The weather during the night did not change any for the better, but the thermometer "went lower and a good strong wind and continual flurries of snow caused nearly everything to be buriedih snow.

Behind her streamed the splendors Of the oaks and elms so grand, Before her gleamed the gardens Of the rich man of the land; Gardens about whose gateways The gloomy ivy awayed, Setting all her heart a-tremble As she struck within their shade. Now the chopper's Ipwly cabin It lay nestled in the wood. And the dwelling of.the rich man By the open hlsh way stood,* With It* pleasant porches facing' All against the morning hills, And each separate window shining Like a bed of daffodil*. Up above the tallest poplars In Its statelioess it rose, ' With Us carved and curious gables, And its marble porticoes; But she did not see the grandeur, And ehe thought her fatherV oaks Were finer than the cedars Ulpt so close along the walks.

Never, daring all the bright, idle summer, had he seen a tear dim the pretty eyes, nor an expression of trouble cross the mobile features- He flattered himself he knew the cause of this sorrow, and he leproftchjgi himself for hi* selfishness la desiring to keep for the last moment the sweet assurance that she waa as dear to him aa he had become to her. He crossed the room and lifted her head, taking the trembling little hands in his own, and looked into her eyes, his own shining with a light she had never seen in human eyes before. "Margie! little pearl," he said abruptly, "do you know I love you and want you for my ownP" Margie caught her breath. Did sudden happiness ever come to you, reader? So sudden that it seemed as though a flash of some magnetic light had glanced throughyourheart, and stilled for a moment your very breath? Leonard saw her start; saw the bright, vivid love-light gleam from the uplifted eyes, and knew this sweet, guilless life was all his own. >4I am going home to-morrow, little pearl," he continued, "but I will come again before the trees have put off their autumn glory, and take my bride to her city home. Will you comeP" •'I think so," Margie said gravely. Then yielding to the intense happiness that filled her heart, she reached both arms UD and drew hi« face down to hers, and kissed both bronzed cheeks. A moment after John Maynard and Vi. stepped softly back from the open door," where they had been involuntary witnesses of the scene.

"It's all over with me, motherr" said. Mrs. Maynard had long (known of John's untold love for Margie Lee; and now her heart ached for the sorrow of ] — woman this, her only son. "Has she said 'no' to you, John?" she asked presently, wondering how any woman could tind it in her heart to "refuse the love of so noble a heart. "I have not asked her," he answered, ,,v>utl saw enough to tell me she is not to be Inine." Se Leonard Bryant bade them all good-bye and went his way to prepare a home for his bride. - . , - Margie was very bu3y after her lover's departure making ready all the garments befitting the adornment of a bride-elect. Kven Clarice was aroused enough to forsake her loved bopks__and_take part in this romance^rfi^real TlfePaTidr-Vi. stitched* illustriously and vowed in her impul8ive"nianner never to be married if she had to have so many tucks and frills and pufls upon her own wedding garments. So the autumn weeks passed rapidly and one golden day lato in October, when nature was looking royally lovely, giving to the earth a short season of regal beauty before doffing her. gold and crimson, Leonard Bryant came to the farmhouse and bore from it the fairest and sweetest of its inmates. The wedding was* very quiet, none but the near neighbors and friends being invited. John Maynard received a business call that took him from home at the {from her even, and the white, listless look from her feature** The years, whatevei they m»y have held of disappointment, had not taken away any of the beauty that marked her girlhood, but had, on the contrary, developed into full perfection the promise of those early years, and at twenty-six Margie Bryant was a beautiful woman. Those four years of intercourse with the world had polished and refined the naturally delicate perceptions, and Margie might never more say she felt "ashamed" of her mental acquirement*. At first, upon coming home, she had remained entirely secluded from all society, not caring to meet any of tbe curious acquaintances who came often to the house, but gradually she overcame this feeling of reticence and mingled more freely with the friends of her girlhood days Among the first whom she visited was Mrs. Maynard. Time had not dealt lightly with the old lady, and she was unable to leave the house. Tbe first time Margie went to see her old friend she walked up the path and in at the open door without knocking. How familiar everything was! The same bright rag-carpet on the floor, the same brass candle-sticks and china shepherdesses upon the high old-fashioned mantel-piece. Margie stood a moment silent, looking' at the old lady as she sat in her high-backed rocking-chair, her eves closed in a light sleep, then crossing the room, she bent and softly kissed the faded cheek of tbe sleeper. Light as was the touch of her lips it awoke the, old lady, who opened her eyes and gazed half-bewildered at the smiling vision before her. Margie knelt down and put her arms around the figure in the chair. "You have not forgotten me, dear Mrs. Maynard*" she said softly, "Forgotten you, little Margie Lee!" said the old Jady earnestly. "I have thought of you every day since you left us. Oh! how lonely we* were after you were gone. But you have cume back to us now?" "Yes I have come back*" said Margie simply. A alight noise at tho door caused her to turn, and J ohn Maynard stood before her.

So Margie went to her new, strange life in the city, and the old homestead saw her no-more-for-many-. many days. And then she came alone, her pale, beautiful face, with its large, starry eyes gleaming amid the sombre draperies ot a widow's garment Margie's married life was as a sealed book to those left behind at the farm. Brief letters carried the informaGoh that she was well and happy, and for two years "the "loving hearts that waited for news dreamed of no shadow existing in the bright sky of Margie's life. The letters grew shorter and less frequent, giving the merest general facts concerning her manner of existence, and then Mr. and Mrs. Bryant had gone abroad, and all intercourse had ceased, owing, the family believed,'to the wandering life of the pair. Dr. Lee had passed from life; leaving a legacy of blessing and loving farewelllor his daughter; and Vi. had married a thriving young farmer, and the young couple lived with Clarice at the homestead. Near the close of the second year of wandering, a letter, deeply edged with black, came to the little circle at the home. Her husbaid had died, after seeking long for some clime to restore health-to his wasting^ frame, and now Margie was conning home, to the dear old farm, never to leave it, she foadiy-hopod, while life should last* And bis way is grand sulstlU, — But the lark can turn the cloud Into A temple when aha will 1 That evening, when the corn fields L Had lost the rainbow lfgnt 'WtulflhlK wing* a-tratfinr And trembling out ofsigflV, Apart frcm her jireat^JossiSsioas And from fll^tir world apart, Knelt th>l*dywlfe and mistress . i richmau's house and heart.

It must be, for she held out two pretty hands and said brightly, in the familiar voice of his little girl-sweetheart: '•Arn't you glad to see me, John? I can hardly think so, though, for you have let two weeks go by since I came home and you have not; shown your face." John took theoutstretcbed hands in his a moment and looked into the perfect face. "I was afraid of intruding,^ he said gravely. "My friends can never intrude upon me," answered Margie, and then she sat down upon a stool at Mrs. Maynard'sfeet, and John, who, poor, simple fellow, -had thought his love dead and buried years' ago, sat upon the doorstep and watched every motion of the graceful figure, and listened to every tone of the well-known voice, and dreamed, as he had dreamed four years ago. So Margie fell into the old habit of going and often down the lane to the old-fashioned house of her friend, and John fell into the habit of coming up to the farair as he had done in those by-gonejdays. He had not been idle all those years, and Margie found a new and strange pleasure in hearing him A collision ooeurred between a freight and .an oil train on the iron and wooden bridge ot the Pennsylvania railroad spanning the Bantan river at New Brunswick, N. J., shortly before 3 o'clock on tho morning of Feb. 7, resulting in the lots of fourhvts the destruction of two locomotives and many cart, the partial wreck of one span of the bridge and the burning of two factories six dweihnga and one hotel in this rity. The daxoaga is placed at oetween ISC 0,000 and 41.000,000. The collision, so far as can be leaned, waa due to the caraleeaneei of the conductor of the forward train. The train oooaUted of freight and oil can, the lettwr being in the rear, and was east-bound. For some unknown reason, the train stopped on the bridge with the tail standing on tha shore spans. No flagmen", it is alleged, were sen back to warn the approaching train* of danger. The remit waa, the locomotive of a Fast east-bound freight train plunged into the rear ot the oil train. The shock waa terrific and caused the explosion of an oil ear. Streams of burning oil speedily overspread the bridge and ran down to the street below, igniting everything oombutile in ita course. Two brakemen of the oil train fell through the bridge to the street with the ear on which they were, and were burned up. The engineer and fireman of the rear train jumped from the cab at the George street Grossing, seeing the collision waa inevitable, an d saved their lives. Tae shock of the explosion aroused the people rrom their slumbers and, attiacted by the bright light of the burning oars, they ran to the bridge and attempted to stay the progieis of the flames. The entire fire depatment also was on hand prompt ly but the gutteri were filled with blazing oil, which could not be turned from its course toward the river, and soon Jane way <fc Son's immense wail paper factory, close to the rive/, caught fire. The chief of the fire department, recognizing the dangerous straits in which he was placed, owing to his BTiall force, telegraphed to Elizabeth and Jertey City for assistance, but before steamers from that place arrived Janeway'a factory burnt d to the ground. John Dougherty, an employe, entered the office qf this building to try and tave the books, but mas overcome by the smoke and perished. The fire extended to the large factory of the New Brunswick oonsolidatid fruit jar company which wasXtoon totally consumed. Next the stream of oil reached the row ot dwelling houses on Washington street opposite the two factories, and they burned, together with the hotel adjoining, it is believed they were partly insured. Among the can burned were two each containing 12 horses. The mystery is that the whole town was not burned. The accident is now said to have been due to the careleaaneis of the telegraph operator on the east bans: of the Bantan, who opeiated the block signals. He cannot be found. talk ot his busy life and his plans for the future and daily the starry eyes grew brighter; and the fresh color grew warmer on the roundest cheek. And thus another year glided by, and John Maynard felt that existence might bold something for him yet in the future. But he told himself to be patient, not to startle by unseemly haste the perfectness of their intercourse, and so be held tight reign over his lips and actions, and waited for the time when his self- - j - . .v. _ W i K .

Margie went a« usual one evening to spend a short time with her old friend.

John stood awaiting her at the and the two passed out and along the familiar path as they had done five years ago. Tney Walked silently along until they reached the point where John had lost that other, opportunity «>f speaking the words that burned on his tongue.

Not Beneficial f a ita SnTeote. The first ease under the law by which a convict may be tried for certain offenses committed while in prison was tried in Jackson recently. One Shannon was arranged on charge of assault with intent to kill one of the keepers.. The jury found Lim guilty simply of assault and battery, and he was remanded to the ears of the prison authorities. Speaking of the ease the Jackson Patioit says:—So far as ita effect on discipline at the prlton la concerned the verdict of thejuiy in the case of the convict Shannon, on the charge of assaulting Keeper Howe with intent to kill, most be exceedingly det rimental. It was in evidence that Shannon had threatened to take Howe's life and the fact that he made' the assault in a ferocious manner with a hammer was additional evidence that murder waa the object he sought to accomplish. The jury, however, rendered a verdict that he was limply guilty of assault and battery. This reached the ears of the convicts in some mysterious way, and when they had been locked up in -their cells yesterday aiternocn-they indulged in a triumphant yell that resounded throughout the institution. The probability u that with this verdict before them as an example of what convicts max expect for committing deadly assaults upon keepers, these occurrence! will be hereafter be more frequent. Only last Friday a keeper ia the wagon blacksmith shop, named Coleman, was brutally assaulted and disabled for two daya by a convict whom he had reported, but no complaint was made in consequence of the pendency ot that suit against Shannon, which was decided yesterday. Of course under the circumstances no complaint will tow be made in the case of Coleman. Under Gov.

Mrs. Lee is doing well, but will be confined to the bed for some time. Th« annual meeting of the Living *sfe NBM i i l . i t Horm That hnt H*lr Master. On a recent afternoon a team stood harnessed to a light wagon in a stabla in Fifty-sixth Street, near Seventh Avenue. The stable is said to hav* cost more money than any other In this country. Its appearance does not belie the statement. The horses were blanketed They stood on the clean, matted floor, with their feet close to- S3ther and their heads hanging in a eepy manner. Three other horses were drowsing in their spacious boxes* An electric bell struck a sharp note. Every horse m the stable pricked his ears and seemed imbued with new life. Two ball-dogs jumped in front of the massive doors that swing on 160-pound hinges. William, better known as Boston, who has charge of the horses* remarked, "Here he Is.11 A side door opened, and a handsome man who has grown gray In New York- — walked noiselessly in the direction of the team. The bull-dogs bounded play? fully by his side. "Take off the blankets," said tfee man. The blankets were pulled off The horses were Edward and a yotrag bay mare. The man stepped to the horses' heads. The mare rubbed her nose slowly up and down her master's face and appeared to kiss hiuofc. The horse rubbed his head against his mae» ter, also seeming to kiss him, and then, when he turned away, snapped with a little show of jealousy at the mare's neck. Hearing the rattle of the harness, the man looked arpond, remarking, "He's full of fun." At the same time he places pieces of sugar in eaoh *- the horses1 mouths. "Mr. Work, I hear that you hare developed some remarkable traits in your horses." "Nothing particularly worth speaking about. I have horses and am kind to them, and they are food of me. 'There's Dick SwiveHer. He had the reputation of being cross when I got him. Now see. Dick!" The horse heard the call and endeavored to get to nis master. "If I should call him when he was hitched to a wagon he would wheel around and turn the wagon over to get to me. AIM" have to do when: out with Dick and anybody tries to pass us is to let the lines, rest lightly on his back, and away he "goes in the lead. I never urge my horses. That mare, Regina, hitched with Edward, is very fast. She is a five-year-old. I shall hold her back until she is six, and then I will let her show what she can do." "I heard that you had a mare that always joined in the circle around the fire and inhaled tobacco smoke ever your shoulder." "That was old Kate. Whenever she heard us talking she would pound away in her box, and kick something toose if she was not released. When *t liberty she would walk up and poke her bead in the circle and listen quiet ly to the conversation." "Do you believe that she understood anything that was said?" "She appeared to. I think that horses understand more than most people give them credit for. Now, there is a horse in that box yonder that is very fond of the smoke fromjLcigar, if you were to light one and go in his box he would ulace his head over years and take in all the smoke he possibly could. If you were to leave the box he would follow you as luug as he could get a whiff of smoke." "The horses ape restless and want te jret out. William will show you the stable and give any desired information." The huge thousand-dollar doors opened silently and the horses started for the road. "I have lived with many men who owned horses," said William, "but there goes the only real horse lover 1 ever saw. They follow him all over the place like children. He is kind to all animals. One day he saw these bulldogs bounding over the tan bark in the walking ring on the other side of tht ftable. *Do they like to play in there?* •Yes/ I replied.

OKEGON has had a phenomenal experience this winter in the matter of snow. In Wasco county the last twenty days of the old year were marked by an almost continuous snow storm which made a total of 106 inches, which when it had settled down still gave the enormous depth of 60 inches. Railroad and even mail communication was completely blookaded, the only means of transportation being by carriers on snowshoes. The people in the town whiled away the tedious blockade with social intercourse, but the advent of trains and mail matter was hailed with joy. T H H E B new telephones invented by Webster Gillette of Ypstlanti, Mich., in position at New York, Meadville, Pa., and Chicago, have been thoroughly tested. Singing, whistling and talking in New York could be heard J through the instrument in Chicago. In the Bell telephone there is but one point of contact, while in this there can be used from two to twenty wires, each with a direct baUery of two cells and separate induction coil, acting on a single diaphragm. The sound from the wires concentrates on the coil, where it is condensed and transmitted as one sound. DR. GRAHAM of Louisville, Ky., has just died at the age of 100. He was one of the pioneers of the. state that knew Daniel -Bt»one* He has always been well and strong He never lost a tooth and had only one filled. He did not use tobacco in any form. Within two or three years he was not afraid to try his skill, with any one at shooting the rifle. At ninety-four he was able to repeat three pages of Pope's translation of Homer's Iliad .which he had not seen for thirty years. During the war of 1812 he was present at the attack upon the fort on Mackinac island, was captured on the lake by the British, and, subsequently, went to Maiden, just below Detroit on the Canada side, where he was captured by the Indians while gathering fruit in the hazel brush. During the night he rubbed bis bark fetters loose and gotjaway. Several years later, being again at Maiden in search : of his fugitive slaves, he was nabbed, but escaped through the intervention of General Ironsides*, a hali-brother of Tecumseh. Dr. Graham owned a band of superior Negro musicians and after the election of Harrison he took them to Cincinnati to welcome Harrison to Kentucky. At Cincinnati, the musicians found their way to Canada. Their owners pursued them but failed to recover them. ROSSI'S TUfiN. The Boss Dynamiter Shot by an English Woman. * The Wound not Dausaeroue, to tho Be» gret of the Woman, O'Donovan Ross*, the "Irish Dynamiter/ was shot on Chambers St., New York, on the attsrnoon of the 24. task, by a woman who Sve her name ai Yienlt Dudley. The first ot took effect in O'Donovan1! body and he mil to the sidewalk. The woman continued to shoot until the hid emptied her five;, chambered revolver. Only the first shot took effect. City Manual James McAnley was present at the time, and breaking t trough the crowd that had collected eren Before the •hooting was over, Mixed the women, who •till held the imokiog pistol in her hand, and told her she was under arrest. The woman offered no remonstrance, hat allowed herself te be taken through the maw of citisena and to the city hall station home. After the woman had been taken away Rosea attempted to rise and go to his efioe, bu; he wai unable to walk and was taken to the hospital instead. He walked all the/way there, a distanee of nearly a quarter of a mile. He bled considerably on the way. Onoe in the hoipltal he was uadresaod and examined by Dr. Dennison. It waafeturd the bullet had entered the hack, flirecty below the left shoulder blade. Xhe d6otor*ro> nounoed the wound not ol a dangerous enaraeter, and began to probe for toe ball. A great mowd of people had followed the wounded man down Chambers street, and b oeted the roadway in front of the hospital after the door was locked behind O'Donovan and his escort. The woman was cool and collected In her statements. She expressed great regret that one of the five shots had not killed Rosea, and wished that she could have tired five more at him. ~r .,.„ Rosea says:—It was a premeditated affair, and this woman was simply the engine by which the oastardly woik waa^cooffiplished. She had no private revenge* to gratify. No relative ot hers had been injured in the English explosions, it ia the work of the English government, whose policy has always been to assassinate men they could not otherwise reacb. She is the agent ot the British minister or somebody else, This woman oame to me and laid ace was Irish, bat that her husband did not sympathize with the cause of Ireland. Sue is rabid in her views on dynamite. She said the London explosions were no good, and wanted a horrible sacrifice of lite to strike terror to the hearts of Iregaaised milkhv strrieeU 7,811; the n missioned officers, privates, etc., number 88,979; the total numbar-^pt unorganized militia men, (or menjuatlabi* for^tnilitary duty) Is 6.680,606. NeW YorkTOks first in number of organised men with 11,686 men; Pennsylvania «econd with 8,880; Florida third, with7,283 and Ohio fourth, with 6,848. In Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Oregon there is no organized militia service. QUEEN VICTORIA*! Oi"FKR. The Queen hat expressed * desire to contribute from her private puree a sum sufficient to- supplant and make effective any reward which the government may decide to offer for the arrest and eonviotkui of criminals guilty of the recent dynamite outrages. The announcement of this wish on the part of .Her Majesty ;has so stimulated popular reeling that it is believed the immediate result will be the orglniaation ol a national fund for the object suggested b j the Qoeen BAD FOKCUMVIXOSAII. Cunningham, the dynamite suspect, now confined in OlerkenweU prison, was unexpectedly brought into the examination room of the jail tne other morning and confronted by I a number of persons, some of whom at once identified him as the man seen by them acting in a suspicious manner in the neighborhood of the underground railway explosions. Among those who confronted him were a policeman and brakemaa connected with the underground railway. They positively identified him having traveled on the train from the ear window ot which the dynamite package was thrown on Jan. 2 last, between the stations at Oower street and : Kings' Cross, which partially wrecked several of the railway carriages and destroyed a part ot the wall of the tunnel. Several- '»aooorapHets" have been arrested. BUBSTING THJB 8QXE8. The appropriation of $100,000 made in 1883 for vaults, storage and, transportation ol silver dollars is now exhausted.

She reiterated that thousands ol Uvea should be sacrificed in London. I had been to see my printer at 4 o'clock, when I started out to meet her. 8he wanted me to sign a receipt tor money. The receipt contained the word 'dynamite' and I declined to siga it. I put the paper in my pocket and walked out with her. She is nothing more or less than an agent of the Britisn ^uvtsmment employed to assassinate me. ' m>—, „ GH,NGHaL NEWS*.

Gordon was deferred until A u g u s t 5, Even then, if the expedition had been sanctioned forthwith, a precious day would have been gained; but it was not sanctioned until August 12, when the government finally resolved it must relieve Gen Gordon. That period of hesitation sacrificed Khartoum. Islam is now victorious. The revolt and fail of Khartoum will permeate the arch of the world, and unless the ministrv display boldness and wariness equal to their former dilatoriness, a catastrophe worse than that of Khartoum will followrffe**three are given."— England dare not fly before the Eastern foe.

DYNAMITERS IN NEW YORK. •> An attempt was made early Sunday morning Feb. 1, to blow up the dry goods establishments of Garry Bros, and Bidley & Co., on Grand and Allen streets in Mew York: city, Dynamite was used, and the force el the explosion was felt a long distance away. The walls were badly wrecked and glass in the buildings several blocks away was broken. Several slight injuries were received by persons in the immediate vicinity, but no serious injury was received by any one. The damage to the buildings • estimated atabout $2,000. Four suspicious characters have been arrested and lodged in jsU. It Is believed that the explosion was planned, if not perpetrated by disohaiged employes ot one of the dry-goods firms named.

A Cincinnati Times-Star special from Petersburg W. Vs., says: Sunday, Feb. 1st., Elijah Wease, aged seventy-five,was arrested for the murder of Hiram Ault, in October, 1861. Wejwe was arrested at the time and confined ia jail at Moorefield. He was then removed to Harrisonville, hut was released by the Union soldiers. There were only two witnesses to the murder, George Reed and Acne Gun. Reed was killed iu the war. Anne Gun dlsap* peered. Wease went to. Virginia and stayed till two years ago and men came back. Recently a sister of the murdered man visited In the West. She there met Anna Gun and was told the ttory of her brother's murder. Sue came back and had Wease ar- Tftitod. Thf fact *>* >*<• ft>rrn»r tLrrmt mAm^ Jroven and he was bound over to the Grand ury. Later in the day the astounding discovery was made that Wease was captain of a band ot desperadoes, who committed rob*' bery and murder. Twelve murders are charged to the old man. He has confeteed among otbers that of his own sou. The method was to take the victim to a place ealled\the "Leap" and throw then over. Attn* place design a ted remains ot five men were fcuneVat one time. 2)b*y ware discovered by d6?s bringing the Ug aid arm of a man home. The murderer was not suspected then. Tne men killed, with two exceptions, were killed because they Union men. He also confessed bi 0 many houses. The whole country issroused. Owing to the lack ot telegraph facilities names and full details are difficult to get at. The Wheeling Register publish** nearly a two-column article and says "Wease killed a dozen men. The names or LYNCH LAW NEEDED. A Louisville Courier-Jourier special tells of the doings oi a band ot Ku-Klux or regalators in Grayson Oo.,Ky. whioh or late have been going the rounds at night whipping and otherwise outraging persons who fell under their bah. About 70 ot them surrounded the house ot a family named -Forbes, but the-For bee brothers Area upon them and succeeded in running them away, killing James ShJley, one of the regulators. It la said that the regulators have whipped helpless women, and have by threats ran parties ont of the oountry,. and not long since whipped an old man named Tom Green nearly to death beoauie he didn't go with his family. Bud Graham was also whipped so that it is thought he will not recover. _, STATE MILITIAS. The seoretary of war has transmitted to congress a statement showing the number of militia men organises and unorganized in different stater of the, Union. The total nurabfr^of commissioned officers in the orot diver, and not burglar-proof, be used. The total com ago o; standard silver dollars for the ensuing twelve months it exptcted to be not less than $27,000,000. In order to avail itself of the siorage-roem mentioned above the department must transport the coins (regardless, it may be remarked, ot any question or convenience connected with their possible ultimate use as money) from the several assistant treasurers' offices, and from the mints where coined, to Washington, thence to be reahipped to other places, should they be required lor circulating purposes in the future. The adoption of this course doubles the cost ot transportation. To take oare ot this mass of silver Secretary McCulloch recommends the appropriation of $500,000. A PENSION DECISION. Assistant Secretary Joslya, of the interior department, has rendered a decision in the case of the application for pension of Martha Lawscc, a minor child of a deceased private soldier. The question presented was whether the soldier at the date of his death was in the line of-dniy, and the decision broadens sensibly the construction heretofore placed on the pension laws. Mr. Jpilyn says: In this case it appears that the soldier was granted permission by his superior officer to go to his home for the purpose of seeing his wife, who was veiy ill. Alter his arrival at his home his wife died and immediately after her death and before her burial the soldier started back to bis company, and while on his way back was captured by the enemy and taken to Andersonville prison,where he died, September 13,1804. His absence from his regiment was, authorised: he attempted to return and was prevented by an act of the enemy from doing so. After the expiration of his furlough, which must be considered to have expired at the tine when i e would have arrived at his company, if he had not been captured, which was within a few days. Certainly, after he had been entered upon the government records as a deserter, he was no longer on a furlough, but was either a deserter or in the line oi duty. The evidence shows that he was not a deserter, and therefore he was in the line of duty. The soldier's disease, whlch|resulted in his death, having betn received while in captivity, and after the expiration of his furlough, and while it was beyond his power te return ;to hie regiment by reason of such captivity, his disease and death shoufdrbe treated as incurred in the line of duty. were instantly killed and terribly mangled. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vogle ot Oak Harbor, were fatally injured. Mi* A. IL Tasrwtoter was so seriously hurt that there are no hopes of he? recovery. The horses wen HllaeUa stantly and the sleigh totally demolished. The injured were conveyed to Oak Harbor with .their dead companions. The driver of the team, and, in fact the whole party, either failed to hear ^he rumble and warning whistle of the train, or did not see it, for the home mounted the track Just at the moment the train wae dashing by. No blame is attached to tne railroad company. ~ DEFIANT REBELS. Gen. Wolteley telegraphs from, Sorti to the War Office on the 6th that a courier has ar* rived from the British camp near Metemneh, who report* that the rebels at Metemneh have become defiant siaoe hearing of the fall ot Khartoum, Tbe courier also says an attack ou Gabat- may be looked for at any moment, as the rebels expect reinforcements from Khartoum. Lord Wobeley states that he will remain quiet pending further orders from the government. At a Cabinet meeting oa the morning of the 6th, to consider what oqurse should be taken In regard te the present Egyptian tmergenoy, it was de cided to send telegraphic orders to India for the dispatch of Indian troops to Suakim and meanwhile reinforce the garrison at Soakim by drafts of troops from England and the Mediterranean. The consensus of opinion in the ministry is in favor of a strong, active and vigorous policy. The ministry sanction any demand of Lord Wolieley whioh will aid in the defeat of the mahdi an4 will secure the release of Gen. Gordon, if elite, or \ wreak vengeance upon the Arabs, if slain. Gen. Wolseiny says the necessary operations will be dim cult aad hazardous, and that it will require five weeks to reach Khartoum,- T h e F i r s t P r e s i d e n t ' s J o u r n e y t o N e w York- Troy Times. If the election of Washiugton were uuique, his arrival was no less so. He was the first President and probably will be the last, to reach the seat of Government in an open boat. Going: back to his election, it may be mentioned that Congress sent one of its Members to .notify him, and, as it was a fourdays' journey, tho messenger reached Mount Vernon by the 11th. Washington was soon ready, and made the journey on horseback attended by his suite, which included Tobias Lear, his faithful secretary. He was welcomed here witiLtJ^ahigb.eath.onorstand his route lay through Trenton, which was tho scene of his first victory. On reaching New Brunswick ho found a barge of state. awaiting him, each of-its rowers being the captain of a ship. Ia addition to the crew was the committee .of reception, which included the magnates of the Nation, and on this barge the first President was conveyed to New York oity. It was a rather slow voyage of fifteen miles down to the mouth of the Raritan, and then from the Staten Island channel (better known .as the Kill von Kull) was^a heavy pull of eight miles, but, slow as it might be, it was better than land carriage, and six hours after leaving New Brunswick the first President landed at the foot of Wall Street The same distance is now made by rail in less than an hour. He reached New York City just sevonteen days after his election, and his inauguration took place just a week after his arrival. He was the only President elected and inaugurated in New York city, and the city has responded to the honor by erecting a statue to the Fatherrot his Country on the very spot where he took the oath of office.

There are many oases in whioh at tic3t a skilled physician oan not say ~ poatively whether it is contagious diphtheria or a simple non-specific inflammation with which he has to deal, and this uncertainty may continue for a considerable time; If Ds. Jacob!'* views are correct, and he Is certainly very high authority on this subject* diphtheria may exist, especially in the adult, in a chronic form, not greatly disturbing the health, or at all events not preventing the person so affected from going about and performing his or her usual duties, and yet making tbe secretions from suoh person capable of conveying the disease. The precautions to be. taken in the management of a well-marked oaaMf diphtheria are, or should be, generukV known; they have been published ai 4 0 1 oalars by many health b o a r d s tfcl through the, secular and medical press, and may be summed up at fottows: tsr> i late the patient in an airy room having v 'the least possible amount of furniture, especially that which is,upholstered, and having no carpet or curtains! Disinfect all excretions and secretions, and especially those from the throat, nose, and mouth, and all articles soiled by them, promptly, while they art TwV moist,' and thoroughly. Use nlasW soft rags for receiving "the disehargtr from the nose and mouth, and tarsi them as fast ai soiled. If other articles are soiled, use solutions of chloride of zinc or bichloride of mercury, under the instructions ot the physician. Be especially careful as regards toys, pencils or other articles which may be given & child for i$s amusement, of the article? used in^iving it food or drink, and of the remnants of euch food or drink< Everything that has been touched" by the patient's lips is dangerous. When convalesence has set in do not yield too soon to the importunities of the patient to be allowed to bee his friends or to go out, nor to your own feelings of weariness at the lons'-contin? uod confinement. Above all things do not, under the excuse of giving change of air and scene, send him off to some. other place-to complete his recovwyjr you might send dynamite about the country with scarcely more risk.. Do not send the child back to school in less than six weeks after the attack, about two weeks after vou are satisfied that ho is entirely well is a very good rule. If the little life is not strong enough to withstand the attack, and is cut short, do not in your grief forget the danger to other lives which the house and contents may yet cause. Do not allow sympathizing friends and playmates to enter; do not have any funeral •* ceremonies in.the house; treat the sick rcom and its contents as being dangerously infected. In mild and doubtful cases follow the plan above indicated as nearly as you can, and be sure that all your care and patience will bo needed if you wish to obtain security for other "members of the family and for friends. ,» A W a s h i n g t o n in a P o o r - H o u s e The Adairsville correspondent of the Franklin Favorite says: "Robert Washington, a relative of the first president, was accidentally killed by a train on the Memphis branch of the L. & N. railroad some time in the mouth of Feb • ruary, 1883. His administrator sued the corporation for damages, and the . matter was compromised last week in the Logan circuit court by the company agreeing to pay $1,000 damages. Mr, Washington was old, decrepit, deaf and almost blind, and at the time of the accident was tresspassing on the company's property, and as he was an inmate of the county poor house it is reasonable to suppose he left no estate on which to administer other than the prospective assets arising from a daai age suit.

W i d e s p r e a d C o m m o t i o n C a u s e d b y t h a t Remarkable S t a t e - m e n t of a Pnyeioi a n The story published in these columns "* recently, from the Rochester, K. x., Democrat, treated a deal of ooniment here as It has elsewhere. Apparently it caused even more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well-known not only in Rochester but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper a few days ago, which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It A L would be impossible- to enumerate the \cast* in great abundance.1' personal enquiries whioh hare been made at our offioe as to the validity of aha article, but they have been so fcuthat further investigation of the t was deemed an editorial necessince learned that one of the physi oians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman *on fine street one day, saylog: . •T/ssere goes a man who will be dead within a year.1 I believe bis words would have proved true if X had not providentially used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Quae. Dr. S. A. Lattimore, although busily engaged upon some matters connected with State Board of Hetfth, of which he is one of the analysts, courteously answered the questions that were propounded him:( , . .•.'.,. ; "Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H, H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor?" "Yes, s i r . , r , , ' 'What d!i<I this analysis snow you?" "The presence ot albumen and tube And what did the symptoms indicate.' 1 "A serious disease of the kidneys." "Did you think Mr. Warner, could recover?" "No, sir. I did not think it possible." "Do you know anything about the remedy which cured aim?'* "Yes. I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure and harmless." We publish the foregoing statements in view of the commotion which the publicity of Dr. Henion's article has caused and to meet the protestations which have been made. The doctor was cured four years ago and is well and attending to his professional duties1 today. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question and the statements they make, cannot for a moment be doubted. Dr. Henion's experience shows that Blight's disease of the kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is ceedingly common and that it can cured. 1th this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion at his residence on Andrews street, y when the following interview ocourred: "That arJcle of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued, suoh as you can sustain?" "Every one of them and many additional ones. I was brought so low by Mgseeung the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. U ^ true I had frequent headaches; fak'tired most of the time; could eat nothing oho day and was ravenous the next; felt dull pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious. The medical profession have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of kidney disease more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to help the lungs. We should not waste our time trying to relieve the headache, pains about the body or other symptoms but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments." . "This, then, is what you meant when Trqo s a i d t h a t more than omrfcalfthe deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it Doctor? " Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-day. which in reality are BrightB disease in some of its many forms. It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by —paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which I see now were caused by Bright's disease." "And not all these cases have simple symptoms at first?" "Every one of them might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy. 1 am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter, and think I am helping others t o . see the facts and their possible danger also." Mr. Warper was visited at his establishment on North„St. Paul street. At first he was inclined to be reticeutrbutr learning that the information desired was about Bright's disease, his manner changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly. "It Is true that Bright's disease had increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from '70 to '80 its growth was over 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven, Folger, -Coifax and others. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, the increase aas been checked and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy." "Do you think many people are afc. dieted with it to-day who do not realize Tt/Mr. Warner?" "A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing —before his claaa on the subject of Bright's disease. He had various fluids-under ^^STCCRS FOR SORB THROAT AJTD COUGHS, microscopic analysis, and was showing- >*S roion't ErmcMal Trocha" have been thar • ~ w " r <l * , . . . . . " 3 T -.

'And now, rfcleman,' he said, 4as w e have seen mahealthy indications 1 will show C a how it appears in a state of perfect alth,' and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed— his color and command both left him and in a trembling voice he said: 'Gentleman, 1 have made a painful discovery; I have Bright's disease of the kidneys.1 And in less than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to tiny one." "You know of Dr. Henion's case?" **Yea, I have both read and heard of "She tried her prentice hand on man, And then she formed the lassies, O!" "What is woman V w o r t h ? " asked a fair damsel of a crusty old bachelor. He did not know, so she said: W. 0 . man (double you 0 man).

T h e t i n g e of the waters from the dark green of summer, is changed to a muddy yellow; huge icicles, formed by an accumulation of frozen spray, hang perpendicularly from the rocks; the trees on Goat Island and Prospect Park seem partially buried; a mass of quaint and curious crystalline forms stand in lieu of the bushes; the buildings seem to sink under ponderous coverings of snow and ice; the tops of trees and points of rock on which the dazsling white frost work doep not lie, stand out in bold contrast, forming the deep shadows of the en-' trancing picture; the whole presents a wild, savage aspect, grand and imposing.

At masquerades in Bttssia the ladle* often venture to give their tongues ©ore freedom than is anywhere else allowed in that despotic country. Presuming to be protected by the disguise of their dominoes, some have even found out the Emperor himself on the dancing floor, and pretending not „ to know him, talked of the affairs of the (joverument and ixmdomned the abases which the public feel more than they dare to complain. Experience shows that this liberty is very hazardous, and the arm of Russian power has a grim way of terrifying tne detected critic whom it does not choose to destroy. A nobI« lady of St. Petersburg had been imprudent enough to converse with a foreigner on the institutions of tier country, and comment severely on tome of the most galling evils of its govern riient. Retiring from the ball where she had committed this indiscretion, instead of •being driven 4^m^, she found herself / «et down at the door of tne Bureau.of Secret Police. Being ushered into the official presence, she was summarily informed that she was condemned to exile in Siberia, and that she would be taken there without delay. Without being allowed an interview with a single friend, or even an opportunity Of exchanging her gay costume for a more suitable traveling dress, she was hurried into another vehicle and driven off to her destination in the Inaospitable wilds of Russia's penal settlements. The carriage in which she was now placed was kept entirely closed, and the officer who accompanied her, while he prevented communication with any one without, resolutely declined all conversation with her. The only alleviation to the monotony and protracted suffering of hurrying along in a close carriagej abandoned to her own melan cboly thoughts, was the stopping at cer> tain stages, where the horses and guard were changed, and where she was allowed to light a few minutes (after being blindfolded) and enter a rude wooden building, or post-house In one oi these, at the end of the first day's journey, she was allowed a few hours1 repose on a rough truckle-bed. . In the same way the unhappy lad^ was hurried on, during a second and third day, with an ever-widening distance, as she fcelwyed, from friends and hope and all that made life supportable It struck her, , however, as shnee grew more calm, that there was a remarka* • ble siini]arit£ between the various poet- "Bouses at"winch they stopped, and blindfolded as she was, she contrrVed to secrete a ribbon torn from h e r d r e s s i n • crovice of the wood during1 one of these" stoppages. Hope revived in her breast on discovering, at the. next stoppage, that they had come back to the same post-bouse; and pursuing her oboe tions, sha at length satisfied herselffhat she was being driven all tha-'time between two stations. She kept the discovery to herself, and at the end of tbethird day, on the bandage 1 oing^renmved from her eyes, sh« found-nerself onoe more in the Bureau the chief officer of the secret police, having in reality spent the previous three days in driving back and forth on the great pc;sUroad within a few miles of St, Petersburg. She was now dismissed with a warning not to give her tongue the same dangerous license again, or *he would very likely realize the frightful exile to which, for a time, she had supposed herself to be doomed. —JSiortin fiom liu&xia. m m — A Cold Day for Snakes. Facts Relating: to the Draft Horses of France. While some people in America call all horses importea from France Normans, it is a fact that there is no breedin France called by that name by the French people; the name Norman, therefore, is purely American. The principal breeds ot France are known as Percherons and Boullanais. The Percherons are the most highly prized ot all French races, and all departments of France go to the Perche for stallions to improve their local breeds. The Percheron Stud Book of France is published under the authority of French Government, and admits only animals of pure Percheron origin and birth, established1 by their pedigrees and the pedigree of their ancestofs-f&r generations. The fact that no recorded pedigreee can be furnished with any of the more common breeds ot France, explains the eagerness of many importers ra. rnsisting that aB irorses imported from France are alike, and that pedigrees are useless. It is a well known fact that what a man gives for a horse over from $500 to |800—the price of a good grade— is paid for purity of blood; ar.d where the sellers are not able to give the recorded pedigree of the animal sold as evidence of additional value, he has-no right to ask it. With these facts before him, no intelligent man will buy a horse imported from France unless he is recorded with his pedigree in full in the stud book in France, and the importer furnishes with his bill of sale. the French certificate of registration, as this is the only guarantee of safety, a large number ot horses of unknown blood being imported to this country and sold as pure bred.

