Eaahion's Mandate.

The mysterious origin and quick diff
fusion of the DEGREES of fashion are
past finding out. The silent forces Of
nature, by which the frigid and some
times repulsiye forms of winter are
changed into scenes of vernal life and
beauty, are as unknown and unknow-
able as are the sources of the unwrit-
ten laws which hold despotic sway in
fashions world. BY seeking, one can
rarely find out whence they come. by
what mental process they are evolved,
or - caprces or necessities, real or
fanciful, which call them into being.
But no enemys stronghold, no wrong
OF the ages, no malign system of opprcs-
sion, no heresy. or schism was ever
assatled with less hope Of successful
encounter than are the edicts which
fashion formulates for the guidance Of
her subjects and yotaries One would
say that in our own country, or in
England, a thing Of beauty -uniycr-
sally so regarded-would always I've
reckoned beautiful; that natural gifts Of
form and feature would always main
tain their place as graces unchanged
by the yagaries or vicissitudes OF la
mode. But the news comes to us from
over the sea that there Is to be this
season an entirely new style Of beauty,
A correspondent of a prominent Eng.

The question Of chief Importance 70

getting sleep becomes more difficult;
there IS a tendency to nervous eycita-

the system does not equal the waste
The more finely organized people are
the greater the difficulty and the dan

order to sleep well is 10 90 to bed at a
regular hour. and make it as early as
possible. The next thing is to exclude
all worry and exciting subjects Of
thought from the mind sometime before
retiring. The body and mind must be
let down from the high-pressure strain
before going to bed. So that nature can
assert her rightful supremacy after

rhe Immigration Report.

From Post and Tribune.
The report of Col. Frederick Morley,
commissioner of immigration, is one
of the most valuable state papers ever
published in Michigan.
After the law was passed creating
commission of immigration, Gov. Jerome
cast about to find the fittest person in
the state to fill the position. The gov
ernOr was greatly impressed with the
Importance of the commission. He was
of the opinion that it could be made of
very great value to the state, and he re-
solved to confer the appointment of
commissioner upon no one but gentle
man possessed of energy, intelligence,
and breadth sufficient to grasp the ca
pacity OF the work involved and who
would execute it 80 that its results
would more than justify the creation of
the commission.
Instinctively his mind turned toward
Col. Morley, and without either sOlicta-
ton or prompting he appointed that
gentleman the first commissioner under
the new law.
Before Col. MOrley's appointment no
organized or intelligent effort had been
made to attract the attention of immi-
grants to the natural resources and
wealth of Michigan. Col. Morley began
the accumulation of material under
great difficulties, but he has natural
capacity for organized and methOdical
effort, and in the exercise of this he soon
collected mass of accurate information
which he thoroughly digested and placed
in readable form, and this information
was scattered throughout all the states
and territories and IL foreign countries,
1851 copies of the work prepared by Col.
Morley having been sent by mail in De-
cember alone in response to applications.
So widespread has the communication
of the commissioners office with the
world become that in one week In De-
cember 800 letters and postal cards were
received, asking tor copies of michigan
and its Resources" or for information as
to available points for settlers.
A gratifying result of Col. Morley's
work has been great inflow of immi-
grafton to the northern and unsettled
counties Of the state. Some of this has
been from the older counties, part of
whose people Oyerfowed. and had their
eyes set westward. but by Col. MOrley's
efforts were turned to northern Mich
igan instead. And it is estimated that
the increase in the northern counties
during the year has bee n from $4,000
to $1,000; part of this increase came,
as already stated, from southern Mich
igan, but the greater part came from
abroad. The sales of state lands in this
part of the state during the year was
77,450 acres, of United States lands 474,-
$40, acres, and of railroad lands 226, 796,
or over $4,000 acres all in one year.

A Strange PreseAtment.
From the Utica Observer.

~@>~
In the year 1866 the late James S.
Thorn, who was the city editor of
this paper, was lying upon his death
bed, slowly succunibing to the inroads
of that fatal disease, consumption.
The intelligence was brought to the
Office that he could not possibly last
more than a day or two longer. He
was man of such genial and loving
qualities and had so tenderly entwined
around the hearts of all his
associates, that no one could endure
the thought of writing his obituary in
advance of his death and yet it was
quite important, if not imperative,
that proper memorial should be pre-
pared, ready for insertion in the
paper, at a moments notice upon the
receipt of the news of the death Of
our young and talented friend and
associate. One after another declined
to write the obituary untilitvas final
lys determined that Abram Fonda, an
editorial writerson the paper, should
perform the melancholy task Mr..
Fonda accordingly began it, omitting
the introduction, and was engaged
some time upon the work, when the
writer of this paragraph, who soecu-
pied a chair in front of Mr.. Fonda
table, turned around and inquired
how he was getting along. He re.
piled that he was not progressing sat.
isfactorily, that it was a harder task
than he had anti eipated, and then
went on with his work. Instantly,
as quick as thought could frame the
expression, there flashed through the
brains of the writer these words:
"Old fellow, you'll die before Jimmie
does!" And he did. That night
after retiring Mr.. Fonda arose fol
some purpose, went to an zopen win
dow in his room, and fell headlone
out of it to the sidewalk below. Ii
the morning he was found lying OF
the ground speechless and insensible
He died at 9 o'clock in the forenoon
of the day. Mr. Thorn survived un
til nearly noon. The hand tina

and close Of the obituary of Mr.
Thorn and that Mr.. Fonda began
