John F. Lawrence, of Aun Arbor,has
fully determined after much timo given to a oouai deration of the matter, to
erect a new office. He intended to
build it on a lot at the corner of Fourth

says ho has decided to build it on reflection.—Adriau Press.
Every Sunday evening in front of
each of the churches just as the services aro over may bo seen a string of
boys and young' mon varying in numbers from twelve to fifty, lined up in
semi- military order for nearly half a

iioue. It is considered far more credible for a young man to call at a young
lady's homo and escort her to and from
church than to come tho "catch on':
act outside the church floors.—Dexter

Tbo Northville Kocord has observed
that right in the midst of the yell of
"•'hai-d times'* people who, on account

so poor that thoy can't take, the paper
at 2 cents a week any longer, and spend
half a day coming to town to slop it.
Then they aro so fatigued that nothing
short of six big drinks will put them

This is tho way a Stockbridge doctor
keeps his patients from getting away
from him, as related by tbe Sun:
''Thursday about noon,Dr. Avery went
dowr. on the. street to got some things
preparatory to going fishing in tho afternoon, leaving his ofgee door open.
During his absence Mrs. Suylandt and
a friend, of Munith, eutorcd, took seats
expecting the Doctor would return
shortly. Being noon tho Dr. rushed
up tho stairs and looked the outside
office, without lookiug whether some-
oue was in the ofilco or not, took his
dinner and went fishings—Courier.
If the government owned tho railroads there would be no strike. A
strike against Uncle Sam was uever
heard of.--Hastings Journal.
Yes, if the government owned the
railroads, telephones, telegraphs, etc.,
it would soon own all the people, and
the oiBce holder's brigade would bo
tho country. God help tbo poor devil
who was so unlucky as not to get government employment in such an event.
Guess the govern man I owns enough
now. Let it legislate properly for the
people, so a few persons can't own
everything.—Adrian Pres.*--.
We are informed that Conductor Eugene Daniels went into a union barber
shop in this city to get shaved. A
prominent union man followed him into the shop, informed the barber lhat
he was a conductor who took out a
train on tha C. & G. T., whereupon the
barber refused to shave Mr. Daniels.—
Battle Creek Journal. If the report is
true, that barber should ho tarred and
feathered and perched ona dunce block
for 80 days. It would then be a good
thing to make him shave Conductor
Daniels free of charge for one yeav,pro-
viding the latter didn't object to associate with such a brainless goose. It
is strange what chumps some people
make of themselves.—Bellevue Gazette.
Milan people are in great luck this
year. Besides the big turtles they are
eating from the Saline river, they
caught a bull frog the other day which
measured 19i inches from tip to tip of
tho hind legs. They barbecued him
on the spot.—Dexter Leader.
The strike has elicited a good deal
of agitation iu favor of restricting immigration of Polocks, Russians, Italians, hand-organs, monkeys, bear
shows, filth, anarchists, cholera etc.
And tho sooner they are kept at home,
the better. It is high time this nation
roused Itself to the danger which confronts it*. "Tell the oppressed of every
nation, Jubilee lasts a thousand years."
How nice this sounds in poetry, but
we want no thousand years of the kind
of jubilee we've just been having.
Better keep 'em out'.—Stockbridge

