PEDDLERs.-Some of our merch.
ants are grumbling about peddlers
going through the county, and
complain that these men do not
pay a license for such privilege, as
the law contemplates they SHALL
We do not know how this is. But
there is certain amount of protect
ion due the business men of this
county, and there is no infringement
on their rights that ought to be
guarded more rigidly than. the strict
enforcement Of the law covering the
peddling system. The men who in
vest their money in goods and en-,
gage in merchandising, either in
towns or country places, contribute
to the municipal and county expen,
ses, and are entitled to protection
from set Of tramps who run over
the county peddling their wares,
cutting into the trade that legiti-
mately belongs to the business men
Of a community, and paying no rev,
enue to the state, county or towns
Let our officers whose business it is
to see that the peddling law is en-,
forced, watch every peddler and see
that he has license, and if not, ar.
rest him on the spot.

Not far of, stalled as Knight of the Gar
ter, was the courtier Premier, with lugu-
brious look that belied his errand. 1t
was the critical moment Of the imposing
ceremony. The trumpets had forgotten
to sound. The organ was stilled. The
bride and bridegroom stood hand in hand
and face to face at the steps of the altar.
and through the hushed chapel sounded
the still voice of the Archbishop pro-
nouncing familiar words, echoed in
manly tone by the bridegroom. In the
gloomy chamber above, the five figures
lay prone and motiOnless on the floor,
each at an aperture covering particular
member of the company at the altar
steps.
Through the oppressive silence, the
tortured ear and the overwrought brain
might well fancy they heard the wall
that last night circled round the Town
of Windsor and shook the folds OF the
royal standard. "The Queen, the King
of the Belsians, the Prince OF Wales,
the bridegroom, and Lord Beaconstield.
Hal Hal Hal"
Would the silence never be broken!
1t seemed an age since the bridegroom
had first held out his hand and taken
within it the ungloved fingers of the
bride. The air in the chamber seemed
to grow thicker. The silky dust that
lay thick around stirred strangely as II
touched by ghostly breath.
Something else was moving.
1t was Number One, who gathering
himself up rested on his knees, and with
a preliminary sound like the smacking
of lips observed:
"Well, only wish Mrs. Segg was here.
When told her that l was going to
climb over roofs and spend a night on
bare boards Just to see the Duke Of Con-
naught married, she said in, her simple
straightforward way, 'Segg, you're daft
If she'd only been here and seen the
lovely dresses and the brides train
stretched out like a peacock's tail, and
if she'd heard her say, i WILL in a
timid, though audible voice, she wouldn't
have minded the ladders nor yet the
ham, which to my mind was trifie un-
boiled, though the way old Number
Three tucked into it was caution"
And Number One, taking his opers
glass out of the aperture, put it back in
the case, swapping the latter with a spite
full "clickp as he thought of how ht
would vex the soul of Mrs. Segg with
the description of glories on which hel
eye had not looked.

A SherIff,s Trouble With Alice
Oates,
jackson (Mich.) Patriot.l


jackson (Mich.) Patriotl
A little episode uanspired at the
Opera House Tuesday evening on the
occasion of the appearance of the Alice
Oates Troupe not down in the bills.
The troupe, it seems, had engaged the
Ypsilanti Opera House for last Monday
evening, but, instead of appearing there
according to contract, remained and gave
an extra entertainment in Toledo. The
Opera House in question had been held
for them, Notwithstanding occasions had
presented for renting it, and Mr.. Bo-
gardus, the proprietor, very nationally
concluded that he was entitled to pay
for it for the evening of Monday. He
therefore came to this city, got out the
necessary papers, and placed them in the
hands of Sheriff Terry for service.
The latter watched his opportunity,
and, after the audience had assembled,
garnisheed the contents of the cash-box,
some 5000. He then assembled the next
floor and informed the manager whom
he interviewed in a side room, that he
wished to see Mrs. Oates, as he had some
papers for her. He explained at the
rame time that he did not desire to inter-
supt the entertainment, and that she
could appear for an instant, accept serv-
ice, and then 90 on with her perform
ance. The Sheriff was assured this would
be done, but, after waiting nearly an
hour without seeing anything Of the lady,
ne made inquiry as to the cause Of the
delay, and was told she declined to per-
NIT any papers to be served. The Sheriff
thereupon stepped upon the stage and
saw the lady at the same time disappear
in dressing-room. He started in
that direction, but was laid
hold Of by the stage man.

THE END.
The Great Glaciers of Alaska.
TSAn Francisco Bulletin.l

The Stickine is perhaps better known
than any other river in Alaska, because
of its being the way back to the Cassiar
gold mines. 1t is about $50 or 400 miles
long, and navigable for small steamers to
Glenora, 15O miles, flowing first in gen.
eral westerly direction through grassy,
undulating plains, darkened here and
there with patches Of evergreen, then
curving southward, aud receiving numer-
Gus tributaries from the north, it enters
the coast range and sweeps across it to the
sea through Yosemite valley more than
100 miles long, and one to three miles
wide at the bottom and from 5000 to
5000 feet deep, marvelously beautiful
and inspiring from end to end. TO the
appreciative tourist sailing up the
river through the midst of it all, the
canon for distance Of about
ITO miles is gallery Of sublime
pictures, an unbroken series of majestic
mountains, glaciers, falls, cascades, for
ests, groves, fowery garden spots, CLASSY
meadows in endless variety of form and
composition-furniture enough for a
dozen Yosemites-while back of the walls
and thousands of feet above them, in
Vulnerable peaks and spires and domes of
ice and snow tower grandly into the sky.
About fifteen miles above the mouth
of the river you come to the first of the
great glaciers, pouring down through the
forest in shattered ice-cascade nearly
to the level of the river. Here the canon
is about two miles wide, planted with
cottonwoods along the banks Of the river,
and spruce and fir and patches Of wild
rose and raspberry extend back to the
grand Yosemite walls. Twelve miles
back to this point noble view is opened
along the Skoot River canon-a group Of
glacier-!aden Alps from 10000 to H.
600 feet high, the source Of the largest
tributary of the Stickine.
Thirty-fve miles above the mouth of
the river the most striking object of all
comes in sight. This is the lower ex-
panded part Of the great glacier, meas
uring about six miles around the snout.
pushed boldly forward into the middle
Of the valley among the trees, while its
sources are mostly hidden. 1t takes its
rise in the heart of the range, some thirty
or forty miles away. Compared with
this the Swiss mer de glace is a small
thing. 1t is called the "Ice Mountain" )"
and seems to have been regarded as a
motionless mass, created on the spot, like
the rocks and trees about, without ven
turing to guess as to how or when. The
front of the snout is about three hundred
feet high, but rises rapidly back for a
few miles to height of about one thou.
sand feet. Seen through gaps in the
trees growing on one Of its terminal
moraines, as one sails slowly along
against the current, the marvellous beauty
Of the chasms and clustered pinnacle'
shows to fine advantage in the sunshine
but tame indeed must be the observer
who is satisfied with so cheap view.

"Tear of the Clouds" is the romantic
name Of the lakelet, one thousand feet
