FROM CHEBOYGAN.
Remarks of IN Casual Observer about
this Lively village.

From the Bay City Tribune.
CHEBoYGAN, Nov. 81, 18S1.-The vii
lage of ChebOygan, situated on the
straits of Mackinaw, at the mouth of
the Cheboygan river, and at what is
practically the terminus of the northern
extension of the j., L. e S. railroad, is
just beginning to feel the impetus of
business and improvement. 1t is now a
town Of about 1900 inhabitants. having
increased within the past year nearly
1000. From table prepared by some
of the prominent builders and contrac-
tors, published in the Cheboygan Demo-
crat, it appears that during the past
year there have been erected i'm the vii
lage some 100 dwelling houses, six brick
stores, ten frame stores and offices, be-
sides much in the way of improvement
and repairs on buildings, costing in all
be noted the completion of the railroad,
the erection of passenger and freight
depOts, and railroad dock more than
tial character. and warehouse on the
uOSh. hioV uiSO Hill ny
Smith e Adams, the laying of more than
three miles of water pipe, the boring the
salt well to test the question of salt, the
improvement by the government to the
harbor and piers at its mouth, besides
numerous minor imprOvements-all
showing wonderful improvement in the
village during the past year and arguing
great things in the future.
There is no town in Michigan making
greater strides to-day than Cheboygan,
and no town which presents better in
ducements to the enterprising business
man seeking new location. The
country about is of excellent soil gener-
ally, well watered, well supplied with
timber, and possessing all the elements
to make it thriving community, while
the situation of the town on the great
lakes, the railroad and the inland waters
make it unsurpassed. The vii
1age has good union school and COM
Portable churches.
cannot as yet speak in detail of its
various business enterprises, but shall
leave such matters for some future COM
municatiOn. The people here have I'M
limited faith in the future of this place,
and cordially extend the hand of fellow
ship to all seeking its borders for bust
ness or residence. OBSERVER.

When the great public of so large a
a portion of the civilized world as is

Britain, and her colonies, give choice to

sign that it is good one. There are
many newspapers in the world, but none
that have a wider-reaching popularity
than The Detroit Free Press. It's pure

information, seem to be exactly what
the public want. UnquestiOnably, The

Mr.. Haynes moved that Mr.. Adams deserved

and OF condemnatory resolutions pelted upon

Old combatant never fiinched, but felt quite at
home, and perhaps rather enjoyed himself
amid the wild din and tsmult. "I suppose
that II L shall be brought to the bar of the
House shau not be struck mute by the, pre-
Vlous question before have an opportunity to
say word or two in my own Defence" he
said. His WORD two" proved, as usual,
very rasping. He reminded the gentlemen
that he had presented no petition at all, but
had only asked a question; he notified Mr..
Lewis that his resolution did not coincide with
the petition, which prayed that slavery should
not be abolished; he made the most irate
laugh at the unfortunate phrase "giving color
to an idea" He did not, however, content
himself with mere sparrlng exhibition but in
profound earnest made an eloquent appeal in
behalf of the universal right OF petition with
out regard to the social status of the petitioner.
In time his antagonists became heartily dis
gusted with the contest; for, apart from such

Adams strenuously resisted this, being relent-

on the excitement again waxed furious. The
more perturbed among the Southerners sent

told him that the Union was in danger.

John Quincy Adams and the Right
of Petition.
[John 7. Morse in International Review

John T. Morse in International Review.1
One day in February, 1887, after presenting
an enormous number of his usual petitions,
Mr.. Adams said that he had another paper of
somewhat extraordinary character, and he
would like to know whether its presentation
would be in order; it purported to be signed
by eleven slaves. Mr.. Speaker Polk was start
led, declined to decide the question, and said
he would refer it to the House. Mr. Adams's
long preceding array of Abolitiopist petitions
had wearled members into inattention, but Mr..
Polk's obvious embarrassment attracted Mr..
Lewis of Alabama, who asked what the petit
tlon was. Being told, he lost all control of
himself, frothed at the mouth, turned toward
Mr.. Adams and calculated at the top of his
voice, "By God, sir! this is not to be Ell dured
any longer" Treason! treason!' screamed
half dozen other me mbers. "Expel the old
scouudrell'' "Put him out!" "Do not let
him disgrace the House any longer!" A reso-
luton was moved that Mr.. Adams, having
presented petition signed by negro slaves,
and so 'given color to an idea" that bondsmen
might petition, should be brought before the
bar of the House and censured by the Speak
er. Another motion for the rejection of the
petition fell so far short of tho intensity Of the
occasion that it was promptly withdrawn. 1t
was intinated that if such offenders were TO
escape unchastised Southern representatives
would do well to go home. Mr. Afford wished
the paper to be burned by order of the House.

Two Kinds of Time.

Are tine mornings now shorter than the af-
ternoons? and do the days increase faster in
the afternoon than in the morning? are aues-
tions of frequent recurrence among thoselnter-
ested in observing the lengthening days. Ac-
cording to the almanac this would seem to be
the case. Take, for illustration, the 18th of
January. The morning is twenty-five minutes
shorter than the afternoon, and while in the
morning the days increase is only five minutes
In the afternoon the gain amounts to twenty
minutes. But noon by the clock and noon by
the sun are not the same thing, and the real
noon is the passage of the re II sun across the
meridian or point overhead. Taking this for
the standard, the mornings and the afternoons
are OF equal length and the days increase is
uniform at each end. Thus, ON the 18th, the
sun is eleven minutes slower than the clock,
and the real noon does not occur until eleven
minutes after II, clock time. The length of
the day on the 18th is Oh. 32m. One-half the
day is 4h. 46m Subtract this halliday from
the real noon. 12h lin, and the result is III.
Pom. for sunrise Add the halliday to the
eleven minutes and the result is All. Sim. for
sunset, the morning and afternoon being equal
and the days increase uniform. Almost any
almanac will give the required data, which
are the time the sun is fast or slow,
and the days length: similar result will fok

YOUNG men go West for wisdom now as

from the st. Louis Globe worth needing.
The writer of them puts on the cap and
bells to attract an audience,-but the sage's
face is easily detected under the testers
hood: One of the paragraphs of the De-
troit Free Press is to the effect that lovely
woman does not believe half that she reads
in the daily papers; it is only wheu she pays
her dollar to the cairvoyant that she expects
to get the solid truth. No better ilustra-
ton OF this could be found than the action
OF the fair depositors in the Woman's Bank
OF Boston, who, instead of seeking to punish
the frauds who guaranteed them per cent.

gether to retain a lawyer for the defense.

ligious belief by saying. ~ always pray to
the Virgin Mary; l never pray to the Father
nor to the Son. To tell the truth, never
did have any confidence in men, The
Boston depostors are of her way of think
ing; they never did have any confidence in
men, but when it comes to trusting one of
their own sex no indictment from a grand
jury could shake their confidence.

Tie following news item may be of inter-
est to some Portland debtors and creditors
Mr.. Moody was followed to his lodgings a
fortnight ago by convert who wished to ask
INN whether it would be right now that he
had become Christian, for him to pay his
whiskey bills. The evangelist told him to
pay all his debts, no matter how bad they
might be, and then to make new start.
