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

He can think of nothing else; he has room for no other mental effort We see the same thing in the diaries and accounts of the polar exploration fanatics. It would be the most painful reading in the world if it were not so monotonous. Each one tells exactly the same stofy^—the story of his physical struggle to keep alive with the thermometer fifty degrees below zero. Soon the mind has no other occupation.than this struggle^ It almost ceases to wora io any other direction. This is interesting to us at first as a study of the capacity of the human organism to resist the unrestrained attack* of nature. The experience of a person who should in this latitude, in winter, retire to an icehouse, with, a natchet and a supply of frozen hash, a whale-oil lamp, and a fur overcoat and body-bag, and sit on the ice in the darkness, and record his feelings, the gradual lowering of the vital powers, the concentration of the niind upon the numbness of his legs would doubtless have a physiological interest But the second experimenter would not interest his readers so much as the first with his narrative. ited heat, in which the stranger came off second best On reaching a bit of rough road both slowed up, and the stranger sung out: "That's a good mare you've got, my friend.

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

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

FuriousP You never saw anything like it He snatched the popcorn away from the child and poured torrents of abuse upon bis wife for daring to touch his popcorn; Then he put it back into the rack and at intervals got up and ate some of it until it was all gone.

Isn't he a curse to society as long as he lives? And might he hot prove a blessing to the medical student and barren land when he dies P Then why not kill him and make a blessing of him?

The big society people are not all the big millionaires. In fact, the princes of finance do not enter society at all, and their representation in the social circle is feeble-at best.

' (Jen. Nathan Church wasjthen quartermaster general. The "drug" bill for the encampment of 1883 is a corker. It is estimated there were medicines enough purchased to last the number of men in camp for a year. It is barely possible the "drug" bill was bluft, for what is shown by the vouchers to have called for one-third of the whole expense was whisky. The "drug" expense amounts to $390.14. Of this amount there was expended for whis- . ky, brandy, sherry and port wine $110.- 25; champagne is not mentioned. For the encampment of 1884 the drug expenditures were $227.70. General _:Clmr_c_hls expense in this _department in/1882 was $12.15. Not only was the drinking of the highest order, but the mess tent furnished foundation for military gout. At the encampment of 1884 eight persons and their invited guests ate the -value of $624.45. Old soldier hard tack was not on the tinted bill of tarn, but the vouchers show payments for Dehesia raisins, California pears, almonds, Brazil nuts, melons, nutmegs. and all kinds of fancy prepared meats. The water was cheap, but the ice which, at last year's encampment, kept it cool was very dear. Gen. Sbakespear did not forget his friends and neighbors in either the dry goods or the ice business. Accordingly February 9,1884, he made a contract with Fred N. Root, ot Kalamazoo, to superintend the building of an ice-house at Island Lake and filling the same with ice. No price was agreed upon for the work either by the day or job, except that Root yvas to get $2 per ton for filling the ice house. The fiist item chargediand allowed was for two days' time by Root in going Irom Kalamazoo to Island Lake and r,eturn—prob- •ably to look over the prospects of bis soft snap. He received $10 for his time and $10 for his expenses. Five days were spent in building and filling the ice house.

Thirty seveu years ago to-day amid the croaking of the frogs, the harmonious song of the "plum pudding," the sand hill crane and the wild duck, down on "Rattle Snake Island," in Waterloo township, five miles south of Stockbridge "as the crow flies," the editor of this paper, amid considerable household commotion, first heard his beauty complimented.

As for traveling, why shouldn't we, when, as often happens, it is easier, pleasanter, sater, and cheaper than staying at home?

In 1870 a dozen gentlemen who ride in Boston & good deal together, agreed to dine together once a year until the eleventh man should have departed this life. The organization was called "The United Twelve," and they held their fifteenth annual dinner Thursday evening, March 19, the entire twelve still being united on thii side- the river. So says the Lowell Courier. THE humane society of Pittsburg has entered a suit in the United States court against the Pennsylvania railroad company alleging that the recent act of congress which provided heavy penal* ties on all public carriers of live stock for failure to properly care for animals during transportation has been shamelessly disregarded, the defendant company having allowed live stock shipped from Chicago to be on the road sixtytwo hours without food, water or rest. The suit is a test one and brought at the suggestion of the agent of the national humane society. Should the plaintiff win the case an attempt will be made to enforce the act in all parts of the United States. WiTh--calm fortitude Gen.

Minnie Hamilton, who lives on the Vir- Miller of New Jersey expJaided that the only expenditure contemplated by this letolutlon A remarkable picture, rarely sesuiir any country^is_reported from Waterford, Ont, at the funeral of Wm, Perkins, an aged resident of that place. Around the grave were gathered a number of old men and women, the eldest 80 years of age, the youngest 59. Their white heads bowed with sorrow, and their stooping shoulders bent more .than usual to perform the last sad rites over the body of Mr. Perkins, their father, whose age at death was 100 years, 3 months and 7 days. He was born at Gainsborough, England, and came to Canada in 1851, settling near Dunville. He married in early life, had eight children, and every one ot .them survive him, the eldest as stated, being 80 years of age. Such longevity in an entirefamily is almost without parallel, ^ ; - - •'. IN South Carolina recently a man named Dean was riding in a wagon -with the twelve year old son of a neighbor named Miller. An assassin named David Belton rode up behind on horseback and deliberately shot the man Dean. _irL—the wagons The horrified child witnessed the murder and escaped owing to the speed—ofthe frightened horse attached \o the wagon. On an examination in court the child was was asked if he knew what it was to take an oath; if he believed in God; if he had ever heard of the devil; if he went to church or Sunday school. To all these questions he Sjhswered: "No sir." Thereupon the innopent child was not permitted to testify against the murderer. On the other hand, the murderer does not believe in God, has attended church and Sunday school, and was a church member. The case is a vivid illustration of the injustice and folly of the Jaw which nfakes religious belief Qa test of the credibility of witnesses. m HERAT, the present bone of contention between England and Russia, is comparatively small for a place of such paramount importance, containing barely 50,000 inhabitants.

The Senate then at 12:30 p. m,, went into executive session. In executive session Mr. 8herman offered a resolution directing the chair to appoint a committee of two senators to wait on the president and inform him that unless he has some farther communication to make that the Senate is ready to adjourn without delay. The resolution will probably be adopted to-morrow. At 13:30 p, m., when the doors were reopened, the Senate adjourned. MARCQ 20. ginia aide ofthe Ohio river, met Arthur Simpson at the skating rink in Olarington, Ohio. Simpson is a reputable young man, the son of a farmer living near that place. An attachment ripened into love and an engagement followed, An elopement was planned, though there was no excuse tot it, as there was no objection to their marriage. Probably a spirit of romance actuated them. The girl, in attempting to leave a second story window of the house of a friend to meet her lover, fell and received injuries from which she died the next morning. A aSOBTAGK OP WHEAT. S. W. Talmage, the well known crop statistician of Milwaukee, is in receipt of late information in relation to the area, condition and present outlook of the winter wheat crop. The report shows the acreage to be largely decreased ~ar compared wishr lasr] year. The condition is very unfavorable and the prospects for a fair yield are most unpromising. The reports are from the states of Ohio, California, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Keatuoay, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia and South Carolina. A decreased acreage oi from 5 to 30 per cent, is reported, allowing the states named 3,910,000 acres. This shortage, at the average yield of last year (i3 basuelt) will snow a falling off of 50,800- 000 ouBnels. Adding tj this the reported damage by winter kiiling_aud other causes, which will' average at least 15 per cent, (these states producing last year 340,000,000 bashelu) will show a farther falling oft of 51,- 000 000. making from present indications a total shortage in the yield of these 16 states of 101,800,000 bushels. TANNER OUTDONE. A singular case has just been made public at Akron, wherein it is shown that Jennie Hull, aged 15, lived 75 days without taking a particle of food save a very small bit or orange once or twice a week and occasionally a swallow of water.

Soon afterward she fell from high chair and sustained injuries to her back, SBNATK—The chair laid before the Senate a memorial from the stats legislature oi Maine, advocating the adjustment of [the differences in international laws by a high court of arbitration. Referred. Mr. Manderson'e resolution, authorizing the appointment of a committee of five by the committee on territories to proceed to Alaska during the recent of -Congress to make certain investigation*, was then laid before the Senate. It tlloted au txoeediagly protracted debate, in which extravagant commissions were hanled back and forth over the coals. No action was ra>en on the resolutions. The resolution of Mr. Harrison rescinding the order giving Mr. Van Wyoks' committee power to investigate the Mississippi river and employ a olerk during recess was referred to that committee, and the Senate went into executive session. In executive session the following nominations were oon armed Joseph B. Evan of Neva la, to be coiner of. the mint at Carson, Nov.; Wm. M.

The Senate has ratified the treaty with the khedive or Egypt and the convention relating to boundary lines between this country and Mexico. The treaty with the khedive extends to the United States the commercial privileges whioh Great Britain enjoys, by virtue ot the treaty between Egypt and Greece, made about a year ago. Tue treaty with Mexioe recognizes the principle of international law in tne settlement of die* putee whioh may oscur over changing the bed of the Rio Grande river. IN THE INTERESTS OF LABOR. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, recommends that three special agents be sent to Strops for from three to five months, and eight or ten such agents be appointed for the United States to investigate the labor question in all its various ramifications. The suggestions meet the approval of Secretary Lamar. SHE USED KEROSENE . Betsey R. Hoadlsy, aged 82, met a horrible death at Sonuh Bay, near Syracuse, N. Y. Willie Dunham, a nephew, crossed the street to pay her his usual morning greeting, when he was horrified at seeing htr dead faos protruding through a broken window pane. Banning back home he described what he had seen. Mrs. Hoadlsy was the widow of Leonard Ho^dley, who fought in the war o! 1813, and for which service she reoeived a pension. The body was found in •+- knerling posture and" the hands were clasped as it in prayer. There was a trail of burnt footprints filled with baked flesh oo the oarpel from the ittove to the window. Not a shred of clothing remained ou the body whioh ( was burned to a crisp. Mrj. Hoadley lived alone. She was of sound mind and in excellent health, but us ad kerosene to light the tire.

The movement looking to building a "soldiers1 home" in this state is one that fcvery loyal-hearted man and woman will heartily approve. The spectacle of a man who fought for the preservation ot the government; spending his last days in a poor house with paupers is a disgrace to the good people of Michigan. It has occurred in the state —can De seen to-day. Many of those who fought in the Union urmy have been unable to acquire a competence, their business adventures have turned out disastrously, and age, with all its ills and burdens, made heavier no doubt by the exposures and privations of a soldiers1 life, has come upon them, and they can no longer earn the food and clothing necessary to keep them alive and covered.. Through no fault of theirs these old heroes have come to this sore strait. The question is what shall be done for themP As matters are, the best, indeed the only thing possible, is to pur them in the poor houses. The soldiers1 [homes sustained by the government are so full that it is simply impossible to find lodgment and care for the wornout veterans there. It* doesn't seem right, it isn't rigbt to treat these old heroes simply as common paupers are treated. They have a claim to the consideration that the pauper has not; they have been called to discharge the highest dnty that can be exacted of the citizen; they tendered themselves, their lives, all that men hold most dear in this life, that the nation might be preserved against the assaults of those who essayed to destroy it by violence. Shall it be said that these men are not entitled to special consideration P Much is said of the grandeur and nobility of patriotism, and special praise is claimed to be due to those who show themselves patriots when their country calls for men to stand between it and its enemies. We try to impress our children with the belief that the very highest duty of the American, citizen, after that he owes to his God, is the duty he owes to his country, and that the man who is true to that duty, when that means sacrifice of home and friends, exposure to danger and death, is a man worthy of honor at the hands of his countrymen. What idea of the value of patriotic discharge of duty is an intelligent boy likely to receive from the spectacle of a survivor of the grand armies that saved the nation, cast into the poorhouse, the recipient of public charity? Justieo demands that the aid given to old soldiers should not. be doled out as a charity, but given as something: due, in payment for service that can't be estimated in dollars and cents. The state of Michigan is abundantly abl_e_to_take. proper care of the old veterans in hnr bounds, such care that the young man contemplating their condition may say, f •! thank-GodVI belong ta a state that does its duty by the heroes to whose valor the nation owes its existence.'' 4'IndeedP Pray, may I ask how you MO eat it?"

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

The4)uke took occasion not long ago to reason with her upon tho peculiarities. of manner and general carriage which prevent her from being popular like her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales. A royal row ensued, but wound up with the announced resolve of the daughter of the late Czar to model her comportment in future after that of the Danish Princess. "It happened not long after," savs the chronicler, "that the Princess• of Wales attended a. charity fair given in aid of an old woman's home. The amiable Alexandra, out of the goodness of her heart, went around the room speaking .a kind word to each of the unfortunate Women. Now, the Princess of Wales ts slightlv lame: and the Duchess of Edinburg, who was present and determined to carry out the suggestions of her lord to the letter, went round the room behind the Princess and mimicked her lameness and all! As may be Ttrpposiottr matters were srot aT all mended." The yery best remedy that can be 00m pounded from our present knowledge of drugs, for colds, coughs, asthma, bronchitis and other lung diseases, is Dr. Wistars1 Balsam of Wild Cherry. It has cured many cases of consumption when all other remedies had failed. A single Bpoonful will cure an ordinary cough or cold and give instant relief to asthma. It is soothing, healing and strengthening to throat and lungs and is yery pleasant to take.

The tax was collected by the sheriff, who charged 4 per cent, for his services and also retained 1,000 pounds per annum for payment of the parish euerk. The laws of Virgina at the same time allowed e rery preacher 1,500 pounds of tobacco and sixteen barrels of flour annually. Art builds on sand; the works of_£rlde The sudden and remarkable growth of the rollor-skating pastime has created a constantly increasing demand for a certain size of box-wood for rollers, and where eighteen months ago a ton of three-inch wood brought $30 it i» now impossible to buy a ton for $120. The price has trebled in less than a year. At the present rate of consumption the world will be practically exhausted of its boxwood in less than twelve months, unless some equally cheap and durable substitute is found to take its place. Boxwood grows in Persia and Turkey, is of very slow growth and in its native coun'.ry stringent Umber laws restrict the depletion of the growing tree*}. Roller-akate manufacturers have tried rubber, celluloid, vulcanized fibres and compressed paper as a substitute for boxwood rollers, but for ope reason or another they have proved unsatisfactory. Dogwood, apple, pepperidge, laurel and lignum- vitis have also been tried by skate maufacturers,, but they have all been rejected, and nothing has yet been found which in all respects is as good for the purpose as boxwood.—-[Wat«r- 'own Times.

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

Tbe New England Supper at the Monitor House last evening was a success throughout. A large crowd was in attendance and they were kept in continual laughter by tbe actors and imitators of old-time personages, as well as those of modern times, most of whom played their respective roles to perfection. It netted the M. E. society about $30. On Sunday next tbe Congregational Sunday school will reorganize by election of officers for coming fear. All children (or grown persons} in the village or adjacent country, net at present identified with any other school, are cordially invited to unite with us in Sunday school work. The school will convene at the usual hour—half past eleven. Jerome Winchell, Sup't, Chas. G. Teeple, Sec'y. An organization ot the rolling-^katerink interests have been established in Chicago. Its object is to prevent betting, gambling, smoking, drinking, liquor selling, improper conduct and improper persons from getting into skating rinks. In Minnesota a bill has been introduced prohibiting the presence of the two sexes on the floor at tbe same time; in our state.pne forbiddiug the attendance of children under sixteen years without guardians or parents, while a Vermont statute imposes a fine upon a proprietor who admits school children.

Tbe same increase of weight is allowed for drop letters, whether mailed at stations where there is a free delivery or wBere carrier service is not established. Second—- All newspapers sent from the office of publication, including sample copies", or when sent from a news agency to actual subscribers thereto, or to other news agents, shall be entitled to trans* mission at the rate of one cent per pound or fraction thereof, the postage to be prepaid. This is a reduction of one half from existing rates. The question of building a new school house for this district is being agitated—semewhat and probably * meeting will be called soon withthat object in view, and we would suggest that all ponder it well in their minds and 9ee if tbia enterprise is not an esential one. The building now in use has more the appearance of a barn than a school house and stringers are wont to4ookupon-thfiJiulk_^nd_enquire_for_ what it is used; it has to be frequently repaired; i;i not comfortable only in. warm weather, and will not bold half the scholars ot the district. Now is the best time in the world to build. Material and labor are both cheap; it would employ many Ot our idle laborers and leave most of the money in our own town. Motley can also be had at a low rate oi interest and by giving bonds due in two or three years say for $5,000 it could be paid with ease,' and that amount ought to put up a good school building. It is only «j question of time, gentlemen, and why not do it when everything is so advantageous for your welfare?

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

All through the section named the crape were out short last year and the Buffering ia beyond comprehension. The wheat crop is short and farmers in the stricken section are unable to procure seed corn. AGAINST THE MORMONS. A decision has been rendered by the auprune oout of the United States affirming the decision of the lower courts in the aerv ice of five oases known aa polygamy suits, brought by oertain Mormon oitiiens of Utah for tho purpose ot getting a Judicial decision as to the power of the board of commissioners or aanvaa*ers rnpointed under tne socalled Edmunds aot oi March 2*. 1882, to supervise elections in that territory principal question raised by the auit is whether the boaid of commissioners appointed under the Edmonds act had power to prescribe aa a condition of the registration or voters, a discriminating test oath requiring the applicant for registration to swear (if a man) .that he ia not a bigamist or polygamies and doaa not l i v or cohabit with more than one woman in the marriage relation, or (if a woman) that ahe ia not tho wife of a polygamiat and has not entered in to any relation with any man in violation of the lawa of the United States concerning polygamy or bigamy. The general sentiment among intelligent Mormona regarding the decision is one of disappointment, which the teat eath prescribed by the oommiaaion declared invalid. They atate the ooort went out of ita way to practically declare the Edmunds act valid when the point was not neeeaarily before it. The ruling that inhabitants of territories are under the sovereign control of oongreaa, is viewed with amazement and regret, and is generally considered aa a decision more opposed to a republican form ot government than any ever given since the nation was founded. The Mormons feel then are being nnjuatly dealt with. SUFFERING FOR FOOD. Additional particulars of the suffering for want of food in the interior ot Woat Virginia, have been received.

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

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

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

Miles Fetorson built the cabins. During her first winter the work done in the ice was jmite jatiafa©- tory, but the present winter, and that of 1883 -4 were both toe severe for successful navigation, and the oompany must have lost a great deal of money by attempting to keep the route open.

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

She alloved that if she married a man "who ne^vef~wehtrrnsid€rof_one e'd be false to h6r principles, for the Bible says the righteous shall not be voked to the unrighteous, you know. Tom took it real hard at first, but he didn't bear Annie no ill will, V when she married Luther Beldon he sent her a handsome present. Luther, he was (a real steady young man, but somehow or other he didn't have any luck. He had a good farm, but, work as he might, he u ever made . nothin' off it more'n a bare livin', V Annie had to pinch and screw to keep clothes to their backs.

It was thick 'n' soft V mighty andsome, 'n' Luther ho didn't seem able to keep his eyes off it. " I wonder when I'll be able to give you a black silk; AiinieP'he said, put ting his arm round her as she stood by his chair. 'We've been married seven years 'n' I ain't been able to get you nothin' better 'n calioo.' "*I don't need a silk,'says Annie. 'I've got all the dresses I can use now.' "Luther looked at her real steady a minute. Then he says, sorter slow 'n' quiet, 'For all that, I mean to get you one, Annie. 1 want to see how you'd look in it.' " •No'better'n I look now in my blue delaine,' says Annie. 41 'We'll see 'bout that,' says Luther. 'I don't care how hard times are, I mean to live till I get you a black silk dress.' "She laughed V told him he'd make a peacock of her if he could; bnt for all her brave-words I know she was downright fond of pretty things, 'n' it really hurt her to have to wear old, faded dresses, V bonnets five years behind the style. But Bhe never said so, 'n' she'd walk into church Sunday in her old blue delaine 'n' yellow straw bonnet, lookln' as sweet V happy as if she'd been dressed like a queen. "WeD, Luther he never came over here after that without he had some remark to make 'bout my black silk, 'n' he stuck to it that he would give Annie one like it before he died. "But year after year went by, 'n' my silk was all wore out 'n1 I'd got another, 'n' still A.nnie s best dress was a cheap delaine, V it wasn't often she eould afford to buy even a pair of cotton gloves to cover her hands. Things hadn't gone better with Luther, 'n' they had other things to sorrow for than losing their best horses V cattle V their crops. They lost their six children, one after the other. Three of 'em died in*>ne week of scarlet fever, V the others was sickly little things, V went off in slow consumption. "If it hadn't been that she had to keep Luther up, I believe Annie'd have give way many a time; but for his sake she didn't know one half shefelt. An' she- never lost 'faith in tke Lord. She said His ways seemed hard, but that He knew what was best for her. Well, time went on, 'n' about five 'n' then called to him to know if he wanted anything. There wasn't no ansr wer, V she crossed the hall 'n' harried into the spare room, Well, child, she found him dead, his face turned toward the door as if he'd been watchin' for her, 'n' the sound she'd heard was the death rattle in his throat. "When Jobn^ V I got there he'd been dead only a few minutes, 'n\I tell you, child, it was a sad sight to see her knee] in' down by that low bed in her new black silk, her arms round that man him 'n' moanin' 'n' n' beggin' him shudderin' to speak to for the better with Luther. His wheat crop turned out well, 'n' he sold it to good profit, 'n' he got his corn off the bottom lands before the river rose, V that was a great help to him. He seemed real cheerful, 'n' told John that he was just beginmn' to enjoy life, 'n1 if things went well he'd soon have the mortgage cleared off the farm.

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

The grandchildren of the richest creditor of Robert Graves were found in an orphan asylum. The sum due them, including compound interest, was $9,000. Mr. Graves found them ifr Louisiana.

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

Secretary Bayard, it is reported, is appointing Consuls and Consuls General abroad. He will select, where it is to do so, cither American citizens residing at foreign points where representatives are required, or gentlemen who have had experience in diplomacy.

Acknowledging all its faults, its crudeness—narrowaess perhaps—and its lack of form, it must yet be acknowledged that it differs from {-all other American society—in -the fact that it is not founded on wealth. It is the only society which ia really repub lican, though it has little resemblance to the 'republican court'.of the first administration—the only one in America which has a well-detined basis. And that basis is public station, temporarily conferred, whether directly or indirectly, by the expressed wishes of fellowsmen.

Such a society does not feel obliged to adopt certain customs because it is reported at second hand that they are in good form in London. Its opinions are robustly independent, its information is extensive, and its subjests of conversation are many and varied. "It is not to be imagined that such a society is well defined, or that its rules are clearly established—though it is true that the 'Etiquette of Social Life in Washington' has been most elaborately formulated in a little pamphlet, of which a fresh edition is perennially produced, and which is said to sell in great numbers.

But this is not peculiar to Washington »lone. Such 'public receptions' are inflicted upon Presidents jn all cities which they visit. Hardly less incongruous are the Wednesday afternoon receptions of the wives of Cabinet officers, wnen their doors are alBO f. nominations the President may senoTfthrowjropen and hundreds of strangers in, saying that he is certain to name for every place some one they, have never heard ot, and the^ensation "of surprise has ceasesPto be a novelty.

Marka of Petoskeyjof the State Piih Oommtaehm, waa in theWty yesterday, on hi« way home, atter plantiag 10,000 brook trout at Tekonsha at the roqueat of Hon. A. D. Eldred, and alio 10,000 at Union Oity, ordered by Hubbard & Wllkina. The trout were placed in Gold River end Tanbaik Greek, which are fed by apringa and contain all the requisitea for the anocesefttlcttlture ot brook trout. Mr. arke also has two orders from Jackson County for 40,000 brook trout and will bring them next wo^thefirst order ever made by Jackaon for thia apeotea of fish. Mr. Marks says the fieh are at free as water to all oountiee in the state where the > conditions are favorable for their culture. He ia an enthusiast on the aubleot and knows more about the nature, habits and tricks ot flah than some whole families. To the CittMns' representative he cheerfully described the location and progress of the ah hatchery at Paris, near Big Rapids. ThJa, ke Bays, is the acaeon for planting brook trout. He delivered two large orders at YpailanU and Ann Arbor thia week, bestdes thote mentioned at Dnlon City and Tekonsha. ft ia no sinecure job to distribute fish through the country euooessiuliy, that is juvenile and baby hah, ior they are as much trouble to the manager aa ,a drat class opera singer. They XLUat have oonetant attention— neither too warm nor too cold and fresh water every hour. The little fish are shipped in twelve or fifteen gallon cans and carried free by the railxoada in their expreaa cara. Bupt. W. G, Marka intends to hatch.45,- 000,000 wall-eyed pike at once for diBtribution among the inlands lakes, and Jackson County can have aa many ot them aa they want. Our lakes are well adapted tn tnaf variety of pike. On March 24 the Fish Com. mission received 60,000 eggs of landlocked salmon from Maine, a gift irom the United States Fiah Commission. , - - . These eggs will be hatched and the fish ready lor delivery by May 1. They will then be placed in the inland lakes. The oommia- Mon will also have 360,000 latai trout ready for delivery~in April, to be placed brthe Inland lakea of the state, , / . „ « « « • Last jear the oommiaslon planted 45,000,- 000 white fish and expeot to Increase the number to 60,000,000 the present year. At thia rate it seems probable that our fishermen will not run ahort of bites in the years to oome. m Arfeor Day Proclamation. To the People of Michigan: In compliance with a concurrent resolution passed by the Legislature of the State of Michigan, approve* March 16. 1881, and reiterated by^^ theLegiaJajure of 1886,nqijik ing the Governor "to call the attention of the people of the State to the importance of planting trees for ornament, protection and •hade, by naming a day upon which this work shall be given especial prominence, to be known and designated as 'Arbor Day'," which custom prevails in many of the states. Therefore I, Kueeell A. Alger, Governor of the Btata of Michigan, do hereby designate Saturday, the 11th day of April, A.

