Still sits the schoolhousc by the road, A ragged beggar sunning; Around it still the sumachs grow, And blackberry vines are running. "Within, the master’s desk is seen, Deep scarred by raps official ; Tlio warping floor, the battered seats, The jack-knife’s carved initial. The charcoal frescoes on its walls, Its door’s worn sill, betraying The feet that, creeping slow to school, Went storming out to playing ! Long years ago a winter sun Shone over it at setting: Lit up its western window- panes, And low eaves’ icy fretting. It touched the tangled, golden curls, And brown eyes full of grieving, Of one who stUilicr steps delayed When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy Ilcr childish favor singled; His cap pulled down upon a face Where pride and shame were mingled. Pushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, lie lingered— And restlessly her tiny hands The blue checked apron Angered. He saw her lift her eyes: lie felt The soft hand’s light caressing, And heard the trembling of her voice, As if a fault confessing. “ Urn sorry that I spelt the word; I hate to go above you. Because”—tlio brown eyes lower fell— “Because, yon see, I lovo you !” Still memory of a gray-haired man That sweet child face is showing. Dear girl!—tlie grasses on her grave Have forty yCiu-s been growing. Ho lives to learn in life’s hard school How few who pass above hint Lament their triumph and liis loss Like her—because they love him. CHARCOAL. BY OSCAR F. HEWITT. lie sat astfitle the swaying tongue of his creaking coal cart, anil often, in tones of silvery clearness, lie cried: “Charcoal—eoal-coal-coal!” A policeman, not roughly, tapped him on the shoulder with his rat an and ordered him to desist. “For,” said the ofiicer, “there is a woman dying up there where that half- moon window is; and, besides,” he queried, “what is the use of bellowing charcoal when you haven’t a. bit in your cart ?” “I know it, mister,” explained the blackamoor of the brands, "but it’s liabit. IVe charcoal men all holler, whether we. are loaded or empty, so’s not to git out of practice. Some on us sing out charcoal in our sleep. Last Sunday I slicked up—calico shirt and dickey, with blue dots till over ’em— and went to meetin’. The parson preached along, and I tuk down his p’ints, charcoal-fashion—four uprights and a cross—until of a sudden he said suthin’ about being plucked as a brand from the burning, and then, afore I knowed it, I riz right up in the Jim Crow pew (that’s tlie one agin the door) aud shouted; “ ‘Charcoal—coal-ec al-coal!’ “You could have heard me to town, but, I swan for it, I couldn’t help it, no more than a hen can help clucking. The sexton headed me for the open air, hut jest as I got out on the meetin’ house steps I fired her oil ag’in : “ ‘Charcoal—coal-coal-coal!’ “Clem Hunton, lie heard it, way down in his house by the brick yard, and he answered it with another, which Abe Spicer heard below the grist mill, and he tuk her up, and away she "went, one aider another, all the pitmen cry- ing charcoal, like roosters crowing. Good-day, mister! I’ll keep swallowing her down the best I can. Gee up, Duke! G o’long, Brindle! "Why don’t ye go ’long?” And onward lumbered the great, lethargic oxen, whisking their tails against their massive llanks, and slow- ly undulating their b’ ass-huttoned Wheat! Wheat!

