The Michigan Press Association at Grand Rapids elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Perry F. Powers, Cadillac; Vice, C. T. Fairchild, Grand Rapids; Secretary, Fred Slocum, Caro; Treas. M. H. Millar. The next meeting will be held at Saginaw. On Tuesday evening of last week while a number of y o u n g men were in bathing in the river at Hudson, one of the number, whose n a m e is Fred Doddigan, was drowned. He has been employed by Mr. S. Taylor for a number of years, and bore an excellent reputation. The remains were taken to his home at Ann Arbor, where they were buried. Rev. J. M. Gelston performed the ceremony at the marriage of John Turner, of Webster, and Miss E d n a Stephens of Dexter, at the residence of the bride's parents, last F r i d a y . - - A n n Arbor Register. The bride was a former resident of this village and her many friends will join with the DISPATCH in extending congratulations to the newly wedded couple. Dr. H . F. Sigler of Pinckney. Mich., returned home last Monday after nearly two weeks' visit with Banker Ed. T. Kearney, at this place. Dr. Sigler is an esteemed, old home acquaintance of Mr. Kearney, the latter having been in his employ before coming west. The visit from his old-time friend was much appreciated by Mr. Kearney.— The Jackson (Dak.) Criterion. The following from the Livingston Herald speaks well of the new firm: " W a l t e r Barnard and Bert Campbell haye bought the Mann Bros, stock ^ general merchandise at Pinckney and will take possession in about a month. It would be difficult to unite two better young rr.e,n in one firm t h a n these two and the Herald congratulates Pinckney people on their location there." It has been truly said that advertising as a means of prosperity, is not, understood as it should be. Nothing can take its place. It is a rfact that one who has advertised 1 ibexajly___arul systematically has felt like disputing that it was the best money he put into business. As a horse was never made fat by a single bushel of oats, so a single advertisement is never a perfect test of the benefits of advertising. The man with genuine wares to sell who advertises them in the right way without success would be a curiosity. "While Dr. H . F. Sigler was returning frojn,a visit with Dakota and Iowa friends.Tast week, the train that he was on collided with another, killing the fireman and severely injuring the engineer. Although the Dr. escaped injury the car t h a t he was in was thrown down an imbankment and he was pinned under a seat so that he was obliged to call for aid to be extricated. It was a very lucky accident for him. The Shepherd News speaks as follows of one of our former citizens: " J . J . Murphy left Tuesday morning for Big Rapids, where he went in the interest of Belford, Clark it Co., of Chicago, having accepted a n agency for this state from t h a t firm. Joe has a good thing, and knows how to take caro of it. His firm owns one of the largest publishing housos in the country, and his work will consist in establishing county agencies t h r o u g h o u t the state," The local option bill which passed the senate and becomes a law cannot take effect until 00 days after the session ends. The bill places on the county supervisors the authority to call a special option election after receiving a petition to that effect from one fifth of the qualified voters of the county. If a special election results in favor of prohibition the supervisors aru given power to prevent the sale of liquor in tiie county by the adoption of a resolution in t h a t etl'ect, but are under no compulsion to adopt such a resolution. Mann Bros., who have been in the general merchandise business in this place for a number of years, and haVe gained a large patronage, have sold their stock of goods to Messrs. Walter Barnard of Howell, and W. B. Campbell of Detroit, who will form a partnership and continue the business. While we regret to lose the firm of Macn Bros., we welcome t a e new firm to our lively little village. Both members of the new firm are so well •known throughout this county t h a t no recommendation is needed. They will take possess'on about August first. Success to the new firm. Rev. C. B. Case of Unadilla, has made arrangements to hold a "grov.e meeting" near J o s h n Lake in Lyndon, J u l v 2G, 27 and 28. H e will be assisted by many ministers from abroad, among them will be Rev. Joslin, o u r Presiding Eider, a n d Bro. Knapp of Albion, who will bring with him charts, with which he will explain how easy it is to get from k-Egypt into Canaan." And say, friends, there is to be someone else there. The Lord • has promised to come and bring a special blessing for everyone who is willing to receive it. Come over Pinckney people and enjoy these meetings with us. **-*,• In giving an account of the Fourth, of July celebration at Jackson, Dakota, the Criterion speaks as follows of one of Pinckney's former citizens, Mr, Ed. T. Kearney : ;*At the appointed hour, and after all had partaken of their basket dinners or feasted at t h e well-laden tables, Prof. Jos. A. Hall, the orator of the day, delivered his address. His remarks were made in a clear, loud and impressive manner a n d were highly appreciated. Following . Mr. Hall, Banker Ed. T. Kearney took the stand and a t considerable l e n g t h discoursed on th3 '"Advantages c*f Oar Country Over Others." It was the jommon remark that Mr. Kearney's address, so far as thought, research and logical statements are concerned, was one of the ablest efforts ever made by any individual at any time in this section. While Mr. Kearney has no pretentions as a n orator, he convinced ail who heard him. on this oceusion that ho was a speaker of great -merit and vast depth, surpassed perhaps by none and equalled by few in this part of the state.

The bride was a former resident of this village and her many friends will join with the DISPATCH in extending congratulations to the newly wedded couple. Dr. H.-F. Sigler of Pinckney. Mich., returned home last Monday after nearly two weeks' visit with Banker Ed. T. Kearney, at this place. Dr. Sigler is an esteemed, old home acquaintance of Mr. Kearney, the latter having been in his employ before coming west. The visit from his old-time friend was much appreciated by Mr. Kearney.— The Jackson (Dak.) Criterion. The following from the Livingston Herald speaks well of the new firm: "Walter Barnard and Bert Campbell haye bought tbe Mann Bros, stock of general merchandise at Pinckney and will take possession in about a month. It would be difficult to unite tfto better young msn in one firm than these two and the Herald congratulates Pinckney people on their location there." It has been truly said that advertising as a means of prosperity, is not, .aritxLQd_aiJ±-j^auid^.bfii_.^Huiig. can take its place. It is a fact that one who lias advertised liberally and systematically has felt like disputing that it was the best money he put into business. As a horse was never made fat by a single bushel of oats, so a single advertisement is never a perfect test of the benefits- of advertising. The man with genuine wares to sell who advertises them in the right way without success would be a curiosity. While Dr. H. F. Sigler was returning from a visit with Dakota and Iowa friends, last week, the train that he was on collided with another, killing the fireman and severely injuring the engireer. Although the Dr. escaped injury the car that he was in was thrown down an imbankment and he was pinned under a seat so that he was obliged to call for aid to be extricated. It was a very lucky accident for him. The Shepherd News speaks as follows of one of our former citizens: "J. J. Murphy left Tuesday morning for Big Rapids, where he went in the interest of Belford, Clark & Co., of Chicago, having accepted an agency for this! state from that firm, Joe has a good I thing, and knows how to take care of it. His firm owns one of the larg«st publishing houses in the country, and his work will consist in establishing county agencies throughout the state," The local option bill which passed the senate and becomes a law cannot take effect until 90 days after the ses-1 sion ends. The bill places on the' county supervisors the authority to call a special option election after receiying a petition to that effect from one fifth of the qualified voters of the county. If a special election results in favor of prohibition the supervisors ara given power to prevent the sale of hepuor in the county by the adoption of a resolution in that effect, but are under no compulsion to adopt such a resolution. Mann Bros,, who have been in the general merchandise business in this place for a number of years, and have gained a large patronage, have seld their stock of goods to Messrs. Walter Barnard of Howell, and VV. B. Campbell of Detroit, who will form a partnership and continue the business. While we regret to lose the firm of Mann Bros., we welcome the new firm to our lively little village. Both members of the new firm are so well "known throughout this county that no recommendation is needed. They will take possession about August first. Success to the new firm. Rev. C. B. Case of Unadilla, has made arrangements to hold a "grov.e meeting" near Joslm Lake in Lyndon, Julv 26, 27 and 2S. He will be assisted by many ministers from abroad, among them will be Rev. Joslin, our Presiding Elder, and Bro, Knapp of Albion, who will bring with him charts, with which he will explain how easy it is to get from "Egypt into Canaan." And say, friends, there is to be someone else there. The Lord has promised to come and bring a special blessing for everyone who is willing to receive it. Come over Pinckney people and enjoy these meetings with us, %•*... In giving an account of the Fourth of July celebration at Jackson, • Dakota, the Criterion speaks as follows of one of Pinckney's former citizens, Mr. Ed. T. Kearney: u At the appointed hour, and after all had partaken of their basket dinners or feasted at the well-laden tables, Prof. Jos. A. Hall, the orator of the day, delivered his address. His remarks were made in & clear, loud and impressive manner and were highly appreciated. Following Mr. Hall, Banker Ed. T. Kearney took the stand and at considerable length discoursed on this ''Advantages of Oar Count.iy Over Others." It was the common remark that Mr. Kearney's address, so far as thought, research and logical statements are concerned, was one of the ablest efforts ever made by any individual at any time in this section. While Mr. Kearney has no pretentions as an orator, he convinced;til who heard him on this occasion that ho was a speaker of great merit and vast depth, sur- "parsed i^FtTTpT by•"Trnmr-aird--e^ualled by few in this part of the state. Hf» held the vast assemblage spell-bound and was frequently applauded.11 Sunday School Convention. A township Sunday school Kjonvention will be held in the M.

Prince Albert Victor, the, eldest son of tho Prince and Princess of Wales, who is going to be married to his cousin, Princess Victoria of Prussia, was born in J a n u a r y 1804, and is therefore two years older than his bride. While not exactly brilliant, still he is exceedingly painstaking', methodical mid conscientious. His education has been very thorough. When a boy of fifteen he was cnterod, together with his brother Prince George, as a naval cadet on board tho H. M. S., Brittania and made the vovage around the world in the Baehantc, when he also visited Australia, l i e then spent two years at Cambridge. where he followed tho usual university course. Four years ago he entered the army, becoming a lieutenant in tho Tenth Hussars, a regiment in which he is now a major. He has been quartered most of the time at York and has attended most assiduously to his military duties, only coming to London when court festivals required his presence.

"Lord love ye, gal," ho said. "What's got Inter ye? My name aint Pete, and I don't know no Oklahoma, but if you want to get out of here I'll hitch up the old mare and take y*m over to the Four Corners," At tliia point I succeeded in getting Uncle Zephe out #f the conversation, my wife had been too agitated to fully appreciate the meaning of Ins words, so that in spite of his rural simplicity and guileless conversation on the way to the Four Corners, she still believes that she passed a day in Oklahoma and was rescued from death by Six Fingered Pete, the terror of the Cherokees. MARK T W A I N ASPHYXIATED. Aihd tho sooner the better. v / In this country thero is no problem of poverty, in the sense in which the torm is commonly employed. There is no poverty of the hopeless, helpless sort, that can be sol down lo the account of false and unfair social or industrial conditions. It is the poverty that actually su'l'ers, tho poverty of those who l a - k food for their stomachs aud raiment for. their backs. T h a t kind of poverty exists among us without doubt or question, but it exists, not because of anything amiss in tho conatitu'iou—of- -seeie-ty,—but by and I resolved to do something right away that would mike Oklahoma unpopular in, our family. At this momenfc 1 caught sight of Uncle Zephe's boy Jim peering round thu corner of a tree. Maud did not see him. I excused myself on tho ground that I was going out to buy a yoke of oxen and intercepted Jim, with whom I put up a job against Maud's peace of mind. We agreed that he should comj down in the afternoon as an Indian, with a horse blanket, war paiiit anil a carving knife, and if necessary scalp Claude and create any other disturbance calculated to harrow up my wife's feelings. When I went back to tho hut Maud was getting ready for dinner. She had discovered a couple of dozen of eggs in the corner, which Uncle Zephe had thoughtfully left for us.

In nearly all cases it is the d.roct result of drunkenness, incurable indolence and unthrift. In a small portion of eases it results from accident, from prolonged illness or other such cause beyond the control of the sufferers, and in those cases relief is rightly asked from society. But society's provision for relief is ample, and moro than ample, to meet every demand of that character, if we might in any wayguard that provision against the raids of the undeserving who suffer by reason of their vices cr their unwillingness to work for themselves. The only real problem of society in this country JB how to make those keep sober and work diligently who now get drunk and do no work at all. Says Fred Douglass in a letter to the Washington Post:. • "While I neither asked, sought, nor expected to be appointed minister to this important country, I have no sympathy with those who endeavor to belittle th6 appointment or question the motives of President Harrison in making it. I know of no place on tho globe where I could be more usefully employed than in the discharge of the duties which will naturally devolve upon mo should I reach Port-au-Prince.', OVll .NEW IIO.HK A T OKLAHOMA.

He strayed into the Press Gallery, threw back his gray overcoat, adjusted his gold spectacles on his nose and looked around. *"A good deal changed," he said, glancing at tho life size photographs of Whitelaw Beid and younger editors which now decorate the walls,, '.'and it seems a hundred years ngo."

He is particularly facetious over the pictures in rhe rotunda and the stone people in "Statuary Hall." Arriving opposite the marble statue of Fulton, seated, and intently examining the model of a steamboat in his hands, he indulged in a wide-sweeping gesture and exclamation: "This, ladies and gentlemen, is Pennsylvania's favorite son, Robert Fulton. Observe his easy and unconventional attitude. Notice his serene and contented expression, caught by the artist at the moment when he made up his mind to steal John Fitch's steamboat" The humorist dresses a good deal more carefully than formerly, this is made necessary by his increasing amplitude, by his vast shock of gray hair, by his boisterous and ungovernable mustache, and by his turbulent eyebrows that cover his gray eyes like a dissolute thatch. And when he talks he talks slowly and extracts each of his vowels with a corkscrew twist that would make even the. announcement of a funeral sound like a joke. The Ehvanth National Csnsu*. Under the wise provision which r e - quires that a COUBUS of the Unlie<fc States be taken every ten years, tho preliminary work for compilation ot the eleventh census has alreudy begun. KoberL P. Porter, late of the New York Press, whom President Harrison has appointed to superintend the gigantUtatfk, already has nearly one hundred* clerks employed in preparatory work, and next year, when the actual count is to be made, will have moro than six hundred helpers. Mr. Porter has formerly nnnouncod that ho will aim to give tho country a good business and business-like census —nothing moro. The census of 1880, filling twenty large quarto volu beside the compendium of two volum is too big; so, big, in fact, that thou work upon it has been steadily pro cutcd for ten years it is not yet finished —-two volums of the full complement being still lucking. And it is not only too large in itself, but it is far too large in. the range of work undertaken. Very many of its compilations are faulty and much loss compact and reliable than they should bo, because the vast mass of facts dealt with wero not and could not be properly digested. Commissioner Walker, in his laudible ambition to make a Centennial Census worthy of his country, attempted to "cut too wide a swath." And Mr. Walker, expert and able statistician as he is, knowing better than most men tho practical value of statistics, and the need of having them easily and quickly accessible, was one of the xery tlrst to admit the objections inseparable from a twenty-volume census. A considerable part of the information collected by tho census-takers of 1880, he says, should be gradually aud continuously acquired by a regularboard of statisticians in the constant employ of the government. Certain classes of information gathered t e a years ago, he admits, were neither as complete nor reliable as they would be if a different and nioro regular process of collection had been adopted. Ho does not ; dversely criticise (nor will any citizen with duo prida in the industrial achievements of his country), any of tho scores of valuable features which the last census embodied; they (trc valuable and needed. P u t the government census report is not the place for thorn. In this view ex-Supcrintondent Walker and the present Superintendent Porter arc in perfect accord. Mr. Porter has said that unless interfered with by tho secretary of tho interior and tho civil service rules, he will a p - point his subordinates from highest to lowest, as he would in a newspaper office — according to their titness for the special lines of work to which they shall bo assigned. Ho will aim at securing such information, in addition lo the mere euumerition of population, as will most directly and practically servo the business and industrial and soe.i il interests of tho people, and at that point will stop. Ho will aim at tho utmost conciseness-of statement, at absolute reliability concerning nil mutters treated, and will seek to complete the census and deliver it to the people at the very earliest date compatible with careful and finished work. If Mr. Porter's" "plan of campaign" is carried out, the country will have a better and comparatively much cheaper national census than any hitherto taken.—Milwaukeo Wisconsin. Only a S t e p .

J u l y 1 there were 737 convicts in the prison, t h e smallest n u m b e r for seven years. Bertan H a i r e shot a crow recently in concord that measured over two feet from bill to tail.

On the morning of J u l y fourth as Verne Champlin, aged JO years, was tiring a toy cannon, a spark Hew into a box that held his powder exploding it, burning his face and eyes in ;\! frightful manner. One eye is lost and ! the doctor thinks he can save the othc" one. The convicts celebrated t h e F o u r t h in a gala m a n n e r . They had r u n n i n g races, walking matches, and other athletic sports to amuse themselves. In each cell were deposited a - b a g of peanuts and two bananas. <T'iis ? eems a small a m o u n t iO give but, when it is taken into consideration that it takes nearly fifteen hundred bananas to CD around it would reduce quite a fnt pocketbook. LaUtner isclassed among what is known as t h e "zebras"1 on account of his stripped clothes. NOTICE!

A BRIEF SORROW, C H A P T E R . I . — ( C O 3 T I X U E D . » ) «:Tom, I have such a c h a r m i n g p a r t n e r for you for the next d a n c e . " .MJJS. Stephenson was saying by this tuna. "Come, and I will introduce VOM." Tom hesitated, and hung back a little sheepishly. " T h e r e must be plenty of Others, Mrs. Step^henson; and I—I—.lot me see w h a t is the next dance? -A v a l s e — a n d I don't >valse." "Oh, never mind that! I h a v e my o r d e r s , F a s s u r e you."—anid she smil- <jd encouragingly. "Come, you won't findher very alarming, and you know y o u are not a schoolboy now. Tom.'' So T o m went, not having time to wonder what Mrs. Stephenson could have, meant when she spoke of her " o r d e r s ' ; .and Faith accepted the h a a d of young Sidney Jtfertram, a little surprised and disappointed at losi n g Tool *o soon. She was too shy and insignificant to attract much attention at an evening party even when, AS now, it was only a small one; and «he preferred it so; but she had counte d on T o m as her faithful adherent for the. rest o f the evening, knowing .his schoolboy-like fear of strange .young ladies. Alter the valae was over Tom did not return,,and Faith could not catch * j g h t of him. The .next dance—a •quadrille—she sat out alone; for there was a scarcity of gentlemen, and then she *>aw him, in a set.at, the othor end of the rocan, with a young lady—a small figure in shimmering primrose satin, whose head scarcely reached h i s shoulder. Agnes,Berkeley, Tom's •sister, was dancing in. the sarao set—a tall fair girl of only fifteen, but looking older thaii Faith, and a t t r a c t i n g iar more attention on, account of her #o,od looks. Mary Trogelles was sitting, on a lounge with Sir Nostor Gold- •eney, the '.'lion'1 01 the ^occasion, a middle-aged baronet latoly returned from.India with any number of rupees and a disordered liver,1 and who seeme d . t o be trying to make himself a g r e e - able, to. his companion with about tho s a m e success as other men had met with. When Mrs. Stephenson had succeeded i n hiring Tom away from Faith's side, she had taken his arm and led h i m across the room to the young lady with wham she had . be on 'talking. ^ '••Nino, my d e a r , " ^ h e said: with her bland smile, callow me to present to you .theoelder son of our old friend and neig\h£or, Mr. Berkeley of lhe Manor, » e a r us, who wishes to dance with you. Tom, this is our visitor from London—Louise's school-friend, Miss D e r w e n t " Miss Derwent curtseyod, and Tom .a graceful bow. **I .am disengaged for the next | > H h « i o e / ' observed Miss Derwent grav/\.. «400*1/., i n . r e p l y to .her hostesf. " B u t , " said Tom lamely, '& can't • s w l l 1 teach you?" suggested Miss larly fascinating. She wa» small, slender* fairy-like, with quick movements and an aroh smile, Stro was one of those women who look well by artificial light, but who require very careful dressing; in the daytime to redeem them from insignificance. But to Tom, who had spent all his life in a country village, who had seen something of beauty ia his cousin and sister, and some «f the rustic maidens of t h e neighborhood, but nothing <ef a r t or oequetry, Nina Derwent a p p e a r e d a being from-mother world. The valse began almost immediately, a n d Tom's p a r t n e r found him an a p t pupil; for he had a general knowledge of dancing and a natural ease of movement that surmounted all diffic u l t i e s . "Your step will rait mine perfectfly!" she -declared, as the music stopped. "Then I hope yam will dance with me again?" he said at once eagerly. "Oh. I dare say I shall!" " T h e next," he urged growing bolder—'' do give me the next! I can dance that without troubling you to teach me, it's a quadrille." Miss Derwent hesitated, looking about her. Sir Nostor Goldoney was still engaged with Mary Tregallos, who did not valse. "because t h e parson wouldn't like it," Tom had irreverently declared, when his step-mother had remarked npon Mary's sitting the valses at the eounty-ball. Mr. Rowland was dutifully attending upon his fiance, Louisa; Sidney Bertram was asking Agnes Berkeley to dance; nobody was a p p r o a c h i n g tha corner in which she and Tom were silting; so ahe turned to him smilingly. "Very well—this one. But you must not be unreasonable you know; there are others. "* J "Oh, we won't think about the others until they come," he broke in. eagerly and gratefully; but his speech did not seem to please Miss Derwent, judging from tho expression that passed across her face. It was gone in a moment however and she was inquiring vivaciously if t h a t pretty girl in blue was his sister. "If you mean .that one," he replied, indicating Agnes---"yos. she is." "Ah, I knew it by tho likeness!" she declared; and then, catching Tom's glance, she burst out in a little ripple of la..gh.ter. ' H o w silly of me to say that! Now, I hopo you won't grow conceited!" "Not likely!'' he declared bluntly, though he was laughing too. " T h e r e ' s not much flattery wasted over me, I can toll you!" "Poi baps you don't deserve it?" she •suggested archly. " W h a t makes you thing that I don't?'' "I did not say that I thought so." "1 hopo you do not think so." After the quadrille was over, Miss Derwent proposed that Tom should take her to get some lemonade - the rooms were so hot. ••I'm so sorry I didn't think of it!" he protested peni enlly. "But, you know''—bluntly—"that I'm not at all used to this sort of thing." "Are you n o t ? ' she queried, raising her eye brows. "1 should have thought you were." Tom blushed like a school-girl at tho implied compliment. "I—~l don't usually care about parties and such things." he returned; Psurprising, since it was t h e first time in his life t h a t he had been called upon to perform such a task. Mr. Rowland came to his rescue with a tiny gold button-hook that he kept in h i i pocket against such emergencies, or Miss Derwent's glove would have fared badly; and while Tom stood by she scolded him for his awkwarkness, Bmiling up at him all the^ while and shaking her little head at him as he looked down at her, his ears tingling, half with shame at his roughness, half with a new overwhelming excitement. " I was so sorry to hear you give away that valse!"* Torn said, as he took Miss Derwent back to the dancing- room, her little hand upon his sleeve. "You could not expect to have them all, could you?'' she demanded. "Oh, no! B u t — - " "There now I must leave you! Here is my next partner. Never mind"—encountering his blank look archly—"we shall meet again!" "Oh, yes!" he said eagerly, happy again in a moment at her tone and manner; and then he went away, not to find a partner for himself, but to ait down at a distance, where he thought she would not observe him, and watch her dancing, talking, smiling, but not—so he fancied—as she had danced and talked and smiled with him. She was conspicuous among the re9t in her obviously town made dress, and had she not been so, his eyes would have found no difficulty in following her—he saw no ono else in the room. The dance after that was Mr. Rowland's, and the next Sir Nestor Goldeney'a. Tom, sitting by himself and refusing all offers to get him partners, thought t h a t thero would bo no other chance for him that night. He was therer ore almost wild with delight w h e n ' M i s s Derwent bestowed upon him the supper- dance, after waiting and hesitating until the last moment; and in due time he found himself walking off with her to the room in which the supper was laid. He had wanted to wait a little, and go when there were fewer people present; but Miss Derwent had insisted on going at the very moment when he wa-s urging his plea, hurrying him off in a sudden way t h a t puzzled him for a moment: but he was too happy to trouble himself about it. At the supper table Sir Nestor Goldoney was at Nina's left hand, the Baronet having taken in Miss TregeU. les; and Faith was at Tom's r i g h t hand, as ho discovered presently, much to his ama ement. "Why, Faith," he said—Miss Derwent being engaged just then in talking to Sir N'estor—"what have you been doing with yourself all this time? I've never set eyes on you once since I left you. "Uh. I have seen you!'' answered Faith cheerfully. " I have been dancing sometimes—not always; there are not gentlemen enough for us all to dance every time. Agnes has darned every dance, though. And how do you like it. Tom? Are you sorry you came?" ' S o r r y ! No—awfully glad! I've been "having such a jolly evenings- Faith! I didn't think this sort qi-thing was so nice. And, I sayvFaith, you must dance with m e a g a i n . mind " And there he >-ftfpped, hesitating in some embarrassment, unwilling to bincLirimself to Faith for a dance for Keep Their Minds Cheerful. A reasonably sure way to produce disease in children is to fill their minds with a knowledge of disease symptoms. Tell them where their heart is located and let them know the dangerous character of any trouble affecting t h a t organ, and ten chances to one, with an occasional muicular twitch in that locality, they will settle into the unpleasant conviction that their heart is not in its normal condition. One fortified with the information that every vertebrate has a liver and every nervous child with a slight coating on the tongue will cry for some p r e p a r a - tion that is at least tinctured with calomeL It is all right to teach a child certain general hygienic laws. It in necessary to convince them that if they lie or sit on the damp ground or expose themselves, when very warm, to draught, they will take cold. Certain anatomical laws ought to be taught children, but this continuous cackle about palpitation of the heart, or other cardiac difficulties, torpid livers, disintegrated kidneys and nervous debility, is productive of harm. It stimulates a morbid imagination and in youthful minds make mountains out of mole hills. If there is any a c t u T disease the only sensible course for a parent to take is to lead the young mind away from a contemplation of it. There is a deal of sympathy between the mind and body. When joyous and free from anxiety the mind never invites bodily ailments. Surrounded by sunshine and flowers and devoted friends, a child is not apt to worry over clouds and poisonous weeds and enemies.— Cincinuati Time3. but they pursuaded me to come bwlileh Miss Derwent might possibly be \ t, with a smile that lighted up her small pale face in an odd way that attracted Tom's attention. " I — I nm afraid I should bo very stupid." he stemmered; .but she.interrupted him. "Oh—no, J am sure you would not!" "There's a kjirid offer for you, Town," put in tho w i d e r , patronizingly.

The boy-'s brain seemed to whirl. It w-rt"s bis first intoxicating d r a u g h t of tho cup of life. „Oh their way they passed so close to Faith that the lace flounce bordering Miss Derwent's prim-rose satin dress swept over the girl's feet. Tom did not even see her; for he was gazing eagerly down at his companion with a flush on his checks and a light in his eyes that had never shone there before. Agnes Berkeley was in tho refreshment- room with Sidney Bertram, a n d Phyllis Stephenson with her prospective brother-in-law, together with some others. Tom called his sister r a t h e r eagerly and introduced her to his n e w . a c q u a i n t a n c e . Miss Derwent wan pleasant and smiling, and plunged int;> easy conversation with a readiness that Agnes hardly reciprocated. '&.he was a rather coldmannered ginl.\with not much to say for herself 'it present, though her fac,e was full of a Aaily developed intelligence.

The latter gentleman asked her fen* the next valse on tho program, and slxe promised it gaily; but Tom was indignant—he h a t so longed to valse wsth her again.

"I'll come presently and see what dances jrou have to spare," he said rather awkwardly. " 'Sir Roger de Coverley' to wind up!" whispered Miss Derwent, turning io Tom at this moment. "And will you dance it with me?" he questioned eagerly, forgetting all about Faith directly. "Perhaps, if vou stand just where I like best." •"Of course—I'll do anything in the world that you like!" he declared; and she smiled at him, and turned away again to Sir Nestor. Miss Derwent did not leave Tom for long at a time; she continually made arch obser* ations upon their neighbors aud their surroundings, which made him pronounce her a very clever girl indeed. After supper she danced again with Sir .Nestor; and then, the Vicar having appeared on the scene, ke was brought to be introduced to her—the only stranger in the room—a«.d she remained in conversation witk him throughout the next dance, in sp<'.te of Tom's impatience.

T h e female sex controls most of the speech crop, or r a t h e r t h e speech crop controls the female sex. The entire human family is much addicted to a superfluity of words. The early-closing movement will probably never be appliei to the mouths of the children of men. In fact, the human mouth is very much overworked. A man's mouth is made to talk and eat, yet he often hurts himself dreadfully by talking, and kills himself by eating. The "unruly member" has been the cause of the largest part of all the sorrows, the quarrels and t h e wars that have ever afflicted mankind. Everyone, it is said, has a misjion, but it seems to be the mission of very few people to mind their own business. Gossip is the business of the feebleminded, and it enfeebles any mind it captivates. Gossip, and particularly society gossip, is poor drivel. I t is only chin-deep. It is, perhaps, not so hard for gossipy people to mind their own business, but it is the monotony which they cannot stand. You can get more wind out of a ten-cent fan than you can from *; $600 one, and it is the same way with a ten-cent man. If the proverbs of all nations are to be rolied on, it is the female sex that doec most of the gossiping. The Persians, for instance, say that ten measures of talk were sent down upon earth, and the women took nine. Another s tying is to the effect that the woman who makelh a good pudding in silence is better than she who inaketh a last reply. Very few women can say with thft governess, who advertised for a position, that she is perfect mistress of hei own tongue. In Zanzibar the womec bore their ears /dreadfully. In this country it is \eotnewhat different, foi they bore other People's oars, principally.— Texas'SifUngs. v »\^ • r>id Treatment.

T h e publication of a groat newspaper which is sold for a few cents would not bo possible, except for its advertising, and in the long run large and profitable advertising goes only.to a reputable journal. Its character is the best indication of the character and quality of its readers, whether they are of the kind before whom it is worth while to lay tho wares of the merchant. If the advertiser find that the paper deserves Ms'""owa respect and commands his own interest, if he sees it in tho hands of the honest, intelligent and selfrespecting people, who make the best customers, he is the more disposed to, use it as a medium for publishing h i s business. It is a waste of money to advertise an important business in a weak, silly, and vicious paper, for the sort of readers to whom it appeals do not support such a trade, and, having no respect for the paper, they naturally distrust the advertisements in i t The advertiser puts himself in bad company a u l suffers accordingly. A newspaper conducted on the plan Mr. Miller denounces might get a considerable sale as a novelty, and for K. short time, but decent and sensible advertisers would shun it, lest they might share in its deserved disrepute. —New York Sun. A N e w Lightning-Jiod Swindle. Enrmer.s along the Hudson are being victimized by a new styio of lightningrod *jri:uile. Tho agent induces the farmer to let him put rods on his house, agreeing, on account of the prominence of the farmer or the beauty of the farm-house, to make him a present of nearly the entire outfit The contract is signed, rods put up without insulators, and the farmer invited to go on tiie roof to test the conducting qualities. A battery is applied from the ground, and the countryman is thoroughly satisfied with the shock he receive*. Then comes the request to settle. The rods are all right as to price, but points to attract the lightning cost $10 each, and the farmer, who has no' read the contract through before, learns that ho is bound to pay from $S ) to $1A) for a set of worthless lightning { rods. — Ph'ladelphia Ledger.

The .lames Turpie, a British steamship, ran into a large whale on her recent voyage to New York from Messina. The ves>cl at the timo was bowling along at a good rate, and the collision shook her from stem to stern. It is estimated tho whale was sixty feet long. Timber Thieves and Public Lands. Tho American Forestry congress, undismayed by past failures, is moving vigorously forward in the good worl< of preserving our forests r o t only from needless destruction but also from the ravages of tho timber thieves who have been allowed to plunder the public domain for years with impunity. through the criminal indifferenjce'ol congress and its failure to protect the forests by suitable^iegislation. It wil) be remembeiied "that tho last congress was be-steged by this association with appeals and protests and with memorials setting forth the nature and extent of tho depredations of the tin> ber thieves, but no action was taken. Now tho association has gone straight to headquarters and laid a memorial before President Harrison. It is a sig* nificant document and ought to command prompt attention. It shows that millions of acres have literally bean. given away to individuals and corporations who have enriched themselvesby cutting off tho timber and leaving the land worthless; that tho limber thieves have been open and defiant ia their operations, particularly 1ft the redwood regiou of California; and that since 1KS0 tho value of tho public timber stolen outright amounts to *p36,- 710,935, of which tho government hasonly recovered $478,073.—Chicago Tribune. • • • . Uses for Bibles. In many parts of China the bible9 given to tne natives by missionariesare used in the manufacture of cheap boot soles - w h i c h are not tho kind ol souls the bible is intended to benefit. But the heathen in his blindnessdoesn't know any better. Now, in America it is different In many parts of this country bibles a r j used for pressing ferns and autumn leaves, and are frequoutly placed on a child's chair to elevate the little one.—Norristown Herald, i ^ • _. You Can't Gat to Europe Now. New Yrork Sun: If you haven't bought your ticket you can't go to Europe this season before midsummer. Tho transportation facilities are greater than ever before, but the craze for European travel beats anything ever known. The same story is told at all the steamship offices. A few berths will be surrendered by persons whose plans miscarry, but practically all the lines are booked to their full capacity up to the middle of July. If the great fleet which will sail eastward from this port in J u n e oouM ke doubled in number and capacity eTery boat would carry its full complement of passengers, Tho rush lasts from the middle of May until about J u l y 10. Then it suddenly stops and sots in in tho opposite direction about two weeks later. All the accommodations ou the favorite boats are engaged for the return trips between tho middle of A u - gust and tho middle of October. m »m* i n i « ' 1 i 1 . '* <• A.

Following is a synopsis of the important provisions of the new fish law: The catching of trout, salmon and grayling is lawful only from May 1st to September 1st, and then only by hook and line. Bass may be caught at any time, but only by hook and line. You cannot lawfully spear them at any time. The use of explosive substances in catching any kind of fish is unlawful. Spearing of fish excepting mullet, grass pike, red sides and suckers is prohibited from March 1st to July 1st. The use of any species of net excepting dip nets in catching mullet, etc., is unlawful at all times. A violation of any of the provisions of this law is punishable by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $100 and costs, or imprisonment for 30 days if fine is not paid. The Grand Trunk is a great leveler among railroads. There is talk of a connection in this city between the Grand Trunk and tbe Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinac, and also that the Grand Trunk will be pushed on from this point to the west making a short line to Chicago. Mr. Oakes, president of the Northern Pacific, refers in a recent statement to the affiliation between the two lines. He said that connection with tbe Grand Trunk was tbe great inducement on the part of the Northern Pacific management "to buy the Wisconsin Central. By that road we got close connection with the Grand Trunk. We desired closer relations with that road and have now got them. You see by these connections we have a road straight across the continent from Portland, Me., Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Montreal on the St Lawrence to the Pacific coast This gives us a powerful system of roads." We have great faith that Jackson will be an important point in the Grand Trunk system, not only for an east and west, but also for a great north and south line*—-Jackson Patriot The preliminary work of the State Fair to be held at Lansing, September 9,10. 11, 12 and 13, is progressing rapidly. There are now eighty-five men employed, and 1,000,000 shingles and 500,000 feet of lumber will be required in tbe erection of additional buildings. Ten acres will be devoted to exhibition of machinery. There will be 3,600 feet in length of horse stalls, 3,100 of cattle stalls, 1,200 feet each for swine and sheep. The Machinery Hall will have an area of 8,500 square feet, and the Carriage Hall 6,500. Nine hundred feet of water mains are now laid in the grounds. The New Grand Stand, 200 feet long, is a model for that purpose. Officers are provided for the telegraph and telephone systems and for the officers; The Race Track, seventy-five feet in width, is ene of the best in any state. The grounds are dry in any weather, with abundance of shade trees, and cannot be excelled. C. G. Jewett of Howell, was awarded tbe contract for hearing the new court house at a' cost of 12,993. We glean the following from the Livingston Repa blican: " It is to be a steam heating apparatus, according to the plans and specifications furnished by the architect, A. E. French of Detroit. The boiler used will be a large 50-inch diameter by 14 feet in length, horizontil boiler, with 53 three-inch tubes. Everything in connection with the work is specified to be of the finest material and workmanship. Mr. Jewett being the lowest bidder was awarded the contract. While the number of bidders was not large it is a fact that the two from Detroit represent tbe twe oldest and most thoroughly established houses in the business in the state. Webster & Meath are among tbe lowest bidders for steam heating in Detroit, and it is a credit to our tojvnsman, Mr. Jewett, that he finds himself able to compete with these older houses."

Ingels started for Ithica last Thursday, where he will visit relatives and friends. While E. D. Collard was in the saw mill last Friday a log rolled over, catching his foot and bruising it quite badly.' He is slowly recovering. While Mrs. Voegts wa3 washing for Mrs. J. Ingels last Monday she ran a needle in her hand and broke it off, which made a very painful wound. Messrs. «. G. Topping and W. Worth challenged Messrs. C. Ingels and F. Collard to a championship game of croquet to be played on the Plainfield croquet grounds on Wednesday, July 17th, at 7 p. m. sharp, for a wager of the cigars for all of the players, to be paid for by the side that lost the game. The game was called at the appointed time and a vast concourses)f people assembled to behold the contest They played for about twenty-five minutes and at last Topping, Collard and Ingels were^oyerSi while Worth made several errors and-^was so unfortunate as not to get through^ the fourth or center arch. Topping hit tne^sjtake by a raisshot and had to remove his ball; Collard and Ingels also hit the stake, therefore the game was decided in favor of Collard and Ingels, when the crowd gave them great applause. The time was thirty minutes. m i r w- •a i * \ i r I, t f w JM 1' - \ / ' * ~"53*Wf& "*•* V+ I'm \ r PINCK5ET V>< i » T h e action of t h e ChiriosC'governm e n t in e s t a b l i s h i n g ^ " a t C a n t o n t h e l a r g e s t m i n t j j r t f i o world for t h e coina g e o'f^stTvcr lias c r e a t e d g r e a t a l a r m ^ i n ' M e x i c o .

MANY LIVES LUST, A Valley in W e s t V i r g i n i a S w « p t F l o o d . by Great Datnajj* Dona to Property. The greatest disaster that ever befell Little Kanawha valley in West Virginia came the ot .ei* night in tho shape of a terrible doud burst, which has completely flooded the country, destroying many lives, carrying otf thousands of dollars lu property aud ruining the crops lor many miles. The deluge fe.l la the vicinity <if P a r k e r s burg about dusk and continued to fall in torrents doing much dainag-.* ia the city. The worst 01 the atorin struck the lower side of the Kanawha, hlliou' small tributaries fiom bank to bunk and ending in the •worst tiood within recollection QL the oldest Jnhuoit. u u . hi three hours the Kanawna raised six feet aud ran out witn such veloc ity that it earned every ihuiK before it. A t this poiut thousands of logs and a uumber of boats went out or were sunk. Three persons from Parkersburg were drowned. ,Abo\e l'arkersburg the destruction is much greater. Villages in the Big Tygart valley have be?n swept away, and crops and live s.ock destroyed. Eleven lives were lost. — - . •+. ~ . — . DAKOTA'S WHEATCROP. Tho Yield Will be About 30,000.000 Bushels Short. Tho wheat cro> of Dakota is ?.0,00,\000 bushels short. The total production lor the territory cannot, under the best posi sible conditions from uow until harvest, exceed i,0,o\<0,w>o bushels, aud to put it th .t high is a liber.il estimate. The greatest detriment to a success.ul crop t h b y e a r has been the exceedingly dry season, and only along the streams will there be any crops at all. Hundreds ot acres were sowu lor the second time. It is likely that outside of the valiey of the Red river all the gr. in growu will not till 500 cars. In Nefson ount.v, famously prolific, wheat will not.vieid as much grain as was seeded. Kamsey is bare, except in the immediate vicinity of Devil s lake, and in the famous Turtle Mountain region, the rich soil of which has hitherto b< en regarded as drought-proof, tho e a r t a , succumbed, and there will be but little wheat for export in that section. biucethe main line of the National Pacific the eievators are closing irp and the cdiutry tributary to Bismarck is as barren as a sandhill. The Jim river valley will barely feed its people. The cry of famine that was raised last winter in the western part of Walsh county will find its echo all over the territory the coming winter. Aside from this impoverishment of the people by the failure of the whe.it, there is another dutiger, which will be felt almost as severely, and Unit is the w..nt of fodder for the stJck. The oat crop is bad, and the meadows away from the river bottoms are as parched us the jira rie. Not filonewill this whole territory be the sufferer, but a trip through Montana reveals the same sta'eof attairs. The range cattle will not find enough to live on until cold weatnef aud a prominent ruhroad official says that all the extr.i cars of the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads haye-iieon ordered to Montana to pull ou.t-"tfie steers as soon as the lack of food-necessitated a reduction in numbersjo/ the range stock.

The cause of the tracedy is not known, although it is s t a t e l that Rosenberg has complained about the way be has been used in money matters by the woman. Koscnberg met his death in a peculiar and unintent onal manner while trying to escape. In scaling a fence at the end of the lane, through which lie ran after lump ing through the window, the doctor thinks that he fell on a pile of railroad sleepers, lying beside the Fitch burg tracks, and struck his head on a spike, which fractured his skull and instantly killed him. Dr. Durell says there is no doubt that Rosenberg was crazy. For Farmers' Benefit. Among the recent publications issued by the department of agriculture is a sixteenpate pamphlet, farmers' bulle in No. 1, emanating trom the oftlce of experiment Btations of this department, Prof. Oatwater director, which tells what the experiment stitions are, what they do and bow they do it. From this bulletin it is learned that the magnitude of this scientific work undertaken for the benefit of the farmers of the United- States far outstrips uny other nation in the world, aud that, although this line of scientific work was be gun in this country only fourteen years a.eo, many of the stations have already saved to the farmers more than the entire cost of their maintenance by the result of their investigations in a single line of work. A very large edition of this bulletin has be^n issued in anticipation of a widespread demand for the valuable infotmation thus compressed into a few pages. _..... An Electrical Disturbance. A heavy wind and rain storm which visited EvnnsviUe, Ind., July 14, did much damage. Numerous electric light wires were blown down, charging the pools of wa'er and buildings with the current. Fire a foot high was emitted in many places, causing an alarm to be sounded. The fire department responded, and being unaware of the condition of things, rushed into what was almost certain de .th. Horses and firemen alike were knocked down by the electricity. Citizens rushed iu and met a similar fate and for a time excitement ran high. When the current was shut off,over a do/en persons were found unconscious, but their lives were saved. Several of tho firemen, however, at last accounts were said to l|} in a precarious condition. Defies Bismarck. The Swiss government's reply to Chan cellor Bism .rck's demand that socialists and other objectionablo characters shall not bo harbored in the Httlo republic, 'is couched in dignified but defiant language, «nd insists t h . t refugees shall be treated as they deserve, and that the Swiss government was justified in expelling tho German police officer from the country. The reply has caused surprise, if not consternation, among the Germans, and Emperor William has cautioned Bismarck not to aggravate the difficulty by any ill-timed movement. Brickyard! Boutfbt.

This i upital combinatioa will be of an entirely different character to that recently organised to operate the American breweries. The plan of the brickyard trust is to extinguish the smaller yards and concen rate the business in one or two large yards. New and improved machinery U contemplated which will produce brick at a reduced price. The syndicate will take charge of the Detroit brickyards within 30 days according to the agreements made. Agriculture in Auatralia. In December of last year the department of agriculture received from its chief secretary s oftlce at Briabaue, (Queensland, Australia, a comtnun cation requesting the department to nominate to that government a suitable person to be appointed as instructor in agriculture.

" S i n c e I have n o p a t e u t on m y m e t h o d s of c o u d n u t i u ^ business a n d n o secrets t o w i t h h o l d from t h e public, I a m perfectly willing t o gratify y o u t o t h e extent of m y ability. T o c o m m e n c e with: After the g r e a t Chicago fire of '71, I became c o n v i n c e d t h a t t h e r e wan a large a n d i n c r e a s i n g d e - m a n d , a tidal wave, as i t were, for a first class five cent cigar. H o w to prod u c e such a cigar and t o m a r k e t it profitably was t h e problem t o solve. " I was a y o u n g man a t t h e t i m e a n d full of ambition. After carefully s t u d y - i n g t h e condition of t h e t r a d e , I settled u p o n a plan t o accomplish m y object. B u t before I give it to y o u , let m e explain t h e situation us it existed a t t h a t time. T h e average retail dealer i u t h o s e days never t h o u g h t it possible t o s e l l a five-cent ci'zur a t less t h a n 10J per cent profit, while t h e average wholesale dealer o r m a n u f a c t u r e r m a d e a .profit varying from $11) t o $15 p e r 1,0!)) o n t h a t class of goods. S u c h five-cent cigars, of course, were m a d e of very inferior domestic stock.' " N o w I conceived, the idea t h a t b y red u c i n g both profits a n d slightly increasi n g t h e price, and at the same time maki n g a ciirar t h a t should contain t h e choicest Havana til lor, a n d t h e n planing it iu t h e h a n d s of oroniiiioiit retail deale r s all o v i r t h e United States, with an exclusive control or a g e n c y for t h e same for their towns or n e i g h b o r h o o d s , they, t h r o u g h t h e superior quality of t h e cigar, which a t oneo c o m m a n d e d a .largely ineroMRnd trade, could afford h> sell it a t a reduced percentage of profit. I u o t h e r words, I first raised t h e price of t h e goods to t h e retailer, a n d a t t h e s a m e time I reduced m y own profits m o r e than one-half. T h i s difference ena b l e d me to furnish a n Havana filled c i g a r t h a t could b e retailed for five cents. " T h e n T personally t r a w l e d over t h o U n i t e d States nnd establish.<d 'my agencies, relying chiefly on mail orders, t h e r e b y dispensing with d o u b l e " d r u m - m i n g " a n d t h e j o b b e r ' s profit, t h u s effecting a grout saving. I c h a r g e d n o t h - i n g for my services a n d sold my goods at less than one-half t h e profit, m a d e b y m y competitors, i n talcing this step [ t r u s t e d solely to t h e intelligence of t h e s m o k e r and dealer for.my recompense. H a d I n o t done so t h e n a m e of 'Tansill .Punch1 cigar, like t h e n a m e s of my t h o u s a n d imitators, would have been obsolete long a g o . " " H a s y o u r faith in tho intelligence of t h e s m o k e r a n d dealer been s u s t a i n e d ? " "Yes, far b e y o n d m y most sanguine expectations. And us t h e business h a s grown from year to yeai\*l have appropriated a percentage.of my profits for advertising. I might add in this connection that I have ju.-it placed con tracts for advertising 'Tansrll's P u n c h ' i n nearly 7V00U daily a n d weekly newspapers, with a combined a n n u a l circulation of over 5()0,000,000 copies.

" " H a s y o u r plan of d o i n g business m e t with tho^upproval of the1 m e r c h a n t ? " " M y success t'lnphatically answers y o u r question in t h e affirmative. Could y o u b u t read our correspondence , y o u would then realize h o w o u r agency a n d g o o d s a r e appreciated b y both dealer a n d smoker. As t o t h e value of o u r a g e n c y , I will give y o u an illustration. N i n e years a g o W. M. Dale, a Chicago^ d r u g g i s t , was .trying t o establish a t r a d e on a five-cent cigar. To accomplish this he was p a y i n g &>3 per 1,000 for his leading live-cent b r a n d a n d r e - t a i l i n g b u t 200 of t h e m p e r week.

I could cite yon similar illustrations in a l m o s t every part of tho U n i t e d S t a t e s . " " T h e n I u n d e r s t a n d , Mr. Taunill, t h a t y o u r plan is to sell a first-class cigar at a small profit and rely upon t h e largo v o l u m e of vonr trade for t h e r e s u l t s ?

How She attracted Notice. Tbla little i n c i d e n t - i t i s a t r e e atory— occurred a lew days ago in Philadelphia. Trie owner of a large retail store gave a holiday to all of hia employee in t h e middle of J u n e . Caabiera, foremen, a leamen •< nd women, cash boys and porters, all were invited to spend tbe day on t b e grounds of the country seat owned by t b e employer. Tents wore erected, a bountiful dinner aud supper were provided, a bond was stationed in tbe grove, and special t r a i n s w e r e chartered to uurry tbe guests to the country and borne .'gain. JNothiog else was talked of for weeks before t h e happy day. T h e saleswomen, most of whom were young, unxiously planned their dresses a n d bought cheap uud pretty musiins, which they made up in tbe evening, ttiat they might look fresh | and gay. Kven tbe cash boys bought new cravats and hats for the ureal occasion. <. There was one girl, whom we shall call June, who could not indulge herself in auy pretty bit of imery. b h o w a s tbe ou:y child ol u widowed mo'her who w a s paralysed. Jane wus quick aud industrious, but she hud heeu bui a lew mouths in tue store aud her wayes barely kept her uud her mother from want. " W h a t shail .you we. r . " said the girl who stood next her ueuiud the couuter. " 1 bought such a lovely b.ue lawn." " i have nothing but this," said J a n e , glancing dowu at her rubty black nit!r- 1UO. ••iiut, that is a winter dress! You'll mell, ehiid. Theie'll be dancing and boating uud croquet. ^ uu myst have a summer gowu or else dun t go. ' Girls of 1) like pretty gowns. J a n e said uothing tor a lew miuutes. 4>i shall wuar this.' she said firmly, "Aud I thin.; i will go. Mother wishes it. ' " B u t you can't dance or play croquet in t h a t : " " H i s alwi ys fun to see other people have fun," said Jaue, bravely. The day came, bright and hot, and J.ine went in her heuv.v well d..rned dross. She gave up all idea of ••fun" 1ur herself and set to work to help the Others bud it. Ou the cars she bus e J herself in finding seats lor the l.tde girls and i.elping the servants with the baskets of provision*. On the grounds she st ried games lor the ch'idren, ran to lay the table, brought water to the old ladies, was ready to pin up torn gowus, 'or to applaud a "«ood b a i l : ' she laughed and was happy and f'-ieuoly all t i e time. {- he did not dance nor play, but she w..s surrounded by a cheerlui, merry group wherever she went. On t h e the way home to town tbe employer, who vv;is a shrewd business mau, becKoncd to his superintendent. "There is one girJ hero whose friendly, polite manner is very remariiab'e. S h e will be valuable to me as a saleswoman, tiive her a good position. That young woman in black,' aud he pointed her out. ' The next day Jane was promoted into one of the most important departments smd s,nee that time h e r success has been s ead.v 'J'he good nature and kindness of heart which enaoled her to "lin.i iun in seeing others have fun," wore the best capital for her in her business. She had the courage, loo, to disregard poverty aim to make ties best of life, a courage which rarely tails to meet its reward. All Electric Clock.

