Last week Senator VOORHEES, made an
effort to call up the House bin to repeal
the resumption act, and the vote thereon
indicated qnite conclusivsly that finan-
cial legislation for the session is finished.
Upon motion as to the order of busi-
ness, there were three bills antag-
onizing one another; the army bill,
the river and barbor bill. and the re-
sumption repeal bill. The first vote was
taken on the question, whether the army
bill or the river and harbor bill should
be taken up, and the Senate voted to take
up the army bill, then the friends of the
resumption repeal law antagODized
against the consideration of the army
bill, claiming that if IL was not taken up
to-day it would not be at this session. A
square vote was reached, and by yeas 35
to nays 33 the Senate decided to 90 on
with the army bill. thus practically de-
feating the resumption repeal bill. This
was, however, in accordance with an
agreement made before Forts bill pro-
hibitihg contracts was passed, that that
should end the financial legislation for
this session.

n -
HE supreme court has heretofore
refused to grant the state mandamus
to compel county to raise money to
pay deficiencies in its re-sales OF state
TAX lands held for more than five years.
on the ground that the act of 1869, undef
which such mandamus was asked, was
insufficient to authorize such demands.
A mandamus is now asked by the treas
urer OF Gratiot county to compel the
Auditor General 10 refund tu'the county
sums withheld Tor such charges in its
actual settlements with tile state under
a mptual mistake as to law. and with
the acquiescence of the county officers.
This is also refused for the reasons a.
that there is nothing in the character OF
the claim itself to distinguish it from an
ordinary action for money had and re-
celyed anu to warrant the remeGy by
manlamns' and this conclusion is not
affected by the fact that the state cannot
be sued without its own consent; (2) that
the judicial action of the head of an
executive department OF the state gov
eriment is not open to any direct pro-
ceeding for review. This is an exceed
ingly important decision, as it defines
the somewhat shadowy boundary OF
power between two departments of the
state government, and also saves large
sum to the state treasury.

1t is becoming question: In the MINDS
of some, whether or not Cheboygan is to
ever receive the benefit of the appropria-
ton of $4,000 made some ye.rs since by
Congress for building towers and estab-
fishing range lights for the harbor. The
Importance of the harbor and the bust
ness of the port are snch as would
appear to us to have demanded the con-
strrction of the ranges long ere this, but
for some reason or other their erection
is yet in the future. There is considera-
bic complaint on the part of the masters
of the various crafts calling in here of the
inadequacy of the present temporary
lights, especially is this so on the part of
the masters of Canadian propellers who
are obliged to call here on their upward
passage to report. If the weather is in
the least thick. if they arrive any time
during the night they are compelled to
wait for daylight before thsycan make the
harbor. They insist that being compell-
ed to stop here, simply for the purpose
OF reporting, under the most favorable
circumstances is sufficient delay and tax
on their time without being compelled to
wait for hours in order to enter the har-
Dor with safety. Shortly after the appro-
priation was made the proper officers of
the Light House department visited our
village and made selections aud bargain
cd for suitable sites for the ranges but
the titles to the ground selected were not
satisfactory to the government officials.
Since then, We understand, arrangements
were made whereby the government
would be fully protected ia its rights
should the property selected be purchas-
ed, but for some reason or other there
seems to be no move upon the part of
the Light House department to erect the
lights. The business of the port increases
each year and at the present time there
are sixteen steamers that make regular
calls here IN addition TO which there are
number steamers which are obliged to
report here on their upward pas
sage besides the numerous sailing
craft from Canadian ports which have
also to report here. Already this season
there have been fourteen different Cana
dian steamers that have reported here
some of them number of times, and the
greater part of the time they have ar
rived in the night and some. of them have
been considerable delayed for the want
OF proper range lights to effect the en-
trance with safety. The number of sail
ing vessels reporting has been much
larger than that of the steamers, and a
great portion of these have reached the
straits during the night. Tie feeling
among the masters is that if the govern
ment requires them to report here it
should provide suitable lights, and until
such lights are provided we think the
vessel men have cause to complain. We
are confident that If our citizens would
tmke hold OF this matter and represent
the situation properly { o the authorities
and make an effort to OBJECT it, that the
early erection of these range lights could
be secured.
This season should not pass without
the ranges being built, and we hope to
see some effort made upon the part of
our citizens 10 push the matter $50 as to
secure the lights at as early day as pos
sible.

Dropping Corn.

Little Katie went with the gray old squire,
("Mho was he ?" Child, he was your grand
sire.
To the fnrrowed field, in the dewy morn.
''Now sing" said he, ''as you drop the corn,
s0a< for 1ss Aack-bird, one for the cr0se,
One for The cut norm, and too 10 groIe. +"
The cut-worm wriggled beneath the ground,
As i've smooth kernels, every time,
Little Katie dropped, with the sing-song
rhyme,
''One for the black-bird, one for the crow,
One for the cut-worm and two to grow"
The old squire covered the grain with soil.
Snow see" he said, ''they will have their
spoil ~
That's sure; but still We shall get our share,
If you always count, as you drop, with care,
One for the black bird, one for the crow,
One for the cut-worm, and two to grow.
When kernels spreut and the green blades
grow,
The crow and blackbird and cut-worm know.
And woe for the corn field in harvest days,
Unless little Katie in planting says,
''0ne for the blackbird, one for the crow,
One for the cut-worm, and two to grow"
Thus do we plant with our older hands,
In wider fields and DER broader lands
Since for good seed sown by the land or sea,
In the air or earth foe may be-
zone for the blackbird, one for the crow,
One for the cut-worm, and two to grow"
The ''two to growI" That Is all ask
As the seed times bring me my planting task.
l know who leads to his furrowed field;
As He wills plant, at his will shall yield
''One for the black-bird, one for the crow,
One for the cut-worm, and two to grow"

How TO Bake Beans.

The receipt for baking beans after
the real New England style is as fol-
lows: Pick over the beans carefully,
wash clean with cold water. and place
in kettle, covering them two or three
inches deep with cold water and par
boil one hour. Having selected piece
of nice home raised pig pork, well
mixed with lean meat; about one
pound to one quart of beans, place it in
a pan, and turn the water from
the parboiled beans over it
while hot, draining all the water from
the beans. Place the beans in an
earthen crock, filling about two thirds
full; scrape the rind of the pork
thoroughly, until it looks white and
nice, then rinse in Iclean water and
score the rind through about one-half
inch apart and place on top of the
beans. buryingftabout halfits.thickness
in the beans, .rind uppermOSt; add
water enough fairly to cover the beans,
and place in moderately hot oven.
