DIR MICHIGAN LETTER.
ANN ARBoR, Nov. 16, 1883.

s;der;ng some of the attractive feat
ures of our town, and according to
,romise this article will be a contlnu-
alton of that topic.
As one, after passing up Liberty
Straat reaches State street and stands
there under the shadow of the great
university building, sense OF ms
own smallness overcomess HIM, ana
the student here realizes, no matter
how cgotistical he may be, that on
passing the portals of this great IN
stitution that he is entering upon the
wake of acquiring knowledge. a
feeling of reverence Will also crowd
upon him as he thinks OF the great
men of our country who have gradu-
ated from here, and as he stands
where they stood, and sits, perhaps,
in their very seats of old.
Facing the setting sun stands the
great Liberty Department, occupy
mo. as it were, the throne, with the
Law Department and the Museum as
right and left supporters, respective
". This is an immense building and
it would be folly to attempt de-
scription. In the Northern Wing is
situated the art collection. In this
there are some very beautiful pieces,
and consists of paintings, statues, and
bric-abrac Of all descriptions. The
most prominent are the statues OF
Apollo, Mars and Minerva, copied
from the originals at Rome. In
separate room is the greatest curosl
tv of all, viz, the statue OF Nldla
This is the original statue which stoot
for so many centuries in the city o
Rome. 1t is very beautiful piece
of work. In the center Of the build
ING, under the dome, is situated
very creditable theatre, called Uni
versity Hall. 1t will seat about on
thousand persons, and possesses
good stage, etc. Here the gradu;
ton exercises take place.

ABOUT DRUGGISTS.

All druggists should be honorable gentlemen,
and We are inclined TO believe the majority of
them are; but there are what is called /" blac K
sheep III all professions. We came across one
OF the latter class not long since. While in his
store customer asked for Ammen's Cough
Syrup: As the druggist was doing it up for him
he said, :" have u preparation which l can
recommend as better than this" The man said,
u" will take that then, but my friends have
spoken 50 highly of Ammcn's Cough Syrup l

A SHOCKING Jest.

During the past winter three citi-
zens of the Bohemian town of Neus-
tadt met every night for social pur-
poses in the public room of the best
inn. The triumvirate of friends
were the Judge of the District Court,
Franz Rychilk, Kapelmeister Bauer,
and merchant named Kohn. One
evening in merry humor they swore
a common oath to remain united in
death as we'll as life, and each mem
Der of the guild pledged himself that
if one of the brotherhood died he
would follow him into the invisible
world within the space of fourteen
days at the longest. The landlord,
who took the oath as a mere joke,
wished to make fourth in the
league, which was granted As all
the men were under middle age and
in sound health, they felt secure that
the first death was long way off
About six weeks ago, however, the
District Judge Rychilk died in his
sleep, from the poisonous fumes of Il
defective stove in his bedroom The
three survivors were deeply grieved,
but none of them regarded the oath
made under the influence of wine as
anything more serious than an even
ing's passing jest. Twelve days later,
however, the merchant kohn was
seized with inflammation of the lungs,
from a neglected cold, and in two
days he was dead. A horror laid
hold upon the two survivors, and
Kapelmcister Bauer took to his bed,
lay i'll for several days, and died on
the tenth day At last accounts the
landlord was still in good health.
though terribly oppressed by the fear
of su. ldeD death.
The milk business, with its concom-
liant industries, is assuming enor
nous dimensions in France. In 1888
France imported 2,6i0,000 pounds of
butter. and exported 2, APO, 600 pounds.
while in 1851 she exported 74,SG0,0O0
pounds. for which she received in the
neighborhood of S2O,OO0,0O0. The
department of LIE Manche alone ex-
ports nearly one-third of the vast
quantity mentioned.

Proceedings in Congress 90 to
show that quite a number of Ger
mans come to the States, take out ar
tlcles of naturalization, and then re-
turn to the Fatherland, where they
claim exemption from military con
scrlption. According to the treaty
of 1865 made with Prussia, a recip-
roclty of naturalization was entered
INTO providing that citizens of either
country residing for five years in the
other and having taken out the prop
or papers were bona fde citizens of
their adopted country, but could by
giving notice and living there a Ger
tam time renew allegiance to the
land they had left. 1t is thought the
formation of the new German En-
pre- since then will necessitate new
treaty.

