A Mystery of the Great Lakes.

There is a mystery about the Ameri
can lakes. Lake Erie is only 60 to 20
feet deep. But Lake Ontario is 500
feet deep, 23O feet below the tide level
OF the ocean, or as low as most parts of
the Gulf OF st. Lawrence and the bot
tom OF Lakes Huron, Michigan and Su-
perlor, although the surface is much
higher, are all from their vast depths on
a level with the bottom of Ontario,
Now, as the discharge through the river
Detroit, after allowing for the probable
portion carried off by evaporation, does

mustered out, but that we may ever
keep in mind, and also hand down
to future generations a memorial
of the loyal, undying patriotism OF
those who fell. We owe tribute of
respect to them, and to the wives,
children and friends they have left
behind them.
BY It we not only commemorate
their courage and heroism, but
teach our children to venerate them,
and to count it their highest honor,
to have descended from men who
have furnished the world with the
most eminent examples Of pa
triotism and devotion to country.
1t is right, my friends, that one day
in the year he devoted to this noble
and patriotic dnty. 1t is peculiar
ly appropriate for us to turn aside
from the busy scenes OF pleasure
and employment, to show our res
pect for those who fell in the midst
of battle.
To Company II, who are present
in obedience, alike to duty, patriot
ism and affection, we all yield a
tribute of deserved respect and
commentator. Led by the already
famous Alpena Guards Band, you
form combination of Musical and
Military talent, Of which any city
may well be proud.
In conclusion, these services are
due to the living and the dead, for
the brave men who gave their lives
to their country deserve to be held
in perpetual remembrance, and the
living need to have kindled anew
in their hearts the spirit of self
forgetting and patriotic devotions.
To these shrines let us lead our
children with their offerings OF
flowers, recount to them the awful
realities OF war, the ultimate re-
wards of resistance to wrong, and
adiure them to preserve and defend
the costly treasure of free institu-
, tions, purchased at such sacrifice
Waves of sorrow will indeed at
times overwhelm those whose
household treasures lies in their
graves, but the soothing influences
of fellowship in sorrow, will in
some measure assuage their griefs'
Soon our noble work will be done
for another year, and we shall re-
turn to our several vocations to en-
gage in the bloodless conflict OF
honorable competition. We shall
; leave these flowers to wither and
/ decay, and mingle their fragrant
dust with the ashes of the dead,
) Long may this anniversary be OBJ
! served, and with its return may the
grateful living unite in bringing
earth's richest and choicest flowers
to decorate the graves Of the Ma
| tons patriotic dead.
At the close of the address the
Band played a national air, and
the ceremonies at the cemetery
was closed by a prayer from Rev
H. C.. Scotford.
The graves in the cemetery dec
Grated were few, as the friends ot
the departed veterans failed to give
notice to the committee as to their
last resting place.

THE COMING PRESIDENT.

1t is useless to shut our eyes to the fact that
the "Grant Boom" means something more
than a mere flash in the pan. One day We
read of the enthusiasm displayed towards
him in California; the next, a dispatch from
a Boston daily paper says the Grant boom is
as strong there as in California, while to-day
the news comes that the Republican Conven-
ton in Louisiana has strongly asserted its
preference for the ex-President, and that Sec
rotary Evarts, who once strongly opposed
him, now expresses his convictions that he is
the man the country needs. Observing gen.
tlemen now in Montana who have recently
come from all sections of the country, state
that the feeling is universal among Democrats
and Republicans that Grant will be the Re-
publican candidate. IL is true that there will
be a strong contest for the honor. Blaine
has a large personal following and his per-
sonai magnetism, his niatchless eloquenee,
his. briIliancy of genius, which challenge the
admiration Of even his political enemies, will
exert a powerful influence on the members

Going Back Into the Ranks.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-The Evening Post.
with which the movement to scratch Cornell
and Soule originated, follows the Times back
into the ranks OF the straight Republicans.
Commenting upoa Evarts' speech, the Post
says: "The independent Republicans .annot
fail to measure the magnitude OF the work
which they have undertaken to do, when
men like Evarts, and other members of the
Cabinet, and the President, himself with
the strength which their eminent position
gives them, despair of fixing public attention
upon their grievance in the face of the opln-
ion which IS running swiftly in another direc-
ton. The effort of other men to do so, who
are backed by neither influence nor organiza-
ton, is rather hopeless if the President and
his associates refuse to scratch Cornell on
their own account. Republican voters will
ask themselves why they should scratch Cor
nell on account of the President and his as
sOciates."

An exchange gives the following reasons for
the increase of suicides: First, the sudden
loss of wealth to many rich men occasioned
BY the war. Second, events following the
war which changed us into a restless, impa-
tent people. Third, infidelity which, by sub
shutting for religion the idea that death is a
release, causes America to follow in the steps
of suicidal. intidel France. Fourth, the fact
hat crime is made respectable. Fifth, the
habit of gambling. An eminent French
writer said that this country prospered and
was moral as long as the body polite could
eminate the poison of immigration. But we
have become the cess-pool of the world, and
the results are coming.
