The steamer VWland, from Hamburg, which arrived at New York on the 17th i n s t , reports that ou August 14, off Sable island, the Danish steamer Thlngvalla was in collision with the steamer Gelsor.

The Geiser sank in about five minutes. Fourteen passengers and 17 of tho crew, and among them Capt. Mollcr. were saved. Seventy-two passengers and 33 of the crew were lost.

The Geiser left New York on August 11, bound for Stettin. The Thingvulla was on her way to New York, and was advertised to leave there on Augusta.*!. Avery heavy sea and dense fog were experienced through tho night and early morning of August 14. It is said an object could not be distinguished 50 feet uway by reason of the fog. Stories differ asto where the liability lies, if not. wholly due to the fog and heavy sea. The Thingvalla struck the Geiser on the starboard side amidships, close on to 4 o'clock in the morning. The boats then parted, und within live minutes the Geiser sank. The crew of the Thing-valla did all they could to save the Geiser'a crew and passengers, while still in doubt as to whether the ThiugvaLla was not dangerously disabled, but owing to the heavy sea only 81 wore saved. No other vessel was near at the time. The Wielaud ou hei way to this port was 100 miles away. At 11.80 o'clock on the morning of tho 14th the Wieland was sighted. Signs of distress were made by the Thingvalla, and a transfer of the passengers began. The sea was then very heavy, but no mishaps occurred in the transfer of passengers.

The steamer Wieland took 455 passengers from the Thingvalla und those saved from the steamer Geiser to New York. The Thingvalla was so badly disabled that after transferring her passengers she was compelled to put into Halifax.

Flannel shirts l i n e .become popular among the members of the I 'n i te i Mates senate. Senator I latt started the fashion by appearing in a blue and white ue striped sllirt some, time ago.

Hut tho astonl»h-men't of the senate was unbounded when Mr. Kdmunds walked into tlu^tdmmber wearing a shir: of white tiannel. SenJttoj Kdmunds the dignified, conservative iceberg from Vermont, had never before ap pearcd among his colleagues in so free and ca>y a costume. Verhaps blazers and tenni.-, shoes may yet find acceptance among oar nation's law makers.

erai lamentation, una win lay a gayiana o mourning upon the bier of the grealrgrTt^ e r a l - ami this universal sympathy, coming from all sections of the country, irrospoc five of party lines, is easily accounted-for when we consider that under an overruling Providence, the war in which Gen. Stierj-dan tnok so conspicuous a part, has resulted. in iiM-i"fiis*vl blessings to every state of our common country .

in surveying the life of Gen. Sheridan, it. seems to me that these were bis prominent features and the salient points in his char aeier undaunted-heroism, combined with gentleness of disposition. Strong as a In u in war, gentle as a lamb in peace. Huh:, daring,, fearless, undaunted, unhesitating, his courage rising with the danger, ever fertile in resource, ever prompt in execution ; his rapid movements never impelled by a blind impulse, but ever prompted by a calculating mind. 1 have neither the time nor the abilit,\ to dwell upon his military career from tiie lime he left West Point till tlm L'!(ise of the war. Let me select one incident which reveals to us his quickness of conception and readiness of execution. 1 !'e'H:r to his famous ride in the valley of Vi.'emiu^

One dol'ar contributed by eacli member of that organi/a-! tion throughout the country would create ! a fund out of which a suitable incmor,a! j coind be erected over the hero of Win-j Chester, which would be an ornament to I the beautiful city of the dead in which he now resides, and would substantially testify to the regard which the eK-soldiers entertain for the foremost cavalry o'licet of the union.

if the four northern counties of Idaho, containing a population of 20,000 people, were added to Washington Territory it could be admitted as a state. The inhabitants of the four counties of Idaho are anxmv.s to be annexed to Washington Ter-litory. Congress undoubtedly has the right io cut a slice from Idaho and add it to Washington Territory provided the inhabitants of t':e district in question should favor it. It is more than likely that sucli a move for annexation will be made.

struck by his gentiC disposition, his amiable manner, his unassuming deportment, his eye beaming with good nature, and his voice scarcely raised above a whisper. I said to myself.

Those who were admitted into the nine C l l - i io o Gen. Sheridan's home need not. b luld that, it was a 'peaceful and happy one.

Above all. ("ou. Sheridan was a christian. l ie died fort itied by the consolations of religion., having his trust in the saving mercies of our Redeemer, and a humble hope in a blessed immortality.

When the cardinal concluded the priests and seminarians and altar boys, with the cardinal occupying a seat at the head of the. catafalque, gathered about the bier. The cardinal burned incense about the casket and sprinkled it with holy water. He then pronounced the absolution, the seminarians chanted tho benedictus, and the services of the Catholic church over the body of Gen. Sheridan, this side of the grave, nvcrc at an end.

The casket was then placed on the should crs of the eight sergeants from troop H.. who have been with the remains as a guard of honor since thoir arrival, and were conveyed to the caisson at the door of the church.

It was about one o'clock when the procession reached the cemetery at Arlington. Arrived at the grave, Ht. Rev. J no. S. Foley, bishop-cleet of Detroit, conducted the services, which, wore brief. They included consecration of the. ground und the simplo rites of the Catholic church. At the conclusion of the religious services the light artillery fired a ni-litary salute of l.'i guii9, und the foot artillery tired three volleys of musketry. The bugle call for " taps" rang out on the clear air, over the heads oi tho hushed assembly, and the services wen over.

THE BlKTH TAX.

T h e A m e r i c a n P a r t y . The first national convention of the Amer

ican party was held in Washington a few days ago. There were about 200 delegates in the hall, representing aa states and territories. Hon. P . D. Wigginton of California was eleeted temporary chairman.

