The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-04-25

Who says that the days of romance
are ended needs to read the strange his
tory of Scottish plowman who has re-
turned to his native heath after long
exile. Twenty years ago q farmer in
Orkney hired young man to do farm
work. The plowman touched the fancy
of his masters daughter, and the result
was that, in runaway fashion, and in
opposition to the will of the patriarchal
farmer, the two became man and wife.
The old gentleman was furious, and
turned his back determinedly on his
son-in-law. The young plowman kissed
his wife, left her in her fathers arms
and sailed for Australia, whence he
soon ceased to write. His wife became
mother, and RENAME in a state of
such wretched suspense that her father
began to repent of the treatment to
which he had subjected her husband.
Efforts were then made to trace the
whereabouts of the latter by means of
advertining in colonial papers and other
wise, put all to no purpose. He had
gone to America. Years passed. The
grandson grew up to manhood, and, not
liking farm work, babe adieu to Ork-
ney, took ship last year to the United
States, and, after some knocking about,
found employment in mercantile
house in Illinois. In the course of
business he discovered that the gentle
man at the head of the firm was native
of Scotland, hailing, indeed, from the
same district as himself. Occasional
meetings led to more minute inquiries
as to dates, names of places, persons
and the like, in the old country, and,
after being six months in the establish
ment, the youth found-however won
derful it may appear-that he was act
ually serving as clerk with no other
than his own father. The effect of this
discovery on both may be left to the
imagination of the reader. Father and
son are now in Scotland. The man
who went away penniless plowboy,
but returns rich, has been welcomed
with much emotion by his venerable
father in-law, who is still hale and
hearty, as well as by the wife whom he
left many years ago in her youth and
beauty, but who is now middle-aged
matron.-Ne,C York Tribune.

Running Down Black Mountain Wolf.

Mr.. S. l.. Kirtley, the proprietor of
the hotel at Bloomington, on Friday
last started out to summon witnesses
who lived on Hillegras prairie, in the
southeastern part of this county, and,
while riding leisurely along, he espied
large black wolf in wheat field close
by. Squirting his horse to its utmost
speed, he at once gave chase, and for
miles over the prairies and through
fields, with here and there a small skirt
of timber, on they sped, the wolf in the
lead, but the brave rider and dauntless
little horse always in sight, and often
close upon the VOLTS heels. 1t was
reckless ride over fences and through
farms, with never pause for breath.
AS they passed farm houses, the rider
shouted for help, and others joined in
the chase, until the number of pursuers
was a dozen or more. Still the little
horse kept the lead, while one after an
other of the fresh steeds fell to the rear.
After a run of twenty or twenty-five
miles, and when within quarter of
mile of Lowry City, small village in
st. Clair county, the race ended, and
the little horse ran directly over the
wolf, knocking it down. Kirtley was
unarmed, and, springing from his sad
die, grasped the vicious animal by the
mouth, pinioning its jaws with death
grip. Men came to his aid, and strong
cord was bound around the wolf mouth,
rendering it harmless. The cords were
unintentionally drawn so tight that the
animal died of strangulation and ex-
haustion shortly after being captured.
1t proved to be full-grown black
mountain wolf, fully three feet high, and
weighing probably 100 pounds.-Henry

GHOSTS OF what they once were" AS we meet

with unsuccessful physicians and remedies. In
offering his Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgatve Pellets for the above affec-
tons, DIR. Pierce does not recommend them as

be half wasted away. or there be a cancerous
complication, no physician or medicine eau
cure. The Discovery Is, however, an unequaled
pectoral and blood-puriier. 1t speedily cures
the most aggravated cough or cold, and, in its
early or middle stages, consumption. BY cor
recting all irregularities of the stomach and
liver II readily cures blotches, pimples, scrofu-
lous ulcers, punches" or tumors. Hundreds
testify that IL has restored their health, after
eminent physicians had failed. For consupa-

Doctors Fees.

The Prussian Minister of Public In.
struction has laid plan before the So.
ciety of Medicine, according to which
the regulation of doctors fees is to be
done away with. There is to be tariff
by which Judge can decide when APP
pications are made in court; but in
general doctors are to demand what
they like. The tariff in question is two
marks, or 80 cents, for first visit, and
one mark for every successive visit
When consultations are held, every
doctor is to get five marks for the first
time, ana three marks for the succeed
ing. In the physicians house 37t cents
is the charge for the first consultation,
and Is cents for every succeeding one.

The Marriage OF the Midgets.

It has been finally arranged, says the
New York Sun, after many discussions
between their families, that the Midgets
are to be married. Lucie Zarate, the
prospective bride, is Is years old, and
weighs trifle less than five pounds.
Her face is bright, but not progresses
ing. The bracelets she wears cannot
be buckled around the third finger of q
man of ordinary size. Her shoes made
to ORDER are two-and-a-half inches long,
and her gloves are about one inch from
the tip OF the longest finger to the but
ton at the wrist. Her cap was made
originally for doll in a Broadway
show-window. and it is good fit. In
the matter of jewelry she is profuse
On each hand she wears a diamond
ring; her brooch is q diamond, and she
has fondness for dangling ornaments
on her ears-such, for instance, as a
small diamond supplemented by Cali
fornia gold quarter of dollar
Gen. Mite, whose real name is Fran
els J. Flynn, weighs nine pounds and is
IA years old. His face is bright and
intelligent, and his conversation does
net belle it.
Are you going to marry Lucie? :"
the reporter asked him.
"Yes, we are going to be married"
"When?"
Next Saturday week"
"No," interrupted the female dwarf;
"next Sunday. / want it on Sunday"
It seems that the marriage is one Of
convenience as well as supposed affec-
ton. The dwarfs, belonging to differ
emit families, are liable to be separated
at any moment. 1t is thought best,
therefore, to bind them by ties that
cannot be broken by show-managers or
disagreeing parents. Gen. Mite is
twice the weight of his prospective
bride.
The preparations for the wedding are
going steadily forward. The bride is to
wear a white satin dress studded with
seed pearls. Small as her form is, it is
estimated that the bridal dress contains
no less than 1000 pearls. The BRIDE
groom is to wear the full dress suit, ex-
cepting that his vest of black cloth will
he replaced by q white vest.

