THE oLD.FAsHIoNED EDITOR.

We were grieved to hear the other
day of the death of one of Michigan's
iolliest pioneer editors-almost the
last man of the band who published
weeklies in the State when a coon
skin would pay for a column "ad.
and three bushels of corn dumped on
the Office floor stood for years sub
scription. Never a publisher was
more liberal with his space. It was
hard work for him to charge for any
thing except the tax list and mort
gage sales, and he measured short
even on them. One day in the years
gone by this paper copied an attack
on a county official, and old Marx
was DOING at his desk when the in
jured party stalked in and began:
"You are coward, sir-a--cow-
ardw
"Mebbe I am,' was the editors
complacent reply.
"And 1 can lick you, sir--lick you
out of your wrinkled old bootsV
II guess you could" answered
Mark as he busted the wrapper OF
his only exchange.
."I am going to write an article
calling you a fool, liar, coward, cur,
slanderer and body -snatcher, and
will 60 over to Ionia and pay cents
line to have it publishedp
"HeyT queried the old man as he
wheeled around.
"Yes, I'll pay s cents line to have
IL published"
"Say, let me tell you something,
replied Mark. I've got 200 more cir
culation than the Banner, and I'll
publish your attack on me for 2 cents
line and take it out in mill feed OF
corn stalks! Don't trot over to Ionic
when you can help build up your
town.
Mark would have published il
word for word, just as he said, and
thrown in cut of horse or stump
puller free gratis, but the official
cooled off, Exchange.

THIRSTY PEOPLE.

| People who suffer from thirst are
often in great agony. There appears
to be no limit to their efforts to quench
thirst while thus suffering. Others
have an appetite for drink, and to
satisfy the appetite resort to all man
ner of means. Soldiers on the march,
under broiling sun and over a dusty
road, suffer more, probably, than any
other class. In our own city. on gala
days during the heated term, how re-
freshing is glass of lemonade to the
sweltering soldier or ordinary pedes-
trian7 On the march, in active SER
vice, we have seen the soldier stop by
the roadside and moisten his parched
lips and throat from Shiny pool of
water which was almost unfit for
beasts. We have seen gallant lives
sacrificed dsring the late war in
efforts to quench.the thirst of pickets.
The springs were in range of the rifles
of the rebel sharpshooters, and the
soldier who escaped with his we'll
filled canteen was most fortunate.
Not long since novel cane was in
use among attendants at places of
public amusement, from the side of
which the holder could secure drink
for himself or friends at any time
during the performance.
On one occasion we remember OF
a party who was hemmed in in the
gallery of the theater, and could not
get out for a drink. He saw friend
in the orchestra whom he begged to
relieve his thirst. The friend was
willing, but was at a loss to know how
to get up. The man in the gallery
was not at loss for means under
such trying circumstances, and
promptly met the emergency. He
asked the crowd if any one had
string in their pocket. A youth, who
had been out fishing during the day,
produced his line. The man in the
orchestra as notified, and soon there
after a bottle was seen whirling
around as it gracefully passed up
ward in front of those in The family
circle. The man in the gallery had
racket all to himself during tie bal
ance of the night.
But there are other methods even
more ingenious than this TO crafty
the appetite and guard against thirst
The most novel device we have yet
seen is the cpera-glass whisky flask.
In its use no one would believe it
else than an opera-glass, yet it holds
good half-pint of whisky. For use
in crowded audience it is a very
handy thing to have, as the holders
are not obliged to go outside for
drink between the acts. 1t can be
used as an opera-glass with or with
out taking drink. If you want to
take drink there is spring that
you touch with your finger, wheu a
silver tube drops into the mouth and
the whisky flows eaaily. 1t works
best when the glass is pointed up at
the gallery.

THE DIGESTION OF AN OSTRICH.

It has commonly been made to
appear that ostriches are so stupid or
20 greedy as to be totally indiscrim-
mate in the matter of food; but this
is a mistake When two kinds OF
food are placed before them they
will prefer the one, and are notably
fond Of certain kinds, such as meal
les and prickly pears. Many Of them
even show delicate choice. But a
hungry bird will eat almost anything
His system requires food in large
quantity, but he always prefers the
suitable kinds. It is fact, however,
that the ostrich often dies a victim of
over-indulgence. On the farms birds
also die by the score from apoplexy,
brought on by their keepers stuffing
them constantly with all they can eat.
An incredible number of pebbles are
sometimes found in an ostrich's stom-
ach. where they serve the same pur-
pose, in triturating the food, as sand
in pigeons gizzard. Mr.. Tillbrook,
a farmer of the Grand Reinet district,
once found a carcass, the gizzard OF
which contained some $50 stones of
seizes varying from that Of pea to
that of walnut. Most of them were
bright and hard, and all more or less
rounded by constant rubbing. We
may see the reason of that instinct
which prompts an ostrich to stretch
over the fence and pick off a gold
stud or a diamond pin from the breast
Of the unsuspecting visitor, or, in de.
fault of jewel so attractive, to at
tempt to pull button off his coat.