F o r this report r e t u r n s hav» been received from &53 correspondents, representino; G(H township.*. F i v e h u n d r e d a n d sixtv-eik'ht of these r e p o r t s are from 4401 townships i n t h e southern four tiers of counties, and 141 reports a r e from 12(J townships in the central counties. In addition t o the foregoing the "farm statistics," collected a n d forwardj?:. ri? j eel by supervisors, have been received :'uj from 04 per cent of the townships i n the {"state. The footings of these are n o t yet, complete, but have progressed f a r enough to furnish approximate statements respecting the wheat acrea g e of the present year, and the acres a n d yield in 1888. The n u m b e r of acres of wheat in the State in May of this year, as shown by r e t u r n s compiled, was 1,455,556. Multiplying the acres i n each 2ounty by the average yield as estimated by crop correspondents, and footing the products, gives 22,000,952 busnels as the probable total yield in the State This is an average per acre of 15 and 8- hundredths bushels in the southern counties, 15 and 68-hundredths In the central counties, and 15 and 52-hundredths in the northern counties. The n u m b e r of acres of wheat harvested in '1888 was approximately 1,506/)37: yield, 23,472,177 bushels, an average of 15 and 38-hundredths bushels per acre. The area harvested in the southern counties, as tabulated for this report, was 8.270 acres less than reported on the g r o u n d in May, 1888. In the central and n o r t h e r n counties the a r . a harvested was greater than reported in wheat one year npo. The increase is doubtless spring wheat sowed after the as.ses-nient was taken. Nearly one-tenth of the wheat acreacre of this y^ar is reported "winter- £ +5^ A NOTICE!

Department Commander Michael Brown has issued the following order to the G. A. R.: HBAD0.CARTEK3 D l t P ' T . OT MICHIGAN', G U A N U A U M Y OJ» TH Biu UAPIU: CIKCULAR XO. 2 . After long continued and bonaflde efforts on the part of a large number of the department commanders of the Grand Army of the Kepublic, supplemented by earnest appeals to the railroad officials from our commander-in-chief and executive council of Milwaukee, we have failed to secure for the old soldiers the customary rate of one cent per mile traveled to and from the national encampment, to be be held at Milwaukee, Wis., during the last week in August. Jn view of the fact that a rate of one cent a nule and less has receutly been given to other organizations, societies and excursions, there is a general feeling that the men whose services and s icrifices alona maue it possible for the railroads to exist und share in the prosperity which has attended the nution in recent years are entitled to the rate asked for and which has recently been accorded to others. .. Firmly beliewug that the refusal to give said rate of one cent a mile traveled is an unjust discrimination agaiust the veterans of the late war, I therefore in concurrent action with the department commanders of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, who have and will issue circulars similar to this in their respective departments, advise all comrades of this department, as a matter of self-respect and self-defence and out of love for our order, that they forego the anticipated pleasure of meeting their comrades at the national encampment by remaining at home, only those attending who are duly elected delegates or ex officio members of the encampment. Comrades,-let us be dignified but resolute a n d determined in this matter, and manfully resent this great injustice sought to be meted out to the men who gave the best .years of their lives und their best energies to make our country united, strong and prosperous, and our tiag as well as our laws and our theory of government by the people respected and admired throughout the civilized world. 1 issue this circular with much regret. It will be a great disappointment to thou sunds of comrades in this und other departments to have the anticipated grand reunion resolve itself into a mere formal business sessiou. It will also bo a great disappointment to the comrades and patriotic cnizeus of Milwaukee who are doing everything in their power to give their visitors a generous welcome. They are entitled to the thanks and best wishes of all the comrades of the Grand Army of the Kepublic for their efforts, und it is to be regretted that we cannot with any'degree of self-respect reward them or their arduous labor by our presence u i i h e encampment. Personally I shall be greatly disappointed. 1 had hoped to see the department of Michigan very largely represented in the grand parade and review, but with a principle involved, and with the future good of our nobie order in view, 1 believe 1 am doing right and that the comrades throughout ihis department will indorse my action. I wish to way that 1 am informed thnt some of tt.e groat rail road systems of this country were in favor of the o u e c e n t a - mile i'ute, but a in a ority being opposed, they deemed it to be thcir'duty to agree to the r te announced, to wit: one fare for the round trip.

Of courso not!' interrupted Tom, feeling highly indignant with Phyllis. "She is Agnes's frietul—what have 1 to do with Agnes's friendships?" rather roughly. "Talking of your sister?" said Miss Derwent gently, "she called here yesterday with her cousin. What a lovely girl she is!" "They never told me!" "Did they not?" raising her eyes to his in mild surprise. "Well perhaps they had no opportunity"— recollecting that he had been out all the Saturday afternoon and until late in the evening, when, on his return home, his father had made nr. unwelcome claim upon hi* time and attention. "She is so tall and graceful!" continued Miss Derwent. "I do admire tall people—don't you?" "No," said Tom with a glance at^the small figure beside him; and ^fina smiled upon him—that smile which she was well awaro was the most dangerous weapon in her armory, and used accordingly. •'Well, of course." she said, "one does not expect brothers to admire their sisters. They leave that for other people's brothers to do' — archly. "Oh, Agnes is too young yet for anything of that sort!" observed Tom. "Agnes and Faith used to have the same governess." remarked Betty. "Yes/1 said Tom; "and the Vicar teaches Faith a good deal still, and she manages to find time for Lalin and Greek and Hebrew, besides keeping house.

"W.n mean that you have had a very pleasant life so far?" she questioned lightly. "Yes; it has been very jolly on the whole.

BE you coming to church this morning, T o m ? ' "Oh.no—not this morning, Mary!" •'You mijjht come sometimes, Tom!" put in Agnes, standing at the great hall door, tall and graceful in her well worn black jacket and her large black hat, which had done Sunday duty through the summer. "Mr. Freke does not say anything but he must notice that you are not at church." "Why, bless you, child, the Vicar's as blind as a bat! It's all that ho can do to read his boo'c when it is at the end of his nose! He wouldn't know his wife if ho had one"—with a sly glance at Mary—• outsido of a quarter 'of a yard, let alone me half way down the aisle. Besides, I ve an engagement." ••Well, then, if you won't come, we must make haste." '•Where are father and mother?" ••Gone on with Dan." "Well, I don't care if I walk as far as the gate wi h you," said Tom on bearing this news. He and his father tacitly avoided one another now. As a child, the son who .so strongly resembed Mr. Berkeley's dead wile had been his pride and favorite; but, when he grew older and disappointed his guardians and teachers in every way, disgracing the old name with hi-* wild and riotous doings, brazening out reproof and turning a deaf ear to warning, his father was ready to give up all hope of him, and •concerned himself ehiotly with doing all ho could to preserve Dan—the only child of his second marriage, a boy now nine years old—from tho contamination of his half-brother's influon e. Tom walked down tho avenue with his sister and cousin, whistling softly as if 4n thought. When they reached the gates he paused, and let them g© on alone. He did not turn back to the house, but stood still whistling "Apple Dumplings," but so slowly a r d quiotly that Miss Tregelles had mistaken it for hymn tune. " I wonder what Tom is meditating?" observed Agnes, when they were out of hearing. "No harm, I daro say,'1 returned Mary cheerfully, thinking of the hymn-tune. " O h , but didn't you know that thero had boen another complaint from the game-keeper at Littleton Pt.rk? He didn't wish to expose him; so he came himself and spoke to father aboirt it last night, and father went to Tom's room afterwards. It was after we "had :gono up stairs—mother told me this morning." " I am sorry!" Mary said gravely. "Then there was that fuss on Wednesday night, when he came home tipsy again," Agnes went on. "We should all bo BO happy together If it were not for him! We are very fond of him—nobody can help being so, I think—but if he would only be different!" "Perhaps he will some day," rejoined Mary, who had groat hopes of her scrapegraco etousin, and was his beot friend after Faith Freke. Tom, left to himself, continued to stand at tho gates un'.il tho church bells had stopped ringing. If he was on the wateh for one party of chutvh- .< goers who must past by, he waited La rain, aud, as eleven struck, he turned Jus he^l and walked to the teott Manor was an nnoient pile. Tho Berkoleys were an Unty family renowned In former times for their bravery and patriotism. Wescott Manor had been a gift from Henry V., to the Berkeley of the period for faithful service in his French wars, and many a "deed of darring-do" had made the family famous. More than one Berkeley had refused a peerage, considering tho )Uhia name a greater distinction than that could bo conferred. Of r«, however, the glory of tho had departed; poverty had m its eons — a gradual Ey of fortune which became more apparent with the advent of each successor to the Manor lands. Tho prese n t Thomas Berkeley was most inconvenienced by the want of money, and would have little to leave behind him; he was therefore the mote anxious to •ee his sons well settled. The house was gradually falling into"decay; If Tom turned over anew leaf and settled down to something, bo might make money enough to do up t a t old place when he should come into it; If not, then the Manor must go to ruin. Tom entered the house by the front door, which opened into a great square hall, hung with ancient firearms and trophies of the chase in the shape of stags' heads, and foxes' brushes. He cams out of the house again in a few minutes pushing the protrudingend of a net into his pocket. He turned at once toward the high road, which ran between the Manor grounds and the woods, so intent upon his present object that be had crossed the road and put his foot upon the stile before he caught sight of five ladies coming along tho dusty road; they were flounced and f urbelowed and half concealed by parasols of various hues nnd patterns; but he recognized the party. He drew back his foot and walked slowly toward them, a sudden Hush suffusing his face. "Why, where are you off to?" was his somewhat unceremonious greeting; but no clumsy words of his could hide the pleasure he felt. Miss Derwent—who Bince Friday night had now and then recalled the handsome boyish face that had taken her fancy, full of vivid and changing expression, glowing too with a sudden new-born admiration—seemed pleased also, and a look of boredom, which had produced one or two faint lines on ner forehead and puckered tho corners of her mouth, making" her appear rather old and haggard in the morning light, faded away. "Why—to church, of course!" responded Mrs. Stephenson cheerfully. "We are late. I could not get those tiresome girls to move quickly!" " I t s a quarter past eleven," said Tom in surprise; for they were punctual people at the manor, and he had had no experience of any other household. "Yes; are you coming with us?" Thero is plenty of room in our pew.11 ••Oh, no, thanks!" he returned quickly, thinking of his father and Mary and Faith Freke watching him come imo church in the middle of the service in company with a family whom he had never ceased to ridicule ever since he couldp«$>eak. He could not endure that, thougTT'fei^a moment the temptation had been strong to go a nd Bit beside Nina Derwent. "Well, tlfen, if you really won't, will you come to us after church, and stay to our early dinner? ' proposed the widow sweetly, showing a sudden predilection for Tom's society, which certainly would have surprised him had he had a thought to spare for any one or anything besides that bewitching face that trailed at him from under the lawn and pink Paris chapeau. •'Wo dine early on Sundays, you know." Tho Stophensons dined early every day when they had no visitors, and, if any one of importance dropped in unexpectedly at the hour of the mid-day meal, they culled it "luncheon," and hastily improvised a late dinner if the visitor stayed long enough; if not, Of course ho or she could not possibly loll that only a vulgar substantial middleclass tea followed at six. "I—well—I think I will," stammered the boy, hesitating and growing very rod inithe face. "Very well, then—wo shall expect you. We dine at half past one; but. come as soon after service as you like. Come, .girls, we must be going. An revoir, foui."—nodding and smiling. "I am so glad you arc coming," said Nina Deweut, slopping behind the others. She spoke with charming frankness, and glanced up into his face so bewitchingly that tho flush on his cheek* deepened. "And so am I," he answered with difficulty. "We can talk over Friday night together, can't we?—and plenty of other things too, I daro say," "Oh, yes." with more ease. "Good-bye. for ailittle while, then," —and she went on with the othrrs; and Tom returned home, quite oblivious of his engagement; so that, if any of his undesirable companions wero awaiting him in tho \woods that day, they waited in vain. He seemed to know to a minute when the service was over, for the ladies at Wistaria Villa—Mrs. Stephenson's pretty cottage on tho highroad— had not had time to take off their out-of-door garments before ho made his appearance, looking much •smarter than when they had seen him last. His shyness so^on wore off. Nina Derwent showing herself so pleasant and friendly that ho was perfectly at ease before the others had finished discus-ing the new bonnets that had been seen in church that morning. After dinner Tom and Miss Derwent and Phyllis and Betty went out into tho garden behind the house ahd- sat in the arbor. Mrs. Stephenson stayed indoors for a nap, and Louisa kept hor company, ostensibly to read, really to follow her mother's example. The party in tho arbor fell to talking about the inmates of the Vicarage. Tho Vicar was not in great favor with the Stephenson's — perhaps because ho had never looked twicjg at any of them, though the widow had not given up hope until Mary Tregelles had ap- f Brig. Gen.

The editor of the Navasota (Texas) Tablet gives such a full and accurate description of one that should you meet him you could hardly fail to recognize him. The editor says the shiftless farmer has a lifelong ambition to gain a reputation for wearing a ilirty shirt He will alarm the neighborhood by getting up two hours before day and then sit around and not go to work until after sunup. He will ride around a week looking for a two-dollar hog. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climbing over a fence where a gait ought to be. Ho will pay three dollars for a bridal, and then let the calf chew it to pieces before Sunday. He gets all his neighbors to help in getting a cow out of the bog, then let her die for want of attention. She will get in and destroy his crops at a place in his fence that he has been putting off fixing for six months. He will sprain his back lifting sometime to show how strong he is. He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold day to show how much he can stand, and then return home at night and occupy two-thirds of the fireplace till bed-time. He will ridicule the mechanism of a corn planter, and then go out and smash his thumb nailing a board on the fence. #. He will go to town on Saturday and come home with fifty cents worth of coffee, a paper of pins and a dollar's worth of chewing tobacco. He is economical; economy is his j forte; he will save tan cents' worth of axle grease and ruin the spindle of a seventy dollar wagon. He won'tsubscribe for a newspaper, but will borrow from his friend and forget to return it. Training Hewers. The term "breaking" as applied to the domestic animals icas an unpleasant signification. II indicates bad management forcibly remedied. A calf or a colt should be trained from its birth, and it should be gradually led in the way it should go—the word '•educated" has precisely this meaning —by a constant progressive course of kind and considerate treatment. A heifer calf should be weaned at its birth. If its natural instinctive proclivities are to be repressed and obliterated, this is tho time to begin, before the germs of these have had opportunity to grow into a habit. Hence the calf should not bo permitted to suck tho dam and should bo taught to drink from a pail. Have a leather collar strong enough to hold it, with a rinjr sewn in it, and a rope with a snap hook attached to tie it with in the pen. Then it should be handled (brushed is better) quite frequently, until it is used to it and makes no resistance but rather likes it. As it grows older its udder and 1&i.ts should be rubbed and pulled as if in milking. • This not only makes it docile, but it helps the development of the udder and increases its future capacity. A heifer may be brought to milk in this way before it has a calf, and instances of this lacteal precocity are not infrequent in dairies wher3 calves are permitted to suck each other, although this is a great mistake and is provocative of vicious habits, such as selfsucking and sucking other cows. When tho heifer has a calf it is already tr.iined, and breaking, with the discipline of a club, a boot, or a milking stool, will not bo required. Cabbage After Early Potato**. To get a good crop of cabbage after early potatoes, it is only necessary to have good strong he ilthy plants to commence with. To obtain such, sow the seed in drills, not less than one foot apart, and thinly in the row, the last week in May or the first week in June. One ounce of seed will produce 2,000 plants, and if cultivated on good soil will produce the best plants in thirty days or by July first Aftei digging, tho potato patch should be freshly plowed, and tho soil thoroughly pulverized. My plan is then to open furrows four feet apart and j of butter, two cupfuls of water. Farm Kotos. By experiments it baa been found that clover fed with corn makes a gain of thirty to forty per cent greater than a corn ration alone. Farmers in the United States who wish to breed and bring out good saddle horses, should ride daily, or have sons who can constantly ride. Pigs that have the run of clover fields, with slops made from bran and shipstuff, will not reach the weight of those that havo a small additional ration of corn. Grass-fed cattle are much cleaner than those fed in sheds, but care should be taken that these "grassers" come to market with their coats in respectable condition. The head does not need a dense shield to protect it from the sun. It does need a shade, but it also needs a circulation of air, which a loosely woven hat. broad enough in the brim to cover the back of the head and neck, best gives. In making poultices to use in warm weather use water instead of milk, as there is lets danger of it becoming sour. Crumb the inside of a piece of bread, cover it with cold water, and let it stand fifteen minutes. Then boil till smooth, and just thick enough to run; spread it on old linen of four or five thicknesses. \.^ We should hardly call it a system of rotation of crops where the same one was raised upon the same land for more than two successive years. WTould prefer a different crop each year. Hay might bo a possible exception to this rule; with a good dressing of fine manure each year, land might remain, to grass more than two years. When a few fowis are kept on the kitchen scraps, they often, if rightly managed, yield larger returns than a 1-rge flock but half attended to. There U no disputing the fact that all poultry require careful management to make them pay, and when this is done, nothing on the farm will pay better. It can be tested and proven by anyone who thinks differently. • Persons exposed to summer heats and obliged to exercise in the sun should by all proper means endeavor to promote perspiration. Excessive drinking of ice water will not do this, though it will probably lower the vital temperature below the proper point; nor will distilled or fermented liquors bring about this healthy reaction against the heat, but water moderately cool and ut-ed freely will do it.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The council of Webberville has ordered the merchants of that place to clean the streets in front of their stores every Friday.

We would like to see more of our business men patronize the home printing office when in need of any kind of stationery instead of using tablets that are purchased of outside houses. Of course we may not furnish you stationery quite so cheap, but we will guarantee the work and quality just as good. You do not feel very grateful toward the person who, goes away from home to purchase goods when they can be bought at home, therefore it is no more than right that you should patronize the home printing office. Last Saturday Dr. McLean, assisteft by Dr. Henry and local talent, removed a larfletjrarian tumor of Mrs. C. Curtis. The tumor, which had been forming since last fall, had reached the stage of development where an operation was the only chance. Although diminished in size by tapping five different times, the operation disclosed the fc..j: that a larger delay might have beci fatal from bursting of the tumor, On account of the age and condition of tho patient the case was considered a critical one with chances, however, of recovery. The patient endured tho strain of a long and tedious operation, and the chances are now Yery favorable for recovery.—Livingston Republican. Sunday School Convention. As per announcement the township Sunday school convention was Jield in the M. E. church in this place on Friday for the purpose of organizing uii association in this township.

On Saturday, August 10th, will occur the laying of the corner stone of the new court house at Howell with appropriate exercises. Arrangements are being made for a nice time and a large crowd is expected to be present. Supervisor Lyman will act as vicepresident from this township. An Iralay City farmer attributes the unusually large crop of mosquitoes this summer to the absence of swallows. He says that ths wet, cold weather of the early spring starved these birds, so that where there were thousands last year there are none this. With the swallows the festive mosquito is a favorite lunch. Brick bats were flying through the air at a rapid rate in Howell on Tuesday morning of last week just because a number of Lansing men who are working on the new court house, wanted to '"run the town," but the local talent would'nt have that way, and the result was a number of sore heads and brused bodies. Barnard & Campbell have taken pes tary, A.'D. Bennett; Treasurer, J. IT. Forbes. The afternoon session beg,'.:1, at 1:30 o'clock and was Iargelv attended by our townspeople as well as many from cur sister towns.

PIKCKNET MICHIGAN Emma Eames, the American Sinsrer The great event of tho musical season in Paris has been the debut at the Grand Opera of our countrywoman Mies Emma Eames. This young lady was born at Boston and had t h e great advantage of having a mother who was a good amateur musician. When she discovered that her daughter was gifted with a splendid voice, she took? great care in training it, and later on brought her daughter to Paris, where she was placed in the hands of that distinguished teacher, Madame Marchesi, with whom she made rapid progress. Her musical education finished, she went to Brussels hoping to make a debut in that city. Several times she might have appeared in minor roles, but tho famous director of the Conservatoire of Brussels, M. Gwaert, dissuaded her, paying that she ought to make hoi' debut as a prima donna and nothing else. For a time she filled several minor engagements until at last she made her debut in grand opera in Paris, receiving the most enthusiastic reception. A decision which attracts wide attention in Utah and the territories has just been rendered by the courts of Idaho. The decision involves the /right of suffrage of those who at one time have been members of the Mormon church, but afterwards severed tjfcoir connection with it. Under the Edmunds law the right of citizen, ship is denied to po'ygamists. The Mormons have, however," evaded this provision by seemingly renouncing their allegiance to their faith. The case in question turned upon tho election of a sheriff in ono of the counties of Idaho chosen by tho votes of ex- Mormons, /.the court decided that such an cleetien was illegal, on the ground seemingly that once a Mormon always a Mormon, and consequently such votes were not to be counted. Should the case be carried to a higher tribunal and here the decision be reaffirmed, it would strike a blow at Mormonism which that sect could hardly survive The theory that tho jury system would be improved by selecting good men to sit in tho box seems to have roceived a severe blow in Trenton, Mo. On a trial there for murder they selected a minister of tho gospel to sit on the jury, The murder, a peculiarly cold-blooded ono, was proven beyond a doubt, and eleven of the jury voted at once lo convict the accused. The minister held out. He did not deny that the prisoner was guilty, but wanted to acquit him so that ho could be reformed. It is safe to say t h a t no moro experiments will be tried in Trenton with good men on the panel. . FOLKS WORTH KNOWING. T h o N o n - O f f l c l a l C e l e b r i t i e s of W a s h i n g t o n .

He is a man of polished manners and gaiters; of diffuso arid divergent eyebrows and concentrated speech.

Lincoln's secretary of the interior, nas b/on twice a member of the senate and editor of a Washington daily since then, and is now presiding judge of the Alabama claims court. Belknap, Grant's secretary of war, is practicing the profession of law with great success. All his old army comrades stick to him r.nd give him their unbroken confidence and their business, and he lives in aflluence. He h;is several grown-up boys and girls in his family. Horatio King, Buchanan's postmaster general, though almost 8) years old, is still straight, tall and light-footed, though he no longer practices at the bar. He goes into society, draws about him litorury people, indulges in reminiseenceses and writes for the press, criticising or suggesting. Ho is lean and tough, and may easily live to peep over into tha next century. H. C. King, the noted lawyer of Brooklyn, is his son. Judge Joseph Holt, who followed the flying Flood as Buchanan's faithful secretary of war, lives opposite the capitol. He has retired from active business and at 82 is nursing his rheumatic joints and laughing at the ways of the queer world. He takes an active interest in scientific progress and tries to "keep up with tho circus," as he calls it. His vast shock of gray hair, his high, broad brow and iirm jaw are familiar around the halls and galleries of the senate during sessions. Judge Holt had a curious experience not long since. Invitsd and even urged by a distinguished clergyman of Washington, one evening he attended a spiritual seance, to witness "materializations." When the spook appeared from behind the curtain in the dim light, he broke out, "I don't believe in it! It's somebody fixed up!" The ghost stood still, unabashed, and drew partially aside tho veil hiding tho features. "Well, who are you, anyhow?" inquired the distinguished skeptic. . "You know mo well!" exclaimod tho sepulchral voice, "1 am Mrs. Sur-ratC" Tho oTd-tnan gazed upon the notorious spectre with firm,.grey eye, unwinking, and did not let the trifling' circumstance that ho had hanged that iMy ^cloud his vision or confuse his brain. Mrs. Sun-alt, are you? How do you do, Ma'am?" said the gallant judgead vocato general. "Better," she replied, drawing the folds of tho celestial lleeeo more away from her face; "I am better." "O, bettor, aro you,11 ho answered with composure, " I am glad you aro better.'» GEOKfiK B A N t ' K O F T . Probably he thought of saying "Thorn wa^ room "for it." but was prevented by his noted urbanity and the reflection that his remark was sufficiently ambiguous. "You were guilty, were you not?" inquired the unllinching soldier. "Yes and no." she answered, to his surprise. "I was guilty of conspiracy to abduct Mr. Lincoln, but of tho plot to murder him I knew nothing." "Didn't Whitely carry you out that afternoon?" "No!" she exclaimed with energy. "It was proved in court," was the reply. -No!" "How was it, then?" "I carried him out. He was innocent." And so on and so on. It would be fruitless to report the evening, but it is understood that Judge Holt speaks ironically about the lady, and says he has no idea whether she came from the upper or nether regions. Our most distinguished literarian is. I suppose, George Bancroft. Ho lives in a fine double mansion near tho white house and likes to go to the president's receptions, where he is always a littlo volatile and hilarious. He is 80 years old now. He was Polk's secretary of the navy, in which capacity he not only established the naval school at Annapolis without any assistance from congress, and ordered the seizure of California without any authority from anybody, but he laid tho keels of several new boats and got them well on the stocks before he was superseded. The old man thinks he is at present writing a history of Polk's administration. It is a harmless and amiable delusion. He has arrived at an age when all men lack persistence of will and tenacity of memory. 1 found him in the congressional library, the hist time 1 was there, an open volume in his lap, his head leaned against the casement, sound asleep amid the hurrying throng. He and Corcoran used to scour all this region on horseback, and then Spofford succeeded Corcoran, but finally Bancroft got so that he could not lift his heavy leg to the stirrup tmd "Old Whitney" was sold a couple of m.D:ith; ago. F R A N K H A T T O V . Bancroft disposed of his horse, but he keeps in the front hall a bulldog that protects him from visitors. A member of congress from the south tells me of an attempt to get by this bulldog and carry to the great historian a messago from Mrs. Polk. "A nigger met me at the door," ho says, "I told him what I wanted and gave him my card. He said I couldn't see Mr. Bancroft, for he was busy writing, but mnybo I could see his privato secretary and he vanished up stairs. In about five minutes ho came down andsaid the private secretary couldn't see me either, for he was busy, too. I made a hurried movement to the foot of the stairs, when a IIuttering form appeared on the upper landing and looking over said: 'You can't see Mr. Bancroft, sir, and I myself mn very busy, 'indeed. What do you want,?' " 'Arc you Mr. Bancroft's private secretary?' 1 asked. " T am. sir,1 he replied with proper majesty and empi essmont. " 'Very well,' said I, 'I am only a member of congress, and am about to negotiate with this nigger, and probably shall resort to bribery, to inducts him to intercede v, t;h you to securo from you the distinguished honor of a brief audie n c e ' "At that the high-toned covo came down and lent mo one of his ears. Isn't it odd?" Bancroft has gone with his family to the--summer cottage at Newport. John H+vj' who lives a block further cast, directly'opposite the whlto house, has gone to Eimirtc-^vith his family. Ho has the handsomest houao in Washington, and a wifo and four children who rank with the house. Ho doos not pretend to be doing anything in a literacy wav oxcopf to prop;ire "Lincoln a History" for tho Century in collaboratio «-Nwith Nicolay. No'xfc door to Col. Hay and undor a similarXroof lives imd works Henry Adams,*}'oungo *t ton of Charles Francis Adams. Having got a status in the world of letters by producing admirable biographies of Albert Gallatin and John Randolph, ho is now maturing a history of tho life and administration of Jefferson, whoso p a r t i a n s we-o tho bittor personal foes of his gnat-grand father. lie has probably ea*st off tho ant ioathioa of his nn-.'ostors. and we know t i n t old John Adams was one of the mo it bigoted of men. but there is a good dial of curiosity as to tho quality of the product to bo distilled from the hell-broth of tho first decade of the century. Adams is a widower, 1 believe, and ho has now trinpedi>ff to the Paris exhibition with Hay. Col. Nicolay. Hay's literary chum, still lingers here, l'o • housekeeper ho has a lovely and vivicious daughter, scholarly and aesthetic in her tastes. "For lack of something else that I can do, I mess oils," she says, but eome of her paintings, nota'ily those of surf and shore, are- exceedingly good reflections of nature's own moods. Sho and her father think of going and sitting on tho Nuntucket sands for a couple of months. I called at the Nicolay home yesterday. The author is busy reading the proofs of the history of Lincoln running in the Century and editing "Tho Works of Abraham Lincoln," to bo published next year by the same house. The present running history will Gnish in March next—a little over three years long. "For the forthcoming book," said Nico'ay, "wo havo already about 1.500 entries of Lincoln's original documents, ranging from a message or a speech to a letter three lines long. The whole will be abundantly annotated." The widow of tho poet, N. P.

The death of Maria Mitchell, which occurred on tho 28th ult. at Lynn, Mass.. removes tho last one of tho three great women astronomers whoso achievements in their special domain have added much to the glory of this century of scientific progress: Carolino Herschel and Mary Somerville, tho other members of the t: io, having long sdnce passed awiiy, the former in 1848, tho latter in 187:.'. "I was born with only ordinary ability," wrote Mary Mitchell once to a friend, "but with cxtrao"din;iry persistence." And this more than anything else that can be said c,ives the s e e e t of her greatness. Sho was born at Nantucket, that old sea-faring town that se?ms to havo possessed the right atmosphere and associations for the development of strong character. Her home surroundings were congenial, her father having a scientific bent, and the rest of the famly being iuel'ned in tho same direction. It was not with the purpose of bocoming an astronomer that Miss Mitchell began the study of tho science she h;is since dona so much to further. As Caroline Herschel became eagerly interested by assisting her brother, so she in aiding her father found the field in which she was to distinguish herself. Her first achievement of importance was tho discovery of the new telescopic comet in 1817, for which she received the prize offered by the King of Denmark. Miss Mitchell did not know of tho prize being offered, and though overjoyed at her success, she was in no haste to publish the discovery to tho world. A few days later her father, writing to his friend Prof. Bond, of Cambridge, is "pleased to inform his friend that Maria, while scanning the heavens a few nights since, discovered a new comet five degrees above Polaris." The father adds that it will gratify Maria if his dear friend can find time to write to her. Tho same comet was discovered a few nights later by other astronomers, in this country and in Kurope, and it was only through the efforts of Edward Kverott that Miss Mitchell's priority of discovery was established and tho prizo awarded to her. James Burton, the historical writer, asks if/{here is anything in tho study of astronomy that tends to prolong life, and cites the fact that Carolino Herschel lived to bo 'J8 years of age, and Mrs. Somerville, 1)2. Miss Mitchell was nearly 72 years old. It is not to bo supposed that astronomical studies will add years to one's life, but the ripe age to which the.-e women attained proves that if hacd ;iud persistent mental work does not prolong the life of woman it certainly does nothing to shorten it- — Milwaukee Wisconsin.

K E N T U C K Y M O U N T A I N E B A Vi«lt t o a T y p i c a l F a m i l y Bullskln C r e « k . It was early in tho morning of a perfect April day that we went down the road that leads to the banks of the Bullskin—a creek that traverses & part of Eastern Kentucky, wri correspondent of tho Wash Star. It was a charming ride th tho mists and shadows of the morning. Our destination was house of an old man named Barger. It was a quaint old pi ice, much cleaner than tho houses in that country usually are, with the remarkable luxury of an "up-stairs." Old Mrs. Barger was preparing dinner when we arrived, and we sat down to dine at 10 o'clock in the morning, told the family that we dined at h about eight hours later than that, they would not believe i t Most of the party belonging to t h * geological survey set off immediately for the mountains, but I spent the long afternoon reading, napping and chatting with old Mrs. Barger. She busied herself about the stove, which, w k h the dining table, wa< undor a shed in the yard, and sang old-time hymns in tho hijhost voica I ever heard. She suddenly stopped singing and asked rae if I had ever hoard t h a t "hime11 before, a id whilo I was trying to guess at her meaning she explained by saying that s h i got it from an old "himo-book" that was nearly a hundred years old. She was un active old woman, the mother of many stalwart sons and daughters. One of the latter, a strapping bare-legged lass of 18, had just gone to tho creek with tho family laundry. This is quito a serious m tter. particularly for the clothes. Thoy scrub them in the water, then pound them with heavy paddle* tiil their ideas of cleanliness arc satisfied*. It takes good homespun to bear such heroic t r e a t m e n t In the evening I joined the group sitting about the fire waiting far supper. They wore "tho boys" come in from the farm work with several neighbors who had boon help-, ing. Darkness had fallen, and the mon about tho fire were as silent and sedate as only a group of mountianeers can be. Tho silence was suddenly broken by tho entran :e of a hale, hearty, old man, whom all tho party addressed as grand pap and treated with great respect. Tb.3 old man placed himself with utmost care on a stool near the fire, and waited until Mrs. Barger h;id resume I her work at the tiro, and tho men had gone back to chewing their "long cut" and to silence; then he looked about him with an uir of enjoyment, and slowly remarked: "I lay I'mgoin1 to leave this creek." "Why*, what's the matter, grandpap?" came in a chorus from all sides, for grandpap had been a landmark oa the creek before any of them were born. "Cause,11 he repliod, cause it ain't safe fur nobody as lives on this croek; it ain't safe." 'The men sat upright for a moment and forgot to chew, the bacon b u r n ' t unnoticed on the stove, and after enjoying the suspense for a moment, the old man continued in his soft drawl: . "Bud Simpson has done beat J o e Batter's wife all to pieces with a fence rail, and run off an lef1 her fur dead." Various exclamations came from all sidos, while I sat by and listoucd to tho details of what seem id to me to be a shocking assault. Grandpap explained, with slow care how t h i quarrel originated with the "dawgsand tho h:iwgs," and finally concluded by r e - peating, " I tell ye I goin' to leavo the croec; it ain't safe.'1 Mrs. Barger returned to her bacon with tho astuta observation, '{Wall, that boats my time," and took no further part in tho conversation, but tho mon wore thoroughly arousod and discust-o 1 tho outrage with solemn eagerness. One tall fellow, who soomod to bo a man of soms importance, reuchod quite a fevor of excitement, and all tho littlo circled stopped to listen when h3 delivered h opinion. "A man ain't no right to beat a woman with a fenco rail. A man shouldn't beat none of my women folks with a foncerail. If Bud Simpson wanted to beatTildy Baker, why didn't he take his fist an' beat her. A man ain't no right to beat a woman with a fence rail. Ho orter to have took his fist." Tho party all agreed that punishment with the fist was the proper moio for women, and silence soon reigned again. & *-l'V.f »?:. * * Would 'Not Do.

BEMETT, EDITOR 1ND PROPRIETOR Pinckney, Michigan, Tnur»o»y, August at, 15»y. Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, J ULY 30, 18S9. With everyone that can Ret away from this Deer Park to the Departmental messenger who has goue down the river for a dsrVs outing, Washington has a nearly deserted appearance on Sunday. The houses along Connecticut avenue are closed for the summer, and that thoroughfare, which is wont to be the afternoon parade ground of fashion on foot and in carriage, showed yesterday only a few solitary wayfarers. Pennsylvania avenue, democratic as it is respecting its loiterers at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon in raid-summer boasted only a few apologetic passers by, who are wondering why they did'nt go out of town themselves. The sidewalks were as hot as frying pans the asphalt pavements seemed to sizzle under the July sun yesterday. At the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and seventh street is a rride space, where hacks stand on week days and which boasts a curiously sh'aped drinking fountain which was erected five years ago by some Western man *nd which has never by any chance contained water since its first month's existence. If there is any breeze in the business part of the city it is here. Across this deserted space at 3 o'clock comes a wiry lame little old colored man, with a Bible under his arm and without any preliminaries he kneels down beside the fountain and prays long and earnestly. A score of loiterers slowly gather around him, and lie commences to harangue them. His sermon is rather'long, and is like the efforts of most old colored preachers. extremely doctrinal and tfio text is taken from revelations. We concludes by getting the Johnstown horrors in some mysterious jumble mixed with the use ot wine among Congressman. The score of loiterers that have gathered are now doubled and as t,itcolored man departs, a Ion*: haired white man with a lot of mam moth black charts conies into view. Thesecharts have ship* drawn on them and mountains and pyramids with novel lettering scattered about. The white man begins his discourse without prayer and for a half hour explain.-, tbe.pictures on the chart, the whole thing appearing to be an object lesson, treating, of the deliverance of the children of Israel out of bondage. The white man is not an exhorter, and, indeed, he becomes so much interested in his subject and,wanders so far into speculation that he- has no time for exhorting before he is interrupted. A huge wagon is drawn up by six horses into the center of the pleza. There are fully twenty people, men and women seated in the wagon, and there is also a small organ. A sound of a concert is hear striking the first notes of "Nearer My God to Thee" and the people in the wagon commence to sing. By this time, people are just coming by from the post-office where the Sunday evening delivery hjour is on, and the crowd asaumes^respectable proportions. iSpeech^aner speech is made relative to^pe'rsonal experiences. the quality^ofihe speeches being perhaps mote of a matter of astonishment than the experience. Some are really able and some are really drivel. With a parting song, in which many in the crowd join,, tho wagon, with its great gilt letters "Gospel Wagon1' glistening in the setting sun is whirled away. For the last half hour, waiting patiently on one side is a group of four •or five womefl and a half dozen men. They are cheaply and coarsely clad, and the women's faces bear the brand of care and worry. These people belong to the Salvation Army and are waiting their turn to take possession of the square. They stand there perfectly stolid. One young Austrain among them, with the most intensely stupid face I ever saw, tries to sell a few copies of the "War Cry" the official organ of the Army, which he carries under his arm. When the wagon has gone away, they all kneel down and the Captain, who is a young woman, prays in a shrill, piping treble.* When she is thorough it is dark, and the little group commences to sing some sort of religious verses to the air of "I'll meet Ler when the sun goes down," So it goes on for an hour, the singing and praying and exhorting, until the women's voices are faint and the crowd gets tired out and departs. Then this miserable reminent of a shabby army slinks off to ned uo dirty alleys and into poverty stricken houses, and yet happy in enthusiastic and unwavering adherence to their "cau&e." What fesv of the churches that retain their Sunday night services, have discharged their eongre«ation3 and no sound breaks silence except an occasional street car, until the belated excursion boats come in at nearly midnight. A parly of heavy drinking "sports," who have been put among the road houses all day, cross the deserted plaza and stop to whistle and jeer at a wretched drunkci woman of the town, who finally sits down at the foot of the abandoned fountain, to wait for a policeman to arrest her. Surely the former religion that has been offered there to-day, have a work to do. 2 i BUJOW NQNNS MMKM l a t h u tick HMdaett*, Torpid Uv*r, Constipation. Hdalarla, Chill.

CHAS. FISHHKCK, (A true copy.) J udgo of Probate. A Lonely Old H a n . I saw an old-fashioned one-horM carriage driving down the avenue today. Tim body stood high on it* spring*, the paint waa rusty, and tha curtains were ripped here "and there and were sagged and blistered. It was drawn bv a Htiff-legged white horaa that walked with the dignity of aga and distinguished service. The driver, an old colored man, wore no livery,bat wore a linen coat and a bigb-crowned stiff-brimmed straw hat that were tha counterpart—except for longer service —of the coat and hat worn by the old gentlemen who sat alone on the back seat of the carriage. On the front seat was a market basket The old gentleman was a strikinglooking person. He appeared to belong to a paat age, as did his horse, his carriage, and his driver. The whole rig seemed to have just come from the seclusion of sorrow and to be in mourning for the dead bygones. The old man's locks were heavy and lon», but white with age. The broad shoulders were stooped and the face wore an expression of deep abstraction and utter loneliness. It was a strong face, with a heavy forehead and determined chin, but marked throughout with lines of sorrow. The old man is Judge Holt, who was in Buchanan's Cabinet, and was afterwards Judge Advocate General. He lives in great seclusion in a large house on Capitol Hill, surrounded ia part by a brick wall and in part by a high iron fence. He^'drives out in this old rig to the market, but he goes nowhere else, has no'companions, and I have never seen Itrni stop his carriage to speak with any one, or even to look from the window to. bow. His house stands on a high terrace with considerable ground around'lt, and within ita gate his old servant is his only companion.-— Washington Letter. ^ WHERE DYE COMES FROM. V e g e t a b l e S u b s t a n c e s a n d C o l o r s D U e o v * e r e d b y t h e C h e m l a t a . The sudden advance in the art of dyeing has been due to the general cause that lias contributed so "much to civilization during tho last hundred «iears. It has been duo to the discoveries in chemistry. Through all the many centuries of history the world knew only of natural dyes, and down to the beginning of tho present century, or rather till past the middle of this century, it still busied itself with the discovery of new natural agents. It had found indigo, cochineal, logwood, madder, quercitron bark, tuimacb, Brazil wood, .and othexvegetable or wood dyes, and it is learned by various means to be more or less successful, by tho use of chemicals in a process technically known as mordanting, in making permanent the colors produced by these agents. But it had not learned to distil color from the elements. It could reach only the boundaries of an empire that was not yet won. Finally, the chemist Unverdarben discovered aniline, a purely chemical agent, tho distillation from coal-tar. This discovery opened the way for an industrial revolution which is perhaps even yet only in the infancy of its movement. This happened hi 1826. But the utility of tho discovery was not kuown until many years later. It was not until the year 18o8 that tho tint kuown as Perkins's purple, a product of aniline, followed soon afterward by aniline red, or magenta, became known. Then tho revolution was fairly inaugurated, and since this latter date the advance has-.been rapid. All that is most brilliant in color is credited to this new chemical agent. But tiie body of the art remains unchanged. What are technically known as tho wood dyes have more substance and permanency than the aniline dyes. Indigo still forms the basis for blue. The scarlet on the coats of the British soldiery, warranted not to run, is mainly produced from cochineal; madder is the basis for crimson red and turkey red, and yellow is produced b}' fustic, quercitron barks or its concentrated extract called tlavine, and from Avignon or Persian berries. The mordriots remain also unchanged. Chief among them is the oxide of tin, called tin spirits by the trade. This fixes the scarlet colors founded upon cochineal; but alum is used as a mordant for crimson red, and eherVv red is produced with a tin mordant lor ammonical cochineal. Turkey red is produced from madder on an aluminous basis. Thus ran the formula in the old art of dying, and thus it runs still. Aniline is" rather a reinforcement than an independent agent. Prussian blue, however, is purely a chemical product, and its ai scovery antecuueu me QI»- covery of aniline colors. But after the production of the simple or primary colors comes tho prodution of the infinite variety of tints that go to make up tho total used in the industrial arts. In this work the process of the dyer dillers from the pro* cess of the painter rather in the means of execution than in the principles ou which ho works. Does tho dyer wish to produco a greeu fabric? He may mix indigo (blue) with fustic or quercitron bark (yellow), handling at the same time the mordants iu accordance with the teachings of the best experience, and the result will be of the desired color. Does he want orange? The dyes that produce yellow and red will give him an orange fiber., aud by tho same process of combination he may have purple, violet, mruKe, gray, drab, black, or any one of>>I. Chevreul" s lo.OOO chromatic tints. But he should be a man with a trained eye, and a person who is color-blind will hardly nutk* -s^vr.—Kew York Sun, NOTICE!

Crawford wan returning from the races in Detroit the other evenmgund, when near the coruer of lieaubien alreel and Clinton avenue, came up to u buggy containing two men. Crawford asked the men to allow him to pass, when the men whipped their horse and attempted to prevent Crawford driviug past thein. Craw ford remonstrated witn the men for so cruelly b«atiog the r horse, when one of the men jumped from the buggy und at tacked Waiter Mason, a young man who was with Crawford. Mason not feeling inclined to ti.-riit ran about one hundred leet, but finding one of the ruftians close behind him turned ami showed resistance. His pursuer then hit him two or three times, knocking him iuio the middle of the street. The companion of Mason's assuilant drove close to the curbstone at the corner of Macomb street and Clinton avenue and springing from the buggy attacked Crawford He opened on ihe old man by knocking him down, and followod up the outrage by kicking him in the ribs and abdomen. By this l.me toe beginner of the tight had worsted Mason, and the two brutes jumped into the buggy and drove off, turning down Clinton avenue, toward Orat.ot avenue. Mason, uj on returning to where Crawford lay, found him unconscious and hastened to the county jail ;o telephone for the Emergency ambulance. He also no'dtied the police of tho light. By the time the ambulance got to tho scene of the disturbance, a large crowd hail congregated, but no one seemed to be able to give a description of Crawford's assailants. The injured man was taken to the Emergency bospit d where it was found he was fatally iu.ured. A short time after his arrival the physicians in charge of the hospital concluded he could not live and teiepuoned that fact to police headquarters. Koundsmen Spillane and Irving were sent out to investigate the case and subsequently Sergt. Culver, chief of the detectives, and Detective Baker began work on the aifair. About titteen minutes after reaching the Emergency hospital, Crawford died from injuries. The physicians could find no marks about the head indicating a fracture of the skull, and attribute his death to a wound in the groin, which evidently resulted from a kick with a heavy boot, Hog-an Lost. There is no longer any doubt but that Ed. Hogan, the Jackson aeronaut, who mad.1 the ascension in the Campbell air-ship from Brooklyn, N. Y., the other day, is lost. Hogau had his parachute with him, but he did not take it with him in the air ship. Campbell did not throw into the little car in which Hogan sat a life preserver. The big si hip rose swiftly, Hogan turning tbe crank which governed the fan propeller under the car. The idr-ship went up perpendicularly for about TOO feet, and then stopped. The machinery was evidently not in perfect order. The ship sailed off to the north, and then to the east, and theu sou red over to the southeast. The people who watched it were at a loss to understand this course, for it was Prof. Hogan's plan to sail over to New York, to balance the ship over tho newspaper office, and thus to show to the world what a success the air ship was. Everybody who saw the air ship sail away was confident that the ship had lost it* power of steering, and was simply a balloon. Campbell has been tinkering away at his air ship for 81) ye rs or more, and says that the ship < ost W,000. The only hope now indulged is that Hogisii may have been picked up by a ves gel at sea.

William Hogan of Jackson, brother of E. D. Hogan, tho loat aeronaut, madn a balloon ascension in St. Thomas, Out., th> other day, going 4,01)() feet high, and hid a narrow escape from death. Tho top guy rope of the balloon became fastened to the parachute, and it w s not until the balloon had reached within DO.) feet of the ground in its descent that the aeronaut was able to shake the rope off. Had he jumped before making the dis overy, the balloon would have turned over upon the parachute, driving it to the ground, and instant death would have been thoresul'. Hogan alighted upon a stone, breaking two ribs, and was dragged 5U feet, bruising his s.de and shoulders. Couldn't JStaml Cramps. DaviJ U. Palmer, who was sent to,state prison from Gratiot county for 20 years for murder, tried to make his escape the other day.

Plaintiffs claim that they comraeted with the defendant* to have :^,000.000 feet of logs s .wed by them but only 2,000,000 feet of the lumber was returned. Defendants disclaim liability for the 1,000,000 deficit, upon the ground that the logs escaped from their boom. Weekly Crop Report.

So he cast about a commonplace topic. "How do you like the country?'' h e inquired, somewhat hastily; and Miss Loiwent glanced up quickly, as though in surprise at his change of manner, but & ho was .i.t slow to take up the new Bub.eet "How do I like the country?" she >e I mockingly, but with a ig smile which took of the edge satire, "How does one like aiter feast:ng—small beer after Fling Moselle!** Tell me that and I wIH tell you how I like the country !" Tom laughed. " I don't tind it so bad," he said. »'Xo, because you are accustomed to notlnug else. But I always piae whon away lrom London." "Are you vovy gay there?" "Oh, \es!"—with an ination, and that wicked flash in her eyes which gained her some enemies and friends, but manv admirers. "Gay! I should think soV1 "Don t you ever get—tired?" hesitatingly. "You would not say so if you had lived there!" But seeing him look unconvinced, she added archly, "Wou.d you be tired of dancing all through the night with a pretty girlP" She was holding her head on one side to get a view of his down-bent face. Tom, turning, caught her in the a c t "Not if it were you,"" he said, looking straight into h e r o e s . •She laughed, turning away coquettishly for a moment "Oh, Mr. Berkeley! Now, what a mercy Mrs. Stephenson was not here to hear t h a t She would have been shocked!" " I shouldn't care! And I don't see what there is to be shocked a b o u t " "She would say I was teaching you all sorts of naughty things."

But you must not come so often .as to make the others laugh at us." "Oh, I don't carp for thera!" ho said although he flushed, deeply.

