A Gem.

. Yesterday copy of neat little vol
ume of poems, entitled my Own Song
Book" by DR.. P. Johnson, was laid upon
our table. The book contains a number
of beautiful little bursts of poesy, full of
bright, golden thoughts and sweet and
tender pathos, which denotes depth
of soul and mind absolutely necessary
to the true poet. The masterpiece of
the many exquisite sonnets is entitled
"a Barbecue" local song, full of happy
hits and original rhyme, and is destined
to be copied, and probably printed in
many languages. "My Own Song
Book" will undoubtedly have a large
sale. eowtf

How a Woman Keeps Accounts.

1t is a touching sight TO see wo-
man begin TO make up her expenses,
having firmly resolved to put down
every cent she spends, so AS TO find out
how to ecOnomiZe, and where all the
money goes. Procuring small book.
she makes due entry, and on the
Monday after the first Saturday in
which her husband brings home his
pay, she rarefully tears the margin off
a newspaper and, with blunt pencil,
strikes tIial balance something in this
way.
John brought me home S4s 40, and
81 43 had is $40 90, and 81 90 lent
Mrs. Dixon is $50 93-but hold on,
ought not to enter that, because when
she returnns it, it'll go down. That
was $40 90, and what have done with
thatp
Then see puts down the figures, leav-
ing out the items to save time-a pro-
cess which enables her to leave out
most of the items to where round
sum is involved, on the supposition
that they have alreadybeen put down.
AS thus:
Six dollars and fourteen cents for
meat, and 10 cents for celery, and 10
| cents on the street cars, and bad 8
cent piece / got in exchange, and So 81
| paid the milkman-whO owes me 10
cents-that's So, and Is cents at church
and the grocries-they were either $15
60 or SO so, and don't remember
which they were, but guess it must
have been SIS 60, for the grocer said
that if l would give him dime he
| al ..s.y b.lG Inll. xryht oh
would make even change. and L could
MT, because the smallest had was a
quarter-and So Is for mending Katie's
shoes, which IS the last money that
shoemaker ever gets from me, and 10
cents for celery no, put that down.
Finally she sums up her trial-balance
sheet, and finds that it fOOts up $64 %,
which is about Sl5 more than she had
originally. She goes over the list sew
eral times and checks it carefully, but
all the items are correct, and she is just
about in despair when her good angel
hints that there many be a possible
mistake in the addition. Acting upon
the suggestion she fOots up the column
and finds the total is S44 26. and that
according to the principles of the arr
thmetic she ought to have SIS 65. Then
she counts her cash several times, the
result varying from 81 40 up to 81 81
but then she happily discovers that
she has been mistaking So gold piece
for cent, and remembers that she
gave the baby a trade dollar to cut its
gums with. On the whole, she has
come within SO cents of q balance, and
that, she says, is close enough, and she
enters in one line of the account book !:
"Dr - by household expenses" so
much, and is very happy till she re-
members, just before going to bed, that
she has omitted S2.75 for her husbands
hat.

overwhelming, that 1t disposes Of Foster in
politics. 1t assumes that the campaign was
dishonest on the part of Republicans because,
AZ 1t alleges, they talked one way on the liquor
question In the country and another In the
cities. 1t adds, the result is significant beyond
local question, that the Democrats after being
cheated out of the presidency In 1875 came
near. eecting their man In 1880, and that this
and probable similar votes In New York and
Pennsylvania are prophetic of Democratic vic
tory in the next presidential campaign. The
New York Stats Zeitung credits the Germans

Of the Republican party and says: The iemo-
cratic victory in Ohio is possibly the most ST.

