All are cordially invited to come and participate in devouring the choice viands, aud have a social visit. We have just come to the conclusion why it i* that Hro. A. R. Crittenden, of the Livingston Herald, has so much business to attend toot" late at this place. Although we have always supposed that it was for the purpose of canvassing for his paper, we find 4hat- we- are. -hadlyl. j.nistaken.,_._ that it is not the most attractive feature that trequently^calls him here. A pretended horse buyer visited Brighton recently with the intention of purchasing horses on credit and then skip the country, but some of Brighton's citizens mistrusted that something was wrong had him arrested and placed in jail, and on the following night he bedame tired of his quarters, dug a hole through the will and lett the citizens to mourn iiis departure. Would it not be a good idea for our conncilmen to gee what they can do towards getting-afire protection lor this village? Although We have oeen very lucky m the past, there is no reason why we will not at any time be the victim of] a terrible fire, and^vith nothing to work with, we could not help ourse'ves at all, for-tfiere is not even a well in our village that contains water enough to quench a small hre.

"* A Miehifa* Scientist A. correspondent or the Detroit Tribunt writing from Battle Creek, says: Edward Bringham has been in this city several days visiting his parents, Uis name is known in scientific circles all over the American continent as one of the most conscientious and thorough of Booth American explorers. He left on bis third and last expedition about fourteen months ag* and has been working.in the interest of Hillsdale* and Albion colleges and the Battle Creek public schools. Arriving on the South American coast, he started from Bera,apoint seventy-five miles up the south mouth of the Amazon and followed up that river, branching off into several of its tributaries and deviating from the usual path of tourists and explorers, discovering many relics of antiquity and a Sreat many curiosities. He followed the mazon to a point called Juramaguas by canoe, from that place he proceeded oyer land by a path never before followed by any explorer for three days; then struck ' what is known as "Orton's Path,'' on the Berana Na Bura. He traveled on that Stream by canoe, all the cargo being carried on the backs of natives to the head of canoe navigation on that river. Then he went afoot accompanied only by peonr and changing these often over the mountains, to Chachapoyas, Peru, visiting many important points on the route. He then went on with mules and peons to Balsas, on the Maranon in tho upper part of the Amazon,', and thence walked over the mountains to Gelendin, a valley point about 500 miles from the Pacific coast. From there he proceeded with mules to Cjamarca. After remaining at this point for a time he went on to the coast which he struck at Pascasmayo, Peru. He then went up the coast to Guayaquil, in Ecu* ador.and thence to Quito, the city which, until the occupation of Leadville, has always been called the highest in the world, located in the heart of the Andes. This terminated the expedition. He has secured a large number of interesting specimens and curiosities, which will enrich the cabinets of the colleges in whose interest he went out. Hot Guilty. Capt. Duncan McCaig was shot dead by Emma Moore", his divorced wife, at Port Huron, at 2 o'clock on the morning of March 25, 1886. There had been quarreling in the family for years, and outside interference was often necessary, so there were many who were not surprised by the fatal culmination.

The legislature Bleeti a Senator-Several Sills Passed - Gtneral Hswi from the "*ate Capital. LA.NMSJT, Juuuary 24, 1 J?7. Tne most;important event in legiiirr4"* circles the/past week was the election of a I United States senator. The vote waa taken separately in each house In the senate Stockbridge received 22 vote*, aud/ 66 votes were cast for him in the house. The final formalities of tho election were concluded the day following the election iu joint Reunion of the tWo houses and the HOD. Franoia B. Stockbridge officially declared to have been chosen for the full term of she years from the 4th of March, 1888. The result of the vote iu each house was announced by . President pro tem. Monroe of the senate, who presided over the joint convention, and immediately thereafter the convention adjourned. One of the afternoon sessions of the house was devoted to the special order of memorial services in honor of the late Ovid N. Case of Detroit. Speeches eulo- Sistic of the character and (Virtues of the eceased were made. Memorial resolutions were introduced and adopted, and the whole ordered printed in the journals of the house. A yet more substantial method of testifying to the worth and usefulness of the deceased, was when the vote to pay to the window the deceased member's salary promptly prevailed. The senate has set apart Friday, Jan. 28, for memorial services on the life and death of the late representative. The senate has passed the bill relating to the discharge of mortgages, one incorporating the village of Carsonville, and spent considerable time discussing the bill relating to the solemnization of marriages and the issuing of licenses therefor. The bill J)roposes radical changes in the marriage aws of the state, but in spite of its radical nature it is strongly endorsed by the clergy and legal fraternity of the state. The-house has passed bills to punish drunk and intoxicated persons; to incorporate the village of Capac: to amend the act incorporating the city of Manistee; to amend section 2 of chapter 4 of act 32b* of the session laws of 1883 to provide a charter for the city of Detroit; to amend the acts relative to offenses against property. One measure which ilicited considerable discussion and which was defeated by a large majority, was that to require circuit and supreme court judges to transmit .to the governor certain recommendations as. to the amendment of the statutes. aoowwE The bill to repeal the act establishing standard time called forth an animated debate. It - was very noticeable that the division of sentiment was about on sectional lines as between the east and the west, although one of* the members from Wayne county voted against the bill. When the roll was called 49 members voted.aye and 46 voted in the negative. Tho bill relating to offenses against the lives and persons ot individuals involving the raising of "the age of consent" to 18 years, come in for a snare of the attention of the..house. Floods of petitions are pouring in every day, asking for the passage of the bill. The petitions all pray for the tH year limit. The ago limit is the pivotal point of the measure, some favoring 16 years, and a not small constituency Support the 18 year limit.

Sho h a d been a poor girl a n d h a d n o t r o u s s e a u t o speak of, a n d she found it necessary t o p u t her pride in her pocket a n d a s k for w h a t she needed. It was b a r d enough for a wife t o d o t h a t , b u t t o be refused was something she had" n o t calculated on. She knew t h a t her h u s b a n d h a d a large bank a c c o u n t — t h a t there was no reason why she should n o t b e dressed a s well a s a n y lady in t h e land. B u t when she had said playfully, " J o n a s , shall I buy myself some winter things to-day? I need a shawl dreadfully,"he1 had answered, " I t h o u g h t y o u were t o o sensible a woman t o run. after t h e fashiojis, Sara; I'm sure y o u h a v e very dfcent things " t h a t y o u might wear a long time yet.'! " T h a t shows how much men-know," Srtra answered, determined t o be p i e a s a n t a n d n o t show' t h a t she was h u r t . "You would n o t like v d u r wife t o look shabby, J o n a s ?

" His wife looked a t him a n d said nothing. " E c o n o m y -is a great thing, S a r a , " said J o n a s , uneasily. " I t would be olreadful t o die in the p o o r house, y o u know; a n d you d o n ' t care for other people's admiration-,-do you, Sara, when you know y o u r J o n a s likes y o u iust as we.ll in y o u r well-saved clothes? We w o n ' t call them s h a b b y , Sara, only well-saved." "Call them what you please,-Jonas; they merit both epithets." She s a t quietly, with her h a n d s folded on the table betore her, for a While. H e r temper was raising fast, but she had sense enough t o crush it down. A miser is the- victim.of a v i c e - t h a t m a s t e r him just a s a d r u n k a r d is. J o n a s was ashamed, of himself ever a s he spoke, aiuTlshe "Knew" it.

B u t he could n o t b^'icg himself t o d o it. After awhile his wife looked i n t o t h e r o o m with her old b o n n e t a n d shawl on a n d said: " J o n a s , I a m going t o spend the d a y with my sister-in-law, b u t I shall be home before dinner t i m e . " " I hope you will enjoy yourself, my d e a r . " sai,d J o n a s . He saw h e r eyes were heavy with weaping, a n d looked a w a y ashamed of himself.

He had grieved her, and she was t h e only thing he loved on earth. He went home earlier t h a n usual t h a t evening, t o make w h a t amends his soul would consent to, a n d a s he walked, briskly along, being light upon his feet yet—for who h a s ever heard of a miser growing fat?—he thought he w.ould never again bring the tears t o those good, kind eyes. Never, never again, a n d then—What was t h a t crowd? People were coming his way, looking b a c k w a r d a s they came. Men, boys, women, all tho rifratl tiiat- an asked to Me the maBMer.

And^now he was in the "midst of t h e throng and close t o four policemen, who, with set faces, marched in time, bearing between them a stretcher on which lay a h u m a n form. It was covered—covered with a shawl. J o n a s looked.

" Sir Andrew Clarke, one of the highest English authorities on coast defences, says the costly plan projected by the United States board of fortifications belongs to an old system falling into disuse. "Instead of alleged invulnerability my principle is invisibility o £ defenses. When you erect enormUfF fortifications you offer a target for the enemy's shots. With Lieut. Maxim of the United States I have worked out what I call a disappearing gun system, which can be applied to the heaviest guns made. This renders fortifications unnecessary.- The gun occupies a hole in the ground. When in action it is raised by a sort of hydraulic elevator, and after tiring sinks into the pit again to be reloaded. Thus it is exposed for only a few seconds." y Frank C. Haddock, the only surviving son of the late Rev. George C.

The speech read from the throne excited but little interest. The following are the salient points in the address: England's foreign relatious are friendly. Affairs in southeastern Europe are in a fair way of settlement, b u t England must insist upon the observance of the t r e a t y in Berlin. In Burmah and Egypt there is a gratifying improvement. Grave anxiety is caused by the state of affairs rn Ireland. The system adopted there of combining ot force tenants to evade just debts may compel further legislation and the governm e n t will not bfesitate to ask additional powers if necessary. Tbe bills to ^ ^ s u b - mitted by the government relate to land" transfer, railway rates, trade marks and the facilitation of agricultural allotments. The speech is characterized by more than tJfae usual vagueness. The hints of legislation for Ireland are especially obscure. The only allusion to the conspiracy bill is j found in the reference to the plan of cam- 1 paign and the government's intention to introduce if heces>ary a bill altering the existing law so as to enable it to cope withthe movement. An indication of the extension of the Ashbourne act is given in \ the-expre sion of the hope that the labors j of the rent commission will have issue in a measure to ameliorate the condition of the country. Tho lending measure for England uud Scotluud is a county governm e n t bill. The most i m p o r t a n t event'of the day was Lord Randolph .

He insist- r"ed"on"having tlieue estimates reduced, bulfc his colleagues refused to cut them down. • -""Although," added Lord Randolph, UI had The .national legislative committee of the Knights of Labor has sent a letter .to the president calling his attention t o the inter state commerce bill, and offering the following objections to it: First the commission clause; second tho arbitrary power conferred upon the commission; third the exclusive jurisdiction given to the federal courts to hear and determine causes Arising under the act; fourth, the acknowledged uncertainty as to the meaning of nearly all of the provi>ions of the measure. In behalf of 5,000,000 oonstitutenta, the committee ask t h e president to veto the bill. > A subject of much interest t o therfadles was before the senate the other day, viz: the proposed woman suffrage constitutional amendment. The proposed amendm e n t reads as follows: "The right of citisens- of the United Sttftes to vote shall not be denied or abrWged_bx.tiie_Un.it.ed_ States^ or fcy any state on account of sex. Congress shall have power by appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of this article." Senators Brown-and* Vest strenuously opposed the measure, while Senators Dolph and Blair were equally as much in its favor. The amendment was defeated, however, by a vote of 18 to 84. A bill is before the senate to amend the oleomargarine act. The proposed amend ment reduces the annal t a x on wholesale deatenrrn ohjonrnrgitrine from $180 to fHK> and the license tax on retail dealers from $48 to $L2.per annum. The licenlo tax on manufacturers of oleomargarine is left unchanged. Senator Be?k. the author of the amendment, is confident it will be pa-sed, and that, too, with very little opposition. ™ * • The number of candidates for places on the inter-state commerce commission is surprising. The bill has not yet been sent to the president, and yet the names of those who are confident that they are tho ones whose appointment will insure tho successful workings of the bill, is legion. There has been no correspondence between this country and Nicaragua relative to the construction of a ship canal since 1885, but within the past few days intelli- Sence has been received t h a t a contention as been signed between Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the arbitration of their boundary dispute by the president of the United ^.States. The convention only a w a i t s ratification and exchange to be a fuu and-tinal disposition of the queNtlon of jurijHUition over a p a r t of tbe^ropoaed canal route. — * • - —— Advices from Hong Korrg^grve addrttbnal particulars ot tbe sacking of Hakoi and Mon-Koi.

When he found his colleagues refused to t r y to retrench. "The policy of this c o u n t r y , " ho said, 'should be peaceful every where. Tho government's estimates were too great for a time of" peace. It has been said I resigned in haste. The fact is, there were difficulties between myself and my colleagues in the cabinet almost from the beginning of the present government. As I did no-t-desiro-to remain wrungling in the cabinet, Jr'a-.ked to be allowed to retire unless the government ex- !senses were reduced within absolute peace i m i t s . " Gladstone delivered an eulogy on Earl Iddesleigh, whom he said ho had the honor to introduce into public iLe. Ho said the sentiments of sorrow for the. earl's death were universal and based-on tho sterling merits of tho man. Mr. Gladstone applauded what he called Lord Randolph Churchill's sacrifices in behalf of a sound economic policy. He (Gladstone) found no fault with the government's foreign policy. He strongly objected to tho severance of the treasury portfolio from the'premiership, the forms necure. He also obatT6h" 6'fTn"e offices of premier and foreign secretary, which lpade one m a n responsible for tho diction of momentous foreign dispatches. He hoped the. country would oppose anv oppression of Bulgaria by a foreign power. Referring to the Canadian fisheries question he suid he trusted t h a t the papers on the subject would speedily be presented to the house. He was ready to bet.ten. to one. though i t was hardlylikely t h a t the wager would bo accepted. t h a t the local government question would not be settlod this session. Tha Sovernraent, he said, also proposedv,to eal with criminals in Irebmd, although they tried to raako it sound better by using tho term ''procedure."

Gov. Luce has issued n requisition for the r e t u r n of S. H. Van Leuven of Tuscola * county, to Arkansas, on a charge of fiendish murder. Van Leuven and Thomas Hess formerly lived in Michigan, and removed to Prairie county, Ark. Hess' house and barn were burned last fall nnd be intimated t h a t Van Leuven was tbe incendiary.... Van Leuven is said to have threatened lies*, and -he borrowed a gun and bought shot on Doc. 11 last. Hess was sfterward found literally blown to pieces with small shot, and there was notrnce of the murderer, b u t the shot agreed with t h a t bought by Van Leuven. T h e latter disappeared b u t was tracked to Tuscola oouuty by Sheriff Rheinhart and arrested. V / & } •;\ v Jj<i"'V' Exj 4 , * r>l ?*• :, .. .* \ VW ,.• n.Uin.

The line from Dexter to Mason is 35 miles, and according to the engineer's estimates, which the proposition is based upon, the Central asks the people to expend in material and construction, in round numbers, $180,000. The engineer's estimates are considered high on moving the earthwork, which is 30 cents a yard. The people held meetings along this line previous to the survey a n ^ -made the following pledges to the M, C.R.

SIGLER. t< CORNER DBUfi STORE/ A'peculiar black paper, made from the bark of certain trees, serves the purpose of slates in Sjamand Barman, the writing being erase by means of betel Isavea instead of with a sponge. German experiments have bhown that cast-iron pillars remain nearly upright and sustain their load in the hottest fire, while those ot wrought iron bend to such a degree as to be valueless as supports. in track-laying, a mistake of the earlv engineers was the use of stone sleepers, making a road so ri?i«j toat rails were often broken. Steel has superseded iron for rails, at a present cost of only half that, of the iron rails in 1870, while the durability is about three times as great. » The advisability of testing as fosrfrry weather signals sudden flashes—such as thrfse of gunpowder—has been suggested to the British lighthouse authorities by Lord Rayleigh and Prot. Stokes, who think the flashes might attract attention where an equal fixed light might escape notice. An attempt to infuse new vigor into the degenerating potato by crossing the cultivated varieties with the wild plant has been for two or three seasons in progress at Reading, Enj?., and has proven very successful fchus far. Tbes hybrid plants produce a good yield of tubers of excellent form and quality. LANCET PROSPECTS.—That surgery has reached the stage where no further* advance need be expected was re- (rently expressed as the opinion of Dr. Erichsen, a -distinguished British surgeon.. On the other hand, Sir \V. Stokes, President of the College of Surgeons in Ireland, anticipates a great future development of antiseptic surgery, declares brain surgery to be yet in its infancy, and believes it quite probable tbat in time diseased lungs may be found amenable to surgical treatment. MEDIEVAL SCIENCE.—IU their search tor the philosopher's &tbne, the old alchemists left untried no mixture of familiar or unfamiliar ingredients. Au anciejlt work, entitled "Toe (iold Maker's Guide," furnished this promising formula; "Take of the gall ofa black tomcat, killed when toe night approaoheth, OIIH part of the brains of a nvght owl, taken from out its head wu.rju the mo;n ng.dawneth. rive parts: mix in the hoot of an HSS wh»n the tid'j turneth; le;tve it ti;l it doth breed maggot*; place it on thy b^enst-bone when the moon- shmeth bright-andthou wiltsee a sight which the eye of \ mortal miin ne'er beheld afore." ; I A JnptTKH Rpp-HoT?—A memberoil C^rrsf oondetice New York Times.

When he topk hold of his man he never met <with any resistance, and it is told of him that when' Verger was called and on a hundred pre* texts sought .to postpone the fatal moment, Heindrich simply walked into the cell, looked fixedly at him, and said. "Eh bien, Verger," and the other shuddered, rose and followed. Heindrich died on the Good Friday o! 1872, at the age of 70, after exercising lor 50 years his profession, and was succeeded by his aide, Boch, who wa* hie antithesis, being as jocose and bonbomme as the other was reserved and solemn. Roeh was a tall, power' ful man.with a placid face,gray whisk' era, and gold earrings, looking on execution days, in his black frock coat* opened to show his cable-like watch chain, as if he were a workman in Sunday clothes. You always expected to hear him sing "Le Petit Ebeniste," or some such ditty ffbpular with his class. His bon mots were proverbial, but they were not in very .good taste, as for example: "Come, my lad, be of courage; no one wants to hurt you," and, when Albert prof> osed to address a speech to the pub' ic. "Bah! Fit abridge it!" but they delighted the jailers and gave copy to the newspapers. He took part in 173 executions. ^ His hobby was his Sillotine, which he called his bijou, e rubbed it bright, furbished the blade, wiped off with his pocket handkerchief every grain of dust and speck of mud, and having heard of the "sin* ister noise" made by the knife in falling, AArranqed india-rubber linings for the grooves, and in order to save thtj, "patient" from the sensation produced by: the sight of the knife, concealed it with a screen. Roch was married and the father of eight children, whom he adqred; and when he "functioned" in the provinces, his first act after the operation was to dispatch a telegram— to his family, telling how the "affair had been conducted," and if there / had been "a good attendance." He died in 1870 ol apoplexy, at theage of 60. The present incumbent, M. Deibler, an ex-cabinet- maker - ot Dijon, entered upon his career as an amateur and iron* Tamour de 1'art in 1885.

The modern engines possess at least four times as great steaming power, coupled with six-fold weight. Compared with a modern locomotive, tbe'TIanet" type of 1832 tcr 1836 had a weight of 7£ tons instead 45 tons, a five-great area of 7 square feet instead of 20square feet and a heat-: ingsurface of 300square feet insteued j of 1,400 square teet. An almost incredible ecouomy of fuel has been effected.! About tifty years ago, for instance,' one railway line consumed 12,600 tons per anuum, while a few years later 3, 100 tons sufficed for a considerably greater traffic. The tractive power has been increased fivefold, and nil gradients up to 1 in 20 are now readily surmounted. Ordinary speeds | have considerably .ncreased yet express i and special trains run but little faster.

But his children have learned to share popular- prejudices against the profession. His son preferred to enter as a clerk in one of Parisian monster stores.

The English custom of introductions, which can be briefly and accurately defined as not introducing a t all,_U graphically indicated by an incident related by Mr. Edwin^TCowTes, the editor of the Cleveland Leader, who, in a letter from London to his paper,4ays: In crossing, I became^uite well acquainted with an Engrnm gentleman, and when we arrived at Queenstown* we took the cars together forlxmdon, crossing the channel from Dublin. He g^ave me his card and tendered me a very earnest invitation to call upon him at his place of business. When we arrived at London he wa* met atv the depot by bis wife. After our greeting was over, I naturally expected that our eighteen days' acquaintance on the ocean, his knowing who I was, and his having invited me to call at his place of business would entitle me to an introduction to his wife. But he did not do so, and I considered it an oversight, and thought nothing of it. When I sailed at his place of business I was most cordially received by him, and had a pleasant visit of over hall an hour; his "brother and partner conversed wirh me during that time, and I was never introduced to either of them. I afterward mentioned this apparent want of politeness to an American friend, an ex-naval officer, who had lived in England for a number of months. He replied that the English never introduce. "Why," said he, "I have attended dinners at one of th« navy clubs, and 1 was never introduced to a soul.'r This was a revelation to me, and it accounted for th« seeming neglect of my steamer friend for not introdncing me t o hts wife* brother And partoer. •'<ft y STATE NEW& Michigan Waterways. The report of tbe board of engineers upon the relation to commerce of the two lmportaut waterways known»s the Portage lake and river improvement company canal and the Lake Superior ship canal, railway and iron company canal, has been sent to the hou»o by the secretary of war. The examination wan required by tbe laal river and harbor bill. Items for the improvement and acquisition by the government of this canal, as well an the Sturgeon bay canal, were included in that bill, but were stricken out in conference and examination* ordered by way of compromise. The board recommends: __ 1. That the offer of the companies be ac- j cepted to transfer all right and title to the ' canal, the wprks of improvement on tbe Portage riv^r, the harbor works upon I Lake Superior and Keweenaw bay, with I all lands and franchises connected therewith, free from all incumbrances, and involving no other payments for bonds or Otherwise whatsoever for tbe gross sum of $850,000. 2. That the route 1« made a free waterway of the United States subject to no tolls or assessments whatever. In the opinion of the board the price asked U reasonable and the companies are willyyj to yield to the popular demand for a free waterway as soon as they are protected from actual loss themselves. The board calls attention to existing obstructions in the route and submits estimates for a navigable depth of sixteen feet with a minimum width of seventy-five feet; also estimates for enlarged ana safe entrances from Keweenaw bay and from the lake. The estimates are as follows: For extinguishing private titles $3:0,000; for opening the route $22.1,000; for entrance from Lake Superior $>50,000; for entrance from Keeweenaw bay $320,000—aggregate $1,645,000. When the needs of commerce require a depth of 35 feet an additional expenditure of *T30,OJO will be required. A similar report from the engineer board upon the Sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan ship canal, connecting the . waters of Green Bay with Lake Michigan was also submitted to the house. In this report the chief of engineers says: A s a result of a most careful and impartial examination of all the matters relating to the subject the board concludes: It the barrier between Green bay and Lake Michigan were now in its natural condition, the construction of a canal between them on or near the line of the existing Canal would be a proper work to be done bv the United States, but the United States should not be made responsible for an insufficient canal encumbered with a heavy lien; results due to an ineiticient agency not contemplated by the original Set of congress. 2. That the grant of land to the state of Wisconsin vra* sufficient to have built the «anal. and should the'United States assume control no payment will be due for its construction and maintenance. _ ^ 3. That owing to its inadequate depth the existing canal has only restricted importance. 4. That the canal is not a harbor of refuge in any proper sense. 5., That Sturgeon bay is the true harbor of refuge, and to make it available it should be improved. 6. That the conversion of the bay into. a harbor of refuge accesible through the Sturgeon bay canal may be regarded as a public necessity. 7. Whether the government assumes control of the canal or not, the tolls should not exceed actual cost of operation , and maintenance. ~ i... r Second Cavairy^BeTinion.

The event* of the week in Lansing were the seating of John Kairden as senator from the nrxt senatorial district and the fiassage of the constitutional amendment n the senate by the necessary two-thirds vote .submitting the question of prohibition to tbe people a t the spring election. The contest is now changed from the legislature to tbe people, as the governor has approved the joint resolution. ., Nothing else of importance has transpired. Henry Chamberlain's protest again-t Gov. Luce acting as governor because of his being a member of the board of agriculture made only a passing ripple on the current of events. But tbe report of the Judiciary committee to whom it was reerred left no doubt among the fair minded that as soon as Mrs. Luce took the oath of office as governor of Michigan his position in the state board of agriculture -became vacant. I All after the enacting clause has been stricken out of the bill to grunt teachers' tad certificates to graduate* of the Michigan uuivereity. Amoug the bills introduced in the senate is one to provide for indeterminate sentences and disposition of criminals under such suutwnce. + A joint resolution was passed in committee of the whole in the house calling for a constitutional amendment requiring that after tbe year l'JOO one must know how to read and write in the English language before he can vote. An exception is made In the case of one who i-> blind or armless, or has some other physical disability making it impossible for him to read or write. It it passes, as it ought to, it wilt probably be submitted at the geuural election in November. The bill prohibiting the employment of Pinkerton detectives as deputy sheriffs passed the house without a dissenting vote, but the one asking for the repeal of what is known as the Baker conspiracy law met a snag in the shape of a petition from Mr. F. A. Buker, its author in the session of 1877, that caused the friends of the bill to repeal to lay it over until such time as a complete canvass of the house demonstrated the certainty of its "passage. The bill for purity of elections was introduced by a representative from Detroit, and may be so amended as to apply only to that city.. The recent re counts there, have shown that if one thing is needed more than unotber it is some method whereby the honest desires of duly qualified electors can be expressed without fear or fraud. The provisions of the bill now pending calls for a system very similar to that which now prevails in Franc j and Canada. The legislature will take a recess of 13 days, from February 3 to February 15. On the afternoon of the 3rd the entire body will proceed to Ann Arbor, arriving there at supper time and remaining all night, being entertained at the home-s of the leading citizens. Friday they will inspect thedifferent departments of the university, and Friday evening go to Detroit, as guests of ex Gov.s Alger, to attend the reception given to Gov. Luce. SenatorMontoe has in preparation a bill to give to women qualified as citizens the right to vote at township, village or city elections for all municipal officers. The measure is advocated by the woman's suffrage association of the state. The a-sociation is now engaged in organizing in all the cities and villages of Michigan, and some formidable petitions are expected. The hottse has recommitted the bill, ..permitting suldiers' wives to enter th*f state soldier*' home, wheu married prior to 1862. An amendment was unanimously parsed limiting the act to wive* married prior to 1&08. Mr. Baker urged that the, noma was already overflowing with soldiers; that it was built on the dormitory plan and there was no accommodations Tor women. If the bill passed more buildings would be required. The matter was deferred till the committee can visit the home and ascertain if women can be accommodated. A delegation of good men and women who waut the "age of consent" in females raised to 18 years appeared before tbe judiciary committees of the senate and house the other morning. Dr. L. Anna Ballard of Lansing, representing the state department of sooial purity, opened the discussion by reading a carefully prepared paper in which she took strong grounds that the limit should not bo fixed at 14 or 10, but should be placed as high as 18 years. Mrs. Rachel Bailey of Hastings, represenative of the state board of the W. C. T. U., Mesdames Ketchum and Elizabeth Eagles? field of. Grand Rapids, and one or two other ladles, followed in chort addresses, while Bishop Gillespie of. Grand Rapids and the Rev. M. M. Callan of Lansing also spoke iu support ot the same proposition. Other ladies of the delegation were Mesdames J. B. Porter and S. V. Emery of Lansing and Hodges of Grand Rapids. Notwithstanding the efforts of these earnest people it seems wholly improbable that the present legislature will raise the age of consent above fourteen years, which will bo four years higher thun it now ia. A memorial has also been received by the house from the association of prosecuting attorneys asking that the statutes relating to the age of .consent be amended and the age ba fixed at 11 years. The bill providing for an additional justice of the supreme court has been favorably reported, to the senate, and it seems practically certain that the measure will be passed. .*._.

O'lteTlly, Ovsr 40,000 'Longshoremen Quit Work. Twenty thousand men are now on strike among tho coal shovelers, 'longshoremen, freight handlers and men employed on tbe river front in New York in almost every capacity, and the number is augmented to close on 40,000 by the strikers on the Brooklyn and Jersey shores. In consequence it is almost impossible for any of the steamers for Europe or otherwise to leave port. The order went forth Jan. 27 from the headquarters of the 'longshoremen's union, which was backed by tha knights of labor assembly No. 49, and the next morning the men turned out. Beachwalkers were sent out to cover all the various points on the river fnonts where the trouble was concentrated, and they had particular instructions to use every means to prevent any disturbance. The strike along the river front of Brooklyn went into effect the same morning. All tbe men went out quietly Jieaceably and determinedly. The reight has accumulated on the docks ready for shipment, while several vessels are waiting to discharge cargoes. The police say they do not expect any trouble with the stnkors. They are on guard at all the stores from Fulton Ferry to Red Hook. Later in the day the authorities saw fit as a double precautionary measure to have the entire police force held in reserve so as .to be ready to meet any outbreak. On the evening of January 27, the striking 'longshoremen and coul shovelers held a large mass meetiug in Cooper union, preceded by a parade, with about 15,000 men in line. There was no disorder. When the parade arrived at Cooper union they •were unable to gain admission, as the hall was packed. An outdoor meeting was organized 'and addressed by John McCaffrey and J. R. McKegne5T, who congratulated the men on their prospects or success and promised that other trades would ioin them if nece-sary. Inside the large hall were packed lully 4.0.^0 people.

L Mr. T h o m a s Mathers was ortly a -ledear clerk in the banking firm of Hodgson, Duuford, a n d P u r r , St. Bwithin's L a n e , L o m b a r d Street. It was neither a very responsible n o r a very lucrative position, and T o m m y (as all his friends called him) longed, a s perhaps fifty t h o u s a n d young men in a similar s i t u a t i o n in L o n d o n a r a longing a t this m o m e n t , for a chance of t u r n i n g h i s b r a i n s t o better a c c o u n t t h a n adding u p columns of figures a n d copying entries from one big b o o k int o another. T h e chance did not come, b u t T o m m y did n o t despair; a n d there was this difference between him and the great majority of his fellowprisoners of t h e desk—he h a d t h e pluck t o work a w a y manfully a t whatever he t h o u g h t might possibly some d a y help him t o b e t t e r his position, even though h e , could n o t see exactly how it was t o bo done. With this end in view he got upFrerxeh, Germ a n , a n d Italian; and he did everything he could t o pick up information a s t o the financial circumstances of t h e customers of the b a n k . H e s c r a p e d a c q u a i n t a n c e with every clerk employed by t h o s e who had accounts a t t h e bank, a s far as he possibly could, and picked up in time an idea, more o r less accurate,"as t o the commercial s t a t u s of m o s t ot them. Otte day he h a p p e n e d t o ' b e a t lunch in his favorite r e s t a u r a n t , when an a c q u a i n t a n c e named Darling came in a n d s a t down beetle him. After a little casual-conversation, Darling asked him t o let hTnr-k/now of a n y v a c a n t Clerkship he might &ear of.

" W d l , " growled the banker, " w h a t d o you w a n t ?