Mary's had tome up foragossip.and eut there, ! brother—Lieutenant Trflgelles." Tom having the discourse almost entirely pronounced his nanu with pride. "A to herself, in her deep mellow tones. If Miss Derwent felt vexed for a moment as hhe greeted the old lady instead of the young man whom shu had expected to sue, she did not betray her feelings. CHAPTER III. R. Rowland arrived in time for tea. Miss Turtell and Tom also sUiid, pressed by Mrs. Stephenson. It was dark be'ore they had finished tea; and Mi.sa Turtell wanted to go home immediately afterwards, as she was expecting a friend to call; so it was arranged that Mr. Rowland, in company with hii Jiawux, should escort Miss Turtell home. It was a be uliful warm October evening, with a young moon rising, and promised well lor a stroll. Miss Derwent said as much, and hinted thru she would like to make one of the party, when she way checked by Mrs.Stephenson's nods and winks and emphatic whispers. "You see, my dear, Louisa and Mr. Rowland will bo lone after seeing Miss Turtell home; and I always make a little allowance in these affairs. You would not care for their company then, so fond as they are of one anotuer." MifcS Derwent raised her eyebrows as though slightly incredulous; but fhe was compelled to give up the point and stay in the lighted drawing-room with the others. She turned away and looked at a book with that bored expression that she had worn in the morning before meeting Tom. "Could I do anything to amuse you —to entertain you?" Tom asked. "Yes," she answered, recovering herself. "We will sit on the sofn, and you shall talk to me '—sitting down as she spoke, and making room for him at her side. Tom was quite willing. To be near her, to talk to her, even before others, and only of commonplace things, was a delight. Mrs. Stephenson-sank into an easy-chair with a book, and Phyllis sat down at the piano. "Now you young people must try to amuse yourselves until Louisa and Mr. Rowland come back," the widow observed comfortably; '"then we will have some singing—with his line voice to help us." "I wonder what you- do with yourself all day? ' queried Miss Derwent of her companion on the sofa, under cover of "Sacred Memories." "Oh, nothing particular," ho replied. "And I suppose you will always be doing" 'nothing particular,1 as you are the eldest son?" "Oh, I don't know about that! We're too poor; Dan and I will both have to turn out. " "Dan is your little half-brother, is he not?" Tom nodded. "And I suppose.you are very fond of each other?" "Oh, he's a jolly little chap enough," said Tom tranquilly. "Can you remember your own mother?" she pursued. "It must bo a long while sinoo «ho died." .."Yes—fifteen years; she died when Agnes -was only a week old. No, I can't remember her at all." "Just as wett--. perhaps"—gently. "It certainly must lielp. you to look kindly upon the present Mrs* Berkeley, and—smooth away many difficulties." "Oh, she's all right onough." re-, joined Tom cheerfully. "She JjeCps Agnes in order and she dcu>Hi*l interfere with mo." Miss Derwent 5*ughed. leaning back a<g^nst the cushions, her pale face outlined against the dark velvet. "Is that the passport to your fancy?" she inquired. "What?*' demanded Tom. staring at her. "Well"—comprehending her the next moment—'•'in some cases it is." "Then I think I will ,go and join Phyllis at the piano," sho began laughingly. "I won't let you," interrupted Tom boldly; something in iior look or manner as sho spoke .thus lightly made him forget his shyness and selfdistrust. "Well"—'.aughing—"I .am not going to measure my strengLh against yours."' "My strength, such ai it in, is on your side, at your service, and ever shall be!" he said, bonding a little nearer. She laughed lightly again. "Now if wo ware back in the days of chivalry," sho said, "and you were my knight and wore ray favor on your helmet, that promise might be put to the test." "It might be ovon now,"' ho replied eagerly. "If there wore to be a war in anothor yo.ir or two, it might fall to my lot to do'end you with my sword, and I would die before danger should come near you!''—his eyes dilating as ho spoke. But Miss Derwent seemed not to hoed his passionate declaration. though she looked interested. "Why, aro you going 4nto the army?" she enquired. > lirst- rato fellow, I can tell you." "You mu.it alL think a great deal of him, of course. And do he and hi» sister make the manor their home?" "Oh, no; Mary has nevor lived with us before when he has been away—• they have a nice place in Buckinghamshire; but Mary's aunt, who used to live with her, died, and she could not make up her mind to st .- there alone or to have a stranger for a companion; so she came here to us and we were very glad to have her." "No doubt you were! How anxious she must be about her brother! She must long to see him back again safe and sound!" "She does not worry about him a bit But Mary is more sensible than some girls, and sho doesn't make everybody miserable talking about her feelings. She knows its of no use to expect him just yet—unless, o^course" —with instinctively lowered tones — "he should be invalided home.'1 "Oh, wo must hope that won't happen!" "I think Mary talks to the Vicar about him nsoro than to us," confided Tom. "Oh, does she?"—in a tone of surprise. "Well, you see. he and Mary are spoons on one another." "Indeed? I shouldn't have thought it!" "You wouldn't? Well, I'm surprised! I thought you understood all about such things," he ventured to say smilingly, with a desperate ctTort_ to turn the conversation to hits 'e-vvn advantage. "Now why should you imagine that?" she enquired. "Oh, I can hardly tell you—you look as if you did!"—with sudden boldness, followed immediately by a feeling of ab.ect fear that ho might havo otTended her past all forgiveness. But she did not look offended; she smiled at him, shaking her head. "Bad boy!" sho said; and Tom. emboldened by the manner in which she pronounced these words, took her hand In his. "I sha'n't let you go until you say I am good!" ho whispered. But, Phyllis rising and coming towards them as the same moment,he had to relinquish his hold; and Miss Derwent looked inlo^his face and laughed triumphantly, while tho boy returned h e r g a ' e , unable to smile, trembling from bend to foot. The bethrothed couple made their appearance ksooner than was expected, as though they had not found each other s society so vory absorbing after all. Miss Derwent eyed them shrewdly as they caino in, and so did the anxious mother. Mrs. Stephenson was well aware that Louisa was heavy iu a prolonged toto-a-tete. "So that is what you have been doing ever since we left you?" observed Mr. Rowland somewhat quizzically to Miss Derwent, going straight over to the sofa, while Louisa went away to take oil' her things. "Yes—idling away ourtime for want of something bettor to do,*" she responded, looking up in'o Mr. Howland's face. "Why, what would you call^some thing better?" he rejoined. "A good many things, I should think'," interposiidr^ii'S. Stephenson blandly. "Yo'u know I don t approve of tlve>er^ldle Sunday evenings; but wjtdCcluuvh at three o'clock in the "ufternoOn-^-a barbarous hour!-—what is one to ao?-'—appealing to her prospective soa-in-Iitw^ "One cannot read all the time—at least my naughty girls don't—and they get tnild'ng-^not always upon Sunday subj-ects either" —indulgently. "I am afraid I am as bad," confessed Mr. Rowland, speaking to Mrs,-,-- Stephenson but looking at Miss Derwent, who kept her face turned to him, and WHS smiling bewitehingly. "Ah, yes," said the widow., shaking A GRAPHIC S T O R Y . H o w the L i m i t e d E x p r e s s Escaped D e s t r u c t i o n In t h e Great Disa s t e r .

Some of the residents in and about Whitmore Lake claim that ever since the Grand Trunk R. R,« warbuilt that the water in the lake has been gradually lowering, this year it being lower than ever before known, and about four feet lower than it ought to be. The cause assigned is the tilling in of what it is supposed is the inlet to the lake. The railroad had a great deal of trouble in making a strip of road over a marsh near the lake, and it took acres of timber and earth before it became firm. And the Toledo & Ann Arbor had a similar experience also, and still slows up the trains in going over. It .& thought by some that the entire chain of lakes, some five or six in all, in that vicinity have underground connections, as there are no visible inlets or outlets, and now that Whitmore Lake is Cut off from its supply, it is only a question of time when it shall entirely dry u p and disappear. It is asserted that the other lakes in the chain have raised from two to three feet within tbe past few years, thus carrying out that theory. Scientists who profess to know claim that tbe water in Whitmore Lake, covering such a great surface, evaporates at the rate of one-half inch every fine day through the means of snn and wind. At that rate, with no source of supply, the time is not far distant when fishing will be scarce out at Whitmore.—Ann Arbor Register. JACXSON, AUG. 1.—William Mc- Dowell, residing on a farm two miles from Howell, went to South Lyon about a year ago on business, taking with him several hundred dollars. He transacted some business and mysteriously disappeared. His family and friends could not account for his absence, and believed he had been murdered for bis monev. Mrs. McDowell's brother, Charles Welker, did everything possible to clear up the mystery, but did not succeed in obtaining even the slightest cine. His friends finally gave up all hopes, and he was given up for dead. Yesterday a young man, who formerly resided in Howell and knew the particulars of the case, met McDowell face to face on Main street in this city. McDowell stated that he had been wandering about since he left home a year ago. He had been all through the West and had just returned to Michigan. Tbe only reason he gave for his disappear-, ance was that he was heavily in debt and no chance to sell out which discouraged him. Charles' Welker of Howell was notified of McDowell's presence here and came to meet him,' This morning McDowell returned to Howell to meet bis parents and six* children. McDowell was not well at the time of his disappearance, and it is' believed that his troubles somewhat affected his mind.—Detroit Tribune. (Additional local on tovth p«f*y K •>" - "> A TT^V v\ - :s.

The tailors' union of Boston authorized an investigation inlo tho condition of workers iti that branch of industry and a delegation was sent to New York for this purpose.

This is worso than slavery and makos one long intensely for the realization in this day of the happy condition of existence so, vividly portrayed by Edward Bellamy in his interesting book '•Looking Backward. " .John Chinaman will now be allowed to pass through 1he United States in transit to foreign countries, the treasury department having sustained Attorney Conceal "Miller's ruling on this point. This will settle a much-vexed question, and relieve, the country of I he embarrassment which arose over the interpretation of the Chinese e.v elusion law. Should a lady receive gifts from a young man whose attention she desires to encourage? When this subject was suggested to me for discussion I do not think the propounder of it realized that it was as distinctly "American'' as the stars and stripes or the emblematic eagle. In no other country under the sun could such a question seriously arise becau?« in no other corntry is the young person allowed such latitude of conduct as In America. Of course, cur most careful mothers in conventional circles are supposed to rear their daughters in a very proper manner ;jjardinfr their asifoc'atlon with the oppo" site sex. But no matter how wisely the American girl is'chapcroned in public places, she is allowed and takes her small liberties of tete-a-tetes, and promenades with gentlemen friends which she could not take in any other lnnd upon the globe. Aside from this limited circle of ultra conventional people which each large city contains, we hare hundreds of thousands of beautiful andrefined girls dwelling In our lesser cities and country places who comprise the "best society" of their respective towns, and who walk, drive and dance about with their numerous admirers quite according to their own ideas of propriety and pleasure, and with no Interference fvorn rbap<nrms. Ihere recently a;>pea-rod in a French society journal the statement that It wascus/j tomary fox entire strangers to call upon American young ladies whom thfy,were desirous of meeting; that these/young ladies received them cordially a^id entertained them pleasantly by conversation until midnight frequently, when if the mother chanced to pass the, door and glance in the daughter would laughingly remark: "I do believe ma is getting curious." The mest remarkable statement regarding our customs wiU be a surprise to all good American mothers, I am sure, and yet too many American mothers do not exhibit enough curiosity regarding the young men who call upon her daughters. If Mollie and ^a'llie are fast friends*, Mollie is allowed to take her gentleman friends to call upon Sallie. And if for several weeks threfciter Sallie goes walking, rowing and driving with one of these gentlemen, her mother is quite satisfied with the explanation that it is "one of Mollie's friends." Mollie Is a neighbor's daughter, and a very nice girl, indeed, and Sallie's mother rests content with that knowledge, and is glad the young folks are enjoying themselves. While I rrssert bo'-dly, knowing thoroughly my premises, that Mollie's mother J may be found by the hundreds, in all the ; smaller towns of the United States, yet the vigilant and watchful mother exists, too. Not long ago I heard a gentleman, who had been remXrkably successful as a ladies' man, recount how en three separate occasions he was confronted by dignified mothers and asked to "state his intentions" before continuing his calls upon their daughters. As the g< ntleman in question did not marry any one of the three daughters in question, this method would hardly seem a successful one for mothers to pursue. But a thoroughly dignified young lady would never have permitted herself to be sufficiently compromised to need this question asked. However much liberty of action may be gTanted her there is an inborn pride in the true woman which compels her to defend herself from meaningless or compromising attentions. Although the chaperoning system is rapidly gaining ground with us, yet it will require another hundred year* at least before the American girl is as carefully hedged about with conventionalities as her foreign sisters are. Whether she will be the better for it in the long run is a subject open to discussion. I myself do not believe the girls who have been carefully guarded -roni the society of gentlemen un.ll their marriage make the best wives and mothers. I wish some statistic lover would study up this subject and find YhAt percentage of divorce* are from the in one »if the lessor western towns distinguished herself by entering iuto a limited engagement of marriage with seven admirers, from each of which she obtained a ring. These rings sha retained after the rupture of the engagements, and on her final marriage to another admirer, she displayed a unique bracelet which, she smilingly informed her friends, was made out of tho engagement rings of her discarded lovers. That this style of young woman exists in America to the extent sufficient to form a type, is proven, I think, by the old song with the catchy air which is played by street bands and sung at theaters and of which tho following Terse is a sample; "Although I don't intend to wed, To settle 4own in life, I'vpyrcmUed nearly forty niea That I v i l l be their wife. And for akis« they giva to me Fpll many a coatly thing. But, on my word, I don't iutend To wear the wadding ring." to monopolize the attvutious of young men whom they had met. A young man complained to me last summer at the sea shore of this propensity of young ladies. "I knew only one young lady here when I came,'' he said, "and she will not intio- A BKACELET MADE FBOM RINGS QF R E - JECTED SUITOKS.. duce me to any others.

Nothing makes a man so desirous of going as the feeling that he is being hiudred from going. Nothing makes him so ready to return as a willingness on your part to let him go. Ore of the greatest mistakes a yonng lady can make is to expect her gentlemen friends to entertain and amuse her constantly, while sho poses as a beautiful and admired ob'ect, f.om whom nothing is expected. Men tire quickly of this sort of woman. They are witling to exert themselves for a time, but they invariably demand to be amused finally. I have often seen plain girls, who knew how to amuse and entertain, walk off with the most desirable lovers of the seoson, while beauties sat as reserved wall flowers,, "willing to be entertained." After marriage, if sung to a respectable audience./ Yet it appeared a few weeks ago i n / a magazine which is devoted to giving pleasure to the home circle and which falls into the hands of young girls. / I saw the other day/ in a society paper the following verfe's which evidently relate to the same type of girl: I yavn B&'beUe a jeweled ring, (Balktle/i'h not tier name—no matter,) It WJJ'H a garnish, gaudy thing; V>]xi giit* like these can faroi- bring, Thi-y ar^jue for you aud Uity flutter / I purchased it andkissedeach Rem; / iLi'thought in fcahion mildly pensive; "A happier fate awaits for theUi Than resting in the diadem Of u:.y king with realms eituusiTe,1* What did the damsel I adore?

It seems to me the right ideas on these subjects do not have to be learned from i not before, you will find my words true; chaperons and customs. 1 cannot imagine • so learn to amust, for it is of more value a true-minded young woman in any station--; in keeping a lover than all the fine dresses., in life receiving any gift more expensive than a book or a basket of flowers from a gentleman not tied to her by bonds of blood or betrothal. 1 wish young girls could know the indefinable but certain lessening of respect accepts from a man who has not asked her to be his wife places her just so much farther from his honest respect. One of the happiest wives 1 know today, first attracted the attention of her husband by a conspicuous absence of jewelry with gift-loving young women.

T h e Curiosity of W o m e n . Seme time Hgo there appeared in a local paper an item to tho effect that if a woman saw a paragraph cut from a newspaper in her house she would not rest until she procured another paper to see what had been cut out. A young married man, egged on by his brother, cut out the paragraph referred to, and he had the satisfaction of seeing his wife hustle for another copy of the same edition. That is woman's curiosity. If any man cuts out this paragraph and gives his wife the paper she will certainly go to the nearest news stand and buy another copy to see what tho scissors have done. S a t a n . Satan can out-argue the shrewdest logician, and can confuse the profoundest philosopher. He is perfectly invulnerable to all human wit and wis lorn.

A Canadian Vessel Seized. The Canadian Htc m«r Black Diamond was seized by c n i t e d fetatos authorities in Bohring .-.ca receutly.

A horrible tr igedy occurred ic Columbus, O , July -7. Christian Weinman, one of the we.tl. hiest und most inhuenlial citizens of West Columbue, blew h s wife's br.dns out with a shotgun, and then fatally shot himself with a revolver. We nraanv who is a man past middle age, was iound lying on a sof - in the sitting room of his handsome residence on West'Broad street. His arms were around his wife, who was dead. This is the second murder and suicide in the Weinm n family. Christian Weinman's brother was killed some years ago by his father, who then kided himse.f. The'difficulty was in regard to money matters. The iamily has always been known as a pass,onate ono, although some of the. members of it are connected by marriage with the best people of the city. The couple le vosi*, children, the eldest beiuga daughter H years of age. Indian Outbreak Feared. Tho commissioner of Indian affairs has received a te.cgram from li. A. N. Harvey, chairman of a Citizens' committee, through Indian Agent Cole at tho Colville agency in Stevens county, Washington territory, saying that the Indians att iched to the Colville agency h »ve burnt eight square miles of h y and threaten the lives of tho settlers, many of wiiom are guar ling their dwellings and haystacks. The settlers have Bigned a petition asking that a company of soldiers be sent them to protect their property and perhaps t..eir lives. T e telegram has boon referred to the necreUry of w a r with the request th^.t the military officer nearest the scene of trouble l e directed to promptly investigate the matter and take such action as may be deemed neenssary. The Indian officials have no knowledge of the causo of the reported trouble. Do*»s It Mean War* "Eighty thousand Turkish reserves have been ca.led out. The porte is busy buying unitormsand stores, and work is proceeding at the dockyards with feverish activity. The sultan is displeased at the attitude of the insurgen s in Crete and has decided to suppress the insurrection, even if it has to be done by force. The w a r ministry in Belgrade has ordered all three of the military classes of Hervia to mutter at once. T h e ostensible reason for tho order is that the Bulgarian troops have been ordered to mass on the frontier and Servia desires to be prepared for any event. England Wants Peaeo. In a speech at the annual ministerial banquet in London Lord Salisbury said that England's aim in foreign affairs was always "peace, with honor. ' Concerning the immediate danger of a conflict, ho regarded the vast preparations that had been made aa a g r e . t security for peace. Referring to Crete ho did not consider that there was any need to foar that t h e present movement would lead to any European disturbance.

American tools, American lamps, American rocking chairs—all are superior to the same articles manufactured in the Old World, and exhibited at the Paris Exposition. O u r brooms, carriages and buggies attract great attention and admiration. Australia already furnishes us much agricultural competition in European markets, and her rupid growth will soon render her more abio und active, but she is never likely to cause our wheat growers wellgrounded alarm. New Zealand, on the contrary, as a wheat growing country, h a s no equal in tho world, with tho exception of Dakota. It is a little singular that the late conservative ministry of Brazil should have opposed the granting of compensation to ex-slaveholders for their emancipated slaves while the liberals favored the plan. In consequence the slaveholders in parliament have gone over to the liberals and overthrown t h e conservative ministry. Premier Alfredo of the latter party will make no appeal to the people on the issue, and the slaveholders will probably secure a large sum from the imperial treasury in exchange for their "property" destroyed by the state. It is estimated that Niagara Falls will recede two miles and then remain stationary, their height at that point being eighty feet, instead of 10 V, as at present. The supposition is supported by an argument wu.ch appears reasonable. The present site is a limestone formation some eighty or ninety feet thick, with a shaly foundation, As the shale is washed away, the limestone breaks off, and the falls take a step backward. B u t the end of the shaly deposit will be reached two miles from tho present falls, and then the.rushing water will have more than it can do to wear away tho solid precipice over which it will bo projected. Old Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky proves his stanch Americanism by advocating the extermination of the English sparrow. In a letter to the Louisville Courier-Journal he says: "The English sparrow is granivorous, and, like all granivorous birds, eats insects only sparingly when pressed by hunger. Insectivorous and flesh-eating birds, as the crow, the blue-jay, the black bird, owls, hawk, etc., are always lean in the flesh while all the grain-eaters are fat when well fed. The English sparrow is generally fat the year round and is a delicious bird for tho table. The restaurants of tho city should understand this and aid in the destruction of these pests." The situation in the Conemaugh valley seenia to have changed for tho better. Fears of an epidemic of sickness at Johnstown and of sickness resulting from the foul river water in tho cities and towns below, have been dissipated. The state has assumed the task of clearing Johnstown and the neighboring, towns from the debris of the flood. Contributions of money continue to be made from all sections of the country, now amounting to.about $3,00J,000. The Cambria Iron Works and other industries are being started up. The loss of lifo in tho valley is now pretty accurately estimated at between $,000 and 10,000. In other portions of the state and along tho Potomac river, where immenso damage was done, measures of relief are being systematically applied. Fifteen Thousand Dollars for One. Canton (Miss.) Citizen. Fifteen thousand dollars in return for the expenditure of one dollar is not a bad investment, as all will admit, and that was the good fortune that befell our young townsman, Mr. Felix Hiller, who held a fortieth coupon in the lucky number (61,1)051 that drew the capital prize of $600,000, and his share thereof. Jl.i.OOO, was promptly paid to him through tho Canton Exchange Bank. As regularly as the months roll round the papers chronicle the good fortune of those ou whom the tickle goddess bestows her blessings through the .• gency of The Louisiana State Lotiery. This is not the first time winning numbers have been held in our town, b u t so lar^o an amount as that wou by Mr. Hiller has not heretofore come our way. We congratulate our townsman on his good fortune. The next drawing will take place on Tuesday, July 16, the capital pnzc being 1300,000. Will some lucky Cantonian • score another winning.' Who can tell? Tickets can be had by addressing M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La. The Popular Scienco Monthly for April calmly discusses the devil theory and comes to the conclusion that there is no evidence that will sustain tho idea of devils.

The ['resident has arranged that no more trips to Washington will be necessary until his return for the purpose of going to liar Harbor, and Mrs. Harrison has easily convinced herself that the White House improvements so dear to her housewifely heart are progressing as evenly as a M ay day. Quite an ofticial air pervades the atmosphere of the President's cottage. Messenger boys hasten to and fro at all hours of the day and far into the night. It is manifest that Mr. Harrison's escape from the city is not an escape from the office seekers. Mr. Halford, the private secretary, goes every morning about 9 o'clock to the President's cottage. The iirst mails are looked over and the serious work of the day begins. The Secretary writes about fifty letters every morning. It is expected, however that Miss Sanger the President's private stenographer, will arrive this week and relieve Mr. Halford of much of his labor. The study in which these mornings with affairs of puolic import are passed, is the largest ro>m in the cottage. The windows touch the polished' veranda floor, an'.d crackling wood every more, ing drives away the upland chill, In a room above, Mrs. Harrison perfects her .sketches of seen cry in the neighborhood, and delightfullvjumhles colors and outlines in true summer defiance of art. Y\'hile Mrs. Harrison has no conception.of drawing she has some conception oL' color, and her bits of scenery arc not altogether bad. Hut while in these tliirgs the President's holiday is si nv lotu* eating summer dream, it has rude interruptions, and these are not so much from the office seekers, who have at least an excuse for their presence, as for the excursionists. People whoare at home models of good breeding and law abiding in most things go to Deer Park and fall victims to the handshaking craae. They long to go up to the cottage and grasp ihe Executive hand and receiye a b a d of fancied magnetism, of which they can tell their children in days to come. The President's serene enjoyment of children's society at all times and in all places, is one of his homely virtues that endears him to thousands of good natured people who have a kindred love for little folks. The other morning he,sat on the veranda reading a newspaper, when a sudden chorus of shouts and screams rent the air and little Hen, the Latrobe girls and Blaine Elkins raced across the scene, chasing Mr. and Mrs! Poppingilly, the two Maltese kittens that accompanied the Presidental party to the hills. Up and around they scampered, until the kittens were caught and Mr. Benjamin had fallen down and torn his frock. Throughout the pi ay, which often jostled against his chair, the President remained as sedate as the day, oblivious to everything but the reading. Olive Logan Hikes is one of the people who brave the terrors of a summer in Washington. Her vears are carried well, and in her waning forties she looses nothing of her distinguished appearance, though there is present the adipose that makes so many distinguished women, like Lillian Russell and Fannie Davenport martyrs in their old age. Olive Logan is a lucky woman. The round , strong face, crowned with its wealth of gray hair, is a deeidedly happy one. The old lace and rare curious jewelry speak of a luxurious but refined taste. Olive Logan is the kind of a woman that one could love even after she grew old, and that is very much to say when one realizes the edge of Victor Hugogs sarcasm, "There will always be aplenty of old women." Olive Logan made her debut in journalism at the ago of 12 years, when her contributions began to appear in the Sfew York Press, then edited by that are bewildering. Her strong active nature has been transmitted to her two sons, Edward and John Douglass DeLisle, who are connected with the press of London and Paris, and who are doing remarkably clever work. The secret of the mother's success lies in her activity and her bravery. Olive Logan has the courage of her connections, and in everything even to her literary style— a daring that welcomes innovations and presses on to a future that shall be better than the past, The commission appointed by Secretary Noble to investigate the practice of the Pension Bureau in re-rating claims is holding daily sessions and expects to be able to render its report by September 1. The report wilt probablay in no wise duplicate Commissioner Tanner in any of the frauds that have occasioned this scandal.

CINCINNATI, OHIO. ifiEEOUJLLEa "A new class of swindlers hare begun operations in Fifth Avenue and upper Broadway," saitl on« of Iafluector Byrnes' detectives to a New York TeUyruni man while watching a well-dressed woman across the street. "That *lady' over there is a leading member of the ^anfr," he continued. "She would make $10 or f 15 to-day if let alone. She used to be a shoplifter. Because of the danger of detection, and ascertain knowledge that she'd be sentenced for the longest term possible if again arraigned before any justice in this city, she and some of her former companions have conceived the idea of making a good living as aristocratic beggars. You see they dresi fashionably, have pleasing manners, and know just whom to strike. "A good-natured business man ia their victim every time. One of the gang will accost him in the middle of a block, out of hearing distance. Her manner of greeting him would lead any one across the street to think her an acquaintance. In a low tone she gays she lost her pocket-book or been robbed. Her husband or brother, of course, ia a member of the same exchange as the gentleman addressed. Her name is given and recognized, and then, with false embarrassment and blushes she would trouble her victim for a few dollars. "Nine times out of ten the unsuspecting individual will say, 'Why, certainly; pray don't mention it,1 and pass over a $o note in a hurry, glad of the opportunity to do it. The swindler asks for his card and goes in search of another victim, after expressing her hearty thanks. The same person is never 'struck1 twice, and in this way the swindlers escape positive detection. A few of the fraternity will tackle members of their own sex with a story calculated to win a dollar or two; but this is only done when there is a scarcity of xnale prey. They work all sorts of dodges* and are often sue* cessful simply because of their tine appearance and good manners. I tried to get a well-known society man who had been swindled by that woman across the way to prosecute her, but he declined saying that it was a shame to lock ui> such a prettv woman.1' ihi» ** NOTICE!

ALBERT TOOLET, Secretary. What Is Done with Had Eggs. There was a lively row in progresi yesterday afternoon in the cellar of one of the large commission houses on Puane street. The belligerents were the porter of the establishment and a stout German woman, who held in either arm a large basket of apparently fnvsh eggs. The row itself was over the price of the eggs, the woman claiming that that thev were not worth over \'l cents per 100, while the porter held out stoutly for 4.) cents. Wh'Mi the woman who failed to gain her point had exhausted her stock of "biHiiigs^;it(;n the porter explained the situation to a U^^aU1 reporter m» follows: '•You see.''' he began, "every barrel of eggs that come in here lias to bo 'candled,1 and when we lincl one not up to the mark we throw it aside. These are either spotted, cracked, or rotten, as the case may be, and of these, which we call spots, cracks, and rots, we have many dozen each week to dispose; of. This woman had just bought 500 cracks and spots at 45 cents a hundred. What will she do with them ? Why, sell them to the ice-cream saloons and bakeries, not to mention the cheap restaurants. She will get from live to ten cents a dozen for them, according to the quality. The bulk of the eggs, however will be made into ice-cream. "Some of these big ice-cream concerns, 1' he went on, "use those eggs altogether, and 1 know of some large coffee houses who use them to give their beans a peculiar gloss. As for rotten eggs, the tanneries buy them. There is something in a rotten egg that gives a certain finish to some kimla of leather that nothing else will j^ive. Some of these women make a good living by buying up spoiled eggs, but their trade is being spoiled by the bakeries and restaurants who are now sending their own wagons after them. —New' York, Jlnrald. T h e Hoop-Snake. James, N. Lawrence, an old resident of this place, says a Coulterville (111.) letter to the St. Louis (ilobe-Dcmocrat, says that people who say there are no such things as hoop-snakes don't know what they are talking about. Mr. Lawrence has had several thrilling encounters with these reptiles and has killed several of them. The tirst one he ever .saw was in Ocean county, New Jersey, in 1817, while he was out hunting with a party of friends. He killed the snake and found it to be about seven feet long. On the reptile's tail was a prong or horn-shaped affair about three inches long. This contained poison. .Near Cape Girardeau, Mo., lie killed another hoop-snake. This was in 1858. It was about live feet long and was supplied with the samo prong or poison horn that was foil mi on the tirst one he killed. Both .snakes were rolling along1 -the ground at * lively rate when shot by Mr. Lawrence. CLEAR G THE O TRACK t ;FO:R - W E A:R:E3 o o i i s r a - T O GEO. W. SYKES & COMPANY'S T O B U T ?

The new bell for St. Mary's church was blessed Friday the 9th, by Rev. Theo. Buyse of Jackson, with Mr. S. Brogan and Mrs. Jeffreys as sponiors. It was given the name of William Patrick, after the worthy pastor of the church. The farmers have begun harvesting their cucumbers in this vicinity and have brought a number of bushels of them to the pickle factory in this place. They report that there will not be over half a crop this year unless we get rain very soon. The temperance lecture given by Mrs. Eliza Stone in the Cong'l church last Saturday evening and in the M. E. church on Sunday evening, were largely attended. Mrs. Stone proved herself to be an able orator upon the temperance question. In all voting places in Michigan new arrangements for holding elections will have to be made in accordance with the following provision of the new law. The election room is to have an entrance and exit, and a gate keeper, who is to admit hut one ehctor, who must pass • through a booth supplied with all kinds of tickets and slips, and here, unobserved, he can select his ticket and fix it to suit himself. Having voted, he must pass out and will not again be admitted. .Notwithstanding that the Scott perfecting web press used by the Detroit Journal, has a capacity to print and fold over 20,000 complete papers per hour, additional facilities have been found to be necessary, and another and duplicate press is now being added to their equipment. On or about August 20th they will begin to use both presses simultaneously with duplicate stereotype plates. The Detroit Journal has also just put in a new engine of three times the power of the one previously employed. It is a fact that newspaper readers do not slight advertisements. They have come to realize That the advertisements in a newspaper represent the goods which the merchants have for sale, and they take pains to familiarize themselves with whatfhopkeepers have to offer. Moreover the constituency of a paper are Very apt to be governed by what they read in their own paper. If the paper is accepted in its political, moral and intellectual tone, as our home paper, its advertisers share the respect and confidence bestowed upon the paper itself. This is an important fact for advertisers to remember: at the same time it calls for the exercise on the part of the newspaper publishers of great care in the admission of advertisements.—Williamston Enterprise. Samnel Starks of Genoa, baa been troubled for some years past with a cancer. Some time ago be went to Rome, N. Y., for treatment and returned supposing himself cured. Ad it has given him considerable trouble of late, he again went to Rome for treatment, a few days ago, but was at once informed by physicians there that they could not help him. He returned home in bis sorrow to find another sorrow awaiting him. On the day he went away his only daughter was taken suddenly sick and died and Mr. Starks arrived home just in time for the funeral. Coming home as he was, with no hopes of life before him, to waste away from a cancer in his face, to be greeted by his only daughter's funeral was indeed a sad home coming for Mr. Starks and he and family have the sympathy of all our people.—Livingston Herald.

BENNETT, Publisher. FINCKNEY MICHIGAN Zichary T. Sweeney, consul-general to Turkey, was born in Liberty county, Ky., in 1849, and is the younger of four brothers, all of whom are engaged in teaching the gospel, in connection with the Christian church in which his father and grandfather were preachers. When the boy was six years old his father moved to Macoupin county, 111. Here he attended the public schools until the age of 15 when he entered a seminary at Scottsville, III., where he laid the foundation for a collegiate education, earning tho money necesfor his living .by teaching. In 1.S68 he became a student at Asbury university, Illinois, pursuing his studies there for t h r e e years, serving at the same time as pastor of the church in Paris, 111. In October, 1871 he was called to the pastorate of a church in Columbus, Indiana, where he is still working in the spiritual iiold, although he has in the meantime twice held a pastorate in Augusta, Ga. Recently Butler university, of which he is L. L. 1)., made him chancellor. Lord Salisbury regards the vast preparations that have been made by different powers, as a great security for peace. So tremendous would bo the issues involved in a war among the European powers that no one is willing to take tho responsibility of hastening a conflict which all seem to regard as inevitable. Prince Bismarck's recent observation t h a t he could not tell whether tho German parliament would have any time noxl year to attend to legislation in tho interests of labor reveals what tho great statesman apprehends concerning the near future. For the present the Paris exposition serves as a truce. The representatives of science and art, industry and labor are pouring into the French capital from all portions of tho civilized world, and in witnessing the mighty achievements of peace iho minds of many are turned away from thoughts of war. As the exposition will continue till the close of the year there is no danger of a conflict before tho spring of 18(J0. In tho meantime England. France and Russia are increasing their armaments and poverty-smitten but ambitious Italy, ia struggling to keep up with the war-like procession. The treasury department has finally decided to interpret tho alien contract labor law with considerable latitude. Experience in the past few months in the endeavor to enforce it to t h e letter has shown it to be very imperfect in many respects. Besides causing vexation to many people the law, if strictly enforced, is very liable to strain our friendly relations with both Canada t.-nd Mexico, against which countries it can be made to operate severely. Until congress shall have defined its powers more definitely, cases brought before tho tieasury department will be at once dismissed unless t h e evidence is sufficiently strong to support them, when the complaint will be heard. This is a sensible rule, and will relievo tho treasury officials of much annoyance and embarrassment. Tho doctors of Bellovue Hospital, New York, sny that more criminals were roceived from tho three slate prisons to be treated for insanity during tho one year of enforced idleness among convicts than in any three years before. If tho theory could but be improssed upon tho people t h a t idleness produces insanity, there would be less grumbling about hard work. FARM M HOME. Tomatoes by the Acre. Tomatoes yield the best crops in heavy loam, that will notpack orbako. The plants, except for early planting, can be raised out-of-doors, in garden beds. The ground should have a dressing broadcast of 800 bushels to tho race of good, well-rotted barn-yard or hog-pen manure, well and thoroughly plowed in and harrowed down. When the season is well settled, h a r r o w the ground, and furrow out live foot each way; and put in plenty of fine, wellrotted manure at the crossing of tho furrows, using about eight hundred bushels to the acre in tho hills. Tread down well and cover with soil about three inches deep. Sit the plants well down in the ground, pressing the soil well up to them. It is best to wet tho plants when setting, as the soil adheres better. Keep tho ground clean and loose with the cultivator and tho hoe, drawing the soil or hilling them at each dressing. Tomatoes are marketed by placing in crates holding a strick or Winchester bushel, made of two onds and one middle piece, each three-quarters of an inch thick, eight inches wide and fourteen inches long; with slats nailed on three inches wide, 22 inches long, and three-quarters of an inch thick. Good heavy mason's lath will answer for slat9, leaving a space of one inch for ventilation between them. For a long distance from market they should bo picked just as they begin to show a red ting at the blossom end; but for near by they must be ripor or ,so they will be well ripened when they arrive in m a r k e t Care should bo taken not to pack any cracked or wormy ones, as they spoil the rest and injuro the sale of the whole. For Philadelphia market they are usually shiped i-n liveeighths stave peach baskets, covered with cloth, which are returned to tho shipper. Transferring isees. Mr. Heddon's me-Jo of transferring boes is a good one, and is thus described by him. lie says: About swarming time I t.jike one of my Langstroth hives containing eight frames of foundation, and with smoker in hand, I approach the colony to be transferred. First, I drive the old queen and a majority of the bees into my hiving-box. I then remove the old hive a few feet backward, revising the entrance, placing tho new ono in its place, and run in the forced swarm. In two days 1 find eight new straight combs with every bell worker, and containing a good start of'brood. Twenty-one days after the transter, I drive tho old hive clean of all its bees, uniting them with the former drive, and puton the boxes, if they are not already on. If there is any nectar in the flowers, the colony will show you comb honey. About the queens: I usually kill tho forced queen us the bees run in. I run them together as I would ono colony in two parts. Now to the old beeless hive; of course there is no brood left, unless a little drone-brood, and wo have before us somo combs for wax for some foundation, and somo firstclass kindling wood. If you have no method by which you can use a full hive of frames, of full sheets of foundation, running a full swarm into them at once, by all means procure it without delay. Raising Grain. One would think from the following that grain raising in the states had about come to an end because it can be raised on cheaper lands in the farther west. On the same principle why cannot the farmers of these same cheap lands raise also all the beef and butter needed by the nation at largo and thus leave the farmers east of the Missouri high and dry and with their occupation gone? Some of the writers for the papers have surely gone clean daft Is it not a curious condition of things when a Wisconsin farmer keeps skimming over several hundred acres of land in a large farm, that would sell for $50,00 per acre, raising wheat, rye corn, oats, etc, to sell in competition wiLh the grain raised on new cheap lands of the west, when he knows that all tho land of the farm he makes a cent of profit on, is that part it takes to feed the live stock he keeps? When ho counts everything, he sees that if ho did not have to pay taxes on the land he might as well open it to tho commons, as to keep skimming it, raising small grain in excess of what his animals consume. Wo aro bold to say that the only men who can afford to sell grain from their farms, are' thoso who occupy choap lands; those svhoare "hard up,11 and those who have not and cannot get the animals to consume their products. Wheat As a Food For Sheep, Dr. Voclcker makes public tho results at experiments carried out in feeding sheep for the Royal Agricultural society, at Woburn, for the third successive season. The object was to ascertain whether the use of cereals as additional food for Bheep feeding turnips off the land was profitable, one of the most important points being that of ascertaining whether wheat could be given safely and economicnlly. The result of tho whole series of experiments showing underground wheat, at tho rate of $ lbs. per day, is a perfectly safe food, and that at the prices of recent years, it pays better than any other grain. In one of the experiments, however, linseed and decorticated cotton-cake mixed proved superior to wheat. In some experiments with cattle a mixture of linseed-cake decorticated cotton-cake and a midze meal gave the best results. Tho experiments were made with English breeds of sheep, but we see no reason why tho results would not bo the same with tho Merinos. But wheat should never bo fed to excess. l'urui Notes. It is much bettor to plant a seasonable crop .than to plant what wo have planned to plant out of season. Every' farmer ought to pl:mt a small acreage of millet for tho variety it affords in tho wiutor feeding of stoclc. If your soil is a limestone one, the plowing should bo done in tho fall, when everything is favorable for plowing, as it leaves the soil upturned to the action of the weather. No occupation is more conducive to health and happiness than tilling tho soil. No ono is loss dependent on other producers, and no o:ie is surar of tho means of living, than tho farmer. On good soil, in a favorable season, one man can plow, plant and cultlvata fifty acres of corn, and d o i t well, but if kept out of the crop by rain until the weeds get a start, extra help should bo had to do the work at once when tho land dries off. Cleanliness is the best preventive of poultry diseases. Room? should b j frequently cleaned in tho summer and sprinkled occasionally with a disinfecta n t Put a quarter of a pound of sulphuric acid in a threa gallon pail of water and sprinkle the roosts, walls and floor. All the non-sitting breeds of hens lay whito eggs, and all of them can 11 y over a high fence. The Houdan is probably the largest, and the H a m b u r g the smallost. They are excellent layers, forage industriously, and lay more eggs than the sitters, but are' not quite as hardy in winter. Leghorns and Bramahs can not thrive together. Have your Hocks uniform. When you send to a brejde r for eggs of pure breed;, remember that in that caso "oggs aro not e g g s / ' It is tho stock you seek, not oggs particularly. You can get eggs at home, but not stock of tho kind you wish. Tho Rural World has as idea that for all tho diseases of domestic animals there is a cause, and that the surest and quickest road to a cure is in discovering and removing it. This is true with regard to all the creation, human and otherwse. It may be difficult to trace tho cause; but, be you sure that unless you do so, the remedy is much more problematical if not vastly moro dangerous. This matter of brooding horses is ono of dollars and cents. Tho farmers of America aro producors. If they breed right the market is supplied with what is wanted; is they'do not,then the stulT sent to market hardly realizes the cost of transportation. It is not our business what people shall want, or ho w that want is to be supplied. The people will have what they want, but will go without rather than have that which is unfashionable. Our business is to suply the demand. If that is for a four-year old that can go in from three to four minutes, there is no good reason why we should not supply it if we can, and get a giod profit on our produce.

PARSLKYED POTATOES.—Peel, quarter and wash as many potatoes as required, boil quickly in salted water until just tender, strain at once, and let them steam for a few seconds over the fire; add a liberal piece of butter, a nd lot it melt over the potatoes. Then strew over them some finely chopped parsley, cover, and taking tho handle with one hand and holding tho lid down with the other, shake the sauce-pan so that tho potatoes turn over a few times. Then dish at once. This is an excellent way of preparing old potatoes.

Stir until cold, and spread between layers. G O O D B U E A D . — T o a good ono ha If pint of milk and a good ono half pint of. hot water, a little buttor or lard, one teaspoonful of salt, and ono tablespoonful of sugar. Dissolve one half cake of compressed yeast ia one half cup of lukewarm water and add to the above. To this put thirty heaping tablespoonfuls of Hour, and stir and cut with a knife until the Hour is worked in. Let it rise six or eight hours, or until light. Then give a short but vigorous kneading and put into pans. Let it stand an hour or tliereabouts. Bake ono hour, FRENCH ROLLS. —One quart of flour sWtod with a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of sugar, two cups of milk, one-half cake of compressed yeast, two eggs, ono tablespoonful of buttor. Rub tho buttor into tho flour, add tho eggs beaten light, and tho milk. Add tho yeast cako dissolved in three t.iblespoonfuls of warm water. Knead well five minutes. Let it rise over nigh,t, and in the morning mould into ovul rolls. Place thoso in a pan just touching each other, and let rise again. Cut each across tho top w i t h a lUjjXo and bake. A PASTE T H A T W I L L K E E P . — D i s - solve a teaspoonful of alum in a q u a r t of water. When cold stir in as much flour as will give it tho consistency of thick cream. Carefully beat up all the lumps. Stir in half a teaspoonful of powdered rosin. Pour on tho mixture a teacup of boiling water, stirring it well. When it becomes thick pour in an earthen vessel. Cover and kocp in a cool place. When needed for use t i k e a portion and soften it with warm water. It will last at least a year.* If you wish it to have a pleasant odor stir in a few drops of oil of wintergreen or cloves. H o w T o COOK B E F F S T E A K . — Heat the frying pan quite hot. In this put the steak, previously pounded. No butter, no grease, remember, nor salt Allow the steak to merely glaze over; then turn it quick-ly over, turning it several times until it is done. Do not cook it over three or four minutes. When it is done lay it on a warm platter, butter and salt it, and you will find it delicious and juicy. Allowing tho steak to heat but a m o m e n t on each side sears it over and retains all its sweet juices, and salting it at the last moment whilo on the platter draws out its juices. A True Story in Rhyms. "Where is tho baby, crandina/" The swoct young mother culls From her work in tho cozy kitchoD, With its dainty whitewashed walls. And grandma leaves her knitting And looks for her all around; Hut not ii trace of a baby dear (Jan anywhere be found. No sound of its merry prattle, No gleam of its sunny huir, No patter of tiny footsteps, No sign of it anywhere, All through the house and garden, Far out into the held, They search every nook and corner, But nothing is revealed. And the mother's faco grew pallid; Grandmamma's eyes grew dim; Tho father's gone to the village, No use to look for him. And the baby's lost! "Where's Rover?" And the mother chanced to think Of the old well in tha orchard Whcro the cattle used to drink. Where's Rover* I know ho'd find her," "Rover!" In vain they call, Then hurry away to the orchard, And there, by the moss-grown wall, Ckse to tho wall l^s Rover, Holding to a baby's dress, Who was leaning over the well'9 edge In perfect fearlessness. She »$retch?d her tiny arms down, But Rover held her fast, And never seemed to mind the kick3 The tinv baro feet cast So spitefully upon him, But wagged nis tail instead, To greet the frightened searcher^ While naughty baby said: "Dere's a little dirl in the water; She's dust as big as me; Mamma, I want to help her out And take her homo t.> tea, But Rover, ho won't let me, And I don't lovo him.

The or or decorative, rocket is the!' see used on the Fourth of J i the composition of which it comprises 122 parts of mealed or finely pulverised powder, 80 of niter, 40 of sulphur, and 50 of cast-iron filings. The main part of tho rocket is a case, made by rolling stout paper, covered on one sido with p.tste.around a wooden form, at tho same time plying considerable pressure, end is then "choke(V' or tightly together, with twine. The paper caso thus made is placed in a copper mold, so t h a t a conical copper spindle will pa3H up through tho choke, and tho composition is then poured in and packed by blows of a mallet on a copper drift or packing- tool made to fit over the spindle. The top of the case is now clos3d with a layer of moist plastor-of-paris one inch thick, perforated with a small hole for tho passage of tho flame to the upper part, or "pot." T h e pot is formed of another paper cylinder slipped ovor and pasted to the top of tho case and surmounted by a paper cone filled with tow.

A frisky bolt climbed into his home through his c h a m b e r window, skipped down the back stairs with an caso born apparently of familiarity with the premises, tore off four slabs of plaster from tho kitchen wall, lifted a door off its hinges and laid it carefully on the floor, removed six covers from tho range, opened the pantry-door and set the picplatos whirling, and then whisked out to tho pigpen. There were four persons in t h e house, and not ono suspected that electricity had dropped in for a social call until Josiah visited the kitchen. A few minutes later he went to the pigpen. His 300-pound Chester county pig lay on its back, its legs uplifted and quivering; but the pig, like the N e w York car-driver, was not to be knocked out by 1,000 volts of crude lightning, and soon it got up and gazed at J o s i a h reproachfully. The bolt t h a t the pig had successfully withstood knocked the pig-pen into splinters. Mr. Buell h a s very little confidence in electricity as an ugent of capitil punishment.

T h e entire business portion of Spokane Fails, Washington Territory, with the exception of one mill, was detroyed by tire on t h e night of Aug. 4. The loss will reach t7,0W,«m The fire started in a lodging ktoise on Railway avenue. A large uumber of frame buildings and several grain elevators were near the lodging house, aud soon after the iiro broke out they were ablaze. A strong wind was blowing toward the city at the time, and the blaze was soon beyond the control of the flromen. The names leaped from street to street, and nothing could be done b u t let the flames have their own way until they reached the rivor and then endeavor to prevent the fire from reaching the buildings on the opposite side. T h e flames swept through the city and one business block after another was consumed, everything being burned to tbe water's edge. ': Tbe five department was stationed on the Jttber side of the stream and prevented Hying timbers from setting tire to the building there. Only a fow dwellings were destroyed us the residence portion of the city was not visited by the tire. The burnt district includes all that part of the city from the Northern Pacine railway to tho river and from Lincoln to Washington streets. Several persons are known to have perished and several" more were injured by leaping from windows. Charles Davis of Chicago, a guest at the Arlington house, w a s awukened by flames breaking through the door ot his room on the third lioor.

The flre spread with such astonishing rapidity that it is believed that many were cut off before they wore aware of their danger. A dozen large buildings were blown up with giant powder, by order of the mayor, but oven this proved futile. The Northern 1 u^ihe railroad is probably the heaviest loser, the ma^nilicent'new freight warehouse being destroyed. Their loss, including freight burned, will reach about $1,000,000.

Marsh opened the door and three packnges were stolen, but the Pacific Express company says but very little was secured. The robbers then went to the mail car and compelled Route Agent Wolcott to open his car. He had hidden all his regislercd matter but one letter under a sack and turned the lights out.

William Dalquist is the name of a lucky Finlander who at present is a day laborer in II. A. Gray's saw mill at the West End. The fact is, William, who has been in this country some six years or more and who has been a hard worker all his life, is one of the lucky persons who drew'a "plum," at tho drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery held on Juno IS last, ho holding onefourth of ticket "ol.bOV which drew the capital prize of SWXl.OOO. When Mr. Dalquist Was made awaro of his good fortune by a statement in tho Tribune that that number was the lucky one, he was over- Joyed beyond measure and was the recipi ent of many congratulations from his numerous friends and at the same time not a few were envious of his good fortune. Mr. W. A. Footo immediately offered Dabjuist $14,SOU for his little slip of paper, but William thought he would do his own cashing and thus save the $200, which he has done. As soon as he can make arrangements he will at oneo proceed to Finland, where his father and mother, who are poor people, live. The $15,000, Mr. Dalquist says, will bo moro than enough to keep his parents, himself and one of Findland's fairest daughters (which lattor was said with a slight distortion of his facial m u s c l e s tending to a smile) for tho rest of their days.

