To the Editor of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE,
1t appears to have taken the encepha-
Ion of ''Item" more than a week to lu-
brueste bomb shell to explode, scintil-
lating with wit and satire, to completely
annihilate "Dr. j. R. BIS" nest Of eccen-
trio hens eggs.
Some hens are extremely literary (lit-
terery) and few individuals are very
funny also. And when so inclined, they
may be punny. Our Christian friend,
who, in your issue of the 9Th inst, alludes
to an eggs-agerated article in your paper
of the 22d ult., might, perhaps, be classed
as one Of those funny fellows. History
tells us that Socrates, who was a cele-
brated philosopher, got fOOred by Hen
bdne, and departed from this world into
ethereal space, and medical gentlemen
inform us that too much study and fore
thought will enlarge the brain and open
the soft spots in the head.
We have read OF mares nests" but we
never before heard Of "cows" nests" with
"eggs" in it. However, truth is stranger
than fiction, and that "calf "tcertainly is 8
fine one, and the "cow" ditto, but the
calf may be, nevertheless, Lusus nature.
We have heard of "eggs" being found in a
COWS" bin, and it may be that Item"
has been in that bin poaching. We missed
some ''eggs" about that time, and the
neighbors reported, and it was currently
believed, that man from OHIO had been
doing "hennous" thing. He is non
nested (non-eSt-ed). QUORUM.

The Marquette aud Mackinac Rail-
road.

The Nrgaunee Herald says: Mr.
James F. JOY has within few days past
signified his intention 10 take AN active
interest in The construction of the Mar
quelte and Mackinac Railroad. Mr.. Joy
is one of the most able railroad men i'm
the United States. and to him, more than
to any other individual, Michigan owes
the credit for her present magnificent
system of railroads. From framing the
law to furnishing the money and super
intending the construction Mr.. Joy has
always displayed remarkable efficiency.
From the beginning Mr.. Joy has mani
tested lively interest in this project,
but until lately has refused to become
pscuniarily interested in its construction.
We have been told by Mr.. II. B. Led.
yard, general manager of the Michigan
Central. who has recently had a confer
ence with w. b. Vanderbilt, that he has
decided to continue the NC. r. R.,
known as the Jackson, Lansing and Sagi-
nav, the northern terminus OF which is
at Gaylord. Otsego county. to Mackinaw
City on the straits. This, with the CO.
operation of Mr.. Joy i'm the NJ. and NJ.

No Bridge.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says that the
renewed attempt ofthe railroad people
to break down the opposition to bridge
at Detroit being exposed, vessel owners
are waking up to the fact that if the
bridge project is to be defeated they
must continue the fight which they have
been compelled to make for several years
past. The fact that the threat to build a
tnnnel below Detroit has scared some
few owners there into Withdrawing their
opposition to bridge makes owners at
other lake ports all the more enraged,
and their voices will be heard in Con-
gress now all tie louder. 1t is under
stood that bill is ready to be SNUG
gled through allowing bridge, and Pc
titions against the scheme will be for
warded. Several different papers wire
in circulation in Chicago for signatures
and they were being numerOusly signed.
These petitions cite the fact that tun-
mel is just rs feasible and just is =, elp as
a bridge, and pronounce against the
erection OF bridge. Petitions were also
being circulated in al the prominent
lake ports and receiving large numbers
Of signatures.

The Vote ON tho Jail Tax.

We have not been able to get the
exact vote OF all the townships, upon the
question of the Jail tax. but We believe
the vote is very near unanimous in its ia
vor. In Benton the vote stood 2l0 for,and
5 against. In Beaugrand there was not
a vote cast against it. In Inverness the
vote was As for to l against. In the
other towns We did not hear what the
result was, but we have no doubt the re-
turns will show but little opposition to
tax, in any event there is no question
about the tax being voted, which will
secure Jail. Many express the opinion
that it would been better to have voted a
larger sum than the $4,000 and build a
more substantial building, but the "a 600
if properly expended should. consider
ing the low prices for material and labor.
erect very good building, one that
would answer every purpose and be
creditable to the enterprise OF the county.

Log Prospect in tho saginaw valley.

The Saginaw Herald of tie 3rd says
another calamity seems to stare our
lumbermen in the face. The principal
amount of the pine is now cut at tie
heads OF our streams. These streams are
full of logs, not half full. The snow in
high places is gone, scarcely any left ex-
cept i'm swamps. The ground was free
of frost when the snow went off and
soaked the water in and the streams are
so low that the rollways in many cares
cannot be broken. Even the Tittabawas-
see Salt, which is one of the best streams,
has not Sufficient water 10 start log.
The weather is very dry nov and the
prospect is that one extreme follows an
other, for last year was wet. The rule.
of late years. in this country, has been
too dry weather, and the indie ltiOns are
that this may be one. When streams
are overloaded it takes twice the time to
drive; hence the water must be ample to
last, and the opinions Of the most prac-
ticed men are that the streams have not
been so low ut the first of April as now
for ten years,

The Result I'm the state.

