Tue ORANGES AND rmE MANurAc

TuE ORANGES AND THE MANuPAc-
TuRERs.-The Indiana Farmer says /:
Certain manufacturers, recogniz.
ing the fact that the true solution OF
the trade question Is in bringing the
manufacturer and producer together,
have arranged to sell their articles 10
all members of the Order at strictly
manufacturers prices. 1t is evident
that they must be supported by the
Oranges, or they cannet continue in
this line of trade. Dealers may for
the time being, put down their prices
with the view OF crushing these mans
ufacturies. If members Of the Order,
relying on the promises of the retail
dealers, give the manufacturers the
cold shoulder, the result is certain
aud will not bel Hong delayed, for the
manufacturers will be compelled to
seek their old channels of trade.
They are not through yet. We clip the
following from the San Francisco News
Letter:
"The ladies came down like volt or
the fold,
And their toilets were cleaning with pur
pie and gold;
And the gleam of bright eyes were lik,
stars that we see
When we tipple blue ruin in sweet Bar
barry"

Congress. The Second District Is clear of ali
back pay faint. but other districts have not
been 30 fortunate. Let tho Republicans in
these districts do their whole duty"
Last week we announced that the South
Haven Sentinel had proclaimed the name Of
Hon. j. j. Woodman, as the coming man for
the Office OF Secretary Of State. It now
becomes our duty to chronicle the fact that the
Hastings Banner brings to the front the name
OFF. Webster Childs, the great champion Of
the farmer and working man of Washtenaw
County, and advocates his claims in a little
speech as full OF eloquent twaddle as those
written by newspaper correspondents for Men,
bers OF Congress possessing great oratorical
powers.
The Cassapolis Viglldrt goes off in ecstacies
over the article published in the South Haven
Sentinel last week advocating the claims OF the
" Congressional Reader Of six years expert
ence-Hon. Charles w. Clisbee-and then
closes Its little Grafton in the following Ian
guage:
"We notice in the Detroit aud other papers,
that sharp contest is being waged in kalama-
zoo and elsewhere over the denomination Of
MIR. Burrows, aud doubts are expressed as to
his receiving a home Endorsement, IN which
event MIR. b. cannot expect to be a candidate
before the convention.
We are not aware that our popular fellow
townsman was actively in the field for Con-
gress, yet should such contingency arise, hs
would receive hearty and cordial support from
Cass County"

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION NEEDED
The daily newspapers are discussing,
with well affected surprise, the question
why nearly half of the young men named
for Cadets at West Point failed to pass
the very light examination required
there. Ifanybody understood the reason,
we should have supposed the editors of
the newspapers did.
Does not the whole drift of the So.
called education of the country run to
pretense in what people call the higher
branches, rather than to solidity in the
three RS, reading, writing, ana arth
metic? And does any one know this
better than the editor of daily news
paper, codeu.ned to read articles badly
written, badly spelled, and based on very
bad calculation ? If, by some miracle,
the Civil Service Rules can be held on
to for a generation, so that Commercial
Colleges which teach nothing shall be
fifty disgraced, and so that any school
which cannot teach boy to spell shall
be truly reported before the community,
there will be. gradually, in the results OF
the Civil Service examinations, stand.
ard given which the country will heed
as to the working education of the
schools.
1t is not West Point alone which re-
jects half the people who apply for ad-
mission. There is not bank which
wants new teller, there is not an i'm
porter who wants new clerk for cores.
pondence, there is not clergyman VIII o
wants new amanuensis, there is not a
merchant who wants new ook-keep err,
who does not reject nine applicants out
of ten, for the very reasons for which
West Point has rejected these boys: be-
cause they cannot spell, they cannot
write, and because they do not know
what the rule of three means.
And thus we come round again to the
question which our July number is al
ways asking, " Would it not be better
to teach three things thoroughly, than
a thousand things i'll ?"-[Old and
New

TuE POLITICAL cauldron has commenced boil
ing. and the friends and foes Of candidates and
aspirante are bestirripg themselves with great
activity. The particular thing that seems to
require immediate attention Is the question
whether the Hon. J. G.. Burrows shall be his
own successor. or whether some other scion of
the Republican stalk shall be selected as the
Congressional standard-bearer.
THIS, lie all questions, has two sides, and
people are looking the matter over while the
manipuators Of the primaries are looking
around Tor the proper men to send to the con-
yentions as delegates. Mr.. Burrows, being In
possession of the Office. has considerably tie
advantage OF other competitors, while his OPP
ponents have not yet put forward thelr man.
This latter fact is also apparently in his favor.
Il has teen usual to give the position two
terms, or to state more explicitly, i. has been
the custom for a member OF Congress to be his
own successor for second term. This has
been eapctione1by party usage and party prece

From The Detroit Free Press.

