o,E NEW CAPITOL.

The people of the State Of Michigan
may well be proud of the new Capitol
they are building IN Lansing. 1t Is
one of the best buildings for its pur-
poses ever designed or erected in the
New World, though it will cost but
small fraction Of what the people OF
some other States have to pay for SINH
lar buildings. Admirable IN design,
beautiful in architectural appearance,
built without iobbery and fraud, II
will be a fitting monument TO the good
sense and sterling, practical character
of the people who will pay for it, and
for whom il was built. IL is hand
some structure, exteriorly, one OF the
finest in the country, as its outer walls
are made OF Amherst, Ohio, sandstone.
To give our readers, many OF whom
never have seen the building, some
idea of how IL looks, We give the fol-
lowing description of the stone from a
report Of Prof. J. 5. Newberry, IN the
Geological Survey of Ohio:
The Amherst stone is now as widely
known and has reputation as firmly
established as any other building ma
terial in use, aud Is, perhaps the most
ulKllN tnlFCA4tA anu HtHAAaA e'tAA1
known. 1t is everywhere highly APP
preciated for It's beauty, durability, aud
the ease and certainty with which it is
worked. This stone is commended 10y
the following qualities, which Il pos
sesses in an unusual degree. IL Is
chemically nearly pure silica, and is
scarcely more affected by weathering
than the best granite. Ii is also very
refractory, and will endure exposure TO
fire by which granite limestone would
DE entirely destroyed. Its strength va
rico from 6, OOn ~ IN. O0O pounds TO the
square iuch-from two 20 four times
that OF the best brick and at least suf-
ficient TO endure any weight likely TO
be imposed upon it by modern archi-
lecture. The color is generally light
drab, warm, cheerful. uniform aud un-
chaugeable. The texture is fine and
homogeneous, without flaws, iron, or
clay-balls. While containing the quar-
~ water, il works. as the stOne-cutters
say, like cheese" but hardens on ex-
posure, and retains every inscription
with the greatest fidelity. These quail
tiles are rarely found in as great per-
fect:on combined in one stone, and are
such as fully warrant the high reputa-
ton it enjoys.

A Ridiculous Mistake.

A young lady residing on the east
side Of the river has a little dog called
"Nigger." She does not like to muzzle
the animal, and consequently keeps
him indoors. A day or two ago q man
drove a COW past the house, and the
little dog ran out and barked at her.
The young lady called the dog back by
name, shouting Niger, Nigger, Mig
ger" To her surprise stone came
flying near her head, a moment or two
afterward, and on looking up she saw
that il had been thrown by the man
who was driving the COW, and who was
almost white rage. He was a colored
man and his rage had been caused by
the young lady's calls of ''Nigger, not
knowing that sho vss calling the dog.
He was so angry that he commenced to
chase her into the house, aud was not
appeased until her brother explained
that il was the dog she was calling and
not him. This an actual fact Roch-
ester Evening Express.

Difference Between Mobs and
Strikes.

Mobs and strikes are different ideas.
and for the strikers. so far as they sim
ply increase work and ask for higher
wages, kind words must be spoken.
The laboring man must secure as much
as he can for his work, just as the
farmer may secure tho most he can for
his corn or wheat. And as the farmer
may let his wheat lie in the barn be-
cause the price does not suit him, so
the engineer may withdraw his labor
from the railroad until the wages shall
come up TO the wants of his family.
But here terminates tho right of the
farmer and the engineer.-The farmer
must not take his big sons and lot of
clubs and thus pay a visit 10 some ad-
joining farmer and forbid him to sell
his wheat until a big price shall come.
So the striking mechanic must not pre-
vent Others from working. This is the
point at which a strike turns into a re-
belli0n against the State. for the State
is 10 protect each citizen in his labor
and property. II our country cannot
at least protect the man who is willing
aud anxious TO work from the man who
is waiting for higher pay, then will the
country be failure aud we shall all
welcome o Napoleon or a Gar The
Alliance.

