Another piece was found about
five miles north of here by a boy.
1t was cut from a single, was
boat shaped, 11inches long inches
wide, and was evidently made in a
great hurry. On it was written
the followingg
The Alpena is going to pieces.
We shall all be lost.

There was a word after lost
which could not be deciphered, but
it looked like Hgold," The writing
is said to be Captain Napiers by
A. j. Kidd, Customs Collector at
Bento harbor, and by others who
are familiar with his handwriting.

window shade manufacturer of De.

peDa not before mentioned.
A dispatch from Holland says
the first body from the wrecked
Alpena was fully identified to-day
as Mrs. Maggie Mcconnell of OcOn-
to, Wis. the former stewardess of
the vessel. Her nephew, John
Lambert of OcontO, arrived, and
before the body was eXhumed he
described it so precisely that there
could be no mistake, lie mention
ed the Slit in her ear, caused 10y

Goodrich line has gone home, and
no further search for bodies will be
kept up. The wind and current

hey were carried out TO sea. Only
light bodies of the sixty to eighty
drowned have been recovered.

SOME weeks ago the newspapers gave
an account of little affair in metho-
dist church in Hoboken, n. Y. A young
unmarried minister, quite favorite with
old and young, was charged with being
more familiar with one of the married
ladies than morality would counsel. The
minister denounced the young lady from
whom the report originated from the
pulpit and stated that she chad set her
cap for him" and having failed started
the story. The family of the young lady
left the church and the minister after
ward apologized. But the husband of
the lady charged with the indiscretion
had his suspicious aroused, and one day
telling his wife that he purposed going
to New York, concealed himself In the
house where he could overhear the con-
versation between his wife and the min
lister. He soon became convinced of the
infidelity of his wife and ordered the
clergyman to leave. He did SO, and was
followed by the woman, the injured hus-
band following both. The minister drew
a revolver, and ordered the man to stand
back The clergyman is now under
arrest.

radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous
complaints, after having tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt
it his duty to make it known to his suffering
fellows. Actuated by this motive and desire

THE supreme court of Maine when it
was necessary to find in favor of the re-
publicans, concluded that it was not
competent for the governor and council
to question the presence of majority of
aldermen in making up the returns,
though sufficient number of signatures
to make quorum we're not appended to
warrant the belief that a quorum was
present. when more than half q
quorum vote, say the court, 'the pre-
sumption is that quorum is present"
But the rule was no good in case of the
democratic house of representatives. A
quorum must be quorum in their case.
The decisions call to mind the glorious
way in which the Grand High Commits
sion got around the governors certificate
in the case of Cronin, though the COVER
nor's certificate was deemed all powerful
in Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
lima.

A MEETING of Irish sympathizers was
held in the assembly chamber at Madi-
son On Saturday last. The very best
citizens of Madison were present and
crowds from adjoing towns. Judge Har-
low S. Orion presided and made speech
on taking the chair. The principal
speech of the evening, was by Wiscon-
sins famous young orator, Col. Villas.
The Colonel in his speech very fully an
swered one query always propounded by
those who are not in sympathy with the
Irish people; "Why do they not emil
CRATE" Mr.. Villas answered this by
asking if they had not right to love
their native land, and struggle to make
living there possible. That many had
not means of emigrating. An address
and resolutions by DIR. Fox, were adopt
ed and committees appointed to solicit
subscriptions. Among the speakers were
Gen. Bryant, [. G. Sloan and Col. Reyes
One noticeable feature in the speeches
was the encouragement given to the land
agitators; the speakers insisting that
want should not only be relieved, but
that the Irish people should receive as
distance in THAR o4fo,tu RI ottai, ,>r-~~N~
sion of the land.

CONGRESS is about to propose an
amendment to the constitution, relating
to the election of president and vice
president of the United States, and the
manner of counting the electoral votes.
To satisfy curiosity it is as well to give a
resume of the proposed amendment.
But constitution and law so far as they
impose restraint on either party are
worthless. The constitution was fatally
stabbed in 1876, and it is now worth
less document, something to be disre-
garded by politicians and courts. The
whole thing should be abolished as it
offers no obstacle to rascality.
The resolution fixes the electoral vote
and Traction thereof" as follows: Each
candidate shall be entitled to the number
of votes ascertained by multiplying his
popular vote by the number of the states
electoral votes, dividing the product by
the whole number of votes cast for pres
ident in the state. The count is to be
made by congress, all votes being count
ed unless rejected by both houses. In
case OF contest, the votes shall be
counted in accordance with the decision
of the supreme court of the state, unless
reversed by both houses. Of course the
decision will be in accordance with the
political complexion of the court