H e r o tiirt-ctHo his place among the o t h e r fclerks article sore a t the rebuff, yet n o t entire!y$i§satisfied. On his way h o m e Mr. Hodgson ree n t e r e d t h a t t h e k a n k held some h a r e s of the Mudford Chemical Comp a n y a s security for the balance of t h e account of o n e of their c u s u n ^ e r s who was deemed r a t h e r s h a k y . Nex< morning, accordingly, he called T o m - m y into his r o o m and questioned him a s t o the n a t u r e of his information. " P e r h a p s y o u will excuse ray entering into tfiat sir," said T o m m y , with t h e u t m o s t coolness. Mr. Hodgson.dismissed M a t h e r s t o h i s - f o r k with a dissatisfied grunt a n d a j v a v e of his h a n d , a n d immediately set tcMvork t o h a v e the shares of t h e M u d f o r d C o m p a n y exchanged for o t h e r securities. T o m m y , who managed t o know m o s t of w h a t happened a t the b a n k , noted the fact and rejoiced. Within six weeks the shareholders of t h e Mudford Chemical Company met a n d resolved t o go into liquidation; and, though Mr. Hodgson did not think it w o r t h while t o t h a n k t h e junior clerk for the information he had given, T o m m y was perfectly satisfied. He knew t h a c people d o not forget things which save their pockets. It happened t h a t , some m o n t h s alter tlie incident of the Munford Chemical Company, Messrs. Hodgson h a d i m p o r t a n t business t o t r a n s a c t in Turin, and it was t h o u g h t advisable t h a t t h e senior p a r t n e r should proceed t o t h a t city t o look after it. There was some idea, if the prospect seemed favorable, or s t a r t i n g a b r a n c h house there. The question then arose, which of the clerks should a c c o m p a n y the head of t h e firm a s his secretary; and Mr. Hodgson, mindful of the service which Mathers b a d rendered him, consulted the' head-cashier on the propriety of t h e selection. P a r k - inson, it happened, had a favorite of his own, a n d T o m m y would h a v e lost his o p p o r t u n i t y if he had n o t remembered t h a t a t One time, when i i e was bent on acquiring foreign tongues, he h a d spent his evenings for a few m o n t h s over an Italiam*«grammar, He contrived t o let this fact be known, a n d in due time Mr. P a r r informed his senior p a r t n e r t h a t "it seemed t h a t young Mathers knew something of the language." Thi3 decided the point. T o m m y received his orders, a n d in three d a y s more found himself on b o a r d t h e Dover and. Calais packet, in charge of a large dispacth box a n d Mr. Hodgson's bulky p o r t m a n t e a u s . The journey was by no means a comfortable one, for t h e young m a n found t h a t he was expected t o travel second-class, a n d generally act a s courier t o his employer. When a t last Turin was reached, things were no better. M a t h e r s found t h a t his I t a l i a n went b u t a very little way; and, besides, he h a d to d o the work of three clerks. Sometimes he was t e m p t - ed t o regret t h a t he h a d left his comfortable- rooms in T o r r i n g t o n Square, Bloomsbury; b u t in his calmer moments he reflected t h a t a t least he was occupying a different position from t h a t of the rest of his fellow:clerks. The chief m a n in Turin, so far a s Hodgson, Dunford, a n d P a r r ^ were concerned, was a certain Count Matsoni. The Count's nobility did n o t prevent his being t h e principal mem-, ber of a large firm of m e r c h a n t s a n d shipowners. T o cultivate' this m a n was, indeed, the chief reason of Mr. Hodgson/s journey t o Turin; and, a s theTJld'banker knew very well bow t o lay aside his crusty a n d p o m p o u s m a n n e r when it suited his book t o d o o^he soon came t o be a not unfrequemVguest a t the Villa Marsoni. Mr. Hodgapn began t o see t h a t there as a~very fair^xpening for an English bank*at Turin, tuftKhe was still engaged in pushing his way. here a n d there,,when ho received news^tkat his wife was seriously ill. This made "hi hurry off to England, leaving Mat! T)eliih(TTrim.1b complete a t r a n s a c t i b 11 which he had already practically arranged. Delighted a t being left t o represent the firm, for ever so s h o r t a time, and ever so formal a m a t t e r , ^ M a t h e r s was pacing down the principal street of t h a t gr§at city with a look of considerable importance on his face when he met Count Marsoni. The C o u n t stopped and asked afterjtheoid b a n k - er, when Tqniiny "proudly informed Moreas a m a t t e r of form t h a n a n y thing else, for he know his case was hopeless, M a t h e r s formally ^ s k e d the h a n d of t h e signorinain marriage, laying the blame of his irregular declaration on t h e strength of his passion a n d ignorance of Italian etjquette. T h e Count heard Turn t o t h e e n d . a n d then surveyed him from nea4 t o loot with a look of contempt. " I t is a piece of gross p r e s u m p t i o n in you—a mere clerk, a nobody—to address ray .daughter," said the Count a t last in English, with his chin; in the air. "Of course," said T o m m y bitterly, stung by t h e Count's look, "If I were a p a r t n e r in Hodgson's, though, you would give me a different answer." "If you were a p a r t n e r in Messrs. Hodgson, Dunford a n d P a r r ' s , " said the Count, with an altered expression, " t h a t would m a k e a difference of course; b u t a s J d o not u n d e r s t a n d t h a t you h a v e a n y prospect of entering t h a t firm, I d o n t see how t h a t affects y o u . " T o m m y sighed, a n d made his escape as soon as possible. He knew t h a t he might as well ask for t h e Lord Chancellorship as ask for a partnership in the b a n k . l a p two d a y s he remained in a s t a t e oi ^ l l a p s e a n d then he received advices froyft Jbondon -informing him of the decision t o which t h e firm had come with respect t o the new branch.

"Hellow, sir!" cried Mr. Hodgson, as he caught sight of the young man. " W h a t , are you doing here? Anything wrong?" "Nothing is wrong t h a t I know of, sir," said the young man, coolly. "Then why are -you here without leave?" asked the juuior p a r t n e r . "Didn't y o u get our letter informing you of our new a r r a n g e m e n t s ? " " I did, Mr. F a r r .

"^hyHiciaus and scientists have long been trying to throw li^ht upon the cause, and if possible, find in nature a medicine for this fatal malady.

"In my hospital practice in England, India and (South America, and also while a surgeon in the Royal Navy of Great Britain, J gave a great deal of attention to tho study of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organsand found that not only was the cure , of chronic Bright's Disease hopeless, but that kidney disease was remarkably prevalent: much more so than generally known, and was the cau-e of the majority of cases of sickness, and further, that the medical profession has no remedy which exerts any absolute control over these organs in disease." >. "Some time ago w^hen I had a case whichl re-isted all regular treatment,—which is very limited,—complicated with the passing of stones from the kidneys, much against my will I permitted my patient to use Warner's safe cure, of which J had heard marvelous results. In his caste the result W£s simply marvelous, as the attack was a severe one, and development very grave, for an analysis showed per cent, of albumen and granular tube ca*sts." "The action of the medicine was singular and incomprehensible to me. I had never seen anything like it. The patient recovered promptly, and is to-day a well and healthy man. This stimulated my inquiry into the merits of the remedy, and after analysis I .found it to be of purely vegetable character, harmless to take under all circumstances." ''Casting aside all professional prejudice I gave it a thorough trial.asl was anxious that my patients should be restored to health, iio matter by what medicine. I prescribed it in a great variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's Disease, Congestion of-the Kidneys, Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every instance did it speedily effect a cure." ' "For this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this statement regarding the value .of Warner's safe cure. J make this statement'on facts I am prepared to produce and substantiate. l a p , peal to physicians of large practice who know how common and deceptive diseases of tho kirlneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their patients Warner,'s sate cure, restore them to perfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus be true physicians." " l a m satisfied that more than one-half of ^hedoaths whiah occur in England are causal?primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, and the consequent retention in thpyhlnbd of the poisonous uric and kidney acid. Warner's safe cure causes the kidneys to expel this poison, checks the escape of alrnimen, relieves the inflammation ' and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having hn'd more than sevenfe-en years' experience in myprofession. I conscientiously and emphkticnliy state that 1 have been nblo to .give more relief and effect more cures by the us-e of Warner's safojCAire than by ail other niedicines-neceffninable to the professiojvthehiajority of which, I am sorry very uncertain in their acthat a straightforward, manly d it is. do you know the He has spoken the trtrthVuit of ,d his fellow ph}'sicians>-AvJio author has been dreadfully, persecuted for writing it?" ^ - < "How so?

"That letter created a wonderful sensation among the titled classes and the public. This jarred the doctors terribly. The College of Surgeons and Queen's College, from which institution he was graduated, asked for "an explanation of his unprofessional conduct, and notified him that unless he made a retraction they would discipline him. "The doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make u>e of Warner's safe cure only after all the regular methods had ftiilfth and when he was satisfied that there was no possible hope for them. lTpon their recovery, after having used Warner's safe cure, ho was so, much surprised that he wrote the above letter to the Fanvhi Doctor. He regretted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but he could not conscientiously retract the facts as written to the' Fam!fy 1)< c!i>r. "The faculties of both colleges replied that unless he retracted they should cut him off, which would naturally deb<xr him fivm arjaiii j )'iiticiufj his ph*tension, and also prevent his securing another appointment in tho Royal Navy!"

I have been afflicted with rheumatism JLWentyy-enrs, For the last ten years have been obliged to use crutches. Often my left hip and knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for that terrible disease, have used the most powerful liniments on my hip and knee to 6doth_jthe pain, that I might get a little sleep. ^4JT hip and knee had lost nearly all strength>bvthe use of the liniments^ and I -could gewvo^help.

In lieu of this section, Mr. Bragg of Wisconsin, on behalf of the committee offered a proviso t h a t hereafter no increase of pay shall be allowed or paid to a n y officer by reason of service on tbe retired list.

Tho bill provides that where an officer served in a higher grade from that to which he was commissioned, and was subsequently com vate n a t u r e . In reference to the bill proposing to equalize soldiers' bounties the quartermaster general'^ oflice furnishes the following figures: ' F r o m the records in the office it is ascertained that up to October, 18ti3. a total of 8,111 men hud/been paid a state bounty of $50 each, tile aggregate, "iimount being $405,550, Up to October, 1S64. there were 5,824 men paid a b o u n t y of $1(.)0 ea*ch, aggregating $582,400. From t h a t d a t e up to October. 18(55, when bounties eeased,*4,G45 men wero paid $159 each, aggregating $(596,750. The state paid these men in bounties a total of $1,684,700. It is now urged t h a t those who received no state bounty should be placed on the same footing as those who enlisted later and did not serve so long* Michigan furnished 90,000 men. and according to the above figures 71.420 ol. them received- no state bounty. To give each one of these $150, tho highest state bountv received bv a n y one, would require $10,715,000. To further equalize.it, the 8,111 men who were paid $50 bounty Should have an additional $100, and this awarded would take $811,109, To give the 5,824 who received $100 an addi- i tional $50 require? $291,200,- making a total ; of $11,815,300. ' . I ; The house committee on m i l i t a r y affairs I has made a favorable report upon a m«««> ure which, should it become a law, will be the largest expenditure the s t a t e has ever ; undertaken. This is the little m a t t e r of paying b o u n t y to the a m o u n t of almost $15,000,000. Under tbe present law no soli dier enlisting prior to March 6, lbtB, Is entitled to bounty. After that d a t e the allowances a r e as follows: M a r c h t f t o N o v . 10, '08 r I 60 Nov. 11, '68, t o Feb. 4, '04...?. 50 Feb. 4 t o May 14, '64.... 10Q Feb. 4 to April 14, '65 1 » This omits soldiers enlisting in '61, '62, part of '63 and '64, and after April 14. »66. The new measure takes in nil these and the j bounty goes to the widow or orphans in ca*e of the soldier's death. The state will ' he required to pay $11,815,300 according to figures compiled by the quartermastergeneral. These show that the state furnished y0,000 men through the war. Under the old b o u n t y law, only 18,580 men have receiyeU bounty, leaving. 71,420 who will be affected by the now law. AJlowing the necessary reductions for bounty previously received the total sum required under the new law reaches nearly $15,000,000. No such stupendous expenditure has ever before beeu attempted by tbe s t a t e . Tax levy is usually about $i,5€0.00U per annum, or 50 cents per capita. The passage of the bounty law would j u m p the levy to ttbout $18,000,000 aud r u n the per capita t a x up to $6, or 13 timtos w h a t it has ever been before. The bill providing for the establishment of a home for feeble-minded children was introduced by Mr. Crocker the other d a y . The ob'ect of the home is set forth in the bill as follows: f * "The object of t h e institution shall be to provide by all proper and feasible means tbe intellectual moral and physical culture of t h a t unfortunate portion of the community who have been born or by disease may becomo imbecile or feeble minded, and by * judicious and well adopted course of instruction and training, t o ameliorate their condition, and to develop as much as possible their intellectual faculties, to reclaim them from their un? happy position and fit them as far aspos^ sible, for future usefulness in society." The bill culls for an appropriation of $10,000 thin y e a r and of $15,000 in 1888. Trustees are to provide a temporary home and select a p e r m a n e n t site, to be reported to tbe n e x t legislature. I t should receive the h e a r t y support of every member.

The total cost of thus introducing the "cottage s y s t e m " in connection with tho institution named is estimated t o be somewhat less than $30,000. and it appears to be the most economical plan yot suggested for tho m a t t e r of caring fOr the overflow of patients a t the institution. The measure also provides for tho erection of a chapol with seating capacity for 450 persons, containing in addition to- tho usual chapol equipments a separate stage for concerts and d r a m a t i c entertainments, tho whole to cost a b o u t $15,000, and a storehouse to be built a t a cost of something less than $7,000.

Serviss, the astronomical lecture'.* and writer, notes in a recent newspaper letter a curious sensation which he has experienced in gazing through a telescope, and which doubtless has been felt by others. He says: "Looking into another world from a safe perch upon this one—for t h a t is what the observer with a powerful telescope seems bo himself to be doing— is in itself an occupation t h a t almost takes one's breath away. I have m o r e t h a n once gazed at the full orb of tho moon through a telescope' until the palpable rounding of its globe under the eye made one positively dizzy, as if one should be held over the* edfie of the world with a 4,000-nnl«3 drop beneath him." <P O V FRUIT°«ORNAMENTALTREES,8RAPE VINES f ^ ^ ^ O R A N Y T H I N G I N T H E N U R S R R T L I * K , w i t h o u t first w r i t i n g ^ f o r o u r v a l u a b l e F R E E C a t a l * ? u c , t h o I a i L A R G E G R E E N H O U S E S B E S T w e p v e r i s s u e d , c o n t a i n i n g t h e S t r e e t N e w n n d I 3 3 d Y E A R . 7 0 0 A C R E S Choicest old.

The street in front of his property or place of business is held to be one of the appurtenances thereto and ^orVthe especial use of t h e n w n o r only, against the right of all others, except to travle, therein. This decision will' result in shutting off street venders and hawkers unless they can arrange matters with owners of the property before which they expose their wares for sale."

American business men could learn an important lesson in the matter of advertising from their English cousins. Look at their trade papers especially.

In an exhaustive and very comprehensive document, the President baa returned to the house without bis approval the bill ,Lfor th> relief of dependent parents Mid honorably discharged soldiers and sailors who are now disabled and dependent upon their ftwn labor for support." i his veto message the scope and probable effect of the bill are considered, and the Bresident's reasons stated very plainly, e considers the language of the bill very" uncertain and liable to conflicting constructions, and this alone he considers sufficient ground for,disapproval. Iu short, the evils threatened by the bill are such that duty and the interests of the country impel a veto. The ball and its accompanying message has been referred to the committee on invalid pensions. It is not at all probable that the bill will be passed over the veto, although the friends of the bill look mysteriously wise and say this will be done. The senate has passed a bill granting to the state of California 5 per cent, of the net proceeds of the sale of lands in that state. The conferees on the anti-polygamy bill have reached a complete agreement on the points of difference between the two houses, and the bill will be reported in a few days. The bill repeals the charter of the Mormon church. Churches will not be interfered with. The charter of the Mormon immigration society is revoked. Important features of both home and senate bills are included. 1 TM senate devoted one entire session to \ eulogizing the memory of the late Gen. ; Logan. Mrs. Logan and her son, daughter, i and friends t o toe number of abjout 25, occupied seats in the private gallery- Senator Cullom offered the resolution that business be suspended and that tho friends and associates of the deceasediiay fitting tribute 19 his public and prjrvata life. Mr. Cullom delivered a very able and brilliant address, sketching in brief the principal events of w life so full of honor, and paid a glowing tribute to the honor and probity of the man who had so suddenly beep called hence. The eulogy closed with tt quotation ending: "Rest, soldier, statesman, rest; thy troubled life Is o'er." Mr, Morgan did not think of Logan as a force that bad passed away, but as a living, moving energy, still useful in the great purposes of divine economy. No guile, no evasion, no finesse, characterized Logan, but he was a bold, pronounced, dignified, earnest, manly, firm, generous, true man. According to the provisions of a resolution adopted by the senate a few days ago the committee on education and labor will continue its investigation during the coming recess, as to the relations between labor and capital. Conferees have been appointed on the Detroit postofirle* biH as follows: On part of the senate—Mahone, Vest and Palmer; on the part of the house—Worthington, Owen , and Maybury. , It will be seen that the city's interests are to be well looked after by having Messrs. Palmer and Maybury on the committee. It is also believed that the differences between the two houses can be satisfactorily arrauged in a few days and it is possible that final argument may include the senate appropiation of $ I,WOO,000 which is $275,000 more than the house amendment allows. As an item of news any reference to the Detroit postoffice bill -partakes of a decided chestnut flavor, and every 31. C. from Maine to California is thankful that there is a prospect of a settlement of some sort. While the, conference committee on fortifications has not reached a definite agreement there is every prospect of the final passage of the bill making adequate appropriations for this purpose before the Close of the session. There seems to be a very general demand for an adequate appropriation of this character, so that it is probable that a much larger amount than is asked for by the senate amendment f will be recommended. The message of the President vetoing the pension bill is the one topic of conversation in the city. The diversity of opinion about the matter creates no little surprise, but one aud all agree that, no mat ter how apprehensive they may be of tho result, the President will be sustained. Senator Edmunds said Logan was entitled to the highest praise for his candor, simplicity and persistence, and for the noble, generous spirit which inspired his life. He thought of Logan, not as dead, but as promoted, leaving friends to mourn his departure, "hot for his sake, but because bis example, experience in public affairs and the wisdom of his counsels were withdrawn. Senator Manderson spoke of the brilliant military qualities of Lognn, and Senator Allison also dwelt upon his brilliant military career. Senator Hampton said that none were more willing to.pay due tribute to the memory of pen. Logan than those../who had been his political opponents. As a democrat a southern man, and a confederate soldier, he was called uponv to speak of Logan as a republican, honored by his party, a northern man who had giVeh his blood to prove the sincerity of his convictions, and as a federal soldier whose fame was as widespread as it was fairly achieved. Senators xHawley, Spooner, Cockrell. Frye, Plumb, Sabine, Ransom, all spoke of the noble qualities of the man whom the nation mourned, as a fearless, honest man who bad entered into that blessed rest and glorious immortality. Senator Evarts said the looms of time were never idle: the busy fingers of the fates were ever weaving, as in a tapestry, the many threads und colors which make out men's several live-, and when these were exposed to critics and admirers, there »y oil Id be found few of a brighter color or jof nobler pattern than that of Logan. Mr. Palmer snid that if Logan had been a Frenchman during the throes of the revolution he cwould have been the Danton of the day, and his motto that of his great Erototype—"to dare"—and by t i n t sign e would have saved his country. If borriH . .__ in Switzerland he would have been a Wink- j ?,*-** elride. If there was to be a distinctive type of the Caucausian race, it would have as a, substructure the virtues which have made the; name of Logan famous—intrepidity of spirit, honesty of purpose, generosity for the vanquished and catholicity of view for all. Only nineteen working days remain t o the present congress. Thirteen of the fourteen annual appropriation bills, including the river and harbor biU are not yet ready to g6 to the president. Ten remain to be acted upon in the senate. Nine require the action of senate committees. 'Five have not yet passed tl*e house and two hare y e t to make their initial step from house committees, tie. addition to these the last year's fortification bill yet lingers in conference. Iu view of all this it is safe to say that the present congress is decidedly a dilatory one, and that fewer adjournments in memory of those who have finished their labors and gone hence, and fewer besaiona devoted to eulogies and the like, and more hard work, will l<e just as pleasing to a "grateful constituency." Tbe attorney for the Michigun Central railway is in Washington to .-ee what cau be done toward securing congressional sanction toward the erection of a bridge across the Detroit river. The proposed bridge is for winter use only,the experiences of the present winter having demonstrated the utter futility of depending upon the transfer boats as a means of transit between the two shores. The new bridge will in no way obstruct navigation. The expense of the proposed bridge will be in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. The attorneys feel reasonably certain that the necessary concessions can be secured from the Canadian government if congress will authorize the bridge. Mr. Maybury has a bill prepared which will be introduced in a few days. The president's reception to the army and navy the other night was a brilliant affair. Miss Kose Cleveland is a guest at the white house. The most amicable relations exist between the president's wife and sister, and Kose doesn't feel at all vindictive because her position as mistress of the executive mansion has been given to another. The army appropriation and immediate transportation bills have been signed by the president. The bill for the erection of a United States prison is virtually killed, as the judiciary committee has made an adverse report on the matter. The republican members, however, of that committee recommend the passage of the bill in a long minority report. The house committee on public buildings has reported a bill appropriating $75,000 for the erection of a public building in Kalamazoo. The original bill called for $150,000, but the majority of the committee thought the amount asked for excessive. However $7.tyH'0 ivill erect a very creditable structure if the amount be • judiciously expended. It's to be devoutly hoped that Kalamazoo will not have to wait as long for ,a settlement of site, amount, etc.yas Detroit has. I k e supreme coart has rendered a de* cisioa in the polygamy case of Lorenso Bnow, which came/up on an appeal from a decision of the/third judicial court of Utah, denying the application for a writ of habeas corpus, Snow was tried and—found guilty of polygamy on three indictments, alike, except that they cover ed different periods of time. Snow was sentenced to pay a fine of ¢800 and six mouths imprisonment upon each Indictment, the several terms of imprisonment to follow each other. After the first termhad expired Snow filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus and discharge frpm prison on the ground that he could not be sentenced to three terms of imprisonment lor the same offense. Hi* application was denied, and he appealed to the supreme court, and that tribunal holds that there was only a single offense committed prior to the time, the indictments Were found, and the order and judgment of the Utah court is reversed The senate bill to encourage the manufacture of steel for modern nuval ordnance and other naval purpose-; came up iu the house the other day, but did not go through as easily as its friends anticipated^and after wrangling over it nearly tho entire session, tbe matter was finally referred to the committee on appropriations. „_.

" The house has passed thesenate bill for the retireuient and recolnnge of tho silver dollar, first amending it so that the recoinage'of this coin shall not be considered as part bTThe monthly purchase of silver bullion now required. One of the principal addresses in support of this bill was made by Mr. Tnrsney. The senate has passed the Houth American mail subsidy bill. The question of (Jen. Hazen's successor is still being agitated, inasni uch as no stops are being taken at present to transfer the signal service to a civil branch of the government. Col. Black ofpFort Wayne, still stands foremost in the rapidly increasing list of applicants. It is believed l>y army officers here that if the transfer is not made that promotion lies between Col. Black and Capt. Greely, the present acting signal officer. Tho senate has passed a bill providing for the printing of «0,500 copies of the Logan eulogies delivered in the senateT The bill was introduced by one of the speakers, and of course received the hearty endorsement of the others, all of whom are anxious that their friends should be supplied with printed copies of their eloquence, and are just as anxious that the government should foot the bill. The house has devoted portions of several sessions the past week to services in ] honor of its deceased members, BO that ! practically bu(t very little legislation has I been accomplished by the lower house of ' our national legislature. The commissioner of pensions has had prepared a letter of introduction and blank forms of application and affidavits of witnesses for the use of applicants for pensions under the Mexican pension law of January 29, 18*7. Upon receipt of an individual application an appropriate 4ettf>r^mytrtictitm-aitd-«et-frfhinnks wiH be forwarded to the applicant. The letters of instruction are full and explicit aud the blank forms plain, and all may be easily understood without the necessity of a legal education. Since the railroad accident in Vermont, tho patent office has been flooded with inventions for heating passenger cars that will obviate the danger of tire. Sot only are inventions coming in from every source, but the demands for drawings and copies of the patents continue to come from all sections of the country. Attaches of the patent office express the opinion that the number of car heaters patented in the next year, .will be equal to, if it does not exceed, the annual lint of car couplers. Tho naval and defense bills now before congress are receiving considerable attention, the general opinion being that while all talk of war . with England is simply nonsense, yet there is imperative necessity for immediate legislation in tho matter. The following is the status of the appropriation bills: The army bill is a law. The Indian, sundry civil, pensions and postoffice bills have passed both houses and now await concurrence by the house in the senate amendments or adjustment of differences by conference. The river and harbor, military academy, District of Columbia and agricultural bills have passed the house and are in the hands of the senate committees. Tho legislative, diplomatic OTKLconsular and naval bills await the action of^the house. The deficiency and fortifications-(this year's) bills are yet to be reported by ' theimuse. Last year's fortifications bill is stilf in<.conference with little prospect of agreement. -Appropriation bills will undoubtedly engross the attention of the house during the greater part of this week. The members of the house commirtee on foreign affairs had an interview with the president tho other day in connection with the retaliatory fisheries legislation now pending in congress. The interview was strictly confidential. The president sought to impress upon the members of the committee Ik? necessity of making very clear and free from ambignity any measures relating to the subject of the fisheries which congress might see fit to pass. If there was to be any legislation on the suhject, he said, it Bhould state definitely whetherYailroadsand' all other carriers were to be included in the prohibition. Invitations have been issued to the third annual reunion and dinner of the Washington association of the university of Michigan, at Williard's hotel Thursday -evening, Feb. 17. It is expected that President Angell of tbe university will be present. The exercises will be in celebration of the semi-centennial of the university. The list of residents of Washington who recognize the institution at Ann Arbor as alma mater include about ninety; tho namos embracing senators, members of eortgross, officials of various degrees of promineuce and all the leading professions. The officers are: Senator T. W. Palmer, '49, vice-president; the Hon. B. M. Cutcheon, '61; the Hon. J. H. McGowan, »61; Mr. J. R.'Cook, '54; Mr. R. H. Thayer, '70; treasurer A. A. Birney, '73; secretary D. E. Fox, 'SL Senator Palmer in company with Senator Gorman visited the white house a few ago in behalf of Senator Conger. Mr. Palmer made a very able speech iu support of his colleague for inter-state commissioner, and he is of the opinion that Mr. Conger will be appointed, although the president gave him no definite assurance ofHhis fact. Judge Reagan, who has worked faithfully for tbe passage of tho bill during the past twelve years, was-summoned to the white houso in relation to this subject, and it is understood that Judge Reagan, recommended the appointment of Gov. Ireland of Texas as one of tho commission. It seems a settled fact that Judge Cooley will-not get an appointment on tho interstate commerce' commission, as tho president lias expressed a determination to appoint no one who has be*n in any way •conuci'ted with railroads. This, of course, will bar Cooley. The president has sent to the house, in answer to the resolution introduced by Mr. Hclmont, copies of correspondence which has taken place since December 8 last, between th* department of state and the government of Great Britain on the fisheries dispute. The lowering of the flag on the Mary Grimes, th«* action of Canadian authorities toward*'-the fishing vessel Crittenden, and the refusal of the authorities to allow the schooner Sarah H. Pryor to enter the port °* Macpeque, are discussed in tho correspondence, as is the seizure of the David J. Adams. In the cases of the Everett Steel and Pearl.Nelson, detained for noncompliance with Canadian customs regulations, the letter of Lord Lansdowne emphasizes the statement that tho British government do«9 not desire to curtail any of the privileges enjoyed by United States 'fishermen" in Canadian waters*. Tho correspondence between the two governments- is exceedingly spicy, and partakes not a little of ncrimony. The position of the United StateB, however, on this matter, is for a direct settlement of the matter. OFF ON A JAUNT. Legislative Solon* "IJoiug" State Institutions— Items Gathered In and About the Capital. LANSING, February 14, J8S7. In reference to the bill proposing to equalize soldiers' bounties the quartermaster general's office furnishes the following figures: From the records in the office it is ascertained that up to October. 18tl3, a total of 8,111 men had been paid a state bounty of $50 each, the aggregate amount being $405,550. Up to October, 1864, there were 5,824 men paid a bounty of $100 each, aggregating 1582,400. From that date u n t o October, 1805, when bounties ceased,'4,645 men were paid f 159 each, aggregating $696,750. The state paid these men in bounties a total of $1,684,700. It U now urged: that those who received no state bounty shtrald be placed on the same footing as those who enlisted later and did not serve so long. Michigan furnished 90,000 nven, and according to the above figures 71.420 of them received no state bounty. To give each one of"these $166, the highest state bounty received by any one, would i-equire $10,715,000. To further equalize it, the 8,111 men who were paid $50 bounty should have an additional $,100, and this awarded would take $811>100, To give the 5,824 who received $100 an additional $50 requires $291,£00, making a total of $11,815,800. Thus far a little less than 400 bills have teen introduced— about 275 in the house and about 120 in the senate. Of these 150 have been ordered printed, either through having been recommended by the various committees to which thoy were referred, or by the house or senate for the benefit of the committees interested. No pnblic act has yet been signed by the governor, although several have been po>sed. He has, however,signed four joint resolutions and 10 private acts. The sen: ate has passed some 20 bills and the house about 45. A few have been killed by striking out all after the enacting clause, but as only eight days will remain afterfcho recess in which to introduce bills, it is probable that the motion of the legislature, both as respects passing and "killing, will be faster. Now much time is spei*$ in committee of tho whole over .privato acta. When inatters.of great importance begin to press,these will be acted on by an explanation from the iutrodueer of tho bill and a yea and nay. vote, withont debate. The churls may grumble ahd find fault because the legislators are enjoying themselves at the state expense, but it's really money in tho treasury in the long run, inasmuch as this vacation is taken inside the 50 days allowed by the constitution for the introduction of bills, as the number to bo acted upon will certainly be reduced, and thereiore moro time be given for their consideration. It is not probable that this will materially affect the length of the session, but there is something wonderfully pleasing in the thought that matters of tonsiderablo importance will not be rushod -¾rough with a rush aud a bang.