Coming to a sheltered place he prepared tc camp for the night. In searching for wood he found buried under a pile of leaves a lot of slicks, or what appeared to be long pegs8harpent»d at one end.

Request the Probate Judge to send your legal printing to the DISPATCH for publication if those it should interest are located in this vicinity.

We think it only right and proper to have a Vie as t two tickets m-'the field, and by all who are voters turning out to the caucuses and nominating good men we will be sure to have good officers—whichever ticket wins. But this is certain, that one ticket never gave satisfactioir~to all. The Evening Journal tells of a man in Antrim county telling a tree "from wjlich he got four cords of four foot 'wuod, thiee~^ovaV~oT" block wood, be sides the brush."

The Detroit Times had the "blues" Saturday—but, however, it was not' the kind usually experienced by country publishers. It was printed in blue ink and rendered in rhyme throughout in honor of St. Valentin's day. This is a great teat in journalism and shows the striking characteristics of the • proprietor. Breezed originality SET Xl.T P u .„ an and vim-is what makes liirpapei:- ^ i^hL^.^?*1^?!*; ways walk over its contemporaries. The Pinckney Dispatch argues well We are informed that a couple ot" young ladies from near tins place went to Superior a few weeks since for the purpose ot "catching on" to two young fellows there—but at last accounts their efforts were in vain." Poor girls! The Howell colored concert troupe drew out a large crowd at the rink last night and for all we know gave a good entertainment. One thing we do know, however, that for "cheek^-they-are not lacking. They had the audacity to request notices and program in our paper and after about one-half columri had been devoted to them we never even received "thank you." Mr. Ira W. Abbott this week delivered his first invoice of the books for which he is agent, "The Golden Gems of Life," and we can truly say they are all they were represented to be, and we would suggest that it would be much better for parents—if they— would purchase more books of this sort for the benefit of their children than to allow them to waste both time and brains in devouring the filthy yellow-covered literature that many of our youth now do. If you have any monev to spend, spend it at home. A great many people. are very anxious... to have a man expend hi-r money in building rnanu-" factoring establishments and thus im- -prave: and_lielp_tlie growth of the town; but when that is done they turn their back on home establish* ments and too often buy elsewhere because they can possible buy a little cheaper oi they dont like the man. This is a good way-to kill a town and drive out first class enterprise. Don't trv it. —Ex. Those who failed to attend the Congregational choir concert on Monday evening missed a very rare entertain* ment, and considering the/weather & good crowd was in attendance. The applause of the audience showed their appreciation of the rendition of the diffrent parts. The band quratette by Messrs. Mann, LaRue, Wagner and Sykes met with such approval that the 'crowd would not be appeased until thev rendered another air. The piano and cornet solo by Mrs. A. T. Mann and C. P. Sykes also gave such4 uhiversat~safisfactiQn that they were recalled. Chas. L. Collier's oomic soloi,- "Cncle John",and "Sourkrout," made' the house ring with laughter. At 2 o'clock P. M. yesterday at the' residence of the bride's parents, Mrv and Mrs. A. N. Mcintosh, Fowlerville,- the marriage ceremonies wereconsumated between Mr. Frank E.

The fin originated in a wing of the old building ot the insane department of Bleckley, which ironts toward* the Schuylkill river and directly east of the main building of the almshouse. This wing is 145 feet front and 60 deep, connected on the south aide with the main bailding of the old structures ef the insans department, which runs south 400 feet to a similar «iag to the one in which the disaster occurred. In this north building, when the fin brake out, there wen sixty separate oeil* for violent patient*, twenty on each floor. In addiion to this then wa* a large room on each of the three loon, in whioh cot* for twelve men were placed, all ot whioh wen occupied when the fire broke out. On the stoond fluor opposite the central col of a row of separate cells on the north side of the corridor, whioh runs east to west, was a dry room heated by steam. This room, which was about ten feet square, was directly alongside the middle stairway leadmg to the fljore above and below. Here the flumes originated, but from what cause is not now known. At this time then wen insane persons in each ot the twenty oelle on ttuse thiee floors, ten in the large room on the first floor and twelve in eaoh of the large rooms on the second and third noon. From all accounts to be obtained, it appean prttty certain that the first alarm was given by an insane patient on toe first floor of the main building. This man, Joseph Nadine, occupied a room adjoining the stairway and drying room, with about twenty other quiet patients. The cry of fin was heard by Joseph Shroeder, an attendant, who gave thajsjtarm, aud together with the other attendants worked heroically to rescue tne unfortunate inmates. Tne horror ol the scene is thus described by Sohroeder: "I do not known who sounded the alarm. as I heard Nadine cry 1 rushed to the foot of { the stairway, and after a short attempt to check the fire at once set to work to get ont the patients. First I unlocked the door ot the room in which Nadine and his companions wen. They ran out at once. Sy this time the flames wen gathering in fury and dense volumes of smoke ascending into ihe upper stories. I snooteded in unloosing the doors of all cells on the first floor, and although with" difficulty in some caies, sno- -j-oeeded m-getttng the inmate* OnS Fhad no look a>ter tbem further than run them into the yard, for the flames were getting so fierce it was almost impossible to breath in the now fiercely burning building. The smoke in the upper stones was so thick that breathing was impossible. "Wnile I was getting the men out below, Attendant Wiliiam~Strain was doing the same for inmates on the second floor. I met H*i*nah, the night watchman, wno was also helping, and we went up to the third story, but were driven back by the flames, which bad forced their way through the stairway and were creeping a lo o« to the cells of the doomed inmates. We ran around to the other stairway, near the new buildings on the west, and by that time some firemen arrived. All the inmates had been gotten out of the second story, so there remained about twtnty-eight on the third ioor, twenty in cells and eight in a large common room in the west end. ~ The unfortunate occupants of the cells wen being smothered to death by smoke and perhaps blistered and burned by flames. Their eries wen heartrending. Some ef them cuiseTand swore others laughed hideously, and othen ytlled with' pain, with such awful cries as would have appalled the hardtai heart. The firemen, myself aad a patient named Kafferty onwled on our hands aud knees to such of the men as we could reach and dragged out louruen. eight of them alive, tour suffocated to death, and two so horribly burned they died beiore we oould get them ont of the building. We could not see any of the men in the oells, ef course, but oould hear their horrible cries above the roaring of the flames as they osme to realize the horrible fate that was in ston for them. The 330 inmates who escaped wen as far as possible furnished with secure apartmmts in the almshouse proper* The rumor prevailed at the almshouse grounds late at night that some forty ot the most violent patient* confined in the upper floor had perished. These tumors could not bs traced to any authentic source, and it is belief ei by attendant* questioned in ntennoe to it that the patients in the upper floor wen all rescued. Then wen four of the inmates of cell* - in ward M. who wen rescued by the police, but one-of them was so badly burned about the feet he died soon after Doing brought out. EXCITEMENT UNABATED.

Yesterday unil VQ« dav Before we copied into our Columns from the Rochester, M. ?., Democrat and ChronicU, a remarkable statement, made by J. B. Henion, M. D., a gentleman who is well known in this city. In that article Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful experience which befell him, and the next day we published from the same paper a second article, giving an account of the '*Exeitement in Rochester," caused by Dr. Henion's statement It is doubtful if any two articles were ever published whioh caused greater commotion both among professional people and laymen. Since the publication of these two articles, having been besieged with letters of inquiry, we sent a communication lo Dr. Henion and also one to 11. H. Warner & Co., asking if any additional proof oould be given to us as to the validity of the statements published. Ia answer thereto we have received the following letters, which add interest to the subject and verify every statement hitherto made: ROCHESTER, N. Y. GENTLEMEN ; Your favor is reoeived. The published statement, over my signature is true in every respect, and I owe my life and present health wholly to the power of Warner's Safe Cure, which snatched me from the very brink of the grave. It is not surprising that people should question the statement I made, for my recovery was as great a marvel to mybelf, as to my physicians ivnd friends. * * * J. B. HENION, M. D. ROCHESTER, N.

SIRS: Acknowledging your favor As soon {duly received, we would say: The toast *" ' proof we can give jou that the statements made by Dr. Henion are entirely true, and would not ha?e been published unless strictly so, is the following testimonial from.the best citizens of Rochester, and a card published by Rev.

Lost—Two fat heifers, Mr. J. J. Knight and Mr. C, Spurgeon." Another read: "Pigs fattened in six weeks on the Englishman, edited by Dr. Kenealy, price 2d weekly, and kills fleas, beetles, insects, and all kinds of vermin, Perry Davis' pain-killer cures smoky chimneys and notice to mothers, feed your infants on Bond's marking ink, 6d per bottle." l Chronicle of December 81, there appeared a statement in Iho form of a card from Dr. J.

There was published in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle of the Slst of December, a statement made by J. B. Heni'on, M. D., narrating how he had been cured of Btighfs disease of the kidneys, almost in its last stages, by the use of Warner's Safe Cure. I was referred to in that statement, as having recommended and urged Dr. Henion to try the remedy, which he did and was cared. The statement of Dr. Henion is true, so far as it concerns myself, and I believe it to be true in all other respects. He was a parishioner of mine and I visited him in his sickness. I urged him to take the medicine and would do the same again to any one who was troubled with a disease of the kidneys and liver. | ISSBAL FOOTS. (D.

HY KATE DOUGLASS SMITH. (THAPTER I. It had been a long, wearisome day at the charity Kindergarten, and the teacher was alone in the silent, deserted room. Gone were all the little heads, yellow and black, frizzled and smooth; the naughty, eager, hands and _noisx feet, that had made the great room —human, but now leftrtrquiet and empty. Eighty pairs of noisy boots had clattered down the staiis; eighty baby woes had been relieved; eighty little" torn coats pulled on with loving hands; eighty slopjjy little kisses fondly pressed on a willing cheek, and another day was over. I sank into my small rocking chair, and, claapiDg my arras over my head, bent it upon the table and closed my eyes. The sun shone gratefully in at the west windows (he was our most generous subscriber, and the children's wannest friend), touched the goldfish with rosy glory, and poured a flood of grateful heat over my shoulders. The clatter of a tin pail outside the door, the uncertain turning of the knob by a hand too small to grasp it. "I forgitted my bucket. Good-by, Miss Kate." (Another kiss.) •Good-by, little man; run along." Silence again, this time continued and profound. Mrs. Jenkins was evidently not coming to-day to ask n e if she should give blow for blow in her next connubial fracas. I was grateful to be spared until, the morrow, ' when I should perhaps have greater strength to attack Mr. Jinkins. and help Mrs. Somer's dropsy, and find mourning for the-tlones funeral, and clothes for the new Higgins twins. (Oh, Mrs. Higgins, would not one have sufficed you?) But the sun sunk lower and lower behind the dull brown hills, and sleep brought- forgetfulness for half an hour, until I was awakened by a sub- \ dued and apologetic cough. Starting from, my nap, I sat bolt upright m astonishment, for quietly eseoneU in a small red chair by my table, sitting still,as a mouse, was the wierdest ap- / paratton. ever seen in human form. A boy, seeming—how many years old flhftll T sayP for in some ways he might hftVflhflftn a century old when he was as if he had never would born—looking in fact never been young and grow older. He had a shrunken, somewhat deformed body, a curious, melancholy face, with a hedge of eyebrow, and with such a head of hair that he might have shocked for a door-mat. I gazed at this astonishing diagram of a countenance for a rrinuie spellbound, thinking it resembled nothing so-much as a geological map, marked with coal deposits. And as for his clothes, his jacket was ragged and arbitrarily 4°&&1 at the waist, while one of bis trousar legs was slit up at the side and flapped hither and thither like a lugsail in a calm. . "Well, sir." said I at length, waking up to my duties as hostess, "did you com ft to pee mpp" "Yes, I did." " Let me think; I don't seem to remember Are yon one of my little f r i e n d s ? " " N o .

"Him and Ts brothers, kind of brothers, not sure 'nuff brothers; we lives together, and he minds me when I'm sick, and swipes the grub, yer know." "And you Haven!t any father, poor little man?" "Yer bet yer life I don't want no more falher in miae. He knocked me down them stairs, and then he went off in a Lhip, and I don't go a cent on fathers.!!^ : (Here he withdrew with infinite trouble from, his ragged pocfeet an orange, or at least tLe remains of one. which seemed to have dealt with by circumstance.) "Here's an orange I b r u n g yer! It's been skwuz some, but there's more in it!" "Thank you Patsy" (Forced expression of radiant gratitude). "Now, let us see! You want to come to the Kindergarten. But, oh! Pasty, I'm like the old woman in the shoe, I have so many children 1 don't know what to do!" "Yos, I know. Jim knows a boy what went here wunst He said you never licked the boys, and he said, when the niffV little girls come to git in, with their with their white aprons yer said there warn't no room; but w h e n t l a dirty chaps with tored4close come yer said yer'd make room.

She give her silk dress a swish to one side, so! and then sho qocked her head over like a road sparjer, and then her hands, all jingling over w i ^ rings, wont whizzine up and down them black and white teeth just like anything!"

"If he used his best wiles to obtain It, And keeps It, she* 11 count it quite strange, And advises him not to retain It, Unless he gives his in exchange. Tradition tells us that this good old saint lived long ago in Borne, a kindly bishop, who was beheaded by one of the emperors and early canonized. His works of love and charity no doubt inspired the young men and maidens of that ancient city to choose him as their patron saint and pray that under his benign influence their loves should be propitious. To him, perhaps, those •gave, heroic warriors sent up their 'earnest pleas that he, not chance, would favor as with beating hearts and trembling hands they drew the names of fair and Mushing girls, recorded as their fates; and devout enough were their thanksgivings when the coveted Claudia or the much-desired Aggripina were accorded to them'. Time-honored, the custom has been handed down through all the centuries, modified by place and circumstances. In the good old days of "merry England," St. Valentine ranked high in the calendar, and rich and poor, in hall and cot, besought his tender offices when the momentous choice was made —when youth and maidens drew their valentines. Poets sang out their roundelays; happy voices chanted bis praise, mingling their notes with the feathered songsters who, too made choice of mates that day. tiegin these wood-birds bat to couple now i quoth the immortal Shakespeare, king of bards, Quaint enough were some of the effusions exchanged by rustic lovers, and curious the devices of bleeding hearts, true love-knots and flames of love eternal. On those and others of more elegant conceit tho good old saint beamed kindb^ ela^erceTyf^T^^ heart so tender,/foe vowed that lovers should not sigh /in vain— that gentle maidens should be happy. And still he sends his boyish messengei out—the sly Dan Cupid—to conquor the Kingdom of love, to pierce the hearts that dwell apart, that pine to be as one. He smiles, the compassionate soul, when the bow is strung, when the wellaimed arrows reach their mark, and from the crimson stain the pure and lambent light of love undying plays upon the wounded hearts—no longer two, but one. Good, kind old saint, invoke on us the love of kindred souls; inspire us,too. with love's sweet fantasy. Out upon the churls who pervert the tender usage of this day; fie upon the bands that pen the words of wounding wit and malice.

Senator Douglas, who served in the Black Hawk war with President Lincoln, used to tell a good story about "Old Abe's" military exploits. He enlisted in a calvary company, which started off in fine spirits to engage in deadly fray. Arriving at a point on the prairie about two hundred miles from the Indian lines the party bivouacked for the night, picketed their horses and slept on their arms. The method of picketing their horses was that in coin.- jnon use—fastening a huge rope, some eighty feet in length, to ~& stake firmly planted, and then using smaller lines of considerable length, one end attached to the animal's neck, and the other to the main rope. During the night the sentinel imagined he saw the Indians and immediately discharged his fusee. The campjwas-aroused in an instant and each sprang to his saddle. ^OIcT Abe'' shot out in the darkness on his charger, until the ropes /•hove, tout," when over he went, horse and hhnself, headlong, Thinking^bimself caught in an Indian ambush, he gathered up, mounted, and putting spurs, to his horse took the opposite shute, but soon brought up as before, horse and rider tumbling headlong.

To THK HONORABLE, THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPBBSENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. * The undersigned citizens and taxpayers of the Village of Pinckney, County of Livingston and State of Michigan would most respectfully represent to your honorable body as follows, to wit: That we are.entirely satisfied with the corporate condition of our village; that though some of us gave our signature .to a petition to Jiave the act incorporating the vilfage repealed, it was done through an entire misapprehension of the status of affairs arising from a misrepresentation, to the effect that our expenses were excessive and our finances in a low state, which, upon investigation we found exactly the reverse, the expenditures having been moderate and the treasury cortaining over $400. We are therefore most decidedly opposed to any interference with our corporate condition, either in regard to repealing the incorporating act or in any way changing the limits by extending or contracting the boundaries of our-village, and we will ever pray, etc. .

Kellogg, (Dear Sir:—I have been afflicted fori some years with rheumatism in my *)ack and limbs, and could get 'no permanent relief. My mother-in-law recommended your Columbian Oil, which entirely cured her of inflammatory rheumatism. I have since Satin rebelled against the Ruler of High Heven. Jefferson Davis is obnoxious to too many patriotic citizens to be thus thrust forward in the face of a nation. Nobody objects to him as a relic, quietly shelved, at Beavoir, Mi.ssisspipi; b u t the good sense of the nation does object to dragging him forth from his seclusion to receive honor ;\ud make speeches in commemoration of a struggle for liberty. Aside from the &et that a panegyric by Jeff. Davis on liberty is about as absurd as would be a sermon by Bob Ingersoll in favor of the atonement, it is in exceedingly bad taste to resurrect a mummy whose odor is not and cannot-be fragrant h r the j taken one bottle, which jias cured me. & My wife has also used it tor neural- nostrils of a people which firmly, and as it was supposed, effectually shelved him a score of years ago. There should be no room for'Davis in any patriotic gathering, and if his own sense of the proprieties is so blunted as to cause him to ignore that fact, he should be made to recognize it by the outspoken expression of a loyal, forgiving, but not forgetful people. Among all the blunders of the management of the World's Fair, there bag been norfle greater, just as perhaps there has been no act ino-re significant, than this,—Detroit Journal. A t 2rl5 o'elockjJiis afternoon two well muffled forms of middle hight entered the office o f - t h e Russell House.

"Thank God we are hero at last," ejaculated Clements as be seized the hotel register and wrote his name. "Yes," sighed his companion,' "we're here sure enough." "Have you anything to eat" queried gia. and other aches and pains, it always curing almost instantly. Send me five dollars worth, as I want several of my neighbors to use it. Respectfully yours, L.

The Chicago Tribune's special from Niagara Falls gives the following derails: • "The ice-bridge is grand beyond description, arid is the strongest and largest that has ever been seen here. . The water in the river rose over thirty feet and tossed huge pieces of broken ice, weighing several tons high upon the bangs. The ferrymen's houses under the cliff are nearly buried in the ice. The new steamer, Maid of the Mist, now nearly completed, which was to be launched early in the spring, was torn from its fastenings and lay broad side on the rugged ice, and may possibly be wrecked when the ice bridge moves out in the spring. The Falls, with their iced trees and shrubbery, resemble a sceno of fairy land. The sleighing is fine, and the" thermometer stands above zero.'' The Rochester Union of January Silk, say a that "the finest view of Ni- •Jpra Falls with its wonderful ice-bridge jrleto be obtained from the Michigan Central Cantilever Bridge." The Post Express of the same date says: "The ice-bridge at Niagara Falls presents the grandest appearance from the Michigan Central trains as they cross on tbe Cantilever Bridge. Passengers are loud in admiration of the scene presented by the work of the cold weather." The Buffalo Courier, speaking two days later of the wonderful ice scenery at the Falls, says: "The tide of travel westward is just now having a double incentive for patronizing the Michigan Central, owing to the splendid opportunity afforded in crossing the Cantilever Bridge to see the grand and impresi »ive spectacle presented by the icebridge, at Niagara Falls. A second opportunity is also presented at Falls View station, where all passenger trains are timed to stop five minutes to give passengers the finest view of the surrounding scenery that can be had from any point. The station is located at an eminence so situated as to command a complete view of the Falls."

As a consequence the ground lus again been subject to inspection by the political engineers, new dispositions made and additional strategies determined, in order to meet the extraordinary exigency of Governor Cleveland's new descent upon the metropolis. There are not a few Senators who pronounce the renting of the Butler mansion for Senate committee rooms the most useless act of governmental extravagance on a small scale yet recorded. In the first place the annual >eutal amounts to $10,000. A portion of the house remains vacant for the reason that there is really no use for it. This building was procured to provide five committees with rooms, neither one of which bus any public bussinesson hand or to report at this late stage of the session. When the building was leasedjthfi JkLniture_of Senator Jones, of Nevada, who had occupied the mansion, was for sale. A portion of the furniture was bought by the government for use of the c o m M t t e j j ^ m s j ^ ^ J b e ^ j udgement displayed in making the selections is manifested in the purchase of a iniru- Jb«r_oJ^Jiairs_at the juice-of$25_each. They are heavychairs, filieTy7carveo!7 aad "Belonged to the dining-room of the Jones' outfit; but they are not suitable chairs for committee, room use. Revolving chaifs^-'with cane -back- asd seaisv^ueiC 4is_ar eJn corn-_ mon use-^ln the Senate comrnitte'e rooms could have been bought new for IG or $8 apiece. Some of the elegant carpets, which Senator, Jones had put dewn when he firs) furnished the mansion, were, also .taken by the government at hij^bifgures. In one month Congres8^will adjourn, but a resolution h a r a s s e d the Senate for the appointment of extra, messengers and janitors to guard the Butler mansion, aW the costly government fur^ "ijiture it contains during the recess, The Democrats are becoming very uneasy over the prospect of an extra session, and many say they do not see how it can be averted. There are n. only about fifteen working days left of the cession, which m&y be still further reduced by side issues that may be brought up from day to day. But about thirty-six lines of the post office appropriation bill have been disposed of, and the most important parts of the bill, those most likely to excite controversy, yet remain to be considered. This will occupy not ~less7TMir1wonoT tinree--day^ there is no considerable interruption. Besides this the ten objection rule has Jbeen _%!!<•)wed to continue in force, and together with the reading of the journal occupies the time until half past one o'clock. After this* the House is subject to all sorts of delays, arising out of questions of priyilege, roll call and the like. With matters in this condition there are still five appropation bills besides the post office bill to be parsed, all of which will be antagonized in consideration by property rights in such articles and to prohibit the sale of such liquors except tor the purposes named, and then only under such regulations as shall be established by law; also that the legislature shall enact laws, with suitable penalties, to suppress the manufacture gift or sale, the dealing of or traffic \p liquors-a very comprehensive measure indeed—came up in the House Tuesday. Representative Gibbs, of Grand Traverse, was called to the chair and read with much deliberation the terms ot the joint resolution. A very good audience was assembled, largely Prohibitionists, who expected to be edified by some good speeches for their side and be shocked by the remarks of the opposition. Very much to their surprise, but not to the sur prise of the initiated, not a word was said upon the subject. Chairman Gibbs pasued at suitable intervals, but no member claimed the floor. It was thought that Representative Chapman of Hillsdale, would urge the adoption of the joint resolution, but he had not a word to say. In five minutes by the clock the committe of the whole had risen and the joint resolution was placed upon the order of third reading. There was a disposition to- place it upon its immediate passage, but the fear that the necessary two-thirds could not be obtained prevented the Prohibition members from undertaking the movement. They figured, with all possible allowances and assumption, up some sixty votes—seven' short of the requisit number, and concluded to let the measure takes its natural course. If it comes up at an unpropitious time they will cause it.to be"hs;idTrpoTtthe- table-, from-whence it can be taken when a sufficient number of votes shall have been pledged to secure it—passage., JThe^ Prohibition BARGAINS IN DRESS GOODS!

Feb. 2.1811, and as he died on Feb. 1, 1885, he was seventy-four years of age. Mr. Reynolds resided in the vicinity of his birthplace until 1835, when he removed with his parents to Clarksfieid, Huron county Ohio, where in 1844, he was married to Rebecca A. Miller, who bore to him seven children, of whom five survive him: George E, and Mrs. Theresa BC; Thompson, of llollenburg, Washington Co., Kansas, Henry J. a resident of Elsie, Clinton Co., Mich., Mrs. Flora Peck, of Wakeman, Ohio, and Mrs; Emma L. Green, of Stockbridge. In the fall of 1845 he moved with his family upon the farm two and one-half miles east of Plainfield, now owned by R. Woodworth. It was at that plactf in 1861, he lost his first wile, and iri 1862 he married Rhoda M. Wilhelm*' who still survivesJiim. In 1869 Mr.- Reynolds sold his farm in Unadilla and bought the place east of this village, upon which he resided at^hi* death. He commenced life ipoor, by working out summers, "by the month and attending'school during the wini^ r earning atrfirst but f3 "per month. - Having acquired sufficient proficiency in his studies he began at an early age teaching school, and in aUT he^EiugBt^ you to understand that we despise all who get-intoxicated-,- for in th<Mr sober states very many of them possess a true heart and one that is warmed by many generous impulses. So, to a certain extent, might be said ot our station agent, E. McGarigle; but when a man in his position succumbs to a three days' spree—as he did last week —he should not be tolerated much longer, and if there is any intimation of a repetition of such conduct the company ought to immediately appoint his successor. We are sorry to speak so plainly Of one who has in every way dealt squarely and honorably with us, but we are here to uphold the right and condemn the wrong, our duty requires it and an indignant community demands it. A second concert under the auspices of the choir will be given at the Congregational church on Thursday evening next, March 5, 1885.

The ice closed in rapidly and no water oould be seen for several days. The crew realised their helpless oondition, and that all attempts to extricate themselves would be but a waste of time, labor and material, and patiently waited for a change of wind to break their icy tetters. ^— Day-by-day went by without any signs of liberation, and the isasstioo of provisionsj^^^^^j^j A l g 0 t 4 e memorial 0 f the lower animal nature the OTH'HA t h e begun to be a aerioua one.

THE STORY OF PATSY. i 1 CHAPTER n . »Morning came as mornings do come - , . - ... i_« _ : - bringing to the overworked* body a n d ^ 5 * ™ * always waitinfr for mme. mind a certain languor difficult to shake l n t h e afternoons. *» ** P ? » d off. As I walked down the dirty little street, with its rows of old clothes shops, saloons and second-hand furniture stores, 1 & tiled several of my laggards, and gave them a friendly warning. "Quarter of 9, Mrs. Finnjgan!" "Bless me soul, darlin'.! Well, I will hurry up my children, that I will; but the'baby was.fcb.at bad with the whoopin' cough last night that I never got three winks meself, darlin'!"' / At last, come to that little tin shop on the corner—a blessed trysting place, forever sacred, where the children wait for me in sunshine, rain, wind and storm, unless forbidden; and here on the step sits faithful Patsy, with a clean and shining morning,face, all glowing with_ anticipation. How well I remember my poor lad's first day. Where should I seat him? But a pull at my skirt and a whisper decided me. "Please can't I set aside o' you, Miss KateP" "But, Patsy, the fun of it is I never do sit." "Why, I thought teachers never done notMn' but s e t ' ° •'--"""" _ ~**You don't knrjw much about little boya and girls, that's sure! Well, suppose youput-your chair in front and close to me. Here is Maggie Bruce on one side,—She is a real little kindergarten mother, and will show yoa just IOW to do everything. Won't . W - f h i a d o n j u s h a n d _ -^Maggie?** * I He soon learned the family history of every child in the school, and those family histories, I assure you, were of an exeitiDtf nature; but so great* was Patsy's prudence and his idea of the proprieties that he never divulged his knowledge till we were alone. Then his tongue would be loosed and he would break into his half child-like, half ancient and reflective converaa tion. Meanwhile, though not perfect he was greatly changed for the better. We had given him-a neat little coat and trousers, his hair was short and smooth,' and his great dark eves shown with un untteable content. He was never joy ous; born under a cloud he had in its "shadow, and sorrow, jtoof early borne had left its indelible impress, only_to be rem<>yed-by the "undisturb ed vision of^theiather's /ace, which is joy unutterable;" but for the first time s life he was at peace. So, in those busy afternoons, when the little flock bad gone, Patsy and I stayed together and arranged the next day's occupations. It was he who fastened the ends and threaded the needles and set right the sewing cards of the babies; and only the initiated can comprehend the labyrinthian maze into which an energetic three-year-old can transform a bit of sewing. It was he who fished the needles from the cracks in the floor, rubbed the blackboards, and scrubbed the slates, talking busy the while. "Jee-rush-y! Miss Kate, we can Jimmy Buck nave no more needles; he "Why, didn't I oughter say that?" 4 "I wish you had a mother, dear!" "If I had I'd know more'n I do now," and a great sigh heaved itself upward from beneath the ragged shirt and torn jacket: "No, you wouldn't know so much, Patsy, of at least, you would gel the right end first; never mind, dear boy, Von can't understand." Jim did not find his girl that summer, although he "looked" industriously. Either the "millinrtariei" did not smile upon him and his slender bank account, or they were not willing to wash the dishes and halve the financial responsibilities besides, but as the reluctant summer, never warm and orthodox, slipped into autumn,and as the autumn days gave place to the dull, dark wintry weather, Patsy's pale face grew paler, and his soft, dark eyes grew larger and more pathetic. It seemed to me as a sixth sense came to him in those days, so full was he of wisdom and strange old fashioned thoughts and intuitions. His eyes never left my face; when, in passing from one child, to another, my glance fell upon him, his loving gaze over picture books, or sat silently by the window, watching the drops chase each other down the window pane, his talk was of heaven and the angels. His mind was evidently on that mystery which has puzzled souls since the beginning of time: for no anxious, weary waiting heart has ever ceased to beat without its passionate desire to look into the beyond. uNixy Jones' mother died yesterday, Miss-Kate, they had an orful nice tuner- Tes, I am sorry for the Door little children; they will miss their mamma."

"Oh, Patsy, child, stop suc^i fearful thoughts! I expect people arer glad" und willing to stay when they are dead —the part of them that wonders and thinks and feels and loves and is happy or sad—you know what I mean, don't you?" "Yes," he said slowly; leaning his" Well, LhaL pail God takes carerof is his own, &nd He makes it all right. And as for our bodies.

At the Friday evening service the pastor wrought the ooagregation up to a pitch of intense excitement by proclaiming that a named Dengal had seen Jean* Ohr&t and had bean eon vet ted* Mrs. Mills, aa excitable wonua. leaped on a bench and ottered .i loud ahriek. Great excitement followed, thaorgaaist struck up a tune, and Pastor Dodge yelled to the people to about aa loud aa they could so that the Lord could hear the news of their great triumph over the evil one. The command was literally obeyed, and the people were erased by excitement. The interior of the church was wrecked, the pulpit and Bible torn to pieces, and Dr. Dodge hurled through a window, Dongel was lifted up by the women and carried down the aisle. The excitement oontinued until daylight, at which tine everything portable was smashed t3 pieces. On Saturday Dougel became a raving maniac and carried all hla money to the preacher, At the 8atorday night (meeting Dongel ad* dreased Dr. Dodge as Judas laoariot, and ordered him to leave the pulpit, earthing him a murderous blow with a club, fracturing his akull.

He was arrested and placed in Jail at Kankakee, but was subsequently taken to Chicago for his protection A HOWLCfG MOB. A prooeeaion composed of 3,000 unemployed workmen, accompanied by bands of music and carrying banners inscribed with legends denouncing the government and demanding work, marched to the buildings in London, on the 16th, occupied by the local government board in Whitehall. A delegation foroed its way into the effioes of the board and demanded that means of relief be aSorded-them by the establishment cf -pub- Ho relief works. The official* present gave the delegation a cold -joeoepaoa offering them no encouragement whatever. This treatment eo incensed the mob that what had previously been but a noisy demonstration at onoe assumed the form of a riot. The men marched to the official reeidenoe of Mr. Gladstone; where a halt was called. Here they gave groans and biasce-for zthai premier and the entire liberal cabinet and roundly denounced them for their negligence of the workingman and his interests. The cabinet was in session at the time and the sudden assembling of the mob caused the members great alarm. Mr. Gladstone, said, at first thought that the mob iniented to sack the building and offer penonal violenoe to him and his colleagues: in the meantime the pohce WAS keariJy reinforced, and the mob WUB finally driven from the stored not,JiowBTert until it had made an ai admiralty and home offices, pelted with all sorts of missiles.

The wreck took fire and 3S can, including the baggage and mail can, were burned. A YOUTHFUL GANG. For some time the Lake 8hon railroad company has been losing large quantities of goods in Buffalo, N Y., and adjacent stations. BfeUled detectives were employed, but no clew waa found to the perpetrators.

Lord Wolseley has committed suicide. Enormous numben of hostile Arabs a n missing at Tamai. The Italians atBellnl rerun topermit Egyptian troops to land then. The Italians an entrenching at Massowah and building pien for the landing of stores and* troops. A later dispatch says: The suicide of Gen. Lord Wolseley is reported by special dhv patches both hen and at Paris. The source of the news is the same, however, the story coming from Jeddah, when it is being circulated by the Turks. The accounts slso say that then has bean a maseaon of British troops in the desert. The Turks at Jeddah are hostile to the English troops, refusing to sell supplies to the army. London 1» greatly excited by the disasters in the Soudan, and it is believed that Wolseley has fallen by assesntnation rather than by hla own hand. Still, his failure and predfea* ment have for several days been regarded as desperate, and he is a man of mercurial temperament, whose previous career has not bten broken by misfortune. An eye-witness of the fall of Khartoum hae written Gen. Wolseley stating that theenemy entend that city at day-break Jan. 26. and that Gordon was killed by a •oiler from rebel riflemen while making his way from hie quarts i tto the Austrian consul. Orman Digma is reported to have 10,000 warrior's ready for fighting at an hour's warning, and that he will make a supreme effort to capture 8uakim before the arrival of British ninforeements. Alliance with Turkey is suggested means of helpmc England onto? her ent troubles ia Egypt. The contract for the construction of a railroad from Suakim to Berber has been let. The road will be built at once. The demand for reinforcements for Egypt has obliged the British government to release several hundred soldiers imprisoned for military offenses.

A Negro imn ate named Joseph Nadine, confessed to having let fin to the building, at the instigation of Peter Schroeder, one of the chief attendants. Schroeder it seems had a grudge against one of the physicians in charge. Nadine told of awful cruelties inflicted on patients by the attendant Schroeder. Nadine was committed to the institution as an imbeeilf, but had ao far recovered as to be permitted to go about alone, and several timee had been allowed to go home unattended.

Behifcrj. a neat, prescription counter the druggist sat stnoking a cigar and talking with a fri*od oo a moist evening when business in the drug-store WPS less brisk than usual. Complex yet faint odors from the hundrends of carefully labelled jars and bottles on the shelves mingled with the fragrance of tobacco smoke, and seemed to impart a mysterious charm to the conversation. 4,I have made it a point tor thirty years," said the druggist, "to pay strict attention to a prescription wtkile I am compounding i t and then t£4rop it out of my mind entirely. Tfc»t is the best way to avoid making mistakes." A girl with a fchawl over her head came in and presented a bottle and a piece of pader, on which her mother had written: "Please send five cents wth orinka for sore throte." The druggist quietly poured some arnica isfeo the bottle, parted ona label, took r t|* proffered nickle, and sat down to i-etpwe his talk. MAs Iwa« saying, I always forget a prescription as soon as I have filled it. Of course it is numbered and preserved for future reference, but if one of my regular customers should ask me to put up 'some more medicine same as the last, you know, I would have to send him home for the bottle *hich had the number ot the prescription on it. It I attempted to remember all the medicines I mix, I would soon be insane. A druggist ought to feel that when he fills a physician's order he holds the lite of some person/in his hand. To mistake one drug/for another at such a time may/Cost a life. Such mistakes result frqm carelessness a s a rule, not from ignorance as most people think/1 / "Dad wants a^o-house blister," said a boy who ha^entered the store u4o_b-_ served. / " WhaHoeshe wan4r4fc for*" "To/|E>ut on ma's side where he— where it pains'erf Do you mean a porous plaster?" "Ohf Yessir." In nine cases out often, I believe," the druggist said, when he had the opportunity to take up the thread of his^ discourse again, "carelessness and not ignorance is the cause of druggists' mistakes. A druggist who knows he is not proficient in the business will look carefully at every jar otJxrftfe W A T C H E S which he uses in comp^irdrngaTTOT^ der. An experienced druggist, unless he is a c^rehfTman, will mistake one &£&g7or another which has a similar appearance, because he neglects to look at the label. Such errors, happen morr easily when a man permits his per scriptiorv counter to become lit with drugs not wanted fopirtfmediatfc use. It is safer to^etear the counter after eachjirde^is filled. The worst posaibte^habit for a-drugsfist, however, Tito remember perscriptions already compounded. When a man attempts the feat of thinking about an old perscription while he is at work on a new one, he is in a fair way to commit a murderous blunder." . A man wjth" a long, thin nose, who had entered softly, waited until the druggist had walked from the prescription counter to the tront before he inquired in a low voice: "Is there any sickness in Mr. Pillbox's family? I see his boy came in here a while ago." "If you wish to know about Mr. Pillbox's affairs you had better go and ask him. I do not make a practice of retailing gossip about my customers." "Ah! Good evening." "There is another reason why a druggist should forget his work when it is finished," said the compounder after the inquisitive man had departed. "Such a practice enables a man to keep the confidence of customers without trouble.Nothing!* more fatal to the business of a druggist than a well* founded belief among his neighbors that he will gossip about persons who buy drugs from him. It is surprising how many persons make attempts to get information from druggists about their neighbors. I have given blunt answers in such cases, and, curiously enough many of the persons who have appeared to be most offended at. my refusals to give information have become regular customers of mine. In such cases the golden rule can be followed with profit as well as with pleas , ure.—New Tork S u n ^ Eoger Brothers PLATED WARE! 10 per cent below C O S T . BARTON & CAMPBELL. ART NEEDLEWORK!

