ANN HARBoR, MICH. :.
Well, we'll who would have thunk
it Edward, shake, old boy, and
please accept the PlLoT's congratula-
tions on behalf of the citizens Of
Irwin. Some two months ago we had
the pleasure of riding in company
with Mr.. Colbu1n t, Denver, and on
his arrival he complained of being un-
well. We did not think at that time
what the nature of his complaint was,
but the mystery is solved. Capt.
Shurtleff thinks he will be afraid to go
to his room and pull him out of bed
this summer as he did last, and that
he will have to sleep between some
thing else this summer besides gunny
sacks.
Mr.. Colburn came among us last
spring as an attorney, aud as such he
built up reputation not surpassed by
any other lawyer in the county. We
hope that his welded life will be a
long and happy one, and their trou-
bles may all be little ones.

A Very Ncedful Invention.

The facts were these Mr.. Skid'a
neighbor kept goat and that goat had
often got at Mr.. Skid and butted him
two rods, end over end, and he hated
the goat profusely. But the neighbor
wouldn't keep the goat shut up, and so
Skid invented machine to slay the goat.
1t was in the form of a man bending
down to pick up his hat, but in the body
was spring Of tremendous power. From
the hip pocket of the figure waved red
handkerchief that was the target to
draw on the goat When he butted il
the spring would fly and throw the goat
n big distance. The machine was gotten
up in very elaborate style and looked just
like a man. 1t was perfect enough to de-
ceiye any goat. And il cost Skid$T4. But
he didn't begrudge the money so long
as it fetched the goat. And he took the
machine and put it out in his front yard
where the goat could see it, and then he
retired TO his house and waited to see
the fun. He waited about two hours,
and then his son came in and told him
that the goat had swallowed an old hoop
skirt the night before and it had got
tangled i'll his bowels and slain him.
And Of course Skid was terribly mad.
But the machine was not wholly wasted,
for the boy took II and put it on the
outside Of the circus tent so 1t looked
like man just starting to crawl under,
and a policeman ran up and hit it with his
club and was surprised tosee his club fly
forty feet into the mir, while his arm
ached like fury, and then stalwart cir
Gus man run up and kicked tho king and
was picked up twenty feet away with
his leg broken in two places. And when
he got over his surprise he said he'd give
that man season ticket if he'd tell
how he did it, as he'd like to work the
same racket on the old man Of tho girl
he was courting. But the machine
couldn't be found, the boy having, in
the excitement, taken it home. He is
going to sell it to a country editor, to be
pointed out as "the man who wrote the
article you object to. You can proceed
to kick him. - Boston Post.

ConstancY,s Reward.

A touching little romance illustrating
wifely devotion has come to light on
Mount Ida. -Four years ago comely
young lady was accepting the attentions
of two gentlemen, one the possessor of a
fair competence and the other poor, like
herself. Upon the death of her parents
her grandmother assumed her control.
To please this relative she consented to
unite her fortunes with those OF the
poor young man, who besides his i'm
poverished circumstance was a cripple.
The more acceptable suitor was nearly
crazed. A tempting offer to enter busi-
ness in New York was refused by him.
He declared his determination to be
wherever his loved one, then the wife Of
another, was located. A year after the
wedding the husband fell i'll. As disease
made inroads upon his constitution, and
poverty stalked in at the door, the young
wife was Obliged to seek employment in
a knitting mill After long illness, IN
which he was steadfastly attended by
his hard working companion, death
brought an end to the poor cripple's ex,
istence. During this illness the rejected
lover was the contributor Of delicacles tt
the sick, which the patient, with
knowledge of the source from whlcf
they came, accepted. A vow that th'
disappointed gentleman made upon thu
marriage Of his idol to the deceased Il
possibly attended with prospects of re
alization. It was that should the accepte.
one die during the lifetime Of the rejectee
one. he would renew his suit. Although
the earth over the grave Of the dead ha
: hardly settled, an interview has beei
requested, and two hearts separated b,
fate will probably be united by love-

IF THE remaining three months OF the
year are fraught with as great disasters,
comparatively, as haze the nine months
past, truly the year 1881 will long be
remembered as an epoch Of calamities
in the history of the world. So far thus
year the enumeration is as follows: A
great earthquake in the Greek Archi-
pelago; floods in various countries OF
Europe; tornadoes in the Northwest
fearful storms in the South the appear
ance of two comets; an exceptionally
cold winter and an equally exceptionally
hot summer, with its attendant drouth ;
the assassination Of the Gar of Russia
and the attempted murder of the Presi-
dent the yellow day in New England,
and the terrible forest fires in Michigan.

Princess DOlgorouki's Hair.

