DestitutIou.

A memorial was presented in the
House Wednesday from the Board Of
Supervisors Of Emmet county, setting
forth the destitution OF the settlers up
on the late Indian reservation in that
and adjoining counties, and asking
temporary relief. The memorialists
say in substance: On the 18th day OF
April, 1875, large Indian reservation
in this region was opened for home
steading purposes, and az the lands
we're good, the prospects for pleasant
homes brought large and rapid immi-
grafton. Many settlers came with
small means and in expectation OF sup-
porting their families by working for
others, but, as the country was vast
wilderness, without manufactures or
improved farms to furnish them en-
ployment, they have become destitute.
Few can obtain employment near home
10 support, and few can leave their
families and 20 a great distance for
employment. Planting time will find
them without seed and with no means
TO buy il, thus endangering repitition
OF their present condition another win
ter. The mcmorialists believe there
are in Emmet and the adjacent por-
tions OF Charlevoix and Cheboygan
counties fully 800 families who need
aid in grain and seeds in order TO main
tain themselves on their farms, and
they ask such aid in that direction as
the Legislature may deem proper. The
case is similar to that of the settlers in
Gratiot county in 1859, when the Leg
islature voted them temporary relief to
the extent Of 1000, which the coun-
ty has since REFUNDED. There seems no
doubt as 10 the propriety of such aid
in extreme cases, but in the present in.
stance it is difficult To see how the Leg.
Islature can act, the time for the intro
duction OF bills having expired.

II Is related of Bishop Simpson, the
eminent Methodist divine, that after
he had been elected TO the Episcopac,
he was at . Pennsylvania town, anc
had himself introduced TO the pastor
there as "Mr." Simpson, and aftel
much trouble obtained permission h.
preach in the pastors pulpit. Whilt
the collection was being taken up th.
pastor, who was astonished at th.
preachers eloquence, asked, "Are 20,
travelling preacher7" "Yes," said
Bishop Simpson, 81 have been an itin-
Grant for several years, and now travel

ence do you belong tor" 81 did b

say that am attaclel TO any particu.
lar conference" "What did you say
your name was?" Simpson. "Simp-
sonl Not Bishop Simpson," "why,
they call me Bishop sometimes. "
Greatly surprised, he rose and exclaim-
cd, ''I have the pleasure TO announce
10 the congregation that the eloquent
preacher who has addressed MS this
mor1ing is Bishop Simpson" II may
be imagined that the announcement
created q sensation.

Probably the greatest American
newspaper In the New York Times, in
point OF ability and in real wealth. II
has real estate supposed TO be the most
valuable Of that of any newspaper i'm
the world. being the ground ON which
its building is located ut the very heart
OF the metropolis, which yields splen-
did rental, besides the papers earn
ings. It's manager and principal own
er, Mr.. George Jones, has given figures
OF the papers business for 1875, which
shows the earnings have been $500, 900
for the year; expenses, s660, ,000. "a net
profit OF Si5l, 900. or nearly $13, 900 O
month. Items Of the expense were: !:
composition bills Ito pnnters), $780,
600; paper bills, $500, 900. This last
item OF newspaper expense admits
some rather startling computations.
The Times paper bills would average
$3.50 per day, 5000 per week. $40. 600
per month. The print paper used for
one issue would reach A miles IL the
sheets were placed end TO end; II

how, Mr.. Jones has been lately telling
q western correspondent. He aud
Raymond, bo says, were ht Albany.
Crossing the uadson 10 see some
friend 1t the cara, they spoke Of the
success OF tho Tribune. 1--WE had
worked together on the Tribune" says
Jones. ''he (Raymond) as reporter
and writer, and in tho business de.

brag hs 10 its circulation and receipts.
Raymond -aid: "If they can make
that amount OF money, We eau hardly
fail So we came down to the city
from Albany aud made onr arrange
ments. We had 800, 900 subscribed
and called in. When we resolved to
build, in 1857, We called for thirty per
cent moro. This is all the money this
paper has over called for. less by S25..
900 than onr net earnings in q dull
year like 1876" In such n manner.
and from such trivial incident was
the great Journal founded, which was
successful from its very conception.
The opportunity should not be let
pass OF observing that Raymond was n
Western man. He spent some years in
Michigan, and his earlier years were
identified with the interests OF that
State. He had brother-perbaps has

LIFE INSURANCE.

