—One day last week Di. II. Palmer removed from the ear of Miss Grace Wager, of Essex township, an <«t ker­nel which liad been thereover six years.

—A great many young ladies and girls are now out of employment and some who have never thought of earn­ing a living are forced for various rea­sons to seek some occupation. It is re­markable how few young women are qualified to engage in any profitable work. Girls who have spent years and much money in learning to strum pi­anos. to dab in water colors or nuuce wax flowers are often amazed and dis­appointed to learn how fruitlessly their years have been spent when they dis­cover that their supposed accomplish­ments are not of ■ character to bring them in a dollar.

Dancing was also a prominent factor of the evening’s festivities. The receipts, amounting to $5. were turned over to the school tioard to purchase books for the school.—Accompanying the proceedings of the

last meeting of the present common council, printed elsewhere in this issue, may be found the able address of I Res­ident DeWitt to that body of custo­dians of our village's interests. This is an unusual document, and in it may be readily seen the spirit of unity of action for the liest interests of our peo-

ge. Without Uiis spirit of unity in e transaction of the public’s business but little could be accomplished with profit. President DeWitt has spent

much of bis valuable time in the dis­charge of hia official duties and has done so with dignity and satisfaction to his constituency, and now retires from this prominent position with honor to himself and satisfaction to all.

On Friday evening of last week, as Joseph Cook, station agent for the D.,G. U. AM. B. R. Company at Fowler, was on his way iiome after dosing up the offloe for the night, be was ap­proached from the rear by a person and struck upon the bock of the head, evi­dently with the clinched fist. It was a strong blow, but did not have the effect of knocking Mr. Cook over, but he turned upon the fellow, who ran. and after u short pursuit succeeded in cap­turing and landing him in the Fowler village jail. The fellow gave his name as Frank Smith of G rand Rapids. He was brought here Saturday noon by Con­stable 1*01118. and arraigned before Jus­tice J. U. Collins the same afternoon. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the Detroit House of Correction for 1«0 days. .Sheriff Leland took him to De­troit the same evening and by ten o’clock tie was safely landed in the re­formatory. It Is quite evident he was after the agent's money although lie gives as his reason for making the as­sault that three years ago he was In Fowler on one of Ins trips, living a com­mon tramp, and Mr. Cook caused his arrest at that time aud he was placed in the village lock-up, since which time he has had it in for him.

In the matter of the suit for libel, tried last week in the circuit court, of Eugene Maguire against C.C. Vaughan, editor and publisher of the Clinton Re­publican. the jury rendered a verdict of no cause for action.

The case was ably managed both for the plaintiff and the defendant. Pat­terson A Flynn, of this village, and ex- Judge Smith, of Ionia.appeared for Ma­guire. and W. U. Brunson and Fedewa A Walbridge for Mr. Vaughan. It is claimed that the rulings of the court were mainly against the plaintiff's at­torneys. and now the supreme court will have to determine whether Maguire has had a fair trial or not. as It has been de­cided to appeal the case.

Gaylord slope of tho Kingston Coal company. Plymouth, l'a. Seventeen 1 men were entombed. Rescuers went promptly to work, but there is little ' hope of getting the men out alive.

The Gaylord mine or slope ha* been considered an ill-fated colliery for more than a year past. Only a month ago there wo* an extensive oave-in of the ' surface, which weakened the roof of ! the whole mine. Ho far as can he learned the accident was caused by a I further depression of tbe surface. 1 Nearly all are married men with large families. It is now believed ail the : tuen were caught in the fall and are | deadwith the entombed men, escaped his life by a hair's breadth. The fall ent him off from tbe other worker* by about two feet, making a sort of divid­ing wall between him and hi* com-

Canions. Immediately after the roof id fallen in he could bear the men

who were entombed groaning, then all waa silent.

I ain not aorry, for 1 have thus learned the truth and my nephew's real na­ture. lie ia a dishonorable fellow! Vivian, listen! Do yon want revenge for hia treatment of von? I acknowl­edge that I am burning to punish him. for he has bean guilty of a cruel wrong to you. Everybody has be­lieved that you and he would marry, until lately, when he haa devoted himself to that wax doll, Helen Daraev. Do you want revenge, Vivian?”

She glanced into hia faee, all a-trem­ble. Her eves ahono like stars. Did ahe? Would any woman in her place —oast aside, made light of—as ahe had been—wish revenge for her wrongs?

"Do I?** ahe faltered, "tell me. to I me—bow!”

lie clasped her trembling hands."Marry me!” he whispered "I am

old enough to be your father, dear; but I would be good and kind to you. and I shall not live long. When I die you will have all—all! Vivian, do you hear me?”

Nhe started and turned pale."And—Cyril?” she whispered.The old man smiled grimly."That ia my affair. 1 have su idea

Daraev place. It waa a fine property, and, being in the market, Cyril had made up hia mind that It was just the home for him. whenever he should see tit to take to himself a wife.

He waa twenty-eight, handsome, and would eventual Iv be quite a matri­monial "catch” For his uncie. Richard Clyde, was a millionaire and a b Kill el or, and Cyril was reoutad to be ids prospective heir. The old millionaire was past seventy, and made no secret of tho fact that hia nephew would aome day inherit hia fortune.

Now, that fair June morning, aa Cyril Deltnar ro.lc gavly along the

"Vea.”That was nlL The old man's face

wore a satisfied look; he bent Ills gray head and touched the girl's forehead with his lipa

"Heaven bless you, my dear.” he said Hut Vivian was not happy. She bad accepted the offer of revenge upon Cyril Delmur for hia oerfidy: ac­cepted it when thrust in her hands in thia strange way; but her heart was heavy and troubled. "Revenge is sweet,” says the old adage, but V,vtan did not find it ao.

The next morning old Richard Clydestraight smooth road which led past (**l°l* unon Mr* D.irsey and electri-Mrs. Darsev's house, he did not dream that hia fate lay iu auibuah just be­yond.

