Your Bath correspondent has evidently be On

The idea was.started by Mr.. W. S. Hagar of
this place, who was at one time connected with
similar institution in Philadelphia, and who
is one of the charter members of the present
association, and carried forward by him and
others. Mr.. Millay was not and never has

The Presidents Message Writers.

A good deal of scandal attaches 10
the composition of messages by the
President Of the United States. Par
ties are alleged TO have a considerable
hand in writing them who never had
anything to do with the productions.
Some OF the earliest Presidents did not
conceal the fact that members of the
Cabinet sometimes furnished large DOR
tions OF their official communication
to Congress. Gen. Jackson enioyed
the reputation of having his important
messages written for him. Abraham
Lincoln was said to occasionally avail
himself of the finishing touches of
Secretary Seward, but il was always
easy to tell Mr.. Lincoln's original style
like the uncovered granite Of noun
tain-from that of anybody else. II is
said Of President Graut, and it shows
how slight things sometimes mold i'm
portant issues, that he intended to
sign the imitation bill, the veto of which
ingratiated him into the favor of hard
money menSat the time. As the story
goes, 1t was a rainy Sunday when he
took up the bill to examine il, with his
mind almost decided to sign il. But
he was led into a more thorough scru-
tiny OF its provisions than he proposed
at the outset and the enormities of the
measure stood out to view before him.
He then sat down and wrote the veto
message, which is one of the most
praisworthy acts OF his presidential
career.

JIM MES CHEEK. years AGO
one of Mr.. Sharons predecessors
from Nevada, the late Senator Nye.
spent the greater part Of q season at
home working for reelection. On his
reelection he started for Washington,
and the first thing he did when he got
TO the capitol was to go to the secre-
tary's Office and pocket the pay for the
three months that he had been absent.
Stufting the crisp pile of new green
backs into his capacious wallet, he
walked into his senate chamber. A few
months thereafter some partisan meas
ure came up which required a two
thirds vote, and as a number of Repub.
licans were absent, il could not be got
ten through. At t5is Mr.. Nye rose up
in his seat and, with the sublimity OF
audacity peculiar to him, expressed his
deep regret and modification that SEN
ators should be so regardless of their
duty to their country and to their con-
stituents as TO be absent themselves
from their seats. Senator Sumner. who
sat by Senator Nye. looked nj him in
undisguised astonishment and dismay.
as in fact did all most every other SEN
ator IN the chamber. When Mr.. Nye
concluded he sat down. with his face
beaming all over with satisfaction, Sen
ator Fsssenden, who happened Just
then to be in an unusually irascible
frame OF mind, got up and gave Mr..
Nye such terrible securing for his as
surances and hypocracy that the Neva-
da senator could not open his lips

DETROIT, May 13, 1879.
BoYs:-It is good while ago, but /
have a sort Of remembrance, when /
was a boy, that the May air and the
sunshine, and the fresh grass and buds
made the school and the shop grow
wearisome and warm, and / used 10
long for Saturday TO come, and with il
the game OF ball that we always used
to have. Boys are nearly the same in
all places and at all times and / hope
they will never grow any differently.
so suppose you, too, get little tired
OF shop and school, and long for a
game OF ball. SO thinking, / have sent
You to-day by express a lot Of balls
and clubs. Take good care OF them,
get all the fun out OF them you can,
first doing the work you have 10 do.
and mastering the lessons you have to
learn. The game ball, and the game
OF life are a good deal alike. III You
make miss at a ball and get caught
out-out you go. So in life, il you
miss IN duty, work, or right-out you
go. Take as good care to keep your
innings in the game Of life as you do in
the game OF ball, and you won't get

Starting with the convictions for
1910, the year of the first census after
the organization OF the prison, 1t ap-
pears that the convictions for 1877, are
in excess Of 1910 by 373. This is an in
crease OF nearly % per cent. per annum
upon the original number, "a. During
the same period the population OF the
State has grown from 2l2, 267 in 1910
10 ], ,5l3, l75 in 1877, and this growth is
at the rate of 1850 per cent. per an
mum upon the population OF 1910. 1t
would thus appear that including the
commitments for State Prison offenses
the State Prison, Reform School and
Detroit House of Correction, the rate
per cent OF increase OF convictions for
felony in Michigan was 30 per cent.
greater than the rate per cent. OF the
increase in population.