Mr. Wigginton predicted that the day was not far distant when it can truthfully be said that America is for the Americans. He believed that Americans have the courage and the ability to manage their own affaire, notwithstanding the fact t ha t America is becoming the cess-pool of the world.

Tho committee on permanent organization made its report recommending that the temporary officers of the convention be made the permanent officers of the convention. This was adopted.

The majority report of the committee on platform and resolutions was adopted. It favors tho abolition of the naturalization laws; demands that no criminals, paupers or insane persons shall be allowed to immigrate and that in order to become an emigrant to the United States a man must satisfy the consul at the port from which he wishes to sail that he does not come under the prohibited classes and must pay a per capita tax to the consul befoGe sailing. It declares in favor of prohibiting emigration of all persons not in sympathy with the government of the United Sta tes ; against alien ownership of land; in favor of free technical schools for American children, and in favor of the expenditure of the surplus for the buihling of fortifications and naval vessels.

At 10 o'clock Chairman Wigginton announced that nominations for a candidate for President of the United States were in order. Ex-Gov. Sharp in a brief speech f placed in nomination James S. Negley of Pennsylvania, Mr. Watts of Maryland nominated Abram S. Hewitt of New York. His uncomplimentary references to the HritisTnibiirThcfl^lTrrrTrei?lTcnty-trod-GT*nvcr--Cleveland were greeted with hisses from some of the members of the New York delegation. Judge Church of New York placed in nomination Jus. T. Curtis of New York. The California delegation seconded Mr. Hewitt 's nomination, as did also the

Dis t r ic t of Columbia. New York seconded the nominal ion of Mr. Curtis. The result o-f, the first ballot was as follows: Curtis , '».*>'•; Hewitt, 1 ; Negley, 4. Gen. Curtis was declared the nominee of the convention. On motion of a delegate from California, Gen. Curtis ' nomination was made unanimous amid great cheering.

Judge James N. Greer was then urnni mously iiominuted for vice-president, and the convention adjourned sine die.

TESTIMONIALS WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE. "My daviphtsr .Maud h i s used Hibbord's Rheu

matic S>rr.p And Plasters, which yoa so strongly recomnu-ndrd her to try tor inflammatory rheumatism. Her limbs were'badly Swollen, sad the poor £irl was in terrible agony. In the midst of the pain we wound the Plasters about her limbs, and, as a Tcsnlt the swelling was reduced and she became c iftct and rested. The syrup corrected her indigestion, cleansed the rheumatic poison from her blood, and she is now able to be ar»und the house. Hib-bard'a Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters are remedies of great merit. l l i v . J. RossitTs,

Suddenly a n..',se was heard and an eno rmous , ag'm, swoop ing do\vn from the cerulean >.ky. seized the babe wi th beak and eh:w-> ami began to soar onco more toward the sun , when the dist rac ted father , r u s h i n g madly , into his hut , took up a g u m W i t h o u t a momen t ' s hes i ta t ion the man po in ted his weapon at the cruel bird and fired.

A worm of a cream color about the size of a lead pencil and three-fourths to one and one-fourth inches in length is cutting small branches from oak trees in this vicinity. The worm girdles the limfras smoothly as if cut with a knife until it drops to the ground, and by splitting the fallen branch you will invariably find the worm knawing away at the heart of the limb.

VALUK Or 8KIM XII.K.

The Germans have carried on very careful experiments to .ascertain the nutrients required by farm animals at various periods of growth and fattening; tor the' younsr pier they consider it necessary to give four lbs. of heat and fat making food to one pound of muscle making fttod. Corn meal or corn supplies one part of mucle making to eight ot heat and fat making food, while skim milk is one of mucle making to two of heat and fat ma'kino-. From this we note that corn is too poor in muscle making elements while skim milk is too rich in the : ame. For young,.gfowin«r. pigs just after Leing w.?aned to get the right combination we should mix one part of corn or corn mend witb three and one-half parts (T»y weight) of skim milk. On such a diet as this mixture pigs should grow rapidly and from strong hones with large rangy frames. In two or three months the proportion of milk should be reduced to one of milk to two of meal and this continued until they are ready to fatten, when, if desired, they can be put wholly on a corn diet, though feeding a part skim milk will be profitable to the close of the feeding period. The tanner who will feed milk as T have just indicated will find that his pigs develop strong bones and are very heaUhy. Of itself, Fndian corn is a most wonderful food for the ling, but, unfrrtnmitely, it lacks in bone and mustde elements and if kept too exidusirely on this artirle hogs break down and are liable to die from numerous aiknents whidi are almost certain to attack them. No single food can be mentioned which is equal to skim milk or buttermilk for correcting the defects ot corn for hngs.

From carefully conducted experiments I am of the opinion that no large amount of milk is needed to accompany corn in order to make a good, strong in bone hogs; two quarts a day for each 100 weight of pigs or shoals will help out a corn diet wonderfully in this particular, thought more may be given with profit.

The question ot what skim milk is worth is an open one and cannot be definately stated. It one feeds milk only and alone to hog.-* he about five pounds ot gam in weight tor each 100 pounds of milk fed; this with pork at $4.00 per 100 would give the milk a value of twenty cent per 100 pounds allowing nothing for care or risk in feeding. W corn is fed along with the milk as I have dir«cted in this article then the value of the j milk will go still higher than when it ! is fed exclusively. Years ago the ; President of 1 he Illinois D;lirym3n«<, 1 Association, Mr. il. H. (.Hurler, after carefully conducted trials gave as a conclusion that skim milk is worth half as much per 100 pounds as corn is

worth per bushel. I regard ttiis as under the truth father than over it The farmer then who is milking ten cows and getting say 250 pounds ot milk daily, from which there ia left 200 pounds ot skim milk, has a daily feed value of a bushel of corn from bis daiy. This is entirely too low an estimate when we remember that the main use of this food article should be to build up healthy, vigorous hogs and not, to fatten them. I believe the statement to bo a moderate one, that in the great corn sections where large numbers of hogs are kept, and c^rn is the almost exclusive food, that skim milk is worth twenty-five cents per 100 pounds tor pig feeding; provided, ot course, that it is judiciously fed. The value of buttermilk does not differ much from that of sweet skim milk, and milk a little sour has not lo. t much feeding value for pigs. According to the last figures we see that the skim milk from a good dairy cow is worth from $8 to $10 per season. No small sum of itself. Here is an arguraeat, and a strong one too. tor the man who raises hogs to also keep cows. Corn and hogs exclusively will not do, for the hogs grow weak and die ot disease, but corn, cows and hogs g6 well together.

