MARCH 21.

SBNATB— The chair laid before the Senatethe resolution offered by Senator Pike au-

Glimate and Intellect,

Charles Dudley Warner ln Harper's Magazine.A great deal has been said about the

efiect of climate upon intellect, and notmuch of the effect of intellect upon cli-mate, or, to be more exact, of the powerin mental activity to resist or controlclimatic influences. Borne philosophershave held that there is an occult sym-pathy between mind and u s tter, andthat a great accumulation of mind up-on one point—that is to say, the direc-tion of a strong current of desire for oragainst some operation of nature—wouldbe effective. For instance, if all thepeople in a wide district suffering underdrought should unite in a common long-ing, a sincere mental struggle, forrain, that nature would feel the subtleinfluence through all its being, and rainwould come. Unfortunately the experi-ment has never been tried, for commonconsent at any moment never has beanattained—there is always somebodywho has hay out.

But, this at least we can say, that it issafer to have the desire of the generalmind in the right direction. Now twoof the vulgar notions of this latitudeare that we need "bracing up," andthat snow is a useful product, conse-quently that the more severe cold weath-er we hava and the more snow, thebetter off we are. And peo-ple go on believing this to theirdeaths every year. As to snow, thereis a sentimental notion of its beauty aswell as of its utility. And a good dealcan be said for it from an artist pointof view. But we are not placed in thisstern world merely to indulge our sen-suousness. We are put here to makethe most of our powers, in view of ahereafter; and long life is a duty, be-sides being, in the Old Testament view,a reward of virtue. It is probably neces-sary to have snow at the poles in orderto keep the poles cool, and insure a prop-er circulation and change of air roundthe globe, just as it is necessary to keepthe equator so hot that it is as unpleas-ant to sit on it as on a kitchen stove.Snow, indeed, might do little harm ina land where the sun never shone. Butin this region, where the sun does shine,where half the winter days are clear,the only effect of the presence of snowis to fill the atmosphere with chillingmoisture, lung fever, pneumonia,and that sort of thing.

The pleasanter the weather, the moresunshino we have; with snow on theground, the worse is our condition.And yet it. is in vain to argue this withpeople. They are wedded to traditionalideas and full of prejudice, and it seemsimpossible to convince them that snowin this region is harmful. It does nogood to demonstrate to them that butfor snow we should have a royal winterclimate. On a small scale we see oc-casionally what it might be. Therewere' such days in January last Thesnow had disappeared, the shone withthe light but not tho heat (like aneleo-tric lamp) of May, and the air was pure,exhilarating, but not damp and grave-like. It would have been perfect butfor tbe chill that came down from thevast snow-lields of Canada, where coldand snow are worshipped and feted all•winter. And yet, after such experi-ence, people, convinced, go back tosnow. The ignorance of this scientificage is dicouraging.

The other vulgar notion is that ahand-to-hand struggle with extremecold for months does a person good—braces him up. It must be admittedthat up to a certain point any struggleor trial is invigorating to the moral andintellectual nature. Bnt we seewhat too much indulgence inthis leads to. The Esquimau isbut little raised above the polar bearand the seal. His whole existence isjust an effort to keep alive, \o get blub-ber and skins enough to generate andkeep in his body vital heat. He canthink of nothing else; he hasrooin for noother mental effort. We see the samething in the diaries and accounts of thepolar exploration fanatics. I t would bethe most painful reading in the world ifit were not so monotonous. Each onetells exactly the same story—the storyof his physical struggle to keepalive with the thermometer fifty de-grees below zero. Soon the mind hasno other occupation than this struggle.It almost ceases to worfc in any otherdirection. This is interesting to us atfirst as a study of the capacity of thehuman organism to resist the unre-strained attacks of nature. The expe-rience of a person who should in thislatitude, iu winter, retire to an ice-house, with a hatchet and a supply offrozen hash, a whale-oil lamp, and afur overcoat and body-bag, and sit onthe ice in the darkness, and record hisfeelings, the gradual lowering of thevital powers, the concentration of themind upon the numbness cf his legs,would doubtless have a physiolo^ioal in-terest. But the second experimenterwould not interost his readers so muchas the first with his narrative.

In Canada tbe price of mutton isusually as high as oeef, owing to thefaut that farmers there pay more atten-tion to raising superior mutton thanfarmers do here. Wool here is consid-ered of prime importance as comparedwith quality of carcass.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

For Supreme Court Judge,ALLEN B. NORSK.

For Regents of University,CHARLES It WHITMAN.

MOSES W. FIELD.

THE appointment of M. V. Montgom-ery of Lansing, to the office of commis-sioner of patents, gives universal satis-faction to the democraoy of Michigan.The office sought the man.

MALCOLM HAT, a lawyer of Pittaburg,Pa., has been appointed assistant post-master-general. This is the officer whohas the appointment of nearly fortythousand postmasters—all postmasters,indeed, whose salaries do not exceed onethousand dollars per year. There areseveral offices in this county, like Dexterand Saline, which Mr. Hay will have toact upon. These, offices are not oom-missiened for four years—like those ap-pointed by the president—and can be re-moved at any time. So we can be surethat when Mr. Hay gets fairly settleddown to business he will have his handsfull. It is not expected that the guillo-tine will get into good working order be-fore June or July, but it is to be hopedthat, in the interest of civil service re-form, a head will drop now and then be-fore that time. Democrats must be pa-tient. The country is to have the benefitof a reform of the civil service. Presi-dent Cleveland will go slow but beforethe close of his administration " nonebut democrats will be found on guard"—or on deck, to put it in another way.