ELECTION IN WEST VIRGINIA.
One West Virginia district elected
GoG, Republican, to congress by from 800 to
500 majority. The same counties in 1880 gave
Hancock for President 1,484 majority. This Is
a Republican gain Of probably 1000. The
tariff was one Of the principal issues, although
both candidates were committed to a protec-
tive policy. The vacillation of the Democratic
party on the tariff question weakened the
DsmScrat candidate. The principal reason OF
the Republican victory was the popularity Of
Gen. Golf, who is man of superior qualities
| for the position, The temperance question
lightly entered into the campaign, but neither
of the candidates was committed TO it. The
Democratic candidate was cut by the temper
ance men because OF having taken an active
part before the legislature last winter In de-
feating the submission OF a prohibition amend
ment to q vote of the people. The Democrats

Something to be Thanked For.

Dickens used to maintain that what
ever trials or difficulties might over
take a man there was always some-
thing to be thankful for, "in proof
whereof he would say, "let me relate

Newgate for murder. The morning
arrived; the ropes were adjusted
around the poor mems necks; there
were thousands of motley sight-seekers
Of all ages, men, women and children,
in front of the scaffold, when bull
which was being driven to Smithfield
broke its rope, and charged the mob
right and left, scattering people every
where with its horns. Whereupon

his equally unfortunate companion and

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
A Farmer Shoots His Wife and Son
IN a Quarrel About a Load of
Oats,

PORT SANILAC, October 12.-Word
comes to this place that Robert David
son living three miles north of Deck
ervilie, attempted to kill his wife,
daughter and son. During oat harvest
the oldest son did the overseeing around
the farm. and the old lady helped get
the oats into the barn. One load was
lett in the afternoon, as the old lady
wanted to go berrying and the son said
she might. She went, and Davidson
was mad, and has been raising rum
pus ever since. The day of the crime
he went to Deckerville and got partial
ly intoxicated; went home and went to
sleep; got up feeling better, took a pail
and went after water; came in and
shot his wife twice, once in the should
er blade and once in the head
The girl ran and Davidson fired, but
missed. Davidson then went out in
the field where his youngest son was
blowing and said: Pretty hard work 2"
The sou said Eyes" and passed on.
The old man stepped behind and put a
revolver to the head of his son and
pulled the trigger. The pistol snapped
and the boy grabbed him. In the
tussie the old man fired again, shoot
ing the boy in The head, but only max.
ing a flesh wound. Then Davidson
took TO the woods. Over 100 men
were out after him the same night.
T doctors probed for the ball in Mrs.
Davidson and found it in her breast
and cut it out. She will probably die.
The. son is not hurt much. David
son is a peaceable man, but addicted to
liquor. He had decided the farm to the
oldest son, being jealous of the rest of
the family. This was the probable
cause of hi, crime.

MASKED ROBBERS.

Operations Near Big Beaver, Mich.
BIRMINGHAM, Mich, Oct. 7.-Benja-
min Sturgis, farmer over 20 years of
age, who lives half mile from the
village of Big Beaver, in this (Oakland)
county, WAS awakened at II O'clock
last night by hearing a slight noise in
his bedroom, and almost at the same
Instant was seized at the throat by one
of three masked men present and de-
mand made for his money. His strug-
giles TO free himself aroused the hired
girl, sleeping in an adjoining room,
and also Mrs. SSurgis, who is con-
firmed invalid, when the attention
of the other two maskers was directed
toward them and they were pulled
out of their beds and tied to post of
the bedsted, with the admonition that
if any screaming was done they would
be summarily dealt with. A demand
was made again upon Mr.. Sturgis for
his money, and again refusing he was
felled on the floor, kicked, and finally
tied up with his wife and hired girl.
The house was then ransacked, and
about $3.50 in money secured. The
burglars then left and went to the
house of neighbor of Sturgis, stole
valuable mare, took whip at another
place, and hitched the mare to Mr..
Sturgis' buggy. and drove off toward
Detroit. Mrs. Sturgis succeeded in re.
leasing herself at a. NJ, and after
freeing the rest of the family an alarm
was given. Mr.. Sturgis is confined to
his bed from the injuries received.
Sheriff Lewis of Pontiac and Deputy
Beatty of Birmingham are in Detroit
looking for the rascals. and several off,
GERS of the Detroit police force have
been detailed to arrest them.
