WHY He Wasn't Elected.
From the Detroit Free Press.


The candidate who didn't get enough
votes to elect him the other day is
out on the street now, wearing the look
of an injured man. AS he turns q cor
ner he meets Jones, and Jones says:
"Ah! Well, I'm sorry for you; I'd
have bet money that you would 90 in
by 500 majority"
My majority would have been twice
that if some bastard hadn't started the
rumor that I was opposed to educa-
tlon," replies unsuccess III.
"They lied about you, ell ?"
"Lied Why, they told the most
outrageous falsehoods the human mind
could conceive I've got q clue, and
you look ozlt for three or four civil suits
for damages.
Turning the next corner he meets
Davis, and Davis yells out:
"Hellowl 1 see. you aren't dead
yet! Well, I'm sorry for you; I wanted
to see you go In"
"And I should have been elected
straight as string if my name on the
ticket hadn't been spelled wrong. That

Old People i'm Michigan.

It appears from the State census that
there were eighteen people in Michigan
In 1874 who claimed to be over one
hundred years of age. The oldest put
his age at one hundred and ten. His
name is BAIL Harrison; he lives at
Prairie Ronde, aud his occupation is
that of farmer. He says he was one
hundred and ten years and ten days;
to this is added "truth.' Another
called himself one hundred and seven,
another one and five, another one hun
dred and four. OF the four mentioned
not one of them appeared in the United
States census of 1870, showing either
negligence on the par OF the United
States Marshals or an uncertainty then
in regard to their ages, which makes
their present claims suspicious. Of the
eighteen eight were widowers, six were
married, and the condition of four was
not known, but they were, it is be-
lieved widowers.

The Russian Sable.

The most fashionable and costly of
all furs is the Russian sable-the skin
of the Mustela Zibellina, which is about
three or four times as large as the com
mon weasel, to which family it belongs.
A choice skin of the sea otter or black
fox may command higher price than
one Of Russian sable, but the cost of the
latter will be greater on account of
its smaller size. The fur of the Rus
sian sable is brown in summer, with
some gray spots on the head, and may
be distinguished from all other furs by
the hairs turning and lying equally well
IN any direction. In winter, when the
animal is usually taken, the color
OF the fur IS beautiful black.
The darkest skins are the most
valuable. In its natural condition,
the fur has bloomy appearance; but
dyed sables generally lose their gloss,
and the hairs become twisted or crisped.
Sometimes the skins are blackened by
being smoked, but the deception is ex-
posed by the smell and the crisped hairs.
A dyed or smoked fur may be de-
tected easily by rubbing it with
moist linen cloth, which will
then become blackened. It is said.
however, that the Chinese dye the sa
bles, and give them permanent color
without destroying the gloss: in this
case the fraud may be detected by the
crispe1 hairs. The best skins are OBJ
tanned In Yakutsk, Kamtschatka and
Russian Lapland. Only about
twenty-five thousand are annually taken,
and these command extraordinary
prices, the average price of a raw skin
being about 1874, while choice
"crown" Russian sable will sell for
$500. But few of these furs reach the
English Or American market. The
chief demand is in Russia, where the
use OF the sable is monopolized by the
imperial family and the nobility, by
whom it is chiefly used for lining for
civic robes. coats, &C., and for LADIES'
sets.-Appleto,as' american Cyclopg-

A. Woman Tailor.

Mrs. D. w. G.. Jones, the jailor OF
Hudson. county N. j., is the only
woman in the State holding official posi-
ton. Her husband, who was soldier
in the Federal Army, had been jailor
for five years. Three years ago he died,
and his widow was elected by the Board
of Chosen Freeholders to the position
of his unexpired term, and was after
ward reelected to a full term. At
torney General Vanatta, few weeks
ago, on application of J. Fl. Lippincott,
counsel to the Board of Freeholders,
decided that no woman could hold Of
fetal position, and an effort was made to
remove her. A two-third vote was re-
CURED, however, and it being impossi-
BILE to secure this the effort failed.
Some members of the Board held, how
ever, that since she holds the Office H.
legally, the county is without TAILOR,
and that no removal is necessary. Ac-
cordingly, at the last meeting oe the
board, a motion to go into the election of
anew iailor was made and carried. Seven
or eight candidates were nominated, and
the votes were SO divided up between
them that no choice could be made.
Since the agitation begun Mrs. Jones
has become an object Of sympathy to
the leaders of the woman suffrage move
ment, and has been in receipt Of letters
from number of them urging her not
to surrender her position except at the
command of court Of justice. She
has taken counsel in the matter, and
will contest her right to hold the office
in the courts of the state. Another
effort will probably be made at the next
meeting of the board to GUST her. ~sfs

suggests that, In cases OF nen being
accidentally buried in the earth, who
frequently survive some time before
completely suffocated, iron pipes, of the
sort used for drive wells, should be
driven down just at the edge of the soft
earth until the proper depth is reached;

be forced down to sustain life until the

The Petrifed Forest in Nevada.

From David Rideout, who has been
engaged in preparing section of q pet
rified tree for the Centennial Exhibit
ton, we learn the following relative to
the petrifed forest in the desert of
Northwestern Humboldt. On the plain,
about thirty miles west of the Black
rock range of mountains, stands one of
the greatest natural curiosities ever dis
covered in Nevada. It is petrifed
forest, in which the stumps of many of
the trees, now changed into solid rock,
ere still standing. There are no living
trees or vegetation of any kind other
that stunted sage-brush in the vicinity.
Some of those ancient giants of the for
est which fourished perhaps thousands
of years ago, when the climate of Ne
vada was undoubtedly more favorable for
the growth of luxuriant vegetation than
at present, rival in size the big trees of
California. Stumps, transformed into
solid rocks, stand in an upright posi-
ton with their roots imbedded in the
soil, as when growing, measured from
fifteen to twenty feet in circumference;
the ground In the vicinity is strewn
with the trunks and limbs which retain
their natural shape and size. Mr.. Ride
out determined to secure a section of
one of these trees for the Centennial
Exhibition, with two other men spent
twelve days in cutting it from the
stump. This was accomplished by
drilling all around the tree and separa-
ting it with wedges. The specimen is
three feet high and eighteen in circum-
ference, and its estimated weight is three
tons. 1t stands on the stump from
which it was severed, ready to be loaded
on wagon. Mr.. Ri6eout does not feel
able to incur the expense of bringing
it by team to the railroad, though he
had once made arrangements to do so.
He is anxious to call the attention of
the Centennial Commissioners to the
matter, and see if they will not furnish
the means to get it to the railroad. The
country in which it is situated is an in
viting field for biologists.

special says that one of the special
agents of the Pension Office has just
returned from the West, and his re-
port made to the Commissioner, dis
closes a remarkable series of wholesale
deceptions practiced on the govern
ment. He found parties in receipt of
pensions who were not disabled from
earning their living, and who could
show no trace of wounds or of impaired
health. Numerous cases were also
discovered of parties personating dead
men, and of women falsely represent
ing themselves as the widows of de-
ceased soldiers, and drawing pensions
as such. The Commissioner now states
that he is convinced that the govern
ment is annually paying from $3, ,OOO,-
900 to 100000 to these fraudulent
claimants.
