was still a little child, and of whom she had only a misty memory of a lovely face with sad blue eyes a*nd frame of golden tresses, \ ut she did not dare, and alter a moment he dropped his hand, and iurning asked her if she w. .uld sing. "With pleasure," she assented readily. ' What kind of songs do you like?" ' Something simple ballads. Do you know any of Moore's?" " Y e s , " a n d s i t t i n g d o w n a t the quaint tall piano she began, "Believe me if all those endearing young c h a r m s . " It was not a grand instrument by any means, but it was tuneful, and her full glorious voice rose to its accompaniment, and r a n g through the old room, stirring long forgotten memories, sad if sweet, within tlfe-e4d—-mftft-'s breast. "Ah, you'll suit me in that respect," he observed when she linished. "1 like your voice." •• am glad of t h a t , " she answered modes i J y. "Now try another and go on till I stop you or you feel tired." obediently she turned and struck the opening bars of *My Heart and F a t e , " ami went on from one to another for nearly and hour. "Tii:mks; I must not work you to d e a t h . " he remarked at last. ' Come and have a game of chess with me, and pour out the c h o c o l a t e . " Moving'with easy grace, she wheeled up the beautiful inlaid chess table, then poured the chocolate out of a lovely silver pot into the rare Worcester cups, ami then handing one to him, took the other herself, and sat opposite him. They played for over an hour, and during that time thought of nothing save the technicalities of the game, He was a good player and became absorbed in the game with a sort of lierce intenseness which struck his opponent as curious, and every time he beat her he chuckled and rubbed his hand-*, and showed every sign of delight, just as though she had been a crack player instead of a very indifferent one. " T h a t will d o . " he said as he checkmated her for the f.mrth time. "Kindly ring for Latimer. 1 keep early hours, being a mere remnant of a m a n . " "Shall 1 come here to morrow even i n g ? " she asked as she pulled the bell. "Yes; if the dullness and dreariness of t o n i g h t have not wearied you, my d e a r , " he said kindly. " I should be glad to have yon with m e . " " T h e n 1 will come at eight," she rojoined with that soft sweet smile that made her fair faee more beautiful. "Very well; and tell Isabel t h a t ! don't think you will give me causo to dismiss you at a m o m e n t ' s notico," as she moved towards the door. "1 would rather you should tell her that yourself, please," she deaded "Certainly i will, if you prefer it. Good-night --good-night." And then the door closed after her, and she was free to go to her owd room and ponder over tho strange events of the day. CHAPTER IV. For some weeks Margaret's lffo glided on smoothly and with a certain amount of sameness. She breakfasted in the schoolroom with little Dorothy, generally lunched with Mrs Norton and her pupil, en countering the widow's scornful indifference with a show of unconsciousness that stung and annoyed the elder lady greatly; dined with her at seven,and spent tho rest of the evening with Mr. Norbury, betweeu whom and herself a queer kind of affection seemed to have sprung up. He was eccentric, curt, sometimes unreasonable, yet he always treated her courteously, and was invariably glad to see her, and listened to her singing with evident delight. " 1 am expecting friends to arrive here to-day," observed Mrs. Morton one afternoon as they sat at Lunch. " I suppose, Miss Crewe, you will have no objection to help me entertain them about tho afternoon tea hour, and pour it out and dispense it for m e v " " N o t the least in the world," answered Margaret coolly. "And sometimes I should like you to sing for an evening, if you will. My brother speaks very highly of your voice " "Mr. Norbury is very good," said the girl with a slight blush that did not escape the widow's sharp eyes, "if he can spare me occasionally, I will sing for y o u . " " H e can easily do that. Perhaps, while I ha e guests, you would prefer dining in the schoolroom with Dorothy ?'' she suggested cleverly, not wishing to have Meg s beautiful face too much en evidence, as she expectod, among others, a hard-riding, hard-drinking, fox hunting squire, rom a neighbouring shire, whom she wished to fascinate an J approprite to herself, as his rent roll was long a r d his establishment magnificent, and lacking a mistress, " t h e n you can go to my brother at seven, and come to the drawing-room at nine. Will that arrangement suit y o u ? " "Very well," agreed Miss Crewe readily, for she did not care to mix too much with the gay butter Hies of fash-, ion whom she knew Mrs. Morton would rather round her. "Then adieu until five;" and with a careless nod the widow w e n t uo to a r r a y herself in dainty attire, and drive down to meet her friends. [TO HE CONTINCED.] A Model Carolina Woman.

For oO years she has followed the plow and engaged in the usual round of farm labor. Last ^ ear she made nine bales of cotton, besides provisions, with one plow.

Remarkable Story by an old Sailor—A Pirate Band Hoisted Into Eternity by a Leviathan of the Deep—A Tale of the Sea. "It was in the year 1846,' said an old sailor to a Hartford Times reporter, "that I was bound to the ivory coast in the English brig Plowboy, C a p t Scott, commander. She was a dry urafr, well found, but very slow, and, although those were risky days along the..heathen coasts, owners of crafts were stingy about arming them for protection. We had two old six-poundara. which had been purchased at a sale of condemned ordinance, a n d ten or a dozen muskets and cutlasses of but little value. We called at the Canary Islands on our way down t h e coast, and there we got the c a n n o n out of the hold and mounted them on then- carriages. Tho captain was informed that a French ship had been plundered and sunk between them and the tropic only two weeks before, and that two or three suspicious sails were cruising along the coast We felt brave enough as wo sailed to tho south with thes'e two old cannons on deck, find the wish was expressed time and again that we might fall in with a pirate. "We got light and baffling winds along the Barbary coast, but were nearing the tropic, when one afternoon an hour before sunset, a strange sail was seen standing out from the coast to cut us off. She was also a brig, and from the very first sight of her there was no doubt in our minds that she was a pirate. We altered our course a few points to the west, and then began to get ready for her. We had no sooner set about loading the guns than it was found that our cannon balls were all too large for the bore. Not one of them could be made to fit This discovery took the courage out of us, and it was only in the hope that we might kill a few of the pirates before we were all sacrificed that we loaded with bolts, pieces of chain and such stuff in place of solid shot. This discharge would be effective at close quarters. "This stranger walked up on us at a rapid rate, and when darkness came on he was not more than four miles away. Our captain went into the rigging with his glass for a long squint, and when he came down he called us aft and said there was no longer room to d o u b t The stranger was a pirate and there was uo hope of escaping him. At that very moment the wind, which was off the land, began to fail, and ten minutes later we h a d n ' t enough to blow a feather. We could no longer see tho stranger, owing to the darkness. We knew that he must have lost the wind first, and that he was all of three miles away. "If the calm held through tho night he would have to attack in boats, if at all, and we then stood some show of beating him off. Bel eving that this would be the best plan, wo made the preparations possible. It was a starlight night, but with a bit of fefy-rising from A Xegro's Head Stops a Cotton (*in. Some days ago, while Mr. J a m e s Gilmere, near Sauford. N.C., was ginning cotton, his gin suddenly halted. I e was very much pu zled for a few moments to account for this sudden standstill. On careful examination of the premises he found a Negro—one of the hands about the gin -laying, under the overshot wheel, his bend wedged between the wheel and a rock in the bed of the stream. The Negro, while riding on the turning shaft of the wheel was thrown from his balance, his head landing under the wheel. Mr Gilmore pulled him out in an unconscious state and went for a doctor. On returning, to his great surprise, he found the N egro up and walking about. It is conceded by every on who has heard of this occurrence that the a amantine skull of tho Negro saved his life. It is known from from many ex eriuients that the brain of the African raeo is incased in n most durable shell. Finding the Sun in a Storm. A correspondent writes to tho Boston Journal: Reading accounts of so many being lost in the snow and fog, I would call your attention to a simple means ol determining the position of the sun al any time of day, which is by placing tin/ point of a knife blade or a sharp leadponeii on the thumb nail, which will cast a shadow directly from the sun. no m a t t e r how th.'.-k Mm snow or fog is. Try it. the water, nnd all our lights were extinguished at dark, and we moved about in our bare feet. The pirates had probably taken our bearings by compass before night shut in, but with that fog coming a little thicker he could not see us 100 feet away. ".Midnight came and wo had heard nothing. The fog. was now very thick, aud every man was listening intently to catch the first suspicious sound, when all of a sudden there was a terrible crash, followed by shouts and shrieks. There was another crash, more shouts, and then a splash into the water as if an iceberg had rolled over. In a minute or two we got a swell which lifted the brig-like a cork and kept her dancing for three or four minutes. When it subsided the captain and mate agreed it had been caused by a whale breaching. Both had sailed in whaling ships, and they asserted that nothing else could havecauesd the commotion. "From midnight until dawn every mau stood at his p o s t When daylight came we saw the pirate brig about two miles off. Between the, two vessels was a lot of wreck stuff which the captain's glass niade out to be tho shattered remnants of several small boats. Onlv four men could be observed abroad tho brig, .and as the captain was watching them they got into a tight, ono was killed, the other ran below, and tho two ujen left on deck got a white clotKp^prn the cabin and sent it aloft instead!, of a flag. '* "In about half an hoiu>-wo got tho wind and ran down to U6V and lowered a boat nnd went abroau. I wont in the boat and followed tiie mato on deck, where wo wero welcomed by two men who spoko English. It \ w a s a queer case, as/vou will agree. One of the men was an Englishman, the sole Survivor of an English vessel wrecked on the Barbara const firn years before. The other was an American who had deserted his ship at tho Cape Verde Islands three years prev ously, and while making a voyage in a coaster had been captured and spared by the vessel lie was on now. The dead man and the one below were native Algerines, as were most of the brig's crew. "On the previous night, when the wind went down, they got out and towed their brig about a mile. Tho entire crew, with the exception of the four men, then armed themselves, and the boats set off to uttack us. What followed could be pretty safely guessed at. The four boats wero in company when the whale struck at luasL one of them as he came ui>. He must have thrown his boat m*my feet into tho air. He might have fallen upon the others or shattered them with a rap of his flukes, but that he destroyed them the evidenc was before us. "Not a man had escaped, and instead of being captured and made to walk the plank, as we had reason to expect, we had turned about and captured the piractical craft without firing a s h o t She was a fine prize, I can tell you, having over §20,000 worth of plunder on board, besides being a better vessel than our own. We carried her down to Sierra Leone, where she was delivered over and passed upon, and every one of us got a comfortable lump of prize money from the adventure. She was an English brig which had been captured five years before under Cape Blanco and recorded as lost in a g a l e . " Beggars of Old. In many parish books, about three hundred years ago, we find such entries as these: "Payd for wippin tow pore folk, ijd." "Payd and given to a pore man and his wiff that was wipped, iiijd." This was double the usual tariff, which was represented by "Gave the tow when they went, ijd." In Saxon times the beggar, unless he found refuge in ono of the thinly settled monasteries,* was in evil case. He belonged to the dangerous tribe of masterless men, people for whom no one was answerable, and those who sheltered him were fain to do it by stealth, for if a man stayed with you more than a couple of days you were accountable, not only for anything he might then do, but also for his antecedents. Mr. Ribton Turner thinks race had a good deal to do w th beggary. When you take awav man's means of life ho must either starve or rob or beg. The oldest,. natives of Great Britain were short, dark people—Basques, say some, Esquimaux, say others; the tall, lighthaired Gael beat them out from almost every here, except part of South Wales. Then tho Cymri, another Celtic people, came across from Cimbric Chersonese (Denmark), lauded in Aberdeen, and spread over Scotland as Picts, and coming southward wero met by the tide of Saxony, or (as the new lights prefer to call it), "English" invasion, and turned nside into Wales. What the roundskulled Gael had done to the shortskulled people who preceded him tho Saxon did to Gael. He took his tilled land from him; in those days it was not much, nine-tenths of the, island, being forest and marsh, and he gave him no chance of settling near him ami brin^- "hrg rrrsomB trf iHrtr mitl-eomrtry.—T-hatwas not done till late when tho monasteries (true agricultural colonies)set the example of making the desert smile. Tho conquered had nothing for it but to submit to slavery or to "move on." If ho nioved/on with a lot of friends he might settle; down somewhere in Wales or on the Cornish Moors or in the wild district called Cumbria (Cymri's land), from Chester to the Solway. But there would generally be somebody to turn o u t so. f ho was alone or with a fow, begging or robbing (tho two were interchangeable) was-his only resource.—All the Yeyr- Bound. Brought It Back. Speaking of,the"'reasoning power of fowls, a Maine paper relates the following incident: A well-known Augusta gentleman keeps a number of hen.s and is accustomed at intervals to pound up oyster shells and feed to them. He was engaged in this work a short time ago when a chicken seized a large piece of shell, and running off with it attempted to swallow it. The piece was too large, howevor, and after ono or two ineffectual attempts tho young fowl gave it up, and taking it up carried it back to tho gentleman and laid it down at his feet, inviting him as plainly as words could have done to break it into smaller pioces. :va How to Get Rid of the Sparrows.

The "bard time social" at the home ot Lewis Colby for benefit of Cong'l society last Wednesday night proved a success. Fred Young received the first pn$o for best arranged uniform, and Mrs. Bert Trumble the second prize. All persons holding shares m the Pinckney Circulating Library are re- guested to meet at the residence of ewis Colby on Saturday afternoon, April 14. Those that have books are requested to return the same before the above date.

Mr, Plimpton informs us that the pickel factory is liable to be a tailure unless the farmers rally to the front and leave their contracts this week. Our business men are at work and about oue-third ot the required one hundred acres are pledged. Now, if our farmers want this enterprise at our nlaoe they wiU have to let l t b e k M w a at once what they will do. It rests with you, farmers, whether you will have from three to six thousand dollars lett with you yearly/or not. See to it at once that- you do your part, and the rest will be fullfiiled. We findthat sora« of our farmers object to signing a contract tor raising cucumbers tor the factory. Now, this contract is nothing but a simple agreement between parties for fir&t y^ar to show the prospects as to whether tne firm will put a building here or not. «-•-•> Obituary.

PINCKNEY MICHIGAN MINOR CROPS, Little by little tho truth Is coming out about the ri'Ut'ons between Prince William o t ' erman unci his wife to the e i peror and emp ess, as well as of 1he ugly slate of .celmg hat exists towards I>r. Mackenzie and everytliinj? that is Ungllsh. it appeals that an American woman is playing a | roiuinent part in this bitter quarrel that lias mvi) ved a whole nation and that has become of absorbing interest to everybody, she is the wife of Count Waldersee, who lias j ust been removed from the position o <uare master-general, a post of great importance and it)'uence, to the command of the (ieniian forces on the Khine. This was one of the rrst acts of the new em: **ror and was instigated by the empress, who despises the wife of Count Walderseo. Th.' Countess Waidersee is the daughter o' Ua^id Lee. who was in forme:1 years a banker in New York. In 1801, when slie was :'A yea s old, she went to Paris and there entered into a morganatic marriage w th Prince Frederick of Scheleswig Ilolstein, W; o was over 70. lie lived but six months a d left her $4,000,000, and the emperor added his mite by making her the ! rince-s Yon Noer in her own right. In lets than a year after the death of the priii'-e she married Count Walderseo, who h a ^ i n c e risen to be Yon Molke's principal lieutenant. She was ambitious and brilliant, and has recently organized a salon in Berlin for the anii-Knglish element. Prince William, Yon Molkc, Bis mar k, and all the higher aristocratic and warlike people went with hor. Then she became the leader of the sorial opposition to '-. i toria, now the empress, and a sort of rival o- hers. She fostered thed; s like of Victoria, and led the crusade against Dr. .Mackenzie when he went to Berlin. >\ mm (len. Jolm Newton, who blew iip Hell Gate, and. who is now commissioner of public works in New York city, has just been elected president of the Panama railroad company, which is now owned by the Panamn canal company. There is also to be a new o-jard of directors. This radical change lias been brought about through the induenee of l)e Lesse. s. who thinks the old o.'leers of the railroad were not surti' iently active in behalf of the canal. Cen. Newton is one of the best engineers of the aiie is a man of wide iniluence, and it is ; bought lie can bo of great service in nuiking the Panama canal more popular w th Americans. This new move does not. ind.cae that He Lesseps and his associa'cs are in such desperate straights as represented. Cen. Newton would hardly take t h s step unless lie believed in the con, ile! ion of the enterprise. In the nteanii•< e it has been reported from Paris that sjiaies of the company had advanced Vi fraiii-s under the prospect that the new lottery lean would be favore.l by the chamber of deputies. American workmen who have to compete with the pauper labor of other countries can sympathize with the condition of the French artisan, who is compelled tn compete with poor, cheap Italian labor. It is said that 250,000 of these Italians a're working in France, and owing to thei low so ial scale can work for wages 50 per <ent lower than what the French workman us'<--. In the city of Lyons :.0,000of these foreigners compete with home labor in loth -skilled and unskilled sgryicQ^.. Twelve h- urs is not uncommon for a day's work, thoigh the native workmen are agisting against long hours, and threaten o boycott the Italians. all !liver, Mass., points proudly to the fact that Perry Davis, "the pain killer.'' was a carpenter in that city forty years ago or more. When he found his panacea for all ills he left his bench and took to peddling medicine in a basket. His neighbors told him he was foolish to desert his trade in such a manner, but Davis never doubted his ability to make a fortune with his "pain killer." lie went to Providence, K. I., and became proprietor of what was afterward the largest patent medicine establishment in the world. He died some years ago, leaving a large estate to Ins heirs. The Beattyville (Ky.) Enterprise says that there is so little learning in the mountainous districts of Kentucky because the people can get along just as well without an education. Doctors, lawyers, clergymen, school teachers and business men can prosper in their several callings With only the faintest smattering of book learning. Indeed, a good education would in many cases stand in the way of their success, because It would put them out of touch with the people who rely mainly on the Lord and their own horse sense for guidance in the affairs of life. It is rumored that President Cleveland lia-; privately announced his Intention to re'-c nvene both houses of congress in extra session for consideration of the tariff in case congress adjourns without passing a bill for revenue reform. Some or t h e S m a l l Crops T h a t Are generally N e g l e c t e d on L a r g e AVeute m Farms. The larger the farm tbe less likely- is the owner or manager to give attention to the production of things for which there is not a commercial demand. Still there is generally profit in producing thoiu. If Ibey ordinarily oan not be sold for cash they can be oousumed on tlio place. They will contribute to good l.ving and will effect a saving in grocers1 b lis. Every farmer should plant a few rods of popcorn. As the stalks are small the hills can be near together, and the product per acre will be- nearly as great as for common iield corn. Popped corn is an inexpensive luxury that no farmer's family should be deprived of. There is a growing demand for popcorn in cities, and there is sometimes considerable difficulty in obtaining a supply of it. Sweet corn is as easily raised as common lield corn. and is much superior to it for table use, while the fodder is more valuable for feeding to stock. Both sweet and pop corn should be planted at some distance from a lield of common corn and from each oilier, so that they will not mix. To produce large and well-tilled ears high manuring and good cultivation are necessary. Squashes are useful in various ways, and are easily raised. By planting some of the early, late, and long-keeping varieties a supply for the entire year can be secured. They make excellent pie*. Boiled or baked any of the dry squashes, like the Hubbard, furnish an excellent substitute for the sweet potato. All the ••hard-shell" squashes with proper care can bo kept over the winter. Marrow squshes may be dried like pumpkins, or cooked and preserved in cans. Prepared in either wa they make <.vood pies during the winter and spring. Farmers can generally sell fine squashes to good advantage in towns not supplied by market gardeners. Bakers in largo towns now buy squashes by the ton and keep them to use in making "pumpkin pies" during winter nnd spr.ng. Occasionally there is quite a demand for western squashes to send to eastern cites. Squashes are very desTable for feeding to fowls during the winter when green food can not be obtained. They are also valuable for sheep, pigs, and milch cows. In many localities squashes can be produced to much better advantage than any of the roots that are raised tor stock, and their feeding value is considerably greater. Melon culture has received great attention during the past tew years. Varieties havo multiplied till some have been produced suited to the soil and climate of almost every part of the country. Melons now constitute an important articlo of commerce. Many old cotton plantations in the south have been divided into small f a r m l a n d planted to melons. Entire trains of cars loaded with melons now conifi from various southern cit'es. Melons have become common articles of food with all classes in cities. Few northern farmers can make much moncv in raising watermelons for tiie market,'as the highest prices are always paid for those that ripen early in the season. There is however, a good market for norlhorn grown melons that are used for breakfast.- On every northern farm enough melons should be raised to supply the wants of the family. We have to wait several years for fruit to bo produced on the tgeos we plant, but a crop of delicious melons can be secured in a few weeks from the time the seed is planted. No trees or bush fruit compares with a melon in size and few compare with it in excellence. Genuine buckwheat Hour lias become almost unknown in all lar^e towns, and its place has been supplied by a mixturo of inferior grains -jrcTuenings aTTdr~s1iotts. The" luxury which city people can no longer obtain can still bo enjoyed by farmers, who can raise the grain and have it ground in a custom mill. Seasons that are poor for the other grains are often very favorable for buckwheat, and it not infrequently happens that it commands a higher price than any of thorn. Ground can be prepared for sowing buckwheat after nil the other iield crops are planted or sown. It is not necessary to havo the soil finely pulverized or highly manured for this crop. It will grow on an inverted sod or on ground that is quite rough. It is an easy crop to raise. It can be harvested without a machine and can be threshed with a hand flail: If not salable and more is raised than can be consumed by the family, the surplus can be fed to fowls to good advantage. On nearly every farm there is some land that may bo utilized by raising buckwheat that is nearly useless for other purposes. — Chicago Times.

Provisions of the New Chinese Treaty-— Washington N>wa In Brief. The Mills tariff bill is now fairly before the house. Several changes have been made in the bill, designing to strengthen it particularly with the southern members. Mr. Mills gave notice that he would try to call up 'the bill In about two weeks. The chief ciiauges have been made iu the sugar rlause. They leave the standard and classification as they are by the present law, which is e pial to a 'i0 per cent horizontal re luctlon. The drawback provision of the bill, as originally rcpoited, is stricken out, thus making a di.terence of about SG.000,000 In revenues These changes, the committee claim, are not made as concessions to tho Louislunadelegatlon, but that they make the bill satisfactory to them. Several changes in the classification under the woolen schedules are also made. The last change Is In the nuture of a new section to tho e'Tcct that nothing in the aet shall interfere with any treaty, stipulation or laws iu pursuance therewith. The minority report was prepared by Mckinley and Iteed. and it is a caustic document, covering about 15 printed ages. It attacks in forcible language the weakness of the Mills bill and refers to the "dark lantern" methods by which that docii'i ent was arranged. Promluence is given to the wool, salt and lumber clauses. This part of the report was prepared by "Tom" Keid, and meets the approval of Burrows, Michigan member of the ways an I means committee. Burrows says the report is positive, pronounced and aggress.ve. The reduction in the public debt during M'Tch amounted to SH,5Sd,550, and since June :50, or the first nine months of the current fiscal year, S8S,5t>0,581. The net cash "in the treasury April t was 8104,- 57;v.toi', or SI 1,500,00) more than on March 1. The gold balance increased * ,000,000 during March and is now ^21s,8is,25:j; while the silver fund balance shows a decrease of ^3,000,000 since March 1, ; nd is'now ^4:-5,88--,78^. Na'ional bank depositories at present hold 5(31,- 31,i>i7 of government money, or aoout one quarter of a million less thin a month go. Government receipts during March aggregated Sv.'Ssn;,s;:;, a falling o !' of about tour and a half millions compaic-. l with receipts lor March, isrr. Three millions of this decrease is due to the falling o'T in customs receipts; one-quarter of a million to smaller internal receipts, and about one million and a half to decrease in receipts from miscellaneous sources. (Government receipts from all souices during th.> fust nine months of the current fiscal-year aggregated SS-w,- 0 1,78\K or about ten millions more than during the corresponding nine months o the preceding year; while the expenditures were $ 00,0-8 I'M, or nearly thirteen millions less than for the corresponding period of the previous year. A bill has been Introduced in the senate for purchasing at s'20,00l> une of Washington's swords from Miss Virginnia Lewis Taylor, a direct descendant of the lirst president. The public lands committee of the house has decided to report bills o.feiting about 10.000, ooo acres of the Northern and Southern I'aci c railroad Ian I giants and the Ontonagon A- Brule river grant. The s :preme court Has made an order denying the motion heretofore made for a reh-aring of the Maxwell-I'reller murder case. The Crane amendments to the constitution'changing the time of the next presidential inauguration and extending the terms of the president and the present congress correspondingly was defeated in the ho ise. Senator Palmer's bill to grant Major McLeynolds of Grand Hapids, h^s Mexican war pensi n for the time he served in the war o the rebellion, has been favorably reported. The report of Special Agent Bowers of the land oi.ee upon the condition and future of the public tim!>er lands, has been laid bef re :he house. It embodios a scheme of legislation for the protection of the forests by the cteation of a forestry bureau in the land office, the appointment of special inspectors and the allowance Of sales of a certain selected portion of the standing timber each year, the land itself generally to remain public property. The house committee on commerce has agn ed to the rcso!ution providing for an investigation of the Hurlington .strike by a special committee of five, to be appointed by the speaker. The resolution declares that the locomotive engineers now employed --aw incompetent and that the claim of resumption of public duties by the Chicago, Hurlington & Cuincy is a fraudulent pretense and a gross imposition upon the public, placing in imminent peril l>oth life and property, The committee is directed to go to the scene offjthe strike, call for witnesses and papers, and investigate and ascertain what is necessary in the way of legislation to protect inter-state commerce. means committee on the Ml Us tariff bill charges that more than onethird of the tree list is 'made up of the products of the farm, the forest and the mine, and points to the fact that while Canada has closed her gates to American products' and manufactures, American ports are thrown open to Canadian wares. Tho majority's treatment of wool is charged as an attempt to break down one of the most important industries in the United States. The minority declare that with free wool American grower * will l>e crowded out, as ihey cannot compete with foreign producers in the markets of the world. The Mills bill will increase importations, thus diminishing home pro duction. One reason American vobi growers cannot compete with foreign producers Is that the lat er raise their sheep in countries where winter feeding is not necessary. The repqrt avers tha had the inujori y heard the representative laboring men of the country they would not have inaugurated the r free trade scheme. Coining to the surplus tho minority states, with much emphasis, that the diminution of the tarilf duties merely serves to stimulat; foreign importations, thus actual y increasing th ' revenue. The surplus could have been reduc d by the purchase of outstanding bonds, for which there w;is ample provision. The tob.icco tax could have I een abolished; the ta<c on alcohol could have been-lak n off. The great incubus which tho ] resident stands In such mortal fear of would then have been powerless to injure the interests of the country. The rep >rt antagonizes the majority report at every point, but while conceding that the republican part.- favors a just revision of the tariff, does not formulate such a revision. As if in answer to the arraignment of t i e minority ways and means commitU e, Secretary Fairchi'd has sent a communication to the house, saying t at his department is doing everything possible to reduce the surplus and avert a crash, redeeming bonds as authori ed by law, but that the surplus continues to grow. The National Woman's Sutfrage Association has adopted a resolution looking toward a union with the American Women's Suffrage Association.

Secretary i airchild has issued an order making a considerable reduction in the salaries of '.fty one employes in the o'lice of the supervising architect, by which the expenses of the olice will be reduced S:\5t)0 for the remainder of the fiscal year. The purpose of the redaction is to avoid a detlciency in the appropriation for salaries in the ollice. The house has passed a bill restoring to the service Lieut. Jouett, a son of Admiral Jouett. Kumore I that President • Cleveland has a dark horse ready for chief justice.

It also appropriates in th" same manner lor ninety-eight other similar schools, 100 in all, and name, the cities in which they are to be located.

