Ypsilanti Mich Commercial.

Lately conversing with Mr.. Carl Sieg-
mund, Corner of Congress and Washington
streets, our representative learned the fol.
lowing from that gentleman; My daugh-
ter suffered from Rheumatism to such an
extent that it crippled her, rendering her
unable to walk at all. We consulted many
physicians and used all kinds of medicines,
but in vain. At last, we decided to try the
st. Jacobs Oil and this wonderful remedy
effected the happiest results. 1t cured my
daughter and the little girl is now we'll and
strong.

A Too Sensitive Nature.

There are some mighty sensitive ma
lures in this world There was that
Quebec boy for instance Ferdinand
Pitcher, aged 10 years-who hanged
himself because bis mother asked him
TO set the table for supper. He was
tender plant. aud when his mother said,
Come, Ferdy, put on the cups and
saucers," the cruel words almost
crushed his youthful heart. But he
continued reading The Boy Counter
feiter," in the Boys Own Parayzer"
and had just reached the chapter where
the boy" kills two police officers and
escapes with smile on his face and
pistol in each hand when his mother
again called out; Come, now. Ferdy,
set the table-thats good boy" Then
the boys sensitive nature rebelled, and
he went out and hanged himself.

court at Springfield, on Tuesday, the 2Sth

clerk of the supreme court the following
telegram: "The court has just decided the

POLICE NOTES.

Yesterdays PROCEEDINGS BEFORE MAG
IsTRATE coMINds.
Martha Coleman was guilty of lettering
about the streets and bar-rooms. She was
arrested by Officer Mahanny and fined fifty
dollars and costs.
John Smith was disorderly, arrested by
Officer John Tyler and fined five dollars
and costs.
JUSTICE RoBINsoN's COURT.
Henry Bell was arrested by Marshal
Myers under section forty-two, of article
nine, of the city ordinances, which says
that it shall not be lawful for any person to
act as runner for himself or other person, or
in any manner to solicit or ask the patron
age or custom Of any traveller or other person
Tor any house or hotel, steamboat, railroad,
public conveyance or transportation
company, at any railroad station or depot,
steamboat landing or other place in the
city, other than at the house or hotel,
depot, station or landing, or usual place of
business of the person, persons or company
by whom he shall be employed, unless he
shall first obtain a license for that
purpose as hereinafter provided.
Marshal Myers and Officer Hogan testified
that Bell, being the driver of hack-"a
public conveyance" belonging to Mr.Wm.
Scott, had left his hack and gone to the
Union depot and solicited custom for the
said hack without having first obtained a
license under the section of ordinance
above quoted The defendant was repre-
sentcd by Messrs. Mulkey & Leek, who
presented the testimony of the prisoner and
of Mr.. Scott on their side. This testimony
substantially admitted the principal points
made by the prosecution; but set up the
plea that the Union depot or any public
place was "the usual place Of business of
the person, persons, or company by whom
he (Bell) was employed" and that there
fore the said Bell was not amenable
to the section of ordinance
under which he was arrested.
But it was question of dispute whether or
not, since Scott, the owner of the "public
conveyance" of which the defendant, Bell,
was the driver admitted that he had no
interest in the said Union depot, he could
yet claim it, the said Union depot as his
usual place of business" The prosecu-
ton claimed that it was not his usual place
of business, and therefore the ordinance In
question prohibited his hackman from
soliciting custom for his (S3cott's) "public
conveyance" there. But the defense held
otherwise and was finally sustained by the
court, and Bell was discharged.
The negro, Martin Hamilton, who struck
another negro in the head with club and
robbed him of three dollars on Ohio levee,
a few days ago, was captured by Officer
Mahanny and examined before Justice
Robinson yesterday afternoon. The evil
dence against him was strong and he was
held to bail in the sum OF two hundred
dollars to answer the charge of assault with
intent to kill. He was taken to the
county mil

MRS. JOSEPH W. VENEER ON HER WEDDING
DAY.
fair young bride has gone to-day
Out from her childhood home,
Beside noble bride groom
Life journey just begun
We saw her in the little church,
Where since her childhood days,
We've heard her sweet, young voice
join in the prayers and praise.
With eyes bedimmed with tears. we heard,
Her voice, soft, sweet and low,
When, kneeling at the church there
She breathed her ruptial vow.
ITO love cherish and obey
Falls on eur listening ears,
And TO nobly share his burdens
Through oil the coming yearr.
Oh may he Glove and cherish
This bride with brow 80 fair
Even when the frosty hand of time
Has left it's impress there.
Through, all lifes storms, and sunshine,
May this strong manly arm
Sustain her In all fondness,
And protect her from all harm.
We dare not even hope,sweet bride,
That all your future may
Be as calm and beautiful,
As this still autumn day
But may the lamp of love burn on,
As joyful in Its ray,
Through all your life vcissitudes,
AS on your bridal.
When troubles come and lie assail.
Oh, act a noble part,
Turn your firm face full to the gale
And, keepa courageous heart.
And when the sere and yellow leaf
OF liie's autumn has come,
May you look back on life we'll spent,
With no duties left undone.

