The largest and most successful Bust
ness College in the west. The following
are some of Its special advantages:
1st. 1t is member Of the Internation-
al Business College Association, and its
Scholarships are good in all the Colleges
of the Association.
I'd. The student sdUes money by cheap
er rates for board. Good board, in pri-
vate families, costs our students from
$500 to $3.50 per week. The same class
OF board would cost, in large city of
three hundred thousand inhabitants, at
least two dollars per week mora saw
ing to our students, while taking the
course, of more than enough to pay for
q Life Scholarship in our institution
But we do more. We have q large num-
Der of students who club together and
board themselves. and to all who board
in this way, we furnish, free Of charge,
the use of furniture, including bedstead,
chairs, table, stove, aud cooking uten-
slls. Some of our best students are
boarding In this way, at less than one
dollar AID half per week, including all
expenses for board and room rent.
A smart student, who boards himself
as suggested above, can complete the
whole course for one hundred ard tmentu-
flee Misunderstanding tuition, board,
books, stationery, and all necessary ex-
penscs. This allows for five months
board and expenses,

ing fees.
4th. Our rooms are arranged express
ly for our Business College. They are
the largest and most complete rooms
used for Business College purposes in
the West, the main hall being 60x90 feet.
Students are required to study at the
College, where they can apply to the
teacher in charge for instruction and
explanation as they may need it.
9Th. The Darsaport Business College
is the best-because 1t is the largest and
cheapest, because of Its experienced and
able teachers; because it is located in
the largest and best city in the State,
and Is able to furnish situations to a
larger per cent of its graduates; and be-
cause it possesses the confidence of the
entire business community, and its di-
plomas are passports to favor among
business men
9th. The Actual Business DEPARTMENT
of this College affords ample facilities
to impress upon the students mind what
he has learned in the theory department.
The students not only do business among
themselves in the College, but with the
other Colleges OF the Association, thus
establishing inter communicates, here
by foreign business is carried on in the
same manner as that which takes place
in the Actual Business World. This
inter communication Is now actually
taking place, thus opening a correspond
encc between other Colleges of the Asso'
citation Through these agencies, ship
ments are made and consignncnts re-
ceived, with all the attending CORES
pondence.
The Topographic Department is in
charge Of a practical operator, Of expe.
rience and ability, who devoics his whole
time exclusively 10 this department.

A DetroIt TittIebat TitmOuse.

Mr.. Ludwig Pulvermacher-a most
execrable name-is clerk in Detroit
dry goods store Ludwig is handsome
fellow, and well the rascal knows it.
Having discharged his duties to the sat
isfaction Of his employers on Thursday
last, Ludwig drew on his kids, embraced
his delicate cane, and sauntered leis-
urely up Miami avenue. He had his
eyes about him, and would have sworn
that everybody was stunned by his ap-
,pearance. Suddenly he saw some ladies
at window smiling. Ludwig thought
they were smiling at him, and SO raised
his hat and smiled at them. Then the
ladies laughed. This was enough for
Ludwig. He boldly crossed over and
entered the house. The ladies requested
him to leave. He smiled again, re-
marked that the request was altogether
" too thin" and quietly took seat.
Then one of the ladies retired 70 the
next room, and returning pointed re-
volver at Ludwig's head, promising to
blow that ornament from its place if the
owner did not instantly vacate the
spremises. Ludwig took the hint and
left. The next day an irate husband
sought him out and completely spoiled
his good looks by divers kicks and
knocks, which we're very uncomfortable
and decidedly rude. Ludwig now seeks
relief from his bruises in damages.

A hundred Yenra AGO.

One hundred and ten years ago there
was not single white man in what is
now Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana or Hi
nois. Then, what is now the most
Aourishing part of the United States was
as little known as the country in the
heart of Africa itself. II was not till
l776 that Boone left his home in North
Carolina to become the first settler in
Kentucky. And the first pioneers of
Ohio did not settle till twenty years
later still. A hundred years ago Can
ada belonged to France, and Washing
ington was a modest Virginia Colonel,
and the United States the most loyal
part of the British empire, and scarcely
speck on the political horizon indicated
the struggle that in score of years was
to lay the foundation of the greatest re-
public of the world. .rHJrt
A hundred years ago there were but
four small newspapers America; steam
engines had not been imagined, and loco
motives, and steamboats,, and railroads,
and telegraphs, and postal cards, and
friction matches, and revolvers, and per-
cussion caps, and breech loading guns,
and stoves, and furnaces, and gas for
dwellings,, and India rubber shoes, and
sewing machines, and anthracite coal,
and photograps, and chrome paintings,
and kerosene oil, and the safety lamp,
and the compound blow-pipe, and free
schools, and spring mattresses, and
wood engraving, and Brussels carpets,
and lever watches, and greenbacks and
cotton aud wooden factories, in anything
like the present meaning of these terms,
were utterly unknown.
| A hundred years ago the spinning
wheel was in almost every family, and
clothing was spun and woven and made
up in the household, and the printing
press was cumbrous machine, worked
| BY hand and a nail, or brick, or a
knife, or pair of shears or scissors, or
a razor, OF woven pair of stockings,
or an axe, or hoe, or shovel, or a lock or
key, or plate of glass of any size, was
not made in what is now the United
States. Even in 1890 there were only
seventy-fve postofices in the country,
and the whole extent of our post routes
was less than nineteen hundred miles.
Cheap postage was unheard Of, and had
any one suggested the transmission Of
messages with lightning speed he would
have been thought utterly insane. The
microscope on one hand and the teles-
cope on the other, were in their infancy
as instruments of science, and geology
and chemistry were almost unknown.
In a word, it is true that to the century
passed have been allotted more improve
ments, in their bearing on the comfort
and happiness of mankind, than to any
other which has elapsed since the crea-
tion of the world.

A miIe in Thlr,y.two seconds.


The following story of the achieve.
ment in respect to the speed of an ice
boat on the Hudson in the vicinity of
Statsburg, New York, is told by the
Poughkeepsie Eagle:
Thursday last the wind blew very
fresh from the south, and the owner OF
the new ice-boat Cyclone determined
to take advantage of the favorable OPP
portunity for trying his yacht. The
Hudson at this point is wide, and at the
course selected its width is one mile.
Having made every preparation for the
feat to be accomplished, the reef points
we're shaken out OF the sails, and every
stitch OF canvasspread TO the gale. With
two men on the windward runner to
keep the boat down to the ice, the helm
was turned, the sails filled, and in a
moment, with every inch of canvas
drawing, she was under fall headway.
Like an arrow from a bow she darted
away on the course, clouds OF pulver-
lied ice following in the tracks of her
runners as they hummed over the
surface Of the river, and in what seemed
but an instant the river had been crossed
and the mile accomplished in the almost
incredible time Of thirtyoue seconds,
being at the rate Of two miles in a minute
and two seconds. Persons on the shore
compared the speed of the flying racer
to that Of meteor flashing through che
sky. and watched her movements with
eager interest. The owner afterward
put the boat through some movements
on the ice. and astonished, as well as
paralyzed, the lookers-on by sailing ali
the way across the river on one runner,
the force Of the wind throwing her over
on her beam ends and raising the wind
