For a patter, patter, patter,
Ofa iooistep ou the stair. ~
Now those little feet are silent,
And the face Il hidden low
Underneath the meadow grasses,
Aud the daisies fragrant snow
And miss them In the morning,
Paticring feet, and face so iair--
But listen most at bedtime, r...
For tho footstcp on the stnir.
Then she'd come and knoll beside me
In her little gown Of whiio.
And she'd say her short prayer over,
sisllAnd would kiss me sweet good night.
NdAnd ! listen In the twilight, ,ith 7la. 0

Hon Judge Holman of Indiana is stop
ping with his family at the Old Mission.
We also notice the names of Gems. Welt
eel, Poe and Haynes of the engineer de-
partment who are on an inspecting tour
of light houses.
Gen. Whipple adjutant general on Gen.
Shermans staff is on the island. The Gen.
eral is on pleasure excursion and is ac-
companied by his wife, accomplished
daughter and two sons. He arrived from
Lake Superior ports. It is not known
how long he will remain. Gen. Whipple
during the war was adjutant general on
Gen. Thomas staff.
Hon. Mr.. Burchard Of Wisconsin, who
has been on a fishing excursion to Lake
Superior Ishpeming also tarried with us
few DAYS. From the report Of his nu-
mer0us friends whom we met on the is
land we can only say that the country is
not likely to suffer at his hands when he
takes his seat in the next Congress. Mr..
Burchard reports having caught a speck-
led trout twenty three inches long, with a
girth of eleven and half inches. This
story was told to his friends in Mackinac
many of fwbom were somewhat credulous,
but as Mr.. Burchard had with him Rev.
Mr. Reed of Milwaukee and Mr.. Jermain
an ex-Sherif of the same state. we suppose|
we are bound to believe it.

MAIL MATTERs.-Since writing the
item last week regarding the mail facili-
ties of Cheboygan, facts have come to
our knowledge which renders it safe for
us to state that within week or ten days
the change then spoken of as necessary
will be made. For some time past cor
respondence has been in progress be-
tween Postmaster Brace and the Postof-
flee Department in regard to getting the
mail direct from Petoskey. Last week
he was informed that if the change could
be made without additional expense that
it would. Mr.. P. M. Lathrop, the con-
tractor at once signified his willingness
to make the change i'm his contract, and
signed papers to that effect. The order
to make the change will probably come
within the week. This will save day
each way in the departure and arrival of
mails. AT the same time it is probable
that change in the mail days will also
be made, making them the alternate days
from at present.

IN MEN ORIAM.
Death of eD-President AndreW
johnson

Death of ec-President Andrew
johnson.
Ex-President Andrew johnson died on
the morning of the 31st of July, at the
residence of his daughter in Carter Coun-
ty, Tenn. His disease was combination
of paralysis and heart disease. He was
in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He
was emphatically self-made man, being
the representative of the "poor whites !"
of the south among the Presidents He
commenced life tailor, and by his own
ability and unaided eXertions advanced
step by step through every civil Office
until he reached that of Vice President of
the United States. a month later,
through the assassin Booth, he became
President. We have neither disposition
or space at this time to review the ex-
cited controversies of Mr.. Johnson's
Presidential term. His life was emphat-
icaily a public one. He began his public
carer before he had reached his majority,
and with the exception OF the last SIX
years was almost constantly in office. 1t
is hard to say how much of active and in
fluential life has been cut off by his sud-
den demise. He began full Senatorial
term the 4th of last March, but he had
not indicated to any certainty just what
his future course would be. Mr.. john
son had many warm personal friends to
whom his death will be a sad loss, for they
still expected much of him. Whatever
were his faults, and they were many, in
the time of the eountry's direst troubles,
he was patriot, and for this he should
and will receive the kindliest remem-
brance from all his countrymen, political
friends and foes alike.

The steamer Marine City landed consid-

We understand that Capt. Benniss Rich
ards has sold out the Duncan House,
stock and billiard tables. together with the
good will Of the business, to Alexander
McCarter of the Meat Market House. The
Duncan House d!d not pay very well this
season but, it is supposed that Mr.. McCar-
ter with his humorous countenance will
make better success oft.
Those among us who went the $500"
excursion on the Marine City, came home
well pleased with their trip. The scenery
along the Sault river, "Soo" Canal and the
fort seemed to make quite favorable i'm
preston on them. They speak highly of
the courtesy shown them by the officers
of the boat ard particularly Of Mr.. Nc
Clintock the chief steward who exerted
himself considerably to make the trip en-
joyable to the excursionists.

water shed that may be described by
drawing curved line starting from Lit
tie Traverse Bay, including a, part of
Emmett, Otsego, Montmorency Counties,
and the whole of Cheboygan County.
The area so includedis the equivalent of
fifty-three townships, or 1908 square
miles. The principal rivers have nu-
merous tributaries, thus affording we'll
watered country. The land has roll
ing surface, diversified with tracts of
white and Norway pine, and of beech
and maple, interspersed with hemlock.
Cedar swales are numerous, and are lit
orally packed with fence and telegraph
poles, which, however, are not yet cut
into lengths. A very large extent of the
area mentioned possesses soil well
adapted to farming purposes. With in
creasing value of timber this wealth of
forest can be easily utilized by means of
such ample water communication.
TO all this extent of country Cheboy-
gan is the natural outlet. The village
now numbers a population of above
2,o0O, is the county seat and in winter is
the distributing point for mails and pas
sengers for Mackinaw, Prentice Bay,
Deteur and points along St Mary's
River. The site of Cheboygan is all that
can be desired. The lower part Of the
village rests on a bed of clay, the surface
of which is covered with fertile mould
that is easily cultivated. By boring to
the depth of from thirty to sixty feet ex-
cellent flowing wells can be obtained.
The central and upper parts of the vii
lage rest on higher level, the soil of
which consists Of gravel formation
mix ed with clay.

AGROUND. = The schooner David
Wells, bound up loaded with coal, got
aground early yesterday Friday) morn
ing, about one mile below the light
house. The captain and crew came up
to this place for assistance. The tug
Bismarck returned with them to give
what aid she could, but on account of a
heavy sea running, she was unable to
render any assistance, and returned to
this port. She will return as soon as the
sea goes down, with lighter to lighter
the schooner of. The vessel fortunately
run on bed of sand so that no great
danger is apprehended, but had she
struck short distance above or below,
where the bottom is rocky she would
doubtless have met with serious injury.