THE students of Harvard have almostunanimously petitioned the faculty tobe released from the profitless bore ofattending morning "exercises" in chapelunless that attendance is desred by theirparents or guardians when the student iaunder eighteen years of age. The fac-ulty has refused this reasonable request.Attendance upon chapel is compulsory.Bachelors of arts can be excused fromGreek and need not know much Latin,but they must be on hand at chapel ifthey would secure the coveted degree.Of course the ctnpel exercises at Har-vard, as they are at any other college, area farce. Of all the college graduates inthis country not one of mature years orordinary capacity has even yet had thecheek to declare to the world that heever received any benefit, moral, spiritualor intelectual, from attending chapel"exercises." Harvard's chapel "exer-cises" cost five thosand dollars per an-num. The money might as well bethrown into Charles river. With us inAnn Arbor chapel attendance is volun-tary, showing that in this respect, as wellas in others, the young university ofMichigan is in advance of the venera-ble Harvard

SECRETARY WHITNEY, of the navy de-partment has secured the services of oneof the best accountants in the countryto investigate the books and accounts ofhis department. The same course is be-ing pursued by Mr. Manning, secretaryof the treasury, who has appointed acommission to examine the books of hudepartment. It is nearly twenty-fiv«years since these books have been over-hauled and examined by anybody butnterested parties. The country may ex-pect rich developments in due time. Sec-retary Whitney has put a stop to navaljunketing. The Talapoosa which therepublicans had fitted up at great ex-pense to transport office-holders andtheir wives, at the expense of the taxpay-ers, from one port to another, has beenbroken up and commissioned to carrymaterial from one navy yard to another.Not one month has passed since the de-mocracy came into power, and yet uselessand extravagant expenditures have beenloped off which have cost the peoplemore than one hundred thousand dollarsannually. The people will pardon thepresident for going to breakfast in hisshirt sleeves if he continues s-uch re-forms as these.

THE students of the medical schoolat Harvard are anxious that lectures up-on homeopathy be given in the regularschool, the students in this regard thusshowing themselves far more liberaland open-minded than their professors,who oppose it. The same narrow bigotryagainst homeopathy has always prevailedamong the professors in the medicalschool here. . It was predicted when thehomeopathic department was establishedthat the students of the two schoolswould be in a continual quarrel on thecampus ; on the other hand the mostfriendly relations have existed betweenthem, notwithstanding two or three pro-fesBSors have never let silp an oppor-tunity, in their classes or out, to createbetween them. It is an animosity a cu-rious and encouraging fact that there aremedical students at Harvard and at AnnArbor as well, who wish to know all thereis upon the subject of medicine, andthat the only persons who oppose thishonorable and laudable desire are theprofessors—a state of things as pitiableor contemptable as that "code of ethics"which forbids an old-school physcianfrom consulting with an intelligenthomeopath, even in case of life or death.

A COMMITTEE of the legislature has re-ported in favor of the abolition of thecontract system in our prisons. It goeswithout saying that this is a menace tothe tax-payers of the state. Under thecontract system the prisons have becomepractisally self-supporting. Under anyother system the tax-payer will have toput his hand into his pocket to help sup-port, feed and slothe the pickpockets,thieves, burglarn and murderers, who, itseems, when confined, are to prey uponsociety as well as when they were atlarge. The contract system has two ad-vantages which no other system has—itmakes the criminal self-supporting andit tends more than any other system toreform him. It is well-settled that oneof the great causes of crime is idlenessand poverty. Under the contract sys-tem the prisoner for a term of years hasan opportunity to learn a useful trade »nd

he goes out of prison a skilled luhorer, ableto secure employment at good wages, andone great motive to continue in a life ofcrime is removed. Intelligent and hon-est members of the legislature—not theignorant demagogues who are howlingagainst the contract system—shouldknow that a larger proportion of theprisoners under the contract system pur-sue honest and industious lives aftertheir discharge than prisoners employedunder any other system. Statistics provethis. Common sense ought to decide thelegislator to vote to maintain that sys-tem which has been proved to be thenearest self-sustaining and the most re-formatory—a system which at once pro-tects the tax-payer and saves the criminal.

THE power and influence of Parnelland the Irish nationalist party growsapace. Only the other day Parnell an-nounced in parliament that, in consider-ation of the Irish votes, the ministry hadagreed to change the Irish constabularyat least once in three years, a changeearnestly desired by the Irish members.Gladstone and Bright, indeed the wholeliberal party in' England, is just comingto the conclusion that the only just andsatisfactory way to deal with Ireland isto treat her as parliament has treatedScotland. For many years it has beentacitly understood that whatever theSootch members desire for Scotlandmust be granted by parliament. Whyshould not England treat Ireland in thesame fair, just and honorably way ?What Irish members desire for Ireland,within the constitution, parliamentshould grant. Ireland could then haveno grounds for complaint; hei demandfor a parliament would cease, becauMthere would be no occasion for it, andthe same friendly and harmonious rela-tions could then exist between Englandand Ireland ;is have existed nearly twocenturies between England and Scotland.The cause of Ireland is just and musteventually triumph, in some form, asevery cause must triumph which is back"ed by the public opinion of the civilizedworld.

