the prettiest beds we ever saw for four feet
rows in two rounds, or four burrows: We used
two Twisters in bedding, and found the draft
light for one horse. We also used it for cover

SOME Philadelphia folks are talking
about making another advance in rail-
roading-an advance over the Pullman
palace cars-by constructing private
family cars. The idea is for rich man
who desires to travel to have built, or
buy, car of his own, which need not be
more than half as long as palace car,
and be light and strong, but fitted up
with kitchen, drawing-room bed
rooms, and everything needed for trav-
cling summer family residence, like a
private yacht. The owner of the private
car will hire railroad companies to attach
his car to any train he desires, paying
the railroad companies simply for haul
ing the car. He and his family will
travel as far at a time as they choose !;
travel in the night or not, as they
choose; stay as long as they please at
points of interest; change from one road
to another at pleasure; be pulled after
any train they choose, either mail, ex-
press, or freight; and live on their car
independent of hotels, with their own
servants. And, when not using his pri-
vate car himself, the owner could hire it
to one of his neighbors. 1t would be the
thing for bridal trip, accommodating a
bridal party, and creating new fashion
and a new expense, to delight the hearts
of those who love tn make a show In
such affairs.

AN AVENUE OF TRAVEL.

During the past year large number
of people, among whom was Senator
Christiancy, came north expecting to
come through the inland lakes from Pc
toskey to this place. How the impress
sion came abroad that navigation was
open we are unable to say, but we know
large numbers were disappointed. If it
could be definitely stated and advertised
next season that communication had
been established through the country
there is no doubt but that this would be-
come very popular route for excursion
parties, as well as those who come north
ward for business and pleasure. The
distance to Mackinaw is very little, if any
greater, while it is much more desirable
in every way. The scenery the entire
distance through is beautiful, and of it
self would attract many visitors. When
this avenue of travel is opened, to secure
the full benefit from it, and give visitors
the most favorable impression, it would
be necessary to have boat suitable for
this class Of business, built expressly for
the requirements of the waters through
which it runs. Such boat would not
be very expensive, and in the hands of an
energetic person would prove profita-
BILE investment. With good accommoda-
tons, we have no doubt that majority
of the travel northward from Petoskey
would come this way. Not only would
this stream of travel prove profitable to
the boat. but it could not help but be
beneficial to the whole northern coun-
try. A person cannot see the country
surrounding these lakes without being
favorably impressed with it. and these
impressions would lead many to come
and assist in developing the country.

make some money come and and investi-
gate the transportation matter

HOsIEsTEADERs AND THEIR NEEDS.

HOMESTEADERS AND THEIR NEEDS.
There are large number of pioneers,
mostly hOmesteaders, settled in the imme-
date vicinity Of Burt and Crooked Lakes
who look upon the completion of the
projected improvement of navigation
into those lakes as almost their only sal
walton. Many of them have had little or
nothing to commence upon, further than
to bring them to their claims. There
they must remain or forfeit their home
steads. Very few Of them have even a
team. Where everything from the
clearing Of the land to the putting in OF
the crops has to be done by hand, the
development of the country must neces-
sarily be slow. When this improve
ment is completed it will open up mar
ket for wood, of which they will not be
slow to avail themselves. 1t will give
them an opportunity to turn into money
or provisions that which is now turned
into ashes. They would be glad to fur
nish wood upon the banks of the lake at
from 81 to $l.2O per cord. This, at the
price named, would be of untold benefit
to them as individuals, and hasten the
development of the country many years.
At the price named for the wood any
person might open up profitable and
permanent business. The supply is un-
limited; the demand for wood in this and
other markets to which it could be sent
Is practically so. We think we know of
parties who would make the necessary
investment to open up this business could
they know that the improvement would
certainly be made. Could settlers be as
sured that they could get the price
named for wood. and by wood we mean
beach and maple, either in money or its
equivalent, it would be few years before
all the available land i'm that vicinity
would be under process of improvement.
There are any quantity of men whom, if
they could secure living while clearing
the land. and until their crops can grow,
would commence the pioneer life at once
This. the wood market would give them.
We are not speaking of this theoretically.
We have cOnversed with the homestead
ers themselves; we have been among
them and from observation know their
needs.

NoRrHERN MICHIGAN FRUIT.