All the men then struck and the company deoided to make the price thirty cents per car in all the dips. At the usual meeting the company explained why they could pay only thirty cents, and some of the men went baok to work, earning about $20 each while the others were resting.

Dr. North dresaed the wound, but concluded it was not aafe to attempt to remove the ball until the hemof^ rage subsides. The little boy who caused all this trouble, when asked about the ahooting, said he didn't mean to hurt Nellie; he wanted to play with the rtvolver and didn't suppose it would shoot. J. K.

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

Missing the train he started to walk, but lay down and went to replevlned, and brought ault iu the superior oourt, wheie they obtained a nominal verdiet fessional men that Red Star Cough Cure/ on account of its freedom from narcotics and poisons, inaugurates a most desirable new departure in medicine. This is the pronounced opinion of authorities like Dr. Fawcett, who has been for thirty-three years resident physician of the Union Protestant Infirmary, in this city, and Prof. John J. Caldwell, M. D., member of medical societies of Baltim o r e , New York and Brooklyn, and <wi£h~a long experience in civil and military hospitals. Both of these gentlemen, together with no less than fifty other practicing physicians of Maryland, have publiclv put themselves on record as to the evil of narcotic medicinea, and the consequent value and importance of the new discovery referred to. It is conceded that public opinion has completely vindicated Dr. Steuart in his action, and that in his whole course he was actuated simply by an earnest desire to benefit the community at large.

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

At present he was engaged in sawing wood for a gentleman near by, and managed to spend his money for drink about as fast as he earned it. Mr. Eldredge, having been directed, then sought out the man in question, whon: he-found in that healthful oocupatiou, and at onoe recognized him as a man of English birth, which greatly increased Ms hopes of success. After a serios of flotations were answered-by " Old Ag," It became very apparent to Mr. Eldredg* fhat he was the same person he was look 4ng for, notwithstanding his forlorn and 'dilapidated appearance.

Lord Branningsford, who was very wealthy, had two sons, one named Ldonald and the other Agernon. In 1847 Libnald was married to a young lady of high birth by the name of Elizabeth Stratton. Agernon was a frequent visitor at the family residence, and owing to a quarrel between the two brothers over the young wife Agernon em- {Marked for America, and arrived in San Francisco in the fall of 1850.

He debated for a •while whether or not it would be an illustration of HObrioty to remove it, and remembering that he had often seen his wife pick feathers from the carpet aftt^r having. jammed the pillows in making the; bed, iie arose, took up the feather, examined it a moment, raised a window and threw it out. This performance did not entirely satisfy him, for in his mind there lnrked a suspicion that his wife might fancy him to be drunk. In looking around for another test he discovered the water-bucket. He knew that to bring fresh water, beyond a doubt, would settle the question of his so feriety, so he took up the bucket and wont ctot to the well. Feeling around and not rinding the "moss-covered ticket," but deciding that it mu&t be at the bottom of t'ho well, he began to ttirn the windlass. For fifteen minutes he turned the crank. "Deepest well I ever saw," he mused, and continued to grind. After awhile hi* wife came out and said: "Harvey, what in the name of common sense are yon doing ?" "Try'n to draw bucket water. Deepest well I ever saw. Grindin' for hour, bucket not up yet." / "Why, don't you know that we had the. well cleaned out, and that the bucket has been taken off? Gome on away. You are as drunk as a fool." - "fveenes' observation I ever, saw," raid the gentleman to himself. "Nezer saw thing like it. "—Arkansaw traveler. ~- Breaking a Mustang*.

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

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

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

If a noise is made she will make *»>gn that the little "cats" understand asireh as the chickens do the chick of an old hen when a hawk la in tha neighborhood, and run into into the open mouth of the old catfish, who win then turn and swim off in safety with her young. Mr. Thomas Davis of this city some time ago told us that he had noticed this care of a mother catfish swimming about in shallow water, while the old fish would not be far off. If danger threatened, the old "catty11 would rush in among her young, and by a vigorous motion of her fins stur up the mud nntil tbe water became discolored and the voungfish could no longer be seen. \Yhen the water would become clear again neither old nor young fish would be visible. R e c l a i m e d AJter T w e n t y Y e a r s . 8t. Louis Democrat. * A Richmond, Ky., dispatch dated March 28, contains the following incidents whioh show some peculiar!tes which human nature seems heir to: For a dozen years a strange man, known as Hermit Smith, has made his home in the eastern part of this coun try, about twelve miles from here. From whence he came nobody knows, nor would any one have cared save for his wild mode of living. He was apparently about 40 years of age when first noticed. He had onoe possessed a bright mind, with considerable knowledge of the world, but had been mentally wrecked. His a p - pearance did not indicate strong drink, ^ and he was neither idle nor lazy. * Oc- • casionally he labored on farms, but . most generally spent his time in hunting, and he hunted for meat and not for fun. His life and happiness seemed to depend on his hunting. He disliked a house. In summer a grassy plot was his epuehy and the starry-heavens-W-ere his covering, lnjwinjtejr'he dug a hole in the ground, or constructed tho most primitive house of sticks. He ate meat almost exclusively, especially in winter, and his bill- of fare embraced, a greater variety than that of any other human being—to-wit: opossums, coons, ground-hogs, skunks, rabbits, squirrels, .rats, tjirtles.^errapins, fish, snakes, frogs, all kinds of birds, and semi-occasionally a hog or sheep. In the summer time ha indulged in fruit, berriesr corn and a few other things. He often talked of how he lived when among: the Indians, and frequently spoke of Lake Minnetonka, the city of Minneapolis the Missourt-^+ver^ and such other-plaees— and things as indicated a former residence in the Northwest. Hi& nautical ' expressions were evidence of a familiarity with seamen. But no one ever succeeded in discovering any facts tnat would throw light on his strange career. The local newspapers have time and again written him up and many have been the letters sent to metropolitan journals describing him and his exceedingly primitive mode of -living. On last Friday, when the southbound train on tho Kentucky Central Railroad slowed-up-at the depot here, a stranger stepped out and enquired for a livery stable. Upon being shown one he said his name was Daniel Smith, from Washington County, Maine, and he wished to be* driven to the residence of Mr. A. W. Hisle, iD the country, up- <*n whose farm he expected to find a long lost brother. Mr. Smith had happened upon a newspaper paragraph, which induced him to make the journey. On Saturday moning, in company with Mr. Hisle and a photographer, Mr. Smith wended his way as the farm to a secluded spotr^where sat the s m a l l e s t _ stic^htf| in which perhaps any man>ver lived—six feet long, three wideband three high, being s h a p e d l i k e u i e letter J A_ The photogjsftpher adjusted his machine, Mr. lisle called the hermit from his den, and the affecting scene of a joyous, vet sad meeting, was instantaneously photographed from life.- The heitmife proved^ o be Capt Leroy Smith, a native of Nova Scotia, who went to sea when a young man, grew to be a captain of a sailing vessel, made seven trips to Europe, sailed along the Mediterranean, visited Jerusalem and many other famous places in the Old World. His mind becoming deranged, he retired wilh his taaHlyr-to—Washington- couniy^JM aine, which lies next to the New Brunswickline, and escaped from there twenty years ago, since which' time he has not been Reen or his whereabouts known. His children are all grown, and they and his wife, possessed of a sufficiencj this world's goods, anxiouslyawait his return.

The Hatchet. A aallow-faced man, in a faded eitfnt dollar and a* half iuitoi clothes, entered the office of the third assistant examiner of patents recently and carefully deposited a square tin can on the desk, with the remark in a melancholy tone: "I've been a week coming, but I'm here."

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

The deeper the drain the purer will .cation, be the water that flows from it, unless it tv,0"n*, accidentally taps some deposit of soluble mineral matter.

This also would give cellars a better ventilation, as the air rising from it would be carried off in the chimneyr A cutoff draught shouldbeproyided to prevent the passage of cold air into the cellar during any freezing weather not quite cold enough to require extra fire in the cellar. If experience this winter does not impress upon farmers the necessity of planting rows octrees as wind-breaks, they are indeed incorrigible. A row of hardy evergreens planted so as to break the coldest winds from the house will be worth maay times their cost twenty years hence. Western farmers making homes on bleak prairies understand tl better than most Eastern farmers-seem to do. Here we began originally with natural wmd-breakjMtTthe original forest.

The White Star is one of the now varieties of potatoes that have fulfilled the promise they gave when first introduced. It is a very productive, smoothskinned, white potato of excellent quality, unlike many enormous croppers, which are coarse and soggy. It can bo had at market rates from almost any large grower of potatoes, and there is Uhemlstry a s a Profession. St. Nichola*. Chemists receive as a rule from one thousand to twelve hundred dollars a year. This seen: s small when we con sider to what expense a young man has been put to obtain the necessary edu- Sometimes, however, in a manufacturing house where he has made himself particularly useful, a chemist may receive eighteen hundred or two thousand dollers, and as superintendent of works he might get five or ten thousand dollars; but such cases are very exceptional. One reason why salaries are smaller in our large cities no reason why any farmer need pay not only as a "battle of th« breeds," but as an experiment in feeding, and if there is an advantage in improved breeds, as most good farmers believe, it will show what it is. For this purpose, and for a comparison of the improved breeds, we would prefer that there be five cf each instead of two. This would be more decisive, yet two representative animals will give much definite information without creating any unseemly strife between the breeders. 8ag;f eatlona on Tree Planting-. Very soon many of our readers will be planting fruit trees which have already been ordered from nursery agentsrand as very wuoh of success depends on the cream pot should have its contents stirred daily. This is partly to expose^ tho cream to tho air to allowj£-to oxygenize.

While.every grape vino must ultimately have a trellis, it is not necessary to make tho latter before or at tho time the vine is planted. The first year of growth a stake is all that is needed.

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

The fisrbt of the 30th of March at Ku»hk between Russians «nd Afghans can scarcely tail to brintf t)U a general clash. In the recent battle, news of which is just received, the Arfabans were the afrgre$sbrs/r They fired upon Russian picket^ and this led to a conflict, resulting in a victory for; the Russians. The Afaan force seffered severely. Russia has drawn first blood; but the blow was struck on the defensive. Earl Duffenn, perhaps, should be held responsible for this Afghan outbreak. He had .aroused the Afghans to a high pitch ot anger toward Russia. They were consumed with a desire to thrash the Muscovite. This demonstration at Kushk is the beginning, probably, ot a series of thrilling events which will determine whether or not Russia will be thrashed. A conference of "representative business men of the whole country'' will be held at Atlanta, Georgia, on the 19th of May. In the circular *4 invitation sent out by Mr. H. T. Kimball, Chairman of the Executive Committee, it is called a National Commercial Convention. The general object is to consider the most effective means to promote the business interests of the United states. Commercial and reciprocity trenti.es, a -Nationalbankrupt law* theeompiflsory coinage of silyerf^and railway transportation^8 ^ some of the subjects^ o^be^discussed. If int^lligeHt rna thoughtful business men, who really are representative of the great commercial classes, go to Atlanta and take part in the discussions, this conference will doubtless have agood effect in giving force to public opinion on important questions which will come before Congress next winter.

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

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

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

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

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

It is a hint which will liiely be made the excuse tor a complete withdrawal from the Soudan nntil e autumn, if riot forever.

At first—that is while he is a little baby and guided by instinct-- he will not do it, but kicks and yells until he gets his stomach full before hewill shut one eye. Then he cuddles down and sleeps like a top until he gets hungry agaki. When he gets big enough to be spanked, he is submitted to a severe course of training, which finally conquers his instinct,-and in de=^ nance of nature he can get to sleep Tidings from the nor to west on the 6th inst.

Several large bands of American Indians have left Montana and gone on the war path and are now on tho Canadian aide, hurrying rapidly northward to join the Canadians Indians at OeJgnry amd vidnity, and then proceed to Frinoe Albert to join Btil. The information Is oonfirmed by a dispatch from Fort McLeod, alxty miles north of the internitional boundary, near which the American Indians now are. Beyond a doubt, says the dispatch, s,tho Groa Ventres, 8outh Pigeon, and Blood Indians have croesed the boundary and are heading northwest. The South Pigeons and Bloods have formed an alliance. Rial sent his Indians somatim ago to the Gros Ventres Indians with pros-. ents of tobacco, which were accepted, and then the Indians pledged themselves to support Rlel, who has laid a deep conspiracy in which the Milk River Indians will play an important part 2 A dispatch, from Winnipeg of the 10th says: Word has Just been received irom Battleiord of'the [massacre of the white settlors at Frog Lake, north west of Fort Pitt, on the 8th.

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

Charles Beeoher, known as the writer of some of the most quaint and touching hymns in the English language. Another is the Rev. Edward Beeoher, a profound theologian, far advanced in years, and living in Brooklyn, where he preaofces from time to time. A third brother is the Rev. William Henry Beeoher, who is spending the serene years of mellow old age at his home, 6 I.lonore street, Chicago. Mr. Beecher is 84 years old, and, with the exception of the natural infirmities of age, is a hearty and vigorous old gentleman. A gentleman who recently visited Mr. Beecher at his home, found him in an exceedingly genial frame of mind and by no means indisposed to talk about the relief he bad obtained from the rheumatism, which for many years had been a source of trouble to him. In reply to a question, the venerable gentleman remarked: " Why. yuu want to know about Athlophoros. It is the greatest medicine in the world for rheumatism. I had suffered with that disease for fifteen years. My hands and my joints were swelled. I had much paid, and many sleepless nights. It took my pain away, and gave me power to sleep. Do not understand me say that my rheumatism is all |»one. It would be a miracle if rheumatism could be entirely driven away from an old man like me, who has had it for years. I have some of it left, and occasionally I feej its pains. Then I take more Athlophoros, and the pains are driven away. Even if it can't entirely drive out the cause of pain from a man who has had it so long, it takes the pain away and that is a great deal. Sometimes X had frightful pains at night, before going to bed. Then I would take ariose of Athlophoros, an d I soon find the pain all gone, so that I could enjoy a calm and refreshing night's rest. •'I believe Athlophoros will cure chronic rheumatism. I know that is saying a great deal for it; but I say it. A tough old case of rheumatism like mine is very hard to cure, I know. But see my hands; they are no longer ^ swelled as tbey were. I am free from T the pains 1 used to have. 1 sleep well, and what more can an old man of 84 askforP" Mr. Beecher's dsught^r cheerfully •confirmed what her father had said, and gave her„testimQnjM>o the great advantages he had received from the use of Athlophoros. For a number of years Mr. C. L. Wetmore, of the well known wholesale qlothing house of Messrs. Thompson ^ WetmoreTl^I and153 Fifth avenue, Chicago, was greaLly afflicted with rheumatism, which interfered not only with his personal comfort, but also with his ability to attend to business. He is now well. Calling on-Mf-. Wetmore, at his store jon Fifth avenue, the gentleman found - him'willing to converse as to his e x - periel^e in regard to rheumatism. "lam told, Mr. Wetmore, that you got rid of your rheumatism by the help of /Athlophoros. Is that true P Well, I had been for a long while troubled Jwith rheumatism, and I had tried almost everything in the line medicine, I may" fairly say that Athlophoros finished the rheumatism, and finally overcame it. Some of the other remedies had given me relief, which proved only temporary and incomplete. But it was not so with the Athlophoros. Since 1 have taken it I find that I have no more rheumatic pains, either to annoy me by day, or to interfere with my sleep by night My rheumatism was at times very severe. All my joints were swoll e n , and were very painful. I was de tained at home sometimes as much as a month at a time, suffering acutely and unable to attend to business. Now that Athlophoros has finished the rheumatism, I am happy to say that my sleep is good, my appetite is regular and healthy, and 1 am every dav attending to business.1' If you carnot get ATHM>WHOBOJ» of your druggist, we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle.

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

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

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

Will ought not to forget his years." Within the next couple of days a .change had_cojne over the little household. Miss Chester,~liTT unwittingly was the cause of it.

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

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

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

We are well aware t i a t there are many overtaxed, broken-dbw* women, who by kindness and lust appreciation might nave been saved and Deen altogether lovely and refined, making* their home like a Paradise before the fall. But we can usually find two sides to every question. So, on the other hand, we know of many broken-down men, dispirited, tired of life, because ruined by the frivolity, irritability, and extravagance of their wives, who they hoped would be their helpmeet through life, men whom a refined, sensible, loving woman * would have redeemed from a life of shame and misery, making them happy, noble, godlike. If weighed in a just scale, we imagine the rights and wrongs are about equally divided on either side. The directfulness of the human, left to roam wild and ungoverned, never seeking the peace and happiress of the partner they have chosen, hut their own selfish gratification, has changed many a man whose youth gave promise of nobility, into a reckless, u n - principled husband or an arbitrary, harsh, domestic tyrant On the other Hand, the same selfish indulgence and unregulated passions have also changed many a woman capable of shining in her appropriate sphere as a helpmeet—God's best gift to man—as a mother, a home-refiner into an irritable, fault-finding, unsatisfied, fireside torment But this is partially wandering from the main point We believe many are injured and much dissatisfaction and uhhappiness o c c a s i o n e d i m b o t h side* the growing disposition to travel fence; Jake took his stand on block, and Ed stood between.

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

It is instruct tion; it id teaching without words, often exemplifying moro than tonguo can teach*. In the face, of bad example, the best precepts are of but little avail. The examole is followed, not tho precepts.

J. L. NEWKIHK, EDITOR AKD PUBL»HER, t'lnckney Michigan, Thursday, April -lb, le*V Mr, Gladstone would possibly be provoked to a .declaration of war if Duke Alexia (should take a Russian iron-clad and go over and bombard London. St. Louis reporters are evidently desirous of making as much as pospossi ble out wfthe sensational hotel murder that occured there; now they would like us 1-.) believe th it Preller wasn't murdered at all.

Fish, the convicted baukpresident, is liable to imprisonment for five vears on each of the twelve couuts of the indictments brought against him —nraVitig the whole term sixty years. The conscienceless rogue merits the longest sentence possible; but Fish being an elderly man, perhaps the Court will graciously relax the rigor of the law and throw oft" six month* or a year. Notwithstanding the war-whoops of English journals and their expressions of entire confidence in ringland's' ability to wreck the armies, to commerce and credit of the Northern Empire, English capitalists it is asserted, a re 1 elul hi j? moneyto Ru ssia. This of course arouses thp wrath of the Jingoes. It certainly indicates a lack of patriotism, if not practical sagacity. At9:30 p, nr, onthe14th ofApril, 1865, President Lincon was assassinated in Ford's Theater. That pistol-shot ctartled the world and changed a Nation's glorious jubilee to mourning ane lamentation. Even after two decades of pence—a period crowded with events of absorbing in terest—the remembrance of that blackest of tragedies wakes anew the sorrow of twenty years ago. It is very probable that a war between Russia and England will ^tii up the people who are given to in terpretiug the prophecies of the Bible The Crimean war developed quite a formidable number of book: on this subject, and one of the be?: known of the English waiters clear)* and logically proved from the book of Daniel that many of the prophecie having been fulfilled in that great conflict between Russia and ths allied forces of England and Franc-, the world would come to an end in 1877 Of course, he must have made some error in his calculations, but in the event of another war the country lcertain to be. flooded with interpreta- -tiOMof the vague foretollings of tlie Hebrew prophets.

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

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

THB bill which was passed the other afternoon, will provo a terror to criminals. Mr. Boynton is its author. The bill provides that any man convicted the second time of either of the offences of burglary, grand larceny, horse stealing, robbery or forgery, shall be imprisoned for the full term provided by law. Upon the third conviction for either of the offences named heJs sent to the penitentiary for a period not less than 15 years. THK editions of The Century Magazine are now so large that it has become necessary either to go to press %t an earlier date or to postpone the day of issue. The latter alternative has been accepted. The April number, the edition of which was 225,000, was delayed until the 25th of March. The May number-edition,25O,000—will be issued on the 1st day of May, thus inaugurating with the first number of the thirtieth volume a change which has long been —considered desirable -by- Uio^m^blishers, and which it is believed will b9 heartily commended by the public.

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

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

Secretary Swank, of the American iron and steel association, thinks the iron trade has seen its lowest level and a period of improTement must set in soon.

Carr, President of the Blackweli's Dur« ham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. C. In every tobacco store in the United States, and in many foreign countries, lilackwell's Durham Tobacco is sold, and it is a wellknown fact that the sales of this Company largely exceed those of any other toljacco manufacturer. That such success lias Ween obtained is due to the energy, integrity and ability of Mr. Carr, who h;is so successfully managed tiie aflairs of the < 'oinpany. Such a letter as the following, wrilten by Mr. Carr to a personal friend whose only interest in the matter refoned to wa.s a desire to do a friendly act, is i-ert; iinly worthy of careful reading.

My sister was so encouraged from the use of this one bottle that I put her unon a thorough treatment of Athlophoros. I certainly owe you and Athlophoros a great debt of gratitude for the relief the remedy has given her. She has almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so much so that she .has stopped the use of' Athlophoros and considers herself well'." M;~ sister-in-law, to whom I gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia,shc had become unconscious from the pain—the Athlophoros relieved her entirely. I gave a bottle of Athlophoros to an initiate friend who suffered suehintenso pain in his head that he looked as if ins eyes would start from their sockets, and by its use he lias been greatly benefited, and tells me that ho received such relief from it that lie orders it by the box and keeps it at all timesiu his house— is never without it --can't aflbrd to be, this is the gentleman to whom I wrote.

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

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

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

The chill proved to be the forrunner of a very bad case of brain fever, with which disease he has been suffering ever since.

Dr. H. F. Sigler is attending him. It is with shame and disgust that we glance over the columns of the South Lyon Excelsior and find that our brother publishers of that sheet have accepted and placed in their columns an advertisement for the filthy Police Gazette, a piblication utterly reeking with foulness and shame and wholly unfit for decent people to handle. The advertisement itself gives the paper away; it says it will be mailed . "securely wrapped." Why thi< secrecy? The publishers of the Police Gazette know fub well that it is a disgrace for any one to take this paper, but they think by "securely wrapping" it they can induce two-sided people to subscribe for it, and the South Lyon Excelsior is aiding them in their nefarious scheme. "How much do the Excelsior publishers get, for the advertisement?" did you say. ter, from hilarity to sadness. She comes here not under the auspices of r.ny denomination, sect or society, but for the benefit and sole good of the people—a few ot our citizens having taken upon themselves the responsibility of paying her tee and expenses, which V e assure yon is no smaU amount. The admission—25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children under 12 years—is very low for an entertainment of this kind, and all who do not take advantage of this opportunity to bear one of Michigan's greatest elocutionists we fear will afterward regret it. About 100 friends of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen G. Teeple gathered at the home of the aforesaid worthy couple on Friday evening last to give them a joyous surprise and remind them of their happy marriage, which occurred just 20 years previous to that date. Although the surprise part of the affair was not carried out very effectually, this did not in any degree mar the joyfulness of the occasion. Refreshments of good quality and quantity were carried by the guests, but before they were partaken of Mr. Jas. VahHofh, with a few well chosen words, in behalf of the company, presented Mr. and Mrs. Teeple with a handsome China tea set. Then after a hearty supper games and amusements ruled the hour, all seeming to have their share of gladness and mirth'. Wheo the company returned to their respective h:>mes it was with many wishes of prosperity and future happiness to the host and hostess. As per announcement, a school meeting "was called on Monday evening lastand the house was well filled: Considerable was said pro and con oil the propriety of buildino- a school bouse and the site therefor, "but. much diversity of opinion was expressed! While the motion to hold an election to bond the district for $7,000 for building a new school house iand the purchase of a site was finally voted aown, we do uot take it for granted that the LEGAL VOTERS oppose the building ot a new school house. Virtually speaking, a majority of those who voted down be-question were either persons who have no children to send to school or illegal voters ot the district Those who are enthusiastic in the erection ot a school building are not in the least disheartened atthe result of the meeting, and we dare say there was not a person who sat on thjse hard benches Monday night but wished to the bottom of his heart he had a softer or more convenient board to sit on. The most itbsnrd pa/t of the proceedings was, -however, the motion to adjourn to the. Miss Sarah E.

