The Brigade Encampment,

The following communication signed
by MANY Militiamen" was sent to the
Port Huron Times, and speaks for it.
self:
The Detroit dailies seem 10 he la.
boring under the impression that the
annual encampment will be given UP
this year, and that two or three com.
panies will be selected to attend the
governor and his staff and few high
officials on his trip to the yorktown
centennial. There is no doubt that the
Yorktown celebration will be o grand
one. We all would like TO 20, but il
would be sad mistake to give up the
encampment and appropriate that fund
for such trip.
The interests Of the militia service
require that we have an annual en-.
campment. Very few company com.
manders can keep up any interest
in their companies when it is known
that there will be no encampment.
Practically the brigade will be dit.
banded for one year or until such time
as another notice shall be given. There

Notwithstanding the croakerS re-
garding poor crops, balance of trade
against us, and a reaction in the bust
ness boom, the situation just al pres
ent is satisfactory TO the business COM
munity. The general trade Of the
country, as evidenced by the published
reports shows an activity almost un-
precedented at this season OF the year.
After making due allowance for any
increase in value in commercial or
speculative way, the exchange outside
of New York for the week were fully
10 per cent. greater than for the same
week last year, and in that city they
were 90 per cent. greater, and 1t would
be natural ut this season Of the year 10
expect q decrease in trade. The money
market is easy, and the supply of cap
ital offering at the money centcrs has
been in excess of the requirements.
This week the government will begin
the semi-annual disbursements, and ob.
legations TO the extent of about thirty
millions of dollars will be a clear gain
to the loan market. Adding the amount
to be paid out in dividends Nv States,
cities, railroads, counties, banks, trust
companies and corporations generally,
it will be seen that the July dishurse-
ments must at very moderate cSti-
mate amount to some seventy-fve nil
lions of dollars. This does not indicate
Il stringent money supply in the near
future. The crop reports do not in
dictate large yield of winter wheat
and there is some alarm rs to the de-
predations of chinch bugs in corn, but
no fair estimate can be made Of the
crops before the middle of July. The
winter wheat States show a falling of,
hut spring wheat may turn out well.
California will have one million tons
surplus wheat to dispose of alone
The lumber trade, in which the people
of this section are largely interested,
was never in more satisfactory con-
dition, both as regards prices and de
mand. The mills are crowding, the
market is active, good returns are real
lied, and the lumberman is cheerful,
has a plethoric purse, and is happy

are ample funds appropriated by the
legislature for encampment purposes
and the proper equipment of the troops.
But any outlay of this fund outside of
this purpose has no justification under
the law.
If the whole brigade could 90 that
would take the place of the encamp-
mcnt and no fault could be found.
But il only few favorites are TO have
the benefit Of such an outlay of the
military fund, there would be serious
question rs 10 It's wisdom and propriety,
not TO say legality Nothing would
miure the service more than Il pro-
erammc of this kind. 1t would please
the few fortunate ones, perhaps, but the
mass Of the men who would be left at
home would certainly be indignant.
In the opinion Of many competent
Judge, IL would i've fatal to the interest
Of the service. We do not believe the
authorities contemplate any thing of
the kind. This scheme is the work of
few who are influenced by selfish an
LClOallOnS.
For the good of all the companies
now in the service, we should have our
regular annual encampment by all
means, unless the whole brigade can 90
to Yorktown, which probably is out of
the question Let a limited number of
companies, say one from each of the
three regiments be selected on their
merits at the close of the encampment
to 60 as an escort of the governor and
his staff. This would suit everybody.
Oar military authorities are far too
watchful over the interests Of the SER
vice to allow anything to be done which
will in any way compromise the inter-
csts Of the State troops. The service
needs wise and impartial management
to make it a success and we trust no
local or political influence will be al
lowed to induce any one in command
to take such course Of action as will
arouse animosities in any portion of the
State.

THE NEW SCHOOL LAWS.

