upon his breed, It does for a fact.—
Ex.

mannerism and intelligent conception." kt opera house, tomorrow evening. Because of this lecture coming

Dr. Bliss of Saginaw, accompanied
by Dr. Gray went out to visit Wm,
Lower of Arthur, Wednesday, Mr.
Lower became violently insane, and it
is thot by some this mental derangement is due to religious, excitement
The man hadn't been well
physically for two or three weeks before the meeting at the Eagle school
house commenced, however, and' this
fact has lead some to believe there is
another cause for the insanity. He is
yery low at this writing and doubts
are entertained of his recovery.
A book social will be given at the
G. A. R. hall Friday evening at eight
o'clock, at which time the books purchased for the Library Association

ladies' quartet and a literary program

Some time ago Asher Teale's house
was broken into and a number of furs
taken. Suspicion rested upon John
Parks, whoRe arrest followed. The
furs were sold to O. W. Case at Far-
well. .Tuesday Parks was brought before Justice Carpenter and four witnesses gave evidence that Parks is the
man who sold Mr. Case the furs. The
identification being complete the accused was held for trial at the next
term of circuit court, and in defaults
of a $300 bail was escorted Wednesday
to the county jail'by under sheriff
Thos. Dwyer. Parks has a large family quite destitute.
"The "Coontown 400." the colored
company of barnstormers which gave
an entertainment at the opera house
last evening, had a larger audience
than the merit of the show demanded.
Id fact the show should never have
been allowed in the opera house, in
this city, neither this or any other
show which will insult the people of
the city by bandying the names of
respectable ladies, in low gags, from
the stage. The manager cf the opera
house will do himself and the city
credit, if hereafter he compels troupes
of this character to refrain from this
sort of business. Respectable shows
won't do it and when it does occur it
stamps tne company "second rate" at
once.—Mt. Pleasant Courier. The
above named "barnstormers7'appeared
tin opera house last Friday evening.
Nothing to say, brother MiHer, nothing to say.

A SECRET OF OPROIFTABLE TRAVEL.
(So About -with an Open, Receptive Mind,
and Don't Form Wrong Conclusions.
"The American is wise," writes Edward Bok, in the February Ladies'
Home Journal, "who going *o Par^s
Hi is year spends -enough time in the
French capital to-see the Exposition,
aad the beauties and spots of -fragrant
memories Which blae city unquestionably possesses, but who then leaves
Paris behind and goes into those
quaint, romantic and goneito-sleep
old Diaces with which Franee ^bounds
—ira the Balzac county, lot -example,
Where French life is still lived m the
old, delightful way. This is the
secret of profitable travel .anyw&ere:
to go about With *he 'mind open ahd
receptive: to judge ^people from the
conditions which surround them: to
get an impression of a nation notfaom
the life which floats on Che surface of
its great centres, but from its own
people living in the heart of their own
homes and in their own way. Thus
we will see the real people of the
ceuntry wherein we travel, But we
cannot truly judge the English from
what we see in London oS the French
from the.boulevards and cafes of Paris
any more than a foreigner can judge
the entire population of America
merely from the people he sees in the
city of New York."

•GOT-emor Aaron Y. JBrown of Tennessee,  was a Chesterfield for politeness add a Talleyrand for wit.    When
he,  a much-admired  widower,   was
paying Me addresses—aByetunavowed
—to an attractiye young window, he
called at her house one day and was
ushered into a room darkened to the
degree ivhich the prevailing fashion of
those days declared to be elegant, and
before the Governor had familiarized
himself with the surrounding objects
in the gloom the young widow entered
the room.  With enthusiastic deyotion
he advanced to meet her hastily, not
noticing a low stool directly  in  his
pathway; unhappily, hestumbled over
it and plumped upon his knees directly
at the feet Of the object of his affections.   Before she could utter a word
of apology or sympathy the adroit
Governor, seizing her hand, exclaimed:
"Madam,   a   happy    accident   haB
brought me where inclination   has
ong led me."   The formal declaration
which followed of course successful*,,
for such ready gallantry could not be-
resisted.—February Ladies' Home*-
