THERE Is SOMETHING of dramatic strut
in stepping across the centuries, and it takes
a pretty long stride but it can be done, and,
rather singularly, a noted instance of this
kind of ghosts walk occurs in the family
of Wren--a name not strikingly suited to
such movement unless the march of time
is taken at hop, skip and jump. A men,
Der of this family Of Wren, but bearing the
more martial name of Rdout, has just died
at the age of 96, Among the medals that
he bore was one inherited from his father,
who had in turn inhcritcdi 1t from his uncle,
Gen. Wren, who wore it as an honor won
at Colloden. This soldier was the brother
of the architect Of st. Paul who was born
in 1862. Thus, in fact, but one generation
intervencd between man born at the time
of the death of Gustavus Adolphus, when
King Charles l, Of England was only a little
boy of seven years ofage, and descendant of
his family who dies in the forty-fourth
year of the reign Of Queen Victoria-a
period of two centuries and half.

One of the flows will como to the left of

THAT TEXAN STEER that lost himself in
tho streets of New York lately must have
felt very far from home. He ran for squares,
upsetting people and pigs and potato barrels,
and not pistol shot reached him. This GER
tainly could not have happened in Texas.
The poor brute finally had to gore horse,
tanglc himself up in the harness and volun-
tarily lay down on the pavement before any
body got bullet in. There is even now q
shrewd suspicion that some butchers, aided
by small boys, dispatched the animal be-
fore the armed police reached the field OF
action.

A DROWNED BODY discovered in the Mis-
souri, River, near Kansas City, has been
identified as that of the Rev. Sidney NJ.
Stray. Such closing scene would fttingy
end the strange and crrant career of one
who was indeed astray. AS u clergyman,
holding position at Glen Falls, n. Y, he was
not long ago expelled by the Prcsbytcry for
shooting his wife and on charges of other
misconduct. Recently he was in Lcavcn-
worth in the capacity of book-keeper, and is
understood to have changed his name and
fled the town in panic under the apprehcn-
sion that the brother of his injured wife was
seeking his life.

IT is PROBABLE, says the correspondent
of the Baltimore SIN, that within a COM
paratively few years the White House will,
as has often of late been suggested, be used
only for the President office, and a magnifi-
cent residence in more eligible part of the
city be provided for the use of himself and
family. The indications are that move
ments with this purpose in view will be in
stituted at the next session of Congress.
There are several possessors of fine estates
here who are quite willing to dispose of
them for this object. A very distinguished
and wealthy Senator who has had and
probably still has presidential aspirations,
has with some Others recently purchased a
very fine property in the northwestern
suburbs, which, it is generally understood,
is, at seasonal opportunity, to be pressed
as the proper place on which to locate the
new Executive Mansion.
As we understand it, the property re-
ferred to-the Stone cstate-is being cut up
into small lots for the regular real estate
market. Whether the portion specially
adopted for an Executive Mansion is to be
reserved intact we do not know. 1t is to
be hoped that it will be so reserved. II

THE REVIVAL of interest in theological
subjects caused by the publication of the re-
vised Testament is spreading in the most
unexpected directions. Some important
points came up for consideration among a
group of 'longshoremeni in New York bar

to the day, the subject was pursued with
evcr-growing earnestness until u 'longshore-
man proved his point with knife, and one

THE PRICE OF MUTTON has gone up and
that of ostrich feathers has gone down in
South Africa. Common sense might be sup
posed from this indication to have mad boom
in that region, but the change in the market
has not arisen from change of heart. On
the contrary, it springs from Mephis-
tophclian conviction of the increasing folly
of the rest of the world Having seen few
travelling Englishmen lately in those parts,
and probably picked up some American
newspaper that the British soldiers dropped
from their pockets when running away
from the Beers, those smart South Africans
have become assured of the continuous
reign of fashion, and are going to make
their everlasting fortunes by abolishing
sheep-wallSs and turning to ostrich farming.

THAT HEAVY Jupiter Tonans, the Phila-

on the pension business
or course the outlay on account Of pen
sions does not represent an absolute loss:
The money does not leave the country, and
while much of 1t Is absorbed bymiddlemen,
much goes TO benefit deserving people; But
the wonder is that this eXceptlonal eN
pendituro should be concurrent with
large and steady reduction of the debt and
with u tightening OF the bureau OF taxation
The only possible explanation Is TO DC
found in the substantial prosperity ana inc
great natural wealth of the nation.
From the depths of highly inquisitiyC
nature we should like to ask this great
paper, in view of the pension drain, how
steady would be the reduction of the deb
in case the crops went to protest couple
times and we lost that plum called balanc
of trade? The fact may as well be stated
we are presuming freely on the perennia

