A Boat Steered by 81 Corpse.

|
SAYS the Detroit Free Press. .sOn Sun
day morning two farmers and their t;tmi-
lies who We're driving to Maiden to attend
church, when about eight miles below, or
east OF The town, saw ships yaWl on the
lake heading towards the beach and about
half mile away They could plainly
make out 4 man in the stern sheets steer
ing the boat with an oar, and. although
there We're no vessels in sight the morn
ing was so pleasant and the sen so smooth
that it was supposed the man had put ont
from the shore to pick up something and
but little attention was paid to the yawl.
Passing the same spot on their return, the
men found the yaWl hard on the beach,
the man sitting stitl and motonlcss in her
stern, lteless, and frozen as hard rs Il
rock. lie sat bolt upright on the seat, the
oar out behind and both hands claspino
the handle. and it required hard work to
wrench it from his death grip. There was
about 4 foot OF water in the boat, but the
craft did not show bad usage The mans
legs were almost covered with ice rs far
up as his knees, and the spray had dashed
over his back and shoulders and frozen
there. There was no name on the boat.
and the person who brought the informa-
tlon to Windsor yesterday could not say
that anything was found on the person of
the man to reveal his identity or to show
how he had been cast adrilt. He must
have been dead at least three DAYS or
more. There was neither sail nor mast
to the boat, and nothing in it but the one
oar, showing that the poor fellow had not
intended a long trip anywhere and that
he must have been blown off the shore
tie had used his oar to keep before the
wind, and had frozen to death on his seat.

that it had to be broken with a stone be-
fore he could be pulled oft.

The Negro Organ ON the Seizure Of the
Bulletins Forms.

We quote the following editorial from the
Louisianian, (Pinchback's paper Of the 9th,
as contrast to the remarks of the PicAy,ne
and Times on the seizure of the BULLETIN s
forms by the police. The Louisianian has
more independence and manliness than the
Camp street concerns:
Last Saturday night our enterprising con-
temporary the NewOrleans BULLETIN, was the
victim of a raid by certain members of the pO
lice, under the auspices of citizen named
Houlihan.
We have not room for a statement OF the
facts in detail, but will say that the BULLETIN
forms without a warrant, and upon the plea
that the type belonged to Houlihan and was
about to be made way with-were seized by
policemen, in citizens dress, and locked up in
the police station for the night, forcing the
BULLETIN to send out an unfinished sheet on
Sunday morning The Republican, with
prompt and creditable courtesy, rendered such
aid as our unfortunate contemporary needed in
the premises in securing the issue of its un-
finished sheet. We are pleased to see that
both Judge Macarthur and Gen. Badger disa-
VOW responsibility for this midnight outrage
upon our extravagant sprightly neighbor.
We do not know who is the prime mover
in this reprehensible and lawless mischief,
but the type seized was being used by the tacit,
if not express, consent Of Houlihan, and he
well knew that the forms were on their way to
the press, and that there was no disposition or
purpose to deprive him of his property or to
abstract the same; and we frankly character
ize it. whether springing from Houlihan alone,
or conformity with others, as piece of petty
and contemplate malice, that will and ought
to bring shame upon those who instigated it.
As Republican, we find constant occasions
to differ both with the philosophy and the
spirit of the BULLETIN on political issues, but
it does not comport with our self-respect or
sense Of justice to make either our personal or
political fights in this way.

To the land of love-the land Of day.