A perfect complexion, free from pimple or blemish, is very rarely seen, because few people have perfectly pure blood. And yet, all disfiguring eruptions are easily removed by the use of Ayer's Sarsapanlla. Try it, and surprise your friends with the result.

Few children can be induced to take physic without a struggle, and no wonder—most drugs are extremely nauseating. Ayer's Pills, on the contrary, being sugar-coated, are eagerly swallowed by the little ones, and are, therefore, the favorite family medicine.

Deserving Confidence. It is (juite surprising to notice the

numerous reports of remarkable cases of nervous diseases cured, such as headache, tits, nervous prostration, heart affections. St. Vitus dan.ê, insanity, and prolonged sleeplessness, by Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. This new and improved brain and nerve food, and medi'.'ire. is everywhere gaining a remarkable reputation for curing the worst of the>e diseases, as well as the injurious effects ot worry, nervous irritation, mental and physical overwork.

STATK_NEWS. ANOTHEK TICKET.

Convent ion of the Union L a b o r Pa r ty . —Bol te r s in I t

Proceedings of tha Convention. The Union Labor party held its state con

vention in Detroit on the 15th iust., adopted a platform and placed u state ticket in nom itiation. The platform adopted is as follows:

General discontent prevails on the part of the wealth producer. Farmers are suffering from a poverty which has forced most of them to mortgage their estates, and the prices of products are so low as to offer no relief except through bankruptcy. Labor era are sinking into great dependence. Strikes uro resorted to without bringing relief, because of the inability of employers in many eases to pay living wages, while more and more are driven into the street. Business men And collections almost impossible, and meantime hundreds of millionsof idle public money which is needed for relief is locked up in tho United"States t reasury or placed without interest in favored banks in grim mockery of distress. Land monopoly flourishes us never before, and more owners of soil are daily becoming tenants. Great transportation corporations still succeed in extorting their profits on watered stocks through unjust charges. The United States senate has become an open scandal, its membership being purchased by the rich in open defiance of the popular will. Various efforts are being made to squander the public money, which are designed to empty the treasury without paying the public debt. Under these and other alarming conditions, we appeal to the people of our country to come out of old party organisations, whose indifference to the public welfare is responsible for this distress, and aid the United Labor party to repeal exist ing class legislation and relieve the distress of our industries by demanding of the general government:

That all currency shall be issued to the people direct without the intervention of the banks, and of tho same amount per capita as gave us the prosperity of lStUJ;

That the coinage of gold and silver shall be free and unlimited;

That all idle money in the United States treasury shall be applied to the immediate payment of the bonded debt at par.

That all unearned land grants shall be forfeited, and that of speculators seized or taken and paid for by the government at a fair price and held for actual sett lers only

That government shall loan money to the people direct on land security at as low a rate of interest as it now furnishes to the tanks .

That every citizen may havo a home of moderate cost exempt from taxation or execution.

That the means of transportation, communication and all mines shall be owned or controlled by the government.

The letting of convict labor to contractors should be prohibited ; the contract system be abolished on public works ; the hours of labor in industrial establishments be reduced commensurate with the increased production by labor-saving machinery ; employes'protected from bodily injury; -equal pay for equal work for both sexes, and labor, agricultural and cooperat ive associations be fostered and encouraged by law.

Tho foundation of a republic is. in the intelligence of its citizens, and children, who are driven into Workshops, mines and factories are deprived of the education which should be secured to all by proper legislation.

Tho passage of a service pension bill to every honorably discharged soldier and sailor of the United States, and that the pay of the soldier of 1S01 to 1S05 for his services shall bo made equal to that of bondholders.

A graduated income tax is the most equitably system of taxation, placing the burden of government on those who can best afford to pay. instead of laying it on farm ers and producers, and exempting millionaires bondholders and corporations.

We demand a constitutional amendment making United States senators elective by a direct vote of the people.

The strict enforcement of laws prohibiting the importation of subjects of foreign countries under contract.

We demand of the state : That railroad property shall be taxed the

same as that of the individual. That railroad fare be reduced to two

cents per mile and freight, rates in like pro portion.

That the Australian system of voting shall bo adopted in Michigan.

That in order to prevent trusts, combinations and pools whose sole object is to fleece the people, legislation should be had making such conspiracies felonies, and punishable by imprisonment, as other criminals.

That the bounties given by Michigan during the war of the rebellion to her volunteers be equalized, ami that tho. soldier of 'HI receive the same as those who enlisted later.

That to prevent, monopoly of land v/e propose to place laxes equally on unimproved and improved land in the same localities. We would make it unlawful for any alien to own or acquire lands in the United States,

We denounce tho extravagance of the present state government, and demand the abolition of all useless state boards and officials and a rigid economy in the conduct nf the state government.