Paid IL to the State Treasury
From the Lansing Republican,

rloll tuo LtlolllB htpuDuCdn,
The late John j. Bagley, soon after his
first election as governor, insisted that
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railroad company was not paying as
much tax to the state treasury as the
law contemplated; and at his suggestion
the legislature at its session in 1877
passed joint resolution instructing the
governor, attorney general, and auditor
general to cause examination of this
claim to be made as soon practicable, and
then, if thought just and expedient, to
make test case and vigorously pros
ecute the same. These officers were also
empowered to employ such able counsel
as might be deemed necessary to carry
out the spirit of resolution. Attorney
General Kirchner, assisted by C. A. Kent
of Detroit, then commenced suit against
the company in the Wayne circuit court,
and in October, 1880, obtained a Judge
ment against the company for $80,21421,
back taxes which had accrued as follows:
For 1869, $2,OO6.03; for 1870, $2,OO6O3;
1871, $2,O0603; for 1872, $5,53662; for
1873, $5,536.62, and for each year from
1874 to 1881, $7,S90.36, The decree of the
lower court was affirmed at the June
term OF the supreme court in 1881. On
Thursday, Oscar G.. Getzen-Denver, as
sistant general counsel of the railway
company, paid into the state treasury
$68,659.5O of the amount awarded, cover
ing the years from 1863 to 1881. The
amount for the years from 1869 to 1872
is still held under advisement, but will
probably soon be paid. In addition to
the $80,214.21 covered by the decree the
sum OF $7,S9O36 will be added to the an
nual receips of the state treasury.

The moment that Senator T. w. Ferry heard
Of the death of John j. Bagley he telegraphed

he called upon the family, attended the funeral

and omitted no courtesy or attention 1t was

senatorship last winter, has not up to this

The above our contemporary copied
from the Detroit Evening News, and had
the unfairnsss to publish it after full
explanation had been made, stating that
Senator Conger was absent in Manitoba,
that his friends had not heard from him
for two weeks, and in all probability he
had not heard of the death Of our lament
ed Ex-Governor. This explanation was
made in Detroit papers that came in
Wednesday evenings mail, but this
made no difference to the editor of our
cotemporary and the publication of the
above was only in keeping with his
characteristic unfairness.

The following in regard to the burial
of Michigans former excellent and wei
beloved governor, we take from the De-
troit Free Press.
The Obsequies of the late John j. Bag
ley were held on Sunday at the family
residence, on Washington avenue and
Park street. The crowd in attendance
was enormous. Men came from every
quarter of the State-men distinguished
in public affairs and private citizens
while fully One-quarter of the city's
population must have turned out to
assist in the final demonstration of re-
spect and affection for good and truly
benevolent man gone from sight forever.
Washington and MacOmb avenues and
Park street, within reaching distance of
the Bagley mansion, were densely pack
ed. woodward avenue from the Grand
Circus to Fort street for two or three
miles was fringed with people who had
come out to see the cOrtege, and the in
tersecting streets all along the line of
march were blOckaded with carriages
and thousands on foot. Probably no
other funeral in this city ever drew to-
| gether so many persons.
|
affecting, yet simple. Many in the
packed rooms silently wept while these
were in progress, and all seemed to feel
that the Opportunity was one that ought
not to be lost to give evidence to the
general appreciation of the gentle char
acter and far-reaching benevOlence of
the man now lying dead in their pres
ence. The Rev. T. B. FOrbush, who was
Mr.. Bagley's pastor, read some exceed
ingly beautiful and timely Scriptural
selections and delivered brief address.
Hon. Isaac MarstOn, Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of Michigan, also
spoke with feeling Ond simple elOquence
of his departed friend, to whom he paid
some deserved and touching tributes for
his generous ambition to serve his State
and people whenever and however he
could make his opportunity and desire
meet.
At the conclusion of Chief Justice Mar
stOn's address, Mrs. Wood sang "Only
Remembered" Mr.. FOrbush offered
solemn prayer and the services at the
house ended by Mrs! Fanny COOper's
singing Beyond the Smiling and the
Weeping Shall be SOOn."
The procession then started for Wood
mere. 1t was composed of detachment
of police, Gardeners Band, National Guard
Montgomery Rifles, Light Infantry,
Light Guard, another detachment of
police, employees of the house of Jno. j.
Bagley & Co., and train of vehicles
nearly mile long. The honorary pail
bearers were Justices MarstOn and Camp
bell, of the Supreme Court, Col. II. M.
Duffield, Col. Jerome Croul, Alex. H. Dey,
Merrill 1. Mills, f. W. Meddaugh, Geo. c.
LangdOn, Geo. c. Wetherbee, Geo. V. N.
L Lott BENJAMIN Vernon, Gov. Jerome,
of COldwater, and Hon. M. S. Brewer, of
Pontiac. At Twelfth street, on the way
to the cemetery, the military escort
halted, formed in line and presented
arms while the hearse was passing. At
the grave, in Woodmere, Mr.. FOrbush
spoke very briefly, and the dead was hid
den from mortal eyes forever.
