The LogiHlativocommittooa luivo vis-ited-tlio various public iiiHlituiions of the state, learned their wants and nec-essities and will soon shoot in their a p -propriation hills. The long estaiilished custom of adjourning the legisblurr for a week or ten days to permit the committees to mako such visits is in llio writer's opinion, a good custom to ahol-ish. The proposed tour is known days in advance to the managers of their institutions and when the committees arrive they of course find every t i l ing in apple pie order and the managers on hand to receive them as very welcome guests. Tho managers conduct the commtttees through all the departments of the institutions thus visited, show up the admirable methods /.'mpioyud, thu

necessity of liberal appropriations for additional room, better facilities &c, &c. and as the managers do pretty much all tho talking, the c o m m i t t o r gener-ally go away very favorably impressed with tho management and methods of tho institutions. The plan of visit ing these "wards of the state" is a good deal like that of visiting your best girl on Sunday nights. She knows you are c o m i n g and long before y o u arrive the parlor is put in good order, her best frizzes are lifted from the toilet stand and bewitchingly adjusted to her thinking department, her eomplection

undergoes a beautifying process, the choicest of the wardrobe attires her agi le form, ribbons, rosetts and laces

aroadded until she looks good enough to eat without syrup. And thus ar-rayed she meets you at the door at the appointed hour and as you enter the parlor following her graceful form and basking m her sweet smile, your hea r goes right out to thatgirl and she knows it. (If any reader of this letter has never had any such experience as this, ho is a crusty old bachelor with a heart no bigger than a hen's liver.) Now if

you call on her Monday morning, sur-prise her right after breakfast and liml her as sweet as a peach then, w h y go

a head and bnt high on the girl. 11" tho legislative committees would visit our public institutions in small sipiad:! and without giving tho managers- pre-vious notice, they would then k n o w more about the every day work-ings o f . t h e m than they do now. W h e n a bank examiner visits a bank for tho purpose of seeing if its alTairi are prop-erly conducted he doesn't send word in advance to tho bank otlicers that he is coming. He steps in without imking and invites the cashier to show up. And that is the right way to go at it. The same plan ought to be adopted by the

legislature in making a tour of our pub-lic institutions. No doubt the manag-ers themselves would he very glad to have it so, for it goes without; saying

that most of our state institutions are admirably managed.

In this letter very little can be said with reference to the senatorial c o n -test as the result of Tuesday's voting cannot probably reach you in t ime for publication this week. I t can safely be said however, that the outside feel ing has been steadily growing in favor of Senator Ferry and than the recent at-tempts to injure his prospects have made him more friendsn than ever. An

end to the contest is expected this week. Let it come.

The Grand Rapids Democrat says il is informed,that the only anti Ferry men in Lowell are the defeated aspir-

At least two of the' eb feated aspirants" are as good Ferry men as can- be found anywhere, while on the other hand there are some anti-Ferry men in Lowell who were not aspirants for the post-olllce. The Democrat's in-formant was incorrect in ids statement.

Died.— Wednesday. Feb. 7. 18^!. of Brights disease, Mr. John Wilson of this place. Aited 02 years.

Mr. Wilson was one of our most re • pi cted and oldest townsihen, having come with his family to tins place from New York State twenty O I K J years ago. It is with sorrow we record the death of such a man. His ever genial tem-perament made him a man with many fr iends and few if any enemies. He was an active earnest worker in all religious work, especially in tho Sab-bath-school. He w a s a great friend to children and was loved by all. Many a little one will miss the pleasant word and smile, that was always the welcome of Uncle John as he was famil iarly called by all the young. During our many years acquainianc.' with him, we have always known the aim of bis l ife-work to be with a view to the fn-ture beyond. He will be missed by all, and though dead the harvest of his l ife-work is not yet all gathered. W e would extend our warmer', sympatliy to tbe bereaved friends ispeciidly to his wife and two daughters. Mrs. Wilson will b i l l after live with her daiighters Mrs.