Cutcheon's bill extending the provisions of the law providing for the muster and pay of certain o veers and eidisted men has passed the house. Spring Management of Bees Cellar wintering will not admit of early handling so as to enable us to brine: colonies up to the highest state of perfection,and to reap the richest reward in honey crops during the early honey flows. Therefore I prefer to have them on their summer stands in chaff hives. There are many fine days from Ike first of March until spring fairly opens when we can handle bees in perfect safety. I have found to my satisfaction that there is no time during the year that my attention is more demanded than during March and April. Those two months are the key to large liono/ crops, and I must ha^ve my boes iu such shape at this time t h a t I can attend to I heir wants. I endeavor to put my bees in the best possible condition for safe wintering during the fall months,but at my regular time of n>ak± ing examination during the following March. I have never failod to find that attention was needed, and often many colonies are saved just at tho nick of time. I may have beeu very particular to give each colony in the fall the necessary amount of provisions, but from some cause I am not able to explain, many will consume almost enlire stores by tho following March, while others have abundance in reserve. Hence such colonies must be provided with provisions or they will starve long before the spring sets in. While it is a fact that food cannot be provided in winter weather in some forms, it can bo in perfect safety in others, and not only in perfect safety, but it is very beneficial to healthy colonies, and very healing to those affected with dysentery. This most dreaded disease generally shows itself in March, and fine days together with careful manipulating will bring such colonies through. All colonies badlv affected thus should be placed upon clean combs and provided witli candy made from pure granulated sugar. This candy is the only safe winter food wo can give bees. Liquid food of any kind fed to bees during winter is very damaging to them. It tends lo produce dysentery, while this candy referred to will tend to heal it. After the weather has become broken and the bees can get a good flight ouco or twice per week, we can safely feed liquid food, and we should commence as soon as possiblo by feed rig a little to every colony once a day. From this time forth, all depends entirely upon our management as to the force of bees wo have; on hand ready for the work when the harvest conies. By judicious feeding to stimulate brood rearing, we can easily have) our force double what it would otherwise have been if allowed to tako their chances. Large crops of honey wholly depend upon the strength of colonies; noL upon the numbers in the hive.—A. 11. Duff, in Practical Farmer. As a res dt of the appeal of the thirdelass po.stnias.ters for allowance for rent and clerk hire, which appeal wa made when in convention in Washington some Rumored that President Cleveland has prepared a letter declining a second term.

BEHHETT, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR fincimey, Michigan. Tnuraaay, April Y2,1888 Washington Letter. from Our Correbpondent. WASHINGTON, A F I U L 12tli, 188S. Congress was not completely extinguished last week but it must be con* fessed it was considerably overshadowed by another attraction—the Women's International Council. And the cont e n t i o n was quite a financial success. to say the least, its surplus being limited only by the size of the Opera House in which the gathering was held. For four days1 the storm clouds wre^led with the Council, and for four nights the rain pattered down and the women spattered forth and back. They were burning with the fires of too lofty an enthusiasm to bother about the weather. It was not until the tilth day of the convention that the sun shone and the were passed by practically one vote, the Logan bill by 154 against 95, and the Blair bill by 148 against 9 1 . All the republicans and about; one fourth ot the democrats voted for both bUtt and about three fourths of the democrats opposed both. The Logan bill was in the last Congress and was then the subject of lively political discussion. The committee on t h a t occasion! divided on party line1}, and the bil was adversely reported which killed it for that Congress. This time it occupied a very different position. It was introduced by a democrat, M r . Mc- Shane, and was favorably reported by a majority of the committe composed of nine democrats and six republicans. Mr. Matson, Chairman of the committee on Invalid pension*, led the opposition to the bill, a r d Bourke Cochran. who sits on the democratic sid* ot the house, made the most conspicious effort in advocacy ot its passage. A now that the Blair and Logan pension bills have been d sposed of in this way, it h i s been suggested that AT THE NEW ^FURNITURE STORE *rf Grand Trunk Railway Time T a M * MICHIGAN AIR LINK DIV1BIOX.

The wide scope ot the topics discussed at the Conference gave unusual interest to the proceedings. I might Bay every subject that pertained to woman considered. Attention was given to the notable advances in all lines of development, involving a review of what has been accomplished, which gave a congratulatory tone to the gathering, and certain representative women here who would not have been attracted had the crusade had only a political end in view. The necessity of better organization in the work women's advancement was t h e main idea ot the convention, and t h e organizations perfoi-ts'd as the result ot the effect promise to lie of historical interest and importance. you can get REPAIRING OR CABINET WORK of the most difficult kind done neat and cheap.

He also relates a narrow escape at Elifcabethtown, same town. While assisting on officer eject a noisy tough from the theater a pal of the offender made a Innge for Ed. trom the rear with a big dirk knife, but the latter turned just in time to catch the wouldbe assasin's wrist and wrench his arm for him.

Pontiac Bill Poster: A smoothtongued medicine man recently played bis slick little game in South Lyon and caught about forty citizens for a cool hundred dollars in hard cash. He commenced in the usual way by selling a tew samples of his nostrum at 25 cents and returned the money with a little cash added, then jumped bis "medicine" to 12 and paid two or three parties $4 each. By this time the preachers, editors and sitizens of South Lyon generally were ready to invest, and the sharper stood torty suckers up in a row, sold 'em each a box of truck for 12 that would be dear at five cents —and drove off leaving the dupes standing and staring at each other. People who attempt to get something for nothing and bite at suck bait as the above; deserve not only to lose their money but ought to spend as ranch more in hiring some athlete to kick 'em all as long as the man of made could raise a cow-hide. JLflWr Bay. A quarter of a century has passed aince, in a quiet green valley of Pennsylvania, the name of Gettysburg was made forever memorable and its bloodstained victory turned the bal* abee, in which hung the Nation's life. The monuments now being erected there, to m«rk the position of our regiment* in tlmt awful contest, signify but little of Michigan's enduring gratitude to the union soldiers .on every field. Memory and reverence for their battle—bought honors, with increasing voluins, shall come, as they go. Knowing the loyalty of our people, their willingness to add blessings tor their children and to associate with them, lofty and patriotic sentiments, I do hereby appoint Friday, April 20th, as Michigan's Arbor Day. And may the trees planted upon that day be in memorv of and as monuments to the brave defenders of our nation. Let the resting place of the sleeping ones, whether known or unknown, beunforpotren; and those who yet remain in the broken ranks and live with lessening life be remembered. This done, and when the last veteran has gone, when a century and more shall have passed, historic monuments shall beautify our State and breathe to the gen eratiofls that rest in~tbeir shadows, of sacrifice, patriotism and the price of liberty. In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the great seal of the State ot Michigan to be afj&xed at Lansing the 3rd day of April, in the year of our Lord 1888. C. G.

T h a t afternoon Meg .sat, later on, before the pretty Dresden tea-equipage in the luxurious drawing-room, trilling with the cups and watching Dorothy, who sat on the bearskin rug, playing with a fierce-looking head, with its bright eyes and sharp teeth, when suddenly tho door was thing open, and In swept Mrs. Morton, followed by live or six ladies. They were all middle-aged and portly, s a c one, and she was petito and slender and graceful, with a dusky olive skin, through which the carmine glowed on either check, and ruby red lips, and golden brown eyes, and a wealth of dark brown hair that strayed in curls. and rings on her white forehead. She was about twenty, and fashionably and taste'uily dressed; and, as Meg looked at her, she knew intuitively that she was Ada J.angdon. the woman whom • on Norbury wished his nephew .lack to marry. \iiss Crewe rose, and Mrs. Morton murmured a few words, whereat all the ladies stared at her stonily, • oved their heads about the hundredth part of an inch, and then crowded round Dorothy praising her prettiness. and spoiling and kissing her. "Will you let us have some tea, Miss CreweV" said Morton sweetly. She never dropped the mask of amiability in public, or the false smiles that habitually wreathed her comely lips.and dii'y Meg sugared and creamed the cups of steaming Souchong and handed it round. "Sorry to trouble you,"' smiled tho widow, 'but our gentlemen have disappointed us.'1 -— "When will they c o m e ? " asked Miss Langdon, languidly stirring her tea with'a diminutive spoon. "Mr. Maiden comes by the 4:>'\ and Jack and Captain Drew will be here just in time for dinner; the rest of my house party wil arrive to-morrow.' 1 . "How delightful! I shall be quite glad to see Captaid Norbury again,1 1 murmured Ada. and as she spoke, Meg's face grew suddenly white from brow to chin, and her hand trembled so much that sho poured the tea on to the afternoon tea cloth, and dulled the brillian e of the sunllowers embroidered thereon. "And he to see you,11 returned Isabel Morton. "And Captain Drew, too, 1 should say, •' chimed in Mrs. Mirrors, a stout comfortable matron, who had a knack of speaking the truth openly and bluntly. "Why should he? ' asked the London bell with a touch of hauteur in her manner. "Hoc a use ho boaned you about all last season,11 returned the matron, " a n d was devotion itself last winter in Rome.1 ' "Rubbish!11 laughed Ada, half pleased and half displeased " H e is sweet on Miss Maitland." j "W&s sweet un'.il ho saw you, and **your superior charms won the day.1' \ "Pooh:1 1 and the beauty turned tho conversation into other channels, and jl at las'* went a '.ay to m a k e an elaborate ( dinner toilette, wherowith to k\$ inato the male hearts.

"Keallv!" was all the companion said. "They wouldn't leave him with me, though 1 offered to bring him up; and then they put him in the army, and expected me to provide. for him and pay his debts, which are rather n u m e r o u s . " " H e can pay those if he marries «, rich wife," suggested Margaret in a low voice. "No; I wouldn't have him do t h a t , " said the old man sharply, "though I once wished him to marry a woman whose estates joiu mine; but after al1. a marriage should be an affair of affection, not a matter of convenience." "Certainly it should," exclaimed Miss Crewo vehemently, while an angry red spot glowed on either fair cheek. "Is there anything more nor riblo than for a man or woman to marry for money--from a sor id motive alone and to trample on the best affections and feelings of those they entrap for the gain of filthy lucre'!"1 "Have you ever been in love my dear?'' asked Mr. Norbury, favoring her with one of his keen searching glances. " N o - y e s that is—you have no right to ask such a question," she stammered. "No; perhaps not. Only I take an almost fatherly interest in you, child," laying one of his yellow c.laws on her soft white hands. "Thanks,";, she said gently; " I will own to you that I did love one, absorbingly, devotedly. But my affection was misplaced: the man I cared for so trulv jilted me for m o n e y . " " I s it possible that any man could prefer another woman to y o u ? " ejaculated the old man. " H e did not marry another w o m a n , " she answered sadly; "only he gave me up.when he knew that if he kept true to me he would lose his inheritance." " T h e cur!" exclaimed Mr. Norbury. " L o t u s change the subject," she implored. "If you wish. But you are to smg to-night: is it n o t s o ? " " Y e s . " "Isabel begged me to spare you. Now do you do it willingly, or would you rather not exhibit vour talent in public?" quite ready to sing to Mrs. guests," sho replied a little if she wishes mo t o . " go, my dear; I won't detain you.

There are two distinct forms of pneumonia. One of these always follows an atack of bronchitis (a cold in the lungs); in this the lung is inflamed in patches or lobules scattered over both lungs alike.

The Detroit Tribune reveals a new danger to hotel guests if a sleepy clerk happens to be in charge at the desk: "Key to 278!" said the bell-boy to the clerk of a city hotel, as he rushed up to the counter.

He is a lazy dog, and instead of hunting for something to cat he lets his victuals hunt for h m. That is, he lies with his great mouth open, apparently dead, like the 'possum. Soon a beetle crawls into it, then a tly, then a gnat and a colony of mo>quitoes. The alligator doesn't close his mouth vet. He is waiting for a whole drove of tilings. He does his eating bv wholesale. A Utile later a lizard will cool himself under the shade of the upper jaw. Then a few frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes. Then more mosquitoes and gnats will alight on the fVog. Finally a whole village of insects and reptiles settle down for an afternoon picnic. Then all at once there is an earthquake.

It is an old saying that Jackson leads and others follow, and it has proved true in this case. The Jackson Wagoii Company Wednesday, received from Uncle Ham's servants at Washington an order for 300 wagons ior the Indian ^agencies. A fire was started in a very peculiar circumstance last Thursday morning in the Goldsmith block, occupied by the postoffise, Bartree corset factory, Star and Patriot newspaper offices, fo>' a time it looked as though the block was doomed, but for the timely discovery bv the PatriotcomDOsitors. The block is also cceupjsd by t h e Baltimore & Ohio telegraph office, and when the lines were put in one of them crossed the lead pipe connecting the gas meter. The flashes of the lightning that evening were yery vivid and charged the wires to an unusual degree; the heat insulated the pipe and then coming in contact with the gas if nited it, causing a slight explosion. The men should be riehly rewarded for extinguishing the flames, for if they had not discovered it the fire would have been a heavy blow to- the city, for it would have thrown oub of work between 40$ and 500 hands in the corset factory, and ruined one of the handsomest blocks in the city, and perhaps :fc might have spread to other blocks. Last Monday your correspondent got a ''tip1' that Prof. Hogan was going to make a jump from his balloon Wednesday morning, and so about 9 o'clock that morning he, with a representative from the papers in the city, strolled out on Jackson Moond< a hilly piece of ground in the southwestern part of the city. At 9:21] the match was applied to the fire under the husa* air ship, winch, by the way, is sixty feet in eircumferen<g\ and in twelve minutes trom t h j / t i m e the fir« was started the pn/fei-sor was r^adv to maku an ascemsion. The parachute was fastened to the Lop of the balloon with a piece of twine and by the weight of the person it broke, bnt by some mishap the string broke when he started and the parachute swung down under the balloon which impeded the balloon from going very high. It would have been a foolhardy piece of business to attempt to make a jump in that manner, and in about a half hour he alighted in an open tieid aboutone mile from the place he started. He said he was nos- to' be balked in that way, and was going to try it again^ as soon as lie could get the balloon filled. The match was applied the; second time at 10:M) and in fifteen minutes »he was ready to go again. Thi<? time everything worked satisfactorily, and when he was up about 10.000 feet, and by a pre-arranged signal Prof. McEwen fired a revolver and the daring aeronaut jumped from his balloon, and tor the first 409 or 500 teethe shot through the air like a dart until the "chute" filled with the air and then he came down with an ease and graoe as it a man was coming dt>wn—a—pair-o-tstairs, and when ke landed his arms and limbs were so- numbed that he could not stand, and- laid upon the ground tor rive minutes and then got up laughing and joking as usual, l i e made the descent in three minutes andeight seconds.

We kindly and sincerely ask those who receive a statement to call and settle, with us. Of course each bill is not very large, but the little from each one will help to make a large amount, and we need every cent that is due us. We have to pay for our material and it takes money to do this. We sincerely hope that you will comply with our request. By request we reprint the following: W7e learn that Mr. D. C. Ewen, of Blanchard, Dakota, son ot Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Ewen, of this place, was married on Wednesday. April 4, 1888. to Miss Josephine McQueen, of the •ame place; also Mr. Henry E. Ewen, of Carnngton, Dakota, another son ot D. F. Ewen %nd wife, was recently marnedto Miss Gma Kuntson, of Belgrade, Minn. Wre extend our congratulations to these newly married couple?. Mrs, Harry Rogers invited the young people's bible class, in the M. E Sunday school, ot which she is teacher, to spend the evening with her last Wednesday. About 20 being present and all enjoyed themselves with games, visiting, etc. A\splendid supper was served by—this1 esteemah.e—lady, which the guests relished very much. The company remained until after mid-night then all started tor their respective homes, thanking their teacher for the way they had been entertained. At about eight o'clock on Mondaj morning the cry ot tire startled the citizens of this village, and upon examination it was found to be the home ofGeo, W. Reason which was burning. The fire originated from a defective chimney and would have been a hot blazt) had it not been tor the timely aid of our citizens, who applied plenty of Water, and extinguished the flames before they bad gained much headway. The loss will be about $25. and we anderstand there was no msvrance. It stands everybody in hand to closely inspect their chimneys. We are very sorry to state to our readers that Dr. \V, P. Gamber, who with his esteemable wife came here from McBride nearly one year ago, and entered into partnership with Mr. A. J. Chappell in the drug business, Will move back to the aboye named place, Mr. Chappell will continue th« business at this place, We can bestoak for the manv friends that this worthy con pie have gained during their stay here, that their, presence will be greatly missed in church society as well as m tbeir b u s i n g matters. We knpw that they need no illtrod notion to their future home, but we wish them success wherever they are. We cannot see any reason why; people in this village and vicinity should go away from home to do their trading, -unless it is because they wish to pay more rfconey for the same quality and quantity of goods. To accommodate the farmers, we have a good market for their grains of all kinds, for which they can receive as much as tbey can at any other place; We have as good a hardware as there is in Livingston county, and all good.'iti that line can be bought as cheap, if not cheaper than in other places. We have three dry good stores, which contain all kinds of dry goods, groceries) etc., etc., and are sold as low as first-1 class goods can be sold. W6 have two drug stores that keep as fine a line of drugs, medicines, candies, stationary, and all things that are classed in this line as can be purchased, and thti pro-1 prietors are willing to wait Upon yotl at any time, with pleasure.td.say nothing of the cheapness of which their* goods are sold. We also have two first-class furniture stores and are filled with all kinds of goods in this litie'., A gun shop and jewelry store is air ways filled with the finest kind 'oF stock, and work ot all kinds in this' line is done neat and cheap. We kave three as fine blacksmith shops as can1 be made, with first-class workmen, who are ready and willing to do all kinds' of work in this line in the finest shape and at reasonable prices. A fine carJ riage and wagon shop is situated in the west part of f,he village, and some' beautiful buggies are turned out. We' have three shoe shops, two,harness shops and Ul do fine work at living prices. We have a good hotel, twogood meat shops, barber shop, a good lumberyard; an elevator, where all kinds of grains is bought and the highest cash price is paid; also" a flouring mill that would do a thriving business in anv large city. We have as fine a bank as there is in any place. outside of the city, and when you have money, you can place it in the above named place and it is safe. All kinds of agricultural implements are sold here, and we have many other places of business that we have not room to mention. W7e can not see why" it is necessary for you to go away froui home to do your trading. Some say,, well this is a free country and we can trade where we have a mind to, but would it not be much better to leave your money in your own village, than to let some of our si.-ter towns consume it? Of course it would. Ii would enable our home merchants to sell their goods cheaper, because they would have a larger trade. There is not a person that resides within or near this village but what would like, to see it prosper, and it can not help1 but do so if it receives your patronage- We Inpe to see more trading done at home.

BENJETT, EDITOR ftWD PROPRIETOR Hackney, Michigan. Thursday April 19,18«* Washington l e t t e r . from Oar Correspondent. WASHIVGTON, A P K I L 19th, 1883, T h e deadlock which entirely stopp e d legislation in the lower branch of Congress last week will be a n historical one. T h e filibustering continued uninterruptedly for five days, roll call following roll call on a l t e r n a t e motions for adjournment a n d recess. Both sides doggedly determined t o keep u p the fight. Both were in t h e worst of tempers over t h e m a t t e r , and unfortunately, under t h e present working rules of the House, a determined minority has it in its power t o prevent legislation b y dilatory tactics. The issues o n which the H o u s e was divided, to t h e shameful delay a n d embarressment of other i m p o r t a n t business, were these. T h e majority of the J u d i c i a r y Committe hold in regard to t h e direct t a x bill of 18(11 that it should either be collected in full, or abandoned, a n d restitution m a d e to those who have paid. T h e minority claim t h a t as t h e Government, in t h e exercise of a constitutional purpose—that of t ^ Q o m m o n defence—those who paid it, whether States or citizens, have n o claim either in law or equity for the r e t u r n of a n y part of it. As for those who have not paid, t h e G o v e r n m e n t has concluded to treat all further obligation t o pay a s canceled. This is t h e case in brief. T h e bill has n o t yet been touched** T u e s d a y a n d Wednesday h a d been s e t a p a r t for t h e discussion of t h e bill b u t both days were filibustered awny a n d ; t h e remainder of the week went in t h e same way. A vote tor adj o u r n m e n t could not be reached, and consequently t h e bill could not be laid aside, Several times during the deadlock it was discovered after a recess that t h e r e was not a quorom present. Then there would be a call of the House. T h e doors would be locked a n d the Sergcant-at-Arms and hi* as- BUtants would go o u t in quest of the absentees. T h e victims would be b r o u g h t in singly and in squads and placed a t the bar of the House where they were required to explain their delinque icv. A s usual a great dual of merriment w a s created by t h e e x - cuses of the prisoners who were badly guyed by their colleagues, much to the entertainment of the galleries. A popular excuse a m o n g the captured Congressmen was that they h i d been absent g e t t i n - something t > eat. Deadlocks in t h e J louse a r e not J frequent. One of t h e most notable I however was when the d e m o c r a t s ' Senator Blair's propoaitioa to t h e Senate t o a w a r d t o t h e D i s t r i c t of Columbia one Senator a n d Congressional R e p r e s e n t a t i v e h a s been m e t with t h e objectiou tliat t o give so small a community a vote in t h e Senate a n d several in t h e H o u s e would be a n injustice to t h e whole country a n d would a g g r a v a t e t h e discontent t h a t many feel with a feature of our Government t h a t is a n exception to the general r u l e of representation according to population. The District is fully ready however for this scheme ot political deliverance, and when t h e bill passes Congress, and her citizens become citizens of t h e United States, there will be -an i m - mense emancipation procession, an oration and the banquet. On Friday last the Senate passed 127 bills in less than a n hour and a half. About half of these h a d been already passed in t h e House. Anions them were *om« private pension ot $25 a month to Dr. Mary \Valker as a "late assistant surgeon, United States Army."' This is well timed for the Doctor whose pantaloons and plug h a t are decidedly the worse for wear. Another of these bills pensions a soldier's "foster Mother," and a n o t h e r increases the pension of Nancy Raines, ninty-six years of age, the oldest pensioner on the revolutionary rolls. | ) K O I U T E OHDER.—State of Mich- 1 igiin, county ot Livingston, ss.

This broke t h e backbone of the deadlock, and within an hour Mr. Hayes was declared to have received a majority of the electoral votes cast.

It \% proving quite a serious wound and may yet necessitate the amputation of bis hand. Dansville Herald: L*st Friday alternoon Henry Debar, an old man living two miles east of this village, was found dead near his house. Justice Miller, Dr. Winters, and a jury were summoned and an inquest held. The jury rendered a verdict that death wasjpaused by heart disease. The funeral services were held at the M. £. church Sunday afternoon. Rev. D, h. Millar officiating, Livingston Republican: Allen Pritchard (colored) died suddenly in his barber shop iast Saturday evening ot paralysis, aged about 53 years. He has been a resident here some 18 years and his shop was located over VVeimrister's bank. He was tound lying on the floor during the afternoon unconscious, and expired noon after. A post mortem examination was held Sundav afternoon, revealing the fact that he died from the case stated above. Stockbridge Sun: L. V. Bee be, of Utica, N . Y., spent Sunday in Stock- ' bridge, a welcome guest Df old friends. It has been six years since his last yiait, and he says so marvelous has been the * growth of the village that be would hardly have known this as his former home. He desires us to say he was denied the privilege of seeing more of the old people by pressing business r - matters, but that be has never forgotten anything of his past experience, and still retains a peculiar interest and pride in the old town that his father platted. If we were to put a two line local in "- the most obscure corner of the paper, rrhich stated that a certain business man charged mote for his goods and k*pt a poorer grade than his competitors, that man would employ a bullheaded slugger to come around and kill us the next morning. But were we to ask the same man for a two-line loot! preening hid wares he would say, "No, I don't believe in advertising; no one reads the papers.'1 Such reasoning would make an Egyptian mummy laugh.—Ex. Farmers look out for this follow. An adroit swindler has been working a quiet game in Calhoun, Barry and Kent counties by which he has reaped a rich harvest He circulated among the farmers and bought cattle, for which he paid in checks which checks were bonatide and were honored by the local banks, where the sharper bad money on deposit But he never called for his cattle. On the contrary, about the time the farmers were looking for him to come after tbera they received notice that the little receips they signed when their certified checks w-te handed them had grown into notes about five times as large as the checks. We find that this village is not left alone with a cemetery that the appearance is terrible to perceive, as the following will show . Stockbridge Sun: Passing through the sadly neglected village cemetery the above sentiment met our eye at various points inscribed upon the marble. We could not help reflecting that the cond ition of the yard evidently gave the he to the inscription. The yard is in a shameful stato of negligence— overgrown with briars, weeds, willows and thistles—the tombstones leaning, and some of them flat upon their sides. Common decency, respect for the opinions ot the living a* well as for the memory ot the dead, should impel our citizens to rennovate this little two acres of ground and put in proper condition, 'fine, cost would be but small. Brighton Argus: Mr. John Taylor's high spirited team was standing near W; 0 . Lee's place oibusiness last Friday afternoon and became frightened at a passing freight tram. Not being securely tied, they soon broke loose and dashed on to the sidewalk in front of the Argus office, barely missing demolishing the whole front and injuring several persons. They proceeded down the street in a much entangled condition, damaging Chas. Bitten's buggy which was standing in front of It. J. Lyon's, and thence down to Dewey's livery oarn where they were brought to a halt by coining in contact with a wagon standing in front of the barn. The horses did not appear to be injured, but they had narrow escapes enough to kill a dozen horse3. In all it was a lucky runaway, but we don't care, (o &ee anothei'j«uch.

STATE NEWS. I x > q g T e r m s f o r D i s o r d e r l i e s . T h e following communication ha/> been sent out bf t h e state board of corrections and c h a r i t i e s - To police justices and those exercising like jurisdiction: It is certain that a large proportion of the.perjona tonvicted before you are arrestbd. under the disorderly a c t A large number of theso are old o enders, are chronic cases. As a rule hey a r e fined a small sum or imprisoned a few day?. This is repeated year by year, until we And some have been in the Detroit house Of correction fifty-seven times, and at Ionia it was j.s bad until the statute prohibited spading persons then* as disorderly persons and for less than n i m t y days. It requires but little experience to convince anyone that small tines and short terms not only do not detur or improve this class, but harden, brutalize and confirm them in their criminal course. Especially is this the case with women. A second or third conviction usually puts this class boyoud hope, unless put under rcstinint long enough to restore their moral strength. The short sentence simply permits of a partial recovery from the effects of dissipation. The same principle applies to like sentences to county jails of this class. Such sentences are a libel on justice, and can only tend to make criminals. This class of chronic disorderlies should be kept for a term of yeais. There then would bo some chance for reform. Even if not reformed, they would be kept sober, made to work, kept out of the hands of tiie saloon-keepers, constables and courts c nt of sight—which all work in the direction of reform. Wo cail your attention to these views, ask your careful consideration of them, and urge you to apply the remedy so far as the statute has given you power.

'1 he next day Dorothy was to have a holiday, and so she kept closely to her room and gave way to melancholy thoughts; so when she went to Mr. Norbury, ho saw she looked tired and white almost as white as tho pretty lace trimmed muslin gown she wore, and he asked her what was tho matter; • but she answered evasively, and he let her go soon, out of pity, thinking she h:id a headache. The men were few and far between, and tho women yawning and distrait, and bored when she went into the drawing room that night, so she went without hesitation to tho piano and b e - gan singing ' Golden Love." As tin; rich tones filled the'room the men came dropping in, Paul Drew lirst and eagerly, then some young curates, and then J a c k Norbury. Miss Langdon, seated near the door, invited him by a sweet smile to come and sit by her but ho ignored the invitation and stood behind the singer, regarding tho bivrk of-her shapely head intently and listening to the notes that brought back memories of other days. When tho song was concluded she rose, and, turning, met his eyes full. Fofr a n i n s t a n t h o started, and the dusky color rose in a 'Hood even to his brow; then he came forward and said quietly: "Good evening Miss Crewe." u(jOod evening." she res; ondedicily, pretending not to see his eager outstretched "hand, which he drew back quickly, while his eyes re ained fixed to hers that regarded him coldly and calmly, as they might any stranger or softened the beautiful sapphire eye*, she said: "Will you show me those en graying* you spoke of?" "With pleasure n he responded readily, a n d offering his arm, they strolled through the curtained archway at the «nd to a sort of little boudoir, and he brought chairs to the table, and, opening a book, began expatiating on the beauties it contained, while Jack watched them from afar with miserable jealous eyes, and Ada Langdon watched him, and at least two people in the room were supremely unhappy and discontented with themselves and everybody else. " T h a t looks like a case," observed the squire, nodding after Drew and Meg *'Ye3," agreed Mrs. Morton blandly; he is evidently much struck with Miss Crewe's appearance; I thought he admired Miss Langdon." "So did 1. But tho white filly"— meaning Meg—' is far the handsomer animal of the t w o . " "Ye-*, certainly," agreed the widow, hardly well pleased,"however, by his horsey terms that s l a c k e d so strongly of the stable. " W h e r e did you pick your companion u p ? " "She is Dorothy's governess," corrected the lady in a stately m a n n e r . " •'Oh, I see." "She was living with Mr. Locksley and his sister, and when he married again tho second wife objected to her, and so she left, and he told us about h e r . " " I s e e . No doubt the lady was jealous of so much beauty." "Very likely," responded the widow amiably. She did not in the least mind what be said in praise of other women since ho had asked her to become Mrs. Maiden ere the year was out. Meanwhile Jack continued to watch the pair in the boudoir intently, and when he saw her rise and shake hands cordially with I rew, he put himself purposely in a part of the room that she must pass; but though she said goodnight to several people in the room, she took not the slightest notice of him, and passed out of the room without favoring him with a single glance. He followed immediately and overtook her in the great hall.