American. as one to be observed annual
ly ms day OF pleasure and to be given
up to patriotic and social enjoyments.
Such were the feelings and impulses OF
many Of our Reading citizens on the
morning Of that day, as they planed an
excursion and picnic for Clear Lake,
in an adjoining county in Indiana
With high hopes and flushed spirits
they wended their way to the place
noted for festive gatherings and social
enjoyment, in fishing and boat-riding.
The day had been nearly spent, to the
great satisfaction of the participants,
when they would take ono more trip
upon the placid waters OF the lake be-
fore returning TO their homes. oh, ia
tai resolution, IL had been better new
er TO have been made. BY imprudence
in overlooking the frail craft, when
rounding for shore careening of the
boat caused fright in its human load,
and with a splurge and lunge boat and
occupants went down in the watery
deep; eleven OF which gave their lives
as a forfeit. Seven OF which were re-
spected and loved ones of Reading.
These sacrifices to imprudence and
frail barges for navigating deep waters
will probably serve as a reminder 10
her people, to escape such risks
as often as they visit their church
yard cemetery, and frJm the
northeast corner of the same view the
tablets erected by kind aud loving
friends TO the memory OF Isaac j. Ber-
ry. Danforth w. Berry and Miranda
his wife, Salome, wife Of w. Il. Turner
aud Estalle, adopted daughter OF the
above; Louisa, aged 10, aud Olin, ag-
ed Z years, daughter and son OF y. NJ.
q II. y. Turner.
And still another cloud has passed
over the town, perhaps no greater in
proportion than over every other town
ia our PenInsular State. Yet, we
should not be doing justice to those
who have mourned loved ones, and
those who are to come after US did we
not remind them of those who went
from the town aud laid down their lives
10 perpetuate onr loved country in the
great rebellion from dismemberment.

and those OF later date. noting the

sent. We are fully aware Of the

DEPosING GREELEY.

A conversation between Thomas Roo

Tribune, aud Horace Greeley, the last
time the latter was in the Tribune of
fee, is given in the Troy Press, and
that paper says 1t has never before
been printed. Mr.. Greeley's denial of
the Crumbs OF Comfort" article had
been twice suppressed, and the old
man climbed the stairs TO the compos-
ing.room 10 see Rocker about il. The
latter was sitting at his desk as he
heard Mr.. Greeley coming, aud he
knew the cause OF the visit. He rose
as Mr.. Greeley approached him, and
Offering him his hand, said: "Mr
Greeley, am very glad 10 sec you."
Mr.. Greeley said: "Tom, how is II
that that article ] ordered 20 be pnt

Mr.. Rocker grasped Mr. Greeley's
hand tighter, and replied: "Mr. Gree

The Board Of State Canvassers, COM
posed OF Secretary Holden, Treasurer
McCreery, and Land Commissioners
Partridge, held meeting in this city
July %. and declined TO canvass the
votes for circuit Judge cast on July 2
in the 23d circuit heretofore reported
in the Republican,. They acted under
the advice Of Attorney General kirch-
ner. who maintains that the special
election was not held in accordance
with the constitution and laws. The
next step will probably be for Gov.
Croswell TO make an appointment; and
as J. b. Tuttle received 81 more votes
than any other person. his name OF
course will be prominently regarded. -
Mr.. Tuttle received about two votes in
Alpena city, where he resides, 10 one
for his opponent, z. r. Roberts, while
the latter received every vote except
ing one in the township where he re-
sides. The popular yete cast at the
special election was 767 less than for
President in November last Lansing

One of the saddest reverses OF for
tune has occurred at Richmond, Vir-
ginia. A year ago a young, beautiful
orphan girl married a man who mad
been a most devoted lover. She was
an beiress with a fortune OF 500, 900.
She was without relative in the world
Almost worshipin. her husband she
conhded her wealth into his keeping
without thought Of trouble. He liv-
ed luxuriously, but making many pur-
chases for his especial good. In few
months his treatment changed to
harshness and neglect, and very soon
he abandoned her and fed 10 Europe.
He had sold all her property, she sign
ed every paper he presented. He cell
lected all the money due her, stole her
jewelry and left her penniless. She
braved the storm of poverty bravely
for awhile trying to keep in retirement.
But she had no means to pay strangers
for her board, and she was compelled
10 90 TO work. She is not educated
sufficiently for a teacher even IL she
could get place. She is not strong
enough for a servant, and she is now
peddling small articles from door to
door. She is not yet eighteen years OF
age, and she is very beautiful. She Is
ladylike and quiet, and has the good
will aud respect of the people, many OF
whome would help her more were they
not 50 poor.

tendance at the Millers' State Conven-
tion, in Detroit On Wednesday and
took a prominent and influential part
in the proceedings. A number new
members were admitted TO the associa-
tion. A resolution was adopted assess
ing each member So for each run OF
stone in his mil, and appropriating
one-third of the money in the associa-
tion treasury, for the purpose OF con-
testing any suits of the patentees Of
the so called Cochrane patent process
Of separating the impurities from the
grain before grinding il, that may be
brought against Michigan millers. 1t
is understood that nearly all the mills
in the State use the process claimed to
be patented by Cochrane, and that
should the patentees succeed IN gain
ing their suits, they would be entitled
TO 25 cents barrel on nearly all the
fiour manufactured in the State. A
resolution was adopted expressing the
opinion of the convention as to the
comparative values Of the various
Michigan wheat. The Tapahannock is
declared TO be the best wheat grown;
second best, the Treadwell; third,
Gold Medal: fourth. Diehl, and fifth,
Clawson. Resolutions were adopted
advising farmers not 10 grow Clawson

trade TO establish a special grade for