The following is the make-up of the state ticket:

For governor, Wiklman Mills of Sanilac; lieutenant-govornor, Paul Marrin of Midland; secretary of state, George McAllister of Allegan; treasurer, James T. Wiune of Eaton; auditor-general. Abel N. Howe of Jackson; attorney-general, John (). Zabel of Monroe; superintendent of public instruction, Mrs. !S. (-. V. Emory of Ingham; member of state board of education, John Rairdon of Wayne: commissioner of state land office, Melvin W. Scott of Newaygo.

Tho candidates for electors are as follows : At large—Valentine A. Saph, Marine City; Benjamin Colvin, Saginaw. F i r s t District—John Heffron, Detroit; second, Charles Southland, Adrian; third, Alonzo B. Allen, Coldwatcr; fourth. William Hull, Three Rivers ; fifth, Wni, T. An-Iva, Ionia; sixth, John M. De Witt, St. Johns; seventh, George Drury, Por t Hope; eighth, David Geddes, Thomastown, Saginaw county; ninth. Dr, Joseph Lamoreaux, Muskegon; tenth, Arthur H. Wells, Stand-tsh; eleventh, James ~H. Scallen, Houghton.

The first business was in determining the •eprcsentapon of delegates.

The counties represented were as follows : Oakland, Ingham, Gratiot, Manistee, Kent, Washtenaw, Benzie, Menominee, Delta, Jackson, Saginaw, Wayne. The total representation from those counties, as formerly agreed upon, vvas 211, and of those, seventy-two were .actually present.

Goorgo H. Archer of Iosco county, moved that tho, convent ion ratify the nomi

nations made at the democratic and greenback convention.

F . E. Kean of Kent, offered an amendment to the first resolution, providing that the contention proceed to the nomination of a union labor state ticket, one candidate at a time. This was :arried by a viva voce

/ v o t e , and Wellington It. Bur t unanimously nominated. Nominations proceeded down to the office of auditor general, the names being those on the fusion ticket.

Hartley Breen was nominated for auditor genera). Then the remainder of the ticket was s leeted : it being composed of the names on tho democratic and greenback ticket. It was voted that the Union Labor party ask for two more electors for president and vice-president, making in all live on the ticket The names of these two candidates will be named hereafter by the executive committee.

Hartley Breen suggested to the convention that an address be prepared to the labor people of Michigan, stating how near the labor party came to death by asphyxia, by means of a poultice of McMiliiun green backs. This committee was appointed and Mr. Breeu was made its chairmau. The other members ure Andrew Fyfe and T. M. Nesbitt . This committee is also made an executive committee to complete all unfinished business. A number of speeches were made and the convention adjourned, having occupied but an hour in its work. The question of adopting a platform was left to the executive committee.

A Mystery Cleared Up. A murder was committed about the ftoth

of last August on the farm of CharleR Chid-dester in Convis, Calhoun county, about 7 miles northeast of Battle Creek. The body was found concealed at the bottom of an old abandoned well on the Chiddestcr farm on the 15th inst. The well had been partly filled with earth, completely covering the body. It was immediately recognized as that of George ('ampbell. who suddenly disappeared about a year ago. since when nothing lias been seen or heard of him, Campbell was 21 years old ;md lived with his mother, a widow, on a small farm near Chiddoster's. • At the time of his disappearance it was reported that he had gone west.

Suspicious circumstances connect Frank House, :io years old. with the murder, and together with Campbell's continued mysterious absence caused the investigation and search. House was employed on the Chiddestcr farm a year ago, and immediate; ly after Campbell 's supposed departure claimed to have bought his team and other personal property and took possession of them. In the fall he left Chiddoster's employ and began working the Campbell place for the motherof the man whom he is supposed to have murdered.

On the arrival of the coroner the body was exhumed and fully identified by clothing as the remains of George Campbell. Death was caused by two fractures ot the skull. F rank House was arrested for the crime and held for examination without bail. He admits filling the old well, but denies all knowledge of the murder. House is a powerfully built man and-has served one term at Jackson.

T H E NEW COMMANDER.

Gen. Schofield Appointed to Succeed Sheridan.

The President has issued an order placing Maj.-Gen. Schofield in command of the army, with headquarters at Washington. Gen. Schofield will also continue in com mand of the division of the Atlantic.

Gen. Schofield was born in is:<! and is now at the ago of 57, in most vigorous life. For five years after graduating at West Point he was one of its distinguished professors, and shortly before the war opened he resigned to accept the chair of physics at, Washington university in Missouri He entered the field at the outbreak of the rebellion, and was soon detailed as chief of staff to Gen. Lyons. He was with him in the battle of Wilson's creek, and performed brilliant service in that early engagement.

In the spring of 1S03 ho was transferred for a short time to a command in the Army of the Cumberland, and was assigned to the division organized am! first eummanded by Gen, George H.Thomas He took charge quietly, and looked sharply after every interest, and when, at the end of a few weeks, he was assigned elsewhere, lie retired with the good will and ulTeetionate regard of this very particular division.

His services at Knoxville. in command of the '.'3d corps, in the Atlanta campaign antler Sherman,<juul in Tennessee in command of the Army of the Ohio, mid in North Carolina in independent command under Thomas, are known to the country. In every respect it was service of high order.

Lis civil administration after the close of the war was conducted with marked ability. He remained in North Carolina until after the recountruction convention had completed its labors.".

Immediately after the close of tho war he was selected by GoiY, Grant for a most deli-er.te and important mission, the inside history of which has never yet been made known. It was decided to act promptly in the matter of compelling the French to evacuate Mexico,

Tho movement, of Sheridan's troops to the border was for the purpose of using them, and more to follow, if it became necessary, to join the Mexicans and use force to end French role on the continent.

But before, crossing our forces into Mexico it was thought best to send a special ambassador to the emperor at Par is to make known the position, tho desires and the purposes of our government. Gon. Schofield was chosen for this mission, and succeeded in bringing the. matter beforo the French government without, tho least ruffling of diplomatic serenity. French action was prompt, and the order for evacuating Mexico was forthcoming.

