columbia's Race with Harvard.

Very late in the day comes the word that
Harvard accepts Columbia's challenge to an
eight-oared race. to be rowed on the Con-
necticut off Springfield, on the Goth inst.
This looks like hardly fair notice to Colum-
bia, for though among the entries for the
Harlem regatta of next Monday appear the
names Of nearly all her old famous oars
Goodwin, Cornell, Timpson, Murphy, Boyd
and Sage--yet even If these are in good con-
dition. which is doubtful, they have hardly
had work enough together in On eight to
insure hrst class performance scarcely ten
days from now, while their coxswain must
certainly go up to his race with at best but
an indifferent acquaintance with the long
four-mile track, thus hazarding the
chances of his crew very greatly. While
Yale promises to bring to the score
crew but little, if at oil, infe-
rior to her famous one of last year
Harvard is credited with marked improve
ment over the team which was beaten SO
hollow then, and though Columbia expects
to meet Harvard only the result will be ac-
copied as the best approximation that can
be had as to how she could do with Yale
But what suggests itself forcibly is. Why
not open the event on the Goth inst. to CO.
lumbia and have but one fight? The river
is abundantly broad and though the crew
getting the eastern position has more dis
lance to cover than that on the western side
the track will be about as fair as could be
had on crooked river, and far more so
than the famous one from Putney to Mort
lake. Open such contest and once
make it success and there is
little doubt that future years will
witness at least as many such races as there
were six-oared in the days of the recently
defunct College Rowing Association. But
it will have one unsatisfactory feature at
least this year--Cornell will not be in it.
Put her there and the foremost rowing col
leges of the land will all contend and so
bring a result which may Justly be accepted
as evidence of where the years best college
oarsmen are to be found.
1t is unfortunate that the only sort of row.
now to agree is the most expensive sort
known, one which Will OF times give even
these contestants work to make the moneyed
ends meet and which will quite preclude
deserving smaller institutions, like Wesleyan
and Dartmouth, from being in the fray at
ell, while it will almost certainly show o
weak spot or two every year in every boat.
Nor will the interest ever centre in this race
that would il it were transferred from a
stream where il is hardly possible to see u
quarter OF the struggle to one where, like
the Hudson of this city, nearly oil of it can
be easily viewed, and where the multitude
that would throng to see it would approach
that which, more almost than the rowing
itself, makes the English University race an
event Of interest in every quarter Of the
globe. Cornell and Columbia should have
a word to say next time.

THE SILENCE OF SENATOR MORTON on politi-

his Senatorial term expires next year. He does
not see his way clear to indorsc or oppose the
policy OF the President, and is simply drifting on
the political tide. According to Our Indiana
correspondence his chances of drifting out of
tho Senate are by no means slender.

three in New Orleans, one in Dayton Ohio. and

death they met. The only noteworthy circum-

Of the law was that one of them was sent out of

A Honesteader's Experience.

1t is very true, but rather ancient.
saying that one half of the world does
not know how the other halt lives.
From Mr.. Thomas Richardson we learn
of the privations and sufferings of a fam
lily of homesteaders who settled last fall
in town 81 north, range west, the par
ticulars of which he learned during his
late visit in that region. The name of
of the family is Austin, and they moved
in last fall. Mr.. Austin, later. went to
Gaylord to work. leaving Mrs. Austin
with five small children, the oldest be-
ing ten years of age. Some time after
ward she started. one afternoon. OIL an
errand to her nearest neighbors, three
miles away, leaving her children alone.
After travelling for some time SIZE found,
TO her horror, that she was lost, and
night coming OH, she was compelled to
lay down upon the ground and remain
until morning. 1t was very cold night,
and she suffered much. Toward MORN
ing she heard some animal near her and
feared it was Il bear. but happily it turn
ed out TO be deer. Morning came at
last. and she made out TO get home. La
ter she scalied one of her hantL badly.
and when that was nearly well she cut
her foot very severely with an AK 1t
seemed that one misfortune followed an
other in such quick succession that the
fates were against her. Some time after
this size slipped while at work at the
wool pile and dislocated her shoulder.
This threatened 10 be the most serious
trouble OF all, for she could think of no
way to get her arm set. During the
night following the pain became so un-
bearabe that she called her little ten
year-ol1 girl TO her. and told her to take
hold of tho arm and pull. and if she
screamed with pain. Ito pull the harder.r
This the little girl did. and with what
aid the muther gave, they succeeded in
getting il back in place. Althou.h it
may be that this is an exceptional case,
there are none who take up home in
the woods but who are in danger Of much
suffering for the want of proper care in
| case of accidents.

New Saw Will.

A few weeks since the TRIBUNE men
toned that they were remodeling the
arrangements at the broom handle fac
tory for cutting up the bolts ready for
turning the handles. The work is now
completed, and it may be matter of in
terest to our readers to know that with
in the past four weeks there has been a
complete saw mill manufactured here in
our village The work has been done un-
der the supervision OF Mr. Limlerman
who has drafted the plans and made all
the necessary patterns. The castings
being made by Fl. A. Blake. Esq. The i'm
prevments made consist of a small circu-
lar saw mill for cutting the bolts into
planks of the required thickness. and a
gang edger for Sitting these planks into
square pieces ready for the turning lathe.
The gang edger consists of five saws,
oh are set so as to cut the plank into
the right sizes for turning. 1t is thought
that the bolts can be cut up more speed
lily and to better advantage than under
the old method. The entire work is
greatly to Mr.. Linderman's credit, and
shows what can be done by our mechan-
les here at home.

The Condition OF the Cheboygan
County EEen,esIeoders.

During the early part of last week the
superindents of the poor had meeting,
at which the condition of the homestead
ers settled in this county was taken into
consideration and quite fully discussed.
As has heretofore been announced i'm
the TRIBUNE, there were probably a few
families in the county which would need
and deserve some assistance at the hands
of the county and the benevolently dis
posed residing here. 1t was decided that
the only correct plan of affording relief
judiciously and understandingly was to
have some person visit the homestead
settlements and ascertain from personal
observation theneeds of the destitute.
This has been the plan proposed by the
TRIBUNE from the commencement, and
one which, had it been carried out in
Emmett county, would have saved much
dissatisfaction, and would have resulted
in the generous contributions of the
charitable people of the state being dis
tributed so that those most i'm need would
have received the most. 1t would have
resulted that only the worthy would
have received aid. u3{ ui.
The board decided that M. w. Horne
and phos Richardson should take a. trip
through AMONG them and grant relief
where needed. They. started on their
tour of inspection on the Sth inst, and
were gone three days. They found the
hOmesteaders which have settled in this
county to be an industrious class of peo-
pie, and even those who came i'm late
last fall have made very satisfactory
commencements at clearing their farms.
They found six families on their route
who were in needy circumstances, both
for food and clothing. but none who were
starving. These families were relieved
as far as their present wants were con-
cerned, and we understand the ladies'
aid society of the village is making ar
rangements to send some clothing and
bedding to the needy. We are glad to
| be able to announce that all the really
deserving homestea,lers in the county
will be assisted to an extent which will
tide them over until the time that some
| thing can be raised.