The sign of “Lager Beer” arrested their driver’s attention, and a prolong- ed “Who-o-o-a!” from his lips brought them to a stand-still. ‘Larger beer,” he soliloquized, giving the “g” the soft sound—“larger beer. By the ’Leventh of Luke! I must have some. I’ve been to church fairs, pic- nics and other sort of doings, hut I uever had nothing but sap beer, switch- ell, sodjq sasferilla, aud sieli, that was nothing more than sweetened wind, and made a feller feel like a b’iler that was about ready for bustin’. By the ’Leventh of Luke! I must have some larger beer.” The untutored child of carbon drank with such immoderation as to involve his verdant faculties in a serious mud- dla He wandered to the depot, con- scious of a kindling warmth in his cer- ebrum, and also that his contempla- tion of all material objects carried with it a certain vague but positive feeling of proprietorship. ‘Shine ’em up, sir?” insinuated a bootblack—a rare little scamp, with red eyes and pert ways like a parrot. Reaching his man, he shoved the box toward him, seized one of his an- kles, and placed a bare foot on the pe- destal, and then in turn the charcoal peddler’s broad, sprawling, naked feet were coated with blacking, until they resembled a pair of cuttlefish. At this crisis of affairs, when the whole clan of elfish humanity began to circle around him, like gnats in the setting sun, a commiserating police of- ficer conducted him to the station, and there detained him until liis condition verged upon sobriety. As he stepped out once more into the sunlight, he opened wide his mouth, and broke the afternoon stillness with a stentorian shout of— “Charcoal—coal-coal-coal!” It was tlie triumphant outburst of a black-bird, suddenly and unexpectedly liberated from the snares of a cruel captivity. He set about to make a speedy departure for home. He dis- covered his oxen as he left them. They had not stirred an inch during his im- prisonment, nor would they had earth- quakes throbbed urder their steadfast feet or tornadoes swept over their bur- dened heads. Once again he was astride the swing- ing tongue and driving his obedient beasts eountryward, when he was start- led from a momentary doze by the up- roar and cry of a runawtiy, right ahead of him, and rushing down upon him furiously. He saw it all in one second. A span of stalwart iron-grays, harnessed to a coach, upon the hack seat of which was a little girl, alone and without assist- ance, for neither coachman nor foot- man was to be seen before or behind. The blackamoor of the brands leaped from the tongue, headed his cattle and cart for the sidewalk, and in a moment more was in the street, ready for a spring at the bridles of the bounding runaways. H e saw their dilated eyes and smok- ing nostrils; he heard their defiant snorts, and the echoes of their eight sharp-striking hoofs; and once he caught a glimpse of a little face, ghast- ly pale and piteous, and a pair of un- flung arms, like the last despairing ach of the drowning. He was ready, and those nerves and muscles, trained to rigorous hardships, were without a tremor. n e was ready, and, putting his read- iness into action, lie had the infuriated iron-grays with a grasp that never yet had known compulsory relaxation. Forgetting now the unwashed face —the incongruous, crow’s-nest cloth- ing. The unsightly grub has expand- ed into a beautiful creature—a crea- ture wiio.se beauty is that it is risking its own life to rescue the life of an- other. The wild horses lifted him from his feet, nml (lung him to and fro in their united wrath: hut he held them as if lie were part of them, and they could not get-rid of their raging selves. And in his ears often Tang tlie idea of the poor, terrified little thing on the cushions of the reeling coach: “Stop them! Oh, stop them, and my papti will make you rich!” Madly around the corner they dash- ed, tlie magnificent coach cai-eening until its lamps almost touched the curbing, dragging him mercilessly over the cobble-stones, through the mire, at times half impaling him upon the plunging carriage pole; but lie never gave up liis grand life-or-death grip of heroism. “What is it? who is it?” cried the horrified groups on the sidewalks. They saw the reeking horses, the sweet little face, pleading in its mortal peril; they heard tlie jingle of tlie gold- en harnesses, the rattle of Hying wheels, the clatter of fleeing hoofs, and com- prehended all—all but that vile, look- ing object there, blackened with mire, flecked with foam, beat from the whit- ening breast of one wild charger to tbe whitening breast of the other, and si ill dinging on, as if clutching at the horses’ throats with the tenacity of a vampire. The foaming iron-grays, rendered more furious by this foul presence at their heads, tried to trample him with their steel-shod, (ierce-flying hoofs, but they could not break the hold of a man who, in boyhood, had descended dizzy precipices, when his life every instant depended upon tlie quickness of liis eyes and the quietude of his nerves. And again and again he heard her ag- onized cry: “Save me, save me, for mv niainma’s sake!” For a long distance, through many streets, tore these tcrrilic runaways, before the brave, vile thing at their heads brought them to a halt, and even then they persisted in pawing the ground, as if the round globe did not roll fast enough, and they would give it a fresh impulse; and when the,char- coal blackamoor dropped agilely upon the sidewalk, the quickly collected crowd saw that the vampire was a sorry shredded, streak-faced, loose- jointed shape of our common humani- ty. So, too, when the little miss, beam- ing with joy and gratitude, came and put her model of a hand in liis mighty palm—a pearl in an overgrown oyster shell—and said: “Come home with me to my papa and mamma,” he only an- swered: “ Can’t do it, miss, no how you can fix it. Must git home and do up my chores afore candlelight. If your dad wants to do anything for me, then let me fill up his coal bins. I’ll put him in fifty, a hundred—yes, by Judas! a hundred bushels of handsome hickory and maple coal—not a smirk of chest- nut in it—fora shilling a bushel, and chalk ’em on the cellar door as we dump ’em in. My post office,” he. ad- ded, turning to the astonished throng, “is Tabor Swan, "White Perch Pond, near Deacon Gallop’s grist mill, and I’ll put coal in for any on ye at the same liggers.” Before dawn on tlie morrow, as he was yoking his red helpmates for an- other coal trip to town, he caught, through one of the upraised ox-hows, a glimpse of some of the starry company overhead, and this accident set liis tortoise intelligence to creeping and wondering—wondering why tlie heav- enly lights burned on the borders of a new day with a tenderer and sadder beauty. "Was it because at this ex- haustive time mortals were wont to die, when the sad tides were setting seaward? And this thought led him to wonder- ing what the stars were, and how they came there, and hence wondering what he was and how he came here; hut with it all lie never recalled his thrill- ing exploit of yesterday afternoon, or dreamed that the whole city was sound- ing his praises, or that papa and mam- ma were making splendid preparations to reward him, so primitive was his mind and so simple had always seem- ed to him a hardy and brilliantly haz- ardous achievement. There came a time, however, when his adventure was brought irresistably to his mind and memory. It was the last serene hours of a July afternoon— a sweet time, in the country, when all things come forth and assert them- selves with cameo distinctness—when the old-fashioned well-sweeps stand so prominently against the cloudless az- ure, suggestive of lone brook fisher- men of unusual stature—when through the breezy lanes, and over the sunny cart roads, come toiling on the heavily laden hay carts-, like mammoth land turtles. Tabor Swan was at the coal pits, when, looking up casually, he saw, halted in front of his farm-house door, a handsome coach, in which wore seat- ed a gentleman aud lady aud a little And upon this the lamb, contentedly folding its limbs, laid its head in the lap of the little shepherdess, and fell to watching the play of the fireflies over its head, aud wondering.if they ■were not the runaway children of the stars, and how wicked it was for them to forsake such beautiful parents in heaven. The Inventor of the Telephone. Elisha Gray, lately elected Professor of Dynamical Electricity in Oberlin College, and upon whom the French Republic lias just conferred the title of “Doctor of Science and Chevalier of the Legion of Honor,” is the real in- ventor of the telephone. He was born o f Quaker parents in Belmont county, Ohio, in 1S:>4; in 1852 his parents re- moved to Washington county, Pennsyl- vania, where lie served an apprentice- ship to learn the trade of carpenter; worked for a time in Fayette county; entered Oberlin college in 1857; and in 1857 married Miss Sheperd of Oberlin. For a time he worked again at liis trade, hut devoted much time to experiments in electricity, wldcli interferred with liis regular business. He filed in Feb- ruary, 1870, in the Patent Office, a Ca- veat, setting forth Ins purpose as fol- lows: “Be it known that I, Elisha Gray, Chicago, in tlie County of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new art of transmitting vocal sounds telegraphically, of which the following is a specification. It is the object of my invention to transmit tlie tones of tlie human voice through a telegraphic circuit and reproduce them at tlie re- ceiving end of the line, so that actual conversation can he. carried on at long (list ances apart.” Xearly a year later Bell, of Boston, made application for a patent covering practially the same patterns, and specifications as contain- ed in Mr. Gray’s caveat, on file at the same time. Strange to say the patent was issued, the examiner subsequently explaining the transaction by stat- ing Unit Gray’s caveat had been over- looked. Suit was brought in tlie Hinted States Circuit Court in Chicago for an infringement, and the decision fully sustained the claims of Gray, and right to share in tlie fruits of the telephone. ITis annual income from this sourse is now very huge.—Presby- terian Banner. Maxims for Everybody. Pay as you go. Don’t stop and tell stories in busi- ness hours. If you have a place of business, he found there when wanted. Xo man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. Never fool in business matters". Have order, system, regularity and Iso promptness. Do not meddle with business you know nothing of. More miles can be made in a day by going steadily than by stopping. A man of honor respects liis word as lie does liis bond. Learn to say Xo. X o necessity for snapping it out dog fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. ITso your own brains rather than those of others. Learn to think and act for yourself. Keep ahead rather than behind tlie limes. A tart temper seldom mellows with age. A jewel is a jewel still, though lying in the dust. Allow people to think as well of each other as they can. An unruly tongue is harder to con- trol than a vicious horse. A character that will not defend it- self is rarely worth defending. A friend should bear with a friend’s infirmities, but not his vices. As the next to having wisdom our- selves is to profit by that of others, so the next tiling to having merit our- selves is to take care that the meritori- ous profit; by us; for he that rewards the deserving makes himself one of the number. Wood Aslies. Wood ashes are one of the most val- uable fertilizers that a fanner can ap- ply to his soil. Ash from the wood of the beech is said by chemists to con- tain 96 lbs. of potash, 33 lbs. of lime, 6 lbs. of magnesia, 3 lbs. of phosphoric acid, besides sulphuric acid, to the bushel of 00 lbs. From this it will he seen how great their mammal value is. For root crops of all kinds, grasses, clover, etc., they will he found just what is needed to stimulate and feed the crop. The ash is the mineral ele- ment of any vegetable structure, and therefore indispensable to its growth. The farmer who will sell his ashes is actually parting with so much of - the fertility of his farm. As an applica- tion to reclaimed marsh land the ef- fect of ashes is often wonderful. The burnt lands in the Huron peninsula will have their productiveness greatly increased by the burning of the forests that covered them, and farmers there will receive great benefit in the future from the clearing of tlie lauds and the depositing of the ashes from the burn- ed forest upon them. girl. Obedient to- his notions of politeness, he dropped his pit rake and expedi- tiously put himself in the presence of his guests. Even his obtuse fancy did not fail to observe the marvelous fore- shortening and magnifying of the car- riage and horses in t.lieir reflection on tlie rolling grass plat, transforming them into the veritable chariot-car and griffins of remotest antiquity. “We have come, Mr. Swan,” said the gentleman, “ to put all our heads to- gether and see if we cannot in some way make our acknowledgements for your gallant rescue of our little dar ling, here.” The blackamoor of tlie brands hung his head, bewildered, abashed, dismay ed; then, rallying from his stupor, he rushed into the house, and presently reappeared with a little girl—a toy of a thing—a morsel of young mortality with miniature hands and feet, hut principally eyes—morning-glory eyes— that looked as if they had blossomed for the first time that very morning. “ ’Squire and ’Squire’s lady,” began Tabor Swan, bowing with dipper-duck frequency and awkwardness, “you can do nothing for me, hut if you’re a mind to take this ere spring lamb and edi- eate her, as I liain’t been edicated, you will do me all the favors in the world. I can’t read nor write, and many is the nights I’ve laid* awake and wor- rited, ’cause this ere little bleating thing had to grow up in the same way, and face the great bleak world, with- out leadin’, writiri’, or spellin’, got to sup sorrow anddisapp’intment, withno ’rithmetic, no grammar, no g’ografy.” -* * * * * That night, as the great, beautiful, luxuriously-iresilient coach was roll - ing homeward under the stately road- side oaks and elms, through an illu- mination of fireflies, the spring Iamb bleated, and said: “Why do you take me from my pa?” ' “Because,” said miss, “you are going home with us, to have a piano, a poo- dle, and lots of pets, and yon are going to be-as great a lady. as I am.- There, now!” Melancholia Over a Mule. John Steffen, a Kansas youth who has been in the employ of B. II. Eaton, on tlie high line irrigating ditch, some ten miles south of Denver, was brought in yesterday in a (it of temporary in- sanity. It appears tliat in his occupa- tion as teamster he had developed a sort of fondness for the span of mules lie was driving, and about a month ago he quit work because be was given an- other team. He resumed a short time since on getting his old team. On Fri- day last one of the mules was put in another team, and thereupon Steffen was taken with a fit of melancholy which increased in extent till it re- sulted in total delirium. He was taken to tlie city jail at first, hut after exam- ination by Doctors Brice and Bean he was removed to the county hospital, where at last accounts lie was becom- ing more quiet. Young fellows occa- sionally get badly mashed on high- kickers, but rather rarely on those of the quadrupedal build.—Denver Trib- une. Tlie Chilblain Question. The reward offered by the Hay Fe- ver Association for antidotes for chil- blains brought the following recipes: “Soak the feet for three successive nights in soft soap, and then leave them out on the roof of the woodshed in the sun for a week.” “Knock the’horns off your neighbor’s cow, bake to a powder and rub the feet twice a week.” ‘ “Rub your feet with buttermilk, and then give the buttermilk to the poor.” “Hang your feet on a east-iron hook driven into a cherry tree, and smoke them for four days with cedar chips.” Cause and Effect. The main cause of nervousness is in- digestion, and that is caused by weak- ness o f the stomach. X o one can have sound nerves and good health without using Hop Bitters to strength- en the stomach, purify the blood and keep the liver and kidneys' active, to carry off all the poisonous and waste matter of tlie system.

There is nothing like being graphic. A man who attempted to give an idea of eternity, said: “(Vhy, my friends, after millions and trillions of years had rolled away it would be a hundred thousand years to breakfast time.” President pro teni.

A Salisbury, X . H., man claimed that his house was a house of worship be- cause he read the Bible, prayed and sang hymns in it, and it was therefore exempt from taxation.