Under the new school laws which go
into effect July | the office of township
superintendent Of schools is abolished,
and the duties of that office are divided
between the county board of school ex-
aminers and the chairman Of the town
ship board Of school inspectors. The
county board of school examiners will
be chosen the first Tuesday in August
August -, and enter upon their duties
the fourth Tuesday in August August
%. At the annual township election
in April, 1882, two school inspectors
will be elected, one to hold office for one
year and one for two years; and annual
" thereafter a school Inspector will be
elected to hold his office for two wears
The law also provides that the inspec-
tor whose term of office shall soonest
expire shall he chairman Of the town
ship board Of school inspectors. As
the election of second school inspec-
TOR cannot occur until April, 1882, the
law provides that the township SUPER
intendent of schools now in Office shall
continue to act as school inspector and
as chairman of the board of school in
spectors until that time. Further, rs
the county board Of school examiners
cannot he elected and qualified until
the I'd of August and will not be organ
lied until the 23d of August, it is also
provided that the township superin-
tendent of schools, as chairman Of the
township boards of school inspectors,

their respective townships until the
county school examiners are duly elect
ed and qualified, but no certificate
hereafter granted by a chairman of a
township board Of school inspectors,
shall be valid beyond three months
after the board of school examiners hay
been duly elected, and qualified, organic
ed in the county"
The new law requires the township
superintendent, rs chairman Of the
board of school inspectors, to meet with
the other chairmen Of the board Of
school inspectors of the county at the
office of the county clerk on the first
Tuesday of August aug p, to elect
three school examiners for the county,
one of whom shall hold office for one
year, one for two years, and one for
three years; and annually thereafter
on the first Tuesday of August the
chairmen of the several boards Of school
inspectors shall meet at the same place
and elect one school examiner who
shall hold his office for three years
These three when qualified and organic
ed as board of school examiners will
have charge of the examining and IL
censing of teachers, and will exercise q
general supervision over the schools Of
the county. The secretary Of his board
is by law made it's executive officer, and
he is the member Of the county board
with whom township officers will have
immediate official communication.

The Comet.

The distinguished astronomer, Prof
/ j. y. Stockwell, of Cleveland, makes
he following statement of his observa
tons Of the comet on the evenings o.
June oath, Goth, and Goth:
| uad the good fortune to get the
observations Of its position with suffi
cicnt precision to enable me to deter.
mine approximately its distance from
the earth and its path through space
The clements Of its orbit derived from
these observations are very similar to
the elements of comet which appear
ed in 1907, and render il somewhat
possible il may be the return of that
comet. We cannot, however, pro-
nouncc with certainty on that point
until observations extending over a
much larger period has been made and
car fully discussed. If we trace the
path of III, comet back to June lst.
wc iud it then right Of ascension of
NIB u. FIVE hours and that It's declina
ton was nearly 10 degrees south. In
this pusition it could be well obtained
in the southern hemisphere and it is
very probably the same comet observed
by DR.. Gould at Cordoba in the Argen-
tine Republic June LIST. Its distance
from the Garth was then 100000 of
miles. From that point it travelled d.
rcctly north and passed little TO the
westward OF the sun. June 18th, at a
distance of 2l.000,000 nsles from the
earth. 1t reached its perihelion June
23d, when il was about 100000 miles
from the sun, aud 23,000000 from the
Garth. June 2Sth il was about 10000
600 Of miles from the earth, and re-
ceding at the rate Of 100000 miles
daily. July 10th it will be within
about 10 degrees of the north star, and
its distance will be more than 50,000,-
600 miles from the earth. The dimen-
>ions Of this comet are very great
The diameter of the bright portion Of
the head cannot be less than 10000
miles, while the nebulosity surround
inc il cannot be less than three times
as great. The length of the tail must
exceed 100000 miles. The comet
has been in our skies during a month
past and it is proper to inquire why it
was not seen before. According to our
computation it came from the southern
hemisphere almost in line with the
sun, so it rose above the horizon in the
east after sunrise and sunk before the
horizon in the west before sunset. 1t
was therefore above our horizon only
by daylight until June Goth, at which
time il was near the sun. 1t was de-
veloped in twilight while near the sun,
but its rapid motion northward carried
it in three days so far from the sun that
it remained above our horizon until the
disappearance of twilight, and in the
meanwhile it had passed through its
perihelion and appeared as fully de-
velopcd comet Of magnificent dimen-
sions, when first discovered in the
northern hemisphere. 1t has been
growing rapidly fainter since it was
first discovered, and it will continue to
do so until its final disappearance. 1t
will probably disappear to the naked
eye within couple of weeks, but it is
probable that it can be followed with
the disappointing anumber of months.