The following afternoon Miss Crewo appeared on the tennis-lawn, racket in hand, attired in a most becoming costume of scarlet and white, .that even Ada Langdon was obliged to acknowledge fitted perfectly and looked most stylish though of inexpensive material. " I t is well to be a governess-companion," she said with a sneer that disfigured her prettv piquant face. " W h y ? " asked Jack, who stood by her side a listener.

"She is well e m - ployed, and may land one of the n i b - bling bsh. Those sort of girls have little modesty, and angle shamelessly for any man with money.

Accidental Marriage*. M a r m g e s are often the result of accident It seems strange, but the most prudent persons will sometimes conceive an irresistable attachment at the suggestion of a word or look. When once under the spell of the verb "to love." they go through all the forms and finish the conjugation of the verb before the altar. The few may give the subject the consideration it deserves, but the many, there is fear, are guided by impulse. A skipper of a coasting vessel called at the village inn and asked the landlady, a young widow: "Do you know where I can get a mate? I have lost my m a t e . " " I am sorry for you. Mr. , " she said. "I want a mate, too, and cannot get one. I'll do; if you'll be mine I'll be yours." He closed with the bargain, and the widow keeping her word, he is now supplied with two mates. A young man at a church bazar was button-holed by a lady; she would not let h m go until he bought something. He looked at her stall, which contained fancy work of various kinds. ''Why," he said, *T see nothing here that would be of the least use to me. a bachelor, except yourself. The rest would be dear to me at any price." " I will be cheap enough, " s h e said, coaxiugly. "If you could be dear euougb, perhaps—" "Oh, come! You are just the man I want," t a k n g him by the arm. She sold him one article after another, keeping up agreeable conversation the while, and before all was done he had purchased everything on the stall. Then at settling up there was something said about discount. " I . c a n n o t return any money," she said, blushingly, "but if you think me dear enough, there's mamma. She can give you my h a n d . " The bargain was accordingly concluded. An eminent doctor, who had saved the life of a lady, a personal friend, was asjsedhis charge. He said he generally allowed his patient friends to remunerate him as they thought befitting. "But don't you often get disappointed on these terms?" she inquired. "I may say, never." "As you arc so easily pleased— here," and she playfully gave him her empty hand, while in the other was concealed a check for a handsome sum. "How easdv I could have taken you in," she added, producing the check. "But you have only succeeded in drawing me out," ho said, declining to relinquish her hand. "Don't insult me with a check. I am most generously rewarded." Perhaps she understood the doctor's difficulty and wished to help him out of it. At any rate the giving of her hand led him to offer his heart. This was how a gentleman got his wife: When in a tobaccon'st's shop he asked a girl be hi ml the counter who happened to have red hair if she would oblige him with a match. ' W i t h pleasure, if you will have a red-headed one," she promptly replied, with such a suggestive, demure smile that eventually tlie red-headed match was handed over. A lady with a tine figure having taken a fancy tot a valuable ring which she saw ticketed in a shop window, went inside to examine it. "It is exceedingly lovely. I wish it were mine," she said on satisfying herself. "What smaller figure will tempt you?" "No other figure than the figure before m e , " he said, giving her an admiri n g i o o k at tho same time. "It is exceedingly lovely. I wish—I could tempt you with tho ring." "I think Pl^yake it," sheL said. Jay-. fiigTfqwn the money amid blushes. Of course, he accepted the money, but getting her address, he made such good use of the hint that the next ring which she got was given by him in church. Quite as singular was the beginning of the man who went into a shop for a pair of shoes. ' I want them wide, please," he said to the girl in attendance, "as I have a good, broad understanding." She. laughed at this reference to the breadth of his feot, and said: "A very good th;ng too, in a man, but not in a w o m a n .

If there should be an outbreak, separate nil healthy from tbe diseased hogs as soon as possible. The healthy bogs should be removed to a new and uninfected pasture or pen, and carefully watched by an attendant. Should any that have been thought to be well become weak, or appear to be sick, ailing or off their feed, take them out and kill them. All diseased hogs should be killed and cremated as soon as possible. If the hogs be healthy it is advisable never t«> allow new hogs to intermingle with them in the herd until after having thorn subjected to a strict quarantine of not less than seven weeks. Neither is it advisable to allow auvone to go into hog-pens after returning from an infected place without first changing their boots. There should b^ but oue attendant to look after sicic animals, who d u r i n g such service should not be allowed to leave the place Hogs should never be watered at a s t r e a m if it should run from where the disease is known to exist. Dogs or other animals belonging to infected farms should not be allowed to roam about at will where h o i s arc kept', as they may carry the infect on to them, If these rules be carefully observed there need be little fear of hog cholera causing any serious loss or spreading to any alarming extent.—Pructicul Farmer. T H E HORSE HAD SENSE, A n d F o u n d HlsVi^Vny S u c c e s s f u l l y O u t of a Difficult l ' l u c e . " I do not believe that animals have reasoning power, but their instinct is sometimes remarkably exhibited," said an elderly member of the Albany (Ga.) bar the other day. "Many years aj»o, before the railroads had penetrated the then dense woods east of tlrs place, J wanted to go to the old Brishone place, then about where Alapaha now stands, and a long distance away. I borrowed a horse, which had just been brought from Macon by Mr. Hines, then a prominent lawyer, father of Mr. R. K. Hines, now residing in Macon. The Brisboue road was then being worked, and there were quantities of short roads branching out from the main road and used by the carts in hauling d rt and timber. By some mistake I took one of these, and when night came on I found that I had passed the end of the rcx;d, and was in the woods, and had lost my way. I tried to proceed, but found that I onlv drove ajja.ust the trees in whatever direction 1 took. I made,up my mind that I would have to stay there all night. It was hitler cold, and I unhitched the horse. I had no matches, and tried to ignite a lire by the Indian method of rubbing two sticks together. I made several attempts in vain. No lire would come. I feared that I would freeze to death unless I could succeed in obtaining a blaze, but it was hopeless. Suddenly the horse whinnied two or three times in a peculiar manner, and I determined that, though tho horse was as s t r a n g e to those woods as I,; still I would trust to l i s mstinct to guide me out of them, knowing I hat n death upon his back would be none the worse. Throwing the halter loosely upon him, with reins itpon his neck, I mounted upon him and turned him loose. He at once started ofF, and after walking over an hour he stopped directly back of J o h n Fletcher's barn house, where we were hospitably received, and man ' a n d boast provided with good provender and shelter. T found that the horse, by some uncountable instinct, had gone over seven miles directly to this farm, whe^e neither of us had ever betjn before. How he found the place, Whether he, with the—ftcute hearing of the brute,—hart heard through all thoso miles of piney woods tho crow of a cock or other sign of life upon a farm, or smelt tho fodder in the stables, has always remained a mystery to me.—Atlanta Constitutio?i.

A meeting will be held at the Diss PATCH office to-morrow (Friday) night, for the purpose of appointing a com^ mittee to see the business men and find out how much the olub Will be helped^ if organized. We believe a first-cUsf, club will be a benefit to the town, inasmuch as it will bring in more or lees! trade, make things livlier, giving thn. farmers ia our community halt a dayV recreation every two weeks, and we. hope it will encourage them to organ' ize a Farmers' Association, which could be held in the town hall after the game is over, making it an afternoon of pleasure and profit to them. The citizens of Howell and Brighton have done handsomely in helping their, ball clubs this spring. As we have better material tor a ball club than either town, we want you, business' men, to give us a start, so don't be backward when the committee calls around to see you, bat open your hearts as you have done in the past and be liberal, for it all depends on yott' whether we organize or n o t CmzBir." -«*£ ^ • • * •m- ! < * ' "*-.i- .LS.

PINCKNET MICHIGAK One of the most probable of wonderful cures is reported from Hartford City, Ind. Miss Mary Jane Roberts Is the daughter of a wealthy farmer, and throe years ajjo she aud a young farmer by the name of Cole plighted their troth. Shortly after the engagement Mary Jane went on a visit to Cincinnati friends, and while In that city had a fall which brought on paralysis. She lias since been a confirmed invalid, and not long ago her lover begffn to cast his glances in another direction until It was rumored that he was contemplating another engagement. The friends of the glrj feared to tell her of this for a time, but it was impossible to keep her in ignorance. When told of the frailty of her lover she did not swoon or even weep. She set her teeth and climbed out of bed. She said she felt a little weak, but would be well before that man should marry another woman. She is now as well as ever and is to be married in a few days. TARIFF TALK. The Debate on the Great Reform Oi It Commenced. Hoston, the home of the champion slueger and the crank, is the seat of a new philosophy or religion, known as the Esoteric. Professor Hiram E. Butler is the prophet of this cult, and he claims to have tea thousand disciples in New England. The fundamental principle of the system is celibacy, and the professor teaches that all who truly practice celibacy as he teaches it will live forever. The object for which marriage was Instituted Is declared to be not only a sin, but the cause of physical death to the race. These poor deluded persons imagine they have a mission to reform the world, and as their vagaries not only do no barm, but rather afford amusement to the unconverted, It's well to leave them to the enjoyment of the bliss which they promise to those who adopt their belief. Summary or W» hLnjrtoQ X«w«. The tariff debate was opened In the house on the l~th Inst by speeches by Chairman Mills of the ways and means committee, and the father of the house, Wm. 1). kelley, tor and against the bill res ect vely. Chairman Mills is but just out of the sick room, but his speech was long, eloquent and strongly argumentative. He was listened to by a very large audience. Mr. Kelley of Pennsylvania :oll>>wed Mr. Mills, in opposition to the I) II, aud poured hot shot of logic into the en'iny's stronghold. He held the attention of his listeners throughout his long speech, as he advocated protection. Judge Kelley says that lie does not Intend to take a leading part in the debate again, and that while he intends to remain in congress he considers his speech of to-day as his farewell to the activities of leadership. At the risk of some repetition, a final glance at the tariff bill Is t ken, for It Is on this that the coming weeks of struggle will be based. Mr. Talbot, clerk of the tariff committee, and probably the best informed man in Washington on the details of the sub ect, furnishes to the press the following synopsis of the proposed legislation: The total customs reduction proposeda 1 ouuts to $53,000,000; the total internal revenue reduction amounts to 924,000,000, making a total reduction of 877,000,000. The number of articles placed upon the free list Is so enlarged as to reduce customs duties to the amount of 822,000,000. Wood, salt, heap, chemicals, metals, etc., are placed on the free list, and bring about a reduction of 8113,000,000. The placing of wool on the free list will result in a reduction of ¢5,003,000. The estimated cuts on other articles are as follows: Chemicals, 8878/273 7S: earthenware aud glassware, $l,75V-87 72; metals, §1,480,- 472 .">'.i; wood and wooden ware, 847,587 18; sugar, -11,292,087 94; tobacco, 511,502 40; provisions, $381,4S5 00; cotton and cotton goods, 8277,610 2(J; hemp, jute and Max gods, S',042,355 7i>: wool aud woolens, 812,830,581 20; books, papers, etc, 8',550 (.)0; i-undries, 81.07SM41 00.

A Kig Treasure Vault. The ono,hundred million vault is the largest construction-of, the kind in the world. ~<s it now appears it looks like a modern improvement on the old dungeons of tho inquisition in Spa n, Italy nnd Austria. Descending inio tho depths of the massive foundations of the treasury, .about thirty feet below the surface of the pubic thorough} ares outside, and crossing a dingy, dimlylighted bare apartment a great square of steel, stand ng partly open in a steel casement, suggests tho entrance to the new vault This door, about eight feet high and six feet wide, is si\ inches thick and weighs o.O(H) pounds, or two and one half neL Ions. To move it on its track into its steel casing requires the desperate- exertions of live men. A mechanical dev.ee. is now being constructed to lessen the demand for this amount of muscle in handling the ponderous portal. lock one foot in diameter, resembling the highly pol shed bottom of a dishpan, and operated through a combination of the most delicate and intricate mechanical appliances iiy means of a key about the size of an ordinary night latch key, throws the powerful bolts mto the slots in the frame, and a time lock holds them there ^against anything short of blowing up the building I y the roots until the hour fixed for the morning rounds of the official custodian of the vaults. Passing1 through the jaws pt this monster of human contrivancejragainst burglarious attempts, the chill, damp air and inky darkness suggest the strength and isolation of this vast treasure bo«. Ii is N5 feet long, 60feet wide and 12 feet high, surrounded by massive walls of masonry and brick five feet thick. In the dim light of a candle the weird lattice work of interlacing bafs of steel which form the 16 cells, each ten by. twenty feet, may be vaguely seen. A'round, the inn«r cage leads a narrow corridor,•.,where the custodian of the vault may make his rounds of inspection. Upon a transverse central corridor the cells open. Each door is fitted with an ingenious devico for fastening^, which will not catch until the doorTs entirely shut and the key removed. Each of these (.oils will hold six and a half <i illion dollars, or a grand total of 3,500 net, tons, equal to 100,000,000 silver dollars. If the corridors were used for storage this aggregate could l;e increased to ^12^,0)0,000. ome practical idea of the extent of this treasure may be formed when it is realized that to transport it would require at least 1.H0 wagons, which would extend in a continuous line from tho new city hall of Philadelphia to Norristown. or a train of cars which would extend from tho Broad Street Station to Ftfty-Seemid St.—Washington dispatch to Philadelphia Times. N«v«r sabjeet Th«m to m Violent E x - ertion on a Full Stomach. Dr. W. C. Fair delivered an address at the recent Collamer Institute on "The Digestive Organs of the Horse and How to Feed Him." He briefly explained the digestive process, as a knowledge of the organs ol digestion and assimilation, with their functions, is necessary to know how to feed. The moutb, lips, teeth, tonfcuo, nose, salivary glands, pharynx, cos op bag us, stomach, intestines, Ilvor, pancreas, all play important parts in this process, and the olllce of each was inscribed. Tho molar, or grinder teeth, are very important. K they are irregular, uneven or very sharp on the edges, cutting the cheeks and tongue, tho animal can not grind the food properly, and indigestion and resultant disorders follow. The salivary glands, six in number, secrete the saliva, which is mixed with the food during mastication, rendering it more digestiblo and faciliatiug its passage into the stomach. The stomach is the leading organ of the digestive process, as here the food undergoes the principal changes which convert it into proper form for the support of the body. The three largo and throe small intestines come nexl. They are ninety feet in length, or nine time* the length of the body. The process of digest on is completed during the passage of food material through the intestines. The liver is the largest gland in the botly. and it is a very important organ of digestion, secreting tho bile, and serving an important function in connecton with certaiu changes in the blood. Tho pancreas resembles tho salivary gland, and has been termed the "abdominal salivary gland." Tho duct from 1 lie gland, convoking tho pancreatic iluid, enters the small intestines noav tho stomach. Tho horso has a very small slomach. Its capacity is about three gallons. Hence, bulky food must be given with great care, and he should never be subject to violent exertion on a full stomach". In feeding, follow the law of nature closely, giving such food as ho desires, m proper quantities and at proper intervals. -The nature of each animal, and its habits and peculiarities, should be studied. Too much concentrated food gives rise to fever and constitutional disturbance. A certain proportion of bulky food should be given with the concentrated food, bui not in as large proportions as to ruminating auiraals with stomachs. More economy can bo used in feeding be;.u'e maturity, but much can be saved in proper feeding after maturity. Milk is a perfect food for tho young colt, but at'the age of four to s x months he requires something olso. Tho choice of his food to replace milk is important. The time to make this change is an important element in making- tho choice of food. Whatever is choson it should posess elements in common with milk, and in nearly the same proportions. There must be no check in growth to realizo the greatest profit. Oats, peas, beans, flax-seed, oil cake, wheat bran, rye bran and middlings come nearest to milk in relative proportions of tuusclo forming and heat aud fat-producingelements; they are also rich in phosphates of lime and magnesia, &c. necessary to build up the animal system. Corn is an improper food for young stock, containing too much carbonaceous and too little nitrogonous elements— too heating and fattening, and too low in muscle and bono elements. Discard corn for animals under six mouths old. Great economy can bo secured by substituting well-cooked flax-seed for tho cream that has been removed from milk before giving it to young stock.

It will soon be unsafe for a lady to go on board a steamboat adorned with the dorsal embellishment of the bustle. From its first appearance, the smuggler seems to have marked the dress improver for his own, and in particular he has been struck by its advantages, as a receptacle for contraband tobacco. Hitherto, however, this abuse of beauty's weapons has been confined to ports which the nobility and gentry do not frequent in large numbers. But on Mo.nday two aristocratic-looking damsels,"Handing from tho Celtic at Queonslo'wn, were discovered (by tho courteous instrumentality of a female searcher) to owe their "improvement" solely to Cavendish to tobacco. It is a sad slate of things whon an American belle, in full panoply, cannot land on our shores without i(n inhospitable summons to show "what she has got thoro."

The great New York "blzzard" was a very costly display of elemental energy, but something should perhaps be allowed because of the valuable addition it has made to the resources of conversation. Everybody in this vicinity had an experience of some kind with last woek's storm, and but few are likely t* find the subject stale for a long time to come. Hence when 7>rdiary topics fail, people of limited conversational capacity can always fall back on tho blizzard as a subject of discussion or reminiscence. Bashful young persons will find it a most useful aid to breaking the ice of a first acquaintance, and Now Yorkers traveling abroad will be able at a slight saorifice, perhaps, of their reputation for truthfulness, to make their talk uncommonly interesting by tales of how they battled with the evermemorable storm of tho 12th of March.

Time tried and thoroughly tested, it stands without an equal! Any druKpfist. In November, 1858, Mr. Conkling was chosen aa a republican to congress, and took bis seat at the beginning of the first session of that' body in December, 1 fcS'-i—a session noted for its long and bitter contest over the speaker hip* He was reelected in 1SG0, but in 1362 was defeated by Francis Kernan, over whom he was elected in 1-M. Mr. Conkling'R fir-t important speech was in support of the 14th amendment to the constitution. He vigorously attacked the generalship of McClellan, opposed Spaulding's legal tender act, ana firmly uphe'd the government in a vigorous prosecution of the war. Mr. ConkUng was re-elected to the house in 1S6A but ih January, 18*57, before taking his seat, was chosen Lnited States senator to succeed Ira Harris, and re-elected in 1S73 and 1879. In the senate he was from the first a member of the judiciary committee, and connected with nearly all the leading committees, holding the chairs of those on commerce and revision of the laws. Senator Conkling WAR a zealous supporter of President Grant's adminiKtration and largely directed its peneral policy towards the South, advocating it in public and by his personal influence. He was also instrumental in the passage of the civil rights bill, and favored the resumption of specie payments. He took a pronv inent part in framing the electoral commission bill in 1877 and supported it by an able speech. Mr. Conkling received 93 votes for the republican nomination for president in the Cincinnati convention in 187(5. !n the Chicago convention be advocated the norriination of Gen. Grant for a third term. in 18-»1 Senator Conkling became hostile to President Garfield's administration on a question of patronage, asserting, with his colleague, Thomas C. Piatt, the right to control federal patronage in his state. The president having appointed a political opponent of Mr. Conkling to the collectorship of the port of New York, th.e latter opposed his confirmation. Finding that he could not prevent the confirmation, Mr. Conkling on May 16 resigned his senatorship, as did also his colleague, and returned home to seek a vindication in the form of a re election. In this, however, after an exciting canvass, they failed, and t w o other republicans were elected to take their place-*. Mr. Conkling immediately resumed his law practice in New York City. In 1885-(3 Mr. Conkling was counsel for the state senate committee, appointed for the R e p o s e of disclosing the fraud and bribery ia the grant of tho Broadway horse railroad, franchise by the board of aldermen in 18S4. After the taking of testimony, lasting about three months, Mr. Conkling made an argument, together with Clarence A. Seward, which resulted in the repeal of the Broadway railroad charter, drove the ''boodle" aldermen either to Canada or Sing Sing, and Jacob Sharp to his grave. Since that time Mr. Conkling has added much to his reputation not only as a brilliant but remarkably successful lawyer. He had appeared in a majority of the noteworthy cases tried in the state of New York since his retirement from the senate. Mr. Conkling's health had been excellent up to the time of the recent great blizzard in New York, when, in returning to his home t h r c - g h tho heavy dri ts, he nearly perishei from cold and exhaustion. To that terrible journey is laid the disorder which culminated in his death. St-nriinr Palmer, of Michigan, rncently HI an emissary to Asia to purchase Arabian horses.

The Lower Branch of Congress has l»oen mack demoralized by the long •J«iaalock, which was, broken only last Ttmrwiay, to pall itself together lot *ork as yet. It is hoyed however that •>ur lawmakers feel duly penitent for Hie wasted time o1 the past fortnight, Most of winch was spent in the most various farm of filibustering, and that they will endeavor to atone this week lor recent sins, by hard work. To-morrow is the <fey set for calling *p the Mills tariff bill. Its friends say »othing has been lost by delaying so ft»ng the great work of the session. Time was needed, not only for the * reparation of a bill, bat for the creation of a public sentiment that would fire* it through. Both of these objects, they say, have been attained. The revenue reformers expect a victory, whether they have sufficient reason to do so or not. Since I wrote you, the Senate, not perturbed in \he least by the House deadlock, has been moving along at its usual dignified peace. It has listened to tariff reform speeehes, high protection speeches, and speeches on the admission of Dakota to the Union, and the question of buying General Washington's sword. The Senate grew yery patriotic last Wednesday. After passing a bill to paf $10,000 tor a pair of swords which bad belonged to Gen. Shields, a bill to «rect a monument in Boston to Gen. Warren, who fell at Banker Hill in the war of the Revolution, and some other bills for monument* to other deceased generals, there came up a bill to purchase one of George Washington's «words from Miss Virginia Taylor Lewis at 120,000. Then followed a debate vrhich was half sublime and halt ridiculous, the sentimental and aommercial value of the relic being presented by Senators Evarts, Vest, Yoorhees, Hoar and Cockrell. The Senator from Missouri, Mr. Cockrell thouph it was a very expensive sword and wanted to know it there was any identification of it. The New York Senator (Mr. Evarts) who bad cbnrge of the measure, said its authenticity and its relation to the s*reat event ot the surrender of Washington's commission were indisputable. It could be seen in <be historical picture of that event. It had been ot use to the United States when used by its former owner, in that relation it had value. Asa mere scbbard and hlade it waanot worth much. It was one of the five swords mentioned in Gen. Washington's will and bequeathed to different ones ot his kmdred. Tne rirst ot them was that one which had the traditional credit of haying Keen presented to Washington bv Viedenck the Great, with the message that it was trom the oldest soldier in the world to the greatest general in the world. That sword was now wwned bv the State of New York, havnig beeu purchased (with other articles) tor the sum ot 130,000. Mr. Evarts said the price mentioned in the bill now boforo tho Senate- ($20,000) was that fixed by the representative of the lagatee of the Sword. The committee which reported the bill did not feel at liberty to cheapen the Sword. If anybody else were to cheapen it, it ought not be the Senator of the United States. But Senator Cockrell was not converted. He still insii*ed that the price asked was exorbitant. The Shields irwords were set with jewels and therefore had an intrinsic value. Mr. Everts here interposed that the price fixed had no relation at all to the money value of the blade, It was inestimable, it was the sword of Washington. Senator Cockrell was then reinforced by Senator Vert, who said he had no idea of voting to give 120,000 far this sword. If this bill were to pass, every relic ot even* other distinguished man would be brought here and Congress asked to buy it at an enormous price, A monument, the grandest in the world, had been erected to the memory «jf Washington, and one was being erected to the memory of hit mother. There wis a proposition before Confrees to instruct an ayeaue from this city to Mount Vernon at greet expense. In all sorts of ways the American people had tried to evidence their Yen- ©ration tor the "Father of bis Country" and Mr. Vest had no disposition to depreciate the gratitude and honor which every American citizen should teel for the memory of Washington, still he did not propose to pay the heir who wanted to make this sale, any such price for the sword. Senator Voorhees said be would just as soon vote $100,000 for this sword as any other sum. It was not a question of money. Senator Hoar suggested that Senator Vest amend the bill by substituting the price $7.50 for the $20,000. Mr. Vest replied that he had said nothing to justify such a suggestion. He had simply said that the price asked was enormous. If they wished to express their estimate ot the services ot Washington, tbey should make price oi that sword ten millions, or r&thcr, one hundred millions. Who, he asked, has brought that sword here as a matter of commerce? Who was willing to take money for that priceless relic? V 9* PROBATE ORDER.—State of Michigan, county of Livingston, ss.

Gentlemen: It is no doubt a pleasure to all manufacturers to be reminded ot the popularity of their goods— especially in far distant localities where they may not even know of shipments being made. Not a great while since, the writer made an extended journey ever Central America. In going from the Sula Valley, Honduras, toward the capital <*ity, Tegucigalpa, we stopped, toward noon, at a little hacienda about 160 miles irora the cost. Here we oncountered a number of pack mules, laden with wares destinid for Tegucigalpa. In examining these wares we were somewhat surprised to find that one of the mules was loaded down with boxes bearmer the familiar brand ol \T. f). Aver & Co., Lowell, Mass." It was like meptinpr an old acquaintance to encounter su<*h merchandise in that remote quarter. The boxes were strapped upon the back of the mule by a net work q| strong stands ot native pita, forming a package as large as the little beast which bore it. In thia way. however, these medicines had been transported oyer the dangerous passes of the Cordilleras for over 160 miles and were yet destined for a point further ahead. This was certainly a tribute to tne virtues ot your medicines, and is rendered still more emphatic when it is known that the almost impenetrable ranges of mountains of Honduras preclude the passage of any and every kind of vehicle, lequiring all transportation upon the backs of men or mrles. Yours truly, A. J. MILLER, Editor Evening Tribune. For nearly hall a century Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has been the most popular cough remedy in the world.

Matthew Arnold died In London on the 10th inst. of heart disease. Matthew Arnobd was 4W years of- age, having beerr born at Laleham, Dec. 24, 1822. His father, a man of some celebrity In his day, was the Rev. Dr. Arnold, head master of Kugby school. Dr. Arnold first attended school at Winchester, then at Rugby, and afterwards entere l Halllol college, at Oxford. Here he obtained a scholarship in 1840, and three years later won the N'ewdigate prize by a poem on "Cromwell." The following year he graduate I with honors, and in 1845 obtained a fellowship in Oriel college. This position he held for ten years. In 18(19 the University of Edinburgh conferred upon him the degree of LI. I). The year following he received the same dcrree from the oxford university. Tho king of Italy a few years afterward nominated him "Commander of tho Crown of Italy." Of his numerous literary works "Literature and 1) Rraa" is probably best known to people of Amprlc. It is not, however, regarded by his admirers as the best product of his pen. They claim that it is in the realm of 1 oetry and criticism he appears to best advantage.

The jury in the suit of David S. Fotheringham against the Adams express company for damages for lalse imprisonment on trial in St. Louis, Mo., after being out three hours and a half, agreed on a verdict of $:0,000 for the plaintift. The caso grew out of the "Jim Cuinmings" express robbery on the 'Frisco road in 188', when one of the robbers boarded the car, bound the messenger'and secured $5:5,000. The three robbers. Wittrock, Haight and Weaver, were captured in Chicago in the winter of 1887 and 541,000 of the stolen money was recovered. The men confessed, exonerating tho express messenger, Fotheringham, who had been held, and, as it seemed to the jury, hounded by W. H. bamsell, the agent of the company, and rinkerton's detectives.

WbW i ho neck may be said to be merely a flexible member, placed between the shoulders and the head (or the purpose of carrying the latter and enabling the horse to see the way clearly to the right and left, and reach the ground or the branches overhead for food, that part to which it attaches at Its base, the shoulder, cats a very important figure in the horse's value and durability, no matter what character of service he is assigned to. As is well known to most persons, the more upright shoulder is preferred for draft, because the force is required to be expended in a forward, horizontal direction, while the slanting shoulder throws the forco of the exertion upon the lower part, or shoulder point Hence, if a horse is selected with a slanting shoulder, and put to drawing loads, it will be found that the horizontal effort will throw the lower portion of the collar upward against the lower portion of the neck, pressing upon the windpipe, creating distress in breathing. But for road work, speeding or for the saddle, no matter how worthy the animal may be in other respects, the upright shoulder prevents efficient service, aud it matters not how attractive the horse may be in other ways, he cannot put himself into a form that is prevented by big makeup, nor show a swinging gait and a good ieach, likening his foreleg to a pendulum, with this restricted in its movements, because not swinging freely forward and backward, at its upper attachments. In selecting a horse for hard driving, or for use under the saddle, it should be borne in mind that the greater the angle represented by the position of the scapula, or shoulder blade, giving obliquity to the shoulder, the less is the concussion put upon the shoulder under violent exertion, because the less upright the shoulder is. and the less the force is applied directly in the line of bone and muscles, the less spring and elasticity there arc in that direction. After passing upon the shoulder of the horse, it is well to look between the forelegs, tit their attachment with the shoulder. In selecting ft horse for any purpose other than draft, a very wide breast should be avoided, for in most cases a horso with this formation will paddle when he trots—a defect which should consign him to glow draft For active service the breast should not be over medium width, and the forelegs should be reasonably close together. Between the forelegs and close up to the body the space should be so tilled with muscle as to form a pointed arch rather than to show a wide space, as the case of the draft horse. An arm wide at its junction with the shoulder, rendered so by full development of muscles on the rear and interior portion of the arm, should always be sought for the opposition formation is always attended by want of precision, power and activity in the movements of the forelegs.—Practical Farmer.