Augustine, Fla. Tlie reply is accompanied by communication from Dr. G. B, Agnew of Florida, asking that the department erect school buildings for the education of all Apaches and offering in the name'of the "Augustine Aid Society" to procure teachers for the school free of c o s t ^ T h e reply of the department to these communications hi also submitted and shows grave doubts as to^the advisability of pursuing this course, and that the department had no auThority to spend money for the buildings desired. Mr. Steele of Indiana created considerable amusement in the house the other day, when he attempted to call up for consideration the bill for the reorganisation of the armv, suggesting that as war bad been declared it was important that action should be taken on the measure, The house could not look, at tbe matter in the same light, and declined to t » k » u p the special order. The senate has passed tho house bill to prohibit government olllcers hiring or con-1 tracting out the labors of prisoners, and amending the statutes iu relation to the immediate transportation of dutiable' goods. The house has passed the senate bill prohibiting the importation of opium by the Chinese, and substituted and passed the house bill to indemnify certain subjects o£ stained" By .T., in September 1885. A general order is being prepared at tho war department designating fixed courses of studies at colleges and schools where army officers are detailed as military professors. The effect of the order will be to have a course prescribed as high as the first years' course at West Point ~T-his change in our educationnl system has been brought about by Major Rogers of tho Michigun Military Academy. A joint resu ution has been introduced, in the senate proposing an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of senators fqr a term of. four years, and requiring that but sixteen of these be elected at every alternate election of a state legislature. The resolution seems to confliot with section one of article four of tiie constitution, and has been referred rr the judiciary committee. The events of the week ending Jan. 29, were the seating of John Rairden as senator from the first senatorial district and tbe passage of the constitutional amendment in the senate by the necessary twothirds vote> submitting the question of prohibition to the people at the spring election The contest is now changed from the legislature to the people, as tbe governor has approved the joint resolutoin. Nothingelsoof importance transpired. Henry Chamberlain's protest against Gov. Luce acting as,governor because of his being a member or the board of agriculture made only a passing ripple on tbe current of events. But the report of the judiciary committee to whom it was referred left no doubt among the fair minded that as soon as Mr. Lnce took the oath of office as governor of Michigan his position in the state board of agriculture became vacant. 4 Tennessee's peanut crop tin- yr.*ar is worth $700,000.

His observations have convinced him that certain fish, such as the carp arid perch, have the power of communicati n g with one another.

Othera have thought, ainoa tho glows tint bocame pronTaeat alter tot graft! eruption of Krakatoa, they sxiit bftfft been caused by the) immenae quaatidaa of aahes ejected into tba atmoaphera at that time. The intereat ia this apeoial phenomauou was in part trana* f erred during the paat year to the whit ah glare about, the aun, which could be easily observed when the aun waa partly hidden by cloud*, or by etandtag behind the vertical edge of a ^wail and allowing the glare to appeal beyond the aun, the aun ttaelf being hidden by the wail. Careful pbaerraitiooa of thia gl*re have been made by Dbserver8 in Europe, and while titers teemed to be aome connection with the preTioua glow thia could not be aatiafactorily eatabliahed. The Mtroa4 omers have been aome what iyauble<t by this glare, aa it iirterfered with the more delcate obaervationa. Inquiry at the Naval observatory haa developed the l act that thia mnpleaaant glare has largely, disappeared within • month, and that aeeing ia much bet* ter. Another interesting fact that mutt have been noted by many ia the beginning again ot the aun glowa. Laet Monday night at 7:50 the western sky presented a tine spectacle. There waa « brilliant orange color extandtng to 45 degrees above the horizon, ftfid through this there wore three atreaks of clear blue running upward from the • aun. This first glow died away in fifteen minuter, and waa followed later by a secondary rose color, which lasted till after 8:30. Last night the sam* 4rst glow was aeen at 7:23 • with its streaks, and in addition there were the corpuscular rays in the east, lasting live minut-es from 7:25. The first glow faded at 7:30. and was followed by a light second glow. The, second appearance, occurring so near the anniversary of the first, is of fjreat impor> tance. If it is a renewaTof the arsl phenomenon, it will be plain that the Krakatoa has been wrongly as jibed aa acaude. If however, thi, ia the last stage of the original phenomenon which appeared secondarily in the glares'already mentioned,- then it will be iuteresting to observe th# gradual d sappearataue. . If thete are ashes in the atmosphere, and if they are working down; then there ought to be' some si^ns of them in the rainfalLy Observations would be valuable at aaj po nt in the country in order to ai«Oftr> tain whether the' mewrbldgical CdhfJV tions atleot the phenomenon. ^rn^hJ oiMurvatious may be made ot the time of beginn ug ot the first and second glow* ami the time of last disappearjuice.

Advices of the 18th inst., show a very i serious state of affairs in all the streams in the lower half of the state. A,t Kala ' mazoo no one remembers ever to havp seen the river so high. The low lands a r e : completely flooded. Ice gorges have been \ prevented by the use of dynamite, B U d the bridges have been protected by loading them with stone a n d preventing the accumulation of drift wood. At Coldwater the low mill grounds are all atioat. Barnhart's mill dam and t h a t at Branch are 'gone. The water at Petersburg, Monroe county, is higher t h a n ever known, b u t fences and hay and straw stacks are us yet the only sufferers. Three dams have been washed away in tho vicinity of Colon, Kt. Joseph county. Several bridges are gone and across country travel greatly impeded in th«> region of Hudson. At Union City the flats aro under water and the railroad bridge is in danger. Tho ice having gone out of the Raisin at Monroe tho chief danger there is .past, but the river is full to its banks. At] Owosso the Shiawassee has flooded all t e r r i t o r y adjacent to its banks, carried on" • considerable lumber and damttged buildhigs to a considerable extent. At Muir the same serious eouditions prevail as at other poiuts in tho vicinity, and merchants have abandoned their stores, and things tire generally afloat. At Three Rivers the shops are all closed in consequence of the high water. The immense lumber piles are only kept from taking French leave by being held by booms b u t this wiil probably prove effectual. Strenuous efforts have thus far preserved t h e railroad track from serious washouts. There is an exte-nsive ice gorge in »$he St. Joseph, east of tho town, which «riay vet make still more serious mischief. At Vermontvillo the Thorhapple river is higher t h a n ever before k n o w n . Two large bridges have boeu swept a/vay, and the railroad submerged. A t Ionia the flats south of the city are under water an'd the roads in t h a t direction,, rendered impassable. The bridges are being held by loads nud chains and are beiug closely watched. None have, gone as yjet. At Belding the high wateiMuis invaded the shops and compelled a stoppage. Take it all around, i t is a moist spell of weather. Tho business p a r t of Lyons, Ionia county was under from four to eight feet o.f water for several days. A p a r t of the Cornell works were swept away, the tool factory of J. <fc P. Arnold badly damaged, the walls of tho woolen mill of O. A. Amsden crushed in by the force of ice and water. And tho bridge is'-badlv wrecked,- The damage is between $75,QOtfand 5?UX),0O0/and nearly every business man iu the place is a looser. -*> Death of Judge Lawton. Judge George W. Lawton, while reading a newspaper in the depot at L a w t o n the other morning a b o u t 7 o'clock, dropped dead of heart disease. He was about to t a k e the train for P a w Paw. Judge Lawton was 52 years old and was a native of Auburn, N. Y. He attended school a t the Auburn academy and afterwards Geneva college. In 181S- his- father, N a t h a n Lawton, owned- the land upon which-the business portion of>Lawton village is located and where the place was soon after selected as a station for tho Michigan Central railroad. Mr. Lawtoirlaid out a town there and it was named him. He had previously donated tenh-cres of land for depot buildings.

A number of residence were flooded, the ice crashed up against them, a n d the cries of distress from the occupants could be heard for blocks. All were rescued, The Macomb street bridge was lifted off its a b u t m e n t s and carried about thirty feet d o w u stream, when the ice gorged. A b o u t 5 o'clock in the evening the ice moved again, completely wrecking t h e Macomb street bridge. The n o r t h s p a a stopped 100 feet west of the Lake Shore bridge and at 7 o'clock sank to the bott o m . The water had fallen considerably in tho upper p a r t of tho city, b u t is very high in the lower part. S T A T K I T l u M S .

He was brevetted major in the A t l a n t a campaign. His record as a soldier was t h a t of a brave and most excellent and eftlcient' ofticer in camp, on the march and in battle. After the war Maj. Lawton resumed tho practice of law a t his home and has been quite successful, achieving a reputation as a wise counsellor and able advocate. As a writer upon legal m a t t e r s he won a high reputation, having been for years a contributor to law journals. His brtefs in the supreme court were regarded as very clear and excellent. Maj, Lawton had given much attention also to pomological mattea* and he became an extensive and valued writer and speaker en subject connected w i t h h o r t i c u l t u r e .

Not many decaden ago in this couiltrv, the people were excited over withcraft. Persons suspected were thrown into the water; if not witches they would drown; if they were witches, they would »wim a.shorc, and would be pnt to death'. In any evant, they were doomed! S'ot many years ago if a person were taken sick with advanced disorder of the kidneys, the physician would pronounce the dnea-so Bright's disease, and when so declared, he regarded his responsibility at mi end, for medical authority admitted that the disease was incurable. Wh«n the physician found a patient thus attik'ted, he would say: "Oh, a alight ati. ack of the kidneyH; will be all right in a little while.'" He knew to the contrary. Uut if he could keep his patient on .his hand* for a few months, he knew he would derive a great revenue from his case, and then when the disease had progressed to a certain stage, he would state the facts Hud rutire, exonerated from all blame. but the error of supposing the disease incurable, has mvayed the public mind, l<jng ufter the fact has ceased to be. But pub.ic opinion has been educated td the true statuK of the case by those who have discounted the incurability thoofy, and the public recognizes and testifies to the fact that Warner's safe cure is a specific for this di mise. This has been shown with thousands of testimonials. t, I"pon referring to them in our files we Hcil that #5,(0) reward will be given to ;ui •-one who can prove that so far as the manufacturers know they are not genuine, ••I ud that hundreds of thousands similar in character could be published, if it wrere necessary.

It seeins strange that when a proprietary medicine is doing the good Warner's safe cure is that the physi- »inns do not publicly endorse it. Many of them, we are told, privately prescribe it. A few years ago, as stated, when a man had Kright's disease, the doctor boldly announced it, because he thought It relieved him of responsibility. To day when prominent people are dying i and hundreds of thousands of common people die of the same disease), we are told that doctors disguise the fact that it is Bright's disease of the kidneys and say they die of paralysis, of apoplexy, of pneujnouia, of consumption, of general debility, of rheumatism, of heart disease, of blood poisonirig;-«r some other of the names of t'.ie direct effects ot kidney disease. They are not the real disease itself. We sometimes wonder "if they avoid stating the real cause of disease for fear they will drive the public into patronage of the only scientific proprietary specific for kidney diseases and the thousands and one diseases that originate in. inactive kidneys, • ^-^ We do not believe every advertisement we read.

Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a care for. that terrible disease, have used the moil powerful liniments on my hip aj*d knee to booth the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the use of the liniment*, and I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of your remedy in a paper and ordered half a dozen bottles of Hibbsrd's Rheumatic Byrup, took them and received some relief, ordered another dozen. Have taken seven of the last do sen, and I am happy in saying that I know I am being cured. Have not used any liniments since I commenced taking your syrup. "When I began taking your syrup 1 could not take a step without the use of a cane; neither could I turn myself in bed without aid; can now turn in bed without any trouble; can walk about my house and office without the use of my cane. After loosing track of it, for the reason when I take a long walk I take it along. My office is four block from my house; I nave not walked to or from it in over ,a- year until last Thursday a week. Since that time I have walked to and from it every day, except Sunday. I a^n truly rejoic&g that I am fast being relieved from such a terrible affliction.

Miscellaneous News from Lansing. LANHNO. Feb. 28, 1887. The report of tbo committee^ ,*nuninted V» investigate the irre'feuletltiee of the soldier*' home baa been finally submitted t o the bouse. It is voluminous and caictnat ed to a v e r t a n y consideration of the irregularities. No mention is made Of Col. Wells or M»j. LOUR, and the only one censured in it 1« the chief nurse. The report aays: "We recoxmueud t h a t in the CAM of Edwin Downs the board of management ta^se immediate steps to have justice done qy any Motion t h a t tbey m a y feel rigtit in taking. By the evidence, as it appears upon the report presented herewith, they leave the testimony referriug to any other irregularities in the hands of the hoard of m*nageuient and invite their close and careful attention thereto, in the m a t t e r of censure attaching to any person conueeted with the home your committee do nut deem it their duty to go farther than to submit the evideuca "for the consideration of the legislature and the board of managers, of the home.'1 Numerous minor recommendations are made as to buildings, hospitals and routine management. - The entire committee signs the report, and the house adopted it unanimously'. One of the most a n i m a t e d debates of the session occurred in the seuato.the oth er afternoon over a\joint resolution ' t h a t our senators and representatives in congress be requested yo use their influence and vote for such legislation as will give to the state of Michigan, in trust for the university of Michigan, all the government lands subject to e n t r y w i t h i n ' t h e state, together with such other lauds within the s t a t e r s , m a y hereafter be «ubect to entry or shall revert to the general government by reason of forfeiture." i'o this Senator Seymour moved as an amendment the proviso that all of the hinds described situated in the upper peninsula of Michigan shall bit givey m t r u s t .or such schools or institutions in the upper peuiusula as the legislature may direct. In spite of all the eloquence and arguments in favor of the a m e n d m e n t it was voted down and the resolution as introduced was agreed to. In-order to facilitate matters the railroad committees ^f the two houses have arranged for a j o m t meeting t o r the purpose of considering nil the railroad bills introduced. In this way the committees hope by consideration or substitution to largely reduce the number of bills and stiLl cover all the objects aimed at. The senate committee on the state bouse of correction and branch of tho state prisT on in the upper peninsula, reports t h a t un.ier the act of 1N*>, a situ had been purchased two and one-half miles east of tho business ''enter of Marquette, in a health- ; id location, coiiveuient tor drainage and eu'idlv supplied with pure water. The plans lor the building wero made by Win. fcjpott ot Detroit, and are modeled "largely after the Ionia bouse of correction. Work was commenced in July la*t. The engine house is nearly completed. The dining room and hospital building is nearly reauy for slating and the foundation walls of the administration building and west cell wing are nearly finished. The buildings will be completed within one year from date. -The appropriation.asked lor the building and furnishing is $80,583. A number of i m p o r t a n t state boards are to be thoroughly investigated. (Senator Bat>cock introduced a bill a few days since abolishing the state board of health. He has procured figures and statistics show ing t h a t the institution costs something like $15,000 ner year, and he has informa tion t h a t the expense roaches $40,0u0 annually: A hecretery receives 12,500 per i jf'newly created office which Ts to"be filled year, and teu clerks are employed at sale ries ranging from W00 to $1,000 annually. The purpose *>f the bill is to investigate whether the s t a t e is g e t t i n g full value for this large outlay, Senator Babcock is not radical for abolishing the board if it can show t h a t it serves a valuable purpose, which is in some doubt. He says it was originally intended t h a t the board should uot cost over f6,UW per year. The state board of auditors among others will come in -Ipr a share of a t t e n tion, a bill having beenHntroduced for the reorganization of t h * t body. The a u t h o r of t h e bill says t h a t a t present tbey nave sweeping powers, a n d his design is to add the governor as a member of the ttoatd. It is now composed of the treasurer, secretary of state and commissioner of the state land office. Other bills have been introduced for a reorganization of the state board of agriculture and for tho reorgani zation of the management of the s t a t e prison board. A bill is before the house prohibiting railroads from issuing passes to officials, government.,.,state, county or judiciul. All the members of the legislature, state officials, sergeant-at-arms, and janitors are supplied with passes, and it would I e a g o d s e n d to the railroads if such a law could be enacted. It is not very probable however, that tbe members will vote these passes* out of their own pockets. The penalty for violation of thela w is a Hue of not less t h m $200, or more than 1500, atul the forfeiture of the office by the person accepting the pass. Almost every other phase of the liquor question is represented by some measure. I h e committee on the liquor traffic have seen to it t h a t measures are in hand to reach the main questions t h a t may arise, either with or without the adoption ot the prohibition amendment, and individual members have introduced many bills. Prohibition, high 1 icon-e and local option are all provided for i n measures presented and will be a fruitful subject of discussion after the fate of the umendment is de cided. The scope and objocts of these bills are clearly set forth in the long petition by F. A. Baker of Detroit, referred to elsewhere If t h e bill now before t h e legislature should become a law tho first M o n d a y in September will h'1 k n o w n as 'l.:\hr& Day " and will be a legal holiday. 1 u! w h e t h e r it passes or not, it will l)e "I a. *bor Dav,1 1 becauso o r g a n i z e d labor hits resolved" to m a k e it so.

The bill to prohibit the sale of i n t o x i c a t e in;;- liquors within a mile of the soldiers' home at Grand Rapids, brought out a ;>retty sharp discussion participated in namely by Senators Palmer, ,J.

' * To the general purpose of the bill thore was littlo dissent, though the.e was some. disagreement as to details. It was amended so as to insert "knowingly and wilfully" in the clauses -prohibiting sale or gilt, and in this'shape pa-sod the committee of the WTIOH * subsequently posaod on order of third reading by vote of 38 to 0. tfee- The senate has confirmed the nomination of Col. Heath to be commissioner of labor statistics. The house has killed the bill providing t h a t no one can be appointed or elected judge of probate unless he be a practicing attorney. Hardly has the legislature settled down to active work ere tho question of the probable length of the session is^raised. Members who have been talking about getting home the first p a r t of May i. - > appalled at the work bofore them, i.i the house there are 200 more bills than there were two years ago, and in the senate the number is also in excess of any previous record. . ••-- Among the petitions sent to tho house is a very careiully drawn memorial from K\ A. Baker of Detroit. At the time Mr. Baker sent to the legislature his paper on the Baker conspiracy law. he promised a t some future time to cou-ider some of the relations between employer and employe. Tho memorial presented to-day consisted chiefly ot\a statement ot existing laws and de. isions upon the subject of damages to employes through accidents or negligence. Mr. Baker holds t h a t juries ought to be allowed to award damages in excess of actual damages in cases of injury through -the-ttegligeju**. -- -. cus es the doctrine t h a t a servant canndt recover for damages causad by the neglect ot a fellow servant. He refer-, to the employers'liability act adopted in England It is Feported that fcll. t h o a n a r c h i s t s in )>HK and states t h a t he. bus a bill adapting t h a t act to this state. -The bill was sent to a member from Oakland, with the memorial, and has been introduced.

H*" v One of the bills to be considered by the house is one amending the lnws in reference to "compensation for causing death by wrongful act, neglect or default." The amendment incorporates into the section the word-, "including such generaLdatus for injiine- to the feelings and atfecs and for loss of sneiety-as the j u r y under all frets and circum tances of the case may deem just anrf reasonable, and in cases of wilful act and gross negligence exemvlary damages may IKS awarded as in both casestM noes tiflm compesation for personal injuries suffered by workmed in their employ, Representative Dawson is of the opinion that wh itever law for the regulation or prohibition of the liquor traffic may be pessed, it should be enforced, and he has introduced a bill providing for the appointment by tho governor of a state marshal! whose duty it shall be te enforce the law. The marshall Js given power to appoint a deputy in every county, and whenever a complaint is made of a violation ot' the law, tho mar-had or his deputies Khali proceed againstsuch person and -hull shall have the same powers in executing t»ae IAWS a* the sheriffs may have. The hou«e has agreed to Mr. Hosford's bill appropriating *:^>,000 for frescoing and decorating tho capitol. Another -bill is befqre the house which has a direct bearing on the 'liquor trafh'<\ It provides t h a t where abusine s which has been legalized is subsequently n n d e unlaw ful, compensation shall be made to thos*< engaged in such business for damages thai m a y b e caused by its destruction. 'I hi bill, though general in its terms, and in some contingencies* applicable to other classes of business, will be seen to have its most prominent application totlie brewer-, in case prohibition is adopted in ttie eon stitutiou or by legislation. The committee to investigate the management of the soldier's home are unable' to agree upon a report. Borne of the members favor censuring Colonel Long. as well as his subordinates, wliiie others dissent from this plan. One thing is-cextajilijf_ t h e r e b e but one grain of t r u t h in the te^T7mnrvjpf-H4»e^uiaXes. as publish ml the report ought, to not to be a white washed anair.

The MIIMMIImittee's inclination is to leave to tin- legislature .the censure Of the management., if upon perusal of the testimony o: thirtytwo witnesses, covering TiS'.* folios of paper, the members find themselves inclined to censure. They further say that thev used p r o n i r e the wtiol T b i r e is a great diversity ef opinion as t e whether the president has the power t o appoint ihe i n t e r - t u t e commerce commission after the adjournment. It is held on one side that the power conferred by the constitution to till vacancies which may happen duriog a vacation of the senate does not cover the rriigghhtt ttoo aapppnopitn t to irhich is to by and wi th the advice and consent of the senate. On the o t h e r band, it is argued t h a t a vacancy "happen*" as much by the act of creation an by the d e a t h or resignation of an incumbent and there are believed to be decisions by attorney-generals covering the point, to the effect that the president has the power to appoint. In support of t h e president's right to appoint the commissioners during a recess of the senate, those who take this view ?|Uote the appointment of court officers or the southern district of California during the recess of the present cougre s. A law was passed at the last pes-ion of congress creating the judicial district of Southern California. No appointment of, the new officers t h u s created was made by. the president, however, until congress had adjourned, when the judge, attorney and marshal created by the bill were appointed and entered upon the discharge of their duties. Senator Shermon received a personal note from the President stating that he has conferred with a number of senators on the subject and has reached the conclusion t h a t there exists no necessity for a special session of the senate. He says he will call uoue unless some unforeseen contingency arises. The senate has pa«sed the bill an inqniry into the management of affairs of the Pacific railroad. The bill as passed provides for the a p p o i n t m e n t of the three commissioners with a compensation of |750 a month, traveling expenses and board bills, with power, t o examine all books, papers and methods of the railroud companies.

THE VETO SUSTAINED. The House Refuses to Pass the Dependent Pension Bill. Miscellaneous NNeewwss nannrrll Congressional Summary. WASHINGTON, Feb'y 98, 1S87. The house, by a vote of 175 to 125, has re fused- to pass the dependent pension bin over the president's veto. The deb iter on the reportj)f the pension committee rec «•£-corporations!—Ha-dis- | o.nup.e.ndinjg_the- passage, of .the.-Ull ovexL_ the executive's veto, was the chief event in the house the past week; The event had been looked for, and the n u m b e r o l petitions from the G. A. K. from Ala ihe to Caliiornia had awakened more-than usuul interest. * The following resolution was introduced in the senate the other day and la: d a w a y for future reference: /te-oived, That it is the judgment of the. senate t h a t under present circumstances no negotiation shoidd be undertaken with Great Britain in regard-to existing difficulties with her province of Canada, which has for its object the reduction, change or abolition of any of our existing duties on imports The senate has expressed itself very emphatically upon the original bill, and it will not agree to the house amendment- Tho incisure will now go tb% conference committee, and it is very probable t h a t nothing will be done at this session ~f con- •grflHa, Tho secretary of the treasury recommends t h a t an appropriation of. $1,411:).16 be made to refund to Michigan expenses incurred in raising volunteers during tho war. -• The hou e has voted an appropriation for new war vessels. The appropriation calls lor $2,410,000 for the construction of two swift double bottomed steel cruisers, each of..about 4,000 tons displacement, of the type of the Newark, except boilers and machinery; four of about 1.700 tons displacement, of the type of gunboat No. 1, and one swift torpedo boat—said vessels to cost altogether, exclusive of a r m a m e n t , not more than $4,960,00). President Cleveland has vetoed the bill for a public building at Portsmouth, Ohio, and very plainly says th%, government business of that city must be done in a rented building. A bill authorizing ..the secretary of the interior to sell, at cost price, surplus copies of public documents, not more-than one copy to an y one person, and the bill making appropriations for the military academy have passed the senate.: It is rumored that Martin V. Montgom-~ cry, commissioner of patents, has grown weary of the strain upon his nerves which the position causes, and t h a t ho will shortlyj" esign. The report lacks confirmation. Washington's birthday was generally observed in this city as a holiday. Ail the executive departments and many business houses were closed.. Both houses of con gress. however, were in session.- Several street parades took place during tha d a y . The first was composed of veterantf of the old vo!unteerfire d e p a r t m e n t s ^ this city anrl Baltimore, who subsequently partici- ¥ated in the ?celebrati6n in Alexandria, he Washington continentals made a pilgrimage to Mt^-Vernon, where appropriate exercises were held. c t u n t y , are United Rtaten pri?o»»» trom other s t a t e , and territories '/he Uetrcd* house of correction ia a city inatitutlom and is not on the contract plan.

Each United States prisoner reprcaenta-* d a y ' s work every worklngday in the y e a r , and, in view of their loug sjnteuce, a n d skilled workmanship, they are kept by t h e institution without charge to the governm e n t while any county of Michigan. Including Wayne, outside of Detroit, pays a mininimum rate ef $1 per week for board. The labor of the prison is devoted entirely to chair, cradle and bedstead making. Ho much detriment has resulted to the industries of t h a t state from the cone antra tion of United States prisoners at this institution t h a t the legislature of the sjate has taken hold of the sub; ect and passed a law absolutely prohibiting the importation of prisoners to t h a t institution. We think the time has come when the government should adopt measures to take care of iU own convict*. Wherever United S t a t e s prisoners are confined in any numbers in prisons not directly under control of tha Government they work g r e i t hardship to onest, enterprise and labor, and are a profit only jto the prison contractors and authorities. . The house of representatives by a vote of 188 to 1'J8 practically decided that thwre shall be no retaliatory legislation at this session of cougresa, The vote was on the Belmont substitute for the bill which passed the senate four weeks ago, and by this vote the house determined to substit u t e the more radical for the more moderate measure. Belmont wanted absolute non-intercourse between the twocountriea. and to bring this about lie WAS willing to extend the embargo to the rolling stock of Canadian railroads. The debate ou tha m a t t e r o extended from 11 o'clock a. m. to 3 p. m.. ami called forth all sorts of . p a t r i o t i s m and gush from the able representatives on the iloor. Tho members from New England were far more moderate in their demands than tho e from the southern states, Massachusetts' and Maine's representatives declared t h a t the fishermen most interested did not ask fur the Belmont bill, but would be entirely satisfied to apply the same treatment to Canadian vsssels t h a t Canada motes to those sailing under the United Stares fiag. But the house was not (Hsposedto pay a n y attention to the wants of New England, and the northwest, which is directly concerned in the proposition to exclude Canadian cars and engines, cut no figure in the contcoversy. The bill as amended was passed by a vote of 352 to 1. The bill to create the department of agriculture and labor has passed the senate. The bill creates.an. executive d e p a r t m e n t to be known as the d e p a r t m e n t of agricul- "rtrre and lahor, with a secretary and assista n t secretary to be appointed by th* president, by and with the advice mid consent of the senate. The secretary is to receive the same salary as the heads of the other executive departments and tho assistant secretary the same as th-.< as-i>st m t secretary of the interior department. Tho bureau of labor and the weather service of the signal service bureau, are to tje transferred to the department of agriculture. The bill reported by Senator Morgan from the committee ou foreign relations, to encourage the holding of a colored world's fair in 18S8, authorizes the president to appoint six commi-eioners upon the recommendation of the directors of colored world's fair association and live additional commi sioners upon the recommendation of the subscrtbersto t h e e n t e r - pri-e in the city in which it may I e located, to constitute a >K>ard of managmuent-oL. Officers Wbo^ served in the volunteer armies of the^United St-ites during the late war, who'are entitled to remuster and readjustment of pay accounts under the Cutcrreon act, which was approved by the President a tew days ago, have only n very short time in which to file their cluims. Under a decision of the dep.irt ment tnfe act will be inopcrati VH on all claims fi'ed after J u n e 1. The law rrffer red to gives the. a d j u t a n t g-ueral the pow er to ntuster ollhvr., from ihe date of their assumption of the duties ol the tirade to which they were promoted, i n r o a d of mustering them irom the dato on which their commission* wero actual!v de livered. It is estirmited t h a t least ten and possibly twenty olhcers to every regiment which entered the war are etlected by ihi« act. Applications for remuster should be forwarrted to the a d j u t a n t general at once applications for pay allowances to the the second auditor or the treasury. Gen. Cutcheon has received a communi cation from Gen. John Robertson. Adjutant General of Michigan, in relerence to the former's bill revising the statutes so as to allow pay t o officers during the war from the day of taking command actually, in stead of from the date when commissions were issued, and Gen. Cutcheon has replied by suggesting that tho Adjutant General call the attention of the volunteers to the fact t h a t applications m u s t be filed before June.8, as they will be barred after t h a t date under law. ByiiTstrictry"party vote'Kenatorlngalis -has been elected president pro tern of the senate. Mr. Ingail.s took the oath of office Saturday, Feb. 3o. When he took the chair he said that, while he would inevitably suffer disparagement by contrast with the parliamentary learning,skill,urbanity and accomplishments of his illustrious predecessor, he would strive to excel him in grateful appreciation of the distinguished honor conterred. The seuato adopted Mr. Edmund's substitute for the pleuro-pneumonia bill, appropriating $1,000,000 to be expended by direction of the president for the suppression of the disease, but subsequently re* considered it, and laid it aside. There is very poor prospects t h a t the measure will bo considered again a t the present session. "In the house of correction at Detroit there were on J u n e &), 1885, 234 United State* prisoners confined. To this institution are committed by the authorities of the city or Detroit only offenders against and violators of the "law, convicted of petty offenses and sentenced to terms not exceeding one year. In that institution the manufacture of chairs is extensively carried on, and to such an extent as to work groat injury to the furniture manufacturers of t h a t city and state. The manufacturers who have their capital invested manufacturing furniture in Michigan, as well as the workmen, complain a t this unjust competition. It is obvious t h a t were it not for the long term prisoners in that institution some of them under sentence for life, this Industry would not be, as it is, practically ruinea, outside of the prisOn. It is estimated t h a t one-third of t h a prisoners received at the Detroit house of correction, oaside of W a y n e the exposition. Th»» president U also authorized to appoint ono commissioner for each state and territory. With reference to the bill introduced by Mr. Giillaghor a few days ai.o. providing for the disnial from any branch of the government service of all persons not citizens of the United States and prohibiting the appointment of any more such. It can he stated that there i; n o t ' a depart ment in this city where unnaturalized foreigners are not on the rolls, und some "of uieni iu responsible—end -werl—paid— places. Tho evils resulting from tho wnnt of a penitentiary under tho direct supervision of tha United States for tho continpment of United States prisoners, has been repeatedly brought to the attention of congress, o u t nothing has ever 1 eon accomplished to change the present practice of boarding them at different state " institutions. The <house committee on judiciary have given the m a t t e r some attention h u t the committee refuse to r e c o m m e n d - t h a t a government prison shall be built and run by the R«,V^ ernment.

The,tfenate has also passed the bill to incorporate the ship and canal company of Nicaragua. The bill incorporates the maritime canal company of Nicaragua, with the principal office in New York city. The United States is to exercise Buch control over the canal as provided for by the treaty with Nicaragua a n d not inconsi tent with treaty obligations- " of the United States with any power, and is to enjoy its unobstructed use,, ('at half rates) for troops, munitions o f war and mails.

This ia $75,000 more than the a m o u n t fixed h y . t h e house bill, end $?00,00t) less than the senate bill. Under tho circumstances it is an exceedingly good com- / promise, and credit is due to Mr. May b u r y ' ' as well as to Senator Palmer for bringing it about. It is not expected that t h e r e will be any opposition in the housft to the conference report, which was unanimous. Tho bill to forfeit the land grant of the Ontonagon and Brule river railroad has" been reported back to the senate.

