The University of Michigan, the Detroit Post
and Tribune says, mot only exists without
rowing, but it actually presents the extra0r.
binary phenomenon of have more students, and
being u larger and more successful educational
institution, than any 0theriin the country with
out so much MS o solitary rowing club, crew,
boat, or oar anywhere about its premises! It
certainly educates q large number of well-trsin-
ed doctors. lawyers, engineers and general
scholars; though whether that Is of any use,
since they can't row. may seem to some people
doubtful"

The st. Louis correspondent of the Sedalis
Democrat. under date of Sept. 4th. says:-''To-
day was buried Major J. B. Sayre. a gentleman
long and favorably known in st. Louis. Major
Sayre was a civil engineer by profession. and 1t
was he who laid out Camp jackson. He served
with distinction in the confederate army. and
both before and since the war was prominently
connected with our local military. He ha no
relatives here, but all who knew him were his
friends, and his old companions of the National
Guard attended his funeral and buried him
with military honors. The services at Christ
Church were participated in by a large number
who knew and esteemed the deceased in life
Long Branch letter:-''Eyery day about five
O'Clock Gen. Grant comes dashing along Ocean
avenue behind a fine team of bays that draw his
heavy 7. cart. Ordinarily he drives alone:
sometimes his son Ulysses is with him, and oc-
casionally one sees Richard j. Dobbins. who
owns half of the Branch and plenty of Philadel-
phia as well, in the seat beside him. Grant Is
now in the financial vortex. He haunts Wall
street, although not as a general Spectator.
talks stock and Mexican railroad prospects
continually, has become brusque in manner,
more dashing In dress and more talkative than
ever before. Sometimes he wears q blue necktle
with a red dot in It,, and occasionally I notice
the plaid patterns of his trowsers is very large
as to squares and sensational as to effect. They
say he Is making money"
A correspondent OF the Globe Democrat who
was present when the president was removed
from the white house thus describes his ap-
pearance:-''HIs face was exposed to the open
air uncovered. and such a face. so worn and
sallow and pinched in expression. 1t had the
chastity hue of the grave. The beard is cropped
AZ Lac hCSA
concealed by a thick wadding of cotton, which
extended from the lower part Of the neck to the
root OF the ear. His. mustache was gone. His
nose seemed dreadfully pinched and sharp and
hooked like a sort of claw; yet, with all this, 1t
was said on every hand that he did not look as
bad as was anticipated. 1t is difficult to say
what such people anticipated. Had he been in
his gravc-clothes the president could have
scarcely looked more O corpse. Even his eyes
were set and CLASSY"
The Observation-Disclosures man of the New
YORK Herald has some ideas. One of the best
ones We have seen Is this:-'Jenkins came to
New York from Il suburban city, and, going to
a first rate restaurant, had a broiled porter
house beefsteak which was cooked by a well
paid man who had a fine fire. He paid seventy
five cents for 1t and went away satisfied and
happy, saying that after all it Is nonsense for a
woman 10 think that she cannot cook q b~eeistesk
IN the right style. When he got out OF the tram
at his station that evening he thought that he
would have another fine, tender, juicy and rich
beefstcak, and as he was used to doing the
marketing he went into the butcher store,
bought q thin piece of beef from the round for
twenty cents, went home to lind his wife at the
washtnb, and throwing the round steak on the
table SAID, Il want you to cook that in the New
death. /, 'E
