JOY

Joy is divine. Come storm, conc shine,
The hopeful are the gladaest;
And doubt anI dread, dear girls believe,
OF all things are the saddest.
In mornings light, let youth be bright;
Take in the suIsb terl,r;
Then at the close, shall life's decline
Be full Of sunsets andor.

YANDsRRiLI'S WILL.
How the Old Man Showed His Likes and
Dislikes.

| All New York is talking about the Com
modore's will, made public in the morning
| papers, and wondering how he could have
made such Determinations in his relations.
But those who knew the man and the family
history are not at all surprised at the Ian
guage of the will 1t literally reflects the
old Commodore's r5Hracter, and reveals TO
striking degree TO the trafs of character
which alluded to above. Those who have
| Welded obedience 10 his will rnd wishes have
been rewarded, and those whohsve gone con
tray huve been wholly ignored in the will,
or have been eat off with comparatively
small amounts.
THE CoyIMoDORE's SUCCESSOR.
As stated above, William, the Commo-
dore. favorite sou and successor, was, only
few years ago. a plain. unamhitious farmer
at New Drop, Staten Island He liked farm
ing; was fond of his hUrsrr, pleasant, and
good natured, and seemingly had no ambi-
ton to follow in the footsteps of his father.
All of sudden, however. and to the sur
prise of every one knowing bin, he gave up
the old farm, came TO New York. entering
developed decided business traits of character,
and continued 10 grow in the esteem and re-
gard of his father, until the latter's death.
AS wrote you some months since, all the
COmmrdore's near relatives on Staten Island
and elsewhere were in state of SUSPENDED
anxiety regarding the will, the general inn
preston being among them that William
would secure the great bulk of the immense
property For years the other children have
felt that A" Bill and his children were Ito
use their own language" coming it over
the old man, and would get most of his prop
erty." The event has justified their expec-
tatiOD, and William and his family receive
fully eighty millions of the CommOiOre's
ninety five millions OF property. Williams
Sous, Cornelius and William, Jr., specially
mentioned in the will, have been great fa-
vorites with their grandfather. and, like
their father, have taken great pains 10 con-
suit and impliIirly follow his wishes and de-
sires. Thus it is that William and his fam
lily have obtained such strong hold on the
old Commodore's affections, and nos receive
the great bulk of his property. Like him,
they are all money-makers and money savers,
and the old man. doubtless, died in The to
him happy couscIousness that they would, in
their lifetime, v"s'ly add to the colossal iu-
heritanee which they had secured from hin.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 15, 1877.



The star in the East, as usual, shines
brightly. Governor Connor, Republi-
can. is reelected by 1000 to 10000 ma
jority over Williams, the Democratic can
didate, and the Legislature is largely Re-
publican in both branches. The Greeu-
hackers poll about one vote in every
twenty. They went into the canvass
with great confidence on account of the
hard times which are as bitterly felt in
Maine as i'll any state in the Union, as
both the shipping and manufacturing
interests have suffered sorely. 1t is very
difficult for dominant party to meet
the pressure of hard times, tor that ap-
peals to the 'pOcket nerve" the most
sensitive and influential in the human
system But the Republicans of Maine
met the issue squarely, spoke unhesi-
tatingly for a currency, redeemable in
coin, and for the resumption of specie
payments in january, 1879, and they
have carried the state, by a decisive ma
jority, over both the Democrats and
Greenbackers. They were heavily
weighed down by an odious prohibition
liquor law, and were considerably divided
on the Presidents southern policy. Sen
ator Blaine, their favorite son, was known
to be against it, and yet, with these OBJ
stacles, the victory is assured and de-
cisive. The vote is about 40 900 less than
it was in September, 1876. The Repub-
lican majority was then 14,960.

The Marquette & Mackinaw Rail-
road.

The Marquette Mining journal, in
speaking of this project, makes the sug-
gestion that at the next meeting of the
Legislature, that body pass an act guar
anteeing the bonds of any company that
will build the Marquette & Mackinaw
line, and fill in the link between L'Anse
and HOughton. The editor of the Jour.
nal was an aspirant last fall for Repre-
sentative hOnors, and is statistician of no
mean ability as far as the iron products
OF northern Michigan are concerned, but
he certainly knows very little about the
constitution of the state of Michigan, or
he never would have seriously made such
proposition. There is clause in tie
state constitution strictly prohiting ally
such action. The Legislature could no
more make such an act effective than the
editor of the Journal himself. The Lower
Peninsula is as deeply interested in the
completion of this road as the Upper,
but it has done all that it can do under
the constitution to aid it. If
the swamp lands appropriated will
not build the road, which
we have not yet despaired
of, then it will not be built with state
aid. Marquette people are "blue," and
we do not wonder at it, for Financial dis
tress and failure has visited almost every
business enterprise in the place. But
we can inform them that the Southern
Peninsula has an interest in the road,
the completion OF which would do more
than anything else to revive the dropping
that she will do all that can be legally
done to further the enterprise.

Lake Vessels ON Salt Water.

