On the 30th of November, 1888, the
Board of State Auditors made the fol-
lowing allowance, which was paid out Of
the treasury:

1t would seem that Gov. BlNGuAM
failed to procure the swamp land patents
for which he is represented to have visited
Washington, for, on the 2lst January,
1859, tho State Auditors made the fol-
lowing allowance, which was paid out of
the treasury:

For the record of the first above
allowance, sec report Of Board of State
Auditors for 1858, page So; and for the
record of the second allowance, see report
of the same Board for 1859, page 8.

shall not apply TO any company or ceipo-
ration that Shall have commenced work
at the time OF such alteration, amend
mcnt or repeal, until the expiration OF
thirty years from the approval Of this act.
Such was tha bill as it then lay upon
the desl-s Of the members.
Pending the motion of ordering the
same 10 third reading the word five,
in line . of section was stricken ont,
aud the word ten, inserted This mo-
ton was earnestly supported by Mr..
Barns
On motion OF Mr., Grouse, the follow
ing words were added to the end Of Sec.
4. Except so much thereof as relates
70 the bounty which may be amended
whenever the Legislature may deem cX-
pedient."
On motion Of Mr. Barns, the word
"thirty," in line 3, SEC. 4. was stricken
out and ten inserted.
After these amendments to Sec. 4, had
been made, on motion Of Mr., Conger the
entire section was stricken out
In the argument it was contended that
Sec. !, of Art. XIV Of chapter on Cor
porations, Of State Constitution, gave the
right of repeal, whether inserted or not
and that the organic law would super
cede a special Statute.
After the bill was amended so that it
should apply to individuals as well as
companies, it was ordered TO n third read
ing, and subsequently passed, with but
three negatives, viz: Mcssrs Broadhead,
Dudgeon, and Perry.
The bill that became an Act may be
found on page 55l, of Session Laws for
1889, and is as follows:
AN ACT to Encourage the Manufacture
of Salt in the State of Michigan.
Sec. l. The People of the State OF
Michigan enact. That all companies OF
corporations formed or that may be formed
for the purpose of boring for and manu-
featuring salt in this State, and any and

Sec. 2. All property, real or personal
used for the purpose mentioned in tho
first section of this act, shall be exempt
from taxation for any purpose.
Sec. 3. There shall be paid from the

PoKISa Fun AT Us. - The Boston
Journals slightly inclined to ridicule the
report Of the Liquor Inspector of this
county, which stated that in all the sam
Plies Of Michigan whisky examined, no
dclctcrious ingredients were discovered
that all articles of Irish and Scotch
whisky arc found pure, and also the Ma
laga, Madeira and Sherry wines. "Where
the Doctor found pure Madeira wines,
says the Journal, eve are at q loss to i'm
agine." In conclusion, the Journal infers
from DR.. Miller's report, "that one oil
three things must be true: either the
Doctor is poor chemist, or Michigan
people are supplied with better liquor
than other folks, or else the poisonous
character generally attributed to liquors
at the present day, on high authority
has no real foundation" -Det Ade.

A BuRLEsQuT on MoNEYED MEN.--dne
of the amusing letters purporting tecome

Evening Post, has the following Int at
the "Merchant Princes of few York;
Gle was born at Heddkton, Connect
cut in the year 1907. by the time he
was ten years old, (spA very old, indeed,
he was at that timo'of life,) he had made
one hundred and sixty-five bargains, bar
ters. and diclSes in shoe strings, peg tops
and lack kniSes, and had amassed the sum
of five dolars fifty-three cents. At the
aoe of eleven, he entered the store of
Crab Ketchum & Keekpum, in his ma
tivS town and continued therein as a
olerk until he had reached the age of fif-
teen years, and accumulated the sum of
two hundred and five dollars and thirty-two
cents. Investing this amount in pota-
toes and dried pumpkins, he set sail IN
Stonington sloop for New York, and with
his entire possessions landed at Fulton
Market in the year 1917. Since that
time he has passed through the several
pro LESSONS of vegetable purveyor, fish
vcnd er, general merchant, bank president
and s,1lid man, and is now considered a
maonate and a millionaire. He was new

THAT Bro TREE. - Sometime since a
statement appeared first, we believe, in
the Detroit Tribune, that there is cot
ton-wood tree in the township Of Wash
ington, in this county, which measures
forty-fcoleet in circumference. The item
was extensively copied by our cotempo
faries in different parts, until recently the
editor Of the East Saginaw Courier seems
todoub, the existence of such tree, and
concludes by asking us whether it does
really exist and whether it is "sound" or
"shaky." AS W. like to be of as much
service as possible to our friends of the
press, we have made some inquiries re-
speeding it, and have thus far found no
one who could give us the desired infor-
nation; consequently we are inclined to
believe that the story is a genuine caa-
ard. However, if we find a person who
knowns anything concerning such an
immense tree, and can find out where it
is situated, we shall endeavor to make it
a visit, and will report to you accord
inoly, Mr.. Cowier, as to its "soundness."
Up to the present time we haven't ar-ed
it.-RoBco Aygus.