At the close of President Johnson's im-' peaehment (ion. Schofield served acceptably till the end of the term as secretary of war. Gen. Grant was personally anxious to retain him, but the political complications of the time, growing out of tho impeachment, were such that it was not thought best to continue him.

Tn person Gen, Schofield is a little taller than Gen. Sheridan and a little heavier, He has a largo head and pleasant and intelligent face. He is a most dignified, courteous, and affable gentlemen, thorouglvty acquainted with public affairs, and fully versed in every detail of his profession.

While tho country stands mourning at tho grave of bravo General Sheridan, it is to bo warmly congratulated that his mantle lias fallen upon ono so well qualified to wear it.

CHAPTER XV (CONTINUED).

The situation was growing ridiculous, and if th:; Talberts disliked one th ing more t h a u a n o t h e r i t w a s a r l d i c u l o u s s i t u a -tlon. The best way out of this one seemed to be tha t Mr. Rawllngs should see the child and be satisfied it was not his missing offspring. So Horace rang the bell und des l r td tha t the little boy should be brought down.

Mrs. Miller, the nurse, upon receiving instructions to this effect, imagined that her charge was to be shown to visitors of importance. So she quickly put on his best garments, and made h im look very cherub ic He trotted into the drawing room a cabinet picture of childish health arul beauty.

Kawlhjgs looked at him with excitement in every line of his f.ice. His light blue eyes seemed t ) be start ing dut of his head. " M a r i a , " he whispered hoarsely to his wife, ' l ook a t him. Jus t what ours would have grown to. The same hair—the same eyes. Maria, is this not your boy? Answer me—and thank Heaven we have at last found h i m . "

The wife looked at not answer at once.

'•It is—I know it "Te I them so, Maria."

"I hope it s , " said his wife. The Talberts on hearing this lo >ked

stupe ed. The case was assuming undreamed of proportions. Dimly t ;ey saw t ' a t this recognition meant s trange things.

"M^ goo i man. " a.i'd Horace, "you are making a complete tu stake. > "< h, no, s i r - n o mistake. How can a la ther be mistaken'.' t h, my pretty bov— my 1 ng- lcs t lamb! Come to me and give me one kiss! Come to your fa ther . ' '

" W e may take our I ttle boy < ack with us at once, sir - m a y we no t . ' " asked Raw-lings.

••Certainly no t , " said Horace. hav • not given us the slightest proof your child. "

" H i t it Is, sir. knows it i-. '"

"Tel l us how it you can do that we claim for an in s t an t must be mis taken. '

" A b urd ' ' ech ed Herbert. "Tel l me whose child it is. if it i sn ' t

mine'.'" retorted the man. "Do that and I will go away, i don' t ca e how it came here. 1 Know it. i recognize it. It is my poor lo t little boy. and I will have it. "

The man g:e\v more excited than before. l l o r c e was intensely annoyed. He turned to the woman. " i o i se; rn to have some sense , " lie s a d ; do you claim this ch i ld? ' '

She glanced at her hu-band and tears sprang into 1 er eyes. "Yes s i r , " she said, " . believe it is my chil I."' T h e s tua-tion grew worse and worse. It was well for tli. boy that he had made such friends of Horace and Herbert or he must have been sacrifie d f r thwith, if only to rid the house of his self-styled father and mother.

As It was the Talberts temporized; they promised to c insider the "matter for a f e w days* and let Mr. Ka'wlings know the decision they might come to. Mr. Itawlmgs wrote on ins business card the name of an hotel at which he was staying, and having again and ag.iIn asserte.l that he would not be robbed of his re-found son, at last to the unspeakable relief of our friends, drove away In his gig.

Never had Horace and Herbert boon placed iu such a tllricttlty. Beside-, what a b u t Beatrite, ' Wha t would she say.1 Beatrice, to whom the ch Id seemed as the apple of her eye. Bitterly they blamed themselves for ever having yielded to her request that she might keep the foundling. But what was done was done and could not now bs helped.

Horace wrote to Beatrice by the next pos t He told her that some persons had called and claimed her boy. The whole thing, he said, was a great puz/.lo to him and to Herbe r t They had deferred thei r d cislon f r a few days. If possible, they would do no;hi g until her return.

Beatrice was alone when she read that letter. She turned deadly pale and seemed to gasp for breath. Then she rang the bell and ordered her things to bo packed. At br .akfas t she quietly told Lady Clauson that she found she must re turn to Black-town by the next train. She gave no reason for this abrupt departure, and her sudden determination annoyed I .adyClauson immensely. Sir Malugay said nothing. His daughter had long ago shown him she was entiro mistress of her own actions.

"Mark my Wi rds , " said Lady Clauson, as soon as Beatrice Jmd~ depar ted; " t ha t girl will some day do somothlng to disgrace the family."'

"Oh, nonsense, my love, " said Sir Main-gay, who had now been married l o n g

enough to find out that his beautiful wife was not ail tha t his fancy had once painted her.

Beatrice reached Hazlewood House quite unexpec e >ly. T h e Talber ts were out, so she ran.-fctralgbt to the nurse y. " W h e r e is my boy':"' she cr ed, *> vehement ly tha t she startled Mrs. Miller, who knew nothing of the purport of the vi It paid yesterday. The boy was there all safe, and Miss clauson, w thout removing h;T out-door garments , hugged and caressed her pet until she was tol 1 that her uncles had come in. >'he went t > theiu at once. They greeted her in a s ton i shment

" W h a t have >ou done about those wretched people?" she a-ke I <;utckly. " T h e i eople who claim my Iwy. I mean . "

'My dear, we have done noth ng as y e t " "You will not dream of giving him u p ? " " I hope we shall not be obliged t o . " "Lis ten, Uncle Horace." her cheek

flushed as she spoke. " I will give him up to no one - n o o n e at a l l . "

" I am sure, my dear Beatrice, you will be entirely guided by u s , " said Horace.