T. J. Cooper of Bay City and Mr.-. Col Merrill of St. Louis.

El). JOURNAI.. As several parlies have requested me to write them about the country here. I thought I could best reach them through the J O U R N A I . : pro-viiftng you have space to publish this. 1 find the Sontherners as a pj-oplesociable and generous almost to a fault, far more so than any people 1 have met in the north. As soon as 1 entered Kentucky, I came in contact with southern people and they were all free to converse with me in regard to their condition before and after the war. Before the war their principal property consisted in slaves; land was of secondary importance. Cot-ton was here their principal crop, and tiirongh the aid of slave labor they were able to live in luxury and idleness. Tnis word is the key to the causes of their present straightened-condition. Their lands were productive, the growing of cotton and cane a mere routine, requir-ing but little energy, thought or care on their part. The slaves performed all the labor and had most of the care of their plantations. The whites had nothing to stimulate and develope their energies; but instead relapsed from one generation to another into elteminacy and compar-tive helplessness. In this condition they were deprived of the right to their slaves and slave labor and being incompetent to meet the changed conditions in which they wore placed, or to solve the new problems of farming and livihood that were presented to them, they must rise-very slowly if they depend entirely on t l i e i r own efTorts. The southerners are not agricultuial economists, but if I may bo allowed the expression, they are real political students. They excel the north-ern people m this respect. They are

isbed sowing winter wheat here the 20th of Deci nii.er. If this is followed by a crop of southern p''as grown raid plow-ed under, wheat or other grsdn crops may follow every year. Water isexcel-ent in Ibis pari of Ceorgia. far lietter for washing ihe person or clothing than rain water at home, it is reached 20 to |o f..et below surface. Running springs are frequont. and furnish the br- t of water.

The railroad f inm Atlanta to Macon— I'i;; miles—ruiiH on iho djviding ridge b i tweenthn (inlf and Allanlic Ocnm. not a bridge is passed in Ibis distances-only a few small culverts, hence there are no large streams, marshes, or s tag-nanl water near.

The climate is very healthy and mild. Today, .Ian. I. I rode several miles in an open biiguy. anil had no nccasion for an ovorco.it. Saw several farmers plowing and sowing oats. Strawberries are be-ginning to blossom. They expect ripe strawberries hero tho last of March. Peaches loth of May, and early apples 1st of June. This place is destined to become a great fruit section: fruits rip en so much earlier than n the north that they bring ready and exorbitant prices. Parnell a few years ago receiv-ed for n Miigle car load *1,200. This year peaches brought as high as fc'J.OO

per bn. There are several largo orchar.li here. Mr. WoodrnlT has 100 acres. Judge Cunningham has a peach orchard of 000 acres seven miles south of this place. Good improved farms can be had here foi $10 per acre with fair buildings and tluvo to four miles from Depot. Northern people are invited to come and assist in restoring the country to its for-mer condition of prosperity.

A I'o-'sibli! Knit foui i ty Koad. The Detroit Free Press says: "Barry

county is traversed by but one railroad, the Grand Rapids division of the Michi-gan Central, while the lower portions of Kent and Ionia counties are still an un-occupied territory. The Grand Trunk, having an eye to the main chance, have heen locking over the territory alluded to and have planned a'road to run from Battle ''reek north to Lowell. The con-templated line will pass through Bedford Johnstown. Baltimore. Hastings and Freeport. Friday night an enthusiastic meeting was held at Hastings. Great interest was manifested in the new lino and the town of Baltimore, whicii was represented, guaranteed the right of way and Ihe grading througli that place. The town of Johnstown, Hastings and Freeport, it is said, will do as <vdl at a meeting soon to be held at Battle Creek. The benefits to be obtained to the Grand Trunk from this project are chiefly in lb" local trallic which is likely to be ob-tained. Grand Rapids, which is quite a distributing point for the jobbing trade, will be pul m closer relationship with towns to the south of her. while when the new Cvand Trunk line hctwien De-troit and Chicago is Imill these wil l .be competitive points from both Detroit and i hicago.