TOTE VliKGI.MA BONO CASKS, The United States supreme court, has rendered an important decision in a group of cases known as the Virginia coupon tax eases, Jnvolving the validity of recent legislation of that state with referenced to . the payment of state taxes in coupons of state bonds, Tho decision was agAiust the «tate in favor of the bond holders ou all material points. The court holds that all legislation of the state which attempts to evade the obligation under which it rests to receive coupons of its bonds in payment of state taxes la unconstitutional and void because ib. imparts the obligation of a contract,, t h a t tho taxpayer, having •oncv made a due tender of coupons in payment of his mxee, isu n d e r n o obligation to pay such taxes in money, b u t may r e s i securely upon his right to have, the coupons received when OUV'ITU, and that tax. collectors who attempt thereafter toforcibly colLcrt such taxes by levying on the taxpayer's property is-not shielded by the legislation of the state, but makes tho "attemptsa t his personal peri). The court holds, furthermore, that a suit brought against tvtax collector for seiznire of taxpayer'* property after due tender of coupons, is"not H*suit, a'gainst the^ state, but te a suit against an individual tries- Ijassor acting without legal authority of the state.

I t waa on the Thursday an*u m© «Urival of the new lodger that Mr. Wylie, having dined, took a walk in the direction of the shops. On his return, Mrs. Dunning greeted him with/an expression of surprise: / "Law. Mr. Wylie, you look quite haltered; you've been and done something to yourself I" " D o you observe an improvement, Mrs. Dunning? ' the sub-editor asked, in a complacent tone. "Well, sir, you certainly do look a bit apryer." Mr. Wylie showed no offeffse at this criticism: on the contrary, it seemed to afford him satisfaction. Mr. Greeley, when his friend visited him in the evening, noticed the change i n his appearance. " W h a t have you done to yourself?" he asked. "Why, good heavens, Williaml" he exclaimed in a voice oi alarm, "you've had your hat ironedl" F o r answer, Mr. Wylie tilted bis h a t an inch or two forward in the direction of his left eyebrow, struck an attitude as nearly gallant as possible, and winked slowly with one eye. "William," said Mr. Greeley, with much concern—" William, what is the ^matter? You are not well." "Oh, yes, S a m , n answered Mr. Wylie in a jocular tone. " I ' m better than I have been for years. F o u notice t h e change, eh?" B u t Mr. Greeley waa neither pleased nor satisfied, He said very gravely: " W h a t does this mean, William? A m a n at your time of life does not have his hat ironed for n o t h i n g j ! ; " I had mine ironed xor sixpence," murmured Mr. Wylie^ x J " Y o u are flippant, William," replied his friend. " 1 speak not of pence, but of sinister motives." " W h y Sam. coaae, now, it wanted ironing you know," urged the sub-editor in a conciliatory tone. "William,1 ' replied H r . Greeley very earnestly: " i t has wanted ironing for years! w h y choose this particular time? Would you trifle with t h e affections of a young and guileless h e a r t ? " "Nonsense, S a m l " exclaimed Mr. Wylie testily; " w h a t oirearth has the ironing of a hat to do with a young and guileless h e a r t ? " " I speak in this way, William," replied the chief cashier, "because I observe a change in you. William, let me beg that you will enfler yourself to be guided by m e . " "Now, Sam, this is mot reasonable. I t is you who arechanged,and not I. You're not yourself to-hignt. ITeep• quiet andr recdver. I mean to have my hat ironed as often as I choose. Good-night, Sam." "Would William-Wylie behave traitorously?" mused Mr. Greeley, when left to himself. " I trust not. S a t why, then, has he had his hat ironed? I must observe him narrowly. B u t why should I? Surely the girl h a s eyes. Surely a hat that has been restored for the SUIT of sixpence, which carries the evidence of restoration on its front, could not blind her t o manifold personaidefects." Nevertheless, Mr. Greeley was ill at ease. He revolved the situation in his mind; he slept on it; and next morning, for the first time in seven years, went out without visiting-his-friend. asked him whether it had disagreed with him. "No, Miss Chester," he replied, speaking with difficulty; for his emotion over- Eowered him. " N o , it is not the strawerries." Miss Chester, expressed herself much relieved. " I say, Miss Chester," repeated Mr. Greeley, with increased earnestness, " i t is not the strawberry." *• Miss Chester again said that she was very glad, and asked if h&jgould take another. Mr. Greeley threw more tenderness than might have been expected into the assurance t h a t he had eaten sufficient, and Miss Chester, reiterating her thanks, swallowed two strawberries at once, and slipped away. On the landing, blushing and eager, was Mr. Wylie with his bouquet. "Flowers, Miss Chester; a few flowers," he said tremblingly. "They have a language; perhaps you know it. They speak from the heart—to the heart—of the heart. H e had learned a verse of poetry for the occasion; but often when the heart is fullest the memory is most treacherous: and so it was with Mr. Wylie. Miss Chester, partially laden with Mr. Greeley's strawberries, took Mr. Wylie's flowers with a modest, smiling " T h a n k you! Oh, how pretty! Will y o n n o t t ^ k e o n e for youreelt-and^—and wear i t ? " A n d she plucked a mossrose from the bouquet, and gave it to him. Mr. Wylie carried it to his nose, tasted its color, a n d was seized with a violent fit of t r e m b l i n g . — . — With the quick, tender instinet of a __wo_man, Miss cJhester imagined a'thorn or a surreptitious bee, and ventured on a timid inquiry. "No, Miss C h e s t e r , " answered Mr. Wylie; " b u t there is another kind of thorn, and there are bees in the " " B o n n e t ? " suggested Miss Chester,, with a sweet smile. " H a , ha! very good indeed. Miss Chester! I n the fconnet, eh? Yes, some of us, I fear, are afflicted with a bee in the bonnet." And Mr. Wylie threw a significant glance in the direction of Mr. Greeley's apartments. "Will you take a strawberry?" said Miss Chester; but was sorry the next moment, for the expression on Mr. Wylie's countenance was at though she had invited him to take a dose of arsenic. " B u t won't j o u go and put your rose i n water? o r it will fade," she said, anxious to cover the mistake which she perceived t h a t she had made. " A h 1 will it ever fade?" replied Mr. Wylie, feeling t h a t liis poetry was returning to him. "Oh, yes, indeed it will, ever so quickly I" said Miss Chester; "and so will 'mine, if I don't see to them at once." A n d she ran away up-stairs to her room. A n hour or so later, when Mrs. Dunning was ocoupied with Mr. Greeley's tea-table, she made a singular disclosure. G L . F A N J N G S . I know a little street, just wide Enough to hare a sunny side.

I t is my opinion that it is nothing under the sun, but a little misunderstanding that will be all right in the course of a few weeks; we had best not interfere -—yet a while a t least," says Miss Meridith, as she plied her needle in and out of the table cover she was embroidering in crewels. "But he looks so woefully depressed my heart aches for hint, and as for Lilian, she mopes when he isn't by, and when he is, she is entirely too gay and high spirited to be natural, by far, I don't see how the matter w to be 'righted* if one or the other of them don't apologize or 'explain," and Miss Moseby's voice, as well as hands, tremble, as she slipped one and took u p two' of the stitches on the bead purse she was crocheting. The conversation was held in a sitting- room off a large parlor in a fashionable boarding-house, and the speakers, Miss Meridith and Miss Moseby, were maiden aunts of the two unfortunates mentioned as being victims of a 'misunderstanding.' The affair in question was one of those erratic courses in- -to which t h e stream 4>f true lovo BO often runs. Kalph Meridith had met and fallen desperately in love with Lilian Mosebey t h a t winter, while dwelling under the samn root He was a student attending lectures at one of the colleges in the city, prepartory to taking his degree, and notwithstanding he had conjugated t h e verb in more than one language, many times before, he now for the firsttune understood what it meant when/he said: ' T e a m o .

Lil caught a glimpse of the sullen, dark, Othello-looking lover, and, it was in the nature of the woman, she smiled all the sweeter up in her partner's tace. "Didn't you know it?" said a voice behind Ralph, ' 'he and Mias Moseby were engaged when children." A keen sharp pain, like a knife through his heart, made him grow pale, and he staggered out into the hall. H e had believed so truly in her, and she was a heartless coquette! Engaged to this man trom a child, and giving no intimation of it, nay, luring him on to love her only in order to wound him to the quick at last! He hurried out of the house and paced the wide street until dawn, and from that time, as Miss Moseby had noticed, he had not been the same. Lilian b i d not seen him but once since. He ^ e p t o u t of her way^ H e was 'very much engaged in his studies,' he said to her coldly, when she met him on the stairs one evening, and asked him when he was coming in to hear her, sing again. "It will be 'Waiting." ' she said, with a tender smile and reproachful look. "I would prefer to h e a r ' B e w a r e , " ' he answered, going steadily up the steps.

" asked Miss Merdith, after her-friend had picked up l i e dropped stitcnes on her purse and was crocheting, vigorously again. He has done nothing to apologize for, In the middle of the day, Mr. Greeley took to himself an hour for luncheon, spend in J? it generally in an ancieat chop and coffee house near Cornhill, where he partook of a small steak and a halfpint of Burton, with the newspaper propped against the pepper-bottle, i n iront of him. and the head waiter at his elbow expounding the virtues ef the steak, or explaining many fraatty problems in politics and political economy. But on the day following the affair of Mr. Wylie's hat, Mr. Greeley, h a v i n r swallowed hastily threepennyworth or bread and cheese—a species of passover, which he ate, like a child of Israi with his loins girded, his shoes feet, and his staff (or urabretta') in his hand—took a twopenny^taus to Oxford street, and was ch^wrrhat the establishment of a weiKknowh tailoring firm, where, in-fche window, was a display of xeady-tnade garments; which offered re combined advantages of a large patten and a small price. ;His eyes was particularly taken by^t set of garments ticketed to the effect t h a t " T h i s kind of thing is in great request for honeymoons."

Their eyes met across the counter, but they would not recognize each other. I t chanced that Miss Chester came up the street immediately behind them, and the three proceeded in indian iile toward Mrs. Dunning's—Mr. Wylie in the van, with an immense and brilliant bouquet of flowers, the declining sun imparting a new glory to his hat; Mr. Greeley coming next, with his strawberries, and Miss Chester, all unconscious of the rent her .prettiness had made in an ancient friendship, bringing up flie rear. Mr. Wylie, being the first in the house, proceeded up-stairs with his bouquet. Mr. Greeley, following him. stood politely holding the door until the arrival of Miss Chester, to whom ha tendered his offering, with tho speech which was the nearest approach to gallantry that he ever made: "The person in the shop assured me they were gathered this morning, I—I hope that you will eat them all."

The month of March is h e r e , a m o n t h in which the oyster, in this latitude, issupposed to don its most appetizing1 qualities, and tempt the epicure to even more than his ordinary indulgence. Exactly how many of them it is possible for him to swallow at a sitting we won't pretend to say. Capacities vary in different individuals, and as t h e epicure is, of course, an individual, no definite number can be fixed upon aa his rule. Speaking of capacity in the oyster line, tl($ following story from t h e Caterer will bear repeating: Not a great many years ago a somewhat celebrated European prima d o n n a visited this country and, with h e r maid, took Up her quarters a t one of the fashionable hotels of New York. Hearing the American oysters praised so highly, she determined, on her r e t u r n to t h e hotel after one of her operatic performances, to give-t^em a t r i a l . Ringing for the waiter, she gave her order. " B r i n g oysters for one." " H o w many will yon have, Madame?" asked t h e waiter. " H o w many? Well, I a m very hungry and might possibly get through with a thousand, but a h u n d r e d will answer my present purpose. You may bring me a hundred to commence with." And taking up a newspaper she commenced scanning its contents, first giving a passing glance at t h e surprised expression that crossed the man'* face as he left the room, After a delay, which to the hungry prima donna Beemed needlessly long, a knock came at -the door. " C o m e in," and half a dozen waiters entered, in single file, each bearing a tray half-filled with plates containing Saddlerocks on the half-shell, quarters of lemons, crackers, etc. The secret of the servant's surprised look as he left the room after r e - ceiving t h e order, was now plain to tho lady. Her ignorance of t h e dimensions of the American oyster h a d been the cause of her perpetrating a practical joke at her own expense, a joke which she was now rather anxious to keep t o herself. Quietly dismissing the servant* with "Yes, those will do, you may go," she commenced and ended her feast, wondering how she was t o dispose of the dozens of great oysters t h a t still lay on the shells untouched. A moment of doubt, and she raised t h e window; then taking up the oysters one by one with her fork, she scattered them out through the window in all directions, continuing t h e operation until the hundred shells all lay empty upon t h e plates. Then ringing the bell for the servants; she sat down a t the table, and picked up her paper. The look of astonishment upon t h e faces of the servants when they entered and saw the empty shells fully compensated tho lady for the mistake she had made in 1 er estimateTbf t h e American oysters. " J a k e away these shells and bring me anotl^er hundred—stay, to-morrow will do" and the astonished waiters tiled out of the room with their load of shells and a high opinion of a prima donna's capacity for oysters. about n li'T own that the woman s a cti.on. heart l>e tone i<-\l man she lovos b.i; v.' :.

A little consideration, tempered with iustice, would probably put an end to the Riel rebellion in the Northwest a good deal sooner and at much less cost, both of men and money, than the plan which the Canadian Government is now endeavoring to carry out. No more bulletins-will be issued by General Grant's physicians. In view of the peculiar record they have made, it is well enough for them to desist from further efforts in that line. The public would be infinately better satisfiedwith bulletins from General Grant himself. Gen. Grant's affliction may be a cancer, but the case has begun to mystify the physicians and scientific men, and many doubts have-been-expressed as to the proper diagnosis of the disease. One thing is certain, however, the General has borne with great fortitude a very trying ordeal and he walks and rides out and stands as good a chance of living as many who have expected t<vattend the hero's funeral. If anything wrong has been discovered in the* Treasury Department, as the political busy-bodies allege, let it out. The people desire full information about the public service. It there were irregularities under any Republican Administration, make them known in detail and stop the gabble of gossips. It would be remarkabie- rndeed if no mistakes were made in con-ducting the.-vast_husine^ of the Treasury year after year. But such appears to be the Republican record.

A Detroit socialist is reported as declaring that the earth ought to be divided equally among all men. Both the United States and Canada offer to give each man rather more than his share, without cost, on condition of his settling upon a homestead and cultivating it; so there is no excuse or occasion for quarreling over this question on this continent. The difficulty with the socialist blatherskite, however, is that he is too lazy and unenterprising to take his share of the earth upon the condition that he shall work to make it valuable; but he wants somebody else's share, which other men's industry and enterprise have already made valuable. He is unwilling to go into a new country and help create cities, villages and farms; but he wants to steal by force a city lot and building belonging to somebody else, in a city already created by better, men than himself. If this sort of humbugs really ache for fighting, there is plenty of opportunity now to enlist in Canada, or England, or Russia, or France, or South America, or Egypt, or Central Asia, or China —in fact the chances are abundant nearly all over the world. And the neighbors are all willing to let them go.—Detroit Post. • » - - • - Russia is evidently determined to have a war with England, and is pursuing with the same policy she did just previous to the Crimean war. She had then spent several years in getting ready, as she has been doing since the Berlin Congress, alter the last war with Turkey. At one time there was every indication of a peaceable solution of the then existing difficulties, when the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, Count Menschikoff, son of Peter the Great's pastry cook's friend, demanded new concessions, and by his insolence to the Sultan and his advisers virtually forced them into a war, in anticipation of which Russia has been placing her forces at numerous strategic points. In was doubtless a surprise to her wnen the European allies came to Turkey's assistance, and she has never forgiven the English for the prominent part they took in that struggle. Russia has not until now felt able to contend with the British upon the field ot battle, but having made great preparations she seems detirmined not to let' the opportunity pass to strike a bio before her foe cait-bethorou g ed for the conflict.

The Russians -evidently wui.ied to deala telling blow to the Afghans. The attitude of the Afghans was studiously moderate, and there ts no color to the |i:eteusc that their movements were ever irritating. They allowed Russians to inspect their arrangements at Pul-I-Khistl. The following Is the basis of the compromise between Russia and Great Britain: Russia consents to an immediate meeting between Zelenoi and Sir Peter Lumsdeu at Pul-l-Khatun, Russia and England having agreed to limit the zone to be debated to the territory 4>ctwccn the Lessar line on the south and a line from Ak-Tcppe to Pul-I-Khatun on the north, excluding rSjl-I-Kbaturi'aud including Penjdeh.

How to Cure Be«& Our role, which we have followed for yean, is as follows: For every one hundred pounds of meat, take four quarts of fine salt, four pounds of brown sugar and four ounces of saltpeter ; a little s&leratus is sometimes added Mix all intimately, and when ready for putting down the meat, put a thin layer upon the bottom of the barrel; then pack a layer of meat and sprinkle thoroughly with the mixture; and so ou until it is all packed. With the?Juices of the meat, it makes sufficient brine. The meat should be closely pressed together by a good weight. In packing, we always pack the meat for drying in the same barrel, placing it on top and when "it HasTemalned four or five 'weeks;- or sometimes more, take it out for drying. We never lost any beef by using the above method and by frequently stirring the brine formed, especially in warm weather, it is kept in good condition as long as the meet will last, and our dried beef, we believe, iB as good as need be,— New Hampshire Farmer. •••• '• —• m Followers but not Husbands.

HORTON M'PG CO., Agents Wanted. Ft. Wayne, In& a © ° 3 Methods of Feeding Poultry From tho Country Gentleman. There is much written, from time to tone, about feeding fowls, and a variety of opinions exist on tl/o subject Observation teaches me that for one who has other things to attend to beside his poultry, the best method is to leave a supply of small grain (mixed) and shells always/ before hin flock, and to give, twice or thrW a week, from ' .September to April, a smaVl ration of meat, and, then snow is oprtho ground, a little cabbage cr onions, say twico a wc/<k. Komomber, I how write uoither for fanciers nor poultry-farmers, but for farmers and other poultry keepers who can hot give all /heir time to the hens. I have found lhat /hens, having a supply of grainbn haud, do not fill up and then idle about, a« many suppose they do, but they eat a few-'graina on coming off tho roost, then drink a'drop, bustlo about a bit,".scratch awhile, singtho ]ayiug..lijm.n, come back, eat* few grains, and so go aloug, healthj and happy, seldom overfed and never ujkterfed, for a lieu is .ub'glutton, unless Jiepl waiting until hunger makes her so.

Justice Sherwood, in an opinion concurring with Justice Campbell, holds that the proceedings as ' authorized by the Tax law, is not only a clear violation of the provisions of our constitutions, both state and national, butof the elementary principles upon which these provisions arc loundea. He insists that there is not due process 01 law In the proceeding. He is, furthermore, of the opinion that the presence of the tax commissioners in the legislature was a usurpation of legislative functions. He repudiates the suggestions of counsel for the maintenance of tax laws, "that it is the duty of the members of the court who do not believe the law "to "be constitutional to unite in a decision that it Is, where the members of the court are equally divided upon the question, on the ground that they have doubts or should have doubts, when in fact thev have none." Justice Sherwood concludes his opinion as follows: "The objectionable features of the law and the illegal manner of Its enactment have been generally and pretty fully described and pointed out. With these eliminations and such other needful changes as will readily suggest themselves to the legislature, I apprehend no difficulty will occur iii the euactment of a 1 general tax law which will meet tbe requirements of the constitution and the necessities of our people without depriving any citizen of his just anu legal rights. *, Hatchery at Aipena There are about 25,000 ery, and the m6st of Burglars entered the store ot Walling Bros, at the Junction, near /Jackson, a few 'nights ago, and carried off about $75 worth of goods, consisting of two overcoats, two full suits o'f flannel underclothing, some overshirts, two pairs of pants, cigars, tobacco, cutlery, a revblver and about $1.50 in small change.

" W h a t does Miss Chester do?'1 "Rides 'nssback in a circus, sir." Mr. Greeley let fall his meerschaum Sipe, which would infallibly have been roken had not Mrs. Dunning caught i" in her apron. " L a w , yes, sir," continued the landlady, " t h a t ' s what she tells me. Not likin' to see her go out of a evening and oome 1omo never afore 10:30,1 say to her, " D o you think it respectable, my dear, and me not used to such ways, no, n o r never shall bey' And then she up a n d savs, quite quiet and modest, t h a t she belongs to Butler's circus, which, from a child hup, she 'ave ridden the bareback 'oss, bein' the station of life t o whicli providence 'as called her; like- - wise short-*k4rts and-satia sheee, and h e r 'air a flowin' down her back." " A n d is this really the t r u t h , D u n n i n g ? " said Mr. Greeley. " W h i c h eight years come Michaelmas n e x t you 'as been with me, sir, and never, which well you know if, Mr. Greeley, found me anything b u t t r u t h - ful." "Of course I don't doubt your word, Mrs. D u n n i n g ; but it is a strange profession for such a girl as Miss Chester seems t o be. Butler's circus, do you s a y ? " "Yes, sir, they hacts close again J a m e s street, and Miss Chester's on in the! front scene, sir, which, being but young, t h e manager lets her, so as she c a n be 'ome and ahed a decent Christian hour. Y o u n g Mr. Butler, she says, always sees her 'ome, and sometimes comes to fetch her. I do believe this is the gentleman a'comin'up the garden." " A tall, good-looking young man knocked at the door and inquired- for Miss Chester. The next moment the young lady herself ran down-stairs, and a greeting parsed between them which, to the ears of Mr. Greeley . and Mrs. D u n n i n g , sounded a little less than brotherly and more than cousinly. " D i d you hear that, Mrs. D u n n i n g ? " asked Mr. Greeley, in reference to a certain pleasant noise that echoed softly from the passage. " W h i c h , thanking you, sir, I 'as my 'earing good," answered Mrs. D u n n - ing with dignity,,as though she felt that a kiss in the passage in-some way compromised her reputation as a landlady. " I should like this to be kept from t h e ears of William," Mr. Greeley aft e r w a r d s a i d t o himself. " B u t Mrs. D u n n i n g will certainly tell him; and w h a t then? H e will go t o this place. Well, I will go too." I t was Saturday, and at 7 in the evening an elderly gentleman of benign aspect, wearing an expressive suit of tweeds, purchased a pit ticket for Butler's, circus. Shortly Jifier ward, an elderly gentlem a n of mi i;l appearance wearing a r e - splendent hat a little on the left side of his head, purchased a ticket for the gallery. ..-— Mr. Greeley h a d left his circus days a long way behind, and found the perf o r m a n c e s in the ring anything but enlivening. He sat bolt upright in the front row of the pit, and kept his eyes fixed on the «?ntry by which he expected t h a t Miss Chester would make her appearance on the fiery barebacked steed. He had looked eagerly for her name on the programme, but found it not; and-was lain to console himself with the suggestion t h a t probably she played her Eart under another name. Presently e had an uncomfortable sensation that he was being stared at; and, looking up, he saw Mr. Wylie gazing down on"him from the gallery. Mr. Wylie's expression indicated a puzzled state of mind, and the eye which had not its visual power obliterated by Mr. Wylie's hat appeared to be fascinated by Mr. Greeley's new clothes. This made Mr. Greeley more uncomfortable still. The performance proceeded, but no Miss Chester appeared on any steed, fiery, barebacked, or otherwise. T h e r e were many young ladies with brief skirts and flowing hair, who piroquetted on prancing steeds, and leaped through hoops, and slapped the face of the clown, and said "Hoop-la" when ithe ringmaster cracked his whip;but among t h e m was not Miss Rose Chester. Mr. Greeley began to be aweary and to wish he were in oed. The hoof of the fiery steeds threw up sawdust in his eyes and the clown leveled his best joke directly at him. The performance was over,- and Miss Chester had not appeared at all. ~~ ~/ Sad and dispirited, Mr. Greeley left his seat and followed the crowd out of t h e circus. " C a n she be ill?" h e asked himself. "Can anything have happened to her? She was still yi the house when I left i t . " / T h e two friends met7 a t t h e outer door, b u t feigned not to see each other, and w e n t home by separate ways, Mr. Wylie getting in a little advance of Mr. Greeley. A cab was standing before t h e garden g a t e / w h e n Mr. Greeley reached it, and the circumstance, being an unusual/one at t h a t hour did not fail to strike him. A s he went up the path he encountered a man carrying a t r u n k , another unusual circumstance which alsomade its impression. " W h a t can this Jbe?" said Mr. Greeley, with a sense of sinking at the heart. Then a tall lady, dressed in black, came out of the house and followed the m a n with t h e / t r u n k ; After her—Mr. Greeley rubbed his eyes and pinched himself, there was no deception—walked iiss Rose Chester, flushed, but? with her pretty little head erect, and stepping with a n air of defiance. In t h e doorway stdocL Mrs. Dunning, remonstrating volubly. "Oh, you naughty, naughty girl, to go and deceive me like t h a t ! I ' m ashamed of you, I a m i " said Mrs. D u n n i n " I shan't hold my t o n g u e , " replied Miss Chester. "Good-by, Mr. Greeley." she said again, "and thank you ever so much for the strawberries, I've eaten them all." " I t ' s the cruel stepmother," thought Mr. Greeley, and wild notions of a rescue crossed his mind. B u t Miss Chest e r passed on following the lady in black. They reached the cab. the driver mounted to his s e a L a n d t h e horse dashed away into th£Aiarkness at the rate of t w o miles and athalf an hour. Mr. Greeley, in a state of the utmost agitation, hastened to the house* "Mrs. D u n n i n g , Mrs. Dunning!" he gasped, " w h a t is all this?" "Oh, sir! Oh, Mr. Greeleyl" wailed t h e landlady, "she've been and played on us, a young hussy; been and deceived us, sir, you and me and Mr. Wylie and all of u s ! " "Played on us! deceived us! Who has done this? What do you mean, Mrs. D u n n i n g ? " " T h a t young woman, sir; that M i s s ^ f e a t ^ almost-xralrof-her Chester^--Cruel stepmotfieTT^ indeed!

