A Good CanvaSser.

A CENTRAL MICHIGAN editor, whose
death the Free Press chronicled only a
lew months ago, was probably as persist
ent man as ever started out on "dun''
or looked for new subscribers. He was
ohce out on a jaunt in the township of
White Oak, Ingham County, sticking to
every farmer until he got his name and
money, and it so happened that he came
to house where death had called few
hours before. The farmers wife was
laid out and the husbandman and his
children were grieving over her loss when
the editor knocked at the door.
What's up!" inquired the editor as he
fore him.
"My wife is dead" replied the farmer
Is that so ?'' mused the editor, little
disappointed. "Did she die easy?"
Dropped off like lamb"
"Did she say anything ?'
"Not word-just went right to sleep
like"
"I didn't know" continued the editor
sad look on his face, "but what she
might have requested you to subscribe
for the Cascade, which you know is the
best paper in the country. s4If you want
it I'll take your name right in, and under
the circumstances | won't charge cent
for the obituary notice!"
The farmer hung off for while, but
before the editor went away he had two
additional dollars in his pocket and had
written out an obituary notice for publ
cation in the next issue which the be
reaved husband pronounced ga mighty
smart piece. ."-DetroSt Free Press.

A Dumb Dialogue.

It wrenches one badly to step on the
wrong stair, but few can help laughing at
the awkward stride he makes. 1t is
equally funny to see man meet the
wrong" customer" and go to talking and
gesticulating at him as if he were some
body else.
Jones went out to the deaf and dumb
asylum the other day to inspect the insti-
tuition. Upon entering he encountered a
man, evidently an inmate, and he at
once endeavored to explain to the man by
making signs upon his fingers that he
wanted to look through the place.
The man also made signs which Jones
could not comprehend. Then Jones made
other and more elaborate motions, which
set the man at work with greater violence,
and for the next ten minutes they stood in
the hall gesticulating and twisting thei
fingers without either being able to COM
prehend what the other meant Finally
Jones became angry, and in an outburst of
wrath exclaimed:
ooh, get out, you idiot! I'm tired of
bothering with youw
Thereupon the man said: That's just
what / was going to say about you"
ooh, you can speak, can you? Then
why didn't you do so, and not keep me
standing here motioning to you? /
thought you were deaf and dumb"
sAnd I thought you were," said the
man.
s'I came here to inspect the asylum,n
said Jones, and l took you for pa
tlent'
"That's what I came here for, and I
thought you were an attendant" said the
man.
Here Jones and the man shook hands
and hunted up genuine attendant, and
went away happy. After this Jones will
always use his tongue, no matter where
he is.-Youth's COmpG1,S0a.

DoDGEv11LE, WISCONSIN, FRIDAY MARCH 27 1874

THE young ladies of Petersburg, Va,
have organized secret association, oj
which the emblem is golden heart worn
over the left breast, bearing the cabalistic
inscription OF" "B. O. o." What it means
nobody thererabout appears to know, but
the Interpretation is simple enough
Beware of U.s."
THE New York varnishers and pol
ishers are recognizing their trades-union
with view of being enabled to regain
with the opening of the spring business
their former rate of wages, which, owing
to the financial convulsion of last fall
were reduced by an average 90 per cent
Their present average rate of wages is
fifteen dollars per week, and they expect
to have it raised when the time comes to
eighteen dollars per week, at an average
estimate.

The Hinge of the Universe.

The beautiful constellation of the Plei
AIDES is one of the most familiar in the
sky, but it is probably not generally
known how important position is held
by one of it's stars in the economy of the
universe.
We read in the Book of Job of the
"sweet influences of the Pleiades," or
more literally of the "seven stars" but it
has been puzzle to biblical scholars
what is meant bv this expression. OF
this cluster of stars, which Tennyson
compares to swarm of fireflies tangled
in silver BRAID" only six are now visi-
BILE to the naked eye, but as many as two
hundred have been seen through apOwer-
full telescope.
In Greek mythology the group con-
sisted originally of seven sisters, one of
whom married a mortal, and therefore her
star lost its brilliance and was no longer
visible. AS the missing one was lost from
view long before the telescope was dis
covered, it is impossible now to tell
whether it's light was simply bedimmed
or, as in some other cases, altogether ex-
tinguished.
The lost Pleiad has been the subject of
much interest to the poets and painters,
but in the estimation of astronomers the
star called Alcyone holds the first rank.
According to the German astronomer
Maedler it is the sun around which all
the starry systems are revolving. After
seven years spent in the most patient re-
search he came to the conclusion that
Alcyone is the center or hinge of the uni
verse.
1t may not seem to us large and bright
enough to occupy so important position,
but it must be remembered that it is very
distant, and that its light is 537 years in
reaching our earth. Moreover, according
to Maedler's calculations, eighteen mill
ions of years are occupied in one gigantic
revolution of the universe around this re-
mote center
The discoveries resulting from the in
vention of the spectroscope have proved
that there is very rapid motion among
what are known as the "fixed" stars
Some are approaching us, others drifting
away, at the rate of from thirty to fifty
miles a second 1t was long ago an
nounced by Herschel that our sun, with its
attendant planets, was moving toward
particular part of the heavens. 1t is re-
garded as probable by astronomers that
the starry movements, like those of the
great men in Spain, are all revolutionary
in their character, but some have fixed
upon star in the constellation Hercules,
instead of Alcyone, as the central point,
or hub, round which turns the wheel OF
the universe.
Whichever point may befnally decided
upon, we cannot but wonder at the power
and reach of the mind of man, which is
able 10 penetrate into such immense dis
tances of space, to measure the speed OF
such rapid movements, to calculate the
almost inconceivable periods of time oc-
cupied by the revolutions of the heavenly
bodies, and finally to "point confidently
to the starry magnet which unites the
astral brotherhood in one great family."-

Work.

The man who has nothing to do is the
most miserable of beings. No matter
how much wealth man possesses he can
neither be contented nor happy without
occupation. We were born to labor and
the world is our vineyard. We can find a
field for our usefulness almost anywhere.
In occupation we forget our cares, our
worldly trials, and our sorrows. 1t keeps
us from constantly worrying and brood
ing over what is inevitable. If we have
enough for ourselves we can labor for the
good of others, and such task is one of
the most delightful duties worthy and
good man can engage in.-Our Fsressde