A s T O T H E L O W E L L . A N D B A T T L E

C R E E K L I N E . — T h e Nashville News, in its railroad article of last week, speaks of Lowell as "the little moss-bound vi l -age," and intimates that, because of •its close juxtaposition with Grand

Rapids"—whatever that means,—it can never amount to more than it is. Wo admire Ornos "sand" in this, as in all mailers; but he does not know what he is talking about, or he would never have made such a ridicu-lous statement. Having had occasion to look into the matter of Lowell's bus-iness status,we are prepared to give the News somr figuros. and ask its enter-prising editor to "read, consider and digest the samo."

i n 1882, lives times as much money was expended for new buildings in Lowell than in Nashville. More than three times as much wheat is marketed at LoweH'than in Nashville. Theamount of fioiirand feed shipped froin Lowell is ten times that from Nashville. The amount of furniture made there is ten times that from Nashville. The amount if iuriuturi; made ' hero is four times than at Nashville. Over 0,000,000 feet of lumber and several millions of shing-les were manufactuml there last year. With a southern railroad outlet. Lowell would treble the mauufacturo of lumber in the next three years. Her increase in population in 1882 was fiye times that of Nashville. All that Lowell n e e d s -ami hbu appreciates tho fact—to mako her one of the most thriving trade cen-ters of the state is another railroad To her north, and readily roached by the Flat river, are almost inexhaust-ible forests of the richest pine. Last year over 170 million feet of pint were rafted down Flat river. Even that amount could be treblod il need be. With a mmtlnmi outlet. Lowell could ship millions of feet of this lumber into the manufactur-ing centers of that country. That's tin kind of a "little moss-bound village' Lowell is.

Starting south from that place, you reach some of the richest farming conn try and finest hard wood forests in tin state, with a light ot way for a railroad already secured, and a roadbed that could be made for a standard nuage at outlay of less than 82.000 to the mile The enterprising village of Freeport is first reached—a village .which, with railroad, would be the equal of Nash-ville. Already she has a handle factory saw-mill . grist mill, plaining-mill and other establishments employiii): num-bers of men, and which would give a rich trallic to the road. As fine a coun-try a.s Michigan alfords surrounds the place; and lor it:i size and facilities, there is not a more enterprising town m Michigan. As to Hastings, it has seven l inns which will, in 18.S:!. ship fully 1,600 full carloads of freight, and pay" the railroad now here over $(10,000 —or more than tlie combined business interests of Nashville pay. With a (irand Trunk outlet. Hastings would be-

i all this and see if it does not interest you in some way.

From what I could observe in passing through Kentucky and Tennessee. I lie land is rather poor and uninviting. The water was also of poor quality; but when we reached Atlanta the appear-ance of the country changed for the bet-ter. Here we began to meet the •red lands' of Georgia, about eightv miles wide and 160 miles long running di:;gon-allv across the state. These lands have been exhausted in growing cotton, but are easily and quickly brought to a high state of cultivation. Some of these lands five years ago would only produce 1-10 bale i i lint cotton; the crons have heen increased each year and this season they have produced IJ bales ("IOO lb per bale.) per acre. Oat^ produce 20 to 10 bushel per acre. This season a I'nMd near by prodnciM H>0 bu. per acre and aft. r -w.irds a lieav^ crop of p^as the sum-season. A field cultivated to wheat pro-duced 0 bu. per acre. By generous cul- t |,L.n operating here as much as she pays tivation the crop was increased and this " year produced -11 bu. per acre; about the j same rates ot increase has been realize " with other crops where improved farm-ing has been pursued. These examples show that the sods in this part of the stale at least, can bo brought to a yen-high and prolitablo state ot cultiv;itioh.

"What does il want, anyway?" asked tlie city editor, stepping forward.

"I bog of you, sir," said the artist, dashing at his sheet of paper, "just live minutes as yon are, and you arc im-mortal for life,"

Just at this moment the court report-er sauntered in,

"Ah, Wilde, old man," cried tho ar-tist, catching s ight of him, "really beg your pardon; likeness so strong to my friend. Sir, you shall be my test sitter. Just lean against that desk over there. Cross your limbs; throw your arms be-hind you and keep your eyes on that ink bottle over there,"

"Whore did it drop from?" asked tho court reporter, and by this time a little group of editors and reporters stood gazing curiously upon the artist,