A writer in the Galaxy for May dis
cusses the subject OF life insurance
with unusual freedom aud intelligence.
To begin with, he tells us: "The frauds
OF life insurance date from the period
when companies were started for the
purpose OF making money. and with
the appearance Of being philanthropi-
cal institutions. Savings banks have
gone through the same experience, and
IL is a sad one. Men who attempt to
lead the public TO believe that they are
engaged in an enterprise based, not
upon the selfish principal Of profit. but
upon the unselfish principle of doing
good, and who then deliberately go 10
work TO fill their own Golfers by means
OF the business, are. to say the least,
obtaining their uoney by false pre-.
lenses. Commenting upon the GU
rious proceedings brought TO light by
the investigation into the sffsirs of the
Continental Life Insurance Company.
he says: "You will say that this is only
oue-csse. aud tha. il il an exception,
aud that companies honestly managed
will not permit such things. i grant
you the latter part of your answer. but
ssk you 10 show Iue an honestly man-
e a company; ! know but very few.
lt Will be found, on stiestiop, that
these practices. or others quite as bad,
flourish IN every company, IN this State
ct least, with few exceptions. Every
policy.holder in a life insurance com
paDy sho is asked to surrender his
policy and take money for il, or snotb-
or policy, may rest assured that there

tion, snd that whoever will make mon.

ance Of companies, aud the consequent

a Isody.snatehing Case.

ASs ARDoR, April 23.-The discovery
OF the freshly buried remains OF the
body OF "a woman yesterday in tie fair
ground southeast of the city has crea-
ted considerable excitement. The cir
cumstances arc as follows, "a revealed
by partial inquest and otherwise
About ten o'clock on Saturday night
George Keal, who lives near the fair
ground, had his attention attracted to
two men who had driven up to the To-
cality above mentioned. They took a
box from buggy. lifted il ever the
fence, aud soon after departed. He
came out and spoke with them. but
failed TO recognize who they were. On
tho following morning he made an in
yestigntion and found that something
had evidently been buried. He in-
formed policeman and one or two
other parties, who by digging soon dis
covered the mutilatea remains OF hu.
man being. The coroner then sum-
moned jury, and further investiga-
ton showed the body 10 be that Of an
elderly woman. The face was uninjur-
oil except that the eyes had been re-
moved. One or two pieces of clothing
were wrapped about the body, which
had been unceremoniously tossed into
the hole and covered with few inches
OF earth. With the remains was found
part Of German newspaper with the
address OF prominent physician OF
this city. This led TO further investi.
cation this morning, and pieces OF
beard smeared with blood, and few
stray hairs attached. were found in this
physicians barn. He has since left
town. gone no one knows where. The
body is supposed TO be that OF "a we'll.
known Irish lady of Sorth1eld, who
died some months Gg). The supposi-
ton is that this doctor has been engag-
ed in this kind of work quite exten-
siyely OF late. furnishing material for
students, and at length got careless OF
disposing OF the remains. Should il
be- the person referred 20, there will be-
some sharp retaliation as the Irish are
pretty near furious.

Not half the persons who lay shin.

EArHa W. DRrxKrSs.-If you would
keep from drinking SO great quantity
Of ardent spirits, eat more. Eat nu-
trititious food. Eat something whom
ever you take . drink Inebriety
comes from the stomach being full Of
whisky and no food. There is Q sim
pie lesson yet to be learned by many
and that is that they do not eat enough
real blood, bone, nerve, and tissue
making food. You may half starve to
death on salt fish. potatoes, cabbage,
turnips, fried liver, stewed kidney and
O score OF other dishes which please
the taste, but add little or nothing TO
the body force. Eggs, the best Of
steak, mutton and bread are what one
requires for strength. II is this nn-
conscious hslf-starved condition which
causes so much Of the craving for Q

that is quickest gained through . glass