Oxs of the methods of detecting criminals in India is compelling them to chew rice in the presence of officers. The influence df fear on the salivary glands is said to be such that if the accused are guilty there is no secretion of saliva in the mouth and chewing is impossible, and they promptly con tees. 4Twon't work haste. American criminals have their salivary glands under Jpetter control. A STORY is told of a shrewish Scotchwoman who tried to wean her husband from the drain-shop by employing her brother to aet the part of a ghost, and frighten John on his way home. "Who are you?" said the guidman, as the apparation rose before him from behind a bush. "I am Auld Nick," was the reply. "Come awa' man," said John, nothing daunted.

Again, thread and worsted are now habitually used by sundry species nf birds in building their nests, instead of wool and horse-hair, which in turn were no doubt originally substitutes for vegetable fibers and grasses. This is especially noticeable in the case of the tailor-bird, which finds thread the best material wherewith to sew. The common house-sparrow furnishes another instance of intelligent adaptation of nest-building to circumstances, for in trees it builds a domed nest (presumably, therefore, the ancestral type), but in towns avails itself by preference of sheltered holes in buildings, where it can afford to save time and trouble by constructing a loosely-formed nest Moreover, the chimney and houseswallows have similarly changed their instincts of Tiidifi^tlo^An^in America this change has laken place within the • last^two or three hundred yenj»r Indeed, according to Captaia- EIliott Coues. all the species of allow on that continent (with one possible exception) have thus modified the sites ana structures of their nests in accordance with the novel facilities afforded by the settlement of the country. Another instructive case of an intelligent change of instinct in connection wUH:n«»t.frttHdiny \a y j y ^ fr^m-ft"Ifttffir 4¾ £4' by Mr. Haust, dated New Zeland, 1862, which I find among Mr. Darwin's manuscripts. Mr. Haust says that the Paradise duck, which naturally or usually builds its nest along the rivers on the ground, has been observed by him on the east of the island, when disturbed in their nests upon the ground, to build "new ones on the tops of high trees, afterward bringing their young ones down on their backs to the water;" and exactly the same thing has been re edby another observer of vsdkidHcks in Guiana. Now, if intelligent adjustment to peculiar ci£oumstances is thus adequate, notiwry to make a whole breed or sftectee of birds transport their their backs—or, as in the the woodcock, between their legs—ibut even to make web-footed water-fowl build their nests in high trees, I think we can have ho doubt that if the need of such adjustment were of sufficiently long continuance, the intelligence which leads to .it would eventually produce a new and remark* able modification of their ancestral initittct of nest-building. • Elmina I).

Do Yo« want** MfBa»Ba3a,s earnest that the reporter resolved to go around and »ee what morel.could be learned about Hops and Malt Bitters. These bitters are manufactured in a fine four story brick block at 136'West Larned street where the employes were found Busily engaged in disposing of orders from wholesale druggists. The bitters are recommended for dyspepsia, liver and kidney complaints, and rheumatism, and are recognized as the most thorough blood purifier ever produced' The Hops and Malt Bitters Co., has hundreds of testimonals from prominent and well-known men of influence aud veracity, among which are mfvnv ministers whoeuloj^zeHop and Malt Bitters as a tonic preparation without parallel in their experience. When Mr. Hyzer's case was mentioned our reporter was tafonnetf that there were five cases within a square of tho office of men ouredof rheumatism and dyspepsia, and women relieved of the miseries peculiar to their sex. ~ The formula of these bitters embraces hops as an ap~ jaatiapr and tonic; malt as a highly conoentatednutrtious element; oascara, or biicKxhorn bark as a lexative; dandelion as the .finest liver-regulator' in nature's pharmacopeia, and an acknowledged specihe for "de*angefcie*t» of the k»ne|^^'8rileotf %nd dna/^y organs; bUcbu,' the. niost riopilar nr^the world, sarsaparilla, the great and only antidote to mercurial poison; mandrake, a liver alterative without a peer, and aromatics to gi^a the compounds a palatable and pungent flavor, and to stimulate the stomach.

Every farmer- should keep a can of the following mixture: Kerosene two quarts; linseed oil, one gill; rosin, one ounce. Melt the rosin in the linseed oil and add to the kerosene. Coat all steel or iron tools, wherever bright, with this, when they are to lie idle, if only for a few days. It will not take half a minute for half of teaspoonful of the mixture to coat & plow, when one has finished u&iug it, and it will prevent all rust and save half a day's time in cleaning it when it is again needed. Coat the iron work ofth mowers and reapers when they atf put away. A little rust is only a little thing, but it make much difference in the aggregate.—Ex.

Moreover, if from this hour we cheerfully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust, and determine, with manly oonfidenee in one another, to work out harmoniously the acblevementi of our national destiny, we shall deserve to realise all the benefits which our happy lorm of government can bestow. On this auspioious occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to the constitution, which, launch' ed by the founders of the republic and oonseorated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has for almost a century borne the hopes and the aspirations of a great people through prosperity and peace, and through the shook ot foreign conflicts and the perils ol domestic strife and vissioitudes. By the father of his country our constitution was commended for adoption as "the result of a spirit of amity and mutual concession.'' In that same spirit it should be administered, in order to promote the lastinK welfare of the country and to secure the full-measure of its priceless benefits to us and thote who will succeed to the blessings of our national life; Tne large variety of diverse and oompeting interests subject to federal oontrol, persistently seeking the recognition of their oiaims, need give us no fear that "the greatest good to the greatest number" willfaO to be accomplished if, in the halls of national legislation, that spirit of amity and mutual cononision shall prevail in which the constitution had its birth. If this involves the surrender or postponement oi private Interests and the abandonment of local advantages, oompennation will be found in the assurance that thus the common interest te subserved and the general welfare advanced. In the discharge ot my official duty 1 shall endeavor to be guided by a just and unstrained construction of tbe constitution, a careful observance o> the distinction between the powers granted to tbe federal government and those reserved to the states or to the people, a&d by a cautious appreciation of those functions which by the constitution and laws have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the government. Bat he who takes the oath to-day to preserve, protest and defend the constitution of the United States only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotio citizen* on the farm, in the workshop, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere should share with him. The consUtation which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, is yours ; the government you have chosen him to administer for a time is yours; khe suffrage which exeoates thjjrill of freemen la yotatet tha lava THE PEOPLE DEMAND REFORM in the administration ef the government ind the application of bosineas principles to publie affairs. As a means to this end, oivil service reform should be in good faith enforced. Our oitlzans have the right to protection from incompetenoy of publlo employes who hold their place* sohly as the reward of partisan lervioe, and from the corrupting influence of those who expect such rewards. And those who wortnliy seek public employment have the right to insist that merit and competency shall be recognized instead of party snbaervienoy or tne surrender of honest poll teal belter. FOR THE COLORED BROTHERS. In the administration of a government pledged to do equal and exact justice to all men, there should bo no pretext tor anxiety touching the protection of the freedmen in their rights, or their security in the enjoy ment of their privileges under the constitution and its amendments. All discussion as to their fitaooe for the place aooorded to them as American citizans is idle and unprofitable except as it suggests the necessity for their improvement. Tne fact that they are citizens entitles them to all the rights due to that relation, and charges them with all its duties, ^obligations and responsibilities. IN CONCLUSION. Tcsee topics and the^oonstant^ and^erver varying wants of an active and enterprising population may well reoeive the attention and the patriotio endeavor of ail who make and execute the federal laws'. Oar duties are practical and call for industrious application and intelligent p«roeptioa of the claims of public office, and above all, a firm determination by united action to secure to ah the people of the land the full benefits of the best form of government ever vouchsafed to man. And let us not trust to human effort alone, but humbly acknowledging the power and goodness of Almighty Gad, who presides over the destinies of nations, and who has at all times been revealed in our country's history, let ns invoke his aid and nis blessing upon our labors.

The day had been a dreary one for the young matron, Rebecca Parsons. She was entirely alone in their humble forest home as she, the bride of a few months, had given a "God speed" to her Rufus and bade him go with the brave band of Massachusetts volunteers to fight for freedom and a freeman's right. Rebecca wrapped herself in warm shawls, caught up the milk pail and started to the barn, looking ba^k^tTthe bright tire that burnedjn^the great, wide fireplace. She-H5urst into tears, and said: •-> "L caj?Ct^i can't spare Rufus much longerTit's so lonely here now. I'd rather be oppressed by Old England and have Rufus home than to be free and live without him. Then—;he may be killed." Rebecca milked Bonny Lass, the sleek, gentle cow, and was pulling down hay for Prince's supper, when she was startled by a faint moan. Another louder groan alarmed her. Weak and nervous from a reeent illness, she almost fainted. "Help me, friend, if you, can," said a weak voice. "God keep yon and yours, and reward yon for this," said the soldier, as he left the humble forest home. Rufus came home as he said he would, add Rebecca could nob redt until she told him all. "I am glad.Uttle woman, that you did not tell me sooner, as I should have thought it right to have given him up; but I am glad oh at you saved the English girl's husband for her. No doubt she would have done as much for you." * * • » * A year rolled by, and the war still went on. Rufus and Rebecca worked with a will to aid their cause. In those early days letters were few and scarce but one morning there came a packet from England for Mrs. Rufus Parsons. It was a great event in their monotonous lives, and delighted indeed was the young housewife at the dainty, pretty articles of drees and the toilet table sent by Mrs. Reginald Lingard. Rufus and Rebecca's little son was born to a heritage of freedom upon the very day the bells rang their joyful chimes telling the glad story of peace and victory. The summer Richard was 18 a great surprise came to the Parsons family. Sir Reginald Lingard, with his wife and two young daughters, drove up to "Haselwood Farm" one morning. Rebecca Parsons and Lady Lucie Lingard were at once tender and true friends, each forgetting the difference in dress and station. Victoria, the eldest daughter, was a genuine aristocrat, and a little inclined to snub and patronize ail Yankees; bul Beatrice, the piquant, black-eyed gypsy, was in love with everything she saw. When Sir Reginald was ready to start for home he discovered his little Bee was not heart-whole! "What are we to do about it Par> sonsP I think our two young oeapTe are in love wi*h each other-- X think my Bee is too yonnete^niarry, but if they are of the same mind a. few years from now I wHIgiye my consent" ••And^P^mine," said honest Rufus Parsons. -'And I think my son good enough to mate with a princess." "I think so, too, or I should not be willing to give him to my bonny Bee," answered Sir Reginald. The last evening of their stay in FOR THE CHILDREN.

One day when I was a lad, a party of boys and girls were going to a distant pasture to pick whortleberries. I wanted to go with them, but was fearful that my father would not let me. When I told him what was goin on, he at onceteave me permission to go with them. I could hardly retain myself for joy, and rushed into the kitchen and got a* big basket and asked mother for a luncheon. I had the basket on my arm and was just going out of the gate when my father called me back. He took hold of my hand and said in a very gentie voice: 4'.Tnsaph, what a,rwyhn goifig~for—tn pick berries, or to playP" "To pick berries," I replied. — "Then, Joseph, I want to tell you one thing. It is this: When*you find a fog to have some right now," Teddie, jumping down from test steps and beginning topick up some 0i the feathers scattered about the yard; "then I'll fly 'wayoC" That was a brilliant idea!

In the hay loft lay a young man. dressed in the hated uniform of a British soldier. "I am your prisoner, lady; do not betray me for the sake of my young wife. Think if it were you're own husband;" and he swooned, so weak and sick as was he from the effort it cost him to make this appeal to hte captor. Rebecca's heart was a tender and womanly one. She ran to the house for brandy and wine, and gave it to the soldier. She looked at the wound; a gaping, cruel one it was, and in the chest too, but only a flesh wound. She then carefully washed and dressed it. Having revived him, she gave him her arm to the house, where he could be concealed in the garret chamber from chance visitors. A high fever came upon the patient For days he raved in delirium, and Mrs. Parsons found it hard to control him. Two weeks' careful nursing and he was out of danger, but very weak and 4 spent. "Iwant to show you this, Mrs. Par- BnTy«, thfl picture of my wife," said Reginald Lingard as he took from his wallet an ivory painting of a sweet-faced, golden-haired girl, whose violet-hued eyes beamed with hope and joy.

Eleven living types of the "Wandering Jew"—a father, mbther and mne children—remained over Sunday recently in New Havon, Conn., Their history is suffloently remarkable to warrant a careful study. Mr. Charles F. Russell, the father, is a gentleman of culture.—Fourteen years ago he married Miss Chippiudale of Paddington, England,»part of the marriage contract being that should Providence bless them with an heir Mr. Russell would bold himself bound Jo take his wife on atrip around the world. About thir teen years ago a son was born, and Mr. and Mrs. Russell started upon the promised trip. ^ ....Before the entire circuit of the globe was made another son was born, and Mt. Russell felt himself called upon to make another "lap." He says he has been traveling around the world for nearly thirteen years and has made but seven complete circuits. He and his family are now on their eighth circuit, but he hardly expects to catch up with Mrs. Russell. He thinks she is a remarkable woman, and the oftener she (-repeats herself the better, but it is very discouraging to get up some morning and find another little stranger which calls for another circuit. He says they always travel westward, seldom repealing the same route. This trip they crossed the Atlantic to Canada and are now on their way to New York. They travel with as little baggage as possible, one portmanteau pertorming services for three. The nine children are bright, speaking the languages of the world.

J shall tell her when I go home that an enemy saved my life. i was wounded in the last skirmish, and so weak when I crawled into your barn thai I only wanted to die. How kind you have been to me?" At supper as she sat alone, two strong arms were folded -about her, and a loud voiced greeting told her, Rufus had come home. "Are you surprised to see me, little woman P" asked Rufus. "Indeed I am, as I did not know you were near here. Is there anything wrong, Rufus P" "Oh, no, bull it is rumored that a red-coat is in* this neighborhood. Now don't be fearful, Rebecca. 1 am here to-night, and good news, dear, after this week 1 am coming home to stay all the time." For once in her wedded life Rebecca had a secret from her husband. She dreaded to tell him about her prisoner, fearing he would think it his duty to give the poor fellow over to the American authorities, and pity for the young English wife made her heart tender toward her captive. For once ahe was sorry to have Rufus come/home. At daybreak Rufus kissed Rebeoea and rode away, bidding her keep watch ! for stray redcoats. At 9 o'clock she prepared a lunch for Mr. Lingard, made him as oemfortable as she obuld, and her prisoner took his leave. the dialects used at the building of the Tower of Babel.

Mr. Russell says he was originally of the belief that constant traveling through the cities of the earth would educate his children, but he is now afraid that ultimately they will all become tramps.

We have been so accustomed to looking upon the Father of bis Country as a medel of sedateness and "dignity that it is surprising to find out that he was capable of perpetrating a pun. But he was. It is related that Colonel Lear, of his staff, was greatly troubled with bucious and rheumatism of the feet, and Washington wrote a letter commending Colonel Lear to the care of his friend, Dr. Thornton, saying that he advised the Colonel to remain at the Capital " as long as he could derive benefit from your friendly prescription to his understanding."

But it w u just as my father said. No sooner had one found a good bush thau he called for all the rest, and they left their several places and ran off to the new found treasure. Not content more than a ^minute or two in one place, they rambled over the whole pasture, got very tired, and at night had a very few berries, My_ father's maids. .kepi ringing in my ears, and I "stnek to my bush." When I had done with one 1 found another and finished that, then I took another. When night came i had a large basketful of nice berries, more than all tbe others put together, and was not half as tired as they were. I went home happy; bnt when I entered I found that my father had taken ill. He looked at my basketful of ripe berries and said: "Well done, Joseph. Was it not just as I told you? Always stick to your bush." He died a few days afcer, and I had to make my own way in the world as best I could. But my father's words sank deep into my mind, and I never forget the experienes of the whortleberry party. I stuck to my bush. When I had a fair place and was doing tolerable well, I did not leave it and spend weeks and months in finding one a little better. When the other men said: "Come with us and we will make a fortune in a few weeks," I shook my hoad and "stuck tomv bush." Presently my employers offered to take me into business with them. I staid with the old house until the principals died and then I took their place. The habit of sticking to my business led people to Trusirme and gave Tne'a~characTer.

'V "Why yen must flap your wings just this way," said Nell, waving her hands wildly; "and when I say 'Three' we'll all jump off and fly. One, two, three!" The jumping was easy enough, nut alas for the flying. Down among the straw and hay of the barnyard tumbled three disconsolate looking little figures, and Teddie, striking an arm against a wagon box, set up a cry of pain which brought Mike from the barn, "And why couldn't ye fly P" repeated Mike, when he had heard the story. "Why, because the wings was none of your own, and nobody can fly with borrowed ones; If ye'11 just remember that, it'll be something worth learain', for there's plenty of older folks than you that's thryin' to do it.

From inquiry we have made them can be no doubt that, with one exception, all grades of colored wail papers manufactured in the United States oonr tainmoreor less arsenic. This practice of introducing a poisonous substance into a covering for walls is the more reprehensible from the face of its being totally^ unnecessary. One firm to be ne reason for other manufacturers using poisonous colors, except that by doing so they make a higher profit on their manufactures. Arsenical odors are strong and about half the price of non-arsenical colors, and herein lies the secret of their persistent use by wall paper manufacturers; and it appears to us that the action of the Legislature is called for to put a stop to the practice. We find, also, that a class of,colon used by wall paper manufacturers (who chum to sell non-poisonous wail paper), which have not arsenic as s. base, really contains much of this substance. We refer to colors composed of some white compound, such as whiting as a base, which is stained with aniline. These colors are very largely in use, and, of course, contain arsenic introduced with the aniline.

A Japanese Girl'* Toilet. St. Nicholas. When a Japanese girl gets up in the morning, she washes her face, but does not have to dross her hair. That is attended~to but once a week. The hairdresser comes to the house and arranges her jet-black locks in the fashion^ Tor little girls of her age. So ahe has no trouble about her hair, and after her bath the servant assists her to powder her"neck with a small white brush. She puts a little red paint on her lower lip, and a little gilding in the middle. When she removes her sleepiDg<4ress, she has on only a short skirt, which is simply a square piece 6f cloth, crape, or silk, tied around the wai-rt. No other under-clothing is worn. In making her toilet for the day, she first putsoii a garment made usually of shine streaming in at the open door turned the grain to gold. Outside, in the yard, were the children and the chickens—the former idle enough, and tho latter running here and there and scratching vigorously as if their lives depended upon their own exertions. Presently Winnie picSced up the dish in which she had brought the corn and went back to the house, but the younger children lingered, declaring that the pleasant autumn day was just like summer. From watching the chickens they began watching the doves on the roof of the barn. "I'd rather be a bird than a chicken," said George. " I'd like to be a bird," said Nell, dreamily. "Then I'd fly away up in the sky. I b'lieve I could 'most flf to heaven, any way. I'd go 'way off over the ocean." "Why can't we fly?" asked Georgie, wondertngly. "I never thought about that." " 'Cause we don't have any fezzers," explained Teddie, turning round from his post of observation by the barn-door. " That's it—we haven't anv feathers 01iwiugfc" ieid -Nell; » if we had, I guess we could fly." some coarse material, not very long, and reaching only to the waist but with. long sleeves. On the neck of this garment is sewed a deep fold of scarlet or some bright-colored crape or silk. A long, straight skirt of blue or red crape, silk, or wool is tied around the waist and overall three of these garments is worn the kimono, or dress. This is of some dark color, and made ot coarse spun silk or thick I crape. For festivals and holidays the dresses are of a very fine material and very handsome. The outer dress is simply a wrapper reaching to the feet, with very long and wide sleeves hanging nearly to the ground, and used as pockets, On each shoulder, a deep tuck is made which extends to the waist, thus making a little fullness for the skirt. But the dress has no gathers, and is straight all the way down. The neck is adorned with a wide 'piece of .black velvet or satin, which reaches nearly to the waist, and the dress is crossed over the bosom and confined by a girdle. Over this is worn-a very wide sash, a piece of brocaded silk or satin, stift with embroidery in geld and silver, lined with soft silk, and,fastened behind in a very large bow. When these are all on, but barefooted, or if in oool weather, in white mitcen-srclrs, made to reach only, to the ankle, and J pared with arsenic, this substance is constantly introduced by such means. It is therefore clear that the practice followed by the firms in question, of employing .permanently an expert chemist, who tests every package of color and glue by the Marsh test, which indicates the presence, of the twentythousandth part of a grain, is the only method by which non-arsenical wall papers can be produced. The public appear under the impression that arsenical poisoning from wall papers is due to portions of arsenic in powder being dusted eff the walls. Such is not the case; the chief danger lies in the fact that, in damp weather, the arsenic undergoes decomposition, and forms, in combination with other substances present, arseniuretted hydrogen, which diffuses in the room, and being a deadly poison causes sickness to the inmates. This form of arsenical poisoning is more to te dreaded than that from the particles Amoved by attrition; the latter, however, being also a source of danger to health. : m Mixing Witchcraft and Medicine From the Erie (Perm.)

A,PeachLstreet physician reports a peculiar case of witch charming that recently came under his observation. with a place in which to put the great toe (just as mittens have a piace for the thumb), she goes • out to say "Ohaie," or good morning, to her father and mother.

Not to bo outdone in the matter of A family named Yaber, living a few miles from the city on the Lake road, called him in to attend to their child who was subject to fits through teething. The docturiearned that an aged itinerant quack who has the reputation of being a witch doctor, had called and ins:dted that the little lad could be cured without medicine. The doctor found a small muslin bag suspended with a string around the child's neck. The bag was sewed p and inside of it was a sheet of fooi^ap paper closely bent together. One side was filled with writing in high German. The doctor further learned that the aged doctor had left a long, briar switch, and after hehad tied the bag around the child's neck he told the mother that whenever' the child became restless she should take the switch and vigorously beat the air about the -child's csib to drive off the supposed witches, *hb>x he alleged, were holding a spell over\ the little one. The mother exhibited the switch but said she did not use it. He took off the bag, translated the manuscript and gave the result of his discovery to> the parents. The writing was a lengthy prayer to the A)mighty to deliver James Yaber, the child, from all his enemies, who see but cannot be seen: "That they cannot come near me nor hurt me," body or soul.

There was consumed or lost in one way or another during each day of the year 1884, an average of 66,000 barrels of petroleum. Here is the basis for some entertaining mathematical work the aim in view being to determine how long the oil supply of this country is likely to last. If 25,000,000 barrels are consumed each yearj there must be a hole of considerable siae left in the earth's interior, and as the oil yielding region is not, comparatively speaking, very extensive, this hole must ultimately represent more than a minor fraction of what was once the seemingly inex haustible source of oil supply. If, twenty years from now, the oil wells fail, their loss will not be the bldw it once would have been. Electricity has made oil a convenience, not a necessity, and, long before the wells run dry. in genuity will probably have placed tbe new lightest the command of the poor and issolated, as well as the rich and the crowded. *v «!-%•«? m ^3Q i.V -> -N J M - , 1 - yvi»ato^.;y • "'•"' \ • >ijajjM'•*pr^Beaaa^aw"w^wajBaai eaaaaaa •sal mm mmmm my .h "i •*< rt ^M % ; ' • • • $ • ' • < ' ' * r-m- 4'- ft •K, / • : , # .

Hackney, Michigan, Ttrtlrkday, March 12,188V The President seems to have some decided convictions upoa Mormon polygamy. It is to be hoped be *ill find effective means for removing the offensive cancer-" - — By a bill recently passed by the Da* kota legislature, South Dakota is tree to adopt a state constitution and apply to congress tor admission to the sisterhood of states. This territory has the wealth and population, and is justly entitled to ft star in the old flag. Amid the wreck of his fortune and the ashes of his hopes the renowned hero ot the war endures with calm fortitude the pbysicial and mental pains of the last ordeal. All history does not present a spectacle more touching than the closing scene in the life of General Grant. It seems that relief from his keen suffering must speedily come. But a few days and the great spirit of him whom a Nation loves and the world honors will have passed from earth. * All parties seem to be very well satisfied with the following cabinet officers appointed by President Cleveland: Secretary of 8tate—Thos. F. Bayard, ot Dele ware; Secretary of the Treasury- r-Daniel Manning, of-New York; •Secretary of War-rWm, C. Eudicott, >6f Masachusetts; Secretary of the In- 7 terior—L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi; Secretary of the Navy—Wm. C. Whitney, of-New York; Postraaster-Gener^ al—Wm. F. Yilas, of Wisconsin ;./Attorney- General-T-A. H. Garland, of Arkansas. / ^ T h e inaugural address of President ^levelaud was not too long, and therefore it^as been /generally read. His recommendations and suggestions as to anything new in the way of legislation are few. They relate to matt e r s ^ paramount interest. In this respectTie followed the example of a m a j o r i t y - ^ — W a s h [higher. -Fully a quarter of a million ington, in his first in.iugural, dwelt chiefly on the reserved rights and liberties of the States. He delivered no address at his second inauguration. John Adams urged his countrymen to be vigilant against interference ^with "free, fair, virtuous and independent elections.". In his first in-, augural address Jefferson advised the most watchful frugality in publn expenditures and jealous care of popular elections. His second inaugural was empty of suggestions. Madison advocated a strong navy and an efficient militia. His second address was retrospective. MOD roe ^ spoke vigorously in support of a protective tariff. John Quiiicy~ Adam * asked Congress to continue the c instruction of national roads as "the most important and beneficent duty or*the Federal Government.0 Jackson declared that he had been called upon by the people to reform the Govern and of oratory. Johnson referred only to the tragic event which had made him President. Graut jaid m his first address, that he could have no policy to enforce against the will of the people and that "the best way to deal with a bad law was to rigidly enforce it." In his second inaugural he favored civil service reform- JSayesadvocatedlocal self government in the South and pledged hlriself to a thorough reform of the civil service. Girfield reviewed the first century of American history, denounced the shotgun policy, suggested that thel > was danger in the continued coinage of the silver dollar, advocated American control of inter-oceanic canals and a system of fixed but limited tenure of office for subordinates. Arthur spoke of the o* rwbelniing calamity that had befallen the Nation and did not enter upon a discussion of public questions. Cleveland indulged for the moPt in well-bounding, convenient an> harmless generalities. OUR WASHINGTON LETTEB. From our Correspondent. / March 7, 1885. The unanimous verdict oj the inauguration is that it was the most brilliant, enjoyable and generally successful occasion oi the kind in the history of the government. More people were here, and tjrey enjoyed themselves better than ever before. The festivities proceeded witnout a hitch or disappointment from beginning to end. But the chief sight was not what the people saw, but the people themselves. Never was there such e notable gathering on the continent. And in mere numbers, the crowds excelled anything known outside of a tew exceptional gatherings, such as the Philadelphia centennial. The multitude which faced President Cleveland to hearjnsjnews and be witnesses to his covenant with the nation was perhaps the largest body of citizens ever collected in one spot. Experts differ widely as to the number, but many judges of crowds estimated it'as high as one hundred thousand, or even Bneklen's titea Salve.

Van Buren lauded the was of enormous length and was de voted to the numerous abuses that had grown up under a loose administration of affairs. Tyler intimated that office-seekers could have what they wanted, Polk traveled over a good deal of ground, deprecating the slavery agitation, warning the people against the vice of reputation, opposing the government deposit banks and favoring a tariff for revenue. Taylor said nothing of importance. Fillmore delivered no address. Pierce reaffirmed the Monroe doctrine and advocated the acquisition of Cuba. Buchanan spoke of the mischievous agitation of the slavery question, referred to the corrupting effects of a too redundant reveneu, and advised Congress to revise the tariff. Lincoln's inaugural address dealt wholly with the great questions of slavery and the civil war. They were the perfection of\ reason peo pieman ked the procession, and at night tbVsarae vast crowd choked the broad acres W the White Lot to see the fireworks. s^he ball was a popular, as well as arfos£ic triumph, here again the people crbwded by thousands in an unprecedented jam. The members of President Cleveland's cabinet have been known tor some days, save as a slight uncertainty clouded one or two names, and as now published the list occasions, therefore little surprise. The chosen names have been accepted by the country as quite satisfactory, except that the west is disposed to think in has received too little purely, geographical consideration. ^There u objootion, too, in other sources to the prominence given to New York. The fitness ot Senators Bayard and Garlaud for their respective desks is universally acknowledged; Senator Lamar has no special adaptation— b his allotted department work but his presence at the Presimen less Known in Washington Mr. Manning comes with a high reputation for executive ability as well as for good judgement as a politician. Mr. Vilas is known rather as an orator than a statesman, but will "Constitution:- ^farrttton^ adAwsa^Aufoifr, makft a n PffiriPnft Pnstmflaar General. Mr. Whitney has shown*' great energy and tact as a lawyer and politician, and will bring these qualities to bear in his new duties at the head of the Navy department. Judge Endicott, of Massachusetts, stands well in his profession and in the party. He will no doubt prove a worthy successor to Secretary Lincoln. The cabinet as a jvhole, is one designed for hard work, and well equipped for its duties. One of the bright spots on the recoid of the Forty-eighth Congress was the passage at the last moment of the bill putting Grant on the retired list with the rank and pay of a general. The democrats are to be praised for sinking their party spirit and their disappointment at the failure of the Porter bill in order to recognize the claims of Gen. Grant to the homage of the country. It is painful to think that Grant may not be able to long enjoy the benefits of yesterday's act, but its spirit will be none the less appreciated.

The latgest poition ot these are used for agricultural and heavy draft purposes and such horses bring from $175 to "$200 each. It would be impossible to breed them if it were not for the importations of Percheron horses. 500 stallions are now annually imported from France to the United States. The immense "wealth they are adding to the natiori will be better understood when it is known that the first-cross of a Percheron stallion with a native mare doubles the gelling value of the colt when mature. "Large numbers of Percheron stallions are exnorted from the United States by Canadian breeders to renew the old French blood so highlv prized and also to srive quality, style and action to the large English dial't and Clydesdale stock which has been bred there so long.

The reservation lies in parts of Hands, Hyde and Snlby counties, reaching as far north as one er two stations on the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, Land-seekers have been assembling along this line of road for some days, anticipating the opening of the reservation and intending to move on it at the first opportunity, and for this purpotehad lumber lying all along the line in wagons with other building material, only awaiting the announcement of the President's crder. On Saturday night they got notice that the land was opened, • when a hundred men of all ages rushed over the imaginary boundary line, set up ''shacks" to hold their claims and continued building all day on Sunday, makSg a scene of the greatest confusion and excite ment. By Sunday night the Indians heard of the white trepsaaers and went up to drive them off, for the proclamation does net take effect till May. The latter did not dare to resist, and retired as fast aa their teams and \egn oonld carry them. The Indians, then burned all the "shacks" left by the whites, to the.number of two hundred or more, and destroyed everything else. The total value of property destroyed is estimated at $26,000. The whites only retired over the line, sullenly awating an opportunity to enter and possess thcae thousands of fertile acres. An examination of the surrey in General Fessenden's office shows that the reservation will have to be re-surveyed, as the Indians have (ffaoed all eigne .of the survey made twenty years ago. The original plans and plats of that survey are in the Interior De- Sr tan ent at Washington, but are valueless r the reason just given. It will be useless lor settlers to attempt to occupy these lands while the Indians are there, for they are determined not to go until officially removed.

N £ W s . BUTLER IN TROUBLE. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler is in serious trouble. There have tor years been occabiotal rumors to the effect that there were irregularities in his accounts a* President and Treasurer of,the Board of Managers of the Soldiers' Honei an office which he held for a long time previous to 1881. The House Ml itary Committee has tbia winter been making a careful investigation of Gen. Butler's accounts. These accounts have been examined and gone over repeatedly by expert accountants. The result is the discovery of the startling fact that Gen. Butler is short in his aooounts with the government to the amount ot over $200,000;—tt-apptirsthiror the money reoeived by Gen. riutler in 1872, there u e $21,868 unaccounted lor. It also appears that for years preceding 1876, there is a deficit of $211,038 in account of the purchase and sale or United States bonds. HIS OATS ARE NUMBERED.

'.I am in no wise responsible for the rose- Prof. Grimmer in a pamphlet published in 1879 predicted seven years of disaster and famine, beginning with 1880 and ending with 1887, during which the world will be a hell of strife and carnage. He saidj "From 1880.to 1887 will be one universal carnival of death. Asia will be depopulated, Europe nearly so. America will lose fifteen million of her people. Besides a plague we are to have storms aDd tidal waves, mountains are to toes their heads through the choicest valleys, navigators will be lost by the thousands owing to the capricious deflearures of the magnetic needle, and islands will appear and disappear in the ocean. All the, beasts, birds, and fishes will be diseased, famine and civil strife will .destroy most of the human beings left alive by plague, and finally 'two years of fire'—1885 to 1887—will rage with fury in every part of the globe.'

There were no manufactured stockings in the days of Lady Macbeth. A strip of cloth or woolen stuff was wrapped around the feet and up to the knees, and held in place by strings or straps, laced like our shoe strings. Aot ors of a generation ago always wi such leggins when personating ftfeftq both. A remnant of these old improvised stockings may be observed upon the feet of newly-arrived Chinamen. The first manufactured stockings of the ancienta were of coarse material and clumsy fabrication. The first silk stockings known in England were knitted uy a lady of the oourt of Queen Elizabeth for her Majesty, who was so delighted with their softness and flel ibility that she kept the donor knitting silk stockings as long as the august legs needed worldly eovering.

The patrons of the school, besides many from neighboring schools, were in attendance and were well pleased with the orderly manner in wnich the school was conducted, the afternoon exercises closed with declamations from the pupils, and wc t they will have to inquire within. But J j u di8 tr ic t N 0 . from, J&e/-appearance of some of his customers we are led to believe that he, keeps the "genuine stuff." Then comes the last business place on this side of Main St., Joseph Sykes' harness shop. Crossing to the opposite side of the street you find the carriage manufactory of Sykes & Son. They have some good buildings and run out some ol the best vehicles that travel our roads. Now jog south on Marion street a short distance and you come to the shoe shop of the every jolly Perry Blunt. He always appears to have plenty of work. Returning to Main St., and traveling east you stop at the waverooms of Geo. Reason, wherein he keeps cutters, sieighs, buggies, wagons, etc., and sells many, while up- Stairs is found a very nice little skating rink with Chas. F . LaRue as proprietor. Here is where you should find yourself Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. Master Fred Barrett will be there. W. B. Hoff, the boot and shoe man, occupies the lower story of the next building. He ha« just received a large stock ot this line of goods, and Will is bound to give you ar goud fit and go light on your pocketbook every time. / ' The DISPATCH sign swings from the second story of iliis building and you ntjed never fetfr to-eftter-4t-uaa think thev were well rendered indeed.

It may occur in any part of he bodyv but it is especia^y apt to ooui: in the lower extremities, and, in its udder forms, it is limited to a single nuside. Pain is severe, and the con- - acted muscles are hard and exquisitely .under. In a few minutes the spasm f d pain cease, leaving a local sensation 'i fatigue and soreness. When cramp j . oots only one extremity, no_»wimmer J v bother" endowed with average presume of mind, need drown; but when ranip seizes the whole of the voluntary iiust/ular system, as it probably does in i o^urst cases, nothing, in the absence f prompt and efficient extraneous ,\ssstance, can save the individual fron: I, owning. Although the intimate nature of muscular cramps, and the >recise mode in which they are e.iLabisiied, are still unknown, experience ias furnished us with sufficient data on the subject to enable us to recognize :lie chief conditions of their causation. These conditions are—a peculiar individual susceptibility or idiosyncrasy, k of.cold applied to tUo general surface of the body, prolonged -muscular exertion, especially in the directiou of the extension of the extremities. I he. e can be no doubt about a liability to muscular cramp being an individual peculiarity. The disorder is especially upt to arise in persons of irritable temperament. ^ W hil'e cramp-has been met with in al? aaes., sexes^temperaments and climates, it has Jbelen observed that it occurs far A ffi*?oWs¥.'

Shall We Have a State Sncampmentl Lansing correspondent Detroit Free Press. ine queition of holiiug an encampment of state uoope next summer is not fully settled. It probably will' be held as formerly, but before that is determined upon three questions will have to be settled. The first is, shall the new master ot troops for the Fourth Regiment be legalized; the second, •hall the oompanies composing it be equipped; the third, shall the oloth in the quartermaster's stores be sold snd the money applied to the military fund. It appears that the military board has considered these questions and have advised the Commanderin- Cnief that the cloth should be sold and the money paid into the treasury; sccand, that unices tae legislature confirms the mastering oi the oor new companies held to have been illegally musts ed last Deoembar, they be musiered out of the service, and third, that unless this be done or provisions made by the legialamre by an appropriation to meet the deficiency in resouroes, the board advises the Commander-in-Chief that there will not be enough of the funds to meet the expeasea of the encampment. It appears that the military fund received for-the^preeent year was a trifle less than $65,000. Out of that the lata administration had expended and incurred an indebtedness oi nearly $10 000, leaving the amount avail* able nearly $52,000. Tne ex penes* of the encampment of 1884 were nearly $75,000 and in 1888 nearly $68,003. The estimate for the Present year, excluding the new regiment, is about $67,000. On this statement one member of the boardr advised the Commander-in-Chief that it is best to maintain the troops already equipped and thai they may have the benefits ol an encampment the new companies should not be equipped inasmuoh as to tqaip tbeai lor the beta won id be to incur aeote, which ic appears the board is not authorized to incur, and to hold an encampment at Island Like to btgiD Jdly 30 aud oontiuue lor the usual time. This recommendation was hot fully approved by the entire board. Another member of the board finds that^ Quar.ermuter Gene/al Hart's estimate for ihe encampment alone will be nearly $36,000 and for other expense* $20,010. Tue expenses of the four new oompanies will be $9,500, making in ail 165,000, of whioh rents, eta , are not to be paid until next January, leaving af the net amount to be provided for the current year $60,100. As ther* is upwards o( $51,000 on hand aoThmttabie the aotuat/dtficieucyis $9,000. This member of the board thinks that the muster of the Grand R*pids Artillery Comany was unauthorised, but not striotly legal, and that the muster of the Fourth Eegiment was/illegal. The Montgomery Guards were accepted into the state service and also have the same claims. It is further reportel to the governor that Quartermaster General Shakespeare u«e1 the money /obtained 'from the United States through Friend Palmer's agency to buy cloth; buckram, etc, ef Israel <fc Co, of Kalamasoo, to the amount of $21,000. This purchase and the neces»ity for it Is criticised, and under the terms of the Senate resolution, will be investigated. Persons and papers will be sent for, Tne cloth is stored ia the basement of the oapitol. If the sale is authorized by the Legislature and the proceeds In money paid into the treasury to the credit of the military land, ^here will bean abundance lor the encamp* meat. In any event the encampment will probably be neld, but the four new companies may noi be equipped so as to participate In it this year.