THEBE is pending in the Michigan leg-islature a bill providing for the repre-sentation of minorities in corporations,on the cumulative plan. Every stock-holder is to have the rig'it to vote, inperson or by proxy, the number of sharesof stock owned by him for as many per-sons as there may be directors to beelected, or to cumulate such votes uponsuch candidates as he may please. Un-der this provision, with equal effort andskill on both sides, the representation inthe boaid will correspond as closely aspossible to the relative strength of dif-ferent interests. The minority will thenhave, as they have not now, the right tot>e present at meetings of the directors,to examine the books, to know what isbeing done in the company, and to beleard in opposition to any measure which:hey consider adverse to their interests.A similar provision was put in the con-stitution of Illinois i> 1870, and hasworked well ever since; was incorpor-ated in the constitutions of West Vir-srinia in 1872, Pennsylvania in 1873, andMissouri in 1875, and has been of markedservice in all those states.

This measure is opposed only on theground that it is desired by the minori-:ies in certain important corporations for:heir own defence. But this doeB notseem to be a reason for rejecting, butrather a reason for adopting it. Even inpolitical matters, the tendency of pro-jress has been toward greater defencemd recognition of the rights of minori-ties, while in a business corporation it isa well understood principle that each in-dividual stockholder has rights of whichle can not be lawfully deprived by theaction of a majority. But the defenceof those rights through the courts is atall times difficult, ccstJy and attendedwith delay, and, moreover, the injury to;hecorporation resulting from litigationand exposure of its operations is often soserious that minorities endui e great in-nstice rather than resort to such a rem-

edy. In all partB of the country thejrowing abuse of corporate powerlas become a fruitful source of financialand industrial difficulties. It is reason-able to believe that the adoption of themeasure pending in Michigan, by pre-venting such abuses, and giving minori-;iee power to protest against them inseason, and if need be to defend theirrights by timely legal proceedings, wouldprove incalculably beneficial to businessnterests and would promote the welfare

ANALYZING THE BAKING POW-DEKS.

'Royal" the only Absolutely PureBaking Powder made—Action of theNew York State Board of Health.Under the direction of the New York

3tate Board of Health, eighty-four dif-ferent kinds of baking powders, embrac-ing all the brands that could be foundfor sale in the State, were submitted toexamination, and analysis by Prof. C. P.Chandler, a member of the state board,and president of the New York Cityboard of health, assisted by Prof. Ed-ward G. Love, the well-known lateUnited States government chemist.

The official report shows that a largenumber of the powders examined weretound to contain alum or lime; many ofthem to such an extent as to render themseriously objectionable for use in thepreparation of human food.

Alum was found in twenty-nine sam-ples. This drug is employed in bakingpowders to cheapen their cost. Thepresence.of lime is attributed to the im-pure cream of tartar of commerce usedin their manufacture. Such cream oftartar was also analyzed and found tocontain lime and other impurities, insome samples to the extent of 93 per centof their entire weight.

All the baking powders of the market,with the single exception of "Royal'(not including the alum and phosphatepowders, which were long since discard-ed as unsafe or inefficient by prudenthousekeepers) are made from the impurecream of tartar of commerce, and conse-quently contain lime to a correspondingextent.

The only baking powder yet found bychemical analysis to be entirely freefrom lime and absolutely pure is the"Royal." This perfect purity resultsfrom the exclusive use of cream of tartarspecially refined and prepared by patentprocesses of the N. Y. Tartar Co., whichtotally remove the tartrate of lime andother impurities. The cost of this chem-ically pure cream of tartar is mu.hgreater than any other, and on accountof this greater cost is used in no bakingpowder but the "Royal."

Prof. Love, who made the analysis ofbaking powders for the New York statelK>ard of health, as well as for the gov-erinent, says of the purity and whole-someness of "Royal."

"I have tested a package of 'RoyalBaking Powder' which I purchased inthe open market, and find it composedof pure and wholesome ingredients. Itis a cream of tartar powder of a high de-gree of merit, and does not contain eitheralum or phosphates or any injurioussubstances.

All exchange hits the nail on the headwhen it says : " When you hear a mansneering at the local papers becanse theyaru not so big, cheap and newsy as thecity papers, you can safely bet that hedoes not squander his wealth in assistingto make them better, and that generallythe papers have done more for him thanhe has for them. The man who cannotsee tho benefit arising to a town from Itsnewspaper!', hasn't the interest of thetown at heart, and he is of about as much

i value to a town as a delinquent tax list."

A sentence containing every letter inthe English alphabet, and a favorite withwriting teachers, is: "A quick brown foxjumps over the liar dog."

An Appeal to my Friends.

