Matrimony in Michigan seems
to resemble the exhiIirating game
of puss-in-the-corner. A suscepti-
BILE gentleman in that State having
found an affinity elsewhere than
existing partner ofhisjoys and sor-
rows, and being conditionally ac-
cepted by the new object of his adj
grafton, at once instituted proceed
ings for a divorce; but, brief ss
is the time for that purpose in Mich
igan, his second intended was in
too great a hurry to wait, and mar
ried another sutton on the very day
that his former bonds were sunder-
ed. Thus forestalled in his propos-
ed change of seats, he naturally
tried to run back to the corner he
had just left, and fastened home
with the view of rewedding his
original spouse; but during his alb
sence an alert competitor had step
ped In, and she, too, was provided
with another husband. So now
this doubly disappointed player is,
metaphorically speaking, standing
in the middle Of the community
watching for some neighbor to
leave his wife unmarried fora few
minutes.

The Great Farmer Of the
World.

A Sacramento paper publishes.
the following respecting the farm
ing operations OF man whom it
denominates "the largest farmer
in the world" which, considering
that DIR. Glenn "runs" his farm Of
$4,000 acres himself, personally
experimenting it all, the applica-
ton is correct.
1.-THE great farmer of the world,
DR.. Hugh j. Glenn, of Jacinto,
Colusa county, California, has rails
ed and harvested the past season
on his own arm, $4,000 bushels Of
wheat, This would lOac eighteen
LOO ton ships or three hundred
canal boats. All this wheat he has
now in his own warehouses, ready
for shipment when the water in the
Sacramento river rises sufficiently.
The Doctor pays 100000 freight to
put this wheat in San Francisco.
The Doctor is q wonder to the agri-
cultural world and to himself. He

worth of stock each year, DIR. Glenn
is q practical farmer and manages
all his immense business himself.
He can mend a trace and make a
key to an OK bow with his jacknife
ust as easy as dra wing his check
for 100000, which he can do every
day in the week. DR.. Glenn has
only experienced one surprise dur
ing the year, and that was when a
friend informed him that a panic
had entered the land. Glenn is a
big hearted man was born in Au-
gusta county Virginia, and does
honor to the odd Diminion.' Send

e From the Detroa Free Press
The Old Woman's Treasure.

From tie Detroit Free Press
The Old Woman's Treasure.
An old woman died in lone
house on Croghan street Monday
night. Not one Knew it until yes
terday, when everything looked so
grim and silent around the house,
that the door was burst in and
they found the old woman dead.
She had lived there for years and
years. People knew her yet no one
knew her. Some called her "OlJ
Man," and some thought her a
witch. She never left her yard,
never spoke to any one except to
snarl and growl, and lone sailor
drifting about on the ocean could
not have been more distant from
love and sympathy.
No one ever called twice on "Old
Nan" for charity. Beggars some
times called at her humble door,
but as soon as they saw her witch
like face, bent form and menacing
look, they hurried away marking
the house that they might not call
again. If you had asked any of
the neighbors if the old woman
had a heart-could feel love, pity
or tenderness--if there was any
thing which could get down thro'
the crust Of disappointment, ava
rice and despair, and touch the ma
ture which God gives every wo-
man, they would have laughed in
derision. And yet she had a heart
and it was touched. Death touch
ed it.
She did not die in her bed. She
might have been i'll for three or
four days, but she did not call out
and ask for assistance. Perhaps
she felt her time had come, and
that no human hand could aid her,
and as she felt the weight of its
shadow she was woman again.
There were longings in her heart,
new feelings in her soul ,and no one
can say that she did not weep. She
crept off the bed, made her way to an
old chest, and from its depths she
pulled up an old and tatlered testa-
mont. Between its leaves were two
cards, On one was pinned a lock
of hair, tied with faded ribbon-a
brown, curly lock, such as you
might clip from the head of a boy
offve. In o quaint, old hand was
written on the card the words: =
/" My boy Jamie's hair" On the
other card were pinned three or
four violets, so old and faded that
they looked like paper.
She sat In a chair holding th3
book in her lap, and her stiffeniIg
fingers held those cards up to her
blind eyes. Thus they found her
card in either hand and the holy
book lying open in her lap! The
men, women and children who
had crowded in with the officer
saw how it was, and some ofthem
Wept. Old Nan had heart after
all. She must have been q mother
once and had mothers tender feel
ing. No doubt she was loved and
happy when she severed that brown
curl from its mates, and wrote on
the card, My boy Jamie's hair ~
They removed the precious rel
les very tenderly, and when they
came to look into the face they saw
that it almost wore a smile, and
that the hard lines had all been
rubbed out by the tenderness
which flowed into her heart as
death was laying its hand upon
her.
Who culled those violets? Where
is Jamie?
