The Cash System.

A family living on Franklin street,
numbering seven or eight persons, are
nearly all hard drinkers, and all of them
patronize one saloon. A day or two ago
the saloon-keeper found that the father
was owing him four or five dollars, and
he determined to shut down on the credit
system. When the topper next called in
he was informed of the change of base.
He received the news coolly, asking:
"Don't all my family drink herei"
"They do, was the answer.
"And don't all my family seem to love
me?"
"They do"
"Well," said the old man, "I'll go
home and say to my wife: Betsy, 1 am
going to stop drinking whisky and start
handbook. Chip in with me- She'll
chip, because she loves me. Then I'll
say to Jim /: Jim, if you must drink,
and if the other boys must drink, chip
in and buy your whisky by the barrel,
for its hundred per cent. cheaper
They'll chip, for they'll do as say.
Then the next thing you'll chip out of
here, the sheriff will chip your things
for debt, and you'll be chopped up
chip"
"You don't owe me anything" replied
the saloon-keeper, drawing his pencil
across the account. "Now, then, whatu
you have ?"-Detroit Free Press.

Dolan's Good Fortune.

Ed. Dolan, of Marshall, conductor Of the
Michigan Central way freight is il luck. The

that his wife was heir to $3.50, 900 in real estate
bank stock and money, by the death Of her
father, Thomas Cody. ed" has resigned
his position as conductor, and will start in
few weeks for Australia to look after his
wife's inheritance. Thomas Cody, who was
rather singular sort of an Irishman
left Marshall at the time of the first gold
excitement in California for the new Eldorado.
After remaining in California FOR many years
he departed for Australia. His wife and daugh-
ter heard from him but few ii mes after he
left Marshall-once through gentleman who
returned to Marshall from Australia, and who
reported Cody to be still living, and possessed

one Thos. Cody, and advertised for heirs Of
his estate, which, according to the laws of that
country, would 60 to the Government after hav-

for the crime Of forgery. Cody left no will.
BY some means chance copy of the Australian
paper fell into the hands Of Dolan. He put the
matter into the hands of lawyers, who for

long delay he received the letter, as stated
above, from the American consul, who gave
him full information in regard to Cody's estate

The opsnina proceedings in the Uni
teS Gls6S GcSo1o in the Belknap i'm
p6nnhmsnt (says The Washington CORE
spondent Of The New York 1rs0rne)
vws very dull I'D commonplace. Those
Who saw TIE same ceremony IN the I'M
voochment OF. Andrew johnson on the
Al OF March, 1888, could not help con-
trasting the two scenes. At that time
the Senate was crowded to degree never
before equaled, and the scene was an
impressive one. Thaddeus Stevens,
scarcely able on account OF his feeble
condition to stand on his feet, headed
the list of managers, and he was borne
into the chamber In chair carried by
the strong arms of his two constant at
tendants. He was followed by John A.
Bingham, Benz. F. Butler, Geo. 3. Bout
we'll. James f. Wilson, Thomas Williams,
and john A. Logan, the other managers,
amid silence rarely known in the his
tory of Congress. Every Senator was
in his seat, and the great crowd in the
galleries and upon the floor seemed
scarcely to move muscle. The I'M
parchment articles were read by Mr..
Bingham, ali the managers except Mr..
Stevens standing during the ceremony
in front of the President of the Senate.
At the opening of the Belknap case
the galleries we're only half full, and the
attendance of Senators was small. Even
those present were Indifferent to the pro-
ceedings. Some read papers; some
wrote at their desks some walked about
the chamber few paid attention to what
was going on. The managers on the
part of the House, not in appearance a
very striking body, whatever may be
their ability, struggled into the chamber
without order or arrangement, and after
they were received by the presiding Off
Ger with the accustomed rap of the gavel
and formal greeting, they struggled to
their seats on the left of the chair.
Then Mr.. Lord, who heads the mana
gers, rose and read the long articles OF
impeachment in low, clear voice. To
the reading nobody, not even the record
reporters, listened. When Mr.. Lord
had finished, the president pro tenn. said
that due notice would be taken on the
part of the Senate, and the managers
withdrew. This was the whole ceremo-
ny, which was, if possible, more stupid
and unimpressive than the ordinary pro-
ceedings of the Senate.
