The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-07-11

THE land grants of all the Texas rail-
roads are source of expense rather
than income. The receipts of the land
department of the International and
Great Northern road last year were
$4,000, and the expenses s10,5OO. The
Texas Central did even worse. The
Texas Pacific Company has earned about
4,5OO,OOO acres of land from the State
of Texas, and has decided away 100000
acres of this grant to the French cred
itors of Fremont's Memphis and Ell Paso
scheme. It's vast landed domain has
not, however, been a source of income
to il thus far; on the contrary, the land
department of the company has run be-
hind 0O0-the expenses OF survey
ing and selling having exceeded by that

Now, AFTER long years have passed,
and malicious gossip has died out, il
comes to light that all the domestic
difficulties between Mr.. and Mrs,
Charles d. ckens arose because the wife
did not appreciate her husbands writ
ings, and criticised them to his face,
and Dickens did not understand how
to bear this treatment in his own fam
lily. "Only this, and nothing more

more cruel suspicious, have been circu-

Trials OF a Telegraph Operator.

New telegraph operators have to I'M
dergo reception which borders on the
treatment known to college Freshmen
as hazing. The Operator thus de-
scribes it: The new man walks into
an office full of strange faces, not a
friendly hand to shake, with nothing to
recommend him but his ability as an
operator and his implicit confidence in
that ability fer his only encouragement
He approaches the managers desk, and
after five or ten minutes, the manager
condescends to glance upward, and, in
tone full of thunder, bluntly inquiries,
Well, sir, what is it?" The "fresh-
man" states his business, and the man
ager proposes to give him trial. Ac-
cordingly he is assigned to an instru-
ment and told that he is to receive a
special" His feelings at this juncture
are about the same as those supposed
to be experienced by a man who is
about to be hanged. Nervously grasp
ing the pen, he begins to copy. The
perspiration trickles down his hand,
which makes that member adhere to the
blank, his pen sticks fast, the ink is the

nothing left for him but TO break.
Casting guilty glance about him to
see if anyone is looking, he reaches for
the key and explains to the sender that
he is new man" please take it steady"
but this only makes matters worse.
The sender begins to whoop EN- up"

spinal column. the freshman's" pen in

tea box. This torture usually occupies
about half an hour, when the welcome

his ear. He breathes q sigh of relief
and looks about him. Behind him
stand half dozen operators, with grin
ming countenances. In moment light
begins to dawn upon the freshman y
he is the victim of joke. A glance in
another direction discloses the fact that
the most rapid sender in the Office had
been transmitting to him from the col
umns of a daily paper for the amuse-
ment of the boys" If he accepts the
situation as joke he is initiated, but,
if he becomes angered, he is still a

IT is rumored in diplomatic circles,
says Washington correspondent, that,
before the reassembling of Congress, a
new treaty will have been framed be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. The latter power will concede
the right of citizens of the United
States to fish on the shores of her At
lantic colonies, and she will receive in
return the right to navigate the Hudson
river and to export canned Holsters into
the United States free of duty.

The transfer of the control of Brig
ham Young's property from the loca
Probate Court of the Mormons to the
District Court threatens to cause quite
an airing of Mormon scandals. Mrs.
Emeline A. Young Mcintosh, one of
Brigham's heirs, accuses the trustees in
charge of his $2,500,000 with wasting
and appropriating half of it and using
gross favoritism in distributing the rest
among the heirs. There is likely to be
music in that Zion before the matter is
settled, for John Taylor, the present
boss Mormon, and his ring are involved.
Brigham, Jr., tried to bulldoze Mrs.
Emeline into dropping the case by
threats of damaging exposures, but she
promised to do the same by him if he
did, and the exposures are left to the
slower movements of the courts.

Married at Ninety Eight Years.

George Lessard called npon Mr.. Des-
movers, few days ago, to claim his
pension due him for his services in the
war of 1912. He is 80 years of age, and
hale and hearty. Four times has he
been married; with his first wife he
lived thirty-three years, when she died /;
he married his second wife, who died
within a year; his third marriage was
more fortunate. and, after thirty-one
years of happiness, she also departed
this life. Last year, for the fourth
time. the old veteran entered the mat
rimonial state, and he appears perfectly
contented with life Montreal Witness

WEATHER SIdNs.-When the swal-
lows fly low, wet weather may be ex-
pected, because the insects which the
swallows pursue in their fight are fly
ing low to escape the moisture of the
upper regions of the atmosphere.
Stars twinkle on account of their light
reaching us through variously- heated
and moving currents of air. Hence,
much twinkling of the stars foretells
bad weather, because it denotes that
there are various aerial currents of dif-
ferent temperatures and densities, pro-
ducing atmospheric disturbance.

AT recent dinner of the Massachu-
sets Medical Society, in Boston, Presi-
dent Eliot, of Harvard College, in an
amusing speech, called the attention of
the doctors to peculiar disease existing
among the students of Harvard. Twen-
ty-one per cent. of the Senior class
were so affected with diseases in the
throat and lungs that it was impossible
for them to go to prayers-so the doc
tors of the Massachusetts, Medical So
ciety had certified. Among the curious
facts in connection with this disease
was that it had increased from 10 per
cent. in the Freshman class to 81 per
cent. in the Senior class, which showed
how unhealthy the college course must
be in this respect. 1t was a disease
which existed only few moments in
each day. 1t did not prevent the
students from going to breakfast even
when the prayerbell was ringing, nor
from going to the theater almost every
night in the week Some of them were
the most athletic men in college, and
sang in the glee club while thus affect
ed. These diseases were all certified to
by members of the Massachusetts Med
ical Society; the college took no other
certificates. Il don't know" said the
President, seriously, "apy greater harm
physician can do a young man between
Is and 81 than to give him false ex-
cuse for avoiding duty"

A MEMPHIS physician advocates the
theory that free persplration will cure
nearly every disease by expelling it
through the pores. He advertises re-
sort for invallds where the sun pours
down with unrestricted fierceness,"
cooling breeze is unknown. and the
thermometer indicates over 80 day after
day. He admits that life there would
be uncomfortable but for the conscious
ness that the suffering is incidental to
cure.

An aged man in coarse suit, with q

smilingly stepped forward. "Can l take

in front of table told the man to be

Will it be well for the South to
reap another harvest of the kind ?
Let sectionalism attain a growth IN
any land that lifts it above the pa
triotism that embraces the whole
country, and war is sooner or later
the inevitable result. But short Of
t5is, granting that danger of an
armed collision between the North
and South may be dim and remote,
does it pay to pursue course that
repelS capital and shuts out immi-
grafton? We have published to the
world full and luminous accounts Of
our agricultural, mineral and manu-
featuring resources. We have
displayed at centennial expositions
the marvellous products of our
mines, coal, iron and marble, and
the wonderful growth of our forests.
The capital and intelligence of the
world see these things, admit their
value, and then go and invest
somewhere else. KNOX.

Ayers Ague Cure,

This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chilis
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
n remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. It's great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years III the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that = ithas gained the reputation of being mfal-
lible 1t cam therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chilis and Fever of
the South 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its infu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do notreturn until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, GOut, Headache, Blindness,
ToOthache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, SpIenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all of which become mtermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks As
a preventive, it is of immense service IN those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease If taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpldIty,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

By enterprise, accurateness, anc
close attention to the wants of oul

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
a 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 a 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 in
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 WEEKLQ

times. In the future we will send
