Last week we informed the reader that Gov
Bagley Was attempting TO avoid complying
with the request Of the Board Of Supervisors
in the matter of the Court Htsnographsr BY re-
ferring the matter TO the Attorney General
On Wednesday last the County Clerk received
the following, which is clearly very thin
dodge. The counsels which has caused the
Governor to dodge clear and manifest duty,
We are advised came from kalamazoo. and 1t
is our private opinion that Attorney General
" Jack" Smiths opinion was manipulated from
the same locality. The will Of the people, in
this matter, has been overridden. We shall
refer to this matter again.

and this shall not feel warranted in DOING as
no complaint has been made agaist him.

The leading Democrat (inAation) organ of
Southern Ohio, the Cidclnnati Enquirer, refers
TO recent statement in the New York World
that Mr. Hendricks IN his recent Saratoga con-
ference with Gov. Tilden advanced no PROPOSE
ton for the modification OF Tilden's hard
money views IN his forthcoming letter of accep-
lance, and adds
Mr.. Hendricks was talking to the Eastern
Democrats when Mt Saratoga, He was endeav-
oring to catch the Eastern coon. He wasn't
there to harrow up the feelings Of his Eastern
friends. He ID q soothing and complacent
man. But just get hold Of Gov. Hendricks on
the plains OF the West and he will satisfy his
greenback friends. Mr.. Hendricks is q saga
cious, wise man. He has learned the methods
Of Paul, who said OF himself that unto the
Jews he became as Jew, that he might gain
the Jews, and to them that were under the law
he became as under the law that he might gain
them that we're under the law. and to them
that were without law he became as without
law that he migt gain them that were without
law that to the weak he became as weak that
he might gam the weak; and he did all THE

The Happy Time.

The Rev. Adirondack Murray declares
that the religion OF the future will be
Christianity, but improved. " My
friends" he said, in recent sermon,
81 behold in vision the light OF that
sublime age; I catch glimpse OF that
far off but happy time. I see the peo,,
pie of the earth living in gladness and
peace. I see them beating their swords
into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks. The desert blossoms as
the rose instead of the thorn is the tir
tree; in place Of the briar stands the
myrtle; the mountains and hills break
forth into singing; the trees clap their
hands; violence is not heard; wasting and
destruction are not within its borders.
The sun goes not down, and the moon
withdraws not herself, for the Lord is
their light, and the days OF mans
mourning are ended forever" The
Christians who live in that happy time
will have no desire 70 60 to heaven.

A New Way TO Sell Cows.

An exchange says that a new dodge
for swindling farmers has just been pat
in operation. Several strange men drive
into an agricultural district. They stop
at all the farmhouses, and make a con-
tract to take all the butter the farmers
N furnish at fifty cents pound. Fur
ther, it will be gathered up bya fast
special team, and the cash paid for it at
the door. The pretense is that during
the fall and winter the large cities will
be crowded, and that butter will be
scarce. In this way sll the farmers in a
district are contracted with, and arrange
ments are made to come for the butter
on certain days and at certain points;
the contract to go into effect in two
weeks. A few days after the departure
of the men drove of COWS come along.
They are fine looking mich COWS. The
farmers, having a good thing in view,
think they might use few moro COWS.
They try to buy them, but the drover
doesn't seem anxious to sell. Finally,
however, he is induced to sell two or
three to each farmer, and at prices con-
siderably higher than the real market
value. He then departs, meets his
partners, who put up the butter job,
and they divide their profits. The farm
ers of this vicinity will do well to be on
their guard against this new style OF
sharpers.

To Distinguish Cotton from Wool.

Ravel out the suspected cotton fiber
from the wool and apply flame. The
cotton will burn with flash, the wool
will curl up, carbonize, and emit burnt,
disagreeable smell. Even to the naked
eye the cotton is noticeably different
from the flaments OF wool, and under
the magnifer this difference cones out
strongly. The cotton is fatteaed, more
or less twisted band, having a very
striking resemblance to bAir, which, ID
reality, it is; since in the condition OF
elongated cells, it lines the inner sur
face Of the pod. Tho wool may be rec
ognized at once by the zigzag transverse
markings on its fSers. The surface OF
wool is covered With these furrowed and
twisted fine cross lines, OF which there
are ., 600 to 1000 in an inch. On this
structure depends its felting property.
FINALLY. a simple and very striking
chemicl test may be applied. The
mixed goods are unraveled, a little of
the cotton fiber put into one dish and
The woolen in another, and drop OF
strong nitric acid added. The cotton
will be little or not at all affected; the
wool, on the contrary, will be changed
to bright yellow. The color is due to
the development of picrate.

Lost.

Ga, winds, blow fair! Oh. winds, blow free
The port We steer for is under our lee,
Ard crisp waves curl on the clear green sea.
Home from exile, dear love, We sail;
Our ship speeds forward with fayoring gale
Zee where the cliffs loom somber and pale.
Running SO freely, our haven near,
But little for tempest and storm We fear,
AID life to each was never so dear.
All! low weird is the seabirds cry,
How mournfll and shrill is the wild winds
Sigh,
While white wsves glance from our bulwsrks
high!
Stern the frown on the skippers face
The wind and the waves have risen apace,
Aud across the sky the storm clouds race.
Hard down the helm! The black rocks show
Where the reef runs out so narrow and low,
Like jaws Of he'll mid the billows' snow.
Pit her about Too late, alas!
The strong ship shivers like fragile glass,
And Kissing waves through her timbers pass.
Cling to me, love! My life for thine!
Round your slender waist this stout cord I'll
tTine,
And 90 sball yeur fate be bound to mine.
Trust TO me, darling! My strong hand
Shall besr you upharmed to the storm ridged
strand,
Nor shall loose its grasp til! We touch land.
Bruised, wsvo beaten, we gained the bay
My life was left, but my one treasure lay
Los., in my arms, for ever and aye.