THE prospects of a war between Ger
many and Russia are daily growing more
imminent. No cause is assigned why
the two powers should be hostile. but it
is evident from the preparations making,
that if nothing serious is intended, each
nation distrusts the other and is putting
itself in the most favorable condition for
war. Russia is massing its available
troops in Poland, through which the
Prussian armies must march if invasion
is contemplated. The probability of
war is openly discussed in Germany.
Bismarck naturally suspects that in the
event of Germany's being engaged in a
war of any consequence, the desire Of
France for revenge would prove stronger
than any reasons prudence might sug-
gest. Austria has consequently been
drawn into treaty with Germany, and
thus an ally is secured in case of any
active hostility from France. Germany,
or Prussia rather, crippled Austria in the
war in which the latter country was ex-
expelled from the German confederation.
France was BUNDLED later and Germany
strengthened, and now the only power
of any consequence on the continent
with which Germany has not measured
strength seems likely to receive attention

THE supreme court of Maine gave a
decision on the questions submitted by
the republican members of the Maine
legislature. Prominent republicans in
Washington, were positive that the SUI
preme court would pay no attention to
the questions, as to do SO would be to
recognize the persons as the legal legis-
ture of the state, something which would
be extra judicial, and done without any
evidence or official warrant But they
miscalculated the craftsmanship of the
court, which gave a favorable decision
on every question submitted. On receipt
of the decision, the republicans imme-
diately elected a governor who was re-
cognized by Gen. Chamberlain, and the
republicans took possession of the state
house. A guard was stationed about the
state house, and police armed with revol-
vers, beset every avenue and refused
every democrat admission, even those
whose election was unquestioned. The

They purpose appealing to congress and
to the supreme court of the United
States. 1t will indeed be farclcal pro-
ceeding to appeal to the supreme court
of the United States. The democrats
can ca silly foretell the verdict.
The custom of opening Legislative DO
dies with prayer may be all right, but
the selling of prayer by the resident
clergy of Madison, the state being the
purchaser, is supremely ridiculous. 1t
does not seem to benefit the legislature
much, and does not prevent the enact
ment of many mischievous and absurd
laws. Prayer is all right, but it should
not be a merchantable commodity.
Madison is city of prey during the
| session of the legislature, The members
beside being furnished with stationery,
| pocket knives, and various other para
phernalia, which increases the cost of a
! legislative session are also furnished
with prayer at the expense of the state.
Would it not be cheaper to print one or
two prayers, and furnish them to the
members and allow them to do their own
praying2 Nobody could object to the
Solons of the state humbly kneeling
every night in the privacy of their cham
ber- and repeating: "Now 1 lay me
down to sleep" 1t might make them
better, and they would have prayer
learned which they could use in all
emergencies. Mr.. Carey's amendment
should have passed, directing the clergy
men to pray for the state of Maine.

THE MESSAGE.

Governor Smiths message is remarka-
BILE for nothing except for its being Won
derfully noncommittal on almost every
subject in which there may be decided
difference of opinion. He is an optimist
and 'has no doubt" that what the legis-
lature will do, will be tue best thing
that can be done. The usual comph-
mentary remarks are made regarding the
management Of every institution and de-
partment of the state. Everything is
satisfactory and the message is simply a
congratulation. The governor has some
thing to say regarding the exemption OF
any property in the state from taxation,
but carefully abstains from any recon-
mendations. Like Grant, she has no
policy" but will cheerfully Co operate
with the legislature on the matter. He
thinks the common schools have made
some improvements and is lavish of his
praise of the university, normal schools
and state superintendent in consequence
All the charitable, benevolent and penal
institutions, are remembered and COM
mended. He has an opinion on the Fox
and Wisconsin River improvement, and
on the state militia. He wants congress
togo on vigorously with the work Of
improving, and he wants little more OF
the 'militia, fearing that some disturb
ance may arise, and that the present
force, which cost the state s., 443, would
not be sufficient to whip the "other fell
lows" The question of interest is dis
cussed in the usual noncommittal man
ner. Take it all in all the message is
one of little worth and without doubt
was written by Governor Smith himself.
The gratitude expressed for our wonder
ful progress and prosperity, the conf
dence manifested that we ere going to be
a great people, in fact, are now near the
top notch, the satisfaction the governor
has received from everything he has
seen, and the profuse compliments to
everybody, furnish the unmistakable
| features of governor
who never said foolish thing
| And never did wise one