Right in front of the high-arched iron gates, ids horse took fright and threw him violently to the ground. It was just like a aoene from a novel,ao Helen Dsrsey had declared, with her big blue eyes full of delight, not at the thought of tho young man a suf­ferings, of course, but because itwaa ail like a atorv or a play. The handsome hero was carried into the Dsrsev house by two men servants, and placed upon a sofa, while Mrs. Daraev, a tall, elegant woman, dressed like a fashion plate, sent at on -e for their family phyaiciau. Arrived there, that digniiarr soon pronounced the young man's injuries painful He must hare rest and care for n week or two ;

To say that Cyril Delnur took an i unfair advantage of the situation to ■ remain an invalid an long aa (possible. ' would not be quite untrue. Who Icould bla lie him?

The dava passed and Vivian's love grew aud increased in dopth and strength, until it was her all. Mho lived for nothing elm.

In the meantime old Mr. Clyde had frequentlv c tiled upon his naphew, and saw with satisfaction that he was greatly interested in Vivian. For anin- how, oor and do pendent though ahe was. she touched the old man's heart, and he preferred that hia net hew’a choice should be Viviau Ames.

Cyril led her on and on to believe herself b-loved; he hn I said everv- fhing that a lover might say except to ask her to become hia wife, when, alt at <>nce. a ehauge catne over him. He seemed to avoid Vivian There were an mure tel—a-teles—no more tender look* and worda

Cyril was uuito recovered now, and the coveted home had lieen purchased, but though he and his uncle resided there. Cyril passed most of hia time with the Darseys.

Vivian grow thin aud rale, and there was a look of sadness in her dsrk eyes which had n.iver been there before And now to-night—the night my story o >en*—she had received the blow which broke her heart. At least, she thought that it was broken: but hearts are. fortunately, not »> eas ly crushed, or moat mortals would ho condemned to heart-break. For we all get a blow sometime; and well It la that tlte average human heart ia elastic, and springs back into plaee again, even after a heavy sorrow lias crushed down unon It.

"Mr.Clyde!” gas-ted Mrs Dsrsey, al­most unable to a.ieak—"why! this is overwhelming! I thought you would never marry, and that Cyril is—

"My heir in prospective? Ay. so he is—in case I do not marry. All men reserve the right to change their con­dition, Mrs D.irsey.'*

"Then, of course, if Del mar ia not to be your heir lie cannot marry inv daughter!” stormed Mrs. Daraey, wrathfuilr.

An odd smile touched the old man’s bearded Up Hut he said nothing.

flgns and tokens are believed to portend cither trouble or death. I know one daughter of an old Dutch house who says that always before a death in her family there is heard a step on tho stairway, going slowly from tho top of the house to the bottom and out of the front door, (ienerations of her people have heard this step, and it always presagos a death, says the Christian Intelli­gencer.

Last summer I mot a Scotch gentle­man. shrewd, long-headed and sound­ly Presbyterian. lie toid me that hi* graudmother and his mother had both always had "warnings” wbon auv untoward event was about to take place in their family history, ills grandmother was a bride, a gay young thing of seventeen, walking with a merry party In the island of Malta. Suddenly she stopped and drew back, unable to tako a forward step. - for just in her path-way a yawning gulf, or what looked so to her, had opened, and she saw the shape of a ooflin. The vision presently passed, but in duo time

| there name letters to tho sonny isle telling of a fearful storm off the Scottish coast and tho going down of a ship in which were two brothers of tho bride, both of whom wore drown­ed. Many such incidents this good man told mu whieh he believed in. but oould not oxplain.

There sat near me in churoh for some year* a cheery little partridge of a woman, buxom, brown-eyed and healthy in body and mind—the wife of u poet and hi* froquont Inspira­tion. This lady was one of those to whom visions name, and who had hallucinations which were very Tgreeablo, giving her a pleasant va­riety in Lfe. but never amounting to anything serious.

Professor Snow was another thus accompanied on the road home by visitors unseen by others, but very evident to himself. A Irlend of mine was staying at bis hous* as a guest. It was snmmer. and in a white gown the lady was sitting under a tree in the garden. Sho sat quite still for a long while, the professor inoanwhilo pacing up and down the veraadis Bjr and by she aroso.

Aunt Marjorie recalls a story late­ly tola her.

"Why, David, inau.” ho exciaitnod. "whut are you doing here? 1 thought you wore at home.” "Willie. I’m going away, and I could not go without saying good-by!*’ was tho answor. Then the vision faded, and the methodical man made aa outry in his note-book of the day. nluco and hour. and. committing him­self to (»od. closeu bis eyes.

The Democratic leader*, of the liouse have been considerably oxcen-iied of late over the disposition manifested by the ltepublicaiiH to lores them to pro­duce u quorum upon all impoitaut pro |m mil ions committed to tl»e iiotiae.— They believe tlie liepublicaua. under tlie leatlerabipof Mr. Heed, are trying to compel them to adopt the expedient resorted to iu the Hfty-ilrst .••ingress of counting u quorum. Journal Clerk

• Crulchlield. however, lias formulated a rule which will, in his opinion, accom­plish the sane eud ill a different way.

In view of the salary grab t rands it is not at all strange that his triends be­lieve Judge Newton was honestly sleet­ed a Justice of the Supreme Court by JUM] the question of adopting it as an tlie people but counted out by tlie can- amendment to the rules is now under vassiug manipulators.______ consideration.

California t«> deliver law lectures | °f his salary for one day; provided thatthis deduction shall be made in the case of a member who is absent by leave of the house.”

It is pointed out that this rule would simply carry out the provisions of ex­isting law which, according to section 40 of the revised statutes of the United States, required that for every <iay a member of the house is absent, except on account of sickness, the i»y for such be deducted from his salary.— Heretofore, however, the sergeaut-at- anus lias had no way of ascertaining in an official way who was absent. This rule will simply certify the list of ab­sentees to him only, however, upon oc­casions when absentees cause a failure of a quorum. It is believed that if tlie salaries of members were deducted when they refused to vote tlie practice of abstauining from voting upon im­portant roll calls would be speedily dis­continued. and it is very probable that the method of stopping Ibis abuse devis­ed by Mr. Crutchfield will very' shortly be adopted as one of tlie permanent rules of the house.

WHY HtlSINKsM IN KBV1V1NO,

Thk roaaons for the revival of busi­ness all over the country are apparent. In tlie first place, consumption lias tieeu going 011 while production lias ceased. Stocks have been |*ermitted to run down, until now there is u demand that must be supplied. Tlie revival was bound to tome in tlie course of nature.