The Russian Loan.

The success of the new popular loan
in Russia has been such as to give the
czar full assurance that, in case OF
emergency, he can raise large amount
of money from his own subjects before
going abroad to borrow. The Russian
car has been so long in the habit of re-
sorting to the money markets OF western
Europe when the funds were required
that most people had supposed he would
be helpless in case these were closed
against him. But, during the last
twenty years, and especially since the
emancipation OF the serfs, the financial
resources, as we'll as the military power,
of the Russian empire have undergone
q great development; and we have no
no doubt that, as the car has raised his
hundred million rubles at once in two
of his cities, he could raise ten times as
much on short notice in his empire at
large. The success Of the present loan
must give the Russians a new sense OF
financial independence.

Let Brown Walk.

A gentleman was very much annoyed
at night by person who was walking
heavily in the room above and unable to
sleep; be assembled to the room to ascer-
tain the cause, and found man walking
up and down, apparently in great dis
tress. His sympathy induced him to
INQUIRE the cause. At first he could
get no response, and the man, with his
hair in his hands, still continued to
pace the floor. At last, induced by the
kindly tone of his visitor, he stated the
cause of his great anguish. 81 owe my
friend Brown $500, which am utterly
unable to pay" "My friend" said the
gentleman, 81 can give you advice
which will relieve your distress"
"What is ;t9" anxiously inquired the
distressed individual. "You have walk
ed far enough" replied the gentleman.
"My advice to ycu is to go comfortably
to bed, and LET Brown walk awhile"

Business Precepts.

We find it stated that the founder OF
the great banking house Of Rothschilds
made the following rules the guide OF a
Business career eliminating in magnia
cent success:
/. Combination of three profits. 81
made the manufacturer my customer,
and the oneI bought of, my customer;
that is, supplied the manufacturer
with raw materials and dyes, on each OF
which / made 81 profit, and took his
manufactured goods, which 1 sold at q
profit, and thus combined three profits"
Q. Make a bargain at once. Be an
ff.handed man.
5. Never have anything to do with an
unlucky man or place. SO have seen
many clever men who hare not shoes
TO their feet. i never act with them.
Their advice seems very well, but fate Is
against them; they cannot get on them
selves, how can they do good to mes"
4. Be cautious snd bold. 1T re-
quires great deal Ct boldness and q
great deal of caution to make Q gre
fortune, and when yen have got it1t re-
quires ten times as much keep It.ss

The Wheel of Fortune.

Those in this country engaged in
trade and commerce, says the New York
Sun, are liable at any moment to be
overwhelmed by financial panics, politi-
col disturbances. and other usesagainst
which no human foresight can provide.
The millionaire of today becomes the
bankrupt of tomorrow.
We have had notable instances OF re-
verses of fortune among the rich men OF
this city, the most recent and the most
notable being that of Mr.. Edward
Matthews, the great real estate owner.
Mr.. Matthews owned buildings in the
heart of the down town business por-
tion of the city, renting hundreds OF
offices and stores in Broadway, Bond
street, Wall street, and Exchange place,
all at high rates. 1t is said his income
from real estate alone, in ten years, be.
ginning with 1863, amounted to over
So, ,O0O,000 Mr.. Matthews became in
volved, and his creditors are, as we un-
derstand, now seeking TO throw him in
to bankruptcy. For many years MIR.
Matthews, his house on Fifth avenue,
near Eighteenth street, his choice col
lection OF pictures by modern masters
and his faultless equipages, have ben
much talked of in fashionable circ rs IN
this city. At one time nobody @rned
out better appointed four-in. hsad tnan
Edward Matthews. Now he IS IN very
serious difficulty. On the tweatleth OF Oe-
tober list he convened all his real estate
to his son. J. Branaer 1atthews, for q
consideration OF $50, ,0po. 1t IS charged
that this conveyance, which transfers 9a
property valued ct over So, OOO, QUO even
in these times, is 'asSailable. Certainly
| in this case thel@heel OF fortune made
o sudden and disastrous turn for O. gen.
tleman whose long had been rolling ID
wealth. I. =, :,
Another painful cxse is that of the
venerable DanielDrew, who, at one
time. and that lot SO long ago, threw
about his millions in Wall street with
the best Of Mem. He could at any time
dnrinp ted successive years have re-
tired frem the street worth $4,000, 600,
hut B ventured once too often, and is
noy utterly bankrupt of his houses
ed lots, his farms, his bonds and stocks;
fhey have llpassed into other hands. Mr.
Drew's case is a particularly ssbad one.
He finds himself stripped of worldly
possessions at an age when lie can nc
longer hope to retrieve his faller
| fortunes.

His Story.

He came back to his mother, looking
very forlorn, with big red swelling
under hisleft eye, and four or five hand
fuls of torn shirt boiling over his
breeches band. "Why, where or earth
have you been9" she asked. "Me and
Johnny's been playin'. He played he
was pirate, and I played l was duke.
Then he put on airs, and got mad,
and"- eyes, yes!" interrupted his
mother, her eyes flashing, "and you
didn't finch2" "No, mother; but the
pirate licked"