" B u t the circus, Mrs. Dunning, and —mid young Mr. Butler?" exclaimed Mr. Greeley, aghast. "Sir," answered Mrs. Dunning solemnly, "there ain't no circus, and there a i n ' t no Mr. Butler. Bare-back 'oss, indeed! Why, her ma says, to her belief, she've never been inside no circus in her life. And as for that young man —well, the less we say about t h a t young man, to my thinkin', the better, sir." " B u t why did she r u n away from h o m e ? " "Sperrits, sir, sperrits and 'igh j i n k s ; t h a t V w h a t h e r m a says."Says sTTecan't keep her at 'ome, nohow. A young parcel o' fibs and brass. I'd comb her *air for her, I would!"

Mrs. Dunning, Miss Chest e r deserves to be whipped!" " I shouldn't wonder if her m a would manage t h a t little business for her, sir," replied Mrs. D u n n i n g with much satisfaction.

By this time the downright old fools were clasping hands, and looking at one another a little shame-facedly and very affectionately.

V e r y shortly after this there stood on t h e table a capacious bowl, from which a gentle steam went up, and an odor of a sweet savor pervaded the room- L a t e r still, Mr. Greeley brought out his flute, and Mr. Wylie sang two or three dozen of the songs of his youth. T h e bowl was getting low when Mr. Greeley said: "There is a little thing by Longfellow, Will, which/1 think would be appropriate to the occasion.

She is going with those Fieldwicks, too, and Trevor always says Mrs. Field wick is fast. She certainly does paint and powder openly, as indifferent to criticism on that point as Lady Morgan; but she's an amiable woman for all that. Still, if I were Susetta. I should not seek her society, knowing Trevor's dislike to her. B u t poor Susetta is so fond of pleasure. It is a perfect mania with her. She always wants to be amusing herself, and hates quiet as much as I love it. I often wonder how Trevor a n d Susetta will get on if they ever do m a n y , for he is so grave and studious and she so giddy and flighty. He said to me ono day—how well I r e m e m b e r his words : "Addie, I wish your sister resembled you in your fondness for home. She always wants to be gadding about. I never knew such a restleaa-oroaturo To my dismay, it is from Trevor, to say that he will be witii Susetta that afternoon. Of course sin; will not be here to receive him.

He has been gone about a week, and Susetta has ad a letter from him every morning. H a p p y Susetta! What more can she w a n t since she has his love? It would not be much of a sacrifice to slay away from the races. home f "If she had only known coming back to-day," I say fully, "she would not have gone in that case, and all would have been well." "Don't yon bother your dear little head over Susetta'd ailairs." returns mother, kissing—van.—"^You'll h a v e enough to do if \ on trouble yourself about her. There never was such an obstinate, self-willed g i r l . " "But she loves T r e v o r , " I say, earnestly. " I dount it," returns mother, shaking her head, "if she cared for him she would be ready to make a greater sacrifice than stopping away from the races for his-sake." " B u t sho is so pretty, mother, and so fond of pleasure." "All the worse for T r e v o r , " retorts mother, who is deeplv vexed. "But since you arc so staunch in her defense, I'll leave you to make excuses for her. My head aches, and I am going to lie d o w n . " "But. oh, mother ! what can I say to h i m ?

" "Oh, mother ! d o n ' t be hard on our petted darling !" I say, and mother's face relaxes, and I see a smile lurking at the corners of her mouth; but she won't wait to see Trevor, nevertheless. Ho will look so bright and eager when he comes into the room, and I shall see such blank disappointment on his face us he looks in vain for Susetta— Susetta, who is enjoying herself at the races in company with those objectionable Fieldwicks. I go to the piano, but rise from t h e music stool in a very few minutes, and take up a book, then, throwing it down, begin to walk restlessly to and fro, for I can settle to nothing. Presently 1 hear Trevor Knocking at the hall door. I know his rat-tattat so well, and an instant later he is in the room, asking eagerly for Susetta. '•Was she not pleased to get my telegram ?" he continues. "She was far from home when it c a m e , " I say, trying to appear at my ease, "so 1 opened i t .

Trevor's nandsome face darkens, and his eyes flash ominously, as he says: "Adeline, she has never gone to the races?—she would not do that after what I have said. But you don't answer me. She has gone, t h e n ? " I am still silent, and Trevor begins to pace up and down the room in a He going to stick at home while other people are enjoying themselves.

Ko.untz, commander-in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic of the United States, has issued the following circular relative to Memorial day: HKAUO.IAKTEHS GKA.NU ARMY OF THrB r REPUBLIC, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, TOLEDO, 0., April 20,18851 General Orders No. 15. In accordance with rules and regulations May 30 will be observed as Memorial day. As defined by resolution of the eighteenth annual encampment, it will be kept sacred to the memory of our heroic dead. Let no idle merry- making mar its consecrated hours. Twenty years have passed since our last grand review. The death roll of years has add-, ed tens of thousands to the half million graves we left behind. The daily tolling bell, foe freshly knotted crape, the muffled arum, the slow and solemn procession, tell how fast our comrades join the silent ranks above. One by one a gallant leader languishes upon his couch of pain, and over myriads of homes the death angel hovers darkly. Hallowed be the day that brings such solemn thoughts as these. Our comrades sleep well. No tear can disturb their profound Rlumber; no perfume of flowers can make their rest more sweet. But wherever Memorial (lay is observed there rises a higher idea of American valor, a holier care for the men who saved the Union. / Let posts of the grand army everywhere assemble. Enlist all loyal hearts In an observance of the day. Let the women and children be invited..Let all who reverence the flag unite in the ministrations of Ioyality and affection. The custom of inviting the clergy to hold memorial services on the Sunday preceding Memorial day is again commended, and comrades should feel it a privilege and a duty to attend. Where there are no graves to gather around, be held. Where there are no flowers to wreathe , there still remainB that perfect flower of free- ' dom—the red, white ana blue. Above each patriot's grave may its benedictions fall. The flowers of love are immortal. Be it ours to cherish them in our hearts and let their fragrance All our lives.

The Russian citizens of this place and the missionaries are having some trouble, owing to the alleged encroachments of the missionaries on land claimed to be within the town limits. It has culminated in an injunction forbidding the missionaries to do further work until the case can be decided at the May term of the district court.

Russia appears to be disposed to entertain England's latest proposals—to submit to the arbitration of one of the crowned heads of Europe the question whether the convention of Mar ch 17 was broken by Russia. It is believed that the king of Denmark will be selected as arbitrator in the event of mediation being accepted. The London Standard says: "We are able to state upon unquestionable authority that the English proposal to Russia is for the submittal to arbitration of one of the crowned heads of Europe of the simple question whether or not the convention of March 17 was broken by Russia, This proposal is now under consideration by the Russian government." The czar has sent an ultimatum to Great Britain demanding that the latter shall accept Russia's proposed boundary line between Turkestan ana Afghanistan.' If Great Britain refuses to accept this boundary Russia will proceed to occupy Herat Lord Edmund FItzmaurice, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, announced in the hnn:» of commons April 28, that the governmeut had received definite and reliable information to the effect that the Russians were now in full advance to Herat He also announced that the report of the occupation of Maruchak had been confirmed. This point is 20 miles south of Pen jileh, on the Murghab river. The Standard, which published the report, stated that the ameer attached more importance to Maruchak than to Penjdeh. The-' announcements created a profound sensation, and juuch bitterness was expressed by the members.

A German named Adolph Hess, with his wife and ohiid, lived three miles from Concordia, Ohio. Hess, who was addicted to drink, went home drunk the other night, took an ax and severed the head of his child from the body. The head was found on the floor. Hess then beat his wife on the head until life was extinct. The room bore evidence of a dreadful struggle; the floor was smeared with blood; chairs were broken and bloody; finger marks stained the .wall. The woman's body, almost nude and horribly bruised and gashed, lay in a corner. Alter his bloody work Hess hung himself to a rafter. A DARING ROllBKHV. Shortly before the express train ou the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road should have reached Bloomiugton, a., man, having the appearance of a tramp, entere«\the express car from the smoking car, armed \ with a heavy hickory stick. In the express cisr were George K. Davis, the^xpress messt*ngcr, and Peter Webber the baggageman. The tramp struck Webber ou the beau felling him, while Davis ran for his revolver. B«fore he could reach it the man hit him also, and then, taking away the revolver, shot him in the head. He then made the baggageman open the safe and take out the money. The tramp then pulled the bell-cord and stopped the train, but first fired at Webber, the bullet striking him in the forehead. Webber succeeded in reaching the smoker and gave the alarm, but the/' solitary train robber msappeared in the darknesB. j Thi alarm was not given until the train reached Bloomlngton, when a search began. The amount stolen exceeds $1,200. Webber died the next day about noon, and Davis can not recover. AJTAU1S12! PANAMA. Advices from Panama state that the whole republic continues in a state 6f disorder. Every effort is again being made to render Colon inhabitable. Immense orders for lumber, houses, etc., have gone forward to tbe United States. A large number of war vessels of different nationalities are In Aspinwall and Panama, and with their men, combined with those already on shore, can easily repress any effort to create further disorder. Near Nciva a battle iias taken place between 3,500 rebels under Gen. Hurtado and a large force of Nunee's troops, commanded b Casablanca. The latter was defeated an wounded. Numerous, other engagements are reported but no authentic particulars are at hand. A letter from Carthagena says: "The rebels are said to have received lately a reinforcement of 500 troops and a quantity of rifles and ammunition, and propose, from last accounts, to commence operations against the citv." A system of signals has been arranged with the commander of the Powhattan, whereby he could land upon short notice &ome/bf his men to protect, if necessary, the American consulate and American citizens and their interests, and if desired, to also help out of way the non-combatanjs. ".-•- SOME POSTAL FIGURES, Third Assistant Postmaster-General has made a report of the effect during the first year of the reduction,of letter postage from three cents to two. He savs that the actual revenue for theyear ended September 30,1884 (the first year' during which the reduced rate prevailed), was $42,184,809, or $7,467,899 less than the estimated revenue upon a three cent rate, and the loss by the reduction of the rate to two cents was $523,100 less than the estimated loss. The immediate falling off in tbe issue of postal cards was 18.06per cent.amountingto 83,084,- 287cards. Crediting the extra revenue on letters from the loss on postal cards with $830,- 342 of the beneficial results of two-cent postage would leave* $1,967,592 to be divided between the benefits growing out of the increased number of letterl and the substltaitloh bXsealed circulars for open ones. He thinks the actual loss in revenue even less than this. In conclusion, Mr. Hazen says.:-^1 will only add that the results of.twon-ent postage have more than realized.tbe most sanguine expectations of its warmest advocates." He thinks that wheffiffie law making the single rate weight limit one ounce Instead of a half ounce goes into effect it will add to the revenues by inducing persons sending light packages to send them under seal instead of parcel rates. BLOWN TO FRAGMENTS. " A terrible catastrophe occurred in Galveston, Tex*sr-atha44-past-7-VckH.,k on the morning of May 3. Ope of tbe boilers at the Treraont Hotel exploded, instantly killing a number of persons and wounding several others, doing great damage to the hotel and neighboring property. The concussion from the explosion was appalling. The Treraont House is a large fivestory brick structure, 130 feet frontage on Tremont street and about the same depth on Church street. The boiler house was situated at the northwest corner of the building and was a small one-story brick structure attached to the main building. The explosion shook the great building with such terrible force that the guests thought a tremendous earthquake had occurred and ran panic-stricken about the hallways. A TENEMENT HOUSE HORROR. Eight persons were killed and fourteen Injured - just before 1 o'clock the other morning by an outbreak of fire in a crowded tenement on First avenue, near Tbirty-eigth street, in New York. The building is a new tenement hot^se standing alone next to a coal yard on the east side of the avenue. The ground floor is occupied on the north of the entrance by a restaurant kept by John Humphries, in the rear of which the fire broke out, and on the south side by John Burger, a saloonkeeper. The other four floors above are occupied by seven families, one suite of apartments being untenanted. There was but one dark and narrow hallway through the building for the use of the forty Inmates. The Are was discovered by Mrs. Koerner, who lives on the fifth floor. She smelt the smoke and immediately roused her son Jacob. She immediately rushed into the hall and shouted at the top of her voice. The whole house was full oi smoke, which was surging up in great black billows from the basement. Down stairs ' In the rear there was a bright light, which showed where the flames were cutting off the retreat. At the sound of the woman's voice nearly everybody in the house sprang out of bed, but they were all sleeping at the time. It did not take long for them to realize their danger, and without waiting to put on their clothing, there was a mad rysh of half-naked m e n ^ women and children, ^shrieking—and crying, for the street. The steep flights of narrow stairs,were blocked by the crowd. Men cursed and swore as they tried to push the women and little ones out of their way in that desperate struggle for life. At the bottom of the stairs they fell over one another, and a pile of human beings was formed in the twinkling of an eye. Several women lost their senses and rushed to the windows, whence they threw themselves to the ground, and one despairing mother, Mrs. Katrina Lemburger, 30 years ol(L threw her fouf-children out of a window,, and then wildly flung herself after them.' As soon as the firemen arrived they began to pour streams into the rear of the house and the flames were soon undep-control. PLEADING FOR PEACE. Alfred H.

A Hsm'i XttffttuUoa fir a Cow. Patrick Doyle h a s a c o w o n his dairy farm n e w Middleton, N . Y., w h o s e life is made miserable by a hen's singular attachment for her. F o r over a year the hen has beoa an inseparable com pan* ion of the cow, a n d spends a l l of t h e time, when not o n her nest or joining the other chickens w h e n thoy a r o f e d , perched on the c o w ' s back. There she roosts at s i g h t , whether the c o w m a y be in the barn, the barn-yard, or t h e pasture. T h e c o w does not approve of this close companionship, and is always trying to shake the hen off her back or whisk her off with her tail. The hon is always prepared for these attempts, and w h e n the cow lowers her head and shakes her shoulders t h e h e n trots along her b a c k ' b e y o n d the otYects of the shaking. If this brings her "within reach of a possible wlii.sk of t h e cow's tail, she watches it closely, and _atjhe first movement of that appendage she trots back again -to--a-place x>f safety between t h e cows horns. A t times the c o w will suddenly start on a dead run around a field or barnyard,• lowering her head, lashing her tail, and bellowing, as if to terrify the lien into taking her departure. T h e h e n will then scramble t o and fro on the cow's back to maintain her position, but the result of this manoeuvre on the part of tho cow is, nine times out of ton, t o force its unwelcome companion t o lly ofl. The c o w is no sooner at rest then the hen steals up and mounts ugnin to Her perch. This amusing scene is witnessed almost daily b y people w h o g o to the farm for the purpose. _ « » Another Annecdote of Gen. Grant. Capt. D. W. C. Lewis of West Chester tells the following little anecdote of Gen. Grant a s showing his capacity for organization and accomplishing things: In 1868 t h e graves of the soldiers at Arlington were to be decorated and Gen. Grant, then general of tho army, w a s present with his staff by invitation. It w a s the first time that the ceremony of decorating graves had been tried and there w a s no plan as to how it should be done. All sorts of plans were suggested, but none seemed to strike the party until Gen. Grant, w h o had been silently listening, remarked, "Let each man take t w o baskets of flowers, and, accompanied by t w o ladies, the work will soon be done " The general picked u p his baskets and started with, t w o ladies, thjd crowd accepting the idea and following him. In a short time the graves were all decorated. Capt. Lewis started with his two baskets, the ladies with him being Miss Chandler, the daughter of Senator Chandler, and Miss Matthews, half sister of Schuyler Colfax, and h e remarked, referring t o Gen. Grant, " T h e r e g o e s the next presic e n t " " W e l l , " said Miss Matthews, "if-±hat i s s a I hope myJbrotber will be vice-president." T h e Republican convention that year nominated Grant and Colfax. » The Old, Old Story. Why do w e hear so much about dyspepsia? Simply because so many people have it. \V hy are so many people talking about their cure from tnis dreadful disease? Simply because they have been taking Brown's Iron Bitters. Thus it is with Mrs. Taylor of Lynchburg, Sumter Co., S. C , w h o says, " I have used Brown's Iron f i t t e r s for d y s - pepsia with most favorable results. I believe this medicine is all that is represented." Dyspeptics, a n d sufferers from neuralgia, weakness, etc., should try it. Frozen Kindness, Dr, Holland: T h e world is full of kindness that never w a s spoken, and that is n o t much better than no kindness at all.

Just so in a family; love is what makes the parents and children, the brothers and sisters happy. But if:they take care neyer to s a y a word about It; if they keep it a pro- Tound s e c f e f a s lf^iTwefeaTcrlmc, they will not be much happier than if there w a s n o t a n y love among them; the house will seem cool even i n summer; and if voir live there you will envy the d o g w n e n a n y o n e calls h i m poor fellow.

D. L. Southard, a geriUeman, well known throughout Indiana. Among other honorable positionwhich he hold* i i that of Trustee of the De Pauw Univeraity. Mr. Southard is a brother-in-law of Bishop Bowman* of the Methodist Episcopal Chnxch. For many years Mr. Southard was a martyr to rheumatism in its most afflictive form. U p to July, 1883, he was nearly helpless, and could move only with great pain. At that time Bishop Bowman, hav- i mg seen how greatly the Rev. Mr. Keely, of Indianapolis, had been relieved by the new remedy, Athlophoroi, brought Mr. Southard a bottle of that medicine, and advised him to try it. £ J Mr. Southard's experience, resulting from his trial of AthJophoros, was thus stated at a recent interview. Buhop Bowman happened to be visiting Mr. Southard at the time, and tjieexchange of ideas and opinions as to rheumatism and the ra^IcirYeniedy^for it, Iras free and pleasant. Said Mr. Southard : " I had for years been suffering with rheumatic pains. My arms and legs were swollen, and the pain was sharp and constant. I was unable to dress myself, or even to put on my stockings. My wife had to lift me and turn me in bed. Bishop Bowman brought me a bottle of Athlophoros. , I hardly dared to hope for any beneiit from it, for I had taken so many medicines. C* " I bo^^n to take the Athlophoros first as directed. At that time I was suffering frightful pain. In a few hours there was a remarkable change. I broke out into a profuse perspiration, and had a strange feeling of relief. In a few hours more all my pain was gone. I could stretch my legs and move my joints as I had not been able to for a long time. It seemed wonderful, after all my experience, that any medicine could have such effects. I feared that this was of such power that it would go to my vitaT~parts~ahd "end my life. Knowing not what might be the result, I quietly prepared myself for the final change and calmly awaited it. But instead of putting an end to me the Athlophoros only Sutan end to the pain. What a new and elightful experience it was to be without painl f j "I gave a letter to the Athlophr>roaconcern, which was published. It brought me a great many inquiries by mail from various parts of the country. T wish I could show you some of those letters, but I was clearing out my desk the other day, _and_I_destroyed the whole pile of them. One was frorrTa man in Winchester, In—j-. diana, whose wife was suflering agony, I directed him where to get the medicine and it Boon made her well. The wife of Prof. Gobin, of the University, was suffering with rheumatism, and Athlophoros cured her, as well as a good many others. "At times I would have return of my rheumatism, but nothing like that I formerly h a d ^ E a c h attack was lighter, sj) Each time I fought it with Athlophoros, _nd got the better of it. Now-4-have for a year enjoyed good health and free-lorn from pains. I took in all ten or twelve bottles of the medicine, and if I were again to be attacked by rheumatism would take more. Bishop Eowmar^-pn hping asked "was the relief which Mr. Southard experienced more than you had expected?" replied: "Certainly it was, for I bad not expected anything. J bro^hi him the Athlophoros because I had p*-en that it had done so much good to Mr. Kctly and othen in Indianapoli' s j U Fcen.cd a last resoi-t, for Mr. South..,,i's case was such a severe one that I had little or no hope of even giving him relief. But Eecir.c? the or^npleteness of his cure I have recommend; i the medicine to others. I have not had occasion to use it myself, for I have not had rheumatism and am in excellent hc;\:th. Of all-"" those to whom I have recommended"^ I have heard of only one instance in which decided benefit was notjjaiffed. I consider Athlophoros a w^^rerful medicine." {p If you canjMr^et Arni.orHOKOS of your dr.i;,*- glst, wejwiu !-oin"i It express paid, ou receipt of repihffprioe-(i!ie.![).l,ir-per untile.

It has been now about seventy days since the liquor suit in this village, resulted in tho conviction of the offenders, who passe'd fifty days in Mason jail. Those seventy days have been days of sobriety, and some of our citi zens have had no occasion to use their night keys to obtain admission to the family residence. During that time not a drunken man has been seen upon the street, and we doubt very much whether in fact one has been seen in the village, and yet in the tace of all this there are those who want to open a bar in this town.

Then the snivelling cry: " W e \ '& are not the only paper doing advertising for the Police Gagette." Bosh! Wnat has that to do with the matte Do you expect to be pan|pBelf for your sins because o t j i e r ^ o p l e have committed the,. s? You know betkrter; con>mon sense teaches you that is no argument. You dare n o t deny it was against decency to publish the advertisement and t r y to make excuses because same other publishers were as indescreet in the matter as you were. If the Nunda Publishing Co. is a fraud it is a fact of whioh we have heretofore been innocent. We took particular paint to write to C. H.Sanders, postmaster at Nunda, N . Y.t and he informed us that said company was all right. We think therefore"there is a vast difference between the t w o "ads." You know the Police Gaaette contains filthy advertisements a n d filthy reading matter which should never come betore the eyes of t h e young, for you had a copy to examine, while in our case if we published a fraud ad. it was through ignoranoa and not ior any desire to have on* readers spend their money Cor m l which would do the no. tnore harm i t a * good. / - * ' _ ^ - 3 ^ ^ \±&k^ 'y&ssvj?^?*y g^fc^slfisisi m^w""\i\ «••*• TO CORRESPONDENTS.

About 9 o'clock ou the morulmj of May 5, the root and a portion of the wall* of a large building iu Brooklyn, S. V., fell In. A dozen manufacturing tirms had portlonsof the buildiug aud employed altogether several hundred hands, chiefly young women, all of whom were at work in some of ttie five stories of the building. As soon as the crash was heard and before an alarm could be sounded the inflammable, tinder-like woodwork of the exterior was ablaze, aud the first firemen who arrived found many of the panic-stricken female operatives crowding aud shrieking wildly at the windows which opened upon the interior area of the works. Their retreat had been cut off and the firemen quickly ran up the ladders, but the girls were hemmed in and many fell back into the flames before help could reach them. The iuttammable character of the building hindered the efforts of the liremen It was ascertained that the engineer of the factory, Daniel J. Lowry, was one of the victims He was killed by the falling of the wesT v\an oFtbe iuIbTtTle wing Oh Attantle-ave. The cause of the fire was the overturning of the boilers of a soap factory on the second floor The west wall of the middle wing, on Atlautic-ave., had settled; workmen were screwing it up with jacks; the middle jack had been screwed up too high and it was lowered, wheu the, whole weight of the wall came upon the t w o ' jacks at the end, and it fell with a crash.