Children of Divorced Parents, An interesting <ineslion as to the

claimed right of a divorced mother to see her children after their custody lias been awarded to the father has just been decided by tho general term of tha Supreme Court in this city, Thcdivorcc had been btained by the husband, who refused to permit the wife to visit their child, which was l iving with him. The mother petitioned the court for leave to see the child, and the special t e n s re-ferred the matter lo a referee to ascer-tain whether the petitioner was loading a proper life. The general term reverses this order, and holds that whether tho petitioner was or was not leading a proper life after the separation "the court has no jurisdiction on the petition of the wife after final judgment to enjoin upon tho buslmnd or the children tho company of the woman who has vio-lated her marriago VIHTS." Il explains that when tho marital rdal ion is ended by a decree of divorce thn Mibseiiuent relation of the parlies to each other is the same as though tin1. I .-.d never been , married, "When the doer r of divorce is granted upon the npp'i :.tion of tho husband for ihe marilai i;.', h i' v of his wife," says tho opinion, ".-.lie ceases to have any right to the car . control, ed-ucation or companionship of tin: minor children." This is so whether the final doeree awards the custody of the child-ren to the father or is silent on that sub- | j e c t , " - A', 1'. //•:riiUI.

It is estimated that every brick in a building at Winnipeg, now in progress, will cost 10 cents.

My friend, the late Sam Phillips, one day met Dou rltvs Jorrold. and told him ho had seen", the day before, Payne Collier, looking wonderfully p y and well—quite an evergreen, "Ah," said Jorrold, "he may be evergreen, but he's never read," On my repealing this to Hicks, lie smiled and said, "Now thal's what 1 call 'ready wit,' "

Jorrold was in Franco, and with a Frenchman who was ontliusiastio on the subject of tho Anglo French Alli-ance. Ho said that ho was prottd to see tho English and Freneh such good friends at last. Jorrold -Tut! the best thing 1 know between France and l^ug-land is the sea.

A very popular medical gen l l ennn called ou Jorrold one day. When tho visitor was about to leave, Jorrold, look-

his loc-

tor! 1 see your livery is a measle turned up witli scarlet fever.

The law's a pretty bird, and has charming wings, 'Twould bo quite a bird of paradise if ii didn't carry such a terrible bill.

One of the "Hooks and Eyes" was expatiating ou the fact that" he had dineti three times at the Duke of Dev-onshire's, and tha! on noil her occasion h id there been any lisli at table, "1 cannot aocounl for il." he added. "I can," said ilorrold; "they ale it all up stairs." •

A friend lot us say Harlow was de-scribing lo .lerrold tho story of his eourt-hip ami m irriago how his wife had boon brought tip in a convent, and was on tho point of taking the veil, when his prosenco burst upon her en-raptured sight. Jorrold listened to tho end of the >lory. and by way of com-ment, said. "All, she evidently thought Harlow bettor than nun."

At a meoting of tho literary gentle-men a proposition for the establishment of a newspaper arose. The shares of llio various persons who were lo be iu-teroslod wore in course of arrangement, when an unlucky printer suggested an a b s e n t lilt' nilcu'r w h o w a s a s r e m a r k -

able for Ids imprudeneo as for his tal-ent. "What!" exclaimed Jorrold; "share and risk with him! Why, 1 wouldn't be partners with him in an aero of Paradise!"

Jorrold was seriously disappointed with a certain book written by one of his friends, Tlie friend hoard that Jor-rold had expressed his disappointment. Friend (to Jorrold)—I hear you said

was the worst book I over wrote, Jorrold—No, I didn't, 1 said it was the worst book anybody ever wrote.

A gentleman who enjoyed the repu-tation of dining out continually and breaking bread with the refinement of a gourment, once joined a party, which included Jorrold, late in llio evening. The diner-out threw himself into a chair and exclaimed, with disgust, "Tut! I had nothing but a mean mutton chop for dinner!" J o r r o l d - A h , I see; you dined at home,

Jorrold and some friends were dining in a private room at a tavern, After dinner the landlord appeared, am", hav-ing informed the company that the house was partly under repair and that ho was inconvenienced for want of room, requested that a stranger might be allowed to lake a chop at a separate table in tho apartment. The company assented, and the stranger, a person of commonplace appoaraneo. was intro-duced, Ho ate his chop in silence; but having finished his repast he disposed himself for those forty winks which make the sweetest s leep of gourmets. Hut the stranger snored so loudly and inharmouiousTy that conversation was disturbed. Some gentlemen of the par-ty now jarred glasses or shuflled upon the floor, determined to arouse the ob-noxious sleeper. Presently the stranger started from his sleep and to his logs, and shouted to Jorrold, "I know you, Mr, Jorrold; but you shall not make a butt of me!" "Then don't bring your hog's head in here!" was the prompt reply.