"Of co irse she will , ' ' *ald H rhert, kindly. They must have been sanguine men, as the set of M ss Clauson's brow did not promise well for her submitt ing to guidance of any kind.

"1 sha 1 never give up tha t boy," she said In a firm voice, "unt i l the person who claim i It gives every proof that i t is his. I would ra ther run away with him and hide m y s e l f

Horace looked extremely shocked. "My dear Heatr iee," he said, " i t grl ves us both to hear you talk so wildly. The child Is a very nice c'.ild, bat you speak of it as If it were of our own tiesh and blood."

Beatrice did not reply to this; but the upshot; was that the Talber ts promised to write to Mr. Kawlings and say tha t they held his recognition of a child not seen for more than two years Insufficient proof that it was h ; s own, and in the absence of further evidence declined to entertain his claim. After this Beatrice left them, and for some time they mourned over this new and s tar t l ing phase of demonstratlveness displayed by one of their own kin.

T w o mornings afterward, Horace opened a letter addressed to him in. clerkly writing. He read it and It secerned as if his . aw was about to fall. In silence he handed it to Herbert . Herber t read it and his face rede ted his brother 's em tiou,. One glance passed l>etween them and they knew tha t they were ot one mind. Horace turned to Beatrice.

"Bea t r i ce , " he said in a voice solemn as the grave, and in a manner decisive as the laws o r the Medes and Persians, " tha t child must b ' given u p . "

She started, but before she could speak she heard Herbert ' s echo, e .ually solemn and decisive: "Beatrice, that child must be given u p . "

This is a ti ue coply ( f the letter which fell like a bomb shell between the gentle and peace-loving Talberts

But Beatrice was by far the most agitated of the part . Her cheek grew white: the hand which she mechanically held out for the letter trembled. Herbert irave her the o istolary bomb-shell, and whilst. Mie read it the two brothers gazed at each other in tiiat sa ly calm and gravely reflective way at t i n e s na' ural to men whose minds are made up that a peculiar path < f duty must at all cosr be trodden to the end. 'When such a ga/.e parses from man to man it s trengthens the feet of t aeh to tread the stony course.

Beatrice read the letter twice. Without a word she returned it to Herbert: then

-she...walked-across the room to Ilk! replace and stood for some minutes tapping her foot upon . the fender. Her back being turned to the Talberts they could not see. the su reme emotion by her contracted brow and in every line of her set white face. Had they s en it they woul l have been more than s u r p r i s e d - t h e y would have been shocked. > t o n g emotion was a th ing to be shown by well-bred persons only under the most intense provocation. In this < ase it was uncalled for.

Presently the girl turned to them. "You have ipiito made up your minds to yield to thes"1 people s threat " she asked. There was a curious, strange sound in her voice.

" W e crtn do nothing e l se , " answered Horace. Herbert nodded a sad assent to his brother 's view of the case.

"Xothing else!" echoed Beatrice with a touch of scorn in her voice. "What right can these people have to the boy ' It is not theirs. I 'n le Horace, I 'ncle Herbert, sou can remember how he was sent here. How beautifully dressed lie was—how thoroughly cared for. Can you. can anyone for a moment imagine him as belonging to such persons ' What are they.' Pork butchers, you said." <-

" P u r v e y o r s , " interrupted Horace, who lo. cd to be precise.

•How is it possible he can be their child. '" urged Beatrice.

" . ' eople in any station of life may have children, my d e a r . " said Herbert, ut tering the trui m like a newly-found proverb of Solomon.

" A n d , " -aid Horace, speaking more to the point, " the broad fact remains that they claim the child a :ul are prepared to make tha t claim good before tho magist r a t e s . "

"Before the magistrates, my dear Bea

t r i ce , "echoedHerber t , dutlfullv accepting h ' s brother s version of the law.

" : ell t em to do so tell them to prove their right. ' said Beatrice.

The b ithers held up their loug shapely bands n horror. ' M y dear lieatri e, ' said Horace w th the solemnity of a bishop rebuking a curate, "for heaven's sake be reasonable. How can we possibly appear bet ore t o bench an I l o n t e s t t h i s claim'.* l a n e y the talk the ridicule! You mus t see the ut ter absurdity of your suggestion the ut ter im osslb llty of our compliance. '

"Yes. Beatrice, I am sure you mu t see I t , " s a d Herb r t

But Miss Clauson still continued unreasonable. She even re turned to the attack, " I do not see it a t a l l , " ^ e said. "If tills man lai i claim to one of your fields vo : would not give it up. '

"A field d e s not arrive unexpectedly In the middle of the nUht , " said Hora e — not humorously, but as one who states a s imple fac t

" T a k e a better simllie, my dear." ' said H e r b e r t "Suppose you picked up a sovereign on the treet and a man c.une up and swore it was his. Although you m ght have e e.y reason to< :oubt his assertion, \ou wo.ilii, 1 am sure, give it up iu order to avoid i nsecmly d i s p u t e . "

4 1 don t think I Bhould," said Beatrice defiantly.

' o h , yes, wy dear, you w o u l 1 , ' said Horace gravely.

" I am sure of i t , ' a d d e d Herbert. Beatr ce ( id not pursue Herbert s in

genlous a gument further. ">otb ing -no entreaty of mine will make you change \ o u r m i n d s / " she asked. T e brothers shook their heads sad y. It was painful to them to refuse her requ st, but thei grave eyes looked into the distance and saw all the honors which they imagined a contest with Mr. Hawlins wo Id arouse. Beatr ice knew tha t an- further appeal would be waste of breath. " I must LO and t h ink , " she said wearily, as she tu rned away from the arbi ters of the bo.-'s fate.

