Michigan Letter.


 Thinking it might be interesting to the readers of your valuable paper to learn some. thing from western Michigan, I take the lib- erty to write you short sketch of the coun. try, and the advantages we possess in this, but few years ago, unbroken wilderness 1 live on the banks of White River, small stream flowing through a sparcely settled country, emptying into White Lake, some five miles from the shores of Lake Michigan. It is called White River, on account of the clear transparency of it's water, and is the dividing line between the pine and farming country. About one hundred million feet of pine saw logs are foated down this river annually. These are manufactured into lumber at White Lake by steam power saw mills with a ca. pacity of cutting from fifty to one hundred thousand feet per day. This lumber is ship ped to Chicago, Milwaukee, and other points on the western shore of Lake Michigan, and the great grain growing prairie country of the west. Heald Murphy and Crepin, formerly of Maine, are the largest in the lumbering in. terest, putting into White River from twelve to twenty million feet per year. If any read CTS of your paper should wish employment, they can find it in the pine woods of Michi- gan, at twenty-six to .hirty dollars month The numbering trade has been the cause of developing to great extent, the farming in terests of this country, by establishing home market for all products of the soil, and where but few years ago one could only hear the sound of the pioneers axe in felling the trees of the forests, or in fitting his fallow for log ging, (for we burn no coal in this country,) now we hear the rattle of the reaper and mower, gathering up the golden grain and rich harvests of the husbandman, for We reap what we SOW, for the soil is our own," and sho1ld any of the friends from Litchfeld County (where passed the days of my child hood) wander away from the home of their ancestors and turn their steps toward the set ting sun till they reach our good land of Michigan, we will extend to them the right hand of offellowship, open our homes and our hearts to receive them, and make them merry and glad while they tarry with us.
 Should this prove worthy of your notice, l will write you again, and give you an item on logging in the pine woods.
 Respectfully yours,

The Ladies' Race.

 fair damsels mete, And all around, an eager throng, to watch the
 gallant race; The sIulu," decked from prov to stern, close
 by the boats held place. ssAwayl" the oars moved swift and true,
 across the lake they sped, And soon & slender maid in brown her sailor
 sisters led. With skillful stroke and steady pull, she gain
 ed upon the rest, Until two boat-lengths full ahead, up to the
 goal she pressed. And next to her, dark-eyed lass, in cap of
 silken blue, Whose slender boat across the waves with
 even motion flew. Then young matron, flushed and fair, then
 she who wore the red, Next, she whose chosen color, plain was love-
 ly rose instead. What shouts and cheers from all arosel what plaudits filed the air Yet were they strangers nearly all to the victor
 young and fair, A blithe Canadian lassie, she who but the
 night before Had, from St. Lawrence's rugged banks,
 sought Wononscopomoc' shore. Admiring were the glances cast upon the fair
 haired girl, Who, breathless, leaned upon her oar, tossed
 back wandering curl, Waved her small kerchief high in air, smiled
 at the cheering crowd, And slow rowed back across the lake, amid the
 olapping loud. That night brilliant throng was met, the
 conquerors to greet, To see the well-earned prizes laid low at the
 victors feet. Graceful and eloquent the speech with which
 the gift was made, And chiva1rous the tribute which the reverend
 speaker paid. s'This prize" he said, s'so kindly given by the
 generous hand of one, The wife of old Connecticut's revered and
 honored son, Is won by Canadian lady, stranger here to-
 night, Who well deserves this glittering prize of sil-
 yer gleaming bright. She will take back the memory of the famous
 ladies' race, In which, by right of strength and skill, she
 held the victor's place, And, too, this pretty souvenir, present from
 the hand Of g princess of Connecticut, to Queen Vic
 toria's land" He paused, and in lady's stead, 8 fair-haired
 boy stood there, Who, lowing low, received the gift, while rose
 upon the air Laughter and shouting loud and long; this
 was the blue-eyed maid Who all unknown by everyone, had yielded
 well her bladel Then, with bow more deep and low, he laid
 the glistening prize In the lap of her who wore the blue, while louder still arise The words of praise, the gay applause, the wonder and the jokes At the strange success and credence gained by this transparent hoax. 3, ye who this true tale have read, think not the matter strange That poor mankind should in leap year long for 8 wider range /; What marvel, fettered, cramped and bound, | one boldly should unfurI His banner to Wononsco's breeze, and wish | himself girlP

 G. W. Hall has recently laid in new lot of goods in his clothing and dry goods de partment which he is selling at reasonable prices. He is doing an extensive business in both departments, and his annual sales are very large. He not only has large patron age in this vicinity but large trade from the surrounding towns. We often hear it remarked, '.Why is there always such 8 rush at Halls store, and why does he do such an immense business ?" We answer, the req sons are these: He always has a grand as- on hand, and his motto is to please he has six clerks which are constantly em- ployed, who are ever gentIemanly and obig- ing toward their customers, and the proprie l tor is a gentleman who thoroughly under stands his business. Another reason of- which others should avail themselves, is he advertises in the Connecticut Western News | 3 paper having the largest circulation in Connecticut of any published, | and since his advertisement appeared, he ad- nits his trade has largely increased.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Nov 20.-The musicians
of San Antonio. Texas. have written to
the war department protesting against the
First Infantry band being permitted to
play at concerts. balls. etc..-thereby de
privi0g local musicians from making
living at their profession. Tbs general of
the army says regimental bands ars not
maintained or paid by the U. S. Regi-
mental commanders select musicians from
companies and thus create band whose
expenses have to be earned or paid out of
the pockets of the officers. In despotic
Russia or Germany, so!diers are encour
aged to work for wages as tailors, shoe
makers, and even during harvest. TO sup
plement their small pay, and | do not see
why in free America a soldier may not, by
N usic, work in his leisure time and lay by
a little money to buy necassaries, or to
saws up aud buy farn after his enlist
ment. I surely will not deprive our
soldiers OF so simple and fair a privilege.

Mrs. w4nsiov's Soothing Syrup.

Rev. SyIvanus Cobb Ethus writes in
the Boston Christian Freeman: We
would by no means recommend any
kind of medicine which we did not
know to be good-particularly for
infants. But cf Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup we can speak from know
ledge; in our own family Il has proved
d blessing indeed. by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet sleep,
aud the parents unbroken rest at night
Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which
works to perfection, and which is
harmless; for the sleep whichit affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the
little cherub awakes as "bright as a
button" And during the process of
teething, its value Is incalcuiable We
have frequently heard mothers say
that they would not b without it from
the birth of the child till it had finish
ed with the teething siege on any con
sideration whatever. Sold by all
25 cents bottle.