The Way Oonvicts Are Controlled in the Nebraska Penitentiary.

In conversation with a reporter for Ihe Omaha Herald, a discharged con-vict told of his life in the prison at Lin-coln. When askud what was done when a prisoner refused to work he said:

"Then you arc ordered to 'No. -10,'— W e call it 'the hole,' It is a bare cell, except for a bucket and a kit of water. You get two or three ounces of broad twice a day and all the water you like to drink. Several doses of house mix-ture are given you. not because you arc-sick, but as a punishment. Il is com-posed of ipecac and some other ingredi-ents that 1 do not know, and makes you as weak as a kitten. It is tho favorite remedy for all sickness in the prison,— Then y o u are trussed, a pair of hand-culls being put on with your hands be-hind you and drawn up as l ightly as you can bear il by a rope running around your neck. Your hands are only let down lo allow you lo catyour bread, after which they are drawn up again,— The line throws all the strain upon the shoulder blades, and often after a man is let out he carries his hands behind him 15 or 20 minutes, trying to ge l them down and straight,

"Who are subjected to this disci-pline?"

"Short term men, usually, for they don't care. The life, or long term, con-victs are the best behaved, because they have some hope of get t ing out. There was one prisoner while I was there last summer—a bank Imrgiar—who stayed in the hole nine days ami leu nights— that is the limit—and then was ordered out by Ihe physioians. Yet he would not 'give in,' Most men give in in three or four days. There is an old Winne-bago Indian. Seott he is committed foi murder who will e w r y once in awhi le '.brow down his tools and put on his cap and coat and say 'nr no more workee any longer, put me iu hole ' They put him in lor 2 or •'{ day - and release him on their own accounl . for he would slay until he had to bn carried out if they left him tlioro.

"Vou don't propose to get in iho way of being sent lo thepouilenliary again?''

"No. sir. Once in a life tinio is often enough?"

Tho released convict comes i.ui of pris-; on in good health and mu-e!e, mid pro-

poses to go back East and lake a new : start in life.

Popular Errors Corrected. The Iron Ago corrocls some popular

impressions ivspoeting distances travers-ed by vessels at sea. Tho "knot" and lb • "mile" are terms often used inter-changeable, but orroneously so. The fact is that a mile is loss than per cent of a knot. Three and one-half miles are equal, within a very small fraction, to three knots. The knot w G,08'i.GG foot in length. The statuto mile is 5,-280 feet. The result of this difleroiico is that the speed in miles per hour is al-ways considerably larger than when stated in knots, and if a person forgets this and states a snood as so manv knots when il was really so many miles, ho may be given l igufcs verging on tho in-credible. When we hear parlies say that such a vessel is capable of making twenty knots per hour, wo usually take the statement with a very largo gr.*in of salt, for twenty knots is 23-04 miles per hour, a speed which very few vessels

nly K I

| ued wl have made, and il is doubled by some who have the best opportunity for mak-ing actual moasuroments whether any vessel has ever made twenty-live miles in sixty minutes. It has boon said that some of the English torpedo boats have made as high as twenty-four or iwenly-tive knots. Twenty-four knots arc over twenty-soveii and a half miles per hour, and twenty-live knots arc upward of twentr-eight and l lm^-qiiBrlfr wiUtti an hour, distances thai are mcrediblc.