Tlie quickness of the recovery is due to American elasticity aud vigor. It is due also to returning conddence and to a reasonable certainty concerning the future. It could not have come so soon were it not for the repeal of the Sherman act. It lias been bellied, too. by tlie iNUtsage of the Wilson hill through the House by a large majority. Manufacturers and merchants are thus assured of ;i moderate tariff measure, and are able to place then orders witli some certaintv as to tlie coat of good*.

Only one thing can prevent a brisk and profitable spring trade, and that is undue delay in the Senate

caused it to be announced ttiat lie lias not made a Presidential assignment to McKinley. In other words, tlie Indiana statesmen asks for an extension of time.

Tiik only hopes of the McKiuleyites are centred in Democratic Senators whom they hope to (tersuade to join them in delaying the Wilson bill. A prompt passage of the measure, con­nected witli the general resumption of business now beginning throughout the <* *ountry. would mean the death-knell of McKinley ism.

The increasing i«>wei of the money fag in politicts lias had much to do with the plainly observable lowering of the moral tone in legislation. The ,-anvans for 1'nited States Senators by millionaire canditates. whose harrels are always open to assist in the election of legislative candidates favorable to them, can not fail to iiave a most dele­terious effect upon the character of leg- 'slators. legislative candidates wiio are opeu to schemes of this kind can isiially lie depended ii|M>n to not kick

very violently al any legislative schemes involving lax-i*ayers' money, or state property, providing they can see some­thing for themselves. Then* is some­thing more than a mere sentiment in the feeling against a United States Sen­ate composed almost exclusively of mil­lionaires—it is a real danger to the re- nubile.

The Chicago clothing manufacturers, so long idle, are again busy and more than hopeful. The signs of promise in their business are Iteyoud misapprehen­sion. The demand for clothing, long suspended, is growinggreater than they can meet, in spite of the sacrifice of enormous stocks by embarrassed makers and merchants during the last few months. Their renewed activity is al­ready taxing tlie capacity of the mills to supply cloths, and calling into active service thousand* of workmen who have lieen idle for months. Aud what is true of Chicago aud the clothing

trade is true of other industrial centres and other departments of industry. The revival of business has liegun more ban hopefully. It only needs that the

‘■ienaU* shall speedily complete tlie work of tariff readjustment in order that a gaeat wave of prosperity may How over the country. 'Die sole daugei now lies in Senatorial delay ami tlie uncertainty it is capable of causing.— .V. Y. World.

;>etiiatc the system through legislation. Any measure, like tlie Wiisou lull, j calculated lo reduce tlie burden on the masses, will always iiave tlie obstacle of I a cloud of lobbyists witli command of unlimited money, ready to influence member.* ot Congress iu any way in which money can tie made available. 'Die immense lienetits to be derived by | tlie artificial stimulation of prices by a tariff will cause tlie |iarties in interest to leave no effort untried to perpetuate I a system that is as surely agaiust tlie public welfare as it is for then own.

The ini|Hirtatiou of cheat* foreign lalmr lias king lieen one of our worst curses and an effort, very weak it is true, ha* lieen made to eor- rect the error. And mm «3*mes tlie re. port that Wauamaker has lieen trying to import help from Ireland. It is true in many instances tiiat those who have lieen most loud in their McKiulev ism and professing much sympathy for tlie American workingman, have l»een the • inforemost in Hooding tlie country with cheap foreign labor, tact which goes to prove that McKinleyism is principally for the rich mom>|»ntlos and again*; true Americanism. In the vicinity or nttsburg fully one third of the popula­tion is made up of this scum of other countries, ami it will lie remetnliered that that vicinity is supposed to lie un­der very high protection. This no donht. is true as far as the monopolists

REV. DR. TALMAGE ON "THE ••LIGHT NINC OF THE SEA**

A Most Klnqoeot PUrosrss freak Job 41 : util "Its Mskstli a tokhlM Aftor Hint-*—Th» Auttwa Ko- Stoalood will, luteroat.

llnooKt.TX, Feb. IE—In the Brook­lyn tabernacle this forenoon. Rev. Dr. Talmsfri' preached an unusually at- traclive and eloquent fispel sermon to a crowded audience who listened with rapt interesL The subject was The Lightning of the Sea.” the teat selected being Job «1 ; xxxii. “lie asaketh a path to ahine after him.”

If for the next thousand yearn min* later* of religion should preach from this Bible then- will yet be texts ns- SMpoutided, and unexpiaineti. and ns- appn < :.it«-«i What little has lieen wild aasieermfig this chapter in Job from which my text is taken, bears on the eantroversy as to what was really the lev 1sti »n described us disturbing the aea What creature it was I know not. home say it was a whale. Some say it was a crocodile. My own opinion is it was a sea monster now extinct. No ereatnn- now floating in Mediterranean or Atlantic waters corresponds to Job’s description.

What most interests me is that as itmoved on through the deep it left the waters flashing und resplendent. In the words of the text: "lie inaketh a path to shine nffer him.” What was that illumined path? It was phospho- reseenee. You find it in the wake of a ship in the night, especially after rough weather. Phosphorescence ia the lightning of the sea. That this figure of speech is correct ill de­scribing its appearance I am certi­fied by an incident. After crossing the Atlantic the first time and writ­ing' from Basic, Switzerland, to an American an account of my voyage, in which nothing more fascinated me Ilian the phosphorescence in the ship's wake, I called it the lightning of the sea. Returning to my hotel 1 found a book of John Uuskin. and the first sentence my eyes fell upon was his description of phosphorescence, in which he called it ‘The Lightning of the Sea.” Down to the poatofiicc I hastened to get the manuscript. and with great labor aud some expense got possession of the magazine arti­cle and put quotation marks aronnd that one sentence, although it was as original with me as with John Kuskin. I suppose that nine-tenths of you living ao near the sea-coast have watched this marine appearance called phos- phorcseence.and I hope that the other one-tenth may some day he so happy as to witness it It is the wavesof the sea diamonded; it is the inflorescence of the billows; the waves of the sea crimsoned, as was the deep after the sea-light of Lopanto; tile waves of the sen on firr. There are times when from horizon to horizon the entire ocean seems in conflagration with thin atrungi- splendor, os it change* every moment to tamer or more dazzling color on all sides of you. You sit look­ing over the tuff rail of the yacht or ocean steamer watching and waiting to see wiiat new thing the (iod of beauty will do with the Atlantic It is the ocean in transfiguration: it is the marine world casting its gar­ments of glory in the pathway of the Almighty as be walks the deep; it is an inverted firmament with all its stars gone down with it. No pictui—can present It. for photographer's camera can not be successfully trained to catch it and before it the hand of the painter drops its pencil overawed and powerless This phosphorescence is the appearance of myriads of the ani­mal kingdom rising, fulling, playing. Hashing, living, dying. These lumi­nous animalcules for nearly one hun­dred and fifty years have been the study of nnturaiists and the fascina­tion and solemnization of all who have brain enough to think. Now. God. who puU in his Bible nothing trivial or useless, calls the attention of .lob, the greatest scientist of his day, to this phosphorescence, and as the leviathan of the deep sweeps past, points nut the fact that "tie maketli u path to shine after him.''

