The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-05-02

The arrangements have been COM
pleted and the papers filed in the United
States District Court in New York, for
a test of the validity of the issue of
legal-tender paper by the Government,
in time of peace. In regular business
transaction-the sales of certain bales
of cotton payment was offered in
United States notes, and refused, and
on this transaction the suit in question
is founded. Mr.. Chitterden, who made
strong hard-money speeches in the last
Congress, will, as attorney for the plain
tiff, contest the validity of the tender
of Government paper for cotton, while
Gen. Butler will champion the green
back side. The case will be brought to
trial in the New York court, and will be
at once appealed, whatever the decision
may be, to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

A LONDON paper insists that the re-
cent "blue book" concerning Egypt
proves conclusively that "neither by
fair means nor by foul can the Khedive
pay interest on his debts, and the
sooner that fact is looked fairly in the
face, the better for all concerned" I'm
fortunately for the bondholders, there
is not much doubt of the truth of this
statement of the case, which means that
the Egyptian debt is in excess of the
possible paying ability of the country,
at least under its present administrative
system. That being the case, the ques-
ton before the English and French
Governments is whether they shall
spend some millions in an attempt to
extract from the Egyptian treasury by
force money which it cannot by any
possibility paw.

ALTHOUGH the Chinese people are
usually credited with the possession of
an immense amount of political con-
servatism and respect for existing insti-
buttons, they seem at the same time to be
strangely disposed to participate in re-
bellions. The most revolutionary state
in South America cannot, in going back
over the last half century, produce
more instances of attemptsto overthrow
the Government than can be counted
up from Chinese records during the
same period.

The Postoffice Department has APP
proved design for a new international
2-cent postal card, provided for by the
Universal Postal Union and the recent
act of Congress. On the upper left cor
ner are the words, Universal Postal
Union, United States of America" in En-
glish and French, the Postal Union re-
quiring that snch inscription shall be in
the language of the country from which
the card is sent and in French; and on
the right upper corner is the stamp,
consisting of head of liberty, copied
from the gold double eagle, surrounded
by ribbon border, with a monogram
~. s." at the top and buckle at the
bottom, with the figure 80" in octagon
blocks an either side. In the upper
half of the circle are the words Postal
Card" and in the lower half, 1.-TWO
Cents" The card has neat border
around the edge on the address side.

SAN Francisco will soon possess the
most wonderful dress in the world.
Prof Theodore Greiner, of that city, is
having woven, out of threads of colored
glass, spun by himself, the material for
a lady's dress. The fiber is finer than
the finest of floss silk, and as flexible.
The weaving is done on an old-fashioned
hand loom, the warp being nineteen
feet long and the wool four feet. Only
about ten inches day can be woven,
and the whole piece will not be COM
pleted until some time in May.

THE secret service has come into
possession of counterfeit $40 United
States legal-tender note, which is cal
culated to deceive even persons accus-
toned to handling notes of that de-
nomination. What makes it more re-
markable is the fact that the work on
the note was executed with pen and
ink, all the intricate figures and curves,
all the heads, the seal, the fine engrav-
ing work, and even the fiber in the pa
per, are almost perfectly counterfeited
by pen and ink. The signature of John
Allison, formerly Register of the Treas
ury, is almost exact, while that of John
G. New, formerly Treasurer, is perfect.
The whole back and face is wonder
full piece of pen work. The bill was
detected at the sub-treasury in New
Orleans.

A Terrible Fight With Dogs.

August Munchausen, while passing
Edward Fishers farm and dairy, near
the corner of Thirty-frst and Wallace
streets, was set upon by four vicious
dogs, one large bulldog, which are
allowed to run at liberty. The bulldog
sprung for his throat, and fastened his
fangs into the fieshy part of the right
arm, which the man threw up to protect
himself. He seized the animal, and,
choking it off as best he could, held it
at arms length away from him; but,
despite these efforts, his arms and
shoulders were lacerated in a most hor-
rible manner, the bones of the forearm
being laid bare, and the fingers chewed
almost into pulp. While he was en-
gagged in battling with this ferocious
antagonist, the three other dogs, all of
good size and strength, kept biting his
legs, tearing the flesh into shreds. Two
men who were in the neighborhood
heard Munchausen's cries for help and
ran to his assistance, but it was not I'M
til they shot the bulldog dead that he
was compelled to release the hold.
Munchausen was taken to his home,
where he received both medical and
surgical attendance. His injuries are
so serious that his recovery is consid-
cred improbable.-Chi Tribune.