The Republican state convention met in Lansing, Wednesday, Maroh 11. Chairman Van Zile called the convention to order, and prayer was offered by Rev. E, H. E. Jameson, of the Lansing Baptist church. Secretary Smith read the call jer the convention. Chairman^/ Van Zile presented as temporary chairman Hon. John K. Boies ot Hudten. Mr. Boies was received with applause. He thanked the convention tor the honor conferred upon hlu. The institutions for which nominations are to bu made, he said, are known and recognized wherever the English language ii spokeu. The nominations for the supreme court and the ttate university at slated times falls upon the people, from whioh all power Bhouid come. The choice should be made wieely. When the rockets were shooting snd the fires burning Jatt fall and political opponents were shouting themselves hoarse it was said that the Republican party was dead, but it foevidtnt they were falte prophets aud there is life and vitality in the old party yet. The victor/ waa only by a scratch and the D em octAla had the advantage to t>tart with of 152 votes of the solid South, secured by fraud and violence. Had the party stool solid to the front as in former campaigns Jame* G. rilaine would have been triumphantly elided. The speaker eulogized Grant as the grand old hero, statesman and soldier, ot the party. "He is now lying torn by disease and bravely awaiting his end. Only until the dying days ot congress was he restored to the honor and emoluments of the military position whioh he so ably filled. [Tremendous applause.] The Republican party stands to-day supported by 500,000 majority of the loyal men of the states who siood tor their oountry 'a good in time of war." He congratulated the party In the redemption of the state from the fusion control and the party for standing up to its pledge whioh it made concerning eubmissiou of the prohibition amendment. The party has done its duty and it the movement fails the fault will remain with the opposition to it, whioh has so strenuously exerted ltselt. This grand Republican party, which took this oountry with $1,000,000,000 of debt, turns it over with a f uU treasury, a credit unsurpassed and ourrenoy that is good wherever the American flag floats. By fraud and violence the reckless elements whioh compose the Demooratio party have again acquired the power in this oountry, but the mission ot the Republican party is notanded, for it will lie sare to be called upon to secure the government from the disaster whioh will surety follow. It the party be true to itself, be true to right and to justice, and to the enlightened sentiment of the nation, by the blessing of God it will again go forward to viotory in the future as in the past.

That the record of the Republican party is a source of satisfaction and pride to its everv member; that a wise and faithluladministration ot law is essential to the prosperity and welfare of the state; to accomplish tiiia *e must have high-minded, pure and learned judges; the neoesiity therefor in the supreme oourt of last resort, to whioh all other courts in the state, the bar and the people look for these principles whioh are to be their daily guides, is absolutely essential; this court ia one ot the fountains of our law, and too great care cannot be exercised in maintaining it; the law is not an exact science whioh can with mathematical oertainty be applied to new, varied and 00m plicated oases as they arise; it is gathered from a wilderness of single cases, and to cull therefrom the principles applicable to, and apply them in a given shape of facts so that tne case presented thereby may be correctly decided and a wise and sate precedent established, requires not only vast legal learning and good oommon sense, but a ripe and experienced judgment. For over 20 years Thomas M. Coofey has been one of tne justices or the supreme oourt of this state. During the time he has been on the bench the decisions of but tew courts of last resort, if any, have stood higher with the benoh and bar of this great country than have those ot the supreme oourt of the state of Michigan. During the same period ChiefTustioe Oooley has reached the highest ranks as a jurist distinguished for the strength, clearness and aoouracyot his opinions; and the purity of the Judicial ermine worm by him has remained unsutted, while as an author his works are quoted and aooepted aa authority in the ooarta and legislative halls or Europe and America.

She sufiers from the variations of, a husband's spirits, and she is1* highly favored woman if his temper, too, do not suffer; and my Agnes1 tender yet high spirit, was I knew, ill-fitted for such trials. Arthur was an intelligent young man of high character and most honorable in all bis dealings. It was, however, his misfortune to have for a mother a weak and irritable woman, whom prosperity had not improved. She was surrounded with blessings, but was constantly complaining; and as her education had not strengthened her mind, nor a watchful self-denial improved her heart, she was likely to impress on her son's mind a very low opinion of all women. I, my dear Grace, was honored by my husband with his entire confidence, and I tried to return his trust by being indeed a helpmate for him. If a woman does not know the state of her husoand's affairs, she is defrauded of what is justly her due—the privilege of advising with him and uniting with him in his efforts Lo do justly to all men. About a year after Agnes' marriage the crisis occurred in the commercial world which laid many lofty houses low. I often surprised Agnes in tears, but she said nothing to me; and I have always made it a principle not to enquire into family secrets. I have seen so much evil from the well-meaning, but ill-judged reluctance whioh many a mother feels to give up her daughter's husband, in good faith and sincerity, the secrets of that daughter's heart. But one / day my Agnes came to my house and rushed up stairs to my bed- 1 followed her and secured the does both her and himself irreparable | wrong."

FARM AND GARDEN, It is an old tale, the experience of age striving in vain to temper the enthusiasm of youth.

"It is not selfish grief that thus affects me," said my beloved monitor.

From her infancy I had watched over Agnes with a moro tearful tenderness than any other of my children. Here was character strangely made up of quick and joyous impulse and deep, unsuspected feeling. She seemed altogether without taat cowardbe so often attributed to woman as a reproach, but which, in a world of dangers, often serves heraa well as the cautiousness of wisdom. Meanness and cunning she scorned, and the petty article, so common in both sexes, was never found in her. Her spirits were high and untamable— sometimes to wildness, but if unkindly or harshly rebuked, none so utterly subdued. Can you wonder, then, that I watched over her as if she were, some precious vessel sent out on a sea full of rosks, quicksands, and whirlpools? I used often to pray that, be her lot In life what k maybe, she might ever reel the balm of loving looks and kind words,*' ;..<-**And what was her lot in life, dear grandmamma, and was she happy P Do tell me all about her.

Yes, my boy, marriage is a good thing. And it is well for men and women to marry and be given in marriage, provided they are actuated by that highest and noolest of sentiments —love. It is a beautiful thing for two young, loving and trusting couls to unite their hopes and fears, their hearts and lives, ana sail boldly out on the rough sea of the unknown, arm in arm, facing poverty and all things else for each others sake, determined to build up for themselves a home gilded with the bright rays of connubial bliss. But, my boy, be careful. Be sure that yon know what you are doing before you go ahead. Be sure of your moorings before you tie your craft. Know your girl before you prepare to take her into the family firm. Keep a sharp lookout and don't get stuck. Go slow and feel your way till all is well, then dive in. N j As you are young and inexperienced, perhaps a few gentle hints from one who is older and has observed a few things in life, may not be out of place. In the first place you are poor, therefore don't be in a hurry to get a wife. With a wife comes family, and with a family comes A other dares, such as sickness, poverty, and high rents. There are too many soft-headed youths in the land now who want a wife before they get anything else, and who, when they marry, have to stand the minister off for his fee. No young man can afford to marry when, his sole possessions of worldly goods consists of only a change of socks and a five-cent collar button. If he does, the day will come when he will see the folly of his way, and they will come pretty soon and pretty often, marry and~i»ke your wife home to live with your folks, and never marry and go to live with your wife's people. If you can live long enough you will experience enough sorro * without this. Relatives are a good thing, but the less thoy see you the more they will like you. They will think more of you at a distance. This is one of the instances wherein distance lends enchantment to the view. Never live withi your relatives unless jou want a foretase of hell' on earth. Better live onbye ad and water—ysa» even pnt up at a Chicago boardinghouse and wrestle with tne inevitable hash and the inevitable bedbugs. enough of wealth to start a family on, and have made up your mind to marry, then make your arrangements with care and select jour future wife the same way. Don't allow your heart to run out after a beautiful face when there is no-soul behind it. Don't marry for wealth and don't marry for beauty, but marry for love every time. Don't marry a human doll who sits in the front parlor and bangs the piano while her mother bangs the stove, the poLs and the cats in the kitchen. Such a-girl would no doubt be a nice, dainty, pretty little parlor ornament, but not what you noed. While you are not able to own more- than a one*room house, size, 12x14, with a 4x6 dry goods box attachment, you will find that parlor ornaments are not the things you will most suflor for.—What you wiH~need is a wife who knows how to help you along, and *ho can make a five cent soupbone lengthen itself out into a week s provisions. You want a real sensible, loving, careful little woman, who will see that your buttons are all sewed on and that the holes in your socks are properly darned. You don't need a wife who is bent on keeping up all the fashions, and who will want you to mortgage a house for a*piano, while you go about with one suspender fastened on with a nail, and the rear end of your pants resembling the ragged edge o( despair. You don't|need a wife who cares only to gain the notice and applause of other men, while her husband hts no stronger proof of her affection than Each year the faithful farmer Shakes hi* head with a sigh, And tells of ruined prospects, Of bleselngs passing by.

Shepards, like poets, are born, not made. You may find a dozen men who can be trusted to take care of horses, cows, or pigs, to one who is fit to be entrusted with the management of sheep. Why, we do not know. All the great sheep-herders of the world have given much of their own time and labor to the care and supervision of their flocks. We have not space here to go into details, and in fact it is not necessary, as these vary greatly, according to circumstance. Much must be left to tbe common sense and experience of the shepherd. If any of our readers are going to keep sheep, and have had little experience, we would advise them to consult some good farmer in the neighborhood, and in addition to this, the following hints may be useful: Sheep must have dry quarters. Nothing is so injuries as damp, ill-ventilated cellars, barns, or sheds. , Do not ihink you can make such places warm and dry and comfortable ~bythe liberal use of straw for bedding. This only makes the matter worse.

We onee-kn valuable flock of South-downs that ha3 entirely disappeared. Goitre destroyed the lambs. Wo knew another large flock of Long wool sheep that suffered severely in the same way. In the former case, the sheep were shut up in a small shed yard. The rain from the roof of the shed ran into the yard. Straw was thrown in from time to timerand the poor sheep were compelled either to stay in the shed or stand on this mass of wet straw, In the other case tbe sheep had damp sheds and cellars to sleep in. but as they had the run of a large yard, the results were not so disastrous. Many lambs died of goitre and inf&ntilfl pnnnmnni*, hnt »a [ pleasing results and remunerate us for our labor. In looking over the management of the celery crop in and about Kalamazoo, I find that through mistaken notions, coupled with an unfavorable season, many failed to see any profit in — their efforts. Now if we wish to get back the laurels we have won in tne pjast and maintain a reputation as the best of celery growers, we must give close attention to all thoce things which tend to make celery desirable for the market and table. The books tell us to get down and press the soil around the plant by hand to avoid getting dirt into the heart of the plant Injour soil this advice is unnecessary. We can stand up and draw out the soft, spongy and accommodatng soil with a hoe. in choosing hens for breeders, says the American Poultry Journal, look first for good layers, fair size, vigorous constitution, color even and pure, symmetrical in form, and the most perfect in general characteristics, and you are pretty rare, as a rule, to obtain by this combination a superior progeny. Disease among fowls Is almost always the result of mismanagement, no mat* ter how much science may be mixed in as preventive or cures. Cleanliness is of the first importance; next, an abundance of good food always accessible and in variety; also fresh, clear water, summer and winter, where the fowls can get it when desired. It is not advisable to feed uncooked sour apples to pigs that are fattening on corn. The acid in the fruit injuries their teeth, makes the pig's mouth sore and prevents regular teeding. The unripe corn, if fed in excess, often has the same effect, as it sours on the stomach and thus injuries digestion. Apples may be fed in small" quantities with meat, and if they are cooked together, no better fattening could be desired. It is more than probable that the wool clip of 1885 will be the world over, considerably below that of 1884. This will especially be the case in the United States, whore thousands of sheep are being slaughtered on account of the low price of wcol, and in Australia, where 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 are said to have died from the effects of the drought. It is a good time to improve your flocks - not to sacrifice it Hold on to the sheep, remarks the American Agriculturist. The depressingtendency of the wool market is apT to infljteMe_many sheep-raisers—to get—- rid of their flocks at any price and go - out of the business. We'believe those who do this will miss it. Every business h&s its low tide, but it will-surely rise again, and they who hold on- to their sheep will be gainers in the end. The farmer or stock-raisers should not be fickle soon as- dry quarters were provided, the animals graduallv improved in health. H I D U on Celery Culture. There is more celery raised around Kalamazoo than any other locality in Michigan, probably: and the following communication to the Telegraph of that city may be of interest to those who may be raising it (or attempting to) hereabouts. The writer says: A great deal has been said and written about the culture of celery in and about Kalamazoo, so that there does not seem to be much room left to say Farm Notes. Lime is a good purifier for the poultry house. Whitewash spring and fall. It is not a hard matter to keep a hen house free from lice, but it is rarely that it is so kept.

Mules are cheaper than they have been for many years. It is estimated that there is only one Jersey to 300 farmers the country over. These are hot fixed figures, as Jersey cattle are rapidly increasing. Fish culture is becoming so important that italmost makes a connection with farming operations, the same as poultry keeping and bee culture.

But don't be in a great rush about it. It is something that don't have to be done at once,- Keep your weather eye open for--breakers. Remember that beauty bought at any urug store, and that an accomplished piano player is not near us much of a luxury to a poor man as a good bread maker, and that a fair face pales before that of the homely little woman who will see that nails do not take the place of buttons on your clothing, and who will give you a change of socks before the coroner sit? on your feet m The following receipe purporting to be a sure preventive of bloody marrain appeared in a recent number of the Texas Farm and Ranch: One teaspoonful of sulphur, one teaspoonful prepared charcoal, one-quarter teaspoonful prepared madder and two teaspoonfuls saltpetre, mixed.

Those keeping large flocks of poultry will find an advantage in separating the cocks from the-hefis and keeping anything more. Yet, as the time draws near for another season's campaign a few remarks from one of the first growers may not come am&s, and an experience of eight years may be of some good to some one.

TThhiiss being tbe case, the best way is to spread the manure all 07er the ground and plow or spade under. Another great mistake we have been guilty of is too ;close planting. The rows 3hould be five or six feet apart and the fplants five or six inches in the row; this gives plenty of room for the plants to forage around for the manure that has been spread out and well mixed up with the earth. And another thing. At this distance the sun can do his perfect work, which is an important faotor in the production of this beautiful and healthful plant. I would say to those bound.to stick by the plan of manuring in the row, spread the manure a foot or eighteen inches and fork or spade under so that it may be *ell mixed with the earth. It is the height of folly to undertake, as a general thing, to raise threo crops from one piece of ground the same season. Two is as much as should be tried where everything is favorable.

The prayer set forth the necessity of enlarging the present district of our Union School, which now includes but one mile square. The new provision would enlarge the district to double its size. The oppo:- >ition seems to come up very similar to the one met with when the present line "f the district was decided upon and in a sense revives that antagonist spirit which still lingers in minds of the dis atisfied.

C Lannon, of Cohoctah, cut hi hand severely while hewing in the woods last week. Dr. Austin found it necessary to amputate one of his fingers. Henry Handy had his left leg broken by a tailing lirah while chopping in the woods on Friday afternoon. Dr. Austin was called and reduced the fracture. Mr. Charles Persons and Miss Svsan M. Davis were married last Thursday evening at the residence of the bride's parents, two miles south of this place, the Rev. J. Kilpatrick officiating. At the charter election, which took place on Monday, there were three tickets in the field, union, democrat and republican. The republican ticket was born rather quietly and was dubbed the "moonlight ticket" As is usual in Handy the woods were all full of democrats and if thev all had been registered they probably would have been voting yet and the majority would have been innumerable. It could hardly be called a test of strength between the two parties as the union ticket drew a few votes and the republican ticket was not made in a regularly called caucus, yet it conclusively shows that tha democratic majority is about the^aa'me according to the liumbj&r^of voters in the village asJJUrsm the township. The foHpjvrng is the tiGket and its pluraliy, the total vote being 234: Presldent-F. 11. Starker ..109 Clerk-A. W. Knapp....'. «Jt Treasurer—F. G. Paliuerton 29N Assessor—B. F.

The proceedings/were well planned, the couple-not having heard a whisper of the plot. A nice new extension table \yrts brought in which had its strength well proven by the amount of eatables which were laid upon ic quickly by the ladies of the party, to, which all did ample justice after their long, cold vide through the deep snow, and some of the gentlemen testified that shoveling snow always gave them a good appetite- Agreat^abuiidauce-aiidvariety *vere at hand, arid in due time the tragments were removed from the new table, when it was again laid— not with dinner—but with numerous other presents which were then presented to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn in behalf of the company by Mr. Wm. Wood, of North Lake, with some very appropriate remarks and good advice. Of course the presents were thankfully received by Mr. and Mrs. Glenn, who felt that-full heart? failed to express the debt of gratitude they owed their relatives and friends, woo braved the bad roads and cold wind (none of-tb«4n-had come a distance of less than eight miles and some ot them came twenty) that they might make' this day happy and one ever to be remembered by this worthy couple. After remarks from s*Yeral of the guests a number of pieces were sung, the last of which was "Shall We Gather at the iver." The sleighs were' once more brought to the door and all departed for , their several homes with light hearts, feeling that the day had been profitably sjwnt. A GTTKST.

Godey'd Lady's Book. ••Marian, dear, how is the morning, fair or cloudy?" inquired Ethel Ray, turning on the invalid couch, where she lay day as well as night. Marian swept the scant curtain from the narrow window of their poor room. "Dark and cloudy," she replied, the cold dreariness of the new day striking *i chill 16 her sensitiveTTeaviiy burden^ ed heart. A tired, hopeless look swept over her delicate, noble face, leaving a slight droop at the corners of her mouth, a shadow in her eyes. Ethel saw the change of expression,* and for a moment her own face grew less cheerfull and bright. "Never mind; there will be a rift in the clouds by and by," she said, with a renewed hope. "I am glad you have such faith, pet," said. Marian, still looking out on the street, A poor beggar crept feebly along, his rags fluttered in the bitter wind, and in pity for a lot sadder than her own the girl lost some of her discontent She turned from the window - with a brighter expression and put on her hat and cloak to start out on that weary round df music lessons which were their support. * 'I am sorry to leave you all day, Ethel, but it; will be'late before I can get through." "Do not fret about me, Marian, Mrs. O'Malley will come in and give my lunch and a fresh glass of water, and I have this beautiful laco to mend for Miss Constantino, and that magazine you brought me yesterday to read. Ob, I shall be fully occupied until you return." "Well, well, it is comfortable to have so brave and busy a little sister at home. I think of it often when I am out, and it gives me courage," said Marian, bending over the couch with tender, misty eves. The crippled girl clasped the slenderhand caressing her hair and drew it down against her pale cheek. "Am I a help to you, Marianf Oh, that thought maker me happy I I here such a helpless, useless -ereature; sometimes I have feared that 1 was only a burden to you." '•Never think that again, dear one— If it were not for you " She broke off, and stooping, kissed the sweet, pale face resting on thetpillow, but when she would have moved away, Ethel held her a moment longer. "Marian, darling, do not lose pour faith and hope. There will be ciear sunshine after awhile, and all the dark •clouds will vanish." "I will try to think so," she replied, with a smile—a smile that vanished the moment she left her sister's presence, and memory began to bring up one by one the events of the two years just passed. The girls had been left orphans at an early age, but with property sufficient to supply all tbey could ever need, not •only of necessities, bet even luxuries. Their guardian controlled and managed the money, and they lived in. his house under the care of his good hearted maiden sister. Ethel had always been lame and delicate, but Marian wer t oat into the world, seeing and enjoying its beauties and pleasures. Walking swiftly along to give her first music leson, she drew a sharp breath of anguish, as memory too faithfully recalled all the glory and happiness of a three months* tour in Europe, with a party of friends, just -before—the- -downfall of fortune. A the very outset tbey met Mark Keller, handsome; traveled, and to the young men. / H e joined the party, and singled her out as the object of his attentions. The routes they traveled he had been over before, and he could roint out all that was beautiful or interesting. It was a golden season, and the girl's heart surrendered in spite of womanly pride and reluctance. But.she had no cause to feel shame or to believe her love unsought for. One mellow, moonlit night in. an old Italian garden he stretched out his hand to her with sudden, passionate words of love, and so eloquently did he plead for the sweet gift of all her future life, she could not withhold the promise to be his wife. "You shall naver regret it. You shall be happy," he cried with a lover's confidence. "I am happy now," she whispered "flushed and shy, but radiant They wandered long among the flowers, feeling that heaven lay about them; but the next [morning the girl received bad news from home. She only made out clearly that her presence was needed and with but one regretful sigh for the bright dreams she had cherished, she began prepartions for the long journey. Keller earnestly requested the privilege of accompanying her* but she gently refused. He must go on with their friends, and if she needed him she could write for him to come "I shall come on in a few weeks whether you send for me or not. We must finish this interrupted tour together, Marian." She returned home to find their guardian dead and their fortune gone, swept away in some ill-advised speculation. The maiedn lady sought a home with relatives, and Marian Ray found herself among the world's workers, and with a helpless invalid to take care of. Helpless, did I say? Nay, she was the pnly hope and comfort of poor Marian's heart, for her handsome, wealthy lover came not, and the letter she wrote to him explaining their reverses of fortunes remainedunanswered. She tried to think of him with contempt, to hold the love that failed in the hour of her bitterest need as valueless, but she only succeeded in tormenting her own faithful,:' loving heart, which, in spite of pride and reason, clung to that short, sweet romance with a hold death alone could break. All day she walked from house to house" through the bitter cold, while the clouds hung dull and heavy over the city; but when her day's work ended, she started home in the evening, a strip of blue had appeared overhead. She lifted her eyes to it, and saw the clouds part wider and wider, until the little rift had become a broad bright space across the heavens. "Dear Ethel! She would rejoice in that and call it a happy omen, but loan not," she thought, with a tender smile that ended in a sigh. It was dark when she reached home, and hurrying eagerly upstairs she pushed open the door, anxious to be with her sister as soon as possible. They were careful with fuel, with everything; necessity forced them to study economy, and Marian expected to find the room in darkness, only a scanty handful of coals in the grate. She entered to find a glowing fire and the table set with dan ties, while the little teakettle steamed merrily on. the hearth. • • * * * * "But, Marian, he did not. get yoflr letter, and he could not come when he intended, for a hurt received among the Alps kept him a prisoner for several weeks, and then he had to search and had just found us," said Ethel, half raising herself up, Jhe crimson firelight giving even her pale face a roseate tint Marian1 s face changed and her eyes mutely questioned her lover's " It is all true. Could you believe I loved you so lightly?" he murmured; and this time she did not shrink back when ho approached, but gave him thel weloome he craved. " 'Tis the rift in the cloudJ. Hope said it would come, and I had faith to believe, thank God." Etiiel fell softly "back among Climate and Intellect, Charles Dudley Warner la Harper's Magailne. A great deal has been said about the effect ef climate upon intellect and not much of the> effect of intellect upon climate, or, to be more exact, of the power in mental activity to resist or control climatic influences. Borne philosophers have held that there is an occult sympathy between mind and cutter, and that a great accumulation of mind upon one point—that is to say, the directien of a strong current of desire for or against some operation of nature—would be effective. For instance, if all the people in a wide district suffering under drought should unite in a common longing, a sincere menial struggle, leg { ram. that nature would feel the subtle influence through all its being, and rain would oome. Unfortunately the experiment has never been tried, for common consent at any moment never has besn attained—there is always somebody who has hay out But this at least we can say, that it is safer to have the desire of the general mind in the right direction. Now two of the vulgar notions of this latitude are that we need "bracing up," and that snow is a useful product consequently that the more severe cold weather we have and the more snow, the better off we are. And. people go on believing- this to their deaths •every year. As to snow, there is a sentimental notion of its beauty as well as of its utility. And a good deal can be said for it from an artist point of view. But we are not placed in this stem world merely to indulge our seneuousness. We are put here to make the most of our powers, in view of a hereafter: and long life is a duty, besides being, in the Old Testament view, a reward of virtue. It is probably necessary to have snow at the poles in order to keep the poles cool, and insure a proper circulation and change of air round the globe, just as it is necessary to keep the equator so hot that it is as unpleasant to sit on it as on a kitchen stove. Snow, indeed, might do little harm in a land where the sun never shone. But in this region, where the sun does shine, Where half the winter days are clear, the only effect of the presence of snow is to fill the atmosphere with chilling moisture, lung fever, pneumonia, and that sort of thing. j£he pleasanter the weather, the more sunshine we have; with show on the ground, the worse' is our condition. And yet it is in vain to argue this with people. They are wedded to traditional ideas and fnll ofpreludice^andit-seemflimpossible to convince them that snow in this region is harmful. It does no good to demonstrate to them that but for snow we should have a royal winter climate. On a small scale we see occasionally what it might be There were such days in January last. The snow had disappeared, the shone with the light but not tho heat (like an electric lamp) of May, and the air was pure, exhilarating, but not damp and gravelike. It would have been perfect but for the chill that came down from the vast snow-lields of Canada, where cold and snow are worshipped and feted all winter. And yet, after such experience, people, convinced, go back to snow. The ignorance of this scientific age is dicouraging. The other vulgar notion is that a hand-to-hand struggle with extreme cold for months does a person good— braces him up. It must be admitted pillows, her delicate hands clasped *' i t - her her aged Mexican j girl a very king among Cost Her Weight in Gold. Tuscon Star. ' Mrs. Jesus Castro, an lady, now residing at America Flag, in the Santa Catilina Mountains, is perhaps the only woman who, literally speaking, ever co«t her husband her weight in gold. It is said in the early gold digging davs of California she was a resident of Sonora, in which state she was born and grew to womanhood. When about the age of seventeen a paternal uncle, but a few years her seniors, returned with his companions, gold la- -den, from the El Dorado of the West, And became-desperately enamored of her. He sought her hand in marriage and was accepted, but the church refused* beoause*of the near relationship existing between them, to solemnize the marriage. Persuasion being in vain he tried ihe power of gold to win the church his way, and succeeded only by the paymeat of her weight in gold. She at the time weighed 117 pounds, and against her in the scales the glittering dust was shoveled. Her affianced husband still had sufficient of this world's goods to provide a comfortable home, and they were married. They lived happily together, and she bore to her husband eleven children. In the course of years Jto died and she married again. Mr. Castro being her second husband. The above is a fact and not fiction, as living wjtnesses/dan prove, that up to a certain point any struggle or trial is invigorating to the moral and intellectual nature. Bnt what too much indulgence in this leads to. The Esquimau is but little raised above the polar bear and the seal. His whole existence is just an effort to keep alive, to get blubber and skins enough 10 generate and keep infcis body vital heat. He can think of nothing else; he has room for no other mental effort We see the same thing in the diaries and accounts of the polar exploration fanatics. It would be the most painful reading in the world if it were not so monotonous. Each one tells exactly the same stofy^—the story of his physical struggle to keep alive with the thermometer fifty degrees below zero. Soon the mind has no other occupation.than this struggle^ It almost ceases to wora io any other direction. This is interesting to us at first as a study of the capacity of the human organism to resist the unrestrained attack* of nature. The experience of a person who should in this latitude, in winter, retire to an icehouse, with, a natchet and a supply of frozen hash, a whale-oil lamp, and a fur overcoat and body-bag, and sit on the ice in the darkness, and record his feelings, the gradual lowering of the vital powers, the concentration of the niind upon the numbness of his legs would doubtless have a physiological interest But the second experimenter would not interest his readers so much as the first with his narrative. ited heat, in which the stranger came off second best On reaching a bit of rough road both slowed up, and the stranger sung out: "That's a good mare you've got, my friend.

In opening his entertainment in Buffalo the other evening, Mark Twain said:—"I notice many changes since I was a citizen of Buffalo fourteen or fifteen years age. I miss the faces of many of my old friends. They have gone" to the tomb—to the gallows- to the White House. Thus far the rest of us have escaped, but be sure our own turn is coming. Over us, with awful certainty, hangs one or another of these fates. Therefore, that we be secure against errors, the wise among us will prepare for them all. This word of admonition may be sufficient; let us pass to cheerfuller things. "I remember one circumstance of bygone times with great vividness. I arrived here after dark on a February evening in 1870 with my wife and a large company of friends, when I had been a husband -but twenty-four hours, and they put us two in a covered sleigh, and drove us up and down and every which way, through all the back streets in Buffalo, until I got ashamed, and said: 'I asked Mr. lee to get me a cheap boarding house. But I didn't mean that he should stretch economy to the going outside the state to find it' The fact was there was a practical joke to the fore which I didn't know anything about, and all this fooling around was to give it time to mature. My father-in-law, the late Jarvis Langdnn, whom many ef you will remember, had been clandestinely spending a fair fortun3 upon a house and < furniture in Delaware Avenue for us, and had kept his secret so well that 1 was the only person this side of Niagara falls that'hadn't found it out. We reached the house at last about 10 o'clock and were introduced to a Mrs. Johnson, the ostensible landlady. I took a glance around and then my opinion of Mr. Slee's judgment aaa provider of cheap boarding houses for men who had to work for their living dropped to zero. I told Mrs. Johnson there had been an unfortunate mistake. Mr. Slee had evidently supposed I had money, whereas I only had talent and so, by her leave we would, abide with her a week, and then she could keep my trunk and we would hunt another place. Then the battalion of ambushed friends and relatives burst in on us, out of closets'and from behind curtains; the property was delivered" over to us and the joke revealed, accompanied with much hilarity. Such jokes as these are all too scarce in a person's life. That was a really admirable joke, for that house was so completely equipped in every detail—even to house servants and coachman—that there was nothing to do but just sit down and live in it. Well, the house isn't ours, now,/but we've got the coachman yet. All these fifteen years he has been a living and constant reminder of that pleasant jest He was ft spruce young stripling then, with bis future all before/ him. He showed himself worthy of high good fortune and it has fallen/richly to his lot beyond his most distempered dreams; he's got a wife and nine children now. I would hot discriminate.

Save to hold the eackage out of the reach of the plead-. \g little hands, the mean man paid not the slightest attention to the baby, but kept on eating.

While he was gone the child continued to cry and reach after the ban- Suet, and the mother took the popcorn own and gave some to the little one. While this was going on the mean man came back. FuriousP You never saw anything like it He snatched the popcorn away from the child and poured torrents of abuse upon bis wife for daring to touch his popcorn; Then he put it back into the rack and at intervals got up and ate some of it until it was all gone. Now in a case of this kind—and the above is a truthful narrative of an actual occurrence—is not lynch law justifiableP Is not that kind of man more valuable and useful as a fertilizer than anything else? Isn't he a curse to society as long as he lives? And might he hot prove a blessing to the medical student and barren land when he dies P Then why not kill him and make a blessing of him? The world has no use for a mean man.

The big society people are not all the big millionaires. In fact, the princes of finance do not enter society at all, and their representation in the social circle is feeble-at best. The very rich families keep in the background in fact, if indeedthey do not gradually gravitate into retirement.

He came' on the car with his wares, and this mean man who was traveling with his wife, little child of perhape-tteeo years, and bis father-inlaw, asked the price of popcorn. "Five cents a package."

Pinckney, Michigan, Thursday, March tf, 1885. THE ENCAMPMENT. Lanstnsr, Mich., March 20f—The special house committee investigating the quarter-master general's department spent yesterday in the/department offices examining vouchers and items of expenses. Chairman Campbell has been indefatigable in his search, and furnishes the figpres here given. The livery bill for the encampment of 1883 contains the /following items: Two horses for etafl, four days I $12» Two saddle horses, 10 days u 50 Morse and carriage for quartermaster general, 13 days 1 4ft One horse for governor, ti days...J. 90 One man tor care of horse, lOdgyaat $1.50 'perday Total I • * » This whole item of exnfense during 'the encampment of 1882 was $80. ' (Jen. Nathan Church wasjthen quartermaster general. The "drug" bill for the encampment of 1883 is a corker. It is estimated there were medicines enough purchased to last the number of men in camp for a year. It is barely possible the "drug" bill was bluft, for what is shown by the vouchers to have called for one-third of the whole expense was whisky. The "drug" expense amounts to $390.14. Of this amount there was expended for whis- . ky, brandy, sherry and port wine $110.- 25; champagne is not mentioned. For the encampment of 1884 the drug expenditures were $227.70. General _:Clmr_c_hls expense in this _department in/1882 was $12.15. Not only was the drinking of the highest order, but the mess tent furnished foundation for military gout. At the encampment of 1884 eight persons and their invited guests ate the -value of $624.45. Old soldier hard tack was not on the tinted bill of tarn, but the vouchers show payments for Dehesia raisins, California pears, almonds, Brazil nuts, melons, nutmegs. and all kinds of fancy prepared meats. The water was cheap, but the ice which, at last year's encampment, kept it cool was very dear. Gen. Sbakespear did not forget his friends and neighbors in either the dry goods or the ice business. Accordingly February 9,1884, he made a contract with Fred N. Root, ot Kalamazoo, to superintend the building of an ice-house at Island Lake and filling the same with ice. No price was agreed upon for the work either by the day or job, except that Root yvas to get $2 per ton for filling the ice house. The fiist item chargediand allowed was for two days' time by Root in going Irom Kalamazoo to Island Lake and r,eturn—prob- •ably to look over the prospects of bis soft snap. He received $10 for his time and $10 for his expenses. Five days were spent in building and filling the ice house. The state paid all expenses, furnished all materials paid railroad fare and paid Mr. Root for his five days' labor, by his contract with Gen.

In 1870 a dozen gentlemen who ride in Boston & good deal together, agreed to dine together once a year until the eleventh man should have departed this life. The organization was called "The United Twelve," and they held their fifteenth annual dinner Thursday evening, March 19, the entire twelve still being united on thii side- the river. So says the Lowell Courier. THE humane society of Pittsburg has entered a suit in the United States court against the Pennsylvania railroad company alleging that the recent act of congress which provided heavy penal* ties on all public carriers of live stock for failure to properly care for animals during transportation has been shamelessly disregarded, the defendant company having allowed live stock shipped from Chicago to be on the road sixtytwo hours without food, water or rest. The suit is a test one and brought at the suggestion of the agent of the national humane society. Should the plaintiff win the case an attempt will be made to enforce the act in all parts of the United States. WiTh--calm fortitude Gen. Grant ' from the base of the earthen mound on which it Stands, attains a height of seventy- five feet, which is "considerably exceeded by several of the 160 feet towers that strengthen it. But these defenses, though seemingly formidable, are now, like those of most Afgan fortresses, fast crumbling to decay from long neglect. The citadel, like that of Cairo, stands on a steep rock in the center of the town. There are lour bazars, which lie Just within the four principal gates. The place has a considerable trade with Persia, India, Turkestan, and western China, the chief local product being saffron, asafestida, saddlery, caps, cloaks, shoes, carpets, sables and dressed sheepskins. The name of the town is said to be derived from the Heri-"Rud" or river, which flows along the southern base of the ridge upon which Herat stands.

For many weeks in constant contemplation of the inevitable hour of dissolution, while enduring severe physical pain and mental distress, he has kept steadily at the task of completing a history of the great struggle in which his genius led the way to victory. Not at Shiloh, Fort Donelson or on the Cumberland;'not at Vie1 urg, Port Hudson or on the Missis«r> ><; not at Spottsylvania, the Wildem ^s, nor in front of Richmond—or on no field of- the war did he "display "a~n6bter ; quality of heroism than has been shown in his quiet home, where he has labored even while Death seemed to be crossing the threshold &U8CH 17. Six AM—The ohair laid be/on the Senate the resolution offered by Mr. Blair authorising the committee *m education and labor to continue, with a view to its completion dor* ing the earning racation, the investigation of the relatione between labor and capital.

The resolution' empowers the committee to summon wit" loesses ancTdo whatever if neceatary icr a full examination of the sub cot. The en • ate at"1:15 p. m., on motion of Mr. Miller of California, went into executive session. The Senate confirmed Col. N. H. Davis as inspector general to succeed Gan. Sockets, deceased, with rank of brigadier general, and Ool. Edward D. Clark o! Mississippi, as ateistant secretary of the interior. MARCH 18. SBHATS—The chair laid before the Senate the resoiution offered by Mr. Miller or New York, authorising the committee on agriculture and lereotry to sit daring the resess of Congress to consider the beat meina of preserving the forests of the public domain, and to employ a olerk at the regular per diem, to b* paid from the contingent fund of the Se :&te Mr. Coakrell protested against the practice of tae Senate incurring eo much PImas* for special committees daring recess, »ni unless it is stopped he said the majority nill find that they are making .*u extravagantly large and unprecedented expenditure from the contingent fund for this purpose. While the majority of the Senate had the power to do this, he wished to put on record his protest asraimt it. Mr. alstant secretary of state; Samuel E.

