The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-10-20

SIXTEEN years ago George L. Rey-
nolds, n stock-raiser Mt. Griffith, Tex,
was wounded in "a skirmish with In
dams, an arrow entering the abdomen
and passing through the abdominal cav
ity. Such wound is almost invariably
fatal; but he pulled the shaft of the
arrow out, and, although the head broke
off and remained in the body, he aston
ished everybody by recovering within
ten days. A few days ago he felt pain
in the back. near the spine, and a surgi-
cal operation brought to the surface the
steel arrow head that had taken sixteen
years to work its way through his body.

THE following curious observations of
sound have, it is stated, been carefully
verified by an extended series of expert
ments: The whistle of n locomotive is
heard $500 yards; the noise of a rail
road train, $500; the report of mus
ket and the bark of a dog, 1900; an or
chestra or the roll of drum, 1000.
The human voice reaches to a distance
of 200 feet; the croaking of frogs, 900 !;
the chirping of chickens, 500. Distinct
speaking is heard in the air from below
up to a distance of 600 yards; from
above it is only understood TO range
of 100 Yards downward. 1t has been
ascertained that an echo is well reflect
ed from the surface of smooth water
only when the voice comes from an ele-
walton. Other similar phenomena con-
nected with the transmission OF sound
have been observed, but the results
disagree, either from inaccuracy in the
observations or from the varying nature
of the circumstances affecting the num-
bers obtained. Such variations occur
to an extent of 10 to 20 per cent, and
even more. The weather being cold
and dry, or warm and wet, are the chief
influencing causes. In the first case the
sound goes to greater and in the Sec
ond to lesser distance.

points out, be carefully packed in am

THE art of shorthand is, it appears,
to be superseded by one of the queerest
inventions on record. The revolution
is to be effected by means of machine
called "glossograph,' consisting of six
levers, forming a sort of cage, each COM
municating with tracing pencil. The
use to be made of the "glossograph" is
rather curious. While the orator or
lecturer holds forth, the reporter is to
repeat the words of the speaker with his
tongue in the cage. Thus the quickest
conversation, some London journals tell
us, may be taken down with ease. The
ludicrous aspect which this new inven-
tion assumes may be an obstacle to its
adoption.

"That's very pretty, modest appear
ing young lady," said stranger, seated
in front of hotel, to young male citi-
zen with whom he had become on speak
ing terms, as he pointed, with his cigar
to bright little woman, one of three
who were passing.
LADY, hal hal" said the local male
young person, as he laughed sneeringly,
and fumbled the watch chain that hung
from the outside pocket of his coat, and
run the handle of cane in his great
mouth. "That is only clerk in Q
store"
There was a look of honest indigna-
ton on the face of the travelling man, as
he gave one glance toward the grinning
young male person who had made the
remark, blush of shame, if ever one
was seen, and he threw his cigar away,
said, as that SOP" and walked into the
house. Two other men were also in
dignant enough TO have kicked the fill
ing out of the teeth of the young male
person, but he soon got up and steered
for poker room where he is engaged
regularly in blowing in what money he
has got, so they did not kick him. Be-
sides, he might have kicked back, and
that would have created row.
"Only store clerk"
That girl, and hundreds like her, have
got more knowledge of business, more
honesty, and more heart in them than
that young male person ever had or
honest living, at respectable employ
ment, and they are worth their weight
in gold, while the miserable person
who made the remark is not worthy to
lace the shoes Of the store clerk. They
want to help themself, and the store
counter is most inviting place, and
we wish to heaven some of the young
men who despise them could be bounc-
ed and sent west to till the soil, and
their places given to other girls who de-
sire employment. The men who look
down upon girls who earn their living
in stores are very few, and they will
see the day they will regret it. Some
of the best wives and mothers in this
country have been behind the counters
in stores, and been respected while they
labored, by other very good people.
Some of the girls may be full of fun, as
the old Nick, and when a married man
whom they know is modest calls for
hair pins, they may-we don't say they
do-they may make mistake and hand
him these safety pins, just to see him
blush, but it is an error of the head
rather than of the heart. There may
be one in hundred that is too smart,
and owns the earth, but as class they
average very well with the rest of the
world, and a man who makes sighting
remarks about them has got no heart,
or else he does not know how diligent-
ly they work for what money they get.
and how weary they are at times, and
how discouraged. An Indignation meet
ing of men who have daughters, sisters
or friends clerking in stores, to punish
poor idiot who speaks disrespectfully
of them, would call crowd of decent
people that would fill the exposition
building. Their hard work, frugal
living, and helpfulness against many
discouragements should secure for
them the warmest place in the hearts of
all, instead of a single sheer, and the
next man that sneers at them gets a
head put on him bigger than premium
squash.-Peck's Sun.

for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882,
indicates that, notwithstanding all the

in the shape of printed notices on the

there is a steady increase in the num-

A SHERIFF was sued bv n iudomer

A SHERIFF was sued by judgment
creditor for negligence in failing to
make levy under the execution on
goods which were pointed out to him as
the property of the debtor. In the ac-
ton, Crosby VS.. Hungerford. he gave
evidence, against the plaintiffs objec-
ton, 20 show that the property desig-
mated was the property of third per-
son, and Judgment was recorded in his
favor. The plaintiff appealed, and the
Supreme Court of Iowa in June affirm
ed the Judgment. Judge Adams, in
the opinion, said: "When an officer
has levied an execution, and has been
unidentified, it is his duty to hold the
property and subject it to his execu-
ton, and if he releases it he can
not he allowed to escape liability by
showing that the property did not be-
long to the execution debtor. But that
reasoning is not applicable to the case
at bar, for the Sheriff was not protect
ed 10y bond of indemnity. 1t is abund-
antly evident that if Van Sickle had no
interest in the property in question, the
plaintiff sustained no injury by the
Sheriff's failure to levy, and we think it
was allowable for the defendant to
show that Van Sickle had no interest"

SISTER STow, the President Of the So

announces that on JAN | she will put off
petticoats and put on pantaloons. She
has told the Chief of Police of this in
tention, and the hard-hearted wretch in
Inmates that he will run her in on sight.
Sister Stow appears to have consider
able confidence in her underpinning, for
she says: "My trousers are made with
a plat, and descend just to the line of
beauty in the calf of the leg, just where
the dresses of young girls come; and, if
young girls wear their dresses there,
why should not old girls adopt the same
fashion ?"