"L may say,"' said Horace with a slight blush on his cheek, " t h a t we both regret the necessity < f this surrender. As a rule we are not fond of children, but your little friend has been very go >d, and had It been po sible we would willingly have given him house room i ntil his future was assured. '

Beatrice took his hand and pressed i t " T h a n k you, ' si.e said gratefully. Then she passed through the doo- which Herbert held open, ai: . ct of politeness which not even the re 'a tumship of encle and niece or the proverbial ontempt - bre I bv famlliarty allowed the Talber ts to forget.

The brothers resumed their seats, and for a while silence reigned. The t: nth is they lelt angry and annoyed, perhaps even self-reproa hful. Impossible as it was that Mr. Bawling s claims could be contested, both Horace and Herbert felt a sense of shame natural to any I liglishman who finds himself compelled to < lehl y a mere threat. The wish to righ t everything out to the hitter end made England what it is. Perhao>. after all, when the came to think of i t the Talberts were fonder of the child than they cared to own. At any rate, after a long brown stud , Herbert, at least, showed signs of wavering.

Lesson IX, August 26, 1888. T H E M E : T H S P I I X A K o r CLOUD ASID O F

F I B B . — N u m . 9:15-38. 15. And on t h e day t h a t t he tabernacle

was reared up the clouds covered the tabernacle, namely, t he tent ot tho tes t imony; and a t even there was upon the tabernacle as it were toe appearance of tire, unti l the morning. 16. So i t was a l w s y ; the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of lire by night. IT. And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then a l t e r t ha t the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. 18. At the commandment of the Lord the children of iHruel Journeyed,and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents . IU. And when the cloud turried long upon the tabernacle many day a, theu the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and Journeyed not. 20. And so it wag, when the cloud was a few days HPoa the tabernacle; ucoording to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents , and according to the commandment of the Lord they Journeyed. 21. And so it was, when the cloud abode from even nnto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up m the morning, then they Journeyed; whether i t was by day or by night tha t the cloud was taken up, they Journeyed. 22. Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, tha t the cloud tarr ied upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents , and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they Journeyed. 28. At the commandment of the Lord they rested fn their tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they Journeyed; they kept the charge of the Lord, a t the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moaea.

G O L D E N T E X T . — O send out thy light and thy t r u t h ; let them lead me.—Psalm 43:3.

With th is lesson we enter the fourth book of the Pentateuch. In Genesis we found beginnings, the origin of life; in Exodus redemption; in Levit icus a month 's discipline in the science of worship; in Numbers the enumeration of Israel at the beginning and close of their journeyings and thei r "walk and warfare in the wilderness ."

The Lord could have counted Is rae l ; indeed, they were known by name to him, and yet he set others t h e task of census-taking. I t is par t of the divine purpose to compel mankind to use his faculties, by the discharge of duties. So God knows our needs, but prayer and work are necessary par ts of our education.

In the enumeration, the tribe of Judah stood first, 74,600. Reuben second, Ephraim third, and Dan the least, aggregating WKV 5.% "from twenty years old and upward ." Gad reported his figures and I s sacharh i s and comparisons were made. So in the church there are varying thousands, but how many c&n be put into the field as valiant soldiers to contend for Christ against the powers of darkness. \ The history of Numbers covers thir ty-eight years of practical life, following the completion of tho law-giving. It may be classified briefly: (1) The breaking up of encampment at Siuai, the arrangement of the procession, the assignment of duties. (2) The march upon Canaan and the repulse, ('!) Rebellions, re-establishment of Moses and Aaron in authority nad punishment for transgression. (4) The death of Miriam and Aaron

Wo study the order of worship, the arrangement of the army and the lice of march, but beneath all is a permanent quantity. Our lesson is to find out the philosophy of history, the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of life. We may commit to memory many details and know little of the underlying principle.

W h a t did Israel see in the cloud by day and the brightness by niirht? That God ministers according to the necessities of life, i t is sometimes «i summer day, overarched with blue. We seem to need no help In approaching near to tkxl. All the earth is tilled with his presence. Then there are periods when everything is dark, we fear to move, friends are far oftând the divine seems enveloped in darkmWs. We need a column of supernatural light and brightness.

The soul needs and finds both manifestations of (Sod. And so the underlying t ruth reveals itself that aei-ording to the needs of the soul will he the divine revelation.

I . I : S S O N NOTES.

V. ir>. Arul on the day the tabernacle was reared, the cloud covered tire tabernacle. That is ,on the first month of the second year of Israel 's pilgrimage, the Shekinah rested over the Holy of Holies, in which wa* the ark and the tables of testimony.

The present account dates some fifty days Inter, as Israel was about to go forward on tho journey. The movement began on theCoth day of the second month. The account of the cloud covering tho tabernacle is mentioned here, because it was to be their guiao, leading them, and abiding wi th them in journey or encampment. It 'was a wonderful spectacle: "millions of people moving along without knowledge of the route which they were to travel, wholly dependent upon God for guidance, as also for food, a helpless pilgrim host. They could form no plans for the to-morrow. When encamped they knew not when they Were to march, and when on the march they knew not when and where they were to s top; a life of daily and hourly dependence."

In the vast company, some were in advance, some far behind, but near or far the pillar of cloud isymbol of Cod) was visible to every follower. Only to those who turned back was there no leading Presence. Moving through space, without human form or wing of bird, the cloud was a tit-ting symbol of the self-poised, self-existing Being whom they worshipped. It had not material substance to be grasped; it was near and ,\ et so far; it was mysterious, yet, beautiful: reiiv^-hing as shade by day, and light by night. Israel sleeping or waking could "rest secure, for tho Omnipresent loader was in their midst.

