Blissfield has §1,000 to invest in a
flouring mill.
During- the recent cold snap Ann Ak-
bor grocerymen have been compelled
to keep lamps burningin the cellar to
prevent the freezing of vegetables.
Work on the new Congress street
bridge at Ypsilanti is hein'g pushed
and the contractors are hopeful of having it ready for travel in about three
weeks.
The Presbyterian society of Ypsilanti
have decided to build a new church
edifice, and a committee of twelve has
been appointed to solicit §50,000, as a
fund for the same.
The Holloway correspondent of the
Tecumseh Herald says that President
elect Grover Cleveland is negotiating
with the creamery of that place for
butter to supply the White House and
that, one shipment has already been
made. Grover seems to be posted as
to the whereabout of good things as
Michigan stands in the lead as a rule.
The Munith cor. says a young man of
that place went to see his girl and his
horse gave him the slip and went home.
There should have been two more
"slipB" given, one to the young lady
whp did not invite the horse in that
cold night, and the other to the fellow
who did not make his horse as comfortable, if not as happy as himself.—

The Ann Arbor Water Company are
pumping a million and a half of gallons
of water every day, as much as they did
last August. It takes more water to
supply the city at night than in the
daytime. The night consumption of
water in Ann Arbor is something enormous. This can arise only from the
systematic waste of water, and is probably due to the leaving.of faucets turned on at night to prevent freezing, a
practice not to be encouraged as it
materially weakens our Are protection
and makes a water famine a possibility.

Yesterday noon a nice looking young

a bundle. When near the corner of
Huron street he met two young ladies,
and all three stopped for a moment's
chat. One young }ft,$y- munched Ihe

Vanderbilt's money has been of any

Finding Lost Baggage.
It was On the Stormy division of the
C. B. and. Q. it happened, when Superintendent Dngan's jurisdiction embraced
that division. The east bound, passenger train, then-called the Cannon. Ball,
had on board five corpses, through
from Denver, in charge of the train
baggage man. It was in June, and the
weather was hot. The baggage man finding the atmosphere in the baggage car becoming undesirable moved three boxes
containing a. corpse each to the platform of his car outside, one on top of
the other.
As the train was nearing Ottumwa,
the baggage man upon looking out was
horrified to discover one of the boxes
missing. Surmising that one of the boxes
had slid off in rounding a curve, owing
to the high rate of speed the train had
been running, he wired Superintendent
Dugan immediately upon arrival of the
train at Ottumwa, apprising him of, the
loss. Dugan wired "the section foreman
at Ottumwa as follows:
"Patrick McGann—Look for corpse
lost off Cannon Ball three miles west of
Ottumwa and report condition of same
when found."
Patrick immediately started out with
the section gang, and found the box intact and brought the same to Ottumwa.
It was seldom that Patrick received orders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate superior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time to win promotion had arrived,
and after reading Dngan's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his superintendent as follows:
"Mishter Doogun—I hev found the
koropse, and the koropse was ded."
The operators expostulations were in
vain, and Patrick would permit no
change in the message, saying:
"I inusht obhey the arders of Doo-
gan."—Astoria Examiner.
America's Jfatives Described.
This description of the natives as they
appeared to the English colonists in
Maryland was written in 1663:
They are very proper tall men of person; swarthy by nature, but much more
by art; painting themselves with colours
in oyle, like a darke red, which they doe
to keep the gnatts off. As for their faces
they have other colours at times, as blew
from the nose upward and red downward; somewhat contrariwise, in great
varietie and in very gastly manner.
Thej- have no beards till they come to
he very old, and therefore draw from
each side o,f their mouthes lines to their
earesto represent a beard. Their ap-
pa:rell generally is deere skyns and some,
furre, which tjhey wear.like Ipose. man-
tel^; -and, y^etj nnde:?. this,, about their,
niiddle, all} '-women. &nd, meai, at man's,
^stayte,. were ronnde aprons of skyns,
which keeps them decently covered, so
that, without any offense to chast eyes,
we may converse with them.
All the rest of their bodies are naked,
and at times some of the youngest sort
.of both men and women have just nothing to cover them. The natural wit of
this nation is very quick and will conceive a thing very readily. They excell
in smell and taste and have far sharper
sight than we. If these people were
once Christians (as by some signs we
have reason to think nothing hinders it
hut want of language), it would be a
Tight virtuous and renowned nation.
How They Robbed the Slarquis*
In the old range cattle "boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
were a good many sharp tricks practiced in delivering cattle. It is recalled,
that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to
cut such a conspicuous figure as a revo-
lutionizer of the American meat trade,
and who later "became notorious as a
duelist, was badly sold. While in Da-
Icota he bought 10,000 head of cattle
from two Englishmen. They were first
class cattle and cost forty dollars ahead.
When these two Britons delivered the
cows they worked one of the neatest
"skin" games that was ever heard of.
Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with
table lands on each side.
Well, the Englishmen ran 5,000 head
of cattle in on the marquis and collected
for 10,000. The way they did it was by
running the same 5,000 twice around the
hill. De Mores never "tumbled" until
he had paid his §400,000 and the merry
cockneys were bound for Sonth America. It was a clear steal of !j£00,P00, but
the marquis didn't make much hones
about it. He had plenty of money and
didn't care.—Chicago Drovers' Journal,

