Exchange.
The train sped over the track at the rate
Of forty miles an hour, but somehow each
hour had sixty minutes in 1t, Just as usual,
and the timehung heavy on his soul, he
was Harvard student bound for Boston
on the Old Colony Railroad. Presently,
at one Of the way stations, q pretty young
lady entered the car and sat down near the
delighted student. Instantly hewas wide
awake, and devoted all his energies to en-.
gaging the admiring attention Of the fair
one. First he pushed the blind up and
down noiselessly in order to attract her At
tention. Thinkingh he had secured this, be
opened morning paper, and. reclining
gracefully, pretended to read. In reality
he stared steadily at his charmer, and
whenever she CHANGED to raise her eyes
she found the student looking at her:
Their eyes met; he poured his whole soul
into one bewildering, captivating glance;
she blushed slightly and turned neryously
In her seat, but in that delicious instant
when he gazed into the limpid depth OF her
blue eve be fancied he saw there the re-
ciprocatiou OF his own interest. With in.
creasing confidence his attitude became
more imposing and beautiful, and when
the train reached Boston he considered his
conquest assured. But In the meantime
the whole carfull had Caught on" to the
students scheme, and one Of the passen:
gers who knew the young lady passed
around the word that fun was coming. 30
when the party stepped on the platform
the student proceeded in the presence OF a
large and interesting audience. Stepping
elegantly up to the pretty girl, he said
briskly:
al beg your pardon, butI am. sure We
have met before. Did / not have the
pleasure OF meeting you at Judge Smiths
reception last week? May I assist you
with the bundle? Fine day, is 1t not?"
But the maiden walked demurely on,
never 80 much as blushing or turning her
head. Taken somewhat by surprise, the
would.be masher hesitated, stammered,
but continued: "Ithought possibly you
might remember my face; lam sure have
seen you before. We had very enjoy.
able time at the ball last eve, didn't we |"
As the same result was experienced from
this attempt, he boldly stepped in front Of
her and, raising his hat, began: 81 beg
YOUR pardon, Miss" - but he stopped
suddenly; she was looking pityingly az
him, and making signs to him in the deaf
and dumb alphabet.
"Oh, holy cuspidor, Il that isn't another
piece Of Harvard luckm he gasped, and
bolted for horse-car. The story leaked
out, and now you can tell that student by
the appearance o. suppressed profanity
that steals over his face when any one
happens to twist his fingers or move his
hand in an unusual way.

The Dress In court.

london Lhter.
A case came before the Brighton County
Court Judge Oct. 90 which caused much
amusement, and in which dressmaker
sought 10 recover l3s for work done for a
lady named Taylor. The defendant re-
fused to pay, because the plaintiff had
spoiled her dress. Plaintiff, in aa indig-
nant tone, said: ~ did make the dress
properly; but the lady has no natural fig
ure whatever. She said she was suffering
with her liver, and could not be squeezed,
and how could / make her look like a
Venus when II was all wadding?"
Defendant did not want you to
make IL tight; l like my dresses
loose. plaintiff-You should say how very
deformed your arms are. Defendant lex
citedly)-fam not deiormed. lam bet
ter figure than you; l have no deformity.
NY husband Is in court; ask him. Plain.
tii-Wil you allow me TO try the dress on
in court? DISADVANTAGES; before oil the
gentlemen. His Honor-You must put
the dress on, and / must see 1t.
The parties then retired into the solicit
tors robing.room, and after the plaintiff
had put on the dress his Honor was in
formed bya Bailiff that she refused to
come into court. His Honor accordingly
entered the robing.room, and on his return
into court he said the work was very indif.
ferentN done. He did not, therefore,
think the plaintiff had earned the money
claimed, and the verdict would be for the
defendant.

In a few weeks all the spawn at the
fish hatchery in this city will be hatch
ed, and the gentleman in charge will
then have some 100000 of boarders
to feed. AT present some of the fish
are Matched, but it would take about
395, 749! Of them to make a good
meal. The head and eyes are the
largest part, and each one carries on
his back his grub sack from which
they draw their substance for some
time after Matching. When their grub
pile is exhausted, they will have to
be fed. Some fears are entertained
that the fish will be all Matched before
navigations is open, as there is not
tank room for the fish when all are
Matched. AS soon as the ice will per-
nit large amount of the fish will
be planted at various points in Thun-
der Bay, and the balance are to be
planted at other localities. When
the fish for Thunder bay are planted,
there will be tank room sufficient for
those intended for other places.

History of the Lake Huron Shore.

The publishing firm of III. r. Page
& Co, Chicago, have undertaken the
enterprise of publishing an important
work entitled, can Illustrated Histo-
ry of the Lake Huron Shore" includ-
ing the counties of Bay, Iosco, Alco-
ma and Alpena. The work will be
published in one large and elegantly
bound volume, and will be ready for

terest in the success Of the enterprise.
Gentlemen engaged upon this work
have been in Au Sable and Oscoda

now gone to Huntsville and Alpena.
Later in the spring the historian will
return to complete the general history,
and will be accompanied by the COM
pany's artist, who makes the sketches
with which the work will be illustrat-
ed. The gentlemen who were here
speak in the highest terms of the
friendly courtesy manifested toward
them and their work by our citizens.

above referred to arc now in this city,
collecting information, ETC., regarding
this county, and we trust our citizens
will give them all the aid possible in
the prosecution of their work. We
have been shown work of the same
style and nature regarding other Sec
tons of the State, and can truly say
that the forthcoming work promises
to be of untold value and interest to
every resident on the shore.