Having spent all the time possible forthe last six years in writing "for Chase'sthird and last receipt book" it is nowready for the press; but as I am on mvlast $100,1 am not able to get. it out. Ineed $1,500 which would put 2,000 cop-ies on the market, (a friend havingagreed to purchase the paper for theedition, a little over $300 worth, and takehis pay out of the sales of the book.)Having tried to obtain that amount fromsome of my friends, as I supposed, andfailed, I now and in this manner appealto my friends in general, in Ann Arborand vicinity, who have from $100 to $300which they can spare for one or two years,at most, to join together and muke upthis amount, for which I will pay ten percent, annual interest. Half the princi-pal to be paid in one year, the other halfin two years if I cannot pay all in one. 1have a plan that will make everyone per-fectly safe.

Call on me at B. F. Watts jewelerystore, from 10 to 12, M., 2 to 4 and 9 p. M.,Mar. 26, 27,and 28, and report the amountyou will help me to in this emergenoy,until I make up the above named sum.

If I fail in this appeal to my businessacquaintances, I will have no alternativebut to call upon the widows and orphansof the city for 10 cent contributions, forthe book must come out.

Water-Works.

The great want to make Ann Arborthe most healthy, beautiful and desirableplace tor residence in the west, is likelyto be secured There is a good prospectof our getting Water-works the comingsummer. Responsible parties from theeast have offered to build water-worksupon the reservoir plan, the reservoir tohe 200 feet above the crossing of Mainand Huron streets, liy 14 miles of pipe,covering nearly all the streets of theoitj , and put in 100 first-class hydrants,provided the city will pay $40.00 per hy-drant per annum. The city is to havethe right to purchase the works nt anytime, aud if the price can not be agreedupon, the company will stipulate thatthe judges of our own supreme courtshall appoint three disinterested men toplace a value upon the works, and willsell to the city at that valuation. Citi-zens are to have the right to take stockin the company up to January next.

The company offers us anoiher priyi-lege which no other city in the country hat—the privilegeof placing as many hydrantsas we please on this pipe-line, and theywill furnish water for tire purposes free.Thus, when we consider t-lie greai valueof this privilege, and the fact that w«are to be charged but little more thanone-half an much as other towns pay perhydi ant—everthing to be first-class in allrespect and on a scale adapted not onlyfur present need but for future wants,it is no wonder that our citizens supportthe scheme with great uninimnityand enthusiasm. The proposition hasbeen examined by the commitee on watersupply, consisting of Judge Cooley, ex-Go v. Felch, Prof. Vaughan, ChristianEberbach find Charles E. Hiscock, andapproved. The council considered thereport Monday night and unanimouslyappointed ex-Gov. Felch, Philip Bach,Prof. Green, C. E. Miscode, Gotlieb Luickand Prof. Vaughan, to confer with theparlies making the proposition, andagree upon the details preparatory tomaking a contract.

This committee has n et the partymaking the offer to build the works, andall the details have been agreed upon.No town in this state or the country hasbeen able to secure water-works on suchfarorable terms. The special advantage*of the scheme are :

1.—It gives us the reservoir system,which experience has shown to be thebest in the world.

2 —It furnishes water for fire purposesat a little more than one-half what othertowns pay Flint and Adrian havingbuilt water-works the past year, paying$87 50 and $75 per hydrant.

3.-—Ii gives the city the right to put inextra hydrants along the fourteen mile*of pipe, water to be furnished by thecompany free for fire purposes.

4.—The city has a right to buy theworks at any time at a valuation to bettxed by three referees appointed by our>wu supreme court.

5.—It gives our citizens a right to sub-scribe for the stock of the company, if•hey so desire, up to January next, andthus keep the control of the company attiome.

With all these unusual advantages of-'ered, the city takes no risks, and do»snot put in a single dollar, nor will it haveto pay for the use of public hydrantseven, until six months or a year afterthe works are completed and in full run-ning order. The work will necessitatethe laying out, during the coming sum-mer, of at least $100,000, most of it tolaboring men. Of course such an expen-diture will stimulate every branch ofbusiness in the city.

'Tile, the Greatest Labor-SavingMachine of the Age."

To the Editor of The Chicago Trtoune.DWIOHT, 111., March 16.—One of the stronges

and mo3t convincing facts that I have yet seenwith regard to tile drainage is brought out inthe December report of the Agricultural Deparment of Illinois. It is this:

ACREAGE.

Acreage in corn in Livingston County,1881 268,59"

Acreage in corn in Logan County, 188).. 140,859

Ijvingston over Logan l'.7,738YIELD.