Princess Dolgorouki was remarkable
for the beauty and abundance of her
hair, and Court gossip tells us that, like
many other great men, Alexander III. had
been caught in the tilet d'dnlour, which,
according to old Marot, the poet, cap
lures the souls of men. The Emperor's
admiration for the tresses of the Princess
was so great that he often said to her
"If die first ] shall rest all the easier
il that hair lies with me In my coffin. .
The impression on the mind Of the Prin-
cess was SO vivid, that at the very
moment the news OF the Emporer's
death had reached her, she cut off with
her own hands the rich abundance o.
her tresses, and inclosed them in sealed
packet directed to the Empress, with {
humble request that the late Emporer'I
desire might be fulfilled. The Ozarina'I
gentle and afBectionate heart was moved
10 the core by this sacrifice and the re
quest, and il is well known among tn
ladies Of the Court that the white satil
pillow upon which reposed the head O
the late Czar contained the last token o
love and remembrance from the Princes

THERE is trouble about Pharoah of
old. Among the mummies discovered
in the cave near Thebes, in Egypt, one
of them is said to be the Identical
Pharoah who oppressed the children of
Israel. Doctors of Divinity have
preached for centuries that Pharoah and
his host were drowned in the Red Sea.
At the word of command Moses stretched
forth his hand over the sea, the waters
returned and overwhelmed all the
Egyptians, so that "tItere remained moi
so much as one of them" Those are
the Scripture words. Christians and
others will wait with some anxiety fol
further revelations concerning the iden.
tity Of the mummies discovered.

THERE is a story current, and not
without a semblance of truth about 1t,
that King Kalakaua is native OF ONO.
His reputed birth place is Preble County,
where, as a boy, he was known among
his associates as oyerbearing and brutal
in his ways. The story goes that, grow
ing older, he became unmanageable, and
possessed of spirit Of daring, he ran
away from home, boarded a ship putting
to sea, was wrecked, picked up by a
passing vessel bound for the Indies, and
finally landed in that country. The
then King having lost his only son, who
very much resembled David Chat was
the boys name) adopted him, and In
time he fell heir to the throne. This is
the whole story in nut shell, and may
during the Kings visit here, be more
| fully investigated.

The Cincinnati Commercial says that
PRAYING for the recovery OF the Presi-
dent, offered up prayers for Guiteau
also. The advisability Of praying for
Guiteau, to the Christian mind, seems to
be difficult problem. The Bible
teaches them to pray for their enemies,
ana many OF them do not sec why they
should not pray for Guiteau, whose soul
is on the brink of perdition. On this
same point Rev. N. Summerbell, min
lister of the Gospel, writes ns follows !:
Moses and Miriam did not turn to the
port side of the sea to hold prayer meet
ing for the souls of the pursuing host,
but n jubilee over their destruction,
exodus, xv.) Jesus prayed for Peter,
but not for Judas. Jesus said of some
they have never forgiveness, and Saint
John said There is sin unto death, /
do not say that he shall pray for it. The
truth is that both nature and grace teach
that there are some things which should
be destroyed; and God saw that the
destruction of such was best for them rs
well as for the universe. Saint Peter
said of this class Of persons These.
as natural brute beasts, made to be
taken and destroyed, speak evil Of the
things they understand not, and shall
utterly perish in their own corruption. !"
Thus it will be seen that there seems TO
be room for an argument on both sides.

habeaS corpus, has changed his mind
about the matter. He has been told by
District Attorney Corkhill that he can
not be protected on his way to court by
the soldiers. Why he IS protected in
the jail and could not be protected by
soldiers when out Of it is explained MS
follows by Corkhill "The jail belongs
to the Government, and is built on
Government land, and the troops are
ostensibly employed in guarding Govern
ment property. When it comes TO
guarding Guiteau from the jail to the
courthouse when the time for his exami-
nation arrives, that will be another
thing. The inference was that the care
Of Guiteau would then be left to the
civil authorities, and that they would be
powerless TO prevent the people wreak-
ing summary vengeance on the assassin. !"
This talk, coming as it does from an
army officer of high rank, shows the
utter detestation in which Guiteau is
held by those who are compelled by hard
safe to be his defenders.

IT is stated that there are hundred
or more men in jail at Chicago on the
charge of murder. A third of them have
been incarcerated in the last nine
months. What do the authorities of
that city propose to do with these fell
lows? In the far West they hang men
for murder, and are not very long about
it. either. Five men were hanged in
bunch at Fort Smith, Ark, the other
day, and the country feels the safer for
1t. Chicago seems to be trying to get a
good crop on hand before they begin to
harvest.
