Yet, tits not death we celebrate.
Nor yet decrepitude, nor wan decay.
The shouts with which the nation greets the
Day
Are fuil of lusty life, and faith in Fate.
Time has not lessened, but increased our might;
No spectre rises, but a giant, armed
For peaceful fight.
These are not evening shades that dim the

'Tis morning, and the risen sun has charmed
Away the dismal night.

Yet nature gives no heed;
The great sun rises, shines and sets,
Unmindful Of the joy or grief that frets
Our bosoms as he keeps his way,
The ancient Ocean cares more Tor the Weeds

Than for mans aspirations or his needs;
The silent stars ignore
Us and onr destiny; the gathering storm
Abates no threat; the seasons pass, and warm
And freeze us as they tild before.

The American Party.

This noble name was tarnished by the
Know-Nothings, and has never been used
as party designation since 1850 until
the present year. In several sections of
the state there Were American party
tickets cast, bearing the names of James
B.Walker,so ,sof Illinois, for President, and
Daniel Fitzpatrick, of New York, for Vice
President, with IL electors, not one of
whom is generally known, and eight of
them are designated only by initials, so
that the vote would count for nothing
any way. The Adrian Times says that in
Lenawee county six of these ballots were
cast. The returns thus far received by
the Secretary of State shows that the ag-
gregate vote Of this American party I'M IS
counties amounts to ~. The aim of this
organization is to put down all secret So
cieties. 1t was never heard of in Cheboy-
gan, where the evils Of secret societies
ought to be felt, If anywhere, for there
are large number of members of secret
societies among our citizens.

The suggestion made by the TRIBUNE
last week in regard to a reading room,
has met with the approval of large
number of our citizens, and we doubt not
that was the matter pushed little, that
a sufficient number Of members could be
obtained to make the reading club sue

room at the disposal of such an organiza-
ton during the winter, free of expense.
We hope that some one will take hold of
this matter energetically and secure
enough members, that Mrs, Smart,ssgen-
erous offer can be accepted. There
should be means enough secured to OBJ

To Keep Eggs for Winter.

A correspondent of the New York
Times details a novel method of keeping
eggs. The eggs must be perfectly fresh.
Wrap each egg in a newspaper or other
soft paper, twisting each end of the pa
pei. SOFT cannot loosen from the egg;
take a bag of coarse muslin, made in the
shape of pillow-slip, pucker up one end
in your han and tie a strong string
around it tightly, leaving the ends long
enough to tie loop; place your eggs in
this bag, putting the eggs end downward.
1t does not matter which end, but you
must be sure not have them Oh the side.
About fifty is a good number to put in
one bag. Then pucker up the open end
of the bag firmly against the eggs and
and tie It UP like the other end. Bevery
sure to use twine. Hang them up in a
cool place, and turn them up-side-down
every day, hanging first from one loop,
then from the other. have eaten eggs
kept five months in this way, and they
were not, in the least musty. and could
not be told from new-laid ones. The
meat of the egg was full to the she'll"
As the New York Times is one of the
best posted political papers i'm the
country, we will take it fer granted that
its information is correct upon the egg
question. The great trouble in this
place, however, would be to secure the
fresh eggs to put in the bag. ~.

The official returns for presidential
electors and the leading state officers are
complete, excepting in six counties.
They show 24.ses majority for Hayes
over Tilden; 22,172 tor Croswell over
Webber for Governor; 24,446 for Holden
over House for Secretary Of State, 20,772
forP artridge over Fenton for Land Com
missioner Nice Creery for Treasurer has
1925 majority, and the highest aggregate
vote, being 1,175 more than Holden, who
is next highest but who bas the largest
majority. For Auditor General, Ely has
l6,O4O over Holloway. lMcCreery and
Ely had to run against "double team,'
and came out ,splepdidly. The six coun-
ties to hear from gave in 1874 for Bagley
1924, for Chamberlain 1,611, which taken
as basis, would indicate that the above
majorities will be still further increased.

Some weeks since it was noted IN this
paper that Mr.. Windsor Beal had erect
ed building and started hotel for the
accommodation of lumberman and
others, on Little Pigeon river. Last
Thursday afternoon the building
caught fire and was burned to the
ground. Mr.. Beal succeeded in
getting the contents out of the build.

