AMUSING FREAK OF A DISCARDED Low
ER.-The~ little village of Climax, Michigan.
has had a sensation A charming little
druggist became enamored of a rich wild
owls daughter, and pressed his attentions
ardently and persistently upon her, which
she as earnestly repelled, and finally he was
driven from the house. But he even then
was not willing to give her up. He
made nightly visits to the ward and
peered through the windows where his fair
dulcinea was supposed to be innoeently
reposing in the arms of Morpheus or some
other fellow. This trick was soon found
out, and he was expelled from the yard in
a manner that made him revolve like a fiy
wheel. But not willing to give up without
at least relic of remembrance of the fair
one, he visited the clothes line the night
after wash day and purloined chemise and
pair of drawers belonging to her, which
he stuffed and hung up in his bed room,
making a full effigial representation of his
adored by adding a stuffed head and feet.
1t was found by officers who were searching
for the lost wearing apparel, who after
showing the imitation mummy TO 4 few
friends nearby, heartlessly disemboweled it
and carried home the stolen garments.
Though ridieulouslv strange, the above de-
scribed occurrence is substantially tlale.-

There is once more a movement in St,
Paul to revive the old project Of making
direct and continuous navigation from that
city to the Rocky mountains The plan
which commands the most attention, as
well as favor, is to connect the Red and
Minnesota rivers. Lake Traverse, in which
the Red River takes it's rise, lies within a
mile or two Of Big Stone Lake which is the
chief reservoir of the Minnesota. By con-
Meeting these lakes by a canal, deepening
the channel Of the Upper Red River, over
coming the rapids and shadows of the Up
per Minnesota with locks and dams, and
making similar improvements on the Sas-
katcheWan, a continuous chain would be
had from New Orleans to the Rocky Noun
tains, and one of the most productive wheat
regions in the world would be directly trib-
utary to st. Paul. The plan is one which
has been canvassed many years, but the
slme barrier stands in it's way now as always

The term "Japan," according to ex- Min

proper name of the country being Nip Hon,
signifying ''the land of the rising sum-"
the inhabitants consequently call themselves
"Nip Honese." This misnomer is attrib-
uted to the Dutch, who called them ''Jopo-
nese," which term being Anglicized be-
came japanese. The flag of the country Is
a white field with red bali in the center,

our military organizations and by festivities in
tie evening. The Tammany Society was conspicu-
GUS on the OCCASION ana a ball and supper were
given at their headquarters on Park row. The
magnates OF the democratic party and their friends
assembled in full force to do honor to the memory

ceased recalling the memory by military displays
on the 18th Of June OF their victory at Waterloo,
and European countries generally have fol

considered unwise and uncharltable to keep alive

Great Britain ever think of sanctiOning sucn pro-

The victory at New Orleans was great one,
though the conflict was unnecessary, as the terms
OF peace were agreed upon before the contending
forces were engaged in battle. The public Will, no
DOUBT be reminded OF the anniversary by the dis.
