Troubles in Lake Michigan.


In Grand Traverse Bay recently, at
some distance out in deep water, be-
tween Traverse city and Marion island,
the water began to boil and surge, and
presently rose in vast jets to the height
of from ten to twenty feet. Being OBJ
served from the shore no details could
be given on account of the distance;
but the same thing has taken place
wears before, and some two years ago,
according to an account given by the
Herald at the time, parties in boat
were so nearly on the spot that they
were obliged to hasten out of the way.
They described the water as apparently
boiling up from the very bottom of the
bay, which in that place was nearly or
quite one hundred feet deep, bringing up
with it vast quantities of mud and other
substances and emitting an intensely
unpleasant sulphwous smell. The area
of the eruption, if it may he so called,
was about twenty feet in diameter and
the time about half an hour. At inter-
walls the water would subside into calm
ness and then the commotiOn would be-
gin again. It is said by old settlers that
the same thing has occurred in other
years. Grand TrarerSe Herald.

Disasters TO Steamers.

The Supervising Inspector General of
Steam Vessels reports that during the
fiscal year ended jane 80, 1888, the total
number Of e.ooide,st is roe,Iltings III loss, os
life was "a, or 7 less than in 1882. OF
these u were from explosions, from
fire, II from collisions, and 6 from snags,
wrecks and sinking. The total number
of lives lost by accidents from various
causes during the year was 284, or 70
more than in 1882. OF these SO were
due to explosions or the accidental es-
cape of steam, 50 to collisions, As to fires,
so to wrecks, 33 to accidental drowning,
and 5 to other causes. The main IN
crease in the loss of life occurred In ac-
cidents caused by collisions, As lives be-
ing lost in excess of 1882. The next
greatest increase was by shipwreck, the
loss being A more than III the previous
wear. The increase by explosions was
18. The loss of life by fires, accidental
drowning and other causes was less than
during the previous year.
The most serious single accident Of
the year was caused by the collision of
the steamers Sciota and John Lomas,
which occurred on the Ohio river, near
Mingo Junction, on July 4, and resulted
in the loss of So lives. A sad reflection
in connection with the loss of life on the
Sciota is the fact that, Notwithstanding
the sinking of that vessel, very few lives
need necessarily have been lost, as the
saloon deck of the steamer, where most
of the passengers were, was only sub
merged to a depth probably not exceed
ing 2E feet, while the hurricane deck
was from four to five feet above the
waters edge. The great loss incurred
must, therefore, be attributed to fright
and panic, natural in such accidents,
and causing passengers to throw them
selves overheard.

The Women of the South.

1t was the Southern women more than
the provost marshals who checked de-
sertion and make the offence odious.
The Confederate who left the front
without leave found no welcome outside
of his own family. He who come home
by authority, and with a wound to at
test his bravery in action, was a hero
until duty compelled his return.
No man ever saw a night so wild that
a Southern woman would not face it to
carry news to Confederate soldiers.
Every woman was a scout and a spy. If
the mother could not go the daughter
was sent. If there was no daughter a
dispatch or message was hurried OFF by a
negro or a signal was made. They came
to accurately estimate the strength OF
marching columns, to identify one make
of gun from another in the batteries,
and where scouts and spies could not 90

who saved Mosby again and again. 1t
was a woman who told General Jackson
the exact strength of the Federal force
at Front Royal before he fell upon it in
carrying out his valley campaign. 1t
was a woman who told Early just how
Sheridan's army was distributed at Cedar
Creek, and there was scarcely battle on
Virginia's soil with which women had
not something to do as the bearers of
information. Once enlisted in the cause
they did not know what despair was.
They sent their bedding to the hospitals,
their provisions to the army, and their
jewelry to buyer of Confederate arms
in Europe. When the Confederate
Government could not furnish rations
the Confederate women did.
I have asked hundreds of Confederate
soldiers how they made start after the
war, and in nearly every instance the
answer began with:

His wife had been the power to brace
him up for the new start in life. The
home was in ashes, the farm grown up
to briers and the country Overrun with
outlaws, but the WlfeS WORDS OF nope

soldier to work. With any other class
of women the South would have built
up by the inch instead Of the foot. As
they were enthusiasts in war, so also are
they heroines in peace. In the real
Southern wOman's heart there Is no
hatred of Northerns. There is not even
distrust or suspicion. In her parlor
may hang portraits through which
Sheridan's men thrust bayonets, but her
pleasantest letters are mailed to and re-
ceived from friends in the North. The
war as war is buried and forgotten, or

the surface there is no heartburning for

"ONLY A SISTER TO HIM."