We understand that Thompson Smith
has offered Mr.. Beal the necessary lum-
Der to rebuild with, free of expense. The
building will soon be re-erected, and
with the exception of the interruption in
his business, Mr.. Beal will be all right
again.

Voting Did Them No Good.

The counties Of Mackinaw. Chippews
and Schoolcraft had no voice i'm the elec.
ton OF President this year. The returns
for those counties failed to reach the
State Board Of Canvassers i'm time, and
therefore were not counted. The canvass
on the state officers was adjourned few
weeks to see if they would not come in. 1t
seems to us that all three of counties the
named might have had their returns i'm
had the county officials been prompt in
their duty, and taken little pains in
sending the returns forward. -

The Importance Of a Single vote.

In the late election the importance of a
single vote has been very, clearly shown
in many instances. In California Dem.
ocratic candidate for Congress was de-
feated by one vote. y In Oakland county
in this state a Democratic Clerk was
elected by one vote, the Sheriff by five,
and the Judge of Probate by eight. In
many other counties there were equally
close contests. In our own county the
Republicans lost their Judge Of Probate
by fifteen votes, and in Mackinaw county
by twelve votes. In either, the Republi-
cans might have elected their candidates
had they looked sharply. enough after
the Siilgle votes. Sh 1TA h=ddSn

The condition of affairs in the SOutf

far as reaching any definite result con-
corning the Presidential election is con
cerned. or course the determination O
the question is just that much nearer
but the facts whereby correct judgment
of the matter may be found seem just al
far off as ever. The situation in

is getting somewhat exciting. The Su-
preme Court of the state has fined the
members of the Returning Board $l,5Ol
apiece and committed them to Jail for an
alleged contempt of count in making
the canvass as they did. The Board re-
fuses to purge itself of the contempt. be-
cause they claim to have acted in strict

and the military was placed at his dis
posal to keep the peace. The Legisla-
ture met last Tuesday in accordance with

presented themselves. but were refused
admittance, whereupon the eutire Demo-
cratic delegation refused to take part in

Republicans went on and organized, The
Democrats will probably do. the same.
and soon there will be two state govern
ments in that state, anil il will remain

gitimate government. We may look for
exciting news from this quarter before
another week is past. In ,.r. oa

the Returning Beard have not yet COM
pleted their .lpbers, but the indications
are strongly i'm favor of the election of
the Hayes electors. The Chicago Times
comedies that the state has gone Repub-
lican, and that paper5nOw expects That
Florida is to give 'rilden the requisite
majority to place him ut the head Of
the nation. The latest news which
we have received from the state of
20 FLORIDA
is of the date of Nov. 2Sth and says that
Governor Stearns claims that the f;lce OF
the returns will shaw fOrty-two majority
for Hayes. This estimate includes the.
2l9 Alachua votes, which it seems TO be
agreed will not be counted. anu the II
votes of the acknowledged eyer-count
in Jefferson county, which will certainly
not be counted. Admitting these 23l
votes the Democrats claim a majority of
lS1 for Ti,den. There is not difference
OF 10 votes between any of the Republi.
can electors. This shows that the con-
test Is decidedly close which ever way it
goes. but that the chances are decidedly
in favor of Hayes.

A Beautiful Sight.

Thanksgiving day has come and gone,
and with It many happy hours to many
different families. We are glad to note
that i'm this village there were some who
did not forget the poor, in, their enjoy
ment and thankfulness over the blessings
which had been vouchsafed to them.
There was one beautiful sight which
came under our observation, which will
not seen be forgotten. Quite early in
the ~ ing little girl, apparently not
over FOR seven years of age, the daugh.
teri lone of our leading citizens, was
seen trudging through the snow and
storm, hauling after her. her little sleigh,
piled full of packages. She stopped at
the door of poor widow, and there left
her load. The little child had carried joy
and thanksgiving into a @esplate home,
Verify it is more blessed to give than to
receive.

successful in promoting rapid improve
ment in his pupils. From the express
sions which we have heard, we think
there are a large number in the village
desiring such Instruction. L He has mot
as yet perfected permanent arrangements
in regard to terms, time or place of in
struction, but as soon as the details are
arranged, we are informed that due no
tice will be given through the papers.
We hope that many will avail them
selves of this opportunity, as there is no
branch of instruction which has been so
much neglected i'm this place in the edu-
cation Of the children as vocal music. 1t
is, doubtless, because there has not
been chance to secure the necessary