Is that tru<‘ of us now anti will it be true of ns when we have gone? Will there lie subsequent light nr darkness'.’ Will there lie a trail of gloom or good cheer" Can any tine between now und the next 100 years say of ns truthfully as the text says of the leviathan of the deep. ‘He maketli a path to shine after him'1** For we are moving on. While we live in the same house, and Iran ■act business in the same store, and write on the name table, and chisel in the same studio, and thresh in the same barn, and worship in the same ehurch. we are in motion and are in many respects moving on. and we arc not where we were ten years ago. nor where we will be tan yea is lienee Moving onl Look at the family record, or the almanac, or into the mirmr. ami nee if any one of yon is where v*u wen- All in motion.

Heaven moving on! The tiniverse moving on! Time moving on! Eternity moving on! Therefore, it ia absurd to think that we our­selves oan stop, as we must move with all the rrat. Are we like the craatnre of the text, making our path to ahine alter us? It may be a peculiar ques­tion. but my text suggests it What influence will we leave in this world after we tiave gone through it? '‘None.'' answer hundreds of voices, "we are not one of the immor­tals Kilty years after we are nut of the world it will be as though we •ever inhabited it.” You are wrong la saying that I pass down through

Why should they point out to us on some mountain two rivulets, one of which passes down into the rivers which pour out into the Pacific ocean aud the other rivnlet flowing down into the rivers which pass nut into the Atlantic ocean?

That is the kind of wake that a bail man leaves behind him as he plows through the occau of this life toward the vaster ocean of the great future.

Now, suppose a man seated in a cor­ner grocery, or business office among clerks, gives himself to jolly skepti­cism. lie laughs at the Bible, makes sport of the miracles, speaks of perdi­tion in jokes, and laughs at revivals as a frolic, and at the passage of a fu­neral procession, which always solemn­izes sensible people, says. "Hoys, let’s take a drink®’ Then* is in that group a young man who is making a great struggle against temptation, and pravs night and morning, and reads his Bible, aud is asking (iod for help day by day. Hut that guffaw against Christianity makes him lose his grip of sacred things and he gives up Sub­bath. and church, and morals and g«»es from bed to worse, till lie falls under dissipations, dies in u lazar house and is buried in the ]*>tter'* field. Another young man who heard that jolly skepticism made up his mind that "it makes no difference what we do or say. for we will nil come nut at last ut the right place."

With gratitude, and penitence, and worship. I mention the grundoat life that was ever lived. That »htp,of light was launched from the heavens nearly IkOO years ago. angelic hosts chanting, and from the oeleatial wharves the ship sprang into the roughest sea that ever tossed. Its billows were made up of the wrath of men and devils, llerodle and Sanhedn- tnic persecutions stirring the deep with red wrath, and ail the hurricanes of woe smote it, until on the nraks of Golgotha that life struck with a re­sound of agony that appalled the earth and the heavens. But in the wake of that life what a phosphores­cence of smiles on the oheek of souls pardoned, and lives reformed, and nations redeemed. The millennium itself is only one roll of that irradiated wave of gladness and benediction. In the sublimest of all senses it may lie said of him, "He tnakelh a path to shine after him. '

But I can not look upon that lumin­osity that follows ships witiiout real­izing how fond the Lord ia of life. That lire of the deep is life, myriads of creatures all a-swim, and a-play, und a-rornp in parks of marine lieauty laid ont. and parte mil aud rnaeated, and blossomed by omnipotence. What is

! tiie use of those creatures called bv the naturalists "crustaceans" and "oopepods." not more than one out of hundreds of billions of which are ever seen by huiiiau eye? (>od created them for the same reason that he creates flowers in places where no human foot ever makes them trem­ble. and no human uustril ever inhales their redolence, anil no human eye ever sees their charm. In the botanical world they prove that (iod loves flow-

one af the rings of Saturn. You can start one good word, one kind act, one cheerful smile, on a mission that will last until the world becomes a bonfire, und out of that blaze it will pass into tiie heavens never to halt as long as (iod lives.

There were in the seventeenth century men and women whose names you never heard of who are to-day influ­encing schools, colleges, churches, na­tions You can no more measure the j era, as in the marine world the phos-gracions results of their lifetime than you could measure the length and breadth and depth of the phosphores­cence last night following the ship of the White Star line l..<00 miles ont at sea. llotv the courage and consecra­tion of others inspires us to follow, as a general in the American army, cool amid the flying bullets, inspired a trembling soldier, who said afterward.

| '1 was nearly scared to death, but 1. saw the old man s white mustache over his shoulder, and went on." Aye. we are all following somebody, either

| in right or wrong directions. A few (lava ago I stood beside the garlanded casket of a gospel minister, and in my remarks had occasion to re­call a snowy night in a farmhouse when I was a boy. and an evangelist spending a night at ray father's house, who said something so tender and tieautiful and impressive that it led me into the kingdom of God. and de­cided my destiny for this world und the next. You will. Itefon* twenty- four hours go by. meet some man or woman with a big pack of care and trouble and you may say something to him or her that will endure until this world shall have been so far in the past that nothing but stretch of angelic memory will Is- able to realize that it ever existed at all I am not talking of remarkable men and women, but of what ordinary folks can do.