EDITOR UNO PROPRIETOR Pinckney, Michigan, Tnuruaay, Augubt l"th, 1889. Washington Letter. "WASHINGTON, AUGUST 13, 1889. The census of 1870 was taken by the United States marshals under the direction of a superintendent, who worked under the Secretary of the Interior. As the marshals were employees of the department of Justice, the confusion was very great. The act of 1879, which governed the census taking of 1880, and will with a few modifications apply to that of 1890 was properly the work of James A. Garfield, Representative Uox, General .Francis A. Walker and Eugene Hald. It provides for the centering of the work at Washington and the enumerations by persons who are solely appointed, except the supervisors, by the superintendent of the census. The house to bouse count will commence on the first .Monday of next June, and will involve inquiries as to age, sex, nativity, race physical condition, and a dozen other things. Forty thousand enumerations will be in the 175 census districts and for each of •these districts the President will in February appoint a supervisor, who will receive $125 per month and in addition thereto $1.00 for every $l$00of the population in thickly settled districts and $1.40 in others; The enumerations will be paid two cents for each farm and thirty cents for each factory recorded, and for every veteran of the late war five cents, In addition to these out door employees there are many special.agencies which are very cozy places for the friends and statesmen, involving little labor and no expenditure of ideas, the duties being merely to go to manufacturing es- • tablishments in cities and ask pointed questions and put down the answer. The amount of information obtained and .the numbor of subjects treated in our census are amazing. Every field is covered. Great Britian sends a policeman around in the evening to each house with a printed slip asking information and in the morning he carries it away, and* the thing is done. Uut in this country census taking is invoicing everything on hand. The work of the Tenth Census was embraced in twenty-two volumes, and some of those were not issued until 1887. The work bid fair to last forever. There was even a volume devoted to forest trees, and two volumes of long winded essays on social subjects. It was a dumping place for waste information. The new census will attempt to be less ambitious, though the projectors of the census of 1880 made the same promise I saw in the corridor of superintendent Porter's offices on Saturday the veritable original census office clerk, at least he w»s so considered when the census of 1870 was made, and I would not be surprised to learn that specimens of his youthful penmanship are to be found in the musty records of the census of 1790, still preserved in the Interior department. In 1870 he was held in office by Henry Wilson, and in 1880 by Senator Hoar. He was promptly discharged at about the first general reductions of clerks after the taking of each census, and wis never seen until the next one was announced. On Saturday he seemed as chipper as ever, asked me for some chewing tobanco and was surprised to learn that I did not use the stuff, informed me mysteriously that he'"had Porter down tine," "borrow" ten cents, aud drifted away, poor old wr2ck. When the man who wants to know goes to the Weather Bureau to find out, and succeeds in interrupting the interminable fight that is in progress between the Army officers and the civil alleged experts of that office long enough to get an interview, he finds that he has had his labor for his pains. The other day I asked one of Pro Cleveland's able assistants fp^liis theory as to the causes of^tffe heavy rains since April 1. J>fwill give you the figures," he^acofully replied, and his face gp*wserious "of course, the occas>efl for every phenomenal prewpitation is not certainly known, yet 1 may say in general of this case at a i least, that these recent precipitations of rain have been dne to the fact that the conditions for such rainfalls bave been astonishingly favorable." And then the poor blunderer who is paid 12,500 for befogging himself and losing himself up in thoroughfares of words, beamed upon me in delighted surprise at his own wisdom. So, in other words, regardless of expense, the Signal Service announces that it has rained more than usual because it has been easier for it tu fall than it was, say, last year. You can procure all the figures you want at the Signal office rainfall, temperature, barometer readings,—anything but theories for forecasting the weather or avading calamaties from storma. The Signal Service may be of some practical value if it is ever taken out of the control of the Army. It goes without saying that the Army is a necessary evil and whatever can be taken from its charge and put on sound business basis had better be taken at once. . ^ 4 Heart Disease.

J O S E P H W. PLUMMKR, j (3Qw7.) E t t c u l o r - Pelting t h e RhlnoOero*. There has been of lata a want of cordiality in the pleasant relations be tween the elephants at the Zoo And their next door neighbor, the somnolent rhinoceros says the Philadelphia Times. The trouble first arose at the time when the male elephant lay sick of rheumatism, a complaint to which he ultimately succumbed. He complained that he could not rest at night on account of the snoring of the rhin- *> oceros. This ill-mannered brute met the oivil remonstrances of the ladies of the elephant's household with the base insinuation that their lord and master was only shamming sickness to excite sympathy among the visitors. The rhinoceros hungered for the buns and bananas that by flattening his ugly snout against the bars of his cage and swinging his evil right eye into the extreme corner of its socket he could see timorously handed to the sick elephaut, so he continued to snort by day and snort by night, till his big neighbor's life became simply unbearable, and one calm nivonlight night he carefully packed up hiB trunk, shouldered it, and departed for the happy hunting grounds. All the animals in the garden, except the rhinoceros, sent messages of respectful sympathy by the rats which roam freely all over the place to the mourning wives of the deceased mammoth. The boorish pachyderm publicity rejoiued over his neighbor's death. His unnatural gayety took the form of distressing diurnal grunts and ferocious nocturnal snorts. The widowed elephants registered an oath that on the tirst opportunity they would make their ugly neighbor pay dearly for his unnatural behavior. Ever since they have presumably been casting about to discover a means of revenge. A day or two ago they found it. There is a thick partition wall some ten feet high separating the den of the rhinoceros from that of the two elephants. Early in the morning, while the rhinoceros lay fast asleep and snoring in the middle of the floor, Empress and her mate cautiously raised themselves on their hind legs and with their nimble trunks deftly loosened the top rows of bricks. They worked away utit.il they had removed eight rows, and, as the wall is more than a foot thick and by a little exertion they could now see over it. they concluded is w:is about time to begin the fun.

CHARLES FISHBECK. (A traecor>y.) Judge of Probate*• THE STAT£. A Free Man. Four years ago Charles Rynd of Adrian, son of the well-known Dr. Rynd, w a s charged with stealing a letter from the United States mail. Kynd was arrested and convicted of the charge upon an information filed by Mr. Cutcheon, who was at that time district-attorney. H e was sentenced to three years in the Detroit house of correction. Rynd was scarcely 21 years old at the time and had shortly before this unfortunate occurrence married a most estimable young lady of Adrian. He was taken to the Detroit house of correction, where he served nearly one year. Then he applied to the court for his discharge on the ground that he was entitled to an indictment by a grand jury before ho could be tried, according to a recent ruling of the United States supreme court. District Attorney Black was the incumbent at that time. Kynd's case was argued before Judge Brown who held that the point was well taken and thereupon discharged Rynd. District-Attorney Black thereupon re arrested Kynd and had him indicted in accordance with the ruling of the supreme court. B u t instead of trying him ou the indictment, the District-Attorney released Rynd ou condition that he would give a bond to appear and receive sentence when requested to do so. The bond was furnished and Rynd was released. The District- Attorney pursued this course in order to deter United Statos prisoners in the house of correction from making application for their discharge upon similar grounds. Sentence has been suspended over ltynd's head for three years past, in the meantime his career was closely watched. It was found that he had thoroughly reformed and had become a most exemplary citizen, and he has been given his absolute freedom. The State K. of L. At the annual meeting of the state assembly K. of L., held in Detroit, the following officers were eleeted: State master workman, Henry I. Allen, Schoolcraft; worthy foreman, E.

Croley, Cadillac; H. F . Baker, Clayton; James O'Grady, Saginaw; delegate to the G. A., E. Van Winkle; alternate, James Morrow, Adrian. A resolution protesting against the recent purchases by British capital and demanding America for Americans was adopted. The eight-hour law and T. V. Powderly were indorsed. Some minor matters were considered. Recording and Financial Secretary Sheriff read his report. It was exhaustive, carefully compiled and covered the ground thoroughly. That his work has been satisfactory to the state assembly is shown by the fuet that he was re-elected. The report showed that seveu new assemblies have been formed. Eleven assemblies had ceased work. The membership had increased ten per cent during the past two quarters, but-previous to that there had been a falling off. There have been four halls erected and dedicated by the order in the state; five cooperative associations formed, mostly creameries. The only lock out was the coopers at Hillsdale, which is continued from last year. There are TO assemblies in the state, running and in good standing. Richard Trevellick made a very eloquent closing address, and Henry L. Allen a very practical inaugural address. Monthly Crop Report. For the Michigan crop report for August, returns have been received from,.<£*» correspondents, representing 070 townships. The average yield of wheat pjer acre as estimated is i:t.>l bushels in' the southern counties, l'.\70 in ths central and 14.:52 in the northern counties. These figures represent the average of the estimates of all correspondents reporting lrom each section^ and are mainly based on examinations made when harvesting and stacking. In addition to the above, 2^2 correspond cnts in the southern counties and 1¾ in the central have furnished reports of V.iy jobs of actual threshing which showed an average of 17 bushels to the acre in the southern and 113 bushels in the central counties. This average here per acre as obtained from threshings represents an output of only a limited number of jobs, however, while correspondents have reported what they believed to 1)0 a fan* average for the whole of their respective localities. The reports as to quality indicate that the output of merchantable wheat wiil be much below threshers' measure. Oats are estimated to yield 3'> bushels per acre in the southern, ;>7 in the central aud •'•!() in the northern counties. The condition of corn is lower than for a number of years, doubtless owing to the told nights, Potatoes indicate '.'> per cent, of an average condition.

BY MAHGABET E. SANGSTEK. % <•• v ; You ask me for the sweetest sound mine ears have ever heard jf A sweeter than the ripples' splash, or trilling of a bird, Than tapping of .the rain drops upon the roof tit night, Than the Bigfaing of the pine trues on yonder mountain night; And I tett Jou, these uro tender, yet never quite so sweot. As the murmur and the cadence of the wind across the wheat Have you watched the golden billows in a sunlit sea of grain. Ere yet the reaper bound the Bheaves, to till the creaking wain? Have you thought how snow and tempest, and the bitter wintry cold, Were but the guardian angels, the next year's bread to hold, precious thing, unharmed by the turmoil of the sky, Just waiting, growing silently, until the storms went by! Oh! have you lifted up your heart, to him who loves us all, And listens through the angel songs, if but u spurrow fall, And then, thus thinking of His band, what symphony so sweet As the music in the long refrain, the wind across the wheat? It bath its dulcet echoes, from many a lullaby, Where the cradled babe is hushed beneath the mother's loving eye. It hath its heaven's promise, as sure ',ca heaven's throne. That He who sent the manna will ever feed His own; And, though an atom only, 'mid the countless hosts who share The Maker's never ceasing watch, the Father's deathless care. That atom is as dear to Him as my dear child to me; He cannot lose me from my place through all eternity; You wonder, wheu it sings me this, there's nothing half so sweet, Beneath the circling planets as the wind across the wheatf A BRIEF SORROW, CHAPTER V. > : f ., HREE weeks later came Sir Nestor IS Goldeney's Christmas ball—on which occasion Captain Tregelles, with his left arm in a sling, was the hero of the evening. The Captain was tall, with a lithe active figure like Tom's, but a decided Berkely face, fair, with g r a y eyes and r a t h e r large features and a yellow moustache—a great deal more like his uncle Berkeley than either of that uncle's two sons—a gay. good looking soldierly fellow, with none of his sister's gentle rosorve about him, but a certain hardihodd almost amounting J to recklessness, which would be sure to commend itself to romantic girls and hot-hoadod ardent boys like Tom. Ho was Tom's hero; and no devotee ever worshipped more devoutly than did Tom at tho shrine of hi9 cousin Waring. Captain Tregelles did not dance—he was not fit for t h a t yet; but tho prottiest and the best-dressed girls seemed quite willing to sit out a dance with him in a quiet corner instead of showing otl their new toilettes amid tho whirl of the dancers. Miss Derwent sat out a dance with tho wounded soldier, Tom having introduced his cousin to her; and after t h a t it was Tom's turn to claim her. It was getting towards supper-time, and Sir Nestor Goldenoy ha'd not yet come to inscribe his name on her card, She could not consider it a slight, inasmuch as ho had everyono to ask and ho could not danco with more than one at a time; but still, he might have come to her before now if he had chosen. Ho had opened the ball with Mary Tregelles, and Tom h a d told Nina that, "if the parson had been there, he'd have wanted to punch his head.1' In spite of the artistic effect of her most careful toilol, her smiling lips, and the wickod look in her b r i g h t eyes, which had proved so alluring in some cases—in spite of these and the lovely silken dress that eclipsed all t h e others in the room—Miss Derwent was not proving a great attraction at tho chief event of the 9eason. Tom was devoted, of course, and his cousin, the captain, was very gallant, and tho boys and young men stared at h e r and her beautiful strange dress; but they seemed to hang back, and )tpd not Tom introduced Captain Trelles at a most opportune moment, p h e would havo had to play "walll o w e r ' ' through a long and dreamy valse, even Tom being engaged for it, as she had told him at the commencement of tho evening that she did not suppose she would bo able to dance with him more than twice, if as d>ften as that. Sho had been spared the agony of sitting out the valso alono, and sho was very gracious to Tom as 9he stood up with him for a polkamazurka, Agnes was not at tho ball. She had n included in tho invitation, and .captain had pleaded hard for his wptetty cousin; but in vain—her stepmother, who set high valno on her good looks and had ambitious plans for her future—though sho did not allow hor to guess at any of this—did no!, consider tMat her time was come yet, and hinted that if small gatherings and little dances such as sho had allowed hor to appoar at rendered hor discontented, sho must stay in the school-room altogether, which had a marvellously quieting effect upon tho stroam of Agnos's eloquence. "Well, what do you think of W a r - ing?" said Tom to Nina. . " O h , I * like him very much," she returned. " H e is so—so unlike t h e s e countrymen"—pointing and looking about her disdainfully—"more like the men I have alwayB been used to meeting, in foot." "Do you include mo under the head of 'these countrymen?1 '' inquired the boy, half reproachfully. '•You? Of course not. You stand alone—you are unique!"—laughingly. " H a v n ' t I told you more than once, Tom, that you aro not like anybody else that 1 ever s a w ? " But he looked grave in spite of her gay assurances, until they h a d taken a few turns together, when she Baid— "Oh, Tom dear, how nicely you dance! I t is a treat, after some of them!" " I t was you who taught m e , " he answered, flushing to the temples with pleasure. " I didn't teach you this I am s u r e . " " P e r h a p s not; but you t a u g h t mo a great deal about dancing and other things too; you gave me many new ideas; and, if I am at all different from 'these countrymen,' as you call them, it is all owing to you, rememb e r . " "You silly boy!" she said, s h a k i n g her head at him in arch reproach. "How you do remember things!" " I cannot forget anything t h a t you say," he returned. "Well, you must forget t h a t unfortunate r e m a r k of mine, sinco it contained nothing intended for you and yours. Why, you are all out of the common—any one can see that—and t h a t lovely sister of yours will make a professional beauty some day." " I hope not," declared Tom. "Ah, you don't understand!"— wisely. "You are always telling me that; but,"—with a fond glance at the little head that scarcely reached his should e r — " I understand all I want—at present." "At any time— You aro best as you are—I wouldn't have you altered." "You'll make mo vain,1/ he returned in very good spirits again. " N o fear of t h a t , " smiling up into his delicate yet strongly marked face. There was something in Tom's face that seemed to appeal to every one; ,the harsh words that his conduct had merited died on tho lips at a glance from his eyes; it was only in his absenco that most people could find it in their hearts to express their real opinion of him. "Dance tho next with m e , " ho urged, when tho polka-mazurka was over, "if you are not engaged for it." " I am not engaged to dance," sho replied r a t h e r hesitatingly; " b u t Captain Tregelles " "Why, it's a valse!" lie broke in. " I t would be a shame to sit out another valse! Tell him you'll sit out " I thought you expected h e r , " he exclaimed "She said " "No, no, Tom," interposed Miss Derwent, with smiling impatience and a Blightly clouded b r o w — " y o u are making a mistake! I said t h a t the next with him instead.' "But I—I didn't quite promise "Oh, well, then, ho won't oxpect it when he finds it's a valse! He has got mother with him still," looking round. "Oh, of course, I don't mean t h a t that's the same thing at all,'1 responding in a moment to tho smile that parted hor lips; "but he won't be lonely, at all events. Come.'1 But still she hesitated. " I was going to ask you to dance it with Phyllis or Betty," sho said. ••You have been thero so much lately " "Since you have been there." "And it would look well for you to pay them a little attention. They don't get many partners, poor things!" " ^ t h o u g h t of that before, and I havo danced with Betty and been refused by Louisa. If you valso with mo now, I will go to Phyllis next, and ask the other two over again as well." "Why, Tom, how thoughtful you are growing! —in smiling surprise. "I've such a good teacher! Well, shall I go and toll Waring that you are going to dance this with me, and will sit out the quadrillo with him afterwards instead?" "Oh, no—thoro's no occasion for t h a t , " putting a detaining hand upon his sleeve. " H o will understand when he sees us; besides, 1 told you I didn't promise; and, since you so much wish it " She waited a moment; but Tom did not yield on this occasion, thinking it probably the last danco he should have with his beloved that night; and so they waltzed to tho strains of tho "Manolo" for the following ten minutes, stopping at last just opposite Captain Trogelles and M r s , Berkeley. "Here, W a r i n g , " said Tom abruptly, " I hope you did not mind; it was I who kept Miss Derwent away from you to dance with me, because it seemed such a pity to miss another valso; but she's going to sit out the next with you n o w . " "Oh, t h a n k you!" replied Captain Trogelles seoming rather surprised. " I t is really very kind of you,,-Miss Derwent, but I must not trospais thus upon your good n a t u r e . " / ' Tom stared in amazomjeht. " I t 1B very good of you not to have forgotten," interrupted Captain Tregelles quietly after a quick glance at her. Nina sat down, Mrs. Berkely maintaining h e r position on her nephew's other hand, whence she had been a Bilent observer of tho little scene. When the dance was over. Sir Nestor Goldeney at last made his appearance before Mi:-8 Derwent, and asked the favor of her hand for the next dance. Mrs. Berkeley waited until Nina had gone away with the Baronet, and then turned to her step-nephew and said solemnly— " W a r i n g , t h a t girl—no, t h a t woman— is ruining Tom! I d a r e n ' t think of what is to become of him after this. Now I warn you against her—as I would have warned him, if it would have been of the slightest use." "My dear a u n t , " protested the Captain laughingly, " I assure you t h e r e is no occasion to look so grave. I am not in danger." "Very well, I hope you a r e not—at any rate, I have warned you. Tom is a different c r e a t u r e since he met her." "And a very much pleasanter and more companionable creature!" declared Waring, " H e is so altered t h a t I should not have known him. If it is she who has worked t h e change in him there ought not to be any harm in her." Why shouldn't he m a r r y her in two or t h r e e years? and t h e n she could continue the taming process under happier auspices." "Marry her! Don't you ever suggest such a thing to him, W a r i n g — though I dare say he has thought of it himself before now. If she were a dove instead of a serpent, look at their ages—he eighteen, she, I have always declared and firmly believe, thirty, if she*s a day.', "Oh, not so much as that!"—depreciatingly, with all a young and naturally gallant man's tenderness in dealing with the delicate subject of a woman,s age—he had only seen Miss Derwent by gaslight as yet. " T h i r t y , if she's a day!" declared Mrs. Berkeley, bearing down opposition imperatively. "And, if Tom were ten years younger, it would not be any better for Tom. W a r i n g she's been after every marriageable man in the place, and falls back upon Tom because he's the only one who will have anything to do with her—she has frightened away all the rest with her boldness. Poor Mrs. Stephenson is at h e r wit's-end to get rid of her; and I am sure I pity hor, poor thing! Not that I havo been very intimate with her, or have allowed Agnes to go there often—her girls aro not the companions I should choose for mine; but when one sees a neighbor in such a lix, and her visitor doing her best to get Mr. Rowland away from Louisa and making herself the talk of tho placo, one cannot but pity her. She foared being left out of this"—glancing about h e r — " o n her account, and then she would have been simply nowhere!" " W h y , what has our little host of tho guinea-colored face to do with the behavior of Mrs. Stephenson's guest?" inquired Captain Tregelles, in a tone of incredulous amusement. "Nothing—except that sho h a s run after him so that he has not known where to put himself to got out of her reach. And the Vicar—even he has not been spared." " W h y , ho spoke to me about Mary last night," opposed the Captain, laughing comfortably. "Oh, ho did, did he?"—and Mrs. Berkeley looked very pleased and important. "Said he had only been waiting until my return. Surely ho has not been led astray by this little witch whose power you seem to fear so m u c h ? " "Of course not! But sho endeavored to attract him, though in vain. Mr. Freke never had eyes for any woman until Mary came, and it was not at all likely that ho would be attracted by that forward creature!" "Why, aunt, you a r e very h a r d upon her!" remonstrated Captain Tregelles, still laughingly, but seeking with no unkind glance the fairy-liko form now whirling round on the little Baronet's clasp. "You see," continued Mrs'. Berkeley, " I k n o v something of her—all that sho will allow to be known of herself, and possibly a little more. She was a governess at Louisa Stephenson's school, and was sent away for trying to get up an affair first with one master and then with another—so Louisa now says; she never told anyone at the time, not even h e r mother lest she should object to having her h e r e t o stay; for she thought a great deal of her then, not having a lover of her own to be enticed away. Miss Derwent went to her aunt's on leaving —her only relative, it seems, married recently to a very shady man on the Stock Exchange—and from her talk, and tho letters sho wrote to Lousia after leaving tho school, they seem to havo gono out a great deal in such society as they could command; but, if the object was to find her a husband, they did not succeed, and it is now supposed h e r e t h a t the aunt found h e r a burden, and t h a t she came to try ner chance in t h e country." "So Louisa—is t h a t Mrs. Stephenson's engaged daughter?—has turned informer, h a s she? commented the young man, considerably amused. "She h a s reason to do so," answered Mrs. Berkely weightily. "And— yes there goes Mr. Rowland to ask Miss Derwent to dance!" " H e of the d a r k hair and whiskers? Why he has hardly left the side of that young lady with the gracefullydrooping head—who I presume is Miss Louisa—whose mamma keeps such a watchful eye upon them both, ever since he came. He deserves a holiday." "Mrs. Stephenson has to be careful," replied Mrs. Berkeley, not noticing her nephew's flippancy. " I t required a good deal of management to get Louisa disposed of at all," placidly, " a n d now to have it all spoilt must be very vexing." " I t must," agreed tho Captain, regarding the mother and daughter with interest. " I should imagine myself that the fair Louisa would prove heavy on h a n d . " "Oh, nobody knew that better than her mother. But she managed things cleverly, until this visitor of hers came and proved herself more than a match for her. Miss Turtell told Mrs. Carleton that Mrs. Stephenson was in real trouble about it." The next dance was the supperdance, and, from the point of vantage which Mrs. Berkeley secured near the top of one of the long tables, she saw Captain Tregelles enter presently with Miss Derwent and sit down; and after them pressed Tom, happy and eager looking, with a faint Hush upon his face. Betty Stephenson was with h i m ; he sat between her and Nina, and all his devotion to the latter did not lead him to forget to pay kind and careful attention to the wants of his partner. The Captain and Nina talked so much to one another during supper that Tom could hardly get a word in though, when he had taken pains to get a seat next to her, he t h o u g h t it would be nearly as good as though he had taken her in to supper. Mrs. Berkeley left the table before they did, and the last glance she directed towards them as she went out at the curtained doorway revealed Captain Tregelles' fair head and yellow moustache dangerously close to Miss Derwent, who was looking up into his face with a most bewitching smile, disclosing her pretty teeth as she chatted to him, while Tom waited as patiently as he might for his turn for a word or glance from her. Mrs. Berkeley gave up hope and went and sat down dejectedly in a corner. TO BE CONTINUED. Smoking by Proxy. Ira T r i p p , a retired coal operator ol Soranton, is one of the few men on record who enjoys the luxury of smoking by proxy. Twenty y e a r s a g o his physician told him that smoking wa? prejudicial to his health, and t h a t he must stop the practice. Although he was a confirmed smoker, he obeyed tho doctor's injunction. Since then he has never smoked -a cigar. At the same timo he has not totally denied himself his chief luxury. To indulge it without disobeying the doctor's injunction he employes what might be called his "smoking valet." It is the duty of this man to smoke a Havana cigar whenever Mr. Tripp feels like indulging in a little tobacco dissipation ahd blow the smoke in his employer's face. The latter eagerly inhales tho fragrant cloud and then exhales it t h r o u g h his nostrils and blow& it down through the meshes of his long white beard. Mr. Tripp declares that he enjoys this second-handed smoke as keenly as when he did the puffing himself. He often comes to Philadelphia and never travels without his smoking companion.—Philadelphia Press. Postal Reform. Of* this you see tho consequences the country over.

What to do in case of emergency ia an important subject and information on it should be either committed t o memory or else so placed as to be easily available in-time of need, says a letter in the New York News. Burns of the eye by calcium or lime are not very common, yet it is useful to know how to treat them. In t h e event of lime g e t t i n g into the eye or around the front of the eyelids it is well to remember, until the arrival of medical attendance, that in no case must water be used. Washing with vinegar will neutralize the caustic properties of the Jime, and any fractional bits may afterward bo removed by the use of a feather or camel'* h a i r brush lightly applied, or if noither is at hand, by linen folded to a point. Acute inflammation of tho eye must be looked for after such an Occident. Even with immediate medical aid the eye may be much damaged, but without it the organ may be sacrificed. I would like to call attention to a remedy which possesses such wonderful therapeutic powers in the cure of almost all known wounds t h a t it deserves a place in every household. I t is called iodoform and comes in the form of powder. It has no equal in the cure of chronic sores or ulcers, as well as cuts and wounds of all kinds. Its value as a remedy has been somewhat impeded by its odor, which is the only objectionable feature about it, but for the sake of a speedy cure this can be tolerated. It is used in all hospitals throughout the world and recommended by the medical profession in every land. It is an ingredient of all ulcer ointments nowadays. It is best used in conjunction with some vehicle, such as vaseline in the proportion of one drachm of iodoform to one and a half ounces of vaseline. It is well to h a v e it carefuHy and prominently marked "Poison, for external use only. Use it by spreading upon lint and bandage it to the wound twice a day. When removing, and before applying a fresh bannage, wash the wound "thoroughly with warm water and soap. As we are often placed in positionsrequiring assistance and perhaps thrown upon bur own resources the following may be impressed upon tho memory to advantage: If scalded plunge the part in water. This relieves pain instantly and gives time for thought and composure. Ah insect in the ear may be drowned out witb. tepid water o r killed by a few drops of sweet oil. If anything hard gets into the e a r double a stout horse-hair, place the head on one side, and drop tho loup into the ear, move it about until it catches the object, and then draw it out. In cases of poisonous bite suck the wound instantly, unless the mouth is sore. If the throat burns after swallowing/ a poison drink sweet oil. If you a r e falling asleep from a poison drink half a glass of water into which h a s .been stirred a teaspoonful each of salt and common table mustard, and after vomiting, drink the strongest coffee and keep in motiqn until perfectly awake. After any poison swallow one or two raw eggs. If smoke is suffocating you fall on the floor and crawl on your hands and knees. In cases of insensibility in which there is loud snoring the person is seized with apoplexy. Raise the head, remove pressure from t h e neck. If the face is pale, and thebreathing very low, it is a case of fainting. Place the body perfectly level and lower the head. Tho patient will promptly revive. Nothing else is necessary. Always remember that if you have health don't meddle with it. Avoid doctoring and drugs until a real necessity for their use arises. Prosperity Brings Its Woes. Tho Widow Starveley—I can't see Mr. Houlihan, why you can't wait a couple of days for my rent. The papers say you sympathize with tho poor in Ireland. Houlihan—Huh! Do yez suppose that the people of this great, proshperous counthry are to be treated on the same basis as tho down-trodden Oirish?—Life. Ice Water Shortens Lifa. W a t e r for drinking purposes should never be below fifty degrees. We canalmost always get it even in the hottest weather as cool as this by letting it run a minute or two from any household faucet, or drawing it from any country well. If not, there is -no objection to cooling it to the point mentioned. The East India "monkey'* which can now be had almost anywhere in this country, and by means of which the contained water is cooled by its own evaporation, answers tho purpose admirably.

The News is pleased to b.e able to note the re-election of "Jeff." as he has made a good Secretary and a faithful and hard-working officer.—Shepherd News. We wish every reader of the DISPATCH would peruse the following, which we glean from the South Lyon Picket, as we agree with the writer; Those of our readers who do not carefully consult the advertising columns of the Picket and then patronize the firms that advertise, do themselves a great injustice. We take particular pains to represent only responsible firms in our columns and no snide or catch penny affair can creep in. Merchants that adyertise generally want to sell their goods and take legitimate means to let the public know it. It is also a fact beyond dispute that the merchant who advertises seldom has stale or shop-worn goods but is always offering something new to his customera and is the one who eventually succeeds in business. Therefore patronize the men that advertise. You will find it to your advantage every time. Neighborhood News. PLA1NFIELD. From Oar Correspondent. Will N.

PDJCKNEY MICHIGAN Eminent electricians throughout tha tountry a r e strongly opposed to having their science associated with capital punishment. At the convention lately held a t Niagara Falls addresses were delivered in which the proposed , employment of electricity in New York for inflicting the death penalty on several murderers now under sentence was roundly condemned. One of the speakers maintained that no one can tell how much electricity is fatal in a given case, and said that the attempt to put a man to death by electricity would be cruel. A prominent New York electrician declared that killing by electricity, instead of furnishing a painless entrance into the great hereafter, was a most dreadful punishment. The convention appointed a committee to wait upon Gov. Hill and endeavor to obtain from him a reprieve of lhe prisoners under condemnation until the legislature has time to repeal the law making electricity the death's agent. The difference of opinion among scientific men in this matter, and the popular sentiment that has been aroused by the press in opposition to the use of electricity in inflicting the death penalty, may result in prolonging the life of the condemned men, and in inducing the legislature to return to the gallows as the agent of death. Such a result would doubtless termina'e for an indefinite time efforts to substitute electricity for the rope. Jeff. Davis loves notoriety and is forever seeking it. His latest effort in this direction is to bring suit against the publishers of " T h e Ki-o and Fall of the Southern Confederacy,'1 which from a financial standpoint has been a complete failure. At the time of its publication some years ago, it was expected that the work would be valuable by presenting the history of the "lost cause11 rationally from a southern point of view. This expectation, however, has been sadly disappointed, and as a consequence t h e history has fallen fiat and been a drug on the market. A respectful, honest presentation of the merits of the war from confederate soldiers or ex-presidents would be given a fair and full hearing by the whole country*, both north and south. But Jefferson Davis" book has commended itself to nobody as a historical chronicle, owing to its intense sectional spirit, its impenitent ' and virulent character, its rancor and fury, which distort truth and justice. For t h a t reason the book has been a dismal failure, and if road at all, will be a clear rejection of the hot-headed, vindictive old man whose leadership brought ruin and disgrace. m Washington officials are not at all solicitous regarding the Behring Sea imbroglio, which has- caused such a commotion in Canada and the mother country. All who talk on the subject express full confidence in the ability of the government to maintain the position it has 1 alien, and also state that it is the purpose of tho administration to follow strictly the letter and spirit of the act of congress forbidding the invasion of the waters of Alaska by unauthorised seal hunters. So far as Canadian bluster is concerned, it has no terror for United States authorities. In the meantime Canadian officials are fuming and fretting and waiting for instructions from the imperial government. There is but one thing for England to do In tho matter, and that is to acquisce in the terms proposed by Uncle Sam, for Russia has a tender place in her heart for her old possessions, and if England seeks to coerce the United States, Russia will have a word to say in tho matter. A short time since the hearts of Boston spinsters were stirred into a flutter by an announcement that Tacoraa contained a large number of marriageable bachelors anxious to wed. The feminine plurality of Boston is so large,'and offers of marriage ' are so few, that immediately steps were taken for a vast higeira of spectacled maidens to the far west. Local book sellers declare that the girls o f tho Hub have abandoned scienco, and that books containing information about the west, and particularly Washington Territory, are t h e only ones called for. FARM AND HOME Management of FalM The time for the holding of fairs is at hand and the announcement^of them are being scattered about the country. With rare exception the premium list is a reprint of the one struck off last year. First, second, and third prizes are offerad for nearly everything, animate and inanimate, useful or ornamental, rare or common, that is produced on the farm, in tho house, shop, or factory. An effort is apparently made by the managers of fairs to bring together specimens of everything that will help attract a crowd tho members of which will purchase tickets. The fair programmes generally announce •pecial attractions, as balloon ascensions, byciele contests, base ball games, military drills and horse races. Tho annual agricultural fair is ordinarily a combination exhibition. There is a display of farm and garden products, live stock and domestic manufactures associated with a great variety show. There are some things to instruct and many things designed to amuse visitors. It is probably true that tho managers of fairs attempt to do too much. In tryingto afford amusement they fail in giving the desired amount of instruction. Pleasureseekcrs can get more for their money outside the fair grounds. The like is true of those who are seeking information on tho matters pertaining to producing crops, improving farms and raising live sto^k. The fair is generally devoted to moro purposes than are desired by any of the persons who attend it. The earnest young farmer, who is seoking information about the comparative merits of the different breeds of cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, finds that the show ring is occupied more than half, the time by some game or exhibition. The dairy products are often surrounded by a display of crazy quilts so that they cannot bo examined. The few samples of grain, roots, and fruits are placed in a room where are exhibited specimens of fine art. curiosities and perhaps monstrosities. The potatoes and seed corn are half hidden by infant's clothing and embroidered slippers. The majority of^tTfiTbrs are not satisfied with the wu^ fairs are conducted: still no organized'effort is made to improve them. Most fairs are run for revenue only, hi other countries agricultural fairs and shows are managed by socioties organized for promoting the various branches of husbandry. Tickets are required to enable visitors to enter the exhibition grounds, but all the money received for them is devoted to• paying premiums. An English or French agricultural or live stock show is true to name. No article is admitted to exhibition unless it can bo shown that it has some connection with the agricultural interests of tho country, and no premiums are offered except for objects that deserve to be encouraged. Recently the Royal Agricultural Society of Great Britain has restricted the giving of large premiums to new processes, crops and appliances. Every year an attempt is made to stimulate invention, discovery and enterprise in some new direction.—Chicago Herald. Monthly Sates. A correspondent wants us to urge the farmers of each county to establish a monthly sales day. The object would be to bring together at some stated day, monthly, in the principal town in the county, such horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, as the farmers had for sale, and not enough to justify having a special sale for their disposition. It is also a good place for the exchange of stock among farmers. One farmer may have an article of stock which another man in the county greatly needs, and that same man might have something which the first man had a demand for, such as rente-breeding animals which had served their time in the home herd. Frequently the finest animals of this kind have to be sacrificed for a mere song, because the owner did not know any other farmer in the county wanted just that animal. And there are a thousand reasons why the farmers of each county ought to have a monthly sales day, and that they ought to attend and patronize it. But then this would be an organization of farmers of a practical character for their own good. And it is hard to get farmers to do anything of this kind. The fact is few of the real farmers take any active part in organizing, perpetuuting and sustaining any organization of this class. It is true alliances, granges and associations are kept up, but tho leaders hi them, and who arc the motive power, are usually such persons as are seeking notorioty, and who hope through such activity to eventually grt place and position by such means. By constant drilling, a few farmers crn be, for a fib-oson. inducod to attend such meetings, especially if they arc held in town, where they can pretend to attend the alliance, tho grange or the association, but who will take occasion to attend to t h e i r own or somebody else's business during tho hours of the meeting. With this knowledge of the inclination and practices of the farmers, our correspondent need not try to enlist our services in vitalizing monthly sales days. It would be hopeless w o r k . - D e * Moines Register. T i m o t h y Gra»» on Low I>anil. On many lands too wet in the spring to be profitably planted to corn or sown with oats, it is quite possible t o grow l a r g e crops of timothy hay. But in the course of a few years red-top and blue grass choke out the timothy, and it is necessary to resoed. Tho usual method of reserving old meadow or pasture land is to plow it up and cultivate it with corn or potatoes, so that the sod shall be well subdued and tho weeds and bluo grass roots killed. But on tho kind of land we have now in mind this can not bo done. Tho land is dry in J u l y , but it is too wet—at least in part - t o plow for ordinary crops. We have had excellent crops of timothy on such land by breakingit up in July and keeping the surface weil worked with harrows to prevent weed3 from growing, and then in August gang-plow and work tho soil till it is fine and mellow. Such soil is easily worked. Tho real point is to kill tho blue-grass roots. W o r k it till this is certainly accomplished. And then, any time in August ov tho first week in September, sow from eight to twelve quarts of timothy per acre, and cover-it with a smoothing harrow or roller. If the work has been well done, and the soil is fine enough and mellow enough and moist enough to promptly start the seed, judging from actual experience,, wo are safe in promising a big crop of timothy hay the next summer: and now that wheat is so cheap, and hay can bo shipped long distances to market, there are few crops, considering tho little labor required, that pay more a:tual profit than a good crop of timothy hay. We have said the first crop will be a heavy one: the second is lilcely to be still better, and the number of years tho meadow will last before it is necessary to re.-eod it will depend on the fertility of the land and the thoroughness with which tho land was worked and the old blue-grass sod subdued.—'American Agriculturist. I'ti rm Not ft*. Continued damp weather is very unfavorable to sheep, especially if they have no shelter. When young chicks come out this month examine them for lice, which come from the hens to the chicles. Hulls are very treacherous. It is usually the gentle hull that injures his keeper. The older they become the more dangerous they are. Wagons and carts that are used daily should have the axles well greased at least three times a week. It lessens tho work of the horses. (irass growing around peach trees will do tho trees moro injury than any other source of damage. Tho peach orchard requires thorough cultivation. The surest way to kill thistles is to keep them down. As fast :is they appear above ground cut thein off, and they will in timo become exhausted and die. The strawberry patch should bo given a thorough cleaning of grass and weeds, so as to allow the old plants to throw out runners and to give tho runners a chance to root. . Horses should have at least two hours1 rest at woon. On very w rm days horses suffer severely. They should be watered often, and at night should be swabbed and wiped dry. Filthy .quarters cause lice on all classes of stock, and at this season the vermin multiply very rapidly. An animal that is infc.itcl with vermin can not lie kept in good condition, even with tho best of feeding. The hens will now begin to moult. Keep the hens that moult early, as they will lay i-i winter. Late pullets will seldom lav before next spring, but pullets hatcho.l not later than April should lay in November. It is cheaper and motv economical to hoe the corn than to allow grass round the stalks. Even when corn is cultivated in check rows it is sometimes impossible to get all the grass out except by the use of the hoe, especially if the corn lie planted on old sod land. July is the month when the melons, squash and cucumbers will make quick and abundant growth, [f the grass ha-* been cleaned out it is best to disturb tho vines as little as possible now, but any weeds appearing among the vinos should be pulled out and thrown on tho compost heap.

The woods were blighted by the frost, Dead leaves above the dead wero tossed; Came winter on a Hying cloud, And clad him in a snowy shroud; And spring, a maid from holy lands, P u t purple violets in his hands; And summer seat her bir.is to sinr Where his still heart lay moldcring. The sun, the snow, the wind, tho rain, Kesolved him back to dust again; Till autumn, in tho wilderness, Found nothing but a silken tress, She'wound it on a slender rod, And set it in the withered sod, And so tho lost boy's golden locks Made glory on the lichened rocks. —Boston Traveler. Water in Australia. Some years ago I ventured to assert in these pages, says a writer in Macraillun's Magazine, that the future of Australia for the next thirty years rested with the engineers. The recent discoveries of underground rivers in in the most arid portions of the continent have given those words a greater* significance. The difficulty of Australia has always been the fear that the land will not support a largo population. These discoveries of water dispel that fear. It now appears that the volumes of rain which fall about once in five years over the greater part of the Australian continent, covering with floods the plains which for four years previously have not known more moisture than might be given in England by a good fall of dew, find their way through the porous soils into channels and chambers beneath the surface, where at a depth of 1,000 or 2,000 feet they provide »n inexhaustible store of the most precious commodity known to the 'Australian squatter. It is impossible to say at present how the use of these underground supplies of water may change tho face of the Australian continent. The overflow from one b >re at a place called Kerribree has already cut a channel of several feet in depth through the sand, and now forms a permanent river of several miles in length in what used to be nn absolutely waterless country. It is only to bo expected that as more water is brought to the- surfac; the clouds will take up more moisture by evaporation and tho rainfall will increase. Then, with regular rainfall and inexhaustible .tanks and creeks, even tho Australian .squatter might begin to bo contented. This ought to be tho time of year for a man to turn over <v new leaf.

On the day before Henry E. P e r r i n e left Buffalo for Jackson, Mich., to b e - come the father-in-law of ex-president Cleveland, he told of a remarkable experience he had a week or two ago on a steamship as he was r e t u r n i n g from*" Florida. He separated from hU eon Carlton temporarily because t h e statcrooms were all occupied. In the room to which he was assigned was a man about 28 years old, whom he surprised in the act of absorbing a flask of liquor. That night while sleeping in t h e upper berth Mr. Perrine was awakened by a ! noiso in the stateroom. Peeping out j from his berth, he saw his roomm ite standing with his left hand holding t h e door, while in his right was a heavycaliber revolver. Pulling the door open the stranger thrust the revolver out, calling in a sharp tone, "Look out! look out there!" Then suddenly drawing back, he closed the door. Afrepeating this action several times he turned quickly to the window and t h r u s t his weapon out, calling as belore, "Look out! look out t h e r e ! " Drawing back, he got upon the seat beneath on his knees, aud holding t h e curtain closely by ono hand he cautiously peered through the narrow opening and again pointed his pistol at the imaginary foe, repeating his warning cry. Mr. Perrine decided that he would be very lucky if he escaped from t h e lunatic with his life. In describing what followed, he said: " H e got down from the seat and stood with -his back toward me, muttering to himself. Cautiously raising myself to a sitting position, I dropped ray fo3t over the side of the berth and proceeded to d r a g on my pantaloons, meanwhile keeping a close watch on my insane neighbor. Speaking quickly, I said to h i m as I let myself down to the place behind him, 'I have got to go out for a moment.'' He made no roply, and I walked slowly out of the room, not knowing but that when my back was turned he would shoot. 1 went to the bridge and the captain sent men to disarm ray neighbor. Suddenly he appeared swinging his pistol and followed by the two men. In the engineer's room he was disarmed. I had been in ray berth but a fesv minutes when my room-mate entered, all bejrrimod and blackened with dirt from tho hands of his captors. He searched for the flask, and, not finding it said: 'Where can my whiskey be? 'I replied:' P e r h a p s the men who wero in here have taken it.* H e stood by the berth and said to mo in a pitiful voice: 'The captain says ho is going to throw mo overboard at 9 o'clock.' 'He will not dare do that,' said I; 'the passengers will not allow it.' 'Yes. he says he will, and I don't want to bo thrown overboard. I have been away from home in Texas three or four years. I have been pretty wild, but now I want to get home.' He went to his coat and, taking a book, tore out a leaf and wrote a few lines with his pencil. Handing me the paper, he said, fM the captain throws me overboard, take this to my grandfather, Mr. Dabney of the firm of Dabney, Morgan & Co., Wall and Broad- streets, New York.' The following morning a boy came to my room and asked me if there was any other property of the young man's remaining there. I pointed out a collar and tie under the looking- glass and then asked, 'How is he this morning?' He is dead,' was the startling reply. Ho was wrapped in tho flag and slid into tho gulf stream/* —Chicago Herald.

Graham of Detroit were convicted of the famous Norris murder and sentenced to Jackson for life. The principal witness agaiust them was Enos H. Girard, who turned state s evidence. A few months later Girard was convicted of a burglary at Pontiac and sentenced 10 15 years. When Clurk und Graham found t h a t Girard was in prison they said that he would never live to be a f reo man. Clark said he was innocent, and' that Girard was the cause of his imprisonment, and that he intended to have life lor life. Girard has since made statement under oath that Clark was not guilty, and that his testimony against him was false. Girard has always been afraid of Clark and Graham, and they have always been kept apart. Two years ago Clark met Girard in ttie dining hall and attacked him, but was prevented from injuring him. Girard occupied a cell iu the west wing and Clark in the east. A few weens ago Girard asked for protection stating that Clark was watching for him. The other night as the men were marchiug to their cells Clark managed to drop out of his company and fall in behind Girard. As they passed into the hall Clark sprang upon his man, for whom lie had been waiting for ten years. He struck him in the neck with a shoe knife, cutting a deep gash, and with a secoud blow a cut five inches long on tho back of the head. T h e victim was attacked with hemorrhage and will die. Clark has had several opportunities to attack Girard on Saturdays between five and six o'clock, when they ore all let out into tho yard together. He said the reason lie never attacked his mau in the yard was because it would take away from the other prisoners the privilege of being let out in the yard every Saturday. Clark has been locked up in a solitary, but says he is satislied if Girard dies. Clark is about 45 years of age. His health has broken down, and he will live but a shori time in a cell. Ho asserts that he is innocent of the crime for which ho was convicted. The Calumet & Hcclii. President Agassiz of the Calumet & Hecla mining company in his annual report stated that the water supply was becoming low and that a plan is under consideration to tunnel to Lake Superior and pump water from that source. The expense of sinking the new vertical shaft and the execution of tho tunnel plan will be about twenty thousand dollars a month for the next three years. The company will next year put in two new engines on the southern part of the property. The tire in the old mine in Aucrust, 1S*>\ reduced the product of tho mine 25 ±u_30 per cent, und since the second hreylhere has been no product from it at all, but an expense of $45,000 a month in clearing the mine of water and for repairs. The product of tho new mine, in which the straight shuft is being sunk iu contrast with the incline of the old mine, is 20 per cent larger than that of the old when in order. The i n . n engines in tho old mine have been burned out and are to be replaced. Until this is done not much work can be done. At a meeting of the directors Alexander Agassiz was re elected president and C. W. Seabury secretary and t r e a s u r e r . — — i * . . Crime in Michigan. According to the report of the attorney general for the state of Michigan, for the year 1N58, 54 persons were brought before the courts for the crime of murder, und Tl for assault with intent to commit murder. Of these 22 cases were withdrawn or discharged on examination, and 1*1 discontinued or acquitted. There were 100 cases of crimes against women brought before tho courts; :ii gross offenses and 77 as saults. Of these 30 wero eiiher dropped altogether or discharged after examination ;ind 11 secured an acquittal or a discontinuance. Of the 12S charges of murder or murderous assaults, therefore, onethird wero in some way defective and failed of all penalty. ^-___ More Trouble for Waldron. Charles W.

The raccoon eat on the buttermilk pail And touched hit* light guitar; He wept as he sang to a pensive air His "Ode to a Kitllin* Star," And he kept one eye where the moonlight fell On the chicken-house door ajar.

What a Word Accomplished. A word whispered on an Alpine slope may precipitate an avalanche, and a suggestion .spoken by a friend may start a man in an honorable career. Sir William Napier, disabled by an incurable wound, und living on half-pay, was wnlkine one day in London with Lord Langdale. Napier had been dabbling in painting and sculpture, and had written for the Edinburgh Review an able article on Jommi's great work on military operations. The two friends conversed, while walking, on Southey's narrative of the Peninsula War, then fresh from the pTnss, and Lord Langdale was greatly i Struck by Napier's remarks concerning , the events of the struggle, in which he $lf had achieved distinction. Lpier, what are you going to do?". Ily asked Langdale. .„--- /ou mean where am,.I-gbing to inswered Napier. "" to, no. W h a t are you thinking of for an occupation? You ought to give Jo urself to literature. Your article on onrmi proves that you can write. Why not write a history of the war?" Napier went home to tell his wife what Lord Langdale had said, He added that he doubted whether he was clever enough to write a history of the war. She believed in her husband's talents, and was anxious that he should take up some serious occupation, and accordingiraged him to try. He did try. ir day he labored a t the desk, though burdened with the large family, was his counamanuensis.* She deciphered the whole of Joseph Bonaparte's secret correspondence, written in a cipher which had baitled ull the Experts \ . . .

I t mad* its author famous, he public war* delighted to read tb« book of one who had HO nobly shared in making the history he BO elegantly narrated. His descriptions of battles, sieges and marches stirred the hearts of readers, and school-boys declaimed his most brilliant passages. But the wimple word of a friend had started t he historian to his work.—Youth's Companion. A Pig Album. Autograph albums and photograph albums are common enough, no doubt, but I believe there are a few who have a pig album. What is a pig album? Well, I will explain. Don't you know that there are many people who do things with their eyes shut t h a t could never in t h e wide world do the same thingi decently with their eyes open? The pig album demonstrates this fact admirably. The first pig album that I ever saw was a small bound black book with pages unruled. The unfortunate friends of the young lady who owned it were handed a book and pencil and politely requested to draw, with his or her eyes shut, a pig on one of the clean blank pages. Try it and see what sort of an animal your pig will be. Of course you begin with the head; draw ears, eye, legs, back and tail in quick succession, flattering yourself, meanwhile, t h a t you are getting each part in exactly its proper position. You open your eyes and behold a confused mass, consisting of four perpendicular lines representing the legs, ears somewhere on top of the pig's back; the tail, always artificially curled, placed probably under the pig's snout. You see in what you had supposed to be a grave, decorous pig, a wild, rampant beast, with an expression perhaps crafty and c unning, sometimes complacent, occasionally imbecile. Take your pencil and try it, and you will probably laugh more or less at the result. The Python Held The Fort. The crew of the steamship, Denmark, had an exciting time last week at the company's dock in New York. The associated press dispatches tsll the story as follows: The python which placed the crew of of the steamship Denmark in such an embarrassing position during her voyage to this port by crawling out of tFie society of its associates and courting that of the engineers is still aboard the Denmark. I t is treated with distinguished consideration. Though Mr. Thompson of the Central Park menagerie came down to the ship this morning and carried away with him two smaller pythons, no attempt was made to secure the truant. In crawling from the engine room the big shake got into a compartuient directly beneath it tilled with pipes for the flow of hot and cold water to and from the boilers. I t is believed t h a t the python has coiled itself about one of the .cold water pipes and is now peacefully and hungrily waiting a discoverer. The difficulties of exploration are considerable, for when the iron plates are ripped from the ttoor of the engine room to afford entrance the compartment will be very dark and not more than four feet high, compelling the searcher after the python to make his acquaintance with the snake under most unfavorable circumstances. Another unpleasant complication is that no one on board ship is able to tell when the python may be found in some of the sailor's cots or on the dinner-table. The crew of the ship were kept in a quiver of excitement in . regard to the snake, and this morning, when the twelve firemen were ordered below to get their furnaces in good condition, ten of them prompt!}' refused to go, declaring that they were "married men with children and, the snake was hungry." A later dispatch tells how the python came to be aboard the ship: The reptile was shipped with two others, along with a lot of monkeys, baboons, lemurs and wild cats, to Frank J. Thompson, of 411 East Sixtieth street. The pythons were given a "square" meal the day the vessel sailed from London, and deposited in a warm corner of the cook's galley. The snakes were in charge of Ship Carpenter Lash. The pythons lay dormant, but on the third day the big one burst a slat in her box and set out on a foraging expedition. Third Engineer Baxter and Fourth Engineer GillesDie were holding a quiet conversation in the engine room, where the big snake concluded to join them. Sliding gently down the bulkhead she landed with her nose in the third engineer's hip pocket. Naturally he put his hand back to see w h a t i t was, and quite as naturally jumped a yard high with a yell that-" the fourth engineer echoed from sympathy, and both scrambled, up "the iron stairs to the deck. CarpenterXash came up on the run, and jumping below, seized the reptile by the tail and yelled to the engineers for help. Before the engineers could arrive the python had seen a hole in the floor, and crawled into it, dragging Carpenter Lash behind, who was forced to let go. The engineers arrived in time to hear the snake strike bottom somewhere in the bowels of the vessel, and she hasn't been seen since. Here, Hoys, Do This. Lay a chair on the floor in the manner shown in the cut to the right. Ask some one to kneel on the lack bar and take up with his month a piece of sugar laid on the forward end of f i e chair. Apparently this is a very easy thing to do, but if the experimenter is not careful to kneel in such a way that tf he centre ol gravity of his body is behind the seat the chair will tip over as shown in the cut to the left. k BRIEFJ0RR0W.