Foreign Immigrants.

A correspondent writes that the lar
gest per cent. of foreign immigrants ar
irving in New York go to the States of
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Colorado, while the next largest go to
the older Western States of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois and Wisconsin. Only II
per cent. of the whole go South, and the
most of this fraction to Texas. The
opinion is also expressed that more
white people have moved West from the
Southern States the, past twelve months
than have moved into those States from
all quarters. Chicago Journal.

Postal Regulations.

A Postal Regulation which has been
in force for several months appears to
be very little known among business
men, to whom it is Of some pecuhiary
interest. Under its operation an un-
receiptsd bill or statement Of accounts
can now be mailed in an unsealsd en-
yelope at postage of one cent. To re-
ceipt bill or to write upon it any such
words as please remit will, however,
subject it TO letter rates Of postage; but
q req quest for remittance may be printed
as a part Of the head. Newspaper pub
fishers have the right to enclose with
their papers either receipted Or unre-
ceipted bills, but the addition Of any
written request will be treated as An
infringement of the law.

TyDhOld Fever.

Every case Of typhoid fever which
has occurred in our city, may be attri-
butsd to exposure, carelessness or ne
elect. In other words the condition of
the system Of the sufferers, through
some dsrangement, originated the dis
ease. 1t did not originate from the
Of the air breathed, or the
quality Of the water drank, or the en-
tire number OF residents in that vicinity
would have been similarly affected.
Persons who attribute the disease to
climatic causes make great mistake,
and the conclusions in regard to it are
frequently ridiculous. The victims of
this disease are frequently vigorous and
robust men. The reason for this is that
they are 80 healthy they imagine they
can neglect the observance Of the most
common rules of hygiene, and preserve
their health. Hence they overtax the
system in various ways, and when tho
disease manifests itself they neglect to
call physician or apply;;any antidote,
until it is firmly fixed and a serious
case Of illness ensues. A simple cathar-
tic promptly administered very proba-
bly, would have removed the poison
and led to health and the prolongation
Of life. Tho way to escape typhoid as
well as other disease, is to be prudent
and avoid excess Of all kinds. OF
course location Of residence is important
but care and attention in this section Of
country, are still more important in the
preservation of health, and when the
people understand fully that ian ounce
of prevention is better than q pound Of
cure," the bills Of mortality in our city
- we'll as in the country generally, will
be greatly diminished.

Il IL seldom that there has been Hore
able or eloquent pleading than on SAT-
nrday last in the case OF the state
against William Brown, the boy who In
a moment OF anger struck the fatal blow
with base ball bat that sent fellow
colored hoy into eternity. The ints'li-
gence, the yonthfulness, the manly DIG
nifty Of Brown as he sat in the prisoners .
dock, wiping away the trucking tears
from his eyes with a handkerchief, OF
fordea a atrong case upon which Mr..
Bird, eloquent and able at all times,
made one of the master efforts OF his
lie. The little mo'herless waif upon
society even eithout tho eloquent plead
ing OF Mr.. Bird, appealed strongly TO
the hearts OF the jury, but it could not
bs denied t,lat William Brown in a mo-
lnent of hot blood aud anger had slain
a playmate, aud human life is sacred.
Mr.. Gray po5 less eloquent than Mr..
Bird, Welded 10 nobody in sympathy
for the poor motherlsss boy. He did Lot
want William Browns life, he did not
seek the poor boys blood, but said he
with thrilling emphasis, /" there Is
another boy in this case and he is in
his grave" Poor little " Babe" Bat
son was not in that court to plead
through his tears. His life too was
precious, but it had been taken in a
boyish quarrel. Mr.. Gray, notwith-
standing the great sympathy shown for
the weeping boy In the dock, effectual-
ly convinced the jury that human life
must be protected; that If check was
not put to crime, even the jurors them
selves might have their hearts torn and
lacerated with grief at the sight Of their
own boys teing brought to their arms
mangled and lifeless corpse. This ar
gumsnt prevailed with the jury, and
that Mr.. Bird did not succeed in clear.
ing his client was not for the want OF
an able and eloquent plea on his be-
half. Those who had this pleasure Of
listening to this intellectual tilt be-
tween two Of the ablest members Of the
bar, will not soon forget it. But the
verdict Of guilty was right. The sym
pathy of the jury was with William
Brown, but justice and the safety Of
society demanded his punishment. The
loose state Of morals existing amongst
the young and rising generation de-
manded a punishment. That the con-
viction and sentence Of the boy Brown
will have a beneficial effect upon
juvenile outlawry cannot be denied,
and not the least Of its beneficial effects
will be the fact that parents will here
after want to know where their boys
are when thry are cut Of their sight.