Have you any arithmetic cauabic of esti­mating the influence of our good and gracious friend who a few days ago went up to rast—George \V Childs of Philadelphia'.’ From a newspaper that waa printed for thirty years with­out one word of defamation, or scurrility, or scandal, and put­ting chief empiiaals on virtue and charity, and clean intelligence, he reaped a fortune for himself and then distributed a vast amount of it among the poor and struggling, putting his invalid and aged reporters on pensions, until his name stands everywhere for large-hearted ness and sympathy anil help anil highest style of Christian gen­tleman In an era which had in the chairs of its journalism a Horace Greeley, anil a llenrv J.

Better give up before you start the measuring of the phos­phorescence in the wake of that ship of tiie Celestial line. Who can tell the postmortem influence of a Savonarola.

phori prove that he loves life, and he loves life in play, life in brilliancy of gladness, life in.exuberance.

And so I am led to believe that lie loves our life if we fulfill our mission us fully as the phosphori fulfill theirs. The Son of God came "that we might have life, and have it more abund­antly.” But I uin glad to tell you that oer God is not the God sometimes described as a harsh critic at the head of the universe, or un infinite scold; I or a God that loves funerals better than weddings; or a (iod that prefers tears to laughter, an omnipotent Nero, a ferocious Nana Sahib; but the love- i liest being in the universe, loving flowers, and life, anil play, whether of phosphori in the wake of the Majestic, or of the human race keeping a hull- > (lay

**I always hated that woman," said Row, speaking of Suzon Michel; “a bold bud wo­man. capable of any crime."

“A creature of strong passions, no doubt,” answered Durand, "terribly capable of evil. But 1 do no; know that plie waa quite inca­pable of good. These women who fee] so •trough* are us titful as a summer thunder­storm: they will adore a inaifoue day and murder him the mixL Hut they have the pow. r to love as well as to hate; they have strength for self-sacrilicc as well as for crime."

**I do not value their love any higher than their liate." said R ae, who had never fnr- gott n her early impressions about Suzon, Revrr ceased to be j aious and susp.e oas of the woman who had dared to love Kath­leen's lover: “their hearts and tnhidsare all evil. their love i* a snare, if she Is dead, well—God give ine charity—Ut her rest iu her grave; If she is llviug. Gad grant that aim and 1 may n v r meet."

It was only a few days after the evening op n which this conversation occurred that Kathleen had startling evidence of Suzon Michel's existence in Paris, nt the very time who.i p -op e believed ner to be either dead or In exile.

Those first davs of September in ’71 wen* as sultry and thunderous os the last days of Au.’us:. Indeed, it seemed as if the snm- m> r grew h«>u< r as 1: waned. The sun shone with troj leal splendor all day, and at even­tide the almost here was thick with heat.

It was Ire ween eight and nine. Rftcr her evening watch iu a street the liarrirred'Eu- fer was over, that Kathleen went to a spot which she had visited in many a twilight hour, since she first gored upon it in tbe dim early morning on the 2Jtn of May.

This wn> the narrow side street in which ahe had see*i ti e bln««iy nitre* of her hus­band's death, at the foot of the lamppost. That dreadml spot was to her as his grave, and her coming hither had all the solemnity of a pilgrimage to a grave. The street was dab and solitary—a street of shabby homes, ahatibily occupied by ttie working classes. It was a new street winch had never attain­ed | rosperity. and three or four of tl.e homes were empty, staring at the sky with curtain less wind tw*. and lionrdsaunounciug that they were to let Here and there ap­peared a shop, but a shop which looked as If customers were the exception rather thau the rule.

On tills September evening the street was empty, save for a con pie of women stand­ing talking at n street-door, a little way from the iam|epoat by which Gaston fell. The house facing this fatal spot was empty, had been empty ever since Kathleen had known the street. The windows were cloud­ed with dint: the board announcing Its va­cancy had fallen on one side, and hung dis­consolate. The proprietor had. doubtless, abandoned ail hope of finding a tenant un­til the evII days had passed, and a now birth of prosperity had come about for this fair land of France. It was a dreary-looking bon-e in a dreary street; a now house which had grown old and shabby without ever having lieen occupied.

Kathleen walked slowly np and down the •Ire* t two or three times, coming back to the fatal spot, ami standing beside It for a few minute* with hem head and clasped hands, and lip* moving dumbly in prayer for the lieloved dead. On the last time she aaw a woman coming towards the same spot —coming as If to meet her. a woman who looked to her like a ghost. Yea, like one dead, who had come back to life purified and obaatened by the pilgrimage through tlie valley of the shadow of death.

It was Suzon Michel, but not the Huron of •hi. Tlie tire in tlie large blaek eye* was quenched, the face had lout Ita brazen bold­ness. the rich carnation of sensual vigorous beauty hod faded irntn the cheek. A pale grave face, with serious mournful eyes, looked at Kathleen, amt. reengntziug her In­stantly, blanched to the ashy whilanes* of a corpse.

The women looked at each other In si­lence, ami then cedi passed slowly upon her way. They met and parted without a Word.

Two minute* afterwards.before she reach­ed the comer of the street, Kathleen turned enddenlv. and looked baek, wanting to eposk to Huron Michel, to queetinti her. she baully knew wherefore or to what end. She thought of Hrzon with horror and do­te ration; ami yet they two bad loved the ; aa ne man: Suzon might know more of tbe d* ails of G.iston'a death than she. his wlc, bn i been able to discover. She might know In: • *vhat romuion grave bis oorpse had b< n rtung, beneath what clay hi* bonea W rc mouldering.

She turned, ami the street was empty. Tnerv was not a sign of Susan In tbe dis­tance. Had she run ever so fast she could Bo. have reached the end of tbe street. H tae« cleer. then, that ahe bad gone Into one of Ui# houses.

Hut which house? Kathleen loitered In the street fer com* time, con tern plating those dreary-looking house*, trying to divinewhich of theta and swallowed up Suzon j

Ml-liei. Presents a woman came and stood at her door on tbe opposite side of the street. Kathleen went over to her sod questioned tier, describing Msdaine Mlrliei, nud asking If she knew of such a person.

The woman waa only a lodger on ths fourth st it and had not long lived there. She workeu m a mattress manufactory a lit­tle wsv off. was out all day, and knew noth­ing of her neighbors.