CHAPTER VI (COXTINUKD). ••Oh, rubbish!" returned Jack short ly. ''Here, Tremaine," to a young fellow near them talking to a pretty girl, "let us make up a set;1' and as soon as it was arranged he began playing energetically, but yet was conscious of every movement that other girl in the white and scarlet made, each word she uttered, each laugh that rang out on the soft summer breeze, and when ho saw her, in trying to strike a ball, give an awkward turn and fall to the ground, he was in an instant by her side. " et me help you up," he exclaimed offering his hand. "No; don't touch me," she returned in low tones, becoming deathly white "Are you hurt?" he asked tenderly, still bending over her, much to Miss Langdon's disgust. "ies—no; that is, my foot has come to grief." *«You are lying on it-making it worse. Let me lift you?" * No," faintly yet firmly; l,keep away. I don't wish you to touci me " "That's pretty plain peaking/' he said with a little pained laugh as he rose lo his feet. "It never struck me before that 1 was a loathsome reptile." "You maybe to some people,"she retorted, half wild with pain and wretchedness. "Thank you." "Captain Drew," turning a pair of imploring blue eyes on that individul, "please help mo up and get me a chair." "Are you hurt?" enquired the young man, springing to her assistance with alacrity, and ondoring why she refused Norbury's aid, tor though he could not hear what they said, he saw from her gestures that she declined his help. "I think so," very faintly; and then as he lifted her for a moment she rested on the foot, ami tho pain was so excruciating that her head fe'l back on his shoulder, and she fainted. Drew was over s x ieet. and proportionately broad, and he If ted the light figure with the greatest ease, and bore her rapidly towards the house, Jack following closely on his heels, and envying the privilege of carrying such a precious burden clasped in his arms Mrs Morton gave a little affected shriek when /the young man ontered her boudoir,/ard after a few words of explanation,*, had her carried to her room, while Jack dashed off for the doctor. When he arrj ed he pronounced the injury to be a bad sprain, and ordered Meg not to i.se her foot for at least a week an order which she heard with a feeling little short of dismay, as^ she felt she could not do her "daily dutWl>y Hdrothy, and that at first she would not br. able to go to Mr. Norbury of an evening. But he sent her a kind message, and said she was not to worry about it, and that he would be very glad to eee her when she was able to go to him. This comforted her a little, still she fretted considerably at not being able to minister to his comforts, for she had grown very fond of the eccentric old and K new ho would miss her. 8o she tried her hardest to get well and on the third day was assisted / h j t w o of the ma;ds to a small library 4 * the same floor as her own room, and reclining on a sofa, she busied If on a smart musin pinafore she making for orothy, and watched all Mrs Morton sguo>ts*as they exerted themselves to lever heat at tennis. Ever one seemed grouped on the n t f l t w n , and it was therefore with a start •'*•' ' v*f surprise that she saw the door open and ack Norburv enter, and a sudden flood of color ilyod her pale cheeks crimson, and then receding, left them wh ter than before "None of your fr"finds are here,** she said, trying to steady her voice. "lam aware of that," he answered coolly; "or t should not have come here.' I have watched them go out there,"nodding towards the tennis nets, "~oncr by one, and hearing the coast was to m I car, came up herei." w» -Tor wtefir she Mked awghtily. *»tor two things.

"I—I - c a n ' t I do not wish to converse with you for twenty minutes," she turned nervously, her eyes wandering round the room as though seeking some means of escape from him, but there was none. She could not walk, and there he stood before her, tall, strong, immovable, for the time being, as fate itself. "I supposed that when I came here,1' he remarked, looking down at the beautiful pale face, with great tenderness in his grey eyes. "Then why force your society on me when you know it is very distasteful to meP" "Because I must speak to you. I want to explain " 'Explain!" she interrupted with superb scorn. "How can you explain your cruelty and treachery P" "Easily, if you will listen to me." 4 1 will not listen!" passionately. "Do not speak of the past It is full of painful memories for me. I cannot bear to think of it even. It is cruel, unmanly, of you to tear open afresh wounds that have but lately healed!" "Margaret, don't !" he exclaimed involuntarily, gazing at her with anguish-strained eyes. "I must-1 will!" she exclaimed vehemently. "Is it not enough that you robbed me of all happiness in the past! Must you now come like an evil shadow to dim the poor rest and happiness I now have? It is mean, cowardly, wicked! You left me; you have no right to come bac to me!" "No right but that my great love for you gives me," he said sadly. "Your great love!" she echoed mockingly, while a scarlet spot glowed in either cheek. "You never loved me! You fancied you did and now becauso others pay me attention it piques your vanity, and you wish to be one of those who pay attention to the pretty governess! You have no thought of the anguish that I shall suffer again—the agony of striving to forget!" ' Then you care for me stillP" he said eagerly, bending towards her, his handsome face aglow with delight. "Care for you still?" she repeated in astonishment. "I loathe and detest the sight of you!" "Oh, lieaven!" he groaned, his lips quivering convulsively. "And I love you now as I never loved you before— as I never dreamed I could love, with a power and passion that is new to me, and if unrequited will inevitably wreck and dostroy my life." "You fancy it, she returned coldly. 4 Even as you fancied you adored me in the old days The next pretty face you met would make you forget me." "As God is my witness you WTong me," he declared pass'onately. "My love for you is beyond control. I would give up everything I possess to gain a return." "Even the prospects of inheriting; your uncle's fortune?" she asked with cold disdain. "Even that," he answered firmly. " v\ hat a pity you did not arrive at this decision long ago," she answered. "It is," he agreed. "I know after the way I acted towards you, it will be very hard to prove how entirely disinterested and genuine my love for you now is." "Impossible!" was the only word she vouchsafed to utter. "Nay, not impossible," h- remonstrated gently. "I shall hope to win youjback to your old allegiance.' "The she answered idly. hope is vain,'M "'You are hard and upforgiving." *%? "And can you wonder at that?" she asked with a sudden blaze of passion. "Think of how you left me-helpless, friendless, to face the world, without making a single effort to disc ver if L were starving or not—" "You wrong me," he interrupted quickly. "I came back to Brussels to ask your forgiveness to let things ' eas they had been, and found you gone, and not the least trace of you whereabouts to be found/' "No wonder." she said with a queer little break in her voice. "I was in the hospital, a pauper paitient " "Margaret!" he exclaimed in horror. "It is true," she reurned quietly. "My money was all spent—I was pen niless, and—" "And vou never told me," reproachfully.

"Had you any pity for me?" • No; 1 treated you infamously." "And you seem inclined to continue that treatment," she sa;d wearily "After innumerable hardships I got a Elace as companion. My experiences ave rot been pleasant. Here : am comfortable—and happy. I therefore^ beg of you to go away and leave me in peace. If you do not, I must again face the world and struggle against numberless difficulties." "Don't!" he, ejaculated. "I will go - I will not even speak to you while l am here, though I have the right to make you bend to my will," ••You have forfeited that right" she answered faintly, every vestige of co'or dying out of her soft cheek "Not in the eyes of the law," he returned frantically '•You will not use your power?" sho asked imploringly. "No." he said slowly and sadly; "I will not use my power. I will leave you free;" and turning he left the room, and she, buryinglier face in the soft cushions, sobbed as though her heart would break.

Tomato plants should be set out about the 1st of June; the ground should have been made very rich, and if it is kept free from weeds, no further attention will be required. Just before frost the vine may be taken up with all the earth that can be kept adhering to the root and transfered to tho cellar, where all the full-grown tomatoes not already picked will ripen., The essuvist has seen perfeot ripe tomatoes Of the most excellent quality on the table at Thanksgiving, which had bee n ripened In this way. There are BO many good varieties of this vegetable that it is hard to make a selection. Three or four dozen plants may be required in order to furnish a good supply all summer; they should be Bet 8 feet a part and will occupy about two rows' such as described— Vick's Magazine. Watering Horae*. The water given a horse should be pure. Do not have the well in the barnyard, for the wash will soak into it and pollute the water. If a running brook of clean water be convenient, lead the horse to drink from it A good cistern can be made of a large liogsheah sunk half-way into the ground, and the water from the barn roofs led into it will be preferable for tho horse than very cold well water. A horse needs at least two pails of water a day, and if given half a pailful before meals, or four times a day, it will be sufficient unless when hard at work in sultry weather. Do not give warm water at any time of the year, but the chill may be taken off in winter, so that it will not be icy. Do not water or feed directly after coming in very warm, and do not work hard immediately after eating heartily.— American Agriculturist. Products Retained on tne Farm. The value of a crop does not depend entirely on the market price, but partly upon the uses to which the crop is applied. A corn crop, if sent to market, may bring but little more than the cost of its production; but it is equivalent to a certain amount of raw material, which cau be converted into some other product more in demand, Buch as beef, mutton, milk, pork or poultry. Nor can the real value of the crop be estimated by the amount received for the meats sold, as a large portion of the crop is left over and retained in the shape of manure. Careful experiments have been made in order to determine the amount of potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid left in the manure after tho food has passed through the bodies of animals, but no certain results can be obtained owing to differences iu the digestive capacity of animals, though in trials of two weeks duration, where green fodder and grain have been fed, it was found that 62 per cent of all nitrogen, 88 per cent of all tho phosphoric acid and 63 per cent of all the potash remained in the manure. This shows that the food is only partially digested and assimilated, and that the value of the crop must be considered not only in regard to its market prico and its product but also to its future use in providing a second crop. Where concentrated foods, such as linseed and cottonseed meals, are used the value of the manure is still greater, t h e ^^^^ ^ frozen. It w.ll save time and if the prices obtained for meat and a n d ia b o r i a t e r oaf milk be no greater than the cost of food and lal>or the manure alone will give a large profit, as frpm 25 to 40 per cent of the food used is retained on tho farm in the manure, and the larger the proportion of nitrogen in the feed (as with linsed meal) the greater the value of tho manure in proportion to its weight If the total value of a ton of linseed Tnea+ be estimated at $66r the feeding value may be stated at $32,^ and tho manurial value at $28, but corn meal gives a feeding value at $23 out of a total of $30, leaving $7 to be returned in the manure- If the manure be not retained on the farm, but sold at its real value, it would, therefore, be as much a product of the food as meat or milk, but it is more economical to retain >t for the reason that its romoval adds to its cost. Many cattle foods are really cheaper than their manurial value, and may be appl ed directly to the laud, but this depends upon the qualitv of the soil and its deficiency in any particular element The value of the manure to the land depends upon its preponderance of some special element Potash manures are valuable on nitrogenous soils, but possess little value on soils abounding in potash, and all these matters are to bo cousidered in the final estimates. —Philadelphia Record.

Gamber and wife would move to McBnde, their former home. In boner of their departure, some ot their most intimate friends planned a surprise on this worthy couple. About one hundred ol the friends they have gained during their stay here were invited, and met at the postoffice on Friday evening last, and about eitrht o'clock they journeyed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J, Chappell, where they were staying, and came in upon them unexpectedly, it had been carried out so cleverly that they had not heard a word of. the occasion, but neverthe less, after a few moments were allowed then} to realize what had happened, they were prepared to assist in carry iug out the remainder of the evening program. After the usual amount of games and social visits were enjoyed, a delicious and splendid repast, prepared by the lady guests, was relished by the company. After this important inlertainment had been done away with, Mr. and Mrs. Gamber were escorted to the parlor, and in behalf of the company present, Re7. 0. B. Thurston, with a few appropriate remarks, presented them with a fine upholstered rocking chair and a beautiful tea pot as a token of esteem and rememberanee in which they were held by the citizens ot this village. The givers were heartily thanLed by the Dr. and »vite for the presents, and w'ere also thanked for the honorable way in which they had been used during their residence here. At about midnight the party di.-pursed for their several homes, feeling much pleased in trre mann" r they had been entertained during the evening, and wishing Mr and Mrs. Gamber much success in their new home. A fire was started on J. 0 . Mackinder's marsh a few days ago and if the people of Unadilla had not turned out and put it out, L>. A. Chapman's house and barn would have been burned. The rascal that started it had better stay at home after this. It was laid to the owner of the marsh but it was not him, but the scamp that has been troubling the people so much for the last three or four years. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

By permission of our genial postmistress, we have placed a sma'l box in the postoffice and have so arranged that those who will, may put any and all local news into the same. This is to save running up to the printing office, and we think it will be more convenient. We kindly ask and sincerely hope that each and every one of our readers will contribute some news each week. It will aid us in publishing one of the best local papers in this part of the country. Do not be afraid to write something, so that it will be interesting. We would also ask those who write to sign their name to the bottom ol the communication, not for publication, but so that we may know that the writer is faithful. We will hare u Pickel Factory. Although at first it was very doubtful whether the farmers in this vicinity would have the benefit of a pickel factory, and that a building would be erected in this village to be used for the above named enterprise, but by the aid of some of our mo3t enerfetic business men, who worked hard to secure the required one hundred acres of land to be planted to cucumbers, we have gained this enterprise. The company, Williams Bros, & Chatbonnus, of Detroit, will erect a suitable building near the depot. The seed will lie furnished to those wishing to raise this vegetable in time for planting. We would say to those who have already volunteered to plant a quantity ot ground to encumbers and wi«h to increase ths amount, or it there are any who wish to plant any amount, they should inform C. N- Plimpton at once. Now, farmers, it lays with you whether this enterprise proves a profitable one to you or nol. It is our opinion that if the farmers will do all they can to raise the vegitable it cannot fail. We hope to see a large crop raised this year, and if this is done we may receiye the whole canning outfit, The cucumber seed furnished by the piekeling firm is D. M. Ferry's Early White Spine.

He lias tho soft skin, black eyes, graceful Minks and the good looks of his countrymen, and he cuts quite a figure In swell s clety, He lias one peculiarity that detracts somewhat from his beauty and makes him the subject of frequent remark at all evening assemblies. His curly black hair lb very thin on top of his head. He combs his hair up from tins base of Ids skull, spreads it out In thin strips and actually pastes It over the top of his head. So long as his raven locks remain in position the ruse succeeds, but frequently the strands become separated and his head then appears with alternate stripes of black and white. The remarkable curl that hangs down the center of the Greek minister's forehead, however, is what attracts most attention. This heavy lock of black curly hair falls over the forehead and actually rests on the nose of the swell diplomat. —. ^ . Gentlemen who cherish an ambition for public siatlon and would like to run for the legislature without incurring the risk of defeat would do well to settle in Texas. According to "Tho Livingston Pinery.''

A recent session of the senate was opened svitb prayer by l'ev.

A thousand letters a day pass through her hands, but she deals only with the addresses. A Washington man who had his nose broken by a base ball last year wants 85,000 damages to open this season with.

It 1« No M o r e u M y t h T h o u t h e H u n - k e r IUII M o n u m e n t . T h e Rev. S. H. Roberts, of Kalgnn, north China, writes to Tlu Missionary Herald t h a t to one who has lived close by tho g r e a t Chinese wall, seeing it every day, and often climbing over it a u d e x a m i n i n g it minutely, it is very a m u s i n g to see its xislonee questioned. H e sa.vs that thewall is no more a m y t h than are Iho pyramids of E g y p t or t h e B u n k e r hiVTmonument Ho gives this interesting description of it: "As one gqes n o r t h w e s t from Peking" he first sees tho g r e a t wall when in the Naukou pass, at a distance of thirtyseven miles from Peking. It is m a d e of earth, faced with several l a y e r s of large brick, and rests on a foundation of cut stone, like the walls a r o u n d cities commonly seen in China. B u t this wall asserts its individuality by s t r e t c h i n g r i g h t a w a y on each side of the valley, u p steep sol pes. and from peak to peak, till it is lost to view at tho top of those high and p ' c t u r e - esquo mountains. One sees at a gJanco what herculean efforts must have been put forth to raiso so much oriok a n d m o r t a r to such heights and build it there—a g r e a t w o r k of national defense at tho time, and a wonder for all subsequent ages to behold. "Going u p the valley one sees several forts built like the great wall, but n o t e x t e n d i n g far u p the mountains. At the s u m m i t of tho pass is a n o t h e r branch of the wall, which follows the highest ridgo of tho great m o u n t a i n chain, s t r e t c h i n g off to right and left as far as one can see, climbing every peak of the divide. T h e wall here is not mucli ruined, and has about the dimensions given in Williams 'Middle Kingdom1 —namely, twenty-five feet thick at base, liftocn feet thick at top, and fifteen to thirty feet high. The varying height is due to the fact t h a t the top of the wall does not follow all tho inequalities of level at the base. Oil the south side are a few arched doorwax s, to a d m i t t h e soldiers who were to defend it. As one passes tho little city of C h ' a Tao, a n d follows the road t o w a r d Kalgan, he begins to~cross—n gravelly plain'about twentv miles wide. T h e n looking back toward tho east he has a distant but fine view of the g r e a t wall. If the weather is good the wall almost gleams in tho sunshine, extending like a light g r a y ribbon a l o n g the ridge of tho mountains, w a v i n g up and down, reaching from summit to summit, surmountud at its highest points by a square tower that stands out against the sky, dofying wind and weather, as it once, delied tho Mongol hordes. Tho wall stretches a way from Ch'a Toa to tho southwest, and the oyo can follow it for twenty or thirty miles, except where it crosses deep valleys or is hidden behind tho H e a r e r p e a k s . At the foot of the m o u n t a i n s is a row of towers only about two hundred feet apart, which the eyo can trace for a distance of nearly thirty in.les, to a point where it enters a valley and is lost to sight a m o n g Iho m o u n t a i n s . " Mr. Roberts mentions nine different points at whicli he lias crossed and carefully examined Hie great wall, the extreme distance between these [joints being over 260 miles. THE WOMEN OF COREA.

As to tho first point, this shyness seems constitutional. T h e r e is a limit to it, for, like most shy people, the Coreans are n o f incurious. A Dutch craft was Wrecked n e a r tho coast of Corea in the latter half of the seventeenth century, aud tho sailors, whoso n a r r a t i v e may be r e a d in several books of old travel, found themselves the object of much inquisitive observation. E v e n tho women and children were eager to see t h e outlandish navigators, m o r e especially as the D u t c h m e n were r e p u t e d to be of a m o n s t r o u s race who, w h e n they d r a n k , were obliged to twist their long noses round their ears. N o such r e p o r t heralded the journey which Mr. Carles mado into the interior, yet he was received with polite a t t e n t i o n a n d interest everywhere!. " T h e m o r e I have seen," he says, "of tho C o r e a n s , tho m o r e fully h a v e 1 appreciated their politeness t o w a r d s their guests and the dignity of their behavior." But lie saw noxt to nothing of tho w o m e n of t h e country, try w h o m be w a s carefully nvoided. Even some little girli whom he found s w i n g i n g in a field fled at his first a p p r o a c h . His inability t o tell u s about the w o m e n of Corea is especially to be r e g r e t t e d on account of the s t r a n g e position they hold.

D. BENNETT, EDITOR A»D PROPRIETOR flncuney, Michigan. Tnnrnoay, May 8d, 1888 Washington Letter. From Our Correspondent. WASHINGTON MAY 2d, 1888. By far the moat important event in Congress since I last <*rote you was the inauguration of t b e long contemplated tariff debate which took place on last Tuesday with becoming dignity and decorum. T h e opening speech tor revenue reform w a s made by Mr. Mills, of Texas, as- Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and was called a masterpiece by biBsympathizera on the tariff question. The reply r«>rv appropriately came irom J u d g e Kelly, of Pa., the senior member of Congress and the acknowledged leader and exponent of protection. The discussion promises to b« ion# continued and exhaustive, and it will not he surprising if the public finds its patience somewhat worn before a vote is reached, although Mr. Mills, in speaking of his cherished measure, remarked enthusiastically: " W e are in earnest, we will actively push it to a final vote, and we will pass it before the meeting of the St. Louis Presidential Nomination Conrention." The House of Representatives spent most of the past week in working with gratifying energy on appropriation b i l k It is trying to dispose of these current financial concerns in order to give its time exclusively afterward to the inspiring tariff discussion. The Pension appropriation bill and the Indian appropriation bill have been safely parsed, and now the River and Harbor appropriation is under consideration. - The Pension bill appropriates $80,- 286,500, being an increase i.r!?l,.r)15 0U0 over the appropriations of last y v r . These are large figures, but I suppose nobody will regret the expenditure, so long as it is carefully limited to those who honestly earned tins recognition by the Government. Tbe River and Harbor lull does not Lave (smooth sailing. Some members bAsem to think that tbe appropriation a u g h t to be distributed among the States according to tbe number of their water front or the hnerat length of their rivers or creeks, without any particular regard to t i n needs of commerce. They object to the mighty Mississippi, wbich has never received the attention it deserved from the Government, having so much. The trouble seems to be in hrintriny Congressmen to understand that what ever the Government spends for internal improvements should bear so-mf reasonable proportion to the calculable commercial advantages wbich they carry with them. The River and Harbor bill is not in the character of a gratuity to the States, but of a business investment for the general welfare. After a lively political debate which reverted to the electoral controversy of 1876, the bill for the admission of South Dakota as a state passed the Senate. It is not expected to pass the House however.. The1 impression is strengthening at the Capitol that party lines will be Ptrictly drawn upon the Fisheries treaty-a-nd that its ratification U_imthat i t is too bulky & body to do better. Representative Tillman,,otSouth Carolina, has j u s t come to tfefc front with a different theory. He says that onr National Legislature, considering the size of this country, with its vast and varied population, is altogether too small. He does not think that the interests of sixty million of people can be properly cared for by four hundred legislators. In bis opinion the House of Representatives should have at least MIX hundred members and the Senate no less than three hundred, and n support ot this proposition Mr. Tillman cited the fact that the British House of Lords has 560 members and the House of Commons 670. Mr. Tillman very ably advocated bis side of the question. But there is much that can be said on both sides, and many people in this country believe that the public business could be greatly facilitated, the danger of wasteful deadlocks diminished, and the mischiet ot sectional combinations done away with by cutting down the number of membeis. posvsible. It is probable that a considerable porton of this week will be spent behind closed doors by the Senate discusssing this treaty. Much of itwill be of a partisan character and will be made public by order ot the Senate and published in the Congressional Record. Secretary Bayard was anxious for the treaty to be discussed m open session because he thought the inore the people knev*about the treaty the more popular it would become. Friday last was t h e lOOlh day of the present session of Congress. The bills and resolutions introduced to that date aggregate 12.363, which is over 2,000 more than the total number introduced during the first hundred days of the )H<\, ('nngi'e><. The Senate has passed 831 bills and the House 427. The House has sent 185 bill to the President and the Senate 24. So as Conjnvssefl go the work ot the Fiftieth is Nothing to be ashamed of so far, after nil. For y_e.a.rs...jmt__ivh.en Congress lias not worked fast it has been theeStstom to excuse and forgive it,, on the ground A dry, hacking cough keeps the bronchial tubes in a state of constant irritation, which,' if not speedily removed, may lead to bronchitis. No prompter remedy can be had than Ayre'e Cherry Pectoral, which is both an anodyne and expectorant. Renews Her Youth. Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co., Iowa, tells the following remark able story, the truth ot which is vouched for bv the residents of the town: "I am 73 years old, have been troubled with kidney complaint and lameness for many y ars; could not dress myself without ifelp. Nrow I am free from all pain and sorene>s, and am able In do all my own housework. I owe my thanks to Electric Bitters tor having renewed mv youth, and removed completely all disease and pain," Try a bottle, 50c. and $1. at F. A. Sigler's Drug ;?tor?. ST A T E OF MICHIGAN.

In the spring when farm work' presses, and we are anxious to get in' tbe seed, there is a constant temptation to sow or plant betore making the ground as fine and mellow aa our bet* ter judgment telU us is necessary. Patience^Ts the greatest of all virtues;, hut with the farmer in the spring1 it must be an actire energetic patience. After the crop is in he waits patiently. But before sowing we must be on our' guard against the kind of impatience that results in hasty and imperfect preparation ot the land. Oat* can be sown on land early in' the spring without much harrowing,, and we presume this is true of spring wheat. But barley requires the best ot tilth, and tbe barrows must be kept at work till the surface is fine and mellow.- Harrowing and rolling require morecareful attention than is usually bestowed upon them. We do not roll to make tbe land firm. Harrowing will make the land firmer than it can be made, except on the surface, by a roller. We roll to break the lumpa. The roller will not crash lumps that it cannot reach, and so we barrow to break some of the lumps and to pnll the others to tbe surface, leaving it rough, and then follow with a roller.

Ho led the way to a large room on the top floor of the house which was occupied by busy girls, and introduced 'the visitors to the forewoman. " T h e leaves," explained the forewoman, "come up to us from the beat ing-room. We remove them from between the leaves of the mould so as to keep their surface as Hat as possible, throw out those that are faulty, cut the good ones into squares with this cutter, which we style a ' wajjon,' and then insert the finished squares in these tissuepaper books. It looks very simple, but it takes a bri_ht girl six weeks to learn, and most men never can iearn. Just see how nicely that girl does her work! " The girl in question, who was pretty and energetic, opened a mould, and with a pair of long wooden pincers seized the gold 1:1m, which at that ,-tage resembled a round begonia leaf with all its rib work interfacings and rough edge. With one sweep of the hand she transferred it to the wooden desk before her. There was some t'aw in it, and she pushed if in o an open drawer that was iioored w r h what had been sirniliarly'rejected during the day. A second leaf proved perfect. She grasped the "<< agon'' that is nothing more or h ss than four sharp knifeedges set in a square and pressed it o n ' t h e loaf. With the pincers she disengaged the irregular surface that projected beyond the' " w gon," and pushed it into the drawer. The "wagon" was raised and disclosed a iinishedJeaf, Then with tlTe pinceis she threw it in one turn of the wrist to a small tissue paper book. It struck the paper very much as a sheet carelessly thrown at a bed by the average chambermaid. A pat of the pmcers, two sharp blowings of the breath, and the gold ' Im was in its proper place and condition. "It is not a very trying business " said the girl, " after you know it well. The only drawback is you'acc got to have the room always at a summer heat, and can never have any draft, • ot even in mid-August.

H o w lie Hold AVlitsky, D«alt F a r o , Hiid A d m i n i s t e r e d Ju»ttce —What Feet* He Allowed IIIn Constable. In the corridors of the St. James last night*, Huvs Tite New York Graphic, was Mart Slattersou, of Colorado, who knows uioro about Leadville and the m nes of the state than most of the other men among the mountains and foothills. He was evidently waiting for somebody, and before long his friend arr ved. It was Jake Lapensteiu, of Philadelphia, the president of the Minnie Mine company. Jake and Mart swapped stories for some time in the cafe together, and then Jake, who had not yet contributed his quota either in fluids or conversation, said: "If some of you fellows will call the waiter again and give an order I will tell you a story about the old times in Leadvillo." "When Leadville was nothing more than a mining camp I was there and hunting, like everybody else, for a fortune. I hadn't much headway, and was down to my last dollar, when Joe Johnson, of Camden, an old time sport, came along and opened a saloon and faro bank'. We wanted a justice of the peace, to have some semblance of order in town, and put the job up for Joe and ho was elected, Ho kept his oflice back of his faro bank, which was in the rear of the saloon. I was made the constable, and the new justice and im self bought a big law book and fixed up the lines and penalties in great shape. It was to bo share and share alike between us, and Joe said he would .to better than tho fellows who were digging for pay dirt in the hills around the I own, "We had not laid tho law-book away behind the Oar'ten minutes w hen there was a big r u m p u s outside the saloon. A couple of miners had g o t into a fight and the shooting was going on at a great rate. Neither of thum was hurt and I hauled them into court at the rear of the faro-bank. "All the boys crowded into tho room to see Joe dispose of his flrs'fcaso. He was dealing in Hie bank. I went in and told him I had a couple of prisoners in ifie ofHco. " 'You're big enough au't you? said he, \suppose v-ou-holdr-t-hem there half an hour, for 1 am wny loser on this deal.' 'They were two ugly-looking characters, so I just yanked them into the faro-room, sat them down on a bench, and kept mv six-shooter in my hand. In the meantime Joe had made several tloals with no better success, and final lv he turned ii]) the box savagely and shouted out to the bar-keeper to brin^ him tho law book that was in the saloon on top of the beer-keg. Th en be called tho prisoners to him and steadied his book on the bank-box. " T h e good citizens of this camp don't want no lighting here, and t h e y mean to' stop it. You hear me?' said Joe, and then he road tho pen alties which he and I had settled upon as the proper figures in such cases. Tho n he looked sternly aL I hem. •"How" much stuff have you got in your clothes?" was Joe's next question. "Both of them went down iuto their pockets, but the outcome did not please the justice. One of them produced $3 in monev, the other had a silver nugget worth about $10. Joe was mad and he went through them himself. He found another nugget and about $20 in cash, lie took tho p i e and threw it into the faro-bank drawer, " 'Let s all have something.' he said, nnd we walked out to the barand^vere served with the best in tiie house. "Now, throw these fellows out,' was the order of the justice, and I hurried "The Boston .lournal" tells of a man who recently died In New England who began life as a telegraph operator, engaged in ship building, became a comld have taught it to my children in j mander of ships and made many voyages. rn.

