Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-07-22

A correspondent of the Hartford.
Conn.,, Courant,. tells the following
AS we are all looking for incidents
which may make us better: acquainted
with Gov. Hayes. wish to relate one
which is, in some degree characteristic.
Hayes and Pendleton. s.Gentleman
George" were pitted against each other
for the governorship of Ohio. 1t was a
time when Pendleton was favorite for
the Presidency, and his success in the
canvass involved his availability for the
higher candidacy. All day long. while
the election was progressing, Coy. Hayes
sat quietly in the house of a friend i'm
Cincinnati. reading, conversing, and
seeming the most uncOncerned of all.
The lady of the house. at last said to him:
csHowsis it, Gen. Hayes, that you are SO
entirely mexcited-about matter which
Is OF so much Importance to you ~. does
"TO speak truly" said the Governor
Il feel great deal of sympathy for my
opponent. He has. the Presidency as
welf as the Governorship at stake. /
have only the one to lose.n
Gen. Hayes evidently had no suspicion
that there was more for him in the turn
ing of that days fortunes than tor his
rival. But. such is the greatness of this
mars heart. have seen him deeply ag
ltated at the story of Il little child's dam
ger, and have heard one who had seen
him in battle, testify that he was true us
steel and gallant as 4 Bayarl.

Ants and CaterpiIiars.

The Belgian official journal referring
TO the ignorant conduct of those who
destroy all kinds of birds and insects in
discriminatory, insists on the necessity OF
children in primary schools being taught
TO distinguish between useful and noX-
ious insects, and thus TO exercise their
destructive faculties against the latter
only. The writer proceeds to say that
the ant, which is very disagreeaEle and
inconvenient in many respects, does ex-
cellent service il. chasing and destroying
caterpillars with relentless energy. A
farmer who had noticed this fact and had
his cabbage literally devoured by cater
pillars, at last hit upon the eXpedient OF
having an ailt-hill, Or rather nest, such
as abound in pine forests, brought to his
cabbage plot. a sackful of pi points,
Astounding in ants, was obtained and its
contents thrown around the infested cab
bage plants, The ants lost no time but
Immediately set to work; they seized the
caterpillars by the heads. The next day
heaps of dead caterpillars were found,
but not one alive, nor did they return to
the cabbages. The value of the ant is
we'll known, in Germany, and although
their eggs are greatrequesta AS food for
young paItridges, pheasants and llightin-
gales, there is a fine against taking them
from the forests. The ant is indefatiga-
bic; it climbs to the very. tops of trees,
and destroys an immense quantity OF
nOXiOus insects.

APortland Horse Story.

A paper printed i'm Portland, Me-, is ait
thority for the following story: "Dr. j.
Il. Gilman's mare, Fannie, is an equine
of unusual intelligence. Aday or two
since, while the doctor was visiting pa
tient, the horse was left in the yard as
usual, without being fastened. After the
doctor went into the house, Fannie went
up the yard, and began browsing q rose
bush. The servant girl came out and
spoke to her. and she turned and walked
back to the door. In few moments the
horse returned again. and began TO whin-
ME, and stamp on the doorstep. The
girl came out again, and was little
startled to see Fannie running out her
tongue at her, and acting strangely. The
organ protruded its entire length, and
was kept exposed with a determination
worthy of patient undergoing examina-
ton by physician. The girl finally ex-
amined the member, and found thorn
from the rose bush had got uncOmfort-
ably fastened to it. She removed it,
when the thankful animal made pro-
n vS;na bow, and went back and stood
e 1eiy by the door until the doctor had
so''pieted his visits ...s y 20

Those who attended the sale of animals

The Judges Drink.

The Pittsburg Leader tells the follow
ing of that venerable judicial mill, Judge
Humphreys. The other day, holding
the circuit court, old Pump grew weary
of the endless tongues of ATTORNEYS, and
calling to bailiff, said, huskily, "Go
over to the HOle-irl-the-Wal and bring
me drink of whisky"
The bailiff disappeared and reappeared
shortly with an inch and a half of corn
juice in a glass, enough for Christian
man, but not a sufficiency for an Alabama
judiciary system. ar

The bailiff disappeared again, and re-
appeared second time with a tumbler
trimming full.
"Ah!" said the wearer of Ermine,
that now is drink But what" wipino
his lips with the cuff Of his coat, ..what
did he say 20 Neaha
"Oh, he didn't say anything, your
Honor" answered the bailiff, blushing.
.sOh, yes, he must have made some re-
mark; now what did he say?''

did say, your Honor"
"Go on and tell me exactly what he
said," demanded old Pump. - =
ssWell, sab, your Honor, he said,G sent
him a drink OF whisky at first didn't
know that the old fool wanted to take a

"Hem, hem, go on with the examina-
ton of your Witness" sighed the Judge
to the attorney for the plaintiff, and the
bailiff skunk into the back room and but
ted his head against the wall till he
knocked a dollars worth of plaster off.

yiyacity Of a superannuatcd Canno,,

An accident, described rs being of "a
IA 'her alarming character," occurred at
Monkbridge Iron works. 1t seems that
disused eannons are purchased by the
company to whom the iron works belong
for the purpose of being melted down.
One of the superannuated engines OF war
having been put into the refinery It
showed its 'displeasIlres by "going OH
with noise like thunder. 1t contained,
i'm fact, no fewer than four balls, each
weighing about 10 pounds, and its ieX-
plosion under these circumstances was,
however inconyenient,,n not altogether III,
excusable. The gun having been placed
i'm the furnace perpeldicularly the cnafge
assembled to "A great height, two OF the
balls piercing and remaining III large
brick chimney 80 yards distant. Forttl-
natcly no one was .hurtby the salute the
old CANTON thus fired in its own honor
en- the occasion of its obsequies, but there
is no saving what mischief it might have
caused had it ,.spit forth its iron lndlgna-
ton" horizontally instead of perpendic-
ular. As the millennium gradually de-
velops itself number of superfluots can

tionate purposes. and it would really be
advisable, us a matter of prudence, to eX-
anime them thoroughly before melting
them down in furnaces, as otherwise u

The investigation into Mr.. BlaiDc's connec-
