DEMoREsT's MONTHLY MAGAZINE
begins the year brilliantly; the jan
uary number for 1883 being unsur-
passed by any that have proceeded
it. The articles are of unusual inter-
est, especially GLOW we live in New
York." by Jenny June; "Holiday
Gifts and Customs in Paris" Visits,
and manners at the Table," and
"Current Topics" which are full
of valuable information. Most Of
the shorter stories are remarkably
we'll told and "rhe Admiral's Ward"
keeps up its interest. Every depart
ment is carefully filled. The forty
five illustrations are excellent, among
which is splendid oil picture "The
Fisher Boy and the Fisherman
Daughter" No family will regret
subscribing to this admirable maya
zine, as it supplies household want
and is both useful and entertaining.

Editorial Correspondence.
LANSING Jan. 3, 1888,

At the caucus held last evening
for the nomination OF the off.
GERS of the two Houses, the at
tendance in the House was very
large, in the enate il was less. three
Republican Senator'S being absent.
In the House, for few moments
there was a strong scene, growing out
of the presence in the caucus of Hon.
Francis w. Cook, of Muskegon, elect
ed as an Independent, voting on the
question OF the nomination of the
candidate for Speaker. After much
discussion il was decided iha. no
one not elected rs i Republican
should vote. This done, formal
ballot was taken which resulted in
The nomination Of Hon. Sumner
Howard, of Genessee, for Speaker,
which was followed by the unanimous
nomination of Daniel J.. Crossman,
OF Ingham, for Clerk, Will w. Han.
nan, for enrolling and engrosslng
clerk. and William K. Childs, OF
Washtenaw, for Sergeant an-Arms.
All of whom were this afternoon
duly elected and sworn in as officers
OF the House. As whole, they are
able men and will make, as several
OF them have in the past, efficient and
and popular officers. In the Senate,
the old officers were all reelected
except that Walter ]. Hines, of Der.
rien county was elected enrolling and
engrossing clerk in place of Oscar f.
Morse. They are Edwin S. Hoskins,
OF Gratiot, for Secretary and William
Crossett, of Ionia, for Sergeant.at-
Arms.
At the organization, all the Sena.
tors were present except Hon. Fitch
Phelps, of Mecosta, who was de-
tanned by missing connection on
the cars, but reached Lansing in time
for the afternoon session. The SEN
ale was then for few moments very
pleasantly entertained by an inaugu-
raj from Lieut.. Gov. NJ. S. Crosby,
filed with words of wisdom that Sen
ators will do we'll TO heed and which
we know the people of the State will
appreciate.
The pe,soaele CT the Senate is
above the average of past years, and
there are on the roll the names OF
some of the ablest legislators in the
State, notably. Senators Koon, of
Hillsdale, Shoemaker, Of Jackson,
Mercer, of Ontonagan, John Strong,
Of Monroe, and John Greuscl, Of
Wayne. Among the men new to
Legislative work, who beyond all
question, will leave proud record as
Senators, we note the names of Bliss,
of Saginaw, Hine, OF Kent, Duncan,
of Berrieu, and Pennington, of Eaton,
and no doubt others that we do not
know personally. In its officers the
Senate is fortunate in having men of
experience and there can be no
doubt. the business from the start will
be vigorously pushed forward TO
judicious determination.
The organization OF the House
was tremendously perfected, and the
inaugural of Speaker Howard bril-.
liant literary effort, delivered with
great oratorical ability, and received
with evident good will by the audi
ence. ga
We only regret that we cannot at
this time place both this and the In
augural of Lieut.. Gov. Crosby before
the readers of The TIMES, but shall
seeto it that they are printed at an
early date.

NEARLY OVER

The close of the three months school
vacation is at hand and on Monday next
the teachers and scholars will once more
assemble in the houses of learning. Les
sons will be taken up, where they were
dropped last fall, and study will be re-
sumed with renewed vigor. Both teach
ers and scholars will feel like work, and
with the advantage of long rest, and
recreation of mind and body, rapid pro-
gress can be made in the various branches
of learning. Teachers and scholars alike
have enjoyed themselves during their
tlree months freedom from school life
Many have spent most of their time Wis
itng their friends and relatives in other
cities. Some have travelled great dis
tance, and had their store of knowledge
increased by the scenery and surround
ings IN which they were placed. Others
less fortunate, were content with sh0rt
trip TO the country. where they, no doubt
spent as enjoyable time rs those who
passed their time In large cities, where
everything was life and hustle.
Be that as it may. the delightful vaca
ton is now at an end, and all have re
turned home, preparatory TO settling
down to sober study. The ARGUS trusts
that the coming school year will achieve
good results, and that when the term is
at an end, each and every one will fee
that not a minute of the precious time
has been wasted by them.

THE OPERA.
A Large and Refined Audience at Har.
per's Theatre Last Evening.

Linda di Chamouni," Donizetti's ro-
mantle opera, was presented last evening
at Harper's theatre by Miss Emma Alb
bott and her grand English opera compa-
nv. Besides the farfamcd lyric star, the
cast was composed of such artists
as Zelda Sequin, Marie Hindle.
Miss Schuller and Messrs. Fab
rini, Tagliapeitra and Walter Allen. The
opera is divided into three acts, the first
and last being the exterior of the home of
Antonio (Signor P. Tagliapietra) and his
daughter Linda Emma AbbotU. The
second act found Linda in luxurious
apartments in Paris, where she is dis
owned by her father, and believes herself
to be deserted by her lover. In this trying
situation she loses her mind. The
principal gems of the opera were several
solos and duet by Miss Abbott and
Fabrina, duet between Tagliapietra and
Fabrna, and duet between Zelda Sequin
and Miss Abbott. The choruses were
exceptionally fine, and Miss Abbott won
fresh laurels by her superb ard melodious
voice, and she Is certainly phenomena

SHE COULDN'T OMIT THE KISS.
Delay Caused by Good-By Salutation and

Yes, she was very pretty and very

that man ever set eyes on. There was
no doubt at ali about that She liked to
kiss and be kissed too. At least she de-
monstrated the fact to the perfect salts
faction of car full Of people. 1t all
happened in just the easiest way possible
She and her young lady companion took
a seat in the forward part of car on
train that stood in one of the railroad
stations of the hub. The train happened
to be express which run ten miles ont of
the city before stopping, but OF this the
the young lady was most charmingly
Ignorant. She laughed and chatted and
chatted and laughed with her companion
as if there were no such things as express
trains, or at least, that they would stop
at her own sweet will. The warning hell
struck. the engine backed into the depot,
the man with the man with the signs
shouted his monOtOnOus "All aboard "
and the train was off The conductor
quickly put in an appearance, ani was
presented with ticket for town about
mile out of the city.

off he went. AT first there were threatening
of slight April shower. but by the lime
mo Nothing was REACHED the clouds had
vanished and the skies were clear. Only
an instants stop is ever made at this
this station, but the young lady with the
kiSsable mouth seemed 90 be in most
blissful ignorance of this fact. To be sure
she started off all right to alight in good
time, but when she had reached the door
she turned quickly, retraced her steps
and in The most naive manner imaginable
and as if the whole world was at her dis
poSal threw her arms around her com
panions neck and bestowed upon her two
crispy little good-by smacks. Then she
tripped through the door and the train
started The April showers came and
likewise the conductor lie was a chival-

tears. If she had been homcly the result
would un, oubtcdly be indifferent, but as
it was the bell rope was rcsortcd TO and
the train brought 10 standstill. Profusc
in her thanks she alightcd. and then she
started, womanlIkc, she turned and threw
a kiss at her friend, whose anxious face
peered at her through the car window
