Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1875-06-23

An interesting discovery was re-
Gently made near Rome, Italy. In
digging up garden, some work
men unearthed some terra Gotta
vases, which they at first supposed
to contain treasure. On breaking
them, however, two live toads were
found clad in green velvet. This
strange attire showed that they
must be at least 200 years old, as
ancie mt treaties on magic and de-
monology mentions that at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth centu-
~ sorcerers dressed up toads in
this manner for the achievement Of
certain charms.

he evidently had his hand in the
strap, and the tug awoke him.
The reader knows the rest of the
story told by Scott. After the
smith and his son had quilted the
room,- with what they supposed
was the peddler's valise, Steele's
mind misgave him, and a dread
that Scott had been overseer OF
the bloody deed, and would recog-
nize the perpetrators, seized him.
He hurried back to the room,
resolved to brain Scott if he found
him awake. On discovering the
bed empty, the smith dropped his
hammer in alright, the only ex-
PLANTATION to his mind of SCOTS
absence being that he had witness
ed the crime and Quilted the place
secretly to give the alarm. The
smith and his son departed panic
stricken, and on reaching home
discovered to their intense mortifi-
cation and disappointment, that
the valise for which they had muir
dered q man and exposed them
selves to the gallows, contained
only few old clothes and Bible.
Steele and his son were hanged
at York, December s, 1887.

A poet says: 81 saw my love in
dreams last night, Pass up the moon
lit lands, and round me, as | nearer
stepped, ] felt her soft arms steal
and fold, While close against my
heart she crept, Just as Of old. =
That's pretty nice sort of a dream;
much more pleasant than to dream
about seven-headed monsters with
forked tails and flaming eyes, chas-
ing the dreamer over a precipice
two miles high. But still, the poet
must have eaten half a barrel of
sour krout just before retiring,
which didn't agree with him.

Among the passengers on the
train was lady who carried large
basket. The conductor decided
that the baggage was entirely too
cumbersome to be allowed in the
car, and politely informed her that
she would be obliged to remove it
TO the baggage car. As he was
about Selling the basket the lady
showed him q picture, TIE sight Of

ducing change in his feelings

The writer Of this had poetry in
his soul: "You may go on inven-

flashing in and out of the sparkling
suds as she humps wet towel up
and down the washboard."

CONCLUSION.

S0NILtSAuNs
sthis will be the last annual message
which shall have the honor OF transmit.
ting to Congress before my SUCCESSOR il
Chosen,l will repeat or recapitulate the
point which ] deem OF vital Importance
which should be legisIated upon and
settled at this session.
First.-That the States shall 10 re-
quired to afford the opportunity OF a
good common school education to every
child within their limits.
Second.-That no sectarian tcnets will
be taught in any school supported in
whole or part by the State, nation, or by
the proceeds Of any tax levied upon any
community. Make education COmpulso-
ry 30 far as to deprive all persOns who
cannot read and write from becoming
voters after 1890, disiranChiSing none
however on the grounds Of illiteraCy who
may be voters ut the time this amend.
ment takes effect.
Third. Declare Church and State for
ever separate and distinct, but each free
within their proper sphere, and that all
church property shall bear its own pro-
portion Of taxes.
Fourth. Drive out licensed immortality,
such as polygamy and the importation Of
women for Legitimate purposes. To re.
cur again to tho centennial year, 1t would
seem now as we are about to begin the
second century Of our NatiOna al existence
would be a most fitting time for these re.
forms.
Filth, Enact such laws Us will in
sure speedy return TO a sound cur
rency, such Ns will command the conf.
dence OF the world. Believing that
these views will commend themselves
to the great majority Of right thinking
and patriotic citizens OF the United States,
! submit the rest to Congress.

The Value Of Having Ones Wits
About One.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says
Everything worked smoothly, accurate
" and amusingly at Maeauley's last
night, until the tragic scene vas pre-
scented in Senator Dilwortbv's luxurious
parlors at Washington. Miss Person
had succeeded admirably In putting
herself IN the place of the wrOngeds IN
suited, maddened Laura Hawkins, and
in an intensely tragic attitude, sustained
with an expression of frenzy and despair
that seemed verify real, confronted her
deceivsr and destroyer, the wTetched,
twice married Col. Selby, with the pis-
toll pointed level at his head. As she
cried the sentence in tone OF desDera-
ton, ssIt is death, 4" she slightly WINGED
and pulled the trigger. But the weapon
failed fire. The cap didn't explode,
and the "snap' was audible. The sit
uatioE became embarrassing. What
could she do? The screA1n-the cry OF
madness, of remorse, of fear, must
quickly follow the fatal shot, and the
victim must fall dead at the woman S
feet. But there was no report, no cry,
no fall. A second must not be lost.
The effect must be preserved, and
quickly the unfaithful weapon was hid
within the folds of her dress, and as
quickly reappeared, cleaning under
the rejection of the brilliant chsnde-
Tiers, this time brandished as 6 dagger
Ger the head of the heroine. With a
cry of rage that was thrilling in the ex-
IRENE, and with a movement that
reached the height of tragic demonstra-
ton, she rushed upon the villain,
thTusting the weapon against his side.
At the moment OF contact the wounded
man uttered loud cry of pain and des-
pair and fell, dying instantly at the feet
of his slayer.