He lifted his face in the starlight dim,
And all that he saw was round, dull sky;
And the stars that twinkled looked to him
Like the phosphor CLEANS of the freely,
The new moon hung in an awkward shape
And was crooked and bent like the horn of a
ram;
The sombre naples seemed hung with Grape
And the garden gate banged to with slam.
The brook oozed over the Shiny stones
From stagnant pools in the meadow marsh;
Or 1t crooned along with plaintive means,
And the song of the whip-poor-win was
harsh.
He jabbed his ribs on the clumsy stile,
For dark as pitch was the dusky lane;
And his thin lips curved in bitter smile,
As e,smote the weeds with spitefuI cane.
Rough and ugly and long was the way,
The skies were dull and the earth was cold;
He hated the night and he dreaded the day.
And his heart seemed a hundred centuries
old.
With the dirge of his sighs he timed his tread
AS one who pondereth bitter things;
But he only whispered, with dropping head,
And heart that Kicked by
iings.'' ROBERT J. BURDETTE.

A Long March.

When the clerks employed in the Pen
sion Bureau at Washington went to
their work on a recent morning, they
found on the steps a man, his wife, and
their three children. Parents and chill
dren were in rags and covered with dust.
The man said that he had been private
in the First Infantry, stationed at Fort
Scott: that he was discharged some two
years ago and had filed n claim for
pension, but was not satisfied with the
proceedings of his lawyer; and that he,
with his wife and children, had come on
foot from the Black Hills in the hope OF
getting the money which he believed
was due him. The Acting Commissioner
promised to learn as quickly as possible
whether the man was entitled to a pen
sion. He said that he had known OF
men walking from places in Oregon and
other points rs remote, to learn that they
had been deceived and that they had no
lust claims against the Government.

Cheaper Letter Postage.

A New York exchange gives the fol-
lowing respecting the new ''postal
notes" and the reduction in letter pos
tage:
After October LIST, 1883, letter postage
in this country will be only two cents
for each half ounce. There is also a
reduction in the charge for postal money
orders, by which the charge on orders
under SO is eight cents; above $40 the
old rates are maintained.
The old law allows the issue OF no
money order for more than $50, addition
al orders being required for greater
SIMS. The limit is raised to 800, and
the charge for one hundred dollar Or
der is forty-five cents.
A very convenient device for mail re-
mittauces of small sums of money has
been provided by law authorizing the
issue of three cent postal notes. The
notes are in effect certificates of deposit,
and may pass from hand to hand like
notes or checks.
The notes will resemble a national
hank note. In the centre of the face
appears the name of the issuing office
and of the office to which it Is sent.
The names of the twelve months and the
dates of twelve years, from 1888 to 1894,
are printed at one end, and ut the Other
columns of figures representing dollars,
dimes. and cents. The notes are to be
issued for all sums under 50.
The charge is three cents for all de.
nominations. The applicant buys the
notes as he would postage stamps. The
postmaster punches the date by yeal
and month, and also punches the figures
indicating its value in dollars, dimes
and cents, up to $4.99.
The three cent postal note is made
pavable to the bearer any time within
fhree months from the last day of th
month from Its issue, and the signature
of the pavee is affixed at the office o
payment.
The notes will be ready for issue a'
soon as they can be prepared. The
will be extremely convenient Tor tn
transmission by mail of small sums fo
subscription to newspapers, for books an
ALI articles of less value than $5.
Newspaper publishers will derive gret
practical benefit from this new systel
of cheap money orders. The postal not
can scarcely fail to be a popular form
currency.

Too Much.

A railroad conductor bet German OF
Quincy, Ill, that he could not pick up
one hundred eggs laid on the ground a
yard apart inside of thirty-fve minutes.
The eggs were to be picked up and de-
posted in a basket, one at time, and
the basket was to remain stationary at
the spot where the first egg Was placed.
German thought he had an easy walk
over; but the railroad man placed the
eggs in a straight line along the side OF
the depot and the basket at one end, SO
that German had to run up and down
the line with each egg separately. At
the end of twenty minutes he had picked
up only twenty-five of the eggs, and
had to give up the contest. A local
mathematician figured up that it would
take about six miles of travel to pick up
the one hundred eggs.

Nor WANTED. Freeman Salisbury OF
Michigan leased a house to Nicholas
Porter, but discovering some bedbugs
cavorting around on Porter's furniture,
as it was about to be moved, declined to
proceed any further with his contract OF
letting, and locked the house against
Porter. The ground that he assigned
for this proceeding was that the only oc-
cupants of the house contemplated by
him in his agreement were Porter and
the members of his family, and he did
not propose to let any other live stock
enter. Porter sued for damages, and re-
covered verdict for $25 and costs; but
Salisbury has appealed, and proposes to
ltigate as long as his purse will allow.