When tb« little child, for whom so •txange » destiny had been predicted, W M bora, her young mother, Daisy 2?Mime, would call her '•Marguerite," not the Set ten "&f argoret," most queenly of women, hut the beautiful French Marguerite, which means a daisy or a pearl. The little child they laid in the fragile arms was so wondrously /air, so exquisite in feature, with a akin like the smooth leaf of a Illy. "She is a little pearl." said the nurse, and from that moment her mother called her Marguerite. Did the stars barn with stronger brilllanoe that night when she was born? Did those who read the planets say there was some unusual conjunction? Did the wind whisper of some strange destiny on the night when Marguerite Nairne was bom, and the most cruel of all dooms fell upon her mother? A beauttsful June night, musical with the song of n^ghtintralns, fragrant with the breath of flowers; the moon shone and the stars gleamed over the pretty cottage called "Woodlands," where the old tragedy of life and death was enacted. Cyril Nairne, the father of little Marguerite, lived at th« Woodlands; and Cyril Nairne had a history quite his own. He was born a genius, and the lot of a genius is rarely a happy one. Why he should have been a genius would have puzzled any one; his parente were common-place people; his father gained an honest living by making pianofortes, and his son had been brought up to the same business; but there was a wonderful difference, The father was a tradesman who made a good piano, and sold it for its proper value; he knew to the quarter of a semitone the tone and value of the piano; he understood, in its most perfect de-s tall, the mechanism, but he could not hear the voice imprisoned in it. Supposing the wood and brass work to be the body, and tVe sound the soul, he knew, nothing of the soul—no divine voices spoke to him through the white keys; he was quite content if he made a profit out of u piano, and he studied hard to produce a better one But his son, his onlyJchild, vras a genius, born tojbear le?s of earthly than heavenly music—born to hear music t h a t sounds but seldom in mortal ears—born to grasp diwlne harmonies. They thought \m a dull, quiet child, who took but little interest in outward things, but whose face flushed with keen light at the sound of music. When his father made a piano, he was quite content to listen while others drew sweet sounds from it. When the son, in his turn, made one, he did not rest until he had drawn its very soul away in sweetest sound. _^ "My son~~Is a gehlua," Lhe fathtr would say, and he would reBolve that when he had saved money, and business was better, he would send him from the shop to study; not till then, opera could not e^ual in volume, In magnificence, 1« true harmony, the voll of the wind amongst the pine-trees, the rush of the Wind over the* river; but people laughed at him verV kindly. Was he not a genius, and Is not all genius jast a little mad? If he 'wrote eautiful and subtle harmonies, gat!- erlng them from the music of nature,, and protesting that nature was the keynote of art, who should say him nay? So he took the Woodlands, with it* large, homely rooms and quaint, oldfashioned charming .garden. People smiled when they saw him sitting there, listening intently to every sound, and finding divine melodies in all. To them the bum of the bee was a simple sound of one note*—to him it was a prayer of praise; to them the tipple of the leaves, as tb.« sun warmed and the wind stirred them, waa simply a pleasant sound—to him it waa the chorus of a Divine orchestra singing Hosannas. They passed on with kindly pitying smiles. "A genius, you know, and slightly—" The phrase was never ended, but a significant touch on the forehead said the rest. It is, indeed, Heaven help those whose genius leads them into lowly places. One day when the music of the churchbells ran like wine in his veins, and each bell of the octave called to 'him, uConje! Come! Court*!" he went to church—a beautiful old church standing in the midst of I ji is fail, with a square Norman tower afid Norman windows—a church half buried in ivy and half hidden in trees, with a sweet mellow chime o f bells. One could have fancied, as the old poet says, that "the souls of saints were imprisoned within"—the sounc was so sad and so sweet. Cyril Nairne followed the sound, and he was weaving in bis mind a melody that should embrace all the sweet, sad music. He did not recover from his dream until the whole congregation stood up to sing, and one voice led the others—:i clear, ringing, rich soprano, and he could not help thinking that in sound it resembled the mellow, sweet bells, and the words were so beautiful. The clear, ringing voice seemed to pierce the old groined roof—to soar through the white clouds and blue ether—te carry it* passion, its prayer right into the golden heavens.

He heard the music of grand psalms in the song of birds, the bleattnsoflauaha*_ th.e_^lling of water, the rustling of green bougbsT HisTdul had hungered and thirsted for these sounds, and now that he had time and freedom, he determined to enjoy them. He was some little time in choosing a home—there were so many beautiful spots he could hardly decide—but Inisfail seemed to him falre&tof all. It had every beauty of hill and dale, of forest aad stream, of grand old trees and flowers; the fields were greener, the trees taller, the limped streams deeper and cooler there than in any other spot Poets and painters all knew Inisfail, with its bonny woods and deep clear river. Legends of Inisfail woods, and stories of the grand River Faile were to be found both in song and prose. What decided Cyril Kairne was that he saw there the prettiest little cottage he had ever beheld. It waa built under the shadow of tall trees, and stood near the bend of the river, ail day long it was full of music—the music of the waters, which ran swiftly and fell over a picturesque pteoe of rock into a elear basin, where it seemed to take heart again and flow on to the tea; the music of a thousand birds, sweet songster who loved their leafy home*; the music of the wind, which wooed the trees at time* in »weete*t whisper*, at Urns* in tempestuous roar*: always music, the beantful music of nature.

He waa the only President we have ever had, and probably ever will have, who knew nothing of the common autocracy of public life. He was the only man we ever had at the White House who would go back of the wishes of persons and examine their real wants. I remember an incident in connection with the war which illustrates what I am trying to Bay. It is not proper for me to use names, but the story goes: It , was a t t^at carly^ertad in the rebelfibrt when suspects ana conspirators were .being arrested and imprisoned by the wholesale. Abetter written upon ft pritited sheet of paper, giving the bjuaijaeas of * pr oeainent firm of merchants in New York and containing incendiary language toward the Union, . found its way into the hands of egov- [eminent official in the South. The declarations were penned by a traveltag* man, who represented the Arm mentioned ia,,the letter head. The result was the arrest of , the principal member of that firm on the charge of conspiracy against' the government. The, letter was signed in stich a w a y as to not make it perfectly clear who the autsier was, aad of course suspicion bore heavily upon the firm mentioned. He is a maa well- known in ' New York to-day. Men were held in prison at that time on the slightest s:;spicion-r suspicion, in (act,- more slight than this one. The wife of the merchant cinie to a friend oi mine lu New York i oi mediately after the arrest of the ijtidband, and requested aim to communicate with President Lincoln the tact that her husband had been arrested for something for which he was in no way responsible. My friend addressed a note to thepreeiaent, telling him that the . man under arrest was hot guilty of the Misdemeanor even !n a collateral or the moat remote way. The wis* came here; tt was eleven ' t o o t , WlHiam Tillman, t h a t they t » tended t o tall him when they reached Charleston, and add considerable t o their share of the prise money. Theat threats although uttered in jest, had s o alarmed Tillman as to drive him almost frantic with apprehension and led t o the terrible tragedy, which quickly followed. On the nights of the 12th and 13th of July, Captain Amiel, with his mates, Stephens a n d — - — y bad gone into the cabin, entirely unsuspicious of impending danger, and were enjoying their last slumbers. Milner, a young Charleston seaman, was at the wheel, I and the fifth man, a foreigner, who was privy to Tillman's plans, was in the forecastle. Arming himself with an axe the desperate negro crept noiselessly into the cabin, and in a moment, with three quick strokes of the weapon, three men lay dead with cloven skulls. In another instant the bloody axe was brandished over the head of Milner, with the threat that unless he assisted in getting the Waring back t o * N o r t h - ern port he would share the fate of his comrades. Submission was unavoidable, and although none of the trio . were navigators, the bows of the Warding were turned northward. Being favored'with fair Weather and keeping the shore Hue in sight, the Wearing made good progress and was picked tip by a pilot while 200 miles south of New York.and taken into that city. Her arrival created a great sensation', and Tillman became a conspicuous lion. He was awarded salvage to the amount, if 1 recollect correctly, of ¢18,000.

As the call of counties proceeded it bore-a decided look in.-favor of Judge Campbell. Wayne county had not been called, but the sj etches in lavor of Judge Campbell by delegates Duffleld and FrjjzeD conveved an idea that there was a split in the Wayne delegation, which would certainly help Judge Campbell.

P l a t f o r m o f t h e N e w L a b o r P a r t y . Following is the platform after a lengthy preamble setting set forth tuat -the name of the party shall be the union labor part y : " ' * ^ First—Land: Every human being possesses a natural inalienable right to sufficient laud for eeif-support, and we desire to secure to every industrial citizen a home, as the highest result of free institutions. To this end we demand a graduated 1» nd tax on all large estates, especially those held for speculative or ten tent pur- {>oses; the reclamation of all unearned and grants; the immediate opening of Oklahoma to homestead settlement; the purchase of all unoccupied Indian lands, and the settlement of the various-tribes upon lands in severalty; also laws preventing corporations from acquiring real estate boyond the re quirements of their business, and alien ownership of land. The systems of irrigation in states and territories where necessary, shall be under such public control as shall secure the free and equitable use of the waters and franchises to the people. Second—Trim portation: The means of communication and trans ortation should be owned or controlled by the people, as is the United States postul system, and equitable rates everywhere e tablished. Third—Money: The establishment of a national monetary system in the interest of the producer instead of the speculator and ursurer, hy which a circulating medium in Decenary quantity and full legal tender shall be i^sue 1 directly to the people without, the intervention of bunks, or loaned to citizens upon umide -ecurity a t a low rate of interest to r£lieve them from the extortion of ur*ury and enab'o t'.ena to control the money supply. Postal savings bunks should be established. While we have free coinage of gold we should have free coinage of silver. We demand the prompt payment of the national debt and condemn the further issuance of interest-bearing bonds, either by the national government or by states, territories counties or municipalities. Fourth—Labor: Arbitration should take the place of strikes and other injurious methods of settling labor disputes; the letting of convict labor to contractors be prohibited; the contract system be abrogated in public- works; the'hours of labor in industrial establishment- be reduced, commensurate with the increase of production in labor-saving machinery j employes be protected from bodily iniury; equal pay be given for equal work for both sexes and labor, agricultural and co-operative associations be fostered und incorporated by law. The foundation of republic* is the intelligence of its citizens, and children who are driven into'workshops mines und factories nre depiived of educution, which should he secured to alUby proper legislation. Wo desire to see labor, organizations extend throughout all civilized countries until it shall be impossible for despots to array the workitiymen of one country in war against their brother of another country. Filth-Soldiers and Sailors: In appreciation of the services of United States f;0'diers and haiior-, we demand for them justice before cr.arity. tvUh— Income, t ix: A graduated income tax Is the most equitable system of taxation, placing the burden of'govefnmant on those « h o c n bestatford to pny. instead of laying it on the farmers and producers^id exempting niiiiionttlpe ia-rrdfaolders ' a net corporations. Seventh--United States senate: The capture of-the United States senate by millionaires and tools of corporation-* who have no sympathy with free institutions threatens the very existence of the republic*. We demand a constitutional ameifdnjent making United states ^motors e'eciiye by a direct vote of the people., The eighth section demands exclusion of the Chinese, and denounces the employment of Pinkerton men.

At the clone of Mr. Hagendorph's address the Rev. £. B. button, chairman of the finance committee, appealed tor funds to carry on the campaign. At feast *1,- 500 was needed immediately. His appeals for subscriptions were not very heartily met, about an hour's persistent work bringing only about $32u in pledges and' cash. The committee ea resolutions adopted the following* iicAo'ved, First and foremost and abovo all things else, it is the duty of our party, at this hour, to give a united and aggressive support to the amendment. WHEKKAS, State prohibition cannot !>e completely eilective without national prohibition; therefore, lie.ol>».d. That the object of the prohibition party caonpt be^fuily accomplished until its avowed yrincip e< shall be fit :v established as the controlling principles of our national government, and a prohibition constitutional amendment is im or; orated into the constitution of the Unired States; and further, that the prohibition party of the state of Michigan pledges itself to maintain its separate political organization, and to support its nominees for ofhee until its objects are fully accomplished. j,>4o.fed, That we wish to return sincere thanks to the members of the legislature who voted to submit the pr hibition constitutional amendment to the decision of the people of this ktate; and we earue-tly hope that they, together with all good citizen* of our state, will work and vote for such amendment. Juxulttd, That the prohibition party of Michigan finds ample cause for thank.ulness and hope in the rapidly rising tide of prohibition sentiment throughout the country; in the largely increased vote of the party at the late elections iu the sevral state-, particularly in our'own; and in the concessions of our political opponents in the submission of prohibition amendments to state constitutions and in various other ways. Revolted. That because of the joy which it givei us to be permitted to strike a deadly blow, in our own beloved state, at the head of that "gigantic crime of crimes," the liquor traffic, through the sacred principle of prohibition, we stop not to inquire into the political motives of those who have presented usAvitht+ie opportunity, but hore and now solemu'y pledge ourselves and tho^e whom we represent, that if the pending prohibitory amendment be not adopted on the 4th of April next, it shall not l.e from any want ot fidelity or diligence on OUT part. lie O'le'ri, That we express our gratification at the prompt end efficient work,of the W.

Th*J monkeys have conversation. bitterly assailed the old We have published in oar columns from time to time different advertisements in egard to Hriglit's disea-e and its cure*. What is this terrible dis«A.-ef We have taken the trouble to make an investigation^ from the be->t sources and we give the results to our readers. What aetonisaeK us is tne general indifference given to kidney disorders. The kidneys do not eouud the alarm of their diseaseoTCondition, owing to the fact chat they have very few nerves, hence few suspect tbat there is any disease in them. Irritation, inflammation, ulceration set in, and then the little tubes of which the kidneys are full, are destroyed and thrown oh*, and from this fact are called tube casts. As soon as this begins to take place it, is only a question of how fast decomposition foes on before the disease results fatally. I the proper remedies are taken before final decomposition or waste of these tubes commences or becomes too far advanced, tbat is the only and last chance for relief. It is at this point or before that Warner's sufe cure proves so beneficial, and may cure or stop the wastiug away of the kidneys if it has not advanced too far. The most remarkable thing of all our investigation is the fact that the patient with Bright's disease has no exclusive symptom-, but has thesymptoms of every common disea e. First he may possibly feel a dull pain in his back, generally upon one side, which does not debar him from his usual business, routine. After a time he may begin to feel neuralgic pains, or have a slight attack of what may be called rheumatism, or headache, with high or dark colored urine, with an unpleasant sensation iu its passage, and after standing showing an unnatural condition. Later on, come tired feelings, loss of ambition or vigor, or loss of or failing eyesight, which is very common^ with a distressed condition of the stomach. Any one of these symptoms is liable to occur. This no doubt accounts for the proprietors of Warner's safe cure curing so many diseases. By regulating and building up the t kidneys. symptoms of general ill-health disappear They justly accuse the medical profession of treating the effects and not the cause. Finally if this disorder is neglected the patient either dies of apoplexy, pneumonia, heart di ease, blood'poison, consumption, or any other disease that the system is most subject to. It appears that Gen. Logan realized his condition, and u was well aware that his disease was of the kidneys, and expressed himself in indignant terms at the lolly of the doctors in treating him for rheumatism when it was thekidnevs that caused his attacks." We havo no doubt that very many people in this country have the same trouble as the General, but little importance is at tached to this malady by the medical profession bee m-e of their inability to cope with it, either in its tirstf appearance or advanced condition. \ There appears to be some one cause far nearly every other ailment of the human system, bur up to the present time no one has been able to fully accbunt^for this terrible malady.

C0N0VER Rejoicing Over His Late Great 8nee I have been afflicted with rheumatism twenly_y_£ars. For the last ten years have been obliged to use crutches. Often m a left hip and knee would entirely give out. Have expended a large amount of money for remedies recommended as a cure for th.'it terrible disease, have used the- most powerful liniment* on my hip and knee to sooth the pain, that I might get a little sleep. My hip and knee had lost nearly all strength by the use of the liniments, and I could get no help. I saw an advertisement of your remedy in a paper and ordered half a dozen bottles of Plibbard's Rheumatic Syrup, took them and received some relief, ordered another dozen. Have taken seven of the last dozen, and I a a happy in saying that I know I am being cured. Have not used any liniments since I commenced taking your syrup. When I began taking your syrup I could not take a step without the use of a cane; neither could 1 turn my.-elf in bed without aid; can now turn in bed without ,any trouble: can walk about my house and office without the' use of my cane. After loosing track of it, for the reason when I take a long walk I take it along.

A OOLDKX UIHUIOOD* Cyril Nairne felt as though the melody had died out of his life forever; his love for his fair young wife had become part of his life; it had entered his goal and turned to music there, arid no\vj the music had changed to a minor key; it was more beautiful than ever, but the joyous ring had left it; it was full of pathos and sadness. He laid his wife to rest under the shade of the great trees, and her grave bacame a shrine and a sanctuary for him. His melodies after that had in them something that reminded one of the wind sweeping over the long grasses, and of the soft fall of the dew by night. He gave the rest of his life to his art. In life his name was not known to the world that after his death found him famous; the world that crowned him with laurels and erected Btatuea in his honor when he was no longer living to enjoy his fame; they say that the fame which comes after death is sweeter than any earned during life. In life Cyril Nairne was unknown; people who lived immediately round about him had a good-natured kind of pity for him; he was not of their world, he cared nothing for the things they loved best, those things for which they cared were less than nothing to him; they could,no more have understood him than they could have heard the music so plain to him in the wind and the river. He gave the rest of his life to art without any thought of recompense. That he might one day hear these works of his performed" as they should be was the only thing he cared for--to make money of them was a thing he never dreamed of. He worked incessantly, from sunrise until sunset without intermission; he rose often while the stars were shining In'the skies. From ttie House came sonnds of music so sweet, subtle, BO unearthly that at midnight no one cared to pass near. In the early morning, laborers going to their work paused and wondered whether any human being could produce such sounds, or whether they came from spiritland. Cyril Nairne forgot the world he lived in, he remembered only, the world of sounds. He disliked any interruption, and but for his faithful old servant he would have gone without food for davs together, juwt as he-~wtrtrid-4tav»--g^e-fJ^Q^e^5 without sleep; when the "Divine Fire," was upon him he forgot both. <, ,4A strange guardian for a baby girl," the old nurse said. His one idea of the Child was setting her to music. It was a certain fact that he tried to teach her everything by music. Before the child said her prayers lie would play grand old psalm tunes until the little soul seemed to float away on the sweet sounds. If he saw her depressed or tired he would play such enchanting, such inspiring music that it seemed to enter the little feet and the child would dance like an inspired fairy. If she were restless and could not s-Iecp lie would play little pathetic airs that lulled hor every—eonsc H—w-*w—although .he only spoke, only taught, only exchanged ideas with her through music. It was as thought music was the natural life of the child; but it made h0r most unlike other children. She grew like a strange, beautiful bird, differing from other children as the white dove differs from the sparrow tribe. She had a soul full of beautiful secrets, a mind full of beautiful thoughts, a heart full of beautiful desires; there was nothing common place about her. Her father's music, so beautiful and so rare, was to her a series of pictures. As she listened she dreamed, and her •dreams took the color and tone of the music. . ••- If It vv;ere brilliant and full of martial Are, she, would fancy herself a Joan of Arc, theleader of brilliant armies, the conqueror oK.a thousand foe«; wild shouts rent the^air. cannons tired and bells rang, while the-people proclaimed her queen; the music-changed, to some -soft, sweet air, and sheNvas a blackrobed sister, kneeling in a ced>,\anoth«r change to a love ballad so sweet, that the birds in the air paused to listem and she was the beloved of some gay "cava> Her." - So she lived her life of romance and dreams. _ Cyril Nairne lived _mueh_ alone; the only vrsifbr h"e" had "was"DavTirXnson, the organist of the old-church at Inisfail, and they talked little. They played duets of all kinds of instruments, the child listening and tilling in her dream pictures, made doubly strong and doubly beautiful by the additional force. David Anson loved the beautiful child with her magnificent eyes. He said little to her, but he never came without bringing her some little present. Her only other friend was the Hector of St.. Alphage, who had neither wife hor child, and lovet| to sun himself in the fair loveliness,of the graceful little girl. The pretty ,/hou'sc-maid left when her young mistress died; she could not endure the loneliness of the spot, the sense of death, the weird'music. She soon went away, and one who had been a Jkithful servant of Cyril's mother took her place. Martha Grey was one of the faithful, old-fashioned servants, one of a race rapidly dying out. She was devoted to her master, it was no exaggeration to say that she would have given her life for him, while she worshiped Marguerite as the most beautiful and adorable of human beings. Education, in the strict sense of the word, the child had none. Martha taught her to read, and after that she educated her- •elf; ahe read all the old-fashioned books that abounded in tho library; she knew the old poets by heart, while she had never even see a modern norel; she had the most qnualnt collection of knowledge; she knew the most out-of-theway things, while she was q*ite Ignorant of the most common,IDatters. Her father taught her music. Her voice was not like ber mother'*—a clpaj, rlngingyloprano—It was a contralto of the richest and most sympathetic kind, she could play the piano, the harp, and the violin, but Blie did not know oae word of French or German. She could sing like an angel, but she was ignorant of the moBt ordinary affairs of everyday life Cyril Nairne had a passion for music; the artist soul waB transmitted to his daughter, and in her it took the,1 shape of intense love and keen appreciation of the beauties of nature. tine would spend whole days in the woods and on the river. She knew every spot round Inisfail. She knew thp haunt of every bird, where the uheron haunted and the kingfisher bred." She knew the name of every bird, where they built their nests, where they went in summer, and how they wooed their pretty mates. Strange to say the birds were not afraid of her; thev looked at her with fearless bright eyes as though she belonged to their race rather than to any other. Sheknew the name of all the flowers that grew, their colers, their properties, vjbeir legends, and they to her were living friends. She would not gather them; let them live out thek sweet lives and die when it was time, she said. She had a strange knowledge of the stars. David Anson was an astronomer of no mean skill, and he taught her all he knew. It was a study she loved, for it gave all scope for the marvelous, and Marguerite Nairno had a natural love for all that was strange and mystical. She grew- up without any training, without any constraint. But for the rector she would have had no religious teaching. She was by nature and Instinct good and true; she had no vices and few faults; she never told a lie or did a mean action. There was no constraint or control over her actions. If she liked to go into Inisfail woods for a day to feed the birds and watch them, she did so; if she wanted to spend the whole of a bright morning on the banks of the river, she had not to ask permission; she could do as she would. The wonder was that with all this freedom and liberty she grew up so good, so refined and innocent as the flowers she loved. lief life was made up of dreams. She talked little. (If she asked Cyril Nairne a question lie would answer it in such an occupied, absent-minded fashion, it was worse than if she had received no answer; and Ma/tha Grey was so given to the supernatural that when Marguerite asked a question from her the answer generally left her more ignorant. Martha believad in luck and in fairies. and dreamji _and everything else most foolish and delightful. She told the child such legends and stories^ that she grew up almost uncertain where the border lands'- of truth and fancy met. Twice—while she grew from child, hood to youth—the old nurse, MTB. Spar, came to see her. Each time she looked witlr deepening wonder—at the lines in the pink hands. She had the good sense not to say anything to the child, about it; but she would go to Martha in the kitchen, and warn her after the most mysterious fashion to take ; great care of her little mistress; and Martha, who knew the old nurse's reputation for being a wise woman, almost a seer, was much impressed Avith these warnings. "1 am quite sure myself," she would say, '"the child will have an uncommon loU for she is not like other children." To which the old nurse would reply, sentcntiously: ''Perhaps It would be better if she were." ••It was not a natural life,*' the old woman said. No child came to play with her. She went to no parties—she knew no visitors— she lived with a father who until she was sixteen thought or her always as a little child to be lulled to sleep by the sweetest of melodies; he never realized the fact that *She had grown up. That the magnificent contralto voice had gained a fullness, a roundness, and richness that could never belong to the voice of a child, never occurred to him. She was always the little Marguerite whom his dying wife had clasped in hor arms as nhe sung of Paradise. "Who would not bo at" rest and free, ^Where love is never cold?" Marguerite had grown into one of the loveliest girls ever beheld—of an un* common type of beauty. She was tall knd shapely^ slender, now with the loyliest vyears of girlhood, and giving a _promise'of rare and magnificent womanhoooTT" tter face was like "a flower," sweet, grave, -and proud. She had a wide, low brow,\Tound with the fair hair clustered as in the famous head of Clytie, that ideal of feminine beauty. Her brows were clear ahd delicately arched, dreamy and beautiful, like the royal brows of some young queen.x He» eyes were of the loveliest blue, dark brilliant blue, with long lashes lying like' fringe on the fair cheeks. She had the fairest bloom blown by the summer winds-, dainty and brilliant—a skin such as one seldom sees even in the fair faces of Englishwomen, white as a lily with the lovely pink flush of a rose; the most beautiful mouth, with a dimpled chin" —one of the fairest faces ever given to a daughter of Eve. „ There was something in the face that struck every one: tn repo'e it was dreamy and thoughtful, but when she was animated ami interested a strange lustre came from it. On looking at tt, one felt that novommon story wodld tit it, that no common lot would befall the owner of that exquisite face. It Mas full ol' noble imaginings, of grand and noble - possibilities, of poetry and romance; but o CyVil Nair.ne. the man who lived in sweet sounds, it was still the face of the little Marguerite. Xniil the day ahe was sixteen there had not been an event in her life, except the one the could not remember— the death of her mother. It often happened that the fairest and most cloudless morn, ushers in the'most temptuous day—those sixteen year* unmarked by one event preceded a life that was full of fltrauge tarns of fortune and strange events. CHAPTER IV. A LOUDLY WOOKK. There was great excitement in the pretty town of Inisfail—there was to be a grand concert given at Elmathorpe, and Cyril Nairne was to play one of his own compositions. It was called "The Woodland Overture," and was one that he loved best: for he had reproduced these sounds that so few hear. Just as he had heard them, he rdproduced them —the ripple of tho brook, the swaying of the green boughs, the whispering of the wind amongst the leaves, the songs of the birds, the cooing of the woodpigeon; and they were so delicately, so daintily rendered, that irihe listener sat with closed eyes, he must imagine that he was in t h e woods. • It was a triumph of art. How many days had he sat absorbed in the music of the woods, until it was so impressed upon him that he had reproduced it almost without effort. /The concert was under the distinr guished patronage of the Lord Stair, the great mafi of the county, of the Earl and Countess of Desford,-. of Major White, John Stuart, Esq., and Squire Jordan. David Anson was general manager, and it seemed to him the verychance for making his friend known t o the world, for drawing attention to the genius he thought unrivaled. He asked Cyril Nairne if he would assist at the concert, and if he would play that beautiful, melodious, and intricate composition. "Listening to it," said David Anson, "lean see the calm, golden sunshine lying on the green grass, I can hear the birds sing, and the ripple of the leaves. You will give the world a lesson in true music if y<tfu will play that." Cyril Nairne consented. _ The concert was given in aid of the Hospital Fupd, and was extensively advertised. A great Soprano was coming from London, and she was to sing some beautiful ballads; but the great feature of the evening was "The W oodland Overturned, by Cyril Nairne." "Papa," said Margurite Nairne, "may 1 go to hear you play??' and the perplexed genius, who would still consider her as a child, looked to his friend David for counsel and advice under somewhat extraordinary circumstances. "Certainly, let her go. What can be more natural? She will enjoy it, I am sure "15 It was the flr3t time that Marguerite had attended any place of amusement, and her exeitement was intese. The Tow-rr^ail-of-E-lm8thorpe^--whei the concert was to be held, was a building of great magnitude in her simple . eyes, that had seen no better. To sit there amongst what seemed to her the very grandest people in the land, to listed to her father's playing, to make one of a crowd—for she had never been in a crowd—was .ill a source of marvel to her. She thought of nothing for days beforehand. She had no notion of dress—this girl whose exquisite face might have made her a queen—but the simple black silk, the mantle of white cashmere, and the bonnet of white lace that held one white rose, made her royally beautiful; she was quite unconscious of it .herself; she had not the -- faintest idea of her own ideal loveliness, She sat amongst the crowd,wondering at the sea of faces, wondering, too, with all her simple heart, why the people all looked at her. Quite unconscious that such a face had never been seen in Elmsthorpe before, she thought that all this attention was paid to her because she was the daughter, of a genius, of a true musician. , What a kind world it was; how good of these people to recognize her for her father's sake, even to admire her for it —how kind and generous. She did not know that her refined and. high-bred face, with its exquisite beauty, shone in that room as a bright star shines in the sky. There was a great sensation amongst the ladies of Hillshire. Who was this lovely young.gJ.rl who looked like some rare plant, some delicate, dainty flower? The daughter of Cyril Nairne, the genius, the musican whom they had all looked upon with good-natured pity. No one in Elmsthorpe and very few in Inisfail knew that he had such a beautiful daughter, „ Lady Desford was captured with her. She had no sons, no young brothers.

I have been in poor health with a diseased stomach and liver, causing a cankered mouth continually for ten years. I kept about my house until a year ago last June.

I commenced using the Remedy as directed, and after taking it a short time could see that it was helping me. I began to perspire freely, and as the perspiration increased the pain decreased, but my clothing and bedding was a sight to behold, being nearly as "yellow as saffron."