The American Pathological Society
held its fifteenth biennial convention i'm
Chicago week before last. The first
prize was won by Michigan fruit. This,
In view of the fact that the winter in
this state was the hardest OH fruit that
has been known for years, is very high
compliment to Michigan as fruit grow
ing state. There was fine collection OF
fruit from Grand Traverse County ex-
hibited by Judge Ramsdell, consisting Of
apples, pears and plums. Side by side
the Grand Traverse fruit was collection
from Nova Scotia, which was noticeable
from the similarity to the Traverse fruit.
Plums are very profitable fruit in
Traverse County. Judge Ramsdell is sell
Ing his at six dollars per bushel. There
seems to us no reason why fruit should
not do well in many places in this county,
There are locations upon our inland lakes
which are equal for fruit raising to any
in Traverse County, where it is raj .ed SO
successfully. Fruit trees of all kinds, to
be successfully grown, must be well
taken care of and properly cultivated.
This is not in accordance with the man
agement of many in this county who
have planted fruit trees. Planting
trees in hard sod ground, and
afterwards paying them no attention OF
bestowing upon them no cultivation, is
not the correct way to raise fruit trees.
Under such management they cannot be
expected to thrive. II they winter kill
tits no more than they would do in any
Couatry. TO insure hardy trees they
must be kept healthy. This can only be
done by proper care and cultivation. We
have no doubt but that there is fortune
awaiting any man who will select good
location upon some of our inland lakes
and devote himself to fruit culture. At
several places upon the shores are apple,
cherry and plum trees, which show a
vigorous and healthy growth, and bear
considerable fruit. The apples are not
of the improved varieties, but they show
that hardy kinds will do we'll AS far as
we are able to judge, fruit of the hardy
varieties will do we'll here. The fact that
trees which have had no care are winter.
killed is no criterion to the contrary.

THE chairman of the Pennsylvania
Democratic Convention, in his opening
speech, declared that sit was the mission
of the Democratic party to observe the
principles of the Constitution, which
thinks nothing but gold and silver con-
stitutional currency and legal tender.
Let us keep specie in our eye as pillar
of cloud by day and of fire by night, un-
til we are prepared to resume" Yet that
convention adopted set of initiation res
olutions, and propably this same chair
main is stumping the state in their favor.
A LITTLE paper in Boston, devoted to
the welfare of sour dumb animals"
praises Edwin Forrest because he was so
fond of dogs and kind to them. 1t
ought also to be stated that he was terri
bly, brutal towards his associates on the
stage, and that he treated his with such
savageness that she got divorce from
him and made him pay about 100000
alimony. Benevolence in men some
times takes queer turns-fiowing out to-
ward cats and dogs, but frozen up toward
human beings.
WE have seldom read anything more
sad than the note carefully written by
Gen. w. K. Kimball, prominent New
England man, just before his suicide:
"There is no need for coroner. i know
what am about. lam sOrrow-stricken
man, of no use to myself nor to my
family. go to the front as volunteer,
not waiting to be drafted by the grim
messenger. God forgive me for the sin,
if it is SIM" There is not a particle of
the grotesque in this. 1t is the brief and
concise confession of despairing mans
failure to fulfill his mission.

THE FIRE LIMITS.
Ought they To be Cont rRctesl hwt
..aittxen' Ihtuks on the subject p
Frames Preferable to mo- Houses.

EDITOR BULLETIN-Dear ST.: 1t NAV
be wise provision in densely popula.
ted and well-built portions of IA city, to
designate certain boundaries within
which no wooden building may be con-
structed;but | doubt whether, when these
boundaries encirclc nearly whole squares
OF vacant lots, that the policy OF enclos-
ing those lots within the fire limits is q
benefit to the city. In Cairo our fire
limits enclose several large vacant places,
composed of from two to eight, ten and
more lots. upon which the owners would.
In most cases, erect substantial wooden
buildings if it could be- done without
having recourse to so much red tape.
Such buildings, in my estimation, would
be preferable to the unsightly vacant
places that lie open in prominent por-
tons of the city. and especially on the
levee.
Considerable nonsense Is INDUCED in
by some, who seem to think that Cairo
should put on the airs of metropolitan
city and have fire limits, by glibly say
Ing, at costs rs much to put up frame
rs brick building." Let those parties
try it, and they will find serious differ
ence in cost and it is this difference that
prevents many houses being erected
within the fire limits that would improve
the looks and business of the city. and
not entail an annual loss on the property
holder in the shape Of taxes on the va
cant lots. lie could at least save that by
a moderate yearly rental for Il good
frame, and be satisfied. Men with small
capital, wishing to do business, cannot
build within those limits, and those with
means will not build when they clearly
see that by so doing they impose upon
themselves heavier loss than the vacant
lots entail The day of the ''big bonan-
"a In real estate and buildings in Cairo
has passed, at least for the present. The
general quietude of trade Is great bar to
costly improvements anG are not
improvements in the shape OF
good frame buildings preferable
to none ut all. ! think they
are, though probably more Ii
able to catch fire; but | think in
finitely less dangerous when on fire than
the hermorphrodte, half brick, half
wooden structures that are built within
the fire limits. When business il good
and the prices of rents will Justify, brick
buildings will be erected, but,under pres
ent circumstances, would it be policy to
put up brick building ut double the
cost of a frame. and be able to get no
more rent for one than the other? |
think the fire limits, as nearly Us posi-
BILE, should be modified so as to permit
those vacant places within the limits be-
ing built on, either brick or frame, at the
option and means Of the owners, Those
eye$orcs would soon be occupied by neat
buildings, and the appearance OF the city
improved thereby.
Yours, truly. CITIZEN.