Yield of corn in Livingston County, 1881. .6,983,522Yield of corn in Logan County, 18S2 5,070,924

Livingston over Logan 1,803.59!In other words, Logan County has raised near

ly as much corn on 140,859 acres as Livingstoncounty has on 268,597 acres. Put it ia anotheform, the farmers in Livingston County b»v<been obliged to plow nearly double the acreageof land (26S,597), and have raised but a verysmall percentage of increase of corn over theibrethern In Logan County, who only had to plow140,859 acres. Let us give it another twist! AA farmer who has his land well tilled need onlywork eighty acres of land and grow just abouus much corn as the man who plows 160 amcakes all the risks of drouth and much besidesIt is not fair, then, to conclude that the greateslabor-saving machine to-day of the age is the tiledrain* From the same source of informationgather the following as regards the progress 0file-drainage in these two counties:

Feet.Total number of feet laid In Livingston

County up to 1861 , 1,110,793Total number of feet laid in Logan

County upto 1881 3,1)89,469This table proves beyond all theory that owing

to the free use of tile that one county has beenable tc-f>roduee nearly as much corn on 140,000acres of land as another county has producedupon 268,000 acres,which is nearly double, andthe beauty of the whole Is that it was done withhalf the work: Mr. Editor, suppose a kind Provi-dence should lengthen out the spin of our daysuntil we Raw Illinois thoroughly tile-drained,where would be put the corn that this Statewould produce, and what would we do with our"silver dollars?1' SAMUEL T.

" Where Is the baby, grandmai"The sweet young mother calls

From her work In the cosy kitchen,With Its dainty whitewashed walls.

And grandma leaves her knitting,And looks for her nil around;

But not a trace of baby dear.Can anywhere bo found.

No sound of Us merry prattle.No gleam of its sunny hair,

No patter of tiny footsteps,No elijn of It anywhere.

All through house and garden,Far out into t) e field,

They search each nook and corner,But nothing Is revealed.

And the mother'6 face grew pallid;Grandma's eyes grew dim;

The father's gone to the village;No use to lock for him.

And the baby lost 1 "Where's Rover I"The mother chanced to think

Of the oM well in the orchardWhere the cattle used to drink.

" Where's RoverS I know he'd fled her!Hover!" In vain they call,

Then hurry away to the orchard;And there by the moss Brown wall,

Close to the well, lies Rover,Holding to baby's dress;

She was leaning over the well's edgeIn perfect fearlessness!

She stretched her little trms down,But Rover held her fast

And never seemed to mird the kicksIhe tiny bare feet cast

go spitefully upon him.But wagged his tall instead,

To erect the frightened searcher?,While naughty baby said:

"Dere's 'lttle drill in the 'ater;3he'a dust as big as me,

Mamma; I want to help her out,And take her home to tea,

But Rove', he won't let me,And I den't love him. Go

Away, you naughty Rover IOh! why are you crying S J ! '

The mother li.-sed her, saying:" My darling, understand,

Hood Rover saved jour life, my dear—And, nee, he licks vour hand!

Kiss Rover." Baby struck him,Butgrandmi understood;

8hf said: "I t ' s hard to thank the friendWho thwarts us for our good."

ABBB KINNE In Baldwin's Monthly.

A Rift in The Clouds.Uodej'sLady'6Bcofr.

"Marian, dear, how is the morning,fair or cloudy P" inquired Ethel Ray,turning on the invalid couch, whereshe lay day as well as night.

Marian swept the scant curtain fromthe narrow window of their poor room.

"Dark and cloudy," she replied, thecold dreariness of the new day strikinga chill to her sensitive, heavily burden-ed heart. A tired, hopeless look sweptover her delicate, noble face, leaving aslight droop at tho corners of hermouth, a shadow in her eyes. Ethelsaw the change of expression, and for amoment hor own face grow less cheerfull and bright.

"Nevermind; there will be a rift inthe clouds by and by," she said, with arenewed hope.

"I am glad you have such faith,pet," said Marian, still looking out onthe street,

A poor beggar crept feebly alonjhis rags fluttered in the bitter win*and in pity for a lot sadder thap herown the girl lost some of her discontent. She turned from tho windewwith a brighter expression and put onher hat and cloak to start out on thatweary round of music lessons whichwere their support.

" I am sorry to leave you all day,Ethel, but it will be lato before I canget through."

"Do not fret about me, Marian, Mrs.O'Malley will come in and give mylunch and a fresh glass of water, and Ihave this beautiful laco to mend forMiss Constantine, and that magazineyou brought mo yesterday to read.6h, I shall bo fnlly occupied until youreturn."

"Well, well, it is comfortable to haveso bravo and busy a little sister at home.I think of it often when I am out, andit gives me courage," said Marian,bending over tho couch with tender,misty eyes.

The crippled girl clasped the slenderhand caressing her hair and drew itdown against her pale cheek.

"Am I a help to you, Marian? Ob,that thought makes mo happy! I liehero such a helples?, useless creature;sometimes I have feared that 1 wasonly a burden to you."

••Never think.that again, dear ono—If it were not for you "

Sho broke off, and stooping, kissedthe sweet, pale face resting on the pil-low, but when she would have movedaway, Ethel held her a moment longer.

"Marian, darling, do not lose yourfaith and hope. There will be clearsunshine after awhile, and all the darkclouds will vanish."

"I will try to think so," she replied,with a smile—a smile that vanishedthe moment sho left her sister's pres-ence, and memory began to bring upone by one tho events of the two yearsiust passed.

The girls had been left orphans atan early age, but with property sufficientto supply all they could ever need, not all gone.only of necessities, but even luxuries.Their guardian controlled and managedthe monoy, and they lived in his houseunder tho care of his good heartedmaiden sister. Ethol had always beenlam« and delicate, but Marian wer tout into the world, seeing and enjoyiDgits beauties and pleasures.