Made lots of money, (lot into i he Silver Cord mine, was elected to the legislature, and was one of the men who voted for tho bilk last year to abolish gambling in Leadville." Cruel Kindness. Tho Servians are said to be the most unmusical people in iauope. One English traveler, at least, can give emphutio testimony to that effect, from an experience of his own while visiting the British diplomatic agent at Belgrade. It was some twenty years ago, and the great garrison was iu t h e hands of tho T n r k s . corumuuded by a wealthy old pasha, Ali Kiza. This personage, unfortunately, took a fancy t o the Englishman, and, after entertaining him at a banquet, early next morn ing sent a baud, composed of at least forty musicians, to delight his ears with some of the national a rs of/Turkey. The Efl'endi was sleeping peacefully when the hideous din o r ' t h o "March of Sultan Achmet" burst upon his ears. He says: "The first thought that Hashed across my bew ldered brain, as 1 started up in bed, was that I had been shot out of a gun of large calibre; the next that the end of all things was at hand. "Collecting my scattered wits, at the expiration of a few hideous seconds, I got upon my feet and staggered to the window. There they wero, forming a hollow double circle, in the center of^which stood the gorgeous band-master, leading—with his hand in lieu of a baton—two score of swarthy, wiry, deep-chested fellows, blowing, beating and jingling at high pressure, and looking as if they could go on doing all those unnumbered things for uncounted hours. "I may say with truth that I had never entirely realized what cymbals were capable of in the way of poisoning human happiness until 1 heard that band play; nor had 1 been aware that any tune could be harmonized in such sort that ils accompaniment should consist exclusively of discords. "Presently the band-master, looking upward in a spasm of inspiration brought on by a more than usually deadly dissonance—at that part eular moment the-brasses were playing sU-nultaneously in at least six different keys —caught sight of my face at the window. "Instantly a lurid smile illumined his tawny coLitiieuance; Jio_.waved Ins hand more frantically than before, and spoke some word of power to lus bandsmen, the immediate result of which was an explosion of noise to which their previous achievements in that line had borne the. relations of a whisper to an eruption of Vesuvius." The Englishman was at that moment visited by his host, who explained lo him, necessarily at this top of his voice, that this fearful din would last at least an hour and a half; that etiquette demanded that the recipient of tho compliment should -remain in sglit during the entire perod, and that ho should offer the baud a sum of money equivalent to about twenty-five dollars as hr.ikahish. The next day tho martyr-guest w a s compelled to visit tho pasha to thank him for the music, "such," he emphatically and truthfully observed, "as he had never before heard nor dreamed of in his life." * "You cannot know how it rejoices mo that you should appreciate our stir- . ring melodies," said tho old Turk, his countenance beaming with delW'ht. •'You shall hear one or two of them again now, and every morning they shall greet your waking ears." So, to the visitor's horror, tho band was again'assembled, and his previous torture repeated. The latter part of the Turk's proposal, however, was not carried out. for tho Englishman left Belgrade the next, morning, literally driven away. — Ex. He Knew the Size.

The physician, ignorant of t h e cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, b u t probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A puiper. medicine, like Drc.

T h e tariff is the all-absorbinpr topic of Congrefiwoial debate, and people you never knew were iH the House of flepresentattvt* prior to this oratorical overture, a r e bringing forth aecient history, dead arguments and bad g r a m m a r with a fecundity that *s astonishing. There is one never d_nntf beauty about the tariff; it has two sides, so that it can always be argued without converting any one. Qf course every number has long a g o made u p his mind bow he will vote * n d is merely waiting lor the conclu* sion of the oratory, to deposit his ver- •dict Coagressaren Springer and Brewer had it pretty well to themselves on Saturday, a n d r a n g all the usual changes. When I was a very little boy and was .taken to see Congress because I was sickly and must be humored, and came away much weaker from the sight, I remember vaguely that they were talking about the tariff. I think J u d g e Kelley was talking that day, and aecordmg to the program he will speak again this week on the same <endles& topic. This session o' Congress, or rather the remainder ot this cession is to be devoted exelusively to the preparation of campaign material. Representative Osborne's House bill to define the necessary and allowable expenses incident to the nomination and election of Senators and Representatives is occasioning considerable discussion. These necessary expenses are enumerated under three ha&lis; printing and traveling dissemination of information to the public; political meetings and conventions, The members of the committee repotting the bill agree that it would abolish many practices that "embarrass candidates and debauch electors." The committee exhibit a charming unanimity in avowing that the cost of comilix'to Congress at present is exe<.s-ive. Hut With all this bill's great promise, thei e are not wanting cynical members who believe that the bill should aUn prot i d e that the millenium immediately ensue that its enforcement be'possible. I saw Minister Phelps and Representative William Walter Phel| his> soul. T h e galleries will be crowded to bear what it is. Arcadian racing weather, a fine track and strings of horses fit to r u n for their live* are sufficient attractions to tempt a great many Congressmen to a tew days absence from legislative labors. This week's racing at Ivy City ---the Washingtou r a c e c o u r s e - b r i n g s out the usual crowd of old timers, together with some new turfites. Of course Senator Joe Blackburn is there and although his Kentucky education leads him to back "blood" instead of "condition," and this makes sorry losings, there is only a faint twitching of the lips under his heavy moustache when his horse tails to win. Quite as certainly, Representative "Archie" Bliss of Brooklyn, with a knowing look and a big cigar, is on band, ready to back his opinions. Then there are a number of new Congressmen who do not know vo much about thoroughbreds, and who be mildly. By lucky accident one in a dozen wins and is as happy apparently.yin his consciousness of triumph, as if lite had been unanimously returned by a delighted constituency. Is Consumption Incurable. Read the following: Mr. C. 11. Morns, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lung*, and friends and physicians pronounced mo an incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's .New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption i tvould have died of buns' Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it.

M r . ^Phelps, Minister to England, was -dressed m con'vential suit of solemn-' black, wort; mutton chop side whiskers in the, dp i proted English fashion, and had nn absent searching- tor -the-Su pre me bench expression in his mild eve. Hut Mr.. Phelps, of New Jersey, was arrayed as Solomon would be if he. lived in tins day; a dark, striped sack j coat; wide light trousers; deep, red | necktie,—and banned hair. Yes, his hair did look too girlish for anything. And yet there is no trurer friend, no warmer enemy, and few brighter men i than William Walter Phelps. He is] a dude only in appearance. [ Pension legislation is livelier than ever before in the history of Congress, j Tbe bill to Pension the widow of Gen- j eral Iticketts at $100 per month, j aciended by the House to §75, came! back to the Senate and went to confer- , «oca committee on Wednesday. These bills for the pensioning at .special rates of officers widows meet considerable opposition trom both parties. It is argued that the nations debt is as great to the private's widow as to the offtoer's, and that one General's widow should hot receive as much as a dozen of her humbler sifters are, allowed. A very hot fight may be expected when thl bill comes back from the committee. ThaSeriate, during the delivery of Senator Voorhees1 reply to Senator Ingalls last Vfttk woke u p and was really Alive for a while. Senator Voor hc.es nmde a very careful resume ot Senator Ingalls' speech on the pension que-,. tibn. T h e effort was well sustained. and whatever one: spolitics may be, is worth reading as a literary production. Hbw i t will be regarded by the Senatrfr's Indiana constituents is, however, an 'open" question. Senator Ingalls bas announcedthkfc'tomorrow he will Jfcve something to s a t to•• the Senntor # 0 » .

Martin made the trade, giving the balance, |25, iri cash. The purchaser of the cow drove the animal to the south part of Webster and sold her to John Vaughn for 115. and then vanished. The note turns out to be bogus. Vaughn gave Martin ba.:k his cow upon the pay- ', ment of the $15, making a total of $4$ that he is out on the trade.—1\ maj be well for our farmer friends to ldok ' out for these precious swindlerB and rogues.

The democratic state convention was held in Grand Kapids on the 10th inst. After prayer by Kev. Dr. Cami)bell Fair of Grand Kapids (Jen. h. G. Rutherford was called to the chair. He was afterward naniod as permanent chairman of tho convention, and Peter Kush was chosen permanent secretary. Tire committee on resolutions presented the following, which was adopted: The democratic citizens of Michigan, by their delegates in state convention at Grand Kapids assembled, acting with all voters in accord with the national administration, in its efforts to reduce taxation to the legitimate wants of the government, economically'administered, do declare: 1. We believe, now as always, in that bed rock principle of all democratic government, that all national and state legislation should secure the greatest good to the greatest number of the people. 2. We believe that the habitual disregard of this principle, in tho legislation of the republican party for the quarter of a century during which an inscrutable Providence suffered that party to interrupt the conti nuity of democratic administrations, is the prolific mother of business demoralization and of the burdens laid on labor, discontented because buried beneath unjust class legislation. S. We believe that this system of class legislation cannot long be continued; that the living question of the hour is, whether it shall be gradually and wisely changed, or whether it shall be continued until it becomes a burden too grievous to be borne. 4. We believe in that principle of civil service which requires tho citizen filling any post of public duty to give his time and ability to the honest and conscientious dis-/ charge of that duty. We also believe that he can best do this when in sympathy with the principles held and the ends sought to be attained by the administration entrusted with the executive duties of government. r>. We believe in a strict construction of the Constitution, without the assumption of implied powers, not delegated to the United States, but reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. (I. We seek by national legislation, among other, these ends': (A). Gradual but certain reduction of the tax upon imports in the direction of a revenue basis; to the end that grevious burdens shall be removed from the laboring masses and an accumulating and corrupting surplus in the treasury be diminished to the lowest point consistent with the maintenance of the national faith and credit. We declare ourselves iu the fullest sympathy witli the letter ami spirit of the President's message upon this subject. It is a manly state paper, altogether iu the'interest of the laboring taxpayer; instinct with the wise rigidity of will of "Old Hickory,'' ami. "h.y the eternal!'' it has pure justice and holy truth for its inspiration. (H), Such legislation as shall further save for the chizon and the settler the public domain, and wrest from corporate and alien claim every acre not now legally theirs. That all unearned land grants t'o ' corporations be restored to the government as speedily us possible, for the use andbenetit. of actual settlers. (C). Just and liberal pensionsluws, carefully guarded from tho inroads of those not entitled to the bounty of the government; and the democratic i«irt,y renews its pledge of gratitude and indebtedness to those who so nobly risked their lives for the preservation of the Union. Wo proudly approve of the conduct of the pension department by the present administration under the gallant soldier, John (.'. Blake, as the best and purest since the war, and we condemn in the strongest, terms, the recent slanders of the memories of .the dead patriots who gave their livesand best services totheircountry. That the pernicious system of imported contract labor, inaugurated by the republican party, is detrimental to the interests of the working classes of this country, and has been productive of discord and confusion in Ihe past and is derogatory to the genius of American liberty; and while extending- a hearty democratic welcome to honest, labor seeking a homo among us, we deprecate the policy which has inaugurated such a.system, and demand its entire suppression, .\o radical reduction of the internal revenue from whisky and tobacco until the burdens upon Ihe necessaries of life shall have been largely removed from tho taxpayer and his family. A distinct and manly recognition of the effort of all nations for freer government and home rule. That, we appreciate the honor conferred upon Michigan by the wise appointment to the nalional cabinet of our able and distinguished fellow-citizen, Hon. Don. M. Dickinson That, in Grover Cleveland we have found a fearless, honest and aide leader; a_ man with ability to form convictions and moral courage to assert.' and enforce them: a true cxpp-y nent of democratic principles, and a safe man to execute the laws governinga'free and independent people. We therefore join in the spontaneous and/universal demand for his renomii..>.tior>>and re-election. / The laboring man, bearing in his hand an indispensable contribution to our growth and progress, may vy^ll insist, with manly courage, as a right,Xpon the same recognition from those/who make our laws as is accorded to any.ether citizen having a valuable intorcst/'in charge; and his reasonable demands should be. met in suc-h a spirit trict Daniel J.

We reaffirm our faith in the ability of our party to, in the future as in the past, correct all national evils and foster the growth and prosperity of the whole people.

General Master Workman Powderly ha9 written a letter in which occurs the following: I am a citizen of the American republic, and a knight of labor. I believe that the preamble of knighthood comes the nearest to the truth of any decdaration of principles now before the people, and will vote only for that man of party who stands nearest to the successful carrying out of these principles. I believe that the man who votes for country before party is a patriot, and that he who votes for party before country is a traitor, in whose hands the ballot is as dangerous to the country as is the dagger in the hands of the assassin, My vote will be cast for that party or man who will do the most good for the city I live in, the state of which that, city is part, and the country of which that state is the keystone. If my advice, would hn taken all workingmen would vote just that, way, and if they did there would bo^uit one platform before the people of this nation in coming campaigns, and that -the preamble of tho knights of labor. In another letter Powderly states that ho is not a c; ml'dato 'or lie position "soon ,,. tobe ere,iled !i "he h" o| ,,' i he depcri :ne;d of labor ii'..

A s h o r t time a g o there was a fad for rose-jars, says 'J'he New York Mail and Itx/jvejs, Now it is a craze. E v e r y - body has it. Iu s o m e d r a w i n g - r o o m s they are elaborate a n d costly, in less pretentious a p a r t m e j i t s they aro handsome and efiective, and i n s t i l l humbler a p a r t m e n t s they are pretty. iThe a r o m a of tho leaves w i t h which they are filled add a p l e a s a n t perfume to tho room. Thoy are employed not only iu parlors a n d reception-rooms, but in my l a d y ' s boudoir, and in some cases each room in tho house has one. So popular have they became that n form of jar-worship now prevails. At ladies' leas the latest d e s i g n s are discussed and raved about, and every new afjiiisition is hailed with delight. The history of tho evolution of the tost; jar is quite r o m a n t i c , and r e a c h e s back some distance into the p a s t The rose-jar p r o p e r was in the shape of an urn, and originated, with tho T u r k s centuries ago. T h e y were usually made of lead, and were one of the indispensable adjuncts of the h a r e m . T h e old p a l a c e s of Oriental countries were without windows, and tho r o o m s were inclosed by rough walls, which were c o v o r e d w i t h variouscolored hangings. These a p a r t m e n t s were decorated m o s t s u m p t u o u s l y , and the jitraospher was r e n d e r e d delightful to the scenes by perfumes etnittted by urns c o n t a i n i n g rose leaves. Their use e x t e n d e d t h r o u g h o u t T u r k e y and Persia, and even to India, w h e r e they are still employed. An importing house of this city, having business representatives all over the world looking . f o r curios and antiques, first introduced the rose-jars into th s country. Their trade e x t e n d s as far as J a p a n in one direction and to Constantinople in the other, and they conceived the h a p p y idea of applying the J a p a n e s e lea-jar to the Turkish use as a receptacle for rose leaves. The tea-jars of J a p a n end their origin with the e s t a b l i s h m e n t of a secret society called the C h a n o - y o u , a b o u t four hundred years ago. This society was a strong political p o w e r for m a n y years, and. as a cover to tho real p u r p o s e of meeting, t e a - d r i n k i n g was indulged in ami tea-jars e m p l o y e d . These j a r V were used to hold the tea-leaves,/find were made of china a n d poreeliatf. Tho best sfcdl of the country was applied to m a k i n g fanciful designs. The customs of the society were handed down from generation to g e n e r a t i o n , until they have become m a t t e r s of history. T h u s the rose j a r of to-day is a combinat on of the rose urn of the ancient Tiu'Ks a n d - t h e tea j a r of tho J a p a n e s e . Thev are being i m p o r t e d in large quantities, and tho d e m a n d for them, which aliirted in this city, ds s p r e a d i n g all over tho country. A p r o m i n e n t Iiroadwav dexiler has i m p o r t e d four hundred d lie rent styles of jars. They ore of every conceivable sliapo a n d design, and cost from 15 cents to $^00 each. Small cans c o n t a i n i n g a pot-pourri of rose leaves a n d spices are kept for filling tho jars. Some ladies, howevor; propose to liil tho j a r s with rose leaves from their own g a r d e n s or conservatories. The craze is confined to A m e r i c a at-present, but is expected to extend L<0 Europe by next s u m m e r . =3E Reading for the Family.

The races, the circus, a n d the I O W famous Ingalls-Voorhees debate in- t h e Senate are as macb variety of entertainment a* Washington pleasure seekers could' expect in one week. The spring meeting of the Jbckey Club was perceptally felt in Congress. After 2 o'clock p. in. each day, statesmen iroQj both ends ot the Capitol p u t aside their legislative dufies and hied a-way to the race track. One reason Riven by members ot the lower House for attending the sport was to get some respite from the tariff debate which ii at present Consuming the time of t h c H o u s e to the exclusion of all other brsiness. Same ot our lawmakers w h e m a y be mentioned as i summer because Congressional bosi not accomplished much business in the last tortnight w h e r e u p o n q t h a t body tamed around and passed 105 pension bills, aviae public bailding bills, and a yariety of other measures, in le>e than three hours time. Senators Vest and P l u m b made a vigorous attack upon the cattle syndicate of Chicago, the combination ot beef and pork packers, who regulate th« price of be^f every d a y . l i e says there are five firms i n t h a t city which meet, every n i g h t and fix the price tor next day, compettng' the Missouri farmer to accept whatever price they offered. "This cattle pool of Chicago, "said Mr. Vest," is the most famous tjrapy that ever existed in the United States. T h e man who will invent a remedy for it will deserve a monument- more e n d u r i n g than-the Capital." \ It seems-to be the opinion of members of both Houses of Congress that the present session will extend well into and possibly nearly through the eonspacious patrons of the flyers are Hon. Archie Bliss-, of Brooklyn, Congressman Brower, of North Carolina, Mr. Matson, of Indiana, who has just been nominated for Goyernor, Mr. xMc- Clammy, of N. C , Senators lieck and Blackburn, and indeed t h e entire Kentucky delegation. The House is getting a liUle tired of the tariff discussion. Every day when tho debate is concluded, prior to adjournment, the member presiding in Committee of the wbole has to report to the speaker: "The Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union has had trader consideration the bill to reduce taxation and simplify the laws in relation to the collection of the revenue,.and has come*- to no cont u s i o n .

A FAMITFTFFAIR. J'.Y l l l ' O H ( O N W A Y . CHAPTER II (OoxTixuun). Why, with such sensible views on things in general, the two young men did not follow their sister's example and make brilliant matches, is a matter which has never been clearly explained. When, niter a n immaculate career, they left ()> ford, they were tall, well-- bui t young fellows; moreover, carrying about' them an inhereut look of d stiuctio.i. With many women—the middle aged especially — these tall, handsome, reiined young men were prin e favorites. T h e fact of the brothers having reached the respective ages of J'ortv and forty one without having s e ' e c d help-meets for them argues that soineth ng which makes a marying '.can was missing from their natures. The brothers were the best of friends. They understood and sympathized with oauh other's likes, dislikes and weaknesses. <mly ouce in • their lives had they quarreled, but that quarrel had lasted for six \ ears. They shudder now as they look back upon that time. It was no vulgar dispute, which is made known to all the world, and in which mutua friends are expected to take sides. It was only the Talberts themselves who knew that a quarrel ex ste I. To outsiders they seemed more absurdly polite to each other than ever. * The cause of the u.irrel was the interference of one bro'.her with the ^other's affairs. They wen; peculiar men and very tenacious of the Englishman's duty of minding his own business. n a certain o casion one of them . fancied a rather delicate matter as much his (-wn'busmess as his brother's. He was mistaken. They • did not use high words, be; anse such things ',> ore not tn their line; but each brother was sadly lirrn. The upshot was that for . six years they o ly spoke when they met in so.iety. At last old Talberf. died. His successful daughter had been dead a longtime. The old,man left Hazlewood House and its contents to his sons conjointly. The rest of his fortune he divided into three parts, and loft it in this proportion to each of his children or their children, if any. Then the sons met at Ma-lowood House and considered what they should do. First of all, as was becoming, they ra.ide up their differences. Very little was said on either side, but it was understood that cordial relations were re-established: At which happy conclusion each man rejoiced greatly the six years separat on had been a terrible all'air and tacitly registered a vow that for the future his brother's a flairs should be his own, distinct, private property. cy this time our friends hud grown rather weary of gadding at out. Moreover, it was duo to their position that some place should be cilled their home, i or nearly twenty years they had lived in the—various—oapitals—of- Theroom in which the brothers were sitting was turn shed with a bold mixture of modern and antique. Whore comfort and ut lity were the I'rst considerations, the modern prevailed; where ornament or decoration had to be suppl ed, the antique, o ten the grotesque antique, was called into requisition. On the h'gb. carved mantel piece stood Oriental bronze vases with hideous dragons creeping; round them, and gauing, grinning kylins, who looked IJJ or kingly and fearlessly at the lierce monsters. Hero and there was a plate of rich colored c/os-onnc enamel, a piece of Nankin china, a specimen of old brass work, a bracket of real old carved oak, an antique lamo. or some other article dear to ''the collector Some half a do'cn medium sized but valuable paintings hung upon the walls. T h e tloor was covered by a sober hued Persian carpet and, of course, a roaring lire filled the grate The Talberts looked very g r a v e - a s grave and solemn s Koinan fathers in high debate. I hey were, indeed, discus dug a weighty matter. After an interval of silence, Herbert rose and walked to his brother's side. The two looked critically down the table. They went to the bottom and looked up the table. They went to the sides and looked across the table; they even sent glances diagonally from corner to corner. "It is certainly a great improvement,1 ' said Horace with quiet triumph " K great improvement,11 e hoed the other, " E c h o 1 is the right w o r d - e v e n their voices were alike. Coffee was brought in, .and the two gentlemen were about to leave the dining room, when the Rev. Mr. Mordle was announced. Mr. Mordle was the curate of Oakbury and always a welcome guest at Hazlewood House. I t was an unspoken axiom of the Talberts that the church set the seal of fitness upon her servants, or, at least, upon her i pper servants Organ blowers, parish clerks, and pew openers were the lower servants —so, all things being equal,, a clergyman i ould always breas through the exclusiveness which reigned at Hazlewood House Mr. Mordle was clever in his way. full of talk, and of course knew every in and out of the parish, in tho administration to the wants of which he must have found the Talberts a great a-sistance. All great men have their weaknesses. But then they dearly love having a linger in the pie parochial, leaving out of the ques tion the fa'-t that they liked the curate, and in the kindne-sof their hearts pitie.l his loneliness So h" often dropped in like this, uninvited, and no doubt felt the privilege to be a great honor. On Mr. Mordle's side, he could thoroughly appreciate humor, the more so when its oxi>tence was quite, unsuspected by tho sedate humorist. To him the study of Horace and Herbert was a matter of keen and enduring delight. They rose and greeted him.

"1 rubb 'd them-—I scrubbed them—my feet -feel red hot I could dance a minuet on your table cloth without soiling i t . " The red u ml an \y of the answer set their minds at rest. The bugbear of their domestic lives was persons enter ing their rooms without haviyg lirst wiped their shoes as every Christian gentleman should. The hall door was so heavily armed with mats and scrapers that such an omission seemed an impossibility. Yet sometimes it did occur, and its effects were tcrnbjc almost tragic Horace rang for more claret; Herbert passed his cigarette case, and the three men chatted for a while on various subjects. resently said Horace with sad dec s'on: " \nn -Jenkins came to us the day before yesterday. She told a piteous tale. We gave net* live shillings.'" ' Very good of you," said the curate; * she lias a large family - n i n e . 1 think.1' ' Yes; but we are sorry now that we gave the money. We are sure that she is not a careful, thrifty woman." • Carcf 1 and thrifty people wouldn't want your half crowns. Hut how did you find out her true character ?" "We walked behind her across the field this morning," said Horace, with Europe, and they knew that they had conquered society. Indeed, it is doubtful if any two men, not i clebrities, were better kn wn than H o w e and Herbert Talbert. So they reso've I to settled ' down and begin housekeeping on their own account. They combined the r collections, and made adewood House curiously • beautiful with paintings, eh;na and bric-a-brac This done, they settled down into quiet domestic life, and kept their house as methodically and carefully, and no doubt a gre.t deal better than any two old women could have done. C I A P T E R UT. AS A K : ; I ; M K \ T ANI> AN A U U I V A L . On the night when the down-train carried the golden-headed child to Hlacktown, the Talberts had dined at home, without company. The two nien were still at the table sipp ng their claret and smoking cigar ettes. They were neither great drinking men nor great smoking men. The dinner-tablo was most tastefully 'aid out. In spite of the. season bedig^mid-wintor, it was gay with Mowers. (Juaint antique silver spoons and forks did duty, and the napery was of the whitest and finest description The poli-h on the glass was such as to make the most careful housewife or conscientious .servant wonder and onw trrave regret "When she got over the stile we saw she had on two odd stockings, a black one and a gray one— or blue and gray, I am not certain w h i c h . " — " B l u e and gray,11 said I orbert-—^inotjiccd particularly.1 ' "Her tastes, like yours,11 said the curate, "may be cultured enough to avoid Philistinic uniformity,'' "Oh, dear no,11 said erbert seriously. "Wo argue in this way. The woman has two pairs of stockings—-1' "I doubt it " said the curate. "But, never mind—go on " His friends were surpassing themselves! "She has two pairs one gray, the other blue fir black. he has worn one stocking into holes. Instead of sitting down and darning it, like a decent body, she simply puts on one of the other pair.1' "Why doesn't she put on the other pair altogether?'' asked Mr. Mordle. "Because," said Horace triumphant ly, "one slocking of that pair is in the same di'lapidat-d condition: so her condu t is doubly bad. As I said, she is not a deserving woman. "Granting your premises,11 said Mr. Mordle, "your argument is not illogical. Your reasoning appears sounds, ybuf'de fuctions correct, lint ' I he curate was preparing for a delicious battle on the subject, well worn j or otherwise, of Ann d e n t i n ' s hose. j He meant to Jcarn why one stocking of ' either pair should wear out beforo its : fellow, and many other fanciful com- ) binations wen; forming themselves in ! his subtle brain, when the interest in the mended or unmended uto -Kin/a was extinguished by the t ntrance of the T a l b e r t s irreproachable looking man servant He informed his mas'^ri that the man had broight the child "What man?

" •*• here is the m a n ? " asked Horace. "In the hall, sir." "Did he wipe his shoes?" asked Herbert in dread. "Certainly, sir; I insisted upon his doing s o . " "VVe had better see the stupid man and set the matter right " said Horace. "Excuse us for a moment, Mr. Moid e " 'I he two tall men walke I into the hall, leaving Mr. Mordle to chuckle at his ease. Hazlewood House was certainly a most interesting place this evening. It was lucky for the cur-to that he indulged in his merriment with his face turned from the door, as in a m'nute the respectable Whittaker entered the room. "Air. Ta bert and Mr. Herbert would bo glad if you would step out for a moment, sir." Thereupon Mr. Mordle went into the hall and saw a most comical sight — t o solemnity of the actors concerned not being the least comical part of t. Standing sheepishly on tho door mat, or rather on one of the leg on of doormats, was a solid-faced porter in his uniform of brown fustian, velveteen or whatever they call the stuff. On either side of the massive oblong hall-table stood one of the Talberts. whilst between them, on the table itself, was a child with a mar 8 of tumbled, Mossy golden hair streaming down from under a nai iy little cap. Horace and Herbert each armed with his horn-rimmed eye-giass and with looks of utter consternat on and bewilderment upon their face, were bending down and inspecting the <hid.

The moralist and the preacher have hackneyed this theme until it would seem nothing more remained to be said. B u t the philosophers have jfone far out of their way to account for t i t ; prevalence of ill-assorted couples and unhappy homes, and have overlooked the chief cauae.