Tnere was no one else In the way to me awer an inquiry. And. after all what good could come of any meeting between Kath­leen and Sutton?

“She hate* me, and 1 do not love her," thought Kathleen. “But she is straugely altered. I thought Rose was right wlieu she called her a creature altogether evil, a soul given over to wicked net*. Yet to-iught her face had a softer look; the unholy fire seemed to iiave gone ont of It, as if the face and tlie soul had been alike bleached and chastened by suffering."

Tbe days aud weeks wore on. and tlie mornings ami evenings grew brisk and cold. That curtain of sultry best was lifted; the dome of whlto-hot iron was taken off ihe city, widen no longer * reined like a caul- dion seething and bubbling over nubterruu- ean fire*. Tne white vapors of summer floated away from the streets and qua> a, from river mid woods and gardens. It was October, and the leaves were falling from the poor remnant* of tree* iu the mutilated lk»K that lovely wood which had been hewn down andoouverted into an abnt'le. Au­tumn had come, and Kathleen’* work was still uncompleted, still went on; the worker patient, secret, doxged, never for one mo­ment abandoning her purpose, never losing faith. Not till *)ie had seen every Journey­man currier in Paris would site falter or waver In her work. Then it would tie time to say. "1 have deceived myself; Serizier has left Paris;" ami then it would bo time to think of following an I Imnting him down in the place of his exile, he It far or near. In the Old World or the New. H -a or laud should be a* nothing to her iu that search— distance mid time as nothin;. .She felt as if she were the spirit of vengeance, a disem­bodied soul, free from those fetters which make humetilty feeble.

Day after day she went to her task—mo­notonous, dreary, full of wearinv-s for lutml and body; and yet she knsw not weariness. Tnat iron purpose within her buoyed her up and sustained her. Tlie spirit conquered the tlesh.

There were days when she felt 111, very ill —sick to death almost; but she thine her ill­ness aside, as if it hail been a garment that embarrassed her movements ami went out to her work, ller white face in those days evoked tliv pity of stranger*.

“A poor creature that ought to ho In the hospital rather t..a;» in the stnr-ts." thought tiie passers-by. “Net long fer this world," said one. “There i» death in that face,” said another.

Other day* there were when all her ilinhx seemed one great aching pain; yet sho crawled down the steep old -dairra**- and into the d.in morning streets; and. like an old horse wnieh begins his day stiffly and feebly, and *liufllre himself into a trot un­der the goad of the whip, she gathered up her strength for the journey, and quickened her pace as she neared her goal.

Not one day did she mis* |n all those toil­some week*. Happily there were the Sun­days, blessed intervals of respite and rest, which gave her new strength for the coming six days.

On tlirse qniet Sabbaths she rested all day long, lyiug mi her bed like a log, hardly moving hand or foot, readiug a little r.ow and then, but, for the most part, resting— only lusting—In a state of apathy, which was little more than semi-consciousness.

Again and again the Durands urged her to go out with them on the Sunday, to get fnsli air. change, a little Innocent gaiety, a

Into a wineshop on the otlier side of the street, where lie sat drinking nnd talking with another blue blouse. Kathleen stood outside in the dusk—as she had stood out­side many such a window in the course of tier evening watches—and studied tlie man’s face by tlie llghtof the ilaring candle, which stood iu front of him, us he hobnobbed with his friend.

Yes, her patience was rewanted. She liad found him—the assassin of the defenceless The man to whom tears and blood had beenaa strong wine, for whom power had meant the power to stay and to burn. This bull- dog-vlsaged workman, crooning over hla pipe, talking with bent brow ami angry eyes, this was the murderer of the Domini­cans and of Gaston Mortcinar.

She went straight to the office of tlie Com­missary of Police of tlie Quar tier dels Uare; but by this time it was ten o’clock, and too late for her to be admitted to an interview with any of the officials. She was told to return in the morning, when she could see the chief officer. She was there again when

, the office op-lied, saw Monsieur Gi tillers*, and told him her story.

The Intelligence was welcome, for Mon­sieur Grillleros, misled by erroneous intor- uiaiiob, bad already made more than thirty useless investigations hi search of Serizier. Mon*ieur Grillieres started instantly, ac­companied tiy two inspectors; but on arriv­ing at tbe Rue Galnmlc he wa* told that the lirlgiau carrier had left the night before, lie and his workmeu had moved tbo stock- in-trade—some of tiie thlugs had gone away In a van. some Iu a truck. The last truck- load had been wheeled away at midnight.

Where had he gone?Nobody knew exactly; everybody had

some suggestion to offer; the ultimate resultof which statements and oounter-stateraeiiu, assertion* and contradictions, was that tho Belgian carrier liad been heard to say that he wa* going to establish himself in the neighborhood <>f the markets.

Thither Monsieur Urillitres started 111 hot haste, and s.-arcbed every shop occupied by a currier, leather-seller, or inoroero manu­facturer, br.t to no purpose. He found no one resembi.ug Serizier among the hard- hanfiei sons of labor smelling of leather. He I»cgan to despair, when towards five o’clock in tlie afternoon, crossing a street which abutted ou the corn-market, lie saw a van standing near a door—a van full of bundles of leather, dressed skins, and car­rier's implement*. A man was unloading the van. and ■‘jurying the contents Into tho house near which the vehicle waited. Gril- lb-re* went into a shop where he saw a man who looked like the proprietor.

“You are a ctimer?" said the magistrate.“Ye*, monsieur."“1 am a police magistrate, and I must beg

you to answer my questions."“Willingly, monsieur."“How long have you lived in this part of

the town?"'•Since lost night"“Where were you before?"“Rue Galandc."“How many workmen do you omp'.oyP*‘Two; the man who is unloading the van,

and who has been with me fourteen years; the other who has been working for me only a fortnight aud who is now in iny works!io; on the third fi >or of this house."

"What is hi* name?"“Chalixny.”"Ills name Is not Chaligny," answered

Monsieur (Jnlliere*. •*He is .Serizier, aud J am here t» arrest him.”

she said. “I like to rest—only to rest—on Sundays."

8b* did not tell them that tho agony of weariness wa* sometimes so acute towards the close of the week that nothin* but thin long day of total Inertia could have enabled her In resume the round of toil. ’

“But yon never go to mass now, Kath­leen," said Rose, with gentle reprnachfu!- ness. “You used to go regularly to the dear old church yonder." with a little motion of her heed towards Notre Dame.