He was much rejoiced, but was a prey to conflicting emotions when he learned from her that her mother is still living, he having been legally married to another woman after be- coming a freedman. “Minne” wants to know “who sets the fashions?” Well, we don’t want to boast, dear, or appear unduly con- ceited, or that sort of thing, hut the fashion of wearing a spring overcoat, flavored at the elbows with benzine, clear through the Christmas holidays and along into next February—we set that one “ourself.” We don’t know who sets the others, as that is the on- ly one we are deeply interested in just now.—Burlington Kawhayc. Pasteboard Flower Pots. General Grant’s Arabian Horses. A certain little story about General Grant’s Arabian steeds is told by Mrs. Hooper. When the horses were deliv- ered to the American official who was deputed to represent General Grant he found that Through some hocus-pocus of the employes of the Sultan’s stables one of the horses selected had been ex- changed for a dismal beast, unmanage- able and generally unsound. Our countrymen did not wantto forward so wretched an animal to the United States, yet what was to he done? To refuse the Sultan’s present would have been a deadly insult, and, besides, he had no right to do anything of the kind; while to And fault with it would have been a deadlier. Finally a bright idea stuck him. The unsound horse hap- pened to he black; so he went for the high and mighty Turkish officicial who had the matter In charge and regret- fully informed him that, though Gener- al Grant was enchanted with the two noble steeds tliat were accorded him by the magnificence of tlie Sultan, he would, unfortunately, he nnable to use the black one, as horses of that color were only employed for funerals in America, and to offer or accept one as a gift wash eld to be an exceedingly had in that country. The counteous Turk was profuse in civilities and apologies, the black horse was taken away and a sound and handsome animal of an- other color and sent it in its stead.—X . Y. Tribune. Tlie Force of Example. Early last evening one of our prom- inent town officials stopped for a mo- ment In front of the post-office to speak with an acquaintance. He was eating peanuts at the time, the aroma of which was so tempting to the ac- quaintance that he immediately pur- chased a pint, warm and fresh from the roaster by the fountain. As he did so he noticed two men watching him, and as he stepped to one side each of them walked up and purchased a pint of peanuts. It occurred to him that these two had made the purchase be- cause they saw him do so. He slowly walked away, eating the fruit, and be- fore lie had gone a great distance he saw two others step up and buy pea- nuts who evidently had their attention called to the matter by noticing what he was doing. Than he began to mor- alize upon the power of example. He reasoned thus: “I bought a pint of peanuts because I saw M r . ------ eating them; already four have bought pea- nuts because they saw me do so, or saw me eating them; I have influenced four to buy peanuts; if Mr. ------ influ- enced three besides me, and each influ- enced four others, and each in turn In- fluenced four others, and this goes on in this ratio, before the Influence of Mr. ------ dies out he will have influenc- ed more people to eat peanuts than ihe population of the whole world. Yeri- ly, great is the force of example.” An Uncommon Bankruptcy Case. A little boy applied to Gen. Clinton H. Fisk for capital to go into business, Amouut wanted— 75 cents. Busi- ness — boot-blacking. Station — near Fulton Ferry, Xew York. Profits to be divided at tbe end of six months. The arrangement was made and the firm began business. One morning, how- ever, the working party came into tl e General’s office wearing a very lugu- brious countenance. “What’s tlie matter?” asked the Gen- eral? “Oli,” said the boy, “ it’s all up.” “All up!” said the General, “what do you mean ?” “Oli,” replied the urchin, “tlie firm is busted.” “How is that?” was the inquiry. “Well,” said the hoy, “I had §4.92 on hand; hut yesterday a man came into our Sunday school and said we must give all our money to the missionary society, and I put it in—coulchithelp it—and its all up with us,” We have no doubt that the firm im- mediately resumed business again— but it is the first partnership we ever heard of that has bursled in that way! Hence the sympathy.—National S. S. Teacher. Yankee Economy. Since the slaughter of cattle in this country for shipping to Europe has be- come a business, an industry has been established in Middletown, Conn., for the purpose of working up the large hones which are cut off with the feet. The hones are sawed up by machines particularly adopted to the purpose, the solid portions are made into but- tons and knife-handles, the knuckle- joints ground np, and with the dust from the saws, sold for a fertilizer, and the small pieces of the hard hone granulated and used by gun and tool manufacturers in case-hardening. The bones are used while fresh, as they soon begin to color, and articles made of the stained hone would not he mar- ketable. The buttons, when made from the fresh hone, are whiter than ivory, and are sold tinder the name of “Sitka ivory.” This single establishment re- ceived from Xew York during 1880 no less than 1,200,000 ox shins, and tl e demand has increased to such an ex- tent that the price rose within a ve&r from §21 to §32 per ton; and even at" that latter price gives a handsome margin for the manufacturer. To Keep Herb?. When herbs are hung up to dry in loose bundles they soon loose thdr odor. They should be spread out, shad- ed from the sun, and when dried pressed together tightly and put into paper bags. It Is a good plan to strip off the leaves, rub them fine, and put them into wide-mouthed bottles, label- ed. Equal proportions of sweet mar- joram, tarragon, and sage, dried and rubbed together, and kept in a widc- moutlied hottl e, make a good seasoning. A few sweet herbs should have a place in every garden. Every cook and house-keeper knows the value of a little patch of herbs, upon which she makes daily drafts in summer, and which furnishes her with a nice col- lection of winter seasoning, without which Thanksgiving turkey would lose all flavor, while strong kinds are excellent for medicine. Our Pacific Seal Skin Interest An abstract of the preliminary re- port of a special agent of the United States Census Bureau, shows that the total seal skins and sea-otter skins tak- en on our Pacific coast during 18S0 was about 160,000. Of sea-otter having an average value of §50 per skin, there were 3500 captured in Alaska and 75 in California. Of the fur seal there was a total of 155,000 taken, of which 147,- 000 were taken in Alaska, valued at §10 each ; 6,000 in Washington Terri- tory and 2,000 in California, valued at only §5 per skin. The total value in first hands is about §1,750,000. The total capital invested in the business, excepting Indian canoe? and material, which no attempt was made to value, is about §750,000. A t the regular meeting of the Poly- technic Association of the American Institute, Xew York, held Tuesday evening, Oct. 6, Prof. Dunn showed and explained a newly invented flower-pot of pasteboard, peculiarly fastened. The material employed would allow the roots of plants to traverse out through it freely, so that the plants could he started in the house and then planted in the garden without remov- ing the pot. The Fool in Rubber. “Those rubber garments are such a hlessingi” remarked a fat man, as he brought into a street car a perfect deluge of water. The lady at his right, who mopped one side of his coat with her costly dress, agreed with him per- fectly, the man at his left, who caught about a pint of the drippings in his shoe, could scarcely conceal his admir- ation, while the young miss to whom the fat man gallantly offered his seat a few minutes later, went into perfect ecstasies as she sat down into arpool of water left on the seat. “My wife, Maria, has astrayed or been stolen. "Whoever returns her w ill let his head broken. As to trusting -her, anybody can do so if they see fit ; as I never pay my own debts, it’s not likely I ’ll pay berm.” Such is the stir- ring pronunciamento of an Indian philosopher.?-' \

lie sat astfitle the swaying tongue of his creaking coal cart, anil often, in tones of silvery clearness, lie cried:

“Charcoal—eoal-coal-coal!”A policeman, not roughly, tapped

him on the shoulder with his rat an and ordered him to desist.

“For,” said the ofiicer, “ there is a woman dying up there where that half- moon window is; and, besides,” he queried, “ what is the use of bellowing charcoal when you haven’t a. bit in your cart ?”

“ I know it, mister,” explained the blackamoor of the brands, "but it’s liabit. IVe charcoal men all holler, whether we. are loaded or empty, so’s not to git out of practice. Some on us sing out charcoal in our sleep. Last Sunday I slicked up—calico shirt and dickey, with blue dots till over ’em— and went to meetin’. The parson preached along, and I tuk down his p’ints, charcoal-fashion—four uprights and a cross—until of a sudden he said suthin’ about being plucked as a brand from the burning, and then, afore I knowed it, I riz right up in the Jim Crow pew (that’s tlie one agin the door) aud shouted;

“ ‘Charcoal—coal-ec al-coal!’“You could have heard me to town,

but, I swan for it, I couldn’t help it, no more than a hen can help clucking. The sexton headed me for the open air, hut jest as I got out on the meetin’ house steps I fired her oil ag’in :

“ ‘Charcoal—coal-coal-coal!’“ Clem Hunton, lie heard it, way

down in his house by the brick yard, and he answered it with another, which Abe Spicer heard below the grist mill, and he tuk her up, and away she "went, one aider another, all the pitmen cry­ing charcoal, like roosters crowing. Good-day, mister! I ’ll keep swallowing her down the best I can. Gee up, Duke! G o ’long, Brindle! "Why don’t ye go ’long?”

undulating horns.

The sign of “Lager Beer” arrested their driver’s attention, and a prolong­ed “Who-o-o-a!” from his lips brought them to a stand-still.

‘Larger beer,” he soliloquized, giving the “g” the soft sound—“larger beer. By the ’Leventh of Luke! I must have some. I’ve been to church fairs, pic­nics and other sort of doings, hut I uever had nothing but sap beer, switch- ell, sodjq sasferilla, aud sieli, that was nothing more than sweetened wind, and made a feller feel like a b’iler that was about ready for bustin’. By the ’Leventh of Luke! I must have some larger beer.”

The untutored child of carbon drank with such immoderation as to involve his verdant faculties in a serious mud- dla He wandered to the depot, con­scious of a kindling warmth in his cer­ebrum, and also that his contempla­tion of all material objects carried with it a certain vague but positive feeling of proprietorship.

‘Shine ’em up, sir?” insinuated a bootblack—a rare little scamp, with red eyes and pert ways like a parrot.

Reaching his man, he shoved the box toward him, seized one of his an­kles, and placed a bare foot on the pe­destal, and then in turn the charcoal peddler’s broad, sprawling, naked feet were coated with blacking, until they resembled a pair of cuttlefish.

A t this crisis of affairs, when the whole clan of elfish humanity began to circle around him, like gnats in the setting sun, a commiserating police of­ficer conducted him to the station, and there detained him until liis condition verged upon sobriety.