The "lind" of old gold coins lately made in Paris by two laborers engaged in the demolition of the house once oc-cimiod by Marshal d'Elllat was a piece of luck for which the collectors are as grateful as tho linders. Tho inlrinsie value of tho coins, s imply as bullion, is 108.000 francs. According to tho French law of Ireasure-trove tho linders were entitled to a half-share, and they eleeted lo lake il in current coin by weight. They thus become the possess-ors of about $10,000. Tho coins are be-ing catalogued for sain by public auc-tion. There are nearly 8.000 pieces in all, and they inoludo coins of Jean lo bon, Charles V, ,Gui l laumo do la Garde. Joanne.de Naples, Louis I,, Compto do Provence, and others erf equal interest and rarity. Onr coin in particular, of Guillaumo do JiiMuregard, is said to bo unique of its kind,

—«-• » How a Man Bliw Jlis Head Off With Wa*

ter. At the inquest held upon tho body of

Felix Everarls. tho tailor, the jury ren-dered a verdict of suicide. A theory as to the direct agent of the su i c ideandone of which meets with general belief is that Everarls loaded the pistol which h o u s e d with a heavy charge of powder, and up-on it poured in a charge of water, the two charges being separated by a thick wad. To tills powerful auxiliary only can tho terrible mutilation of tho sui-cide's head be ascribed, A better opin-ion of tho force of tho water can be formed when it is stated that the entire crown of tho man's skull was found fifty feet distant from tho spot where ho fell and pieces of tho skull were never dis-covered. Besides, it was shown on ox-amination at the morgue that the dead man's skull was more than a quarter of an inch thick. It is stated that Everarta has three grown dai ghters on the N o w York stage.

Special attention has this season boon observed in the artistic construction of toilets intonded for homo wear and for the various social entertainments, such as hinchos and teas, from which pcnllo-inen aro gonerally oxchulod.

The overgarment is of foulard silk, with rich cream ground, covered with biight-hncd. variegated flowers. It is made in the watteaii style, witli full plait in the back, which forms the graeefid drapery, while the front is slightly pointed. Tlie collar is in coat-shape. turned down, and the sleeve is Unlshed with a gauged ami frilled cufT. This graceful overdress can also be mado of satin or velvet,

An elegant toa gown is a combina-tion of copper-colored plush, Salmon-pink satin, and i-ream lace. The drap-ery is short on one sido, is caught up with a satin bow far baek on one hip, letting the plusii fall partly over tho satin, while the satin falls over Ihe lace; and on the other side the satin is ar-ranged in perpendicular plaits, which, meet Iho plain fall ing plush. The waist-coal of cream lace half conceals the satin and is caught logethor with satin : bows. The pelticoat front is of satin, covered with lace and trimmed with 1

portrait ol the great man as lie appeared while doing his family marketing.

The next morning, after one of his wonderful speeches in tho Senate Cham-ber. Mr. Webster might have been seen in tho old "Marsh Market' l al an early hour, for he was no sluggard. With him was a servant carrying a huge mar-ket-basket. and ho would g o from stall to stall, often stopping lo chat with a butcher, or a fish-monger, or a huck-ster. and del ight ing them with tho knowledge ho displayed about meats, lisb and vegetables.

Selecting with caro a supply of pro-visi6iis for two days, as tho market was only held on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays, Mr, Webster would return to his house, next tho Unitarian church, and see that the meat was properly lied up and the vegetables put away. On his way lo the Capitol, or there (if his table was not already full), he would meet a friend and say:

"Come and drtio with mo to-day. I have a noble haunch of venison which I bought a fortnight since, and have kept hanging until it is exactly lit lo bo oat-e n , o r "1 have received a lino salmon from the Kennebec; come to-day and help mo eat it."

Every spring ho would join tho Sat-urday parlies of congressmen and of-ficials who used to go down tho Polo-mac on tho old steamer Salem to Iho fishing-grounds and enjoy freshly caught shad, opened, nailed on oaken boards, and cooked before largo wood-lires. On ono of theso occasions Mr. Webster had obtained from Hostonsomo rock cod, crackers and salt pork, and ho made a chowder. Ho had a largo

the trench and remained there as long , . as ho could. Tho bugler of his compa- j 111 8 0 1 1 1 0 cases, as many as t.urly mes-nv, a malicious urchin, soon found this ' G|J.£0S ^ ''^y a r o sent both ways. A firm

of both names would thus save ncarlv out. and was constantly in Ihe habit of playing tricks lo frighten his cautious , comrade. l i e would poop over tho par- | apot and call out, "A shot!" and then ' turn around to sec his friend roll him- ' self together like a ball. At oilier times he would call out. "A si. il!" of which he know the man had a mortal dread; and when ho saw hini throw hine elf \ flat on tho ground, he would take a . piece of earth or a stone and throw i t ; close 'o his recumbent friend's head, i

8100 a day. Another object is lo secure tho utmost corlainty of prompt deliv-ery.