Third Assistant Postmaster-General has made a report of the effect during the first vear of the reduction of letter postage from t^ree cents to two. He says that the actual revenue for the year ended September 30, 1SS4 (the first year during which the reduced rate prevailed), was $42,184,S09, or $7,407,899 less than the estimated revenue upon a three cent rate, and the loss by the reduction of the rate to two cents was $,533,100 less than the estimated loss. The immediate-falling-ull in the issue of postal cards was is.00 per cent,, amounting to S3,034,- 2S7 cards. Crediting the extra reveuue on letters from the loss ou postal cards with $830,- 342 of the beneficial results of two-cent -postage would leave $1,907,.592 to be divided between the benefits growing out of the increased number of letters and the substitution of sealed circulars for open ones. He thinks the actual loss in revenue even less than this. In conclusion, Mr. Hazen says: "I will only add that the results of two-cent postage have more than realized the most sanguine expectations of its warmest advocates." He thinks that when the law making the single rate weight limit one ounce instead of a half ounce goes into elfect it will add to the revenues by inducing persons sending light packages to scud them uc ler seal instead of panel rates.

An April day, the sky all dappled with silver-shining clouds, while bright sheets of rain seemed to braid themselves with the sunbeams, and every gust of southward-coming air seemed lull of vague scents of violets and daffodils, and grass growing green on sunny hillsides. Hiram Lacy sat by his city window, where the sweet air lifted the silver hair upon his forehead, and thought longingly of the departed days wKe ho dwelt under his own vine jyad fig tree, and watched the dajiefhg sunbeams with greedy eyesV "Marian!11 he^said, in his feeble, piping voice-r^Blarion, don't you think we mjgfaf have a little yyalk in the ,parK this afternoon ? The air is so 'mild, and I'm so tired of these tour walls.'1 Marion Lacy looked up from her desk at the farther end of the room. She was a slender, pretty girl of seven or eight-and-twenty, with large, soft hazel eyes, brown hair, and pale cheeks. "By and by, dear father,1' she said, fjently, "when the snn gets a little owcr." And once more she eagerly resumed her writing, tho pen flying swiftly over the smooth surface of the paper, as if it were winged with magic speed. Hirmni Lacy turned to his wife, who sat patiently sewing opposite him. "Wife," said he, "the apple trees will be in blossom at the old farm soon. Don't you remember how the white leaves used to shower down on tho ground like a snowstorm ? The old farm—if I could but have ended my days thcro !" ho added, with a weary "sigh. "Hero I'm a poor, weakly old man, and nobody nurses me or cares for mc iiy tho city whirl—but there every troe rs a friend of mine, and tho tfery wind anions the branches sounds familiar in my cars !" "Jt's no uso thinking about old tinfes, dear," said' his wife, sighing almost inaudibly. "If I could culy have been contented to let thoso oil speculations alone." resumod Hiram, eagerly; "or if 1 could have bought them a m o n t h - only a month—earlier! But I was mad —and we aro ruined! The landlord was hero this morning,, persecuting us^becauso tho rent of the room was not paid. I never thought I should come to this, Huldah!" His wife made no reply. Marianstill wrote on, her brow slightly contracted. "Still, we should have done well chough," went on poor old Lacy, "if Marian could have made up her mind to marry young Deforest! Ho is well off; wc old folks could have had a home with him, with onr feet on the green grabs'; and God's pure, clear sky above our heads. It's not too late yot, lass. Deforest was here yesterd- ay when you and mother were gone down to those musty old newspaper offices. You'd better think of it, my girl!" "Marian looked up, tossing back the drooping hair from her brow. "Father," she said, pitifully, " I have told you that I do not love him!" "Love! love!" echoed the old man sneeringly. "Love won't boil the-kettle nor buy a gown! I thought you had outgrown the age of school girl sentiment!" "I hope 1 shall never outgrow it, father!" answered Marian in. a low voice. "And while you are waiting for love to grow up in your heart your poor old fathor and mother may pine their lives out in this city-smelling den!"

If she were—O bright, impossible if—ovary sacred fire of her nature was "burning on the alter of this book, into which she was interweaving the tenderest fancies of her soul or brain; oh, if! /V And Marian grew paler and more absorbed day by day; and her mother watched her with wistful, silent care, and old Hiram fretted on with the incoherent plaints of old age, and the summer ripened into golden fulness, under beamy moonlight nights and the glow of tropic days. "It'sgetting warm weather," groaned old Hiram, "and this Croton water isn't lit for a dog to drink, let alone a Christian. Oh, if I could only have a drink of water cut of the old well under the garden wall! It used to be as cold as ice when the sun was at its hottest. I dreamed last night of standteg'beside that well with t h e - old" bucket brimming over and the wild roses hanging over the cunl, all in a tangle, as they used to grow!" "Father," said Marian, wno had just come in, with cheeks unwentedly rosy and a light sparkling deep down in her eyes, "shall we all go, you and I and mother, for a nice, long drive in the country this afternoon?" The old man's face lighted up for an instant, but it fell again. "We can't afford it,11 he said, testily. "We are poor. Carriage drives costs money." "But I have earned a—a little money from my book," began Marian eager- "Book, indeed!" laughed old Hiram. "A pretty book you'd write. But we*l| go, if you can afford to squander the money of your old father You've been very close with ^yolfr money of late." Marian'scheeks glowed at the undesereryttdlaunt, b«t she did not reply. ^--'"•Father's not well," she said tonerself, "and he's old and irritatable^-and this hot weather frets him. He will be better when—" And there Marian's reverie stop ped.

"I thought you would like to see the old place again, father." It isn't ours any lorvger!" he groaned.

Marian pursued the argument no further, but her mother's gentle, encouragrng glance, as she looked up, mutually testified that she had at least one tender sympathizer.

"Her book has been published, and it was a great success, and she took the money to buy the old farm back for her lather and mother to end their days in." Old Hiram was silent for an instant; then he laid his hand on Marian's bowed head. "My daughter," said he, "you have kept the fourth commandment, and God will bless you for it in His own good time. 1 never dreamed of this —when—when I was so cross and unreasonable with you. But who is this?" as a shadow crossed the threshhold, and a tall, noble looking man entered from another door. "One of our new neighbors, perhaps; there have been many changes since I lived here." "No, father," said Marian, growing as rosy as the elms pinks in the garden outsido; "it is Mr. Arden, one of the publishers of tho new book." "I'm glad to sec you, sir," said Hiram Lacoy, with old fashioned courtesy, "and I'm glad you like my girl's writings." "I do, sir, very much," said Mr. Arden, Frankly, "and, moreover, I like tho girl—so well that I am here this afternoon to ask yon to give her to me for my wife.." "What does Marian say?" asked tho old man, after an instant of bewilderment. The Egyptian Fellah. The fellah is not the owner of the soil, but merely a laborer under a matter; just as the same class of men were three or four thousand years ago, under the mighty* Pharaohs, so are they now. The fellah formed part of the estate, and if it were sold, then the serf, not as slave, went with it, for he was under direct protection of the law; his master had no power over his life, aslformerly in American slavery. Each serf had the liberty to appeal to Pharaoh himself, whether the petitioners' were workmen or tillers. Both were serfs, the tiller of the ground only bearing the name of "fellah." A papyrus, now in the British museum, thus describes the bitter life of the fellah: "Behold the humble farm laborer. His whole life is consumed amid the beasts of the field. His strength is spent in tending the vines and the hogs. He seeks his food in the fields. If he is well, he is well among the cattle; \t he is sick, he lies on the bare ground in the midst of the herds." Before the days of Rameses the Great, supposed to be tho Pharaoh of Joseph's time, regarding the husbandman the following is the treatmen narrated tby the scribe Amenemapt to the scribe Pentaur, the original being also in the British museum: ."Consider the condition of the husbandman. Ere it is yet harvest time, the worms, the hogs, the locusts, the birds devour the growing corn; and if he is not vigilant the little that remains is stolen bv thieves. D'The tax collector waits ^tT the quay to claim the tithe of-his harvest when reaped. The-'doorkeepers are there with thejr-sfaves and the negroes with their" palm-canes. They cry, 'Give-lip thy corn!' If it is lac*- ingviie is flung down, bound, and ragged head downward through the canal. His wife is manacled before his eyes. His children are strangled; his neighbors, occupied in their own harvest,7abahdbn him to his fate." This tyrannical mode ofgt>vernment4s-sttid to have originated with Cheops, the founder of the first and largest pyramid. Three thousand years have passed away, and still the same usage of the husbandman, or small farmer, remains. "The tax-collector still awaits the corn-barge at the landing place, the bastinado is still wielded by his negro assistants, and the wretched defaulter is beaten, cast into prison. and tortured to this day." /Three .thousand years ag* the weaver's fate tyas as bad as that of the husbandman. "The weaver, imprisoned/ inside the house, is more helpless jiian a woman. He sits crouching, his" knees higher than his heart. Ile^tastes not the free air; If, for a single d a y / h e fails lo weave the prescribed length of stuff he is bound with cords, like a bundle of the marsh/lotos. It is only bv bribing the doorkeeper with gifts of bread that he gets to look,out upon the light of day."' There was\one thing, however, that the oppressed workers of Egypt had in common w\th their taskmasters of every. rank.\ The dead bodies were mummified, although in a cheap and careless manner,/"sometimes inclosed in coarse baskst^work, sometimes wrapped in palm frands laced with palm-fiber, the only relics buried with them being a knotted cord/ a pair of straw slippers, and a toolpunch; and with the fellah a pick and hoe; and these mummies of the humblest class are found lying side by side, layer above layer, in enormous common graves." The singular tuft of hair on the head of the Egyptian men and children of the present day professing to be followers of Mohammed is described by Josephus to have been the practice of the Phoenicians, who used to shave the head, leaving only a lock on the crown, but for what pur- •pose is unknown.-- Ladies'* Trwsuni.

Sun. * Pbj»Ical Conditions Brought Into Harmony * with the Bible Narrative. ..The quarterly statement of - the Palestine exploration fund for April of this year, says The, London Post, contains an interesting article by Prof. Hull, of Dublin, on "The Relations of Land and Sea in the Isthmus of Suez 'at the Time of the Exodus," wherein he deals with the question of the actual position of the passage pf the Red Sea by the children of Israel. Prof. Hull justly remarks that, according to the present position of land and water, {there is a direct land way across into the wilderness of Etham, and he asks whether, if at the time of the exodus the physical conditions of the district north of Suez had been the same as they are now (of course be disregards for Jthe moment the existence joiLJthe Suez canal), there would have been cause for the cry of despair from the Israelites, or the necessity for the stupendous miracle of deliverance such as the bible narrative relates. Ho thon proceeds to show that tho beds of sand and gravel containing shells, coral,and other marine forms now existing in the waters of the Gulf of Suez (which beds are found on oither side of the gulf up to at least two hundred feet above the present sea level), form complete evidence of the elevation of the whole land area of that particular region, but that this elevation must nave taken place at a time long antecedent to that of the exodus He points out what is true, that if at the time of the exodus an elovation of not more than from twenty-live to thirty feet had remained to be effected, the land now forming the southern part of the Isthmus of Suez would have been submerged, by the waters of the Red s e a / and he regards it as in the highest degree probable that as the time "when the exodus, took place the waters of the Red sea extended northward, up the valley at least as far as the Bitter lakes, producing a channel twenty to thirty feet in depth, anol perhaps a mile in breadth; a terrible barrier to the Israelites, and sufficient to induce a-cry of despair froni the whole multitude." Having quite recently traversed the whole isthmus, making a special examination of the portion between IsmaiKya and Suez, the following incident, which then occurred, appears tobe worthy of notice, inasmuch as it is eminently corroborative of Dr. HulT/S7 view: While engaged with other members of the international commission upon the investigation'of "various matters connected with the question of improving the Suez canal, some of our party landed from time to time, and on one occasion at a point between what is now the north end of the Gulf of Suez and.the south of Bitter lakes, not, in fact, very far to the north of the bridge of boats by which the pilgrims from^Mecca cross the canal. Desiring to.test for myself the character and hardness of the unbroken ground at this point, and a height ot about twelve or fifteen feet above sea the lirst stroke of a pick turned up from three inches below the surface a thick cake of-a- dull white substance, which at the moment appeared to be gypsum, and, while stooping to take it up; I remarked accordingly, but simultaneously a colleague who was standing at my side exclaimed, "Salt!" On asking^ him how it camo to pass that he so instantly arrived at this conclusion, he replied that the whole district thereabout was full-of-^such salt. When it is explained that this gentleman had the engineering charge of a considerable length of the Suez canal at the time work was in course of construction, and consequently had-thus acquired an intimate knowledge of this district, and also that on testing the ground at other points thereabouts I found skit existing below a thin covering of sand a t heights considerably above the sea level, there is ample warrant for saying, as I have done, that the extensive existence of salt in this form, and at such a height, can not bo regarded -othefwtefT than as a proof that the w»tet6 of tho Rod oca did at one tinjio^xtend as far north as tho Bittej>-lakes. A specimen nearly an inchi thick is before me as I, write. / Further evidence that at some period antecedent to the formation of the-^uezcanal the sea extended as far up tne isthmus as the Bitter lakes is found in a remarkable sample of salt which was cut from the bottom of the Bitter lakes by the engineers of the Suez Canal company before the sea was let in to effect the completion of the water communication between the northern and southern sections of the work. This block of salt to which my attention was directed by M. de Lesseps, is preserved in the court-yard attached to the offices of the canal company at Ismailiya. It is fully seven feet in height, and, according to M. Vosnil Bey, v h o at the time it was taken out acted as the company's chief engineer in Egypt, salt certainly existed to a still greater depth, but to what precise extent is not known. I may hero mention that, while passing over the 1,500 miles from tho Straight of Bab el Mtndeb fo Suez, the water of the Red sea is so far changed by evaporation that samples taken from tho surface at Suez have been proved to be nearly two parts in 1,000 saltier than those at Bab el MaJfcteb. It should be borne in mind, moreover, that an -exceptionally great amount of evaporation would necessarily take place within such a comparatively shallow island basin as that of the Bitter lakes, having its surface swept by the hot, dry air of tho Arabian desert, and shut ft from tho Mediterranean by the high backs of Serapeum immediately to the north, or, at any^pate.to the still higher ridge of country at El Guish. These conditions would obviously contribute to the formation of such a remarkable deposit of salt as ifr found in the specimen-above described. VA peculiar feature in this specimen is the presence of a thin layer of sand, most probably caused during the prevalence of violent southerly winds, which, from time to time, raiaethesea level of Suez nearly three feet above that of an ordinary sp/ing tide in calm weather. The'strong current to the northward on such occasions* would be sure to carry a considerable quantity of sand into tho Bitter lakes, sufficient,. it may be assumed, to account for the layers of sand in question. The facts to which 1 have here called attention appear to me unquestionably to coofirm the view entertained by Prof.. Hull. Feeling with him that, according- to this--v4ew-, the phyaieai condi- • tions at the time of the exodus-will be brought into harmony with the bible narrative, and that the difficulty whieh which has hitherto surrounded the subject of the passage of the Israelite* through the Red sea will thus have been to a great extent removed. I have ventured to send you the result of my own recent personal observations, in the hope that the interest of the subject raav secure a place for thisletter in your columns. . » i Frost Preserves Them. "If your garret or loft is only cold1 enough, there isn't anv reason in t h e world why you shouldn't treat your friends with plump, full-flavored 'Rhode Island greenings, Baldwins, o r any other choice apples, just as well next; June as you did last Christmas,"' sajd a Washington-street commission merchant. ''IlLhave last year's Baldwins, and I don't know but last year's freenings, as sound as a knot, in my ouse next summer, in the same dish with this year's harvest apples; yet nine out of ten people would have thought these same apples were ruined two months ago, and would have treated them accordingly. Why? Simply because they were frozen." "Doesn't the freezing of apples spoil them, then?" asked the reporter. "The general opinion is," replied the merchant, "that after an apple freezes its value is gone; but the factis that just the contrary fs the trtithv~ Let a barrel of apples freeze in the fall, and keep them froze, or, rather, do not disturb them, and in the spring they will be in the very condition they were when taken from the tree. Baldwins, and, in fact, all favorite eating: apples, do not have their full flavor nor mellowness when packed in the fall. They ripen in the barrel, and are at. their best m January. After that they begin to decay, and when „March comes they are few and tar between, those that are left being the resultof especial good care and attention. -. "If they are frozen in the fall, however, the ripening process is checked. The vitality of the apple is simply suspended, and it only needs proper treatment to restore it to its natural action. The trouble has always beeo that when a barrel of apples was found to be frozen it was rolled off at once to a warm place and subjected to a rapid thawing. S >me people take the apples out ot the barrels and plunge them into col I water ,to draw the frost out. The result is a flabby/ flavorless fruit, really not worth theroom it occupies, and subject to speedy decay; all because of popular ignorance. A frozen apple is one of the most sensitive things in the world. Touch your linger upon it, and when*" the frost is thawed from the apple, thespot touched will bo a mark of decay/ which spreads rapidly over the fruit. "Therefore, if you ever find that your barrel of Baldwins is frozen, heat it gently. If the apples are thoroughly frozen the barrel will not be full by nearly a peck, so much has the fruit contracted with the frost. It would be impossible now to move the barrel without ruining every apple in it. So, if it stands'where it will not be subject to sudden warmth, and. thus thawed out rapidly, lei it aland.—Cover the applejs up where they will be kept dark.. Then go away and let them alone until spring comes and draws the frost out of everything. Then uncover -your apples. It may startle.you, but you will find the barrel full to the ! head with the plump fellows that were ( rolled into your house in the fall, ami which were a sorry-looking lot of wrinkled, shrunk-up fruit the last time you saw them. "If the'y/were assorted apples when packed you need not pick them over, for they wilKbe just as sound and hard as they were in November.

NEWKIKK, EDITOR AND PUBLISHED Pinckney Michigan, Thureday, May 14th> lrts">- PRICE LIST" O F The eruption of Vesuvius is subsiding; but we see no indications of a subsidence of the eruption in the Democrat party. It has thus early begun to appear that American tourists in Europe will be scarcer than usual this year, owing to the probability of an epidemic of trfaulery, spreading "from -the Mediter-- ranean shores. The Mormon bill of rights recently read and adopted at a mass meeting in the pest house of Salt Lake C i t y - called the Tabernacle—is an absurd, disgusting and impudent plea for immunity'from the penalties of the Edmunds. law for their grossly immortal aractices. Immunity! What these people dessrve and will continue to receive injustice in large doses. ^GROCERIES m —at— R I C H A R D S ' . In Georgia there seems to be among a certain class an inadquate appreciation of one of the great and'growing industriespf this great and glorious country. We refer to profession;!' base ball playing. The Thomaston Times declares the game a nuisance in Georgia and calls upon the legislature to pass a law prohibiting it. These Georgia folks will please explain what the able-bodied young men now engaged in ball playing are to do ifthe game is abolished. Is it possible that they are expected to work? Secretory Whitney has be<m d-rop— ping—remarks lately which—seem towar rant the statement that the Administration has a vigorous and liberal policy to enforce with respect to the navy. We believe it is the sincere hope of the entire country that Mr. Cleveland and his Secretary of the Navy will be able to impress Congress with the desirability of providing some respectable ships, upon which the Eagle can perch without feeling ashamed of himself. The chief editor of the New York Herald, the Rev. l)r. Hep worth, is pastor of a church in Newark, New Jersey. His parishoners think-they fa not getting their money's worth when he preaches only one sermon nn Sunday, and that perhaps an old one, while Bennett grudges him the time taken to deliver it. He should divide his sermons into editorial paragraphs and advise his hearers to subscribe to the Herald" if they want to get their money back.—Free Press. In the appointment of G. V. N. Lothrop as minister to Russia President Cleveland has shown due regard foa the dignity of the office and for the reputation ot the nation whose ambassador Mr. Lathrop becomes. It is not probable that Mr. Latliop has sought this, or any other office, and his selectiun iiss,, mtine reiure, a surpnsing^oinr rrraass t to the nomination of such men as Kelley and Meier for foreign appointments. Mr.Lathrop, it need hardly be said, was not urged upon the president by the office-broking mpb of small Democrats who recently invaded Washington.—Post. A St. Petersburg dispatch brings the news of popular demonstrations in honor of General Komaroft. It is said that he has become "a national hero.'1 He is regarded by the populace as the embodiment of the national spirit and .pride, and of the aggressive ambition of Russia. At the risk of setting England aflame with rage, /Komaroff fought the- Afghans and boldljptook possession cf disputed Jefrifory. As it appears to the Rus5Tans, the battte on the bordei^tfnd subsequent operationspf- the Russian forces, were ? huiation to the Lion. This was enough to stir the popular spirit, which finds vent in cheers for Komaroff. If there is to be an amicable settlement : of present, complications,, by mutual concessions, or even by a radical mod- . ihcation of the claims of the Russian \'Olovernment, General Komaroff will .vitail :\& a hero in the eyes of the Russians.

The Conuecitcut country editors are greatily wrought over a story that a Fitehtield county woodchuck was caught in a trap in March. Their patrons are taking up the pen and an aopalliag deluge of woodchuck knowledge is outpouring on the great question whether the woodchuck does or doesn't know enough to stay in his hole until April at least. A Harwinton expert on woodchuck* swears by the eternal horn spoon that '-when he was a boy" he traped chucks every month in the year. A Caeshire man. says his dog treed one last week on a branch twenty feet above the ground, and an aged farmer with the_truth_o.ii his lips and mud on his boots tells the gentle editor of the Derby Transcript that March is the wbodchuck's mating season, and after & light snow they can be tracked for long distances on their evening tramps in search of a housekeeper for the coming summer —Hartford Post. PASACAS. It is not to electrify the world by some brilliant performance on the turf that we present the picture'of thesubjact of our sketch on the frontispiece of thd Horseman this week, but to place again before the public one of the grandest horses in general conformation and as a stock horse in Michigan. Pasacas, whose picture appears here, and one that represents him very truly, and for which a great deal of credit is due the artist, is a blood bay stallion, 1 5 | hands high, of wonderful conformation, superior both in quality and substance throughout. Hts sire is the great Almont, son of Alexander's Abdallah; bis dam is Glory, by Jackson's Western Star" by Piatt1* Western star, son of Blacknose, by Medoc, son of American Eclipse, by Duroc, son of imp. Dioined;2d dam by Boanbrges; {Jd dam by Gallatin. He is the property of W. W Starkey, Fovvlervitle, Livingston County, Michigan. While bis career on the turt has been very limited, he has trotted some creditable races. In 1878 he was entered through the Oil Circuit in Pennsylvrnia in the 2:40 class, and trotted his lirstracein in the circuit at Oil City, September l&tfl against John McDougal and Cricket, but was driven for, second place only on account of having suffered a temporary disability from the effectotavery severe quarter (Tack in one of his front feet that had been very annoying to both horse and owner throughout the whole season, but in fehis race his owner learned to prize more highly the sterling qualities and indomitable courage that he has &.o stoutly inherited tbi-ough his royal ancestry. When scoring lor the second heat he burst open his quarter afresh, but came unflinching to the wire for the word, and troted a good second in the heat, and when he cam*} out 1.. r the third heat he carried his lame foot, going from the stail to the track on three legs, and his owner tuinkin^ it cruel to start him again, went to the stand to draw him, but his driver prevailed on him to let him come to. score oftceT-tosee if he would not-braceoip Jli-31 §W~THE WEST END DRY GOODS S T O R E D ; Chuck full of new goods.