Address, RUTLEDOK PUBLISHING COMPANY, Easton, Pa. Ben. P e r l e j Poore's Book. Sixty vears ' o f " a busy journalist's life a t Washington are epitomized in Maj. Ben. Perley Poore's two superb yolumes. One of the admirers ot the Major recently said that " a t a judiciously ripe period ot life the Major stopped growing old, and since tuen. like some of the c h o i c e Maderia of which he writes with so much feeling, he has only been accumlating boquet and flavor." M a j . Poore has been one of the beat known and one of the most knowing men in Washington society for a half a century. His is the sunny -temperament—delighting—in-bright, social intercourse. Yet his connection with daily journalism and his position in t h e U . S. Senate placed him always l i T t t e thick of poTiticap affairs and social gossip. H e was ever in the Washington "Swim," bresting the waves' with jovial vigor, and^ never tailing to hear or see what was said and done. T h e Major could never be solemn, and in his ripened sketches of Washington lite every phase reminds him of half a dozen amusing anecdotes, he has a rare gift in telling a story, and his anecdotes are inexhaustible. His book will n o t only add lustre to hfs fame as a writer, b u t is of so u n i q u e a character and so intensely interesting in matter that it will prove a valuable contributation to the literature of the country. I t has mirth tor the mirthful, wit for the witty, information for all, and we doubt if it has been equalled by any fcubacription book since the war. I t is being issued by the well-known house of Hubbard Bros., and is sold exclusively by subscription, A, W. MILL*, Tecumseh, Mich.; General Atfeat SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY^ The ultra-violet or heat rays of the spectrum, invisible to human eyes, appear to be plain y perceptible to the eyes of ants, according to the investigations of Ar. Forel, the distinguished Swiss^en^omologist. Probably no application of science is developing more rapidly than photography. Among recent appliances is a detective camera in the form of a watch, with a charm to hold a supply of miniature dry-plates; a n d a telescopic camera in which distant objects are brought near by telescopic aid a n d photographed. " SIZE OF ORDINARY METEOKS.—A member ot the London Astronomical Society has pointed out that the common assumption that a fragment of meter r dust no larger than a mustaruseed may give the brilliancy of a first magnitude star, is erroneous. To give that brightness at a distance ot 100 miles—about that at which meteors are usually seen—would require an electric lamp oflO.000 candle power. It is therefore probable that the smallest "visible meteors have a surface equal to the incandescent portion ot a 100-candle, powei electric arc, if not much greater. LONGEVITY OK BEKTLES.—Mr. J. M'Neil, of Indiana university, mentions a long-horned beetle (EHURIA QUADRIGEMIN'ATA, which lived no less than mnteen years, and probably more than twenty, in anasbd»M>r-sill. Two similar cases of remarkable longevity in beetles are recorded by Packard. A specimen of MOXOHAMMUS CONFUSOR, the common pine-borer, lived more than fifteen years in a pine bureau; and thiee beetles—probably CEHASPHORL- S—BAtTEATUs—cmtie -from an apple-tree table, the first after a residence therein of twenty years and the last of twenty-eight years. LAKE CITIES.—The remarkable villages built on piles in prehistoric times were not confined to the lakes ot Switzerland._„Sitnilar lake .iiLtie.s are Traced in Italy, Austria, Hungary, Pomerania, Fiance and Savory, but they are generally smaller, and nearly a-1 belong to the age of polished stont\ instead of extending through several periods. In Switzerlanl over twi. hundred >!' the villages are known, forty being in the lake of Nauchatel. Each lcon-t.aine.il about three hundi d h'uts, and some-of them must have had a population of tweJ-v^or fourteen hundred. Scientific gues"s^^.^ have placed the age of some of the Tait<i. cities a t no less than seven thousand years, while others are probably not three thousand years old. Lake dwellers have not been unknown in historical tiin^s. Herodotus describes a people who lived in a platform city over Lake Prasias in Thrace, and in the present day dwellings on piles over water are built m many parts of the world, including New Guinea. Borneo, Celsbes, a n d e v e n Russia. A H A L F CENTURY'S SANITARY WORK. —Queen Victoria's reign has been, marked by great progress in the health <md longeyity of Uriti>h subjects. In a recent address to the Society of Arts, Capt. Douglass Gal ton drew a strik- Trig~picture •oTthe'"nTt"hy;"6 ve r- crowd ed, immoral, half-starved and diseased state of the people of fifty years ago, and outlined the measures which havn been taken for their betterment. Registration of disease, the first step in scientific sanitary investigation, was inaugurated in 1837,.just eleven days after the Queen's accession, but health reforms gained slowly until the cholera epidemic ot 1848, when hygienic advance really commented. The result, while less than it should have been, is a spiendid one. In England and Wales the death-ra'Ce'from 1838 42 was 22.07 per 1-.000; from 1880 84 it was 19.62 per 1.000, and the deaths from zyinontic diseases, which averaged 4.52 per 1,000 in 1841-50; were reduced to 2.71 per 1.000 in 1880-84. In the de cade of 1850-60 the average annual saying of lives in Knurland and Wales from sanitary imrrovemrnfi.s was 7.7»9; m 1-860-70 it*ro-e to 10,481; in 1870-80 to48,443"fang! m the hye years 1880 84 the annual saying bad reached 103,240 lives". i . — Bueblen'g Arnica Salve, T H E BEBT SALVB in the world for Cute.

Interrupted; " Y o u are a queen by nature. J u s t as you are, I love you. I would not have one hair changed on your dear head. It Is because you are wh'it you are that I love you, and for no other reason." The summer wind stirred the rose, the light seemed to die on the white Illy leaves; the sweet, faint harmonies came to theui from the open window over the trees; the wood-pigeons were calling eauh other; a faint twftter, as of sleepy birds, came from the green boughs. Ue grew bolder, and drew her to him; there was no shy shrinking from him, nothing but wonder and amaze. uMy darling!" be cried, "let me persuade you. I will take all the risk of your happiness, of your life, I will answer to Pleaven for it." They Were strong words, and she trembled when she heard them. The time came when those same words rose before them both like accusing spirits. "Say kyes' t o m e , my Marguerite,' said Lord Stair. She looked into his face; her own eyes were clear and unshadowed. " I tell you quite frankly," she said, " t h a t I'do not love you, but I should llko the life you sketch for me." " T h e love Will como. Only marry me, Marguerite, the love v i l l come. I will teach you. You must love me, because I love you so passionately." While the light died on the lily leaves, and the birds fell fast asleep, he gave her his first kiss, and then took her back to hep father. C H A P T E R "TEAUS ON TIIK D I A D E M .

The course of true love in this case had run most perfectly smooth. When, after winning his fair young love, Lord Stair had taken her back to her father, and told him t h a t Margueite had promised to bo his wife, Cyril Nairne had not expressed much surprise, The affairs of this world did not trouble him much. He looked up from the violin. P ' Y o u w a n t to marry Marguerite, LortrStair? Why she is a child—my poor Daisy's little child." "She is the fairest girl in England!" he replied, "and I w a n t you to give her t o n i c for my w i ' e . " " I t h i n k , " was the grave reply, " t h a t it would be-^much better to leave her alone; she is but a child.".

He looked fn one to the other—from the fair sweet girl to the dark chivalrous man. " T h e m?.rriage is not equal," he said, "and I have been told that unequal marriages are never happy ones.^ "This is an equal marriage," said Lord Stair, "Your daughter gives me more than I give her; she gives mc her rich dower of youth, beauty, and innocense; that makes us equal." I " B u t , " said Cyril N a i r n e , "you are a great lord, you have a noble name, you have great possesions, and my child has nothing; there is no equality." " T r u s t her to m e , " said Lord Stair. " Y o u ..snarl see," J u s t at that moment a glorious strain of PergolesPs rose from the next room, where David Anson w a s s e a t e d at the organ, a strain that seemed to go straight to the dreamer's heart. "Do you love my daughter?" he asked. " W i t h all my h e a r t , " was the reply; but Cyril Nairne forgot to ask Marguerite if she loved him. "After * # v " h e said, " w h a t does difference of rank matter? Love like art levels «11 t h i n g s . " "Then you give your consent? I may marry Marguerite?" Tbe father, who had no life outside his art, looked wistfullv at his child. " I wish," he said, "that her mother had lived, Bhe would have known so much better than I / You will take care of her. and be kind to her, Lord Stair?" " I shall be far more likely to spoil her than anything else," he replied, and on t h a t , the night of their betrothal, ho kissed again the sweet young face undtrfthe light of the moon. "Ana I surprised to hoar it?" asked David Anson, when he was told of the news. "No, that 1 am not. If a king J}ad come a wooing Marguerite it wonld not have surprised m e . " The news soon spread, and one of the Ant to hear it was Mrs. Spar. She flame at once to t h e cottage and asked Marguerite if it were true. " I may ask you questions," she said, "for I nursed you," and Marguerite told her. Yes, it was quite true; in July she WM foing to marry Lord Stair of Oakctyflb. **T*tT tell me he is a great lord," • aid t h e oW woman. " D o you love him, my dear?" " Y e s , " was the brief reply; but there was no love-light in t h e beautiful eye> as she spoke. . "May I look at your hands, my dear?' ifae continued, and Marguerite, laugh Jngly, held them oat to her. She scan- , __^ ned them closely. 'tThls ls/what I s a w , " she murmured to herself; jbut she said no more. ' So, when t h e long sun-lighted days of, July came, I^ord Stair married his fair young Margueaite. There was no disguise about this marriage, no mystery. The wedding was to take place at the old church of St. Alpage, and every poor person in Insfall was to profit by it. True, Lord Stair's only siBter, the Lady Thamer Perth, hautlly refused to come, and Lord Stair's nearest relative, the gay and handsome young captain, was abroad; but he found friends— Cyril Nairne was there, and the wed-.- ding was pronounced to be one of the prettiest ever seen. •Bride ajnd bridegroom went away, Cyail Nairne returned to his beloved art, the wonder and gossip all died away, and Inisfall regained its calm, H The great world rather enjoyed the romance; the papers all spoke of Lord Stair's ftyir young wife as being the daughter of a rising composer. " A r t makes everything level" Nothing, was said or known about the pianoforte manufactory, and Lord Stair would not have cared if the whole world had known it. He was wonderfully proud of his lovely young wife, .he took her to Paris and to Home; he lavished a, fortune on her. and before the tlrdt year of their wedaed life was over she was so changed that no one would have known her. She had grown taller; her beautiful iigure was lull of the most gracious lines and curves; there was a subtile, nameless elegance about her; like all clever girls, she was wonderfully adaptive. She knew nothing of the etiquette; the habits, the manners of t h e " u p p e r t e n , " but in less than three months she was so perfect that no one could have told that she had ever 11 ved in any other class. The only thing she retained of her old life, was a love of freedom; and an utterly unworldly habit of speaking, her thoughts. What a year that was for her, no shadow of a mysterious fate hung over her. Her husband worshipped her with a perfect madness of adoration. She could not frame a wish that was not gratified; she enjoyed every luxury,' every pleasure that wealth could purchase for her. That one year of travel andconstant association with a man like Lord Stair educated her; she was so quick and so inteligent that she caught the languages of the tvvo countries. France and Italy, with wonderous skill, and then, in June, Lord Stair brought her home to England, It was the end of t h e season, but her debute seemed to prolong it; the whole of the fashionable world Were delighted with her; they had seen nothing so lovelj', so piquant, so brightly original. There was nothing conventional about Marguerite Lady Stair; if she had been born in the purple, she could not have held herself in higher state, she could, not have carried herself w i t h , w o r e royal grace; ,if she had lived ijVi the society of the keenest wits all 'fter-iffeY she could not have been bright, wittier, or more apt at repartee. The world raved about Lady Stair, and she laughed at it; she never took anything seriously that it said or did—and in some measure defied it. She said things no one else' could say; she, did tilings that in her were adorable, but t h a t in another ^vouTu"have been risque. Her own wlid. beautiful fancies swayed her;the dreamy genius of the father was transmitted to the child, bifTlTiher-itAJtook the shape of lire, impulse, action. If Lady Stair liked any one, she made no secret of it; if she disliked, no matter whom she showed it with equal frankn e s s She was daringly original; but the stfaivge fate hanging over her. she would have been a povrer in the groat world. '. J ^ : ^ "Lady Stair says s>,\vvas the passport for many a witty saying—"Lady Stair did it," was the excuse foremany a frolic.

She did not realize much of what was passing during the two or three weeks t h a t she remained in London. To the girl brought up in the country, heart and soul tilled with the love of beautiful nature, it was a marvelous change; to her it seemed like a grand phantasma—like a ffr1»7alh~Troni"Wntch therer^vas no waking. Then the season ended, and Lord Stair took her home* It was the last day in July when the\ reached Oakclifte. * The drive through tTieHthagniticent pafk~wh7efe~~the sun was setting was delightful. "Oh Douglass," said the fair young wife, with a sigh of ineffable satisfaction '•how glad I am to be amongst the trees and flowers again. I have heard nothing so delightful since I left Inisfail a^ the song of those birds!" She started to find Lord Stair looking at her with an anxious expression cut his face. • " ' "Marguerite," he said " I have been so entirely wrapped up in you, I hav< hardly given a thought torahy creature. I am very much afraid I have really neglected or forgotten what is of ini portance; and now that we arc drawins. near home. I have j u s t awoke to it." He looked really troubled, but Marguerite laughed. What could effeother. "I have talked to you often," he said, about my sister Lady Thamer Perth yet I believe I have forgotten to tellyot that she lives here at Oakcliffe Towers." Never a shadow crossed the lovely young face. "Does she? Why need t h a t make yoi anxious, Douglas?" " I am not sure that yon will like her she is very good, but peculiar." "Is she like you?" asked Marguerite He looked just a little embarassed— 'au*hed with some confusion. "If I say 'No, you may think l a praising myself, I must leave you t And oat w h a t she is like. T h e question Is, shall you be happy w i t h her?" " S h e will have nothing todo with me," said fair Marguerite, " I belong to you." "You do my darling, Heaven be praised! but Thamer has been mistress of Oakclifte for some years; she is peculiar, ller's Is a sad story. She married Sir Robert Perth, and She loved him very much. She was very happy for a year or two, then he died. And the strange thing is that he left all his money away from her, and she h a s nothing to live upon except w h a t j give her." " W h y was t h a t ? " asked Marguerite. " N o one knows. I wrote to her at once, and asked her to share my h o m e . " "Do you mean," asked Marguerite, with wide-open eyes, " t h a t she will not be pleased at my coming here?" "Not exactly t h a t , " he replied; " b u t if she seems a little proud, or hard, or cold with you bear it patiently for my sake." " I shall not mind it," ans wered the girl-bride, carslessly. "Oh, Douglass, what a place, how beautiful, how magnificent!" "This is home my darling," said Lord Stair, "and Heaveli send you a long and happy life h e r e . " Alas! Alas!

All fpatriotic citizens will J^di lin with Messrs. Aultman, Miller & Co., of Aaron, Ohio,in general congratulations over the big victory which their "Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder" gained at Shepparton, Victoria, Dec. 14, 1886, oyer various competitors, by which the great national gold medal was won. The following article taken from the Melbourne Argus of Dec. 18 last, tells how it wto done: The Argul says: "The field trial reapers and hinders in connection with the National Show at Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 14th instant, on Mr. Guthrie's fanii, about two miles from Shepparton. Owing to the pressure of harvest work, crops in all directions being ripe, the attendance of farmers did not exceed 150, but great interest waa taken in the proceedings. As at the late show, the. judges placed the Ilornsby machine first, McCormick second and the Woods third; the "Buckeye" representative disliked being left out in the cold, and demanded a field trial as provided by the rules, the McCormick also f a r i n g in the protest; so the prizes were held over pending the field trial. The crop was ripe wheat, and the land was so rough that none of the machines could show very low cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods was tolerably severe on horses, machines and drivers Two o'clock was the hour fixed for the trial, but as. the "Buckeye" was tbe only machine then ready, a delay was caused by the Hornsby and McCormick experts giving their machines a preliminary run in the adjoining block of crop, and a start was n<>t made until a quarter past three. The five judges gave great attention to their duties, and were ably seconded by the .sub-committee appointed by the society and the secretary, . Mr. Harold B. Turnley. About two acres were allotted to each machine, and they finished in the following order: "Buckeye," lh. 10 mih.*; Hornsby, lh. 19 min.; McCormick, lh. 26 min. The two latter machines were drawn by three horses each, while two lighter horses worked the "Buckeye" binder with equal ease. The decision of the judges was based on the following scale of points: iat - J a 3 C e f Maximum points 15 '•Buckeye1' Hornsby McCormick. The judges 15 15 10 (Messrs. — a S3 'T.'Z 10 10 5 a.

The reduction of internal revenue and the takina otT of revenue stampfrom Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the eu^tomeis. as well as relieving the burden of home manufactures. Especially i> the case with Green's August Flower f.nd Boscbee's German Syrup, as th* reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size ot the bottles containing these remedies thereby giving one-tifth more medicine in tbe 75c. size. The Augus, Flower tor Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, a i d the German Syrup tor Cough and Lung trouble-, have perhaps the largest sale of any medicine in the worlds The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appieciafed bv the sick and afflicted. in every town and^villa.'e in civilized countries.

Twenty years spent within those gray (jonvent walls. The "world" had n o t known Sister Loretto sinco she was a blooming, bright-eyed girl ofeighfcdfen. At thirtyeight little remained of the once lovely face. The rich coloring had flown from it long ago, leaving in its stead an almost death-like whiteness. The large eyes were etill wonderfully expressive, but the fire had gone out of them forever. T h e first few ye«tts of her convent experience indeed had been different, but none had ever known it save Sister Loretto herself. Many were the nights she had lain awake in her email, uncarpeted "cell" and sobbed like a child (she had been little more than one when she entered the cloister) until the dawn came stealing in at the window and the chapel bell rang out in the morning stillness. ''Oh, I have made a mistake!" she would cry again and again in theppfvacyand quietude of her own "cell." "I might have been less unhappy a s a sister of merey or a sister of charity, where I was doing .some ^ood—where I was helping some one! But this shut-in life, th'at is t o go on forever, kills me! I have t o o much time t o think—too much time to think." Ah, how hapffy she had been! So happy that she had pitied every one else in the world. She knew no one could ever have been quite so happy. Had ho not called her "Ruth?" Had ..he not told her hrow much he loved her —how she had quite stolen his heart away in that one brief summer sea-' son, with her great, dark eyes? And then had he not kissed her, and held her in his arms o u t there in that still little garden,with the moon shining down upon them through the young maples and horse chestnuts? In that soft yellow light the "girl had looked up into Dallas Wilmarth's face in sjueh a childish,rapturous way that the young man's heart (allowing that he had one) suddenly smote him. The little fool, he yaid to himself, was really in love with him. Why did she—took- at him in t h a t stupid way? Had she really believed every foolish word he had spoken? Other girls, t o whom he had spoken pretty much the same thing, had not looked like that. It was true he had gone rather farther this time—farther than he had intended doing at the beginning, but the moonlight, the sweet, honeysuckled scented air, the pretty girl m her prebfry-htttr^rad-all.conspir ed against him. Well, it was n o t t o o late t o rotraco hjs steps. He must make, haste,hovv> ever. Iluth was very lovely, and'Wilmarth really cared for her-^-as much as ho was capable of doin^. He was not in a position to marry a poor girl. She would only drag him down, he argued; and he had a name . t o make, and talents t h a t must n o t be buried- in a foolish marriage. If Ruth only had the requisite money! It was a pity she had not. Wiimarth frowned slightly. "What is it? Something annoys you," Ruth said, quickly. The young man hesitated a moment. Then—the sooner the thing was over the better, he decided. "I—I fear I have said rather more than I ought to, Ruth," he began; but . his customary hardihood forsook him a little, and his voice was not altogether as firm*and assured as he would have wished it. "Have said more than y o u ought to?" Ruth repeated, wonderingly. "Yes; I have been t o o impulsive; that has always been my failing. I —could not resistJ^filLinjL^PU that Iiove you, and—and now—to-morrow^T must leave you," he stammered forth. "Leave me?" she cried, incredulously- Wiimarth heard the tone and frowned again—this time patiently. "Yes, I am coing away," he said. The girl turned on him in sudden fear. "You do nob mean it," she asserted, quickly. "You told me you would be here the rest of the summer." "But I do mean it—I must go, Ruth; I have stayed t o o long a s . i t i s , " exclaimed the young man, "And when will y o u come back?" "I don't know; I can't say. I don't think I can ever come back." He managed t o s a y this with difficulty, and he turned & little away. He could not bear t o meet those miserable ©yes. "And y o u dared tell me you loved ^eae when y o u knew y o u were Roing a w a y never to return?" cried the girl passionately. With a lour, dry sob she threw herself down on the grogs a t his feet. The moonlight w a s shining full on her slender figure, in its crushed white dreas; her large hut off, She made Suite a pretty, .picture lying therein. . ia long, tangted grass. Somehow Wiimarth thought he should sever be - s t - able t p get the picture quite o u t of bis mind. "<i»od-by," she said, without looking up. When she did raise her head he was gone. But all this was twenty years ago, and why need Sister Loretto forget her prayers in recalling it DQW? Once more she turns the black beads friowly in her thin, transparent hands. She is conscious, in a vague sort of way, like one in a dream, of a little child—one of the school children— running toward her. "Sister Loretto! Sister Loretto!" the child cried, breathlessly, "some one wants t o see you in the waiting room." This little room faces east, s o the sunset glow does not toWch it. It is quite dim when the nun enters it, and she can barely distinguish the tall figure standing so close to the iron bars which separate them from one another. "At last!" cries a man, catching at the barrier between them, and leaning toward her. The whitened hair and sunken eyes she does n o t remember, but ah, that voice! "You?" she says, and bears heavily against the bars. The man walks quickly across the room and sweeps aside the little white stiflly-starched curtain from the lower half of the window. "Let m e s e e y o u while there is light," he cries. "I never thought t o see your face nsain." "YouSwill hardly recognize it the nun says simply. How calm her voice is! It surprises even herself "And y o u are here?" he goes on hurriedly, impassionately. "You have been here all these years, and I ! never knew it until a day or so ago! I Why did you hide from me in this way? Ah, y o u were cruel—cruel: the years I have spent in looking for ! you! I went back t o the little old town once but you had gone; yonr sister was dead—there was no clew to yon. Ah, Ruth, tyhe pain you have caused me. Yon taught me to love y o u and t h e n \ r a n and hid from me. You would pity me if y o u knew the aimless, miserable existence I have lead all these years. "Don't ark me if I have married. Ji"ow could I love any woman afteu you? Your face, your eyes, your lips haunted me. It was impossible to forget you. Twenty years have I been faithful to you. Is not that devotion? Did y o u imagine I was capable of loving this way! And now I have found y o u a t last, Ruth; a n d I a m going to take you away with me. We are no longer young it is true. The freshness of our youth is gone forover. But do not many years of happiness yet reitfain for us? I have influence and can get a dispensation for you. I have already spoken_ in highqn ax tors. You sh a k e_ your head, but yon do not mean it. ^No, you shall not stay in thi^ place. Think of the wasted years spent here. Come, Ruth dearest,forgive the past." He pours forth this torrent of words with feverish haste. There is a gleam in the sunken eyes that reminds the nun more of ohe past than anything else has dona.

A boarding house at the Colby mine In Bessemer, Ontonagon county, burned about" 4 o'clock on t h e morning of March 33d. It was a two-story frame building accommodating about 25 men and the work of d i w u c H o u was so sudden as to allow of'thejescape of only about half of t h e occupant*, several of whom were seriously injure*! by leaping through the windows of thc{ - second atory- Frank Miller and wife, who were in charge of the* house, and two hired, glxls, were the only occupauts of the first floor, and barely escaped in their night clothes. Twelve persons perished in the; flames. The building w a s a two-story frame structure and burned like tinder, leaving no time for alarm after the fire was discovered. Twenty-one'boarders occupied rooms In the second story. Only nine of these escaped by jumping from the windows. Several were, seriously injured, but none fatally. The names of the victims, who were "laborers at the Colby mine, are as follows: J p h n Sutton, Max Privedell, Henry Saam, .1. Brass, John liaal, J a m e s John Lyons,'Simon Rizzo, T. Brassa, Win. Williams, John Garvey and one unknown. The bodies are so completely charred as to prevent identification. No clew to the origin of the fire. T h e victims were all ..single men. A coroner's jury viewed the body and retured a verdict of accidental death, and exonerating the alining company from all blame. There seems, to have been undue haste in disposing of the dead, as they were buried the same day. A n s w e r e d t h e L a s t K o U C a l l . Adjt.-Goii. Robertson died at the residence, of his son-in-law in Detroit on the 20th inst, John Robertson was a Scotchman, and was born in Portsoy, lJarifshire, J a n u a r y 2, 1814. He was a descendant of t h e Robertson and Stewart clans on the father's side, and'from the family of Forbes, one of the largest in- Scotland, on the mother's. H e began studies preparatory to a professional life, but lie showed such a strong Inclination for military life that the course was abandoned. In 1829, on leaving the school, he obtained a clerkship in the general postoffice of Scotland, at E d i n b u r g h b u t becoming tired of the constraint he sailed for Montreal.Que. From there.he traveled on foot to Plattsburg, ;N. Y., worked his way across Lake Ohariiplaiu, and at Burlington, Vt., J u l y 2, 1833, he enlisted as a private soldier in the United States army. I n the spring of 1S34 Private Robertson was assigned to the Fifth Infantry, at Fort Howard, Gre<m Bay, Wis. Soon after joining the regfhwjnt he was appointed a non-commissined officer, and served for nearly six years as quartermaster-sergeant and sergeant-major. He thus received military instruction which in after years did much to fit him for positions he so admirablyfilled. After his term of service7 expired Mr. Robertson was engaged in the Quartermaster and Commissary Departments of the division at Prairie du Chien. In 1840 he came to Detroit, and soon after entered the merehantile house of Brady & Trowbridge. A few years afterwards lie accompanied one- of the firm to Mexicd, where for eighteen months he engaged in merehantile pursuits. Coming back to Detroit, he rejoined C.~Ar-Tmw— bridge in tin: commission business and "ater became Tris partner. At Hie breaking out-of the war in 1801 Gov. Blair appointed Mr. Robertson adjutant- general of the state, an office he held until his death. Before this lie had been identified with the state troops. In 1855 he received his first commission from Gov. Bingham, and so for thirty-two years he had been of the state militia. A B l o o d y R e v e n g e . Convict Isaac Clark, who, in connection With Daniel Graham, was sent to Jackson forlf-.e Korris murder about six years ago, made a murderous assault upon convict Plattner. who, Clark claims, swore him into prison. T h e assault, which occurred at the dinner hour, was committed by Clark with a shoemaker's knife, with which he cut Plattner several times, one "ofthe gashes being clear, around the left eyeTTvearly cutting that member from its (socket. ""tJUirk was seated at the end of the table next t h e aisle, and as Plattner came along-Clark"sprang up and began the slashing, and as Girarrtv-another convict and a partner of the injured, man, attempted to interferre, he too was stabbed 'by the infuriated Clark. The latter was struck on the head by a guard named Bald -Win.. loss. But two men were employed and It was feared that they were killed, but It was afterwards found that they had escaped: -•"• • •<•••••-^^.-- The building In which they were working took fire in -the roof and the men ran fortheir lives, barely having time to get to aplaceof safety before the whole building containing throe tons of high explosives went off with terrific force. Hundreds of people hurried out to the scene, expecting to find nothing but the mangled remains of their friends in the ruins, but great was their joy when they met the two men coming towards them safe and souud. The shock was felt in some directions fifteen miles away. The loss falls entirely on Mr. Anthony and will reach probably 85,- 000. T h e P r o h i b i t i o n P r o g r a m . The following has been given to the press: „To the members of tho prohibition party of Michigan: Since our state ticket is fairly in the field, we are not in favor of withdrawal. However, as personal friende of the pro-* hibition party, unofficially, we give it as our opinion that in the interest of the amendment, the success of which lies very near our hearts, it would be wise to omit nominations in all localities in the state for township, village iind county offices. There may be cases where the necessity of running a separate ticket is imperative, but such cases are very f«w. DAVID PKESTON:, WATSON S^YDEK, SAMI'KI. DICKIE. Detroit, March, 1SS7. STATE I T E M S . The annual^ public sale-of "Cattle at the agricultural college was held March 2S. Of the thirty-two annimalssold the twentysix shorthorns brought SI, 175, averaging over S1:>0 each. The highest price paid for any one animal was .S:>0U. T h e five Hereford^ brought iV.s.>. T h e sale seems to have been a .satisfactory one both to the state board of agriculture and the buyers. The public sale was held two years ago, and was so satisfactory that it is now expected to hold a sale annually. In this way the state board of agriculture believes the state farm may contribute to the important work of distributing animals of approved breeding among the farmers of our state. While services were in progress in the M. E. church at Holly the other evening, a dastardly attempt was made by some scoundrel to burn the building. A ball of cotton saturated with coal oil was lighted and thrust under the steps at the carriage entrance. A late comer noticed the smoke and gave an alarm. About 300 persons* were in the building, which was quickly emptieTr\vTnrC)utaccidonrto-TrnyonF. One lady fainted and many others were badly frightened. A reward will be offered for the arrest of the incendiary. George W. Griggs, one of the oldest residents of Grand Rapids, died t h e other afternoon. He was born in New Jersey in 1815, and came to Michigan in 1838. He was at one time quite wealthy and took an "active'part in orgautzlTig"th-e-West Michigan fair society, and was a member of. the state fair society."' He Avas once grand master of the I. O. O. F.

The prison physician was sent for and dressed Plattner's wounds, the .gash around the eye alone requiring 16 'stitches to close.it. ' It was known to some of the officers of the prison for a long time that Clark had a mortal grudge against Plattner, and had been heard to say "that he would kill the latter if he got the chance; but it was not known, of course, that he had a knife. This he had managed to secret from the shop in which he worked, and waited his chance, whjch came on4y a few days since, when the guards were not near. When the cutting took place,"all of the 700 convicts sprang to their feet and an uprising seemed im-* minent, but the coolness of the guard In promptly knocking Clark insensible quieted the crowd very quickly. It took some time to bring Clark to, but he finally came around all right and will taste solilary confinement on a bread and water diet for a time, besides getting a good thrashing with the strap. Nitro G l y c e r i n e W o r k s E x p l o d e d . About a o'clock the other afternoon the people of Negaunee were startled by a fearful explosion, and everyone ran Into the streets to ascertain tho cause. A black cloud of smoke was seen to rise from the ground towards the west end of the tow n, and It was learned that the powder mill and nltro-glycerlne works located a mile out of the city had blown up.

This changes the former d a t e aud lengthens the time of adjournment. The senate has passed the bill to provide for the incorporation of building a n d loan societies.

The senate has passed the bill making c o m p u s o r y education apply to children lrom 7 to 14 years of age, and increasing the pro-cribed school term from four to MX months annually. Tho bill to allow the state agricultural society t o permanently locata the state fair has bean favorably reported to the house. This is the Jackson s 'heme a n d it is likely t o get a black eye iu t h e house. The bill to establish the death ponalty for m u r d e r failed to pass in the house, lacking one of t h e necessary constitutional vote. . The m a t t e r was reconsidered,and th<3 bill was laid upon the table, to be taken up ugaiu a t a more favorable time. The "Age of Consent bill" was discussed in the house very ably by Representatives b a k e r and McK.ie of Berrien, H e r r h i g t o u of Oakland, and Ashton of Traverse, in favor of 14 years, and Diekema of Ottawa, and Hosford 01 Wayne, in favor Of 10 years.

Senator Crosby's bill t o r e c o n s t r u c t the ileliu.juent tax laws by establishing the county system will come after the adjournment over election. Mr. Crosby is diligently a t w o r t , collecting ligures in support of his measure.

One bill which has already passed both houses, provides Xo'r sending female prisouors, heretofore- sent to county jails, to tho Detroit> i6use of correction. This law is applicable mainly to keepers a u d inmates of ^fousea of ilbfame, who are sent for short terms. 'Ihey will hereafter" bo shipped from every county in the state t o Detroit, and, a l t e r a brief imprisonment, be turned adrift in the city t c s w e l l tho already large list of abandoned creatures. Another bill which is uuder consideration provide*: ' T h a t any court f>f criminal Jurisdiction in this state i-hall have power m the discretion of the court, to^ sentence any male person,, convicted for tho first time of any ollense, m u r d e r a n d treason excepted, punishable by imprisonment iu the state prison, to imprisonment in the J etroit house of correction, instead of the stato pri»on, and every such person so sentenced shall be received into the houso of correction, and shall i>e kept and employed therein in tho m a n n e r prescribed by law, and sh«U bo subject to the rules and discipline of t t o house of correction: l'ro->d-':t That no charge a g a i n s t a n y county nor the state shall be allowed for the maintenance of persons sontenced to s iid hou-e of correction." By t h e passago of tliis bill the Detroit uouBe of correction would bo placed sido by side witbrthe state prison a t J_ackson, and would be likely to soon pass the state prison in magnitude. The bill gives all criminal c o u r t s power to send prisoners t o Detroit when convicted cf a first offense. As about three-fourths of all criminal convictions are for first offenses, the law would apply to 75 per cent of all persons sentenced.