Walking swiftly along to giro herfirst music leson, she drew a sharpbreath of anguish, as memory toofaithfully recalled all the glory andhappiness of a three months' tour inEurope, with a party of friends, justbefore tho downfall of fortune. Athe very outset tbey met Mark Keller,handsome; traveled, and to the younggirl a very king among men. Hejoined tho party, and singled her outas the object of his attentions. Thoroutes they traveled ho had been overbefore and he could point out all thatwas beautiful or interesting. It was agolden season, and tho girl's heartsurrendered in spite of womanly prideand reluctance. But she had no causeto feel shame or to believe her love un-sought for. One mellow, moonlitnight in an old Italian garden hestretched out his hand to her with sud-den, passionate words of love, and soeloquently did he plead for the sweetgift of all her future life, she could notwithhold tho promise* to bo his wife.

"You shall never regret it. You shallbe happy," he cried with a lover'sconfidence.

"I am happy now," she whis-pered flushed and shy, but radiant.

They wandered long among theflowers, tooling that heaven lay aboutthem; but the noxt morning tho girlreceived bad news from home. Sheonly made out clearly that hor presencewas needed and with but one regretfulsigh for the bright dreams she hadcherished, sho began prepartions forthe long journey. KeJ' trearnestly re-quested tho privilege of accompanyingher, but she gently refused. He mustgo on with their friends, and if sheneeded him sbo could write for him tocomo

"I shall come on in a few weekswhether you send for me or not. Wemust finish this interrupted tour to-gether, Marian."

She returned homo to find theirguardian dead and their fortune gone,swept away in some ill-advised specula-tion. The maicdn lady sought a homewith relatives, and Marian Ray foundherself amoag the world's workers, andwith a helpless invalid to take care of.Helpless, did I say? Nay, she was theonly hope and comfort of poor Marian'sheart, for her handsome, wealthy lovercame not, and the letter she wrote tohim explaining their reverses of for-tunes remainedunanswered. She triedto think of him with contempt, to holdthe lovo that failed in the hour of hor

bitterest need as valueless, but sheonly succeeded in tormenting her ownfaithful, loving heart, which, in spiteof pride and reason, clung to that short,sweet romance with a hold death alonecould break.

All day she walked from houso tohouse through tho bitter cold, whilethe clouds hung dull and heavy overthe city; but when hoi- day's workended, sho started home in tho eve-ning, a strip of blue had appeared over-head. Sho lifted her eyes to it, andsaw tho clouds part wider and wider,until tho little rift had become a broadbright space across the heavens.

".Dear Ethol! Sho would rcjoise inthat and call it a happy omen, but leannot," she thought, with a tender smilothat ended in a sigh.

It was dark when she reached home,and hurrying eagerly upstairs shepushed open the door, anxious to bewith hor sister as soon as possibleThey were careful with fuel, with every-thing; necessity forced them to studyeconomy, and Marian expected to lindthe room in darkness, only a scantyhandful of coals in the grate. Shoentered to lind a glowing lire and thetable set with danties, whilo the littleteakettle steamed merrily on thehearth.

" But, Marian, ho did not. got yourletter, and he could not come when heintended, for a hurt rocoived among theAlps kept him a prisoner for severalweeks, and then ho had to search andhad just found us," said Ethel, halfraising horsolf up, the crimson firelight»iving even her pale faco a roseatotint.

Marian's face changed and her eyesmutely questioned her lover's

It is all true. Could you bohovo Iloved you so lightly?" he murmured;and this time she did not shrink backwhen ho approached, but gave him thowelcome he craved.

Tis tho rift in tho cioucb. Hopesaid it would come, and I had faith tobeliove, thank God."

Ethel fell softly back among herpillows, her delicate hands clasped, hereyes radiant.

He came on the car with hiswares, and this mean man who wastraveling with hia wife, little child ofperhaps three years, and his father-in-law, askod the price of popcorn. "Fivecents a package." That was too much.He didn't want any. After the mer-chant left the car tl.e moan man said:"I want some o' that 'ere popcorn, but1 kin git it cheaper'n that." Presentlyhe went out ou the platform and said tothe dealer in the fruit that cheers butnot inehic-briates: ''Say, mister. Isome of that popoorn, but I hain't goton'y three cents. Now, if you kinlemme have a paper of it fur three cents,all right, but I ain't give no more iurit, because I hain't got only that muchmoney." Well; after some dickering,the merchant finally let him have a pa-per of popcorn for three cents, andtho mean man camo in the car,sat down with his wife and little childand began munching his popcorn.Nover a crumb did ho offer to anybody.He was just enjoying it. He said: "Ihad enough money to buy his wholebasketful) but I knowed I could getsome for less'n tive cents." As hemunched, his father-in-law and wifeseemed to understand that they werenot in on that treat, but the child be-gan to reach up its little dimpled hands,and in the sweotest childish accents begfor some popcorn. Save to hold thepackage out of tho reach of the plead-ing little hands, the mean man paidnot the slightest attention to tho baby,but kept on eating. Presently themother spoke to him, and said the childwanted some of the corn. "Well, re-plied her husband, "if th3 child is anyhungrier'n I am an' wants this popcornmoro'n I do, he'd out to have it!" Buthe kept od eating it himself, and nevera giaiu did tho child get. Pretty scontho Jitte fellow began to cry for thecorn. This may havo annoyed thefather, because ho soon arose, put thopopcorn up in the raok, out of thechild's reach, and went into anothercar. While he was gone the child con-tinued to cry and reach after tho ban-quet, and tho mother took tho popcorndown and gave some to tho little one.While this was going on the mean mancame back. Furious? You never sawanything like it. Ho snatched tho pop-corn away from the child and pouredtorrents of abuso upon his wife for dar-ing to touch bi3 popcorn; Then ho putit back into tho rack and at intervalse;ot up and ato some of it until it was