Gentlemen:—One of your circulars come to my notice to-day, and it reminds me of an old and very valuable friend, one that saved my life Yi years ago, and because I had not needed its help since, I had almost forgotten it. I was lrt years old, and suffering from menstrual derangement; I coughed continually and hud chills every day. I w a s as miserable as 1 could be and live. A lady who knew tho cause of my illness persuad ed my mother to have mo use Zoa-Phora—it was called Woman's Friend then. Before 1 hud used one bottle my eough and chills ceased. I kept on aud used two bottles and they brought me out all right. I afterwards married and am now the mother of three nice hearty children. I feel that I owe a great deal to Zoa-Phora. I hope it will become well known, and that every woman and girl who needs it will use it. If you will send me some circulars I will give them to acquaintances, aud do all I can to help you.

The oast will be very strong and it will be greeted we hope with crowded houses. Mr. Wilson appears as a frontier scout in this drama, and the play is a stronger production than bis "Veteran's Son" which so pleased our people last March. Memorial dav, Wednesday, May, 30th, will be observed in this place in a befitting manner. Arrangements are being made to make it a pleasant occasion. Mr. H. W. Newkirk, local editor of the Ann Arbor Register will deliver a speech in honor of those who fought and died for their country. Speeches will be rendered by other prominent speakers. The speaking will be in the Cong'l church. At about one o'clock the graves of the dead soldiers will be decorated with flowers and flags. All soldiers and citizens are cordially invited in assssting to make this occasion a grand success. , A couple ot weeks hence the Howell base ball team went down to Fowlerville and played with the latter club, beating tbem'29 to 5 scores. This so elated the Howell club that they sent a challenge to the Marion club, which is composed of farmer boys that practice with the ball once in a while. So on Thursday last the Marion boys, accompanied by ('has. Coste, from this place, went to Howell, as they were invited. The Howell club thinking that they bad an easy victory oyer the "corn planters" but before the game was ended they found that they had made a mistake, tor they were beaten by a score of 10 to 8. They will play again in the near future. The following sensihle item we clip from the Chelsea Herald: If you have an axe to grind you should cheerfully take your turn at the crank of the grindstone. If you are deeply interested in church work don't expect those outside your society to rush to the support ot your pastor unless you sometimes manifest an interest in their various enterprises. On the other hand if you happen to be rather lukewarm in Christianity or even an atheist, oppose,.] entirely to the church, you should hear in mind the reciprocity necessary lo the existence of soiety and give as Iroelv to the church for which you don'r. c.i're a cent as you do for base ball or the band to which you may be devoted. Every person should give encouragement and moneyTaccording to Ins means, to every honorable enterprise, regardless of whether or nut it happens to suit his' individual tastes naturally and properly gieing most ol what is best liked but never withholding because / m have no interest in it.

PINCKNEY MICHIGAN One of Americas greatest orators said: " I have but one sentiment for the soldiers who fought in the late war, and that s cheers for the living and tears for the dead."' This noble sentiment should tind lodgment in every heart, and in t' e graves of the country's soldier-dead sh uld by laid the animosities which existed urinj; the terrible struggle which cost tl.eni their lives. Whether clad in the blue or the gray, they belonged to the republic, were brothers in one great family, and chihlr n of the Father of all. The war-clouds have I.o;ig been scattered by the gentle winds of peace, and a re-united country, happy under t e smiling skits of prosperity, meets each year to honor the memory of the brave men win ga\e their lives that a disunited country ..might become one in a common cause. This cstival of the dead was inaugurated while General John A. Logan was commander- in-chief of the Grand .Vrmy of theHepuWIe. The Idea was not odgiusd with him, however, as the custom of plating llowers on the grave* of departed heroes was indulged in by ancient Creeks and by other nations. But It remalnc i for our own bravo Logan to take the initiatory in a custom which has become a part of our national life, and as commander- in-chief he issued a general order recommending the observance of May :50 as Mem rial day, and legislative enact- ' ment has made the day a permanent and universal one. The day is fiaught with tender and holy memories; bu poignant, hitter grief burdens many hearts as we think of the brave men who went out with strong courage and high hopes to do battle for the cause of liberty, and of whom no tidings ever came back. Virginia soil, the pcstelintial swamps and foreds of the souti land, arc rich with the d'smemliered bodies of our fallen hen es, and the sentinel stars and tall pines whispering t • each (ther in the night-wind, can only tell the secrets, of their nameless graves. .Ml honor to the noble ones who without thought of earthly. _g!ory laid th ir all upon the altar < f their country's honor, and went to the Great Unknown by a path of suffering and .sorrow.

In a rugged district of East Tennessee, In that section of c o u u r y where, during the war, not only ac ghbors were arrayed against each other, but where th© members of once devoted families hunted one another with deadly intent, there was a small graveyard under a spreading persimmon tree. v-o one knows the name of a single eternal steeper who lies beneath this tree. A skirmish took place on the site of the burying ground, a fierce handto- hand encoanter; and, after the tight, the victims, dressed so much- alike that no one could tell to wh'ch side they belonged, were burled together. When the time came for removing federal soldiers to the national cemeteries, the "persimmon- tree grave y a r d " was left undisturbed. Near this graveyard there lives an old fellow named Sandy Splllers, During the war he was a confederate guerrilla. His daring, his devilish enterprise, and the many stories of his violence made his name a terror. Last year on Memorial day old.Sandy, d r l i n g a spring wagon loaded with wild blossoms and the perfumed twigs of rare bushes, and f llowed by a large number of neighbors, drew up under the old persimmon tree. " S a n d y , " said an old man as he placed a box on the ground, "you've got ter make a sort uv speech." ','You know I kaint make no speech," Sandy replied. "Wall, there'll hatter be some sort uv expernation made ter these yer folks erbout this here proceedin' a n ' w e d n ' t low that there's a man that can do it better'n you ken. so git right up thar on that box an' let ther cat outen the b a g , " " I ' l l do the best I k e n , " Sandy replied, as ho took-off his white wool hat and threw it on the ground, "with the hope that I won't hurt nobody's feellns." He got up on tho box, looked about him in a sort of half-embarrassed way, and then said: "A good many o' you know what I w u z d u r m ' the war. You know that I wuz called a tough customer a n ' I'll say right here that I ain't prepared to dispute it, nuiher. " I won't tell in purticler how I wuz forced ter sorter bush-whack, but"! will say that the Lawd knows that I never had nuthin' ergin the old Hag. Wall, one clay while 1 wuz layin, in ther cane-brake clown yon on ther creek, fast asleep, fur 1 had been er dodfiin' round all ther day before, a party o' union soldiers come up, they did, and nabbed me fo' i knowed tlvy wuz in ther community."' They didn't gin me no chance ter fight, an'. I don't reckon I det o d a y : They who in mountains and hillside and deil, Rest where they wearied, and lie where they fall, Softly the grass blades creep round their "repose. Sweetly above them tho wild floweret blows, Zephyrs of freedom fly gently o'er head, Whispering prayers for the patroit dead. So in our minds we'll name them once more, So in our hearts we'll cover them o'er, F.oses and lilies auv\ violets blue Bloom in our >ouU for tho brave and the true. Chorus. When the long years have rolled slowly away, E'en to the dawn of earth's fnncral day. When at the arch angel's trumpet and tread, Rise up the faces an I form< of the dead. When the great* world its last judgment awaits. When tho b'.ua sky shall swing open the gates. And ou? loug columns m a r c h silently through, Past the preat captain for final review, Then from the blood t h a t has flowed for the ripht, Crowns shall tpring upward untarnished - and bright. <» Then the glad ears of each war-martyred fO'l Proudly shall heir the glad tidings "well done." 1; e in^s for garlands shall cover them over.

Found un Old Trtend. COIXMA, M I C H . , Dec. 8,1885. Gentlemen:—One of your circulars came to my notice to-day, and It reminds me of an old and very valuable friend, one that saved my life 12 years ago, and because I had not needed its help since, I had almost forgotten it. I was 16 years old, and suffering from menstrual derangement; I coughed continually and had chills every day. I w a s as miserable as I could be and live. A lady who knew the cause of my illness persuaded my mother to have me use Zoa-Phora— it was called Woman's Friend then. Before I had used one bottle my cough and chills ceased. Iic'ept on and used two bottles and they brought me out all right. I afterwards married and am now the mother of three nice hearty children. I feel that I owe a great deal to Zoa-Phora. I hope it will become well known, and that every,woman and girl who needs it will use it. If you will send me some circulars I will give them to acquaintances, and do all I can to help you.

S Y M P T O M S O F T H E DISEASE.-DulI, heavy •headache, obstruction of tlio nasal.pnssaKi'8. rlisqharg'eB falling from tho head into tho throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tonacinus, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes aro weak; there- is rinjrinjr in the ears, deafness, hacking or couching to clear the throat, cxpoctnratlon of offensive matter, together with scabs froth ulcers; tho voice la changed and has a "nasal twang"; tho breath is offensive; smell and tasto Impaired; there is a sensation of dizziiress, with mental depression, a hacking cou«rh and general debility. Only a few of tho above-named symptoms are likelv to be present in anyone case. Thousands of cases annually, without manifesting hulf of tho above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the grave. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, less understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physiciuns. COMMON SENSE TREATMENT. If you would remove an evil, strike at itn rant. As tho predisposing or real cause of catarrh is. In the majority of cases, some weakness, impurity, or otherwise faulty condition of the system, in attempting to cure tho diseaao our chief aim must bo directed to the remnval of that cause. The more we sco of this odious disease, and wo treat nuecesafully thousands of cases annually at tho Invalids' Hotel -and Sunrical Institute, tho more do we realize tho importance of combining with tho use of a local, soothing and healing application, a thnrouu i and perttitetU internal use of blood-cleansing and tonic medicines. H,„__ In curing catarrh and all tho various diseases with lirllEF which it is so frequently complicated, as throat, "•""" bronchial, nnd lung diseases, weak stomach, catarrhal deafness, weak or inflamed eyes, impure blood, scrofulous- nnd other taints, the wonderful powers and virtues of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cannot be too strongly extolled. It has a specific effect upon the lining mucous membranes of tho nasal nnd other air-passages, promoting the natural secretion of their follicles and glands, thereby softening the diseased atul thickened membrane, and restoring it to its natural, thin, delicate, moist, healthy condition. As a blood-puriflcp, it is unsurpassed. As those disenscs which complicate catarrh are diseases or tho lining mucous membranes, or of the blood, it will rradily bo seen why thia medicine la so well calculated to cure them. As a local application for healing tho diseased condition In tho head, Dr. Sage's Catarrh" Remedy is beyond all comparison the best preparation ever invented. It is mild and pleasant to use, producing no smarting or pain, and containing no strong, irritating, or caustic drug, or other poison. This Remedy is a powerful antiseptic, and speedily destroys all bad smell which nccompanics so many cases of catnrrh, thus uffordlng great comfort to those who suffer from this distujse. PERMANENT CURES. Tho Golden Medical Discovery is the natural " helpmate " of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It not only cleanses, purities, regulates, and builds up the system to a healthy standard, and conquers- throat, bronchial, and lung complications, when any such exist, but, from its spec'.ilo effects upon the lining membrnno of the nasal passages, it aids materially in restoring the diseased, thickened, or ulcerated membrano to a healthy condition, and thus eradicates tho disease. When a cure is effected in this manner it i» permanent. Both Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy aro sold by druggists the worltf over.

Since I last wrote you nothing decidedly startling or sensational has occurred on Capitol Hill. There h€ve been no personal encounters during the week, none indeed since those two, one in the Senate and the other in the House, which were the scandal of the town ten days ago. Senator Voorbees announced to the Senate that he was full of contrition for the unparliamentary language used bv him in the debate with Senator Jngalls, but be did not mention the latter's name and while-apologizing for his offense to the Senate did not apologize to Mr. Ingalls. But m the House of Representatives there has been no apology or retraction or explanation. Messrs. Woodburn and Bruram made the charge, stale and old, that Abram S. Hewitt had, on a certain well known occasion apologized to the British Minister, and although Mr. Bryce of New York'took tip much time in trying to vindicate Mr. Hewitt, Messr9. Woodburn and Brumra insist that tfcey never made &ny charges they cannot substantiate. Congressman Martin, of Texas, has again distinguished himselt and is once more a topic of conversation among his associates. Mr. Martin did not intend to speak on the tariff bill, but some of the jokers of the Hous« told him that his colleagues from Texas were afraid that he would do so, and that they were doing all they could to prevent his appearing on the floor as a speaker. Theyrepresented to Mr. Martin that his Texas associates were jealous and afraid he would outshine Mills and all the vest of the Texas men if he insisted upon beinsr beard. This was top .much for Mr. Martin. .He spoke, and his speech was one ot the funniest ever heard in Congress. The crowd in the galleries voted it to be well worth an admission tee. After making a number of dabs at forfeiture of unearned land grants, the Senate actually passed the Rail: road land forfeiture bill on Thursday with a large number of other measures among which ,public buildings were most numerous The talk over the animal industry bill in the Senate seems to be endless. The Texas Senators especially, have much to say about it. The House passed the bill enabling the Government to participate in the centennial exposition at Cincinnatti and the bill providing frr a Congress of American nation to be held in Washington is now ready to go to the President. This bill'invites the Republics of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Empire of Brazil to a conference tor the purpose ot promoting arbitration and encouraging reciprocal commercial relations. It appropriates $300,000 for the proper* entertainment of these foreign guests. Both Houses were compelled to yield the appointing of the ten United States delegates to the President, the original scheme being to have the President appoint stx delegates and th° presiding -efHcers of the two—Hmi^ .^rh appoint two. This was discovered to be slightly unconstitutional. Early in the week Senator Vest announced to the Senate his sympathy for the unprotected figure - of the "Father of His Country" at the east front of the Capitol. I refer to Greenough/ s statue of Washington which every visitor to the Capitol sees who stands at the front of.the great marble v pile., Think of George Washington in classical drapery what was Greenough thinking about? The Missouri , Senator produced a letter from the Librarian'of Congress lamenting the exposure of tli&und raped Washington, and su^ijestmg a canopy to protect him from the weather. He %Iso submitted a resolution instructing the Library Committee to inquire what can be done about it unless the committee report in favor ot providing the almost nude figure with a full suit of winter clothe's and an umbrella. The Supreme Court were in session all of Saturday afternoon, and have doubtlessly acted'upon the preat Tcle- " \.viw appeal. The decussion, will probably be announced to-day between 1 and 2 o'clock. If it is refused the Court will so announce; vf granted, it will be *o stated and a time set to send the case over to the next term ol the court. Both sides are hopeful, but no one can know the result until announced, and you will probably know it before this reaches yon. Congressman Scott, the thin voiced millionaire from Northern Pennsylvania, who spoke for two hours on the tariff bill last Friday, has the credit of having made one of the ablest contributions yet to the discussion, and one of the hardest for the protectionists to answer. The gentleman was honored by two distinguished visitors during the delivery of his speech. Mrs. Cleveland occupied a seat m the Executive gallery, and Postmaster General Dickinson sat by Mr. Scott's side. JBucklen's Arnica Salve.

The Local Option Law So Declared by the Supreme Court. The BUprem ' court has unanimously declared theJocal option law unconstitutional. The ground upon which this decision is reached is very simple, viz: the law is a direct violation of article 4, section 30, of the constitution, although other points are touched upon, incidentally. The article of the constitution violated provides that no, law shall embrace more than one object, which shall be embodied in its title. The local option law is entitled "An act to regulate the manufacture and sale of liquor," which is not at all what the law is for. The court also says the law requires the county clerk to call a special election upon the petition of one-fifth of the lawful voters of the county, but it does not provide a way by which the clerk may know whether the petitioners are lawful voters. Neither is there a provision that the petitions are to be preserved by the clerk, although they are the foundation for the suspension of the general law of the state. The law alsb says the ballots shall be cast and counted and returned to the county clerk according to the law by which county officers are elected. This is a lame provision, and it is aggravated by the fact that there is no provision for a board of canvassers, nor for the promulgation of the result of a special election. The opinion was written by Justice Champlin, and three-fourths of it is devoted to the violated article of the constitution. The other defects might have been vital, but this one makes it certain that the law is totally coll-jsod. Done By a Tramp. Mrs. McBael Gall, a lady 2"> years old, was assaulted at her home the other afternoon, near Lakeside, about half a mile from a;iy other house, by a tramp. After a desperate st/ugglo the tramp failed in committing rape and left the house in a rage. The woman was terribly frightened and did not venture out at once. Soon after she discovered th • house on firo and had to make haste to get out alive. Everything was in llamas in a short time and was lost, including all the furniture, clothing and the adjoining barn. The loss is £1,500. The tramp Fet the house on fire and took to the woods. After Mrs. Gall was driven out by the smoke and fire she hastened to Mann & Moor"s mill, where her husband was at work, and related the outrage. A gang of men went in search of the tramp immediately, reinforced soon after by the authorities, and, if caught, the outlaw may be thankful if he escapes hanging. He was very poorly clad, under the influence of liquor, short, and stout with red whiskers, and about tfl) years old. The sheriff has offered £100 reward for the tramp's arrest. • Michigan News Briefly Told.

The matter was too serious a one for jest. "Cut the label off," was the curate's next piece of-advice. "There may be a letter under it," They took it off. The label was a piece of wricing paper gummed on to a plain card which had been torn or cut irregularly. No letter was concealed beneath it. Then they searched the pockets of the child's little coat, but fount! nothing. Their*'perplexity .increased. "Til wish you good evening, gentlemen,' said" the porter. "Cab was three and six." The "Tabbies" were in the horns of a dilemma. The eyes whi h could detect the disorepancyln the unfortunate Mrs. Jenkins' stockings wer.; able to see that the baby was well,-even very well, clad. It was just possible that a letter had miscarried—-, possible that some one was coming to Hazelwood House without invitation or notice—that she had really missed the train at Didcot: that she would arrive in the course of an hour or two and explain matters, The safest plan was to keep the child for a while. Having settled this, Horace fished live shillings out of his pocket a n d sent the porter away happy.—Thereupon Herbert produced a half crown which h c h a n d e d to his brother, who pocketed it without comment and as a matter of course.

BBATKICE'S I'ltOPOSAL, In describing Hazlewood House and its belongings, no mention has been made of Miss Clauson, for thU reason— her position in that well regulated establishment was, as yet, scarcely d e - fined. She was neither mistress nor guest ^he was in short the only daughter—indeed, the only surviving result of that brilliant m a r riage made by Miss 'albert when she allied herself with Sir Maingay Clauson Bart. There is no reason for enlarging upon the admirable way in which Lady Clauson tilled the position which her own merits bad gained, or to which Fate had assignecl her. Socially and domestically - in the outward as well as inward ]ffe she was all a baronet's wife should be all save that she presented her husband with no heir to his title and estates. This was a sad omission, but for the sake of her many other good qualities. Sir Maingay overlooked it, aud made her a very good husband as husbands go. When Lady Clauson died, some twelve years after the birth of the daughter who lived, Sir Maingay wept copiously. He even opened his bible—the first time for many years—and by the aid of "Cruden's Concordance," looked out a text appropriate to h e r many virtues. Moreover, for her sake, or his own, he r e - mained single for live long years. Then he went the way of all middleaged, titled, wife-be reft tlesh, and married again, Beatrice Clawson, just about to leave school, a romantic young ladv whose head for the present was, however, only occupied by pretty, filial dreams of looking after her father, ministering to his comforts, ruling his house, and generally doing the best she could to till the place of her dead mother, found herself without a word of warning presented to a new mother, one, moreover, but four years older than herself. It was a crushing blow! It was a girl's lirst lesson in the vanity and unstability of mundane expectations. She ought, of course, to have antici - pated it; but she was young, and like most young people, considered her middle-aged fatljer abnormally-old and staid. Besides, she could remember her own mother well enough, and r e - membered also Sir Maingay's s'neere grief when death claimed his wife. She remembered the way in which the weeping man threw his arms around herself and told her that she was now his ALL,— his treasured memento of his wife—his one tie to life. Koealling all this she was sanguine enough to fancy that memory was even more vivid, that grief had graven its lines deeper with her father than with herself. So the bolt came from the bluest of the blue! When the enforced meeting between Lady Clauson and her step-daughter took pla e the young lady, by means of those signs and tokens the masonry of which women alone fully comprehend, showed the stato of her m'nd so clearly that war to the knife was then and there declared. It matters little who was most to blame—the girl for her unreasonableness and stubborn spirit and want of resignation to the inevitable - • Lady Clauson for retaliating with all an injured woman's pettiness and spite - Sir Maingay fcgi the thoroughly man-line conduct in letting things drift. They did drift with a vengeance! The breach between the two ladies soon became too enormous to be bridged over by any family diplomatic engineering . The battle royal was fought when the time came for Miss Clauson to be presented. Lady Clauson asserted that she was the proper person to present her step daughter. Beatrice coldly declined ncr aid. Her ladyship insisted-- her step-daughter was firm in her r e - fusal. Sir Maingay declared himself under his wife's banner, and for once attempted to as-ert parental authority. Whereupon Miss Clauson c i t the matter short, and declined being presented a t all. When alone with her father Beatrice always behaved prettily. She was very fond'of him, although the remembrance of the tears, the tev t the distracted vows, when contrasted with his second marriage for nothing but good looks, made her look upon him with a little contempt. She heard bis remarks-in silence, then gave him her opinion on the matter. " I don't want to be a nuisance to you, papa. I am eighteen now—too old to go back to school. It's nonsense, of course, to say I .should like to' earn, my own living, because when I come of age I sh.dl havo some money*- May I go and live at Kairholme?" Fairholme was Sir Maingay's seldomused seat in one of the southern counties. "-Bli^ you can't live there alone," ho said "Yes, I could. Mrs. Williams could take care of mo. I shall be happy enough." "My dear girl, whv not bo reasonable and make friends with Lady Clauson? Then we could all go abroad together." •'I can t go abroad with y o u , " said Beatrice ' ? $118111)6 miserable myself and make you miserable." "But if you stay in England you must be presented and come out and all that sort of tiling." "if ever I do get married," said Joatrovj dryly, " I will be presented as Lady Clauson was, on my marriage." Sir Maingay's oheek reddened. He was much hurt by the sarcasm. Poor old King Lear found a fitting simile for an ungrateful child, but the sharpness of a sarcastic child is more painful than a whole jawftil of serpeut's teeth. He did not reply; but the worthy baronet was at his wits" end. V\ hat could he d o . with this girl? He h a d very few relations - he cared for none of them. Old Mr. Talbert of ^azlewood House was a confirmed invalid Hora * and Herbert were men without homes or wives Sir Maingay was willing enough that Beatrice should remain in Kngland. He had suffered enough during the last few months from the dissensions of his wifo and daughter. But whero~to bestow" Beatrice? At last he remembered an aunt of his own who lived in quiet retirement in one of the surburbs of London. It Was of course absurd for Beatrice to think of living at Fairholme, in a half closed house, with a housekeeper and one or two servants. So it was arranged that her great-aunt should take her wh.le Sir Maingay and Lady Clauson wore on the Continent, to t> Mrs. ErskincV she went, and, as that lady was veryold, very deaf, and saw no company, it may t e presumed that Miss Clauson had scarcely a merry time during her father's a b s e n c e - a n absence which fro u one reason or another lasted quite four years. After a while Sir Maingay almost forgot he had a daughter. The Clausons settled down to continental life for an indefinite time. Lady Clauson knew she was improving herself, and moreover, that Sir Miingay was saving enough money to refurnish the town house from top t • bottom whenever they did return to England. In the course of the four years spent abroad Lady Clauson rectified her predecessor's sins of omission, and gave her devoted hns band two line boy babies. In the revived delights of paternity—a paternity which is so especially dear to middle age - S i r Maingay thought little of. the troublesome, obstinate girl he had left in Kngland. His wife and his boys all but turned her out of his heart So here was Beatrice in the extraordinary position of being a baronet's daughter with scarcely a friend in the world- [TO HE CONTINCE'O.J A Boy's Idea of Marriagp.

China, und ant cakes on the Orinoco. Under the cool, moist skies of Great Britain, the natives consume heartier food than under our sunny firmament. But it greatly depends on habit and menial coitditio.-iS. An ordinary breakfast set boforo Queen Victoria cons sts of oat meal porridge- served in blue bowls, of which dish she is very fond, and of which evul*y one present is expected to tuste; steak, cold rump-steak p e, cold gammon or bacon, boiled eggs, Scotch scones, brown bread, honey, cotVee, and a kind of cocoa specially prepared for her majesty. Who can doubt that the heavy. stolid, sorrowful m ;utal condition of the queen affects her appetite? It is not likely that she partakes of all these dishes at the same meal, but her tastes are sufficiently indicated. A lighter, brighter, more cheerful temperament would revolt from such a prepouder* anee of solid food. No such amount or kind of nutrition oan be needed bv one who takes little exercise and uses little mental exertion. It does not differ gn*atH' in quality from that of Queen Elizabeth, who partook of lino wheateii'loaves, ale, beer, pottage of beef and mutton, rabbits, and butter iu great quantities. In one of her journeys thiough England it required three oxen and 140 geose to furnish a Sunday morning repast for the brilliant Queen and her retmue. Yet there was then much excuse for hearty food. There were neither stoves nor modern conveniences for diffusing heat and greater stores of carbon were required. Many of our vegetables were undeveloped roots or tubers and a crude civilization demands and enjoys food both coarso and hearty. It contains less nutriment than food iu a liner form, and it belongs to the strong, sensuous and uurelined. It is more a matter of habit and conven;<>nco than choice to use much meal the morning meal, certainly iu ti unmet*.

These are good words of advice Just now that will apply in all local option counties, and corses from the Lansing Republican: "The breajr down of County option puts in force the amendr ed tax law. This law imposes a tax of 1500 each on saloons that sell distilled liquors, with severe bonds of not less than $3,000 nor more than $6,000, half the tax to go to the city and half, to the county. If this law is enforced, it will do more to stop liquor selling and close up the saloons than county option. It should be enforced strictly and at once. The State Republican, in the' name of the best citizen* of Irigham county, calls upon the authorities for its instant find, severe enforcement. The bonds ought to be fixed at the highest figure. Instant prosecutions should be began against every dealer in Ingbam county who violates tha law in any way or degree: E«ch citizen nhoula urfite to sustain every official in doing his duty fearlessly and promptly, and to spot and: mercilessly tdadg'hter at the first opportunity every official who fails in any way o r ' degree to do his whole duty in enferc* • ing this law."—Livingston Republican. 4 Munith is a thriving little town a-bout twenty miles west of this place ' The* merchants are enterprising as one ' will find by visiting this burg..

Sreclal Washington Correspondence.] Kansas is the Massachusetts of the West —the geographical center of the United States, as tho Bay State was of Colonial / menca and tho - historic battle-ground rf freedom. White men first saw its b.-nindlcss prairies three hundred and forty years ago, and savages called them their hunting-grounds thirty years ago, yet In a quarter of a century it haa'passed from a veritable state of bai-barism to the foremost stage of civilization. A more wonderiul progross man has nowhere made jn all hi* history. Kansas has 100 counties,. 4,880 miles of railroad. 188,000 farms and produces 170,000,- CC0 bushels of corn and 85,000,000 bushels of wLeat annually; her population is over a The senate has decided by a vote of iS to | 23 to consider the fisheries treaty in secret ; session. The bill to confine the sale of the products i of convict labor to the state in Which they ' are produced is under discussion in tho house. ; The bill providing tor a department of '• labor has for its object the diffusion among the people of the United States of useful : information on subjects connected vith labor in the most geueral and eonjpr usive sense of that word, and especially .,,">uits. relation to capital, the hours of ia'"o;-, the earnings of laboring men and women and the means of promoting their material, so- : cial, intellectual and moral prosperity. The . personnel is to consist of a commissioner to be appointed hy the president, with and by the advice and consent of the senate, who is to hold office for four years and receive u ' salary of ¢5,000; a chief clerk, stenographer, various minor clerks, copyists and messengers. The President has signed the joint resolution providing for the publication of Vi,- 500 copies of the eulogies of the senate and house upon the late Congressman Moffatt. The senate committee on finance has ordered an adverse report on the fractional currency b*"l. but in its place a bill will be reported reducing the fee upon postal notes for less than $1 to one cent. Senator Palmer has introduced an am^nd meat tu the river and harbor bill covering the Portage Lake canal purchase. Loading lawyers from all parts of the country met in Washington a few days ago and organized an association, the object of which is to promote the unification of the laws of the various states, which rclal.fi to matters in which the people of the United States have common interests, to promote the improvement of the judicial system of the states and United States, and for the establishment of international codes between the civilized and commercial nations. The next meeting will beheld in Cleveland in August. Representative Walker of Missouri, from the committee on invalid pensions, has pre jrared for presentation to the house a minor ity report adverse to the bill extending the time during-which claims may be allowed for arrears of pensions. The report staffs that it will require $500,000,000 to carry out tho provisions of the bill. Mr. Walker'says that if the bill passes it will not only dispose of the surplus, but will also add several hundred millions to the burden of u nation already weighed down b y taxation. In conclusion ho says that the American people have not only been fair and Just to the exsoldiers, but have enacted pension lawn with a liberality andgenerotdty unparalleled in the pension legislation of any country on earth. In behalf'of the tax-paying public, a large majority of whom are struggling to make a living, many even struggling to keep the wolf from the door, he protests against the paeK^e of the bill.