PUBLIC PRINTING.

During the past month. the question. Of
printing the code has been before the legis-
lature, and has created considerable feeling
between rival printing houses seeking the
work. Congress has appropriated 5000 ex-
clusively for printing Of the code. and orders
have been given by the department at Wash
ingtou that the work shall be let TO the
lowest bidder Secretary 0wings has adver-
tiscd proposals for it, the bids to be sent to
the department. At first the public printer
supposed he would secure the whole thing -
part of the session printing. and his sates-
lites were rubbing their ribs over the pleas
ant prospects. Bat. AN agent of Mesrs-
Bancroft < CO., of San Francisco, appeared
on the scene for their house, and tight for
the work began. We lad no sympathy for
either p.rty, rs one party acts the swine in
all printing matters in the territory, and the
other in such matters all over the coast. Ii
was simply a matter of pig eat pig, while
the other printers of the territory had TO
stand hack. As it always happens, the little
pig made the biggest sqaeal, but the big pig
vii get away with the dinner. The little
pig wanted the work because there was $4,000
in If. and the possibility of selling . few
extra copies. The big pig wanted it because
they are IN the line Of law books, and could
sell the law firms and law libraries in the
United States 81, 900 worth of this volume,
and then be known as the publishers for
Washington territory. They have done the
same thing m all states and territories on
the coast, and they could not afford TO lose
this one Messrs. Bagley. Owings 4 Co.
are dying hard under the unexpected turn
Of affairs. They have heretofore grabbed
everything of public nature in that line,
and it is hard for them to throw up TO some
one else We should have preferred to have
seen the money given to some printers in the
territory but we could not make fight for
it, when We would have to bolster up such
piratical printers as the ring hrra. Brncroft
h Co had the right to bad, Is il was govern
ment money, and not territorial funds. They
are entitled 10 credit for forcing the work to
public bids, and thus break the blockade
which the ring have always thrown their
organ establishment Hereafter. such mat
t~rs will stand a chance to be better man
aged. and no ring viii bag ali printing per-

in case you don't feel like going to

Resist tie devil and he shall fee
from you"
What devil Devil of temptation
OF appetite? OF incorporate desires
Of desire to wsllow in some forbidden
mire Some devil is it Of besetting sin
which has been curse our life long
How many times are We to resist
How many times to be overcome Vas
ever any weakness cured by single
effort Was ever the unruly temper, the
uncomfortable appetite, the greed OF
covetousness, the imperfection, be it what
it may, handed US down through ances-
tral blood and proclivity, MAS all thus
conquered in single fight
How many times was a brothers sin to
be forgiven Seven Zines seven Isn't
this suggestive of the merciful Christian
principle and idea that TO be overcome by
temptation of any sort is not TO be con-
demned BY our fellows. That every one
who falls should be regarded oaly as one
temporarily overcome IN long and eH-
haustive fight
II is the battle. SCARED veteran IN the
fight against the tendeLci to sin i'm
planted in his nature it is the one who
his or her life long that has waeed the
unseen fight against some internal bitter
foe: it is he or she who may have
hundred, aye, a thousand times been
down in the mire and again arisen from
it, who may best n.erpret the words,
"Resist the devil and he shall flee frcm
you"
For such know that the fight has not
all been In vain. Such know that though
their der,l may not have fed, still his
attacks are not as successful as OF old
that with the ever-present desire to tread
in the right way comes By degrees the
ability tn VI trend ihli it becomes more
and more easy SO TO tread that coming up
higher and higher towards some ideal Of
purity comes also all increasing disgust
for the besetting sin and its results that
though overwhelmed and cast down
through temptation, yet with each fall
comes a firmer self-restraint and more
self-government, and such, when fully
assured after legions Of trials that every
effort lessons temptations, feel a Conf
dence and strength, the sure fore-runner
Of ultimate victory.

Oregon Railway And Navigation.

The directors OF the Oregon RallSas
and Navigation Company have voted to
increase It's capital stock from 10000
shares to $50, 900 shares by issuing GO,OOO
additional shares at par to stock holders
of record, December 2I, 1881. in propor-
ton to their respective holders upon that
day. The subscription books will be
opened December 90, and closed January
). Twenty per cent will be payable Jan
uary 10, 10 per cent Febuary l, and TOPPER
cent. upon the first Of eaca succeeding
month until the full amount is paid.
Stock appertaining to the first two IN
stalIments will be delivered February !,
and will be entitled to ali subsequent divi-
dends. Stock appertnining to the next
three instaIlments will be delivered June
l, and those belonging to the last three
installmenis, September l.
A meeting Of the stockholders to act on
this vote will be held at Portland, Oregon,
December 20.
The increase is demanded by the fact
that the construction expenditures OF the
current year have considerably exceeded
the preliminary estimates OF COST, BY
the necessity for the construction Of near
Iy 100 miles in addition to the mileage IN
cluded in the original construction ap-
preparation. The latter necessity grows
out of the closer relations existing between
