Arrested for Theft. "A number
of boys who for sometime past have
been suspected of pilfering oysters and
cake from the Cong Society, used at
their festivals, were arrested last Satur-
day and brought before Justice Wood
worth. The cases have been moved
before Justice Hurley, the examination
to come off Monday next. A portion
are members of the old band who have
become youthful and expert rogues.
Some of the parents think the COM
claimants are prosecuting the boys, but
the fact is it were a kindness to check
them in careers that will eventually
bring them to the penitentiary if they
are not looked after at once. These
thefts are becoming altogether to fire.

Amendments to the CITY

Amendments to the City
Charter. At an adjourned meeting
of the citizens of Grand Rapids on
Saturday evening last, it was decided
to ask the Legislature for the follow
ing amendments to the charter:
The school law that was passed last
winter, and which also effects the
boundary lines of the city, but which
owing to the imperfect wording of the
bill, does not take effect until March
next, is to be repealed, and the present
system of school government retained.
The clause in our city charter rela-
tive to the collection OF taxes is to be
materially changed and improved.
The warrant for the collection Of taxes
is be first put into the hands of the
City Treasurer, and up to the 18th of
January in each year taxes can be
paid at the Office Of that official with
out any fees" attached. From that
date to the 4th Monday in January
there Will be a penalty Of 3 per, cent
and after that date, the rolls will go into
the hands Of the City Marshal who
will collect the balance-by distress
and sale, if necessary charge the
usual 5 per cent. This is more in &C.
cordance with the 'ftness of things
as a man may make very good peace
officer bat a very poor collector, and
oice yeYsa.
Another amendment provides that
Justices of the Peace shall file their
bonds and oaths Of Office with the
clerk of the Circuit Court, in lieu of
City Clerk, and another simplifes the
opening. laying out and altering of
streets, so as to conform nearer to the
workings Of the general law,
A committee consisting of L. P.
Powers and c. NJ. Webb was appoint
ed to draft the amendments. and
they were instructed to procure such
legislation as was necessary if any was
needed, to enable the District to retain
possession Of the Howe fund.
lATER.-Another meeting has been
called for next Saturday night, for the
purpose of amending the amendments.

that this is an international game ?
You are insulting the nations. 1--WE
think We can hear Samuels words, and
we think we see him dying that the
integrity of the nations may be pre-
served. It is refreshing to witness
such a spirit of self sacrifice, in these
days of superlative selfshness.
Admiral Lorraine is hero. We
don't care whether he be an English
man or an Irishman, Hottentot or
an Ethiopian, he did what all the world
except Bro. Carroll lands, and his
name will be blessed forever.
Admiral Lorraine didn't stop to ask
Mr.. Bull, "shall | do this thing ?"
He acted on his own responsibility,
and did his whole duty, John Bull
might have done otherwise. What
Mr.. Bull did in India, and with the
Sepoy5, is one thing: what Admiral
Lorraine did in Cuba is another thing.
England has done many mean things,
as all nations have done, but the con-
mander of the Niobe is not responsible
therefore any more than our friend
Samuel is responsible for the escape of
the prisoners from Cuban butchery.
When the Iron Duke gave utterance
to the memorable exclamation; Eng
land expects every man to do his
duty" the words were remembered,
and probably Lorraine acted on the as
that, to be true to himself,
to England, and to all the brotherhood
of man, he must do just what he did
do,-simply his duty; and We assure
our friend Carroll that, had the crew
of the Virginius been Hiberians, in
stead Of Spaniards and Americans, it
is reasonable to suppose that Admiral
Lorraine would have been just as
ready to protect-yea more SO because
he would then have been directly re-
sponsible, to his government for the
of official trust-to the
lttermost those whose allegiance was
due to the flag that foated frcm the
Of the Niobe.

The Scarlet Fevnr.-The fearful

The Scarlet Fevpr.-The fearful
scourge is again sacrificing its annual
quota Of delicate children whose con-
stitutions cannot cope with the death
dispensing malaria. Oftentimes some
simple treatment, if well timed, checks
the progress of the disease Robert
Christie, of San Francisco, suggests
one that has been tried successfully:
Take an onion and cut it in half:
cut cut portion of the center, and
into the cavity put a spoonful Of SAT
form; put thep ieces together, then rap
them up in cloth and bake them in an
oven until the onion is cooked so that the
juice will run freely; squeeze out all
the juice, and give the patient tea
spoonful, at the same time rubbing the
chest and throat with goose grease CT
rancid bacon, if there is a7y cough or
soarness in the throat. In 4 short
time the fever will break out in an
eruption all over the body All that
is then necessary is to keep the pa
tient warm and protected from draught.
and the recovery is certain. Mr..
Christie sayes he has been employing
this remedy for many years, and never
knew it to fail when proper care was
taken of the patient after its applca,

