met officers are understood to be ministers of
the President rather than of the public, and
looking upon these selections as matters of
taste it was not difficult for Republican to
acquiesce in them, although quite difficult to
commend them.
In the selection of Secretaries and their sub.
0rdInates the President has great latitude for
the exercise of discretion, but in the selection
OF governors of states he has no discretion
whatever. The people of the states, in the
exercises OF their own uncontrolled discretion,
select their own governors Upon the Presi-
dent is charged the single duty of recognizing
such governors as the people of the states may
from time to time make choice Of. When the
President was inaugurated Stephen B. Pack
ard was Governor of Louisiana. Within sixty
days after that inauguration he ceased to be
governor. When he disappeared the will of
Louisiana was subverted and trampled upon.
Such an event is always matter of sincere
regret to all who respect Republican institu-
tons.. But very few such events should be re-

THE Emperor William is indisposed.
That is, he is indisposed to mix up in the
trouble between Russia and England.
However, if these two nations should get
to loggerheads, the old Emperor's indis-
position will very speedily disappear.
He will become convalescent in less than
no time, and he ready to take hand in
the muss.

Old Dryasdust.

Masliabcchi, the celebrated librarian of
Florence, lived, ate, drank and slept
among his books; he lived in the most
-scqucstered and philosophical manner,
scarcely ever leaving the city. His house
was but one continued pile of books; his
lower rooms were crowded with them,
rot only along the wainscot, but in piles
to a considerable height, and 60 spread
on tie floor that there was not the least
place for sitting down, much less for
walking, except long, narrow passage
leading from one room to the other. The
porch of this house was, in the same
manner, everywhere stuffed with books,
as far IS the projecting awning would Sc.
cure them from rain. The stair case was
lined all the way up with this library
furniture, as were all the upper rooms
Magliabechi generally shut himself up all
the day, and opened his doors 10 the
evening to the men of letters who came
to converse with him. He was negligent
in his person, and was usually dressed in
black, with q waistcoat reaching to his
knees. His cloak, which was also black,
served him for morning gown in the
day and for bed clothes at night; it was
generally much patched, in consequence
Of the holes he burnt in it. He wore a
large hat and Florentine band round
his neck. On one arm he carried pan,
10 which was . constant fire for warming
his hands, end his clothes bore evidence
of their being often too nearly connected
with il. His linen, be usually wore IN.

On yesterday, the wife OF Alonzo Mo-
scs, lately married, and living p miles
to the southeast of this place, while
cleaning door yard and burning the
rubbish, unfortunately had her dress
caught by the flame, and before 1t could
be extinguished, she was severely in

ny are very generous in rendering all

will possibly justify, although many
persons Interested In shipping, may
find fault because all they ask for cam
not be granted; but when you consider
that the oppression of tho times have
been harder on r. n. Companies and
incorporate bodies generally, than up

Nirvana, tile future great city, Is II
thriving town, situated OH the Flint &
Pere Marquette R'y, one of the finest
thoroughf.res in the Union, running
directly through vast body of pine
timber. AS we get on board of the cars
ut Reed City, and travel west, we be-
hold the mighty denizcns of the forest
on every hand-the noble Norway and
white pine rear their lofty heads toward
the heavenly canopy, clothed In cter-
nal emerald. And beneath, at the foot
of these mighty giants, are spread
beautiful flowers ami swcetly periumed
blossoms of the delicious fruits Of the
strawberry and the widc-found huckle
and blackbcrries. The colurs Of tile red,
the white and blue are there in all their
pristine glory. The wild flowers, Ma
lures Jewels, everywhere abound, of
every shade, tint and hue. 1t seems
they try to out vie the rainbow in all
of its sublime grandeur.
AS we approach our city, on light
ming wings, there before our astonished
gaze behold the smoke and steam In
clouds, ISSUING from towering CHM

forms US, makes his 25, 900 shingles per
day. We next pass into the packing
room. Tile Chinee with his cliOpsticks
could not handle them more adrOitly
than these shingle packers. We step
quietly into the broom handle factory,
conducted 10y the noble, tall, beautiful
and fair Mr.. Wallace. What racket
and din of niachincry for the purpose
of turning tl,e wornan's weapon. Mr..
Wallace, with his open countenance,
on seeing tile reporter, draws froni his
capacious pockets letters and orders
which he is laboring hard to fiji.
Again we pass OF, through I'd the en-
gine room, where sam. IL monarch Of

We have already spoken q bear
catching In Manistee town by Mess'S.
Goolenow and Thompson. Webelieve
We have referred To the catching OF
two, the last one having been m IL
TONED last week. On last Wednesday,
however, they trapped tue third one,
which turned out To be rather young.
Monday of this week Mr.. GOodehOw
sent word down to us that u large one
much older than the Others--had
been caught, and desired us 10 go up
and sec IL. We went up about eleven
O'clock In the forenoon, and after pass
Ing the swamp north Of Hugh Medium
eas' farm, We passed OH up the hill and
turned into the woods near Rietz Bros.
old camp. Just cast Of the slianty we
found IIruin with his foot in the trap
ani the trap caught under log. He
had dragged the rrup several hundred
yards from where he was caught, and
had almost pulled his foot OFT In his
frantic efforts To free himself from Its
iron grasp. The small trees all through
the wu0ds where lie had gone, and the
logs, were torn almost into fragments
by his teeth. After looking the brute
over Il few moments, MIR. GoOdenow
lcveled his rifle ut him and sent bull
let through his brain. He weighed
over three hundred pounds and was
very fat, nearly eight g'.llosls Of oil be-
ing taken from him.
To those who are not acquainted with
the manner Of Ofcatching bears, we would
say that they are caught In large steel
trap male in the same shape that small
steel traps for catching rats are made.
A Kind of n den Is constructed near an
old up-tlIrned tree root with one end
open for an entrance, and the other
closed. A piece OF dead horse, cow, or
other animal Is put in the back part of
the den, and the trap set in the en-
trancc. The trap has n chain to it, and
II large ring on the eud of the Chain.
This ring Is slipped over IL large stout
pole, und then spikes are put in the
pole to keep the ring from slipping of
This Is fixed in that way 50 the bear
can wander about but cannot go far,
the pole becoming entangled In the
brus., and trees.-.M1,istee Times.