SENATOR IXQALLS. million souls; 15,000 people are engaged manufacturing within her borders, and th~< cumber doubles every eight years, while the net value of her aggregated product more tian doubles in the same, period. But »10 Indians now live on Kansas soil; and Indians twenty years ago disputed possession of over half tho State with tho army of the United States. Kansas is rapidly selling her opportunity to become the greatsu »ar State of the West, and with secrets sf refining discovered within her boundaries • promises to revolutionize the sugar iniustry. Tho fact of chief importance about Kansas is her growth. She was admitted as a State in January, 1861, with a population of 107,200. In this year of grace there are of Kansasi Congressmen, more than' Arkansas, admitted in 1836; California, admitted in 1850; Louisiana, admitted in 1812; i Maine admitted in 1830; Minnesota admitted in 1858; Oregon, admitted in 1859, or Maryland, Connecticut, Now Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont that ware original States, to say nothing of Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi aud South Carolina have the same number of Congressman that Kansas has, and tho present population of the Stato probably entitles her to a larger delegation than cither of these States. The States making the largest increase of population from 1870 to 1880 were Colorado, 154,000; California, 304,000; Nebraska, 329,- rtOO: Iowa, 430,000, but Kansas led them all with 031,000. John James Ingalls, the senior Kansas Senutor, and tho head of tho delegation in Congress, would deceive tho most unerring guesser of age. As ho moves about tqs Senate chamber or strolls out over the coilVtry roads aroun/» T. a-shington, ho might bV supposed to be as young as thirty-five.; few would imagine ho was over forty-five, Tho cold air-tight fact is that ho was fifty-four on the 29th of last December. Ho is tall, very spare, and of a highly nervous temperament. He was born in old Essex County, Mass., where Caleb Cushing, RufusChoate, Juc'gc Story and many other great men first saw light. His Ancestors and those of .*udgo Endicott, Secretary of War, founded the city of Lynn. He graduated at Williams Collego when ho was twenty-two, one year before James A. Garfield delivered hi3 valedictory for the class of '50. It is an interesting fact that Rufus Ingalls, the Senator's father, and Mohitabel Ingalls, President Garflold'a grandmother, were first cousins. Senator Ingalls went to Kansas lalSSS, cud passing through tho exciting days of tho strugglo for free soil in Bleeding Kansas. v Ho became a "John Brown " Republican, and has remained so. When 8. C. Pomeroy wa3 retired from tho Senate In 1573, the successor fell on Mr. Ingalls, then in Bis fortieth year, and looking but twenty-five. Ho stepped into the front rank of wits and orators in Congress. Mrs. Ingalls was Anna Louisa Chcsobrough, daughter of a prominent merchant of New York City. E.hel, tho oldest daughter, is a prett y and talented girlof nineteen, just making her debut as a bright and interesting newspaper correspondent; Ellsworth, the bldest son, is a law student in Washington. Tho other ofcilflrgn ure carrying ou Uieii stuliea under their mother's care. Preston B. Plumb, the junior Senator of the "Garden of the West," i3 just four, years younger than his colleague, as he i&' four years his junior also in the Senate. Ho is a splendid specimen of self-manufac-, ture. Ho has been farmor, editor, typc-setr, oTeLbuttJiatwas'hii rank at the close of tne war, Colons! Plumb was born on a farm near Delaware, 0 , ' and went to Kansas in 1866, where he took up a form near Emporia and joined tho pioneer struggle for life. In those days there were no raUMadsin Kansas: in 1865 the first road built was done, and but forty mues were in, operation that year. Tho future Senator had to drive overland with his corn and wheat eighty miles to Lawrence to find a market It was while driving across the country in this way that Senator Plumb did a heroic act, of which his honest and homely face is to-day a monument. At one of the taverns one night ho found that a party of Oblo emigrant*, la nassine. had left one of tueir number dying of smau-pox. .TiumD swore the man should bo cared for. He sent his team on to Lawrence and staid behind to attend the sick man. No one would aid him. He impressed a team to carry the patient to the house of a man and wife who had had the disease and were willing to take tho poor fellow in. The team was taken away from him when he had got but a short distance away. He finally got another and carried his man thro j gh. Good care saved his live. Then Plumb went on back to Emporia afoot and wo* himself taken down with the dread disease and nearly died. Mrs. Plumb is an invalid and seldom appears in society. The Senator is a " powerful" committee worker, and in debate he is a most impassioned, earnest and convincing orator. He was elected first to succeed Senator Harvey in 1877 and in 1883 he was re-elected, as he doubtless will be in 1889. Tho Kansas delegation in the House is a noticeably fine-looking body of men. Ail are large, portly and athlotic, speaking in this way volumes for the fatness of the land they represent in tho National Legislature. The oldest member «f the delegation in service is Captian Thomas Ryan, of Topeka, an alert, stout,smooth-faced gentleman,who is one of tho best-informed workers on the Committee on Appropriations, of which Samuel J. Randall is chairman. Captain Ryan u a New Yorker fifty-one years old, served through the war in a Pennsylvania regiment. He went to Kansas in 1865 and ten years later was elected to tho Fortyfifth Congress and re-eiccted continually since. He is a lawyer. Rev. John A. Anderson,of the district adjoining Ryan's,has served In Congress since the beginning of the Forty-sixth Congress in 1879. He is a Pcnnsylvanian, now fiftythree years old, graduated at Miami University andju 1857 was ordained a Presby-. terian minister in San. Francisco. Ho was chaplain of a California regiment in the war .and was for several years an officer of the Sanitary Commission, From 1873 to 1879 he was president of the Kansas Agricultural College. He was new to politics when elected to Congress. Mr. Anderson Is a jolly, popular Congressman both at homo and in Washington. With the exception of Mr. Turner the rest of the Kansas delegation entered the. National Legislature with the Forty-eigutb A!TOB»S05. FCNSTOV. TUUHNKR. PBTERS. KTJOT. MORRILL. PERK 1X8. n u n x Pixie*. ter, lawyer, court reporter, soldier, Steele* man, miner, and Is now, it is said, safely a millionaire. Few people ever call him Col- ' Congress. Edmund N. Morrill, of the. Hiawatha district, is a Maine man, fiftyfour years old, tall, largo and benevolentlooking man. who now and then strongly resembles President Garfield. Ho is a banker, and as far bock as 1S57 sat in the Kansas Territorial Legislature. He enlisted in 1861, and was a Major when mustered out in 1865. In 1879 he was Presidnet of tho Kansas Senate. Mr. Morrill is an effective speaker and an influential member. „ Judgo Bishop W. jerkins is the fat man of the delegation. P * wears a smooth face and a pleasant smile. His weight is about what President Cleveland's is, t u t he is tall and shapely. Judgo Pertains was born in Ohio and educated at what is *ow Knox College, Galesburg, 111. He studied law at Ottawa, 111., and was admitted to the bar in 1867. He was four years a seldieY and reached the rank of Captain. For ten years he was a district judge in Kansas, and for a year or two previous had bews probata judge. He is an authority on Indian legislation, and one of the. most influential committeemen and debaters in Congress Edward Funston is the heavy man from Kansas. Ho stands six feet in his stockings and weifhs two hundred and fifty pounds. He cooos from tho euphoniouslynamed town of lola, in Eastern Kansas, a land of fat and plenty. He, like several of his colleagues, was born in Ohio, and is now fifty-two years old. He was reared on a farm and educated at Marietta College. H© onlistcd inlSfll. and was mustered fttttin 1865. In 1807 bo took up lana near loia, ea the prairies, and that spot is still Home, Sweet Homo to him. He was several times elected to the Kansas Legist.ture, and in 1875 was chosen Speaker. In 18S0 he was elected to the Stato Senate and made President pro tern. When Dudley C. Haskell died, in 1884, Mr. Funston was chosen to serve out his term in Congress. Judgo Samuel R. Peters is another Ohioan tn the Kanssis delegation. Ho was born in Pickaway County in 1843, Like Ins colleagues, he enlisted in 1861 and fought until 1865, rising from the ranks to be a Captain. For five years-ho was a district judgo in Kansas, after serving one term in the State Senate. He is used to getting such whacking big majorities as two to one againBt all comers. It is in Judge Peters' district that the new nrncess of roakine sucar was discuvereu ana is mamsg sucn important developments. ' ErastUB J. Thurner is tho youngest Kansas Congressman. Ho is a Pennsylvanian, forty-two years old, and, perhaps, the handsomest member of tho delegation • when Perkins and Peters are out of town. Ho attended college at Henry, 111., and, going to Iowa to live, soon enlisted. Ha went to Adrian College after the war, was admitted to the bar in 1871, and, after somo years practico in Iowa, settled down in Kansas, For years he was secretary of the Kansas Board of Railroad Commissioners, a place ho resigned to accept a nomination to Congress. He got a prominent committee assignment the first thing on the organization of the House, being appointed to tho Public Lands Committee. With these seven men to look after her interests, Kansas is well represented. Senator Ingalls, the u buzz-saw" of the Senate, is the most feared man in debate. Senator Plumb is a tremendous power in committee legislation. The House members arc distributed through all lines of public business, and have a strong grip on all legislation that can possibly effect the thrifty, progressive young State. J. A. TKUESDELI* BREWSTER. Tl»« Late Ex-Attorncy-G^neral/of Arthur'* Cabinet-Sketch of His Ufo. [Special Washinirton Correspondence.1 Ex-Attorncy-General Brewster was regretted more, probably, than any Cabinet Minister who retired w i 0 President Arthur's Administration. He was the one quaint, odd figure in that Cabinet. Every one has heard how he lost/his manly beauty In boyhood through his heroism in saving tho ufoof his little sister who had fallen into an open fire-plcce in his father's house. Fro.n that moment on through life Mr. Brewster was aman to bo stared at whercverhc went. Such a frightful face seldom •was seen. When ho was Attorney-General ho was In the habit of walking nbout tho streets of Washington a great deal, and ho was on the floor of tho Senate or House nearly every day during tho venter. How he did1 dress! First there were white trousers. These ho wore, summer aud winter—snowwhite aud very baggy. • Then came an old-prold waistcoat of the ancient style, s.11 speckled with small red siUc roses. Over this was c blue frock-coat, such a3 French fops woro in tho forties. The buttons were brass and the skirts plcnifold. His collars wore chokers, high, large, stiff. His neckerchief was wound around his throat three or four times and tied with long, loose ends. His shirts and wristbands were ruffed and fluted, His hat was a wonder above wonders. It was tail, square, white, furry. Tho brim was perfectly flat, and when the quaint old man strode about GENERAL BBBWSTXK. with his coattails and r.ecktie flattering, his silk, fuzzy hat stuck on the back of hia head and his gold-headed cane flourishing, you can fancy what a picture he made. But he was a good and kind old man. Great as a lawyer nnd unmistakably honest, he did his duty well. His metto was: "Truth is my shield." The first U:*&. Brewster was a German baroness; the second a daughter of Robert J. Walker, whom ho first met when sho was a clerk in tho" Treasury and he was arguing a case here. Mr. Brewster's sister disliked his first wife, and went to Italy, where Bho now lives. Mr. Brewster left two children by his first wife, and little Benny, his second wife's son. Mr. Brewster's facje is tho only one not to be seen in the portraits of the Attorney-Genorals in the Department of Justice. He would never allow bis por^ trait to bo made. J. A. T. A Snoring Canary Bird. t Miss Almeda Taft, of Sadorus, 111., has a canary bird that snores. About two o'clock one night last week its snores becamo so loud as to arouso the household. A search about tho premises failed to reveal the cause of the noise until the sitting-room door was opened and it was found to emanate from the bird-cage. The bird beinjj awakened the noise instantly ceased. Tho •wnerofthebird regards it now as a very musical canary, and the neighbors all declare they never heard the liko of its snores, which become more pronounced with each succeeding dav. James J.

The physician, ignorant of the causo of suffering, encourages his practice until large bill* are made.

The past few days in Congress have been notable for what will be known in political history as the great tariff debate of 1888. It begun more than a month ago, and was carried on almost uninterruptedly with a steadily growing interest It is a great mistake to sajr that the people are not interested in tariff talk or they pay no attention to the discussion. Protracted debates may be often wearisome to professional ' politicians, but such a discussion as, this, on a question that touches every interest of every citizen, has great attractions for the voting masses. There has been no time since the fiery debates of the reconstruction period when the demand for copies of speeches has been so great as the calls for tariff speeches within the past few weeks. The appearance of the minor participants in the great debate has attracted comparatively little attention *hefe, increased only when an exchange pf bitter !p* rsonalities or an exciting, interesting bit of repartee has broken the monotonous progress of the strife. But On Friday last, all this was changed. It was. a day of great oratory. The tariff issue was presented from its three sides. As in the olden times when the bravest and the fiercest fighters were reserved until the last, so the two parties in the House -of Representatives have held back their recognized leaders, in order that only the worthiest men should meet face to face. So Mr. ttandal! spoke for the protection dem- : ecrats,Mr. McKtntey fcnr~tfr6 republito take in the combat. Consequently he looked a little pale and as if be bad been ill. Yet he spoke clearly, effectively and very acceptably to his party friends. His cool, passionless marshaling of facts and figures for the bill were in marked contrast with Mr. Reed's vigorous and rather comical attacks upon i t The greatest tariff debate since 1846 closed in the House of Representatives with the speeches of Messrs. Reed and Carlisle, and it should be said that the condnct of the debate and the speeches, pro and con, on the Mills bill have been worthy of tbe occasion. The leaders bave agreed upon a truce for ten days, during which tbe tariff bill will be laid aside and the House will proceed with other business. At the end of that time we will see whether a vote will be taken upon the Mills bill and the republican substitute for it, or whether the debate on sections of the bill will proceed, with amendments. fiucklen's Arnica Salve.

Cans, andMr. Breckinridge for the democrats who vwould reform the present tariff system. And from the crowded galleries of the House, witirtlieir rising tiers of seats like the old Colisetrm^ahe withstood of Rome, an immence throng of people looking down upon the floor as if into an arena. At the close of McKinley's brilliant effort the House went wild with enthusiasm. The republicans cheered with all their might and even many of the,democrats joined in congratulating him at its close. Ft was conceded to be the great speech of the debate on the protection side of the question. The greatest democratic speech followed immediately—and was by Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky. His speech had been looked forward to in and out of Congress. It came fully up to the expectations of the public, and at its close three chreers went up from the floor and' from the galleries. Every member arose from his seat and there was a general rush to seize the Orator's hand. Saturday was another great day in the House. The tariff talk was not so brilliant probably as on the preceding day, but long before the hour for the House to convene the galleries-were densely packed with people who had come to here speeches by the two ""acknowledged leaders of their respective parties, Speaker Carlisle and Mr. Reed, of Maine, and probably no single Deserving" Confidence. ' It is quite surprising to notice the numerous reports of remarkable cases of nervous deseases cured, sucji as headache, tits, nervous prostration, heart affections, St. Vitus dance, insanity, and prolonged sleeplessness, by Dr. iivlls" Restorative Nervine. Tin's new and "improved brain and .nervf food, and medicine, is everywhere gaining a remarkable reputation for curing the worst of these diseases, as well as the injurious effects of worry,, nervous irritation, mental and physical overwork.

Siller's session since 1876 has furnished more to entertain and interest spectators in the galleries than the hours of Saturday's closing debate *m the tariff. Mr. Reed keept his party friends pretty constantly occupied for two hours with laughter and applause, ano? made what was admitted-to be a grpat speech against the Mills tariff/bill.

U. in Coldwater the resolutions adopted were a declaration of principles stating that they rely upon a faith in God and Jesus; that post experience has taught them not to put faith in the promises of any party which makes the safety of the home second to other questions; that they petition congress to submit a constitutional amendment for prohibition in the Nation; that they petition the next legislature to enact a law providing severe penalties for inticing women of any age from their homes for immoral purposes; that the age of consent be raised to 18 years; that the legislature be petitioned for a law prohibiting the sale of "cigarettes and tobacco" to minors; that women use the right of suffrage at school meetings and petition for that right where they haven't i t ; that the legal test of franchise should not rest on basis of sex; that the practice of using pic* tures of nude women on the bill boards for advertising purposes should be protested against and that the press be asked to unite in denouncing the ''pernicious practice;" and that every effort be made through various agences afforded to keep the young from going astray.

Foley of Baltimore, has been appointed to succeed Caspar H. Borgoss as Bishop of the Detroit diocese. Dr. Foley is about 51 years old, an American by birth, and was educated in the American college at Rome. He commenced his priestly labors in Baltimore and founded a new parish which ho called St. Martin's. The parish grew, a new church was built, schools and seminaries were put up, until now the parish of St. Martin's is one of the most extensive in Baltimore. The diocese over which the new bishop will preside was founded in 1832. One year later Rt. Rev. Fredrie Rese.was consecrated the first bishop of Detroit. In 1841 he was succeeded by Rev. Paul Lefevre, who remained in charge of the diocese until his death in I860. Rev. Casper H. Borgess was consecrated bishop in 1870, but resigned the charge April 16, 1887. Very Rev. Edward Joos, who for over 30 years had charge of a church in Monroe, was appointed administrator May 9, 1887, and one week later took charge of the diocese. The appointment of a successor to Bishop Borgess has probably been delayed "by the celebration of the jubilee of the Pope throughout the world. m Murder and Suicide. A tragedy growing out of a religious difference between Edward William and his wife occurred a few miles from St. Charles, Saginftw county, the other day. Williams ana his wife had had some dispute about religious matters, and Mrs. Williams left her husband's home and took up her residence at the bouse of her father, about two miles distant.

Reversing the weapon he shot himself through the heart. Her father and the neighbor hearing the shot ruBhed in from the barn and found Williams lying on the floor dead. Mrs, Williams' injuries will prove fatal. ——-• Michigan News Briefly Told. Co. C. M. S. T. of Kalamazoo has been disbanded. J, K.

The recently enacted general emancipation bill of Brazil is very short, having only five brief articles: 1. Declaring free, from date of law, all slaves in the-empire. 2 Relieving from futher service the t-in genus," or free born children of slave mothers. 3. Localizing the now freedmen within their county for two years. 4. Empowering the executive to issue the necessary regulations, 5. Revoking all contrary provisions. Thus half a page of octavo sufficed for a law which emancipates over ri00,000 slaves and relieves from apprenticeship to the age of 21 years about 400,000 children of slave mothers born free by virtue of the law of September 18,1871. __ The voluntary emancipation m n w . ment initiated in St. Paulo had already taken Arm root in the province , of Rio Janeiro, as well as in Minas Gereas. Two brothers, Viscounts St. Clemente and Nova Friburgo, planters in the municipality of Cantagalio, freed unconditionally their 1,901» slaves, an example followed by a num , ber of lesser planters of the same county. One notable phenomenon of the era of enforced labor is tho anxiety of the freedmen to legalize their marriages, and to legitimize their offspring, as the Brazilian law permits by after marriage; and in St. Paulo the marrying capacity of the clergy, worked at the highest pressure, is insufficient to meet the demands of the ex-slaves for the sanction of the church and law to the "broomstick unions," which alone the <, policy of their owners had previously permitted them. ^ Five Men Killed.

CHAPTER IV (CONTINUED). At last the Clausons returned to England. Beatrice made no objection to rejoining the family circle. Her father and his wife lound her greatly changed, - h e was quieter, more reserved, more amenable to reason. It *, seemed to Sir Maingay that she had passed her time at ivJrs. Erskine's in study. The learning she had acquired almost frightened the baronet; but he was glad to see she had grown into a beautiful woman, and so he felt quite proud of his neglected daughter, and hoped that things would for the future run smoothly. His hopes were vain. This time there was no doubt as to with whom the fault lay. A beauty like Lady Ciauson, could not endure the constant presence of a younger, fresher and even more beautiful beauty. Relations soon grew strained, and toward the end of the year Beatrice wrote to her uncle?, and asked if they would give her a home She was now nearly twenty three. Having when she came of ag.; succeeded to her late mother's third of old Talbert's possessions, she was dependent both by age and by income. She was willing to live at Hazlewood house, if her uncles would take her. f not, she resolved to start an establishment • of her own. She was still in her former anomalous position - a baronet's daughter, who had never made a proper entrance into society. The Talbert s who liked what little they had seen of their niece went into solemn conclave on the request. They dec ded, in the event of S r Maingay giving his conse it—on that point they were rao.*t exacting—she might come to them, Sir aingay raised no objec-' tions, so eatrice Ciauson came to —Hazlewood—House,—where—sinoe—h&tarrival, about a week ago, she had. lived in a stute of amused wonder as the amiable peculiarities of the " T a b b ' e s " gradually revealed themselves to her. '-he had. of course, intended to make herself useful to her uncles. It may rmve been the want of some occupation other than study, which made her turn her eyes toward Hazlewood House, and the two bachelors. She was no longer a 8cho>l-girl, so at once broadly hinted that she was willing to regulate t^eir household matters T h e silent horror with which her proposal was received told her, at once, that her place was to bo a sinecure s h e saw that her uncles would on no account dream of instrusting their researches into- domestic economy to any hands save their own, und the'surpassing capability of those hands was deeply impressed upon her, when, the day after her arrival, she found Uncle Horace bending over the maid wh#rd:d the plain sewing, and in the pUientest and gravest way, teaching hei Lho most approved fashion of handling a n°edle and thread. After having lived at Hazlewood House for a week Miss Ciauson must have been ready to welcome any event, of interest 11 is no wonder that, when Horace albert a t Mr. Mordle1 s suggestion, walked into the drawing-room and told his neice what had happened, bar curiosity and excitement rose to a high pitch. * Ws it a pretty child?" she asked. "Wonderfully so. Mordle and Herbert are pett ng rt like a couple of w o m e n / 1 Beatrice did not run a t once to see for herself. "What do yon mean to d o about i t ? " she asked. " I don't know. I suppose we must keep it till to morrow and see if the mystery is explained. Yoi* had better come out and give us your advice." Beatrice walked into the h&L\ The child had m <de great progress daring Horace's absence. The curate was tickling bim and making him laugh. Herbert was stroking his bright hair in quite a paternal way. Even the res __ able VVhittiker was smiling pleasantly. *^What a dear little m a n r ' e x c l a i m e d Beatrice, ns she walked to the table and looked a t the sturdy urchin. She was the first woman the child had seen since he left his friends at the refreshment room. Maid servants, with the curiosity of their sex and kind had peeped surreptit ously over the balustrade, but had not attracted notice. A t such a tender age as his woman is a child's-natural protector. He at once quitted bis stalwart friends and ran across the table to the fair erirl, who smiled and opened her arms. The little man darted into them, and with a chirrup of delight laid his head on the j girl's shoulder and seemed perfectly happy and at rest He was so pretty that no woman could have refrained from caressing him. Miss Ciauson kissed him again a n d again, then, like every one who came n e a r him, fell to stroking his golden locks and twining them rouDd.ner fingers The child's eyes began to close under her soft and soothing touches •'He must go to bed," said Peatrice, decisively. "Certainly," said Uncle Horace. "Where had he better sleep?" '•Jane has a most comfortable bed," said Herbert. " v o . n o , " exclaimed Beatrice; " h e shall sleep with me. Look at him. Uncle Horace; isn't he a perfect cherub?" '•He's a very pretty little boy: but we don't know where he comes from, my dear. 1 hardly think you ought to take a strange infant to sleep with you." *bh, nonsense, Uncle Horace! See what a clean, beautiful boy it is. Whittaker, send a large can of" hot water to my roo n. Come, ray pet; I will see how I can acf the part of a nurse maid," Singing and croning a n d carrying the child in the most approved fashion, Miss Ciauson proceeded to bear her prize away. ' "Jfou had better look at his linen, Beatrice," said Horace. "It may be marked with his n a m e . " In about half an hour's time Beatrice reappeared with the intelligence that the boy's clothing bore no mark of any kind. Indeed, it all seemed brand-new. She was apparently much delighted with her new toy." She kept running up and down stairs to ascertain that her p-ouqc was sleeping the sleep of innocent babyhood. At last she went away altogether. "Beatrice is more demonstrative than I believed her to b e , " said Horace regretfully. Herbert echoed the regret, but .Mr. Mordle s a d nothing. He thought the instinctive kindness she showed toward this mysteriously sent child added another charm to the many ho had already discovered in Miss Ciauson. The throe men sat together until it was too late to hope that matters would be cleared up that night. Xo mother, no telegram came. • he curate bade his friends good-night and walked back to h s locl<nn s. m the village, thinking what a charming picture Miss Ciauson with the child in her arms made. Poor Mr. Mordle! He had only known Beatrice a week, and was already beginning to dre: n a foolish dream. The brothers continued sitting one on either side of the lire. They were not early-to bed people. Now that they were alone they said little more about the arrival. For three hours they had been discussing every possible theory which might account for the child's appearance among them, so the subject was threadbare, and they sat in silence trying to invent fresh causes. Suddenly a most curious and startling suspic'on entered Horace Talbert'.s mind—a suspicion which now and then made him glance at his , brothe:-. Con d Herbert by any chance know all about the matter? He had certainly seemed greatly taken with the little boy. Horace remembered how much at home the child had made himself with Herbert. Ho * when he, Horace, came i ut of the drawing-room w.tn eatrice, he had found Herbert patting and. stroking the little head. Could there be romantic passages in Herbert's life about which he knew nothing? He pooh-poohed the thought; but it came again and again. Just after one o'clock, a n d when the brothers were thinking of retiring, to their great surprisi- eatrice reappeared. She was in dainty d r e s s i n g gown and slippers. After waiting until Mr. Mordle must certainly have gone she had come do^n—of -mirse to hear if any more news had arrived. Uncle Horace, with his eyes rlxed on Herbert, expressed his conviction that no news was meant to arrive. "Then what will you d o ? " she asked, at last. " ^ e will wait until to-morrow, or the day after: then put the matter into the hands of the police." said Horace, decisively Herbert said nothing, so his brothers' suspicions increased Beatrice rose, as if to say good night. She stood for a while on the rug, apparently intently interested in a series of tiny circles which she was describing "with the point of one slipper, i resently she looked u p with a flushed ebeek and ' •poke in a quick harried w a r : "If nobody comes for the boy, would you mind my keeping h i n ?" "My dear!" cried Uncle Horace, a g h a s t "Here? She clasped her hands. "Oh, Uncle Horace, ' she said " I h a r e had such a dreary miserable life ever since 1 was seventeen. I have nothing to do — nothing to live for. I could be so happy with that dear child to look alter. * ome up a n d see bim sleeping. He is the sweetest baby." "Such nonsense, Beatrice!" Uncle Horace settled himself into his cha r and^&btfwed by the act on that a legion sleeping babie* would not induce him to go and look at their slumbering forms. " hen yon come, Uncle Herbert, '•'e is a prettier sight than any of your o l d masters " Herbert gave his quiet smile He was of less stern stuff than Horace that is. if*either of the < albert* could be called stern. He sutiered Beatrice to lead him to her room; duly admired the little stranger, then, with his nie*e, returned to Horace. After thus manifestation of < weakness Horace's unworthy suspicion was all but certa nty, '; You will let me keep h i m ? " pleaded Beatrice. " I am sure you will." Horace made no reply to her unrea- \ son-tble request In their usual ditrnitied m a n n e r the two gentlemen made their preparations for shutting up. Beatrice went back to her room. i "She grows very, very impulsive," j sighed h o r a c e . This time ' erbert said ' nothing. As he got into bed Horace Talbert told himself that Herbert knew \ all about the boy; he also told himself ; that no power on earth could induco him ' to tax h erbert with this knowledge. A ' m a n ' s private affairs were his own; property he himself had laid down j this dogma and must now stick to it; the more so because on a former occa- j sion he had luoken with Herbert for si* ! years because the latter h a d infringed on this rule. [TO HE C O N T I N U E D ] • A Love Story With a Moral. Once upon a t"me a so ip bubble, sailing gaily through- the summer air, espied a thistle bloom nodding in the green pasture below, and- -foolish little bubble! at once fell desperately in love with it. "What a comely low er!" it bubbled: " I wonder if it vvou'd bo offended should I dare to pav my addresses to it? At least I can do no better than to t r y . " Whereupon the smitten little ball of evanescence drifted slowly down to a point in front of the purple bloom, wh ch greeted it with a smile of encouragement, having as it appears, had the torch of love lighted in its interior, too, by the appearance of the iridescent stranger in the cerulean skies. I<ow, of cour-e. not a word of thistle could the bubble speak, nor could the bloom bubble, but there is a silent language of the heart, and they spoke it so eloquently th;it a maiden frog in a neighboring pond fell under the sweet-4« uence, and blushed an olive green cle.ir to the ends of her dainty toe?. But all stories must havo an ending, and th<> end of this one is that the fool sii bubble Jriod to kiss h a blooming sv\ cctheart: but no sooner did his lips come in contact with the ^coarse petals than, bubble-likr, it burst, drenching the poor flower with soap suds. And I he llower -why, it died too, the bubble having been th ollspring of Croton water and a a com pie x ion soap".