A letter dated Wilmington, August
23d, from Capt. William j. Gamble, of
the schooner Thistle, an old laker, says
the Thistle is loading 1000 barrels of
resin for Rotterdam, Holland, direct,
and will probably go thence to the West
Indies. He has made two voyages across
the Atlantic and three or four coast trips
since leaving the lakes. He further says
that the Thistle proves an excellent sea
vessel, and holds her own with regular
salt water vessels for safety and speed
The old notion that lake vessels cannot
safely or profitably ply on the ocean is
passing away. Experience is showing
that they can, and it will not be many
years before much of the grain ship
ments to Europe will be made direct from
the great western grain centers OF the
lakes.

How the Contract has been Fulfilled


At the last annual meeting of the
Board of Supervisors the proprietor of
the Free Press went before the Board
and asked that the county printing be
awarded to that paper. 1t would be
taken on the same terms as the TRIBUNE
held it the previous year. Making a
strong party appeal also to the Board, the
contract was awarded to the Free Press.
Among other things which was express
ly contracted for by the TRIBUNE, and
stipulated that it should 60 in as county
printing, was the printing of court cal
endars. The TRIBUNE fulfilled its con-
tract to the letter. Since the printing
was awarded to the Free Press there
have two terms Of court. In neither
case has the Free Press furnished any
calendars, Notwithstanding the fact that
they have drawn their quarterly stipend
of $25 with the greatest of regularity.
The calendars which have been furnished
the court are disgrace to any county
Ahat contains printing office, and doubly
so when they have been paid for the
same as for the excellent and convenient
ones furnished by the TRIBUNE.

Shade Trees.

The streets of Cheboygan are nearly
destitute of shade trees. 1t is true that
there are enough in the Immediate vi
cinity of the village so that this want is
not noticed Or felt very much just at
present, but the woods near town are
very rapidly disappearing, and it will
not be many ye;,rs before great COM
plaint will be made that the streets look
so Sare and uninviting. Now is the
time 10 have the trees set and have them
growing. Nothing adds so much to the
beauty and attractiveness of city rs to
have its residence streets lined with
trees. All the cities in the country
which have reputation for beauty
abound in trees. In many places the
residents are required to plf1lt trees and
care for them the same rs they are side
walks. We are aware that many trees
have been planted here, and have died,
thus discouraging many. We are con-
| fident that the right kind of trees, prop
erly managed, can be made to grow we'll
here. We venture the suggestion that
shade trees taken frem nursery will be
much more likely to grow than those
taken from the woods. They have been
transplanted several times, and the roots
are in better shape. We hope to see
some of our citizens set an example soon
in this regard, and we are confident that
it would be extensively followed. With
a little individual exertion in planting
trees, the appearance of ChebOygar
would be benefited for all time tC
come,

Dock improvements.

When Macarthur, Smith & Co. get the
improvements on their dock completed
which are under way, there will not be
better arranged dock property on the
lakes than at Cheboygan. They are now
busily engaged in putting in the slabs
and finishing out the dock several hum
dred feet beyond what they did last year,
and having it drcdged out fourteen Fl ct
deep to it. Next year they contemplate
extending it in the same manner one
thousand feet further into the lake. All
this will cost great deal of money, but
they have full faith in the future of Che
boygan, and are satisfied that in the fu.
ture they will receive full returns for the
investment. This kind of work at the en-
trance of our harbOr is as good an adj
vertisement for our harbor as can be
made. People passing through on boats
and seeing such evidence of thrift and
prosperity, are sure to be favorably im-
pressed with the place.

That Assault Case.

The trial of John Vincent upon the
charge of assault with intent to kill. was
commenced in the Circuit Court Thurs
day afternoon. The facts elicitcd by
the prosecution were substan' tally the
same as were given in the TRIBUNE last
week. The defense only introduced two
witnesses, but they did not seem to
change the aspect of the case. Mr.. Vincent
was then put upon the stand and made
his statement of the occurrance. He
claimed that if he had knife in his
that he had been whiting with it. and
did not take it out for the purpose of
cutting Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Vincent was
defended by Messrs. Bell and Humphrey,
while the Prosecuting Attorney managed
the case for the people. The facts of the
case seemed clearly established, and the
only point for the jury to decide was as
to the intent. FRIDAY morning the case
went to the jury. and after short con-
sultation they returned verdict OF
guilty OF assault and battery. The re-
suit showed that the jury gave Mr.. Vim
cent the benefit of the doubt, that he
had no deliberate intention of killing
Mr.. Hayes. just before the adjournment
of court Friday morning, sentence pass.
ed. The Court, taking into consideration
the aggravated nature of the assault, ad
judged a fine of 5000 and six months i'm
prisOnment in the county Jail. The SEN
tence seems severe one, but had it not
been for the fact that Mr.. Vincent was al
old resident here and known to almost
everyone, the verdict would probably
have been different and the sentence muct
moresevere. While Mr.. Vincent has much
sympathy felt for him, there are few who
say that he should not have been severe
ly punished.
