The October Elections.

The Cincinnati Commercial has Il way OF
saving things occasionally that it means to be
sarcastic, but which are so put that they seem
to be meant earnestly, and consequently it gets
a reputation sometimes OF going very wide OF
the mark. But when it settles itself down to
talk good, hard sense there is no newspaper in
the West whose opinions and predictions about
politics in that section are more valuable and
reliable Consequently, we put good deal OF
faith in it's confidence Of the strength of the
Republican ticket with Western voters, and
take it to be an augury of a sweeping victory
in Ohio and Indiana in October What lnfll-
ence the carrying of these elections by the Re
publicaps will have on the general contest
thirty DAYS later nobody acquainted with pollt-
zeal history need to be told. In 1868 there
was some fear that the Seymour and Blair tick
ct might be strong enough to defeat Grant and
ColfaX, and the elections, preceding November
were eagerly awaited as indications OF which
way the tide was turning. Maine came into
line in September with the usual Republican
majority, but both parties had discounted that,
and all eyes were still turned towards the DC
tober States. Those OF the NORTHWEST Wlnch
voted in that month were not doubtful, but
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana were accepted
as the battlefield upon which the Presidency
was to he settled. When the news came i'll
that the Republican State tickets had swept
Them all bv decisive majorities, everybody
knew that the issue in November had already
been decided. Pennsylvania has since aDolshed
her October election, SO that in 10 ONO anu

An Unfortunate Drummer.


:; John E. Weir is an agent. of the De-
troit Paper. Company, He arrived in
Petoskey one night list week en- route for
this place. AS is sometimes the case
there were several other drummers ar
rived on the same train, one. representing
an opposition house, Weir was very
anxious to get into Cheboygan at an ear
ly hour and paid the driver of the stage
IAN extra price for starting early. The
other drummers were also DESTROYS to
reach Cheboygan, but found when they
were ready to start i'm the morning that
the stage had gone. Whether there was
any connection between the two events
OF not we do not pretend to say; We only
give the story as it was told us. Weir
did not take any very large orders for
goods in this place, therefore he returned
to Petoskey the next day. On his way
back he lost his pocket book containing
about $40 and his railroad tieket. This
was unfortunate, but when he found on
his arrival at Peseskey that his house
had made an assignment, his unhappi-
ness was complete. How. ..,e made mt 70
raise money 70 get back 70 Detroit. our
-eporter does not state, but it may be
that he wished that he had not left his
brother drummers so unceremonlously in
Petoskey the day previous.

Church Meeting.

At meeting Of the trustees Of the
Congregational church last Monday after
noon it was decided to call meeting OF
the society on "Wednesday evening next
at the church, to consider what action
shall be taken regarding the resignation
Of the pastor, Rev. j. L.. Male. 1t is
earnestly desired by all those who have
deep interest in the welfare of the
church that there be full attendance.
The subject which will occupy the atten-
ton Of the meeting, is one in which every
attendant of the church should have an
interest. and upon which their voice
shsuld be heard. Upon the wisdom Of
the action which will be taken at this
meeting, the future prosperity of the
church depends. The trustees hope to
see every member of the congregation
present.

When we published last week the state
ment of the money order business trans
acted at this office for the past year, we
had very little doubt about it being ahead
Of any place of its size in the state. We
knew that it was about $4,000 in excess
Of Alpena, which claims 1000 more in
habitants than Cheboygan. Ii seems
however that we were mistaken, and we
cheerfirily give the palm to Mackinaw,
and do not now hesitate to challenge any
town Of 800 inhabitants in the state to
compare money order records with Mac :
inaw. Ifthere is any other town of 1000
inhabitants which can make ChebOygan
take one seat further back, we would like
to have them step to the front.

A Cure for Colds in the Head.

It would seem as if the cure for those
worst of all small nuisances, colds in the
head, which DIR. Terrier, of Kings Col
lege, suggested in the Lancet, might
prove to be remedy of great value. 1t
is n snuff-a VIII, te powder-composed
of the following ingredients Hydro
chlorate of morphia, two grains acacia
powder, two drachms iris -nitrate of
bismuth, six drachms-the whole making
up quantity of powder Of which from
one-quarter to one-half may be safely
taken, if necessary, in the course of
twenty-four hours. DIR. Terrier says
that with this snuff he has twice cured
himself of very violent colds, once, in
deed by taking trisnitrate of bismuth
alone, which is very powerful remedy
for catarrh of the mucous membrane,
and is the most important ingredient in
this snuff. DIR. Ferrier mentions two
other persons who were cured Of violent
colds 10y the same snuff, and to these in
stances we may add that the present
writer, who, having very violent cold
coming on with the sensation of weight
in the temples and the usual disagree
able feeling in the throat, as well as or
binary catarrh, made trial of DIR. Fer
rier's remedy one evening, and got up
on the following morning completely
free from cold, which has not since re-
Cured. The snuff, instead OF increas-
ing the tendency to sneeze, almost i'm
mediately begins to diminish it.-Lor,.

The ExtraditiOn Questi on.

The Ashburton treaty with England
was recently allowed to lapseby the tacit
consent of the high contracting parties,
growing out of the refusal of the British
Government to surrender Winslow, the
Boston forger, unless the United States
would guarantee that he should only be
placed On trial for the crime of which he
was charged in the demand for extradi-
ton. England insisted on this condi-
ton, so as to carry out her local legisla-
tive enactments, oblivious of the rule of
equity that no party to contract can
modify it without the consent of the
others interested. It would now seem
that the British Government, Influenced
by suggestions from the neighboring
Dominion, is anxious to re-enter into an
alliance offensive and defensive against
all social pests, and for that purpose has
opened negotiations at Washington for
q new treaty, which will be chiefly de-
voted to the extradition question, and if
entered upon, will afford greater facili-
ties for the capture and exchange of flu
gitives from justice than the one which
a few months ago was quietly inferred
beneath the accumulated dust of the two
State Departments.

A young man was in position where
his employers required him to make
false statement, by which several hun
dred dollars would come into their hands
which did not belong to them. All de-
pended upon this clerks serving their
purpose. To their great vexation he
utterly refused to do so. He could not
be induced to sell his conscience for any
ones favor. AS the result, he was dis
charged from the place.
Not long after, he applied for vacant
situation, and the gentleman, being
pleased with his address, asked him for
any reference he might have.

was unsullied, and so fearlessly referred
him to his last employer.

First.Fl0Or Bedrooms.

If we had house with bedroom on
the first floor, we would at once abolish
the use of that room as a sleeping apart
ment, because we are satisfied that it is
a wrong custom, it being much healthier
to sleep upstairs. Many family of
which the members were suffering and
weak in general, have been restored to
a vigorous and healthy condition by fol-
lowing our advice, which was to remove
their bedrooms up stairs, to have their
beds, summer and winter, exposed the
whole day to the fresh air from open
windows Except of course when there
is rain or mist), and also to have during
the whole night one window partially
open, even in winter, so as always to in