"You might guess t h a t no businesslike mother, with three plain daughters to settle, would be very fond of you," he observed with a worldly-wise air. " T h e y are not plain," demurred Miss Derwent, with an indignant air. "And Louisa is quite—yes, pretty— when she is well dressed and a little animated." " W h e n she is animated!" echoed Tom sarcastically. ".Now, no distraction, sir! If they a r e spiteful, I will not b e . " 4 , I don't believe you could b e . " " I was going to say t h a t I suppose Mrs. Stephenson took fright about Mr. Rowland; for I confess t h a t he was very attentive, and all my efforts could not keep him entirely at a distance; and, while I t h o u g h t my sentiments were plain to all beholders, she misunderstood me, no doubt through h e r over-anxiety. I am sure she would be \ e r y sorry if she knew my real feelings." "And yet you won't tell her the t r u t h ? " ••She would not believe me now, I fear, since there are others against me besides herself. P e r h a p s , when Louisa is safely married " She paused, apparently in deep thought. Tom, in deep remorse, studied the faint shadow of sadness upon her face. " I shouldn't care for t h e m , " he said with an attempt at blustering consolation, " t h e y ' r e not worth troubling about." "Oh, I should not mind t h a t so much!" she declared. " T h o u g h one does not like to feel t h a t one has lost a friend; but there are others more nearly bound in my happiness." "More shame for t h e m , " he interposed, wrathful ly, while his face flushed partly in pleasure at her words, partly in anger at the thought of how they would have been received at his home. "Well, you see, I have exonerated Faith from any share in it," he continued, more to draw her thoughts from this awkward subject of his family's opinion of her than because he cared what she thought of Faith. "You were determined to do so," she replied, with a quick resentful glance. Tom laughed, highly amused and not a little gratified at the idea of her oven pretending to be jealous of Faith —poor little quiet Faith! But he determined to be careful how he behaved to f a i t h in the future; they were both growing older, and theirfriendship might be misunderstood. There was a short silence awhile they strolled on down the lane, his arm about Nina's waist, her head leaning on his shoulder, his mood wholly changed. " I have not yet explained half to you," she said presently: " n o r do I .believe t h a t I shall be able to, save by kthe general reply I have already given you concerning tho gentlemen here, who seem to have such zealous friends among the ladies," smiling. " N e v e r mind about explaining anything," relurned Tom. " I told you I believed in you all along." "But about Sidney Bertram. I should like to say that he—that I-'- that I have had a great deal of trouble with him, but I think I have really succeeded in convincing him at last that it is of no use." " W h a t — t h i s morning? Then you did not meet by accident?" " I t was accident on my part. On his —well, ho came hoping to find me going out- - a n d ho did, you see. I was sorry then; but I have been glad since, for I believe ho is really convinced." " W a s ho was ho very much in love with you?" asked Tom, in low Jrcmulous tones, unable to beat* the thought of any one else feeling towards his divinity as he did. "I am afraid so. But you will never mention it to him.dear Tom, will you? - -for he is going to be good now." Tom hardly hoard her »penk; he was so absorbed in .recalling young B e r t r a m ' s look as ho had pasr.ed aim— not t h e look of a despairing1 lover at all, he t h o u g h t — n o t as h e would h a v e looked h a d t h e case been his, he was sure. " I o u g h t not to h a v e exposed the poor fellow!" said Miss Derwent. " I did it only to satisfy you." " W h y I told you I was satisfied," said Tom, raising his eyebrows. " T h o u g h it's awfully good of you not to be a n g r y with me for telling you all t h a t h u m b u g , and actually to condescend to explain your behavior when everybody ought to know t h a t it is above question"—loftily. " T h e r e is one thing more I should like to s a y , " Nina continued, " a n d t h a t is, t h a t I think it especially unkind of t h e m to spread it abroad t h a t I have relinquished my designs on Mr. Rowland since your cousin—Captain Tregelles—came home. I have certainly been kind to him, on account of his invalid condition, and because I was glad to h a v e the opportunity of conciliating any member of your family, dear Tom, who was willing to meet me half way." This gentle thrust roused t h e boy's a n g e r against his people; but he would not trust himself to speak of it lest he should reveal to her the actual strength of their feelings against her which he still hoped she did not fully realize. "You did not misunderstand my kindness to him—did you?" she inquired. "No!" he answered fondly and indignantly. " I knew it was for my sake; I was pleased. Nothing could gratify me so much—except one thing —you know what"—clasping her closer for a m o m e n t — " a s to see the two I love best in t h e world good friends." "You love h i m ? " she questioned lightly, as if amused at the idea; but Tom either did not notice or did not understand her manner. "Second only to you," he said soberly, as he spoke wtfen very m u c h in earnest. " H e is my ideal—my hero. If I h a d done what he h a s done I could die h a p p y now." He looked at her with g r a v e unconscious pathos. She seemed steadied by t h a t look for a moment; b u t the next she laughed it off, and said gaily: "Don't talk about dying! You have your spurs yet to win, my k n i g h t of the big blue eyes!" Tom smiled; she often praised his eyes to him, and if they pleased her he was g l a d — t h a t was all he ever thought about them. Miss Derwent eyed him, evidently in great relief. "You look so different now, T o m ! When you came up to me I was quite frightened; you looked so—so—what they call in old-fashioned books 'distraught1 and so pale—oh, so pale— like what you were talking of just now!"—a shudder. "Like the face of the dead, you mean?" and he laughed at her, because she would not say what she felt. " P e r h a p s I was pale; I felt so—so angry! But I don't think I was ever very rosy"—laughingly. "No; you never have much color," she agreed. And so they talked idly on, and he made violent boyish love to h e r as usual, and she half encouraged, half provoked him by the reception of it, until she said it was time for h e r to go in. " W h e n will you come out again he asked, as they stood t o g e t h e r saying their farewell. " I do not know whether I can come out any more at all with you," she replied— " t h a t depends entirely upon, you rsel f.'' . ^,^- -""" "Upon myself? How?"-'"find the boy's face suddenly Turned pale again. ^ - ^ "If you go home with the tale of my defence of myself—much as I appreciate your good intentions, and, in other circumstances, should prefer publicity—if they hear my reply to their accusations, they must know t h a t I am aware of them; you see, T o m . " "Of course." " I t would reach the Steplicnsons in the course of a few hours, and then there would be no alternative but for me to go. I could not possible stay in their house when Mrs. Stephenson knew t h a t all she, had said of me had come to my ears—you must see t h a t . " Tom was forced, reluctantly to see it. "So you will now agree t h a t silence is the best thing at present. If 1 can bear it, dear Tom, for your sake, so as to be here a little longer, surely you can bear it for mine? '—as h e still stood irresolute with clouded face; but he b r i g h t e n e d and softened at these words. " I could bear a great deal more t h a n t h a t , " he declared tenderly. " W h a t troubles me is t h a t you should have to bear it too.'' "Oh, never mind t h a t / y o u will help mo by your faith in me! You have known this some time, I think you said, and have believed in me all through without saying one word to me. 'I hat-is something like faith." "I heard things almost :;t tho beginning, but not s;i much at first. Then I h e a r d / m o r e and m o r e ; but I never believed it —or. if ever I wavered for a moment, a look or a word from you settled all my d o u b t s . " " B u t why did yon not speak to m e before, instead of going t h r o u g h a l l t h a t ? ' she inquired affectionately, standing close to him in t h e bleek l a n e with t h e rain drops falling u n h e e d e d upon h e r soft furs. • • O h - I , " t h e lad stammered and flushed, " i t seemed like insulting you." "You dear good fellow! I wonder how many besides you would be so considerate? Tom, you are a born " " W h a t ? " h e asked, laughing, as s h e stopped short, but she would not tell him, in spite of all his coaxing, Baying t h a t she did not want to spoil him. So they parted, Tom claiming a reward for his fidelity, which after acertain amount of pretty hesitation and playful provocation, she granted. 911 CHAPTER VII. H E first month of t h e new year has passed, and Nina Derwent was still at Wistaria Villa, staying on first for one thing then another. As she continually spoke of h e r impending departure and seemed to h a v e settled plans, to he carried out on h e r return to town, none of t h e inmates of t h e house seemed to object to h e r p r o - longed stay. The great anxiety of t h e household was at an end; for Nina's discouragement of Mr. Rowland, whose fancy had certainly seemed inclined to stray, had lately become so m a r k e d as to be unmistakable to all, even to t h a t .gentleman himself* who,, possibly sadder and wiser for his experience, returned with renewed w a r m t h to the legitimate object of his^ affections. Mrs. Stephenson was not so loud in. her complaints against h e r guest now. Nina had made her two c h a r m i n g new caps, and had trimmed Louisa a bonnet, t h e like of which was not to b e seen in Westcott. So Mrs. Stephenson smiled upon her again, and, when people remarked how disgracefully Miss Derwent was angling for Captain Tregelles. she remarked complacently t h a t she thought it was " t h e other way about"—anybody could see t h a t he was over head and ears in love with the girl. Tom bore the gossip t h a t continued to reach his ears much more patiently after his confidences on the subject with his beloved—in fact, he wasgrowing more "enduring, graver, a n d gentler every day, though they did. not get the benefit of this change in him at home; for there he was sullen, treating them with a scornfulness t h a t was totally unlike any t e m p e r he had ever shown before. Even to his cousin Mary he was only sulkily civil; while his old friendship with Faith Freke seemed a thing of the past, for he appeared to take every opportunity of slighting her. Only to his cousin Waring, among the home circle, did he 6how his new self as other people saw it—softened with a certain happiness t h a t seemed half sadness. Every one, however, saw the physical change in him—the slight wasting of his frame, the growing transparency of his skin, the strange shadows about his eyes—all saw these, and said t h a t Tom was taking his lesson hard. For nobody seemed to think that Miss Derwent was in earnest with him; and a g r e a t deal more now was said about her and Captain Tregelles 1han hjid ever been said about her and T o m ^ " " " The boy did not seem tojaetlce thegossip; he himself was^-not seen with Nina D e r w e n t . a n d rarely had been; for she hapU-always insisted, and more strenuously of late, upon their walks -being taken where they were not likely to be observed—down the quiet lane behind Wistaria Villa; so thatsome people thought t h a t "Tom's affair" was at an end. But if a n y t h i n g troubled him he seemed to have some secret source of consolation; for h e bore all patiently, never showing his old wild high spirits, but still not acting the part of the disconsolate lover. TO BE CONTINUED. > Savage Florida Wild Hogs. One of the many terrors that t h e northern huntsman has to deal with in southern Florida is t h e ferocious wild hog, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. No one who has not encountered this animal can appreciate its thorough "cussedness." They are among the fiercest animals that inhabit the wilds of any land, although but little is '-known of them ritrht hero in our own country. The wild hog of Florida will attack anything; he seems to fear nothing, and is by great odds a bolder fighter than the bear. There is nothing foxy about him. He does not possess any of the traits of the coyote or tho wolf, but will march fearlessly into a tight, alone, unaided, and with the odds against him. When assailed he becomes a fiend incarnate and will attack anything from a cougar to an alligator. He h a s none of the fear which the 1 atter possesses. And the Mules, Too. A citizen of a neighboring town came to town yesterday, says the Nashville American, and was seen standing on Broad St. studying the electric cars. * He looked at them for awhile thoughtfully nud didn't seem very enthusiastic. Ho appeared to be in n sort of reverie. At last 1 stepped up to him mid asked : "Well, what do you think of it!" My new friend looked at mo for a minute and replied slowly: "I was Just thinking how the Yankees came down hero and freed our niggers. Now the same blamed fellows have cumc down and freed our mules."

Do Bouefon, the correspondent of the (hudoU who was recently expelled from Berlin, gave the following pen portrait of the young emperor of Germany: " ' W i l l i a m II. will prove a peaceful warrior.1 Stic'i is the phrase with which a royal prince, an imperial at that, concluded three months ago a long conversation upon his living enigma, who was yesterday crown prince of Germany, and who hi now emperor. The new head of the Hohenzollern house is unknown. Ho has only one master, the chancellor; and it is not all certain that the pupil, now that he is a sovereign, will remain docile aud obedient. Some people think that the prince is a young man of intelligence, with both a head and a heart, while the lovers of parallel already compare him to the great Frederick. "On the other hand, it is said that he is heavy and narrow-minded, a soldier without ability, ami without education. All put their own ideas in the portrait. All look upon the young man with eyes of ntleetion or of hatred, that is to say, with blind eyes. Upon one single point those' who know or pretend to know William 11., friends and enemies ulike, are agreed, and that is that the commencement of his reign will he the commencement of war. For him, they say, every tiling that i.s not in uniform has nut the weight of a straw. For him the army is a divinity, aud he hi the god of the German army, lie is never seen except in the casernes, aud the banquets of officers, and at the reviews. All this is true, and furthermore, while the fattier ehoso for military counsellor Gen. lilumenthal, the artist general, the, son surrounds himself with soldiers who are nothing but soldiers, the Kleists, and Papes. and tin: Waldersecs. "Nevertheless William must not be represented as a cut-and-dried trooper like a corporal after the style of the founder of the Prussian monarch)'. He wishes to be very much German autl veity much Ilohen/ollern. He is. fond of'his uniform, and holds hunself erect in hisvstature. But oi-'tbe Hohenzollern he has neithor the stature nor the strength, ^JI-OV even the somewhat heavy^affd imposing beauty, -^'^llie story is told of him that one day at a review he was taken with a hemorrhage of the nose, and as the stall' gathered around him he remarked with a laugh: 'Don't mind, gentlemen; it is only the last drop of-English blood that comes from my veins/ The story is a lit1, perhaps, but even if true the statement would be an e i w r — i n spite of him and unknown to hinr; William is English— English in physique and English in character, if not in heart. lie has the gift of repartee, ami his remarks can be cruel or amiable, according to circumstances. He has a passion for travels and the mobility of fixed ideas - everything, in fact, that comes from the other side of the channel. Even his education lias been English. lie lias not had, accordingto the traditions of the lloheu/.ollerns, for tutor an iron master to teach him pride, obedience, self-will, and passivene- is. He lias played in the college grounds of Cassel with his future subjects, ju.st like the sou of a constitutional king. Uompinjj Swallows. They say man is the only animal that, can laugh, but he is far from being the only one /that can cut capers and have a good time says the Buffalo Efjirvss. There is a colony of swallows that find a roomy home inside a broken cornice on the Noye building at Washington street bridge, that was lately observed engaged in what must have been sport. One of them ' when first noticed had a piece of paper about a foot square in his mouth. He flew with it over the bridge, and when in the air dropped it. He at once Hew under it and caught it., but let it go again and tlew aside, when several others tried in turn to catch it. Some succeeded and some failed and they kept at, it till the paper had fluttered, down uncomfortably close; to the ground. Then they all Hew u p together and roosted on a telegraph wire to talk it over, their notes being very hilarious and quite different from a swallow's ordinary twitter. An observer who goes to ball games sometimes wondered if they were not canvassing the skill each displayed during his inning. In t h e Shallow of H u n k e r Hill.

In giving the names of those who received certificates to teach school at the spring examination at Howell from this place in our last issue we omitted the names of Misses Lizzie Clack and Wealthy Green. The man who got mad and stopped his paper to. spite the editor is the same fellow who tried to light the kitchen fire with cayenne pepner to save matches, and the result was the same in both cases—he went blind.

Ross in Marion township, drew a load of cucumbers to the pickle factory in this village. He started to return home in the evening, and when about four miles from this place hi? team ran away, throwing him on his ljead in the road, fracturing bis skull and severing an artery. When found by a number of men, who happened to be traveling along the road shortly after the accident, he was bleeding profusely from the wound. He lived about fifteen minutes after he was found, although he was unable to tell how the accident happened. He was carried to the home of Mr. Ross and his relatives were notified. On Friday evening a sister came from Fowlerville and conyeyei the remains to that place where they were interred. Mr. Fisk was about 26 years of age, and notwithstanding to contrary reports, was a temperate man and was well liked by his employer and all who knew him. Detroit Tribune: "Howell, Sept. 3. Frank Fisk, a farm laborer, who worked for Thomas Ross of Marion township, six miles south of here, was found in a dying condition by the side of the road near his employer's house last week Thursday night. An ugly gash in the back of his head and a broken skull wero the cause of his death. It was given out that while returning from Pinckney ho had been run away with and thrown from the wagon. Suspicion has since arisen, however, that the man has been foully dealt with, as the'hoi^es were found only a short distance from where the body of Fisk was found, and no appearances of a runaway were visible about the wagon or horses. It is-known that Fisk's life had been threatened, and he had provided himself with a small 32-ealibre revolver as a means of defense. He was a man 33 years old and a particularly inoffensive person. Considerable excitement preyails." Read the Following Carefully. During the past few months we have* endeavored, in every way possible, to have those who are in arrears for this paper to call and settle, as we wish to run the DISPATCH strictly on the "cashin- advance" system, knowing that this is not only the right way to do business, but that it will meet with approval by nearly all of the subscribers. We have over one hundred names on our book whose time of subscription has expired, which we will mark with a blue cross this week, and in order to adopt the above system we will make the following offer: Until October 1, 1889, we will give to those who pay all back subscription and one year in advance, the DISPATCH one year and the Detroit Weekly Free Press or Tribune four months. After October 1st wo will send the DISPATCH only to those who pay fov-it in advance. Now, we mean business and shall do just as we say, gentlemen have been sounding">bVftherefore, if you do not renew before that time, we shall take it for granted that you do not wish the paper sent to your address any longer and will discontinue it. We hope that our pay-inadvance subscribers will pardon ns for this everlasting dunning as this will be our last, ana hoping that every one who owes us on subscription will call or send and settle before the abort named time, we remain, Yours Sincerely, THE PuBLttHEkV 4,1 "•I ..*..— *., !$!**!/ •••'• '!•'•• ' • » " ; >[• .. * "' ' W. sfr' ••/ ' • -'J,'i • • ' i ' ' * : 4 : ^ d V &.

The matter of penatoas wa* reserved by thecommatider for the conclusion of his address. He said: The committee on pensions has been unable to make any progress in securing favorable consideration by congress of the pension bills recommetnled by the Columbus encampment. The reason for t l m failure will be given by the committee and I know that its members are la no way to blame. The question of pension legislation will come before you again for discussion and recommendation. The number of comrades entitled to seats in this encampment reaches 1,000, the largest representation ever accredited to an encampment. In a deliberative body so large, its members coming from all parts of the union, representing all shades of op nion, it is but natural that all will not agree in the discussion, but when t h e discussion has closed and the encampment has acted, its action should receive the earnest support of every comrade. The Grand Army of the Republic has never exercised its full influence in pension legislation, because of division in its ranks. The measures recommended by the national encampment should not bo antagonized by conflicting measures urged by departments or posts. Trie List encampment, after much discussion, by a practically unanimous vote recommended to congress a service pension bill and what is known as the "disability pension bill," the Utter having received the repeated approval of all previous encampment*. This action was the result of a compromise, and in my judgment, was as wise as i t w a s j u s t and conservative. Mv experience in congress leads me to believe that you will greatly strengthen the hands of our friends iu t h a t body by demanding at Milwaukee the pension legislation asked for at tjolumbus. Let the committee on pensions take your recommendations to congress backed by the united Grand Army of the Republic and there will be no failure. # # * The service pension will come. The day is not far distant when an honorable discharge from the union army or n a v y s h i l l be all the evidence required to secure a pension to its holder, " A pension Riven as a reward of service* to the state is surely us good a ground of property as any security for money advanced to the state," said the great English statesman Burke. Let the bondholders of the country remember that the men who rendered their securities vuluable—the men who have ever insisted that they be paid to the uttermost farthing, principal aud interest, of the money advanced by them to the state— let them remember that thesa men have elulms upon the state equal at least to that of the bondholder. Let those who inveigh against pensions remember that it was the bays in beue who by trialu, sufferings una death, bequeathed to them the legacy of liberty uud uuion, insuring to them aud their children the blessings of free institutions under which they enjoy a greuter prosperity, a larger liberty, a higher civilization and a purer Christianity than ever before en.oyed by a people, Let the people remember that to preserve to them tlieiie blessings, Four hundred thousand of the brave .Made this, our ransomed soil, their grave. We, the survivors of these men, we who gave the best years of our lives to our coumry, will present our claims to congress, and iu doing so will not approach those iu authority with bated breath and whispering humbleness, but as tree men we will demand, .-sking only that which is just. We would rather have the nation help ovir comrade-* living than erect monunr n t s ' o tiuuii dmul.

So through the ages shall the children of the republic sing how well you maintained the eons, itution, preserved the union of the states established by the fathers, kept the hag unsullied, giving to "the nation a new birth of lreeciom."'

Imm-aliaioly after tholiolid y session of congress ihe pension commit'ee hold' a meeting iu Chicago, .md frcn thence, hv upiMinUncnt, called upon the President- (dec, at his home in Indianapolis, having a very pemsanl inl-u'view aud receiving frtnu him the most cordial assurances of his warm intcre-.: in the great question of pensions, ana ids earnest dedro for generous legislation in behalf of the defenders of the union. Immediately after another meeting of the committee was held in Washington, but Iroci the circumstances above mentioned, uud from the facts narrated in the last report of the committee it was found impossible to bring about any additional legislation during the remaining days of caugress. Following the practically unanimous expression of opinion by the last national encan- iUnent, your committee prepared two pension bins. The disability bdl was so broadened in its provisions as to include your indorsement for a pension to the widows of b o u o r a b y discharged veterans. The bill as thus enlarged provides a pension of sfli per mouth to all honorably discharged soldiers c-ud sailors who are now, or may hereafter become disabled, without requiring proof that such disability arose from causes actually within the line of their service, and a s in all other similar at an expense of nearly 13,000,000 annually. Following this the committee asked of congress and secured a law giving the commissioner of pensions the power to appoint baads of exumlning surgeons throughout tbe country whenever in it* Judgement necessary to expedite the work of pension examinations. The next recommendation of this committee which became law was for tbe appoiutmont of special pension exaiuiuera in the hold und :JN) were «ppoluted to hasten the exuuiipntion into pension cases about which queslious arose. Another recommendation which became law wus for tbe employment of experts as to special diseases iu oases demanding special examination. The next re-commendation of the committee which became a law was the increase of pensions to $30,$lb arid $F> for the loss of a leg, arm, foot, huud, or equivalent disability. The committee uext found that In the practice of the pension oltice the claim of u soldier to a pension from disability wus universally attacked upon the ground of existing disub.lity at the time of his enlistment, and he wus compelled to prove that he wiw in souuii health when the government accepted his services. Pension agents had been permitted to charge pensioners whatever sum they saw ht for their services in connection with such pensions, la many ease.- these amounts were enormous. L'pon recommendation of the pension committee the agents' fees were fixed and linrto.l by law, Still later, the recommendation of this committee was adopted by congress increasing the pension ot a widow from s«s to ^lU a mouth, It Was upon recommendation of this committee that laws have been passed vv.vy largely increasing the pensions for the severer disabilities, T^edisability bill prepared by this committee and which passed boLh bouses of congress, but was veteed by the President provided for pensions to all disabled soldiers, without reference to cause of disability: to parents in all eases where they became in needy circumstan es alter the death of a soldier, instead of the present law refusing pensions in any such case, except where parents were dependent upon the soldier at the time of enlistment. This bill also pro,-iiled for the c mt,nuance of every solder's pension in case ot bis death to his widow in berown rigid aud increased the pension of minor chh1i*--u. The committee* had ponding before the 1 st session ot cc-ingress another fill providing pensions for all widows without reference to the cause O'L the death of their husbands. Lids forthe siirviv rs of rebel prisoners and for the re-enactment of the arrears law. While the foi»e-oing docs not comprise ail that has been nceomnlished bv the Craud A The uumot-r had honorable diseharg I ' d , bv , ' l i s e h a n hills prepared by this committee, without rvny requirement of dependence in relation to sucli disabled veterans, thus relieving the bill entirely from the ob.ectionable limitof pauperism; a. pension for alldependent parents from tbe time or' actual dependence, whatever occurring at or subsequent to the son's enlistment; in case of pensions to minor children from two to five dollars per month, and a pension for all widows whether the dece ised husband was or was not in receipt of a pension. The eo nmittee also prepared a bill granting pensions to each honorably discharged veteran at the rate of one cent for each day's service, with a minimum limitation of *8 per month. B.lls containing nil these provisions were then in various forms before the committees of the l.ust congress, but it was found on consultation with members entirely impossible in the then state or public a:fairs to secure uny favorable action thereon. Perhaps following the accomplishment of so little in the way of practical results during the past year, it may not be inappropriate to note some of the beneficial legislation secured through the n itional pension committee ot the grand army. Down to the time of the appointment of this committee in 1SSI little or nothing had been done by the veterans us a class toward systematic work in relation to the liberalization of the pension laws. Immediately afterward it was found that the work of the pension department was seriously hindered und the adjudicition of hundreds of thousands of exses delayed from the lack of a sufficient clerical force In that depart ment, as well as in the offices o | the ad;utant- geueral and of the surgeon general, from which later such necessary information in regard to pension casos must bo secured. Upon consultation with the then commissioner of pensions the committee asked of congress an increase in the force attached to these various offices. By the then session of congress the clerical force in the pension office was increased from 742 to 1598. To the adjutant-general's office was added 167 clerks, to the surgeon's 186 and 1*2 to other departments connected with this work, a total of U10 additional clerk* .Many pension committee nor indicate by any means the entire amount, of their worlc, it is sa .hacn ly comprehensive and oxhibihi:.-'. enou-ai accomplished fact to justify its original appointment, and we recommend t h t the Work be vigorously \ pushed lor the ye r io come, upon the lines [marked out by i lie m tonal encampment.' j The annual reunion o; the veteran signal corps was held, and elected J. 1 i.

"Old 1 \ I * > if f * Tecamp's" Touching Remarks to "the Boys." D u r i n g the third day* session of tho G. A. K. encampment, about twenty-Ave uaand people gathered at t h e National " ters* home for disabled v e t e r a n s where men passed in review before Ueu. tiiau and party. Gen. Sherman was ed with immense enthusiasm and a brief •speech, wlticli he M.YH is the ust one ho will ever make. Gen. Sherman said: B o y s : My speaking days a r e over. I am not going to make ;<n,v more speeches. If you want a speech, talcs S e n t t o r Mauderson. 1 think he can make a good speech. 1 am always glad to see so many soldiers looking hearty and healthy. J think we can stand on our legs yet. I liko to see that our Uncle Sam takes pret\v ood care of these old soldiers. ncie S a m can net make old nieu young, t he can make y.ountf men as good as you or I ever were. 1 see Milwaukee is full of them aud they coming out of the bushes everywhere. you think you a r e the only old Boldiers, you itre mistaken. There were old soldiers before you and there "vill l e again. Such is t h e providence of the world. J u s t as good men were born a thousand years ago and will bo born a thousand years heuce. All w e have to do is to do our purts in this short period of life honorably and honestly. 1 think we can p i s s the grand tribuu d and say: "VV*. have tried to do our best." and the sentence will be "well done." We have passed through one crisis of our country's history. I don't see any chance, of another, but nobody knows tho future. Bring up your children to love and venerate the old soldiers who fought in 18t>l and lSti.% and m<<ko them uncover their heads when Ihey see that little banner t h a t you followed in the days which tried us to the u t m o s t L e t us venerate t h a t flag and love our country and love each other and stand by each other as long as we have headB on our shoulders and legs on our bedieo. Those old soldiers wno marcned against the enemy in those trying days, a grateful country tries its best to assist and will, I think, in fact, I am suro, be good to you when you get too old, all that is necessary. Hut keep young as long as you can aud do not go into a soldiers' home if you can help it. THE ULTIMA THULE. peudence is the Only Thing" For f '' Radical Canadians. The indignation expressed by Canadians for whtit they are pleased to stylo Yankee outrages in Behring Sea has taken a new phase, and this comes ironj the party in politics known as the Advanced Liberals, which is fi.st becoming the power in the dominion. This new departure.is nothing more or less triau the declaration of the independence of Canada. The Montreal Herald, owned by Hon. P e t e r Vilehell, late minister ol marine and lisheries, i.nd organ ot tho Advanced Liberals, puhiishesa strong leader advocating the independence of Canada rather than have her made tho cat's paw of imperial politicians. The views set forth in the leader are also to be taken as the personal views of *»ir. Mitchell. The points of the Herald s article are: "if the statement made in the Washington dispatch published in yesterday's Herald couvey a correct representation of the views neld by Harrisoirs administration respecting the Hehring Soa difficulty, and there is a 'couiplelo accord of understanding' between the British and American governments on the matter, the situation must be regarded ;;9 in vested with new and startling interest for Canada." The article then briody reviews the claims of the United Status and continues: *'in other words, the United St .tos and G r e a t britian fuily understand each other, ttiey will settle the difli'juity in their own way and without reference to Canada's views and in a .pure spirit of charity." The article concludes as follows: "There is one point on which the people of Canada a r e entitled to receh e explicit iniormation and that without ticlay. If it should turn o u t that our government has, made no empnatie protest ngainst this method of treating Canada's vital interests then the people oi Canada will bo justified in taking the matter into their own hands and dealing with it in the most effective manner open to t h e m . " South Dakota Republicans. The South Dakota republican state con vention met in Huron Aug. 2D. After formal organization had been effected, tho committee on resolutions reported, a majority and minority report being made on the Temperance plank. The majority report favored prohibition aud was adopted by a big vote, not a score voting against it. The plattorm adopted, among other things favors the adoption of state ana national prohibition of the liquor traffic, and such other laws as may be necessary for tho enforcement of prohibition; opposes the encroachments of corporations and trusts, and views with alarm the dangerous encroachment of the numeious trusts forming a h over tho land, aud demands tho enactment of stringent laws, state and national, declaring the formation of all trusts and combinations for the purpose of controhingor enhancing the price of any of the necessaries of life unlawful and contrary to public policy, and providing tor all their suppression and the punishment of all parties interested therein. O. S. Gilford and John A. Picklcr were nominated for congress by acclamation and A r t h e r C. Mellette in a similar way went i u t o r governor. The ticket was completed lows: .I. A.

The commissioners of the Yosomito valley have ordered the demolition of miles of fences and many unsightly building*, leaving more space open for campers and tourists. A s English detective, after a search cf four mouths, h a s found (in Sidney) a piece of silver plate stolen from a London house and which he was instructed to recover at any cost. Waif Whitman thus refers to his hoslth in a recent letter: "1 am easier and r a t h e r better theso days and am wheeled out in a strong willow chair every day. B u t I am a sad old wreck." When the spire at the First Baptist church a t Waldcboro, M e , was taken down, a few days ago, a chew of Bpruce gum, covered by a copper cout, was found stuck to the top of tho vane.

The habits of the crow form an interesting subject for the study of the ornithologist. The crow has a larger brain than most birds, aud ail his energies a r e directed toward procuring food. Crows will destroy the nests of quail and other birds, taking tho young from the nests in the absence of the old birds. The favorite food of young hawks is frogs. Brooklyn at present is becoming overc. iov\ ded with young dentists who are trying each one to beat the other in building u p immense practices. A few years ago the Brooklynilo had to pay SI to have a tooth extracted, hut now the rates have been so cut, owing to iho spring graduations of the dental colleges, that the price has been changed to 15 cent3 a tooth, or two to7" j> cents. ''The May trade returns s h e v tho effect of the exhibition," saya the Paris corfospondent of the London Times. The imports of articles of food amounted to 127,(.K)J,-. 0()0 francs, against 47,(KXJ,OOJ francs in May, 18t8; those of raw material to iy;-»,000,tM).i franca, against l.V.',000,tXK) francs; and those of manufactured goods to 51,UK),i>00 francs, against 413,000,000 francs. The exports also show a considerable increase."

Mrs. Felicia Grundy Porter, who died at Nashvillo, Tcnn., a few days ago, was oao of tho notable* women of tho South. She wus a daughter of the late Felix Grundy, Van Buren's Attorney General, and before the war was a leader in the brilliant society of the national capital.

K M E T T , EDITOR I1D PROPRIETOR Pincknay, Michigan. Tnorsaay, JSeptenibar i>, 188». Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, SKPTEMBKB 3, 1889. To detect a counterfeit bill on careful inspection seems easy and almost all men accustomed to handling money •have a private conceit that they would •know a counterfeit on sight. Stand any day beside the patient messenger in the secret service division of the Treasury department and listen to the •comments of people who are looking oyer the books of counterfeit bill, and notes. This one is srood, that one is bad, they think, and their verdict is generally positive. I noticed a spectacled, important looking young man, •with a lady on his arm, and a few friends with hira, looking over the book, Saturday. They were evidently a bridal party, and as they conversed I learned that the groom was a bank •cashier from some place with an unpronouncable name out in Wisconsin. Yes, Harry would tell us all about the good counterfeit from the bad. And he did it, while the patient attendant held his sighs. The way Harry blundered on was remarkable, and even the -attendant showed signs of impatience, where he pronounced to be a miserable •botch, the bond popularly supposed to toave been made from plates stolen from the Government and secretly purchased back from the thieves. "Quite the easiest thing in the world to tell a bill," concludes Harry complacently as the party moves on. The annals of the Secret Service tell 'the story of patient and skilled criminals, organized and with money, working for months and years, sometimes in the garrets and cellars of crowded eities and sometimes in remote isolated country houses, for the "stake" that shall secure idleness and respectability and prosperity when the work is done. Not a few counterfeiters have been engravers, who haunted by the fear of failing vision, or the loss of touch have hoped to jump at once iato a forture and be rid of the wearing work forever. Not a few are refined sensitive fellows, totally unlike the vulgar "shoyer of the queer" who spends two-thirds of his life behind the prison bars. The doing sometimes shown by these adventurers is a hackeyed subject. Think of McCartney, the wonderful skilled engraver, lecturing on "How to detect Counterfeits," and^ passing counterfeits of his own manufacture in the change given out at the door. McCartney is just now in prison, but he has* been at various times a Treasury department expert, agent of the Secret Service, artist, mule driver, cattle dealer, saloon, keeper, and machinist. He is said, but probably the story should be taken with a grain of allowance, to have made a plate in two weeks that it takes most workmen six months to finish. a clerk at the pension agency in this city, had been temporarily dropped from the rolls, with a dozen others until another appropriation became available, inyites attention to the fact that that zealous gentleman, Corporal Tanner, has two daughters feeding at the public tough. For a public official, who has only been in office since April this is doing very well. If the commissioner of Pensions, had more daughters of the age necessary to hold office, he might be entitled to less credit, but it appears that he only has these two and in his humble way he has done the best he could. It is said that only his wife's refusal has prevented her appointment as a clerk in the Pension office. That the Government universally makes inadequate provision for its professional employes is evinced in the case of the supervision architect of the Treasury department. The present incumbent was only induced to accept the position with the understanding that he would be allowed two dry? each week to attend to his own business in Philadelphia, thus retaining the better part of his private patronage.

Come and see samples and get testimonials from farmers who have used Western Reserve Fertilizer: also remembsr this is the place to buv THRESHING COAL, which is much safer than wood. Also Half the improvements in the genuine bills have been the suggestion of counterfeiter. The little silk thread woven into the bill, which is still supposed by many people to be proof against counterfeiting, was the idea of Tom Ballard, a notorious counterfeiter, now doing a thirty-live years sentence at Albany. It is really remarkable that such fearfully long sentences have not retarded counterfeiting, but they have not. I saw a counterfeiter sentenced three years at Louisville, to twenty years imprisonment. He was nearly 80 years old, seared and scarred by chemical poisoning, and yet he received his sentence without flinching. He bad played his cards and lost. The counterfeiting of paper money is principally limited by the expense of the necessary plant. A plate for a genuine bill costs about $1,500 aud the counterfeiter if he be not his own engraver, must pay far more for it. Then he must provide t»n expensive plate prass, ink, paper and other necessaries. These can only be operated where every possible danger of interference is as nearly met as possible. Thus the business becomes a blasted monoply, as one can say. The accidental publication of the fact that the name of a Miss Nettie Tanner, Their Business Booming.

A pretty girl and a particularly welldressed youth were walking out W»»- nut street yesterday afternoon about A o'clock. The pfetty girl's face filled with horror at the " sight of a long, brightly colored caterpillar which extended itself lengthwise on her companion's pantaloons just about the knee. She struck it deftly with her parasol, but the insect clung to the cloth,which was a tine quality of black cassimere. A second poke with the parasol, failed to dislodge it. Finally she stooped and tried to pick it off, but it refused to move. "Better leave him alone,*! sis," laughed the young man, and upon her asking what'it was, remarked as follows: "It's a new wrinkle. You order a jet black pair of trousers with a shine on the cloth. Then, after your tailor has cut the pieces, have a spot marked on the piece over the left knee and get somebody to embroider there a bug, or a butterfly, or some such insect. It's only been out a week, and nobody has it outside of Philadelphia. Great idea, eh, sis?" "Who embroidered that?" "Fannie; great scheme." His sister curled her lips. "I don't like it," said she.—Philadelphia Newt. For Baby's Mamma, Never tickle a child. It is dangerous, and reduces vitality. Any unnatural emotion must be avoided. The more quiet and free from excitement a child is kept'the better for the child's health, strength, and mental vigor. If there is iruch sickness about the neighborhood boil the water which is used in baby's food, for boiling kills all the animal cube contained in the water. Cool it before using. For headache or any form of indigestion drink hot water, half a pint at a time if possible. Give children oranges beforo breakfast in the spring time. It is better than sulphur doses or any spring medicines. Use cream, with hot water and sugar, in place of condensed or natural milk, as it is more easil}' digested than milk. If hot water is added then it will not require any warming process* whereby it may come in contact with metal. Warm the food by placing Viottie or cup in water to heat ft with :ho water.

In the spring lot the child take his out-door walks in the afternoon, in tiie autumn let him go out in the forenoon. The spring morning partakes of the preceding season; the afternoon, of the coming season. Imautumn the morning is more like summer; the afternoon like Winter. The whole bath is to be preferred to the partial bath. Ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit must be the degree of heat, to be reduced as the child grows dder. If the child does not sleep well give him a bath before going to bed. It is an excellent sedative.— Woman.

About a year ago Warden Hatch of the Jackson prison frequently saw suspicious persons hanging about the cell block, and was convinced that something unusual was going on. Ho made a careful examination and found thatasmall hole had been drilled in the wall near the grating on one of the hull windows in the e.ist wing. The hole contained a dynamite cartridge sufficient to blow out the grating. Tho work was not disturbed but a caretul watch was kept to capture the men. They never returned to complete their job. The warden believed the friends of Burnes, the gentlemanly burglar, were the prime movers iu the plot, and has since been on the lookout for thein. Some weeks ago Warden Hatch discovered that another plot had been planned. The keepers discovered, so it is reported, that dynamite and even revolvers had found their way bebind the walls. It was found that the articles were thrown over the walls at a certain place at night, and during the day a "lumper" would find them who would eventually turn them over to Latimer. The other morning a lumper was found who had aquautity of dynamite concealed in his blouse. He was taken in charge aud made a confession of the whole matter. Latimer s cell vv-is searched, and Warden Hatch had the prisoner locked in one of tho solitary cells. Warden Hatch was interviewed, but would say little regarding the matter. He has been working ou tho case ;;nd has a strong clue, and thinks he will bo able to locate the accomplices.in the plot. He does not believe -that Latimer in the father of the scheme, but believes it is the same gang that tried to blow up the east wing some time ago. Those who planned the scheme evidently availed themselves of Latimer's money. The warden was asked what Latimer had to say for himself, but this he did not wish to make public at present. He said the evidence was overwhelmiug against him, and he believed that Lattuier would make a confession. He further stated that it would be some time before the prisoner would have another opportunity to plan the destruction of the state prison. Latimc^ has attempted to secure a number of revolvers, but how successful ho was is ouly known by the prison officials. Liitimer has been an unusually well-behaved prisoner, and until recently has never made thcleast trouble. Two weeks ' ago he was given a plain gray suit in place ot the stripe for good behavior, aud was known as one of the ''good m e n . " Of late he has appeared very happy, so much so, in fact, that the officers began to be a little suspicious, believing that a secret of some sort was behind his ever-winning smile. The plot was a bold one, and would un doubtedly been carried out at a time when rt— would have resulted fatally to .many of his fellow-convicts. A OARING STAGE ROBBERY. The Highwayman Operates Successfully in Michigan. The moat daring robbery ever committed on the Gogebic range occurred tive miles from Bessemer shortly before noon Aug. 26. The Bessemer stage left Gogebic Lake that morning with five passengers—four Chicago bankers, whose names were not learned, and A. Kleschbein of Belleville, 111. When two miles out a man stepped from a thicket and, aiming a revolver at the driver, commanded him to stop, at the same time pointing another revolver at the passengers, with the remark, " D o n a t e ; ! am collecting." "Here's mine," said one Chicago man, at the same time drawing a revolver and firing, but he missed. The highwayman emptied the barrels of both revolvers in rapid succession, shooting one Chicago man under the right eye and in tho left leg. He also shot A. Kleisehbein twice, both balls entering the loit thigh and penetrating upward to the bowels. He will probably die. The Chicago man was sent home. Tho man who fired the first shot at tho robber tired two more, but missed each time, though but five feet away. Fjeischbcin fell from the stage when shot, and the horses ran away with the rest of the party. The robber then went rip to the wounded man and took from him i'.il and a gold watch and chain. He lay two hours without assistance. He was taken to Bessemer, where he was .eared for in the hospital and made a sworn statement. The Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western railroad company offer a handsome reward for the capture of the robber. A description of the robber t dlics to the letter with that of the daring free-booter who went through a Northwestern train near Ellis Junction some time ago. Sheriff Dave Folley of !Bessemer at once organized a posse of a dozen men and has gone in pursuit. The chances for capture are very slim. Detroit's New I'nion Depot. Articles of incorporation have been filed in Lansing by "The Fort Street Union Depot Company" of Detroit, under the act authorizing the incorporation of companies for purchasing, constructing and maintaining union depots and stations for railroads, with the necessary powers for the man •igement and control of the same.

It will be built and owned jointly by the Canadian Pacific, the Wabash Western, and the Flint «& Pero Murquetto railroads, repre sentatives of which railroads have formed the new union station company. A Tramp Shot. Tony Fox, a well known farmer living near Coopersville, shot and killed a tramp, Aug. 25. Kichard D.

Fox and a number of other people were looking for the tramps, and overtaking this one were w a r r e d to keep their distance. Fox, who evidently believed that the tramp carried a revolver and would shoot, fired his rifle and put a bullet into the tramp's heart, killing him on tho spot.

Mellette, governor of tho territory of Dakota, has called an election by the people of the proposed state of North Dakota on the first Tuesday in October, 1NS9, for tho purposo of electing state, legislative, judicial and county officers, as provided for in said constitution, and for the purpose of voting upon the adoption or rejection of article two of the constitution en titled P r o h i b i t i o n , " which is submitted as a separate proposition; and, also, to vote upon the adoption or rejection of the constitution. New York democrats hold their state convention at Syracuse Oct. L James E. Campbell Chosen as Foraker's Opponent. The Platform Adopted. The Ohio state democrat convention w a s held in Dayton Aug. 28. The convention was called to order by Chairman Norton of the state central committee. Chairman Harter was introduced i.nd addressed the convention. Gen. McMahon, chairman of the committee on resolutions, theu appeared on the platform bearing in his hand the declaration of principles of the democracy of tho state. He said fn preface that he wished to say the p at form he would soon read was the unanimous expression of his committee; that it was a harmonious gathering that evolved this document, and that the resujt of their labors was a brief, concise statement as to what the democracy believed in. "This is brief,'' he said, "and requires but few words. It takes a prolix and tedious method when you want to say something that you do not believe, l i u t here is the platform :'' 1. The democracy of Ohio, in convention rssembled, approve the declaration of principles made by the national democracy in St. Louis in l.%Sf. and especially that part of it demanding reduction of tariff taxes. We will continue the battle for tariff reform until the cause of the people is triumphant. 2. We regard trusts, iu whatever form organized, as the legitimate result of our present tariff system; and wo demand the repeal of all tariff taxes that enable them to extort from the people exorbitant prices for the products they control. 3. We again acknowledge the groat debt of gratitude the uatiun owes to the heroes of the late war, and we doclare in favor of just, liberal and equit ible pension laws. 4. We denounce the republican administration for its repeated violation of its pledges in behalf of civil service reform. 5. We deuounce the present state administration as the most partisan, demoralizing aud extravagant in our history. We invite t h e careful investigation of all citizens into our tinancial affairs as shown by the official records. 0. We protest against the repeated enactment of laws vesting ihe appointing power in the governor, enabling him to control the local boards of our leading cities, While depriving them of self governmet, it constructs a vast political, machine that is at all times and, iu the hands of a partisan chief exccut-iv-ev-lias- become a positive menace to the people of the state. 7. The nomination of the governor of Ohio for a third ti-rm in violation of ad precedent by the notorious and disgraceful use of patronage ai bis command, is an outrage against the people and should be rebuked at the polls. S We heartly favor home rule in Ireland and we demand it also for Ohio. While favoring all laws that sacrc-dly protect the ballot box and the bonest voter, we demand the enactment of 1 iws that will enable our cities to choose their own servants an d control their own affairs. Then came the tight of tho day, the nomination for governor, Hon. Sam. F. Hunt, of Cincinnati, c; me forward to place in the race the name of James E.Campbell. Gen. C. Manderson, of Darko county, seconded Campbell's nomination. Martiu A. Koran of Cleveland, was greeted with applause as he come forward to present Virgil I'. Kline, of Cleveland. The speech of Mr, Koran was impressive and effective. The name of his c.ndidate was received with loud applause, but it came mostly from the Cuyahoga delegation. Campbell wi;s nominated for governor on the second ballot. Tho ticket was completed by the following nominations: Lieutenant governor, William Vance Marquis of Logan county ; judge of the supreme court, Martin Kollott of Washington county; state treasurer, W. E. Horden of Guernsey county; state com missioner of schools, Ch-»s. C. Miller of Putnam county; attorney-general, Jesse M. Lewis of Champaign county; member board of public works, Krand 'Reynolds of Hamilton county; clerk supremo court, I. J. G. Shoemaker of Seneca county. When the ticket was completed the convention immediately adjourned. Sentiment for Sarah. Gov. Waterman of California has written a letter to the attorney general of that state urging the dismissal of all proceedings against Justice i' ield for complicity in the shooting of Judge Terry. In his letter the governor says: "The arres^ of Hon. Stephen J. Field, justice of the supreme court of the United States, on the unsupported oath of a woman, who on the very day the oath was taken, and often before threatened his life, will be a burning disgrace to the state, unless disavowed.'' Sarah Althea, wife of the late Judge Terry, is out in a bitrer letter denouncing Attorney general Johnson for his interference in the case of Justice Field. It, is said that Judge Sawyer has grave doubts of the power of the federal courts to interfere in Nacle's case and that the deputy marshal will have to return to Stockton and stand trial in the state courts. Some of his friends assert that Terry's partisans will shoot him if he is returned to Stockton, but no one believes this. Sentiment has turned somewhat against Field because of his attacks on Sarah Althea and his evident desire to use federal power to protect Nagle. GENERAL.

Experiments here, says a Newport (Ky.) dispatch to the Now York Sun, have resulted iu an extraordinary discovery, if the statements made by thoge interested are correct The dkco*ery is that aluminum, which now- «Osta $20,000 a ton and is produced only in France, can be obtained anywhere by a most simple process and at less than one-hundredth part of the present expense. The importance of this discovery can be judged when it id recollected that aluminum is the most generally diffused metal on earth, and has all the beauty of silver, besides being nontarnishing, non-corrosive, more lasting than silver, with only one-fourth iu weight. In addition aluminum alloyed one-tenth of one per cent, with iron or steel increases the homogeneous and tensile strength of tlie metal nearly half, while for electro-plating purposes aluminum is superior to either gold or silver. The experiments began in an attempt to extract aluminum chemically from common clay and cryolite. This was accomplished in a novel manner, and the operators obtained thereby metallic aluminum, chemically pure. Their method was based upon the theory of substitution and smelting the ore in a water-jacketed steel furnace, a crucible being useless to resist the strong lluoride tluxes. When the mass was (putts liquid it was conveyed into a converter or covered slag pot holding about four hundred pounds, and the aluminum extracted therefrom by a syphon tap. The slag was returned to the furnace, serving the purpose of a lluxwilh more ore. This direct, continuous process obviated the necessity of the usual costly intermediary elements and made the aluminum about as cheap as couuer.

