A boarder at an Eaton .Rapids hotel
has a set of fishing tackle valued at
87,000. Doubtless worth more than all
the fish in Michigan.
The citizens of Brooklyn enjoyed the
sights of an evening balloon ascension
a few nights since. The balloon was
decorated with Japanese lanterns.
Chelsea kids are among the hold
thieves. They go so far as to take valuables from carriage seats while the
driver has stepped into the house.
Ionia is looking for such.
There is a law against mutilating
United States coin, and the penalty is
a heavy fine, imprison nient, or hoth.and
the jewelers throughout the country
tire paying some attention to the law.
So far there have been hut three jewelry firms in the United States who
have been lined for defacing the same,

was lined §400.—Ex.
Wednesday as A. Bosser, a painter,
was at work on the new front in Mack
& Schmid's store he fell breaking one
large plate glass window near the entrance and went directly through another one falling" into Liberty street.
He was quite badly cut about the head
and arms. The glass was furnished by
■T. F. Schuh and cost §150. Who is to
sustain the loss is a question.—Democrat.
It is a duty, and a solemn duty, that
every parent owes to his child, to see
that that child is in school. The street
is a sfc'hool of vice and .crime; and those
educated therein soon become criminals. It is a sad fact to notice that in
spite of good free schools aud teachers,
the boon of education is passed by with
indifference. Let every child of school
age be iu school where he ought to be.

The Western Union Telegraph company has recently adopted a uow style
of telegraph blanks. The. new blank
has printing on the back. The saving
to the company through this change
will be enormous. The old time blanks,
with which every one is familiar, has a
printed heading, but the back was
clear, on which account the public became accustomed to using telegraph
blanks for memorandum paper. I have
seen men deliberately step into a telegraph office and take a pad of blanks
Off the counter to carry away for use
elsewhere and otherwise than for sending messages. Newspaper reporters
and correspondents used large quantities of the blanks for copy. It was
smooth faced paper, and the sizing was
well adapted to the use of a. pen. Hereafter the public will not he accommodated iu this respect as the rules of
the company are. printed on the backs
of all blanks, and there is no surface
for writing anything but messages.—

The oft repeated eulogies on the
charms of the bonny lasses of Scotland
are great big unmitigated thoughtless
fables, and having convinced myself on
that score I reel perfectly competent to
give reliable advice on that often asked
and never answered inquiry ending in
"Should a body kiss a body, need
a body cry." I should most emphatically say no, not by any means,
my alleged bonny lass, you have no
good cause for crying. TTis the other
party who ought to cry and his family
ought to join in the lamentation, for if
he had any intention of kissing you he
must have been either blind, drunk or
crazy. The average Scotch lass is big
enough to pull a street cat". And the
bar maids about which we have heard
so much! Ah, those dainty, neat,
light-footed bar maids of fiction! Great
Scott! but some one must have had a
tremendously prolific imagination. I
saw lots of bar maids, but they were
neither dainty, neat nor light-footed.
I entered a small wayside Inn which
consisted of part restaurant and part
saloon, or public house as they are
called here. Tlie day was very warm
and the place looked extremely inviting and cool. The restaurant part was
vacant as I entered, so making myself
at home I had time to note the neatness of the place aud particularly the
small bar, which I could get a glimpe
of in the adjoiniug compartment. Noting the tidy, comfortable appearance of
everything about me I at once jumped
to the conclusion that none but the
ideal Scotch Bar maid could possibly
preside over this haven of comfort, but
my speculations on the subject were
cut short by a shrill female voice coming from the culinary department of
the establishment and evidently belonging to some one capable of expressing
herself with more vehemence than volubility. There certainly was nothing
about her conversation that was at all
suggestive of a sweet "tempered bonny
blue eyed Scotch lassie Jane. I have
her remarks verbatim:—"Bah! you one
pig are! I you despise. Bah! If you
on I will spit iu my despise, what can
you to me do? Nothing! Hah, Hah,
Bah!" The other replied in good celt
brogue,"If *tis on myself ye arespaking
ave spitting ye mist frog ating French
divil ye, it will be meself that will leud
ye a swat that will introduce yerdhirty
face to the Uure. do ye mind!" I did
not hear the others" reply, hut took my
hat and went silently and sadly out and
dined that dayoubreadundmilkserved
by an old lady who presided over a
little shop, but who had a prodigious
eye for business, as she told me she had
a frieud who had a sister who went to
America and died there, or did not die
there, I really forget which, aud then
over-charged me four pence (eight
ceutsl on the strength of my interest iu
the information.
Scotland would be a rare good place
For the firmer who works from daylight until dark. During the month of
June the sun rises at about 3 a- ni.
and sets at 10:80 p. in., after which is an
interval of twilight lasting until 11:30
before it gets dark. Farming in Scotland and lOngland is not what it is in
America by a great big majority and
the land, much to my surprise, is not
so well tilled as it is here. Sheep and
' cat tie raising seems to be the principal
industry.
I remember a beautiful little story
with a moral to it that used to puzzle
me considerably In my, school days. It
was in the old fourth reader and may
be there yet and related to a farmer
whoso grain hart. b»on trampled down
by a gentleman's dogs. The farmer
entered claim for damages which was
promptly adjusted and which the farmer afterwards found to have been without cause for the reason that the "trampled grain eventually turned out in
good form whereupon the farmer forthwith made a refund of the gentleman's
money. It was a very beautiful little
story but I could never conceive of a,
good reason why one of the parties
should he designated as a farmer and
the other as a gentleman and reflection on that part of the story brought
me to the question: "Could not a. man
be a farmer and a gentleman too?" I
was then a farmer myself and eventually
X>ut the author of the story down as an
ass. pure and simple, without further
ado. But in England and Scotland I
found the same nicety of distinction in
actual existeuce. Pointing to a fiue
country residence I inquired the name
of the owner. "That, sir, is a gentle
imans residence"''was the reply. And"
i this other house near at hand, who
lives there may I ask? "Oh, that a
farmer's residence"' was the answer and
| theu I suicl, ah, to bo sure, and the old
j fourth reader story came up before me
and I had not a doubt but that I  was
talking to a linial descendant of its
author with the predictions of his ancestor full upon him, and so I passed
him by.
The land owners of Great Britain are
few in number and a practical demonstration of the slang.phrase of owning
the earth is exemplified in them with
a vengeance. A farmer rents his land
under an iron clad lease and pays an
exorbitant rental as his ancestors for
generations back have done before him,
but withall he must till the soil in a
certain way: he must keep his hedges
below a certain hight, that my gentleman's dogs and hunting nags may jump
them without jeopardizing their precious necks; he must foster and care
for ravenous birds, hares and game of
till sorts that will be likely to desire lo
feed off his summer's crops, and in the
event of his molesting any of these in
any shape, manner or form he will feel
the grill of the game law about him
with surprising neatness, promptness
and dispatch. All of which is intended
to promote the comfort of my gentleman, the landed proprietor, who will
have a party of friends up from London
this autumn to trample late fall crops
out of existence and have some rare
sport at shooting fat game. After I
learned all this, I readily understood
why a man cannot be a farmer and
gentleman at one and the same time in
England. No man can swear as much
as these farmers do or ought to, aud
expect to be considered a gentleman.