Michigan still retains her place in the
ranks of the Republican states. The
latest returns received in our exchanges
would indicate that the majority will be
from 1000 to 10000. The Detroit Free
Press OF Wednesday comedies the state to
the Republicans by 5000, while on
Tuesday they would not acknowledge
the defeat of the coalition. The coalition
:sts are badly disappointed. the towns in
which they had aheir greatest expecta-
tons, failed to do the great things ex-
pected. We have been unable to get the
returns from all the towns In this county
but believe that the result will be a
small majority tor the Republican ticket,

How 1t Works,

Alcoholic insanity is manifested in great
variety of ways, sometimes quiet and harm
less to others than the drunken lunatic, some
times otherwise. When its crazsd victims
take possession of railway engines and start
out on a mad race it is a serious matter.
Such case occurred recently at Parkers.
burg, West Virginia. A drunken telegraph
operator, while out on a "spree," went into
the railroad yard, from which he took a
locomotive which was attached to four coal
hoppers, and started down the road at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour. He had
gone about five miles when he met the pas
senger train from the east. Into that he
ran at full speed, wrecking both locomotives
and throwing them, with the baggage car,
off the track. Fortunately the passenger
cars kept the track, and no one was injured.
The engineer and fireman of the passenger
train jumped and escaped serious injury,
The drunken lunatic was found in the wreck
somewhat but not seriously injured. The
indignation of the passengers, as may be in
ferred, upon learning the full state of the
case was very great, and the fellow narrowly
escaped lynching. He was subsequently
lodged in Jail, and the following day, after
he had recovered from his drunken frenzy,
said that he "was totally unconscious OF
anything connected with the affair" The
destruction of property aud the detention of
travel were serious results to those directly
involved, but providentially no lives were
lost. How great was the peril to all is OBJ
vious. The state owes protection to the
lives and property of its citizens against
such awful, and apoidable risks. 1t is not
extended by legalzing the liquor traffic.

The Grain of Butter.

Mr.. Ellsworth, in his article above quoted,
after describing his method of working but
ter, which is modification of the old two
lines plan, says: "Butter made as de-
scribed will break off short, and show a
beautiful grain, instead OF being waxy, as
good butter is often described. But waxy
butter that will break off short, and look like
broken cast iron, has marked keeping quail
ties. Butter can be worked until it has no
more grain than lard, and be completely
spoiled, and yet have fine waxy appear
ance." The rationale of this matter is that
the longer we work our butter the drier and
closer grained we make it. When the grain
gets rather fine and close we call it waxy."
But if worked too long, and especially at too
high temperature, we go beyond the
" waxy" into the "salvy" stage. We do
not consider waxy butter spoiled, though it
does not suit some buyers as well as that
having more moisture and a coaser grain.
When it has no more grain than lard it
has passed out of the waxy stage; though if
it is then broken only when very cold it
will present a tallowy rather than lardy
fracture, and appear to have little grain.

What Is Malt Liquor!

l. A quart of malt liquor contains an
ounce and half of spirit, two spoonfuls of
lecayed barley, few particles of hop, and
pint and three-quarters of water.
q How much nutriment is there in malt
liquor? Not more than cents worth in a
quart, although one and half pounds OF
good barley are used in making it.
g. What is malt? 1t is simply barley
brought into the same vegetated state a.
wheat when it sprouts and spoils in un.
seasonable weather, destroying much of the
nutrition.
A. Why, then, do they malt barley? That
the ale may be more intoxicating. Sugar is
the basis of all spirit. By mailing, some OF
the starch is changed into sugar. iu mash.
ng, this sugar is dissolved and in fermenta
ton it is converted into alcohol
5. What induces people to like beer
The alcohol Evaporate that, and nothing
remains which could induce any person to
taste it.
6. Does not the alcohol add to its value
Nothing; on the contrary, it produces thirst
stimulation, intoxication, with all the i'm
mense train of evils which constantly spring
from beer-drinking.
7. What is the influence of the hop? Tc
make people heavy, sleepy, dull and stupid.
s. Does beer quench thirst No; it in
creases thirst, and the more man drink:
the more thirsty he is. All beer is simply
colored and fred water, and hence ale-bib
oers drink much more water than teetotalers
0. What is there to support and strengthen
man in ale or beer ? The water and alco
mol go Immediately into the veins, and while
the alcohol poisons aud deceves, the water
unnecessarily dilutes the blood, overcharge'
the vessels and loads the kidneys and blad