Macbeth, Act w., Scenel
Naught but an intimate knowledge
of all the diabolical arts and wiles of
the characters he intended to depict
could have rendered the great dra-
matist SO correct in his portraya, of
the inhabitants of the lonely glen
where the opening scene discloses
them engaged in their dread incanta-
tions, during which the second hag
recites the above quoted lines as
descriptive of the contents of the
caldrOn which was to form the charm
and powerful trouble Dreadful as
were the contents of that witch's
caldron, they were the latest delica-
cies of the season when compared
with the contents of our modern
apothecary shops, the statement of
which fact leads lis at once to the
subject of this sketch. as indicated in
the heading "Disgusting Remedies"
''Oh, yes! We use cockroaches to
some extent, bat in the old country
they are employed as a remedial
agent much more frequently" said
well known druggist in response to
the queries of an Enquirer represent
alive, who had called ON him for
information.
What made you ask the question:
asked the apothecary.
In reply the newspaper man
showed HIM statement concerning
Louisiana physician, who wrote to
awell known Eastern medical journal
asking it for information respecting
the curative qualities of tea made
from fat female cockroaches. In the
letter he copied the following form
ula of Il preparation often used by
the old women nurses of the South:
lone dozen of female cockroaches
put into a pint of boiling water after
being bruised. Let stand couple
of hours, then strain we'll; add two
teaspoonsful of brandy and one ounce
of crushed sugar; stir till thoroughly
dissolved. Two teaspoonsful every
hour
Yes continued the drug man, as
he finished reading this seemingly
disgusting prescription. As l said
before, they are used to some extent.
Their use was discovered among the
Russian peasantry, and after that
they were taken up by the medical
men of Germany. They are expected
to act as a diuretic, and as cure for
kidney Diseases
The visitor expressed his disgust,
both by word and gesture. which
movement led the druggist to remark
that cockroaches were mild and
pleasant when compared with other
medical remedies produced at the
expense of insect life.

boys who formed corporation
No, replied his friend. "Well, then,
III tell YOU" resumed the legal gen
tleman: There were two boys who
had cent each, and they wanted to
buy two cent cigar. Neither could
buy 1t alone. and the elder of the two
suggested that they form corpora
ton. of which he was to be President
and the other was to be stakeholder.
The cigar was purchased and the
President began to smoke it. The
stakeholder looked on. expecting that
his puff would come. but the Presi-
dent consumed one half and then
two thirds. Look here, said the
stakeholder. amt l going to have a

tones and the first big drops began to
fall

across the meadows. and We're at the
door to receive their dripping guests

But Fanny started back with dis

glimpse of her rivals face. 1t was
striped like zebra, where the streams
Of rain had run down her brow and
checks, the streaks of red and white
paint blending curiously together;
the penciliny was washed entirely
from one eyebrow, the other shielded
by fold of the lace veil, was totally
unchanged. Fanny was silent. but

And then, happening to see the re-
Election of her face in an opposite

went off into good old fashioned hys-

When she came out of them again
Mr. Carroll had vanished from the
scene.

there is to be wedding at the rectory

Strange how slender a straw will
suffice to turn the current of the
stream of life. If it had not been for
that thunder storm in the woods, the
whole aspect of Miss Oriana Van

different.
But her complexion, unlike the

UNSUITABLE EJECTMENT.

William Pease, seventy six years
of age. took train on the Delaware.
Lackawanpa and Western Railroad
on January l, 1881, to go from Ho-
boken to Montclair. He gave the
conductor of the train a ticket for a
passage from Montclair to New York.
The conductor refused to receive it,
and demanded his fare. Mr.. Pease
refused to pay. and the conductor
directed the brakeman oput him off.
The latter did SO, in spite of active
resistance from Mr.. Pease. who, be
fore he was elected. finally offered to
pay his fare, but its acceptance was
then refused by the conductor. The
dispute commenced while the train
was in or near the tunnel beyond
Hoboken. but Mr.. Pease was put off
short distance beyond a regular
station.
He sued the Company for damages
and obtained verdict in the Court
of Common Pleas for $1,000. From
this Judgment the railroad company
appealed to the Common Pleas, Gen
eral Term, which Court yesterday
handed down a decision reversing
the judgment of the Court below and
ordering a new trial. Judge j. +.
DAILY. who writes the opinion of the
Court, says:
If the train arrived at regular
stopping place, and while here the
conductor proceeded to eject a pas
senger for non payment of fare, the
latter might offer to pay before he
was actually elected, and such pay
ment should be received. But if the
stoppage of the train was for the
sole purpose of putting the passenger
off and he had rendered the stoppage
by a factious refusal to pay the fare,
he would not have the ri ht to tender
the fare and continue his trip after
having caused such an interruption.
1t can make no difference
in principle whether the train had
proceeded longer or shorter distance
when it is stopped again, nor whether
the second stoppage was made with
in the limits of the ordinary stopping
place. 1t is the fact that a stop has
to be made through the pertinacity
of the passenger in wrongfully refus-
ing his fare. That determines the
question. n. Y. Herald.