The Liver
When out of order, involves every organ o{
the hotly. Remedies for some other derangement are frequently taken without the least
effect, because it is the liver which is the real
source of tlie trouble, autl until that is set
right there can he no health, strength, or
comfort in any part of the system, Mercurj\
in some form, is a common speciiicior aslug^
gish liver; but a lar safer and more effective
medicine is
Ayer's Pills.
For loss of appetite, "bilious troubles, constipation, indigestion, and sick headache, these
Pills are unsurpassed.
"For a long time I was a sufferer from
stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, experiencing much difficulty in digestion, with
severe pains in the lumbar region and other
parts of the body. Having tried a variety of
remedies, including warm baths, with only
temporary relief, about three months ago I
began the use of Ayer's Pills, and my health
is so much improved that I gladly testify to
the superior merits of this medicine."—
Manoel Jorge Pereira, Porto, Portugal.
"For the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathartic Pills are the most effective medicine I
ever used."—K. K. James, Dorchester, Mass
"When I feel the need of a cathartic, I take
Ayer's Pills, aud find them to be more effective than any other pill I ever took."— Mrs.
15. C. Grubb, Burwellville, Ya.
" I have found in Ayer's FiUs, an invaluable Temedy for constipation, biliousness, and
kindred disorders, peculiar to miasmatic
localities. Taken in small and freoiient
doses, these Pills
Act Well
on the liver, restoring its natural powers, and
aiding it in throwing oft malarial poisons."
— C. F. Alston, Quitman, Texas.
"Whenever I am troubled witli constipation, or suffer from loss of appetite, Ayer's
Pills set me right again."—A. J. Kiser, Jr.,
Itoi-k House, Va.
" in 185S, by the advice Of a friend. Ihegan
tlie use of Ayer's Pills as a remedy for biliousness, constipation, high fevers, aud

ear and the horses will be decorated
and will make au exhibit worth going

From the.other advertising car,which
will be the last in the train, will be distributed, very liberallj, in the town
eu route, souvenirs of the great shipment in the form of an eleganjb, special
ly imported picture cards commemorative of the occasion; also other advertising noveities'in useful and attractive
forms. The train will not be run at
night in order that all towns may be
passed in daylight.
The drills in this are sold to dealers
in Kansas and Western Missouri, and,

which will be. set out, at different points

At 8 o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth of July a remarkable tran will
'eave the Arcade depot over the Big

It will consist of forty ears, all exactly
alike in size and color, each of a carrying capacity of 60.000. lbs. loaded with
BUCKEYE X.OM* 1!0\VH DKILLS
of all styles and siz.es, over 1,600 in
number, including pin hoe drills.sprinc
hoe drills and shoe drills of from eight
lo twenty-four shoes or hoes, some
with press wheels aud some without,
nnd rigged for from two to Six horses;
and including quite a large lot of the
combined grain and grass feed fertilizer
•hills, which the people of Kansas are
beginniug to call for. and which fiave
for years been used in the East.
This will be the largest shinment /if
drills ever sent out by any factory, and
will b» greater than the entire product
of some good-sized factories. Some
idea of its magnitude may be gathered
from the fads"that the weight of the
drills will be about 1,450,000 pounds,
their valne. at wholesale, between §80.-
000 and $90,000. and the-freight charges
between $9,000 and §10.0007
Each car will be elaborately decorated with banners, flags, anil bunting and
will be made otherwise attractive.