The native laborer at the present time in the diamond mines of Africa, through contaminating intluences, lias become an adept and will steal with an adroitness which almost delies detection. He u>es his nose, mouth, stomach, ears, toes and hair to conceal the diamonds that he steals and unless restricted to the compound walks homo at nightfall from the mine or from the sorting table singing with an air of abandon which would "deceive tho very elect," the diamond being all the while on his person. Again, if working on the depositing lloors, where the blue ground which contains the diamond is exposed to the action of the atmosphere, a diamond should happen to be turned up which could be seen at a glance was too large, or which there was no opportunity to secrete the wily savage would cove'r it up nonchalantly, but at the same time would arrange the lumps of "blue11 around in such" a mannerjhat when night came and he returned he could easily lind the spot and secure the precious stone for himself. Sometimes in mines where thoy are working deep another dodge would be resorted to. Suddenly, at a given signal, the whole gang working in one of the claims would yell out and jump as if the reef surrounding were falling. The overseer in charge would instinctively look ii]), while the hoy who had given the false alarm would coolly stoop down and pocket some large diamond which he had just unearthed. Many a beautiful diamond, too, has frequently been recovered from a native's pipe, which was diligently being puffed with all the air of innocenceand I have even heard' of goats feeding near the lloor set apart for the depositing of "blue stuff,1' being turned into accessories (after the fact), the hair of these animals affording hiding places for stolen diamonds, which wero thus carried into the "veldt,"1 beyond and refouud by the thief (his day's work being over) without any danger whatever of discovery. Generally speaking, the system ol searching thfi natives is as follows: On arriving at the searching house, they areeompelled to divest themselves of their ordinary garb and pass through a central compartment naked as they were born, after which they assume working suits, needless to say, absolutely pocketless. Their work over, they are Jirst searched in the claims by the overseers and then are examined by the searching officer. They are stripped perfectly naked and compelled to leap owjr bars and their hair,mouth, ears, etc., carefully examined—no particularly pleasant duty for the searcher when the thermometer stands at perhaps 100 degrees Fahrenheit in tho shade. Few diamonds, however, havo ever been found in the searching houses, but, of course, the search act* as a preventive against dishonesty.^- itoton Commercial iiulUtm. Special.

Mr. Converse is also a scientific wrestler. This will be no snide match, but each man will do his best to win the stakes. Admission 25 cents. -•-•- Another Fatal Accident. On Wednesday of last week, Mr. B< J. Appleton, who lives about five miles east of this village, came to town to purchase some provisions for threshers who were expected to be at his place on the following morning. While in town he became intoxicated and did not start for home until afternoon. WThen near the farm of M. A. Davis in Hamburg, on his return home, bis horses became unmanageable and began to ran. In turning a corner near Mr. Davis' barn the buggy was upset and Mr. Appleton was dashed against the fence with such force as to cause death in a few seconds. Mr. Davis on hearing the crash, hurried to the place, where he found the unfortunate man lying near the fence with blood gushing from his mouth, nose and ears- He picked lum up but life was extinct; He immediately notified the near n*ighbors, who assisted in conveying the dead man to his late home, where an inquest was held in the evening, wheu it was decided by the jury that was impanelled, that he came to his death by the rupturing of a blood vessel and concussion of the brain. The buggy, a heavy platform spring, was completely demolished, although the horses were but little injured. The deceased was a man who gained friends wher©- ever be went, was a good neighbor a n d was wdl liked by all who became acquainted with him. He leaves a loving wife and four children—one daughter and three sons—to mourn his sudden death. The funeral services were held in the Union church in Hamburg on Friday last, which was crowded with mourning friends and relatives/ Rev. 0. B. Thurston of this place, officiated. The remains were laid to res* in the cemetery near Chiton. The deceased was 44 years of a$e. 1 ' , » - . M A , J M „ . . ; •ff* » i . » .

Mr. Huntingdon, the financier, was born in Harainton, Ct., Oct. "22, 1821, where his father was a farmer and a manufacturer in a small n a y ; ho went to New York in 1836 with only a few cents in his pocket, anct now he is a millionaire, a railroad president, and one of the few men in this country who has out-manoeuvered J a y Gould. When gold was discovered in California in 1849, Mr. Huntingdon was a general mercbaat at Oneonta, y. Y. He shipped to San Francis JO, I.it did not succeed,and having- lost hL'( iiioney he worked his passage to Sacramento, where he met Mark Hopkins; they went into partnership and in time became known as one of the wealthies firms on the Pacific coast. Then aro e the question of trans-continental railroads, and it was, thanks to his indomitable energy, that the Pacific railroad was built. Major (Joreo, warden of the Texas penitentiary, claims to have not only made the ccmvfcfs under his care self-. supporting, but tiUO to have turned into to the state treasury t h o sum of $65,000 after paying all t h e costs of food, fuel, shelter and clothing. This amounts to $1590 profit for each convict employed. This result was achieved without in the least competing with free labor, the convicts being employed in raising sugar cane and refining the juice, a i industry entirely neglected in Texas. It this is true, it proves beyond a doubt that the sugar industry can bo made profitable in that btate. Certainly, if convicts can be made to earn $3^0 per man above the cost of their maintainance, then free white men may do much better, and sugar production can be made to pay heavy returns on the investment of capital and labor. There is an almost unlimited demand for tho product, Mexico has her trust problem to confront owing to the formation of syndicates controHing some of the leading commercial interests of that republic. Combines have been effected to corner all the sugar produced at native plantations, and agreements have been entered into by the cloth and cotton manufacturers to c u t down the production of their mills and to work olT their stocks on hand without a reduction of prico such as would follow were the supply not restricted. The Mexicans look with grave suspicion against what is called a pernicious American and European system- It remains to bo seen in what manner Mexico will meet the trust evil. It is not too much to expect that the republic will act summarily, and solve by a practical demonstration the most important commercial problem of the age. At last it is officially announced that the Johnstown relief fund, amounting to over a million and a half, has been distributed by the commission appointed by the governor of Pennsylvania, It will, however, strike the thousands of contributors to the fund that the process by which the commission has carried out its task of relief is anything but business like. Of course there are excuses and explanations for tho long delay, but to say the least it is anything but commendable for t h e commission to hold back this money from tho people justly en. titled to it fully three months after it haa been subscribed to relieve sufier intfrmd want. Prefciitorio America. The discovery of extensive ruins, apparently not heretofore described by travelers, in Mexico and Central America has ju«t been announced. Thay embrace among other interesting works a great stone-paved highway, extending from the ancient city of Palenque, in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, into the territory of Gu teninla, and thence across Yucatan to the sqa on the east coast, opposite to the Island of Cozumel. This road which stretches across the; country in a curve from southwest to northeast, was more than 400 miles long. It is bordered nearly all the way with the ruins of houses, and at frequent intervals were cities of great size, the remains of which are plainly evident, while massive stone buildings, such as temples and palaces, are in an excellent state of preservation. The systems of construction are of tho most .enduring nature, the architecture is peculiar with elaborate ornamentation in carving and sculpture. In tho sculptured monuments are seen tho faces of tho red m^n or Indians, bearded white men and negroes, showing that the artists were familiar with those several types ot tho human race. Tho region in which all these interests ing remains of an ancient civilization are found is covered by dense tropical forests and seldom traversed even by the native tribes that thinly inhabit tho country. The latest explorers roughly estimate that tho ruins represent a population of 30,000,000 people, i t is certain that Central America, Peru and Mexico were once seat* of powerful civilized nations, whoso achievements in building and eagiuooriu<ir challenge admiration even at this day. Xhey conducted agricultural »nd mining in- | dustries on a large scale and possessed enormous quantities of gold and silver. That they had communication with tho white races of Europe and the negro of Africa is evident from tho reproduction of their forms and foaturo3 in sculpture. The Greeks possessed traditio ns of this tropical region with its cities and temples, its palaces and gardens, but the (Greeks were poor sailors, and their otOries . of the gardens of the H e s p e - rides of the West with their groves of trees bearing golden apples, guarded by dragons, were simply the remains of accounts that had como to them from others. The Phoenicians, who were the greatest maritime and colonizing people of antiquity, possibly had crossed the Atlantic or had been driven westward by storms, and might have had irregular intercourse with those ancient Americans, but whatever knowledge of the New World existed in early ages it was wholly lost until re-discovered by Columbus. Norwegian jarls had settled in Iceland and sailed to Greenland live centuries"boforo Columbus, but they had no knowledge of the civilized nations of tropical America. Goologlsts have declared that this new world presents the oldest of tho continonts, so that there was hero a grand field for the subsistence of populations, and for the development of civilization from the earliest times, and wo may well imagine that nations and cities had grown up here and were destroyed, the one after the other, as had been the case in Europe and Asia. Besides what had been lost, the Spaniards found here four centuries ago extensive and elaborate civilizations possessed by numerous and powerful nationalities. We would suggest in this connection, that tho world's fair to be held in commemoration of the discovery of America, should be peculiarly utilized to illustrate the ancient civilization of America. There should bo presented not only as many actual relics as possible of the lost nations; but t h e i r temples and pyramids and other structures should be carefully copied and reproduced in special constructions. These matters are of vastly more interest to us than are the explorations of Babylon and Troy, that havo occupied so much of the world's attonion and money.—New Orleans Picayune. Pasteur's Treatment of Hydrophobia. M. Pasteur is responsible for thf statement that out of 7,000 people who havo undergone his treatment for hydrophobia the**1* total number of deaths has been seventy-one, or 1 per cent Two hundred and fourteen of these patients were English subjects, treated in Paris. Of these there were five unsucc essful cases after completion of the treatment and two more during treatment. The methods followed have been continually undergoing improvement, so that last year, out of a total of sixty-four English persons bitten by mad dogs and treated in Paris, not a single case has sucoumbed, although ten were bitten on the head and others on the limba, often to a very serious extant. " D E A D CINCH ON R O U L E T T E . " A G o t h a m M i l l i o n a i r e D e c l a r e s H e Hasl D i s c o v e r e d a P r e c i o u s S e - c r e t , A millionaire owner of stocks who is well known in this city and Newport and is fond of taking a little llyer now and then at gaining just for recreation has a big sensation in store for Gotham gamblers, says the New York Sun. I t is nothing less than a "dead cinch" on roulette and all other gam^s in which the chances of wining or losing ore evon. Tho news ot tho discovery is said to have made a big sensation among some lively club men in the Nineteenth procinet, among whom the millionaire is held in high esteem. The "cinch" consists of an arithmetical progression play of sets on live single numerals. It is alleged by the millionaire that it will stand to win $25 on every series of plays in which it is used at roulette or any game on t h e odd or evon principle. He makes his bets by adding two of the five figures together and staking the aggregate amount in money on the turn of the wheel. Every winning b e t knocks out two ot the figured from t h e series and every loss adds one to i t Play is kept up until enough successes have been made to wipa out the entire series of figures. When this is accomplished he is sure, it is said, to find him- j self a winner. It is declared furthermore for this new discovery that it knocks all other systems of play or so-called "cinches" endwise in the important particular that a crooked roulette boarj cvn not beat it even if the player were unfortunate enough to stack up against that much-dreaded swindling apparatus. The only annoyance that the player of, it encounters is that onco in a great while the player may get near his limit in reaching the winning of $25. The millionaire played tho "cinch" alluringly Wednesday night to-' the amusement of a lot of personal friends, making his bets on "head and tail1' on tho toss of a 50-cent silver piece. He played dozens of series and the five mystic numerals, and with unvarying regularity the tally kept demonstrated him a winner to the tune of $2o. Ho varied his bets from "head11 to "tail"' as fancy prompted, and still the result was monotonously victorious for tho "cinch" plan. The millionaire said ho hadn't tried the scheme on faro yet, but that ho fancied it might work at that game, too. provided "splits" were counted as losses in playing tho method and tho next bet made accordingly. The eves of the witnesses of the workings of the "cinch" sparkled with pleasure as they studied the new idea, and they m do arangements to stock their pocket-books and start in for an attack on the roulette wheel as soon as the present rigid embargo on the gambling- houses is liftod. A Marine Monitor. The largest sturgoon ever seen in this part of the country was sent up by Otto Peters, of Deer Island, to Frank C. Barnes, Saturday. It weighed 950 pounds and was 11 feet 4 inches long, The largest -seen here before this weighed about 900 pounds, Displayed on the sidewalk at Third and Morrison street, it attracted a great crowd, among whom were several good,.singlehanded fish liars. One told about seeing a sturgeon at the Cascades which was 14 feet long and weighed 300 pounds. But, as usual, the man who told his story first stood no show, for another fellow came to the front and told about a sturgeon he saw up in the Snake River which was 18 feet long and weighed 1,500 pounds. And then another fellow started in to tell about a sturgeon he saw up in Alaska, but the crowd got scared for fear that lightning would strike them and walked away, and the Alaska liar got left.— Portland Oregonian. In Search of Information. A woman with a profusion of silk dress and rhinestone jewelry, accompanied by a boy about 8 years old, boarded a parlor car at a small town beyond Syracuse, and they had scarcely got seated when the mother began to talk about her threo trunks, and papa, and the horses and carriage, and wonder if they would hit the Cape May train when they reached New York. The boy didn't have much to say, but would look about the car with tho liveliest curiosity, evidently having entered one for the first timo. By and by he blurted out. "Ma! ma!" " W h a t darling?" "Is this a parlor car?" "Certainly, dear." " W h a t makes them call it a parlor car?" "Becauso it is furnished as grand a9 a parlor." "Well, I should say it was!" ho gasped as ho looked around.

The tide of fashion which ebbed away from Washington at the beginning of summer has flowed back, back i V l ,, ,. ,. R , , . , i nke the discovery ot a new with the oyster and the months with the " R " on them. Houses arc being opened for the season and preparation being made for the winter campaign. Washington fashionables have not learned to stay in the mountains during' the late September and October to feel the sensitive dying of the summer and hear the fire crackling in the back log when nights grow cool. That is a fad they have yet to acquire. The Chinese minister will return, with suite, next week, and immediately thereafter will start for the Orient. The successor to the present minister has been named, but the date of his dep a r t u r e for America is not stated. The new minister will be accompanied here by his wife, the first" instance on record where a Chinese women of high case has been permitted to leave the Celestial Kingdom. Prior to this time such permission has never been granted and eyen the permission is a very great surprise to all persons acquainted with Chinese customs and government. The strict surveillance which is exercised over wives in the Celestial Kingdom will be carefully preserved here. The new envoy will be driven in a classed carriage, with his wife, to the legation house, where mad aim; will at once be installed in her apartments. She WYU not receive visitors nor go into society: Occasionally the minister, when madame's health absolutely demands it, will take his wife driving, but these drives will be few and far between, as long indoor life has accustomed these women to go without exercise or outdoor airing. The oyster season is always inaugurated in Washington with a tremendous eating of fried, stewed, steamed and raw oysters. The belated husband on his way home on the night 'of August 31, cunningly carries a box of fried oysters and fears nottlie wife's wrath. He even wakes her, if she has been asleep, to explain to her that he has not been at theodub this evening but has merely been i n a u g u r a t i n g the oyster season. What tons of oysters are eaten in Washington in a year. Everybody eats them from the dusky street, Arab sitting on the oyster wharf with a dozen stolen bivalves and an old pocket knife, to the aristocrat taking "a dozen and a small bottle" at Chamberlains. The tleet employed to bring oysters to Washington alone would make a fair sized navy. The average Washingtonian can eat oysters with relish every day as long as the season lasts. Heaven be merciful to the man who don't like oysters and is out late at night and hungry. In nine tenths of the restaurants he will lie told that. they are "just out" of this and that and th~e other but they have "oysters, sah." And he must, eat oysters or starve. So many ye.irs have passed since brave, dashing Fernando Wood went home to the still country that it is tilmost necessary to tell anyone except a New Yorker what the great mayor was. No man ever bad a belter control of New York City polities* He was almost without academic education but he was one of the finest natural orators that ever charmed an audience. When he first came to Congress his tall, handsome figure, his dash and his impetuous eloquence attracted the attention of both bouses. In resource he was inexhaustable. One day he stepped into a cigar store on Pennsylvania avenue with Henry Clay, who provided himself on his knowledge of tobacco Clay was watchi n g the deft workmen making cigars. "Those men are very skilful at thai work" remarked Clay. "Yes very," replied Wood, " b u t it doesn't look very difficult to do." "Sir, I think that to be one of the most cunning of trades," retorted the •Senator in his positive manner. ' O h , no," responded wood, " I believe I could make a cigar equally well."

Now, the foreman of that particular ^<injj; is a mild-manuered citizen and means to be patient and torbearing, but he is worried a good deal with questions and gels tired of answering them. In this particular case he told the countryman that lie was building" a wire fence.

STAGE ROBBER CAPTURED. Considerable Plunder Found In His Possession. Reimund Holzhay, the highwayman train robber who has operated in Northern Wia- -conBin and the upper peninsula of Michigan for the last eight months, is behind the iron bars of the Marquette county jail. He waa captured at Republic, a miniug town twenty miles west of Ishpeming, early on the morning of Aug. 31, by Marshal Glade of that village, asBitteu by E. K. Weiser, a justice of the peace. Examination of his pockets brought out in addition to the 44 caliber and 3S caliber revolvers captured by the marshal, three gold watches and three pocketbooks, one of which bore on the flop the name of A. G. Fleischbein. This book, containing $20. and one of the watches found on him, were what he obtained by the cold-blooded murder of Hanker FleiBehbein near Lake Gogebic. Another pocketbook contained promissory notes and other valuable papers. There was no name on it, but it was evidently the property of J. J. Law of St. Paul. The man was questioned and admitted that he waa the robber ot the Gogebic coach and that he murdered i> loisehbein. Holskay is about 27 years of age und speaks with a decided French accent. His operatious were begun iu Shiawassee county last w i n t e r , when he held u p the stage coach soveral times, merely ritliug the mail pouches of registered mail. When the government inspectors made it too hot for him he was hid by f rieuds and next appeared as a train robber at Ellia function. From there he was iigain unheard of until Aug. 7, when he robbed the Wisconsin Central sleeper, but was interrupted by the reporter who fired at him. He leaped from the car into the darkness and was again unheard of until the stage robbery of a few d a y s ago. On that occasion he killed Banker Fleichbein and wounded a Minneapolis man named Mukereeher. The latter fired four Bhols at him at live feet range, but did not touch him. Holshay then struck into the forest and it is supposed he was heading for the Mackinac division of the South Shore line, where there would have oeen an'excellent field for plying his work. There can be no Question that ho is the robber of the railroads as well tisthe stago. He practically admitted as much and the description of the train robber tits him exactly, even to his clothing. The New Law About Wills. Act No. U')S ot the late legislature goes into effect October 1, and m ikes some radical changes in the law for the distribution of estates where no will is left. Under the old law, if a man died before his wife, she had only a life interest in his property if there was no issue, and on her death it went to his heirs.. The new law on the point ro.ids as follows: "if the intestate shall leave a husband or widow and no issue, one-half of tho estate -of such intestate shall descend to such husband or wife, and tho remainder to the father und mother of the intestate in eijuul s h a r e s ; or if thero bo but one of the parents living, then to the survivor alone; and if the intestate bhalL le ive no issue, husband or widow, his or her estate shall descend to the father and mother in equal shares. and if there be but one of the parents living, then to the survivor alone; and then if the intestate shall leave no issue, father or mother, his or herestate sh ill descend subject to the provisions herein made for the widow or husband, if a widow or husband survive the deceased, in enual shares to his or her brothers and sisters and children of deceased brothers and sisters by right of representation. Tho provision's herein made shall be in lieu of dower." Another change is that i{ the intestate shall leave a husband or wile and no issue, or other lineal descendants, nor father, mother, brother or sister, the estate shall descend to such husband or wile. This shuts out distant relatives und allows the husband to inherit the wife s individual property. In case a person dies leaving no kindred the estate goes to the state for tho benefit of the primary school fund. Crops and the Weather. The weekly crop bulletin of tho Michigan weather service gives the mean daily temperature for the week ending Aug. '.i[ at 7U.4U, or 3.5° above the normal. The -average total rainfall was .0(H) inch, which is .04 below the average. The rainfall was entirely local in its character, and fell in but few sections. The drouth continues in the southern portion of the state, and is be ginning to have a serious effect on all growing crops. Corn, potatoes and pastures are suffering seriously, Some of tho c<;rn is being cut for fodder.and is being fed to stock in places where the drouth has continued longest. The condition in the northern section of the state is much better, as well distributed local showers have been of great benefit. Water in Lapeer is very low and stock is being driven to the river to be watered. The conditions at the close of the month are much the same as they were at the close of the month last year, except that the drouth has not continued so long, and there have been a few more well distributed local showers, which have stayed the damaging effects of the drouth. The Traffic Convention. At the traffic convention held at Sault Ste. Marie a few days ago, the following resolutions were unauimusly adopted: Resolved, That we hereby affirm adherence to the principle of unrestricted international railway transportation and demand of our congressional representatives that no change should be made or restrictions imposed except by the conference and consent of the people of the two countries interested. Resolved, That a free and cheap system -of international transportation is a fundamental and necessary principle of public and individual prosperity. Resolved, That we request our senators and representatives in congress to opposo any legiBlatKmr restricting present international transportation facilities as injurious to the interests of the people and burdensome to the producer and consumer.

A mock marriage ceremouy.just brought to light in Fiudlay, O., has created a sensation.

Two months ago Early suggested to the young lady that they be nianied clandestinely that evening. Sho consented and they went to the house of a friend, where the wedding ceremony w. s performed by a man introduced by Early as John Lindsey. justice of the peace, and who BO signed himself. The marriage was kept secret. Two weeks ago B e r t Early suddenly disappeared, and the young lady then informed her parents of the wedding. They mude an investigation, and found that there was no justice of the peace by the name of Lindsey, and that no marriage license was procured. Miss Lenby left for Toledo to find nor betrayer, and in this way the story leaked out. Officers are trying to fled tho identity of tho pretended Justice. Neither Will Get Her.

CHAPTER VIII. LL through that wild wet night gangs of men with drags seached the river at difforent places; and, as the gray wintry daylight stole again over the land, tho body was found at some distance from the spot where poor Tom had jumped in, caught in some water weeds— or they might never have been able to regain it, the wind and c u r r e n t being against them. I h e body was carried up to t h e Manor at once, whore Captain Tregelles had been hours before and had been attended by the village doctor. T h e struggling in tho water had displaced t h e captain's arm, and opened the wound in t h e shoulder afresh. Nina Derwent, who had soon recovered consciousness*, was safe at Wistaria Villa; and all t h o u g h ' s and anxieties had been centered on what t h e drags might b r i n g up from the river's depths. The inmates of the Manor had known long ere this t h a t it must bo a lifeless body, but, all the same, when it came there was as much terror and grief and consternation as though t h e r e had been ground for hope. Mr. Berkeley, in particular, was almost mad with sorrow and remorse, accusing himself unjustly, and declaring that, had he not been so harsh with his son, Tom would never have brokaway from his inliuence, that girl ~ d have had no power over him, he would never have come to this. •, as ovorybody had blamed Nina along, oven though the change in Tom was so wonderful, so everybody blamed her now, and looked upon h e r as the cause of t h e tragedy t h a | / h a d thrown the whole village into mourning. Poor wild Tom h a d been/blamed, scorned, and reviled—pepjplo had looked shocked to lind themselves in t h e same room with him. hut now ho lay dead they forgot ail his sins, and talked in hushed voices of his handsome face and sweet smile and the disposition that wcjtild never romeraber an offence, Mafiy went lo weep wiih his sorrowing/family, and all with one accord avoided Wistaria Villa, where was t h e woman whom they called his destroyer—not because she was so unfortunate as to fall into tho river— they were not so unreasonable as t h a t ere% in their grief—but because s h e had encouraged the lad, while to unchan ed eyes it was plain that he had not had a chance beside his cousin. :, Mrs. Stephenson was frightened she found t h a t nobody came her, while all the rest of tho vil- £ « r e flocking together in sorrowot a t her neighbors'. She f so coldly roceived t h a t ^ ^ ome again crying, and h a d inWrview with hor guest, details of which wore never known outside t h e family; b u t they served as an excuse for Miss Derwent to take h e r departure. She must have wished for such an excuse, or she would never have allowed a few angry words to have driven her a w a y at such a time, when she, above others, ought to have shown grief hy with t h e bereaved family t h e inquest was ovor she. denly and quietly that t h e t generally known for some <lay». The particulars of t h e catastrophe were repeated clearly and consecutively a t t h e inquest, chiefly by Captain Tregelles, who was ablo to go down stairs to attend it. Ho and Miss Dorwenthadbeen walking out together that afternoon, and. on t h e rain ceasing, tended their stroll to tho river, g to see how high tho wator had Walking along the batik—she the water and holding his right a r m , t h e left being disabled and in a Bllng, or he would have placed her Inside— she disengaged h e r hand for a few moments to arrange her veil, a n d a violent gust of wind blew her into t h e water before his eyes, h e making an ineffectual attempt to seize h e r dress. He h a d never dreamed of t h e possibility of such a thing happening, or h e would h a v e taken precautions. He a t once called loudly for help; h e could not swim, and one a r m was useless; but he supposed h e must h a v e jumped in after her with an idea of trying to save h e r , as he found himself in the water. H e never even succeeded in touching h e r ; all he could do was to shout again for help, though h e did not think either of them would be got out alive. Then he heard, faintly, amid Miss Derwent's cries, his cousin's voice callingi him by name, and theu a splash, after which h e knew no more until h e found himself in bed in his uncle's house. * Miss Derwent corroborated h i s story in low constrained tones, not raising h e r veil while she remained in the room. Faith told h e r tale as briefly as she could there; but at home she told her uncle the Vicar all—all t h a t had happened on that wet afternoon when Tom and she had stood togetner and watched his last hope snatched away by the careless kiss of the man whom he worshipped as his hero; and the Vicar told Mary, bidding h e r repeat it to h e r brother when he should be able to bear it: for, besides his physical injuries, Captain W a r i n g was completely bowed down with grief, mingled with remorse at his cousin's sad fate. "Of course I have seen that I was wrong without your telling me t h i s , " he replied, when she told him, very gently and sorrowfully. " B u t w h o ever thought it would end like this? I saw in a very short time how much she was worth, and, if I thought about him at all, 1 thought I should be doing him a good turn in diverting h e r thoughts from him. I had to be careful myself not to get entangled—rshe was sharp, and no mistake!"- **You ought to have told him just what you thought of her.'" 4 'He would only have knocked me down!" "No, not in your disabled condition. You ought to have told h i m how she allowed you to make love to her. And oh, Waring, if you had been different yourself—better, steadier—he would have been so too! He thought all th.6' world of you; and had you frankly declared to him your opinion of h e p a n d confirmed it by avoiding hor society yourself, his faith in her myit have been shaken, and all t h i s ^ o u l d not have happened." / Captain Tregelles d i d / not answer, but sat still in his invalid chair, looking very weak and p,ale and at least ton years older. The examination of Tom's body revealed the faeX that death had not been caused / b y drowning, but by heart disea/e, as the doctor had all along suspected. He was a first-rate s w i m m e r r a n d ;hts-fairttrtr-to^*mpp«tt*^ iiLihQ.iirut. hint, ftt. [ after his second plunge into the water couldothorwise hardly have been satisfactorily accounted for. And now the doctor told Tom's secret, which riad never seemed <o cloud his b r i g h t life, but which he must often have thought of. He had suffered from violent palpitation of the heart for some months, but had said nothing to anyone, until, after an unusually severe attack, ho consulted the doctor, but enjoinod him to secrecy, as he "did not want to be fussed with." Whon the doctor repeated those words of Tom's, Mr. Borkeley burst out crying like a child, and said he would give twenty years of his life to have his boy back for ono week, just to bo kind to him. The doctor's first examination ha'd made him very doubiful as to whether Tom's life would be extended beyond a few years; but he did not tell him this, and at first he did not with the news since they could do nothing; but h e afterwards changed his mind about this, and was only waiting a good opportunity to tell Mr. Berkeley, unknown to Tom. T h e lad had had an attack once in his presence, when h e had been unconscious for several minutes. All hx) could do for him was to tell him to take life as easily as possible and avoid excels in all things. Tom's previous troubles, together with the shock of discovering his friends in such imminent danger, and then t h e exertion of battling against tho stream with a helpless burden, had no doubt combined to bring on a violent fit of palpitation which had ended his l i f e in a moment; and, had not tho shepherds a p - peared just when they did, Captain Tregelles must have lost his life also, since there was no ono else to s a t e him. Mr. Berkeley bitterly reproached the doctor for keeping t h e secret for one hour, and he was grieved a t not having noticed his son sufficiently of late to know whether he was looking ill or well. Then the mattor ondod so far as tho investigation went; but Tom's young life and sad but heroic end made an impression upon all hearts that was not easily or quickly effaced. Aftor all, he had his wish— it was the death ho would have chosen. Ho died nobly, in tho performance of a brave action, as his ancestors had died, upon whose courageous lives and heroic deaths he bad mused so often—and, more than that, he gave bis life for her whom be loved more t h a n life. The greatest comfort his friends had was the knowledge t h a t , Tom had died, us he h a d lived, in ignorance of Nina Derwent's un worthiness. * * * • Captain Tregelles was so effectually changed for t h e better by the tragedy of t h a t February afternoon t h a t t h r e e years afterwards Mr. Berkeley ! had no objection to Agnes1 engaging : herself to him, only stipulating t h a t their m a r r i a g e should not take place until she should be of age. The Captain loved Agnes, not only as his promised wife and t h e loveliest girl he had ever seen, but as the sister of T o m . During those three years nothing had been heard of Nina Derwent. She had left some debts behind her in t h e neighboring town that Mrs. Stephenson had been forced to pay, since h e r letters to h e r aunt's address in Londou were returned marked " n o t known," which caused a good deal of doubt as to t h e truth of the statements she h a d made while in Westcott. Nothing was seen or heard of h e r until, three years later, Captain Tregelles, in London, on the occasion of choosing a betrothal-ring to adorn his sweetheart's finger, met her in t h e street, looking very shabby and shivering with t h e cold. All h e r power of fascination was gone, and she had evidently suffered great privation. I t was she who saw him and stopped him—ho would not have recognized her, she was so altered. She told h i m a sad story of want and misery—how she was married to a man who illused her, a low sharper whb k e p t a private gambling house, and whose character was becoming known; so t h a t more t h a n once they had lost all they had. He had turned her out of doors the night befo/e, and threatened to murder h e r if she came back. Captain Tregelles asked h e r where her uncle and aunt were, and she replied that her aunt was dead, and h e r uncle would have nothing to do/with her, So the Captain gave Iver a twenty-pound note—for Tona's7 sake h e told her, because he knew it would have grieved t h e lad to/see her fallen so low. / Waring would have ended his story there; but Agnes had not heard enough, and enquired bluntly whether Nina had cried when he mentioned Tom's name, or seemed to care at all, and if she had asked after his family. To these questions he replied " N o , " turning away his head and speaking very low because he was ashamed to have to say it. It did seem n bitter and sorrowful thing that she whom Tom loved best, and whose life ho had saved, should be tho only one who failed to love and revere his memory. About this time tho curate—a new acquisition to the village since t h e Vicar's marriage—seemed much occupied with the contemplation of Faith's anything more than friendship from him, she hurried away to Mary, who was rocking her littlo son's cradle, and kept so close to her side for tho future, whenever the presumptuous young man p u t in an appearance, t h a t he never had a second chance of alluding to t h e subject. To h e r all thoughts of love seemed like sacrilege. Her heart was buried in Tom's grave, and all her lonely but useful lifo was lived in memory of him. There is a marble tablet in Wescott church—among others which tell of the gallant deeds and heroic deaths of the famous Berkeleys its fresh black and red lettering stands out distincti y - . "In loving and honorable memory of THOMAS TOLUBIOFF BERKELEY, Who, at the age of eighteen years and six months, met his death in a brave attempt to save life in the river at this place, Febuary 7th,IS—," S U N N I T E S A N D SHEITES. T h o T w o G r e a t R e l i g i o u s D i v i s i o n s of t h e P e o p l e of I s l a m . There are among t h e Moslems two great divisions, t h e Sunnites and t h e Sheites, says t h e Cornhill Magazine. T h e Turks a r e all Sunnites, the Persians all Sheites. They differ in that t h e latter regard All, the nephew and sonin- law of Mohammed, with greater love than they do Mohammed himself. Ali married Fatima, Mohammed's daughter and by h e r h a d two sons, Hassan and Hussein. It is said that Mohammed predicted their death; and indeed one day Ali and h i s two sons and a large number of friends and adherents were massacred. T h e Sheites declare t h a t Mohammed encompassed their death, and to this day the two sects hate each other even more thnn they do t h e Christians, T h e anniversary of this fatal day is celebrated religiously every year among t h e Sheites. They g a t h e r in groups around a certain man, who, seated in their midst on some elev ted spot, begins t h e recital in a monotone of t h e tragedy. Gradually he warms up, he becomes excited, he throws up his hands, he eve>n sobs with anguish as he proceeds, and graphically describes t h e misfortunes of tho illfated Ali and his two sons. And his a u d i e n c e / w i t h downcast eyes reverently shaded with their hands, follow with all absorbing interest his words. Presently they begin to sob, atid finally to cry aloud with anguish, and beat their heads and breasts and tear their hair. The reciter sways his audience with thronging words ot passion, with soft whispers of entreaty, with broken ejaculations of agony. Then suddenly his mood changes. What has passed has been a confession of their sin and a confession of t h e justice of any punishment that might fall on them. For the Sheites were originally Sunnites and approved of the death of Ali, and it was only later that they became Sheites and seceded from the Sunnites, and by this ceremony they lament over and expiate the sins of their forefathers. And now succeeds earnest prayer with upraised hands to God to receive Ali and his sons into favor ;;nd to pardon them in his mercy. Then, when this is finished, nargilehs or hubble-bubbles are handed round, and the whole company enjoy a quiet smoke to calm their excited feelings. In some places knives are made use of and fearful wounds seif-innicted. and in some cases death has resulted. Last year (1888) the anniversary was on Sept. 10. But with tho pilgrims we had this ceremony continually, night and day, until it became a nuisance, and orders were given that after 8 p. m. no more noise should be made. Yet, strange to say, while accusing him of this murder and condemning his action, tho Sheites do not deny that Mohammed IfHfche -true-mwl-ottly -prophet DLAXQ With the Sunnites Ali and h i s sons are of no account. . , , , . , . , ., The strangers who visit the church t 8 e o t h e uao of wtertmnff-his W J ^ f always want to know the story of t h e young life that was thus suddenly ended, which tho old sexton is as ready to toll them as they are to hear; and so Tom won for himself what ho so ardently desired—a noble fame and an honorable remembrance.

There should be Etringent laws to prevent trainmen working over time, except in times of extraordinary emergency. FARM AND HOME. Unprofitable Fsrtn Stock. No farmer would thfnkof conducting ordinary farm operations with no better implements than could be had forty or fifty years ago. The strong competition to which farmers everywhere are subjected obliges them to use tho best implements that can be purchased. Expensive harvesting machinery, often used only a few days in a year, is unhesitatingly bought under this necessity of getting the crop secured a t least coat per acre. Whatever saves labor must bo had, no matter what the cost may be. Has there been a corresponding improvement in the average farm stock of tho country, as compared with that of agricultural implements? In somo respects there has boon, and its appreciation by farmers generally is now what is most needed to make farming a profitable busi ness. Take for illustration the dairy business, in which improvement of cows for milk and butter production has been greater than the improvement in any other furm stock. How large a proportion of tho ordinary class of farmers keep better cows than did their fathers and grandfathers? When only native stock was kept, there were even then some fairly good cows, capable of yielding 300 pounds or more of butter per year. It used to bo a matter of prido among good fai'inoi's to get the best. To be sure, tho best did not cost so very much more than the a v e r a g e Until stock breeding and importing was made a business by itself, the superior value of the best cows over poor or ordinary animals was never half appreciated as it should be. Farmers talk about the fancy prices for blooded and registered stock. Sometimes prices may be run up to fancy rates, but in the great majority of instances the seemingly high prices are based only on careful computation of what the cow and h e r progeny can do. Keeping the best stook Ought to be really considered a labor-saving policy. There seems to be such a craze for anything that will save labor t h a t this view may cause many to look more kindly on it. What is the use of caring for and feeding two cows for the milk and butter that one should give, ov double tho stock of any kind thut is needed? Only in the very rudest and most barbarous agricultural age are men reckoned rich by the number of the stock they possess. T!u days of ranching and huge herds, cheaply kept, are in this country happily nearly over. Henceforth quality r a t h e r than numbers will be the test of value. In most of the Eastern and Middle States only the very best stock will pay its way. Farmers in these sections feel keerrry- tittn r~ need—of - more—bamy a-rd manure. As they havo not much money, they load themselves with stock at low priced, and therefore necessarily of so poor quality that it does not pay its way through the year. Few farmers can afford to keep such stock. None can afford to keep much of it. The more a farmer has of stock that costs more in keeping than it brings to him, the worse his financial condition grows. As the farmer becomes discouraged he loses his ambition. Convinced that "farming don't pay," he does not try to do as well as he might with his present facilities. The largo amounts of poor dairy butter brought to market every year have this origin. Of course keeping better stock will require considerable capital. Sell p a r t of the land and use it in that way. With cows that yield double or more the t»ilk or butter of the average cow, twice as many men can be engaged in dairying on the same amount of land. This means concentration, and not only greater present profit, but also a rise in the value of land. Improved harvesting machinery, enabling one man to do the work of eight or ten, tempt jd to increasing the size of farms, with a ruinous increase in area sown to grain beyond the power of the farmer to properly manure and cultivate. In every aspect it can bo looked at, the substitution of profitable for unprofitable stock seeme the pressing necessity of American farmers. It is only by keeping the best stock that a farmer can afford to keep enough to restore lost soil fertility. When ho gets the best stock he can buy feed to supplement that grown on the farm, and yet get the manure pile free of cost. As long as he keeps only poor farm stock, the home-made manure may very possibly be, and often is, much dearer than the most costly commercial fertilizers.—American Cultivator. Cutting up Corn. Which is the better plan of doing this depends considerably upon circumstances. If cut and properly cared for it makes a very good feed, but it is often fco case that through improper management tho quality falls considerably short of this, to say tho le.iet To wait until the,corn is well matured, and the lower blades all dried up, and then cutting and set up in small shocks, so that a good portion of the fodder will bo exposed to the elements until it is needed for feeding, will give a feed of a very poor quality. If fodder is to remain out in the field, the better plan of managing is to cut low, so t h a t in standing up the better part of t h e foliage will be well protected, at leist from wet, and set up in large shocks, so that there will be as small an amount as possible exposed to the sun, rain, wind and snow. As ordinarily managed with western farmers, there is a very large amount of waste with the fodder. A failure at the start to cut at the right stagd in order to secure t h e largest amount of nutriment and then to store so that the fodder is preserved in a good condition or to feed out in such a way as to lesson the waste. If the fodder is put in small shocks and then shucked out after standing a month or six weeks, and then is shucked out and either left lying down or is again set up there is an increased loss; then if it is hauled out and scattered in the road or upon a hisjh, dry place, so that whatevertmanuri.il value might bo secured is lost, and the fodder is wasted to a more or less extent by the stock tramping over it. Tho value derived from the fodder is very small, so much so that considering tho actual amount of benefit derived it is questionable whether it can by any means be called a che <p food. It is true that tho majority of western farmers, especially, are not provided with sufficient storage room to put all the fodder under sheltez-. Yet it may be stored so that it will keep in much better condition than to leave it in the field. Fodder can bo stacked up convenient to the feeding lots or stables, be fed out in racks or mangers, avoiding a large per cent, of the waste in this way, and then if care is taken in the management to save all the manure, a sufficient amount of this can be secured to pay well for the work of feeding out. The farmer who is feeding any considerable number of stock with fodder will nearly always find it profitable to cut the fodder before feeding: the less waste an.l the easier handling of the manure will make the investment profitable. Good fodder fed properly makes a good feed, and if properly managed is a cheep food, but like other materials if the most benefit is derived good care must lie taken to have as good a quality as possible, and in proportion as a failure is made to secure this the full value of the fodder as a feed is lost. — Practical Farmer. - i ' ' » r m -Xfrt<iHi, - If you can't plow your land to kill weeds mow them down, which will prevent them from going to seed. Under no circumstances allow a singlo weed to seed. , After observations among hundreds of silos, and hearing the testimony of the owners, John Gould concludes that there is no necessity of ever husking corn to be fed upon the farm, when tho silo, with its later ideas of filling, preserves the grain so perfectly and gives such satisfactory results. Bones may bo reduced by first pounding them and moistening the mass. Gradually ndd sulphuric acid, stirring while so doing1, and the bones will be dissolved. The proportions are 40 pounds suphuric acid to 100 pounds of bones. An open well will soon be the resort of toads at this season, and if covered the-work of so doing cannot be done too carefully. The curbing of the well should be laid in cement, and extend two feet above the top of the ground, upon which heavy boards should be fastened if a pump is used. As a rule while clover springs up on land that has been well dressed with wood ashes, and though it affords excellent pasturage it is a very persistent weed if it is allowed to grow where it is not wanted. Cutting it off only causes it to grow moro vigorously. It should be pulled up by hand from among the rows of vegetables. The time for corn planting varies with tho latitude, and also depends much upon the weather. When tho days are mild and tho ground warm is a safe rule, wherever that may be, in all localities. Three conditions are essential to the production of a paying crop of corn, namely, good seed, a rich friabJ' oil and thorough tillage. / h e Hoimoholtl.

"Do bees select their homo before swarming?1 ' is a question that is of at least somo importance to the whole bee-keeping fraternity. The loss of a great many swarms is vested hero. I do not know whether all swarms send nut spies or not, but even inasmuch ns one swarm does, we will take it for granted that all that swarm under a normal—eetnli-tioH--will—de—tlte-samer though, in my opinion, they do not all succeed before swarming. For live successive years I placed in a certain oak tree a box or nail keg, and every year except one there came a swarm into those kegs and boxes, As I was plowing corn or making hay e.ich season near this tree, I could seo quite easily just about what was going on during nearly all tho swarming season. At first I would seo perhaps one bee, after that the number would increase, and one not posted would bo very apt to think that there was a swarm in the keg. They would usually protect and clean this keg from one to three days before they would take full possession; at other times they would com i in great numbers, and in due season disappear, in which case they had been captured, or found more suitable quarters. Placed a keg in each of two t r e e s forty rods apart, and the same swarm will hunt through both of them, and mako their choice. I do not think that there were any chemical changes taking place in these kegs, as Mr. Dernaree mentions, on pag.i 4')fi of the Bee Journal for 1888. Nature does not intend to send the busy bee wandering from place to place, just happening to come across a hollow tree or log. Let any who doubts this do as I have done, and they will be sooner or later convinced. Swarms that hwa chosen n now home close by are very apt, when swarming, to rise high up in tho air, and go quickly, never stopping to cluster, as they havo a string or trail of bees all the way from tho hivo, or swarm, to the new homo; tho loss the distance, tho moro bees on the trail, or the thicker they fly; thus the farther away, tho better are tho chances for them to cluster, for those bees flying back and forth have quite an influence on tho swarm. It was such cases as these thnt so strangely induced me to adopt tho method of clipping all my queens' wing.-j; for there is no one thing pertaining to boe-kooping that puts me more out of pationee than to have a portion of my swarms leave mo; for in so doing, there goes tho profit. —Cor. Bee Journal M O N T E N E G R I N MARRIAGES. f h » Union of Prlnoe Nicholas's* Daughters with Russian R o y a l - ty. A few days ago the second d a u g h t e r of the prince of Montenegro was married to a Russian prince, a cousin Alexander i l l . , and at the same t the engagement was announced of younger stster, the Princess Annsk to Prince George Maximillaoovitch of Leuchtenberg, another cousin of the czar. I t ia evidently, says the Buffalo- Courier, the intention of tho Russian emperor to sooure to tho family of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, whohas seven daughters and two sons, t h e full recognition as ono of t h e European dynasties which up to a recent time was denied to them. In this way "*** doubtless means to reward Montene for her fidelity to tho Russian aliia which presents a marked contrast to the attitude of Sorvia, Koumania, and Bulgaria toward the power which liberated thorn from Turkish rule. Prince George of Louchtouoorg is a widower some 30 years old. On his mother's side be is a g r ndson of Czar Nicholas I., while his paternal grandfather was Eugene Boauhurnau, stepson of Napoleon I. and viceroy of Italy. Eugene was formally adoptod as a son by Nnpoioon without a right of succession to the French crown and m rried a Bavarian princess. After thy e m - peror's downfall he was marie duke of Leuchtenberg and prince of Eichstaedt by his father-in-law, the King of Bavaria. His family retained its semi-royal rank. One of f^ti^ daughtors became queen Of Sweden, another empress of Brazil, and his eldest son married the then reigning queen of Portugal. His second son, who succeeded to tho position of chief of the family, married tho Grand Duchess Maria Nicolajevna, daughter of Nicholas I. of Russia, and as a consequence of this union the family adopted thecreed of tho Greek church. W h e n Louis Napoleon, whoso mother, Queen Hortenso, was a sistor of Eugene Beauharnais, assumed tho imperial title in 1852 he intended to restore his uncle's descendauts to tho rank which Napoleon I. had conferred upon his step-son. But Nicholas i. was opposed to such a connection.of his grandchildren with tho " u p s t a r t " dynasty of the Bonapartes. To prevent it tho czar gave to all the members of thoLeuchtonborg family the title and stylo of Prince and Princess Romnnowski and "imperial < highneis,'1 together with a rank next to that of tho members of the Russian imperial house. In this way the scheme of Napoleon III. was thwarted. This was ono of the acts of Nicholas which tho French emperor bitterly resented, and it doubtless had much to do with tho desire for revenge which he was able-to-g ratify in—the. Crimejin_. war. Tho Leuchtenbergs are now a Russian family of semi-royal rank. They have large possessions in Russia and Germany, and their French origin seems to bo nothing to them but a memory. Tho present head of the family is the Duke Nicholas Maximilianovitch, an elder brother of Prince George. Tho latter has a son by his deceased wife, and upon his line the titles and estates of tho family will ultimately devolve. \ t • • i The Innocent Lamb. About tho first error tho iamb makes in life is to mistake the shepherd or his dog for its mother, and many are the maneuvers that muse be gone through with to mako the now arrival follow the right party. H i s next error is likely to be an attempt to walk on air when he conies to a placo where he should go-down hill. His ten minutes' experience in life has made him believe t h a t all tho earth is a level pi.an, and in broad daylight he steps off the top landing of tho stair9 in tot il darkness when he is certain t h a t tho stairs are yet twenty feet away. The result is a groat surprise to man and lamb in each instance. The lamb picks himself up, and coa^v^j tinues down the hill; he soon comes the conclusion that everything is down hill in this life, and not on the dead level. Upon getting to the foot of tho hill, h e still tries to continue downward, and as a result runs hia noso into the ground and looks surprised again. He now comes to a placo to get up hill, and goes up just as our man starts up stairs in total darkness when ho thinks the stairs are twenty feet away.

The business of loaning money to government clerks at usurious rates of interests has flourished since the last election, lenders being reasonably certain that Republican clerks, and nine tenths of the employees no matter by -whom appointed claim to be of the same political faith as the reigning administration, will be retained in office for at least four years. The sharks seem to spring from the ground. Some have cozy offices in fashionable buildings, two have even banking establishments and these carry their offices about in their ancient and infirm silk hats. One of the banking establishments, run solnly as a buy lock affair, pays its depositors one per cent per month, which is however not surprising when one is informed that the institution loans out its money in amounts of $50 or $100 at two or rive per cent per month. Some of the smaller Shylocks receive as high as twenty per cent per month. Many of them are department clerks themselves and by loaning to the chief clerk or the chief of their divisions secure immunity from punishment and are even able to dictate terms to their unfortunate debtors. The other day a Treasury clerk, after having refused to pay further even the principal of a note for $1(J0, upon which he had paid §240 interest in two years, was boldly reported to the auditor under whom he works, for failure to pay his debts. Strange to say, while no law exists to compel payment, this auditor insisted upon the immediate payment of the entire principal and the last months interest, under pain of dismissal. 1 have since learned that the usurer is a brother-inlaw of the auditor and my surprise ceases. Secretary Teller, whose treatability and broad character has never received a sufficient need of praise, understood these money lenders as they are. lie thoroughly detested them and during his administration they fought shy of the .interior department. One man "who was employed in the Patent Office and who had loaned money at ten per cent per month to fellow clerks for so many years that he had come to be worth about 125,000, reported a messenger in the office for owing him $25 and failing to pay it promptly. The Secretary; sent for both men. The messenger, a shiftless, weak follow, with a large family and a small salary, had no defence to offer, Hi? accuser was eloquent and in conclusion called attention to the fact that he was a poor old cripple, whom it was a sin to cheat and who needed every cent he could get. Secretary Teller listened to him*smilingly and courteously and only when the shark was through, did his .hot temper burst forth. "What," said he, "you reason to me that because you ard a criple you must needs be a vampire. Out upon you, you scavenger. Consider yourself discharged this day as a warning to the scurvy race of tricksters to which you belong." "As for you," he continued, turning to the borrower, "return to your desk and brace up. Be a man. Be fairhanded with the world and take care of the family the Lord, in his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to give you, with a confideace in you that time has certainly shown to be ill placed." The cabinet meeting of Saturday deoided one think and that is that the President will call no extra session of Congress. The President has told numerous members of Congress that an extra session would probably be called to open about October 20, or November 1, but by some patent argument he left the matter to the cabinet and an adverse dicision was reached. Secretaries Windom and Tracy are said to have most vigorously opposed the call. The exact political effect is hard to foretell as it relates to the fall elections. The lethargy into which most people fall as regard^ Congressional matters during the year following a presidential election, may perhaps preclude interest in the matter. LIVINGSTON COUNTY FAIR !