It is as frolicsome and iiiore innocent looking than a lamb, but for interfering with one's upright attitude in the community it is perhaps the best machine that has appeared. One's first feeling on standing upon c pair of roller skates is an uncontrollable tendency to come from together. One foot may start fjr Idaho, while thd other promptly str out for Arizona. One of the most>noticeable tilings at a skatii^rrnlT. is the strong attracjtiornoetween the human bjdy and the floor of the rink. If the human body had been coming through space for daysj at the rate of a million miles a second, without slopping at eating stations, and not excepting Mindays, when it strikes the floor, we could understand why it strikes the floor with so much violei\ce. As it h>, however, the thing is quite in- * " explicable. ~ ~ There are different kinds of falls in vogue at the rink. There are the rear fall and front fall the Cardinnl Wolsey fall, fall one across the other three in a pile, and so on. There are som« of the falls that I wouldJike to be excused from describing. The rear fall is the favorite. It is more frequently utilized than any other. There tire two positions in skating. the perpendicular and horizontal. Advanced skaters prefer the perpendicular, while ot'.ers effect thejiotfi^ Quintal. ^<" Skates are no /espector of persons. They willJay"out a minister of the gospel-or the mayor of the cjty^as readily as they will a jbaft coated boy or ajjidi man's feet start for and the other for Colorado, that does not separate him from the floor or break up his fun. Other portions of his body will take the the place his feet have just vtcated with a promptness that is surprising. And he will know that the fun has just beffun—for the people looking -enough to savei hts distancein the heat, and thereby win second money, which he did. The moment his check wa& iilaced. and he turned tor the wjordfhe came down the stretch, Ji^rleyes like bails of Hre, anditetecl like he was ready to do^cpdieTand he was allowed to go tho-heat, and was only b 'iiteii by JjohtTJlclJougal a neck in 2:33£, without even a nod, over a hall imie trauiv, w.th a 3b foot grade in the tirst quarter, which accounts tor the slow ume made over the track I hat season. At Edinburg the next week he won third placii, and at Parkers the week following he won second place in agoud tie Id of horses.' At MassilUon, Ohio, the same fall he was started in the three minute class to win, and won in straight heacs, beating Young liruao, Doctor Cash (both ringing out of thenclass), and fmr others, best turn* 2r&> in. deep sand. It will be remejabert-d that Pasaci was broujjit-^tb" Landing, Mich,, in February 1878, a place where well ea mores were comparatively unknown at, that time, and „ where the people was very much 'prejudiced against such high priced stock—as they termed it—-from the fact that other well bred stallions ha>j been largely patronized in different localities throughout the state, and as yet had failed to produce trotters, and they they could not be induced to patroni/e this horse, the consequence wa* he had to seek other gelds tor his labor, and he svas taken to Fowlerviile where he his now owned and wlvre he has made a great local reputation as a sire. Pasacas is a horse of wonderful individual excellency and prepotency as a sire; his colts all inherit in a reinarkabledegiee the indomitable courage, nerve and instinct to do or die so conspicuous in their sire. Out of 245 colts got by this horse up to 1882 from all colors in dains, 117 are bay, 26 are chestnut, and two are gray. This shows theprepotency in the blood, with power to transmit. These colts are largely bred and owned by farmers, consequently very few of them have been handled or trained. Up to this date not more than a dozen mares brought to-his embrace can be traced to any speed producing strains of blood, and the produce from these dams are too young to develope much spejedy Those ot his get that have^belm handled are out of strict lycoW^looded dams, as far as know^HtTfd it can safely be said thatjva-streNiu Michigan can show sueh-arTotof fine^olts with same agjji*#ate amount ot sf>eed, superior fuality, and substance fors road and track from the class of darns, as this son of the great Almont. Tfrey have taken tirst premiums over all comers whenever snosvn with their sire tor sweepstakes, for stallions, and six of his own get, at the Michigan State* Central, and Western Fairs, also as single and individual horses in their cii^s.—Chicago Horseman.

H E R E is the entertaining prophesy of a Pittsburg man: " I n 50 years, or perhaps in half that time, coal will not be carried from the mines to its place of destination in bulk, but only its actual heat energy will bo transported, and that by wiro, a process which, he says, can be accomplished Iby converting the coal into heat, the heat into ttotionnnd the mbtlonTnto electricity^ a storage battery in Cincinnati would take it up as fast as generatethat the mines, and from this battery i; mwld be taken, and converted iu k motion and heat, or chair.:• •! light." THE president of the Manchc. & medical society, England, said recently that the number of deaths from cancer had increased from 4,807 in 1849 to 14,- 057 in 1882, tho last return available. Mr. Whitehead did not compare deaths from cancer wkh population, but with the total number of deaths, and ho found that whereas, in 1849 out of the total moralty one death in 90 was due to cancer, in 1882 tho proportion wag_one in 36. These figures do not represent the extent of the increase fully, because formerly fibroids, polypi, etc., were included under the term cancer. In 1882 twice as many females died from cancer as males, and the proportionate increase has been greater women. among P E O P L E who enjoy shopping and getting bargains should go to Berlin and join in the scramble for "something t o b o o t r* * - which" d e al ers1 n TbatT ' city gladly give to attract trade.

Thepractico is most most general>fti6ng booksellers, who give toysV"dolls, games, pencils, and t h e Tike, and recently in one of tlie Berlin school the police had actually to be called in, the pupils having got into a violent quarrel over some firecrackers obtained by ono of them as 'boot' in a book store purchase"!' M R . W. D. H O W E L L S isejtgnged upon a new serial s t o r ^ - f d r T h e Century Magazine, tojpiffiw "The I^ise of Silas LaphanOf^which will be finished in the ist number. The" publication of the new story wilt be begun possibly during the~~autunin, and will be completed in six numbers of the magazine. It is said to deal with tho fortunes of a country boy in Boston, and with the perplexities, on his account, of the minuter who has tried to help him with advice; and will therefore illustrate phases of one of the peculiar questions of American life. The situations will be fresh, and the characters a larger group than Mr. Howells usually brings upon the scene of a novel. In the minister, 16 readers of The Centnry will recogse one of the subordinate characters of "The Rise of Silas L a p h a m .

Lawson, "who wrote a history of the Carolinas in the first years of the last century, was struck with the care tho Indians showed in keeping the corps from contact with the soil. Their feeling was just the opposite of that expressed by " e a r t h to e a r t h . " Old travelers give quaint wood-cuts of the quigozogon or mausoleum, in which dead people of note were laid. It was lined as well as floored with mats, and had its sides secured from falling in by well-spliced poles, which supported an arched roof. . If all this seems too much trouble for " s a v a g e s " to take, wo must remember that thoy were not savages—had many arts which they have lost througli contact with the whites, and, from tho unsparing way in which nowadays they give their best to their dead friends, we may argue that the Bry and Latitau, and other explorers, simply depicted what they saw, and that the houses of the dead were, among some tribes, really far more sumptuous than those of the living. Here is an* instance of this present-day unsparingness in a poor broken tribe in California. These Californians burn their dead, as do many Indians of the far west; and the scene at the chief's burning reminds one of the burials of the old Greek heroes. " I n his mouth were placed two gold twenties, and smaller coins on his breast and in his hands and ears. All his finery—feather maatles, plumes, clothes, shellmoney, bows, arrows—was heaped upon him; and as soon as the dirge and funeral dance were set going the [ndian spectators began to lose their heads. One. stripped off a brand-new broadcloth coat and Hung it on the pyre, howling piteously. Another was just throwing on a pile of blankets, when a white man offered him $10 for them, jingling tho bright coins before his eyes."" The redman hurled him -aside, and threw his offering with the rest. Women kept throwing oh all they had in the world—their gayest dresses, their shell neckla-es. Indeed, so furious got the excitement that some of them would themselves have Old travelers wondered at these coffins s e t u p above ground; and the Spaniards— as little scrupulous as Dr. Sternberg "about violating burial places— found in some of them a deal of wealth. Tho burial boxes of a tribe on tho Talomeco river, Oregon, are said to have furnished handfuls of pearls to a party of soldiers that were exploring the coast. The Chinese, wo remember, also keep their coffins above ground; and, ages ago, they used to be as reckless as tho red men in their offerings to the dead. The Scythians— probably also belonging to the yellow race— seems to us to nave been the most lavish because of the quantity of gold found in their torabs. But gold was common in the Ural; and to a Scythian king even the treasures found in such a tomb as Koul-Oba, near K^ertch, were not more valuable alt" t h a t calico, a n d those Buffalo robes and blankets, were to poor Cheyenne.

Sternberg, of t,ho U'nite^Sflites army, found tn Kansas, ajjwfil; le Cheyennes, a burial-case raised some eight feet from the ground on four notched uprights. Seeingthat it was carefully constructed, his "civilized" instinct prompted him.at once to send it to the Army Medical museum at Washington, where it was found to consist of a box six feet long, three, feet high, and three feet dep'p, of white willow branches, neatly united, with a floor of burlalo thongs, and straps fastened it to four twelve-foot ironwood poies, which had rested in the notched uprights. Outside were two buffalo robes of the largest /size, and inside five more, each bound round with a bright sash, were successively removed. Then came five blankets— two red, two blue, one white; and next a white and gray/striped sack, and inside that a United States infantry overcoat, like all the other wra nearly new. Then, on a p rags, was the "medicine-bag" of the dead baby—Of course it was a baby; all those wrappings left only room tor a year-old/child. The bag contained a The Heredity of Alcohol. It is of course fresh in the minds of the readers of The Health Monthly ( a n d indeed there are reminded each month by the discussion that js going on in these columns) that Dr. George W. Keith, in October, presented some wonderful facts for the purpose of showing that intemperance was not transmissible from parent to child through the laws of inheritance. Those who have been replying to Dr. Keith have managed the subject so well we have been disposed to take a back seat and assume the part of spectator r a t h e r than that of a wide-awake disputant, We take the floor now only for a moment to remind both Dr. I^eith and those who are discussing the subject with him that he has given the observations of only on physician. There is hardly any end of the list of those who observed the effects of Heredity and the observations are certainly quite in contrast with those given by Dr. Keith as coming under his eye. Dr. H o w e , in his report on idiocy in Massacnusetts, stated that the habits of one or^bpth parents of 800 idiots had been" learned and that 145 of these unfortunate children were found.to be the offspring of habitual drunkards. He presented the -ease of^ofie drunkard who was the parent of seven idiots. Dr. Beach, medical superintendent of the Darenth Asylums at a'meetiug of the British Medical Association reported that an analysis of 430 cases under his own care showed 31.6 per cent, of idiotic children were tho offsprings of in^ temperate parents and he i ed that in his privates-practice similar proofs werjj-^^continually confronting himj^-EJrT Turner, _pf the New York^fca-teinebriato Asylum, in his seeiMKrannual report stated that c^-t5T1406 cases of delirium tremens coming under his-ob*ervatien 980 had an inebriate parent or grand-parent, or both. He further expresses the belief that if the history of each patient's ancestors could be ascertained it would be discovered that eight out of ten of, therh wero free ' users of alcoholic poison. A testimonial of a similar character comes to us trom Norman Kerr, M. D., F. L.

Poor Katie 1 A great sufferer she was, tand most patiently did she endure in the hope tha( at last hex sufferings would ' come to an end. She was just budding into womanhood; a fine-looking girl of neatly nineteen, who had, previous to her attack of illness, enjoyed robust health. Let her mother tell the story, as she told it to two of our editorial friends who recently spent an evening at the house. " Katie's illness carae on slowly, with great pain in her thigh and hip* For a while she kept on going to school, but the pains became so severe that she had to stay at home, and most of the time lie down on a little lounge here in the sittingroom. We tried the beat physicians we could get. The disease banleu them all. One said it was ulceration of the thigh bone, and wanted to have the poor child undergo a terrible operation. It turned out to be sciatic rheumatism. Poor child I h o w the 4id_iufl€rJ About four o'clock in the afternoon she would begin screaming with pain. She couldn't help it. She would scream and moan till about four in the morning. Then she , would fail asleep from weariness, and sleep/for some hours. This went on for about eight months. During the nights neither she nor I could sleep. M Katie was a great reader. One day, in a paper, she saw an advertisement, of Athlophoros. j3he asked me to get it and see if it wouldn't cure her. We had tried a good many different things, but I Sought we would try this. And I went id got a bottle. I gave her a dose of it towards evening. It was simply wonderful how it quieted the poor child's pain and put her into a gentle sleep. She slept nicely until ten. Then she was in a great perspiration. She waked, and I gave her another dose, for the first one h a d d e u e her so much good. Then she feiTasleep again and slept till morjafigT Her pain was gone. She hadjiafa'tv any returns of U, The Athlophoros did the work for her most completely. £ut the terrible sciatica had drawn Katie's leg up, and made it shorter than* it had been, by several inches. She was lame for life, although the rheumatism was all driven out of her. She had to walk on crutches. One day she fell down stairs ~ahd was so badly hurt that she had to be taken to the hospital.

Teeple k Cad well sold two gasoline stoves Monday afternoon, making six in all that they have sold this season. Gasoline stoves are a blessing to housewives, particularism the summer season, and we have no doubt for cooking purposes they will be the stove of the future. We made a short visit to the carriage manufactory of Sykes k Soni the other day and tound in their repository a stock of as nice buggies and carriages as you seldom see. Their prices, too, were in accordence with the times. Look out for their advertisement soon. There has been* quite a diphtheria scare here this week, and many have taken their children from school for tear of their catching it, but to sum the whole affair up, only one case exists, and that is the four-year-o>d son of Warren Hoff. Although this case has been somewhat severe, it is now beyond danger. The Williamston Enterprise has reached its 12th anniversary. E. S. Andrews, the present genial editor and publisher, has been at tbe helm during eleven years of that time and is now happy in tha tact that he has one of the best local papers and best equiped country offices in the state. An exchange -says^—"Here is a warding to men who exercise a false economy in matters of advertising. One of this description wanted to sell some land, so he put up a written notice in one of the hotels the other day. A man wHo was inquiring for a farm was referred to the notice when he replied: "I can't buy land at a fair price from any man who does his advertising in that way. He'd steal the fence, pump-handle and the barn dpor before he'd give up possession." Why not celebrate the 4th of July here in a patriotic and- old-time manner? The anniversary of American independence is but seven weeks ahead oi us, and if we think of doing anything we should bestir ourselves soon. No movement has been made by our neighboring towns as yet, and if we take an early start probably many from other places will decide to spend their holiday sixpence at Pinckney. Let us think over the matter and if consistent call a public meeting to determine what shall be done. M. T. Woodruff, formerly publisher of The Ypsilanti an, has sold that sheet and will issue from Detroit about July 1,1885, the Michigan State Democrat, tbe objects of which will be the advancement of democrat principles, the upbuilding of the democrat party and the independent discussions of national issues and general topics of the day. Mr. Chas. Woodruff, the veteran editor of the Ypsilanti Sentinel, is to he chief editor of th* Democrat, and we predict a paper of such intentions and such ability at the head as these gentlemen possess will surely meet with success*. The subscription price wil be only $1.00 and no money is asked until after the first issue. If you wish the paper send your address on a postfot waj-»hwrt dts4tal card to M; T. WcwdruffV 48 Lar.

Newkirk, ot the Pinckney DISPATCH, is now dad of a beautiful (so he says) 11} pound daughter, born last Wednesday. Don't want to leave any "pi" laying around now Lin.—South Lyon Picket Editor Newkirk, of the Pinckney DISPATCH, goes about with seraphic smiles as he thinks how the little one will try to say "papa take" in about 12 months hence. It's a 184-ounce carl.—Livingston Republican. Friend Newkirk, of the Pinckney DISPATCH, is to be congratulated. Iir his last issue he says: "It is a girl, and arrived at just 7 o'clock Tuesday morning, May 5, 1885, and [kicked] tipped the beam at 1 1 | [o'clock) pounds." It must be a wonder to "kick" the beam so early, ^ B bet that's an "a 1 home print," and needs: r.o "revising." Guess she'll have to be "planed down" occasionally in the future. Of course she is beautiful and looks like her papa.—Dexter Leader. N Real Estate Transfers. _ Richard Webb to 0_L. _Smith,.lol in Gregory. $100.

It seems bill a fevv- months ago that her modest verses began to attract attention in the Atlantic Monthly, while at present her volume, "ANew Year's Masque/' and her occasional magazine poems bold a well deserved place among the works of tbe first American writers. Facing Miss Thomas' poem is a frontispiece ot real beauty, representing a young girl gathering fourleaved clovers, with her lover looking on. Mrs. A. M. Diaz shows at her best in the new Bedquilt Stories, which the publishers of the Cottage Hearth were fortunate in securing last January. The illustrated article ot the number, by Willis Boyd Allen, describes the adventure of the writer and a delightful little "Polly,42 among the Catskill Mountains. The engravings are finely executed, and range, in subject, over the whole Rip Van Winkle country. Msss Olive E. Dana contributes a fine paper,-with portraits, on Alice and Phoebe Gary. Prizes are offered and awarded to the younger readers.

You promised me that you wouldn't drrnksajiy thing today, and here you are half drunk.1 1 These words were addressed to me by my wile, Maud, As she stood surveying me. she d i d n ' t look much as though she would come into the garden, unless it might be that she v%ere looking for a bean B ole with which to belabor my head. My conception of a Maud was a creature of brighf -oyed gentleness, whose hair in ringlets' leached down and toyed with a shelllike ear. Well, my Maud had, previous to our marriage, been1 something like this, but now—well, poor girl, I suppose she has had trouble enough to effect so great a change. I was a newspaper scribbler, and it was my sketches of domestic happiness— written while I roomed over a beer saloon—that first caused her to feel an interest in me. My habits were not above reproach, but 1 would have been indignant had auy one called me a drunkard. I lirst met Maud at a church fair. When she learned that I was the man wl;o wrote "so charmingly;" *die warmed toward me and smiled So "sweetly t h a t 1 t u r r e n d e r e d at once. I thought of all this as I sat looking at her. **Maud, did I promise you that I wouldn't drink anything to-day?" "Yes, you did, aud now you are half d r u n k .

" I wonder if there can be an actual devil who stands at the elbow and who whispers in the ear of frail mortality? I had not been at work more than half an hour, until—involuntarily, it seemed— I arose, walked to a saloon and took a drink. I had not that burning thirst of which temperance lecturis r a u t ; I would not have acknowledged that my desire to drink was beyond my control. I don't know why 1 drank.

She said nothing but I heard her sob. " W r e t c h , " I thought, " w h y does notsome one kill m e . " " I was very sick the next morning. While I was heaving; ami while .the perspiration of agony was standing on my purple brow, Maud r e m a r k e d : "1 don't care if you arc sick. It's good enough for y o u . " I had nothing to say. AU ray arguments, tied up with blue strings, were stored away where I could not reach them. " H e n r y will soon be large enough to imitate the example of his father," she said, referring to our little boy. "Maud, don't say t h a t , " 1 replied. "I will say it, for it's the truth. If you can't stop drinking now, you can't stop when the boy grows up to—" "Now, here, Maud, I am going to Htop." " W h e n ?

I found one of his shoes in a closet. I kissed it. Weary months crept along in tiresome stretch. I had written many letters to many distant friends, yet no one could tell me where I could find ray wife. Critics said that my work had become melancholy. Is not the leaf melancholy when the frost falls upon it? The precious essence of life had been squeezed from my soul. Time and again I prayed that I might die. Once I heard a man, who did ndt think that I was neat, say that I was losing my mind. He was wrong. I had too much of my mind. I wrote a book. It was a sad cry, rather than a voice of sentiment, but the people bought it. How surprised I was.

How glib and rattling she was! She had us before we knew it. She had us sitting as erect as a sunbeam in July; and meekly nodding assent to her sage observations. We neither moved hand nor foot, and, as for talking, we had no chance. She talked fast, and she talked .long, and she talked all the time. After regaliug us with the grandeur of her ancestry; the pleasures of her childhood, and the surpassing excellence of her book, she touched u.s iip. She did it handsomely. She expatiated on the potency of our influence, the value of our personal signature, and the well-known warmth and kindness of heart. Greatness, she hinted, always had a tear on its cheek for the struggling and unfortunate. And there we were—dumb and foolish, a victim to her spell. „Time came and went, but she went on, and on, and on. We felt fatigued and lonesome, and wonder how it would end. Finally, she gradually descended from her circumlocutory flight,and lit in the region of business. The atmosphere became commercial, and it was a question of dollars and cents. She had a book for sale and desired to sell us a copy. It ceased to be a question of ancestry, and the poetry and praise all faded away.

The Spanish authorities endeavor tO-fionceal theJbrutU about the cholera scourge. But it is known that the progress of the horrible malady has not been checked. The Boards of Health in American cities have received an early warning of the danger of an invasion of this country by the Asiastic monster. Andrew Jackson, one of the parties to a neighborhood feud at Pineville, Ky., killed two men and a child, and "it is the opinion of the best citizens," says our ijorrespondent, "that the trouble^* «ow over." We trust that the "best citizens are in error.

The New Bible. 1 The work of revising the Oie Testament, inaugurated by the convocation of the Canterbury mother church of Anglo-Saxon Christendom May 24, 1870, formally begun soon afterward is completed after nearly fourteen years of continuous labor on the part of the committee to whom the new. translation was intrusted.

People generally, and even those who may be permed steady readers and clow observers, have but a'faint conception of the magnitude and influence the press of this country has attained. From a careful examination of toe advance pages of the 1885 edition of the American Newspaper Directory, issued May 1st, by George P. Bowell & <?qn of New York, it appears that there are 14,147 newspapers and periodicals published in the United States and Canada; of these the United ^»^^sp w ™ #a^sw# aa average of one every 3,867 persons. In ie total number of newspapers t&jF&fr* by 828 than at present, and •wttfe the gain this year is not so marked at in some previous years, it it still considerable. Kansas shows the greatest increase, the number be- 9% while Illinois follows with a gain •••'. *f 7T. It is curious to notice that S N P York, the scene of so much polit- \A activity during the last campaign, should have only about one-third as many newspapers as the State of Pennsylvania. As an index to the comparative growth and prosperity of different sections of the country, especially the Territories, the number of newspapers forms an interesting study, and may well occupy the attention of the curious. ^^s^ss^sr- Why Some Farmers Don't Succeed.

They give no attention to details- They think small things not import a n t . : , ^-:------- They take-no pleasure in their work. They regard labor as a misfortune. • They weigh and measure stingily. —MPhe^arec-wastefuLand improvident. They *et their gates sag and hang down. They will not make compost. They sell bay, grain and straw off the farm instead of'turning ''u .> i meat, cheese and butter, and increasing their supply of manure. They let their fowls roo.st in trees. They have n o shelter tor stock. They do not curry their horses. They leave their plows in the field. They hang the harness in the dust. They put otf greasing the wagon. They starve the calf and milk the cow. They don't know that the best is the cheapest They breed to and from serubs. Thev have no method of system. They have no ears! for home enterprise. They see no good in a new thing. They never use paint on the farm. They prop tHFbarn door with a raj! They milk the cows late in the day. They have no time to do things well. They do not read the best books and newspapers. They think one dollar is better in- *rejttd in whiskey and tobacco than in •.Subscription lor a good weekly agricultural and home paper. Thev think the buyer of a successful neighbor's stock at good prices is a fool, and, the seller very "lucky."

SEN* ATE — The proval of the MAY 15. governor acts to noted bis provide for apas- ' Programme of the Planets for March. Uranus is morning star until the 21st, and then becomes evening star. The place of honor for the month must be accorded to him, for during its pas* sage ho reaches the culminating point •of his short-lived importance. On the 21st, at three o'ciock in the morning, Uranus is in opposition with the sun, after which event tho four .. giant planets will be on tho eastern side of the sun, tmd pluy the part of evening stars in tho following nearness to the froat central orb* Neptune, Saturn, upiter, Uranus. Suturn is evening star and wins a prominent place on tho March records. A noteworthy event occurs in his course as viewed from this planet. On tho 7th, at three o'clock in tho afternoon, ho is in quadrature with the sun on tho eastern side. Ou that occasion, as the sun sinks below the western horizon Sutuni looks down from tho zenith, and. "soon as tho evening shades prevail" and the stars peep from their hiding places in tho azuro depths, tho planet second in size in tho sun's family, and by far its most wonderful member, may be readily seen, beaming radieutly from tho celestial heights, and commencing his westward descent. Jupiter is even ng star. His brilliancy does not perceptibly lessen, and he remains lord of the ascendant during nearly the whole night, setting only a short time' befo o the day breaks, lie is retrograding during tho month and traveling north. Ou the 14th he is in conjunction with Regulus. being 49 minutes north. He keeps near tho bright star dtiring the month, and by watching the star, ILxed in us position, the wandering of the -planet will be plainly perceptible. Jupiter is on the oast of Regulus till the 14th, then on the west, and is all the time moving north. Venus is morning star. She anticipates the sun only half an hour in rising, showing how close she is to him. and how soan alio wiil he entirely lost in his rays. She will be counted out for months to come as a" planet for observation. But *ne give* evidence of activity by paying her respects to Mars, tile new-comer among the morting stars. The two planets are in_c.ohjunction »*ti the 27th at 10 o'clock in the evening, Venus being36 degrees south. The conjunction will be visible • UUH AKABJC FAMINE. The Sticky Material Advancing In Price—To Jfc Swept from Trade If the Mehdl's Hebeltioti ttucoe«ils. The war in the Soudan has seriously affected tho trade in gum arabio. Prices have already more than doubled, and since the supply of this article is drawn wholly from the country in the mehdi's possession, a continuance of the trouble for a much longer period will result in a gum arabic famine. Previous to the bombardment of Alexandria by the British fleet the supply of the gum was abundant and prices were exceptionally low, ranging from 9 to 10 cents a pound for ordinary sorts gum arabic—that is, the gum as gathered without subsequent preparation for market. After the bombardment the prices advanced to 12 and 15 cents a pound, the native dealers bc«' Moving that the war ^ben-bagi&ning woula interrupt the shipment of gum from the interior. Subsequently El Mehdi out off communication between the Soudan and the seaboard and, his followers having possession of the entire . gum country, the shipments ceased. The transportation, which is by alteruate camel ana", water routes, is surrounded by many diillculties, and under tho most favorable circumstances from eight to ten months is required to move the gum from Kordofan to Cairo and Alexandria. Since tho "false prophet's" arrival in the vicinity of Khartoum practically no gum arabic has found its way from the Soudanese territory to the usual mar« kets, and the price has still furtljor advanced to 25 and 30 cents per pound.

