The Michigan Liquor Law,

DETROIT, May 5.-The amended liquor law
of this State went into effect on the LIST, that
being the day when the increase tax under it
was required so be paid by all retail and whole
sale dealers. The common council of this city
being completely in the hands of saloonists,
they have inaugurated most extraordinary
proceedings by asking for an injunction to
prevent the town officers from receiving the
taxes on the ground that the law is unconsti
tutional. The court denied the application.
The whole movement has aroused great in
dignation among the better class of citizens.

An Old Rule for Ventilating Bed
rooms .--

A simple device is within the reach of every
one having an ordinary window in his room,
by which fresh outer air can be admitted in
small quantity with such an upward current
as will prevent its being felt as an injurious
draft by the inmates. 1t is particularly adapted
to sleeping rooms when the weather is too cold
to admit of an open window. Thus, start both
top and bottom sashes of the window half an
inch, which is not quite enough to clear the
rebate or stop-beads at top and bottom. but
which leaves an opening of an inch between
the missing rails, through which a current en-
tiers, but diverted upward by the glass as it
should be, so as not to fall directly to the floor,
as its GOODNESS might otherwise induce it to do.
1t thus becomes well mixed with the air of the
room without being felt as draft,-Plumber

Thirty Thousand Knights.
Preparations for the Grand Triennial Con-
clave in Chicago next August.


Among the occasions which will excite and
interest the citizens of Chicago and draw
crowds OF visitors to it during the coming year,
the most magnificent in point of numbers of
people attending it, and in gorgeousness of dis
play, will be the grand encampment of knights
Templar. The official name of this meeting
is "The Triennial Conclave of the Grand En-
campment of knights Templar of the United
States" This is the supreme legislative body
of all the Sir Knights in the country, and is
composed of the present Grand Commander
the Very Eminent Deputy Grand Commander
the Grand Generalissimos, and Grand Captain
Generals of the several Grand Communicates
in the different States, Territories and Provin-
ces under the Masonic supervision of the en-.
campment, and all Past Right Eminent Grand
Commanders and past grand officers of the
Grand Encampment. This body of men, num-
bering about 500, will meet npon the level in
their official legislative capacity, on Monday
August 16, and continue their session through
the week, parting upon the square on the fol-
lowing Saturday. The present Most Eminent
Grand Master, who will preside over the de-
alterations of the encampment, is DR.. Vincent
l.. Hurlbut, of this city.
These $4,000 Templars will form the most
cosmopolitan body that has ever visited this
city. Every State in the Union will be repre-
sented by from $50 to 200 members. There
will also be representatives from the comman-
deries and priories of Canada, Great Britain
and other European countries, and from the
Sandwich Islands. Mexico and, indeed, from
almost every civilized and half civilized coun-
try in the world where this organization has
commandery.
The parade which occurs on Tuesday of en-
campment week will be gorgeous display.
The committee who have it in charge assert
that it will eclipse any civic display that has
ever been seen in the United States. The
parade at the last grand encampment, held in
Cleveland in 1877, was considered very grand
affair, but only 6,75S Templars, representing
seventy-six Communicates took part in it,
Not less than 10000 finely drilled, represent
ing 200 communicates, will march in the
Chicago demonstration.
The line of march will be five and one
third miles long. The men on foot
will march twenty-four front, two files
deep, with only twenty-five feet be-
tween the ranks to shorten the procession,
which else would be of unmanageable proper
tions. This line will include countermarch
in one place, in order that each man can see
the whole procession. Not less than 100 brass
bands, the most perfect in America, number
ing from twenty to seventy pieces each, will
furnish the music for this great demonstration.
These, in brief, are the components of the es-
cort which will accompany the grand encamp-
ment through the streets OF the asylum"

Is slight.
A LATER dispatch says that the 700
men, boys, women, girls, priests and for
eigners sacrificed at Mandalay for the resto-
ration of the Kings health, were buried
alive, not " burned" under the towers of
the city walls. The following is an expla-
nation Of the horror: When city is built in
Burmah, human sacrifices are offered. A
new monarch usually has a new capital, and
the evil spirits are irritated. There has been
no change of capital, and, the virtue of the
old sacrifices being gone, to appease the evil
spirits the astrologers deel ired it necessary
to offer 700 lives. The sacrifices were made
by the order of King Theebaw. Theebaw's
son and heir, only few months old, and a
brother of the late King, have both died of
smallpox. Astrologers advise Theebaw to
remove the capital to Mount Shobo, the
original seat Of the present dynasty.

South Carolina Republicans.

We learn from Republican sources
that in South Carolina "a strong deter
mination to nominate full State ticket
in the ensuing campaign has manifest
ed itself among leading Republicans Oh
late,' and that it is thought that such
ticket might be successful. whoever
thinks this must be dreaming; but that
does not deprive us of the right OF re-
marking that if such ticket is nomi-
mated sensible people will think there
was a good deal of athletic lying done
in August, 1873, when the Republican
state Convention declared 1t to be IN
expedient to nominate candidates = pc
cause, owing to the condition OF affairs
in the State occasioned by riiie-club
rule and two years of Democratic su-
premacy, it is impossible for the Re
publican voters in many counties, with
out mourning great personal danger, TO
organize for the campaign or to vote az
the election when held" Either rifle

olina then, or it does not prevail now

Some Popular British Amusements.

We don't play so much in America as
they do over the water. We haven't
the variety of amusements common in
England and France at fairs, horse
races and other gatherings. We seem
disposed to get most of ours in mere
whisky without other entertainment.
While 1 was staying in that queer old
fashioned town of Harwich the annual
fishermen's regatta came off. 1t was
the distinctive fisherman's holiday. But
the regatta was but part of the holt
day. That over, they had a ''duck
hunt A creased pole was suspended
from the pier over the water. At its
end was fastened box containing half
a dozen ducks. The business consisted
in the endeavor to walk the pole and
secure the ducks. AS a, very large ma
jority slipped of and fell overheard,
you may understand how much this
simple continuance rejoiced our hearts.
Then came bobbing for lemons. In the
street directly fronting the principal
hotel was erected a temporary platform.
On this was placed large tub filled
with salt water, and in the water sundry
lemons. Certain simple and rude
youths were led to the tub blindfolded
and required to extract the lemons by
tItlT Uccbu 4uc cutlIc
of Harwich and the surrounding
country were pleased witnesses Of
many abortive attempts. The windows
and balcony Of the hotel were filled with
well-dressed lookers-on. Then sundry
cakes or biscuit well smeared with trea-
Gle were suspended by strings, and more
British youths, their hands tied behind
them, were required to catch them, thus
swinging in the wind by their teeth.
This amused us full hour. The last
was smoking and drinking contest
between three superannuated fisher
men. They were hoisted on the plat
form with a table and three chairs.
Around this table they sat, and on it
were placed three long pipes, very
large case of smoking-tobacco and three
immense pewter mugs, filled with a
mixture, scalding hot, of gin and
beer. The game between these three old
piscatorial sinners was to smoke the
most tobacco and drink the most hot
gin and beer in fifteen minutes. Idon't
indorse the morality of the show, but it
was interesting. After this we had a
trial of competitive skill and agility up

Englishmen, chosen more from the bone
and sinew than the refinement and in