"Yes," was the reply, "tell ns exactly

"I can only speak of my own. feelings," the old soldier said, "but as far
as the effect on ino personally goes, a
battle is like a champagne drunk."
"You mean that it is so exciting?"
the questioner asked. .
"I mean,"' was the reply, "that there
is first an intense and glorious excitement, and that after that comes a most
undignified, hnt inevitable nausea. I
was never in hattle in my life without being seasick afterward."-1::Bostont

A   FORTUNE   FOUND   IN   SOAP.
Boat a Urakcman Discovered a Swede's
Hoarded Gold.
Mi-. Buney, in conversation with a
number of travelers, told the following
story, which he says actually occurred
in his presence while en route on a Great
Northern freight train near Morris,
Minn.:
I boarded a freight train at Hancock, (he began) en route to Brecken-
ridge. There were about forty hohos on
board the "box cars. I arranged With
three brakemen to make the rounds and
see if they couldn't be made to put rip
for their ride, I acted the part of the
conductor, while the trainmen followed
out my instructions. We went from
one car to another until we had "visited
all but one. Pew failed to comply with
our request, but showed hostility, and
would doubtless have taken the advantage of our small number had I not provided myself with a gun, which.- protruded in full view from my coat pocket.
The last car we visited was partially
loaded with lime, and between the barrels we found two Swedes who handled
the American language in the most humorous manner. We informed them
they would necessarily have to pay for
their ride or get off at the next station,
to which the spokesman replied: "Vwe
don't gat no muny. Vwe bane com from
Nbrt Docota, nnd vork purty hard and
gats no muny."
"Where do you want to go?" asked
a hrakeman.
"Vwe vant tu go to Mainopolis."
"You are headed in the wrong direction," returned the brakeman.
"Val, vwe go tu Brekenridge nnd vwe
den go ast. Vwe no mane dare ho ba
gnde faller und let us rade."
The hrakeman was not satisfied with
the Swedes' statements that they were
moneyless, so they were " searched.
While the searching was going on one
of the Swedes said again:
"Vwe don't gate nu muny. Sopuse
vwe ly 'bout laddie ting like date?"
The brakeman, being satisfied that
there was no money on their persons,
was ahout to withdraw from the car
when he discovered a small bundle in
the corner of the car tied up. with a
handkerchief. The bundle was examined. A pair of old socks and several rags were tightly wrapped around
a piece of soap about three "by six inches
in size. The hrakeman said he guessed
he would take the soap anyway, as he
could use it himself. Here the Swedes
made a robust protest, saying, "No,
vwe don't vant you tu take dote sope."
"What good is the soap to. yon?" asked
the brakeman.
"Vwe yant da sope for- vash widbafur
vwa gate in Mainopolis."
"What do yon expect to do in Minneapolis?" said the brakeman.
"Vwe tank vwe ville gate leddle vork
tu dn dare, as a ba prntty gnde toun."
The hrakeman then said he would do
the^fair thing and only take half the
soap, to which the Swedes begged earnestly for him to leave the soap. The
brakeman toek the ealce over his knee
and broke it through the center, and lo!
to the amazement of all, a twenty dollar gold piece rolled out. By this time
the Swedes were nearly - -iltl, and their
ejaculations were side splitting in the
extreme.
The soap was then Gtit into bits and
$200 in gold coin, consisting of twenties,
tens and fives, taken out. The Swedes
had adopted this strange method of
safely disguising their possessions; but,
as misfortune had it, their novel idea
failed. It is needless to say that the
brakeman appropriated one of the shining pieces for his own use, to the heartrending dismay of the sons of Sweden,
and departed for the cahoose.—Fargo
Argus.    -
Dress Goods from Spirit Land.
"A conductor on the International and
Great Northern once told me a queer
story," remarked Ezra Morgan at the
Lindell. "His name was Painter, and
his run was from Galveston to Willis,
Tex. He said that shortly after his marriage he made a compact with his wife
that whichrver died first should appear
to the other. She only lived about; a
year, and shortly after her demise, while
he was sitting reading one evening, she
walked up to him and laid her hand on
his shoulder. "She talked with him a
few minutes as freely as though in the
flesh; then, picking up a pair of shears
that laid on the table, said; .'After I am
gone you may doubt that- I appeared"to
you. You may think it a dream or a
hallucination. Keep this as a souvenir,
and doubt not.' She cut a piece from
her dress, laid it on the table -and vanished. The goods resemble white silk,
but the textile experts, confess that they
do not know what it is; that if any such
goods were ever woven in an earthly
loom they .do not -know it."—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. .. - -
Chinese Officials.
In China there are two officials for
each post, in order that one may spy
upon the other, the rule being that no
official shall report what he has done,
but only what the other has done.
.'From the highest official to the lowest
all practice a system of unblushing robbery, called -squeezing." The-salary of
a viceroy in some cases is £60 a year;
he regularly draws not less than £8tQ0ft,
The salary of a judge is £40, a year-j ha
regularly draws at le^st, £?.C0Q." There
are 1.200 po^ica in. Q^nton* not one of