As he stepped out once more into the sunlight, he opened wide his mouth, and broke the afternoon stillness with a stentorian shout of—

“Charcoal—coal-coal-coal!”It was tlie triumphant outburst of a

black-bird, suddenly and unexpectedly liberated from the snares of a cruel captivity. He set about to make a speedy departure for home. He dis­covered his oxen as he left them. They had not stirred an inch during his im­prisonment, nor would they had earth­quakes throbbed urder their steadfast feet or tornadoes swept over their bur­dened heads.

Once again he was astride the swing­ing tongue and driving his obedient beasts eountryward, when he was start­led from a momentary doze by the up­roar and cry of a runawtiy, right ahead of him, and rushing down upon him furiously.

He saw it all in one second. A span o f stalwart iron-grays, harnessed to a coach, upon the hack seat of which was a little girl, alone and without assist­ance, for neither coachman nor foot­man was to be seen before or behind.

The blackamoor o f the brands leaped from the tongue, headed his cattle and cart for the sidewalk, and in a moment more was in the street, ready for a spring at the bridles o f the bounding runaways.

H e saw their dilated eyes and smok­ing nostrils; he heard their defiant snorts, and the echoes of their eight sharp-striking hoofs; and once he caught a glimpse o f a little face, ghast­ly pale and piteous, and a pair o f un­flung arms, like the last despairing ach o f the drowning.

He was ready, and those nerves and muscles, trained to rigorous hardships, were without a tremor.

n e was ready, and, putting his read­iness into action, lie had the infuriated iron-grays with a grasp that never yet had known compulsory relaxation.

Forgetting now the unwashed face —the incongruous, crow’s-nest cloth­ing. The unsightly grub has expand­ed into a beautiful creature—a crea­ture wiio.se beauty is that it is risking its own life to rescue the life of an­other.

The wild horses lifted him from his feet, nml (lung him to and fro in their united wrath: hut he held them as if lie were part of them, and they could not get-rid of their raging selves.

And in his ears often Tang tlie idea of the poor, terrified little thing on the cushions of the reeling coach:

“Stop them! Oh, stop them, and my papti will make you rich!”

Madly around the corner they dash­ed, tlie magnificent coach cai-eening until its lamps almost touched the curbing, dragging him mercilessly over the cobble-stones, through the mire, at times half impaling him upon the plunging carriage pole; but lie never gave up liis grand life-or-death grip of heroism.

“ What is it? who is it? ” cried the horrified groups on the sidewalks.

They saw the reeking horses, the sweet little face, pleading in its mortal peril; they heard tlie jingle of tlie gold­en harnesses, the rattle of Hying wheels, the clatter of fleeing hoofs, and com­prehended all—all but that vile, look­ing object there, blackened with mire, flecked with foam, beat from the whit­ening breast of one wild charger to tbe whitening breast of the other, and si ill dinging on, as if clutching at the horses’ throats with the tenacity of a vampire.

The foaming iron-grays, rendered more furious by this foul presence at their heads, tried to trample him with their steel-shod, (ierce-flying hoofs, but they could not break the hold of a man who, in boyhood, had descended dizzy precipices, when his life every instant depended upon tlie quickness of liis eyes and the quietude of his nerves. And again and again he heard her ag­onized cry:

“Save me, save me, for mv niainma’s sake!”

For a long distance, through many streets, tore these tcrrilic runaways, before the brave, vile thing at their heads brought them to a halt, and even then they persisted in pawing the ground, as if the round globe did not roll fast enough, and they would give it a fresh impulse; and when the,char­coal blackamoor dropped agilely upon the sidewalk, the quickly collected crowd saw that the vampire was a sorry shredded, streak-faced, loose- jointed shape of our common humani­ty.

So, too, when the little miss, beam­ing with joy and gratitude, came and put her model of a hand in liis mighty palm—a pearl in an overgrown oyster shell—and said: “ Come home with me to my papa and mamma,” he only an­swered:

“ Can’t do it, miss, no how you can fix it. Must git home and do up my chores afore candlelight. I f your dad wants to do anything for me, then let me fill up his coal bins. I ’ll put him in fifty, a hundred—yes, by Judas! a hundred bushels of handsome hickory and maple coal—not a smirk of chest­nut in it—fora shilling a bushel, and chalk ’em on the cellar door as we dump ’em in. My post office,” he. ad­ded, turning to the astonished throng, “ is Tabor Swan, "White Perch Pond, near Deacon Gallop’s grist mill, and I’ll put coal in for any on ye at the same liggers.”

Before dawn on tlie morrow, as he was yoking his red helpmates for an­other coal trip to town, he caught, through one of the upraised ox-hows, a glimpse of some of the starry company overhead, and this accident set liis tortoise intelligence to creeping and wondering—wondering why tlie heav­enly lights burned on the borders of a new day with a tenderer and sadder beauty. "Was it because at this ex­haustive time mortals were wont to die, when the sad tides were setting seaward?

And this thought led him to wonder­ing what the stars were, and how they came there, and hence wondering what he was and how he came here; hut with it all lie never recalled his thrill­ing exploit of yesterday afternoon, or dreamed that the whole city was sound­ing his praises, or that papa and mam­ma were making splendid preparations to reward him, so primitive was his mind and so simple had always seem­ed to him a hardy and brilliantly haz­ardous achievement.

There came a time, however, when his adventure was brought irresistably to his mind and memory. It was the last serene hours of a July afternoon— a sweet time, in the country, when all things come forth and assert them­selves with cameo distinctness—when the old-fashioned well-sweeps stand so prominently against the cloudless az­ure, suggestive o f lone brook fisher­men of unusual stature—when through the breezy lanes, and over the sunny cart roads, come toiling on the heavily laden hay carts-, like mammoth land turtles.

Tabor Swan was at the coal pits, when, looking up casually, he saw, halted in front of his farm-house door, a handsome coach, in which wore seat­ed a gentleman aud lady aud a little

And upon this the lamb, contentedly folding its limbs, laid its head in the lap of the little shepherdess, and fell to watching the play of the fireflies over its head, aud wondering.if they ■were not the runaway children of the stars, and how wicked it was for them to forsake such beautiful parents in heaven.

The Inventor o f the Telephone.Elisha Gray, lately elected Professor

of Dynamical Electricity in Oberlin College, and upon whom the French Republic lias just conferred the title of “Doctor of Science and Chevalier of the Legion of Honor,” is the real in­ventor of the telephone. He was born o f Quaker parents in Belmont county, Ohio, in 1S:>4; in 1852 his parents re­moved to Washington county, Pennsyl­vania, where lie served an apprentice­ship to learn the trade of carpenter; worked for a time in Fayette county; entered Oberlin college in 1857; and in 1857 married Miss Sheperd of Oberlin. For a time he worked again at liis trade, hut devoted much time to experiments in electricity, wldcli interferred with liis regular business. He filed in Feb­ruary, 1870, in the Patent Office, a Ca­veat, setting forth Ins purpose as fol­lows: “Be it known that I, Elisha Gray, Chicago, in tlie County of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new art of transmitting vocal sounds telegraphically, of which the following is a specification. It is the object of my invention to transmit tlie tones of tlie human voice through a telegraphic circuit and reproduce them at tlie re­ceiving end of the line, so that actual conversation can he. carried on at long (list ances apart.” Xearly a year later Bell, of Boston, made application for a patent covering practially the same patterns, and specifications as contain­ed in Mr. Gray’s caveat, on file at the same time. Strange to say the patent was issued, the examiner subsequently explaining the transaction by stat­ing Unit Gray’s caveat had been over­looked. Suit was brought in tlie Hinted States Circuit Court in Chicago for an infringement, and the decision fully sustained the claims of Gray, and right to share in tlie fruits of the telephone. IT is annual income from this sourse is now very huge.—Presby­terian Banner.

W ood A slies.Wood ashes are one of the most val­

uable fertilizers that a fanner can ap­ply to his soil. Ash from the wood of the beech is said by chemists to con­tain 96 lbs. of potash, 33 lbs. o f lime, 6 lbs. o f magnesia, 3 lbs. of phosphoric acid, besides sulphuric acid, to the bushel of 00 lbs. From this it will he seen how great their mammal value is. For root crops of all kinds, grasses, clover, etc., they will he found just what is needed to stimulate and feed the crop. The ash is the mineral ele­ment of any vegetable structure, and therefore indispensable to its growth. The farmer who will sell his ashes is actually parting with so much of - the fertility of his farm. A s an applica­tion to reclaimed marsh land the ef­fect of ashes is often wonderful. The burnt lands in the Huron peninsula will have their productiveness greatly increased by the burning of the forests that covered them, and farmers there will receive great benefit in the future from the clearing of tlie lauds and the depositing of the ashes from the burn­ed forest upon them.

girl.Obedient to- his notions of politeness,

he dropped his pit rake and expedi­tiously put himself in the presence of his guests. Even his obtuse fancy did not fail to observe the marvelous fore­shortening and magnifying of the car­riage and horses in t.lieir reflection on tlie rolling grass plat, transforming them into the veritable chariot-car and griffins of remotest antiquity.

“We have come, Mr. Swan,” said the gentleman, “ to put all our heads to­gether and see i f we cannot in some way make our acknowledgements for your gallant rescue of our little dar ling, here.”