Much money is also saved in tele-graphing. not only by cable but by Kind lines, in the use of cedes. All Ihe leading branches of business have these codes by means of which long mes-:'agoH may bo sont by the use of a few words.

Four hundred Harvard professors and students formed a co-operalivo society nine months ago. and opened a store, where books, sporting articles, station-ery. fuel, piclurcs and clolhing were either kept in slock or sold by sample. The price of everything was live per cent, above wholesale cost and members could buy. but on no other terms than cash down. They also paid a year. Tlie experiment has thus far been high-ly satisfactory, and no reason for fail-ure in the future is apparent. There is no capital at risk, tho live per ccnt, and yearly dues cover Iho expenses, and llio "members, now increased lo o.'HI. get tbeir supplies al an average of twi nty per cent, less than they would havo to nay elsewhere. A novel branch of tho Imsiness is tho sale of second-hand books and furniture, by which studonis g e l pay for their iiscarded things, in-stead of throwing them away.

It is inleresting lo nolo the possibility of a romantic episode at some fuluro day arising out of a circumstanco that is akin to tho motive of many a drama-tic scone in both fiction and real life.— William Black, tho British novelist, is occasionally addressed, in an old lady's handwrilinir. as "William Black, alias MacVean, Esq,, Reform club, London," These lotlors upbraid him for his ingrat-itude and want of proper alTeciion in refusing to acknowledge himself her nephew who was mourned by her as drowned at sea. She, however, hap-1 poued to read "A Daughter of Heth." ! and sho declares that this story con-1 tains family revelations that could only ; have been known lo herself and her ! nephew, and could only have been written by her nephew. A year or two ago Illack called upon her in the high- j lands, l i e found her a respectable and i fairly educated old lady. As soon a.s ] she knew he had called in answer to hor ; letters, and that ho was Will iam Black, she professed to recognize him as her I nephew, and ofTeml to got him a watch , and some jewelry, which she said had belonged to his mother, and which were at Skyo, It was in vain that on tho score of age ho pointed out that her idenlilicalion of him inusl bo a mistake. Her niece coming into the room. Black, in telling me story, said: "I felt that now 1 should l-o able lo put mailers straight. If I was tho nephew, this w.is my sister." 'Surely,1 I said, 'you can not think 1 am your brolhor: ho must have been 8 or 0 years younger than 1 am, and see my hair is 1 • J i i n i n g lo turn gray,' 'Ah. but. 'she replied, T've know n y o u n g men turn gray al a very early ago.' This selilod me. and I boil-ed. 1 foil thai if the entire family had concluded to claim mo for tho dead nephew, I had boiler jrol out of lho place (pii.-kly, and I did." This incidenl is none iho h^s mii-ious that il begun before tlie Tielibotne case, and is

' still kept til) by upbraiding loiters from Mrs, M a o N c a n . -Ildrptr's Mtijdzinc.

