Rev. P. S. Shoemaker preached in
Milan last Sunday evening. It seems
prefectly in keeping with good logic
that a Shoemaker should minister to
the needs of the ''sole" and encourage
believers to wax zealous in well doing
and be faithful to the "last."—Monroe
Democrat
Pickpockets were busy at work in the
great crowd which watched the parade
this morning. Numerous small losses
are reported. Mrs. Scewartz was the
chief sufferer, having a purse containing $37 taken from her pocket. The
thief or tneives made a good job and
there is no clew.—Times.
Thieves went through Paul Suauble's
house, 4(> S. Division St., this morning
while the occupants were out watching
iho Wild West parade. They helped
themselves to jewelry, watches and
chains to the value of over §90, also to
Mr. Snauble's newest suit of clothes.
One of the theives—for there were
probably several concerned—forgot his
hat.   This is the only clue.—Times.
The silver question, which is not always thoroughly understood, brings
forth many queer speeches by these
who oppose and are in favor of it. A
gentleman who liyes less thau oue hundred miles from Hudson, heard a silver orator discussing the point of a 16
to 1 standard in an eloquent address
before a large audience, and returned
to his place ot business completely disgusted. Ue said: ''I am a democrat
find probably always will be, but this
d—d 16 to 1 is a farce. The idea Of coin
ing 16 silver dollars to 1 of gold, is- all
rot. I have no time for such trash.'—

The old subscriber—"Good morning.
Mi-. Editor. I just dropped in to leave
you fi mess of new potatoes, and tc:l
yon your paper gets better every week.
Your account of my dau,'liter's wedding was written in good style. I'll
take about S2 worth extra papers. By
the way, here's a dollar, send your paper to that son-in-law of mine in Osh-
kosb. Guess [ had better give another dollar and let you send it to my
wife's sister in Kokomo. My crops
are looking fine. Well, 1 guess I'll be
going. By the way I'm going to run
for county office this fall and want you
to say a good word for me. Of course
you can't work for nothing, so here's
§10 for—" but just then the editor
awoke.—Telegram.
A column, more or less, of the North-
ville Record is used every week by the
Northville Financial Club in the discussion of polities advocating gold
standard, sound money, etc. and "they
pay for it. Right here in connection
with this we wish to say that the columns of the Mail are open to its readers
without charge for the discussion of
any legitemate question, whether it be
politics, religion, education or anything else. We want you to feel that
this is your paper and that you have a
perfect right to ventilate your ideas
through its columns as long as they are
within the bounds of reason and propriety.—Plymouth Mail.—Them's our
sentiments to Observer readers.
A Texas paper says the third party
has added three uew planks to its platform, as follows: "The first one is a
cross between a lightning bug and a
honey bee, so that the latter can see to
woik at night; thus doubling the supply of honey and making it cheaper lo
the consumer. The second plank demands that the hog shall be crossed
Wilh the centipede, so lhat each hog
will have 100 hamsand the tn'irJ party
can have ham three times a day. The
third plank proposes to engraft tbe
strawberry upon the milkweed so that
the people can have strawberries and
cream without having to mix them.
These planks are so seductive that it
is expected that everyone will flop over
1 to the third party.
Detroit Jockey Club.
Next Tuesday The Detroit Jockey
Club will open its 17 day meeting at
Grosse Point. This meeting will with
out doubt be the most classic of 1S96 and
should fine weather favor the club
there will be larger crowds in attendance than ever before graced the beautiful track. Society will turn out in
force and the opening day when the
great International Derby will be run,
there will be seen at the track much
such a gathering as made Washington
Park Chicago when famous American
Derby was run, or at Sheepshead Bay
when beauty and fashion viewed the
classic Brooklyn handicap. Visitors
are already arriving in Detroit for the
race season andby Monday morning almost all the available hotel accomodations will be taken up. Eor the past
week stables of famous race horses,
both east and west, have been arriving
and have been given quarters on the
track until now every available stall is
occupied as well as several barns in
the vicinity of the track. The star
event of the meeting and the star turf
event of 1896, is International Derby to
he run on the opening day. This event
will bring out the best 3-year-olds, both
east and westr. as well as several Canadian horses. All the candidates have
been doing excellent work and it will
prove a battle- royal. Steeplechasing
is another bright feature of the meeting and many an exciting chase will be
seen through the field and over the
fences. The Detroit Jockey Club will
maintain the high standard of last
year and everything points to a rarelv
successful meeting.

A Norwegian Farmhouse.
Ths furniture consists of a bare table;
a sort of wooden sleeping box, 5 feet 4
inches long, filled with straw; an unvarnished wooden chair and a low bench
fixed to tlio wall round two sides of tho
room. On it are the gayly painted boxes
of the family, each member apparently
having his or her private chest bearing
the name, place of abode and date of
birth of its owner, along with somo
more or less barbaric design. On a row
of pegs placed not far from the ceiling
and extending nearly round the apartment hang the Sunday clothes of the
family, a suit to each peg, the trousers
legs dangling down, and, late on in the
dusk, looking as if some unfortunate
people had hmig themselves in a row.
There is np carpet, uo wall paper, no
lath or plaster. All is good honest
wood; above, below and all around; no
varnish, uo polish, no stain, no paint—
not even on thefurniture. No twopenny-
halfpenny inch weather boarding or
half inch match boards as we use in
England, bnt great solid planks and
boards which will stand tho wear and
tear of centuries. On the windows and
doors alone is a little paint—a kind of
White enamel. In a corner of the room
stands a very old kettledrum, and how
and why such an instrument of warfare
has a place in this peaceful dwelling is
for the time beyoud my comprehension.
Tliere are two big windows, in one of
which a pane? of glass is wanting, and
Sivert tells me that the family are greatly concerned thereat; on my account be
it ruiderstood, for much ventilation is
deemed an evil thing out here. An oval
rusty teatray is leaning against the
wall. It fits the window, so far as tops
and sides are concerned, leaving ample
room for fresh air at the corners, so the
matter is soon settled.—Chambers'
Journal.
Peculiar Baron Hlrsch.
Extreme parsimony in small matters
was allied with Baron Hirseh's mnnifi-
cence. On the occasion of a great fire at
Tokay, in Hungary, he sent his secretary to Vienna with 50,000 florins
(more than §29,000) toward the fund
for relieving the distress caused by the
fire; but he begged the secretary not to
take a fiacre at the railway station, but
from a stand near by, thus saving 8
cents. The baron could not hear "being
overcharged for anything. He was so
indignant at iiaving to pay 2 florins for
a pair of caudles at ahotel that he actually took candles with him.
The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Cailloiiette.Drnggist.Beaversville
HI., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I
owe my life. "Was taken with La Gripp e
find tried all the physicans for miles about, t
but of no avail and -was given up for loSj.
and told I conld not live. Having D •
King's New Discovery iu my store I sent
for a bottle find began its nse aud from the
first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again.
It is worth its weight in gold. We won't