The blackamoor of tlie brands hung his head, bewildered, abashed, dismay ed; then, rallying from his stupor, he rushed into the house, and presently reappeared with a little girl—a toy of a thing—a morsel of young mortality with miniature hands and feet, hut principally eyes—morning-glory eyes— that looked as if they had blossomed for the first time that very morning.

“ ’Squire and ’Squire’s lady,” began Tabor Swan, bowing with dipper-duck frequency and awkwardness, “you can do nothing for me, hut i f you’re a mind to take this ere spring lamb and edi- eate her, as I liain’t been edicated, you will do me all the favors in the world. I can’t read nor write, and many is the nights I ’ve laid* awake and wor­rited, ’cause this ere little bleating thing had to grow up in the same way, and face the great bleak world, with­out leadin’, writiri’, or spellin’, got to sup sorrow anddisapp’intment, withno ’rithmetic, no grammar, no g’ografy.”

-* * * * *That night, as the great, beautiful,

luxuriously-iresilient coach was roll­ing homeward under the stately road­side oaks and elms, through an illu­mination of fireflies, the spring Iamb bleated, and said:

“Why do you take me from my pa?”' “Because,” said miss, “you are going

home with us, to have a piano, a poo­dle, and lots of pets, and yon are going to be-as great a lady. as I am.- There, now!”

Melancholia Over a Mule.John Steffen, a Kansas youth who

has been in the employ of B. II. Eaton, on tlie high line irrigating ditch, some ten miles south of Denver, was brought in yesterday in a (it o f temporary in­sanity. It appears tliat in his occupa­tion as teamster he had developed a sort of fondness for the span of mules lie was driving, and about a month ago he quit work because be was given an­other team. He resumed a short time since on getting his old team. On Fri­day last one of the mules was put in another team, and thereupon Steffen was taken with a fit of melancholy which increased in extent till it re­sulted in total delirium. He was taken to tlie city jail at first, hut after exam­ination by Doctors Brice and Bean he was removed to the county hospital, where at last accounts lie was becom­ing more quiet.

General Grant’s A rabian H orses.A certain little story about General

Grant’s Arabian steeds is told by Mrs. Hooper. W hen the horses were deliv­ered to the American official who was deputed to represent General Grant he found that Through some hocus-pocus of the employes of the Sultan’s stables one of the horses selected had been ex­changed for a dismal beast, unmanage­able and generally unsound. Our countrymen did not wantto forward so wretched an animal to the United States, yet what was to he done? To refuse the Sultan’s present would have been a deadly insult, and, besides, he had no right to do anything of the kind; while to And fault with it would have been a deadlier. Finally a bright idea stuck him. The unsound horse hap­pened to he black; so he went for the high and mighty Turkish officicial who had the matter In charge and regret­fully informed him that, though Gener­al Grant was enchanted with the two noble steeds tliat were accorded him by the magnificence of tlie Sultan, he would, unfortunately, he nnable to use the black one, as horses of that color were only employed for funerals in America, and to offer or accept one as a gift wash eld to be an exceedingly had in that country. The counteous Turk was profuse in civilities and apologies, the black horse was taken away and a sound and handsome animal o f an­other color and sent it in its stead.—X . Y. Tribune.

Tlie Force o f E xam ple.Early last evening one of our prom­

inent town officials stopped for a mo­ment In front of the post-office to speak with an acquaintance. He was eating peanuts at the time, the aroma of which was so tempting to the ac­quaintance that he immediately pur­chased a pint, warm and fresh from the roaster by the fountain. As he did so he noticed two men watching him, and as he stepped to one side each of them walked up and purchased a pint of peanuts. It occurred to him that these two had made the purchase be­cause they saw him do so. He slowly walked away, eating the fruit, and be­fore lie had gone a great distance he saw two others step up and buy pea­nuts who evidently had their attention called to the matter by noticing what he was doing. Than he began to mor­alize upon the power of example. He reasoned thus: “I bought a pint ofpeanuts because I saw M r .------ eatingthem; already four have bought pea­nuts because they saw me do so, or saw me eating them; I have influenced four to buy peanuts; i f M r.------ influ­enced three besides me, and each influ­enced four others, and each in turn In­fluenced four others, and this goes on in this ratio, before the Influence of M r.------dies out he will have influenc­ed more people to eat peanuts than ihe population of the whole world. Yeri- ly, great is the force of example.”

A n Uncommon B ankruptcy Case.A little boy applied to Gen. Clinton

H. Fisk for capital to go into business, Amouut wanted— 75 cents. Busi­ness — boot-blacking. Station — near Fulton Ferry, Xew York. Profits to be divided at tbe end o f six months. The arrangement was made and the firm began business. One morning, how­ever, the working party came into tl e General’s office wearing a very lugu­brious countenance.

“What’s tlie matter?” asked the Gen­eral?

“Oli,” said the boy, “ it’s all up.”“A ll up!” said the General, “ what do

you mean ?”“ Oli,” replied the urchin, “ tlie firm is

busted.”“How is that?” was the inquiry. “Well,” said the hoy, “ I had §4.92 on

hand; hut yesterday a man came into our Sunday school and said we must give all our money to the missionary society, and I put it in—coulchithelp it—and its all up with us,”

We have no doubt that the firm im­mediately resumed business again— but it is the first partnership we ever heard of that has bursled in that way! Hence the sympathy.—National S. S. Teacher.

Y an k ee Econom y.Since the slaughter of cattle in this

country for shipping to Europe has be­come a business, an industry has been established in Middletown, Conn., for the purpose of working up the large hones which are cut off with the feet. The hones are sawed up by machines particularly adopted to the purpose, the solid portions are made into but­tons and knife-handles, the knuckle- joints ground np, and with the dust from the saws, sold for a fertilizer, and the small pieces o f the hard hone granulated and used by gun and tool manufacturers in case-hardening. The bones are used while fresh, as they soon begin to color, and articles made of the stained hone would not he mar­ketable.

The buttons, when made from the fresh hone, are whiter than ivory, and are sold tinder the name o f “Sitka ivory.” This single establishment re­ceived from Xew York during 1880 no less than 1,200,000 ox shins, and tl e demand has increased to such an ex­tent that the price rose within a ve&r from §21 to §32 per ton; and even at" that latter price gives a handsome margin for the manufacturer.

To K eep H erb?.When herbs are hung up to dry in

loose bundles they soon loose thdr odor. They should be spread out, shad­ed from the sun, and when dried pressed together tightly and put into paper bags. It Is a good plan to strip off the leaves, rub them fine, and put them into wide-mouthed bottles, label­ed. Equal proportions of sweet mar­joram, tarragon, and sage, dried and rubbed together, and kept in a widc- moutlied hottl e, make a good seasoning. A few sweet herbs should have a place in every garden. Every cook and house-keeper knows the value of a little patch of herbs, upon which she makes daily drafts in summer, and which furnishes her with a nice col­lection of winter seasoning, without which Thanksgiving turkey would lose all flavor, while strong kinds are excellent for medicine.

Our Pacific Seal Skin In terestA n abstract of the preliminary re­

port of a special agent o f the United States Census Bureau, shows that the total seal skins and sea-otter skins tak­en on our Pacific coast during 18S0 was about 160,000. Of sea-otter having an average value of §50 per skin, there were 3500 captured in Alaska and 75 in California. Of the fur seal there was a total of 155,000 taken, of which 147,- 000 were taken in Alaska, valued at §10 each ; 6,000 in Washington Terri­tory and 2,000 in California, valued at only §5 per skin. The total value in first hands is about §1,750,000. The total capital invested in the business, excepting Indian canoe? and material, which no attempt was made to value, is about §750,000.

A t the regular meeting of the Poly­technic Association of the Am erican Institute, X ew York, held Tuesday evening, Oct. 6, Prof. Dunn showed and explained a newly invented flower-pot of pasteboard, peculiarly fastened.

On Tuesday evening about six o’clock, Milton Boyle was struck by a freight engine and instantly killed. He was returning from Dayton along the Mich­igan Central track, and when within about % of a mile of Wilson's crossing, a train from the west passed Mm. The supposition is that he stepped onto the other track and continued walking westward toward home. Before the eastward bound train had passed him, another came from the east andstruck liim, carrying him some distance, and then throwing him off about eight feet to one side. The train came on to Ga- lien and the hand-car went back and brought the body to this Station. A jury was impaneled, but owing to the absence o f the engineer and fireman of the engine which struck him, the jury adjourned until the next morning, and at present writing have not given their verdict. Milton Boyle is a son of Hugh Boyle, living about 1}4 miles northeast o f this place, and aged nine­teen years.

Prom the Lansing Republican.M ichigan and its R esources.

The above is the title o f a book of about 150 pages, compiled by Frederick Morley, commisioner of immigration, and just issued from the press o f the State printers. It is an exhaustive work, and the facts are gathering largely from State departments and statistics furnished by the most emi­nent authorities upon the subjects treated.