An animated debate oceirrred in the home the other day over the bill for the protection of game. As njneuded, it limits the season for deer hunting to one month, *iz,; froto November 1 to December 1. It also forbids the use of dog4 in hunting, pursuing and killing deer, a n d a n y d o r seen following upon the t r a c k of a deer is declared a public nuisance, t o be killed on sight withont recourse to l a w or indemnification to the owner. This p a r t of the bill was objected to by Representatives Rumsey and Manly. It was defended by Representatives Thompson, Perkins and Cannon. The house refused to strike it out. Another principal a m e n d m e n t forbids tho spring shooting of ducks. The terms of this portion of the bill read us follows: "No person shall kill or d e s t r o y a n y wild duck save only from the 1st of September in each y e a r to the 1st d a y of J a n u a r y p o x t following, or any wild w a t e r fowl or snipe between the 1st ot May and the 1st of September in each year.

They follow this practice night a n d day. Sportsmen have written m a n y letters here, urging t h e immediate fiassage of tho spring duck shooting bill inroduced by Senator Giddings. The governor has signed t h e bills attending the a c t relative to life insurance comp a n i e s ; relative to public instruction and p r i m a r y schools; incorporating the Baptist convention, and a m e n d i n g the laws relative to renewing incorporations of companies organized for miniug and m a n u f a c t u r i n g purposes. Messrs. Perkins, Bates aud Lincoln have been appointed tho special committee tof investigato hre and m a r i n e insurance companies doing business in this state. A hearing will be given l* foro tho committee on public lands April 7 of Representative Hosfoi-d's bill in reference to the reversion of lands granted tc corporations b u t unused by them for a certain number of years. T. J. O'Hrien of'Uraud Rapids, 0. M. Barnes of Landing, a u d Henry Russell of Detroit, will appear in opposition to t h e bill. The governor has signed the bills prohibiting saloons within o n e mile of the soldiers' h o m e ; and a u t h o r i z i n g supervisors to purchase cemeteries of burial places fordocCused sfcddiers. Tho house committee of t h o whole has agreed to a bill providing t h a t »11 factories Hud worshops where emery wheels of a n y description are used, either 6olid emery, leather, leather covered, felt, canvas, linen, paper or "Wheels rolled in emery or corundum, shall be provided with blowers or similar a p p a r a t u s , which shall be placed over, beside or under ^tiicl wheels m such munnev as to carry a w a y all dust arising from "said emery- who-.-ls while in operation, directly to the outside of tho building, or some receptacle placed s-o as to receive such dust.

Tho penalty for violation of the act is a fine of $100. _The^ bill was introrrtrcod by Mr. Ogg at tho request of workmen in tho stove works in Detroit. A cohort of railroad l a w y e r s swooped down on the senato tho other d a y . Among tho number were Ashley Fond, attorney for tho Vanderhbt roads, IJuorgn .foroine of tho D. & M., Alfred Russell of. the Wabash, and Henry ittiiigell of the Michigan Central. Mr. l'oiid g a v e ^ a n expo-ion of the inter strtte commerce lav^-a^lio viewed it. jig said the law was very obscure and soctions of it susceptible of various"TrwLyrpretations. They appeared as though thro wit-- together in a hat and t a k e n out a t random. Representative Keagnu and Senator CuUom had each framed parts...of the law and had a p p a r e n t l y desired t o , c o u n t e r a c t tho provisions of each other. Mr. Pond's interpretations were based largely on English laws framed for similar purposes. Ho said that- roads could still giv» lower rates for carloads than for small loads, lie believed t h a t this rule would extend to allow lowor rates for train load^ than for carloads, but roads differed on this point. The provision as to long a n d ^hort hauls was tho weakest p a r t of ths law. It. could be so interpreted as to be practically n u g a t o r y and this was the interpretation which roads would adopt. Mr. Pond's a r g u m e n t continued t h r o u g h tho d a y Mr. Jeromfc and Mr. T. J. O'Brien followed bnetrVy in the same line of argument, though without going into detail. The bill of Representative O v i a t t for the publication in at least one newspaper of the c o u n t y of the proceedings of boards of >upervi?ors directly after t h e sessions close cama up In the senate a fews ago, Senator Hubbell objected to the m e a s u r e ; Senator Mayo proposed an a m e n d m e n t making it optional with tne supervisors. T ese t w o members were down upon the bill. Senator Palmer showed t h a t it waga measure in the interest of t h e people and had mu h merit in it. Senator Post 8"\id t h a t t h e change was very slight from the e x i t i n g l a w - o n l y t h a t it required publication a t each session of tho board. The law now requires publication a t the close of the annual sessions. Sonator Gidding ma- e a good impression by remark- in the same line, spying that the publication was made in his county in three and sometimes in four newspapers, frequently a t oss to t h e publishers, S e n a t o r Holbrook ihou?ht the bill should go further and provide for tho publication in pamphlet form. The a m e n d m e n t of Mr. Mayo w a s rejected and the committee agreed t o tho bill. I t has already passed the house. The bill of Senator Post providing for indeterminate sentences of criminals, and also for t h e management a n d release of prisoners under rentende, by a system of paroles something like the English ticketof-, e ive, has been killed by the senate, all after t h e enacting clause h a v i n g been stricken out. It met with but little favor. Senator Moon thought it impossible, though admitting that something worth while might be accomplished by the parole , or ticket-of-leave system—if our country were insular and situated as in England. Both housee have adopted a resolution for an election receu from April 1 to ApriiS. The two houses mot in j o i n t convention the other day, with President Monroo in the.chair, to'listen t» eulogies upon the late (ien. John Robertson. There were m a n y that remembered t h a t the lamented gentleman had attended such joint gatherings of tho legislature for m a n y sessions. Copies of all the published works of Gen. Robertson were placed upon the desk and m a n y flowers sent, from t h e agricultural college tilled the a t m o s p h e r e of the house with_ r a r e perfume. The programe ob- "served~wasrflrst" a prayer~by~rtev. Mrri*eatr N e a r e r , My (rod, to Thee," n n d ''it Is Well W i t h My Soul." wore sung b y tho Lansing Men's Choir. Then followed the reading of a biographical sketch by Representative Bates, and eulogies by Senators Deyo, Seymour, Giddjngs, Talmer, a n d President Monroe, and by Repre-*eatatives Manly, Hill and Thompson. S y m p a t h e t i c and appreciative resolutions out-lining the public services of Gen. Robertson, in a faithful manner, were adopted and ordered spread upon tb« rocords. The senate has adopted a resolution calling upon tho superintendents of the various insane asylums to furnish lists containing the full name,, nnd age and d a t e when received, the county and the weekly charge made for the s u p p o r t of each patient who is a c h i r g e to t h e s t a t e ; aleo the sunie facts with ragard t o patients who are a charge upon tho countios and those who a r e at p r i v a t e charges. Not wisely, but too woll. '"What's home rule, J o h n , " asked his wife at tea, "that tho papers talk of s o ? " John looked as sad as could be and groaned in utter misery, "I wish.

The Lady Perth, rich in pride, «n family jewels, ID titles, bat in nothing else; a thin, angular woman, who owed what little symmetry there was in her fiigure entirely to her dress-maker, and her complexion to her maid; hard, cold, and proud as woman could be, gating with her whole heart the fair young wife whom her brother had brought home, and determined to do her all the c l i c h e possibly could. Lady P e r t h rose from her seat as her brother entered the room with Marguerite on his arm; her face and her heart hardening at the sight of that fair loveliness. Lord Stair held his wife's hand as be took her forward. "My sister, Lady Perth," ho said, " I have brought you a sister to love." Lady Perth gave Marguerite the regulation kiss; she would rather have bitten the fair face with its dainty bloom. She murmured something like a greeting, while Lady Stair's heart grow cold nnd chill. Alone with her husband she would have laughed and talked, she would have looked at all the beautiful things the room contained: she would have been her own bright, natural, beautiful self. But in the presence of Lady Perth she was mute and miserable. Lord Stair was disappointed; he could not imagine wkat shadow had fallen over his bright, fair wife. They were a most iftit'oinfortable trio. Lady P e r t h wae magnificently dessed; she wore some line jewels, and seemed to enjoy displaying her rings. It was a great relief when the dinner-bell rang, but Lady Stair, when she went to her room, said to herself that it was the most wretched evening she had ever spent in her life. She looked pale and tired. She was disappointed, too; she had not expected to lind this cold, proud woman in the very heart of her home. Marguerite felt that she would never like her. The day after their arrival a very Bolemn scene took pltfre, daring which Lady P e r t h made a transfer of the keys. " I have been mistress of Oakcllfft; for many years," she said; "but of course to my brother's wife I give way. Unless," she continued, with an' air of eager anticipation, ''unless you would like me to retain'my office." Lord and Lady Stair had discusBed this matter. Marguerite would fain have been rid of the responsibility alto gethcr, butjher husband would not have it BO. It wo ild bo better, b e t h o u g h t , for her to take h e r p l a c e a t once. There must be some little awkwardness let the change come when it would. u Y^rfare so young and so inexperienced," continued Lady P e r t h , " t h a t if it will be any relief t o y o u , I can keep , on my office." '__••_._ Lady Stair thanked her, but, rememb e r i n g h e r husband's wishes—on-th© suliject, declined and said she would try to do the best she could. She could net help seeing the hate that gleamed in those cold, pale eyes. " J u s t as you like. It will be better, to come to a perfect understanding at once, You wish me, of course, to relinijuish all-authority in the house?" "I wiBh nothing of the kind," replied Lady •"Stair; ""T decline altoge ther to be jjrawn into anything of the kind. I _have no wish to express on the subject." Lady P e r t h looked somewhat surprised. ^ :^Lord Stair and you had better make whatr-arrangement8 you like!" She tobk^ho keys and she took her place, leaving Lady P<tfth more in awe of her spirit and character than she had been before. ^ , The tirat week or two of theic^return passed and Lady Stair found herseirQcenpied in learning as it wera her news irrbundiugs—-making acquaintance with all the country people who has^ tened to see her and were charmed with her—in going over and over again the whole of the beautiful old house, which was indeed^ palace—in learning, tho different rooms, their different uses—in studying the fine old pictures. " I t is like learning a beautiful lesson," she would say to her husband, with a smile. At the end of three weeks she knew the grand old place just as though she had lived in it all her life; her intimate knowledge of it anger^iLJLrady P e r t h . She knew by that time most of the neighbors. Then followed a few weeka of what they called local festivities. -T-hey-w«ftt -ev-eiy_arhere-.lQ dine. XiOiiL Stair groaned over the duty; but it was an essential one, and he went through it bravely. Then came the beautiul sultry month of August, and with it a grand cairn—there was no more visiting, and few visitors—a grand calm, during which Lady Stair had for the first time since her marriage begun to recognize her 1 f . And tnere came to her a terrible blank. Lord Stair, finding t h a t he was settled in life—feeling himself unutterably happy with his young wife, returned to those occupations which his love and his marriage had somewhat interrupted. Then to her, strange to say—after all the novelty, the dazzling exoitement of the first few months of her married life —came a reaction. She woke from the glamour of a dream to find herself, after a fashion desolate. Lord Stair, although stftb tho most devoted of husbands, was no Icmger t h e devoted lover, who h a n g trembling on every word t h a t oamafrom her lipsv . H e was most kind, most Indulgent^ but he. Bpent a great deal of time in his library over the studies and art.he loved so much> Lord Stair had sent an urgent invitation to Cyril Nairne, begging him to cotne to Oakcliffe and spend tome time with his daughter: but the answer was t h a t he was wholly engrossed in the writing of an opera t h a t was'' to m a k t him famous, and that he would come when it was finished. There was no resource for her, and •he had to fall back upon herself. ,She \ was seventeen now. and t h e pomp, the ceremony, the grandeur of her life weighed upon her; she longed for some of the old freedom—she would have given anything to have roamed about the magnificent grounds and park of Oakcllife, as she had roamed through the gardens at InUfall, unfettered and, free. Here, if she w^nt out, she must take a aervant—she must wear a veil lest ''freckles mark her for their own." She could not run after ..he butterflies or watch the birds; she must walk in a stately fashion, as became the Lady Stair. H was no unusual thing for her to wish t h a t 8ho had waited a few years longer before she had "exchanged her maiden gladness" for a name and for a ring. She was not unhappy, but as time passed on a certain feel'ng of desolation and lonliness grew upon her. She was so young and so child-like, she wanted young and lively companions. Still if she had been alone with her husband all would have gone well; but there was Lady Perth at hand, always under the guise or kindness ready to make mischief; reedy to insinuate something to her brother against Marguerite; ready to complain of her youth, her want of due prudence and discretion; always ready, on the other hand, to condole with Marguerite, and insinuate that Lord Stair was tired of her, t h a t he|had shut himself away from her, t h a t he found her light and f r i v l o u s . " A lie that is all a lie is not very dangerous thing, but a lie t h a t is half a truth is the one that leaves 'u sting " No iine3 were ever more true than these. Lady Perth never said one thing that could be taken hold of. After a conversation with her, neither husband nor wife could ever remember anything distinctly. It was the general vague impression that made the mischief. If Lady Perth had not heen at Oakcliffe, the tragedy of t h i s a t r r y would not have happened. " Y o u r wife is so very y o u n g , " w a s the general commencement of her conversation with Lord Stair—"so young, that she seems to mc to want just a little overlooking." "Of course she is y o u n g , " he would answer, "And very inexperienced. If you think any little hint needful, you should give it to her Thamer." And t h a t conversation in Lady Perth's hands would be twisted thus. The next time t h a t Marguerite gave her the opportunity of correcting her, she would preface her remarks by saying. "You must excuse me if I seem to be i n t e r f e r i n g , but my brother thought that perhaps some little hint from me might be useful." Which was true in its way, and so far; but the impression given was a l w a y s - a false one—It left Margu exitc_with the con vieti0n\ th ajt her husband had been, tlnding with her to his sister, and that w tolerable to the girl who had been shiped in the hom-j af I rife fall anda* by th.e..»£iyest part of tuo London world. It induced a feeling of hardness and dislike against hor husband; she felt that it w;is not just of him to talk her over with his sister—that if he had 4*ny fault to find with her,.he should speaks tqheraelf. She'"did not know that »,he fault* were always suggested by Lady Perth and -.disbelieved by Lord Stair. So, by degrees,^ a certain feeling of restraint grow between them. Lady Stair lost her sense of magnificent house seemed prison. " I was twice as happy she;woTrtrt*Bay to herself. in thinking that, after all, marriage is not such a very happy state, I was happier with my father at Inftfall." Old habits came back to Lord Stair; he never thought that his wife was anything but the happiest of women; she lived in a palace, she had' a retinue of servants, she had the finest jewels in England, she had every comfort and luxury, and no woman could desire more; it did not occur to him t h a t her heart was empty. So tho beautiful summer months passed, autumn and winter^ went by. A great^^yent happend in tho spring. -With t h e ' w b j t e snow-drops and blue violets, with thre-.green leaves and the song birds,came a pretty baby daughter, surely the prettiest daughter ever seen. Lord Stair was delighted; he would, perhaps, have preferred a son and heir, but thjs lovely little babe was charming. There was pealing of church bolls, addresses and congratulations, as though she had been some little royal princess. I t was oyer the little baby stranger that the first real'dispute occurred. " I want my baby to be called Daisy, after my mother,'' said Lady Stair to her husband. She looked indescribably beautiful with the little one nestling in berarnrs:—^If^Trivp^er-the-rtamff-thatreally suits her 1 should call her 'Sunbeam.' She is a sunbeam to me." " I t is not a name," replied Lord Stair, laughingly, "although ft is a pretty word." Then came Lady Perth. "Yottr first daughter should have one of the old family names, Douglas," she said. "Speaking for myself, I think such names as "Daisy' and 'Violet,' are perfectly absurd and nonsensical." "My mother's name was Daisy.'" cried Lady Stair. • "I am speaking of our own class," said Lady Perth. "I do not sco t h a t it matters what names are taken by people of the middle class. Tn an old family like ours, names are of the greatest consequence." " T h a t is t r u e , " said Lord Stair. "We have some fine old names in our family." " I do not think yours a very nice one," said Lady Stair. " I would not have my beautiful 'Sunbeam' called 'Thamer.' I think it a very unpleasant kind of name." "Hush! my darling," said Lord Stair, with a smile. " I did not think you would let your wlfekinsult me!" cried Lady Perth to hor brother, as she quitted t h e room; and from t h a t moment she became the implacable enemy- of Lady Stair. C H A P T E R V t f l . THK SHADOW OP PATE. ^ The little Sunbeam did, not prove by jfreedom, the to her like a at Inisfall;" " L w a s right any means a source of harmony. Here Lady P e r t h had the advantage; she understood something of w h a t a nursery should [be, whereas Lady Stair had never hjad anything to do with children, had baldly, seen a baby. Lady Perth had certainly tho advantage, and she was not slow in making t h e most of It; she talked incessantly to her Lrotber of what should and what should net be done; it was she who chose the nurseries. Lady Stair's room, her favorite room, faced the north, and that would not do for a child. Lady Stair hardly I knew the difference, and when the [whole household supported Lady Perth, and her husband said gravely t h a t although his sister had no children, sbje had plenty of experience, Lady Stair gave way, and the two nurseries—one for day and one for night—were selected from the rooms that faced the west, and in this Lady Perth knew t h a t she was right. Once having proved her knowledge and wisdom, Lady Perth determined to hold her position. The beautiful young mother was not yet i i g h t e e n , a n d she looked even younger than she was: the servants who worshipped her for her beauty and kindness to them, seemed to understand by instinct that she knew nothing of children, and it became a custom to refer to Lady Perth on all matters connected with the nursery; whether the baby, should go out, how long it should stay. No one ever t h o u g h t of going to Lady Stair, and tho onJy person who seemed to rereaent this was the maid,Pho3be Askern. "Lady Perth could not give herself more airs," she said, "if the child were her own. Granted her beautiful mistress was young, and knew but little of children, her natural instinct would tell her what was right and what was wrong." Mijny a committee meeting was held between the indignant lady'E-maid, the butler, and the housekeeper, who all detested Lady Perth, evan as they loved their own yonng mistress. After that reflection on her mother, Lady Stair never mentioned the subject of her baby's name; even when her husband spoke of the festivities that must attend the baptism, she made no comment. "Have you decided yet what name to give the Tittle one?" he asked. "No," she replied; "to me she will always be 'Sunbeam.' " And Lord Stair remembering what had taken blace, said no more, BO that it was Lady Perth who selected baby's name from the family: archieves, and she chose the grand Saxon "kthel,"' the most noble and melodious name in the languaue, she declaired, but to Lady Stair the little ono was always "Sunbeam." „There were g^eut festivities when the little one was baptized. Lady Stair wrote herself to beg of her fatherio come at least'for a few days to Oakcliffe to seo the child; but he deferred his visit until t'life great work was completed; he told her that he dared not distract his thoughts. There was a grand ball, dinner-parties without number, every kind of festivity and -rejoicing,but,strange to say, even in the midst of it all, the hc/irt of~the~ young wife and mother was strangelydesolate. Lord Stair, sure of his wife's happiness, had returned to his own pursuits. He was engrossed now in writing " T h e History of Music in the Grecian Era," and the work required so much reading for so many references, that he never seemed to have one leisure moment. A few kind morris, a loving-kiss, an inquiry as to what she wanted, what she would like, when he passed his wife, wnen he met her, and there it ended. His passionate, wild adoration for her had given place to a kindly, loving, constant affection which did not display itself In words, lie would have given his life for her, and would have held the gift cheap; but it never occurred to him to sacrifice the hours that he now spent shut up in his library to her. He never dreamed that she was anything but content; she lived in a palace, she had every luxury, she had t h a t true source of happiness—her baby; she had not a wish Jn the world ungratificd— not one. . H e did not know t h a t the palace was to her very much like a prison, he did not know that Lady Perth never ceased to persecute her, but with persecutions so teival, so frivolous, that Lady Stair was too noble to speak of them. There was no hour in the day in which her sensitive mind was not wounded, in which her prido and delicacy were pot outraged. But Lord Stair never remarked it. ^ c spoke always as though his sister was of the greatest possible comfort and use to his wife, and did not seem conscious that there was the least ill-feeling between them. There ia nothing more wonderful than the destiny of men in some matters, and Lady Stair, unfortunately for her, was too proud to complain. He was s o j n s t b y nature, and be loved her so well, t h a t if he had known but one third of what passed, he would have found a home for Lady P e r t h elsewhere.

Luce has appointed April 25tb **Arbor day,'* and its universal observance is vary ardently des red. Apro pos of this subject we quote the closing words of N. H. Egleston in his "Notes* on Village Improverueat'1 in a recent issue of the Century. He says: "No other country is so rich in the variety and beauty of its trees as ours, and yet we have restricted ourselves in street planting for the most part to the elms and maples. Why should we not make use of the ash, the birches, the beech, the bass-wood or linden, the locust, the chestnut, the hickory, the sycamore, the magnificent tulip tree, the cypress, the larch, with the cedars and other evergreens,not to speak of the many other trees by a wise selection from which we may secure endlessly varied effects of form and color P" He makes a valuable suggestion in the following: **i» planting about our dwellings, *Jkrt should be taken not to plant trees to near the houses as to overshadow then! or prevent light and air from having free access to them. Trees are good and greatly to be desired, but wo must not allow them to shut away from us* the sunlight. The fountain of life is also the fountain of life. Sunshine is absolutely essential to healthy life and growth, whether animal or vegetable. Bright green turf, with a few low-growing trees or shrubs are better near a dwelling than a growth of forest trees." The trial of Arensdorf for the murder of Rev. Mr. Haddock is in progress at Sioux City, Iowa, and as the meshes tighten about the accused the interest grows intense. The testimony of the informer, Leavitt, has been unshaken by merciless cross examination, but a more formidable •witness even is the German, Bismarck, who gives a candid and detailed description of the shooting and tells of the sums paid him by Arensdorf et al. to induce him to go to San Francisco whither he was traced and arrested. Mrs. Haddock was seated in the court room by the side * f the wife of Arensdorf and confronting the latter. She showed the greatest fortitude and self-control until Bismarck gave his vivid description of the murder scene, when she broke into convulsive sobs a n i was soon carried fainting from the room m Florence Kelley, a daughter of Judge W.

So proud was she t h a t among all the nobles of Brisgan she could find none whom she thought worthy to call her lord. Among those whom she had, after her fashion, first attached to <her by every art, and afterward repelled with bitter derision, was a "young man o ' noble family, but slender fortune, who had long been in her service as page and squire, as the fashion of tnose days demanded. After years of patient waiting and hope the youth ventured to declare himself, and was received by the lady with a storm of sarcasms t h a t literally overwhelmed him. Stung to the heart by "kard speeches, and by the jMbse of his own folly and presumptfoflt which suddenly poured upon him like % flood, he left his miss tress' pres We're too proneto _lhm&7 of women as the weaker sex, but Dr. Lucy M.

Doors would open and shut mysteriously, footsteps resound through silent corridors, lights, illumined- by no visible hand, suddenly burn in the windows, while every mirxnr- iathe houeo rofloctod thoBhadowy form of a woman clothed in white, with long black hair hanging below her shoulders, would be seen—disappearing in one place only to appear the next moment in another. It happened, however, t h a t one day a young hunter of noble family, Kurt von Stein by name, a.stranger guest in one 6f the neighboring castles, was led, in the excitement of the chase, up to the very gate of the deserted mansion. The deer which he was pursuing rushed by him into the very ruins, as though it were taking sanctuary. After a while the idea occurred to the Vassar girls- appreciably in the lead. The list of ailments in the girls1 college was the shorter, and the total number of days off duty looked small beside the figures of the supposedly more robust men. — i ^ Bishop Warren of the Methodist Epis. copal churcli does not believe in gentle preaching to rich sinners. He says there are some pastors who go at it in ttnVstyle: "Brethren, you must repent, as it Were; and be converted, in a measure; or you will be damned, to some extent" The bisho > says says the consequences of sin must be depicted in no uncertain light, and the guilty sinner made to see bis lost condition except as he believes in and follow the "Prince of Peace.11 To the very large class who do not discover the wealth of opportunity that opens amid commonplace duties and uneventful lives, we offer for thought* ful consideration these words from Prof. Phelps: "Every day U-rday of crisis, ^ v e r y hour is an, hour of destiny. Every is the nick of time.'• Kurt rose and once beqan to make apologies for his unwarrantable intrusion. The lady waved a white hand toward him and bade him be seated. "Say no more, she said, in a sweet, sad voice. "I expected you." ' There was evidently some mistake here, thOuehTTCurt, but as the mis^ take seemed to mean a good supper, he was not unwilling to fall into it. He a t once took a seat at the table, and the lady toolc hers opposite him. She was certainly beautiful, he thought, as he looked again at her over the brimming wine cup. The wine, too, was excellent; so was the whole repast—at which the lady waited on him With her own-fair hands. At length the youn#n1an ventured to ask one or two Questions of his kindly hostess.^, "May I inquire," he said "ar*-y"ou, fair lady, the daughter of this house?*' y ,fv "Yes," was the answer, given, as it seemed, sadly and low. "And your parents?" "They are there," said the lady, pointing to the pictures on the wall. "Do you mean to say t h a t you live in this house alone?" asked Von Stein. ~ "Alone," returned the lady. " I am the last of my race." Who shall bay how it came about? The lady was beautiful, -the man was young. In such cases love is some1 times found t o be a plant t h a t does not take long in growing. Moreover, Von Stein, though noble, was poor, and-the lady the last of her race, the heiress of an ancient lineage, TPossibly the notion of the inheritance the lonely girl might bring with her had some part in thesudden passion which filled the young man's heart. Who can tell? It was not long before be found himself kneeling at her feet and offering the beautiful young maiden all t h a t he had t o offer—his devotion and his life. The lady listend silently and with bowed head to his ardent pleading. Then she said, looking up, but away from hiiu, and speakingly absently: "I have heard those words before." "But never from lips so true, so honest, so disinterested," said the young man, warmly, forgetting, in his facsination for thobeautiful lady, how he had certainly taken her inheritance into account in the first place. Tho lady sighed and was silent. Then she said: "If I yield to your Irishes wo must be married at once." ."Atonee!" cried Von Stein, per- .pej »little startled. Yet what lover found the time between betrothal marriage t o short! "j am y," he said, gallantly, "and imitient." 'he lady smiled, moved softly away an old worm-eaten chest which was against the wall, took from it two and a white veil and a crown of rtle, which she laid upon her dark ing hair. Her dress was white. I'Come," she saidTto her lover, and the way. little bewildered, after the fashion bride-grooms in qeneral.andscarce- ' nowing whether to be happy or .rmed, the young man followed his tde through, as it seemed to him, les of dimly lighted vaulted passages ,ti1 a t length they reached a vaulted mber, which they had no sooner ent h a n a g r e a t trondoornhutheaviiehindthem, withasound t h a t echothrough every arch of the dimly ted building. It was the chapel. lYour hand is cold, my love," said young man tenderly to his bride. To matter; yours has warmth and enough for both," replied the lady, et the life seemed actually to ebb the young man's heart as he obd^ the stone figure of a bishop, ich was sculptured in a gravestone he centre of the chapel, gradually from its recumbent position and up the steps of the alter. The of the bishop flamed liko glowworms, the candles upon the alter lighted of themselves, and the tones ofott organ roHed solemnly through 'Kurt Von Stein, wilt thou take the lady of Windeck-for ..£hy-lawful wife?" said the bishop, in low, sepulchral tones, which sounded .as though not he, but some muffled voice a dozi»n yards away, was speaking. At this moment the whole horror of the scene seemed to break upon the young man.—Avoond him, slowly ri.s-. ing from their graves, he saw tho shrouded forms and fleshless faces of the dead, who came to witness the ghostly marriage. Even the, face of • his bride, as his fascinated eyes fixed upon it, wore the livid hue of d e a t h . He turned in an agony to fly from the horrible scene, tried to snatch his hand from the cold, hard grip of the phantomtady, fell, as he believed,senseless upon the chapel floor—and awoke t o find himself, a t dawn of day, lying at full length on the moss-grown stone where he had sat at rest the ni^ht before, at the castle door, and his horse young man t h a t he might as well pay [intent cm an earlyjneal on the rank his respects to the'owner oTit, whetn-~ w"wV"-~ -** ^ - *• er she was a phantom or not. So he made his way up the staircase and knocked at a d o j r which was at the top of it. The door opened noiselessly, as though by an unseen hand, and admitted him into a lonj» corridor, lighted, and adorned with white marbTe statues. Next he came into a great hall, on the >valls of which hung a number of antique portraits, which in the center of the apartment was a table spread as if for supper. He sat quietly down at one end of the tablo, which was laid for two per'anna. Scarcely Had he done so when the door of the room opened noiselessly, and a lady young and beautiful, but with a somewhat sad and pale face entered the room. herbageof Thegrass- gro w n c o u r t When he told his tale in the village and a t the neighboring castles, no one in the-least doubted: that he had almost, if not quite, laid the unquiet spirit of the lady of Windeck. M e x i c a n C h i l d r e n . From a Letter by Fannie B. Ward. In all my long residence here I have seldom seen a rude or ill-mannered child, their innate politeness appearing to be as much a natural instinct as the Jesuit of careful training. Uponentering a room where company is present even the smallest toddlers will go from one to another of the guests, gravely shaking hands with each, while submitting to the caresses showered upon them. If you meet a lad in the street, of! will come his sombrero in a twinkling, while he makes an obeisance which a dancing master might envy. Even the gamin are famous for politeness, and the ragged beggar will acknowledge you* gift with the bow of a courtier._ .i _ - The quaint remarks of some of these little ones are exceedingly amusing. For example, my little friend (aged 6), whose ponderous name is nearly as long as herself, being no less than Guadalupe-Isabella Josefina Maria Figuroa de S , meets me every morning as I emerge from my room with hand outstretched for the customary shake. Invariably inquiring as gravely as ner elders: "Como passe V. la noche?" Dinner being delayed one day, the child turned to me with the most innocent expression on her sweet face, and piped forth: "Jesus, sino tengo hambre!" (Jesus, but I am hungry!) without a thought of irreverence in the ejaculation. In moments of sudden fright or distress the merest infant will cross himself and murmur, "Valga me, Dios," (protect me, God), as devoutly as his mother. THE SOUTHERN BOOM. to of of Mxim **m es tft« Ja*» 1» *k« !*•» ltffl«M tf tksAtlMtlc As I journeyed from Columbus Meridian I made the acquaintance a pleasant, intelligent countryman middle age, who told me t h a t he lived near the river and was a farmer and a merchant, and h a d by diligence accumulated a competency and felt grateful for his success. He had reared his children t o labor and had no drawback on his happiness. But last spring he thought he would run over t o Birmingham and look round, and while there he invested $1,000 j n a parcel of land a mile or so away and rented it out for | 2 5 a month, and came home. Two or three months ago ho began t o receive letters about it, and so he went back again in December t o see what was the matter. Calling on the gentleman who wrote him for it, he was asked t o price his Eroperty. True t o nature, he thought e would ask a big price, so as t o have margin to come down a peg or two, and so he mustered up courage enough to say: "Well, I will take $10,000 for it." The gentleman made no reply, but began to write on some papers, and in a few minutes said: "Please sign this deed. Here is a check for the money."I felt a little mean, said he for getting so much; For I had never in my life made money in t h a t way. But I came home, and t h a t pile of money worried me. I did not know what to do with it. I did not sleep so well as before I got it. Bo about a week ago I went t o Columbus and handed the money t o a good business friend of mine and asked him t o invest it for me. He smiled and said: "This is your Birmingham money?" "Yes," said I. "You sold t o o soon," said he. "1 have been there and I bought the very land you sold, and I gave $20,- 000 for it. 1 was amazed and replied: "Well you will lose money as sure as you live." "No, I won't," said he, "for I sold it yesterday for $40,000." The train-fspm Meridian to Birmingham was crowded, and so I removed my valise and gave a little Dutchman a seat beside me, "Mooch oblidged," said he. He was silent for a minute, and then looking up a t me, said: "Purmingham?" "Yes," said.I. "Spekelate?" "No," said I. "Vynot; you 'fraid?" "Yes," said I. "Vare you live?" "In Georgia,";said I. "Georgy one great peeg Statd. Varebouts in Georgy?" "Up about Rome," said I. "Rprne!