From The Detroit Free Press.
In The Free Press of the 18th u!t l
find the following:
a Curious Relic-The Marquette
Mining Jouraoi says In the show win.
dow of T. Mead, the poet and noted
dealer in Neurological specimens, is a
pair of deer horns which have the APP
pearance of having grown from the side
of tree. They were found on the
Menominee River by j. n. Armstrong,
an explorer, some time since. When
found they were embedded in soft
maple tree, near a branch about eighteen
feet from the ground, and piece of the
tree with the horns in was cut out and
and brought in. 1t is supposed the horns
were hung over sapllng branch years
ago, and in its growth the tree has formed
around the base of the horns.
We have similar relic " found by
James Ryder, ESD, while grading the
Chicago & Michigan Lake Shore Rail
road bed just north of this place. 1t
was a beach tree in this case, and the
horns were about twelve feet from the
ground. While the tree was growing
around these horns the ri ht horn was
Topped, it is supposed, by falling limb.
But they had become so imbedded that
it hung and eventually became as solidly
incased as the other
What is the most curious about our
"relic" is, while the tree was growing
around the horns and over the connect
ing piece of skull it assumed the shape
of the top of deer's head. The tree
shows an age of about forty five years.
This must result from hanging deer's
horns over small limbs of saplings, after
the horns have been cleft from the head.
And / am informed by a noted Potta-
watamie that this was common prac-
tice among the Indians. Our "relic"
is to be placed in the museum of Albion
College or the University at Ann Arbor.
In 1867 Mr.. John Thomas, of Calu-
met, Indiana, was cutting saw logs, and
attempting to cut the butt off an oak
(white) about three feet through, he
struck somthing which defed the saw.
The saw was set again higher up, and
the butt pieces split off, when to the great
surprise of Mr.. Thomas, he found an
elk's horn about three and half feet
long, which indicated singular Indian
habit. This oak was estimated at about
ninety-seven years growth. | saw this
at the time, but, am sorry to say, cannot
tell what became of it. The elk's horn
seemed to have been hung over a little
limb, which died, but left traces of itself
in the solid side of the oak. The horn
lay parallel and just outside the heart
of the tree. Who will beat this bit of
history. G. w. CHRoUcH.

And they have squealed back a squawk OF
soul-thrilling personalities, by way OF attack,
which to them is downright bliss. The Courier,
IN noticing our reply to it's slashing attack on
the County Committee, overleaps the whole
matter, and belches out whole mouthful OF
personalities, gives a vigorous kick at the moon
that puts 1t much in the attitude Of the lady on
horseback in show-bill= who is kicking at the
comet, and the altitude at which she has raised
her foot suggesting the idea of dlslocation at
the hip.
Although their article bears evidences Of
beng the JOINT work Of half a dozen hands,
set 1t fails TO answer a single question salts
factorlly. or TO even furnish information on
which shrewd guess could be based. They
slur over certain matters, and by implication
undertake to convey the idea that the Post
Master OF that concern was the choice OF the
people. when they well know that the people
knew nothing OF the matter Until the appoint
meut was made. They fail to tell US who signed
the petition. Will they not tell all about IT.,
so that the PEOPLE may know how well they
love fairness III all things? And while they
arc about it they might just add how much 1T
cost them, in cash, to bring about that one lit
tiepiece Of 4" fairness" and "openhandedness. -

new and valuable contribution to american
History has recently been made by the Count
of Paris, by the publication in Europe OF the
first two volumes OF The History OF the Civil
War in America" The Count appears to be in
full sympathy with our Government, as is
evinced by his serving in the Federal Army
during the early years of the Rebellion, in
which he acquired al intimate knowede of the
methods and spirit Of the warfare both North
and South. Being warmly in sympathy with
the Government against the Rebels, and a fine
impartial military critic makes his work one of
great value.
The New York Times publishes several col
umns OF extracts from the work, from which
1t appears that the style is fascinating, the state
ments simple and dire ct, the writer's judgment
clear ana discriminating. II the extracts are
but fair sample Of the whole work, 1t should
find its way TO the shelves OF all who would
possess a thorough insight into and knowledge
OF all phases of the war of the Rebellion, and
gain new ideas as to its causes and effects.