The planets aro below tho horizon at tlie»ttme, and too near tho sun to be seen if the time were favorable. Mars'is morning star, and still close. to the sun, rising: a few minutes before him. Resides his conjunction witli Venus, already referred to, he is.i.tL conjunction with Mercury on the 7th, at U o'elook in the morning", being 1 decree three minutes north. It will be readily seen that the three planets, Venus, Mercury and Mars, are very near each otherand very near the sun in the month of March. Mercury is morning star till the 18th when he changes his role. On tho 18th, at 1 o'clock^in the afternoon, he is in superior conjunction with tho sun, passing to the sun's eastern side and joining the ranks of the evening stars. . At the elosn of the month Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Mercury are evening stars, Venus and Mais are morning stars. Neptune is evening star during tho month. The March moon fulls on the 80th at 11:39 o'clock in tho morning. She is the queen of the full moons for the year, for, as she is the tirst full moon after the vernal equinox, she determines when Easter Sunday shall fall, and regulates from this initial point the movable fasts and feasts of tho church. Our satellite therefore exerts indirectly a great influence over human affairs. The moon is in conjunction with Uranus on the 2d, with Venus on the 15th, and with Mars on the 16th. The new moon of the 16th is in conjunction with Mercury on the day of her change, with Nentune on the 20th, with Saturn on the 23d, with Jupiter on the 27th. and closes the list with a second conjunction with Uranus on the 29th. An annular eclipse of tho sun'takes place on the 16th that will be visible as a partial eclipse throughout North- America and adjacent portions of the Atlantic and Pacitic oceans, There will be a partial eclipse of tho moon ons the 30th, invisible in the United States, but visible in Asia, eastern Europe and Africa. The magnitude of the eclipse is 0.886 of the moon's diameter.—Providence Journal. He <iot a Suggestion. •'For Heaven's sake Elliott make a suggestion.

A young lady of shoddy attainments, whose father had just struck a bonanza, was visiting somo friends in ;the city last week. During her visit she with otherjL ..visited tho ..Shot Tower, and was invited to view the city from the top of the structure. She seemed very much relieved after descending, and remarked, " I am so glad to reach terra cotta oncejnert,''- is to-day selling cheaper in Now York and this city than in any other part of the world, not excepting even Carlo and Alexandria. This is in part due to the fact that many large consumers in this country, owing to the advance in price, have adopted substitutes where possible. The importation of gum Senegal from Senegambia, on tho west coast of Africa, has been greatly stimulated by the high price of gum arabic in nature and quality, and makes an eiiicient substitute. But*for this importation from Senegambia and the bringing into use of substitutes of various inferior gums the price of sorts arabic would now be not less than 60 cents a pound. Tho supply of senega! is UmUeS^lioWeTer, and its price is rapidly advancing. ^= — The stock of gum arabic in the warehouses of the world is exceedingly small, and should the war continue a veai* longer it will be exhausted. Even should the war end at once it would be two years beiore a fresh supply could reach the markets of the world. It is estimated that only about 20 percent, of tho crop of 1883 was gathered, and nothing is known of the crop of 1884, which was probably not gathered at all. What portion of thin year's crop may bo saved will depend on the termination of tho rebellion and the peaceful settlement of the country. Native dealers in gum in Cario and Alexandria are so conlident of higher prices that they refuse to sell, and have practically withdrawn from the market. Tho gum is used extensively in the manufacture of fine confectionery and for sizing colors in" textile goods. It is used in large quantities on the government envelopes, which arc manufactured by a New England firm. Probably a larger quantity of the gum is consumed at this manufactory than at any other single establishment in the country. The adhesive substance on postage stamps is dextrine, which gives a more_pliablc surface than could be produced by gum arabic. Tho unit of commerce for gum arabic is a bale containing five hundred pounds. Europe consumes about twelve thousand bales annually, and America half as much. Tho business in this country is practically in the hands of two houses, one in New York and one in this city, of some thirty years' standing. Gum arabic exudes from the,acacia tree just as gum comes from some of our native trees. It is gathered by shaking the trees, and the time for the picking in the neighborhood of Kordofan, Darfur, and outlying districts is about one month after—thu rains, which will. usually bring it in September. Tho gum requires some time to dry and harden, and it takes three months to transport it from Khartoum to St.ez by way of Berber and Suakim, and six months from Khartoum to Cairo by the Nile. Much of it is sent to Trieste, where it is packed and put on the market in grades.—Philadelphia Record. President Arthur's Law Office.

'With Iti broad streets and majestic avefeues adorned with stately buildings, Detroit is one of t.Ue most magnificent cities <m this oontineai. Its new system of *dexrtric lighting throws Into obscurity all ih*oid methods, and leaves ordinary street lamps where dingy tallow dips used to be. The new lights are on light lattice work towers, 125 to 150 feet high, shedding a radiance which is like intensified moonlight. Tha effect of this when the city is «or«red' with its white robe of snow, is •trangely beautiful. A gentleman recently spent a day or two In Detroit, pushing his researches to some •extent in the direction of finding out as to 4he new method of curing rheumatism by means of Athlojhoros. the remedy which in the last year or two has attained such favor as a victor over this old enemy of the human race. Calling on HJV Jk £ . tfaison,: the well-known superintendent ttth* American District Telegraph Company, he found that-gentleman cheerfully ready to say all the pleasant things h e could about Athlophoros. • " M y wife," said Mr. Watson, "was suffering terribly from rheumatism; her pains trereTbothin joints and muscles. So excruciating were her agonies when she moved, that sometimes on assuming one position in the morning she would remain in that position all day rather than endure the torment.of being moved. I procl'fed a bottle of Athlophoros, and the euect on my wife was as surprising as it wasgratifying. We had no idea that any medicine could so speedily remove such an obstinate disease. She was soon cured, and the cure was complete. Since that she has had no return of the disorder. We speak freely among our friends of the good work of Athlophoros, and have no hesitation in saying how highly we esteem it." Visiting nearly all the leading drug stores in the city, it was found that all who bad kept Athlophoros had received from their customers marked commendation of its efficacy. One lady hatt taken six bottles of it with the result of a complete cure. A t Frizelle'a, on Michigan Avenue, one of the clerks had taken it with excellent effect. This young man, Mr. Cohe% had suffered greatly with rheumatism. Though surrounded by medicines of every description, they did not reach his case. Mr. Cohen tried Athlophoros, 'and found that it did for him what noth- 'ingelse had been able to do. From Detroit to Chicago is but a day's ride, and in the latter city Athlophoros has also accomplished some wonderful results. In Chicago, at 905 West Twelfth street, lives, Mr. William W. Summers, of the well-known firm of Summers, Morrison A Co., commission merchants, 174 South Water street. Mr. and Mrs. Summers gave substantially the following facts r A," When Robbie was taken sick some weeks ago we thought ftt first that it was only an ordinary cold, but it proved to be something much more severe. The pains were evidently those of rheumatism. We wrapped the boy in cotton and gave him a number of the remedies-such as are generally given. His agony was dreadful. We had to hold him in the bed, his agony was so great We had two physicians, who did not succeed in making hira any better. The poor child's torture was so intense that he asked for a pistol, so that he might Imt himself out of the way and thus end , lis sufferings. When he was at his worst we thought of Katie Gill, who was well known to us, and the medicine that had cured her. We sent to Mr. Gill's to know the name of the medicine and where to get it. They happened to have some left in a bottle—Athlophoros the name is—and they kindly sent it to us. It is surely a very strange and powerful medicine, for it stopped the boy's pain •ery soon and very effectually. Ho took but a little of it, for there was only enou, for about three doses in the bottle Mr. Gill sent us. This was only a few weeks ago.

DTSPBVflA—THl OAUII AMD OU1& To give the plainest and most manifest definition of the term dvspepeia if to say that it it the condition of one whose food U not well digested, or that ic u not so changed as to afford good Hood for the reconstruction of the wasted tissues of the body, earned by exercise. The stomaeh, the most conspicuous of the digestive °*f**% becomes enfeebled, like any of the organs of the system, by overwork, by work under unfavorable mrcnmstancoB, bv processes whioh are too difficult or unnatural, by too continuous labor, with too little time for adequate rest When we remember that our food is taken—or should be—that jrood blood may be made, inch ae will well sustain the body, eating becomes a matter of no little importance. It ihould be remembered, in this connection, that tome kinds of food tax the digestive organs much more than other* do, and tuat the time of digestion ranges from one hour, for a few articles, to more than five hours tinder ordinary circumstances. Of course, the stomach like other organs, will be in a good condition, or otherwise, depending on the treatment received, the amount of exhausting labor. This principle is well iliuatroted by a reference to two being-, | vtidea of food, rice and pork, the former demanding, under ordinary circumstances, but one hour for digestion, while the latter is exceedingly taxing, requiring five and a fourth hours t Now, admitting that the stomach, like all parls of the body, must hare some rest, or utterly fail, lose its power of action, it is manifest, with the usual customs, that it will have but little or no real rest, when pork is eaten at two meals in succession. To use pork, therefore, will tax the stomach about as ranch as the body would be exhausted by the labor of twenty hours each day, instead of ten, of course diminishing its effectiTe power, laying the foundation for dys- ]>epsia. Nor is this all. This food, demanding so great an outlay of di- | Restive power, does not yield a fair roof nourishment, not enough to It takes but a short time for a person to see that the stock carried by s MANN BROTHERS Is by far the most complete in town.

The hog is a scavenger,intended to devour the filth of the world, ss the most expeditions way of disposing of it, and the flesh is so filthy that the average beast of prey will not touch it till driven to desperation by intolerable hunger I The fat hog, almost without exception, has a fatty, diseased liver, oftener than otherwise ulcerated. Not provided with the usual means of excretion of the higher orders of animals, the hog has streams of filth flowing out near the joint of tho fore feet, toQBtitutinga part of, the delicious articles soiled souse! When thw swine's flesh is salted and smoked it is still more ditEoalt of digestion, still mors Jyspoptic-producing. It is not strange, therefore, that Moses, instructed and inspired by the great Jehovah, should call this beast an "abomination,* for* bidding its use as food to all people, si »11 times, as he did profanity f Similar objections may bv raised to most of our complicated dishes—well represented by the mince pie, when fashionable, containing from twenty to thirty different ingredients—so taxing or ruining the digestive organs, even in early life, that proper appropriation of the nourishment of food cannot be made. Nature loves simplicity, as may be seen in the limited "bill of fare" of the ox, and thnt girmt in strength, the elephant, the grasses and a few of the groins. Indeed, the human body is composed of bnt few elements, mostly of four! Hence, just to the extent that we depart from this simplicity, we are predisposed to dyspepsia,— Pr. J, H, Hannford.

There were six who jumped from the window and were killed and. .one man, after'savlng the lives of two women by lettiu- down a rope from the roof, was himself killed by the burning of the same rope l>efore he reached the ground. This was Mr. Sullivan, brother of the proprietor of the printing works. The fire originated by the explosion of a gasoline stove on the second floor. The flames entered the elevator chute, which te next to the stairwav, and till chance of escape was thus cut oil. The killed wore mostly employes of dye works which occupied a portion or the building. Looking over the scene after the event it is plain that every life could have been easily saved.

The commissioner of the general land offic* las issued a circular regarding suspension o* itial action on timber culture and land cia'inr' n a number of western states and territoriesi vhieh is causing a great controversy and de" :i !cd opp; sition from agents and attorneys en ijaged in securing patents lor claimants.' It is .•laimed to be a great hardship to settlers ivisbing to prove upland and borrow money to ^ontiniie improvemerits. Commissioner Sparks says the order was intended for what. lie called ,4infe ete.l .districts." Ho has dozens of letters from residents of such districts^a-p-' proving the order. They sav in mant-reglons not one entry in fifty is bona fide-.-^'He says: "Timber entries are almost^fformly fraudulent. Now it is to ciitcb-these ptople that I tiave said that we •w>um suspend final action on claims. I believe fully, one-half of them were fraudulent. In this way I believe I have ii\cdMfihe public domain fully 1,000,00,) acres si»CJ April 3. The charge has been ma le that the order was political and geographical in character—that the South was excepted. What we are really after is to prevent the public domain from going into the hands of ranchmen aud speculators. A bona fide settler eaty borrow just as much money on his certificate of entry or his duplicate papers as he can upou a patent. The south was excepted because the bulk of fraud is not in the south. There is five time as much territory in the nortVthat is not Included in the order. Michigan^ Wisconsin, Iowa, nearly all Minnesota, Nebraska aud Kansas are not included, and in two of those states, Michigan and Wisconsin,,! know there is fraud that we ought to look ifter. When I am satisfied that there is good faith on the part of a settler there will be na difficulty in his getting a patent. I shall/satisfy myself by means of special agents ana detectives whom I can thorougly trust and upon tbern I ehall pat such checks and counter detection as will make It. absolutely pertain that no false sweartag or frajid can secure a patent.

The rejxirt further states thut after the arrival of the troops at Gubat it required a groad deal of time to select the crews and prepare the fteamersfof the advance to Khartoum. Rcj>orts of a battle in Mexcohave been received. Three hundred Yaquis are reported killed, and the Mexican loss is 80 killed and wounded. Four Americans were killed. El Mahdt is retiring his troops everywhere. Spain has removed the fixed duty on wheat- Victor Hugo, the famous French poat and author, is dead. The railroad plant now at Suakim is to be sent to England. Tiie British House of Commons has adjourned until June 4. Natives fear a general massiaere by El Mahdl after evacuation of the Soudan by the British. A rupture has occurred in the negotiations for a commercial treaty between England and Spain. Turkish officers are still busily engaged In Slautlug torpedoes lu the straits of tho Daranelles. Mr. Phelps, United States minister to England, has been formally presented to Queen Victoria. Victorelliigo theJirJllIajijLFjPinch author, H 111 with heart disease and congestion of the lungs, aud not expected to live. The Sultan of Turkey tendered Gen.

Mr. Lowell, late United Stated minfster to> Eugland, will leave for the United States about June 10, Mr. Phelps, the new minister, was warmly welcomed. The two men, Cunningham and Burton, wh» were arrested and held for trial on a charge of treason-felony, for complicity In the -late-explosions in London, have been "sentenced to imprison Bavnt for life. A great battle is expected to be fought soon at Khartoum, between El Mahdl and the rival False Prophet. The latter has collected an immense iorce of followers and they are now advancing to attack the Mahdl. Gen. Wolseley has issued a farewell address in which .he announces the withdrawal of the British troops from the Soudan and highly praises the conduct of all the departments of tue-survice d\H4«J,' the -campaign-. All the leading rhiglish journals congratulate Canada on "what tiiey deem the practical suppression of the rebellion in the uorthwest. They compliment the troops on their skill and the courage displayed by tne commanders and men. hi most quarters the hope is expressed that' the governm nt will not repeat the previous error oi sno.ving leniency to RleL In the house of common's on the 11th ins*., Lord Harrington, m nister for war, stated that thlf government had definitely decided to ahandon the piau o, advance oti Khartoum. The JJ' it.i.di troops would be concentrated at Wady Haifa and Assouan. Suakim could not be evacuated until air arrangement could lx) made to garrison the place by the troops of some civilized power. These 'changes lu the orig'nal plan of operations in the Soudan would make it unnecessary to push forward the railway from Suakim toward Berber. London advises of Mav 25 say: The Times fears that a lio-tih- co.iib'n uion against British influence and interim's in Egypt has been organized by the European powers. Their actfc.n in respect to the Egyptian e invent! >n and in forcing the khedive, Jiy their protests, to rcluud frie live per cent which hud been deducted from the coupons, has been clearly intended to show that they are de|ennu>d 'to insist on every point against England. Th" hitter has possession, however. ' The detention of the guards in Egypt need not be attributed to the difficulty with Russia. Affairs in Egypt are serious enough to enforce" precaution, if not to justify uneasiness. Grant's Farewell Message. A farewell message from Gen. G r a n t to the soldiers who fought under his command was dictated by him recently to Lieut. J. Hoibrook, of (i. A, R. Post, No. 8, of Boston, who ' in/Company with several other gentlemen were calling upon the general. Just before the gentlemen took their departure Gen. Grant arose, and shaking bands with them, sent a message to the boys in blue to be delivered to them at the annual encampment in Portland. Me., in June. He said: "Tell the boys thai they probably will never look into my fac.2 again, nor hear my voice, but they are engraved on mv heart and I love them as my children. What the good Lord has spared me for is more than I can tell, but it is, perhaps, to finish up my book, which I shall leave to the boy9 in blue, and In which they can not only see me, but follow mc in the acts which they helped me." Oliver Wendell Holm** has written a new poem euloqiaUfl of Dr. Benjamin TIroula, the aalfonoinor.—' — Michigan Take Heed. Prof. Kedzic of the agricultural college, has been making an analysis of the well and hydrant water which has been sent, him from I'lyrrtouth, Pa.,"the village in which the malignant"typhoid fever epidemic rages. 'He is positive that the disease is due to the water which has been consumed. Upon one side of a certain street where hydrant water is used the fever rages, while upon the opposite side where there are wells there is no fever. For a period this spring water was taken from the Susquehanna river, where the reservoirs of the water company were low. This wat^r held the sewerage of Wilke-ibanv, Pittam and, Scranton aud also the sulphur water from several mines. The water which Prof. Kcd-dc analyzed was. taken fTOtn a well and hydrant. The well was in a yard near a privy vault aud seven children of the family which"us"d the water have been ill. Both jars upon being opened emitted an offensive odor. The water was tilled with white llecky substances and both sp •einv'iis, when experiments were made.for nit.ates, g ive a marked precipitate, Both waters 'turned very.'dark.

Unique Race with Many of t h e Virtues a n d of the Vice* of Civil Itatlou. From a lecture by Joseph Thompson: A more remarkable or unique Ace does not exist on the continent of Africa—indeed, I might safely say in the two hemispheres. In their physique, manners and customs and religious beliefs they are distinct alike from the true negroes and from the Galla and Somali. They are the most magnificently modeled savages I have seen or even read of. Beautifully proportioned, they are characterized by the smooth and rounded outline of the Apollo type, rarely showing th? knotted and brawny muscles of the true athlete. The women are very decently dressed in bullocK's hide. They Wear, by the way of ornament, from twenty to thirty pounds of thick iron wire coiled round the limbs, arms and neck, besides a great assortment of beads and iron chains. The men wear only a small kidskin garment round the shoulders and breast, that being of somewhat more ample dimensions among the married men. The most remarkable distinctions characterise the various epochs in the life-history of the Masai. The boys and girls up to a certain age live with their parents, and feed upon curdled milk, meat and grain. At the age of 12, with the firls, and from 12 to 14 years with the oys, they are sent from the married men's~irxaa1to one in which there are only young unmarried men and women. There they live till they are married. At -this stage th« men are warriors, and their sole occupation is cattle-lifting abroad and amusing themselves at home. The young women attend to the cattle, build the huts, and perform other necessary household duties- Both sexes are on the strictest diet. Absolutely nothing but milk and meat passes their lips. Spirits and bear, tobacco, or vegetable food are alike eschewed. So peculiar indeed are they in their notions, that they will not even eat the meat of any wild animal. Moreover, the meat and , milk are ne/ver taken together. For several days the one is their sole diet, to be followed by the other after partaking of a powerful purgative. On killing: a bullock they drink Ihe blood raw, which doubtless supplies them with the necessary salts. " In eating meat they always retire-to the forestsin small parties, accompanied by a young woman. So pleasant; does the Masai warrior iind this life that he seldom marries till he has passed the prime of life and begins to lind his strength decline. The great war-spear and heavy buffalo-hide shield, the sword and Hie knobkerry, are then laid aside. For a month he dons the dress of an unmarried woman, and then becomes a sta I and respectable member of Marai society. He goes no more to war, but devotes himself to the rearing of a brood of young warriors. His diet cjmnges with his mode of life, and he may indulge in vegetable food, drink beer or spirits, and, smoke or chew tobacco. At death the body is simply thrown out to the hyenas and vultures. — • , ^ , •• Why He Stopped Drinking. '•No, 1 won't drink with you to-day, boys," said a tlrummer to several others as they settled down in the smoking car and passed the bottle. "The fact is, boys, I have quit drinking; I've sworn off.s' His words were greeted by shouts of laughter by, the jolly crowd around him; they put the bottle under his nose and indulged in many jokes a t his expense, but he refused to drink, and was rather serious about it. ~ "What is the matter with you, old boy?" sang out one. "If you've sworn off drinking, something is up; tell us what it is?" "Well, boys, I will, although I know you'll laugh at me. But I'll tell you all tne same. I have been a drinking man all my life, ever since I was married; as you all know, I love whiskey —its as sweet in my mouth as sugar— and God only knows how I'll quit it. For seven years not a day passed over my head that I didn't have at least one drink. But I am done. Yesterday I was in Chicago. On South Clark street a customer of mine keeps a pawnshop in connection with his other branches of business Well, I called on him, and while" t was there a young man of not more than twentyfive, wearing threadbare clothes, and looking as hard as if he hadn't seen a sober day for a month, canio in with a little package in Ins hand. Tremblingly he unwrapped it, and handed the article to the pawnbroker, saying: "Give me ten cents." "And. boys, what do you suppose that it was? A pair of baby shoes, little things with the buttons only a trifle soiled, as if they had been worn only once or twice. ""Where did you get these?" asked the pawnbroker. ,^-^ "Got 'em at home," replied" the man who hid an intelligent face and *-gen£leman, Respite his sad condition. '/My^-mV wife bought them for our b&by^ Give me ten cents for'em—-I wan't a drink." "You had better take the shoes back to your, wife; the baby will need theibv" said the pawnbroker. - X'No, s-she won't, because—because .she's dead. She's lying at home now —died last night." "As he said ibis the poor fellow broke dqvvnr bowed his head on the show-ease and cried like a child. Boys, said the drummer, you can laugh if you please, but I—I have a baby of my own at home, and I swear Til nerer drink another d r o p . — ^ — - Then he got up and went into a n - other oar. His companions glaneed at each other in silence; no one laughed; the bottle disappeared, and soon each was sitting in a seat by himself, reading a newspaper. Chivography vs. Phrenology. "I tell you it is all humbug about an expert being able to tell all about a person's character by his handwriting," said Raymond Smytho. "1 don't ageeo with you. Tho bold man writes a bold, reckless hand. Just look at the signature of the great Napolean. It.looks more like a Hash of lightning than a signature. The business man writes a business hand. The close, stingy man can be detected in his handwriting," replied Andrew Wells. "That's what these experts all say. I gave the matter a practical test, and I am in a condition to say that is a fraud." "How did you make the test?" "For more than six months I had been paying serious attention to Miss Birdie McGinnis, one of the belles of Austin. As far aa I could judge, she was the right kind of a girl to make an excellent wife. She was mild and as gentle as a lamh whenever I called on her.' I wanted a meek sort of a wife, for I have to have things my own way. She was, moreover, very industrious, which is a very desirable habit in a wQnian nowadays. She seemed to be very economical, which is another good thing to have in the family." "You seem to have found a model woman." T h a t is what I thought', but I had my doubts, foYone day as I was riding past I saw her chase her grandmother through the yard with a broomstick, but I thought they were only playing, although she hit the old lady some pretty solid whacks." "What did you do to verity your suspicions?" "Well, just about that time I read in a New York paper that lJrofessor Smith, on being furnished with a specimen of the handwriting of a person ant' six dollars in advance, would furnish a perfect analysis of the writer's character I sent on the six dollars and one of Birdie's letters, and in a short time received an answer to the eflect that the lady who wrote the lines was a female; that'she was of a demure, quiet disposition, whose character couId be ea sily m o u l d e d , t h a t she was economical, and incapable of deceit. On the*strength of this 1 dis- Trussed my doubts. 1 proposed, was accepted, and we were married." "Your wife turned out just as you expected?" Smythe fixed a stony gaze on—Wells, and then he yelled: "No, she didn't by a blamed sight. Shakespeare's shrew was a lamb compared to her. She will light a crosscut saw. She has bankrupt me. And as for deceitfulness, she beats the mis- Chief. Everything is'false about her, from her hair down. That's how you can tell all about a person's character by handwriting." "Why don't you put your foot down? Whv don't you make her behave herself'?" "1 did try it once. I'd rather op into a cage full of tigers. No, sir; this finding out all about a person by the handwritiug is a humbug. But I'll tell you how to iind all about a person; by phrenology. 1 had my head examined, and the professor described my character to a dot." "What sort of a man did the professor say you were?" "Ho said I was a man of undoubted firmness—a born ruler of men; that I had a will that would break, but not bend, and that I was brave even to rashness." _ - ^ i ^ r "When did you have youxc^h>a^-eA. ; ^ l l t amined?" ^f^ ^ f t w h i "That accounts for it.