"I expect so," said I. "I ish a baker. I save $2,500 ft A seex vear, and now 1 queet." in "What for?" said I. "I spekelate and get reech more queek. "In Birmingham!" said I. "Na, na, Purmingham too peeg for little man like me. I stoop a t Tusca- IbOBe. I puy von lot dere two weeks ago for $2,200.

W h y T h e N i g h t i n g a l e S i n g s , From the Gentleman's Magazine. The "Westphalians have a curious explanatory myth regarding the nightingale. They imagine t h a t the bird's song may be rendered in these syllables of human speech: Is tit, is tit, is tit, to wit, to wit—Trizy, Trizy, Trizy, to bucht, to bucht, tobucht. But the last syllables are the usual shepherd's cry to his dog when he wishes the sheep collected. Therefore Trizy must be The name of t h e dog t o wh om the cry bucht is addressed. Thereforethe nightingale must have been a shepherdess, whom a shepard cursed because she always postponed the marriage she had promised. He uttered the wish t h a t she might not sleep till the day of judgment. Nor does she, for may not her voice still be heard a t night as she cries to bucht, to bucht, to bucht to her good dog Trizy? The same people give a strange explanation of the face of the shard, or flounder, which is all awry, with its eyes on one side o! its face instead of being straight, like the eyes of most other fish. Originally its face was a straight and sensible fish face, but one day it insulted a passing herring, and made a mocking face a t it, for which, as a punishment, it was never able to draw its face bach t o its original position. TOBACCO A xmmaiT%, It* Cwn«mpt!on Hf A*erl*»M taerw»w«. Washington Corr. New York Timtii. Whether tobacco is a luxury or necessity in our daily economy is disputed question, but judging from the quantity annually consumed it would seem t h a t tobacco is very Generally used by the people of the United States, and t h a t it must be a necessity to no inconsiderable portion of them. Those who have not analized the figures collected by the internal revenue department have no conception of the extent to which tobacco is used in this country. Tea is, classified as one of the daily necessities of life and enters into very general use, yet compared with the annual consumption of tea t h a t of tobbacco presents a very remarkable contrast. The importation of tea into the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1886, was «0,390,861 nounds, the appraised value of which was $16,000,000. Assuming t h a t two-thirds of the 60,000,000 of people of the United States are adults and consumers of tea, the per capita consumption would be about two pounds and the per capita expenditure of money on this account about forty cents. Compare these figures with those showing the annual consumption of tobacco. During the last fiscal year the quantity of manufactured tobacco upon which t a x was paid was 185,426,193 pounds, and as tax is not paid until the tobacco is t o be withdrawn from bond for the consumption those figures may be assumed to represent the quantity actually used. Snuff and cigars are not included in these figures, which are confined to manufactured tobacco prepared in plug and packages for chewingand smoking. Assuming t h a t the same proportion of the people use tobacco that use tea, it will be found t h a t the per capita consumption of this article is three and one-half pounds of tobacco against two pounds of tea. The amount of tax paid on manufactured tobacco last year was$14,835,095,asumnearly equal to the aggregate value of all the Ua during t h a t period. The figures showing the number of cigars annually consumed are equally interesting. Cigars ' upon which tax was paid last year foot up 3,^10,898,488. The avearge<length of cigars is four inches. If the cijjars upon which tax was paid last year were laid singly in a row they would extend around the earth nine times. Laid in a straight line they would extend . 221.048 miles. Distributed equally among the entire population of the Uuited States each person would receive 58 1-2 cizars. If it be assumed ^ that one-half of the people smoke the *p er captt a co ns u m pt*oit was e<juai: t o 117 cigars. ^ The consumption of cigarettes also presents interesting figures, and shows that the percentage of increase is greater in cigarettes than in cigars. Tax was paid last year on 1,310,901,- 350 cigarettes, an increase of 252,- 212,112 over the preceeding year, while the increase in cigars consumed during tho samo period was 151,995,- 855. The amount of tax collected las', year on cigars was $10,532/H04, and on cigarettes $655,509. The total amount collected during the year on cipars and tobacco through the intetnal-revenue department was $27,907,363. In addition to this amount there was collected through the custom house for duties on imported tobacco and cigars $8,311,114, Adding these twoitemsgives$36,218,- 470 as the agregate ofr the tax paid last year to the goverment for cigars and tobacco, which is equal to a tax of sixty cents per capita upon t h e entirepopxriatton. I t i s within bounds to estimate the value of the tobacco and cigars consumed at four times the amount of the tax paid. On this basis the people of the United States paid last year for these articles $181,092,380, or more than $3 for every man, woman and child in the country. The appraised value of all the coffee imported for the year ended June 30, 1886, was $42,675,000, and of the tea $15,770,827! For tax alone on our chewing and smoking there was expended over $36,000,000 and —-for — the articles ^emseh-tisr exclusive of the tax $145,000,000. These facts and figures would seem to justify the claim" that tobacco has become t o our people as great a necessity as tea and coffee. Sufficient D r i n k . From Harper's Baztir. ^ Medical authorities now declare t h a t it is of vital importance to health that the system should receive daily a sufficient: quantity of water to amount to what sailors would call a- "flushing:" t h a t is sufficient to wash away the waste. Most of the matter which should be excreted is solid, and requires a comparatively large volume of rluid to dissolve it so" t h a t it maybe cast off, an example of which may be seen in the case of uric acid, which needs several times its weight in water to dissolve, or else itcr'ystalizes in the shape of calculi, or produces other diseases.

The question raised by the case is whether or not the system of laws enforced in New York is in opposition to section 5,23.5 of the revised statutes of the United States, which requires that the taxation of shares of national banks Tshall not be* at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of'individual citizens of said state." This court answers that question in the negative and affirms the decree of the court below iu,laxor_oL .the city. — • i V i c t i m s o f O p i u m H a b i t .

The canning of tomatoes has become a great industry in this country, and the following figures from the Ameri» can Grocer will be read with interest: "The tomato pack of 1886 reaches a tolal of 2,363,760 cases of two dosen tins each, being 929,754 cases ahead of the 1885 pack, and about up to the average annual pack for the three years of 1883-85. wbich was 2.132,- 921 cases. In 1883, thesupply reached 3,000,000 cases. In 1885 the pack was less than one-half thatof 1883. and 687,171 cases below that of 1884. The shortage of those two years, and the failure to brine the supply of this year up to the maximum yield of 1884 have been productive of gocd, in that they have sent all the old packed --goods-into consumption. Two-million cases of tomatoes are its* than the annual requirements of the United States, which are placed at fully 2,50^,000 cases. The spring of 1887 will see the Block of tomato** throughout ti»« United btates lighter than" it has been at any time for six years. Packers have had this season a rising' market, something they have been" look ing forward to for—years;—The' work of the year has been profitable to all good packers. The crop was variable, being very heavy in New' Jersey, good in New York, Ohio and' Canada, but not up to expectation in Maryland or the Western States, where it was very irregular." i {^•sqinioui j* 56| osg sr^uoxn 9 joj -0()5-^5 Train ng-the Voice. The quality of the voice, which is the chief consideration in song, depends on the intrinsic mechanism of the vocal organs, viz., On the length, thickness and elasticity oi the vocal cords. - These cannot be altered or modified by practice, but ths muscles acting gn them may be better controlled and made to work in mors gerfect' unison by careful cultivation. 0 we sometimes find a singer with what is called "no voice" that is to say, the vocal cords are not in any way above the average quality (as those of all great singers must be), yet he has learned to employ them in so perfect a manner that his singing brings him success and professional reputation.—But the training of the voice for singing is much more difficult and tedious than that required to educate the speaking voice. Indeed* it in a thankless and almost hopsless task, unless the student beendow* l ed with a correct musical ear as well ! as superior larnygeal qualifications, kin sqng the voice progresses, as ft Wert, on stepping-stones bv intervals, the least of which is a serai-tone, and it the singer does not rest fairly and firmly on each note he is out of tune --London Queen.

Latest Revised Figures Places the Adverse Majority Between 3,000 land 3,800. JKapubllokiu Kleot Justice* and BegenU. Tlte latest revised figures on the amendmettt vote place the adverse majority between 8,000 and 8,800. •, LNery couuty in the state has nowlbeen heard from, most of them fully, though Manltou and, Montmorency are too Indefinite to be of service. There is scarcely a single county in the state in which ail reports concur in giving an identical figure as the exact majority either for or against the amendment. The variances are slight, and. when the official canvass is made it will be found that the changes will about offset each other. The official canvass will probably show a majority of from 5,000 to 5,400 in the lower peninsula for the amendment; of from. 8,400 to 8,800 against it in the upper peninsula, and the extreme range in the state 1» from 3,000 to 3,800 against the amendment. The returns on the state ticket show that the republican candidates for supreme judges and regeuts'have carried the state by from 5,000 to 8,000 plurairty. Campbell ran behind Long In some places, while the latter ran almost uniformly ahead of his ticket throughout the state. The next supreme bench will be made up of Judges Thomas B. Sherwood, John W. Champlin, Allen B. Morse, James V. Campbell and Charles D. Long—three fusion and two republican. It will be the first time that the bench has had five judges. The fifth judge; authorized under the recently passed law, is calculated to overcome the difficulty heretofore experienced of having the court OVenty divided on important questions. Under the. new law the terms of judges herejiftgr elected are for 10 years. The salary is 84,000, the legislature having but recently defeated the bill to increase the salaries to §7,000. The constitutional amendment relative to increasing the salaries of state officers Is carried by a liberal majority. According to this the salary of the governor will be raised from Si.000 to S5,000; that of the treasurer and the superintendent of the public instruction from SI,000 to S2,- 600 each; that of the secretary of state and the commissioner of the land office from $800 to $2,500 each; and that of the attorney-general from $800 to S3,000. The law further provides that none of the Officers shallreceive any fees or perquisites * for the performance of the duties of their respective offices. M i c h i g a n B a l l P l a y e r s .

A M i c i i l g a n X a w U p s e t s The United States supreme court has rendered a decision in the case of James C. Fargo, President, etc., vs. William C. Stevens, Auditor-General of the state of Michigan. In error to the supreme court Of Michigan. The question presented by this case is the constitutionality of-an act of the Michigan legislature passed June 5, 1883, entitled "An act to provide for the taxation of persons, co-partnerships, associations, car-loaning companies and fast freight lines engaged" in , the business of running cars over any of the railroads of this state and not being exclusirely the property of any railroad company paying taxes on their gross receipts." The state of Michigan, by virtue of this law, endeavored to collect a tax from an express company running cars Into and out of that state with express matter and fast freight, but not owning any property within the jurisdiction of the state. This court holds that the act of the Michigan legislature referred to is unconstitutional, inasmuch as It is a regulation of commerce among the states, the power to make which is withheld from the states, The decree of the supreme court of Michigan is reversed with costs and the cause remanded for further proceedings in conformity with the opinion of this court Oplnioa by Justice Miller. _ W h i a k e y » a W o r k . George Crabtree, a farmer who resides about eight miles northwest of Howard Oitjr, was killed by Un cars on the 3d u l t TTf T—-4- •fm imfpm '»*»«'• mm He had been in town for two or three days on a spree, and' started up* the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad track In an intoxicated condition. When about a mile north of town he sat dowu upon the.track, where he was last seen by a country woman. It is thought that in attempting to get up he staggered across the rail, where he was seen a couple of hours after by the engineer of a south bound freight, but not until it was too late to stop the traln^which was coming down grade. The man's head was crushed to an unrecognizable mass, the left arm cut entirely off, and the body severed about the hips and particles of flesh and clothing were scattered along the track. Crabtree is said to have purchased three bottles of whisky and a revolver, and when the body was picked up a broken bottle which had contained liquor and a revolver with all the chambers loaded were found in his clothes. The deceased leaves a wife and three small children. D r . P i l c h e r D e a d . The Rev. Dr. Elijah II. .Pilcher died In Brooklyn, N. Y., on the 8th inst. In 1883 he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. He left a wife and five children. One son Is a missionary to China aijd another an army surgeon. Dr. Pilcher was born in Athens 0., in 1810. In 1830 he entered the Methodist ministry, and for fifty years served as an itinerant pastor in Michigan. He was widely known in the state, having filled various positions in the itinerancy. He was presiding elder of the Detroit district conference at one time, and filled the same position in other districts. The Methodist church of Michigan owes much to Dr. Pilcher's energy and zeal in its behalf during his long and useful life,a work. He was the author of "A History of Michigan Methodism," a work of much value and completeness. — » • Mysterious Disappearances. A correspondent of a Detroit paper, writing from White River says: Nothing has yet been heard of Devero Ivins, a young resident of this place who mysteriously disappeared nearly five weeks ago. At the instance of his relatives the rivers have been dredged, the country scoured, and advertisements inserted in local papers, all without result. At times he was partially demented owing to an attack of typhoid fever. A remarkable coincidence is that five years ago one of his cousins of exactly the same age disappeared from the same place, and that from that day to this not a word lias been heard from him or a clue found. Both' were great students of literature, and philosophers are endeaving to find some connection between the two disapaperances.

Kogers, a wealthy citizen of Sonoma, Cal., has been identified as William Kissane, a noted criminal. Some interesting chapters in the remarkably romantic career of Kissane, are taken from the Cleveland Leader. One of these is that he and several associates purchased the steamboat Martha Washington in 1851, loaded her with a cargo supposed to be nn*diy)f boots, shoes, leather, etc., for NewOrleans. insured the whole for a large amount ami then set fire to—the—boat Everything wiw lost and 16 poople were drowned or burned to death. The "valuable cargo," which had been insured for $125,000, was found afterwards to be made up of sticks ami stones, refuse matter, etc., which had been so carefully boxed up that detection was impossible. Sidney Burton, then a well-known citizen of Cleveland, had had some dealings with Kissane and the latter owed him a large sum. By some means he got an inkling of the conspiracy to burn the steamer, and he instituted suit against Kissane and his fellow conspirators in the United States court A long and exciting trial took place at Columbus. -Though t h e evidence was strong against the gang, through an unfortunate miscarriage of justice the gang escaped conviction. They then separated and Kissane went south. In Arkansas he was Indicted for murder In connection- with the lives lost in the Martha Washington, but escaped. Burton spent his fortune of $50,000 in attempting to convict Kissane and his crowd and then died 1885, It is generally supposed that he fell a victim to a poisoning plot by some of Kissane's friends, who succeeded in injecting some subtle poison into his food. Kissane's career in Nicaraguais recalled by an old sailor wlio was with William -. Walker's army of filibusters in 1856. Kissane, then about 25 or 30 years of age, was an active and trusted advlserof Walker, being his ^secretary of the treasury,.' He was recognized ;vs one of the smartesitiW men with whom the filibuster was sur- * rounded. One of Kissane's methods o f ' .. raising a revenue was to capture the .wives-, Aand daughters of prominent Nicaraguans and hold them for a high-ransom. Many women complained of brutal treatment at his hands. When Walker was finally captured Kissane was released at San Francisco. He went to southern California where he accumulated a large fortune and lived in fine style. ' ( ' There is no longer any doubt that W i Kissane and Col. Wra. K. Rogers, the wealthy citizen of Sonoma, are one and the same person.

And she went away from him lighter of heart and brighter of face than ahe had been for some tune; it would make the "Powers quite a different place, having some one young and cheerful there. She found herself singing as she took up her fancy work, then smiling and blushing aa she remembered how he had looked at her. Lord Stair was' dark, tall, and stately; this stranger was fair and gallant. "I think," said Marguerite to herself, that morning, "I like fair men best— they look so good-tempered and bright." 44. CHAPTER X. n i B FAIRK8T I'LOWKKS OP LIFB,' Lady Perth raised her head from the book on whicli-she was engaged, and looked aero ^8 the room. It was a pleasant sight that met her eyes—would have been at least, to any one else, but it was not so to her. Two beautiful, fair young heads were bent together over a book of photographB. Captain Este was explaining, and Lady Stair was listening. Every now and then came a sound of delicious laughter—a silvery ripple that angered Lady Perth, she hardly knew why. The morning sun shpne full and warm into the room, the large French windows were wide open, roses and mignonette climed near them, and the lovely odor of white lilies came floating in. Outside there was a ripple of green leaves, the white acacias were all in bloom, the birds were singing—the very joy and brightness of the summer seemed to come floating in w i t h the sunbeams, and to become part of themselves. Lady Stair looked as bright as the June day itself; the sun-rays touched her golden hair and flower-like face, her_ dress of pale blue and the white roses that adorned it, white roses that lay in the coils of her golden hair and nestled against the white graceful throat. Her face was full of animation. She looked with bright wondering eyes at Captain Este; he was telling her some of his experiences of life at Malta; and Lady Perth, watching them, was struck by the vivid brightness of the ^WPA^, g-jrj. ish face; she had never seen such an expression on it before—Lady Stair generally looked languid and tired, if not that, restless as though she missed something; but now. talking to the bright, handsome young soldier, the girl's BOUI seemed all awake and shining in her eyes—that wonderful, artistic soul, with its capability for great virtues and strong passions, which she had inherited from the father who was all genius. Lady Perth frowned and wondered as she looked. She could not interfere; they were doing no harm, sitting there _ip all the glory of the -J-une-aunlighV . i M S i n g each other. Vet the beauti- MJsi picture was gall and wormwood to Laijr Perth; she could not help hearfeag all that passed, and the conversation of two children at, play could not have been more innocent. "Every country has its own peculiar charm," Captain Este was saying;"Itaiy its music, France its brightness, and Spain its romance." "And England?" she interrupted. "You will think I am prejudiced^' he replied, " bat it seems to me that England has every charm. Have you lived in any other country?" "No—not lived ^ I Jbcam traveledw i t h Lord Stair, but I did not know any other life than English life," She was silent for a few minutes. then she addad: "I talk about life, but know very little of it. The first years of, my life I thought the world all music; I knew and loved nothing else." "And now?" he asked, curiously. "Now it's a mixture," she replied, "A happy one, I hope," said Captain .ate. Lady Stair made nd reply. She her own heart if it were a happy except Sunbeam, what source of had ahe?

'"Lady Stair," continued the young soldier, "will you walk as far as Herons' Pool? I want to show the oak-trees there. When I was quite a little boy we used to take tea in the hollow trunk of the large one." " 1.should think it much too warm for walking," said Lady Perth, sharply, "It is under the shade of the great trees, the whole distance Lady Perth,'y said the young soldier, carelessly wssjsjb "I love the sunlight," said Lady 3 p Q "People aught to live out-of-doors this beautiful weather," said Captain Este. "I will take very good care people do not." thought Lady Perth to herself, She saw the pleasure these two young and beautiful beings took in each other's society, and she resolved that they should not spend so much time together. She watched them with a darkening face as they walked away together, talking and laughing with all the'joyous happy abandon of youth. "What a relief," cried Captain Este, as they crossed the green bower. "Now vi e can say what we choose. How I dislike tb^at womanl I have always had such a curious idea over her." "Have you? What is it?" asked Lady Stair, quite unconscious that her fate was in some measure twined w i t h his. "I can hardly describe it, but I have always had the sensation that she would at some time or other $lo me some grevious injury. At times I forget the feeling, or presentiment, or foreboding, or whatever it is; I forget it for months together. Then it comes back to me with redoubled foree. I wonder if there is anything in it?" "What could she do to you?" asked Lady Stair. She gathered the pink and white roses from the hedges as they passed, and ever afterward the scent of wildroses and his answer were together in her mind. "I do not know, I can imagine no way in which she can harm me, unless it is by making Lord Stair dislike me." She would never do that," cried Marguerite, hastily. "Lord Stair is cold and quiet, but he is always just." "Do you And him cold and asked Captain Este, looking lovely, flushed face. "I spoke without thinking." plied. But the young soldier did not forget the words. Surely there never was a spot on earth so fair aS this Herons' Pool! They had both good reason to remember it. A pool of clear, deep water—so deep thrft when the wind rippled the surface the clear depths were not moved. Just the beautiful, solitary spot the heron and the kingfisher both love—silent, with strange flashes of light on its breast—silent,, with strange -gleams of sunshine coming through the great bows of the trees; fringed with blue forget-me-nots, and thejneadow-sweet which grew d o w n t o the water's edge. "Relics of childhood," cried Captain Este, as he captured two invalid old stools and made them steady in the long tfreen grass. "These are the very seats I brought here ten years ago. Sit down Lady Stair. Watching this clear da.rkl|ng pool always had a great attraction for me." They sat side by aider—the lovely quiet?" at the she re- I should see her face shining amongst them." "Poor child," he said, dreamily, and the white dasies fell from his hand as he took hers. "I had strange fancies," she continued. "I always thought. that picture of the Madonna,- which has been in the old church of Inlsfall for inndreds of years, was the picture of my mother, and from that, when ever I dream of my mother, I see her with a light brighter than the stars stiining round her head." "Poor child!" he said again, and this time he bent his handsome head and kissed the white hand he held. She was too innocent and too inexperienced even to blush over it. She opened her hand suddenly, and held it out before him. "Do you see anything peculiar in my hand?" she asked. "No, except that it is perfect in shape and color," he replied, "and I may be forgiven if I add, that it is the most beautiful hand I have ever seen, and I am a good judge." "But do you see anything peculiar in the lines?" she asked eagerly. "No; your hand looks like any other hand. Let me see." He took the hand, so white, cool, and slender in his own, and pretended to look with great eagerness in the pretty pink palm, She bent her head with his, tracing with one white finger the lines that crossed it, telling him what the old nurse had said. He listened Attsntji VGIV "I do not believe it. Lady Stair," he said. "Your fate is bright enough. You are the honored wife of a brave and good man. What can happen to you?—how can your lot be a strange one? I do not believe it." "Nor do I," she said, softly. Then he gathered some meadow-sweet and white, starry dasies. "Your life will be as white and bright as the flowers you take your name from. I wish, with all my heart, that I might call you Marguerite," "Why may you not?" she asked. "Lady Perth would say it was not etiquette," he answered; .but in his heart he called her Marguerite ever afterward. TO BE CONTINUED. warm summer around them—the green bougL3 throwing a gaateful shade over them—the wind stirring the clear water— the blue forget-me-nots rejoicing in the sunshine—the meadow-sweet growing at their feet. White Btar-like dasies studded the grass, the glamour of summer, with its fragrance and its song, was on them, and it is much like the glamour of love. Captain Este told her the legend of the great tree; then quite suddenly he changed hie theme. "Your eyes are not all the same blue as these forget-me-nots," be said. "Blue is my favorite color. I observe that you always wear_biufi_dresses." "It is my favorite color," she said: "We had but one picture in our old church at Inisfail; it was a Madonna, copied, so rumor said, from one of Fra Angelica's, a young Madonna, with a beautiful fair face, so pure and sweet, yet with a shade of sadness in the eyes as though she saw everywhere the shadow of the Cross; there is a halo of light round the golden hair, and the Madonna wears a blue dress. It was certainly from that picture I took my ideas of drees." "You would make a beautiful Madonna," he said, gathering a group of -white starlight- dasies, and -holding them before her. She shook her head gravely. "No I have not a Madonna's face; mine is to restless. I feel always like a person who is waiting or watching for something which never comes. There is a want in my life and I do not know what it is." He knew, but he did not tell her. "The Madonna's face is profoundly sweet and profoundly sad," she continued: "mine is not so." , He thought to himself that she little knew how profoundly beautiful it was. "Now I know what your eyes are like," he cried. "Not the blue forgetme- nots, but the purple violets—a rare color, Lady Stair." "Is it?" she a9ked, curiously. Her thoughts had gone back to the old church and the years that had been tilled with music. "My mother died," she said to him "When I-was two weeks old. I used to ask my father where she was. It was not often that a human voice seemed to reach him, or that any human interest attracted him, but when leaked that question he would stop and look at me, then tell me that one June night, when the roses and the lilies were sighing their sweetest and there was an uprising of the summer wind, my mother went up through the start to the golden Paradise that lies b e r o o d r and I , when I was a child, used to watch those stars every night, thinking Mr. Dander's Orphans.

This continues until the goat is torn to pieces and the man who has obtained the largest' portion wins the game. The game is played for a certain stated time, and the one has the goat at the moment time is called is the winner. The way the men playing use 4heir—wbipa-on each other awLou their own and their adversaries' horses is a caution. The game, as usually played, must be a very cruel one, as the goat is seized while alive, but at Shad Ian the poor beast was killed beforehand— a much more merciful proceeding. The man who carries the goat has a bad time of it, and it is not an easy matter to hold it on the saddle by putting the hind legs under one thigh and going off at a gallop with the carcass banging the flanks of his horse."—Frank Leslies- Newspaper. -ow»i><< ii <'' »fl n iifrj Puck: An Lrish setter—a walking delegate.

Crowley, ot Pinckney, filed a request at the Probate Office to have three ot her children—Robert, Alice and David—sent to the Coldwater school. They are aged tour six and eight years, and were taken hence by Supt, of Poor, A. J. Wickman, on Thursday morning last. The separation of mother and children was a piteous scene that would try the most calloused heart. The family formerly lived at this place, and during their residence here, some si* months since, while Mrs, Crowley was absent from home, the hu?band . disposed of the household effects and cleared out, since which time-be has noi been beard of. He left the poor, penniless wife with four helpless children to look after. The mother had struggled hard to care for her little flock, but was unable to do so, which necessitated the separation ot three of them, leaving with [her only a two-year-old. When the hour of separation came the children, clung to their mother, piteously begging not to be sent away, while the poor, gnet-stricken woman cried as if her heart, would break.

It is a weil established principle that the peoole, not its facilities for business, make the place. It is true tba£^/~ an energetic, prosperous people may be kept back by the lack of natural advantages, but thif is not always the case. A thousand towns are kept in check by t'h•* greed and lack ot public spirit of the peopJ^.w^re^ne_is_kej»f down by tin location. Push and energy overcome all obstacles; greed and want of energy will kill the most prom* ising locality. So the village is to be just what the pitizens make it.

The house committee on railroads reported adversely the bill to ''prohibit the use of stoves in passenger cars," but the bill was ordered printed just the same. The legislature has honored Speaker Marlfey Dy naming a new township in Koscommon county after the youngest and yet one of the most able, pushing and popular t pea kerb the state haa ever bad. Both bouses have passed a bill to amend tbe bill relative to the publication and distribution of the Legislative Manual so as to take -HM o. tbe ',00 now placed on sale by the secretary of state and allow them to be distributed by the legislature. They also amended the resolution for 1,500 additional cupie-i so as to place them also in the hands of the legislature. The members will therefore have 2,200 copies more than usuul at thuir disposal, and can thus satisfy the request of so many more constituents for a copy of a very valuable book. The bill requiring each county to build at tbe county seat a jail, with separate wards for men, for boys and for women and for girls, so that there shall be no communication by talk, sight or otherwise between the occupants of tbe different wards, preventing all conversation and communication between the different clashes of prisoners, was considered in the house the other day. The committee of the whole struck out by a vote of two to one a provision reading: "But no jail shall be built until the plan thereof, particularly that Eart wherein prisoners; are confined) shall ave first been submitted to the state board of corrections, and charities for its suggestions and criticisms." This is taken as an indication that the bill to abolish the state board of corrections and charities will meet with more favor in the house than has been expected. The house has killed the bill tor the consolidation of Oscoda andy&u Sable. The bill to extend the limits of Marine City has been passed over the governor's veto. The governor has signed the bill ceding to the United States jurisdiction over the site for an Indian school at LTAnse.

The committees on railroads of the two bouses held it joint meeting the other morning, at which a large number of prominent railroad onicials were present. The main bill under consideration was one to reduce railroad fare to two cents per mile. Addresses were mnde against the bill by -M*s**g,^Uhley Pond, T.- J. O'Brien, Wm. L. Webber and H. C. Potter. Without expressing any opinion on the case, the committees took tip a hill to regulate misunderstandings that have arisen between officials of the D. L. & N. railroad and the citizens of Ionia relative to side tracks, crossings, etc., in that city. Just what will be tbe final fate of the two-cent-permile bill cannot now be predicted. The committees on public school and state affairs have reported against the adaption- of the—hou&e-4^«olutio&—for %b« appointment of a special committee of one senator and two representatives to investigate the charges relative to immorality, cruelty, etc., against officers and teachers at the state public school at.Coldwater. The question of the adoption of the report of the committees called out one of the most spirited debates of the session. The report of the committee was adopted, and the resolution for a special committee thereby was lost The senate has passed the foU,owing bills in addition to those otherwise noted: to Srovide for core and maiatcqaooe of iaigent insane person* in private asylum*; to amend act relative to organizing asylums for insane: to protect electors who cannot read English, from Irifctd and deception at tbe polls; to provide fo» the appoiBtuient'of »n assistant deputy auditor general; to amend ac« relative to supreme court and practice therein: to make possession of game or fish out of season ifima facie evidence of violation of the law protecting same; requiring deposit by secretary of state of ail corporate organisations relative to railroads in offloe of commissioner of rjiilretdr appropriating $4,4l(J for repairs to asylum for insane criminals; for incorporation of lodges of A.

A strong array of eminent railroad counsel was present and assisted in 'he work, and after being thoroughly uis cussed the bill was relegated to it** place in the pigeon-hole to await another day when these stars from the legal firmament shall have nothing else to do, when the same programme will be repeated. The bouse has passed the bill of Mr. Chapman, providing that all railroad com- Santes receiving or transporting grain in ulk should deliver to the consignee the same weighed and billed at the shipping point. All bills of lading receipts, or contracts releasing rarrrtfsd companies from responsibility or liability to deliver the same amount by weight as they receive from the consignor or shipper, aredeelarod to be void.

