The law was outraged and all respect for

said, s.the law was useless and we will be

Dr Frederick Zeile. of San Francisco

DIR. Frederick Zeile, of San Francisco,
evidently sets a high value on his proffes
sional services. He charged the estate OF
the late James Lick $4,000 for one years
medical attendance. The doctor probably
argued that Lick was rich man and the
estate could stand it, The executors, how
ever, thought differently, and after some
litipation the doctor consented to knock
off few extra thousands and bring the
bill down to So, 600 He now poses as
much injured man.

Harmony was all the cry in the New

Harmony was all the cry in the New
York Republican convention yesterday,
and strive hard for it they did. Wood
Pulp Miller having got all he expects,
and certainly more than he deserves
seat in the Senate; and Sharpe, who is not
exactly certain which side of the fence he
is on, were both anxious for it. In the
meantime the convention. who, it seems,
are mostly half breed, and consequently
belioerant refuse to elect as temporary
chairman the man whom the stalwaTt CEN
trail committee had picked out to fill the
position. and there is doubtless some sore
heads over that decision. The result OF
the investigations of the committee on
credentials will be interesting, but it
would not be surprising thing to have
the half-breed conventions practice some
of the tricks which Conkling has taught
them and refuse him seat Ii would be
trifie rough on Roscoe, but he could
retire to the shades of Utica
ard wonder which is the
worse, that or Sprague's shot gun. The
New York republican is queer animal
but he is mad just now and there Is no
knowing what he viii do. Wood Pulp,
Miller's address on civil service reform,
must have been intensely interesting 1t
was but short time ago that Johnny Day
export was up at Albany promising federal
Offices to the self-sacrifcing patriots there,
if they would only vote for said Miller for
Senator.
Miller on civil service reform is as comic,
though perhaps not as exciting, as Wood1n
on step-ladders, but Platt was the officer
who called the convention to order and re
marks of that nature would have been IN
opportune. Republican harmony is queer
thing. But short time ago the two rae
tons were fighting ike cats and dogs all
mated each side claimed strictly by princl
pie, and now they say that principle BIDS
| them sslav down the arms of fractional war
fare" At any rate it is the same principle
in both instances, the principle OF the
spoils.

An exchange gives the following
excellent advice to young men: We
often think what chances are offered
to poor but industrious young men,
here in our beautiful wilds of Northern
Michigan. Here are thousands of
acres of almost every variety of soil,
plenty of timber, abundance of the
purest and best of water Land is
cheap; can be had on terms within the
reach of any steady, economical, in
dustrious man. 1t is strange to us how
so many of our strong, vigorous young
men seem To utterly fail to see the op-
portunity TO acquire wealth by taking
hold of these lands and moulding them
into farms. 1t may seem an irksome
undertaking TO begin with little but
bare hands; but it is infinitely easier
than drifting through life with no set
tied plan in view, no home, nothing
laid by for use in case misfortune over
takes you; in time of sickness or ac-
cident an object of charity for your
relatives, friends, or the public. Take
a farm, by all means! And don't 20
out of Northern Michigan TO get it.

Correspondence.

South BRANCH, May l6. 1891
Editor Ardldnche:-I have been
studying over the propriety of inaugu-
rating a Farmers Club in our county :;
whether it would be beneficial to the
farming class, and have come to the
conclusion that it would, and give my
reasons for the same.
In the first place, it will give us a
chance TO become more thoroughly ac-
quainted with each other as farmers,
and by getting acquainted with each
other we can exchange our views on
the subject that we are all more or less
interested in the subject of a system
attic plan of producing the most and
the best paying crops in this locality,
and the method of raising such crops,
and by so doing we can have the ex-
perience of each others experiments,
and therby all be benefited. | would
be glad to read the views of
Others on the subject through the col
umns of the AVALANCHE, and If we
can come to some good understanding
in regard to the matter, we then can
call a meeting of the farmers and
make arrangements to form or organ
ize n county club.