OJ&NBHAJb NBUS, KBUSTKATED BY DEATH. Minnie Hamilton, who lives on the Vir- Miller of New Jersey expJaided that the only expenditure contemplated by this letolutlon A remarkable picture, rarely sesuiir any country^is_reported from Waterford, Ont, at the funeral of Wm, Perkins, an aged resident of that place. Around the grave were gathered a number of old men and women, the eldest 80 years of age, the youngest 59. Their white heads bowed with sorrow, and their stooping shoulders bent more .than usual to perform the last sad rites over the body of Mr. Perkins, their father, whose age at death was 100 years, 3 months and 7 days. He was born at Gainsborough, England, and came to Canada in 1851, settling near Dunville. He married in early life, had eight children, and every one ot .them survive him, the eldest as stated, being 80 years of age. Such longevity in an entirefamily is almost without parallel, ^ ; - - •'. IN South Carolina recently a man named Dean was riding in a wagon -with the twelve year old son of a neighbor named Miller. An assassin named David Belton rode up behind on horseback and deliberately shot the man Dean. _irL—the wagons The horrified child witnessed the murder and escaped owing to the speed—ofthe frightened horse attached \o the wagon. On an examination in court the child was was asked if he knew what it was to take an oath; if he believed in God; if he had ever heard of the devil; if he went to church or Sunday school. To all these questions he Sjhswered: "No sir." Thereupon the innopent child was not permitted to testify against the murderer. On the other hand, the murderer does not believe in God, has attended church and Sunday school, and was a church member. The case is a vivid illustration of the injustice and folly of the Jaw which nfakes religious belief Qa test of the credibility of witnesses. m HERAT, the present bone of contention between England and Russia, is comparatively small for a place of such paramount importance, containing barely 50,000 inhabitants. It is situated in a slight depression on the sumuit a rooky ridge; 2,650 feet high, forming one of the westernmost spurs of the great 8 Koh (White Mountains) range, whioh runs across Northern Afghanistan from west to east. It is surrounded by ft wall which, m e a s u r ^ ^ ^ ' a , ! ^ t 0 ^ ^ M V^^f^0^ ^ s m ^ i c i ^ «1 A debate followed on the general subjectf ^orf fb«u«rhi ad e^ar^rH>ten to^ood "health ot£ donate olerkshios, during whioh it was s-u1b- - w w wM, < mitted by Mr Van Wyok that the only committees asking to ait during the reoeee and to employ a clerk were those not entitled under the rules to an annual olerk. The reflation was finally adopted. At 12:30 p. m., on motion of Mr. Miller of California the donate proceeded to the consideration of tieoutive business. MARCH 19. BXNATX—The ohair laid before the Senate a resolution requesting the president to transmit to the Senate all information in his possession respecting the invasion of Oklahoma. Laid on the table. Hon. Geo. Gray, elected to succeed Hon. Thos. F. B*yard, was sworn in. Mr. Dolph submit* ted a resolution authorizing the committee on coast defenses to sit during the recess for the purpose of investigating and inquiring into the character of existing and necessary coast defenses. Laid over. On motion of Mr. Van Wyck the resolution prohibiting the sale of lands described in the act approved May 17, 1866, so far as the same lie within the line of said railroads between Waldo and Tampa bay, Florida, until Congress shall have &uthQiis«d the same, was referred to the public lands committee. A. resolution was submitted by Mr. Manderson providing that a committee of five senators shall be appointed to prooeed to Alaska during the rtoets of cong>e;s, for the purpose of malting a general investigation of the condition of mining, etc , in that country. The resolution was discussed, but no action was | taken;—MrrVTtbO'nTeieisted as successor to Mr. Groome of Maryland, was sworn and took his seat. The Senate then at 12:30 p. m,, went into executive session. In executive session Mr. 8herman offered a resolution directing the chair to appoint a committee of two senators to wait on the president and inform him that unless he has some farther communication to make that the Senate is ready to adjourn without delay. The resolution will probably be adopted to-morrow. At 13:30 p, m., when the doors were reopened, the Senate adjourned. MARCQ 20. ginia aide ofthe Ohio river, met Arthur Simpson at the skating rink in Olarington, Ohio. Simpson is a reputable young man, the son of a farmer living near that place. An attachment ripened into love and an engagement followed, An elopement was planned, though there was no excuse tot it, as there was no objection to their marriage. Probably a spirit of romance actuated them. The girl, in attempting to leave a second story window of the house of a friend to meet her lover, fell and received injuries from which she died the next morning. A aSOBTAGK OP WHEAT. S. W. Talmage, the well known crop statistician of Milwaukee, is in receipt of late information in relation to the area, condition and present outlook of the winter wheat crop. The report shows the acreage to be largely decreased ~ar compared wishr lasr] year. The condition is very unfavorable and the prospects for a fair yield are most unpromising. The reports are from the states of Ohio, California, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Keatuoay, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia and South Carolina. A decreased acreage oi from 5 to 30 per cent, is reported, allowing the states named 3,910,000 acres. This shortage, at the average yield of last year (i3 basuelt) will snow a falling off of 50,800- 000 ouBnels. Adding tj this the reported damage by winter kiiling_aud other causes, which will' average at least 15 per cent, (these states producing last year 340,000,000 bashelu) will show a farther falling oft of 51,- 000 000. making from present indications a total shortage in the yield of these 16 states of 101,800,000 bushels. TANNER OUTDONE. A singular case has just been made public at Akron, wherein it is shown that Jennie Hull, aged 15, lived 75 days without taking a particle of food save a very small bit or orange once or twice a week and occasionally a swallow of water. The girl was buried on the 17th inat.—bhe ate her last meal on New Year's day. Soon afterward she fell from high chair and sustained injuries to her back, SBNATK—The chair laid before the Senate a memorial from the stats legislature oi Maine, advocating the adjustment of [the differences in international laws by a high court of arbitration. Referred. Mr. Manderson'e resolution, authorizing the appointment of a committee of five by the committee on territories to proceed to Alaska during the recent of -Congress to make certain investigation*, was then laid before the Senate. It tlloted au txoeediagly protracted debate, in which extravagant commissions were hanled back and forth over the coals. No action was ra>en on the resolutions. The resolution of Mr. Harrison rescinding the order giving Mr. Van Wyoks' committee power to investigate the Mississippi river and employ a olerk during recess was referred to that committee, and the Senate went into executive session. In executive session the following nominations were oon armed Joseph B. Evan of Neva la, to be coiner of. the mint at Carson, Nov.; Wm. M. Garraad [ oi Nevada to be superintendent ofthe mint «t Carson, Nev.; Wilton J. Durham of Kentucky, to be flr'-t cemptrollsr of the treauK?; M.artin V. Montgomery of Mkhi »an,ti be commissioner of patents; afalotjlm Hay of Fennsylvaufa, to be first assistant postmaster-general; John O. Atkins of Teato fee: commissioner ol Indias affairs; TIE 3 RATIFIED. The Senate has ratified the treaty with the khedive or Egypt and the convention relating to boundary lines between this country and Mexico. The treaty with the khedive extends to the United States the commercial privileges whioh Great Britain enjoys, by virtue ot the treaty between Egypt and Greece, made about a year ago. Tue treaty with Mexioe recognizes the principle of international law in tne settlement of die* putee whioh may oscur over changing the bed of the Rio Grande river. IN THE INTERESTS OF LABOR. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, recommends that three special agents be sent to Strops for from three to five months, and eight or ten such agents be appointed for the United States to investigate the labor question in all its various ramifications. The suggestions meet the approval of Secretary Lamar. SHE USED KEROSENE . Betsey R. Hoadlsy, aged 82, met a horrible death at Sonuh Bay, near Syracuse, N. Y. Willie Dunham, a nephew, crossed the street to pay her his usual morning greeting, when he was horrified at seeing htr dead faos protruding through a broken window pane. Banning back home he described what he had seen. Mrs. Hoadlsy was the widow of Leonard Ho^dley, who fought in the war o! 1813, and for which service she reoeived a pension. The body was found in •+- knerling posture and" the hands were clasped as it in prayer. There was a trail of burnt footprints filled with baked flesh oo the oarpel from the ittove to the window. Not a shred of clothing remained ou the body whioh ( was burned to a crisp. Mrj. Hoadley lived alone. She was of sound mind and in excellent health, but us ad kerosene to light the tire. H o w He A t e Hash, Merchant Traveler. "Do you eat hash with.a fork? asked [the landlady of her new boarder." - "No, ma'm,,J he responded kindly. "Ah, you eat it with a-knife then ? " with some evidence of disapproval. "No, nia'm," he repeated more timidly than before. A Michigan Soldiers' Home. Adrian Times. The movement looking to building a "soldiers1 home" in this state is one that fcvery loyal-hearted man and woman will heartily approve. The spectacle of a man who fought for the preservation ot the government; spending his last days in a poor house with paupers is a disgrace to the good people of Michigan. It has occurred in the state —can De seen to-day. Many of those who fought in the Union urmy have been unable to acquire a competence, their business adventures have turned out disastrously, and age, with all its ills and burdens, made heavier no doubt by the exposures and privations of a soldiers1 life, has come upon them, and they can no longer earn the food and clothing necessary to keep them alive and covered.. Through no fault of theirs these old heroes have come to this sore strait. The question is what shall be done for themP As matters are, the best, indeed the only thing possible, is to pur them in the poor houses. The soldiers1 [homes sustained by the government are so full that it is simply impossible to find lodgment and care for the wornout veterans there. It* doesn't seem right, it isn't rigbt to treat these old heroes simply as common paupers are treated. They have a claim to the consideration that the pauper has not; they have been called to discharge the highest dnty that can be exacted of the citizen; they tendered themselves, their lives, all that men hold most dear in this life, that the nation might be preserved against the assaults of those who essayed to destroy it by violence. Shall it be said that these men are not entitled to special consideration P Much is said of the grandeur and nobility of patriotism, and special praise is claimed to be due to those who show themselves patriots when their country calls for men to stand between it and its enemies. We try to impress our children with the belief that the very highest duty of the American, citizen, after that he owes to his God, is the duty he owes to his country, and that the man who is true to that duty, when that means sacrifice of home and friends, exposure to danger and death, is a man worthy of honor at the hands of his countrymen. What idea of the value of patriotic discharge of duty is an intelligent boy likely to receive from the spectacle of a survivor of the grand armies that saved the nation, cast into the poorhouse, the recipient of public charity? Justieo demands that the aid given to old soldiers should not. be doled out as a charity, but given as something: due, in payment for service that can't be estimated in dollars and cents. The state of Michigan is abundantly abl_e_to_take. proper care of the old veterans in hnr bounds, such care that the young man contemplating their condition may say, f •! thank-GodVI belong ta a state that does its duty by the heroes to whose valor the nation owes its existence.'' 4'IndeedP Pray, may I ask how you MO eat it?"

Hidden Treasures- Every year or so some imaginative Bohemian of the Washington press revives the old story of untold wealth in the form oi jewels that are hidden away in the vaults of the Treasury Department. Each time the value of the treasures is magnified, until at latest accounts seven-or eight figures are required to express it. In point of fact, there is a quart or more of precious stones in the bond vault of 1 he treasurer's office, but singular as it may appear, no one can be found who has any conception of their value. About thirty years ago during Pierce's time some Eastern potentate with an unpronouocable name sent to the President of the United States several swords heavily jeweled, a bottle of roses and a jeweled casket. The swords and other presents could not be received by tho President, inasmuch as a clause in the Constitution prohibits the acceptance of gifts of this character. Eciquette prevented their being sent back and they promised^ to become-a whtteelephant on the government's hands. In this dilemma they were deposited in a case in the model room of the Patent Office, where they remained for years, until a clever Philadelphia thief who came here for that purpose succeeded in stealing them. After a hpse of some months the jewels were captured and* placed in the treasury vault for safe "keeping. Here for oight years they have remained sealed up in bottles and hidden away in a rough pine box out of sight and almost forgotton except by those to whose keepicg.they are especially intrusted. The custodians of the vault differ widely as to the value of the contents. One says the lot would be cheap at $100,000, while another thinks $1,500 a stiff prico for the whole assortment No one owns it, the United States really having no more title to it than the King of the Cannibal Islands, except that | the United States holds possession. The jewels are liable any dav to be stolen again, and Tresurer Wyman says the successful thief will probably reap the benefits of his haul next time, as it would be exceedingly doubtful if the ownership of this government could be established. There is only one way in which the treasure can be disposed of and that is by the amending the Constitution so as 4o allow the heirs of ex-Prosident Pierce to dispose of it. The curious visitor to the Treasury Department inquires for it invariably and eyes the rough, pine box which inclose* it with looks of wonder and awe. Somo times tbrbox is handled roughly [ o n such occasions the subtle odor of the attar of roses nil the vault for days. Moberiy-Coleman. On Tuesday was consummated a marriage, the details of whioh are interesting, on account of the unusual circumstances that oemonted a bond already existing. Seveial years ago, Mr. John M. Moberly, a mature bnsi* ness man, and a person of sedate and methodical life, was smitten by the ^ triet charms and modest graces of Miss laiaie E. Coleman, then a mere girl with long curls of beautiful brown hair^ The friendship formed ripened'into the* deepest devotion, and Mr. Moberly soon occupied the position ol the favored' suitor of Miss Coleman Time rolled on, and the ardent regard of the young: people might never have proved other than Platonic, had not good fortune visited them by means of the Louisiana State Lottery. In a playful mood, they agreed to invest three dollars in three-fifths of a ticket Miss Coleman paying one dollar, with the expectation of receiving one-third of the returns. Two weeks later Mr. Moberly in whose name the ticket was made, was startled at his desk at the Mercer • National Bank by the intelligence that his ticket had drawn $15,000. He immediately went to New Orleans,' secured the money, and, with a high sense of honor, sent Miss Coleman her portion, $5,000. After two months longer of waiting, the devoted young people determined to invest in a lottery ticket again; tbis time in the lottery of matrimony, in whioh we are fully persuaded they will both draw prizes. The marriage was celebrated Tuesday last at 12:30, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. R. E. Coleman, where a most sumptuous feast was served to the few friends invited to attend. The young couple left o n t h e _ 1:25 train tor HaiJiington,^wnereTney will make their future home. Mr. Moberly will engage in the real estate and claim business with his brother* Judge Wm, Moberly. The groom is an able business man while the bride is an/ amiable and attractive lady, and they oaqnot fail to find success and many friends in their new borne.— Harrodsburg. Ky., Democrat, Feb. 27.

The4)uke took occasion not long ago to reason with her upon tho peculiarities. of manner and general carriage which prevent her from being popular like her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales. A royal row ensued, but wound up with the announced resolve of the daughter of the late Czar to model her comportment in future after that of the Danish Princess. "It happened not long after," savs the chronicler, "that the Princess• of Wales attended a. charity fair given in aid of an old woman's home. The amiable Alexandra, out of the goodness of her heart, went around the room speaking .a kind word to each of the unfortunate Women. Now, the Princess of Wales ts slightlv lame: and the Duchess of Edinburg, who was present and determined to carry out the suggestions of her lord to the letter, went round the room behind the Princess and mimicked her lameness and all! As may be Ttrpposiottr matters were srot aT all mended." The yery best remedy that can be 00m pounded from our present knowledge of drugs, for colds, coughs, asthma, bronchitis and other lung diseases, is Dr. Wistars1 Balsam of Wild Cherry. It has cured many cases of consumption when all other remedies had failed. A single Bpoonful will cure an ordinary cough or cold and give instant relief to asthma. It is soothing, healing and strengthening to throat and lungs and is yery pleasant to take. In the early days of Maryland a tax of 40 pounds of tobacco was levied upon every taxable inhabitant for the pay of preachers. The tax was collected by the sheriff, who charged 4 per cent, for his services and also retained 1,000 pounds per annum for payment of the parish euerk. The laws of Virgina at the same time allowed e rery preacher 1,500 pounds of tobacco and sixteen barrels of flour annually. Art builds on sand; the works of_£rlde The sudden and remarkable growth of the rollor-skating pastime has created a constantly increasing demand for a certain size of box-wood for rollers, and where eighteen months ago a ton of three-inch wood brought $30 it i» now impossible to buy a ton for $120. The price has trebled in less than a year. At the present rate of consumption the world will be practically exhausted of its boxwood in less than twelve months, unless some equally cheap and durable substitute is found to take its place. Boxwood grows in Persia and Turkey, is of very slow growth and in its native coun'.ry stringent Umber laws restrict the depletion of the growing tree*}. Roller-akate manufacturers have tried rubber, celluloid, vulcanized fibres and compressed paper as a substitute for boxwood rollers, but for ope reason or another they have proved unsatisfactory. Dogwood, apple, pepperidge, laurel and lignum- vitis have also been tried by skate maufacturers,, but they have all been rejected, and nothing has yet been found which in all respects is as good for the purpose as boxwood.—-[Wat«r- 'own Times.

Applicants come an hour before the offices are open ariti sit aud wait until they can obtain an audience. When they finally present their cases they get but very, little comfort, because the President has given instructions to the members of the Cabiaet- not to disturb the minor officials nor to attend to any matter save the public business and to see in what way it can be improved. ''Improvement" in this connection means to come to some conclusion in relation to the proposed changes in the positions of trust. Therefore, applicants who desire a small office or a clerk- •ship are told at once that they must leave their papers and that they will be examined iu due course of time. The greater part of the3e papers will be filed away and never heard from again, unless some agile andangry Congressman comes around next winter and "makes Rome howl." There dQes not seem to be much probability that there will be many removals among the dudes of the State Department. Every one of them is backed by petticoat influence, which is the hardest kind to overcome in Washington. There may be a slight cleaning out in the Navy Department after a while and the same observation will hojd true in relation to the war department. The Department of JWsthe has but about thirty clerks, and it is Attorney General Garland's intentionsto allow them to remain if they attend to business .and unless some-^regularity is/discovered in their past work. Secretary Manning will give the Treasury Department a prttty^thvroug}/ overhauling before he gets through with it. This will not include ^ne inoffensive clerks, but the responsible heads, who have "done many thing which they ought not to have /done, and left undone many things which they ought to have dohe>/ will feel as though the Washngtpn Mojgumenl had fallen upon them, '^-.s In the Tost Office Department General Vilas will have-- his hands? full. Of course all the Posf Offices "will be given to competent men of the Democratic faith, but some will be exercised that none are Appointed who are not equal to the duties assigned them. Most of the clerks in this and in the Interior Department will remain undisturbed, so long as their work is properly attended to. Secretary Lamar will make the most of his opportunities to correct long existing abuses in his department, if he finds them, and the heads to be chopped off will probably be those of individuals who have either been detected in wrong doing or w-ho a*e-politically offensive to the administration. At the Department of Justice the number oFapplicatiblfs^received daily averages fully 300 and necessita-' tes the waste of considerable midnight oil on the part of Gen. Ewing, the appointment cleik. As is the case in other departments, the Attorney General is going slowly and will exercise great care in making appointments. The carriages and horses belonging to this department are to be sold and the money turned into the Treasury. At the Navy Department Secretary' Whitney is flooded not only with ap- . plications for office, but-requests for the revocation of orders issued by his Jjredecessoi? assigning naval officers to different duties. -Most of the latter requests complain of injustice and favoritism on the part of the former Secretary. The new Commissioner of Internal ^Revenue is Mr. Joseph S. Miller, of West Virginia, who received his commission from the.President yesterday afternoon. * It is estimated that applications for about five thousand post offices have been receiyed a r t h e Post Office department. As there are fifty thousand post offices in the United States, the rush of applications have just begun. To-day it is estimated that about one thousandjapplications w received, and it ia expected^mftfihe rush will continue ujotiMate in the «unimer. ^ ^ AUGUST. NORTH HAMBURG. From our Correspondent, A favored week in Hamburg—not a tramp to be seen. Mr. Isaac Burroughs is quite poorly again. Prof. L. C. Hull, of the Detroit high school will deliver a lecture at the Union church Saturday eve., March 28. 1885. "Subject, a peep at the South." Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. 0 . W. Sexton were reminded of their 20th anniversary by friends filling the house and leaving as a token of their respect a china set, which was presented with a few remarks by Rev. K. H. Crane. And after a lovely repast and a good time in general, the many friends returned to their homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. Sexton many years of enjoyment with their china. MICHIGAN PATENTS.

The question of building a new school house for this district is being agitated—semewhat and probably * meeting will be called soon withthat object in view, and we would suggest that all ponder it well in their minds and 9ee if tbia enterprise is not an esential one. The building now in use has more the appearance of a barn than a school house and stringers are wont to4ookupon-thfiJiulk_^nd_enquire_for_ what it is used; it has to be frequently repaired; i;i not comfortable only in. warm weather, and will not bold half the scholars ot the district. Now is the best time in the world to build. Material and labor are both cheap; it would employ many Ot our idle laborers and leave most of the money in our own town. Motley can also be had at a low rate oi interest and by giving bonds due in two or three years say for $5,000 it could be paid with ease,' and that amount ought to put up a good school building. It is only «j question of time, gentlemen, and why not do it when everything is so advantageous for your welfare? Among the April Magazines the Cot-' tage Hearth is especially attr*active, as it contains, besides its usual amount of short stories, poems and domestic matter, an interesting paper on Westminster Abby and the Tower of London, by Willis Boyd Allen.

Senator Sherwood congratulated the Senate that no more speeches on the bill would be heard. The bill comes from the conflict Somewhat disfigured. But two sections are left. The first one prohibits the killing of deer any time before October 1 1888, and thereafter only between October 15 and December 15 of each year. The accompanying section provides a penalty for violating the sister section. The fine is not to exceed $100 nor the imprisonment ninety days. Both may be given in the discretion of the court. The bill was tabled. An Account of the Trouble With a Sketch of Its Leader; In view of the general interest in the rebellion of the Indians and half-breeds of the Northwest under the leadership of one Riel, we append a sketch of that remarkable character with an account of the origin of the troufcie. KIEL. THE LEADER. The Hon. Z. Demeules of Minneapolis says that he knows Riel well. Mr. Demeules told a newspaper correspondent that Biel is a shrewd, well educated man, who will give the dominion government more trouble than they expect. Mr. Demeules gives this account of him- "Kiel is a highly moral man, brave as a lion, and much like his father before him in otner respects. He has an uncle (his father's brother) now living in Minneapolis. Riel is about 45 vears of age. He attended the same college I did in Montreal in his early days and I well remember the impression I formed of him at that time as that of a young man of brilliant promise. When he graduated he stood tecond in his class. He is one-quarter I n - dian, as his grandfather married a full blood squaw. He is liked by all who know him and his very appearance is enough to inspire ' one who meets him with confidence. He is nearlv six feet in height and when he left college weighed 190 pounds, and presented as fine a physical appearance as I ever saw. The next time I saw him after he left Montreal was in. 1858 in Minneapols. He came as an adventurous ..young man and remained here a year. I had not seenbim for three years and when I met him at the-Pes Noyors house—the half way house between here and St. Paul—he recognised me and began to talk Latin to me. I then remembered him and frequently after met him while he remained here. Leaving here young Riel went to Montreal where he was educated at the expense of a philanthropic lady named Massoit, who lived near Montreal, and who aided young men possessing such talents as Riel had. The next time I saw him was in 187$, when be^vas-flying from justice. The Canadiaa government hail set a price on his head—$10,000 I think— and spies were after him. lie had been traveling in the East incognito, and was unknown save to friend3 here. 1 was in the legislature at ihat timo, and one day Kiel, another gentleman and myself wore in ^-saloou^opposite the Merc'n.nt8\ when Rlel*s quick eye detected the presence of Englishmo r. 'My God!" said he in French, "I am a dead man," nodding toward the Englishman. "Then he left me by the back door. My othor friona had a set-to with the EnWshmen-an^-aiter-dow^iag<>neM9t:"nankB of theAasinaboinerigfir andwj A N old resident ot Maine, recalls in the New York Tribune, the passage of the famous woodpecker law, by the Maine Legislature, about twenty years ago. A Democratic editor stated that woodpeckers were included in a law for the protection of game birds during the close season. He attacked the Republican legislature for passing such a ridiculous law. The other side took up the guage and declared that the woodpecker was a friend to the farmer and ought to be protected, whereupon came the rejoinder that the woodpecker lived on fruit buds and ought to be exterminated. The agricultural papers joined in the discussion and a warm contest was waged for two years, at the BJKLOI which time it was discovered that "woodoock" and not **woodpecker** was the word in the original law—that it did not contemplate the protection of woodpeckers, and that a printer's error had precipitated the now historical fight between the woodpecker and the antiwoodpecker party./ them we left Riel was in hiding three or four days until his would-be captors had left. Then he went north and west, but kept out of Canada until five or six years ago, when he was pardoned." . ivir. Demeules described R i e r s f a t w r » :i uau of great genius, fie^fc one urn* studied for the Driesthood, and in 1849 led the ha]i>ereeds in a revolt when their gnjjwMTces against the Hudson Bay^eompany could no longer be tolered. CAUSE OF THE UPRISING. The present uprising is due to the agitation begun by Riel about a year ago. Riel was the leader in the "Red River barrier of 1869, and for his complicity in the troubles of that time was banished for five years from the dominion. He returned to Canada last year and entered the Saskatchewan country when he advised the half-breeds as to the course to pursue to obtain recognition of their rights by the government. The half-breeds claim that patents should be issued for the land occupied by them, and that each man should have his homestead definitely defined and be allowed to use the timber on his claims. The half-breeds, in short, demand the same ires tment as is accorded other *eltlers. It is thought probable that commissioners will oe^sem t o confer with the malcontents and. if possible, adjust the difficulties without resorting to armed force. THE SCENE OF THE REBELLION. Manitoba and the_ territory now tha scene of trouble was ceded to the dominion in 1869 by the Hudson bay company, who until then had been governors of the country. The precipitation with which the dominion government sought to assume the possession by sending the Hon. William McDoagall to Winnipeg to enter upon the duties of lieutenant governor- had its natural, result, and tha half-breeds, under the lead of Louis Riel, reaolvod to prevent his entrance into the settlement until some guarantee was received for the rights of the inhabitants, and the rebellion of 1869 WAS the result. At the time of the transfer of the territory to the dominion, Rays a writer, tLe log huts of the French half-breeds lined both sides of the Red and Assinaboine rivers for man? miles up and down the streams from Winnipeg. They cultivated each man a few acres over a large proportion of the brokeu land, { and for many years 1 heir large-wheeled ox-oarts were *tb?e—only vehicles that brought produce in at ill large quantities to the settlements. Their fathers had come to the North west many years before as servant*, of the Hudson bay company. They had married Indian wemen, and raanjrot the half-breeds, at the time of the transfer, had been living in undisturbed possession of their little farms for thirty of forty years and bome for half a century. Hithertothey had known no one but the great corporation whose employes they were. Rome was their ohurch and the Hudson Bay company their state. THE GOVERNMENT'S CLAIM. Suddenly word came up the river that the land upon which they had lived for so many years had been transferred to the dominion of Canada. Their Indian blood took fright, and they pictured their lands in the hands of strangers, themselves turned out of doors, and their homes gone. The arbitrary course of Mr. McDougall bore its legitimate fruit in Kiel's rebellion. The rebellion did not keep the strangers out, but it had it* effect in the hail-breed land act, whioh was soon after passed by the d o - minion parliament In the first place, there were 1,400,000 acres of land set apart for the half-breed infants; subsequent grants were made of land and scrip to the half-breed heads of families. Afterward came an order in oounoil dividing the 1,400,000 acres of land anions the infants per capita, and granting 240 acres to each child, Commissioners were sent about to take a premium; each oh lid was worth 240 acres of good land to its parents and tradition says that children were "lent" from one family to another, those already counted by the commissioners being sent ahead to be counted over again in the interest of another family further on; consequently the commissioners reported unusual multiplying powers as characteristic of the French half-breeds in the Northwest. LAUDS IN CHANCEBY. Next, continues the writer quoted, we have the lands selected, apportioned out, and placed in chancery for these children until they should become of age, with special stipulation in tho aot that they should be considered to have attained their majority at the age of 18. The lands granted to the heads of families were soon disposed of without any good to their possessore; in many cases the speculator came on the scene, the land changed owners for a song, tho "head of the family" got on a protracted spree, and that ended the benefit of the Is-nds act so far as he was concerned; in a very few exceptiona! cases nas it remained in his possession or been disposed of to his advantage. As to the land set apn.rt for minors it seems absurd to keep wealth stored up for the benefit of a child when he should reach his majority, when h was evident that without Immediate assistance he must die within a few days. A few bona-fide cases of destitution led to a change in the practice. In many cases the money realized on the sales was not placed i s the care of tho court, butordeft were even made that all the money be giveh in trust to the parish priest or to the "heads of families" The Baie St.* Paul floods caused a great deal of real distress among the Metis along the followed by a tremendous rui the courts for infant mone' ^ A H D G E L a e X L PABCE. Childron<-i^Til, and 12 years of age wej^e*amined with the utmost gravity, d the farce was again and again enaoted by obtaining their consent to the sale of their lands, Strange It was that these youngsters never withheld their consent. Lands were taken out of chancery and sold with such rapidity that to keep up with the times printed affidavits had to be struck off in great numbers uniformly deposing that the deponent was the father of such and such an infant; that he was hopelessly ill or disabled, that he was destitute and unable to keep his children; for some time after all effects of the Baie St. Paul floods had entirely passed away iujury from the floods remained an invariable clause in every affidavit that was intefidSdrto "fetch the judge." The custom still prevails very widely among half-breeds in Manitoba of swearing interest out of court. T*ae monoy that remained in chancery on tho sale of* infants' lands is not.and has allowed to lie and accumulate interest The half breeds know that interest is accumulating. Some of, them are not remarkable for industry. While there is the certainty of a few dollars being -paid out of court to thenr in a few weeks or months they will live iu utter idleness and exist on almost nothing rather than work. When the interest is due they show great aativity. Then may be seen, hale, strong men, looking /or their lawyers to make them draft affidavits for them, telling "la juge" at the "palais rfo justice" that they are all sick unto dying, that they can't support their families, that they are destitute. From this state of affairs ir. is evident tttat tho gniating of lands to the French half breeds of Manitoba iias not secured for them the great benefit that Riel expected. On the contrary the little money that it has placed in their hands has made-many of them idle, shiftless and inactive. OILMBBAL N E W * . 8TRICKEN SOUTHERNERS. Reports of great suffering In several of their took counties of Wert Virginia among tho people and stock for want of food bare beta made, but not until recently wore reports confirmed A gentleman who hai traveled through Braxtea, Gilmer and Calhoun Ooontieeeaja a few days'travel in the counties named haaproven that the destitution and aeffariag are indeeoribable. In many localities people are on the verge of death by starvation. Stock is no better off than the people, the animals dyiagfor what of food. The suffering is great in Koane and Jackson Counties. In tome sections of the stricken district people are 'subsisting on beans, and §ruel made of wheat ground in coffee-mill*, 'he greatest auffcrinff exist* in parte isolited from, towns and railroads where supplies oannot bo gotten. For milei a store cannot be found, and those that are kept have aoaroely enough on hand for tho proprietors' families. The low atate of wells and springe during the drought last summer and fall sowed the seeds of disease. Many people are aiok. The difficulty of getting medical aid ad da terror to the situation. All through the section named the crape were out short last year and the Buffering ia beyond comprehension. The wheat crop is short and farmers in the stricken section are unable to procure seed corn. AGAINST THE MORMONS. A decision has been rendered by the auprune oout of the United States affirming the decision of the lower courts in the aerv ice of five oases known aa polygamy suits, brought by oertain Mormon oitiiens of Utah for tho purpose ot getting a Judicial decision as to the power of the board of commissioners or aanvaa*ers rnpointed under tne socalled Edmunds aot oi March 2*. 1882, to supervise elections in that territory principal question raised by the auit is whether the boaid of commissioners appointed under the Edmonds act had power to prescribe aa a condition of the registration or voters, a discriminating test oath requiring the applicant for registration to swear (if a man) .that he ia not a bigamist or polygamies and doaa not l i v or cohabit with more than one woman in the marriage relation, or (if a woman) that ahe ia not tho wife of a polygamiat and has not entered in to any relation with any man in violation of the lawa of the United States concerning polygamy or bigamy. The general sentiment among intelligent Mormona regarding the decision is one of disappointment, which the teat eath prescribed by the oommiaaion declared invalid. They atate the ooort went out of ita way to practically declare the Edmunds act valid when the point was not neeeaarily before it. The ruling that inhabitants of territories are under the sovereign control of oongreaa, is viewed with amazement and regret, and is generally considered aa a decision more opposed to a republican form ot government than any ever given since the nation was founded. The Mormons feel then are being nnjuatly dealt with. SUFFERING FOR FOOD. Additional particulars of the suffering for want of food in the interior ot Woat Virginia, have been received.

A BUFFALO BLAZE. •Musio Hall, in Buffalo, N. Y., was discovered to be on fire the other evening j u t before the performance began. The oompany playing in the building had barely time to escape with their lives, and lost all of the wardrobes and settings of ' the operas of ' T a l k e d - "The Little DOM," and the "Queen's Lace Handkerchief." An hour later the St. Louis Catholic church at the rear ot Music Hall took: fire and it was aoon evident the magnificent edifloe was doomed. The itreet between Musio Hall and the churoh is very narrow, rendering it impossible for the fire department to do effective work. George 8mith and Joseph Green ascended ladders in front of the church for the purpose of assisting the firemen in directing the work. The building burned rapidly, and the firemen and Smith hastily left the root, whioh they had reached but lor some reason Green remained and frantically rushed to the cupola, climbing it in full view of the thousands of spectators. He clambered to the lightning rod, but returned and ruahed to the body of the roof, whioh was now burning fiercely. He rushed to the corner of the building heedless of the oriea of the firemen who had a tarpaulin stretched for him to jump into, made for the tower and from it hung by the hands fully ten minutes. An attempt was made to reach him witu a ladder, bat it was unsuccessful owing to the network ot telegraph wires surrounding the building. At this time the entire front ot the ohuroh was enveloped in flamea. Wiven the smoke cieared away he wax seen still clinging to the edge of tha roof. Then he luxged forward, let go hiu hold and fell and struck on his head and was instantly killed. At 8,30 o'clock the tower of Mtuio Hall led into the street. The south wall, which was unuaaal y strongly built, as it was within ten feet of a large private dwelling, remains intaot. The fire was finally confined to Memo Ball and the church. The Musio Hall was completed in 1888, having been about a year in the oounooi construction. The St. Louis church WAS tho oldest Roman Cathollo church in the city. Music Hall will be remembered aetho place ot holding the grand musical festival of 1883, the Democratic state convention in the fall of 1883 and the grand musical festival at which Theodore Thomas and Dr. Damroach appeared in June, 18841.

According to Roberts, Thompson, and other recognized authorities, kidney disorders are very common, but the obscurity of their positive symptoms is so marked that many people, ill and ont of sorts generally, are really victims of kidney complaint, and they and their physicians do not realize it. Rheumatic pains, irregular appetite, frequent headache, ofaUls and fever, "blues," hot and dry skin, sour stomach, dyspepsia, irregular action of the bowels, nervous irritability, muscular soreness, cramps, languor, impairment of memory, loss of virility, are among the preliminary evidences of coming kidney and liver derangements. As the disease dovelops then follow lame back, swelling ankles, pale face, scalding sensations, the water sometimes being very light and abundant, at others scarce, dark colored and frothy, and abounding in sediment, and, under the microscope, in albumen and tube casts. If the deranged kidneys are not promptly attended to there is danger of the terrible Bright's Disease —hitherto considered incurable, which is a consumption or destruction of the kidneys—the near approach of which alarming disorder should awaken the liveliest concern, for -rt- soon hurries one into the grave unless promptly checked. Disordered kidneys have the unfortunate effect also of weakening the vigor of the liver, as indicated if one has, besides the above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat covered eyeballs, frontal headache after eating, burning and itching skin, cold extremities, hot head, and circulation of blood, sick headache, nausea, light colored evacuations, constieation, piles, variable appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred eyesight, nver-^coughj ague, chills, ievers, wakefulness at night, drowsiness by day, etc. These are some of the commoner, symptoms as laid down by leading ical authorities, and withtjienfin view one ought not to hayje-uluch trouble in ascertainingJfJbe^suffering from disorderspl- these great organs. ^J3Phese observations have been called forth by a double-oolumn article which appears in another place in this paper. Skeptical of some of the statements made therein, and at other times by the same persons we have been led to make a Httln study of the matter ourselves, with the above result. The diseases prevail amongst young and old everywhere, resulting in terrible and untimely deaths; they take off more people than epidemics"; physicians report death as occurring from such diseases as apoplexy, paralysis, convulsion, heart disease, pneumonia, fevers, etc., when in reality these disorders are often secondary to Bright's disease and would not-Qccnr were the kidneysjn healthy Working ftnnriitfon.

But time passes swiftly, and most people are entirely content to let the future speak tor itself. A will made in 1861 by Francis Jackson, of Massachusetts, bequeathed a sum of money in trust to carry on the anti-slavery agitation and for the benefit of fugitive slaves. The testator died in 1865, and after twenty years ot contest the will has just been held valid. What the trustees will do with the money now that there nre no fugitive slaves or anti-slavery movements is a mystery. D m i n g t h e past six months there have been frequent reports of wholesale desertions from the banner of El $f ahdi. If these stories were all true, the False Prophet should now have a wretchedly feeble following. But the accounts of Soudan battles tell quite a different tale. If El Mahdi has actually been somewhat weakened by revolts the British must thank their lucky stars. What if he had swept against them in the Bahiuda Desert with all his original strength? Sullivan and Ryan, two notorious and unnecessary citizens ot the United States, are reported to have abDut completed arrangements forapersonal encounter, to take place somewhere in Montana. The terms insisted upon by Sullivan are that—"the fight will be to a finish with small, hard gloves, under the London prize-ring rules." If by fighting "to the finish" they will finish eac,h other, the authorities should not inter-ferejbut encouarge the pugilists in every possible way- ~ - - - - War between England and Russia would effect the entire commercial world. As capitalists would be more interested in the success of England, irrespective of the "merits of the controTersy, they would pour millions of money into her lap, Which would enable her to purchase the allegiance of thousands of natives, who would naturally he more friendly to Russia. I t is true that Russia would adopt the same tactics, b u t m such a warfare the nation with the largest purse usually wins—and in this instance it would be probably England. The Supreme Court ot Cilitornia was recently called, upon to decide the right of Chinese children, born in thi& country, to a place in the public schools. The decision was that they possessed the same rights as other children born in the United States ot alien parents, and that they could not be excluded from the schools. A like decision by Justice Fields, of the Supreme Court ot the United States. plainly indicates that these American born Chinamen are citizens, and that upon their attaining their majority they will under the Fifth Amendment be as fully entitled to vote as are the colored people of the land, and no State can by local laws prohibit them from the exercise of this right. London, March 28.-VThere is a marked lull in the war scene. In fact, among the very sober minded there is no war scene at all. Some of the most fiery jingoes are even beginning to ask themselves what grounds they have \ for causing all the alarm ot the past week. The first announcement of the Queen's summons calling out the army reserves and militia almost created a picnic. It aroused the national pugnacity thoroughly. I t made every fighting Englishman ready to fight nghtaway. The pugnacity is still up, but there is a growing belief that it is up for nothing. Bueklen's Arnica Salve.