after that he owes to his God, is thoduty ho owes to his country, and thattho man who is true to that duty, whenthat moans sacrifice of homo andfrionds, exposure to danger and death,is a man worthy of honor a', the handsof his countrymen. What idoa of thevalue of patriotic dischargo of duty isan intelligent boy likely to receivefrom the spectacle of a survivor of thogrand armies that saved tho nation,cast into tho poorhouse, the recipientof public charity?

Justico demands that the aid given toold soldiers should not bo doled out a3a charity, but given as something due,inpayment for service that can't be es-timated in dollars and cents.

The state of Michigan is abundantlyable to tako proper caro of the old vol-erans in hor bounds, such caro that thoyoung man contemplating their conditionmay say, (>I thank God I belong toa state that doe3 its duty by the heroesto whose valor tho nation owes its existence."

Mark Twain's Honeymoon-In opening his entertainment in Buf-

falo tho other evening, Mark Twainsaid:—"I notico many changes sicce Iwas a citizen of Buffalo fourteen orfifteen years ago. I miss Iho face3 ofmany of my old friends. They ha\egone to the tomb—to the gallows - totho White House. Thus far the rest ofus have escaped, but be sure our ownuin is coming. Ovor us, with awful

certainty, hangs ono or another of thesefates. 'Therefore, that wo bo secureagainst errors, tho wise among us willprepare for thoni all. This word of ad-monition may bo sufficient: let us passto choerfuller things.

"I remember one circumstance of by-gouo times with great vividness. I ar-rived here after dark on a Februaryevening in 1870 with my wife anda largo company of frieDds. whenI had been a husband buttwenty-four hours, and they put ustwo in a covered sleigh, and drove us upand down and every which way, throughall the back streets in Buffalo, until Igot ashamed, and said: 'I asked Mr.Sleo to get me a cheap boarding house.But I didn't mean that he shouldstretch economy to the going outsidethe stato to find it.' The fact was therewas a practical jokp to the fore whichI didn't know anything about, and allthis fooling around was to givo it timeto mature. My father-in-law, tho latoJarvis Langdon, whom many of youwill remember, had been clandestinelyspending a fair fortune upon ahouse and furniture in DelawareAvenue for us, and had kept his secretso well that 1 was the only person thisside of Niagara falls that hadn't foundit out. We reached the houso at last,about 10 o'clock and were introducedto a Mrs. Johnson, tho ostensible land-lady. I took a glance around and thenmy opinion of Mr. Sleo's judgment as aprovider of cheap boarding houses formon who had to work for their livingdropped to aero. I told Mrs. Johnsonthere had been an unfortunate mistake.Mr. S!ee had evidently supposed I hadmoney, whereas I only had talent,, andso, by her leave we would abide withher a week, and then she could keepmy trunk and we would hunt anotherplace. Then tho battalion of ambushedfriends and relatives burst in on us, outof closets and from behind curtains; thoproperty was delivered over to U3 andthe joke revealed, accompanied withmuch hilarity. Such jokes as these aroall too scarco in a person's life. Thatwas a really admirable joke, for thathouse was so completely equipped inevery detail—oven to house servantsand coachman—that there was nothingto do but just sit down and live in it.Well, the house isn't ours, now, butwo'vo got tho coachman yet. All thesefifteen years he has been a living andconstant reminder of that pleasant jest.He was a spruce young stripling then,with his future all before him. Heshowed himself worthy of high goodfortune and it has fallen richly to hislot, bevond his most distempomidreams; ho's got a wife and nine chil-dren now. I would not discriminate.I would not show partiality; I wish youall tho same luck.

Now in a case of this kind—and thoabove is a truthful narrative of an

Actual occurrence—is not lynch lawjustifiable? Is sot that kind of manmore valuable and useful as a fertilizerthan anything else? Isn't ho a curseto society*as long as he lives? Andmight he nol prove a blessing to themedical student and barren land whenha dies? Then why not kill him andmake a blessing of him? Tho worldhas no use for a mean man. A drunk-ard, a liar, a swearer, a thief, a tramp,a swindler, a murderer, may have somesphere of usefulness in this world, buta mean man, pure and simple—Godwasted mud when He made him.

A Michigan Soldiers' Home.Adrian Times.

