Clever Candidates.

1t isn't often that campaign as be-
tween two opposing candidates is con-
Quoted solely on its merits, the rivals,
so far from indulging in personal abuse,
publicly recognizing each others mer-
its. Such phenomenal amenity in pol
itics was witnessed in Michigan between
the candidates for the Superintendency
of Public Instruction. 1t continued
even after election, when Mr.. Briggs,
The successful aspirant, supposing him
self defeated, wrote to Mr.. Doty, his
presumed vanquisher, saying: 1T is
comfort to know that by the hearttess
slaughter of the innocents on Tues
day the State has made choice of one, at
least, who will prove true friend and
earnest advocate of our educational
interests. 1 will endeavor to have the
old Office at Lansing swept and busted
for your reception" Doty, upon ascer
tanning that the votes were not in his
favor, responded 81 do not wonder
that for the moment you felt like enroll
ing yourself among the killed, wounded
or missing. But as the smoke of the
conflict clears away, am delighted to
find you just where you ought to be, at
the head of the educational affairs of
the State" Presuming that these pro-
fessions of mutual good will are sincere,
their cordially and good taste are COM
mendable

Keep Your Promise.

boy borrowed tool from car
penter, promising to return it at night.
Before evening he was sent away on an
errand, and did not return until late.
Before he went he was told that his
brother should see the article returned.
After he had come home and gone to
bed, he inquired, and found that the
tool had not been sent to it's owner.
He was much distressed to think his
promise had not been kept, but was
persuaded to go to sleep, and rise early
and carry it home the next morning.
By daylight he was up, and nowhere
was the tool to be found. After long
and fruitless search, he set off for his
neighbor's in great distress, to acknowl-
edge his fault. But how great was his
surprise to find the tool on his neigh
boris door-stood And then it appeared
from the print of his little bare feet in
the mud, that the lad had got up in his
sleep ana carried the tool home, and
gone to bed again, without knowing it.
OF course a boy who was prompt in
his sleep was prompt when awake. He
lived respected, had the confidence of
his neighbors, and was placed in many
offices of trust and profit.
If all grown folk felt as this boy did,
there would be good many tracks of
bare feet found some of these bright
mornings and what piles of tools and
books would be found at their owners
doors !-PhrenOlOgicai Journal.

Railroad Accident.

Particulars of the recent accident on
the Grand Rapids and Indiana Rail
road at Moline, show that the express
train was late and running at terrific
rate when an axle under the tender
snapped, and the rear coach and sleeper
were thrown from the track on their
sides, and dragged twice the length of
the train before being stopped. James
Abelan, an elderly man from Kansas,
was instantly killed and his wife in
iured, though not fatally. The follow
ing were more or less seriously injured:
James Frear and wife, Logan county,
Ohio, slight bruises; Levi Eddy, Men,

Michigan Personals.

d. J. ARNOLD has been appointed
Judge for the Michigan Twentieth Ju-
dicial Circuit.
Hon. E. w. DAVIS, one of the earliest
settlers of Kent county, died on the 9th
inst, in his 10Th year. His death is
mourned by all the citizens.
WILLIAM j. UNDERWOOD, the murder
er of Charlotte Pridgeon, who was ac-
quilted in Detroit recently, on the
ground of insanity, is not yet through
with his trials. A State law of 1873 re-
quires that, in criminal cases, where an
acquittal is had on the plea of insanity,
the accused must be confined in the
hospital for the insane in connection
with the penitentiary until pronounced
cured by certain authorities. Perfectly
sane, Underwood does not relish the
thought of incarceration among lunatics
A clergyman who became much inter-
ested in him proposes to pay Under
woods fare to England, where his fam
lily resides, if the law will give up its
hold on him. This failing, his counsel
proposes to test the constitutionality of
the law under which he is held.

A Self.Propellisg Fire Engine.

At Chicago, recently, a self--propel-
ling fire engine was tested in the pres
ence of the Fire Marshal, Police Com
missioners and number of Aldermen,
with the following result With 500
feet of hose, II inch nozzle, 234 feet;
with 500 feet of hose, II inch nozzle,
227 feet with $50 feet OF hose, II inch
nozzle, 30 feet.
The engine, as its name indicates,
does away entirely with the use of
horses, audit is this feature alone which
makes it a novelty, as in all other re-
spects it is precisely similar to other
engines manufacturedby the same COM
pany. The wheels are connected by
means of an endless chain which runs
from the main shaft of the engine to a
grooved wheel on the hind axle, thereby
producing the motion. In winter, when