On April 1.0, an industrial convention will be held at Richmond, under the auspices of the Virginia State Agrictiltural society, to discuss tho best and most practical means'of furthering the general prosperity.of the state. The executive eommittte of the society, Messrs. It. V. Gaines, W. C.( Wickham, ajid A. S.

He visits ranches whore there are indications of prairie dogs, and offers to clean out the dog town for 1 cent per dog. The cost is so tow that the ranchman does'nt hesitate to accept the offer. One ferret will clean out from one to fifty dogs before he tires out, and when one is tired out a fresh one is put into bervice, and soon until the place is rid of dogs.

A prominent English agricultural society at a recent mooting decided in future to abandon the public dinner hitherto held in connection with the show, and to substitute an ordinary refreshment tent.

"What we do not know about the every d;iy facts of crop-raising is more tnan what'wo do know; and every discussion between farmers reveals the absence of settled principles, while failures from poor judgment are numberless." THE IURKD GIRL. Her Traits and Privileges—How Much It Costs to Keep Her. Tho discovery was made by a newspaper paragrapher some years ago that'it takes three to make a pair—he, she, and the hired girl. This truth was suspected for a previous decade or more, but no mind'had been discerning enough to emulate it. Since it has become an axiom of family life, it raises the party of the third part to unimportant rank i n ' t h e domestic circle. That she is important no one who has ever hired her has failed to find out. Happy are they who meet in her a treasure. Twice happy are they who can get along without her. Industrial Pursuits in Paris. Statistics show that, more than half a million of Parisians are employed in commerce, trade and banking operations, while of the artisan class there are considerably more than a million and a quarter. The. liberal professions seem to occupy but a small proportion of the population. All combined do not amount to 200,- 000. The great majority are in public service, which employs more than .medicine, law and divinity combined. 'But after the public service it is art ch gives employment and liveli- •Shortlv after I was ruarAed." hood to the greatest number of Parisians. Forty-two thousand get their income from this branchof industrv. The doctors come after, but a leng way after. Medicine, in its branches, supports 18,000, the branches,, of course, including chemists and all compounders and vendors of niedieine. Then comes the law, with all its Ui.OOO votaries, from judges to crier. Literature figures very low on the list, for, grouped with science and journalism, it gives employment to only 11,000 people, while all the clergy of all the persuasions amount to but half that number. On the whole, Paris would seem to be more industrious, more artistic, less literary and less religious than the ordinary visitor would suppose, while the proportion in which the-4vorking class exceeds those who live on their own incomo is more remarkable, as Paris is tho recognized center of expenditure and extravagance for all- jPranee,—Philadelphia Press.

Many lovers of ohi London will regret that Christ's hospital, as a building on its present site, is doomed by theTeorganization scheme of the charity commissioners. How many old blues, scattered throughout our colonies and serving her majesty in all quarters of. the globe, will also hoar with a pang that their time-honored school has come under the auctioneer's hammer, and vanished in the wake of Temple bar and other relics of tho past, to be remembered hereafter only by antiquaries!

As a rulo the latter, having had at least tho rudiments of a common school education, are to a marked degree more intelligent and capable than the former. The wages paid these domestics tango from $2 to $4 a week, the former sum going to the least experienced and cllicient, and the latter to the favorites of wealthy families and cooks in restaurants, whose work is especially hard. The average pay of the girl who can wash ami iron and do part or tho whole cooking for a family of reasonable size is S3; and it is a, price which makes these girls one of tho most independent classes in the. community. Some business men would be "glad in these times after paying all their bills for food, fuel, rent, washing and lights, to have $3 a week left for clothing arid other purely personal comforts. When the average domestic appears on the streets in her Sunday clothes she carries; about her an air of comfort and respectability which is often puin fully lacking among a crowd of shop girls. And tbero aro some kitchen maidens of whom it can truly bo said., "s^e is very much of a ladv. It is common to accuse this class of putting every cent they can earn on their bucks, and that, too, in a fashion that will cause the most possible display. Still there are Springfield hired girls who are real estate owners, and "forehanded" in other respects. Many of them have money laid by in the savings bank, and one local Institution can count up more, than a thousabd-depositors-fromthis olaSfc. The amounts invested are also considerable, some of the books bearing credits of $1,000 and even $1,200. The usages qf society are as firmly established in the kitchen as the parlor. Calls are made and returned with, due formality. As a general thins:, the domestic doer not associate with the shop girl, the feeling of superiority of one over the other being mutual.- And the domestic has a set of her own, into which not every servant need apply foradmission. The stand- 4ag of rlie employer's family is generally considered when a new-comer seeks to mingle in the highest circles, education, ability to do fancy work, and a few similar accomplishments being also regarded. , Some of the Springfield domestics haVe married very well''and maintain orderly and attractive homes to which they wel- 1 come their unmarried associates. Others who were carefully brought up in our best families, have niarrfed poorly, and the places where they live are as untidy and fever-breeding as any in the city.. The contrast between the knowledge of this class and their [ use of it is painful enough to sicken j the most hopeful iinnon relief visitor I in the laud. TheyTTold themselves to : step into any ho#seto which they may j be called on an emergency, and "do up 1 the work, whatever it may be, in cxj ceHent' shape, and they teach their i children to tl<» tin-, same, for a consid- ] srarion.

Tiify lay. down the law that | their girls can have only one. afterj Qoon and one evening out each week, while other-* allow theirservants to be iway whenever ihcir absence does not inconvenience the family. And the contrast is kept up all along the scale. 3ne woman was heard to remark a while since that when she caught the jirls reading the daily paper she guessad they'd catch it.

The lest girls are kept in the same famitter- yexrr after ~yearr while the poor w s are constantly floating through he intelligence offices.. A well-to-ao family will do almost anything in order to keep a first-class girl. Cases have been known whore they paid her full wages and also paid ner board during their absence in California of Europe, it is probably more common to pay her half-wages in such cases. How much it costs to keep a girl is a much mooted question.. Some mistresses of experienco put the amount as high as $10 a week, and claim that tfifty l?avc figured out this result oareftuTy. They allow $3 for wages, $3 To? b>ooaarrdd,, £4 for waste, pprroovviide d the servant is loft to do about as she pleases.

There are a few American girls who still drift into house service* and of course there are Springfield kitchens which employ other nationalities, but the Irish Crtholics almost monopolize the business. And most house-keepers will .admit that on t h e whole they prefer Cotholics, the re^ straints of the church being found tobe salutary and more effective thai* those which usually rest on other servants. This whole subject hae many possible ramifications, and the present article shall close with a reference to a glowing argument lor p r o - tection, which a prominent Fourth .ward manufacturer recently made at. a ^New York hotel dinner-table, be* cause of the prosperous condition of the Springfield hired girls. "Gentlemen," said he, "let me tell you that when my wife and I start for church Sunday morning from the front door there is just as much finery going o u t at the back door as my wife can support. This is a glorious country which pays its domestics so that they can afford to dress in that way, and help swell the demand for such goods. And protection has done it."—Spring* field Republican.

Graham, who during the decade between 1840-1850 was to ihe Ameriean literary world what the publishers of Harper's Monthly, the Century and the Atlantic are to-day Graham's Magazine, published at Philadelphia, was the most popular periodical of fcn* day, and numbered among its contributors the most distinguished writers of the time, among them being Longfellow, Bryant, Fenimore Cooper, Lowell, and Bayard Taylor. Many of Longfellow's most popular poems first appeared in this magazine, one of them being "The Village Blacksmith." Mr Graham was one of the most liberal patrons, aud authors received from his compensation for articles that, as compared with the usual rates then paid, was princely. He amassed a large fortune, which he lost, in the Philadelphia North American and in speculation. He, afterward recovered partially from this joss, but in 1853 sold his magazine, and since then has been a comparatively poor man and for some months past entirely dependent u^on the charity of friends. During his prosperous days he entertained the most noted men and women of the time, and was libberal and charitable to all who were in need. After his failure he was employed on newspapers Until some months ago his eyesight farted and he is now an inmate of the aim* hospital in New York, supported b £ * few old time friends who feel it a|r honor to contribute generously toH&e necessities of others.

'„'V MAKKET PRICE FORThe Republicans of Illinois and of the entire couutry congratulate. Gen, John A. Logan on the spleudid vie, tory he has won. The struggle a.i Springfield has enhanced his reputation as a resolute fighter and as/a winner. It was a contest that with respect to the element of uncertainty was withoufa precedent in our history. At the beginning of the/session the Legislature was evenly divided between the parties," with a prospect that it would remain so/, and that no election would be possible except by the use of-money on one side or the other. The Republican caucus nominated Logan, all but two Republican members pledging themselves to his support. One member was opposed to him on personal grounds, and another refused to be bound by the decision of the caucus, feeling free to vote for any Republican. The 100 were ibr "Logan or nobody." Backed by this array of honest and sturdy supporters, General Logan resolved to stay in the fight till there was an election or an adjournment. His determination was almost universally approved, by none with more ardor and enthusiasm than the members who had enlisted in his cause displayed. Their devotion to Logan, under the circumstances, was such a tribute as few men have ever been honored vrhh. It was inspired by admiration of the man and an aopreciation of his services and deserts. Their allegiance was voluntary. In - no instance did k r e s t on the pro m i se or prospect of a reward. General Logan is poor, and moreover he spurns the methods of disreputable pojiitcans.

President Cleveland is earning u great reputation tor good nature. Especially is this shown by his taking time whenever possible to see the people who merely wish to shake hands with hiin. About two weeks ago he caused it to be announced that he wiu&disoontinue, because it took up too touch time, the practice he had fol- DECORATION DAT PROCLAMATION* VYHEB¥AJ, the thirtieth day oTftfay is a holiday set apart by law for the commemoration 01 patriotic dead. TH EKE FORE, I, BUssell A. Alger, Governor of Michigan, do call upon ail citizeus ot the State to express upon that occasion their grateful rememberance of the services of onr Army and Navy; find I invite all comrades of the Grand Army o> the Republic, all soldiers and sailors of the late war, lowed since the fourth of March of i tbeitote troops, and all civic societies, V olition of the system of book keeping so long and so successfully employed in connection wi^h the stamp business of the internal revenue bureau. Some such matter has been under consider-' ation.butno such sweeping course is contemplated. The Commission is satisfied that the work can be simplified very materially, and a change of system of collerting the revenue is7 also under consideration. Secretary Man- '»i»g thinks that altogether too many ofl§[ials are employed outside? of Washington in this work, and he will endeavor to dispense with the services of a large number. S. W. Saxton, one of the chiefs of division in the First Comptroller's office, received a request for his resignation this moming and immediately carried the matter to Secretary Manning and asked whether it was his desire- that the resignation ^•svould be tendered. The Secretary re- ^. pb*4 that be had not known of the re- > «Mst and would take the matter under •trisement. How. An Editor Popped. Editors have their peculiarities as well as other critters. They practice and inculcate brevity which is a virtue. They are absent-minded which is a tailing. It is not strange then, that one should send a note to his lady-love like the following: —^Dearest Angeline— I have carefully jf^Howing diseases: analyzed the feeling 1 entertain tor you, and the result is sabstanciaLy as tallows; I adore you! Will you be mine? Answer?" Then after a moment of thought, he added, in a —dreamy, absent way: iWrito only on one « w o t the paper.

He gave the order to the ushers to this etfect but the people continued to come anyhow and persisted in asking to see him, so the President who can be so firm in. refusing the demands ot policicians when any principle would be violated by acceding to their request, proves to fce too amiable to disappoint those who ely ask a sacrifice of his peisonal lenience, and he does find the time wWnever possible to shake hands with those who want nothing more from him, though after as many as ore hundred assemble for that purpose and waits until he comes to them. The absorbing topic iq the Treasury Department, and in all administrative reform circles just now, is the course to be pursued in reference to chiefs of division. This large class of public servants, who have risen from the ranks of clerkships by long and faithful service, and acquired valuable experience and knowledge, are not protected by the civil service law. The President has said tht t these are not political places and that faithful and efficient men in these positions will not be disturbed. . In ithe Treasury Department tour chiefs of division have been displaced. First, the chief of the Appointment Division made room for Higgans, then two chiefs in the Sixth Auditor's office were superseded by partisan appointees, and then the chief of the Customs Division retired by request. These changes give riseto-daily rumors of requests-for the resignation of chiefs ot division, and tne most efficient as well as the least competent chiefs are named by these rumors. Some Treasury officials believe that Secretary Manning has already yielded to pressure in two or three cases and is not able to withstand the force brought to bear upon him. From this they argue that nearly all the chiefs of division were so. The pressure for appointment will undoubtedly lead to the displacement of all but th .¾ conspicuously edicient and competent men, but it is confidently claimed that none of these »vill be disturbed. It was reported to-day that Secretary Manning's retrenchment and reform Commission would recommend the ab4fe v e r a n d abcess4n lungs, .Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Prof. Ridgway of tho Smithsonian Institute, holds to his belief, and reiterates it with emphasis, that the English sparrow in the United States is a national misfortune. New Jersey now has a law to protect song birds from slaughter, which was threatened when the ladies of that and neighboring states began to wear birds' feathers and stuffed birds as ornaments. THE Old Testament Revision Company, which has just submitted its report to Convocation in England, held 85 sessions, and finished in Juno, 1884. These sessions, of about ten days each, comprised 792 days of six hours at a sitting. THE Wisconsin brewers have discovered that the new license law is so loosely drawn that a brewing companj may retail its own beer without a license. The result is that new beer shops are springing up in the oities of that state. A machine has been invented at Troy which will make 24,000 perfect matches in one minute. If it proves able to work many minutes in a day and doesn't demand too._long vacations in the hot weather, it may revolutionize tho match-making business. THK bravado and daring of the Rebel Rielhave forsakenJiini in his ..captivity, and-he is now playing the penitent dodge. He claims chat he was n t the instigator of the rciu'llion and that ho is a greatly, wroruvd man, which fact he expects to prove hy papers at the trial, which is t . be by martial law. A CANADIAN "volunteerwriting home from Duck Lake of the recent collision with Riel's re els there tells how the half-breed loader plays the inspiration game on his Indian and French followers. At the battle of Duck Lake he had a cross with him, and he s ratched it in three pi ces and showed it to theHhidianSj. *jnd told them the cross was struck three times with bullets from the enemy, and he never got a scratch. A few days before tho late eclipse of the sun he called all the I dian« together and had a council with them, and told them he was inspired by the Fig Spirit. Be told them that oa a certain day and at or about a certain hour the sun would get dark, This was the eclipse, and he got his inspiration from the almanac. On June 1, says the Philadelphia Times, the Pennsylvania railroad company will introduce a new air system o* signals in their passenger trains, to take the place of the boll rope now in use. When the air brake was first used it was discovered that the pipes were too small, and larger ones were put in. These old pipes will now bo used to signal from the conductor to the engineer when the former wishes to stop the train. The pipes will communicate with a small whistle in the engineer's cab, and the signal will be given by the conductor pulling a small rope, which WuThang on one side of the car. The -main advantage in this arrangement will be that it will be more difficult for the passengers to stop the train. Trains are quite often stopped by some excited or intoxicated passengers, and accidents are likely to occur when such a thing happens. CONTENTMENT is one of the least cultivated virtues. We Americans are especially a restless, ambitious people. At no period of the world's history has there been a more general race for wealth, or more aspirants for political power and social status. It is one great strife to rise above our fellows and assume cares we know not the burden of. Perhaps, as the country becomes older, certainly as we become a more reHgious • nation, we shall become wiser, and quiet contentment will be afore cultivated. Wealth will come^by years of honest and prudent accumulation, and Jiot dishonestly, at £he expense of our neighbors. PubUeT position will seek the men, instead of the scramble for place that *n#w. prevails. People will move more in ruts, but they will be assured of better tried and safer par.he It will b* called arivaLof theold fogyism but what mattersyrfif thepeoplo BX* / better and hapoier!

The Drovers' Journal special cable from Llveapoool quotes best American cattle hlgber, selling1 as high as 15? dressed per lb Early Peas. There aro some vegetables which we can buy in market as good as we oan grow at home. Peas are not one of them. We got peas from tho South, and they are very fair, but lack the delicacy of those from our own garden It is desirable, therefore, to get peas as early as possible. The sweet, wrinkled peas arc not, and never will he, as hardy as tho smooth varieties. The same is true of sweet corn; the extra early kinds aro not as swoot as Ihe later varieties; but, like peas, they are very good until we get Something better. The small, hardy varieties of peas, like the Karly Kent, will stand rough treatment. They can be. the moment the frost is out of the surface soil, and after they are up, it is seldom, if ever, that they are seriously injured by frost. A warm, sandy soil is desirable, with a southern exposure, and if on tho eastern or southern side of a wall or board fence or building, so much the better The soil can hardly bo too rich. It is a mistake to spade fine, light, sandy nights to love us but hurts us in every | luud'deep fin caily peas. The surface soil, which has been exposed to the sun is many degrees warmer than the soil below, which has only just thawed. The later varieties, planted when the soil is dry and warm,-can be covered with two, three, tour, or even live inches of soil, deeper or shallower as tho soil is heavy or light; but tho small, early peas should rarely be covered oveV two inches deep, and if the soil is wet and cold, an inch is sufficient. As soon as the peas appear, draw some earth up to the row with a hoe or rake, and it the soil is dry and light, half an iuchor so of soil may be pulled betweeu or oyer tho peas. If the soil is moist and heavy, it may* be corner by hi* discretion?

Foreign Owners of New York Property. According to the correspondence of the Troy 1\mesy the offerings of real estate in New York City this season aro less than in former years. This arises from the general depreciation of stock? and railway bonds. Real estate is held with increased tenacity. The uncertainty prevailing in Europe leads to extensive purchases by foreign capitalists, including some of royal blood. Among these is an extensive landed estate owned by Eugenie, and inchiriing some gilt-edged property whose rental is between $50,000 and $75,000 a year. The King of Sweden owns an estate valued at $500,000; the Grand Duke Alexis is also an extensive property-holdor, and large purchases hcum hiinp f i i n , ^ fny Q u ^ " Yiot^rlfl.. fm. P8LLS well to scatter a little stable manure on the side and on the top of the row. A board placed edgewise on tho north side of the row will reflect the rays of tho sun. Another method of hastening early peas is to soak them in warm water for twenty-four hours, jau! then mix them with moss or light sand and keep them warm and moisc until thoy sprout. Then sow them in the ordinary way—using plenty of seed.

If the land is rich, thick planting is desirable, as it favors early maturity.

Forwarding Garden Vegetables. When the gardener gives a plant a special advantage the result of which is to cause it to produce or mature earlier than it otherwise would, he is said to "forward" it. Tomatoes will bear long before frost, if tlfe'^e~ells are sown in the open ground. By sowing seeds in a hot-bed and raising the plants, the tomato is forwarded, if the seciU were sown last fall, and the plants kept in a hot-house to produce fruit in the early spring, that would be "forcing." Cucumbers nro forced under glass, but they may also bo forwarded. For illustration: to forward the cucumber, till some four-inch pots with tine, rich soil, sow half a dozen cucumber seeds in each, and set tho pots in a hot-bed, or stand them in a box which can' be set on tho sill of the kitchen window. Another method of staiting the seeds, if a good piece of turf can be had, is this: Take up a thick, strong sod, and lit it to a shallow box with, the grassy side down. The sides of the box need not be over three inches high. With a strons: knife, cut the sod into square*, which should be according to the size of the box, three or four inches square. Cut quite down through the grass-roots and tops, to the bottom of the box, to make sure that the pieces can be separated readily. Sow several seeds in tho earth of each piece of sod. which is of course bottom or earth-side up. Set this box of sods in the window or in a hot-bed, as . directed for the • pots. Either pots or sods must be watered as needed. When the seeds are tip and the plants begin to" show their rough leaves, remove all but two or three'in each pot,, or piece of sod. Do not pull out the extra plants, as it will disturb the roots of those, which are to be left, but cut them off with a knife, or pinch them off with the thumb and finger nails, close to the ground.—American Agriculturist fur April., Live Mock in April., . he work horses now need an abundance of strengthening food. Keep the harness, cleau and sou. It is easier to prevent galls than to cure them, especially during this busy >^asou, when a horse's labor is most constant and valuable. Many horses working upon soft ground arc best shod when they aro barefoot. Cows need careful watching during this season. When a cow's time approaches, the feed Bhould be reduced. Look out for garget and use the simple remedies often mentioned in these column*. Ewes with lambs need abundance of food, otherwise the lambs as well as the dams will suffer. If ticks are troublesome use a dip of tobacco water, or some one of the several preparations sold in the shops. We elsewhere (page 000), give full instructions for the pig stye and pasture.

Mrs. Kast is receiving excellent treatment at one of the asylums there and strong hopes are entertained of her recovery. The case of Mrs. Edward Ling, living three miles from this village, still proves to-be very peculiar: For four years and five months she has not sat up a moment, beina; lifted to the lounge and returned to the bed as soon as possible. During the past 14 months she has eaten but once in 24 hours and in every instance the stomach has refused to retain either food or drink over one minute. During the past two weeks she has been suffering Ironi a racking cough which in all probability will end her life. i 1 i . . - i 7 f , i SOUTH LYON DOTSProm the Picket. Born—To Mr. and Mrs. Ed.

A look at the public square yesterday morning would give you a glimpse of its inevitable appearance, if every body excised his apprarently malienahlfi right to occupy it. Nearly every business in town was represented there, as it apparently had a right to be. If some business men have a rignt to use it for personal purposes, then every citizen has an equal right, and we would like to build ;t printing office there. Surely an art car, wagons, drags, cultivators, rakes, etc., ad infinitum are o f ' n o more importance than butcher shops and printing offices. BREVITIES. Dexter's liquor tax is $1400.

During' a stroll in the vioUity ol Rose street the attention of & reporter was directed to an enormous canvas sign swung just inside the doorway of a large publishing establishment. Fuller investigation disclosed the fact that the inscription which was painted upon the canvas warned those who entered the building that there were Positively N'"» Manuscripts Wanted —and that, furthermore, all intruders should : Beware of the Bloodhound. ; —and, lastly, the following verses w-oco printed underneath these legends^ Who enters here with manuscript leawo lore and hope behind; ^ E'en TO tbe chains of maidenhood our blo»ds11inod pep 1» r)linri^-~7 •;AfterTu 1 ly assrfrTng himself that no dangers lnrk^din the hidden recesses of the highway, the reporter boldly aseemteel the stairs'and entered a little ofliio at the" head, of the first fight A middle aged man, who sat before a desk smoking, Was the sole occupant.

Turn" (in a very low key), "will you let Michael loose for a few moments?'' With a superhuman eflbrt the reporter explained that he had only come up stairs with a l.ttlo request. He wished to know why that sign had been placed in the hallway. "Oh! that is a different thing," remarked the gentleman; "git down and I will tell you all about it. That sign is placed there to inform would-be literary people ' who haunt publishing houses that their effusions are not required. I have counted as many as 500 persons in one day who have visited this office with manuscripts for consideration. Aspirants for literary fame are of both sexap, all ages and conditions in life. Lately we got so wearied out with people coming up with matter that they wished to submit to us that we had to do something in self defense. You will observe that our loathsome contemporaries have adopted the canvas sign. All through this vicinity yon can come across them. They are very effective, l o r instance, a young lady graduate comes tripping down town with a romance which her mother declares an ideal composition. She reads the allusion made to the "blood-stained pup" on the sign down staint. Fear overcomes ambition and P1 retreats in tears. Yes, we still receive effusions through the mails. Every morning we send a hand-cart over to the postoffice, and twelve or fifteen sacks of manuscript are delivered to us. Do we examine them ? Why we should.have to employ about thirty readers to do so. It would be rather an expensive undertakirg. But there is a moral to, all this. And it is, writing as a means ' of subsistence is played out. We could get all the manuscript we wanted without paying a cent for i t We receive excellent contributions daily, whose writers a»k nothing but that their, names appear in print.