Tho movement looking to building a"soldiers' homo" in this state is onethat overy loyal-hearted man and wom-an will heartily approve. Tho specta-cle of a man who fought for the preser-vation ot the government spending hislast days in a poor houso with paupersis a disgrace to the good people ofMichigan. It has occurred in the state—can be seen to-day.

Many of those who fought in tho Unionarmy have boon unablo to acquire acompetence, their business adventureshave turned out disastrously, and age,with all its ills and burdens, mado heav-ier no doubt by the exposures and pri-vations of a soldiers' life, has come up-on them, and they can no longer earnthe food and clothing necessary to keepthem alive and covered. Through nofault of theirs these old heroes havecome to this sore strait.

The question is what shall be donefor them? As matters are, tho best, in-deed the only thing possible, is to putthem in the poor houses. The soldiers'homos sustained by tho government areso full that it is simply impossible tofind lodgment and care for the worn-out veterans there. Itj doesn't seemright, it isn't right to treat these oldheroes simply as common paupers aretreated. They havo a claim to the con-sideration that the pauper has not; theyhave been called to discharge thehighest duty that can be ex-acted "of the citizen; they tenderedthemselves, their lives, all that menhold most dear in this life, that the na-tion might bo preserved against tho as-saults of those who essayed to destroy1 4 1 . mm . . . y , l v . » » , • , • (^ I , I , 1 I «i- 1 » * » • t , i * .

Hidden Treasures-Every year or so some imaginative

Bohemian of tho Washington press ro-vives tho old story of untold wealth intho form oi jewels that aro hiddenaway in tho vaults of tho Treasury De-partment. Each time the value of thetreasures is magnified, until at latost ac-counts seven or eight figures aro re-quired to express it. In point of fact,there is a quait or more df preciousstones in tho bond vault of Iho treas-urer's office, but singular as it may ap-pear, no ono can be found who hasany conception of their value.

About thirty years ago duringPierce's time some Eastern potentatewith an unpronouncable namo sent tothe President of the United States sev-eral swords heavily jeweled, a bottle ofroses and a jeweled casket. The swordsand other presents could not be receivedby tho President, Inasmuch as a clausein tho Constitution prohibits the accept-ance of gifts of this character. Eii-quetto prevented their being sent backand thoy promised to become a whiteelephant on tho government'shands. In this diloimna theywero deposited in a case in the modelroom of tho Patent Office, where theyremained for itara, until a cleverPhiladelphia thiei who camo hero forthat purpose succeeded in stealing them.After a lapse of some months tho jewolswere captured and placed in thetreasury vault for safekeeping. Herefor eight years they have remainedsealed up in bottles and hidden awayin a rough pine box out of sight and al-most forgotten except by those towhose keeping they are especially in-trusted. The custodians of the vaultdiffer widely as to the value of tho con-tents. One says the lot would be cheapat $100,000, while another thinks $1,500a stiff prieo for the whole assortment.No ono owns it, tho United Statesroallyhaving no more title to it than the Kingof the Cannibal Islands, except thatthe United States holds possession,Tho jewels aro liable any day to bestolen again, and Tresurer Wymansays tho successful thiof will probablyreap the benefits of his haul next time,as it would bo oxcoedingly doubtful ifthe ownership of this government couldbe established.

Thero is only one way in which thetreasure can be disposed of and that isby the amending the Constitution so asto allow the heirs of ex-PresidentPierce to dispose of it. The curiousvisitor to the Treasury Department in-quires for it invariably and eyes therough pino box which incloses it withlooks of wonder and awe. Sometimesthe box is handled roughly; on suchoocaoions the subtle odor of the attar ofroses fill the vault for days.

Moberly-Goleman.On Tuesday was consummated a

marriage, the details of which are in-teresting, on account of tho unusualcircumstances that ctrnonted a bondalready existing. Sovoial years ago,Mr. John M. Moborly, a mature busi-ness man, and a person of sedate andmethodical life, was smitten by thequiet charn»3 and modest graces of MissMaraio E. Coleman, then a mere girlwith long curls of beautiful brown hair.The friendship formed ripened into thedeepest devotion, and Mr. Moberly soonoccupied tho position of tho favoredsuitor of Miss Ccleman Time rolledon, and the ardent regard of tho youngpeople might never havo proved otherthan Platonic, had not good fortune vis-ited them by means of tha LouisianaStato Lottery. In a playful mood,they agreed to invest three dollars inthroe-fifths of a ticket, Miss Colemanpaying one dollar, with tho expectationof receiving one-third of the returns.Two wooks later Mr. Moberlyin whoso name the ticket was made,was startled at his desk i t the MercerNational Bank by tho intelligence thathis ticket had drawn $15,000. Ho im-mediately went to New Orleans, se-cured tho monoy, and, with a highsenso of honor, sent Miss Coleman herportion, $5,000. After two monthslonger of waiting, Iho devoted youngpeople determined to invest in a lotteryticket again; tbis timo in tho lottery ofmatrimony, in which we are fully per-suaded they will both draw prizes.

The marriage was celebrated Tues-day last at 12:80, at- the residence of thebride's father, Mr. ft, E. Coleman,where a most sumptuous feast wasserved to tho few frionds invited to attend.
