My First Experience.


mechanic concerning the benefits of q
newspaper:
Ten years ago, 1 lived in town in
Indiana. In returning home one
night, for am a carpenter by trade. /
saw little girl leave my door with a
smile, which is encouraging to man
after hard days labor. [ asked my
wife who she was She said Mrs. r.
had sent her littlegirl after their news
paper which she had borrowed. We
sat dcwn to tea. My wife said to me:
II wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; it is no much comfort to me
when you are away from home:
My answer was:
IL would like to do so, but you know
/ own a payment on the house AMI lot.
1t will be all that can do to meet 1t. /"
S.lid she: ~ oi -
"If you will take the paper, 1 will
sew for the tailor to pay for it. !" 80
Isubscribed for the paper; it came.in
due time to the shop. While resting
one noon and looking over, it, / saw an
advertisement of the County Commis-
sioners to let bridge that was to be
built. putin bid for the bridge, and
the job was awarded to me, on which I
realized three hundeed dollars, which
enabled me topay for my house and lot
easily, and for my newspaper. If /
had not subscribed for the newspaper,
/ would not have known any thing
about the contract, and could not have
metthe payment on my house and lot.
A mechanic never loses any by taking
a newspaper. --vs
The young King of Spain is referred
to in arecent Madrid letter as follows:
In the course ofthe drive young fellow
went shying right up against the Kings
leaders, and half knocked the royal po-
sition out of his saddle, and the young
coxcomb did it on purpose. too, for he
neither took Off his hat nor turned
round to beg pardon. He just galloped
away, while everybody was laughing
and saying it was coed joke, and the
poor Queen was as red as lobster and
the King hung his head. 1t might
it might have beena good joke, but it
was very bad manners. l am told such
things happen not unfrequently. The
King is good looking young man,
with skin like Philip H., and an eye
like-well, not good eye. / cannot
compliment his eyes, and / should bf,
rather sorry to know anybody intim-
ately who had that sort of eyes. He
is brave, and he is patient. 1 met him
on the sidewalk this morning, walking
up the street of Alcola, all alone, and
with nothing which looked like po-
liceman within forty rods of him. He
goes about like any other young man
of his age, plainly dressed, with little
switch in his hand, complete y unat-
tended, and apparently as free from
royal etiquette and royal apprehensions
as the best democrat of them all. The
threat of assassinating him has died. out
completely. lie has quite shaned it
out of his enemies"

The Tcrfperance BIZ.

In the Senate Senator Foster reported
back this bill TO the Senate, giving the rea-
sons why the bill shoIld pass. This report
Is an exhaustive argument, aud ably writ
ten, and will be extensively printed through
the press. On the question Of submitting the
question TO the people, the REPORT held that
no petitions had come up on that point and
that If was the duty Of the Legislature to
act as the representatives Of tie people,
and concluded that the bill should pass.
Senator Schmidt made an adverse report
in favor Of Indefinitely ros.poning, which
was also an ably written document. The
ground was strongly taken that the use of
yinous and fermcnted liquors were not in
furious to health: that there is no more rca-
son why this business shoail he restrained
than-many others. We had laws enough
now on the statute books, and these should
be enforced before Others are added. No
one could or would complain if those were
enforced. That it was imGoitic 70 make
the seller responsible for the acts Of others.
The poor cannot give the bonds, and. how
ever honest. cannot pursue the business.
This report viii also be printed and the two
will be considered the whole argument on
both sides.

SPRING MILIINCRY-


Chip bonnets, which were so much in
vogue last season, will enjoy an equal de-
gree of favor during the coming spring and
summer. Split straw-, Milan brads, in
various brown and gray tints, Leghorns
and Tuscans are among the varieties, as
are the stylish rough and ready'., the Nea
poltan and other hair bonnets with few
fancy braids.
The shapes differ but little from the
shapes of last season. A chip which may
serve model shows combination of the
Gypsy and Empire shape. The crown is
large ana fiat, the brim narrow, and the
curtain exceedingly small There are,
however, numerous other shapes. A split
straw has a much lower crown, the brim is
deeper and descenls much lower at the
ears. Another which has high square
crown, has the brim rolled up both at the
back and front. In few other shape. it
rolls up at the front or droops at the back,
or it rolls up at the back and droops at the
front. Handsome bonnets will be composed
both of straw and taille, or of Grape and gros
grain. There will also be bonnets made
entirely of crepe of some quiet and delicate
color, trimmed with bright flowers and
ribbons.
Round hats show as little change in
shape as the bonuets. The crowns of the
new lmpOrtations are high and the narrow
brims are either rolled up at the sides, or
they droop slightly both back and front
The trrban with round crown and straight
brim rolled closely against the crown will
continue in favor.
Black glazed sailor hats have high broad
crowns with slightly turned up brims.
These are simply trimmed with broad
bands of black or dark blue ribbon Shade
and garden hats show the usual varieties in
shape. Some have halfhigh square
high crowns with very wide brims.
New and exquisite shades of ribbon are
used with folds and pufings of faille, black
lace, ostrich tips and flowers. Straw trim
mings, which comprise variety of orna-
ments, will be employed to trim black lace
and crepe; as well as straw bounets. The
new importations, hats and bonnets, are
untrimmed, SO that it is quite impossible to
tell what trimmings will be most in vogue,
or what particular style will prevail
although milliners assure US that the varie-
ties which we have mentioned viii all be
employed.

Severe SNOW Storm.

The severe snow storm which visited
Washington ten days ago and covered the
streets of that city to the depth of twelve
inches, and which is pronounced to have
been the worst that has visited that local
ity in fifteen years, did not slight Us in the
least. On Thursday night heavy gale
from the northeast sprang up and contin-
ued with unabayed vigor for over twenty
four hours, and eliminated on Friday with
heavy snow storm, which covered the
ground to the depth Of six inches, reyiying
sleighing, which in our vicinity WIS al
most done away with by the recent thaw
The heavy easterly gale has driven the ice
over from the eastern shore, and now cx-
tends into the bay almost As far as the eve
can reach. The Jason Parker and Ella
DOak are still weather bound, unable to
get out, and our harbor is, in fact. closed
for the first time since the beginning Of
winter. The propeller from the South
made our harbor on Sunday night, but was
unable to effect an entrance. Two Rivers
was more favored, where she effected a
..,nding, discharged her freight, and PRO
ceeded to the South.
Stree the above was written the weather
has cleared up, and the air is as balmy as
mid-spring, The harbor is now open, and
the propeller Messenger arrived here yes
terday noon.

economical manner, as will be seen from
the following: Total amount paid for
