A terrible disaster occurred on the
Detroit river, some nine miles below
the city, on Thursday evening. The
excursion steamer Garland, with 200
persons or board, under the auspices of
the Detroit Molders' Union, while GO
ing down the river collided with the
ste I'm yacht Mamie coming up, cutting
her in two, so that she almost imme-
diately sank. The latter had on board
"a persons, consisting mainly of Father
Bleycnberg, pastor OF the Trinity (Ro-
man Catholic) Church of Detroit, and u
number of acolytes, boys officiating in
various capacities in the service of the
church. They had been on an annual
excursion to Monroe, and were return
ing home. The night was bright moon
light, and there would seem to have
been no earthly reason, save that OF
criminal negligence, why the accident
should have occurred OF those on
board the Mamie, II were lost.

and 500 veterans of the late war. A
salute of 100 guns was fired while the
procession marched through the city.
The line of march was brilliantly illumi-
mated and decorated with everWeens

1t is estimated that nearly 20, coo peo

excused himself from making aspeeeh
on account of hoarseness. To-day
he will visit the mines, and attend the
theater in the evening and ball and
reception after the theater. The party
will remain until Monday. The city
expends $40, 900, mostly raised by pr-
vate subscription, for the entertain

Saws the New YORK Herald. asf

Says the New York Herald: "Some
eighteen years ago young and smart
democrat spendthrift, of the name of
Benjamin f. Butler, gathered all his po-
litical substance and decamped into the
far country of the republicans where he
wasted it in riotous living, to his and
| their discredit. And when he had
spent it all, just about the beginning of
President Hayes administration, there
arose mighty famine in that land, and
he began to be in sore political want.
So, after various swinish experiences in
husks with Greenbackers and the like,
the notion occurred to him of returning
to the Democratic homestead, waking
the old man up and telling how hungry
he is, which he forthwith executed most
piteously at Faneuil Hall, in Boston,
last Saturday evening. So far the par
allel between Gen. Butler and another
famous prodigal is pretty exact. Now
it remains to be seen how cordially the
venerable democratic father will greet
The famished wanderer-whether he
will kill fatted calf for him and give
him chance at the family wardrobe.
If he does, it will be fun to see the re-
turned spendthrift eating the tenderloin
and dressing up in the old mans best
clothes, while the elder sons, who new
er have transgressed these many years,
have not even kid to make merry with
their friends, But there is plausible
scriptural authority for the generals
expectations

Since our last report another of our

his death was not unexpected, though

Some of our citizens have formed a

How He Loves the People,

In the last legislature there was a
railroad Dill perore Une House, wnen
John Ballanfant offered the following
amendment:
That if stock killed should damage the
railroad By throwing of the train, the o,on-
err Of the stock shall be responsible for the
damage. (See House Journal, S09.)
Mr.. Ballanfant pretends to love the
dear people, but here is an attempt to
fasten upon them one of the most
obnoxious laws ever imagined. If a poor
mans calf gets on the track and throws
the train off, the poor fellow has to pay
for relaying the track, building new
cars, for all the legs and arms
broken and noses bruised ; $4,000 each
for all the lives lost, etc. Is it not
ridiculous? But isn't it more ridicu-
lous that the man who tried to do this
should now profess to love the dear peo-
pie? He intended, we suppose, to let
the poor DEVILS damages be assessed and
added up, and then allow him to repu-
date it. That would be the only way
he could ever pay it. The railroad
would soon own every farm within
cow-range of it, from one end to the
other, if Col. John had his way. And
still he rears upon his hind legs and
curses the railroads.

Secrets of the Great Whisky
Ring.

Those who think they know all about
the "Secrets of the Great Whisky
Ring" will find how much they have
never heard or dreamed of by reading
General McDonald's book, just pub
lished by Bedford, Clarke and Co., Chi
cago. 1t is a most interesting book, and
the fac siDaile letters and documentary
proofs given to the public for the first
time bear testimony of the truthfulness
of the history. No one after beginning
perusal of the book will want to lay it
aside until he has completed it. A st.
Louis paper says: alt is a shameful
showing of corruption, rascality and Gu
pidity. The flood of new light which is
here presented to the country may have
the effect of reopening the cases of
the gentlemen who fancied that they
had passed from public view."
The book is sold by subscription, and
the demand is very great. 1t is the
most popular subscription book of the
year. Over $4,000 copies were sub
scribed for in one state before the book
went to pressl The Southern News
Company, Louisville, KY, are the gem
eral Southern agents, to whom applica-
tions should be made for agencies. One
or two live agents are wanted in this

Mr.. Wilson, the bolter's candidate for
governor, seems to be super sensitive
about his honor. He is very much in
the habit of saying, with the air OF a
man who carries q six-shooter in his

sailed with impunity. If he were half
as sensitive about the honor of his ma
tive state as he appears to be about his
own, there might be some excuse for all

The democracy of Tennessee have
covered themselves with glory in the
sound and patriotic platform adopted
by their state convention and the NOM
nation of Hon. John V. Wright as
their gubernatorial candidate. The
platform meets the question of repadia-

bold ground that the honest democracy
of the state intends to pay its honest
debts. Judge Wright, the nominee for
governor, is a most able and eloquent