The Western candidates \vi:l loop upon the failure as favorable to their chances, while Mr. II 'od, of Maine, will undoubtedly lie weakened by a more prolonged fight, as the strongest candidate isalways kille^d off first by the combined efforts of the small fry. As Air. McKiniey of Ohio opposed the call it is supposed that he is especially overjoyed. The truth is that an earlyextra session would kill Mr. Mclvinley's chances, as it would be impossible to get the western members here until the middle of November, when the contest would be a thing of the past and Reed elected. The announcement of .John L. Sullivan that he will run for Congress is the amusing topic of this morning's conversation everywhere. It is an exhibition of arrogant self sufficiency that claims a passing notice. That he could be elected is impossible.

Clinton. COUNTY AND VICINITY NEWS. ANN ARBOR. From toe Courier. Mrs. Israel Hall has offered the regents ten acre* of land, without money or without price, to be used for the erection of the new hospital bnildings. The land given is situated east of the fair grounds and south of the residence of Eugene B. Hall on Hill-st. Mrs. Hall also agrees to open up two more streets leading to this tract there being two streets already leading thereto, so that it can be made a very desirable location. It really looks as if the state of Michigan was very fortunate. There are now two locations of valuable land offered without price. There are certainly 6ome very generous people in our city. Yesterday Judge Babbitt heard the petition of Emory Snell, of Whitmore Lake, to commit his father Richard Snell, a man about 70 years of age, to the Pontiac asylum, on the grounds of alleged insanity, and denied the petition. There were some twenty witnesses examined, besides the expert testimony of Dr. Smith of Whitmore, and Drs. Breakey and Knapp, of this city. The testimony drew out a feeling of unfriendliness in the family over money matters, and other things that convinced the judge that the old gentleman, though perhaps a little peculiar in somethings was not a subject for the asylum. He is an old man, infirm in body, but with sufficient money to take care of himself with if proper use is made of it. SOUTH LYON. F r o m the Picket. G. C. Hollis now languishes in the county jail for assult and battery on Mrs. Silas Ellis. Rev. Bradley returned from conference Tuesday. He has been returned to this charge. Serves him right. Richard Cogger says he has sold $50 worth of plums from .six trees this seasou, gave .several bushels away and the trees hang full yet. Next. Ann Arbor young men will build a club bouse at Rush Lake near Hamburg Junction. It will be on a grand scale, something after the style of Senator Palmer's log-cabin at Detroit. MAUKIED—Wednesday Sept. 11th, 1889 at. Howell, by Rev. Jesse Kilpatrick at the M. E. church, Mr. Arthur W. Bennett, of Green Oak, to Miss Mattie Crescent, of Ann Arbor. From the Excelsior. Last week, James Ellis, for many years a citizen of this place, became mentally deranged, and has since grown worse. Friends are undecided as yet what to do for his restoration. The T. A. A. & N. M. Ry company have purchased the Durand branch to Saginaw. The Ashleys expect to have under their control 360 miles of track between Toledo and Lake Michigan before Jan. 1st next. The marriage of Fred Houser, of this place, and Miss Etta Weatherakr, of Pontiac, (formerly of this place,) took place at the trideV parents at~12, noon, yesterday. After finishing up his contracts here, Fred and bride will make their home in Pontiac with her parents. Fred has always exhibited good taste for home decorations and his selection of so amiable a domestic companion proves an eye to business. The Excelsior congratulates. HOWELL. From the Republican. Wm. Cobin and Miss Ella Benson of this township, were married by Justice Carr, at Fowlerville, September 4th. Rev. J. H. Kilpatrick has been returned to the Howell M. E. church, much to the satisfaction of his congregation. Willis Isham has petitioned the probate court for the appointment of a guardian for John Isham, his brother, ofllnadilla, who is alleged to be a mentally incompetent person. The bean crop is nearly secured and is in good shape. This industry is growing in extent and importance in Livingston coanty and promises soon to rival the wheat, crop as a means of ready cash to the farmer. From toe Democrat. The brick walls of the new court boats are well under way. Mr». ttarab Sheldon, aged 72 yean, died at the home of her brother, Mr. O. Davis, in this village, on Tneadaj of this week. Sparks from a railroad engine set fire to the grain stubble on John Stevens' farm at Fleming, and hard work alone saved his house and barn from being burned. Conway is the only township in the county without a poetoffice, and the people think of asking their Uncle Samuel to establish one near the Cole school house. The snmmer-resorters are fleeing homeward. One Howell man camped out two weeks this summer, and in that time lost 9 pounds in weight He says it may be conductive to good health to have ants and angle worms play tag on the bread and butter, and bugs and worms of different nationalities and religious beliefs crawling up a man's trowsers-legs by day and camping among his blankets by night; but the comforts of home are good enough for him.

The Chicago Times of recent date says: I t seems tbut the effect of the new Michigan railroad law will be to reduce passenger rates not only in that state, but between Chicago and New York. The Michigan Central railro d is not subject to the provisions of the law, owing to the provisions prescribed in its charter, but it compells the Chicago & Grand Trunk to reduce its rates to the basis of two cents a mile in the state of Michigan. This causes a redaction of $1 in the rate from Chicago to Port Huron, and consequently a similar reduction in the established rate to New York. Of course the Michigan Central will find it necessary to meet this rate, although not forced to do so by the law. Tho other e;ibt-bound lines will find it to their interest to fellow suit and the result is a general reduetiou in the through rates to the seaboard. The Michigan Jaw becomes operative October 1, after which time the first-class fare from Chicago to New York will be $3^.25 instead of $£.'.25, as at present. w u the I m p o r t a n t Kstilroart Deal. Rome time ago the Farmers' loan and trust company of Now York, began suit and had a receiver appointed by the United States court in Detroit for the Michigan portion of the St. Louis, Sturgis & liattlo Creek railway, and the Battle Creek ^: Bay City railway. Sept. 10 Henry Campbell, United States master in chancery, sold the two roads to Henry A. Gardner of Chicago; the St. L., S. & B. C. for $V.O,- 000 and the B. C. <& B. C. for $130,000. Mr. Gardner represents the Chicago syndicate that recently bought that portion of the St. L., S. 4& B. C. outside the state of Michigan. H is the intention of the purchasers to compete tho road in this state from Bat tie Creek to Bay City, there being now an uncompleted gap in the center, and thus make a through line to St. Louis, with a Detroit air line connection. Judge Brown has approved the sale. / Muni lily Crop Keport. "£v ^' The September returns from 021 correspondents, representing 510 townships show that wheat thrashed in tho central counties is an average yield per ocro of 16.17 bushels. In tho northern counties it is 12.»4, and in the southern it is 10.22. These averages make no allowance for shrunken or otherwise damaged grain, which forms a large percentage of the crop. Tho quality is no better than reported last month. Oats average iW.'.it bushels in the southern sec: ion, H5.50 bushels in the central and ~4.h0 bushels iu the northern. The drought and cool nights have been disas trous to com and potatoes, the latter of which will not yield more than threequarters of an average crop. The number of sheep sheared in lS^S was 2,038,70«, yielding 12,4/17, 413 pounds of wool. S ate Fair Officers.

The Michigan weather service's weekly crop bulletin states that the weather con ditions for the week ending Sept. 7, were unfavorable for corn and potatoes, b u t the local rains of tho latter part of \he week have gone far to improve crops, and past u r e s have also been greatly improved. Some corn in the southeast portion of the state, injured by the drought, is already being cut. The total rainfall for seven dayB was .80 of an inch. Tue heaviest w a i at Berrien Springs, and amounted to 3.1£ inches. DEAD IN A MINE. Eleven Miners Drowned 800 Feet Under Ground. A terrible disaster occurred in th^ White Ash coal mine near Golden, Col., tho other morning, and 11 miners lost their lives. The victims were at work in a drift from the bottom of the shaft at a depth ol 780 feet, and were 800 feet from the Bhaft T b e other morning there was some 50 feet of water in this shaft. Tho water finally burst through the shaft and Hooded the drift in which the men were at work. It will require weeks of hard work before even their bodies can be reached. The work of pumping out tbe mine was commenced a t once. The widows and orphans of tbe entombed men were gathered around the mouth of the shaft, alternately cryinf and praying for their loved ones, and the scene was indeed pitiful. Resignation of the Commissoner of Pensions.-Harrison Accepts it- Old Ocean on m R a m p s c a T h e greatest tide ever experienced struck Coney Island, ou the Atlantic coast, about six o'clock ou the morningof September )0. and the high tide aud heavy surf played sad havoc. Every strip of bnach ou the island was completely covered. Wator poured in volumes underneath tbe*Muubattan hotel. The great waves dashed against the music stand and it went down in a few hours. Tho concrete walk in trout of tbe big building wua undermined and torn away, uud every breaker carried tons upon tons of water beneath the building. The litUe strip of lund between Brightonaud Mt uhattan was eaten away, and tbe ocean and Shcepsbead bay aro connected by tully five feet of water, extending to Sheep.-ihead. TheManbattan and Oriental hotels stand by themselveson a little island that is fast being eaten up. The mammoth bathing pavilion belonging to Manhattan beach was beaten down by the thundering waves. The old murine railway structure was carried away, and was taken with an awful crash over the new marine railway, fully three hundred feet inland, carrying the latter away bodily, and overturning and smashing cars like kindling wood. The old lirightou beach bathing pavilion followed it with a deafening crash, and the driftwood was carried with lightning rapidity and herculean force against the new b.ith house, carrying part of that away. The Brighton beach hotel was Rurrounded by over two feet of water, which extended as far as Stieepshead bay. Fully 100 feet of the lawn iu front of tbe hotel was eaten away. The Brighton beach railroad was submerged. Tbe angry waves dashed against Soidl's music st nd, each wave tearing away great chunks of it at every burst. The little cbildreu'ssociety cottage near tbe music stand was carried away. Waves broke under the elevated road station and it was ruined. Brighton Beach was nearly all under water, and was separated from R e a m s ' hotel by five feet of water. The Brighton beach race course was two feet feet deep with water, aud the surf reached Boder's hotel, which was considered by the propri etor us being too far bucK from the sea. The two little houses on the concourse in Prospect park were sunk in ten feet of water and dashed to pieces. The entire concourse was inundated, und the concrete pavement torn up. The n v i u road by tbe concourse was submerged, and nearly every street within 5,000 feet of the beach formerly was Hooded. The flooring of both the old iron pier aud Doyle's iron pier was torn up bodily. No such time has been experienced in the history of the island. Tho wind was blowing a hurricane off shore. As the morning advanced, the hurricauo increased to a cyclone. Following the first great tidal wave, the gigantic swells came swinging and rolling in in rapid succession. The dauingo by storm along the water front in New York was great. Along South street and West street nearly all the collars were flooded and goods destroyed. Vessels report tieavy weather and seas all along the coast. The landing stage at L'astlo Garden was almost submerged, a state of affairs never known before. The lowerend of Hl.,okweU'B island was sub merged, and the keepers were compelled to remove the patients from the frame buildings in that portion of the island. The new railroad tracks at Auvergne by-the se* were entirely under water, and the bridge to vSl. Lawronco was washed away. Tho usually high tide at Jersey City rose far above some of the docks located between tho Pennsylvania railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna 1¾ Western. On Pavonia avenue, tho thoroughfare leading from the ferry, the water was two feet deep, and extended beyond the Erin's train sh«d. The wator was over tho wheels of the horee ears and tho passengers were landed by means of temporary bridges. T h e entire Erie freight yard was entirely Bub merged and thousands of barrels of ilour are reported damaged. Tannsr Resign*.

Very respectfully yours, JAMES T A N N E K , Commissioner. EXECUTIVE MANSION, I WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 18^9. \ Hon. James Tanner, commissoner of pensions: Dear Sir:—Your letter tendering your resignation of tho office of commissioner of pensions has been received, and your reslguation is accepted, to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of your successor. • I do not think it necessary, in this correspondence, to discuss the causes which have led to this st.ito of affairs in the pension office. You have been kindly and fully advised of my views upon most of these matters. It gives me pleasure to add that, so far as I am advised, your honestv has not at any time been called in question, «nd I beg to renew the expression of my personal good will. Very truly yours, B E N J A M I N HARnispN. .Tack, t h a Ripper, At Work. Tho'London police found the body of a woman lying at the corner of a railway arch on Cable street, Whitechapel, on the morning of the loth. The head and legs had been cut off and carried away and t h e stomach ripped open, the intestines lying on the ground. Policemen pass the spot every 15 minutes. These on duty say they saw nothing suspicious. The physicians who examined the body state that in their opinion t s e murder and mutilation occupied nearly an hour. It is surmised that the murderer carried off the bead and legs in a bag. The murder la t h e worst of the whole series of Whitechapel butcheries. The manner in which the limbs bad been severed from the body shows t h a t the murderer was possessed of some surgical skill. The woman was 30 years old. Her clothing was shabby and she was evidently a spirit drinker. Au Awful Disaster. A torrible explosion of dynamite occur red S e p t 7 in a cartridge fao;ory in the viclulty of the bourse in Antwerp. The factory was also situated behind the docks upon which millions of cartridges were being loaded. It was adjacent to tbe petrolemtu stores aud two large Kusaiun petro.'^ WM rehouses were set on fire. The explosion occurred in a wor _ where old cartridges were being takfft pieces. Men and women were a c t i v e * __ work breuktug them up, and ^6,000,000 hud been partly broken. , , j Abut tive hundred persons were injured. T h e loss will be many million francs. It w a s impossible to extinguish the tiames for several days. Owing to the intense heat the firemen aro unable to approach the fiumesnourer than 100yards. • The explosion occurred iu t h e C o r v i l l m cartridge factory. The estabislimont had been condemned by the commuual council, but the deputation permaneute had allowed work to continue. The victims ure moaUjr factory gfcls. Wiudows throe miles t a n t wero shattered by the explosion. Scores were taken to the hospitals ing the night. Some were suffocated the smoke, and others were shot tbrou_ aud through by Hying pro'ectilos or maimed by falling debris. The density of tbe smoke arising from tbe oil aud saturated with it, rendered breathing in it impossible, and the strongestmeu wereovercome by it within a short distance of safety. One hundred and ten thousand barrels of crude pairoleum, mostly Kussiau, which is the nustieth on earth, were burned. Two thous-nd tons of cartridges exploded at once. The explosion shook the whole city, and the sound of it w^s heard over an area of '60 miles. Limbs and fragments of bodies were found at incredible distances. Severul heaps of charred human remains have been collected. None of the tragmeu.s cau bo identified. Many persons, cut eff from the city and pursued by the llames, jumped into the water and were drowned by dozens, or burned to death by the b.azing oil that poured down upon the surface of the river. Bullets riew around like hail stones and those who sought to escape througli the streets were shot downau their tracks. The fullest estimate of the killing, liOO, is in all likelihood justified. Tho city water works, with their vast and elaborate machinery, are partially destroyed, and what is left is BO badly damaged as to i>e useless. This cuts off the water supply of a considerable portion of the city, and much distress und Bickness are expected as a consequence. No audi cul imity, meeting all the elements of horror, has been known since the d j y s of Alva. It appears that as a measure of precaution a large proportiou or the forty millions of cartridges in the Corvilain factory hud been buried in the ground. After the explosion the men employed iu the petroleum warehouses close ut hand turnod on tho t. ps of the reservoirs contauing millions of gallons of the liquid. Plowing along tho trenches the petroleum reached tho powder manufactory and penetrated to where the'cartridyes were buriod. The tire spread to these ci.rtndues, and frequent iind loud reports were heard us ihe packages of cartridges exploded from time to time, lidding to the panic of the populat on. With regard to the question of responsibility various reports are circulating. The town council has issued a proclamation throwing all tho responsibility upon tho provincial council. It is probable tbat lawsuits will spring out of the affair. I)e a n of s>. si. Cr>x. Congressman Samuel Sullivau Cox died at his homo in Mew York Sopt. 10.

Queen's Gate looked a little askance at Mr. Ponsonby Walker, though he occupied one of the biggeat houses there and dispensed lavish hospitality. He was a* tall, stout, red-faced, elderly gentleman, with a familiar er and a Jovial laugh, addicted to spothite waistcoats, loud patterned trouand patent-leather boots. He was hearty and gonial with every one, and the reputation of being able and willing to make fortunes in the city for any of his friends who chose to seek his advice and assistance. But, though his wife wore diamonds, and he kept up a considerable establishment, there was a vague feeling of distrust regarding his alleged wealth. Business men shook their heads at the mention of his name, and hinted that, though he described himself as a financier, ho dealt with other people's money rather than his own, 4KP WAS chiofly engaged in the mysterious Spttipation of promoting public companies. ; : B|ese rumors, however, did not prevent (Jlt^Peirtkmby Walkers from having a large ctrole of friends and acquaintances, who assisted at their social functions and returned their hospitality by similar entertainments. In fact, tho Ponsonby Walkers wire rather fa*hionablo people, and it was, sorhapa, envy as much as anything else which cuused some of their neighbors to speuk disparagingly of them. The prevailing impression among honest, unsophisticated folk was that Mr. Ponsonby Walker was a personage In the city of scarcely less importance and standing than u Hothscuild or a Baring; and no one was more deeply imbued with this Idea than young Claude Darnien. But three and t wenty is a credulous age, and a passionate admiration for a man's daughter is apt to shed a golden halo around tho young lady's parents. Claude Darnien would never have thought of suspecting Mrs. Ponsonby Walter of being dull and commonplace, nor did ho ever doubt that Mr. Ponsonby Walker was a merchant prince of almost untold weal th. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the young gentlemen fe'.t serious misgivings on the subject of his attachment to Mr. Ponsonby Walker's only daughter Miriam, for be guessed Instinctively that the financier would discourage his pretensions. But Miriam Walker was an impulsive, warm-heaned girl, and having lured Claude Darnien to his fute by receiving his attentions with marked favor, she scoffed at tho idea that his poverty was an insurmountable bar to their union. She fervently vowed that, whatever her father's decision might be, she would always regard Claude as her affianced husband, and prevailed upon the young man to demand the parental cons en t and benediction. Shu succeeded in almost •persuading him that Mr. Ponsonby Walker bel6nged to the benevolent order of fathers who are disposed to overlook such trifling drawbacks as absence of income and expectations in a daughter's suitor. Claude Darnien could not quite bring himself to regard Mr. Ponsonby Walker in that amiable and fatuous light, but rendered desperate by the state of his affections, tie screwed up his courage and called upon Miriam's father one day at his office in this city. "What can I do for you, Mr. Damicnf" inquired the financier, in a patronizing, condescending tono, as Claude entered with his heart thumping against his ribs liko a battering- ram. "You do not recognize mo, sir;" said Claude, nervously observing that Mr. Ponsonby Walker read his name from his card with a hesitation which showed that it was unfamiliar. "I had tho pleasure of being introduced to you once at the nouse of a mutual friend, Maj. Stanhope." "Ah, to be sure. You're a son of the late Gen. Damion. I remember perfectly," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, encouragingly. "Can 1 have a few minutes' private conversation with you sir!" murmured tho young man. "v\ell, I am very much overwhelmed with business just now. I have an important meeting of the board of the Grand Eldorado Diamond Mining Company at 3 o'clock," said Mr. Ponsonby Walkor, with importance. "Wo are proceeding to allotment, Mr. Darnien," he added, significantly. "Oh, indeed!" observed Claude. "Yes, a splendid property, Mr. Damlen; a splendid property," said Mr. Ponsonby Walkor, rubbing his hands. "As a friend of Maj. Stanhope's, I advise you to apply at once for some shares—" "No—no, thank you," interposed Claudo, with an ominous sinking at his heart. "The fact is, I have called to ask your permission to become engaged to your daughter Miriam." "To my daughter Miriam—to Miss Ponsonby Walker I" oxclaimed tho financier, staring at the young man with undis,guisod amazement. "Have you spoken to her on the subject!" "Yes; last night, at Mrs. Anstruther's ball," said Claude eagerly. "Really, this is very serious," said Mr. »onby Walker, solemnly. "I have heard hMng of it. Will you have the goodness, — lien, tc state your position and pros- 1 blushing hotly. "Indeed, he has never answered the letter which I wrote to him some months ago when my father died." "Upon my word, this is absolutely preposterous!" exclaimed Mr. Ponsonby Walker, bounding from his ehiar and glaring at bis unfortunate vbitor from the center of the hearth rug- "Do you seriously suppose for an Instant, Mr. Darnien, that I can consent to your engaging yoursel' to —ahem—Miss Ponsonby Walker!" "I love your daughter, sir. very deeply, and am doing my best w seek employ meat I hoped, perhaps, that you might consent conditionally upon my "Pshaw! Mr. Damlen, you are wasting my time* and your own," interposed Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with an angry gesture. "Understand, please once for all, that I forb>d you to speak to my daughter again. Your conduct, sir, Is impertinent—nothing less than, impertinent. In fact, 1—I—Mr. Darnien, oblige me by leaving the room this instant." •riaude Damlen realized, with pain- H|r*6ree, the utter hopelessness—not to say temerity—of his mission, as ho proceeded, in faltering accents to describe his unfortunate circumstances, and it is hardly surprising that the brief statement caused Mr. l'onsonby Walkor to grow crimson with Indignation. "Do you mean to toll me Mr. Darnien, that you have no means, no occupation, and no expectation whatever!" exclaimod the financier, falling back in his chair and ling at ' him with contemptuous lent. "No relatives, even or whom you can look for assist- % s live an uncle—my poor mother's brothring in America. I have beard that he is rich and a bachelor," said Claudo from sheer desperation. "Well! and what is his name! and what will ho do for you?" inquired Mr. Ponsonby Walkor, a little more encouragingly. •'His name is William Harness. He emigrated many years ago, and I beliove he lives at Princess Town, Kansas county. But I have no right to expect that ho will do anything for me," added poor Claude, CLAX'PE DAMISS DASHBD OFF HIS BlGN'ATtTTB. But Claude Darnien had something else to think of besides love-making and responding to congratulatory epis ties, In tho first place, it was necessary to take steps to obtain possession of his property, and for this purpose h3 placed himself in the hands of a firm of solicitors, recomended by Mr. Ponsonby Walker. Unfortunately, Mr. Blotting wrote in reply to telegraphic inquiries that the testator's estate consisted almost entirely of land and houses, which could not bo conveted into money until after the usual interval. This was a disappointment to Claude, for ho longed to taste the sweets of his inheritance, and moreover, he bad been applied to for the purchase money of his shares in the Grand El Dorado Diamond Mining Company. Having no means of meeting this demand, he had no alternative but to seek the advice and assistance of Mr. Ponsonby Walker. * "What a ridiculous situation," exclaimed the financier, with a hearty laugh, as ho slapp»?d his future son-in-law on the back. "Imagine an impecunious millionaire!" "It's awkward all the same," said Claude, laughing also. "Pooh! There need be no difficulty," responded Mr. Ponsonby Walker. "I'll write you a check. Stay, though!" he added, thoughtfully. "I think, on consideration, that 1 had better not. One can't bo too careful in these matters, and remarks might bo made if it should transpire that the money came from me." \5r. Ponsonby Walker winked confidentially as he spoke, and looked so knowingly at the young man that the latter, without tho least understanding him, felt impressed by the wiadom of tho financier's remark. "I suppose n o V acquiesced Claude, doubtfully; ''but where shall I get the money from?" "Y/oucan borrow it from your solicitor, or—well, perhaps it is well to be independent, and you can afford the luxury—why not got it from Benlevi P said Mr. Ponsonby Walker. "By all means. But who is Benlevi?" inquired Claude. "Benlevi, of Burlington street," replied Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with another sagacious wink. "A money lender, but honest as they go. He will make you pay for tho accomodation, but what will that matter to you!" So Claude, nothing loath, paid a visit to Mr. Benlevi, who received him very civilly, having evidently read all about him in the newspapers. From this worthy the young man obtained, on somewhat startling terms, a sum of money which enabled him to tako up his shares and left something over. Being thus in funds, Claude Damlen did not scruple to launch out a little by taking an i expensive set of chambers and furnishing . them luxuriously. He found no difficulty '•• In obtaining credit from tradespeople, and i having once set the ball rolling, he soon : raised a very considerable crop of debts, j and began to live in a mariner worthy of | his enviable circumstances. j ' At the instance of his future father-inlaw, who represented that he ought not to J neglect his own interests, Claude Damlen ' attended one or two meetings of the direct- j ors of the Grand El Dorado Diaajfnd Min- I ing Company, though the proceedings, and j indeed the company itself, rather bored i him. It was gratifying, however, to the young man to learn that his connection with the company had had a very good effect, nnd that its shares were being eagerly applied for, especially as he understood that I in some mysterious way the success of thV] company was an excellent thing for Miri- j am's father. Claude was a little puzzled at this, because Mr. Ponsonby Walker's name did not appear on tho prospectus oi tho company nor among the list of shareholders. But the young man asked no questions, being completely absorbed with the raptures of love-making and the delights of luxurious living, and as Mr. Ponsonby Walker soon ceased to trouble him any more about the company, Claudo was perfectly content not to refer to it. It was, perhaps, fortunate for the young man's peace of mind, that he shirked tho Directors' meetings, and never road tho financial columns of the newspapers, for he thus remained in happy ignorance of ugly rumors which began to be circulated about tho now venture He did, indeed, hear something of an unfavorable report which had come to hand concerning the company's mines, and which had causod a panic and a great outcry among the share holders. Still this gave him but little uneasiness. Early one morning, however, a few day* after these rumors first came tQ his ears, Claude Damlen found bis sitting room occupied by a araunt-lcoking, elderly gentleman, who was seated in his beat-easy chair, tranquilly smoking a cigar and reading the newspaper. Claude stared in amazement at the stranger, whose shriveled features seemed oddly familiar, though he was not conscious of ever seeing him before. His unceremonious visitor stared at him in return with an amused, half-contemptuous expression which excited the young man's wrathful indignation. "Who are you, sir? and what are you doin? hero?" demauded Claudo angrily. "I'm a corpse'" taid the old gentleman with a sardonic grin. "A what!" exclaimed Claude, starting. "I used to t e your mother's brother William, and consequently your uncle, young man," said the stranger, with a decided American twang. "But it seems, on this Side, I'm only a testator. When I heard the news over yonder, there seemed to me to be something kinder wrong about it, so I've come over to make Inquiries." "Good neavensl" gasped Claude, turning pale. "If—if what you say is true, I have been duped. But Mr. Silas Blotting, of Princess Town " "There is no such person," interposed the old gentleman, calmly. "What does it mean, then?" cried Claude, wildly. "I have had letters from him. He told me that my uncle, W illiam Barnes, of Princess Town, was dead." Mr. Ponsonby Walker was purple in the face with furious indignation, and he even made a stop toward Claude as though he meditated violence. The young man had sense enouph to perceive that to attempt to prolong the interview would probably lead to a regrettable scene, and he therefore pru dently withdrew, feeling more deeply humilnted and crestfallen than he had ever done in his life. The truth was that Claude Darnien was thoroughly ashamed of himself, for he was an honest lad, and b3 painfully realized that he had acted the part of an impudent adventurer. It was, no doubt, the height of presumption on his part, contdderir.g that he was absolutely penniless and friendless, to aspire to marry the daughter of a rich man. To do him justice, nothing had been further from his mind than to profit by the circumstance of the girl he loved being an heiress. He was just at that romantic age when to make a fortune seems only a question of giving the mind to it; and he had vaguely determined that he would set to work with that laudable object without a moment's delay. Mr. Ponsonby Walker's indignation, however, had opened his eyes to the unpleasant fact that his conduct was worse than thoughtless, and he was so remorseful and contrite that he immediately wrote a heart-broken and penitent letter to Miriam Walker, releasing her from her engagement. But Miss Ponsonby Walker was evidently a young lady of considerable spirit and force of character, for she absolutely refused to give up her lover, and declared that she was ready to wuit for him for a thousand years. Sho hinted that sho did not despair of overcoming her father's opposition, and peremptorily commanded Claude to meet her at the house of a mutual friend to which they had both been invited. The young man had neither the strength of mind nor, indeed tho inclination to resist tho opportunity of renewing his protestations of ardent devotion, and the consequence was that, much against his conscience, Claude Darnien continued to carry on his clandestine courtship. In extenuation of the conduct of these imprudent young people, it may be urged that Mrs. Ponsonby Walker was hardly less to blame than they, for Miriam's mother, who was a stout lady of an easy-going phlegmatic disposition, must either have been intentionally blind or extremely stupid. At all events she never interferred, though Claude Darnien contrived to obtain invitations to several entertainments to which the Ponsonby Walkers were bidden, and, as the financier rarely accompanied his wife and daughter into society, the young man found no obstacle to his love-making. Meanwhile Claude made strenuous efforts to obtain employment, but unfortunately without success. His friends were chiefly retired half-pay brother officers of his late father, who had no Influence whatever in the commercial world, and the lad possessed no accomplishments or resources of any kind which he could turn to account Luckily for himself, his temperament was sanguine, and he found Miriam's sweet encouragement a sufficient antidote against the demoralizing influence of perpetual disappointment In this manner a month or six weeks passed, and the only result ef this lapse of time was that Claude Damlen became more infatuated than ever. He was even oeglnning to feel a little depressed in moments of solitude when one day he was startled by receiving a formidable looking letter, addressed in an unknown hand and bearing an American stamp. The sight of it caused the young man an anxious thrill of expectation, for he immediately concluded that It was a reply from his maternal uncle, to whom he had written mauy months previously. Wrhen, with a trembling hand, he broke the seal, the following communication met his astonished gaze: ":>37 BLOCK A, Pnr*CKss Towy, KANSAS COUNTY.—SIR: I beg to acquaint you that, by the will of your late uncie, Mr. William Barnes, of this city (copy of which I inclose), you are entitled, as residuary legatee, to the whole of his property, estimated at about 15,000,000. The testator died on tho 'Jlst of last month. Awaiting tho honor of your instructions, I am, sir. yours obediently, SH-AS G. BLOTTING, Barrister, etc. "To Mr. Claude Darnien. The young man fairly gasped for breath as ho read this amazing intelligence, and for several minutes he stared blankly at the letter, unable to realize that be was actually a millionaire. But as ho grew calmer, and proceeded to road the will of the deceased relative, ho grasped the situation sufficiently to jump into a cab and drive straight to the office of Mr. Ponsonby Walker. Miriam's father reooived him with scant courtesy, but when he announced bis good fortune and produced the letter of Mr. Silas Blotting, and the copy of his uncle's will; the financier's manner changed completely. "My dear Damlen," exclaimod Mr. Ponsonby Walker, in an almost awe-stricken voice, **this is glorious news I I congratulate you." "I love yoor daughter, sir," murmured the young man tremulously. "A million sterling!" ejaculated Mr. Ponsonby Walker, rising excitedly in his chair. "It belongs to MirJ^m," cried Claude with emotion. "My dear Claude, your constancy is touching," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, quite overcome. "God bless you, my boy!" "Thank you, sir," said Claude, wringing the hand of his future father-in law. "Claude, my boy, regardless of your fortune, it would be better that you should have some employment As a start, therefore, I would suggest that you ahold join tne board of tha Grand El Dorado Diamond Mining Company," cried Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with sudden eagerness. "Certainly, sir," said the young man, promptly. "May I put you down for a hundred shares?" inquired Mr. Ponsonby Walker, in a business-like tone. "I'll take a thousand," replied Claude, with a new and delightful sense of recklessness. "No, no, you musn't put all your eggs in one basket. The Grand El Dorado, however, will be a Bpiendid thing, a splendid thing. But a hundred shares will be enough," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, rapidly fillinc up a printed form. "There my boy, sign that and you will discover that I have given you a princely wedding gift" Claude Darnien dashad off bis signature in a lordly manner, and then started off in a state of delirious happiness to claim his affianced bride. Then came a period of delicious excitement, during which the young man was scarcely consious of his own identity. His sudden elevation from poverty to extreme wealth almost turned his head. Not only was he received with affectionate defference into the bosom of the Ponsonby Walker family, but he was overwhelmed with congratulations and polite attentions from every one. The fame of his good luck spread abroad like wildfire, and before a week had elapsed every newspaper in England published paragraphs alluding to the event, and also mentioning the happy circumstance of his engagement Mr. Ponsonby Walker expressed great annoyance and indignation at the introduction of his daughter's name into public prints, but Claude could not help fancying that his father in-law elect was not so dUpleased as he affected to be. "There is no such man as William Barne3, of Princess Town either, I guess," said the old gentleman with another grin. "I'm located at Chicago, and left Princess Town a dozen years ago. Have you any doubt that I'm your unole, young man, and that I'm alive still?" Claude looked earnastly at tho face before him, but in truth, his scrutiny was unnecessary. Already the conviction had been borne upon him that he was speaking to his mother's brother, for the family likeness was unmistakable. "Seem.* to me, nephew, that you've embarked on a pretty big swindle," said his uncle, with a significant glance round the well-appointed room. "I am ruined, dishonored!" exclaimed Claude, overwhelmed with shame as he thought of his debts and the difficulty of his position. "What will Mr. Ponsonby Walker—what will Miriam think? I am innocent of any swindle, Uncle William," he added, with fierce energy. "Say, bow did it all happen, then?" inquired his uncle in a more friendly tone. Claude Darnien, feeling that he was on his defense, pulled himself together, and gave a tolerably lucid and coherent account of the events which have besn narrated. His uncle listened with close attention, and occasionally asked questions, which, if the young man had been less agitated, would have given rise to a suspicion that the pld gentleman bad already made himself acquainted with the circumstances. "Well, nephew, if you ain't a knave you are a fool, which is almost as bad in theso days," said his nnclo when he had finished. "Your Mr. Ponsonby Walker has played you a nice trick." "Mr. Ponsonby Walker!" exclaimed Claude with a start "Why, certainly. It was a plan of his to boom his precious company, whoso shares, by tho by, are now worthless. But that don't matter to him. He floated the concern, and got his promotion money, you bet," said the old gentleman with quiet conviction. "Impossible!" gasped Claude, horrified at the suggestion. "That is so, and you've got into an awkward scrape. The best thing you can do 13 to clear out of it and como along with me," said his uncle, not unkindly. "I've a business over yonder in Princess Town—a dry goods store. I call myself Wlldams over there because he's in trade and don't want to hurt the family pride," added the old gentleman sarcastically. "Hang family pride! I'll go with you, uncle, certainly, and, if necessary, sweep out the shop," cried Claude, with heartfelt easnestness. "But what about my debts'" "Never mind your debts," replied the old gentleman, who seemed pleased at his nephew's evident sincerity. "They arc not your debts; they are Mr. Ponsonby Walker's. He shall see to 'em." "And—and Miriam!" exclaimed the young > man with a beating heart "Miriam! Oh! That is tho girl? You don't suppose that she really cares for you, you young idiot," said his uncle brusquely. "I'm sure she does. Whatever her father may be, Miriam is true, and—and 1 love her, Uncle William, better than my life, exclaimed Claude excitedly. "Well, if that is so," said his uncle, in a quiet, matter-of-fact tone, "as Tve no room for absent minded-iovors in my establishment you had better marry her straight away. You think* she would come, eh?" "Uncle!" ejaculated Claude, completely staggered by the boldness of the proposition. "Why—why, of course she would. But—but, her parents would never consent Mr. Ponsonby Walker " "Leave him to me," said tho old gentleman, with a grim smile. "He will be only too anxious to get rid of tho ghost he baa raised on any terms, yoo bet! I T e got «ri-i dence in my pocket which will make him listen to reason. If yon can persuade t t o girl to come back with as in the Etruria a t the end of the month, Til fix matters with her father and get his blessing—for what it's worth!—into the bargain." Claude never quite understood now it all occurred, but he not only received Mr. Ponsonby Walker's blessing, but, what waa more to the point, the hand of his daughter and receipts for all the money he owed. Dish Cloths vs. Dish Sags. # " I guess you will find a dish r a g 1A some place about the sink," was t h e direction the daughter of t h e h o u s e gave to the neighbor who had come t o help in the emergency. W h a t she found was a black, damp rag, with t h e peculiar odor of many stale dish waters clinging about i t Fever had attacked the different members of this family* and the neighbor wondered if h e r e w e r e not the clue to iU origin, as she p u t t h a t dish rag into the stove and supplied its place with a dish cloth. One * of the most difficult things to teach a n ordinary servant girl is to tako proper care of the disb cloths. After using they should rinsa them thoroughly in clean water, and perfectly dry them, in the sun in the summer and by the stove in the winter. T h e ideal dish cloth of the model housewife is clean, soft, white nnd medium sized. Worn table linen is excellent to make into dish cloths. T a k e the worn out n a p k i n s , or the moat worn parts from an old table cloth; ten inches square is a good size. P u t two of these squares t o g e t h e r and stitch across three or four times on t h e machine. Then turn and stitch the same number of times across t h e rows already stitched. The whole is now quilted firmly together and with proper care will last a long time. As the various parcels come into t h e house, t a k e the cotton string with which they are tied, knot together a n d wind into a ball. It only requires a moment's work, and in a short time a large ball of strong cotton cord will res u l t W i t h this cord, using large wooden knitting needles, cast on stitches enough to make a strip twelve inches long when pulled out; knit back and forth in garter stitch until square. Cast off loosely, and you have a very strong, serviceable dish cloth. Two dishcloths oughtalways to be provided; one for the dishes and another for t h e pans and kettles. For these latter awire dish cloth is very handy. This can be purchased for a few cents at a house furnishing store. A vine to shade the porch and the next year's supply of dish cloths may b e - g r o w u at the same time by planting a few seeds of luffa or dish rag ground. It is quite common in the south. The vine with its dark, silvery green leaves is quite pretty. Tho fruit is about two feet long, and it is the tough, elastic, fibrous lining that is used for dish cloths. - American Agriculturalist. Died a Queer Death. New York dispatch: In the d e a t h of William Koch last Friday at his residence, 455 First avenue, from a disease whose rarity is well known, some interest ha3 been aroused a m o n g members of the. medical profession. The diseaso was due to the growth in the liver, in the present instance, of a fungus or germ termed actinomycis, a fine, high-colored sandiiko substance, which grows with astonishing r a p i d - ity, devoloping millions of the g e r m s in a short time. The diseaso is extremely rare and is peculiar to cattle and swine. Koch began to complain of sorenes3 over the right region of the liver Last February and examination by leading physicians revealed very peculiar sand - like pellets in the pus drained from t h e wound. These were revealed by t h e microscope to be true aetinomyces and consisted of round, fine, thread-like fibers, bulbed at the ends and r a d i a t i n g from a common center. Several operations were performed, but pyaemia setin, pneumonia followed, and t h e patient died. An autopsy to-day showed t h a t the ravagos of the fungi were astonishing. They a p p e a r e d to have first attacked the large internure. then to have worked t h r o u g h the gall duct into the liver, and so strongly did they work on this o r g a n that its whole left lobe was gangrened and studded with myriads of the fungi. The liver was abnormally enlarged to nine and one-half pounds. It is thought t h a t the dead man swallowed the fungi while eating. Koch was tho son of Andrew Koch, the wealthy weiss-beer brewer. Only four cases of the kind have occurred in the United States in 100 years. Kilferd Epitaph*.

Campbell, democratic nominee for governor in Ohio, was born in Middletown, Ohio, July 7, 1843, and was a brave and laithful union soldier during the war. He afterwards studied law, was admitted to the bar, becoming prosecuting attorney for Butler county, Ohio, from 1876 to 1880. He has been three times elected to congress. The pastor of one of Detroit's most wealthy and influential churches recently preached his people a sermon on the "Duiies of Citizens," in which were uttered truths of more than local Interest T h e reverend gentleman spoke from the text: " W h e n the righteous rule the people rejoicel when the wicked rule the people mourn."- This reverend gentleman says the people are responsible for bad laws, and the failure to enforce good ones, and in the same connection he urged the duty of relegating to obscurity officers who are organized in evil, who care not for law, who prostitute their positions for the spoils of office, and who set at defiance their obligations to those who have chosen them. He brings ihe cause of the evi home to the doors of those honest and upright citizens who have no inclination to take an in'erest in politics under modern methods, and who do not t a r e to ming e with the element controlling the political machinery of the present day. The solution of the evil lies in t h e b e t t e r class of citizens asserting their power and going to the polls with a determination t h a t the laws shall be made by honest men and that honest men shall properly enforce them. Purity and reform are the crying needs of the hour, and can only come through those who now neglect a plain duty by quietly acquiescing in the flagrant evils that exist. Notwithstanding the adverse criticisms of the American press in regard to Brown-Sequard's wonderful discovery, and the fact that even the temporary benefits derived have in a number of cases been off-set by the perils of blood-poisoniug, the venerable scientist has not "given" up Vis -search for the secret of prolonging human life. He is now making experiments trying to discover an elixir which will prolong the vitality of women, and is confident of success. He declares that the discovory which has excited so much ridicule on this side of the Atlantic is not a failure, but that it has. not been fairly tested, and that even the most ordinary precautions used by physicians in administering hypodermic injections have not been observed. The venerable scientist's determination and zeal are to be commanded, but the results of the application of his discovery in this country are not such as will inspire confidence. The maritime exhibition which is to open in Boston November 5 and last for a period of nine weeks, will be the first of its kind in this or any other country.

FARM AND HOME. to V B I M Superior Straw barrfes. Parsons who desire very large strawberries of fine color and flavor shoult not expect to raise them from plants that grow in matted rows or among weeds and grass. N e i t h e r should they expect to raise $bem on poor land, indifferently prepared, a n d on which little or n» labor is expended. It is generally believed that western farmers would raise more bushels of potatoes, corn and small grain if they expended the same labor they now do on a smaller amount of land. W h a t ! a true of field crops is also true of strawberries. La raising a supply for a family only a few small plat of ground is required. One hundred plants, property raised or selected, and cultivated in the best manner possible, will produce all the berries five persons will consume. The ground on which they are to be set out should be heavily manured and worked over with a spade to tne depths of at least eighteen inches. The spading should be well done so that all the soil shall be thoroughly pulverized. Plants that grow on runners one year should be selected for setting the following season. If a runner is allowed to produce but a single plant, it will be a large and vigorous one. If a small pot, such as is used by florists for starting bedding plants in, is placed in the ground beneath the young plant and filled with rich earth, the routs will extend through the soil and the work of transplanting will be rendered easy. Old berry boxes or tin cans, if a hole be made in the bottom, can be used in the place of small earthen pots. Plants raised in pots or boxes are not injured or retarded in their growth by being transplanted. If they are set eighteen inches apart and the runners and blossoms are cut from them the first season, they will become very large and strong. The flower stalks and runners can be pinched off very easily when they are young and tender. If allowed to grow they appropriate much of the sap that would otherwise go to form a large stool. The following year the plants will produce an enormous crop of very large berries. They will make mo at of their growth from the substances that were stored up in the crown of the plant during the previous year. By preventing the growth of runners and by manuring the ground after the berries are gathered, the old plants will produce a good crop the next season. Many may object to this plan of raising strawberries for the reason t h a t it requires much work. In pfaint of fact, it requires comparatively little. There are but few plants and they occupy but a small amount of ground. T h e removal of the flower stalks will not require more than a half-hour1 s time. The runners must be cut off as often as they appear, but the work can be done in a few minutes. Trie time spent in keeping the plants in a proper condition will be saved when the season for picking berries comes. Four quarts of berries can be picked from these large plants quicker than one quart can be gathered from matted vines. There is an advantage in raising plants t* set out outside the patch that produces berries. A piece of very rich ground is selected for the propagating bed, and plants are set in it about three feet apart. The blossoms are removed when they appear, so that the sap of the plants will go to form runners. The young plants that are formed on the runners are allowed to take root in pots or in the loose soil about the parent plants.—Chicago Herald. Cfttue of Depression, Farmers and cattle raisers have surveyed the fields carefully and estimated supply and demand, and have been constantly defeated in their estimates of the probable prices for hogs and cattle in the future. What is the matter? It is the conbinatioR of beef and pork packers* Jn 1886 nine of the leading meal packers of Chicago, Kansas City, <etc, in all of the important packing centers, made a solemn contract, and signed, with severe financial penalties, an agreement to keep down the prices of hogs and keep up the price of pork. This agreement has been punctually observed by the parties. The contract provides that each establishment shall do only a certain per cent of all of the business of the pool. If any establishment packs more than its per cent, it pays weekly to the pool 4{c for each' hog in excess of its per cent. If any packer falls Bhort ho receives a bonus of the same amount per hog. Some of the former packing houses have not packed a hog for two years, and have received the bonus for each'hog they were entitled to pack. The houses which have overpacked have paid to the pool over 1300,000 for the privilege. This can easily bo done, as the parties control the price of hogs as well as the selling price of packed and cured pork. So the depression in the price of hogs is well understood. There Is no hope of relief from the understood fact t h a t the present pool was to continue only until November, 1889. T h e r e have bee* combinations by pork packers and beef slaughterers tor fifteen or twenty years, at first temporary and modest in assumptions. At each renewal of the pool the screws have each time been given a new turn, arfa it is probable at the coming November, instead of relief to producers and consumers, the combination will be stronger, demand more, and the rights of producers less. And w h a t is being done in the hog trade is also controlling the price of cattle, as well as booming the price of beef. And these a r e the instrumentalities which are ruling this country.—Des Moines Register. Yarin Notes. Tn building grain stacks it will be economical to place Borne rails, old boards, hay or straw on the ground befor commencing the stack. In case we have a wet fall, or your threshing is delayed, there will not be muddy or rotten buts to go through the machine, or musty grain to go through the bin. Have you ever counted up the cost o t fences around your farm, and the amount of money and labor necessary to ke^p them in repair? If not, you should do so, and then see if you can not devise some plan that is less expensive. In other words, consider the question as to whether or not it is not cheaper to fence in stock than to fence them o u t After the grain is harvested it is a number one plan to clean up the stack yard before beginning stacking, draw out all the manure, and, if any old straw is left that can be used for bedding, put that in as little space as possible, mend up the fences, and have a good ready for stack-making by the time the grain is dry enough to draw in. Of the 4,200 kinds of flowers which grow in Europe only 420, or 10 per c e n t , are odoriferous. The commonest flowers are the white odes, of which there are 1,194 kinds. Less than one fifth of these are fragrant. Of the 9ol kinds of yellow flowers seventy- seven are odoriferous; of the 823 red kinds, eighty-four; of the 594 blue kinds, thirty-one; of the 308 violet blue kinds, thirteen. Of the 240 kinds with combined colors, twenty-eight are fragrant. It is inconvenient to have a shed for each sow separate and apart from others at farrowing time, but we are satisfied that it is the better way to secure health and thrift in the pigs. T h e cost of such sheds, built for the greatest comfort, will be much greater than when one largo house is built; but in our experience the increase in health secured by isolation overbalances the saving in cost in favor of one building. Overgrown chickens are not those that have grown rapidly and attained large size, but the term' applies to chicks that can not stand on their legs, due to rapid growth. The difficulty occurs with cockerels more than pullets, and indicates high feeding. The chicks have good appetites, and are healthy in every respect, except that they can not stand upon their feet but run around on their knees. They usually get over the leg weakness and become the largest and finest birds of the flock. The remedy is to avoid overfeeding them. The skim milk and whey may not be salable, but can be used for producing pork. Pigs will always pay on farms where skim milk is plentiful, and the cost of pork will be but little if other waste material be used in feeding them. A growing pig will need no grain bofore cold weather. Plant turnip seed. The ground is in excellent condition, being damp, and the seed should germinate quickly. As soon as the young plants throw o u t leaves, scatter wood ashes along the row. Give the crop extra attention when the plants are young, and but little work will be required later on* — Cincinnati Enquirer. The Household.

There is a noble disregard of circumstances in the genuine Yankee which makes martyrdom so easily possible that it is almost a pity t h a t the making of martyrs has so generally gone out of fashion. In the country, one day recently, t h e editor was standing with some friends' on a tennis Lawn, when the horse of the village butcher, which was a l w a y s running away with that individual, overturning his cart, throwing him out, and performing like eccentricities, came dashing madly ovey a terrace from tho street, flinging the unfortunate butcher into the tennis net with a shoulder of beef on top of him, and a big block of ice thumpted with a good deal of force into his side. T h e fiery steed completed his work by dragging the wagon to which he was attached over his prostrate master, and then flying away to demolish it and the lawn turf together by careening along until stopped by a tree. The butcher was taken up insensible, and a subsequent investigation showed that he had two ribs broken. As soon as he could be restored to consciousness one of the by-stanaers propounded the usual conundrum whether he was hurt. The injured man looked about on the crowd, attempted to move and found it impossible, gave a sickly and apologetic smile, and answered with a feeble assumption of jauntiness most melancholy to see: "Oh, it's nothing. I don't mind it, I'm used to i t 1 ' la the Orchard. The autumn leaves are whirled a w a y ; The sober skies look down On faded fields and woodlands gray, And the dun colored town.

Her deep, serene, and dove-like eyes Are downward beat; her face, Whereon the day's pale shadow lies, Is sweet with nameless grace.