As amended by the senate and conourred in by the house, the bill "to make possession of game or fish out of season prima facie evidence of the violation of the laws protecting the same," reads: SBOTION 1. The people of tho state of Michigan enact, That in all prosecutions for the violation of any of the laws for the protection nnd preservation of game or fish, proof of the possession of such game or flsb, or of tbe skin or carcass, or any portion of the skin or carcass of such game or fi*h at any time when the kilting, taking or having in possession any of such game or fish is by law prohibited, shall be {>rinia facie evidence of a violation of the aw by the person or persons in whose possession the same shall have been found. The bill of Harry Watson of Montcalm, providing that in all school, town, city and other municipal elections, women shall be allowed to vote for all school, town, city and other muuioipal ottlcers, nnd on all questions pertaining to school, town, city and municipal regulations precisely as do male citizens, caused quite a ripple in the house the other afternoon. After an animated debate, in which both sides contested strongly for their respective views, a vote was taken and all after the enacting clause was stricken out by a vote of 41 to S3. A large and earnest audience listened to the discussion of the measure, and the ladies present seemed greatly disappointed at the killing of the bill. T h e C a n a d i a n P a r l i a m e n t .

TheProcaw «f Maaafacture Kindt. of the Differtat Philadelphia Press. C. Hanford Henderson, professor ol chemistry and physics in the Industrial Training School, lectured at Franklm Institute recently on "Glass Making." After briefly retailing the history of the art of making glass, and what glass was, Mr. Henderson said: "The operation of glass-making requires both skill and patience; nicety in the mixture of the materials and delicacy and dexterity in the manufacture of the^niahed product. There is n o industry s o benefitted by the discovery of natural gas as this. Euro* pean manufacturers have long used artificial gas, it having been found that smoke and sulphurous fumestrora the coal affected the clearness of the product. Where, in this country, natural gas is n o t obtainedable, manufactured gas is taking the place ol coal in the principal turnaces. in the furnace huge pots of fire-clay, with a capacity of 1,400 t o 1,000 pounds of material, are filled with the mixed substances called the 'batch,' composed of sarld, lime and carbonate or sulphate of soda in varying proportions. Into a chamber beneath them the burninggas streams. Above each pot is an opening into the chamber in which it stands, through which the blowpipe is dipped into its con tents. The blowpipe is a heavy tub* of wrought iron, its lower end nome what flanged. In making the window-glass, the o p erator repeatedly dips his pipe into the molten glass, until on its end is a mass of fused glass. Whirling this rapidly and dexterously it assumes a pear-lika shape. The operator blows into the pips, moulding the huge bubble a s it grows t o th« size and shape of a carboy. The blowing now ceases, and the operator swings his bubble in a pit beneath his platform, until by its weight it lengthens into a cylinder and cools t o hardness. The t o p and bottom of this cylinder are ingeniously got rid of, and a cold iron is run along one sidf the remaining cylinder,, making a straight crack through itsentirelength. It is then put into an oven,/crack uppermost, as it is heated it falls o u t into a fiat plate and is "ironed smooth" by a fiat piece of wood on the end ol a long bar. Lastly, i% is put into th« annealing furnace$4ieated and allowed to cool very gradually, t o toughen the glass. It may then be cut up intc panes. Crovvh glass is made by gathering the mass in the end of the "pipe, blowing a small bubble and transfer^ ring it t o an iron bar. The opening left by the blowpipe is gradually enlarged as the mass is whirled until th« mass becomes a circular flat disk. Its disadvantages are its variable thickness and the smallness of the panes.

The remains of President and Mrs. Lincoln . were privately taken from their secret resting place on the morning of the 14th, and interred in the north vault of the Lincoln monument in Oak Ridge cemetery, near Springfield, 111... Less than a dozen persons, members of the^ Lincoln monument association and LincolnQuard of Honor were present. For years the whereabouts of the remains of the great president and his wife have been visited in mystery in anxiety that they would bo stolen to obtain a huge ranson fnr their return. The actual attempt to carry otT the bodies in 1876 was the'moving cause of the formation of the Guard of Honor, 'which organization secreted them, and surrendered the charge on the 14th. (ireat care was taken to keep the event a profound secret. At the appointed hour few besides the little knpV of guards were present. The secret gave was directly . under - the north bas»> of the obelisk, about thirty feet from the north entrance, but only accessible through the south door. A door on the north of the hoie^wheru-theJLiucoln relicaj .Blate.glass is of the__aam_e„ composi are kept, leading through a long passage, first east, then north, then west and then south to a recess. Here, about three feet below the surface of the floor, were deposited the remains of Abraham Lincoln »nnd his wife. The body of Mr. Lincoln was in a walnut coffin lined with an air tight lead lining about one-eight of an inch thick. The walnut cottin was in a cedar box, and the cedar box was inclosed in « pine box. Mrs. Lincoln's remains were similarly inclosed. Twenty-two years ago Lincoln was shot. When the guards, with the help of a few laborers, had exhumed thei coffin and the president's was removed, his face was seen to be in a'remarkable state of preservation. Those who stood around, and had known Lincoln when alive, easily discerned the features. They were very distinct. The stiver plate on the coffin lid was bright On it was inscribed the following: Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President United States. Born February 1'-, 1809. - Ijied April 15, is«f>. Whill e thenre'n^fiToT'TlTrT'l^ireoTn were 1 t exposed to view, t(icn^_Keese, president of the guard of honor, turned the remains of Mr. Lincoln over to theTAncoln mouument association,—A certificate was signed by the members of the guards o f honor certifying that the remains in the coffin,, were those received from the Lincoln monument association in 1878. The monument association made out a certificate signed by the members for the records of the association, declaring the remains to be those of Abraham Lincoln. The undertaker was then directed to seal the coffin, and Leon Hopkins, a. pluml>er, seated it up. The coftin was then taken out by the workmen and carried around to the vault on. the north side. The members of the two associations and a stranger or two who happened to be looking at the monument followed. In the north vault the. floor had been taken up, A hole eight feet long by six feet wide and five and one-haH^leep, bricked up and cemented, had been prepared. The President's coffin had been placed in this grave on the west side. The coffin containing Mrs. Lincoln's remains, which had been brought from the secret grave before the other coffin was carried around, was then brought to the vault and placed on the east side of her husband. A brick arch was thtn built o\er the coffins. This was covered with hydraulic cement, mixed with small broken rock. Two guards will be on duty at the tomb until the cement becomes hard. The marbls sarcophagus. In which the public have supposed the remains to be, is still in the vault Without further ceremony the remains of husband and wife were lefl la sukUr together in the grave. tion as the former, but purer materials are used. It is cast on an iron oi bronze table from a huge ladle swung from" the furnace t o the table. Rollers pass over it t o secure uniform thickness. The result is a roqghslab, only transclucent. It is made smooth with sand and emery, and polished with burnt sulphate of iron. In making the 'batch' for optical glass lead is used instead of lime. This branch of the art reaches its highest perfection in America, and all the important tenses for telescopes are made on this side of the Atlanlic. Auother flat glass is seen in the car windows, the design being pressed into the heated pane, and the marks subsequently polished. Mosaic glass is translucent, colored unevenly by arsenic, tin and other compounds, and is coming into use in preference t o stained glass, its durability and richness of shading being superior t o the latter. It is cast in small pieces, the opera jtf-TTOtrkl rexaetly-hew the product will look, and the artist consequently can n o t have his piece* made to order.

Mr\ "Viur.lv then made in miniature, from">lass tubes, some of the articles.

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another frtftn heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, snother with pain here or there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoma caused by some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering eatJent gets no better, Dut probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, ke Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort Instead of prolonged misery.

Last Tbursd«iy afternoon Ambrose J. Black, a respectable farmer of this township, bade bis wife good bye, tytl* sed his four little tattling children, and started away to visit his brother Geo. Black who liyes in Burns township. He went out into the road, aud passed o u t ot sight behind the barn. That was the last seen of him alive. He was not expected t o . return until Friday and hence jio uueasiuess was caused by his absence. Friday passwl.. aud he did not return; Saturday came, and his absence created 'considerable uneasine>s. Saturday night his brother George came down to see him on business and upon being told that be b a d l e l t o n t h e Tbur day previous to visit him, became thoroughly ar< ti>- ed. Still they thought he woul'd return. Sunday passed. Monday came. Mrs. Black was in the barn shortly a'U'i' d i n n r hunting foi egys. She climbed the ladder leading to the hav mow and looked o\ er.' A most horrible sight met ht'T eyes. There bei husUind lay upon Irs hands and knees, Ins-fax*;-*fow-B-wtH-4y bis headreovexed; with bay, iiis hamL 'clenched and his FEATUR i s BLACK AVll DISTOKTKD.

The reduction of internal levenue and the taking oflf of revenue stamp.- from Proprietary Medii'ines, no doubt has largely benefited the customers, as well 'as relieving the burden of home manufactures. Especially is the case with Green's August Flower Mid Hoseuee's German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size ot the bottles containing these remedies thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75c. size. The Augus, Flower tor Dyspepsia a n d Liver Complaint, and t h e German Syrup tor Cough and L u n g troubles, have perhaps thelargest sale of any medicine in t h e world. T h e advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries.

Six hundred ahfl sixty-four of these returns are from 48» townships In the southern four tiers of counties; and 183 reports are from 108 townships in the central counties. Correspondents very generally agree that It is yet too early to actually report upon the condition of wheat The weath1 ex ^during March was extremely unfavorable, and warrants the expectation that the crop has suffered severely. The fields! loot "bare and brown.'* Correspondents arc yet hopeful, however, that the root is not seriously injured. As usual wheat on clay and jundrained lands and high knolls, has suffered most The weather since Aprii 1 has been warmer, but it is yet so dry that the plant has mad* little if any growth. Reports have been received of the quantity of wheat marketed by farmers during the mpnth of March at 218 elevators and mills. Of these 181 are in the southern four tiers of counties, which is 42 per cent, and 29 are in the fifth and sixth tiers of counties, which is 31 per cent, of the whole number in these sections respectively. The total number of bushels reported marketed is 808,454, of which 275,420 bushels were marketed in the first. or southern tier of counties; 317,209 bushels in the second tier, 107,210 bushels in the third tier, 168,808 bushels in the fourth tier, 37,757 bushels in the fifth and sixth tiers and 2,350 bushels in the northern counties. At 31 elevators and mills, or 17 per cent, of the whole number from which reports have been received, there was no wheat marketed during the month. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in August, September, October, November, December, January, February and March, is 10,788,001, or about 41 per cent of the crop of 1886. The number of bushels reported marketed in 1885 and 1888 was 19,024,524 or 39 per cent, of the crop of 1885. For these months in 1885-6 reports were received from about 45 per cent and in 1886-7 from about 51 per eent. of the elevators and mills In the southern four tiers of counties. over 12,000 acres- Iu 1836 he purchased the farm In Portland, where he has since resided. In 1859 he was elected supervisor and held the office, five successive terms. Death of Chas. H. Palmer. Chas. H. Palmer died at his residence in Pontiac the other morning, aged 78 years, of ikidney difficulty. He was one of the first regents of the university, and in early life was a prominent teacher in different cities of Michigan. He married an educated lady and moved to the upper peninsula, where he engaged quite extensively in Iron and copper mining. He purchased some land adjoining the Calumet & Hecla mine which proved valuable for mining purposes and led to a great deal of litigation, which was finally brought to a close in the United States supreme court about a year ago. The supreme court decided in favor of Mr. Palmer, and he was granted one-third of the property in dispute. His share amounted to $450,000 and was to be paid to him some time next month. It was Chiefly through Mr. Palmer'* influence that the eastern insane asylum was located at Pontiac, and for some time he was a trustee of this asylum. Mr. Palmer was liberal minded, public spirited and a gentleman of ripe intelligence. He leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters. He was one of the most prominent men in the upper peninsula and welt and favorably known throughout the state. He leaves an estate estimated at over S500.000. The Railroad Boycott. The Michigan Central and the Lake Shore have joined the boycott against the western roads and will not sell through tickets to the west The Baltimore & Ohio and Grand Trunk are now the only seaboard lines which have not joined this movement against western roads. Neither side show a disposition to yiald. S T A T E I T E M S . F o s t e r ' s * A l l R i g h t . The charges preferred against John W. Foster, superintendent of the state public school at Coidwater are substantially as follows: 1. Improper conduct with lady employes. 2. Severe punishment of children. 3. The use of improper language to children and employes. 4. Deceit. 5. Tampering with the mail of employes. The board of control was called together and proceeded to 'investigate' the charges. As a result of their investigation they find that the charges are not sustained, and fully exonerate the superintendent, but say that his visits after hours to the cottages were injudicious. Foster has tendered his resignation,, to take effect as soon as his successor shall have been appointed. In the meantime Foster is nominally in charge. There will be other vacancies in the near future, as a general cleaning out of inharmonious elements is promised by the board. There fs a general feeling that the alleged "vindication'f is a grossly 4 t ^hiteyaahpri" affair, and that a legislative examinatiou is imperatively needed. * — — _..j.

Usa Foresten, a Japanese merchant of high standing in Lansing, furnishes a new chapter of romance concerning Kissane, the millionaire, filibustered murderer,., and forger, recently discovered in Sonoma, Cal., where he has lived for many years under the name of Rogers. Up to the present there was no clue to the whereabouts of Kissane fronvjthe time he was in Nicaragua to his appearance In California. Mr. Foresten supplies the hiatus. During the Chinese rebellion in 1857, Foresten was captured by a detachment of the rebels and taken to Shangai with other Japanese prisoners. Here the rebels were overcome by the Chinese troops under the command of an American, who was none other than Kissane. He had secured the favor of the Emperor through his shrewdness, and was raised to the rank of general of the army. The young Jap who tells toe story, and is now living in Lansing, was made Kissane's body servant. Usa and Kissane finally went to Europe, where Kissane visited the leading art centers. Bert Wilcox, aged forty years, and residing near Lake view, Mon teal m county, was employed by Kyerson & Hill in breaking rollways on Tamarac creek with dynamite. He had capped a few cartridges which were lying around loose, when by some means the fuse got lighted and they commenced to explode. The first one that went off shattered Wlleox's l e g j a f t w o places, but by a great effort he/crept away a short distance before the box exploded, which contained about forty pounds and was placed against some logs, oj he would have been blown to atoms, ,As Itvjs he is filled with nails and splinters, and his recovery is doubtful. The logs were smashed into kindling wood, and all the ihouses within the a radius of a mile were shaken. The property of the Newaygo manufacturing company at Newaygo, in which D. H. Clay is the principal stockholder, has been seized by the United States marshal under a $10,000 execution in fayor of a New York bank. The shutting down of,the mills throws 150 hands out of employment,.and the company's store being closed ami ..most of the employes having no means, their condition is the most serious. Th« company has been seriously embarrassed for some time. Mrs. A. S. Fuller of Grand Rapids, a member of the board of control of the industrial home for girls in Adrian, broke her thigh through a defective platform at the Lake Shore depot in Adrian. She sued the company for 810,000, retaining Bean & Lane as her lawyers. The suit was compromised for $7,000, but she refused to pay, her lawyers their fee of $350. They sued for the amount, and the jury gave a verdict of 8275 against Mrs. Fuller. Miss Burbank, who resides in Cooper township, Kalamazoo county, has instituted suit against the Michigan Southern railroad for $20,000. She alleges that Sept. 29, 1886, while en route from Ann Arbor to her home she took a train in Kalamazoo for Argenta. In getting off the train at <he latter place she sustained injuries through the negligence of the company's employes, for which she claims the above damages. While driving along an outer street road leading to Ouannicassee Mrs. Margaret Marvis and s8n William, a young man 28 years old with one leg, were drowned in a ditch or canal created by dredging, which has formed an embankment fifteen or twenty feet high. The horses, being blind, strayed from the road, precipitating the occupants into the ditch, which contained aboiiislxfeet of water. The "bodieswere recovered. In boring for a flowing well on his farm west of Union City, Chas. Hofmeister, at a depth of 100 feet, struck a vein of coal which is over seven feet thick and gives every indication of extending a considerable distance through that section. The coal brought to the surface is pronovinced as first-class, and it would seem that there was sufficient of it to warrant mining the same. News has just reached Coidwater that 1'hilo Crippen, formerly of that place, but later of Jackson, died near Montgomery, Ala., a few days ago, from the effects of a revolver shot fired- by a Negro who was working under him with a railroad construction gang?*' A large number of relatives of the deceased reside in Coidwater and vicinity. Smith Sanford of Grand Rapids, has been arrested charged with most inhuman treatment of a female inmate of his den of infany, the girl being confined to her room on a bed of straw with only a banket to cover her for two weeks until she is reduced to ^a mere skeleton. Sanford's chances for just punishment at last are first-class. Leonard D'Goge, who has been for the past thirty years closely .identified with the growth of Grand Rapids and its business interests, died on the 12th inst, after a long and painful illness, at the ripe old age of 71 years. He was born in the Province of Zealand, Netherland, in 1810, and came to America in 1847. Frank MrFrjgg~nf~L:msliig has returned from his trip to Africa, whither he went to learn the fate of Col. Blood, erstwhile Vic. WoodhuIPs husband and Fogg's business time. The neoct evening in a store there he ate two pounds of sugar, one-half pound of crackers and fifteen qggs, and that was just after he had eaten his supper. O. F. Smith of Jooesvllle says the new inter-state commerce law will close up his stone business. He has some 93,000 worth of stone piled up in different places which will not sell for enough in the cities to pay the new freight rates. The case of the People vs. Dr. Dav Is of Battle Creek, charged with committing an abortion on Kittle Sauter, Marshall, deceased, fell through for lack of evidence on the part of the prosecution, hence the doctor was discharged. A young girl 17 years of age. was brutally outraged while walking on the railroad track .toward Imlay City, which place she says is her home. She gave her name as Teter. Joe Daly, her assailant, was captured and jailed. An advertisement has been inserted in the Detroit papers asking for the name of every person in that city who voted for the amendment. This is done with a view to unearthing some of the frauds of election day. v The Buena Vista iron mining company has been organized at East Saginaw with ajcapital stock of $1,000,000. The ineorporutors are well-known business men, and will operate in the upper peninsula. Mrs. Clarence Laycock, daughter of the late-Joseph Darling, died at Leslie on the 0th inst. Mrs. Laycock was the first white child born in Jackson county, and has lived there all her life. Wm. Madeford, a well-known miner of Negaunee, received injuries from which he died two hours later, by a premature explosion at the Milwaukee mine the other afternoon. Phllo Crippen of Coidwater was shot March 27 by a Negro laborer on a railroad In Alabama where he was engaged as foreman, and died April 7 from the effects of the wound. Dr. John B.

"to there anything I tan bring for yea, dreuea, jewel*, book*?** "No," ah* replied, "I have every thing in the world I want." "What a particularly happy woman.' laid Lord Stair. "You positively want nothing." "No, but if you wiah to bring a present from town, bring something for baky." "For baby," repeated Lady Perth. . "I should say that baby has more of everything than ever fell to the lot of a baby before." "I say little Sunbeam deserves all she has," cried the young captain. ufthe is the sweetest Sunbeam that ever ehon*,." Lord Stair laaghed. "What shall it be, Marguerite?*' he asked. "I dp not know; if you really wish to make us a present, bring something for baby and me-" They were few words, there was little in them, yet they were the most Important that Marguerite Lady Stair ever uttered in her life. The whole family were in the breakfast- room, a charming apartment that faced the east, and so had the beauty of the morning sun; the sweet summer wind came in through the long open windows, the breakfast-table was the very picture of luxury and comfort. Lady Perth alone looked vexed and discontented. Matters were not going to her liking at all. The handsome young captain and Lady Stair were so unfeignedly happy together; and Her brother would not see anything but what was natural, light and pleasant in it. It was August now; the red bopies shone amongst the golden corn, the sun-flowers raised their faces to the sun they loved, the trees were in full leaf and the famous history of music was finished. Lord Stair had completed what he believed to be one of the most wonderful books ever written, and he was anxious now that the world should have the advantage of it alL all arrangements had been made for the publication, and Lord Stair was compelled to go to London to attend to i t . \ Tbe work absorbed all his thoughts all his interests; it was not that he gloved his young wife one whit the less, ' b u t that was a kind, comfortable affection; he liked to know that she was near him, to hear her voice and the sound of her laughter. He thought of —her always^with a warm heart, but he made no outward demonstration of his affection. He was rather pleased than not with the coming of Darcy Este; he believed his wife had everything in the world that her heart could desire, and he was still better pleased now to think that she had a companion; he liked to see them together, walking or riding. Captain Este gave Lady Stair ridinglessons, and when once, the charm of it waB known to her she liked it better than anything else. Lord Stair had purchased a magnificent horse for her, and nothing pleased him more than these riding-lessons, given during the Eleasant summer days. And now Lord tair was leaving home, so far from feeling any distrust of wife or kinsman, he was glad that Captain Este was there Marguerite would not be so lonely. He was in the highest of spirits this morning, when his wife uttered the most momentous words of her life: "Bring a present for baby and for me—the same for both of us." He was just a little puzzled as to what could possibly suit the fair young X mother of eighteen anil the little child of a few months. He said ugood-bye," he kissed the sharp, cold face of his sister—the pure sweet face of his wife; he shook with honest hartiness the hand of his kinsman. l*You will take good Care of Lady Stair while I am away, Darcy. Go on with-the riding-lessons. If I see anything suitable for her, I shall purchase it." "I shall never like an other horse so much as Prince Charlie," she said; but even to herself she hardly admitted i the reason—it was that Captain Este had chosen him, and that the spirited, beautiful animal was part of those golden summer hours. When Lord Stair was half-way to town, an idea come t o him: he had been puzzling what he should bring home to wife and child. Quite suddenly an Idea seized him, and he smiled as he pondered over it. "They shall be both alike," he said to himself: "I will have no difference between them." • V' Tfcen with his mind quite at rest, he ~ f a r a himself up to thoughts of the ^ # B U t o r y of Music," The handsome young soldier and the totr young wife stood together on the ;• white terrace, watching the carriage as U" H disappeared among the trees; they '* '- were leaning over the marble balustrade and great masses of crimson passion flowers lay at .their fee?: They stood for some few minutes in silence, and then Captain Este said: "Where shall we go? What shall we do? We have the whole of this bright A u f t t t day before us; how shall we •yawl it?" *" • Lady Stair looked up at him with a > ! • • • and a blush. "t - "isVBat plead guilty to a most wioked MsitMftn," she said; "I feel like a chBd __>Stfbo has been away from school. If ~~" you ask me how~Tsfioula like to spend the day, that Is until luncheon-time, I prefer going to the Herons' Pool. I ahonld Tike to hear more ofyour legends, and I love the cold dark waters." She turned her head to the house at she spoke, and Captain Bate saw a wistful look of longing in her fac%, "What is it?" he asked. "I should like to see my Sunbeam. I wtsh Lady Perth would go up to town for a few days, and I could bribe the head nurse," "Why do you not go now?" he asked. "I have been. I went to the nursery this morning before eight o'clock, and theHttl* Sunbeam cried for me. She held oat two such lovely hands to me, but Mrs. Marvin would not let me take her. She saitf it would be better for me to stay away from the nursery to-day 11s baby was not well and crying made her more feverish," Tears were shining In the eyes he had compared to purple violets, and a strong impulse came over him to kiss them away. Sin- " u* so young and so fair, she seemed to look upon him as such a refuge in trouble. "If you say the word, I will scale the walls and bjdag the Bttle Sunbeam to you" he cried. She laughed, "That would never do," she said, "Let us go now to the pool. If we walk slowly back, we shall be just in time for luncheon," They went to the pool, and sat during the long bright hours of the autumn day on the grassy brink, as unconscious of any coming danger as children. Captain Este had the greatest admiration for Lady Stair. He thought her the most beautiful, brilliant, and original girl he had ever met. With his great affection and admiration was mingled a feeling of chivalrous tenderness which really had its origin in pity. He thought her lonely, and at times sad. Lord Stair was engrossed in his books and music. Lady Perth disliked her, and he thought it hard that she should not be allowed to do just as she liked over little Sunbeam. He had not thought of falling in love with her. He would have been horrifird at the suggestion; but he was careless of the danger. He n/sver said to himself: "This is a beautiful, loving, romantic, girl, who has evidently never loved yet, but who will wake some day from a long sleep and love with the whole of her passionate heart." He was earless, she was ignorant and innocent. She did not know what the glamour was that had fallen over her life, what the light/was that lay over land and sea; what the music was ever rising and ever falling in her heart; why she loved the dark, clear waters of the Herons' Pool; she was quite unconscious of it all. So it became a habit of theirs to spend the warm, bright mornings by the pool; it became a habit also for them to use each other's Christian names wn^n they were aione. A habit is so goon formed. Captain Este, as they sat by the clear waters, often took Lady Stair's hand in his "and held it tightly clasped* As the days passed they became inseperable, but there was no thought of danger. One evening, when the sun was sett i n g in pomp of rose and crimson and gold, Lord Stair returned. There was a pretty little group on the white terrace where the crimson passion-flowers grew. Lady Perth had relaxed her rules and had allowed the lovely little baby to spend an hour or two with its fair young mother* Captain Este would make a festive affair of it. He brought out a crimson velvet easy-chair which he said was to be the throne of the rarest of queens. ."You will look like a picture by Titian," he said. "A background of crimson velvet, a dress of blue—what is it?—brocade? Well, it looks like blue clouds with a trifle of show over them —golden hair, and afaceJ^ke a flower. That little bundle orwhite lace lying in your arms completes the picture." But Lady Stair was too much engrossed with the Sunbeam to care anything about the picture, and no fairer sight was ever seen than the mother's fair, sweet face bent in mute worship over the lovely features of the child. This was the scene that brigtened Lord Stair's face, as his eyes fell on it. Lady Perth had been the first t o w e l - come him. "Come with me," she said; "you will see a pretty picture on the terrace." He went up to the little group; Lady Perth went with him; he kissed his wife and child. The scene was photographed on his mind and heart and brain forever. MI am quite sure," he said "that both my wife and child will likfethe present* I have bought for them, they will like it for its own sake, ape they will like it even better because it is "»B*T IK DIAMONDS.'?* The golden sunlight, the deep blue sky above, the ripple of green leaves all around, the masses of scarlet passionflowers, the~ golden head and flowerlike face, standing out so clearly and so beautifuly from the back-ground of crimson velvet, the Utile bundle of white lace lying on the blue dresB; he never forgot the picture, nor did the others who saw it. A few words, and then Lord Stair took a parcel from his pocket. "I have brought you a present, Marguerite," he said. 'K2ome here Darcy, and you, Thamer, come and see what you think of it." "Is there nothing for Ethel?" asked Lady Stair. Her husband laughed. "It would have been high treason to have forgoten the little Miss Ethel." he said. "I knew better, Marguerite, I have brought the same for both." Lady Stair was sitting In the midst of the group, her husband on one side of her chair, Captain Este on the other. Lady Perth stood leaning against the balustade, and the little Sunbeam lay with wide open eyes on Marguerite's knees. A little group but one to be remembered; the trouble and wonder of many years were oentered In it—the foreshadowing of strange events* Lord Stair was suddenly distracted by the laughing eyes of the child. "I believe," he cried "that the little one knows me; she is laughing at me." "She has more seats and quickness than any child of her age," cried Lady Stair, rapturously; at which they all laughed. Then Lord Stair stood up and opened the packet. •• f - -, JF CHAPTER X I I . • DABKKKING SHADOW. The sun seemed to be resected in a thousand gleams of light, as Lord Stair opened the parcel and displayed the contents, tbe sun shone on the diamonds, until they burned like points of flame. There lay two oval-shaped lockets, each containing a beautifully executed minature of Lord Stair, perfect in resemblence and superbly painted; the dark handsome face had lost some of Its Sroud, cold, gravity; there was a smile ithe dark eyes and an expression'of tenderness on the firm, beautiful mouth. The minature was small but perfect, it Was set in diamonds of the finest Water, large, clear, superb diamondsthere were twenty-five round each locket and each was a perfect gem. The loop was of richly chased gold, to each was attached a chain of purest gold and of rare workmanship. The sun shone upon the two lockets as tbey lay there, uutil the eyes of those who looked on were dazed, and this Was the light of fate. "What diamonds!" cried Lady Perth, "I never saw such fine ones in my life; why, Douglas, these must have cost a fortune." "They did," laughed Lord Stair, "but it was a fortune well spent." Lady Stair did not notice the diamonds so much as the picture. "Douglas," she cried, looking at him, "I did not know you were so handsome as this." "I am delighted that you find me handsome even there, Marguerite," he replied laughingly. "It is a fine likeness," said Captain Este, and the diamonds are superb." Even the little Sunbeam cooed and laughed at the shining jewels. "Let her touch the locket," said Lady Stair, and her husband placed the shining jewels in the baby hand. Does history repeat itself? the time came when husband and wife asked each other that question. . "See!" cried Lady Stair, who thought more of the child than of portrait or diamonds—"see how she likes the diamonds!" •'True to her sex!" cried Captain Este. "Shame!" cried Lady Stair—"a soldier, above all men, should never libel ladies," "Why a soldier?" asked the young officer quietly. "Because he is expected to be more chivalrous than other men," was her answer. . " l a m not quite sure of that," said Lord Stair. "We will not argue about Jt," .said Lady Stair. "Douglas, do you know what strikes me most in this likeness of yours?" "No. What* is it Marguerite?" he asked, "You look BO fond of baby and me," she anBwered, with the sweet simplicity that characterized her. Captain Este could have worshipped her for the words; Laxly Perth laughed scornfully. "Who ever heard of a man looking fond of any one in a picture?" she cried. "It is so ," said Lady Stair. "Your eyes meet mine, and there is a kindly, loving light in them." "Is there not the same light in the living eyes?" he asked, half pained and half flattered.. She looked at them steadily, coldly, with grave, sweet wisdom. "No," she replied, "it is not quite the same." "What nonsence," said Lady Perth brusquely, "when the likeness is eo good." Captain Este took the locket in his own hands, and looked at it. "Lady Stair is quite right," he said. "The eyes in this minature have an unusually gentle look." Then the little baby hand, wadering with indirect aim, was caught in the chain of gold. $. "Ethel wants hfer locket," laugked Lord Stair. And no warning came to him of how those words would bo aopofttcd.—He took the chain in his hands, and fastened it round the child's tiny neck. The diamonds lay shining on the baby breast,.—He cent dow-n-and kissed the sweet face. "There, baby," he said, "that is my first present to you." And Lady Stair feeling her heart touched by his kindness to the Sunbeam. bent her beautiful head and kissed him. It was the first time she had volunteered a caress to him. and a burn ins; blush overspread her face when sho realized what she had done. [TO BS COXTINUSD.] Sir Charles Dilke Gets a Fortune. The following are the facts connected with the fortune which Sir Charles Dilke has just inherited. In 1804 Sir Charles Dilke's great-aunt married Mr. John Snooke. That gentleman left two sons. The elder died eight years ago, and the other only a few weeks since, the wives and children of them both having predeceased them. By the eUiSt brother's will his fortune was to be divided at the death of his brother between Sir Charles Dilke and Mr. Ashton Dilke, unless the survivor should have previously altered the will. No alteration was made, and the original will, under which Sir Charles Dilke will take ever £100,000, therefore holds good.