FIVE children down with the disease at

Off the Track.-The freight trai

Off the Track. The freight train
coming east on the G.. B. & NJ. R. L.
last Friday, p. m. left the track about
seven miles west of Dexterville. Five
cars laden with wheat and one with
merchandise were thrown off, one drop
ping its running gearing through the
trestle work of small bridge. The
accident occasioned the detention of
trains to the extent that the 2.45 run
east on Saturday did not arrive till
near six clock. We understand that
no explanation can be given for the
mishap. No bodily injury was sus-
tanned by the employees, and no seri-
Gus damage occasioned further than re-
lated.

Respectfully Yours,
s. \. G.

We declare; we are becoming al
most discouraged. Here we have been
for the past three years trying to make
man of our good friend Samuel, and
when we think we have accomplished
the great feat, out he comes and Stops
over as other great men have done be-
fore him. Now Samuel would discuss
international law, and he feels indig-
nant because the brave Admiral Lamb
urton Lorraine, CHATS his name,
Sam..0 was so hasty as to save forty or
fifty souls rather than allow a brutaliz-
ed government to butcher them.
Sans logic is poor,-his theories are
unreasonable. and his charity was be-
come like unto sounding brass. What
a pity it is that the brave "Sea Lion"
was so rash, just look at it. Neither
Spain nor the Uuited States had a
chance TO "chooSe up, ana no one
knows who might have had the ''inns,
in the international game Of cannon
ball. It seems however that those
whose lives were saved by the heroic
commander, entertain views not exact
ly parallel with Samuels, for they so
far forget what was due 10 nations as
to publicly express their gratitude to-
ward their deliverer. However, II
Sam had been with them in their I'M
prisonment we presume things would
have been vastly different, for undoubt-
edly Sam would have thrust his head
through some one of the many port
holes of the prison and shouted III
stentorian tones, "hold there, you

Dee. Is, you chronicle an heroic act OF
a Commander of British Man OF
War.
/ Is is shame to have so brave a
man nameless; however, and an act Of
humanity no matter by whom perform
ed is certainly worth of admiration.
But that you should be informed OF
the most minute particular of the con-
versation, which passed between the
Commander and the Governor, even to
the FIVE minutes time by the old Sea
Lion, and not to know his name, is to
say the best little thin.
1t is rather humiIiating to an Amer
lean citizen, to think he has to depend
on England to vindicate his rights as a
citizen.
But there may be private under
standing, between the governments IN
regard to the matter, something of this
sort: Brother Jonathan, to John b.
[ want to strike bargain with you !;
now you see that we yankees have a
lot Of old guns and rusty swords and
bayonets if you keep still, we can
sell to the Fenian8 then after we get
the cash, you can kick up a muss
about it, and we will take the whole
thing from them; and if any of those
hot headed Irish who have been fight
ing for as. should 90 over to give you
any trouble, you can do just as you
have mind to with them and we will
be mum in the matter.
John B.. Agreed old fellow =!
And shiver my timbers, lift ever comes
in my way to do you as good turn
blow my top lights out, if don't do
it
In 1867, Brother Jonathin fulfilled
his part of the contract, by looking on
while England was consigning Ameri-
can citizens to her prison pens, and
treating them as harshly as our prison
ers of war were at Libby or Anderson
vile and others she consigned to the
gallows on the testimony Of witnesses
(procured and paid by the govern
ment.) from the purlieus Of vice and
crime.
Now John Bull thinks that this
Cuban affair is a good chance to put
on a staggering air (and call on a
man who had received instructions
from his own government, to see that
no more executions take place, and
repeat the command; and will make
an offset, for Andy Johnson's services.
And Of course the descendants of
the truly loyal to the British Crown
in 1776; and the King -worshipers
of the present day, if Royalty but
sneeze, must laud it to the skies if
'twere possible.
Bat, in place of being boon con-
fered this government, it is an insult
offered to US as nation for this
good reason, that we are deprived of
an opportunity of knowing whether
the demand of our government would
have been respected or not, without
their interference IN the matter.
On the other hand, she has depriv-
ed Spain of the credit she should be
rightly entitled to, by the course she
has pursuM in agreeing to make resti-
tuition as far as lay in her power, when
the matter was fully investigated so
that in either view of the case.
England has earned your blessing very
cheepy. Now my dear friend; give
US a resume of some of Johns heroic
acts in India, when he was blowing
the Sepoys heavenward from the can
mons mouth"
You mag think that this as '6istor-
tcGt;;" but then your readers are not
all historians