"Used—yes. Rut he was olive then, and I went to pray for him. Now—no. I could not kneel and pray in a church. Not vet, not yet. There is a cloud of blood that swims before my eyes when I try to look up to heaven."

October was passing. It was the middle of the month—the ltUi—and still no sign of Serizier. Her day** work wa* over, and Kathleen wa* walking slowly, with down­cast eyes and dreoptug head, along the Rue tie Galandc. in tlie dusk of evening. Nhc hml been watching for more than an hour In front of an obscure workshop at the cud of the street. Then* was a Belgian name over the dour. She had seen two men leave the house, one a workman, the otlier a roan of somewhat superior appearance, who looked like the master. Tbe workshop wa* irnall. jvoor-looktiu; and. areorriing to her knowledge of tlie trade, those two men would be In all likelihoodthccoinplctastaff. Hut she made up iter mind to go back next morning to watch Uie men going to their work, aud to make inquiries as to the num­ber employed. She never struck a work- ibop off her list until she hau made herself aiUtres* of her fact*.

.Suddenly. In the autumnal dusk, she look- id up, startled by the muling of an empty .nick over Uie rough stones of the roadway, ■die looked up. and found herself face to face wlUi a man In a ragged blouse, w I teei­ng a truck.

The man was Serizier.biie had not one moment of doubt: not a

M. Lyell says: -'During the morn­ing I noticed a tmrnlier doing Uie *nui<- thiug. In one instance no less thau four were to bo seen within a space of not more than Uiree yards, and to mnkt sure that 1 was not deceived I captured Moveral as they rose from the water and found in each case the body and lower edge of the hind wings quite wot. While in the water the fluttering ol the wings, so noticeable at other times, was suspended, and so intoat were Lh« butterflies in the enjoyment of theit colu bath that they could hardly move, oven when actually touched by tbe net. Apparently the heat ot the woatiiet drove them down to tho water, n* im­mediately upon emerging they flew up again to the hillside.*’

Your rorreapendent had the pleasure of attending the concert given at De- Witt Saturday evening under the man­agement of M. D. Clan . In spite of the stormy evening the church was well tilled: the singing was good. All did themselves credit and also credit to the instructions received from their teacher, Mr. Clary* Not being acquaint­ed with the singers from Wacouata I will not mention <|ualitlcations of anv particular singer, but will say they all did nicely and well worth the admission tee to hear them. Mr. and Mrs. lien Keys from Gunniseonville took the audience by storm as they alwavs do when they sing. Mr. Clary spoke of one very important subject. That was. ttiat every school district should liave a choir. There is without a doubt in every school district voices enough that could be trained in a short time so a choir could be formed and in caae of funerals as on many other occasions where music is required much trouble would be saved in going several miles after singers who might be otherwise engaged, at the time their services are needed.

Council Boom. St. John*. Mich., i February 19.1*04. f

Tt the Honorable ViUapr Soar*;Gentlemen: The Urn* 1* near at hand when

I lay aside my ofllclal duties and transfer my authority to another, whom I hope may be worthy of the position he may occupy. Before speaking upon the subject pertaining to my administration. I wish to extend to each and everyj member of this honorable body who have served during my term of ofiee, my sin­cere thanks for their kindness and courtesy extended me. Whatever good has been ac­complished in our undertakings Is due as much to your branch of this Council as to the position I occupy, for without your hearty support we could accomplish nothing.

In laying aside the cares of offiee, l thank the chairmen of various committee* for their hearty support and untiring energleti in exe­cuting the several problem* they have come In contact with In the past year. Without your co-operation nothing could have been undertaken, and nothing accomplished Such friends shall be held in sacred memory by ra*' for their manhood and faithfulness during the year of hardship*, litigation and financial depression. Standing at Ido before the peo­ple of this quiet tillage*, to the element* of criticism. I will soon pas* to that quiet realm where conflicts and criticism will beaming of the past, and in the future when ( look back to ray workings for the past three years, it will be with pride to think of the friend* and co-worker* who were with me in the various undertaking*. In transferring this govern­ment to another. It is my desire and wish that rack member of this Council will be true and faithful to my successor. He I* assuming an undertaking which will take his span- mo­ment* and a great deal of valuable time to accomplish the ever ready call of an undivided public. No matter what hi* party politics may be. without your support be can accomplish nothing: his hands are tied, but with your co­operation be and you can accomplish a credit and name which will speak In the future, words which are far better than riches. You have not the sufficient means to accomplish the work which you have laid out for the sea­son of 1884, but should the mean* be provided you will have a seaaon of labor which will oc­cupy much of your raluabie time, and very clear financiering, should you escape the crit­icism that may be oast upon you by an unsat­isfied people.

WATS* PLANT

Our water plant I* In a good condition at the present time, and the quality of water unaur- passed, but the income received u far from covering the expense: but when we take into consideration the trial* we have had. we can feel proud that the works are in as good pay­ing condition aa at present, they being a mere infant, but we are not at all to blame, as they were located and built before our time, but with an untried hand we will try and keep them from criticism. Should you discover bow some appliance* could be added so as to dispose of the smoke and soot, you will confer a great favor upon those living in the Imme­diate vicinity of the works, and rid them of the perplexities wluoh have been an obstacle to the works since their completion. I would strongly Impress on your minds the necessity of eoiiectlog the water rates, and would Insist that the water board be strict In enforcing the time in which such rates should be collected: The expense of conducting the plant from Feb. 1.1 MR. to Feb 1. 1884, was RJKM. The income received waa tS.444.9i. Total cost of plant to Feb. 1, 1884. including Interest on bond, was about 980,3*7,08. Number of gallons of water pumped: First year. 94171AM: second year. 31.MM44; third year. 4l.l9fi.lM: fourth year. lt.H4l.8R: January. I9S4,4SM.740, making a grand total of 18S.74SJU1 gallons. With this showing before us we oan feal proud of our present water system, although there is plenty more work to be done before we have It com­pleted. and when that time cornea. If ever It may. my ataecre wish Is that you and I may lay aside our public duties and leave these ever rest lee* problems to the ooealag genera­tion

nag DIFAltTMKNT

Our engine, hose, ladders aad ail equipment* are In good repair, and with many of the latest improvement* for the purpose of con­trolling fires, aad at the present time I think we are protected as well a* many of the larger cities, although there are more improvements being made aa tlsse goe* on. and should be watobed with an over rtuplsm eye, that they may be added to our present fire protect I on. that should we be aalled on to meet that mon­ster we may be prepared. Our fire department being a voluntary one. we nay ask or expect too much from the men who at say unexpect­ed moment may be aalled upon to piece their Uvea at the perils of that ever conquering fire, that whan case under headway a groat many dollars worth of ptoparty has been destroyed, end In leetaaees many lives loet. so do not criticise thorn too cloooly. bat praise them and present them with laurel* that the pride they have taken to build up the company may ever live, and ha trowned with a wreath of glory.

