During the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors last Wednesday. the Loo n
Commissioner of the inlandl Ike improve
ment, as provided for by law, presented
his bill for the Ipense of the survey of
the same, so far as had been incurred to
that date. The total amount was $57I16
OF whish hale was apportioned to this
and half to the county of Emmett. The
expense tor the amo int Of work which has
been accomplished was low, indeed the
Board found notTthe least fault with it.,
but by a unanimous vote aud.
tied it, and directed that orders be
drawn on the treasurer for the amount.
The only question that was raised before
was where fine moEey was to come from
to pay it, there having been no special
appropriation made for this purpose.
This objt ioa, however, had very little
weight with the Board for they voted to
pay the bill. The orders We're made out
by the clerk after the adjournment of the
Board, and presented to the chairman,
Supervisor Wiley, for his signture.9 This
gentlemen signed orders for all oil er &C.
counes which had been allowed, but re-
fused to sign these, upon the ground
named, that no special appropriation had
been made for the payment Of this money.
Now we ask is this right? There was
no question about the business of the ac-
count. Tie work has been honestly done.
and the parties who did it need their
pay for it. They should have it. There
is money enough in the treasury Of Che
boygan county to pay it. Five-sixths of
the Board Of SUPERVISORS by their vote
said pay it. One man who happens to
have the power in bis hands says it shall
not be paid. We maintain that under
the law it is his duty to sign those orders
and tina: by his refusal to sign the orders,
violated the law that he has sworn to
obey.
As we understand Mr.. Wiley's D ,sition.
he is willing to sign the orders payable a
year hence, or is willing TO issue coun-
ty bond which can be sold, and then he
will sign the order for the payment of
this account. Let us look at the matter.
There is money enough in the treasury,
Or provided for, to pay the expenses of
the county the coming year. Then with
the payment OF this bill there would no
doubt be enough to last Until about next
November at least. Then if there is not
enough, let the county borrow Zoo for
sixty days. Is there any use of paying
interest Tor money as long as there is
money in the county treasury. 1t would
simply be borrowing $500 now and pay
ing interest on it whole year, because
we think, next November we may want
that amount of money. We do not think
it would lie the correct thing to make the
people pay Interest on money while they
have money in the treasury lying idle.
1t would simply be throwing away about
$25 of the peoples money. The accounts
should be paid at once. 1t is winter and
the men need the money that they have
earned. The faith of the county is
pledged to pay it. Is it right, just, or
honest, for one man to defeat the wishes
of the people.

Tho Evening News.

The prospectus OF this live little Detroit
daily appeared last week, but want of
time prevented us from referring to it as
its merits deserve. The NeUs is emphat-
ically newspaper, and a Michigan paper
at that. 1t has met with greater success
as far as circulation is concerned, than
any other paper i'm the state, or we might
say i'm the west. 1t has been severely
criticised. This is an indication that
there is life and energy in it. tits cheap

he reasons why everybody takes and
reads it.

worship Of those who still think there
is no salvation for the country outside
of the Administration caucus. 1t was
this which caused general rejoicing
among honest people when Dawes was
elected from Massachusetts instead of
some such dangerous man as Adams;
and which occasioned general disnlay
when Judge Christiancy was chosen by
Democratic votes to succeed Mr.. Chatl-
dler. 1t isthe only weapon now WELD
ed by the Administration leaders, and
1T docs not seem possible that 1t could
last much longer. Vet while 1t Is flour
ished 1t seems effectuaI to prevent the
only proceeding which the country
now nesis-the common consent of all
men of good will to supportlgoOal men
and good measures, without regard to
their party designations, and without
asking whit any caucus has resolved.
Honest and sincere Republicans, by
hesitating to do this, are merely prepar-
ing a. Democratic partisan victory in
1876.

THE PIANO OF THE FUTURE.

n new thing in music! 1t has recent
~ been ascertained that by the applica-
ton of electric communication any
number Of pianos can bc performed
upon simultaneously by tho person who
touches tho keys of fthe central one. 1t
is proposed by this means to I'LL every
nook and corner of tho Centennial Ex-
position buildings with melody. In
fact tho discovery or invention, which
ever it Ia, was arrived ut by some &C.
MUS who Vas delving about for sonle-
thing with which to create n Centennial
sensation. The idea is, of course, u
novel one, and brims over with, sugges-
tiVcness. Lot there be u mammoth in
strument located in a city upon the
same principle rs our gas tanks and
water reservoirs. The community
might tax itself for tho purpose, and
issue municipal music bonds. Then let
there be a musician engaged both day
and night to manipulate tho keys. BY
II system of telegraphic connection
every parlor that could boast of II piano
would echo tho refrain. The flow of
melody would, of course, he subject to
son,o sort of valve, and could DO turned
Oft or on at pleasure, just as we do our
gas and water. a meter might be NO
constructed us to indicate the number
OF fect of music furnished in given
time. Truly, an era in pianO-playing
is drawing upon us. When the thing
is all perfected, it will no longer mat

Lent viii begin this year on the 10Th
Of February, much earlier than during
any year since 1863. This will bring
the high festival Of Easter this year on
the 2Sth of March, which is within six
days of the earliest period upon which
il can ever possibly occur. Easter in
SOME year, falls ;tS late rs the 18th of
April. As many as nine Sundays some
years intervene between Epiphany and
Ash Wednesday, but this year only
five Sundays occur between the jubilee
Of Epiphany and solemn season of Lent.

like getting up in life. If you crawl
timidIy out of bed, go on tip-toc to the
stove, and allow the shivers to get con
troll OF you before the kindling starts,
your fire will probably bc n faiIurc,and
you will half freeze to death in the OPP

hustle around, pull on your clothes,
knock over chair or two, and pitch in
the stove-wood, you will probably be
too warm by the time the fire gets to
burning, and have open a window. So
in life. Attack it tinidiy and you
will fail. Grapple with it, hurry up
things, stir around, conquer fortune,
and you will be success.