Friday morning, about 10 o'clock, Eddie Waddell, a lad 6 years old, living with his gnand-mother, Mrs. M. Higgins, Jackson, while playing with a revolver accidently shot Nellie Gteason, a girl about 13. The revolver was a small tweaty -two six-shooter of the cheapest kind , but it made a dangerous wound. The bullet entered the left side of the lower jaw and followed the bone round to the center of the chin, where it is tirmly lodged in the bone. Dr. North dressed the wound, but concluded it was not safe to attempt to remove the ball until the hemorrhage Wbfcules. The little boy who caused all this trouble, when asked about the shooting, said he didn't mean to hurt Nellie; he wanted to play with the revolver and dithr't«ttppei«eit would shoot.

As there are but six districts in the State and but one delegate selected from each district, the honor conferred on Dr. Donohue is something more than ordinary, THe coming congress will be attended by the most eminent physicians of Europe and America. The various important subjects will be- severally discussed in a series of sessions that will cover a period of about three weeks. The attendance on, and participation in these deliberations wil be of incalculable benefit to our—young physician.

The Michigan had bien ioe-bound for 42 days/ Had not the Arctic been near, the nun m u t oertainly have perished, as they were exhausted by coldand hard work, and to have reached land by meani of shifting ice in their pretent exhausted condition would have been impossible. The steamer Michigan was built by the Detroit Dry-Dock oompany at their Wyandotte yard and wai launched about midsummer in 1881. She ii 212 tect long, thirty-tour feet six inches beam, and fourteen ifcet four inches deep. Bhe was constructed with a spoon-shaped bow, especially modeled for crushing through heavy ioe. In order to render her more safe she had a double bof torn, with a space between the two bottoms of three feet ner entire length. Bhe h*d five water-tig kit compartments, and was built of heavy iron in a substantial manner. Alter her iron work had been completed/he was placed in oharge of the late £ . LjMontgomery, ot the Star Line, who superintended the building of her cabins, which were among the finest on the lakes, and decorated without regard to cost, with oil paintings and th* finest ot carpets ana furniture. Miles Fetorson built the cabins. During her first winter the work done in the ice was jmite jatiafa©- tory, but the present winter, and that of 1883 -4 were both toe severe for successful navigation, and the oompany must have lost a great deal of money by attempting to keep the route open. The fact that the steamer had five water-tight compartments, and little cargo would go to show that the damage received from the ioe must have extended pretty well along her aide so as to admit water into more than one compartment.

THE SILK DRESS. " there's Annie Beldon!" said Aunt Jane, looking up from her knitting as she heard the sound of footsteps on the plank walk which lay along the front .fence. "Poor soul! I.never see her that 1 don't think of that verse in the Bible Wihich says that " from him that hath not shall be taken even that which he hath," and she sighed deeply. I looked , from tie window just in time to see Annie Beldon before she turned the corner of the next street. She was a faded, careworn looking woman, a little past middle age, with dark-brown hair thiokly sprinkled with gray. Her dress was a rusty black cashmere, her black shawl was decidly shabBy, and her crape bonnet was shabbier still. She looked neither attractive nor interesting, and X turned from the window and took up my crocheting again, remarking only that "she looked as if she had had her share of sorrow." " Sometimes I think she has had a good deal more than her share," said Aunt Jane. "I know douens of women would have sunk into the grave under only half as much. A a l the best of -4t is, she don't never complain. She's the cheerfulest soul that ever breathed." *• Does she live near hereP " I asked, more out of politeness Jtfeat from any reaiiuterestin the subject, "No! but she was my next door neighbor for twenty-five years when this was a farmhouse. The town lay two miles off then, and we never looked to see it grow up right to our very doors. Annie wouldn't fee wearing such shabby clothes if there hadn't been a mortgage on their place. She could have sold every acre at a good profit if tThadrbeeu free." "Tell me about her, Aant Jane," I said, as the old lady paused. "You'll have plenty of time before supper." "Dear me, child, there isn't much to tell, V maybe the little there is wouldn't prove very intcrestin' to you.

"Luther looked at her real steady a minute. Then he says, sorter slow 'n' quiet, 'For all that, I mean to get you one, Annie. 1 want to see how you'd look in it.' " •No'better'n I look now in my blue delaine,' says Annie. 41 'We'll see 'bout that,' says Luther. 'I don't care how hard times are, I mean to live till I get you a black silk dress.'

A Romantio 3t ory- A correspondent of the New York Tribune sends the following from Pittsburg: Some of the . old people in this city remember Robert Graves & Son, lumber ^merchants, who failed here Minority Representation* N. Y. Tribune. There is pending in the Michigan Legislature > bill providing for the representation of minorities in corporations, on the cumulative plan. Every stockholder is to have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares of stock owned by him for as many persons as there may be directors to be elected, or to cumulate such votes upon such candidates as he may please. Under this provision, with equal effort and skill on both sides, the representation in the board will correspond as closely as possible to the relative strength of different interests. The minority will then have, as they have not now, the right to be present at meetings of the directors to examine books' to know what is being done in the company, and to be heard in opposition to any measure whioh they consider adverse to their interests. A similar provision was put into the Constitution of Illinois in 1870, and has worked well ever since; was incorporated in the constitutions of West Virginia in 1872. Pennsylvania in 1873, and Missouri in 1875, and has been of marked service in all those states. This measure is opposed only on the ground that it is desired by the minorities in certain important corporations for their own defense. But this does notseem to be a reason for rejecting, but rather a reason for adopting it. Even in political matter* the tendency of progress has been toward greater defense and recognition of the rights of minorities, while in a business corporation it is a well-understood principle that each individual stockholder has rights of which he cannot lawfully be deprived by the action-of a majority. But the defense of those rights through the courts is at ali times difficult, costly, and attended with delay, and moreover the injury to the corporation resulting from litigation and exposures of its operations is often so serious that minorities endure great injustice rather than resort to such a remedy. In all parts of the country abuse of corporate pow erhas become a fruitful source of financial and industrial difficulties. It is reasonable to believe that the adoption of the measure pending in Michigan; by preventing such abuses and giving minorities power to protest against them in season, and if need be to defend their rights by timely legal prow o u l d p r o v e incalculably to business interests and thev could to soothe his dying moments He began to talk in a feeble voice: "Boys, if I could only get some shad 1 could die in peace," was what he said. His friends looked aghast. How could they get shad away out there in the interior where the shad doesn't grow? Somo of them didn't know a shad from a sawbuck, and besides it was not shad season, anyway. Suddenly one of the party, a Marylander, exclaimed: "All right old boy; you shall have some as quick as I can get it cooked,'* and he rushed out. Presently he returned with a dish with something in it which looked tempting. "Here, old boy, is some nicely fried shad. Help yourself." The dying man slowly reached, out his hand, he was too far fone to be able to eat, and feebly fumhug the dish with his fast stiffeningfingers, a smile of sweet satisfaction lighted up his expiring countenance, he said: "Yes, that's shad. I can feel the bones. Thank you, pard; I die happy." The Marylander had fried a paper of pins in a little butter. beckonin' to me."

"AM I haven't felt anything like it since I used to ride a toboggan in my own dear native land!"—A peaceful omilo slid W h o W r o t e Shakespeare? Hon. Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota, is hard at work to prove what he has long believed, that the writer of Shakespeare's plays was not Shakespeare, bnt Bacen. He is firm in his theory and cities in support of the assertion that W lliam Shakespeare, a butcher's son, was educated at the Stratford village school, where only the rudiments of Latin were taught, the English branches being neglected. Yet the first "heir of the invention" of Shakespeare, the "Venus and Adonis," was the most perfect and finished Piece of courtly versification produced in that age. The writer of these plays was not only a man of vast genius, but of great learning. Whole pages were written in French, and there are evidences that the writer was a Latin, Greek, itadian and Spanish scholar. He was an accomplished and erudite lawyer, so impregnated with the terms of his profession that they flowed from the mouths of his characters. It was not pretended that William Shakespeare was a lawyer. Shakspeare did not, he says, "in his will or any other way, make any claim to the authorship of the plays; they were not even published in his own name, for he always signed his name JShakespeare,.. the firat-sylabla having the sound of shax, while the name on the title page of the various editions of the plays was Shakspeare, very often printed with a hyphen thus Shakspeare/ Bacon," he says, "was a man of finished education, who, in the earlier years of his manhood, had no employment, not being a favori',e with Elizabeth, and was glad of an opportunity of writing these plays Secretly for Shakspeare and gaining some profit, for his lack cf money was a source of great embarrassment to him in his relations with the English nobility. "I have long^ been convinced from the vplnmniouq evidence on the subject that Bacon wrote these plays. He was a man of secretive nature. After Queen rve-r into^ hhiiss face and he was gone. He never oatne back. He couldn't.— Philadelphia News. That reminds us of that yet older cneatnut of the Virginian who died in Elizabeth'H death, when he was advanced to the chancellorship of England by King James, in that capacity and all through his life previous, he" bad had occasion to use a cipLer in his govern-" ment correspondence. In those times letters were intercept d and not only suspicious language, but that which bore any signs of mystjry would endanger the writers' safety. Those^writing m cipher were often called rfpon by the government to interpret the meaning of their messages, and to overcome this Bacon invented a double method bv which>womeanings could be conceal* ed. in one message. In stadying Om subject, merely with historical e video of, it occurred-to-me that possibly Bacoa had made some reference to his authorship in a cipher woven in the text of tta plays, and when this in view 1 began rereading them and found that they w e n from beginning to end one marvelow mosaic work of internal narrative arranged by a system as accurate, un varying and precise as a sum in arithmetic. By a systematic method in 'Heni-y IV.,' 1 found the following sentence: 'Francis Bacon of St. Alpaus, Sir NIchoIasTtecoh's unimportant side" chapter of this story; his robbery o* Sir Thomas Lacy's orchard, the riot referred to in the 'Merry Wives of Windsor,' the killing of the deer, the beating of the gamekeeper, the flight to London, the pursuit and Shakespeare's first encounter with Henry Percy, tho servant of Bacon. Shakespeare was then poor, ragged and begging at the door oi the play houses." Mr. Donnelly had a ftc-simie of the folio edition of the plays published in 1623. "Note how this book is made up. If you put a manuscript in the hands of the publisher without special instruction the pages would be numbered in order. See here," said he, referring to ' two consecutive pages in "Henry IV," one of which was numbered 46 and the other 49, and whioh erroneous numbering is frequent throughout the book. "The cipher hangs on the numbering of these pages. Now, notice the hyphenated words, italicised words and words in parenthesis. They are so placed without regard to rhetorical ruler and are apparently inaccuracies. Many learned commentators have classed them as typographical eirois and havo so oorrootod them. The fact is, these characteristies do not exist in the first editions of the works, which were intended only for the plays, but were inserted in the the tar West.

Last Thursday morning John Watson received quite a serious fall in the icy road, bruising his left hip terribly. Dr. DuBois was called immediately and made an examination but could not decide whether there any bones broken or not. He had not fully recovered from the bruises he received -some 'time ago from being thrown from his cutter. It is doubtful if he will be able to walk again in several months as he is quite o l d - H e has the sincere symyathyea of the Unadillapeoare thoroughly disgusted with the way things are going. Even Mr, Hendricks is said to be very much dissatisfied with what he deems sentimental civil service. The number of malcontents is increasing every day. The eastern democrats stand by the President however, and that makes it look very much as if there might before long be a split in the party on those lines. An eastern member, a democrat, said to your correspondent to-day that the people who weie doing all the grumbling were those only who were disappointed at not getting the offices. NEW GOODS!

I Trom our Correspondent. March 28.1885. Ex-President Arthur will remain here, it is said until the close of next week He has been entertained at dinuer by his friends almost every night since he left the White House. Nearlyjall of leading members of the diplomatic corps will have dined him before he leaves. They take this means of returning courtesies which he extended to them during the time he was President. They can now have " MrT^Ar th uT aTTEeTF^ues t, butwhitehe was President he could not enter the residence of any foreign minister or accept hospitalities of any character from them. Secretary Bayard, it is reported, is appointing Consuls and Consuls General abroad. He will select, where it is to do so, cither American citizens residing at foreign points where representatives are required, or gentlemen who have had experience in diplomacy. His desire is to obtain the services of persons who know something of the countries to which they are accredited, such knowledge, in his estimation being prerequisite. Mr. J. W. A. Shaw, colored, of Flush in g,Tong Island, formerly editor of the Suffrag- "ist7 a democrat paper, devoted to the interests of the colored people of New York, applied to-day to the president to be appointed United, States Consul at Antigua, in the West Indies. Mr. Shaw ie indorsed by Mayor Grace and a large number of New York and and Queen counto (Long Island) leading Democrats. He is a native of Antigua and received a collegiate education there. Some of the Democratic politicians affect to-day to take no interest in the A writer in the Century characterizes Washington society thus: "Leaving aside the question of 'political morality, few people who have passed a winter in Washington will deny the chavm of its society. Acknowledging all its faults, its crudeness—narrowaess perhaps—and its lack of form, it must yet be acknowledged that it differs from {-all other American society—in -the fact that it is not founded on wealth. It is the only society which ia really repub lican, though it has little resemblance to the 'republican court'.of the first administration—the only one in America which has a well-detined basis. And that basis is public station, temporarily conferred, whether directly or indirectly, by the expressed wishes of fellowsmen. The holding of such public station _ ne£fissirily_^Liiipli^ "WEST END STORE, ?> LAKIN & SYKES. dYSHO MIHIAH3A3T New line of Spring Goods at E. A. Mann's. Ladies-and Gents' Shoes at E. A. Mann's. and such it is intelligence, ns distin* guished from lineage or wealth,, which is the fundamental basis in Washington's society. Such a society does not feel obliged to adopt certain customs because it is reported at second hand that they are in good form in London. Its opinions are robustly independent, its information is extensive, and its subjests of conversation are many and varied. "It is not to be imagined that such a society is well defined, or that its rules are clearly established—though it is true that the 'Etiquette of Social Life in Washington' has been most elaborately formulated in a little pamphlet, of which a fresh edition is perennially produced, and which is said to sell in great numbers. It is, undoubtedly, } open-te-tbe-eritieisra of- beh)g vaw, to the same extent—but no more—that aociety in London is subservient and' snobbish, and in New York illiterate and commercial: Nothing can be more ridiculous than the public levees of fcbe President, where the doors are thrown open that every person in tbe etreet may enter them in a crush, and stand in a slowly moving procession for two hours, in/order that during half a ruinute of thart'me the President may be seen and his arm may be wrenched. But this is not peculiar to Washington »lone. Such 'public receptions' are inflicted upon Presidents jn all cities which they visit. Hardly less incongruous are the Wednesday afternoon receptions of the wives of Cabinet officers, wnen their doors are alBO f. nominations the President may senoTfthrowjropen and hundreds of strangers in, saying that he is certain to name for every place some one they, have never heard ot, and the^ensation "of surprise has ceasesPto be a novelty. The hotel lobbies are practically deserted. ^ Many of the politicians have gone home disgusted, and a few have began to affect modesty. A down. i "•V / right office seeker is hardly tn he found. The latest method ior an ex-member of Congress who is after an appointment is to get his. friends to circulate the statement that they have been trying to get him to make a break for some thing, but that he is too modest to do i t This is expected to be^effective. The Indiana and Kentucky delegations tr«m>v4hrough their parlors 'to pay their res^ecte.' The wives of Judges and Senatorsand Representatives have to endure the same thing on other afternoons of the week. It has come to be considered as part of the price of puolt©4 itation. Eut, no matter what office a man may hold, no one may come to his/ dinner table without an invitation; And it is in dinners that Washington society excels, diplomats antE ers from every part of the worioi men distinguished in politicajU^tw, on the bench, and in war; nien of science and men of lettersj^wpmen of intelligence and cultuj^^mn the ii«tive grace and b?an^y-fbr which AmjKr can women are y celebrated-T^fi \w is no snoh wealth of choice in m o<her American city, and' there/arc L other dinner- Parties so entertaiui. v. as tboet of Washington." — ADVERTISE •in— THE DISPATCH.

Mr. arke also has two orders from Jackson County for 40,000 brook trout and will bring them next wo^thefirst order ever made by Jackaon for thia apeotea of fish. Mr. Marks says the fieh are at free as water to all oountiee in the state where the > conditions are favorable for their culture. He ia an enthusiast on the aubleot and knows more about the nature, habits and tricks ot flah than some whole families. To the CittMns' representative he cheerfully described the location and progress of the ah hatchery at Paris, near Big Rapids. ThJa, ke Bays, is the acaeon for planting brook trout.

On the morning of the 1st inst, the men all resumed work. Eddie Waddell, a lad 6 years old, living with his grandmother, Mrs. M. Higgins, on Prison street, Jackson, while playing with a revolver, accidentally shot Nellie Gleason, a girl about 13, and hia aunt. The revolver was a small twenty-two six-shooter of the cheapest kind, but it made a dangerous wound. Tne bullet entered the left side ot the lower jaw and followed the bone round to the center of the ohin, where it is firmly lodged in the bone. Dr. North dresaed the wound, but concluded it was not aafe to attempt to remove the ball until the hemof^ rage subsides. The little boy who caused all this trouble, when asked about the ahooting, said he didn't mean to hurt Nellie; he wanted to play with the rtvolver and didn't suppose it would shoot. J. K.

The party consisted ot four men and three women, one of the latter a young girl. All but the girl were Ire a an dead.

A Nice Point in Ethics. A Sensible Bealtri Official thus placo a a physician, BALTIMORE, M I X — A decided stir has been caused here over the question as to the rifcht of a physician to certify to the merits of a remedy not in the modern pharmacopoeia. Dr. James A Steuart, one of the most eminent physicians in the South aud Health Conimistoner of this oity, had analyzed a newly discovered article, and certified officially, not only to its its efficacy but to the fact that it replaced old time preparations of a similar character which analysis had proved, wero adultrated and poisonous. The Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, of which ho is a member, held that he had violated the code of medical ethics, and much public intorost was aroused bocauso bf the eoutidenco felt both in his professional standing aud oflieial integrity It was arguod thjit to limitation on the ucis of and especially of a health "officer, was opposed to the spirit of the age? that such reasoning might have teen logical enough when it was to the interest of rulers or societies to invest themselves with a supernatural halo, but now when thought should be free and untrammeled, such things savored of barbarism. It 1 was the duty of a physician, especially of a health oflicejr, to condemn publicly any remedy whioh he knew to be injurious, bufcit was not right to say that he sJhotSTd be debarred from testifying ttf the merits of anything whicirhe knew to be good. If this ,w«fe so, the world would not reogive the benefit of half the djs_coveri_e_s made in art or science. Thus the peo pie argued, while the faculty threatened expulsion and talked of time-honored- customs, ethics, professional courtesy and traditions. But the matter soon assumed a new and shrprising phase. A few days afterwards a certiticate appeared in the daily papers bearing the autograph signatures of Gov. McLane, Attorney- General Roberts, Mayor Latrobe, City Postmaster Adreon, chiefs of-state aadmmiicipal departments, Judges--and- Clerks of Courts, Federal officials and Congressmen, emphatically endorsing the action of the Health Commissioner, and concurring in his opinion as to the efficacy of the remedy, asserting that they did so from personal experience with it and practical tosta and ob - servations. There could be no gainsaying such evidence as this, but, as if to^cap the climax, shortly afterward? there appeared another certificate with autograph signatures of leading practicing physicians from all parts of the state, including the phj sicians of all the leading hospita^r^h^^hystewn to-the—Gt^p Fire JOfipartment, the Port p*hysician, vaccine physician and. resident physicians of infirmaries, all endorsing the discovery and stating that it "had" been tested by them in hospitals, and private practice for weeks with wonderful curative effect, and that analysis had shown no trace of opiates or poisons, prevalent in other cough mixtures. Theyjfurther stated that they had been induced to takejthis stop in view of the many hurtful preparations which contained narcotics and poisons and of the dangers consequent on their use. The remedy in question is Red Star Cough Cure. Such a conclusive answer as this tothe^' narrow arguments of the: few, arrayed public sentiment on the side of the Health Commissioner, and it is significant that Dr. Steuart has since been appointed to office by the Mayor for a third term, and has had his appoint* ment unanimously confirmed by the City Council. Owing to the high professional reputation of the gentlemen who endorsed his action, as well as to the enviable standing of the owners of the remedy, The Charles A, Vogeler Company of this city, wide-spread interest has already been created in the subject, not only here, but in Philadelphia, Washington and other neighboring cities. The feeling is generally expressed by prodren were Inside, made several efforts to 'eater the burning building, reotiviag serious iojuriea.

This is the pronounced opinion of authorities like Dr. Fawcett, who has been for thirty-three years resident physician of the Union Protestant Infirmary, in this city, and Prof. John J. Caldwell, M. D., member of medical societies of Baltim o r e , New York and Brooklyn, and <wi£h~a long experience in civil and military hospitals. Both of these gentlemen, together with no less than fifty other practicing physicians of Maryland, have publiclv put themselves on record as to the evil of narcotic medicinea, and the consequent value and importance of the new discovery referred to. It is conceded that public opinion has completely vindicated Dr. Steuart in his action, and that in his whole course he was actuated simply by an earnest desire to benefit the community at large.

I spoke, Wben at tbe th-nt word the sweet damael With one little gasp straight awcke. "What brought you here, fair little angel!" She answered with voice like a bell: "I turn toe Pre dot a sick mamma. And I want oo' to please pray her well."

They listened, amaeed at my story, And wept at their darling's strange quest, While the arms of tna pale loving mother Drew the brave little head to her breast.

' >Do you think that father could be persuaded to buy mo a guitar and let me take a terra or two of lessons P" asked Clara, the eldest daughter of the Petersons, raising her eyes, as she spoke, from The algebra she was apparently studying. "1 do want to learn to play so much, and a guitar is not such a very —expensive-—instrumentr-She- added, coaxingly. "That is true," was the mother's reply, "but it was only yesterday that your father told me how dull his business had been for the past few months, so I am afraid he would hardly'consent just now. Our expenses at home haye been heavier since I hurt my hand — we've had to raise Jane's wages, you know.1" •'"Well, when school is oyti, let me take Jane's placo and let /father give me the monc y hu pays her'- I couldn't do the washing, but a^er tbe price of that is deducted, there- will still . be a dollar a week ^ have. What do you say, mother? May IP" asked Clara, eagerly. «'Icouldjtar for my guitar and a few lessonsJjesides, during the vacation." "1 do not doubt you-cduld get along very well with jthe"work," roturned Mrs. Peterson. " "I'll speak to your fatherjkbout it." . >*It would be so nice to feel that I 'am earning something for myself ! " was Clara's comment, as she gathered up her* book and slate, "and I think I should like it better than teaching school. When I got my certificate this spring I thought it would be an easy matter to step right •into a placo to do something, but I didn't know that for every school there were as many applicants as there are pupils, and when that source failed I was quite in despair; but if I can take .fltme'q pift^fl ftr>d ft*"-" money it will be the very thing," and tbe young girl's face brightened at the thought. Mr. Peterson did not manifest any iparticular-interest in the plan when it was broached to him, but as he was never enthusiastic about anything, his wife was obliged to bo content "Clara's heart is set on a guitar, James," said she. " S h e c a n just as well do the housework this summer, as not, and have the money t o spend as sho-pteaaas. only don t forget that if she earns it, it Takersrjust a s m u c h a s if she were- a stranger who was working for us. fancy odd pieces of majolica, suoh as they usually kept only for company U3e, were now converted into every day luxuries without the fear that a careless kitchen maid would break them entirely or destroy their beauty by nicking their thin edges. "Anybody would think that we were going to have a party every day," said little Alice, as she gazed admiringly at the bright castor and clean, shining cruets freshly filled each morning. "We are having the poetry of housekeeping; thaj is all," replied Mrs. Peterson. "The prose got too awfully prosy, didn't it, motherP said Rob, laughingly^ " I can stand prose, on a pinch, as well as any other boy but the way Jane used to slap the dishes and eatables on the table was a caution! Half the time with no spoons in the spoonholder and egg sticking between the fork prongs —ugh! here was prose for a fact." "Do you know the reason she was so carelessP" interrupted Clara savagely. "It was because nothing here belonged to her. If she had owned the dishes she would have been careful. When she has a house of her own it will be different—she won't whack and bang as she does now." "When I used to sse her washing up the tea things I always felt like singing, kThe Ox broke in to the China Shop,' " said Bob. "Por thing! her fingers were too thick to handle nice dishes." No crumbs disfigured our table-cloth now-a-days—no jumping up and running after long-forgotten articles; the concomitants of the table were neatness and order, which made the plainest meal palatable. The coffee was quite equal to that concocted by Jane; the steak was so juicy that Mr; Peterson several times affirmed that McBlung, the butcher, kept better meats than formerly; the seed cake, of wLich he was very fond, was pronounced superior tQ anything they had had for / a twelvemonth; one or two /flew kinds of desert were introduced/and more than once enquired for by the 'head of the house hr such away as to show the young girl that nor father, relished tho nice fare provided for him. But not a word about^imying Lhe_.guLtar—notji_ did not shine as they used to when Clara did the work. These and similar uncomplimentary remarks were every-day occurrences, and led Jane to think that Clara's ways had completely spoiled the Peterson family. Mrs. Peterson, who found the house lonely without the companionship of the eldest daughter, and deprived by her crippled hand from taking an active part in the household duties, now spent an afternoon frequently at the little store of which her husband was proprietor. One sultry day as she sat there; a plain looking woman alighted from a wagon in front of the door, and entering the store, asked to be shown some men's ready made clothing. "They are for my boy," she explained. "I've been promising him all the spring he should have a good suit o' clothes this year. He's worked awful hard and he's earned 'em. JHis father is clear set agin letting him nave 'em, but I hain't the heart to disappoint a good stiddy feller like our John, and so I come in to-day to get 'em. • hint regarding Clara's wages! "Here's my chance, mother!" exclaimed tbe^'youug housekeeper one day, coming with a copy of a city daily into the room where Mr3. Peterson was seated. "Father owes me six dollars, as it is just sii weeks to-day 9inco I began the housework, and there is a guitar advertised for six "dollars, instruction book thrown in. Will you tell father about it and get the morey for me wherh he comes to dinner? The owner says it has only been used two months. It is a good chance, and I will send for it to-morrow," and in raightrgg well ^anticipation of the pleasure in store, Clara skipped off gaily to the kitchen, there to mAnifesi, har gratithrift by preparing the most savory dishes she could think of. _ - Mrs. Peterson uttered a little sigh as the door closed after her daughter. Eighteen years association with Mr. Peterson had taught her the difficulty of the task before ber. He was a good husband; what a pity that he couldn't bo made to see things differently! "Six dollars for a guitar ! Why, you and Clara must think I'm And^don't she get pay in elotbes and board P It's her duty,-as it is the duty of every boy or girl, to work," was her husband's reply. " That is all true, James, but still it inspires a better feeling in children, besidecultivating business habits in them, to let them feel that they are earning something, be it ever so little. And then i Ms a very comfortable thing to have money once in a while to spend just as one pleases, and not to have to beg or coax for a dime There is something: degrading in that." said the ladv, a little tinge of red mounting to ber cheek as if the remembrance of some experience of that kind had left an un pleasant feeling in her own heart. " Yes, yes ; all very nice ! " growled Mr. Poterson, sarcastically. "I'd like to feel comfortable myself in tho way yon speak of, and have a few dollars to spend just as £ please." and he stalked off, muttering something about the unreasonableness of womankind. Household matters under the new regime worked weil. The pretty gilthanded china tea set whioh they had never dared to use when Jane was "smashing things in the kitchen," as Robby expressed it, were brought out from the high shelf in the dining-room closet—tho crackled glass pitcher of delicate amber tint that Mrs. Peterson prized as one of her choicest table treasures' came to light from the1 homer to which ft Had been.relegated for fdar of disaster when it had been discovered that'Jane bfed occasionally used it to dip water with in the kitchen, and little Ipjetty, and why the goblets #and spoons macU of money ' was the impatient comment of the husband, as Mrs. Peterson read him the advertisement and told him of Clara's wishes. " I haven't any money to spend for suoh triffles!" "But James, when Jane was here you paid hor regularly every month, and oftener. if she needed it. without demurring to it, and I'm sure Clara has rendered us really more effective service," persisted the mother. "Nothing more than her duty." was the careless response. Then sinkirg into his arm chair, he began a perusal of the morning paper, and in two minutes had forgotten the whole subject. Hot tears rolled down the flushed face of the disappointed Clara, as she overheard the conversation from the diningroom, where she was engaged in placing the dinner on the table. Upon the plea of a bad-headache- she—excused herself from the family, and in the privacy cf her own room "took a good cry." Very bitter were her thoughts, and in her anger at what «he deemod her father's injustice, she lost sight,6f the many kindnesses and the real affections ha had l>3- stowed upon her. She went about her work in aligtiessway, quite in contrast with her former cheerfulness, but her min'l was busy in planning another way • to oarry out hor project. She enquired of every farmer she knew, wrote to those whose names and address she could get hold of, and niad* applica tion for a position as teacher for the late summer term of a country school. Ten days after, her efforts were rewarded by an engagement at a Salary of $18 a month as instructor for eight weeks at a school tivo miles from Milford, the village in which she lived. Twenty-four dollars of this must be deducted for board, leaving her just $12 lor her services, "enough to buy a guitar, any way," was her grim comment z& she announced to the family that she was going to teach the remainder of the summer. The next week she left home to begin her new work, and Jane was reinstated in the kitchen at the Peterson's, but she found the family had, somehow, grown hard to please. "I wish you'd have Jane make some cookies like those Clara used to make;" or. " suppose, Jane, that you broil the steak hereafter, the way Clara did," Mr. Peterson would say; Johnnie and Rob ~anTr~Attce were not backward iu asking her such uncomf or table questions as why she didn't set the table That's right, Mrs. Stillman; I can suit you exactly." replied Mr. Peterson, as he briskly pulled out his goods to exhibit, recognizing in his customer the wife of a wealthy farmer in that vicinity. "You see, our John has been worth his weight in gold to us this year," said the old lady, turning to Mrs. Peterson. '' Our best hand took sick and so John was called on to the double share—and he's took more interest and served us better than any hand we had on the farm. He's a bashful boy, but kind o' high in his notions about keeping himself fixed np, and-one day, says he, *' mother, I ain't got no clothes fit to go to town m or a t t e a i singing school or church ; so I want you to coax pap to get me some this summer. I'll work hard to earn 'em,' says he* and sure enough he has." " And his father consented ? " asked Mrs. Peterson, who had grown interested in the boy's struggles. " Not much he didn't!" was the old lady's answer. " I ain't good at argyment as some folks, but I did tell him that it was rediklus to refuse to pay John, just because Tiei was his son^ if he'd ben a stranger, sez T, you would have forked over the pay without a word; and yet no stranger would a' dun for you this summer what John has done." Her attention was drawn this moment to an inspection of the various coats, vests and pantaloons which the shopkeeper was dextrously placing before her. " I want to get him something that'll please him, and this fifteen dollar suit would jest about tickle him to pieces, but I won*t have a cent to pay for it in cash, Mr. Peterson. You'll have to take it in trade. Fur—mskiug a right smart lot of butter now, and I'll bring you all the eggs I gather, and if you want to ship chickens, I have some coming on; so it won't oe long till the clothes,is paid for." "Oh, a rich man like Mr. Stillman can afford to pay cash for such goods as these," replied Mr. Peterson, who was reluctant to take the produce and yet anxious to make the sale. "Of course he oould, but he ain't doing the buying of these clothes, as I was explaining" to this lady a minute ago. He says John hain't any need of a dress-up suit; but, la! the boy says he can't respect himself if he is forced to wear his old rags all the time, and it's true; the clothes a farmer works in ain't fit to wear for any other purpose; so when I found Stillman was so stubborn and it was having such a bad effect upon John. I concluded to take the master in hand myself. Why, the boy had built up so on these clothes, that when his father refused so positive, poor John actually lost his appetite. He worked right along, but it was in a sort of joyless, heartbreakin' way. I tell you, it pays in aD economical pinto' view to have,people around you that are hopeful and cheer* ful. If thev think they have t o ' d r a g along forever, and never have a dollar of their own to spend as they like it operates agin their work; so I wasn't long in making up my mind that John must have the clothes, if 1 had to pay for 'em with my butter money. "You see," lowering her yoioe to a confidential key and address:ng her sympathetic listener. " I was the more determined to do it because ftwas just such actions that drove away our oldest boy from home. He was a good deal like John, only fonder o' bo-sks and reading. Well, nothing would do Joe but. he must have a'dictionary. He begged and begged for it. He said everybody ought to own au unabridged, and that filirandy and Kato would grow up to be as ignorant as horses if they wasnjt encouraged to study and pickup information, but dear me! when Stillman heard the price o' them big dictionaries was ten or twelve dollars, he just put his foot down on ft, and that settled the matter. Well. then, Joe got to planning and made his father promise not to hire a certain extra hand that season, and he would do double, and the poor fellow liked to have killed himself working, and after all, Stillman wouldn't buy the book, nor pay him wages so that he could buy it. The upshot of it w a r That Joe gotrtledrapand went right off In the middle of the summer and hired out to old man Billings, whoso farm joins ours, and Billings told me he never in his life saw suoh a worker. made it up and were good friends agin, but he's never been at home very much since. He worked summers and taught school winters, and peddled fruit trees in vacation. At last he got to college, and now he's been reading law, and 5s going to be admitted to practice, and no thanks to us nor nobody. But don't you see how hard Stillman has made it for the poor boy? Folks say it has been a good drill and helped to make a man of Joe, but his heart never will feel just the same toward his father as if he'd showed some svmpathy and had patience with him. Yom see folks as has children must be patient with their whims sometimes. It ain't agoin' to hurt us, and it makes them happier, So you can see now," she added, brightening up and taking up her bundle, "just why I want to humor John with these clothes. People are often unjust to their children and drive 'em awey fr^db home, but they generally live to find that no stranger will ever do for them and take an interest in saving for 'em like their Own would/'— He paid him good wages, too, and poor Joe got his book at last, but it made b i r father mad, and so he told Joe he couldn't come back any more: It nearly upset me. l w a s poorly for a long time, , bbuutt finally Joe and his father Shaking hands with her auditors, the old lady clambered^ into her wagon, and giving a farewell friendly nod, drove away. \ "She's a good talker isn't sheP" was Mr. Peterson's comment, as the wagon and its quant old driver disappeared around a corner. "She's a genuine philosopher! 1 haven't heard as many practical truths in months as she gave us in that little talk," replied Mrs. Peterson, heartily. "Oh, she's a sensible woman; but just think of that contemptible old reprobate refusing to pay that boy for his hard work! It's a shame for anyone to aet so," said the shopkeeper indignantly. "The boy she speaks of is a"~good, hard-working fellow; scarcely ever leaves the farm, and when he does, attends to his business without any fooling. His father better be generous, or at least humor him once in a while, or maybe he'll lose his services altogether, just as he did Joe'«. The old lady reasoned pretty well about humoring a child's fancies occasionally.'' "Do you really think so, James?" asked his wife, eying him keenly as she spoke. __ ' W h y , certainly I do, Julia! lVhat makes you look at me so queerly?" said Mr. Peterson, beginning- to look uncomfortable under her steady gaze. " I was just thinking how natural it is to see the mote in our brother's eye and yet not pluck the beam out of our own eye," was her quiet answer. "What under the sun do you mean, Julia? I don't understand your conundrums," said Mr. Peterson hotly. "What have 1 done to my children that bears a resemblance to old Siillman's treatment of his boys?" k 'lhe cases are not parallel, but that the principle involved is Bttueh the-same you must admit when you think it over. Did not Clara beg us to discharge Jane this summer, .that she might earn the moneyv and didn't-sho do the work to your entire satisfaction? Did she not do it so Well that you have never been quite well satisfied since with Jane's cooking? She wanted a guitar and expected to spend her earnings for it; you regarded it as only a whim and thought it was a needless expense and refused her; and only just a moment ago you endoried all that Mr. Stillman said about humoring our chllderen's fancies occasionally. Then perhaps you didn't notice, although I did, how the disappointment hurt Clara. She worked on but all the sparkle and life was gone out of it. She knew if it had been Jane, you would have paid the wages without a word, and she began to suspect you of being unjust. Then like poor Joe Stillman, she left home to. work for others where she would be sure to get her pay. You have never objected to paying Jane since Clara's departure, but there is never a day passes that you do not draw some uncomplimentary comparison between her methods of serving up- y«ur meals and the way Clara did. Stillman drove off his own son by his injustice and had to fill his place by a stranger who cared nothing for his interests and consequently was,not so valuable to him. I only hope the analogy ends t h e r e , ' s h e added, with a tremor in her voice. "Joe never returned to his father's house—he became alienated and as the old mother said, although they made it all up, his heart will never feel just the same toward his father. If you do not see some resemblanco between the two cases, James, it is because you will not not." It would be difficult to describe the various emotions experienced by Mr. Peterson during his wife's speech. First, hot With anger, he could with difficulty restrain a sharp reply. But as she went on his feelings softened, recognizing the truth of her words, untU at last, when she touched tremblingly on the hope, implied rather spoken that Clara's absence from home would not be a lasting one as in the case of Joe Stillman, he turned away with a half groan. Retiring to the back end of the store, he seat-- ed himself in his old easy chair and gave himself np to such a self-searching as ho had never done before; his wife meanwhile had quietly slipped out, wisely leaving the leaven to work. "Stillman could afford to get his boy a dictionary, for he's rich—owns two or three^ig farms,** he aTgued,^fr7tcg" to satisfy himself that he was justified in not paying Clara her wages. N o - it would not do. He could not answer all the objections, and at last he w convinced that he had oeen Ujfr-fjer petrator of a wrong just asir^jHjnas had been the man whom h*-ifad so loudly denounced as a^fontemptible old reprobate." JflFfiTle he felt humiliated, he couldJ>«tackowledge that his wife had done him a genuine service In thus bringing him face to face with his fault, and as he walked slowly homeward he resolved that the lesson should not be lost. The cheeriest feature of his daily life and one of the brightest welcomes ! to his hearthstone that winter, was the pleasant sound of a tinkling guitar, accompanied by the sweet voices of Clara and little Alice; and in their pleasure, he realized, as he had never done before, at what a little outlay can sometimes be procured a happiness that is pure and ensuring. » L o n d o n ' s Grift t o Michigan. There has just been received at the Michigan State Library "London's Boll of Fame," a magnificent quarto, the gift of the Corporation of the city of London. The book contains the complimentary notes and addresses from the city of London on presentation of the honary freedom of that city and other occasions to royal personages, statesmen, patriots, warriors, Arctic explorers, discoverers, philanthropists and scientific men, with their replies and acknowledgements, from 1757 to 1884. ~ There is in connection with the main records of the volume, a historical introduction, covering the period named, in all of which the city of London has play6d an honorable part. Th that part of the introduction which refers to the Revolutionary war it a p - pears that the Common Council of London cordially seconded the great En glish statesman, the Earl of Chatham, and Mr. Burke in proposing to the government of that day reconciliation with the American colonies, but tbe council's remonstrance and petition only brought severe reprimands from the King. In September-lTTdS thecom- •mon council received from the Ame'ri - can congress a letter gatefully acknowl/ edging their repeated efforts withlihe Bong and Parliament on behalf of the colonies, whereupon the wise and kindly- hearted brethren in London again petitioned the King to suspend hostilities, but without success. The great city has alway a been inclined to acknowledge the ties "of friendship with America, and we may take it that the book just received at the state library, being one of the very Tew copies Tent to this country, is a token of good will to Michigan. The city has also delighted to honor in a formal way, by the presentation of its freedom, Andrew Stevenson, United {States minister to the Court of St. James in 1838, Geerge Peabodv in 1862, and Gen. Grant in 1877, as "distinguished Americans. Stevenson was given the freedorp of the city in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas. He declined both because in his capacity of representative of the United States government he cuuld not receive presents from foreign powers. One^ther instance of the ^leelinat box is recorded—that of Baron Grantley, speaker of the house of commons in 1777. It appears to be an incident that occurs only once in half a century. Gen. Grant, in his reply to the address of the Lord Mayor on the occasion of the presentation to him in the noble old Guild Hall of London, said, " I believe this honor is intended quite as much forthe country which I have had the opportunity of serving in different capacities as for nrj se f, and I am glad that this is so, becai se I want to see the happiest relations existing not only between the United States and Great Britain but also between the United States and all other nations. Although a soldier by education and profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war and I have never advocated it except as a means for peace. I hope that we shall always settle our differences in all future "negotiations' as amicably as wo did in a recent instance. I believe that settlement has had a happy effect on both countries and that from month to month ^ n d year to year the tie of common civilization and common blood is getting stronger between the two countries." T h e m ' E r e L e g s . A son of tho Granite state went down to Memphis to seek his fortune. Ho found instead a diarrh<nar whuyh gr*i?n. ally saps life in a chronic form. It was with this that poor Jim Bagley was picked up. And month after month it tugged until at length he was but the mere outline of his former self — a perfect skeleton. A worthy minister saw the poor fellow, and seeing that the king of terrors had spotted,him, determined to call on him and offer spiritual consolation. He broached the important subject somewhat thus: "My dear Mr. Bagley, in view of your relations of this life, how do you feel?" " D n sick." was tho prompt reply. «' Don't swear, my poor friend," said the parson. "And then let me ask yon if you ever think of your latter endP*' " L o r d ! " said Bagley, " I hain't thought of nothin' else for the last three months.' > rt " Not, I'm afraid in the right way, Mr. Bagley. I beg you to pause and reflect. It is time you began to wrestle with the Lord." The sick man looked down^-tfp his miserable poker legs, extwrded before him, and with an exnpetslott or amazement on his counWnanoe, exclaimed •.