Playing Obesa with a Thug. Tho announcement that a clergyman

in tho north of England is about lo play a game of chess on his lawn with living pieces supplied from the children of his parish, recalls ono of the most nmusing of the "Contes Eeceutriques" of Adrion Robert, Tho Thugs, according to tho French writer, who wished to have it all their own way in India, hav ingmade live attempts to stab, poison, and blow up the governor of the East India com-pany. allribuled their want of success to a"talisman in Ihe shape of his gray felt hat. unknown till then in India. His passion was chess, and it was deter-mined by tbe chief of tho sect to chal-lenge him at that game. The slake was the governor's bat on ono side and tho surrender of the ringleaders of the Thugs on the other. On tho plains of Barrackpore a chess-board one hundred yards square was marked out. There were elephants for the castles, nnd knights in armor and living pawns. The governor's men were supplied at £ 2 5 apioco by his rival. The gamn lasted all day, for all the pieces were killed as they were taken. Just CM tho T h u g queen was in danger, haring mk-en the white queen, tho imperlurbablo governor adjonrned to lanch wbera ho stayed two hours. His r iv f j nao in anguish, for the queen was hia own wife. On tho return of Iho goreruor Ihe white king advanced lo lake Iter, but the maguauimity trf ili« KnglUh-man stepped in, and bo took her pria-onor. This generosity so demoralized his opponent that in a few more moves tho game was over, the conspirators handed over to the mercies of John Company, and India saved from perish-i n g . — I ' M Mull U(i:i.Uc.

In his artielo ou "The Present Stalo of t h e A r m y , " in t h e Nindciuth Centu-

ry, Maj, (leu. Sir Frederick Roberts, speaking of tho rapidity with which, after tho ago of 111 or 32 years, the pri-vate soldier becomes a veteran in looks and habits, while tho otlicers, commis-sioned or uon-cummissioiied, are still young men, says: "This early decay is, in Iho opinion of many, caused by sentry duty ," Ho further urges that soldiers should be spared "sentry-go" a.s much as possible, as tho excessivo night duty it at present imposes on them is destructive of health and vigor. This perpetual mounting guard al royal

! palaces, public olliees, and oilier places is a relic of the olden time. It is prob-ably kept up rather as a traditional cus-tom than from any opinion in its favor. So far as il has any meaning or use, il is n police duty which llio civil force would discharge more ellicieutly and at

1 much less cost lo the public service, j That it imparis a kind of dignity lo tho j place thus specially guarded is a moro I tradilion. and is in no case any com-

MR. C. P. BniCHna writes from Kirby, ().. July 3, lbS2 : " l.ait fall my hair coinnienced falling out, and In a Bliort time I became licarly bald, I used part Of n bottio of AVER'S H A I R Vtaon. which stopped the lull-ing of the hair, anil started a new growth. I havo now a full head of hair j.-rowing vigor-ously. and am convinced tbni but for tho uno of your preparation 1 should havo been eutlrely bald."

J.W. Bowr.K. proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Emmirtr. says : " Avr.R's ll.uu Vtoon is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own oxperience. Its uso promotes tho growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. Tho Vtiioil is alco a sum euro for dandrulf. Not within my knowledge has tho preparation ever failed to giv.' entire satisfaction."

A majority of tlie court, (four in n u m -

who has been on the bench s ix teen years

and who i,-. regarded by at torney's as the

most reliable man in the court, stands

alone in rendering it d i ssent ing opinion:

his masterly presentation of the other

side of the qne.stion shows the weakness

of the position of his associates. The

amendment as passed by Ihc house and

submitted to the pempie, it is c la imcd

was not the same that tlio senate pass-

Kvory church member should mako lenntcranee it part of his dai ly religion The bottle is the deadliest foe of Christ in ottr chuivhes and our communit ies . A friend of Christ must be the enemy of the Louie. More souls are ruined by the intoxicating cup than by any single vice or error on the globe. Every pro-fessed. Christian who c ives his example to the drinking usages is a partner in tremendous havoc w h i c h those evil cus-toms produce,

O. Shtar's and it was the twenty- f i f th

anniversnry of their marriage Feb. (ith.

Their children planned lo get the pa-

their friends took possession of their

house and were hay ing a good visit when

Mr. Shear came home from Lowell , and

made it l ively for tho intruders for a

short l ime: ho look all in good part

low) then wo all waited for the arrival of his good wi fe w h o had been sent for.

She came, and w h e n she opened the

door and saw tho house full of friends

and neighbors sho could not stir or

speak for a short t ime, she soon got over

her surprise and all w e n t merry as

marriage hell. Dinner was soon a n -

nounced. A f t e r dinner Mr, J, W, Wal-

sented the presents, which consisted of a

should get someth ing wi th it, that w a s

useful and someth ing they could a l w a y s

well chosen remarks, relurned thanks