In his introduction the commission­er lias given the following facts in re­gard to the extent o f territory embrac­ed in Michigan ; its growth, industries, agricultural productions, institutions, and means o f transportation, as well as descriptions o f its soil, climate, tim­ber, financial condition, situation o f its unoccupied lands, and a review of its general characteristics as a home:

The area o f Michigan 13 56,451 square miles, not quite 2,000 less than the area o f England and Wales. I t is 9,000 square miles larger than the State of Y ew York, 10.000 larger than Pennsyl­vania, 16,000 larger than Ohio, 23.000 larger than Indiana, and 1,000 larger' than Illinois. The six Y ew England States embrace an area not quite 12,- 000 square miles larger than Michigan. When admitted to the Union in 1S37 its population was 174,467, and its rank among the 27 States was 23d. I t now has 1,636,331, and ranks as the 9 th among 38 States. I t has a coast line of 1,600 miles, around which vessels o f 2,000 tons may sail without losing Sight o f its territory.

Michigan is bounded on the uorth by the. largest body o f fresh water in the world, on the west "by thesecond larg­est; and excepting these there are uo lakes in ' Europe, A sia, or America

larger than that upon its eastern bor­der. Its climate has no equal in the moderation of its temperature in any State or Territory o f the same degree o f latitude east of the Rocky moun­tains. Most o f the southern peninsula lies between the same lines o f latitude as the State o f Yew York. The shore line o f the upper peninsula is mostly south of the latitude o f Quebec, and no part o f the State is as far north as Paris.

Michigan has more than 4,000 miles of railroad, and 51 county seats out o f 67, in the lower peninsula, have railroad connections, Yine others are lake ports. There are only seven which have no outlet by rail or water, and none of these is more than 20 miles from a railroad. In the upper penin­sula there is only one, and in the low­er peninsula but eight counties which are not reached by railroads already operated or in process of construction.

The farmers of Michigan have the assurance o f permanent competition for transportation to eastern and sea­board markets by rival lines of rail­road and by natural and artificial wa­ter ways. It is only within a few years that the northern counties of the lower peninsula have been known ex­cept by a few enterprising men, even among Michigan people. The exten­sion o f the lumber interests led to their first thorough exploration, and the fact has since transpired that great as has heen the profit from lum­bering, the partially cleared lands of the northern counties promise more to agriculture than they have yielded to the ax. There are thousands o f acres from which pine trees have heen cut, as well as other thousands which have never borne pine, into the soil o f which no plowshare has penetrated, but wMch will repay the labor of the hus­bandman, and can be purchased for less than a year’s rental " o f many of the lands o f Europe. That agriculture pays in Michigan is evinced by the re­ports o f the U. S. department o f agri­culture, which shows that iu a series of five years previous to and including 1S79, the average cash value per acre of eight leading productions o f the farm, taking in 12 of the principal farming States o f the Union was the greatest in Michigan. Seven-tenths of all the wheat raised in the country is grown in nine States, and only three excel Michigan. It is also one of the best fruit-producing States in the Union, and ranks among the highest in its yield o f wool. Its principal pro­ducts are staples for which there must be a constant and growing demand.

In order of production. Michigan stands first among the States in the growth and manufacture of lumber, salt copper, and fresh-water fisheries; second in iron, and fourth in wheat. It has the largest iron and copper mines in the world.

The number of farms in 18S0 was 118,941, embracing 10,977,105 acres, of which 6,211,209 were improved. There were assessed for taxes in 1881, 29,- 306,820 acres; the increase for 10 years being 42 per cent. The average size of the farms is a fraction over 92 acres, and a tenant farmer isscarcely known.

As regards labor, any man with an honest desire to earn a living, and will­ing to render a fair days’ work for fair wages, can always find something to do for which he will he well paid. The farms, the mines, the furnaces, lumber camps, mills, manufactories, and mechanic arts of the States, which are continually increasing in number and variety furnish a growing and di­versified demand for labor, and there is no region on earth where brains and muscle can be used more advantageous­ly together. If, however, a man with­out means chooses to lead an idle and thriftless life, he can starve to death here as soon as anywhere else.

The State is practically free from debt. Its public buildings are paid for, and the constitution prohibits it from borrowing money in excess of 850,000, except in time of war. The entire local indebtedness of its cities, vil lages, towns, counties and school dis­tricts, is less than SiO,000,000. State taxes are low, and one-third of them all is applied to educational purposes

The population shows l,247,9S9 of, native birth and 388,346 of foreign birth- A large portion of this popula­tion came from Y ew England, most of it from the rural counties of Yew York, and all bears the impress of genuine American thought and character, as is exhibited in the institutions of the State, the nature o f its laws, and the ideas whieh control popular expres­sions. The process of assimilati on has gone harmoniously forward, and there are no sectional or national distinc­tions between its citizens. Business and political successes are open alike to all, and even differences of lan­guages are lost after the lapse of a gen­eration. This may be ascribed largely to the school system, whieh makes ed­ucation free to all. The primary schools, Agricultural college, and the Tniversity are open, without charge for tuition, to any citizen, and in nom­inations to the government army and navy schools it is the established eus tom to leave the vacancies open to com­petitive examination. Young men of all nationalities, creeds, and conditions have equal chances in the race for success.

The statistics on various matters of interest to one seeking a home in a new country are given in this work in an exceedingly interesting and in telligihle form, hut are too extensive for reproduction in a newspaper arti­cle. I t is doubtless the most reliable work of the kind ever published in Michigan, and as such cannot but prove extremely valuable to prospec­tive settlers within our borders.

Copies of this pamphlet will be sent on application to those who are seeking Information concerning the character and resources of the State, and resi­dents of Michigan having friends else­where whom they may desire to im­part similar intelligence, are invited to send the names and post-office ad­dress o f such, persons to the commis­sioner o f immigration, Detroit, Mich.

Rev. E. Curtis, husband of the late Mrs. Curtis, for whose death Mrs. Bar­nard was recently tried and acquitted at Charlotte, was married to Miss Palmer of O wosso, on Dec. 9. The new wife is fifty years of age, and was for­merly a teacher in the high school at Greenville. Mr. Curtis is 70.

The Michigan salt product for the year ending Nov. 30, was 2,745,656 bar­rels, which is largely in excess of the manufacture of any previous year. The average price was 95 cents per barrel.

It now turns out that in the Barnard- Curtis trial, when the jury retired the first ballot stood, 10 for acquittal and 2 for conviction. One o f the latter says he voted that way in order to bring about discussion of the case, while one solitary juryman labored eight hours to bring about conviction. —la m in g Republican,

The assistant .chief engineer of the Coldwater fire department has been arrested for arson, charged wit-li firing buildings for the purpose of showing up the inefficiency o f the fire depart­ment and securing the addition o f a new engine, and of securing the re­ward usually paid by men whose prop­erty7 the department saved from the flames.

The following estimates for improve­ment of lake harbors and Michigan rivers were among those transmitted to Congress Dec. 5: An Sable §12,000, Bell ri ver $5,000, Black Lake harbor $25,000, Charlevoix 820,000, Cheboygan $20,000, Frankfort harbor 840,000, Grand Haven 8125,000, harbor of ref­uge of Lake Huron 8100,000, Ludin, ton 835,000, Manistee 840,000, Monroe $2,000, Muskegon 875,000, Marquette 818,000, Ontonagon 860,000, Pentvater harbor 835,000, harbor of refuge Por­tage Lake 8100,000, St. Joseph 83S.000, Saugatuck 825,000, South Haven $25,- 000, Thunder Bay $15,000, White river $40,000, Clinton river 825.000, Detroit river StS6,000, Grand river 815,000, Saginaw river 8205,000.

A young man named Tan Oslrand, of Wakelee, Cass county, was shot by a companion, he putting the gun that he supposed to be empty, to his shoul­der and firing. The coroner’s verdict was that Yan Ostrand came to his death by criminal carelessness. The one who shot him lias been arrested and held for trial. It is about time that some action he taken in this mat­ter of the careless handling of firearms.

Rev. E. Curtis, who has heen figur­ing in the Curtis-Barnard trial, has tes­tified that he once lost 860 playing poker on a lumber pile in Howard City, and that lie once took a brother preacher’s horse out of the barn in the night, at White Pigeon, to speed him. These disclosures look dark, hut when we consider that he formerly preached at Yiles, his fall has not- been so great after all.—Dowagiac Times.

Y . Y .,: I have suffered for many years from chronic catarrh and tried a great number of remedies without any permanent relief; but some six wreeks ago I was induced to try your “ Cream Balm,” and with the very best results. Relief was almost instantaneous, and continued use has resulted in an al­most complete cure. Therefore I take pleasure in recommending your Cream Balm to all who may be suffering as I was. S. M.

Dr. Kennedy’s “Favorite Remedy” does not heat and inflame the blood; it cools and purifies it. Better than this, even, it has cured many a raving appetite for drink. It will do you good, not evil, all the days of your life, A ll druggists sell it. Dr. David Kennedy, Proprietor, Rondout, Y . Y .

Suffer.No One Heed

A sure cure for the Blind, Bleeding, Itch­ing and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered by Dr. Williams (an Indian remedy), called Dr. W illiams’ Indian Ointment. A single box has cured the worst chronic cases of 25 and 30 years standing. No one need suffer five minutes after applying this wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions, Instruments, and Electuaries do more harm than good. Williams’ Ointment absorbs the tumors, allays the intense itching (particularly at night after getting warm in bed), acts as a poultice, gives instant and painless relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itching of the private parts, and nothing else.

Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinberry, of Cleveland, says about Dr. Williams’ Indian Pile Ointment: “ I have used scores of pile cures, but it affords, me pleasure to say that I have never found anything which gave such immediate and permanent relief as Dr. Williams’ Indian Ointment.”