Minerva Smith is the daughter of
tho late John Gardner, of Northville,
who chbd last March leaving a "last
mil and testament," which bequeathed
to Minerva, thc princely sum of one
dollar, while to distant relatives a
handsome property was devised.
Judge Durfee could see nothing irregular in the will, and thought that
proofs of unsound mind were not sufficient to warrant disturbing the testament, and told the dollar legatee she
would have to admit it to probate, and
the matter will now have to be contested in the circuit court.—Adrian
Press.
Mr. Cramer, who runs tho Ypsilanti
ond of tho Daily Times, is a bright
racy scribe; but it is to be feared that
he neglected to wear a cabbage leaf in
his hat on the hot day when he wrote
that a colt belonging to J. A. Burtis
was on Tuesday "found dead with a
hole as large as a 7i inch hat extending completely through the body of
tho curimal downwards at a point directly behind the fore shoulders,"' and
the accounts for it on the theory that
the poor brute had been struck by a
meteor. The Argus has no wish to
pose as an alarmist, but the weather
has been extremely trying and Mr.
Carmer's friends should not, out of
delicacy, hesitate to long in getting
him hefore the probate court. Awful
sorry!   Mighty fine boy.—Argus.
UNEASY POWERS.
She Death of the Sultan, of Morocco Has
Aroused Serious Apprehensions.
Nothing for months has so seriously
aroused the apprehensions of the powers
of Europe as the death of the sultan of
Morocco the other day. The reason is
that this large country at the entrance
to the Mediterranean holds what is really the most important strategical position in the world. The power which
secured the Moorish harbor on the strait
of Gibraltar would controlthe entrance
to the sea much more completely than is
possible from ths heights of Gibraltar.
England would of course be most menaced hy any change in the control of the
Moorish territory, and it may be said
without hesitation that if Erance had
attempted to use an opportunity to gain
new rights under the changed administration, as was feared, for a day or two
after the dramatic dispatch of her fleet
to Moorish waters, she might do, war
with England would have been almost
inevitable. The progress of events,
therefore, is being watched with the
greatest anxiety throughout Europe.
No one now pretends that England
could control the entrance to the Mediterranean by means of the Gibraltar
works. The lack of a harbor tliere
makes it impossible. A diplomat' of
high authority in such matters said to
mc that, if it became expedient, England would probably offer Gibraltar to
Spain as an immense bribe to secure the
formation of an alliance for the joint
control of Tangier. Such a proposal
would be of great practical advantage
to England, although it would undoubtedly arouse a storm of sentimenal protest. Spain would naturally be eager to
accept on any reasonable terms the restoration of thc famous stronghold. The
present indications are that no immediate crisis will arise from the change
of rulers.—New York Sun's London
Letter.
"TOO RAPID" MONEY MAKING.
The Imperfect Gold Coin Bccrattso of Wliieli
a Texan IVas Imprisoned.
That was an interesting and instructive little paragraph in The Star which
told the story of a §5 goldpiece, suspected of heing counterfeit, which was
sent to the director of the mint hy a
special inspector of customs at El Paso.
The piece was defective, and upon its
appearance a man was arrested at El
Paso and charged with the circulation
of counterfeit coin.
"Director Preston," says The Star's
report, "observed that the coin lacked
sonority, and from its general appearance suspected that, owing to too rapid
rolling of the gold strips preparatory to
cutting the plauchettes, an air bubble or
blister was formed just at the spot in
the strip from which the coin was cut"
Yery little investigation showed the
diagnosis of the director to be correct,
and it was then stated that "these slight
imperfections occur occasionally, espe-*
cially when the strips are rolled rapidly.."
The explanation will doubtless be regarded as perfectly satisfactory by
thoughtless folk* and will he greeted
with delight by the unfortunate person
who has been held in custody at El
Paso, and who has suffered much indignity and real injury because there was
carelessness in the mawing of the coin.
The matter, however, is one o* more
than little interest, for no one knows
whose turn it will next be to he arrested
on account of the overhaste or lack of
Ekill of a government employee in one
of the mints. Why should the rolling be
done "too rapidly?" Everybody knows
all abont the extreme poverty of the government, but the republic is certainly
rich enough to make its money resemble so nearly a given standard that no
one will be jailed for attempting to put
it to legitimate use.—Washington Star.
MR. STOKES' CHARITY PATIENTS.
Men Who lived at the Hoffman. House and
Never Paid Anything For Board.
The abrupt closing of the Hoffman
House has been taken as a burning and
unprovoked insult hy a number of men
who have been living in that establishment, for a great many years, and who
are hot and loud in their denunciation
of Proprietor Stokes. It is characteristic
that this little group of Hoffman House
habitues should be particularly sharp in
their comments on Mr. Stokes' action,
because they have been known as his
"charity patients" for years.
Two of them have lived in the Hoffman House for upward of 10 years without paying a cent. Another has never
paid anything, although he is an old
Hoffman House dweller, but he has
justified his position in the estahlish-
ment by running around occasionally
and doing odd jobs for the house. Several of the others are notorious with
their ever existing lack of funds. It is
generally believed that the only way
Mr. Stokes could get them out of the
house was to take the radical move
which he decided upon early last week.-
There was nothing to he done with
the Hoffman House except to build an
entirely new structure. The main part
of the establishment is so old and rickety that it would be impossible to build
additional stories on it, and it would
have heen a waste of money to try to
improve tho existing building.—New
York Letter.
Days of Disorder.
A Madrid correspondent telegraphs
that the two or three days' interval between the death of the sultan and the
proclamation of his successor were, according to the national custom, a period
of bloody anarchy. The Moors call it
' 'the day of vengeance.'' Disorders, pillage, murder and rioting raged throughout tho laud. Eamily feuds were fought
out, individual and tribal vendettas
were savagely waged, the wealthy and
Jews were pillaged by those who during the life of the sultan had been oppressed by them, and the accumulated
rosentoents and revenge of years were
satisfied. It was practically a violent
mixture of the Old Testament jubilee
and tho Roman slave day. Crimes committed in this period are unpunished.