At present he was engaged in sawing wood for a gentleman near by, and managed to spend his money for drink about as fast as he earned it. Mr. Eldredge, having been directed, then sought out the man in question, whon: he-found in that healthful oocupatiou, and at onoe recognized him as a man of English birth, which greatly increased Ms hopes of success. After a serios of flotations were answered-by " Old Ag," It became very apparent to Mr. Eldredg* fhat he was the same person he was look 4ng for, notwithstanding his forlorn and 'dilapidated appearance. Finally Mr. Eldredge—who, bv the way, is an Eng- Uati gentleman of the strictes type— temiured the remark : "Well 'OldAg,' as they seem to call you here, allow me bo introduce myself as your cousin Rod- •ery Eldredge. I have come to tell yon that your old father, Lord Branningsferdk is dead, and that you are heir to fourfifths, of his estate, which is about |2,000,000.« To say that "Old Ag," was - startled by the unexpected news .would not express one half, and the scene whioh followed can be better imagined than described. Lord Branningsford, who was very wealthy, had two sons, one named Ldonald and the other Agernon. In 1847 Libnald was married to a young lady of high birth by the name of Elizabeth Stratton. Agernon was a frequent visitor at the family residence, and owing to a quarrel between the two brothers over the young wife Agernon em- {Marked for America, and arrived in San Francisco in the fall of 1850.

Learn the little coots to "crow" as early as possible. Take them in your Lands and tosa thorn up as high as you can and jounce their digestive organs all out of place. This is a genuine "raise" of children.

This will give the little one some idea of the way of getting on in the world in later years, '"••• It is a good plan to hurry up a child in the matter of walking. The sooner a child walks the more bow-legged and irrepressible he will be when he grows up. Just the moment the child lets go its mother's apron-strings plant it in the neighbor's front yard. This will save your own lawn, while the little fellow digs up the turf and carries away the lawn of the neighbor in his little red wheelbarrow. Train the child to|"appear" in company.

This performance did not entirely satisfy him, for in his mind there lnrked a suspicion that his wife might fancy him to be drunk. In looking around for another test he discovered the water-bucket. He knew that to bring fresh water, beyond a doubt, would settle the question of his so feriety, so he took up the bucket and wont ctot to the well. Feeling around and not rinding the "moss-covered ticket," but deciding that it mu&t be at the bottom of t'ho well, he began to ttirn the windlass. For fifteen minutes he turned the crank.

The results, contrary to public belief, have proven remarkably successful. From these mares, weighing from 700 to 900 pounds, when bred to imported Percheron stallions, are produced horses that possess about oneatf -the ttnitedr^weight-ol-sire_aiid dam, and while partaking of the characteristics of the sire, they lose none of the endurance and hardihood of the dam, selling readily for from $100 to $200. As the vast herds of the long-horned gaunt Texas cattle, worth from 2 to 8 cents a pound, that appeared on our market a few years since, have been improved by the use of short-horn and Hereford bulls until we scarcely recognize the blood-like looking steers, worth from ft to 6 cents a pound, now coming from the range as their descendants; so may we expect that the useless horses that are being brought from the West and southwest and sold through the States at from $25 to $50 a head, will soon be displaced in our markets by their descendants of tripple their value being of sufficient size to wovk, and showing the character and docility of their sires. One of the best evidences of the success of this method of breeding is deducted from the fact that M. W. Dunham, of Wayne, 111., the greatest importer of dratt horses in America, and from whose stables have gone out nearly all the pure bred Percheron stallions now in breeding upon Western ranges, and who has had the benefit of th<> experience ot all those who have DOORS & BLINDS, GLASS, NAILS, PAINT, ?0M AND ALL KINDS Or BUILDING MATERIAL AT F.

SAYS the Lewiston, Maine, Journal: The clergymen of Portland have united in a request that the newspapers of that city suppress the details of criminal reports. The Christian Mirror says the Apostle "Paul said of the heathenish vices prevalent in his day, "It is a shame even to speak of the things that are done of them in secret." The Mirror "hopes that the plea will reach not only the details of crime, but all that grossness in language and style which has sometimes been erroneously mistaken for smartness." The end at which these clergymen aim, is praiseworthy—namely, that —everything which ministers to a prurient curiosity, to vice, to evil of every sort, should be suppressed. But to suppressall particulars of crime, is not to effect this end. The public have a right to insist that newspapers give them the news, but they equally have the right to insist that the details of crimes shall bo so narrated as to show vice in i u hideous deformity rather than a pretty nice thing, with dramatic, sensational attractive features. We cannetf^shut our eyes to the fact tha£>we ara in the midst of a good dgaVot wickedness, and we can uotprtJtect oursolves against wickedness by shutting our eyes. Virbetter than innocericy. The publicity of crime, the publicity of the consequences of crime, are important factors in preventing crime. Many a newspaper has thus materially contributed to ferreting out the c riminftl. Many a boy has found his soul revolting at drunkenness, not only at the sight of it but at the accounts of the sad consequencas of alcoholism which newspapers dai)y supply. The publicity of nauseating and unnecessary details of crime, doubtless, is tho offense against which the Portland clergy rightly pro^ test.

"Topics of the Time," in the Century. A natural phenomenon of tho proportions of Niagara constitute a public trust. The people cannot escape responsibility for its care and preservation, even if they would. The experiment of private" ownership and management of the lands abont the Falls has been fully tried, under circumstances more favorable than can ever exist in the future, and has failed completely. Tbe existing state of things is one which no intelligent person can defend. The demoralization is,natural and inevitable; competition between the owners of "rival points of view," naturaly develops a teudenoy to the employment of tawdry, sensational attractions. The increasing ugliness everywhere; the destruction of all vernal beauty and freshness; the crowding of unsightly structures for manufactures of various kinds around the very brink of the Falls; the incessant hounding of travelers, and the enormous exactions of which they are the viatims,—all these evils are inseparable from the system of private ownership of thj land, and nothing could be moj or fruitless than to find fault-wtth indi viduals because the resnifs of the sysrarer at^agTeejLbioandmischievous. The on Ij^practicable remedy is ownership Ijy^fho state^ and suitable perguardianship over these lands, such provision for the safety, convenience, and comfort of myriads ol visitors as can be supplied only by a competent directory clothed with the authority of the state and acting in the interest o f tho general community. This- is the object of the measures rec^ ommended by the commissioners appointed by Governor (now president) Cleveland in the spring of 1883. These commissioners have selected about 118 acres of land contiguous to I the Falls, comprising Goat Island and all the other, islands in the river, with a* narrow strip of land on the "American shore," running from the upper suspension bridge* to Port Day, and including Prospect park. The various separate portions constituting tract have been appraised, and^btte supreme court has cohfirjn«athe appraisement, which fijwsithe value of the lands in question at $1,433,429.50. The comm1s>kmers recommend the appropriaJ* onof this sum by the legislatupfr- forthe purohase of these lands, nd the establishment of a state reservation, as the only means of preserving thoaoonory of Niagara.—The highest interests of the people of our state will be promoted bv the passage of the bill in which this plan is embodied. There is no giound-r for Apposition except what ia sordid, and noatile to public spirit. No man in publicise will hereafter be able to feel pride or satisfaction in the remembrance that he resisted the endeavor of the people of the state of New York to rescue the scene' ry of Niagara from destruction.

Louis Democrat. * A Richmond, Ky., dispatch dated March 28, contains the following incidents whioh show some peculiar!tes which human nature seems heir to: For a dozen years a strange man, known as Hermit Smith, has made his home in the eastern part of this coun try, about twelve miles from here. From whence he came nobody knows, nor would any one have cared save for his wild mode of living. He was apparently about 40 years of age when first noticed. He had onoe possessed a bright mind, with considerable knowledge of the world, but had been mentally wrecked. His a p - pearance did not indicate strong drink, ^ and he was neither idle nor lazy. * Oc- • casionally he labored on farms, but . most generally spent his time in hunting, and he hunted for meat and not for fun. His life and happiness seemed to depend on his hunting. He disliked a house. In summer a grassy plot was his epuehy and the starry-heavens-W-ere his covering, lnjwinjtejr'he dug a hole in the ground, or constructed tho most primitive house of sticks. He ate meat almost exclusively, especially in winter, and his bill- of fare embraced, a greater variety than that of any other human being—to-wit: opossums, coons, ground-hogs, skunks, rabbits, squirrels, .rats, tjirtles.^errapins, fish, snakes, frogs, all kinds of birds, and semi-occasionally a hog or sheep. In the summer time ha indulged in fruit, berriesr corn and a few other things. He often talked of how he lived when among: the Indians, and frequently spoke of Lake Minnetonka, the city of Minneapolis the Missourt-^+ver^ and such other-plaees— and things as indicated a former residence in the Northwest. Hi& nautical ' expressions were evidence of a familiarity with seamen. But no one ever succeeded in discovering any facts tnat would throw light on his strange career. The local newspapers have time and again written him up and many have been the letters sent to metropolitan journals describing him and his exceedingly primitive mode of -living. On last Friday, when the southbound train on tho Kentucky Central Railroad slowed-up-at the depot here, a stranger stepped out and enquired for a livery stable. Upon being shown one he said his name was Daniel Smith, from Washington County, Maine, and he wished to be* driven to the residence of Mr. A. W. Hisle, iD the country, up- <*n whose farm he expected to find a long lost brother. Mr. Smith had happened upon a newspaper paragraph, which induced him to make the journey. On Saturday moning, in company with Mr. Hisle and a photographer, Mr. Smith wended his way as the farm to a secluded spotr^where sat the s m a l l e s t _ stic^htf| in which perhaps any man>ver lived—six feet long, three wideband three high, being s h a p e d l i k e u i e letter J A_ The photogjsftpher adjusted his machine, Mr. lisle called the hermit from his den, and the affecting scene of a joyous, vet sad meeting, was instantaneously photographed from life.- The heitmife proved^ o be Capt Leroy Smith, a native of Nova Scotia, who went to sea when a young man, grew to be a captain of a sailing vessel, made seven trips to Europe, sailed along the Mediterranean, visited Jerusalem and many other famous places in the Old World. His mind becoming deranged, he retired wilh his taaHlyr-to—Washington- couniy^JM aine, which lies next to the New Brunswickline, and escaped from there twenty years ago, since which' time he has not been Reen or his whereabouts known. His children are all grown, and they and his wife, possessed of a sufficiencj this world's goods, anxiouslyawait his return.

The third assistant eyed the stranger suspioiously and ventured the remark: •• What can I do for you to-dayP" 41 Do for me? " said the stranger inquiringly, •* nawthing; hut jon am lend me a hand in the cause,of humanity and the Irish people by, rushing, my patent through, so it can be put into operation at once." The uaaistaut patent "hustler" mumbled something about waiting one's turn aud then uieokiy inquirud the nature of the sttauger's invention. "It ain't exactly an 'vention," came the reply in a decidedly Fenian accent., "It's Flaiinigan's patent destroyer of British men, material and machinery, and it's recommended by O'Donuovan Bofisa as better than anything in the bomb or torpedo lino that ho has yet struck— explodes easier and does more real pulvunziug and disintegrating." By this time iho Third Assistant and his three clerks had made a quiet and quick ilank movement towards tho aoor. .Reaching which, they were brought face to face witb a largo red label on the other side of the can and their worst suspicions were verified. They were in the august presence of a real dynamiter. The next instant the whole force wero scurrying down the hallway towards the street door as though the old boy was on their trail with a red-hot pitchfork. They had been ignominiously routed by a red Iabelfwhich said in ha4f4nch^p:een_. letters: Six lbs. Dynamite, Flannigan's Destroyer. Handle with Great Care. "Them fellers are Englishmen," oh- - served the stranger with a broad Celtic grin, as he picked up the can to depart; "or they'd never have run like frightened sheep.from an empty tin can, even iftrwaslabTslBdrdynarnit^wrtiioxit-grring a fellow a chance to explain himself x»n a scientific subject." . 1 . MiBUsed Christian Names. Oliver Wendell Holmes in Atlantic. "Frank" is a very pretty, pleasant Bounding name; and it is ^ not strange that many persons use it in common conversation all their days when speaking of a friend. Were they really christened by that name, any of these TuimPfmiH Franks? Perhansjjiov were, and if so there is nothing to/bTT'saTaT But if not, was the baptismal name Francis or Franklin? The mind is a to fasten in a very perverso^aiidruiipleasant way upon this question, wh, too often there is nQi^o^ible^wtty of settling. Onemjgnt h o p e r " he outlived the>eafe^6T^eappellation, to getaPthofact; but since even gravewrtones have learned to use the names belonging to childhood and infancy in their "solemn record, the generation which docks its Christian names in such an un-Christian way will bequeath whole churchyards full of riddles to posterity.; How it will puzzle and distress the historians and antiquarians of a coming generation to settle what was the real name of Dan and Bert and "Billy,"whicb last is legible on a white marble slab, raised in memory of a grown person, in a certain burialeround in a town in Essex county! CAN BE HAD IF WANTED. "Have you any malaria here?" asked a lady who was looking at a rural boarding-place for her- family. "Well," said the landlady, "we hain't got any jist now; folks haven't asked for if; but we'll get it for your family if you want it."' Most people get malaria without wanting it. To get rid of its noxious I^ffects^usaBiQja^^ S. R. MacDonald, New Haven, Conn., says, "I have suffered from malaria for nearly six years. Brown's Iron Bitters cured me completely." Work kills some people, but Irregular and irrational habits kill more. OUT IN NEBRASKA. For several years the tide of emigration has been headed to the Western prairies and the home of the festive blizzard and cyclone, alkali water and sod nouses, forgetting the fact that in Northeastern Nebraska a revolution was in progress and that in preference to all other points it was the locality that should be visited and that an era of business prosperity had dawned on this section especially in Wayne, Dixon, d Cedar Counties, that would conue increasing from year to year. 'he largest and most important town ese counties are Wayne and Hartington, and tho country surrounding is Deing rapidly filled up with a good clash of settlers but there is room for thousands more-. However we oan say this, that whoever chooses a location in Northeast Nebraska, the results will prove they made a wise selection.

She had but two, and they had been with her ever since the decease of the lamented Dunning—a clerk in the customs, who returning home on-a certain pay-day in November, with two bottles of wine in his outer coat and one in his inner man, walked into the Thames and was drowned—had compelled her to retire to the basement, and offer the upper-portions of her house, at moderate rent, to "gentlemen of quiet habits, seeking a comfortable home in a pleasant suburbaa neighborhood." On the very day that Mrs. Dunning's advertisement appeared in the Duilfi TdegrapktMv.Si.m\\e[ Greeley, chief cashier in a government savings bank, engaged the sitting-room and the bedroom on the ground floor; and Mr. William Wylie, chief sub-editor of a local daily paper, engaged the sittingroom and the bedroom on the first tioor.- The day, I think, was Saturday—indeed, it must have been, for Mr. Wylie, contrary to his habit on the other days of the week, was at home all the evening. About 9 p. m. the two gentlemen met in the passage, exchanged greetings, and entered upon a discussion on politics, which, becoming animated, resulted firstly in a withdrawal to the apartment of Mr. Greeley, and lastly in a copious libation of hot rum and water. Thus was begun an acquaintance which merged into friendship and deepened into mutual affection—Sam Greeley and Will Wylie became sworn brothers. The cashier, at the time of this story, was about 63 years of age, and the subeditor 54; and on the subjects of politics, flannel nightcaps for use in winter, religion, and the proper quanity of sugar for a bowl of punch, they had only such trifling differences of opinion as tended to preserve their intercourse from monotony. Mr. Greeley was away from home during the day, and Mr. Wylie during the night, so that the former was generally coming in at about the time when the latter was going out. Nevertheless, they managed to see a good deal of each other. Mr. Greeley always visited Mr. Wylie in his bedchamber before he went out in the morning, and Mr. Wylie visited Mr. Greeley in his parlor be fore he went out in the evening. Saturday, however, was their favorite day. Saturday wa3 a whole holiday with Mr. Wylie, and Ihejtwo friends spent the hours of the evening together from 7 until midnight. Very quiet old fellows they were;^*ever heard in the house except for about half an hour late on Saturday f i n i n g s when MrTGreeley brought out an aged flute, of which the lower keys were a little uncertain, and Mr. Wylie trolled an ancient love-song in a tenor voice, of which the upper notes were a tri dubious. For eight years nojiars word had passed between th«m7 and among the neighbors on^either side their friendship hadJbeCome a by word. Certainly Mrs^^Dtmning had reason to say that she^was fortunate in her lodgers. ^"^ le top of the house were two tiny Jedrooms; Mrs. Dunning occupied one of them; the other had long been untenanted. On Monday evening Mr. Wylie knocked at Mr. Greeley's door on h'is way out and was admitted. "News. Sam, news! and you'll never guess itl" exclaimed the sub-editor. The chief cashier gave full rein to his Imagination, and said: "Mrs.Dunninggoing to take a second?" "No." ••• "Your Aunt Belinda dead, and left you the £1,000?" kNo. ?> "Blinkie been at the rum again?" Mr. Greeley's imagination was running dry. Blinkie was Mrs. Dunning's cat, which, when the spirits in the gentlemen's cupboards disappeared too rapidly, she was in the habit of accusing of bibulous propensities, "No." "Then I can't guess any more, Will." "What do you say to a new lodger?" queried Mr. Wylie. ' "A new lodger!—here, in this house?" "Yes; and a lady." "A lady, Will! Do you mean to tell me that Mrs. Dunning has let the little I back bedroom to a single lady£" "Yes; and a yonng lady." "Dear me! this must be inquired ir> to. We had better ting up Mrs Dunning." said Mr. Greeley nervously. "Why, Sam. old boy, we're not afraid of a young lady, are we?" asked Mr. Wyhe. "Eh?—no, not afraid; but you know, Will, we have always held the opinion that woman is " "So we have, Sam; especially when she's young." "And you know. Will," went on Mr. Greeley, "that one of the conditions on which we took lodgings with Mrs. Dunning was that no other lodgers, and in particular no ladies, were to be admitted. And don't you remember that affair at Hammersmith the other day, when a young woman took lodgings for one night in a small respectable house, and nearly strangled an elderly gentleman in his bedin the middle of the night? We are neither of us strong men, Will." "That's true, Sam, I did not look at it in that light. Perhaps you had better have an explanation from Mrs. Dunning. I'm late, and must go. Goodnight. Don't get top low about it, old fellow, and bolt your bedroom door." Mr. VVylie went out, and Mrs. Dunning brought in Mr. Greeley's tea-tray. "What is this. Mrs. Dunning? A new lodger, and a lady?" "Yes, Mr. Greeley, sir," said Mrs. Dunning, setting down the tray and interposing a couple of chairs between her lodger and herself. "But ahuncoramon case, sir—quite a case, as I said to myself acomin' up the stairs, quite a case to move Mr. Greeley's art. The young lady—for I'm sure she is a lady, sir—came and said sne is but 18 years old, and obligated to live alone becos of a step-mother that uses her that shameful. Left a house in the next street, she say, through not likin' to meet on the stairs two young men which lodged there; bein' alone, and no protecthV 'and. Gets her own livin'v sir, though she didn't say how, and desires of a quiet 'ome in a respectable 'ouse, where kitchen fire is not ahextra, and a mother's influence, as you might say, sir, throwed in with the table-linen." "You say that she is young, Mrs. Dunning?" "Says she's 18, sir, and don't look hardly that. Was going right away when I said my lodgers was gentlemen, but came back when 1 said, quiet solemn, they was both old enough to be her father." "Eh?" said Mr. Greeley; "old enough to be her—" "Father, sir—you and Mr. Wylie, sir; and such lodgers Jsaid,as alady obligatedthrough cruel for'EihTo let"apartments at 25 shillings—which they'd be cheap at 50—was never afore blessed with. When I mentioned your ages, sir,—yours and Mr. Wylie's,—the young lady said she'd stay at once. The name on the box is Chester—Miss Rose Chester." ^_ * * "And wherels Hiss Chester at this "moment, Mrs.-Dunnnig?" "In the back kitchen, sir, a curlin' of her front hair." —" Thank yon, ^Mrsr Dtnmrrrg. You mav go." "Thankir " I will." {Ta bt Gmtinvsd.l A n Insane Brakeman* Chicago Herald. Two railroad men were talking over old times. Inquiry was made as to what had become of an old freight brakeman named Jack Taylor. "Didn't ye ever hear about Jack? No? I thought everybody knew what he oome to. Poor old Jack—he'll never twist another brake or swing another lamp. You see, Jack got the number craze. You don't know what that isP know much of anytning. Well, Jack got 'em, his being the third case I ever heard of. Seven or eight years ago they got hold of Jack, and they kept growin' worse. In 1879,1 believe it was, he first started out to find the number of the year. 'Long about the middle of the summer he found it. Then he was happy. But New Year's day he started hunting for 1880. He looked all summer and all fall. Finally cold woather came, and would you believe it? Jack would sit out on the top of the cars in the freezingest weather looking for car numbered 1880. Whenever we passed a side track he'd look at the cars like a wild man. He got so crazy ov it that he mighty noar lost hii^Job. Christmas day he found his^car, but New Year's day he sj^rted looking for ISSt; You see, be-got to believing that if he didnVJna a car numbered the same aa-ttie .year before the yoai* was ou>feowQuld die before the next Easter, e couldn't talk it out of him. In 1881 he had good luck, and found the number about July. But in 1882 he had no luck at all. 'Long the last of the year he hunted day and night. Instdad ot going to bed he would take his lantern and go up and down tho tracks in the yard looking at t Le num bers on the cars. After Christmas he got frantic, and wo saved him by taking an old car and painting the number over for him (in the sly, then steering him around tha* way to look at. it. • Ibis narrow escape frightened him so that oarly in 1883 he wasascrh/v as ho usually was in November. Ho got so lie was of no use on a train nnd'ho was tired. Then ho spent all of his time going up and down the yards He imagined wo boys wero keeping the car ho wanted away from him, and so he went over to the other roads where thuy didn't know him. When tho New Years bells rang out at the end of 1883 Jack was running up and down the tracks like a maniac. He is now in the asylum—harmless, but clear gone. He didn't find a car numbered 188*" r ^ k _ . _ A bell Jboy with nearly a dollar in him is being mined by physicians in Portland, Me., where he was employed iu a hotel. He was running upstairs with 78 nents in his month, when, suddenly slopping for something; he gulped the entire amount—two 25 cent pieces, two dimes, and the rest in pennies. Strange to say there has been no ohange i i his internal arrangements since. TALKS WITH THE FARMERS. Potato deed; American Cultivator. Long before potatoes are to be planted the seed potatoes should be got out of the dark pita or Jjins in which they are necessarily .stored daring severe weather. Exposure to light for some time before planting is very important If the planting is to be early the seed should be cat at onoe and spread thinly in a light, warm room, to allow the out surfaces to harden. The seed will then be much less liable to rot if a cold, wet time comes after planting. The dampness in the soil will findits assaults on the seed checked by the dry, calloused surface over the cut. If the potatoes are not to be planted until late, cutting tho seed should be delayed until a few days before planting. It is a difficult matter to keep a large quantity of cut potato seed just right for a long time. If put in heaps, barrels or bags some of it will heat and spoil. If sept very long exposed to light and air the moisture will all dry out of the cut pieces and they will appear like chips. In a moist soil most of those will grow, but, should a dry time come just alter planting, there will be sent failures. But whether to be planted early or late, seed potatoes should, from this time on, be exposed to light and air. The vigorous green shoots which will be just ready to push out when the seed is put in the ground will be so much gain, instead of a detriment, as are the pale, thin sprouts which push from potato seed in dark, warm places, the latter robbing the potato of the substance on which the young plants must first depend- before they can pat forth roots for their own support. Light Brahma*. The origin of Brahmas, both light aBd dark, was probably the same, with a most respectable ancestry among the Asiatics. The breed came into prominent notice in America about the year 1850. The American light, Brahmas di fier in many respects from the £nghsh. They are, as a rule, longer in leg and back, seldom vulture-hocked or much feathered* and JihowJess penciling* in hackles. In these pointsthey are considered inferior to the English birds. They excel, however, in purity of white and size. To obtain these points they have been from time to time introduced into some of the English yards, but thus far without very satisfactory results^ English fanciers report light Brahmas as good layers in the winter months, and no amount of cold seems to diminish the fertility of their eggs. In England it is very desirable to get hatching over before the middle of April, if possible, so as to have the chickens up to eight or ten pounds weight for the autumn shows. The hens will mostly go on laying steadily up to about August, when they become broody. His well to give them a month's rest on the nest, after which an early molt may be expected. Ail English fanciers agree in admiring the shape and color of the light Brahma. No variety of fancy poultry shows to greater advantage on the meadow. Thoy have, however, their drawbacks, ono of which is that their foot feather becomes greatly damaged nning on long grans, and another that they must be well washed before they are sent to a show, or^they would stand no chance of winning. They are considered as easy to breed as most ' other varieties, certainly more so than the dark Brahmas. They are beautiful to the eye and useful in an economical point of view. Above all they are the most easily tamed and give no troub to their owner by straying away^-frbm home. ExperlmenM'ln Feeding* A proposition has been made to the state boara of agriculture and )accepted em, to use the new experiment feeding barn at the agricultural college for the next' two or three years for the purpose of testing the comparative feed in qualities of nnmmon or Kornh ftftttln *.n as many of the improved breeds as can be obtained; two calves of each to be selected aBd fed to their full capacity under direction of the professor of- agriculture. The feed given to each will be carefully weighed and an accurate account kept with each breed and full records published, The cattle will be shown each year at the fairs and finally at the fat stock shows. It is hoped that all the half-breeds may be represented. President Hinds of the Shorthorn breeders' association fancy prices for seed of this variety" has promised to provide the Shorthorns When only few cows are kept the for the purpose which will bo selected . . . . by a committee iippointod for tho purpose. If tho Hereford and black-polled breeders will also provide specimens of these breeds the trial may become interesting, No doubt the Hwistein or Friesian breeders would also like to bo represented. The experiment will bo interesting w t f c summer. "Wi'th "cows'"Tong in care of these trees before and at the time of planting, it may not be out of place to give a few'* reminders "on this subject. Fruit trees bought from reliable dealers are put up so that they can be shipped a long distance in good condition. When going to the place of dedelivery for trees, always take an old matter blanket along to wrap about the roots of the trees and protect them from the sun and wind. One hour's exposure of this kind will do great damage if it does not end in the death of the tree. Then if not ready to plant cover the roots well with earth and if the trees seem to he very dry bury the whole length for a few days, and if there is enough vitality left a wonderful change will take place. It is, however, much to be preferred that they do not get in such condition. This protecting the trees before planting is one of the most important points connected with handling them and one most frequently neglected. Evergreens are absolutely ruined if the roots become dry and we would not advise the purchase of these from a distance if they can be procured near by. If trees are received in good order, protected from sun and jrind until planting, planted in dry, mellow soil not too deeply, with the fine earth pressed firmly about the roots and the trees well staked to prevent the winds from loosening the rootlets before they get a firm hold of the soil, and then well mulched, there can hardly bo a possibility of failure, and every tree will have a healthy growth. Such work is worth doing welL W^J?!? w i U n o t accumulate fat, and it is difficult to keep a fine milker in even tolerable condition. But if she eats well, as every good cow will, her owner may rest assured that tho feed is returned to him in the milk pail, in a form more valuable than most of the reed that is eaten on the farm sibly assume. can poe- Despite business depression, 1,280 new stock companies were registered in London last year, wi^h a capital of $500,000,000, against " 88S. Seasonable Notes* The bones thrown out in cooking or from the table are too valuable to be wasted. Burned or ground they are excellent feed for poultry, and this is perhaps the best way to make the phosphate they contain available as a fertilizer for crops. The wbey left after making cheese is poor food by itself, but if mixed with wheat middlings or bran its deficiencies, are supplied and it is then good for store hogs. The acidity of the whey causes it to be eaten with greater relish and also makes it more digestible. English epicures do not like yellowlegged fowls. In this coun try in most markets those with yellow legs have the preference, the yellow being generally supposed to indicate more fat. Possibly feeding with corn so much teaches Americans to like poultry in good condition. Peas are the most hardy^f all grains. A few should be got in the ground for early use as soon as the frost is out, put£ ting them in on ground prepared in the fall for this purpose- The firsi planting should be of the smooth sorts, as they will not rot in cold, damp soil as the sweeter wrinkly peas will. The first year after setting apple trees corn is a better hoed crop to grow among the trees than potatoes of"any roots. It makes a shade for the ground and for the trees themselves, besides insuring thorough cultivation, which, however, should be given with special care not to injure the trees by whiffletrees and "horse cultivating implements; At this season fowls may be induced to lay many more eggs by providing food containing the materials from which eggs are formed. Feeding with wheat screenings and giving milk to drink will furnish the best diet. Once a day give soft feed, which may consist of wheat bran or middlings mixed with milk and given warm. This should be given early in the morning. Do not omit to furnish lime for the shells, else if crowded too rapidly eggs will be eaten and the fowls soon made worse than worthless. No grain crop will be* more quickly benefited by manure than barley, l i growth is rapid, and at the beginning is at a season when plant food does not develop fast in the soil. Hence some kind of commwrcial- fertilizer drilled with the seed to give the plant its first start is especially valuable for this grain. Of late years it is found that the weight of grain, on which depends its value for •ale, is due to the application of mineral manures. Where phosphate benefits other crops sow it on barley. Where it does not, sow salt, ashes or some form of potasin * The best barley is grown in the lake regions, and, that from Bay Quinte, north of Lake Ontario, Is generally heavier than from anv other section and brings a better price! South of Lake Ontario, in western New York, a good ¢846,166,00() in- -deal is grown, and the quality largely depends upon the season. Cool weather while the head is filling and dry weather for harvesting are "each important to securing a good crop. In localities where intense heat and droughts come 88 the grain is ripening, the barley will be poor. These essential climatic conditions limit the growing of barley to a comparatively small area. The experience of the present winter, wnen many householders have had to make fires in cellars to keep out frost while having no good means for letting out the smoke, suggests the advantage of extending chimneys down to the bottom of cellars. Then a stove could be set in the cellar tb warm it wheneverneeded, and the temperature be easily One of the best manures for the gar older. den is made by mixing two bushels of fine bone with a wagojMoad of stable manure. The- bone makes the manure heat more ouickly, and the manure 3often8jcwraissolvee the particles of boaer^Tf water with which sulphuric cid has been mixed is poured on the heap, it will prevent loss of ammonia Most stable manures arc deficient in phosphate, which the bone supplies. The deeper the drain the purer will .cation, be the water that flows from it, unless it tv,0"n*, accidentally taps some deposit of soluble mineral matter. At all events, the loss of nitrate from drainage water, which is sometimes complained of, will be less when the drains are deep. The long roots of clover, which strike into the subsoil, regulated. This also would give cellars a better ventilation, as the air rising from it would be carried off in the chimneyr A cutoff draught shouldbeproyided to prevent the passage of cold air into the cellar during any freezing weather not quite cold enough to require extra fire in the cellar. If experience this winter does not impress upon farmers the necessity of planting rows octrees as wind-breaks, they are indeed incorrigible. A row of hardy evergreens planted so as to break the coldest winds from the house will be worth maay times their cost twenty years hence. Western farmers making homes on bleak prairies understand tl better than most Eastern farmers-seem to do. Here we began originally with natural wmd-breakjMtTthe original forest. As thisjaoutaway winds sweep more fiercely-every n e \r, and our homes seemjessrdesirable ih <n they did thirty oy fifty years-age. Tve cotntry should improve, in every way as it growa will very rarely go below the depth of drainage. The White Star is one of the now varieties of potatoes that have fulfilled the promise they gave when first introduced. It is a very productive, smoothskinned, white potato of excellent quality, unlike many enormous croppers, which are coarse and soggy. It can bo had at market rates from almost any large grower of potatoes, and there is Uhemlstry a s a Profession. St. Nichola*. Chemists receive as a rule from one thousand to twelve hundred dollars a year. This seen: s small when we con sider to what expense a young man has been put to obtain the necessary edu- Sometimes, however, in a manufacturing house where he has made himself particularly useful, a chemist may receive eighteen hundred or two thousand dollers, and as superintendent of works he might get five or ten thousand dollars; but such cases are very exceptional. One reason why salaries are smaller in our large cities no reason why any farmer need pay not only as a "battle of th« breeds," but as an experiment in feeding, and if there is an advantage in improved breeds, as most good farmers believe, it will show what it is. For this purpose, and for a comparison of the improved breeds, we would prefer that there be five cf each instead of two. This would be more decisive, yet two representative animals will give much definite information without creating any unseemly strife between the breeders. 8ag;f eatlona on Tree Planting-. Very soon many of our readers will be planting fruit trees which have already been ordered from nursery agentsrand as very wuoh of success depends on the cream pot should have its contents stirred daily.

While.every grape vino must ultimately have a trellis, it is not necessary to make tho latter before or at tho time the vine is planted. The first year of growth a stake is all that is needed. With the second spring the trellis will begin to come in use, though three to five years will pass before it will be fully occupied.

When a chemist has, by years of study and long practice, thorough qualified himself in his professionfhe can give what is ealled>tfn expert opinion." This, as SamTWeller might say, "is an opinjonas is much more valu'ble than^-an opinion as is not export.'''^ hi a lawsuit, for example, chemists would be employed on both and an expert would receive from fifty dollars a day to twenty-five dollars an hour. If an expert examined a mine, made a report on the formation, and gave his views on the likelihood of its paying the people who intended purchasing it, he would be paid perhaps five or six hundred dollars and all expenses. But, remember, there are very few ••experts," and that those who enjoy that reputation have paid the price of4 long continued study, of hard and enthusiastic labor, for the reputation they have made.

The Afaan force seffered severely. Russia has drawn first blood; but the blow was struck on the defensive. Earl Duffenn, perhaps, should be held responsible for this Afghan outbreak. He had .aroused the Afghans to a high pitch ot anger toward Russia. They were consumed with a desire to thrash the Muscovite. This demonstration at Kushk is the beginning, probably, ot a series of thrilling events which will determine whether or not Russia will be thrashed. A conference of "representative business men of the whole country'' will be held at Atlanta, Georgia, on the 19th of May. In the circular *4 invitation sent out by Mr. H. T.