The members of the troupe inform the Record that they knew o f no one be­ing seriously Injured.

I f there is one thing worse than an­other, it is the almost universal prac­tice o f parents lying to children to frighten them. Last evening we over­heard a nearly full-grown girl fretting because she did not dare to go past the hearse house in the dusk, and the first thought was, what terrible liars her parents must be. Parents who can­not obtain obedience by other means than this should give up the manage­ment o f their children to some one else who can, and if they must lie about spooks and hobgoblins do so to those who have arrived at an age to enable them to detect the foolishness, but speak the truth to children if to no one else.

The dedication o f Olivet Congrega­tional church of this place, on Tuesday last, was a very pleasant occasion. A l­though the furnishing of the liouserwas not complete, tlie skill and kindness of friends found means to supply all needs. Tlie presence of many citizens, some from a distance, manifested a gratifying interest in this first service o f the kind in the town. The services were opened by tbe invocation, by Rev. M. M. Martin of Three Oaks, followed by reading of tbe Scriptures and prayer, by Rev. A . S. "Wood of St. Jo­seph. The sermon was by Rev. Leroy Warren o f Lansing, and the dedicatory prayer by Rev. Martin; benediction by Rev. Janies TTebster. These services were alternated by appropriate music. A historical statement was given by A. $. "Wight, showing that tlie cost of the building, including donations, has been Si,350. and there is no debt. Im­portant aid, outside of home subscrip­tions, has been received from churches at Three Oaks, St. Joseph and Dowa­giac; a chair for the pulpit, from An­drews & Co. of Chicago; Mr. J. "Whit­ten o f this place, built and donated a pulpit of elegant workmanship, valued at $75; Mr. J. D. Thompson, $100 in carpentry; siding, lath and ceiling, by Baumer & Co. The ladies’ church so­cial lias furnished money for tlie pur­chase o f 100 chairs. A Bible was the gift o f a friend of Mrs. G. Bridgman. A pleasing occurrence was the unex­pected presence of Rev. and Mrs. James Webster o f Parma, Mich., well known in this community in former years.

The last meeting of the ladies’ church social, at the residence of Mrs. C. M. Smith, was practical, pleasant and successful. Friend Charlie? seemed to enjoy it. The next will be at “Aunt Eliza” Daker’s on the 16th inst., at 10A . M.

The Banker’s Daughter.The public are under obligations to

Mr. Ereer, manager o f Music Hall, for bringing to this city the best play that has ever been given here and the best company that has ever played here. “ The Banker’s Daughter” was rendered in really elegant style by Collier’s Com­bination, and from beginning- to end the acting was pronounced capital and high-toned. Lillian was charmingly rendered by Miss Lizzie Hudson, and in the dramatic climaxes her acting was telling. John Strebelow is a strong character, and was strongly taken by Mr. Collins, who made a de­cided impression. Mr. Babbage and Mr. Brown were capitally taken by Mr. Burnett, who brought Out the fun of the character to perfection. "West­brook by Yalod was good, and G. Washington Phipps, "Wm. Wilson, gave us an insight into a new vein of fun. The character was really rich, and the audience fairly roared. Walter Collier acted well as Routledge, especially in the duel scene, and Clarence Montai- gue as the Count was powerful. The art-critic was well taken by Mr. Bank- son, and Edna Bankson as the child Yatalle, did some capital acting. Airs. Bankson filled the part of the Aunt well. Mrs. Brown was rendered by Miss Gertie Malmene, and she was pi­quant, and merry, and quite captivat­ing. Altogether this company lias giv- •en the best satisfaction of any compa­ny that ever visited us. I f they come again they would have a crowded house,—Kingston, AT. Y. Record.

W e clip the following from the Troy, Y . T . Times: “Letters pour in daily, sometimes by dozens, scores, and hun­dreds, to Dr. David Kennedy, of Ron- dout, Y . T ., in grateful acknowledge­ment of the great benfits received from his ‘Favorite Remedy.’ And they il­lustrate the power of the medicine in some new, and, perhaps, hitherto un­tested phase of operation. But it is when a sufferer comes miles to tell the story ofj his deliverance in person, to grasp the doctor by the hand and greet him as a true and valued friend, that the interest in his case deepens and multiplies.”

mmBerrien County Record, Buchanan, Michigan, December; 15, J 881,

Wouders o f the Creation.The follow ing paragraph is from the

eloquent Chalmers:“ About the time o f the invention of

the telescope another instrument was farmed, which laid open a scheme no less wonderful, and rewarded theinqnis- itive spirit o f man. This was the m icro­scope. The one led me to see a system in every star; the other led me to see a world in every atom. The one taught me that this mighty globe, with the whole burden of its people and its conn- tries, is but a gram o f sand o f the high immensity; the other teaches me that every grain o f sand may harbor within the tribes and families of a pusy popula­tion. One told the insignificance of the world I tread upon; the other redeems it from all insignificance, for it tells me that in the leaves o f every forest, and the waters o f every rivulet there are worlds teeming with life, and number­less are the glories o f the firmament. The one has suggested to me that, sfoove and beyond all that is visible to c man, there may be fields of creation that sweep immeasurably along, and carry the impress o f the Almighty’s hand to the remotest scenes of the universe; the other suggests to me that, within and beneath all that minuteness which the aided eye o f man has been able to ex­plore, there may be a region o f invisi­bles, and that, could we draw aside the mysterious curtain which, shrouds it from our senses, we might see a theatre of as many wonders as astronomy has unfold­ed—a universe within a compass of a point so small as to include all the pow­ers of the m icroscope, but where the wonder-working God finds room for the exercise of all the attributes, where he cau raise another mechanism of worlds, and fill and animate them all with the evidence of his glory.”

The Etiology of Diphtheria.D r. Hubert Airy has made a report

to the local government board of Eng­land, o f the results o f his investigations into several local outbreaks of diph­theria. The disease did not seem to be affected by elevation or dampness of site, nor by foulness nor over-crowding. H e found abundant instances of its con­tagiousness, as in schools, from visits to the dwelling o f a diphtheria patient, from making purchases at a shop where the shopwoman had diphtheritic sore throat. There was one striking case of the conveyance o f diphtheria to a new locality, b y a person who had been in contact with a diphtheria patient, but had not herself contracted the disease. This would show that the poison can attach itself to the person or clothes of a visitor or occasional attendant, and be thus transported for some distance. Dr. A iry concludes that diphtheria is caused by an organism which can multiply both within and without the human body, its increase m the latter case being 'pro­moted b y day soils, b y the season, and b y moisture- I t is also capable of in­fecting both water and m ilk and seems to flourish best in the autumn months.

The Conductor.[Philadelphia le d g e r ]

"What an alert type o f men the con­ductors on the steam3»ilroads are! Pro­bably the engineers e e also, but there is no good chance to get a look at them while they have their hands on the lev­ers, and their eyes peering along the line o f track as far as keen vision can reach. But the conductor is all alive under Iris quiet and impassive exterior. There is little in his car he does not see, even while Ms whole attention appears to be concentrated by the ticket he holds in one hand to be out b y the. punch in the other. And there is noth­ing be does not hear and understand down to the most needless question. Amid the clangor of the swift moving train, the slightest unusual noise or jar about the running gear tells its story to Ms acutely educated ear and quickened senses. And if anything is wrong, or suspected to be wrong, how promptly, yet how quietly, with what perfect free­dom from fuss,' or anything approaching flurry or panic, he moves toward the right place. He is the very embodi­ment o f self-poised qui vine. W hat soldiers these men would make!

Ambition in Life.That life is a poor one wMch is with­

out ambition—wMch has no object to work for, no height to strive to reach. A person may be good and kindbearted wMIe willing to live in idle ignorance, and let the world go on growing in wealth and wisdom, without nis takfn; an active part and interest in its onwar< movements. He may be good, but most certainly he is dull o f mind and sluggish, of body. Ho individual destitute o f ambition will make his mark in the world. He will come and go; few w ill note his coming, and few m il grieve at his going. Am bition it is that gives to men the will and energy and the deter, ruination to accomplish great things.

Who W ill Follow ![Literary W orld .}

Longfellow , Emerson, W Mttier, Holmes, Lowell—what are we to do for authors when these are gone? W ho is in the succession? On whom will their mantles fall? These questions are often asked in a despondent tone, as if Ameri­can literature were to die with these. F or one answer to them, it is enough to ask whether American literature died with Irving, and Cooper, and Poe? And if this is not enough, other answers are b y no means wanting.

One such other is that in literature acMevement is seldom repeated, and, therefore, fame is seldom duplicated. There has been but one Homer, one Dante, one Chauneer, one Spenser, one Shakespeare, one Milton. Each indi­vidual genius makes M s own mark in Ms own place, and passes aw ay. Ho one copies it. He who attempts to copy it proves himself not a genius. It is not to be desired, that we should have new Longfellows, Emersons, WMttiers, Lowells, Holmeses. W e do not want their sacred touch to become a common performance. Their followers must strike new paths for themselves.

There is another thought. Great fames may b e rising around us which we are too near to measure. The older generation o f American authors, of wMch Bryant was one, have been be­fore us so long as to become invested with some shadowy grandeur of the his­toric personage.* The present public has grown up, as it were, into their presence. I t found them jp possession o f the field. They were already o f the past, and the past is venerable. They were before the war, and the war has shoved the years that preceded it back into an honorable antiquity. Ours is a new era. It cannot yet be that the men who belong to tbe new era should seem to be of the same stature with the men o f the old. They are too near us. W e touch them daily. They are bone o f our hone and flesh o f our flesh. B ut for the generation which shall come after, they may be loom ing up into the proportions w hich other figures wear to-day. They have not yet assumed the historical perspective those lines alone determine fame.