This problem Is the leading one of the day, aad many ere the hour*, yes. even days, that you. gentlemen, have spent la trytag to solve this question You have counseled sash other, you have ex peri eweed by litigation end still find you reel res surrounded by a never end. Isos fietd Which will need your very done at- raotton for time to oosne. and aa sash of you

drop from the duties imposed upon you. as three of you do at the present time with my self, do not think that we cannot lend a help­ing band in assisting our successors. and all work for publk- good. We hare in the past mason accomplished the building of the Lan­sing aad Railroad Street Sewer, Spring and State Street Sewer, also tbesewer across block 118, beside lowering a part of Ottawa Street ■ewer. We have constructed the Clark and State Street Ditch about one and oat-half miles tn length, which furnishes good surface drainage for the southern part of our village- It is my sincere wish that our future sewer­age may be handled in auch a way that criti­cism will not be allowed to enter into the de­tails In accomplishing this noble work: and to you remaining member*, who have been faithful tn the discharge of these duties. It Is ray wish that the gentlemen who succeed the retiring member* <>n this board will be men abov e reproach and ever ready to extend a helping hand to you who sit here with out­stretched arm* always ready and willing to receive any and all information which you may be able to ascertain for public good.

PUBLIC LIGHTING.This matter wr luvr had tirfore u« for some

time, bat now It is Nettled until another year. Our light* that we have arc good for the kind, constating of 38 gas lamp* and 38 gasoline lamps, but aa time roll* on great developments are made and we should keep cluer watch, and unteaa very expensive, keep thi* beautiful village *o lighted that the weary traveler will find no trouble In finding his destination a* easily by night as by day. I am in hope* that in the near future thi* village may he lighted with light* constructed by an organized com­pany or li)’ the village owning ita own plant, with tiiat light driven by the power of electric­ity that if always ready, never watting, and that make* darknr*n turn to day. and shine* and glisten* like a new cut diamond.

CITY CHARTER(iood municipal government is the ncresatty

of the present day. Without that we cannot expect to have the quirtne** prevail that doe* in some of our larger title* where thu govern­ment predominate*. Defect* in municipal government arc criticised for the lack of sys­tem rather than men. Manv a man has sacrificed hi* honor and name to gain some point in political circle* whereby Ite might replenish hi* purse, caring more for the dollar than himself or the public, while many s good man sit* In quietness who would fill (Mwition* of trust with far more honors and with more credit to bis fellow men. Dot we are but human and many an excellant official ha* sacrificed himself for political fortune. The constant change in administration is hurtful to good government, as it icing* about an endless number of office seekers always waiting to see what they can devour. Our village charter has existed many years having Iwen changed from lime to lime by our village father* to meet the requirement* of the day. Ordinance* have been added and changed, until today we have It questioned that our charter 21* like a pall without a Imttom. But upon investigation I think our friends will find some binding document* in that good charter made by our forefather* of this pleasant village, which wa* once the home of the beaver, deer and red-man. I would suggest that a com­mittee be appointed by the future board con­stating of citisens who wtali good government, and men of goad legal advice, to draw a City Charter to be presented to the next session of nor state legislature for their consideration and approval. Should you succeed tn this undertaking, you can In future years look back with pride and sec your name beside those who were the signer* of that noble charter whereby we may be known as the “City of St. Johns. ’

MISCELLANEOUS.Our assessed valuation is fil.4fiS.S10.00 of

which we have run this government the past year on a six mill tax and will turn over to our ■uccraaors about fia.aoo which will not leave them tn destitute circumstances, but in a good financial condition Perhaps sre have made some extra expense, but I think it has been the desire of all to work for the ooe point, "ecoaomy tn all" and most good for the great­est number. Oar marshall has made a good officer, keeping our streets in a quiet condition and free from filth. He may be censured, but remember, gentlemen, he cannot be in but one place at n time Our steward, while not receiv iog any large salary haa kept our rooms dean, bell rang at the proper hour, and when a chilly night at hand we were always welcomed by a pleasant fire. Our village clerk has been faithful with us and kept hi* records so that at any moment he could turn and give us such information as wr desired, never declining, but always done with a willing hand

Our attorney and health officer have given us such information aawe might ask far. so that we could guide the health and legal matter in such shape aa to eaeape the element which wr came in contact with, to the beat of nor ability And to tbeer people I extend my stacere thanks for the courtesy shown me. and should I ever be placed where I can lend a helping hand, they will receive the anr with great

Compelled to Assign.The mercantile linn of Joseph ttaitgen

& Bon, of Westphalia, this county, com­posed of Joseph Snltgen and his oldest son. John. who. for upwards of dfteeu years conducted a general store, were, on Monday last, compelled to make an assignment for the benedt of their cred­itors. to Michael Spitzlevof that village

The tlrm started with heavy indebted­ness, which by ltard work and close at tention to business, they reduced col iiderably during the drat ten yean, but owing to the depression In business, shrinkage in values and general hard times, and small profits in trade during the last four or live years, they were un able to further decrease their indebted nee. and as a consequence and ftnale. they were compelled to assign, al­though hoping to the last that they might be able to pay all their liabilities in full.

They liave a large stock of goods un­incumbered. and the creditors will share alike.

It is safe to say that there is uo man in this county who list* labored harder and more earnestly for success than lias the elder Mr. Mnitgen. anu he and his faithful son may rest assured that in their misfortune they have the fullest sympathy of a large circle of acquaint