Chief Justice Waite meets the same fate and he was apparently the persjni icatit n of vigor. Drexel. t i e Philadelphia banker, and Brewster Ex-Atty. Cenl., were suddenly cut <>tt in the midst of great usefulness, by ) right's disease, and Dr. Carpenter, the well-known New York physician, suddenly died of Kidney disease, never haung suspected that he was at all troubled therewith! ' This reminds u3 of the ca^-e of Dr. Frank Hawthorn of New Orleans. He was lecturing before the Louisiana university on the pe ullarly deceptive character of Kidney disease and the methods of microscopical and chemical tests. After having shown specimen after !-j>e •iiiim of diseased fluids, and male very clear the point that kidney disease may exist without the knowledge or suspicion of tiie patient or practitioner, with graiotis self c nfidence ha remarked, "Now, gentlemen, let me show j ou the healthy water of a strong, well man.^5 He applies the test!

He was a victim of advanced Kidnev disease the pres uce of which in himself he had never suspected. L. U> PKICE, M. D., a gentleman and physiciau of the highest Btanding of Ifanover C. H., Va., four years a^o, after trying every other remedy for Bright's disease, including famous mineral waters, cured himself by Warner's Safe Cure, and March 24, 1S88, wrote: "I nave never had the slightest symptoms of my old and fearful trouble," MK. JOHN DOHEKTY. of Concord, N. H., was given up with Bright's disease by the best physicians in 1S79. He was in a dreadful state, After using and bein^ eured in lssi by Warner's Safe Cure, in 1SS7 he wrote: "I am better than ever." JOHN COLEMAN. Esq.. 100 Gregory St., New Haven, Conn., was first taken sick in ISTrt, gradually ran down until he had pronounced Bright's disease, rheumatism and all the other deceptive signs of kidney disease. The best physicians in New Haven could do nothing for him. He then began using Warner's Safe Cure, 200 bottles of which he and his family have used and he is cured. W. T. CRAWFORD, proprietor St. Charles Hotel, Richmond, Yu., and well known all through the South, several years ugo was in the death-agony from kidney disease^ convulsions and Bright's disease. The best Philadelphia specialists in such diseases pronounced him practically dead and incurable. Everything else failing. He took Warner's Safe Cure abundantly and regularly, until fully restored To health, and now he says: "After a lapse of many years I am as sound as a dollar, with no H.vmj^img of luyold trouble. 1 owe uiv life to Warner's Safe Cure." Kidney disease is the moit deceptive, the moat uni\er-al and the most fatal disease. It the most learned rneh cannot know without the ise o: micros ojical and chemical tests that they have kidney disease, how much more liable is the layman to be, unknown to himself, in the very jaws of death, who does not feel as well as formerly, but who dees not think anything sp rially ails him, and whose physician may assuro him that he will soot be "all right.

T h e r e are horses t h a i have n e v e r been seen to lie down, and if they have ever d o n e f>o, it was only for a s h o r t time, ami at an h o u r w h e n they were not likely to bo seen. X o m a r k s h a v e ever been discovered upon t h e i r coats t h a i wonkl indicate t h a t they h a d been '•• lying d o w n . A horse is recalled n o w ; that stood for lifteen years, from the t me he Was t w o years old, in a stall at the e n t r a n c e of ihe stable. U p to the hour he d ed no one had ever seen him lying down, :u\i\ several times after wearisom e drives of eight or leu hours . >yatoh was placed upon him lo see if d u r i n g the night ie- would lio down, but he was m-vcr caught in t h a t position, and he couid-not be t e m p t e d to reelinu by the s w e e t o t and cleanest of bedding.

Unless a horse lies d o w n r e g u l a r l y his rest c a n n o t be complete, ami his joints and sinews stiffen; a n d while d is true that some horses that sleep in a s t a n d . n g position continue to woYk for m a n y years, it is equally true t h a t they would c o m b i n e to work for many years longer, and perform their w o r k mucii heller, if they rested n a t u r a l l y .

Lord Salisbury, and w:,s his private sccrct\ "*v for four years, d o . to IS^O, and with him a t t e n d e d the Berlin Peace Congress. Balfour is now. forty years old. but is extremely youthful and handsome in appearance. He was educated at Eton and DM.FOVR. Trinity College, Cambridge. Edinburgh University gave him tho honorary degree of LL.D, and he has published several books and pamphlots. The most important of his books is a treatise on the "Defense of Philosophic Doubt." For a long time Balfour was i, good deal in doubt, whether philosophically or not, where he should stand politically, as he was attached to neither the Liberals, or Conservatives, and eschewed the Homo. Rulers. Since the accession of his Tory, uncle to the Primo Ministership ho lias de-' velopod strong Tory habits, and <vuld hardiy bo tokl now from an old fashioned dyodto- tt.o-wooi conservative.

V •K* ^¾ T W O CAUCUSES. of Both Parties Take Action on the Tariff. ft: 4 u\ Otb*r W a a h t a f t e * News, a caucus of republican members t h e f day the following resolution was unaniadopt ed: alvod, That it is t h e sense of this cuu- «Qs that the pending tariff bill be taken up K and considered in committee of the whole under the five minute rule in the usual way, section by soction and paragraph by paragraph. Deraocratfc members of the house held a conference at the Bame time to consider the various propositions laid before the majority of the committee on ways and means several days ago in the form of amendments to the Mills tariff bill. The views of the democratic members of the committee were first stated, and then t h e bill w a s taken up and t h e proposed amendments were considered in the order in which they applied to the measure. A number of articles were taken from the free list and placed on the dutiable list. Congressman Tarsney mado an earnest appeal for the restoration of the d u t y on salt, but no action was token on.his proposition. The President has signed the bill limiting the hours of letter carriers in cities. The night force in the government printing office wantj*80,000 extra compensation. The house judiciary committee will report thto copyright bill favorably, amending it to include chromos in the articles protected. In the senate a fow days ago Mr. Stewart advocated a constitutional amendment by which a majority vote of congress would bo sufficient to pass a bill over a presidential veto. There is a proposition before congress, designed to bring about the annexation of Canada to the United States. At least this is claimed to be the primary objeet of Col. Wilson's proposed amendments to the inter state commerce law, which have received snch favorable attention. Col. Wilson thinks that by adopting the "freezing out'' process towards Canadian roads Canada will be compelled to Join t h e United States. Col. Wilson is very frank, indeed, and says that annexation is the main purpose in view, and not a remote consequence of the adoption of his amendments. Some time ago numerously signed .petitions in favor of a postal telegraph system were presented to the house committee on telegraphs. No action has been taken on the mutter, and this delay leads General Master Workman Powderly to say that he could have procured 5,000,000 signatures of knights and citizens. Powderly is preparing another blank to be sent out for the same purpose. Representative Fisher has submitted to Chairman Mills his views on tariff reform, and in the same communication says .he wants the free list extended in behalf of Michigan interests. The senate committee on commerce has decided not to purchase the. Portage lake canal. The vote in committee was a tie. Senator Palmer will now try it in the senate. A bill has been introduced by Senator "Turpie providing for a directory of the most skilled mechanics and artisans in all parts of the country. The commissioner of labor is annually to compile, from the best and most authentic sources, a book the size of the army aud navy register which will contain the names and addresses of persons of known excellence in their vicinity in any line of skilled labor or mechanism. It is to be>^erised every year. The President lias approved the act an thoriiingthe President to arrange a conference between the United States of America and republics of Mexico, Central and South America, Ha.vti, San Domingo and the empire of Brazil. The river and harbor bill, with amendments. h:is been reported to the senate. The bill appropriates fttl ,88M,7&1, an increase of .$1,788,000. The senate has passed the bill reviving the grade of "general of tho army," and conferring it on Lieut, (km. Sheridan. Senators Berry. Coke. Harris, Reagan, Salisbury. Vance and Wilson of Maryland voted in the negative. Mrs. Sheridan has written to Senator Manderson thanking him for his agency in passing the bill restoring the grade of general. Senator Dawes has introduced a bill for the relief of the freedmenin the Chickasaw Nation. The bill provides for the removal of the freedmeu in the Chickasaw Nation to lands west of the 96th meridian in that territory ceded to the United States by the Seminole Indians. The number of eligibles upon the register of the civil service commission, available for appointment to the grade of fourth assistant examiner in t h e patent office, and to the grade of special pension examiner in the pension office is very small, and in order to adequately supply these registers tho commission will hold special examinations at a number of leading cities during Juno. They will hold an examination at Detroit Juno 'Jtf.

Gentlemen :—Ono of your circulars came to my notice to-day, and it reminds me of an old and very valuable friend, one that saved my life V2 years aero, and because I had not needed its help since, I had almost forgotten it. I was 10 years old, and suffering from menstrual derangement; I coughed continually and had chills every day. I w a s - a s miseruble as I could bo and live. A lady who knew the cause of my illness persuaded my mother to have me use Zoa-Phora—it was called Woman's Friend then. Before I had used one bottle my cough and chills ceased. I kept on and used two bottles and they brought me out all righA. I afterwards married and am now the mother of three nice hearty children. I feel that I owe a great deal to Zoa-Phora. I hope it will become well known, and that every woman and girl who needs it wilfuse it. If you will .send mo some circulars I will give them to acquaintances, aud do all I can to help you.

DK. PIEKCK'S GOLDEN MKDICAL DISCT>VEHY acts powerfully upon the Liver, mid through that great blood-purifying organ. cleanses tho system of all blood-taints und impurities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kidneys, and other excretory organs, clesjpsing, strengthening, and hcitling their diseases. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes digestion and nutrition, thereby building.up both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chilis and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases. Mrs. I. V. WEBBER, of Yorkshire, Cattaraugus Co., X.

SALT-RHEUM AMD RHEUMATISM "ConfMBCS. OHIO, Aug, 18th, 1SS7. WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 6ti3 Main Street, BuiTalo, N. Y.: Gentlemen—For several j-cai-s I have felt it to be my duty to give to you the facts i:i relation to the complete cure of a most uggruvated casn of lalT-rhounit by the u.*e of YOUI 'Golden Medical Discovery. An elderly lady relative of mine had been a great sufferer from salt-rheum for upwards of forty years. Tho disease was most distressing in Uer hands, causing the skin to crack open on the inside of the fingers at the Joints and between tho fingers. She was obliged to protect the raw places by means of adhesive plasters, salves, ointments and bandages, and during the winter months had. to have ber hands dressed dally. Tho pain was quite severe at times and her general health was badly affected, paving the way for other diseases to creep in. Catarrh and rheumatism caused a great deal of suffering In addition to tho salt-rheum. She had used faithfully, and with the most commendable perseverance, all the remedies prescribed by her physicians, but without obtaining relief. She afterwards began treating herself by drinking teas made from blood-purifying roots aud nerbs. She continued this forsuverfil yeari Vint d*. rived no benefit. Finally, about ten years ago, I chanced to read ono of Dr. Pierce's small pamphlets setting forth tho merits of his ' Golden Medical Discovery "and other medicines. The mime struck my fancy, and seeing that it was essentially a blood-purifier. I immediately recommended it to the old ludy who had been so long a sufferer I'rom salt-rheum. She commenced taking it at once, and took one bottle, but seemed to be no better. However, I realized that it would take time for any medicine to effect a change for the better, and encouraged her ^> rvmrimi*.—She then purchased a— -ualf-a-duzen D&tLles, and beiore tnese had all been used she began to notice an improvement. After taking about a dozen bottles she was entirely cured. Her bands were perfectly well and us smooth and healthy as a child's. Her general health was also gmitly improved; the rheumatism entirely left her, and the catarrh wa<; almost cured, so that it ceased to be much annoyance. She has enjoyed excellent health from that day to this, and has bad no return of either salt-rheum or rheumatism. The 'Discovery* seems to have entirely eradicated the salt-rheum from her svstem. She is now over eighty years old, and very healthy for one o'f such extreme age. I have written this letter, of which you can make any use vou see fit, hoping that some sufferer from salt-rhcum might chance to read it and obtain-relief by using your 'Golden Medical Discovery ' —for 'Golden' It is in Its curative properties, «nd *« wmr>h y»>ov<i— -the multitude of nostrums and so-called 'patent medicines," so zealously flaunted before the public, as gold is above the baser nieuls.

WASHINGTON, Jvnsz 5th, 1888, There is a- strong probability that you will bear of the death ot General Sheridan before this letter reaches you. His t e m p o r a r y improvement on S a t u r d a y was followed by a serious «lapse. Physicians and a priest are in •constant attendance at his bedside, and bis family are quite alarmed. The General of the Army is suffering from valvular failure of the heart, and although he has understood the gravity ot the situation from the beginning, his mind is tranquil, and he expresses hope for thejpestv. But nothfng can be more unsatisfactory than the military secretiveness which surrounds the s,ick chamber of General Sheridan. As has bee a said he is the last great figure of t h e war, a n d the thousand* of veterans who followed his leader ship and fough the fight, eagerly ask ot news concerning his condition. Still the public is barred from all save the most meagre information, as if he were surrounded by the enemy. T h e House ot Representatives has given much ot its time d u r i n g the week to the consideration of Appro priation bills, and the Senate has been most of the time in secret session with the Fisheries treaty. The bill to establish a department of labor has been passed by both houses. S3nator Reagan, of Texas, spoke lengthily in opposition to this bill. He said if the founders ot the Republic could bear the way labor questions are discussed in Congress these days, they would blush "tor shame on account ot the degeneracy and lack of manhood ot their descendants in dealing with them. Upon hearing this an irreverent, waggish scribbler added that no doflbt tbib is so. If g h o s ^ e v e r hlush, doubtless it is when tbey visit the United States Senate Chamber. The Senate convenes dairy at twelve o'clock M. On Wednesday it adjourned at two o'clock in order to attend the funeral of the wife of Senator Sawyer, ot WiRconsin, a mark of respect which, it is said, has never been paid to any Sena*e before. •-, The Senate has passed a bill increasing the militia Appropriation from $400,000 to $600,00(). The bouse has had an unusual a m o u n t of fun d u r i n g the week, notwithstanding the fact t h a t prosy Appropriation bills have had the right of way. J u s t before the Postoffice Appropriation bill was passed the Westtern Republicans told all the bad things they could think of about the new democratic postmasters out there. Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, told tales a b o u t the postmasters out in bis count r y who send out t h e mails only when they accumulate a sack full. He related for a fact [that a certain postmaster called upon the Administration ior pome postage stamps and they were sent to him in large blocks or sheets. H e had never seen them in t h a t form before, the two or three t h a t he had had occasion to buy d u r i n g the course at his life had always b€«n separateones, and when they came in t h a t torm he t h o u g h t they were circus posters, and pasted them u p on the door of his office. He called his wife to w h a t the "durned fools had sent h i m from Washington, when he had written them for stamps.". He said the circus riders were all alike, and no place was given where the show was to come off. Over a section of the Legislative Appropriation bill the House indulged in so much laughter that the Congressional Record mentioned, in brackets, that an hour of the session was devoted to laughter. Much ot J h e f u n was over the proposition to increase the Chaplain's salary from $900 to a larger figure. Mr. Springer said the House Chaplain was old and nstfcled money. Mr. Browne, of Indiana, inquired if there, was increased necessity of prayer. Mr. Springer replied that ''members had no idea ol the great power needed to bring salvation to a body like this," inquired if it was necessary to have a very able m a n for Chaplain. Another flippant member, Mr. Allen, of Michigan, answered t h a t it. always required a high order of ability to deal with an immature mind; therefore the Chaplain of the House should be a man of considerable ability. Then M r . Hoiman, the old "watch dog of the Treasury," 6aid $10 a day was too much for the House to pay tor prayer, and the majority agreed with him, for it voted down an increase. There was more hilarity over the wages of the emp'oyes of the Botanic Gardens. One member proposed to abolish the whole thine;, and another inquired what would than become of Mr. Springer and his daily bouquet. (The latter ^always wears a boutonniere), and the latter replied t h a t he never got a bouquet from the Botanic Gardens in bis life. Mr. Cobb said t h a t at present beautiful flowers were sent daily to certain favored members, but whence thev came he did not know. H e only knew t h a t they were not sent to members whose wives were here with them. Oh! 4 Mr, Grosvenor opposed an increase on the ground that the next House will be a-better one t h a n this a n d w,ill not sfctd se> much praying, M r . Strube fincklen's Arnica Sal ye.

In it are located the 8e*»ts of life and mind, and the control of all the bodily organs. When the nerves are destroyed, tbe part is paralysed. The flesh, blood and bones are as .nothing to it.

"I never in my life,' says John Wanmaker of Philadelphia, -used such a thing as a poster, a dodger, or a bandbill. My plan for fifteen years bad been to put so much space in a newspaper and fill it u p with what^I wanted. I would not give an advertisement in a newspaper of 400 circulation for 5,000 dodgers and posters. If I wanted to sell cheap jewelry or r u n a lottery scheme I might use posters, but I wouldn't insult a decent reading public with handbills. We clip the following from the Sueridan News, whijh will be a guard to the people in this vicinity: Look out and don't. U-t this swindle be worked on you. A book agent goes to town, pets subscription to a book to be delivered at a certain date. A short time afterr ards another agent calls, delivers the books, get the cash and departs. At the appointed,time the first agent appears with his book, and as he knows nothing about the other man, iasists on being paid, and as the law is on his side the subscriber is obliged to take the second hook. • Brighton Argus: To show how particular you must be with Uncle Sam and be with you. we will just cite you to a little circumstance which occurred yesterday. In remitting P. M. Kennedy, according to the postoffice depa ' , was just one cent short for the first quarter of this year's business, and he was promptly notified to remit at once, 'l^o do this he was compelled to make out a full money order certificate and go through the same routine as if he was disposing of an hundred dollars instead of a cent. Practically it cost mi!' dear old nncle about fifty cent's worth of time and labor to get one. but his principal is correct. Ann Arbor Courier: If people would remunb-er this item and take the trouble to act upon it, they would find it true: "In the ventilatioa of cellars the mistake is frequently made of introducin^'air, from without, which is considerable warmer than that contained within them. Instead of making them eoM^and airy, which is tbe le-M-ed objrcH they are thereby rendered warm and damp; lor the warm air, although raising tbe temperature of that in i he cellar, is itself cool and d e p - i t s its moisture, which makes itself evident as., palpable dampness. Coiiaequei.tly in warm weather the ventilation of cedars should be earned on at nitflf. the cellar being kept closed Li/'twetn .-unrise and sunset." The•foiiowi'.ijz t*ocd advice we copy from the Ann Arbor Argus: The men who won't work when they can and become tiau.i'S under tbe mistaken idea that u:r v.oiid owes them a living any way are only too numerous.

Last October there appeared in Saginaw a man of bronzed complexion and swelling port, who proclaimed himself a patrician Greek from Athens. H e learned incidentally that Mary Benrose, a widow who kept a fane; store, had a tidy bank account and began to pay her marked attention. He was often in her store telling her about the ancient glories of his country and its classic ruins. What the name of this man is the widow will not tell, but she became fascinated with the Greek. He wooed her ardently, and finally popped the question. He told her if she accepted him they would return, to his native country, live in grand style and rank with the best in the land. She accepted, and they were married in Saginaw. She then closed up her shop and made preparations to move to Greece. As hoiKSreek spouse was short of funds just then, she paid the passage money for him, herself and two children, one a 10- ¾ear-old boy, the other a little girl of tt years. Ler husband would promptly repay her, of course, when they reached there. But, after reaching his native city, the Greek's funds stilt continued limited, a fact which he plausibly explained away for several weeks. % His wife then became distrustful. Her money was fast vanishing. Her hushand contributed nothing to her support or his own. She finally investigated and discovered he had no money whatever and was an utterly worthless character in evory way. She confronted him with the proofs of his deception and he left her. Her money was now all gone. She determined upon returning to America, and to do so had to appeal for passage money to the board of foreign missions and the American legation. She reached New York and was taken in hand by the American bible society. They passed her over to the department of charities and corrections, and she and her two children were returned to Saginaw. The unfortunate woman ia handsome, well educated and roll tied The "Women Resolve. At the annual, meeting of the W. C. T. U. in Coldwater the resolutions adopted were a declaration of principles stating that tb*y rely upon a faith in God and J e s u s ; that past experience has taught them not to put faith in the promises of any party which makes the safety of the home second to other questions; t h a t they petition congress to submit a constitutional amendment for prohibition in the Nation; that they ]>etit ion the next legislature to enacta law providing severe penalties for inticing women of any age from their homes for immoral purposes: that the age of consent be raised to 18 years; that the legislature be petitioned for a law prohibiting the sale of "cigarettes ami tobacco" to minors; that women use the right of suffrage at school meetings and petition for that right where they haven't it; that the legal test of franchise should not rest on basis of sex; that the practice of using pictures of nude women on the bill boards for advertising purposes should be protested against and that the press be asked to unite in denouncing the "pernicious practice;" and that every effort be made through various agences afforded to keep the young from going astray. A resolution was passed favoring a memorial to the legislature to prohibit saloons within a mile of Michigan university: A resolution regarding the action of the M. E. general conference was adopted. It said that as christian women the union note the action with surprise and regret as unjust to the large and most devoted majority of its membership.

TH» PlaMerm Adopt**. The prohibition national convention assembled in Indianapolis, Ind., May SO. T h e entire first day was occupied in preliminary Arrangements, and nothing of any importance w a s accomplished. On the morning of the 31st the convention again assembled and proceeded to get into a tangle on the rule limiting debate on the suffrage question, those moat interested in this probable plank in the platform objecting seriously to so circumscribing debate. Those favoring an extention of the time of debate were led by Rev. W. T. Mill* of Ohio, and Delegate Bascozn of Massachusetts. The latter gentleman moved to extend the debate on the suffrage plank to four hours, the leading speakers to Deselected by the two parties and confine the debate to them. On this the previous question was moved and it was voted down. The rules were then adopted as reported, and thus the first battle on the suffrage question ended without a decisive victory for either side, as various delegates favoring the extension of time oppose woman suffrage. The convention next proceeded to the collection of voluntary contributions, and nearly ¢35,000 were contributed toward the expenses of the campaign. At the afternoon session Secretary Sam. Small of the convention and t h e committee on resolutions submitted the following: The prohibition party, in national convention assembled, acknowledging Almighty God as the source of all power in government, do hereby declare • 1. That the manufacture, importation, exportation, transportation and sale of alcoholic bev erages shall be made public crimes, and punished as such. 2, That such prohibitu>ii must be_8ecureci through amendments of our national and state'constitutions, enforced by adequate laws adequately supi>orted by administrative authority; and to this end the organization of the prohibition party is imperatively demanded in state and nation. :i That any form of license taxation or regulation of the liquor traffic is contrary to good government; that any party which supports regulation, license or tax enters into an alliance with such traffic and becomes the actual foe of the state's welfare, and that we arraign the republican and democratic parties tor their persistent atti- •ndo in favor of the licensed iniquity, whereby they oppose the demand of the people for prohibition, and through open complicity with the liquor traffic defeat the enforcement of law. 4. For the immediate abolition of the internal revenue system, whereby our national government is deriving support from our greatest natioual vice. :>. That an adequate public revenue being necessary, it may properly be raised by i>ort duties and by an equitable assf^sSment UMon the propertv and legitimate business q' the country; but imppj'truuties should be •io reduced that iiosurpT1'8 shall be accumulated in the trjM^fTry. and that the burdens •if tax:Ujj>rrM\all be removed from foods, l-vtAfrhtgand- other comforts and necessaries "life ' ' ('. T'u\t civil service appointments for all f'ivil ofH 'os chiefly clerical in their duties should he based upon moral, intellectual and '••hysie;.*.! qualifications, and not upon party service or party necessity. 7 That the right of suffrage rests on no mere cTeumstance of race, color, sex or nationality, aud that where, from any •an so. it ha** been withheld from citizens who •ire of suitable age and mentally and morally Miiaiitied for tho exercise of an intelligent h\'lot. it should be restored by the jwople through the legislatures of the several states, on such educational basis as they may ^1 corn wise <, For the abolition of polygamy aud the establishment of uniform laws governing ma-p-iye and divorce. It. For prohibiting: all combinations of capital to control and to increase the cost of nreducts for popular consumption. 10. For the preservation and defense, of the Sabbath as a civilinstitu+ion without oppressing any who religiously observe the same on unv other day than the first day of the week. That arbitration is the christian, wise and economic method of settling national differences, and the same method should, by judicious legislation, be applied to the settlement of disputes between large bodies of employes and employers; that the abolition of the saloon would remove the burdens, moral, physical, pecuniary and social, which now oppress lahor. and rob it of its earnings, and would prove to be the wise and successful way of promoting labor reform, and we invite labor and capital to unite with us for *he accomplishment thereof; that monopoly in land is a wrong to the people, and the public lands should be reserved to actual settlers, and that men and women should receive equal wages for equal work. 11. That our immigration laws should be so enforced as to prevent the introduction into our country of all convicts, inmates of dependent institutions and of others physiorlly incapacitated for self-support, and that no person should have the ballot in nny state who is not a citizen of the United • States. Rec^Tr'zinir and declaring that prohibition of tho liquor traffic had become the domhumt issue in national polities, we invite to full party fellowship all 'hose who. on this one dominant issue, are with us inrreedin the full belief thot this party can and will remove sectional differences, protnoto national unity and insure the best nation for t h e rioe-prejidency.

B L A I N E ' S U L T I M A T U M . Refuses tbe Nomination Under Any Circumstances. The New York Tribune of May 30 publishes the following letter from Mr. Blaine: P A R I S , May 17, 1SS8. Whltelaw Reid, Esq., Editor New York Tribune. M Y D E A R SIR—Since my return to P a r i s from Southern Italy on the 8th instant, I have learned (what I did not before believe) that my name may yet be presented* to the national convention as a candidate for the presidontal nomination of the republican party. A single phrase of my letter of January 25 from Florence (which was decisive of everything I had the personal power ,to decide) has been treated by many of my most valued friends as not absolutely conclusive in ultimate and possible contingencies. On the other hand, friends equallydevoted and disinterested have construe/1 my letter (as it should be construed) to be an unconditional witholding of my name from t h e national convention. They have in consequence given their support to eminent gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago nomination—some of whom would not, I am sure, have consented to assume that position if I had desired to represent the party in the presidential contest of 1888. If I should now, by speech or by silence by commission or omission, permit my name, in any event, to come before t h e convention I should incur the reproach of being uncandid with those who have always been candid with me. I speak, therefore, because I am not willing to remain in a doubtful attitude. I am not willing to bo the cause of misleading a single man among the millions who have given me their suffrages and their confidence. I am uot willing that even ono of my faithful supporters in the past should think me capable of paltering in a double sense with my words. Assuming that the presidential nomination could by any possible chance be offered to me, I could not accept it without leaving in tho mirlds, of thousands of these men the impression that I had not been free indirection, and, therefore, I eould-ntTt accept it at all. The misrepresentations of malice have no weight^-Jnft the just displeasure of frieiyis^Tcould not patiently endure. KepublicuTi victory, t h e - prospects of wJji*4fgrow brighter every day, can be imerilled only by lack of unity in council or by acriminous contest over men. The issue of protection is uncalculably stronger and greater than any man, for it concerns the prosperity of the present and of generations yet to come. Were it ]K>ssible for every voter of the republic to see for himself the condition and recompense of labor in Europe the party of free trade in the United States would not receive, the support of one wage worker betweenvthe two oceans. It may not be directly in ohr power as philanthropists to elevate the European laborer, but it will be a lasting stigma upon our statesmanship if we pevmit the- American laborers to be forced down to the European level. And in the end the rewards of labor everywhere will be ad vaneed if wo steadily refuse to lower the standard at home. Yours very sincerely, <Sieued) JAMES G. BI.AINK. DETKOIT M A i l t t K T i .