MICHIGAN, says the Chicago Journal,
has just set other States an excellent
example by enacting a law which con-
cedes the right of parents to send
scholars to schools outside of the
districts wherein they reside, provided
they pay taxes in such districts. The
equities OF all concerned are preserved
by limiting the length of time which
these scholars of non-residents may at
tend to the ratio of the taxes paid by
such non-residents divided by the whole
cost of supporting the school.

passers upon the Territory that they will
be promptly expelled, and that the army
will be used for the purpose, if necessary.
Similar notice was given, it may be re-
membered, when mining parties first
entered the Black Hills region, and, in
fact, a large number of miners who had
spent some time in the hills were actu-
ally driven out by the troops. But they
did not stay out long; and it is not un-
likely that the recollection OF this sue
cessful appropriation of the Sioux reser-
walton will encourage squatters to per-
severe in the invasion of the splendid
country south of Kansas, in spite OF
the Presidents threat.

A VERY stringent Tramp law has been
passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature,
which provides that when a man goes
about begging, and has no residence or
occupation in the county in which he
may be arrested, he can be taken before
a magistrate and committed for trial as
for misdemeanor, and, on conviction,
may be sentenced to Jail, or to the work
house, for term not exceeding twelve
months. Ii the tramp enters house
without the permission of the owner or
occupant, OF displays dangerous
weapon in a threatening manner, he
may be convicted of felony, and sent
to the penitentiary for term not ex-
ceeding three years.

"Well, didn't write the receipt-book,

And Ned, wisely refraining from vent

The family ate them hot for supper
that night, despite DIR. Dio Lewis and

them very fine cakes indeed. What
they lacked in ginger (you see, Katy, in
her perplexity over the hot water, forgot
to double the ginger papa made up in

yulgarity in Fiction and on the Stage.

Writing of this topic in Scribmer for
May, Dr. Holland says:
1.-THE average playwright has O fixed
opinion that certain definite appeals
must be made to the groundlings, in
order to produce successful play.
There must be coarseness or profanity,
or the half-disguised obscenity that can
be put forth in a double entente, or
else the great multitude will not be sat
isfied. As consequence Of this, many
ladies do not dare to go to the theater,
or to take their children there. There is
no question that these Objectionable
elements in plays have kept many more
people ont of the theater than they ever
attracted thiuher. People-even vulgar
people-are not pleased with vulgarity,
and it is quite worth while to call at
tention to the things that the people
are pleased with, both in the fictiOns of
the book and of the stage.
"We have had lyrical comedy run
ming in all the theaters of the country
during the last season-"Her Maiesty's
Ship Pinafore which will illustrate a
part of what we mean. Since we began
to observe theaters at all, nothing has
had such run of popularity as this.
Young and old, rich and poor, have
been amused by it, and there is not a
word in it. from beginning to end, that
can wound any sensibility. 1t is a piece
of delicious absurdity all through, and
a man can enjoy two hours Of jOllity in
witnessing it, which will not leave a
stain upon him anywhere. II is simply
delightful pure fun-and the most
popular thing that has appeared on the
stage for the last ten years. We call atten-
ton to it specially to show that fun,
when it is pure, is more popular thou
sand times than when it is not. Moth
ing can be more evident to any man of
common sense than that any admixture
of unworthy elements in this play would
damage its popularity. What is true OF
this play is true of any and every play.
There is no apology whatever for max
ing the stage impure. Even vulgar
people do not seek the stage for i'm
purity. They seek it for pleasure, and
they find the purest plays the most sat
isfactory, provided only that the pleas
ure-giving element is in them. A play
wright who is obliged to resort to coarse
means to win the applause of coarse
men, convicts himself of lack of ca
pacity for writing good play."

Discomfort i'm Norway.

A stormy meeting was held in
Christiana, Norway, one day last
month, at which the writer, M.
Bjornstene Bjornson, presided, its
object being to protest against the
union of Norway with Sweden. One
measure proposed was the removal
from the Norwegian flag of the emblem
which signifies the union with Sweden,
so that it might be flag "pure and un-
sulied." Unfortunately, the meeting
was about equally divided upon the pro-
posed measure, and, when M. Bjornson
made a number of bitter and virulent
attacks on the King of Sweden, some of
his audience applauded and cheered,
and the others Kissed and groaned,
while a mob outside created most dis
graceful disturbance.

ENGLISH reports from South Africa
indicate that Zulu Generals have hard
time of it, 1t is said that Cetywayo put
Matshana to death for disobedience of
orders in attacking the camp at Isan-
dula, instead of the General and his
forces, whom he was ordered to stop.
He is also said to have put to death the
chief Indunas, who attacked Rorke's
drift. saying it was bad enough to take
the army so lar, but it was still worse
after the heavy losses at Isandula. It is
also said that the Indunas who led the
attack on Col. Parsons column have
suffered the penalty of death for de-
scribing too wildly, in his presence
the awful effects of the rockets, which
they said rushed about and burned
people up. What the old King will dc
with the commanders who suffered de-
feat at Ginglelora can scarcely be i'm
agined. If he put victorious chief to
death what will he do with defeated
one?
