The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1876-10-19

WHEN Seth got home from mackerel-
ing he sought his Sarah Ann, and found
that she, the heartless one, had found
another man. And then most awful
tight he got, and so he went away, and
bound himself to cut live oak all down
in Floriday. He pinned upon the live
oak land, he murmured in the shades;
his ak grew heavy in his hand, all in the
wildwood glades. Mosquitoes bit him
everywhere, no comfort did he get, and
how terribly he'd swear whenever he got
bit. At last, despairing of relief, and
wishing himself dead, he went into the
woods piece and chopped off his own
head.
IT is in the historic records of the
noble village of Sedgetown, in Lincoln
shire, that the vicar always preached the
same sermon, and they desired change.
1t was of no use to demonstrate with
him, for he invariably replied that when
they had done all he had told them in
that discourse he would give them
another. At last deputation waited
upon the bishop and laid the matter be-
fore him. They had heard the same
sermon, they said, every Sunday morning
for ten years, and were tired of it. His
Iordship owned that a little variety
might fairly be insisted upon after so
long a season of monotony, and asked
what was the subject of this ever-recur-
ring sermon. "Subject?" repeated the
first parishioner. "Iet me see. tits
about--what is it about, HigginsW
"Well," said the second parishioner, 81
don't mind exactly what it is about"
"What was the textp None of them
could tell him the text. "Why, then,"
said the bishop, "I hardly know how to
frame my remOnstrance. Suppose you
20 and hear it once more"

THE FARMERS SONG.

We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up hill or down;
We care not for the marble halls
Nor yet his heaps Of gold
We would not own his sordid ear
For all the wealth twice told.
We are the favored ones Of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn;
We sow, we reap the golden grain;
We gather in the corn;
We toll, we live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear Of starving millions round,

ACCORDING to the Lumleian lecture of
DIR. Quinn, an eminent English physician,
enlargement of the heart is more than
twice as frequent in men as in women,
the precise proportion being eight to
three. This he thinks unquestionably
due to the greater amount of work and
anxiety which fall upon men. The
Sorosis may reflect whether, in claiming
the rights OF men, they may not at the
same time incur new and unexpected
form of disability.

the Republican member was allowed 10
be counted. This is a very fair sample
of the reform which the Democracy have
started, a reform in which dishonesty
struggles in vain to exceed stupidity.
The Democracy of the House is a per-
feet type and reflex of the Democracy
outside of the House. Democracy never
objects to Republican votes as long as it
is certain that they will accomplish
nothing; as long as the Republicans are
in hopeless minority the Democrats are
perfectly willing to afford them a full,
free, and fair election. 1t is only when
the Republican votes have any weight
that the Democracy shows itself in its
true light, and begins bulldozing in the
country and jayhawking in Congress
We are satisfied that no personal
malice entered into the vote which ex-
Guided Colorado, and that the Congress
sional jayhawkers would be perfectly
willing to count Colorado in if any cir
cumstance would enable them to count
Oregon, Nebraska, or Florida out. They
do not prefer to be dishonest; all they
want is to profit by the fruits of dis
honesty; and it is even possible to be-
lieve that they would, in the absence of
any temptation to the contrary, be hon
est, ordinarily, if they knew how. But
they do not know how, and, in the ab-
sence of such knowledge, are drifting
into an excess of us1rpatiOn and violence
which leads US to expect the worst when
the critical day is reached. We call on
all good Republicans to mark their
course, and to strengthen the resolution
that the forms of law shall not be cast
aside at the bidding of party. The Dem
ocrats seem to be inviting a struggle, and
when it comes we ought to be ready

Jayhawking in Congress.

The political iayhawkers at Wash
ington, who disgrace the name of Repre-
sentative. are certainly putting in their
work with the practiced dexterity of
old hands. Before organizing they delib-
erately bulldozed the vote of Colorado
and laid their pipes to disfranchise that
State vote in the forthcoming count of the
Electoral vote, and, from day to day,
they seem to have been bent on showing
that no consideration of decency could
restrain them in their determination to
usurp all power, legal and illegal.
They seem to have reformed the clerk
ships so as to make their peculiar tactics
work more smoothly. In tally of votes
taken distinctly to obtain two-thirds
vote on the appointment of Investiga-
ting Committees, the Clerk made two
blunders, which, fortunately. corrected
each other. But when Republican
Congressman, on the following day,
found out that his vote had been omit
ted, and called for ratification of the
record, Holman, of Indiana, who has
attitudinized before the public as Re-
former for many years, opposed this sim
pie act of Justice, because it would rem
edy the injustice of the day before.
Of course as soon as it was discovered
that Democrat had also been counted
oat, and that this fact, in connection
with the constitutional right of the
Speaker to a casting vote, would allow
the motion to remain as passed, the vir-
tuous Holman yielded, and the vote of

Vision of a Magnificent Future.

Citizens of New Orleans, and of cities
along the Mississippi and its tributaries,
have organized chartered corporation,
with capital of five millions, for the
purpose of excayating slack-water ship
canal from New Orleans itself to deep
water in Barrataria Bay. Galveston and
cities along the Southern coast of Texas
would be enriched by this ship canal,
which lessons the commercial distance
between New Orleans and Galveston
nearly one-half, and for the reason that
it would lessen the cost of traversing
this distance in sailing vessels more than
half. But the great end effected would
be discovered in the reversal of the COM
mercial mapof the South. Trade, traffic,
and travel from the Ohio and Missouri,
and the whole wealth of the country on
either side of the Mississippi, the. very
day that Cowdon's slack-water canal
may be opened, would be turned South
from the East. The new and the old
Northwest would alike come down the
river and down the railways across
Arkansas and Texas to find access to Eu-
rope, the West Indies, South America,
and Mexico through the Southern sea-
ports, and through these would the
South receive the products and mer-
chandise of the exterior world.

The XOodsmen of Michigan.

From an article on the Michigan
pineries, in the Northwestern Lum6ermera,
we extract the following: The styles of
axes differ with nationalities. A Cana
dian chopper prefers broad, square
blade, with the weight more in the blade
than elsewhere, the handles being short
and thick. A down East logger, one
from Maine, selects long, narrow head,
the blade in crescent shape, the heaviest
part in the top of the head above the
eye. New York cutters select broad,
crescent-shaped blade, the whole head
rather short, and the weight balanced
evenly above and below the eye, that is,
where the handle goes through. A Wes-
tern backwoodsman selects long blade,
the corners only rounded of, and the
eye holding the weight of the ak. The
American chopper, as a rule, selects a
long, straight handle. The difference in
handlingis that Down Easter takes hold
with both hands at theextreme end, and
throws his blows easily and gracefully,
with long sweep, over his shoulder. A
Canuck chops from directly over his
head, with the right hand well down on
the handle to serve in jerking the blade
out of the stick. A Westerner catches
hold at the end of his handle, the hands
about three inches apart, and delivers
his blows rather directly from over the
left shoulder.
In fact, an expert in the woods can
tell the nationality or State a man has
been reared in by seeing him hit one
blow with an Ak. 1t is, however, an in
teresting fact to know that Yankee
chopper, with his favorite ak and swing
ing cut, can, bodily strength being equal,
do fifth more work in the same time
than any other cutter, and be far less
fatigued. This in very large degree
will account for the greater percentage
of Maine men who will be found each
year in the woods.