But there is another thought still. W e shall never know, as a wise and thoughtful scholar said to ns the other day, how m uch the civil war decimated our literary ranks. Ours is a thinned out generation. W e are the one-armed soldier. Our best members are missing. Poets, essayists, historians, philosophers, in the embryo, M ghest promises of future performance were cnt down in the days o f 1861-65. W e shall-never know what American literature lost in the losses .of those terrible years. Per­haps there must be an interregnum of m ediocrity until the youth o f to-day have attained their capacity o f to-m or­row.

A l a d y ’ s TVislx-“ Oh, howr I w ish m y skin was as

d ea r and s o ft as yours,” said a lady: to h er friend . “T on can easily m ake it so, said th e friend . “H ow ,” inquired th e lady, “B y using H op B itter, that m akes pure, r ich blood and bloom ing health . I t d id it fo r "me, as you ob­serve.” Head o f it .

American and English F lirt*.Apparently one of the most delightful,

certainly one of the most dangerous u well as the most despicable occupations, is that silly waste o f time and perilous playing with edged tools, called gener­ally, “ flirting.” No country holds the m onopoly of tins questionable diver­sion—this cruel employment -for empty hearts and idle heads—this flinging of stones and arrows at a living mark, which if sport to the one, is often death to the other, and both sexes sin alike in about equaL proportions. .M ale flirts, who do all but make the decisive offer, are matched with female coquettes, who lead men on to the conclusive confession, only to turn round blahkfy and sa y :

Ho, I never meant it .” Jocondo has Jocrisse, Don Juan “ her frolic Grace,” as their several counterparts and fo ils ; and when these meet those no harm is done ; for the heartlessness of the one is well matched b y the heartlessness o f the other, and diamond cnt diamond in the most approved fasMon.

This kind o f open flirting exists only in England and America, where the wo- m.-n, more especially the unmarried gii-ls, are free. Even where flirting is allowed-to the married—as in the South­ern nations, where the girls are kept alone prisoners, and only their mothers may move in liberty—even then, when the mother is forty, no such open and con­fessed flirtations go on in society as do in the two great English-speaking coun­tries. W hether the result is favorable to manners, and even morals, or the contrary, is a question on wMch there is much to be said. One thing we can all see, and that is the greater boldness of manners wMch tMs m odem freedom of habits has induced in both English and Americans, and because the scale of that freedom is so much Mgher with the latter than the former, the conse­quent increase of boldness in the child­ren of our cousin. American men and American women are perhaps tbe bold­est and most uncompromising flirts in the world. I t must needs be so in a society wMch banishes mothers as superfluous, old ladies as nuisances, and any kind of chaperonage as an infringe­ment of the glorious transatlantic birth­right and an insult to human nature. We do not say for a moment that this unchecked, uncontrolled intercourse be­tween the young men and women in America leads to grave mischances; but we do say that it leads to an organized system and recognized tone of flirting which strikes us, used to more reticence and less freedom, as odd, to say tbe least of it. and essentially “ bad form ,” as the youth of the day would call it. I f an Englishman were to permit himself to say to a single favored one anything like what any American man would'say to any girl whatsoever with whom he might converse, society would mark Mm as dangerous, and careful mothers would keep their daughters out of Ms way, as watch-dogs guarding the lambs from prowling wolves. But the American girl would and does think nothing of it. She is used to dose sailing, and gives as she takes. She has made one of a party of youths nnd maidens who meet up in the mountains for a summer, and w hopair day after day nnd far into the night, among the lonely valleys and in the dnskv glades of the silent forest, think­ing nothing of it and not supposing that anyone else w ill think more than she does- She has been used to being taken to dancing parties by the young man of the hour, who calls for Her and is her “ friend” for the occasion. The mother does not go, and the girl is confined to the eare of her male chaperon without hesitation or repugnance.—Zondon Queen.

A W ell Always Full o f Ice .About half a mile from Brownsville,

M inn., is the natural ice well. On visit­ing it we found a shaft about twenty feet deep, and we could plainly see ice upon it. W e then visited a shaft afew feet distant, and immediately upon entering it a cloud of steam, caused by the cold air coming in contact with our heated bodies, rushed forth. This shaft was excavated for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, the cause of the ice forming in the well, some of the inhabitants believing in the theory of a large cave being connected with i t Alter reaching the depth of 180 feet without result, drifting was abandoned. Before the shaft was made it is claimed that the well filled with ice to within six feet o f the top. A thermometer marked 30 degrees Fahrenheit About six feet back from the mouth o f the tunnel the floor and sides are in many places cov­ered with ice. A strong current of air constantly flows from the excavation that- is very preeeptible 100 feet distant W ith the thermometer at 90 degrees an atmosphere below the freezing point is pleasant to contemplate, even though dangerous to investigate.—LaCroUo Chronicle.

Dr. Price’ s reputation has been acquired candid, honest dealing and years of successful practice.

My practice, not one o f experiment, but founded on thelaws o f Mature, with years o f experience and evidence to sustain it, does not tear down, make sick to make well; no harsh treatment, no trifling, no flattering. W e know the cause and the remedy needed, no gness work, hut knowledge gained bit years o f experience in the treatment o f Chronic dis caeca exclusively; no encouragement withott a prospect. Candid in onr opinion, reasonable in our charges, claim not to know everything, or to cure everybody, but do claim to reason and common sense. W e invite the sick, no matter what their ailment, to call, investigate before they abandon hope, make interrogation and decide forthemselves. It will cost, nothing, as consultation is free. Visits made regularly.

Dr. V. Clarence Price can be consulted at Niles, Bond House, Saturday, the 17th o f December. At Laportc, Ind., Myers House, on Saturday, the 19th November, and on Saturday the 14th o f January, 1882.

Very Good Except at Home.Concerning a very disagreeable old

person who may have done his best to he a Christian, but who does not seem to have made a success of it, tbe Con­stitutionalist remarks: “ He was cross aud fretful at borne. He was a terror to Ms wife and children; still be was a deacon and a ‘ pillar ’ in the church. Vet he was b y no means wholly bad. On. the other liand, he was very good every­where except at home—home, of all the places in the world the very place which should be a little heaven below. And, worst of all, he was typical, to a certainextent, o f a great many men who,

The Man with the Flail.Detroit Free Press.

I t carried the beholder back to thirty years ago, wben the thrashing-machine was beard only at rare intervals, and tbe honest farmer spread his golden stalks on the clean barn floor and flailed away with such tempered blows that not a ker­nel was broken. The man who had it sat down ou one of the benches in the W est Circus Pink. The rare sight of such an article halted every pedestrian, and the nianhad to keep explaining over aud over:

“ W ell11’Jl have some beans to shell tMs fall, and I kinder thought ’ twould he easier to flail ’em out. The hardware man told me he had to send to Ver­mont for it.”

Pretty sood along came a gray-headed Alderman, and when he saw that flail be looked ten years younger all at once.

“ I bandied that for over ten years,” he said, as he picked it up and spit on Ms hands. ‘ ‘Seems like old times to get hold of this liickory again. ”

H e stepped out one side to give the crowd an exMbition on the grass, and Ms success was great. At the second blow the flail end hesitated in mid-air, wobbled about and finally came down with a whack on the patriot’s head, mak­ing him see more stars than a winter’s night ever brought out. He dropped the weapon with the remark that he was already ten minutes late in keeping an appointment, and he was rubbing Ms skull as far down the street as he could he seen. The next man. to try it was one who got off a passing car under tho idea that a dog-fight was in progress.

“ A flail? Hal ha! W hy, I haven’t seen a flail since I was married,” he chuckled as he reached for It. “ I pre­sume 1 have flailed a thousand bushels of wheat in m y time. Ton boys stand back.”

Tbe boys retreated, and the man lifted tbe flail on M gh and patted the grass in a vigorous manner.

“ Yes, m y stint used to he twenty bushels a day,” he continued, and though I do say it myseilf I ------•”

'Som ething happened. H e dropped the flail, seized Ins jaw, and danced o ff as if he had springs under him, and al­though a dozen voices asked wliat h it Mm he refused to tell.

B y and by a third man come sailing along, and when he saw the flail he re­marked that Ms father had used one lik e it nearly all his lif eL and was called the smartest fiaaler in New Hampshire.

“ Can’t yon use it?” inquired one o f the crowd.

“ W hy, of course. I f you boys want to see how our fathers got their wheat to m ill I ’ll give you a little exhibition. Here, hub, h old m y hat. ”

H e "buttoned his coat, moistened his hands, andhegan work. The first blow nearly broke a man’s knee; the second cracked against a boy’s elbow, and at the third the flatter grabbed the top of M s bead and sat down with a subdued look in tbe com ers of M s mouth.

“ W ell, I guess I ’ll be jogging along,” said the owner of the flail, as he rose up. ‘ ‘It’s all in getting the kink out o f it. A feller who makes twists and wobbles a special study won’t git h is head broke more’n twice a day, but a green hand m ight’s w ell sit under a brick kiln during a tom ader. H ay, gentlemen,’ '
