during the vacations the town is al
most as dead as door nail. 1t is a
pleasant place, however, to live in.
The houses are generally well built
and comfortable, and are in almost
every case, surrounded with a well
stocked garden and orchard. The
business portion of the town is very
compact and solid, and the business
houses are all built of brick and stone
Ann Arbor being the county seat Of
Washtenaw county, has court house
which IS an excellent one and would
do honor to many city of larger size.
A good postofiice also does honor to
the place. The town possesses sew
eral banks, very few saloons, the usu-
al complement of grocery and dry
goods stores, two hotels, and several
newspapers.

new and interesting things.

Nearly Tied Up.

Among the minor reasons for the en-
actment of the biennial session law, was
the proposed cutting off of the supply of
stationery furnished the members each
year. 1t was argued at the time by the
opponents of the system, that ways
would be found through which members
would be furnished with the needful.
The very first session convened under
the law, when, if ever, its provisions
might be expected to be rigidly en-
forced, shows how true were the proph-
ecies. The stationery has been supplied
just as usual in an%ti-biennial days. In
the Assembly the waters were somewhat
rufiled, through the efforts of a pestifer-
Gus member, who persisted in putting
forward the obnoxious inquiry of under
what authority the supply was dealt out.
Ii seemed for Il time that the disturbing
element was about to put a damper on
the perquisites, and members would be
obliged to invest such sums as were nee
essary out of their h%ard-earned salary,
for stamps, envelopes and paper. Ne
cessity is the mother of invention, and
the old proverb never found a l%ivelier
Interpretation than here. The laws
were ransacked, and it was finally con-
cluded that q certain section of the laws
of 1882, permitted of the deal, providing
the chief clerk was ''willin'". Of
course Carr had no objections, TIE
stumbling-block was removed, supplies
flowed freely, and members breathed
easier over the obliterating of the
dreaded danger.

New DEVELOPMENTS.

Another chapter in the Newhall House
lire has been opened up in the arrest of
George Shelter, the proprietor of the
saloon on the first floor, charged with
firing the building. From the most
trustworthy accounts thus far received
there is much reason to believe that the
disaster was the work of an incendiary
The circumstantial evidence obtained
makes a strong case against Shelter. 1t
IS but justice however to give him the
benefit of the doubt until the awful
crime is fairly proven. Should he be
innocent too much could not be done to
repair the injury caused by the mere
suspicion. On the other hand should
the evidence prove him guilty of the
damning crime that hurled nearly q
hundred victims through the gateway of
torture into another world, burning at
at the stake would be altogether too
merciful.

A Contested Seat.

The lower house of the legislature is
likely to have a lively time before it, in
the shape of a contested seat that comes
up from Door county. There was no
Democratic organization in that county,
but a Legislative aspirant started out to
try his luck on the peoples ticket
The catching nature of the headlines
brought him within a very few votes of
success. The Democracy, having con-
troll Of the lower house, the alleged
''people's' candidate thought it would
be a good scheme to contest the seat, in
the hopes that a partisan majority
would take pity on him. AS the Demo-
cratic majority is now amply sufficient
for all practical purposes, there is moth
ing to be gained by admitting the con-
testant. 1t is extremely unlikely, under
the circumstances, that they will depose
the rightfully elected member, simply
to crafty a personal ambition. The
gentleman can retire to the shades of
Door county, and pray for a better
streak of luck next time.

NECESSARY Expenditures.

There appears to be some doubt exist
inc as to whether q River and Harbor
bill will be brought in this session. Up
10 within a short time the House com
mlttee have been in a fit of sulks. IL
was intimated also that if they should
recover sufficiently to bring in n billthis
session it would not be reported in the
Senate. From all this it would seem
that congressman, and even grave and
reverend senator's" were but children
of a larger growth" Ifthey cannot have
what they want they will not have any,
thing. If they cannot expend the public
funds as they see fit they will not expend
them at all.
There is only one reason why the
regular bill should not be introduced
and that is that the appropriation of last
year was amply sufficient for two years
and an unexpended balance will be left
on hand sufficient to carry on all neces-
sary improvements for the coming year.
Information on this point is easily OBJ
tainable even if it is not now before
congress. There are certain necessary
improvements that a wise economy de-
mands should not be suffered to relapse
simply because congress is smarting
under the lash, welded by the people
at the last election. The lesson taught
at that time was one of economy, equally
removed from parsimony and prodig-
atty.
The vast inland as well as foreign
commerce of the country demands a
certain expenditure in order that it may
not be confined by lack of proper and
safe accommodation for its transaction,
and the demand which congressman say
they will now wait for, is going up all
the time. But it is a demand for econo-
mic expenditure for necessary improve
ment of national waterways and not a
demand for the alleged improvement of
every stream on which the engineer
corps may be induced to make a favor
able report. In fact these reports are
much more apt to be misleading than
otherwise. Give . government engineer
an ample allowance of time and money
and he will make 3 commercial artery
out of a Sag Hollow brook or an ample
road,tead out of ~sea-coast duck pond.
Therefore Ss agule he is q misleading

A Rise in Rice.

A Captain of a sloop who hired a new
cook at Albany relates that he set him to
cooking rice. which he said he had done
a hundred times. Telling him that he
would find five pounds in the locker and
cautionedlhim against cooking too much
the captain went about his business of
loading his vessel with pig IRON. In
half an hour the new cook rushed out,
exclaiming, "For Gods sake captain,
don't take on any more pig iron; well
have a load of billed rice before night
The captain rushed into the cabin where
he found all the pots, kettles, pals.
pans, dishes, and even two washtubs
full to Overlooking with cooked rice,
which was also seething over the top
of the kettle and falling off upon the
floor. ..Whst'n in thunder You been
doin'?' yelled the skipper, as he
glanced around. ..How much rice did
you put in that pot?n Put the
whole of it, cap said the lad; and Eve
been dom nothin' but balm out rice for
the last twenty minutes. Great Moses.
