III DAILY CHRONICLE, and
Weekly WING AND CHRONICLE,
viii be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our iu-
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-11-21

IT is expected that the tenth Federal
census report will be a decided i'm
provement upon those of former years.
Hitherto it has been the custom to be-
gin the work of gathering statistics
for the census in the month of June-a
time of year when it has been very diff
fcult, and often impossible, to obtain
accurate information. But new meth
DDS have been adopted by Supt. Walker,
and agents are already at work in vari-
Gus parts of the country gathering data
upon subjects of interest, which it is be-
ieved will be more reliable than any
vet published.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-11-21

COLLISIONS at sea are frequent
enough to make the recently promul-
gated international code of rules reg
ulating the manner in which vessels
shall pass each other matter of great
interest and Importance. This new
code will not go into operation till
Sept. l, 1880, and meanwhile pilots and
Captains will have time to become ia
miliar with the provisions. The new
code gives rules for vessels passing
each other at sea, regulations to secure
the safety of steamers laying telegraph
ic cables, for steamers that have been
disabled, and for slow steamers, and
DEGREES that steamers and sailing vessels
shall go at slow speed in fogs, mists, or
snow-storms. Doubtless these sea
laws, being binding upon all nations,
will greatly simplify navigation.

Not ssSlippered" Ease.

One of our printers, returning home
the other evening after a hard days
work, concluded he would have quiet
smoke, and proceeded to incase his
feet in pair of slippers. He slipped
off his shoes and put one foot in, but
that foot hadn't been in the slipper but
a half second when it was jerked out
with such force as to knock the table
over and demolish five chairs; at the
same time he let out howl OF anguish
of such intensity that several gentlemen
rushed in, expecting to find some one
in the clutches of foul murderer, but
instead found the printer dancing one
of Strauss select waltzes on one foot,
while his arms were going round like q
windmill. They advanced on him to
investigate the phenomenon, when
wasp took one of the gentlemen behind
the ear, completely routed the relief
committee, and settled the question
then and there. There was q whole
family OF wasps in that slipper, fortified

The London Medical Record sums
up as follows the results of some very
interesting measurements of heads by
two French physicians, Messrs. La
cassagne and Cliquet: Having the
patients, doctors, attendants and officers
of the Val de Grace at their disposal
they measured the heads of $50 doctors
of medicine, 1873 soldiers who had re-
ceived an elementary instruction, 80
soldiers who could neither read nor
write, and 81 soldiers who were prison
ers. The instrument used was the same
which matters employ in measuring the
heads Of their customers. 1t is called
the conformator, and gives very cor
rect idea of the proportions of the heads
in question. The results were in favor
of the doctors, the frontal diameter was
also much greater than that of
the soldiers, etc. Nor are both
halves of the head SYMMETRY
cally developed. In students the
left frontal region is more developed
than the right; in illiterate individuals
the right occipital region is larger than
the left. The authors have derived the
following conclusions from their exper'
iments: First, the heads of students
who have worked much with their
brains are much more developed than
those OF ilhterate individuals, or such

The Irish harp was about four feet

SOME firm in Germany is attempting
to substitute paper for wool in the
manufacture of lead-pencils. The pa
per is stepped in an adhesive liquid,
and rolled round the core of lead to the
required thickness. After the paper is
dry it is cOlored, and it resembles, when
finished, an ordinary cedar pencil.
WICKs made of spun glass have been
tried III lamps, and it is said they do
very well. It is said that they supply
the petroleum, oil or alcohol to the
flame with more steadiness than the or
binary wick; that they secure clear
and pure light at less expense of fuel,
and that they diminish the usual un-
pleasant odor.
The peculiar pebbles known in Aus.
tria as the travelling stones have long
been regarded as great curiosities.
Similar ones have just been discovered
in Nevada, almost round in shape, and
as large as walnut. The cause of these
stones rolling to a common point from
distances of three or four feet is the
lodestone or magnetic iron ore of which
they are composed.
The strangest news coming to us from
Germany-even stranger than that the
effeminate Viennese should welcome
the man who conquered them at Konig-
GRATIS that learned doctor has dis
covered means of dyeing human eyes
any color he likes, not only without
injury to the delicate orbs, but, as he as
serts, with positive advantage to the
powers of sight. He can not only give
fair ladies eyes black as night or blue as
Orient skies by day, but he can turn
them out in hue of silver or of gold. He
says golden eyes are extremely becom-
ing. Nothing goes down without a
grand name; therefore the German
doctor calls his discovery Ocular
Transmutation. He declares himself
quite ready to guarantee success and
harmlessness in the operation.
How MosoUITo BITEs.-The bill of

The bill has blunt fork at the head,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the center of the angle of the fork, is a
lance of perfect form, sharpened with a
fine bevel. Beside it the most perfect
lance looks like handsaw. On either
side of this lance two saws are arranged
with the points sharp and the teeth
well-defned and keen. The backs of
these saws play against the lance.
When the mosquito alights with it's Pc
culiar hum, it thrusts with its keen
lance and then enlarges the aperture
with the two saws, which play beside
the lance until the forked bill with the
capillary arrangement for pumping
blood can be inserted. The saving
process is what CRATES upon the nerves
of the victim and causes him to strike
wildly at the saver. The irritation OF
a mosquito bite is undoubtedly owing
to these saws.