in Sunday school. and pet wherever
he was known, when pa interrupted
me and said, Doctor please take
that carving knife off my stomach, for
it makes me nervous. AS for that boy
of mine, he is the condemndist little
whelp in this town, and isn't no
pet anywhere. Now, you let up on
this dissectin' business, and l will
make it all right with your We held
another consultation and then / told
pa that we did not feel that it was
doing justice to society to give up the
body of a notorious drunkard, after
we had paid twenty dollars for the
corpse. If there was any hope that
he would reform and try and lead a
different life, it would be different,
and 1 said to the boys, Gentlemen,
we must do onr duty. Doc, you dis
member that leg, and I will attend to
the stomach and the upper part of
the body. He will be dead before we
are done with him. We must remem-
ber that society has some claims on
us, and not let our better natures be
worked upon by the post mortem
promises of a dead drunkard. Then
/ took my icicle and began fumbling
around the abdomen portion of pas
remains, and my chum took a rough
piece of ice and began to saw his leg
off, while the other boy took hold of
the leg and said he would catch it
when it dropped off. Well, pa kicked
like a steer. He said he wanted to
make one more appeal to us, and we
acted sort of impatient but we let up
to hear what he had to say. He said
if we would turn him loose he would
give US ten dollars more than we paid
for the body, and that he would never
drink another drop as long as he
lived. Then we whispered some more
and then told him we thought favor
ably Of his last proposition, but he
must swear, with his hand on the leg
of corpse we were then dissecting
that he would never drink again. and
then he must be blindfolded and be
conducted several blocks away from
the dissecting room, before we could
turn HIM loose. He said that was all
right, and so we blindfolded him, and
made him take a bloody oath, with
his hand on n piece of ice that we
told him was piece of another
corpse, and then we took him out Of
the house and walked him around the
block four times. and left him on a
corner, after he had promised to send
the money to an address l gave him.
We told him to stand still five minutes
after we left him, then remove the
blindfold, and go home. We watched
him, from behind board fence, and
he took off the handkerchief, looked
at the name ON street lamp, and
found he was not far from home. He
started off saying: That's pretty
narrow escape, old man. No more
whisky for you l did not see him
again until this morning, and when l
asked him where he was last night he
shuddered and said none your darn
business. But never drink any more,
you remember that Ma was tickled
and she told me / was worth my
weight in gold. Well, good day.
That cheese is musty." And the boy
went and caught on q passing sleigh.

CRIME IN THE PAPAL CoURT.-1f we
are to believe the writer who signs
himself ARGUS" in the Paris Vol
taire, the Papal court Of to-day is
little better than it was in the days OF
the Borgias. This informant tells
us that Cardinal Franchi, first secre-
tary Of Pope Leo XIII, was poisoned
on account of his Liberal views, by
the Ultramontane party. HE had
managed" the writer continues, ito
acquire a certain influence over the
.disagreeable character of the Pope.
But his Liberal politics, which he did
not take pains enough to conceal,
gave umbrage to the irreconcilable
Ultramontanes. On the 31st OF July,
after saying his mass, the Cardinal
swallowed a cup Of chocolate brought
to him in the sacristy. He was full
of life and health; few hours after
ward he was dead. Leo
XIII has but one devoted friend-his
brother, Cardinal Pecci; holy man,
if there ever was one. The Pope is
too much of an Italian not to know
that there are various ways OF being
poisoned; 80 he takes the greatest
precautions. Cardinal Pecci car
ries his fraternal devotion so far as
to taste Of all the food brought for
the repasts of his Holiness, and the
latter never touches it till he knows
that his brother has sustained no i'll
effects from his share" "Strange,
adds ARGUS" '.as these details may
appear, they ale of the most rigorous
exactitude."

The KILL OF A BUFFALo.-The kill
of buffalo last winter was estimated
at $4,000, which, from the report OF
hides shipped, is probably very close
to the mark. The kill of this winter
promises to fall long way short OF
last. A dealer who has buyer IN
the field, reports that he has SO far
secured but 900 hides. The amount
of the matter is that the buffalo are
rapidly becoming extinct, and unless
the attempt to domesticate the ami
NAL succeeds, the noblest American
game will pass into history before
the next census is taken. The herds
what there are OF them, are mostly
between the Black Hills and Glen
dive, on the Yellowstone, their last
winters feeding ground.

Statistics have been made proving
that one-sixth of the regular army OF
this country has deserted and the
places of the men filed with raw re-
cruits, during the past year. The
soldiers get so lonesome, with one
stationed at each fort in the country,
that it is nothing more than should
be expected that occasionally some Of
them would get restless and home
sick and wander away and not come
back. Someone should be sent out
to amuse the regular army, SO it
won't get sick of staying alone.

debt of $3.50, and immediately offered
him for sale. A customer was soon
found. and Mr.. Mills took him out in
the Central Park behind the horse.
Uncle Joel descanted voIubly on tho
morris of the steed, and finally as he
turned round to 60 home, said:
"Well, I don't know but I'll withdraw
my offer to sell this horse and keep him
for my own use."
His companion protested against this,
said he liked tbs horse, and was pre-
pared to make bid for him.

then said: IN take $1,000 for that
horse, and not ono cent less. He's the