P e r - haps Colonel Ingersoll and those w h o were with him will long remember tho following selected incident: Colonel Ingersoll was thrown o n * day into the society of Henry W a r d Beecher. There were four or ftvoi tlemen present, all of whoa, prominent in the world of brai variety of topics were discuss* decided brilliancy, but no alius made to religion. The distinguished infidel was of course too polite to i n t r o - duce the subject himself, but one of the party fin illy, desiring to see a tilt between Bob and Beoeher, made' a playful remark about Colonel I n g e r - soil's idiosyncrasy, as he termed i t The Colonel at once defended his views In his usual apt rhetoric; in faot h e waxed eloquent He was replied to by several gentlemen in very effective repartee. Contrary to the expectations of all, Mr. Beecher remained an abstracted listener and said not a word. The gentleman who introduced the t o p - ic with the hope that Mr. Beecher would answer Colonel Ingersoll at last remarked, "Mr. Beecher, have you nothing to say on this subject?" The old man slowly lifted himself from his attitude and replied, " N o t h - ing; in fact if you will excuse me forchanging the conversation, I will say that while you gentlemen were talking, my mind was bent on a most d e p l o r a - ble spectacle which I witnessed today." •What was it?" at once inquired Colonel Ingersoll, who, notwithstanding his peculiar views of the hereafter, is noted for his kindness of h e a r t " W h y , " said Mr. Beecher, " a s I was walking down town to-day I saw a p o o r blind man, with crutches, slowly and carefully pickiDg his way through a cesspool of mud in the endeavor to* cross the street. He had just reached the middle of the filth when a big, burly ruffian, himself all bespattered, rushed up to him, jerked the crutches from under the >un fortunate man and left him sprawling and helpless in t h e pool of liquid dirt which had almost ingulfed him." " W h a t a brute he was!" said the Colonel. " W h a t a brute he was!'' they all echoed. "Yes," said the old m m , rising from* his chair and brushing back his long,, white hair, while his eyes glittered with his old-time fire, as he bent them on Ingersoll—"Yes, Colonel Ingersoll, and you are the man. T h e human soul is lame, but Christianity gives it crutches to enable it to pass the h i g h - way of life. I t is your t e a c h i n g t h a t knocks these crutches from under it and leaves it a helpless, rudderless wreck in the sloughs of despond. If robbing the human soul of its only support on this earth—religion—be your profession, why, ply it to your heart's content. It requires an architect to erect a building; an incendiary may reduce it to ashes." The old man sat down and silence brooded over the scene.

Oe Witt Talmaga JNftdav W H directed to the lesson of tharad from those with whom w e our daily walks. Hie text was: crieth without; she uttereth her the street*." Prov. 1, 2a H e Tie are all ready to listen to the voices of nature—the voice* of the mountain, the voices of the sea, the voices of toe storm, the voices of the star. A s in some of the cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at either end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the other, so in the great cathedral of nature responds to day, and nijrht to and flower to flower, and star to star, HaS great harmonies of the universe. ^ p M s l spring time is an evangelist in Dlos- 'if^Npftjireachlag of G o d s love; and the winter Is a prophet—white bearded—denouncing woe apainat our aius. We are all ready to listen to too voices of nature; but how l e w of u? learn anything from the voice* of the noisy and dusty street. You go to your merchandise, and your mechanism, and to your work, and you come back again —and often with an indifferent heart you See through the streets. Are there no ings for us to learn from these pavements •over which we pussrf Are there no tufts of truth growing up betwe n these cobbleatones, beuien with the feet of toil, and pain, and pleasure, the slow tread of old age, and the quick step of childhood! Aye, there are great harvests to be reaped; and s o w I thrust in the sickle because the bar. v e s t is ripe. "Wisdom crieth without; she «tteretb her Voice in the streets." JD the nrst place the street impresses me ^rith the fact that this life is a scene of toil and struggle. B y 10 o'clock every day the city iB jarring with wheels, and shuitiing With feet, and humming with voices, and covered with the breath of smokestacks, and a-rush with traffickers. Once in a while you rind a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as though he had nothing to do; but for the most part, as you find men going down these streets, on the way to business, there is anxiety in their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at the first possible moment. You are jostled by those who have bargains to make and notes to s e l l Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with a roll •of bills, on this dray with a load of*-gooda, -digging a cellar, or shinglin? a rooi, or shoeing a horse, or building d wall, or mendine a watch, or binding a book. Industry, with her thousand arms, and thousand eyes, and thousand feet, goes on singing her sons of work! work! work! while the mills drum it, and" the steam whistles hfe it. AU this is not because men iove toil. Some one remarked: "Every man is as lazy as he can afford to be." But it is because necessity, with stern brow and with uplifted whip, stands over them ready whenevrr they relax their toil to mako their shoulders sting with the lash. Can it be tha>, passing up und down these streets on your way to work and business, you do not learn anything of the world'stoil, and anxiety, and struggle? Oh! how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on thewau-h, how many miles traveled, how many burdens carried, how many losses suffered, how many battles fought, how many victories gained, how many defeats suffered, how many exasperations endured —wliat losses, what hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what dispuir! Sometimes I have utopped at the corner of the street as the multitude went hitnerund you, it has seemed to be a great Vantomine, and as I looked tipon it my heart broke. This greut tide of human life that goes down the street is a rapid, tossed and turned aside, and dashing ahead and driven back—beautiful in it* confusion and confused in its beauty. In the carpeted aisles of the forest, In the- woods from which the •eternal shadow is never lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam, sprin ling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest,^* the best place to study God; but in the rushing, swarminsr, raving street is the best place to study man. Going •down to your V>lace of business and coming home again, I charge you look about—see these signs of poverty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin, of bereavement—and as you So through the streets, and come back nrough the streets, gather up in the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all the losses, all the suffering, all the bereavements of those whom you pass, and present them in prayer before an all sympathetic God. Then in the great <iay of eternity there will be thousands of persons with whom you in this world never exchanged oue word who will raise up and call you blessed; and there will be a thousand fingers pointed at you in heaven, saying: "That is the man, that is the woman, who helped me when I -was hungry, and sick, and wandering, and lost, ana heart broken. That is the man, that is the woman," and the blessing will •come down upon you as Christ shall say: "I was hungry and ye fed me, I was nak..»d and ye clothed me, I was sick and in prison and ye visited me; inasmuch as ye did it to these poor waifs of the streets, ye did it to me." Again, the street Impresses me with the fact that all classes and conditions of society must commingle. We sometimes culture a wicked exclusiveness. Intellect de- •epises ignorance, Kennement will have nothing to do with boorishness. Gloves tate the sunburned hand, and the high forehead despises the flat head; and the hedgerow will have nothing to do the wild corpsewood. and Anthens Nazereth. This ought not lo be so. tronomer must come down from his revelry and help us in our naviga- # £ § & - T h e surgeon must rome away from • 1a% study of the human organism and set Our broken bones. The chemist must come away from his laboratory, where he has been studying analysis and synthesis, and help us to understand the nature of the soils. I bless God that all classes of people are compelled to meet on the street The glittering coach wheel clashes against the scavenger's cart. Fine robes run against the peddler's pack. Robust health meets wan sickness. Honesty confronts fraud. Every class of people meets every other class. Indepenand modesty, pride and humility, and beastliness, frankness and hymeet; ng on the same block, in the treet, in the same city. Oh I that is ulonion meant when he said: "The the poor meet together: the Lord le Maker of them all." I like this Smocratic principle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which recognizes the fact that we stand before God on one and the same platform. Do not take on any airs; whatever position you have gained in society, you are nothtng but a man, born of the same parent, regenerate*! by the same Spirit, cleansed by the same blood, to lie -down in the same dust, to get up in the aame resurrection. It is high time that we -all acknowledged not only the Fatherhood •of Qoo, but toe brotherhood of man. , *&£*1 £ ? • * • * taprassas n » with tha fact that it is a very hard thing for a man to keep his heart right and to get to heaven, •uuuute temptations aprlog upon ua from theae placet of public concourse. Amid so much affluence how much temptation to covetouaneea, and to be discontented with our humble lot. Amid so many opportunities for overreaching, what temptation to vanity. Amid so many saloons of strong drink, what allurement to dissipation. In the maelstroms of the street, how many make quick and eternal shipwreck. If a man of-war cornea back from a battle, and is towed into the navy yard, w e go down to look at the splintered spars and count the bullet holes, and look with oatriotic admiration on the flag that floated in victory from the masthead. Hut that man is more of a curiosity who baa gone through thirty years of the sharp-shooting of business life, and yet sails on, victor of the temptation* of the street. Oh! how many have gone down under the pressure, leaving not so much aa the patch of canvass to tell where they perished. They never hod any peace. Their dishonesties kept tolling in their ears. If 1 bad an ax, and could split open the beams of that fine house, perhaps 1 would And in the very heart of it a skeleton. In his very best wine tuere is a smack of the poor man's sweat. Oh! is it strange that when a man has devoured widows' houses, he is disturbed with indigestion} AiV-the forces of nature are against him. Again, the street impresses me with the fact that life is full of pretensions and sham. What subterfuge, what double dealing, what two-f acedneas I Do all the people who wish you good moinlug really hope for you a happy day * Do all the people who shake hand9 love each other? Are all those anxious about your health who inquire concerning it* Do all want to see you who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much as it pretends to know? Is there not many a wretched stock of goods with a a brilliant show window* Passing up and down these streets to your business and your work, are you not impressed with the fact that much of society is hollow, and that there are subterfuges and pretensions} Oh; how many there are who swagger and strut, and how few people who are natural and walk. While fops simper, and fools chuckie.and simpletons giggle.how few people are natural and laugh. The courtesan and the libertine go down the street in be.mtiful apparel, while within the heart there are volcanoes of passion consuming their life away. I say these things not to create in you incredulity and misanthropy, nor do I forget there are thousands of people a gr«at deal better than they seem; but 1 do not think any man is prepared for the conflict of this life until he knows this particular peril. Ehud comes pretending to pay his tax to King Kglon. and while ne stands in front of the king, stabs him through with a dagger until the haft went in after the blade. Judas iseariot kissed Christ. Again the street impresses me with the fact that it is a great Held for Christian charity. There are hunger and suffering, and want and wretchedness in the country; but these evils chieMy congregate in our great cities. On every street crime prowls, and drunkenness staggers, and shame winks, and pauperism thrusts out its hand asking for alms. Here want is most squalid and hunsrer is most lean. A Christian man, going aionsr a street in New York, saw a poor lad and he stop]>ed and said: "My boy. do you know how to read and write j" The boy made no answer. The man asked the question twice and thrice: "Can you read and write?" and then the boy answered with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. He said in defiance: '"No, sir; I can't read nor write neither. God, sir, don't want me to read and write. Didn't he take away my father so long ago I never remember to have seen him* and haven 11 had to go along the street to get something to fetch home to eat for the folks* and didn't i, as soon as I could carry a basket, have to go out and pick up cinders, and never have no schooling, sir?

Horn in degradation, as they get up from thoir nanus and knees to walk, the.v take their first step on the road to despair. Let us go forth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue them. If you are not willing to go lorth yourself, then give of your means: and if you are too lazy to po and too stingy to help, then get out of the way, and hide yourself in the dens and caves of the earth, lest, when Christ's chariot comes along, the horses' hoofs trample you into the mire. Beware least the thousands of the destitute of your city, in the last great day, rise up and curse your stupidity and your neglect. One cold winter s day, as a Christian man was going along the Battery in New York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate, shiverinsr in the cold. He said to her: 4iMy child, what do you sit there for this cold day?" "Qh." she replied, "I am waiting for somebody to come and take care of mo." "Why," said the man, "what makes you think anybody will come and take care of you?" "Oh," Bhe said, "my mother died last," week and I was e y i n g very much, and she said : 'Don't cry, my dear; though 1 am gone and your father is gone, the Lord will send somebody to take care of you.' My mother never told a lie; she said some one would come and take care of me, and I am waiting for them to come." O yes, they are waiting for you. Men of great hearts, gather them in. gather them in. It is not the will of vour Heavenly Father that one of these little ones should perish. Lastly, the street Impresses me with the fact that all the people are looking forward. I see expectancy written on almost every face I meet between here and Brooklyn bridge, or walking the whole lengths of Broadway. Where you find a thousand people walking straight on, you only find one man stopping and looking back. The fact is, God made us all to look ahead because w e are immortal In this tramp of the multitude on the streets, I hear the tramp of a great host, marching and marching for eternity. Beyond the office, the store, the shop, there is a world, populous and tremendous. Through God's grace, may you reach that blessed place. A great throng fills those boulevards and the streets are a-rush with the chariots of conquerors. The inhabitants go up and down, but they never weep and they never toil. A river flows through that citv. with rounded and luxurious banks, and trees of life ladett' with everlasting fruitage bend their branches to dip the crystal. No plumed hearse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing in every vein they know not how to die. Those towers of strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam in the light of a, sun that never sets. Oh, hesiven, beautiful heaven! Heaven, where our friends are. They take no census in that city, for it is inhabited by "a multitude which no man can number." Rank above rank. Host above host. Gallery above gallery, sweeping all around the heavens. Thousands of thousands. Millions of millions. Blessed are they who enter in through the gate into that city. Oh! start for it today. Through the blood of the great sacrifice of the Son of God, take up your march to heaven. "The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." Join this great throng marching heavenward. All the doors of invitation are open.

WASHINGTON, SEPTKMBKR 24,1889. Over two months ago I predicted in .these columns that as soon as Milwaukee encampment of the Grand Army had folded its tents Commissioner Tanner's official head would be in the executioner's basket. The prediction was easy and its verification surprised no one save, perchance, the Corporal himself, who wept copiously when the President's abrupt demand for his resignation reached him. The Corporal himself, had met his Waterloo at Milwaukee, when the Grand Army refused to make bis quarrel theirs. Viewed from a political standpoint the removal of Commissioner TanDer is a heroic measure, the cutting off a limb to save a life. President Harririson recognized three months apro that the Commissioner must go and used every available means to convince him of that necessity. With an obstinacy characteristic of his inherent indescretion, the Corporal refused to take the hint and the kick followed. It is now stated that Mr. Tanner's friends will demand the publication of the correspondence between Secretary Noble and him, in which his retirement was first suggested. Should this be done, it can only be to lh« Corporal's additional mortification, as it would undoubtedly show that the charges were based upon the Corporal's incapacity to properly perform the duties of a high position. President Harrison has only himself to blame for the Tanner trouble and if any injury is wrought to the republican ]6arty he alone is to blame. None of the foremost politicans of bis party recommended Mr. Tanner's appointment; indeed, they went further and protested against it. Senator Hiscock, of New York, who, being from the Corporal's own state, might have been expected to enthusiastically support him, would not indorse the nomination after it was made. Corporal Tanner was simply too small for the position he occupied. His selection was due to sentiment and the idea that it would please the veterans of the Grand Array. It did please them until they discovered his weakness and incapacity, of course, that was enough for them, as the members are too good citizens to want any man retained in office against the best interests of the Republic. But Mr. Tanner's fall was greatly hastened by his vanity and impertinence. After his selection as Commissioner of pensions he tried to avenge himself in petty ways upon the members of Congress who had opposed his appointment. To use his own expression he''turned them all down." Essentially a vulgar man, he became an abusive one, and in becoming abusive, he unfortunately selected the wrong victims. He failed to recognize any j:ower higher than himself. When he found out that the Secretary of the Interior had some authority in matters pertaining to the Pension Office it only seryed to raise his vie. He did not know enough to bend to the inevitable. He chose to break. thereby elevate that gentleman to the position he new occupies and become merely one oH his political followers. That would be a calamity to Gen. Warner and President Harrison may have to look further for a Commissioner. Hugh J. G rant of New York, has admissably succeeded in making a laughing stock of himself by his letter asking the co-operation of the business men of Washington in securing the location of the "International Exhibition in New York." It was a phenomenal assurance that impelled the writing of such a letter to the people of a city that confidently expects to have the exhibition itself. The amusing thing is that the letter is ad Iressed to the Mayor of Washington. Mr. ^ r a n t is not an ignorant rabid politician. He is an alumnus of Columbia College, a man of travel and attainments. That he should have been ignorant of the fact that Washington has no mayor a n i no one official occupying an equivalent office is astonishing. We Have Tliem on Oar List. The man who uses a rubber stamp. The man who wants the paper to abuse his enemies, but not let his mime appear. The man who gets all his free printing done at home, and sends his pay abroad.

The man who is going to pay as soon as the river freezes over so that he can come over on th-s ice. The man who has no objection at all to his local paper, but is already taking too many distant city papers The man who stops the paper because he is thinking of going away, but will send for it as soon as he gets settled. The man who wants th<5 paper to be always puffing the town, but goes away from home to do his trading. The man who takes the paper ten years before paying and then stops it because ten dollars is too much for a paper. The man who can't appreciate the difference between a live newspaper and a last year's baking powder advertisement. The man who sends away from home for his job work, or orders from every snide canvassing agent, rather than patronize home. The man who says his home paper is no good and lie wouldn't carry it home for it, but gobbles it as soon a:, he sees his neighbor has brought it home, and reads every work of it.

Sigler's. of a successor to Commissioner Tanner is agitating the public mind. To-day it seems most probably that ex-Congressman Warner, of Missouri, will be asked to take the place, in fact he now has the offer under final consideration. He is a man of ability, a lawyer learned in the Jaw, and a man of executive ability. Best of all, from a political standpoint, he is an ex-commander of the Grand Army and his appointment would heal any wounds in that quarter. The Grand Army could hardly question the removal of one of their commanders on account of manifest incapacity when one still better liked waa selected to succeed him. Mr. Warner's hesitancy to accept the position is due to two causes. In the first place his income from his bar practice is over $30,000 per annum and the major part of that would be lost if he accepted the commissionership. In the second place he is now the acknowledged leader of the republican party in Missouri. If he should accept a po- Gross Cruelty.

F a b l e * Mr. George Russell, of London, hat just published a little volume of "Recollections of Some Wise and Witty Men and Women™—the sifting*, he tells u«, of notebooks in which he has always entered the good things he has heard at dinners, " i t has been a pleasant labor for me," says Mr. Rus- Jell, "to put these fragments together, and I would fain hope that they may induce some one to do their best, while enlarging the sphere and improving the quality of society conversation, %o 'take a note1 of what they hear, and so to furnish material for biography and history.11 Here are some r.f Mr. Russell's "tit-bits," selected at random: " 'The liberty of the press,'" said the Duchess of Gordon at a dancing party; *'l have often heard of it, but never saw it till now." Curran said of a witness who had left out an i in writing a word that she had murdered the King's English. "Only knocked out an eye,11 said Egan. Earl Russell, being told that his definition of a proverb was felicitous ("The wit of one and the wisdom of many11) said that he should have been glad to have thought of the definition of a secret—"Something for o n e - enough for two — nothing for three," of which he did not know the author. Princess Charlotte, who was very fmssionate, slapped the face of her ady-fn-waiting, and was reproved by Bishop Fischer, who had made a prayer for her against passion. He asked her if she had said i t "Yes,11 she replied i "and it was well that I had, or I should have torn her eyes out." A bull made by a friend of S.Rogers: •'No children is an hereditary defect in some families." Lord Abercorn said (1800), upon an observation made by his country neighbor, "My Lord, the trees have grown prodigiously of late." "Sir, they have nothing else to do." (Quoted by S. Rogers, who remarked on the answer as worthy of Johnson. G. Selwyn said, "The only happy pairs I have ever known are those of the House of Commons." An Irish climax—"Single misfortunes seldom come alone, and the greatest is generally accompanied by a still greater." "A man can't be everything; His Lordship is» a man of qualitv, not of quantity"—said of the third earl of Aberdeen on his making a false quantity. Paer answered Sir James Macintosh on his saying that greatest of rascals: is an Irishman, and a Scotchman; he is a priest, and might have been a lawyer; he is a Constitu* tionalist, and might have been a turncoat." "I say, Mr. Wilkes, how long have you cried, 'God save the King?1 " asked the Priuce of Wales. "Ever since I have known your Royal High*- ness." Wilkes said he could not play at whist, because he mistook a king for a knave. A Scotchman said that he did not leave his country for want; he had enough of that there. Sheridan bribed a man by promising him a candle-snuffur's place, which Canning said was a "£agrans delictum"— burning shame. Sheridan's toast at Stafford (town of shoemakers): "May the whole world trample on the trade of Stafford." A Lonely Old Man. I ttiiw an old-fashioned, one-horse carriage driving down the avenue today. The body stood high on its springs, the paint was rusty, and the curtains were ripped here and there and were sagged and blistered. It was drawn by a stiff-legged white horse that walked with the dignity of age and distinguished service. The driver, an old colored man, wore no livery.but wore a linen coat and a high-crowned stiff-brimmed straw hat that were the counterpart—except for longer service —of the coat and hat worn by the old gentlemen who sat alone on the bsck seat of the carriage. On the front seat was a market basket. The old gentleman was a strikinglooking person. He appeared to belong to a past age, as did his horse, his carriage, and his driver. The whole rig seemed to have just come from the seclusion of sorrow and to be in mourning for the dead bygones. The old man's locks were heavy and lonp*, but white with age. The broad shoulders were stooped and the face wore arr expression of deep abstraction and utter loneliness. It was a strong face, with a heavy forehead and determined chin, but marked throughout with lines of sorrow. The old man is Judge Holt, who was in Buchanan's Cabinet, and was afterwards Judge Advocate General. He lives in great seclusion in a large house on Capitol Hill, surrounded in Eart by a brick wall and in part by a igh iron fence. He drives out in this old rig to the market, but he goes nowhere else, has no companions, and I have never seen him stop his carriage to speak with any one, or even to look from the window to bow. His house stands on a high terrace with considerable ground around it, and within ita gate his old servant is his only., cornpa n i oa. — Washington Letter. Brown (despairingly)— Dumley, Tin ruined.

Grove W. Griffin, who keeps a grocery across the street from the county jail in Muskegon, was counting his c.ish and preparing to go home the other night, when a stranger entered the dour, and presenting a revolver to Griffin's face, ordered him to stand and ..,„ „„„ ^ .„,. ^ . . , . . „ . ~. deliver. Gnttiu started to go round trte-fT)ttawa county, have been arrested counter to give the money to the robber, but the villain, thinking Griffin was preparing to resist, immediately tired his revolver at him, the bail passing through GriJiu's wrist and p.oughiug a furrow in his neck, where it lodged back of the jugular vein. Griffin retained self-control enough to hand the highwayman his purse cont dning #1.>0, and the latter at ouce left the store and disappeared. Going to his home, u block away, as fast as he could, Griftin gave the al rm and a physician was summoned and the police notified. The wounded man bled profusely, b u t his physician says the wound, while .•serious, is not necessarily fatai. He was unable to find the ball. Griffin associates his assailant with a man who had entered his store in a drunken condition a few days before and had made such trouble that Griftin h..d him arrested. This fellow, who lives at Buffton, about four miles down the lake, declared he wou.d get even with Griffin and *'tix'' him as soon as he got a chance. The description of the highwayman, as distinctly given by Griftin, tallies so close with the Bluffton man, whose name is Henry Williams, that the police went down the lake and arrested him. Mysterious Murder at Jackson. The body of"a man was found lying in t h e mill pond on Liberty street in Jackson on the 13th inst. The remains were drawn out, and examination showed that murder had been committed, and the victim thrown where he was found, to hide the crime. The face was badly bruised and there was « wound on the left temple evidently made by a pistol, although the doctors say the •wound was not necessarily fatal. In his pocket was found a letter in a large envelope, und postmarked "Soldiers' Home, Grand Kapids," and addressed 4 'Qrman Dickinson, Colon," (or Coldwateri, t h e name of the place being partly obliterated. The -dead man was evidently about 50 years old, was dressed like a laborer in a dark suit, new boots anfl a straw hat. He had a smooth face, iron gray hair and weighed about 1.0 pounds. 'Ihe man was discharged from the soldiers' home June 34, having been granted $820 back pay. The pension was rated at 912 per tnonth. T h e dead man served in the 136th New York infantry and had evidently been dead About a week. The man proves to have been Orman Dickinson. H e has a brother living at Colon, who took charge of the body. Tried to Kill His Wife. Richard Bilkey, over 50years of age, is in Jail at islipemiug for an attempt to murd e r his wife. Tbe pair were married in England thirty years ago. They disagreed and Bilkey caine to Islipemiug, leaving tbe wife behind. Several years after she joined him, but the pair again disagreed ami have lived together but little. A few days •dfto Bilkey returned from Montana, where he hiid been two years. His first night at home was marked by a row, in which Bilkey broke some furniture. He w a s arrested ,but promised to leave the city and •was released. He went to his house and on entering drew a big revolver and aimed it at his wife. H e r son. a young man of 22, grasped him about the body and deflected the arm holding the pistol so that tbe two shots he fired missed. Bilkey was disarme d and jailed.

F i r e broke out in the cellar of Banberg, Bloom & Company's dry yoods establisbmeut in Louisville, Ky., on the 15th inst., and in ten minutes names were bursting from the windows ou the third floor. F i v e minutes later part of the roof went in. The tire department was out in full force promptly, aud ten minutes after the first alarm half a dozen streams were pl.ying on the burning building, but it w . s soon clear that nothing could saVo it and the hose was turned upon the Louisvile hotel, two doors away. That building was s-mokiug and it was a sharp half hour s tight to make its safety reasonably sure. Several small buildings adjoining were destroyed. Six liremen were caught by falling walls and killed. Their remains were taken from the debris terribly mangled. A conservative estini te of the loss on stock is #7;;0,000. The insurance is heavy and will about cover the loss. The building was a double six-st. ry, owned by tbe firm aud valued at $75,000. Beer-Makers in Council. A secret meeting of the national brewing employes' society was held iu Cincinnati Sept. 14. It has leaked out that they declined to co operate with tho league for tbe preservation of citizens' rights in Cincinnati, in their efforts to secure the repeal of laws restricting the sale of beer, not for the reason that the association was opposed to tho sale of beer after midnight or on Sunday,but because a repeal of the Ohio law on the subject would inure to the benefit of the proprietors of breweries whose employes are not members of the union. They adopted resolutions favoringeight hours for a day's work aud auaiust patronizing the free beer of Cincinnati, Milwaukee and St. Louis. The next meet will be held in St. Louis in 1891. _ Her "Catarrh" Cured. Miss Cbira Boll, the ^2-year old daughter of John Boll of Canton,0.,is the subject of an odd experience. For years she was troubled with what she supposed was catarrh. This affliction has bothered her Bince she was two years old. A few days ago Miss Boll consulted a physician who came to the conclusion that some foreign substance was lodged in one of the nostrils. He probed for it, and, after removing a few pieces of bone, came upon a substance which, upon examination, proved to be a small cloth-covered button. A second search brought forth another button. Miss Boll is breathing better than she has since infancy. GENERAL. The case of Deputy Marshal Nagle is to be taken to the supreme court by the California state authorities. A freight train was derailed near Atlanta, Ga., the other night, and the engineer, fireman and brakeman were killed. Suit has been begun by Mrs. Mary E. Hopkins, widow of the late cashier of the wrecked Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati, against the Kentucky Mutual Security Fund Company to recover $5,000, the amount of an insurance policy taken out by Hopkins in her favor. A wreck occurred on the Erie rood near Tioga Junction, Pa., the other evening, in which three persons were killed, and over 20 seriously injured. The smoker and three passenger cars were completely demolished. The wreck took lire, but was extinguished after great difficulty and passengers rescued. " B o b " Younger, the youngest of the notorious Younger brothers, who were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in connection with the Northtield bank robbery, died in prison at Stillwater, Minn., on the 17th inst., of consumption.

FOREIGN. Two men named Taylor and Annend while hunting with a party near Halifax, N. S., fired at wuat they thought was a moose. A terrible shriek undeceived them and they found that they had killed two of their friends uamed Mitchell aud Webber. The Loudon strike is practically ended, most of the strikers returning to work on the li.th inst. it is remarkable that not a single ea*e of violence has growu out of the strike. Six cotton mills at Blackburn, E ngland have been closed down on account of the depressed condition of trade. Advices fromZatuib .r state that Stanley is expected lo reach the eastern sea coae* about the last of October. Buderlnjc* of a Whitllng* Crew. Advices just received from Point Hope, Alaska, give thrilling det .ils of tne loss of the whuliug ban* Little Ohio, which sailed from San i< rancisco on Dec. 5, 1837, aud was wrecked ou lJ oiut Hope on Oct. 3, 1888. There is revealed a story of airocity, selfishness and abandonment of comrades by some of the survivors which is almost without pareliei iu Arctic auuals. 'ihe vessel drove ou the snore iu a blinding snow storm at fl o clock at-night. She was within 40 feet of ihe beach wuen great waves began poUuding her to pieces. Her timbers were rotten aud she soon began to crumble. Thirteen men reached the shore while three, wno were on the mainmast, came down on land without wetting their feet. Tbe c p t a i n aud two otticers were drowned. The other officers knew that they were upon f'Oiut Hope and that a uat.ve village Was near, while the trading station was only eight miles away, but they seemed to forget every thing iu their blind desire to nee before tho storm. P e se, the mate, was hurt and begged for assist uce. They helped bun aluug lor a few rods and then left iuui to perish from the coLi. Soon afterward the Purtguese boatswain succumbea to cold. He was almost naked and would have survived with clothing, but although some of his messmates bud double pea-jackets noue offered to give him one. Kd. Mason, who r..n the steam weiuch, was left clinging to a spar in tae water, so badly hurt that he couid not drag himself upon the beach. B e implored the men not to abandon him, but tuey paid no heed to his cries. i< ormnateiy the water was w rmer thau the air, and kept him alive until he was rescued the next morning. Tho lugitives from the wreck, instead of keeping along the beach, struck across a high exposed divide where'tho bitter wind cut them io the bone, k inally they reached shelter, but not until they bad lett three men behind to perish. At the station food was scarce, but these men squandered on the n.tive women hour and other articles that they sorely needed. It was found th..t 15 were alive and 18 had perished. Two hags were sent down to attract passing steamers, but none responded to the distress signal. Finally ou Oct. l:i, nine days alter the wreck, a steamer passed. Thero was a heavy sea, but the third mate, Manual Lopez, and five men, all prominent in the desertion of their comrades, put out in a whale boat to intercept h^Q, Tho boat was evidently swamped as they were uevor heard of again. A few hours later the steam whaler Narwhal slowed up, but finally resumed her course, 'Ibis disappointment c.used the second officer, Miles, to break down. From a strong man he became a puny inv lid and died in a few days. By good luck, the survivors at the station found food to last through the winter. An unusual .supply of hsh was thrown up on the beach, while reindeer came within M miles of the station for the first time in tho memory of the natives. Seals and whales in the spring eked out the supply, and eight survivors wore tukeu up by the Thetis to. P o r t Clarence. There they made complaint against Cap. McGregor of the Narwhal, far passing Point Hope and disreg a r d i n g the signal of distress, but Mc- Gregor claimed that no boat put out, and he simply thought that it was a device of the natives to secure food.

After the delivery of this weighty prophesy, the Colonel reached for a match, lighted it and his well-colored meerschaum, and sent forth a cloud of smoke that wrapthe five occupants of the rough board shanty in semi-obscurity. The speaker, as ne affirmed, expected no contradiction. None was proffered The "Cripple" proceeded to drowsily place the greasy eachre deck on the bottom of' an empty cracker barrel for a "solitaire." Sam White, the only man in camp who went by his true name, continued to wind with the wire taken from an old broom, a strained shovel handle. The "Count" and the "Prudisal," for widely dissimilar reason*, were stretched at full length on opposite bunks, presumably listening to the 'Jolouei'a mendacious criticism of the way the war was being conducted, and the American Government in general administered. Of the two last named occupants of the cabin, the Prodigal was seemingly the best listener. He never grew restless He maintained the most respectful silence during the longest harangue, calmly gazing at the speaker with wide-open dreamy eyes. JHe seldom interrupted, but if perchance he did, it was with some remark that was so foreign to the subject matter in hand, that it fairly took the speaker's breath away. The Colonel feared the interruptions, and was consequently always more or less hurried in his arguments. The Prodigal did not mean to be discourteous, but his thoughts were far away. He was home-sick, and had been so since the day he struck California, five years before, in '56. Unlike his com pan ons, he hal a home to be sick for. Not only did he have a home, but what appealed more powerfully to the hearts of the miners, he had a "gal." A girl that he wrote to and who answered his letter, which letter about made up the epistolary matter of the office at Snake Fork. The Prodigal, like every gold-hunter in those balmy days, had expected to become rich in a few mouths. Many a time had he planned how he would return home with his wealth and placate the scruples of his sweetheart's parents with rich gifts and a large bank account But fortune had proven a fickle goddess. He had worked early and late, gone through all the ups and downs of a miner's nomadic life. Luck Had not been with him. At homo on the old farm he had been taught that there was no such thing as luck, but he had since learned by bitter experience that truisms are local, not general, and that luck was the real molten image before which the miner sacrificed his burnt offerings. Perhaps it was because of his neglect to the California god that he at no time since his advent, had been possessed of more than enough to barely pay his passage back to Vermont. It was the oftime repeated story of his leaving home to go in search of a fortune in strange lands, and of the anxious parents awaiting his return, that had suggested to the Cripple the name of the Prodigal for the quondam farm boy. The other members of the camp did not understand this appellation until the Cripple, who was a Methodist minister's son, repeated to them the Lord's sad parable of the prodigal son, which recital so deeply impressed them that the Prodigal, invested in the new title, in some measure took upon himself the personality of the original, and was ever after considered an object of pity. Though the Colonel often said to the Count as he would look up from his work and see the Prodigal seated on a rock, his eyes filled with a far away look: *'lf that 'er boy only knew what his dad had awaiting for him! Think o' ut, Count, a whole fattened beef." The story, by frequent repetition, got so twisted that in the eyes of the miners he became the real prodigal, and his story was often told at the grocery on Snake Fork as a veritable fact. "Why, sir," Sq. Doolittie, poatmasier and merchant, would say, raising on his toes in his earnestness; "why, sir, this yere same Prodigal, artor whom the mine on Bellevue Fork war named, had ter live with the bogs and eat cactus. Right in this free country. Fact, sir." The Prodigal took all of these stories seriously, and began to believe them himself' At least he never .took the trouble to dispute them. Only at times, when the boys were puncturing him with questions as to his past life, he would wander away from the c a m o a n d u p t h e gradually sloping Little Mountain, to a .great bowlder, whose immensity made it a marked object for miles around. Here they would find him, seated under its shade, his ey2s turned away down the valley of the Sacramento. Here ho would sit for hours, oblivious to all else save his own thoughts. The squirrels learned that they had nothing to fear from the intruder, and whould whisk merrily past, bearing nuts to their winter cache. Two brilliant humming-birds flew close to his head in quest of the sweets of the syringa that grew in the crevice of the rocks, in the sky above v piping flame-colored orioles circled undis- \% turbod by the drooping figure below. The ^:ipreezc that cooled his heated face was laden with the aroma of the flowers in tho gulch beneath. AU nature seemed to extend a soothing hand. The Cripple ouco asked him what he was doing up there all alone, and he answered so innocently that it stopped the jeer on his lips: "Talking with Annie." So ever after when he was missing the boys would say: "Off talking wilh Annie." Tho rough natures of the miners respected this sentiment, and Annie bocaino the tutelary Goddess of the camp. Whenever they would speculate In tho illusions of hopo. however thoy might diffor as to the best methods of disbursing their expected wealth, they agreed perfectly on one score, namely: to ^rivo to tho Prodigal and Annie a rousing wedding, "N\O kin doit • ; * ? • Jest aa well as not," the Colonel said one Su»> day afternoon, aa he stood carefully propped up against a bowlder, contemplating with wide-open, dreaming eyes a pool of tobacco Juice a few feet in front of him. "What's a few thousand more nor less," he went on with a magnificent wave of his badly soiled hand, "when that 'ere placer is reeking with dust f" Whereupon, with a sigh and a parting salvo of Juice squirted with mathematical accuracy into the placid depths of the pool, he picked up his pick, cast a benevolent glance on the unconscious object of his remarks and resumed the motions which out of politeness were denominated work. The Prodigal Mine was about played out, not worked out, for it was still rich in possibilities. The present proprietor had taken it up two years before. They "had never made out of it anything but Chinamen's wages," as the Colonel often sneeringly remarked. They would have abandoned the mine long before but sacrificing their pride. Their last claim, two miles down the run, had been sold for a song to a company of "tenderfeet," and greatly to their astonishment had panaed out big. So the proprietors of the Prodigal had stuck, out of "sheer cusscdncss." In two years they had gone through all the epochs of a miner's life. By days they had been millionaireshopeful; .had seen the bottom of their pockets and the bottom of the pork-barrel; had lost heart, and had put in a farwell blast more than a dozen times. For the last two days they had done nothing. The Colonel was on a strike. Even Jim White, the controling spirit of the camp, could not keep him at work. The Count, who originally had been styled "No.ount," cut down for every), day use, to Count, did not have th« nerve to ;oin boldly In a strike, but iustead complained of a lame leg, which he kepi carefully wrapt in a canvas shot-bag, and which lameness he accented by a spasmodic limp whenever the thought occurred to aim. As work ceased the Prodigal became uneasy. He would spend hours up on Little Mountain, or wander aimlessly about the slucices. He could not entertain the thought of breaking camp. While he never asserted himself, or even took part in the discussions, the pleading look in his babyish blue eyes told only too plainly what his feeiings were. Oh this particular afternoon it was rain ing—a cold, drizzling rain. For that reason the Colonel had listeners, even if they were unwilling ones, to his mendacious war stories. The rigors of winter were giving place to a greenness of verdure that in any other country would herald spring. But in California it stood for no such nappy denouement The month of January had given place to February. The snow under the spell of the midday sun had slipped away down the many canyons, and had left behind the harsh, abraded lines of a landscape that was as yet barely covered by the tender grass. The misty glimpse of this picture through the d'rty 2x3 window, the chilling dampness of the weather, the lowness of the larder, all conspired to depress the spirits of the five. Even Jim White found himself acquiescing in the: clamorous wishes of the Count and Colonel. The Cripple said he didn't care a , and went on with his game. The Prodigal alone stood uucommitted by speech. The mine had been named in his honor, and was the basis of all his liopes. Around it were gathered tho brightest dreams of his life. For two long years he had worked unceasingly. With every "clean-up" he had expected that the next would send him home to Annie, His faith had never lagged. His silent determination had kept up the spirits of the others. Life was a serious matter with t\im; he never laughed; he seldom smiled, and paradoxical as it may seem he never blasphemed, but on one occasion, and that was one afternoon when the Count came running and shouting into the shanty with a panfull of black sand and iron pyrites, the Prodigal took one look at the shining specks, jumped into the air, knocked both feet together and screamed1 "Married, by God!" although ihe Coionel afterward remarked, in discussing the matter with Jim White, that it sounded more'like a prayer than an oath- Soon account of his paramount interest the final decision as to breaking up was left to him. The Colonel ceased his monologue, and turned to the Prodigal. "Shall we vamose the ranch, old man!*' The Cripple threw up his cards with a disgusted air. Jim White let the shovel slide from his knees. All eyes were turned upon the Prodigal. He glanced uneasily from one to another, blushed, picked up his hat and left the camp. "Gone to talk with Annie," said the Colonel, with a shrug of his shoulders, and all lapsed into a despondent silence. Two houre passed. The Count with a badly affected limp, put over the coffee-pot, with the remark, "That's the last of it." Jim White went to the door and looked out. "Raining yet; some one ought to look up the Prodigal." Another hour passed. The Cripple knocked the ashes from his pipe, too* his hat and started across the cheerless gulch and up the mountain. When the Prodigal left the cabin, his life seemed to have gone out from him. The talk of throwing up the claim on the one hand had benumed him; enfeebled him. On the other, it had awakened him from a dream that had lasted uninterrupted for two years. Never for a moment had he doubted of ultimate success. Not a partial success, out one grand and overwhelming— one that would give him Annie and home. As he ascended the mountains sido, perhaps, for the last time, his thoughts became incoherent, flighty. They went back to Vermont. He knew it was winter there with all its rigor. He knew tho snow lay deep on the rugged hills and narrow valleys of his New England state. He could see tne low, old farmhouse, the ram-shackle barns, the straw st;ick, the crumbling fences, all alike, made beautiful by their mantle of white. He pictured his father, his younger brothers and sisters happy around the glowing arch-lire. A little later he knew ho would he remembered in their evening prayers. Then he thought of Annie; of their childhood days of unalloyed companionship and innocent love. Her sweet girlish tieure; her timid delicate face; her great confiding blue eyes; hor pure generous love, all passed before his half-crazed vision. He pressed his clamy hands to his feverish brow, and a half articulated sentence escaped him: 'My God, am I going crazy!" Gradually ! from the chaotic mass of his thoughts and ; hopes came a full realization of the problem before him. With a loving, almost caressing glance, he gazed about him—on the ragged l seams of the gulch beneath, filled with its wild sonorous music—on the freshly born ; foliage, drooping under its burdens of moist- j ure—on the little cabin far below, Just visible in the last shimering rays of the sun— ' up at snow-crowned serrated folds of the Nevada's, and then he looked above him for the great moss-covered bowlder, under whose shade he had spent so many hours communing with his loved ones. His eye ' sought the familiar spot, but found no bowlder. He looked farther up. It was gone. But where) He took a step. He paused. A gaping chasm was at his feet. He dropped on his knees, regardless of the pools of water that had collected In the fissures of the rocks. Far below he could distinguish a vast mass of debris. He realized what had happened. The bowlder stood but a few rods back, and above the canyon in whose bed they hud been vainly washing for gold. The sapping action of winter's rains and its own great weight had loosened the gravelly slope, causing a landslide, completely obliterating all traces of their feeble efforts In the river below. Unbidd ;a, a groan came to his Ups, and the word "busted." He fell flat upon his body, his head hanging over the precipice. An hour passed. The rain beat down on him unnoticed. It helped to still the heightened beating of his temples. Consciousness slowly returned. His eyes opened. Gleams of light seemed to flash before them. Bright starshaped points claimed their attention. A vein of yellowish dirt ran along the clean surface of the bed rock. He put out his hand and picked up a pebble that shone yellow in the fading light. It was a nugget of virgin gold. With it tightly clasped in his hardened palm hand be fainted. The knowledge that the great end wished for was attained; that after having allowed all his hopes to collapse he had reached the goal of his ambitions, and that all things were now possible was too much for his weakened intellect. Thus the Cripple found him two hours later. The Cripple, whose title was one of those fictitious misnomers indulged in in California at that time, took the poor wasted form on his broad shoulders and bore him to the camp. All thoughts of breaking up were at once forgotten. Willing • hands stripped the clothing from him. The Colonel, in endeavoring to take off the right arm of his shirt, discovered the nugtret. He gave one look and ran shouting and jumping about the cabin: "Gold, boys, gold. Toe Prodigal has struck it. Didn't I alius say he was a lucky cuss* I never gave up for one moment. Didn't I«ay I felt it in my bones all along! Hurrah!" This exhibition of mendacity passed unchallenged. The nugget was certainly gold. The Cripple explained where he had found the Prodigal. A hurried explanation showed that the main bar had been washed out und loosened the great bowlder above the gulch, which in its descent had smashed the rim rock and exposed the glistening gold in the old river bed seventy feet above where they had been tunnelling. The excitement of that night was intense. With visions of untold wealth on one hand, and the Prodigal at death's door on>J,he other, the men spent a night that was remembered to the longest day they lived. Just at daybreak Jim White awoke the Count "with a kick and sent him off to the Snake's Ford for a doctor. The Prodigal remained unconscious. There was not a particle of color in his face, and it took the united efforts of the three to keep him warm. Then be went into a delirious fever; he reared and fought with the desperation of a maniae, By the time the doctor arrived the Colonel dropped on the bed completely exhausted. For two weeks the Prodigal recognized no one. A Chinese nurse was imported. The young physician staid by him night and day. The first day of the sickness Jim White took him one side and said in a voice husky with emotion: "Doc, you stand by us. Bring the lad around and your fortune is made. \\ hy, he can't die. Damn it, man he is rich, and has got to go home and mar-, ry Annie." The Prodigal Mine was a success. New placers wore discovered along the entire length of the gulch. In a few weeks the whole place was transformed. A town sprang up. Miners flocked to the gulch. Claim stakes could be seen at every available point A gambling hail was opened. A half dozen bars were soon in full blast. License ran riot. Law was unknown. Only one restri tion was imposed on the ungovernable spirits of Prodigal. This, the one law on the unwritten statutes of the town, was set forth by Jim White in a speech before the "Little Innocent Saloon." "in conclusion, gentlemen," he said, "let me add, the man after whom this claim is named, and who discovered the placer that has made this town what it is, lies at the point of death in yonder shanty." The speaker's voice trembled. "He may never get well, but while he lives he is troing to have the best these ere diggings can give. Around that shanty I want absolute silence, and the man that don't take off his cap when he passes that ere door, his got to light Jim White." A reusing cheer wound up the speech, and all went to driuk tho health of the Prodigal. The rude chivalry of the town exhausted Itself in its attention on the Prodigal. Hough miners vied with one another in sitting up with him, and the shanty was transformed into a bit of the tropics by the abundance of flowers brought in every morning by even the roughest frequenter of "The Little Innocent." ' Vet skill and nursing had no effect The spark of life had been gradually dimmed by five years of toil, hardships and brooding. He lingered two months. One morning just as the first sounds of life were hoard in the new town, the Prodigal awoke from his long sleep. A look of intelligence came into his big blue eyes, as they rested on tho great manly face of the Cripple. The young doctor placed his ringer on his lips to enjoin silence, but the sick man heeded it not. Ho put out his thin emaciated hand and gra-q>od the strong palm of his wat/her. "O'.d man, I have been sick." The Cripple nodded. "I have not long to live." A sub escaped the lips of the Cripple. "Don't feel so, old man; was tho claim a success V Ho coutinued going back to the day be became unconscious. The Cripple nodded again, and placed his finger on his lips. A smile lit up the sufferer's mouth. "We are riot then; thank God. Cripple give me your hand again. When I die, bury me here on top of Little Mountain where I can look down into the valley of the Sacramento and talk —with—A-n-a-i-e." He paused from sheer exhaustion. The doctor gave him a strengthening oordiaL "Write A-n-n-i e, Cripple, and tell her I died with her name on my lips. Where-are-the-boysf" The Colonel, Jim White, the Count, and a number of the new miners stood by bis side. "Good-by, boys; you have been kind to me. Don't forget the P-r-o-d-i-g-a-l." A smile paused over his face; the first rays of the morning sun shown aslant over the barren tops of Little Mountain, and bathed the face of the dying man in a rich warm color. For an instant, it seemed to bring a new lease of life—then the struggle was over. His gentle spirit had spanned the mountains, desserts and valleys and was back among the green hills of his home—bacic with Annie. A month later a letter was received in a little Vermont hamlet, bearing the postmark of an outlandish California mining town. With trembling lingers is was opened by a gray-haired old man. It ran as follows: PRODIGAL, CAL., April 12, 1863. Mit. JOHN PKAKCE. — DSAK FRIEND:—Your son died April the tenth. We buried him here as he wished. He had the biggest funeral ever'held in this town and was buried by a regular Elder. His last words were: "Tell Annie I died with her name on my lips." Enclosed, find draft on Miners' Bank, of Sacramento, for $40,1)00, to be divided between you and Annie. Teil Annie we all love her, and have named a new mine after her. If there is anything more we can do, we are your humole servants. Yours in sorrow, WM. SPAKKOW, "The Cripple." JIM WHITE, COL.

An Old-Tims DueL In the duel between De Witt Clinton and J o h n Swartwout back of W e e - h a w k e n , in 1802, Clinton hit Swartwout five times, and each time Swartwout demanded another shot. Once he was hit in the arm, then in the leg, then in th^ finger, and finally somewhere else; but while struggling on the ground in great paiu he insisted that he should h a v e another chance, though his antagonist was as yet uninjured. In view of such ridiculous persistency Mr. Clinton finally cast his pistol on the ground and walked off, with t h e remark that he had no patience with a man who did not know when eith er his wounded honor or his wounded body was satisfied. A New Doctor's Story. Few people know it outside of Philadelphia, but the first man sent for when President Garfield was shot was old Sam Gross, one of the most celebrated surgeons e v e r produced. W h i l e the present Sam Gross, his son, is known all over the world as a cancer operator, and people come from England and all over Europe to have operations performed hy him, members of the old school think the old man could handle a knife better than any one. But to return to my story: Somebody wired] immediately for old Dr. Gross to c o m e ' down to Washington. The old man went down and went to the White House and applied for admission, telling who he was and what his mission was. "You can't come that g a m e around here, you old crank." said the doorkeeper, regarding him with brutal suspicion. " W e have lots of y o u fellows coming here, and you better skip, or I'll have you run in."1 Old Gross was a K e n t u c k i a n and his first inclination was to pitch into the insolent doorkeeper. On second thought and choking with l-age he got back in his -carriage, drove to the depot and returned to Philadelphia. People at the W n i t e House wondering at his not c o m i n g made inquiries and found a man ans w e r i n g his description had been there a s above stated. An apology was immediately telegraphed and the old man asked to return. that kind of a man. He wired back that he was not in the h ibit of being treated that way and didn't propose to g i v e any one an opportunity to repeat the insult. Finding ho was determined. About 1000,000 in treasure, which board the Pacific Mail steamer Qremda* when that-easel was wrecked on the Pay rifle coast about a month ago, has beea recovered. The vessel, valued at $&W,000 is m total loss.

Even the Chinese do not seem to grow very excited over such occurrences. A Kentuckian shot himself with suicidal intent, the other day, and died after several hours of intense suffering.

Frank Collum, who robbed John 8U Blaidsdell of Minneapolis, of nearly $300,- 000 by forgeries has made a full confession,' of his guilt, and says he desires that no, mercy be shown him. It has been discover^ ed that Collum also had forced the name* of several other prominent citizens of Minneapolis for amounts ranging from $5,000 to> $20,000. "If I gave you a pound of metal and ordered you to make the most out oZ U, what| kind of metal would you select*" asked a well-knowa jeweller. "Gold, ef course," was the prompt reply.