There has been a gradual falling off in the number of callers on the President during the past two or three davs, owing, no doubt, to the fact that officeseekers begin to realize that they can accomplish very little by daily visits to the White House. The rules regulating the hours for receiving visitors are nowbein*g more rigidly enforced than during the first three weeks of this administration. On Cabinet days, Tuesday and Thursday, callers are only admitted up to twelve o'clock. 'During the remainder of the week visitors are admitted by card from ten-^o one o!clock, after which the President goes down into the East Room to receive those who call simply to pay their respects. Between half-past one and two o'clock he takes his lunch in his private office, adjoining his sleeping apartments. From two until about half-past four o'clock he attends to routine executive business, receiving such visitors as may call by special appointment. He goes out for a drive every pleasant afWroon between five and seven o'clock. During one of his recent trips to the Soldiers' Home he took occasion to visit the Presidential cottage, and -strg^estedseveral minor improvements, calculated to make his stay there this summer as comfortable as possible. It is reported that there have been fewer business failures during the week than in any previous week of '85. The rum so sadly predicted by the press last November in case of Democratic success has not then begun, as yet to manifest itself, it is, indeed, -probabU thatlhexmn_has lost its way, or that it has been confined by inscrutable Providence to the political aspirations of some of Our fellow citizens. NearJy all branches of trade luok brighter than they did a lew months ago.—Several ^reat strikes affecting important industries ot production are happily ended. Our factories, though not yet so busy as we should like to see them, are working very generally on better assurance of profit than tor over a year back. As the season advances, and them.lchinery of eom.nuaieation and transport, so Ion* piralysed by a very severe winter, comes again into tull play, as it will very soon now over the whole country, it is .fair to expect that, the prospects of trade will become stiil more cheerful. In truth the political condition of the country has been a factor of little or no importance eittierin the-tlepression of trade, or in its present awakening. The late political contest, exciting as it was, did not disturb or effect the current of American production, though interested persons tried to make it appear that it, did or could.

K A T E SutSLKY died on the 9 th inst, at Fort Wain, N. Y. She has been living in a comatose condition for several days. Death had been expected at any time, but she gave no indications of it until the last moment. There is no, doubt that from the 11th day of March, 1884, till the day before Thanksgiving last, she did n o ^ e a t anything. Upon that day she experienced a peculiar sensation like the breaking away of something in her stomach, and since then she had been able to take a little ton, and giving one to each member to be worked out to the best of his or her ability and reported at a future meeting for the enlightenment of the rest.

This IT unfortunate; purpose of the law is certainly cellent one, It was designed a n e x - to prevent, as far as possible, those unseemly contests which periodically arise in the courts over the sanity of deceased persons. It does seem, to the lay mind, arif some legal means might be devised of doing this. In the court of common sense the best possible time for determining whether a man is sane when he makes his will is during his lifetime, when those who are to pass upon his sanity can be confronted with him, and when he can meet all charges or suspicions of insanity. But if the court* hold the common sense method legally n^Mishment* i n ' t h e shape of w m e o r i f t i i constitutionally impracticable* the idea must be abandoned.

A conference of ^representative business men of the whole country" will be held at Atlanta, Georgia, on the 19th of May. In the circular of invitation-sen out by Mr, H, I. Kimball, Chairman ot ne Executive Committee, it is called a National Commercial Convention. The general object is to consider the most effective means to promote the business interests of the United States. Commercial and reciprocity treaties, a National bankrupt law, the compulsory coinage of silver, and railway transportation, are some of the subjects to be discussed. If intelligent and thoughtful business men, who are really representative of the great commercial classes, go to Atlanta and take part in the discussions, this conference will doubtless have a good effect in giving force to public opinion on important quea* tion which will come before Congress next winter. . ^-- THERE is one lawsuit in America almost as old as the English possession of the country, and C O N D E N S E D N E W S .

The Grand chereef of Mecca has issued a proclamation declaring El Mahdi an outlaw and notifying all true Mohammedans that the English have the right to treat him as a common murderer. This proclamation goes on to dealers that El Mahdi has massacred hundreds of true believers and caused the murder of Gen. Gordon, for whom prayers had been offered up at Mecca as a friend of Mohammedans. It was reported in London on the 6th inst. that Gen, Graham with all his forces had retreated to Suakim. It is glossed over as a strategical withdrawal, but it means that the entire campaign is a failure and a disaster. Gen.

At first—that is while he is a little baby and guided by instinct-- he will not do it, but kicks and yells until he gets his stomach full before hewill shut one eye. Then he cuddles down and sleeps like a top until he gets hungry agaki.

No wonder; all the foroes engaged in restoring the waste of body during the waking hours, havo been idle "half the night for the want ef material to work on. The common sense of the thing is _ this: While tjhe mind is active the I int^^\ bloodvessels of the brain are duten-J evening ded. To secure rest for the mind, the quantity of blood in the brain must be ^reduced. To secure proper digestion of food the blood vessels of the stomach, must be well filled. Now it is so arranged that when the vessels of the stomach are full, those of the brain are depleted, and vice vers.v Therefore, to exercise the mind and call the blood away from the stomach immediately after eating, interferes with digestion and if persevered in brings on dyspepsia. < On the other hand, by lying down and taking a nap after eatiBg, as other animals are wont to do, perfect digestion is secured. The stomach draws the surplus blood from the brain and uses the increased vital energy to assist ill the digestion of tne rood. The ^ b - sence ot this amount of blood from the brain gives it a chance to rest. Thus two very important organs have been ver^ materially aided in the discharge of their peculiar functions.

Charles Beeoher, known as the writer of some of the most quaint and touching hymns in the English language. Another is the Rev. Edward Beeoher, a profound theologian, far advanced in years, and living in Brooklyn, where he preaofces from time to time. A third brother is the Rev. William Henry Beeoher, who is spending the serene years of mellow old age at his home, 6 I.lonore street, Chicago. Mr. Beecher is 84 years old, and, with the exception of the natural infirmities of age, is a hearty and vigorous old gentleman. A gentleman who recently visited Mr. Beecher at his home, found him in an exceedingly genial frame of mind and by no means indisposed to talk about the relief he bad obtained from the rheumatism, which for many years had been a source of trouble to him. In reply to a question, the venerable gentleman remarked: " Why. yuu want to know about Athlophoros. It is the greatest medicine in the world for rheumatism. I had suffered with that disease for fifteen years. My hands and my joints were swelled. I had much paid, and many sleepless nights. It took my pain away, and gave me power to sleep. Do not understand me say that my rheumatism is all |»one. It would be a miracle if rheumatism could be entirely driven away from an old man like me, who has had it for years. I have some of it left, and occasionally I feej its pains. Then I take more Athlophoros, and the pains are driven away. Even if it can't entirely drive out the cause of pain from a man who has had it so long, it takes the pain away and that is a great deal. Sometimes X had frightful pains at night, before going to bed. Then I would take ariose of Athlophoros, an d I soon find the pain all gone, so that I could enjoy a calm and refreshing night's rest. •'I believe Athlophoros will cure chronic rheumatism. I know that is saying a great deal for it; but I say it. A tough old case of rheumatism like mine is very hard to cure, I know. But see my hands; they are no longer ^ swelled as tbey were. I am free from T the pains 1 used to have. 1 sleep well, and what more can an old man of 84 askforP" Mr. Beecher's dsught^r cheerfully •confirmed what her father had said, and gave her„testimQnjM>o the great advantages he had received from the use of Athlophoros. For a number of years Mr. C. L. Wetmore, of the well known wholesale qlothing house of Messrs.

He is now well. Calling on-Mf-. Wetmore, at his store jon Fifth avenue, the gentleman found - him'willing to converse as to his e x - periel^e in regard to rheumatism. "lam told, Mr. Wetmore, that you got rid of your rheumatism by the help of /Athlophoros. Is that true P Well, I had been for a long while troubled Jwith rheumatism, and I had tried almost everything in the line medicine, I may" fairly say that Athlophoros finished the rheumatism, and finally overcame it. Some of the other remedies had given me relief, which proved only temporary and incomplete. But it was not so with the Athlophoros. Since 1 have taken it I find that I have no more rheumatic pains, either to annoy me by day, or to interfere with my sleep by night My rheumatism was at times very severe. All my joints were swoll e n , and were very painful. I was de tained at home sometimes as much as a month at a time, suffering acutely and unable to attend to business. Now that Athlophoros has finished the rheumatism, I am happy to say that my sleep is good, my appetite is regular and healthy, and 1 am every dav attending to business.1' If you carnot get ATHM>WHOBOJ» of your druggist, we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle.

The - canvassing board completed their_work; Wednesday, and it shows SCHOOL MEETING. A petition signed by 21 legal voters of school district No. 2, Putnam, was presented to Director F. L. Brown last week, asking for a special meeting to consider the question of building a new school house and establishing a sight. In accordance thereto Mr. Brown has issued a call for a school meeting at the school house in this village at 7:30 F. M. on Monday next, and it is hoped all who are interested will turn out. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of the people that we need a school building. As far as we can learn all those opposed to the improvement simply argue that "we cannot afford it just now." In all probability that has been the continual cry for the past twenty years, and if we cannot afford it now when can we? As we have said before, material and labor are cheaper now than ever" before and money could be hired and paid in so small payments that you . would never know the difference in your taxes. We don't blame people from being economical in these times \ but friends, be sure you are economifc-, ing in the right direction. But few of us economize as we ought in purchasing small articles that we could just as well do without, but should we economize cm a matter that effects the health * ODmfort ar»d we might say the fuTuTeprosperity and greatness of oni* children? This is a more seriouJ question than some of you imagine. To-day in the old school house is gathered the youth whom we expect in a few years will make our men and wo- /men. Now is the time the germs-of their character is lounded. and children should be taught to look upon the bright side of life as well as the dark; they ought not be made to believe that all is hard times and discontent in this world, but it should be instilled into the minds of the~young thatlife is wortft living—a boon to enjoy.

We tell you parents such thoughts formed now in the minds of your children will exert , themselves more or less through all there future lives. Be good to those you have brought into this world, in their childhood; send them to school regularly; see that everything is pleasant and attractive about the school building and premises; visit them while at work in the school rcom, and you will never regret the money and lime spent in their behalf—unless you are a hog or a scoundrel.

Fool murder in Jack eon* Jaokeoa wai thrown into a fever of excite* •lent Friday, April 11, by the discovery of the body ox a man in the manger of a ban near ihe Franklin house in that city. The skull waa onuhed in and everything Indicated that a moat brutal murder had been committed. From marks on the remains it waa evident that the crime had been committed some time ago, ae the body was badly deoompoeed and appeared to have been froaen. An investigation was at onoe instituted and it was learned that the body is that of Henry W. Smith, who lived in Leoni town* ship, about seven ndlee east of Jackson, and who has been missing for some timet Mr. Louis Frosser, a redolent of Jackson, says he is positive the body is that of Smith, and states he has known him from childhood, Smith left him about the middle of December, went to Detroit, where he Motived a large sum of money.' Upon return- ~tig~ira—liquidated—a— mortgage—oiabout $200, and since that time he has net been seen. It is supposed he had about $700 left. The father of tne dead man, Mr. David M. Smith live* near buspensiou Bridge, N. V., and is in charge of tne Montrose shops here. James Haletead, a former partner of Henry W. Smith, has betn arrested by Saerift Fifield on a warrant charging aim with tne murder of Smith. Several people about the barn say Halstead's actions lor the lasc two months were suspicious, and that he would not allow parties to.hitch a hone in the stall where the tfead man lay, making tkent go by that Btall to another one farther down tne barn. TO PRISON FOR LIFE. Theman Halsiel, arrested ior the murder of Smith, made a confession Monday night, the 13ih, of the murder of Henry Smith, and was quietly arraigned in court the next morning, plead guilty and was sentenced to prison for life. Balstead also implicated in his confession the man who ran the barn in conneotion with himself, and says the murder was done out on the Moffktt farm in Summitt, about January 29. Balstead says they entloed Smith out there to settle up some business matter, and then the other man struck Smith while he (Qalstead) was Hitching the hone. The murder Was done by the other man with an ax, but Halstead claims he helped hide the body in the hay until a little time ago, when it waa brought down and put into the Franklin house barn. He says they did it for money, but also says that the other man got all the money. W. H. Smith, who, he says, waa his accomplice, is in jail and says he is innocent. While being arraigned Halstead smoked a cigar and still held it in his hand when he kissed his wife and entered the hack to be fitken to the prison tor life. he didn't strike the blow, or first one struck, The officers are inclined to believe that Halstead's story about an accomplice is a xrabrioation to nelp his own case. The ofcars found the suspenders out in the shed where the body lay in the hay, and when they were brought Halstead weakened and owned up. _--— _ IKlcfelcam'a Museum.

Hundreds of thousands of people perish of it every year while in their doctor's hands.

Mr. Wylie had a constitutional f>;lr of th'e canine race in general, and of its snraHer members in particular, and so far lost his presence of mind as to give a feeble shout, at the same time retreating backward down the stairs, to the infinite peril of his head and limbs. Miss Chester seized her puppy somewhere in the neighborhood or the tail, held it up by that appendage, and, with her fan, slapped it indiscriminately in all parts of its body, all the while.uttering the daintiest apologies to Mr. Wylie, who stood confusedly on the mat. "You bad,wickeddog,how dare you?" and Miss Chester shook her dog with such exceeding vigor that Mr. Wylie feared the tail would give way. " l a m afraid it will come out if you shake it that way," he said mildly, and Miss Chester desisted. Mr. Wylie opened the door for her, flattening himself against the wall to avoid the puppy's grinders: and Miss Chester, with a profusion of smiles and thanks, slipped out. "Quite like a beam of sunshine, quite Jairjhlike, quite—I declare, I feel several years younger;" and Mr. Wylie ran 'his fingers through his scant gray stubble, pulled up his collar, and mounted the stairs two at a time. He took down from his bookshelf an old pocket-book, and scanned its pages attentively for a few moments. "Fifty-four last birthday; and S a m l s 53VT fancy 44ook rather younger than Sam." "Sam," said*Mr.-Wylie, when he met his friend in the evening, "what do you think of our new lodger?" "A very pleasing young lady, I think," answered Mr. Greeley. "A fine girl, I think, Sam," said the sub-editor. "Oh, no, Will, I don't think I'd say that. Pleasing and^-and very interest-, ing, if you like," replied Mr. Greeley. "No, no;that's not half strong enough. You haven't seen her eyes, Sam. My eye, what eyes! And her mouth—oh, Sam, what a mouth!" "Steady, Will, steady," said his friend gravely. "Remember that maxim of ours." "Oh, bother, Sam. I don't think the maxim will do at all in this case. Good night, Sam.

Lieut Schwatka, who has so recently returned from the Arctic region, contributes a charming sketch to the St. Nicholas for March, under the title of "Children of the Cold," in which he says of the Eskimo dogs: You boys who have a favorite Carlo or Nero at home may like to know something about the Eskimo dogs; asking what they have to eat, and whether, like your own favorites, they get three meals a day and any number of intermediate lunches.

Mr. Greeley craned his neck perilously behind the window-blind, but saw only the back of the new lodger—though, to be sure, it was a very pretty back. By and by the garden gate swung open, and she returned. A latch-key turned in the door. Just then it occurred to Mr. Greeley that he would brusli his overcoat,.and he stepped -into the passage to take it from the peg- The passages in the houses at Sunnyside, West Kensington, being constructed on severely economic principles, there resulted a momentary encounter between Mr. Greeley and Miss Chester. Miss Chester's hands were full of packages, aud in her maidenly embarrassment she let one of them fall. Mr. Greeley picked it up and replaced it. Miss Chester blushed and laughed a littlemusical laugh, and said, "Thank you." At the foot of the stairs the. same ridiculous package eseaped again. Mr. Greeley picked it up and replaced it; and Miss Chester blushed and laughed, and said, .."Thank you^".as. before. She had harrily set foot on the first landing when that same absurd package and another package slipped from her arms and raUed to the bottom of the stairs- Mr. (•Treeley was equal to the occasion, gathered them up, and carried them to where Miss Chester stood—no longer laughing but blushing in a more desperately bewitching way than ever. iShe said, "Thank you so much; how very careless of .rael" took them from him; retreated into her room, and shut the door. "What a very odd thing!" said Mr. Greeley as he returned. "What an extraordinary thing!" he said as he reached his sitting-room. "I never saw packages behave in that way before. A most interesting face," he went on, -as he filled his pipe and seated himself by the window; "and quite pretty little manners. I don't know that Mrs. Dunning ought to have acted otherwise than she has done; she could scarcely have refused to take Miss Chester in. Old enough to be her father, eh? Let me think—-53, and Will's 5t. Will's o l d e / than I am." / In this way did Mr, Greeley meditate as he smoked his evening pipe. Miss Chester's face was more'than interesting, though; it was exceedingly pretty—an open, girlish face; witli a fresh complexion; short, ctvrly, yellow hair; and a slender figure/which showed to advantage In -ajpuizy summer V.«* dress. During the day, while Mr. Greeley helped to administer the affairs of the Government Savjmgs bank, Mr. Wylie was at home, taking his rest and ease.

The dog broke from the leash. stairs orTTittle errariuXol put into the garden, where her presence made the sickly flowers and the dusty evergreens sicklier and mora dusty. When Mr. Wylie took his solitary turn there, after she had gone, he found the garden dingy which he had thought so gay before. Then he would look down at himself, and think; "What a devil of a shabby old fellow I ami ' I must improve—I must brighten up a bit." But he kept his feelings and his thoughts to himself. Mr. Greeley heard the same bird-like voice in the evening; and would-sit concealed in the window when Miss Chester ran out and down the street, following her dancing steps and wishing the days back again when he had been as light of foot as she was then. His parlor seemed not so cheerful as it had been. "But it needs another hand than mine to-brighten it," he said. "I'm a rusty old chap," he thought at other times. "The rust has settled on me these many years. I wonder whether any of it would rub off now." But he kept all these things to himself. Something had interposed itself between the two old friends—the chief cashier and the chief sub-editor—an indescribable shadowy something that made their intercourse not quite what it had been before. They had not quarreiea; tney met and talked, morning and evening, as usual; but the spontoniety had gone out of their greetings, and they spoke constrainedly about things that did not interest them; She went out every evening at about 7. and returned at half-past W. work in pulling the sledges, and in such a cold country. Yet hard as it may seem, the Eskimo dogs never get fed ofteher than every other day, and generally about every third day; while in times of want and starvation in that terrible country of cold, the lengp- of time these poor dogs will go w.^uout food seems beyond belief. ' I once had a fine team of nineteen fat Eskimo dogs that went six or seven days between meals for three 'consecutive feedings before they reached the journey's end and good food; and although they all looked very thin, and were no doubt very weak, none of them diedpsnd yet~tbey had been traveling and dragging a heavy sledge for a great part of the time. Other travelers among the Eskimo have given equally wonderful accounts of their powers of fasting. _ The Eskimo have many times of want and deprivation, and then their poor dogs must suffer Isvery much. But when they are fed every other day on good fat walrus meat, and do not have too much work to do, they will get as fat and saucy and playful as your own dogs with three meals a day. One of the very last things you would imagine to be good for them is the best food they get; that is,tough walrus hide, about an inch in thickness and as wiry as sole-leather. Give' your team of dogs a good meal of this before they stait, take alongr*a light supply of it for them, and you can be gone a couple of weeks on atripywfaen you get back, feed them up well, and they will be as fat and strong as ever in a very few days.

"Let's hear the story," They ranged themselves like so many crows on the horse- Worfian s W r o n g s - among women says: We think dissatisfied women have been infected with thoso pernicious doctrines which have led on to the most ridiculous outcry about "woman's wrongs"—woman defrauded of her rights, her cruel subjugation, and doctrines with which we have less and leas patience because we see daily more clearly mistakes and mischiefs which have sprung up. and will continue to nourish through those doctrines unless the plague is stayed. We are well aware t i a t there are many overtaxed, broken-dbw* women, who by kindness and lust appreciation might nave been saved and Deen altogether lovely and refined, making* their home like a Paradise before the fall. But we can usually find two sides to every question. So, on the other hand, we know of many broken-down men, dispirited, tired of life, because ruined by the frivolity, irritability, and extravagance of their wives, who they hoped would be their helpmeet through life, men whom a refined, sensible, loving woman * would have redeemed from a life of shame and misery, making them happy, noble, godlike. If weighed in a just scale, we imagine the rights and wrongs are about equally divided on either side. The directfulness of the human, left to roam wild and ungoverned, never seeking the peace and happiress of the partner they have chosen, hut their own selfish gratification, has changed many a man whose youth gave promise of nobility, into a reckless, u n - principled husband or an arbitrary, harsh, domestic tyrant On the other Hand, the same selfish indulgence and unregulated passions have also changed many a woman capable of shining in her appropriate sphere as a helpmeet—God's best gift to man—as a mother, a home-refiner into an irritable, fault-finding, unsatisfied, fireside torment But this is partially wandering from the main point We believe many are injured and much dissatisfaction and uhhappiness o c c a s i o n e d i m b o t h side* the growing disposition to travel fence; Jake took his stand on block, and Ed stood between.

As soon as the puppies get a little bigger, the larger boys take them in hand, and by the time they are old enough to be used for work in the sledges, they are almost well-trained dogs. And so with the little Eskimo himself; when he is a young man, he is a good dog-driver, and knows how to manage a sledge under all. circumstances. This is the . hardest thing that an Eskimo has to learn. I have known white men to equal them in rowing in their little seal-skin canoes; I have seen white men build good igloos; but I have never seen a white man who was a good dogdriver; and the Eskimo told me that they had neger seen such a one, either. When they drive their dogs, it is In the shape of a letter V, the foremost dog being at the converging point and the harness traces running back in V-shapes to the sledge. The forward dog is called the "leader" or "chief," and, in trading dogs, a "leader" is worth two good followers, or ordinary workers. The Eskimo dog-drivers manages the leader wholly by the voice, making him stop, go ahead, to the right or to the left, as he may speak to him; and as he acts, so do tho others, who soon learn to watch to the roots of his hair.

Every week as I read the Pinckney paper I wish that 1 might find a letter from the south in its columns, and this has led me to think that perhaps some one in Michigan might wish to find a letter from the west. With this idea I will try rnd give a little sketch of this city and surrounding country. At the present time graft is green and affords abundant pasture; already the deliverers of ice are on their rounds; this is nrv aotieaable to me as I re* member that probably ice can be got* ten yet from the lakes in Michigan. Farmers are p owing for corn as they at;e generally thn tttfb sowing oats and most farmers' oats are up; right around this place the farmers do not raise sheep but deal extensively in cattle and hogs—yes, and mules. Last winter while you were driving through snow tunnels the country roads here were not drifted, in fact therejvas not snow enough or wind enoughi to drift —a foot of snow being the deepest, and there has been no wind to compare with March wind of Michigan. The month of March here was extremely pleasant, but this month has been colder; the irost has been out of the ground a long time and already the dust flies. The coldest it was here last winter was 1 6 ° below zero and the oldest settlers say it never was known to be so cold-before. This city has 7,000 inhabitants and is very strict with its laws. Tuere ;are no saloons here, and no drug stores wheie a well mau can get all the liquor he wants. Tramps have a real hard time, as they are picked up and pntto work on the streets and alleys. Peddlers hardly dare euter inside the corporation. A spectacle peddler from Chicago was in here last winter and after resting 15 days in jail the officers kindly helped him aboard a homeward bound train. Me threatened toburn the whole town, but nothing has been heard of him. The Mavor visit* all poor people in winter to see that none are suffering for want of wood^or coal. Soft coal is produced in this state but the hard coal is brought from the east; it is $11 a ton. Wood is high, althonght this country is not without considerable timber. All articles of wood are dearer here than there. Provisions are the same as there, only sugars; they are cheaper here, as this city has very extensive sug tr works of its own. Canned fruits and vegetables are much used and there is strong talk of putting in a laige canning establishment here. Tnecoi ntry produces all kinds of fruits except whortlebeiries, and the people are willing to go without the berries to be rid of the swamps. Apples will compete favorably with those of any state. The soil here is black and in muddy times it is just the meanest mud I ever beard of. It is a' good thing it does not last long orisev«r de^p. The Kansas people know just what an eastern man is going to say when be gets in the mud; it is this: *0 i this* awful! awful mud!" It is r ither a bv-word aViong them. This Chautauqua society and Sabbath school assembly are held there every .summer. Perhat*> I will send a description of it in the near future. There is a man hired to watch over the grounds. Last winter t«vo men were shooting squirrels in the park, but had to ps# $12.60 apiece fo" what they killed, tUre being a fine for shooting them. Among other trees, there are many walnut there, and none of the nuts are ever picked or gather* ed but left for the rabbits and squirrels. Birds here such as 1 never saw -and do^not yet know the names of them. The Kansas red birds stay here all winter and on pleasant days come from their hiding places and sing so beautiful. I am going to compare this state with Michigan pro. and con. sometime to see which is the most favorable state to live in. One thing is in tavor of Michigan and that is the drive wells. All wells here are dug and owing to extremely warm summers have to be left open and very few have pumps in them, the waterbeing drawn up with a bucket. The people here are sociable and intelligent not any behind the times in Style or appearance. There are a great m.'iny colored people htre but they have their own srhoofs and churches, and I believe generally mind their own business. All stores have their delivers wagons driven by the colored men We have a splendid daily paper am4 brought to our door every evening Well, in conclusion, I fear I have given a very crooked account of my subject but I am not in the least poetical andean not eloqxsntly describe wh:it I wish to.

In each of these cases, as the investigations show, the accident is directly traceable to the builders, who used cheap material in the construction ol the work,,^nd made thoroughness subordinate to ha^te. It is a gross libel to call such caws as these accidents. It is nothing more nor less than manslaughter, and if no provision is made in the law as it now stands for the punishment of greedy builders, whose desire to make money THE OLD WORLD.

The fever, however, was as brief as any other vagaries of fashion; tikcT "enfliuaiMiu died away the ilnko | pifldomigates ^ ^ ^ ^ f ^ ^ o t a ™ were deserted, the investors lost their money, and roller skates disappeared In the land." THB bill which was passed the other afternoon, will provo a terror to criminals. Mr. Boynton is its author. The bill provides that any man convicted the second time of either of the offences of burglary, grand larceny, horse stealing, robbery or forgery, shall be imprisoned for the full term provided by law. Upon the third conviction for either of the offences named heJs sent to the penitentiary for a period not less than 15 years. THK editions of The Century Magazine are now so large that it has become necessary either to go to press %t an earlier date or to postpone the day of issue. The latter alternative has been accepted. The April number, the edition of which was 225,000, was delayed until the 25th of March. The May number-edition,25O,000—will be issued on the 1st day of May, thus inaugurating with the first number of the thirtieth volume a change which has long been —considered desirable -by- Uio^m^blishers, and which it is believed will b9 heartily commended by the public. Future numbers of The Century Magazine will be issued on the 1st day of the month o ^ ^ h e n t i V a l e d "copy of the record of a whioh each bears date.

It is based upon the theory that professional criminals should be placed in a class by themselves. On account of its importance it is given herewith in full: That whenever any person having been convicted of either of the crimes of burglary, grand larceny, horse stealing, robbery, forgery, shall hereafter be convicted of any one of such crimes, committed after such first conviction, the punishment shall be imprisonment in the penitentiary for the full term provided by law for such crime at the true of such last conviction there- The Central American difficulty has been sattled.

A UTICA, JSew York, dentist, who went through a car of emigrants the other day while they were engaged in eating their dinners, declared that they all had se ts of sound, white teeth, evenly grown and well planted, and not a tooth brush among them. He attributed it to their eating only coarse food foregoing sweets, whereby they avoid the acids generated thereby. This is an excellent ^theory, but is contradicted hy tho fact that Negroes eat any qnantity of sugar and have excellent teeth. The true reason is tha^ the general physical health and constitution of^ those who live out of doors and liye simply have better physical developments than those who do not. Their bones, their muscles, and «11 the organs and parts depending upon nutrijDick Whittington, the owner of an equally famous cat, says the story, was a poor country lad. Hearing of the riches of London, he walked many a weary mile to the city, where, as had been told, work was plenty. But he soon found no one cared to employ a boy whom no one knew, and after wandering about the strange streets, hungry tired and cold, he became discauratA d. So he set out to go back to \ he country. Obliged to walk all the ••v*v he soon becamcrT^ry tired, and sat do a on a bank by the road side to rest. What did he hear? Hark! the bells of London were ringing. He thought they said: Turn again, Whittington, '~~ Thrice mayor of London. - So our little friend turned back and and better fortune this time, for a rich hentloman took pity on the lonely lad gnd found him a place in his household as helper to the cook. Dick soon fonnd his new place full of new troubles for the cross cook scolded and slapped him, the servants made him do the tasks they were too lazy to do themselves, and be slept in a miserable garret full of rats and mice. Often he was tempted to run away, but when he remembered what the bells had said, he resolved to be patient a littlo while longer. So one day he had a great piece of luck; he fuuud a puimy,—and with tempts to arrest the rioters. Vessels of all nationalities are crowding into, tire' Black Sea for the purpose of transporting grain from Russian ports before an outbreak shall occur between England and Russia. Eighty-seven English vessels arrived in one week. Lord Dulferin haswired the Brilish: gov=~ ernment that Penjdeh is not worth going to war with Russia tor, and that to shed one drop of British blood for its possession is the sheerest nonsense^ Members of the cabinet are inclined to accept Dnfferin's, view of the matter. The London Poat of the 15th has reason to believe that the government has received unsatisfactory dispatohes from St. Peteraourg. Russia insists on maintaining the position she has already occupied and intimates that unless England holds Herself reponsible for acquiescence of the Ameer in these advanoes, The Post has also heard that the Afghans at Penjdeh were surprised by the recent attack and a ruthless massacre followed. Sabjeoc to the satisfactory explanation from la ol the conflict between her troops and the Afghans near Penjdeh, England and Russia have agreed on the basis of frontier delimitation between Afghanistan and Turkestan. This arrangement includes the oesaion by Afghanistan to Russia of Pfsjdeh. It is understood that the ameer has given his consent to this proposition, he acknowledging that his title to the latter was in doubt, and that in order to reach a peaceful settlement he would waiye his claim. Military movements in Afghanistan are exceedingly difficult asSfcresenton account of the almost unpreoedenteoT severity of the weather. Inoessant storms of snow and hail on tht mountains and rain in the valleys, have swollen the rivers into floods, which are impassable by any means of transportation with whioh Gen. Lumsden's forces are supplied. The weather is exceptionally oold, and this foot tells more severely on the British officers and Indian troops, who are from the south, than upon the Russians, who come from the north. The Official Messenger publishes a telegram from Gen. Komaroff whioh states that the remnant oi the Afghan detainment that was defeated in the Euahk river engagement fled to Herat. Komaroff also states that the tion are sounder and stronger. ALL law-abiding citizens join in hesrty commendation of the swift jusotice meted out to Halstead, who was recently sentenced to imprisonment for life for the murder of Henry Smith. It may be that Halstead did not, as he claims, strike the fatal blow, but the probability is that, despite his assertions, he is the guilty mas. At all events the community is well rid of him. and the safer for his incarceration. Had the same diligence been shown in the. Crouch murder case, there more than the seven mnpjewa inno cents, and not onjijif&mted. If the authorities ih^au places and at all times i v as prompt in action as in of Halstead, there is no doubt it would have a restraining pon the murderers, and do away with the necessity for the restoring of that relic of barbarism—capital punishment. ' m* W I T H I N the past few days twaiearful accidents have occurred, each of which WM attended with loss of life. We re. ponny ftr bought a cat. It happened soon after that Dick's master was sending to a foreign port a ship laden with rich" and beautiful things for sale, andTevery servant was allowed to add some articles to be sold, too. What had poor Die&P Even the clothes he woro belonged to his master. At last he remembered his little.cat, and sorrowfully parted with her and seni_ni)r_aw_ay^ She had a rough voyage, for winds drove the ship hither and thither, landing at last on the coast of Africa. The King of Barbary, hearing: what beautiful thiols the strange ship had brought, wished to buy some of them and invited the captain to dinner. T table was spread with delicious foojefan costly dishes, but almost be*6fe the king and his guests had^£$sfed the feast agroa^ sque^liD^^a^cratchinirwa* heard, and out^or the walls and floor came a^tftffm of rat?. The servants tried^lfrive them away, butthey were and hnngry that they clambered over the table, "and though the king scolded frightfully, ate his sumptuous dinner before his royal face. Dick's cat was brought in, and hunted the rats so bravely and cleverly that the king waa dolighteti, and bought her at onoe for such a great sum of money that with it Dick was able to set up a, Ann shop of his own. He became a> go'tl and rich man, married his former ruber's* daughter and was three times mayor of London, as the bells had said. Ths truth in this protty story is that a man named Pick Whittington, who lived 450 years ago, in the days of King Henry V., was so. good and wise a lord mayor that > o was chosen three times by the grateful peoplo of London. The bill providing for a free park around Niagara falls, and making an appropriation for the purohaae of the land has passed the New York legislature. Mrs. 8. T. Brown of Bagdad, N.

The offloe of the Buffalo Express wis destroyed by Are on the 16th. The loss is very heavy. Four hundred parsons are thrown out of employment. Secretary Swank, of the American iron and steel association, thinks the iron trade has seen its lowest level and a period of improTement must set in soon.

The order allowing the Northern Pacific road to change its lines of limit in Washing ton territory so as to inolnde valuable lands in its grant, has been revoked by the com miss'oaer of the land offioe. The New Orleans board of health have pasied resolutions requesting the governor to issue a quarantine proclamation imposing a detention of ten days on all vessels arriving there from infected ports on and after May 10. The Giand Trunk's semi-annual report shows a decrease, in the receipts for the six months ending December 81 of $1,2C5C00; and in the working^expenses $820 000, ss compared with the corresponding six months last year. Army officers at Washington are vieiog with taoh other to secure the position of superintendent of the soldiers' home at that oity.

Uncle John Sargison is quite sick again. Kittle Livermore ia visiting her many Friends in Chelsea. Minnie Pickell is spending this week with h«r sister, Lucy Sharp. Spring has come this lime for sure, tye were only joking when welaid so the other time. "There is a man in our town who thinks he's wonderous wise." Perhaps it wouldn't, be best to say any •more about him. — Our supervisor, Daniel Barton, started on his labors the first of this week. Rev. J. Kershaw has concluded to travel this summer for his health. He started last Wednesday for New Jersey, where he will visit among relatives for a short time. Why is it we always have so many •solemn looking young people in our town all the time? There is another added to the list since vMa«gie Marshall started for Williamston last Monday with her uncle, Chance Backus, to be gone a week or two. Somebody toid Us a sheep story a —few days ago about a lamb owned by - Patrick Kelley, of Putnam, which has a horn six inches long growing from its side. If it is true it will be worth taking to the fair to be classed among the curiosities. The "sneak'thief is among us again «nd he must be the [sneakiest kind of <a sneak to play his sneaking tricks on a minister. , This time he took the liberty to carry away three picket gates for Rev. 0. N. Hunt. One of them was found last Sunday in Bass Lake, nearly two miles from town, buF the 'I other two have not come to light ye^ S.G.Noble, who has charge^-of tire property, has offered >-small reward for the gates andra'"larger one for the thief, ajuHtls the wish of all Unadilla ^people that he may be caught and severely punished.

Dailey, of Tunkhani; ock, Pa., was afflicted for six years with asthma and broncliiikr.~during. which time the best' physicians could give no relief. .Her lite was despaired of. until in last October she procured a bottle of Dr. Kind's New Dtscovery when 'immediate relief was telt, and by continuing its use for a short time she was completely cured: gaining in flesh 50 lbs. in a few months. Free trial bottle of this certain cure for all throat and lung diseases at Winchell's DrUsr Store. Large bottle-$l. A large number of men and women suffer from their kidneys throughout their lives. The defective action of the kidneys is the source_of many distressing diseases, and induces rheiima-- tism, pains in the back and loins, indisposition to exertion, muscular lassitude, nervous trembling and weakness. Kellogg's Columbian Oil is warranted to cure this distressing disease in all its forms. No family should be without Kellog't Columbian Oil, as it is the best thing on a burn in existence. It removes the fire instantly, and cures all aches and pains as if by magic.,,.- ' ' P T T H E WEST END DRY GOODS STORE Chuck full of new goods. DUESS GOODS, a large assortment.

We don't mean those sponges thai grow "in the bottom of the -sea," and which afford food for muuL scientific •peculation, as to whether taey are ani- •mal or vegetable. No, the sponges of wMch we mean to complain are distinctly animal, and are of both sexes. We all suffer from them. B o r a and sponges are necessary evils, we sup pose, but not any moie to be admired for all that. Editors could a tale unfold of the way some people get their advertising done for nothing, and lawyers could tell of tons of legal advice given by them without receiving the slightest acknowledgment, pecuniary or otherwise. Doo1 torn, also, are the victims of these questioners. Generally it is only the younger members of these professions who suffer. Men old in the tricks of these friendly' sponges manage to evade them, buTtfye young editor, lawyort or doetoy, though he knows he is being defrauded, has/hot the courage to cut short the confidential chat, by saving that he hopes to make his living by receiving pay for that which his friend expects to get for the asking. No one expects a cupe&ter. blacksmith, jeweler, or any one wh^ •.jiiri & trade, to do the smallest job for nothing, and yet those who willingly ray for such labor seem to think they nave Hone nothing of which to DF ashamed if they "manage" to get le* gal or medical »advice without having to pay for it. And among women the fault is as great. We have heard women boast of knowing "all kinds of fancy work and never paid a cent for lessons.*' Their desire to learn fancy work? was greater than their delicacy of feeling. Women who make their living by dresB-jnaking, millinery, teaching fancy work, or painting, are daily imposed Upon by friends and strangers who come to thenc for suggestions and advice about material, shades, designs, and patterns—defrauding the worker of hpurB of valuable time without a thought of paying for the advice given, and often do not even thank the person for the suggestion which she h»j spent time and money in acquiring. . Strange to -say, these sponges are oftenest found among those who could well afford to pay for what they want; and stranger still is the fact that thej would resent, with the greatest indignation, a refusal to oblige them, or an intimation that they were taking advantage of another's politeness, and thus getting for nothing that which the giver has a right to, expect something more substantial for than mere~thahks. — Minnie W.