V. IT. Wher. the cloud was taken up. We can easily picture t*> ourselves the rising of the cloud becoming more and more conspicuous to the distant hosts; a signal for onward march, and the settliucrdown again Where the tabernacle was to be set up and camp established. Hence this cloud became to them the word of (Jed, a command to tnove or patiently wait. Sometimes it rested long, sometimes only for a night or a day.

V. It1. Israel kept the charge of the Lord. That is, Israel patiently watched or heroic-nl'.y journeyed, subject to the Hivine leading.

Michigan Crop Beport, August 1,188$.

For this report returns have been received from 861 correspondents, representing 6M1 townships. Six hundred and one of these reports are from 407 townships in the southern iour tiers of counties, and 147 reports are from 127 townships in the central counties.

On the first of August, when the correspondents mailed their reports to this office, there had not been wheat enough threshed in this State to furnish a reliable basis for an estimate ot the average yield per acre. Oa account M damage by winter-killing the average will vary greatly in different fields, and in different local i ty , hence no estimate from threshings is of value that does not take into consideration a large number of jobs and a wide extent ot territory.

The estimates made by correspondents are based on an examination of the fields at time of harvest. These estimates, and tho frequent remarks of correspondence that theyield will be much better than anticipated, clearly indicate that the output will ha considerably in excess of the earlier estimates. Present reports point to a crop of more than eighteen million bushels. It is not improbable that the final returns Irom threshings will be even more satisfactory.

In the southern counties very little, and in the central counties practically no haiTesting was done before the 10th of July. Three-fourths ot the crop in both sections was harvested between the 10th and 20th. In quality the berry is a full average. In the southern counties 231 correspondents report the quality "good," 294 "average." and 45 "bad;" and in the central counties bl report the quality "good," G8 "average," and only 9 "bad. '

Reports have been received of the quantity of wheat marketed bv farmers during the month of July at 207 elevators and mills. Ot these 217 are in the souther four tiers of counties, which is 40 per cent, and 35 are in the fifth and sixth tiers of counties, which is 41 per cent of the whole number in these sections respectively. The total number of bushels reported marketed 13 311,211, of which 152.178 bushels were marketed in the first or southern tier of counties; 58.103 bushels in the second tier: 35.250 bushels in the third tier; 48,809 bushels in the fourthlier; 16,703 bushels in the fifth and sixth tiers; and 608 bushels0in the northern counties. At 73 elevators and mills, or 27 per cent of the whoh numuer from which reports have been received, there was no wheat marketed daring tho month,

The number of busliels of wheat reported marketed in the State- during the year ending Julv 31, 1888, is 13,811,993.

It is safe to estimate the amount purchased at elevators and mills from which reports have not been received each month at 550.000 busliels„making a total of 14,362.000 bushels n> the total amount marketed since August 1, 1887. These figures warrant the statement that on August 1,1888. there was not to exceed 700,000 bushels cf the 1887 wheat crop in farmers' lianas in excess of their ov ,. > -h'rements. IW the estimates ot correspondents the amount in farmers' hands is 676,405 bushels.

Oats are estimated to yield 36 bushels per acre in the southern counties 29 bushels in the central, and 21 bushels in the northern.

The condition of other crops: may be regarded as generally satisfactory. The average condition of corn in the southern counties is 94, and in the central and northern courties 90; the average condition of potatoes in the southern counties is 93, in the central 86, and in the northern 87. The average condition of meadows and pastures is, for the State, 75, andofc!ovm- sowed this year 82. These figures are all for August 1. Since Unit date the rainfall throughout the State has been above the normal, and, though not evenly distributed, lias greatly benefited the crops named. Com and potatoes at this date, (August 9.) promise very nearly a full average crop. The area planted to potatoes is, in each section, above an average. The excess in the southern counties amounts to six per cent.

In quanity hay is scarcely more than three-fourths ot an average crop, but it

The Story of Annie Laurie.

I was raised on the next farm to Mr. Laurie, Annie Laurie's father. I was personally aeuiiainted with both her and her father, and also the author of the .song. Knowing these facts, I have been requested by my friends to give the brnetit of my knowledge, which I have consented to do.

Annie Laurie was born in 1827, and was about 17 years old when the incident occurred which gives rise to the song bearing her name. James Laurie, Annie's father, was a farmer who lived on and owned alar^e farm called "Tharaglestown,11 in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. He hired a great deal of help, and among those employed was a man by the name of Wallace to act as foreman, and while in his employ Mr. Wallace fell in love with Annie Laurie, which fact her father soon learned and forthwith discharged him. He went to his home, which was in Maxwelton, and Was taken Kick the night he reached there, and the next morning when Annie Laurie heard of it she came to his bedside and waited on him till he died, and on his deathbed he composed the song. — Ucnesto

They say man is the only animal that can laugh, but he is far from being the only one that can cut capers and have a gooxl time -says, the liufLila. Express. There is a colony of swallows that find a roomy home inside a broken cornice on the Noye building at Washington street bridge, that was lately observed engaged in what must have been sport. One of them when first noticed had a piece of paper about a foot square in his mouth. He flew with it over tho bridge, and when in the air dropped it. He at once flew under it and caught it, but let it go again and flew aside, when several others'trie,d in turn to catch it. Some succeeded and some failed and they kept at it till the paper had fluttered down uncomfortably close to the ground. Then they all flew up together and roosted on a telegraph wire to talk it over, their notes being very hilarious and quite different from a swallow's ordinary twitter. An observer who goes to ball games sometimes wondered if they were not canvassing the skill each displayed during hia inning.
