Malcolm Littleworth, who went on
trip to Florida last fall, returned to
Alpena last week. He appears to be
well satisfied with the trip, and does
not seem DESTROYS of making another.

Up to Saturday there has been an
other week Of mild and delightful

there was sufficient snow to allow
sleighs to be used, and cedar and cord
wood men were enabled to bring part
loads to the city. Commencing Sun
day night, the weather got colder,
ahd last night winter shook out few
reefs and howled.
Last Wednesday nig,. ors of a
horrible murder were Giro ated on
the streets. Blood was seen on the
sidewalks, a man had been murdered
and body recovered from under the
ice. An investigation brought out
the following At one of the saloons
some men were rafting for pig.
While they were in the rattle, some
person undertook to play a joke on
them, and stole the pig. The pig OBJ
jected to such unlawful work and he
squcaled out his remonstrances in
very vigorous and piggish manner.
The discussion between the man and
pig was brought to a close by the
man playing jig on the pigs throat
with knife, and the argument was
too sharp and convincing for the pig.
The result Of the dispute was blood
on the sidewalk, and this blood being
seen by some person, was the occasion

COCfjh ArlStOcracy.

Buffalo has sensation. A wealthy
lady, the widow of William G. Fargo
we'll known as the late President OF
the American Express Company and
+cf Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express,
thought proper to change not her
name but her condition. Mr.. Fargo
the first died not long ago, and left
behind him a good fortune.
Recently it has been seen that an.
other party by the name of Fargo
was paying attention to the widow,
who has reached the shady side OF so.
MIR. Fargo the second is not a relativ e
of his marital predecessor, but he sue
cecded in winning the lady, and the
consequence is marriage.
This is very simple story and
purely domestic. But it has been
given a sort of public character by
the fierce opposition of the relatives
OF the lady to the marriage. The
reason of this opposition is explained
IN newspaper dispatch from Buffalo:
"lhe brides family are very aristo-
cratic in their tendencies, while of late
years Frank Fargo has been a news.
paper writer of small means and not
brilliant social standing."
So, according to the rules of Buff.
falo aristoeracy, literary capacity and
small means are inconsistent with
brilliant social standing. When Viii.
liam G: Fargo was an express messen.
ger and worked hard for $40 or $50 a
month' there was probably very little
Considerable tendency" about him.
But ne built very aristocratic man.
SION after he became wealthy, and the
ar'stocratic tendencies came with the
Italian frescoig by famous artists
and the real point lace bed.hangings
imported from France. Who could
'e'p being arstocratic in house
''ostlng over Sl,OOO,OOU? The won.
Ter is how newspaper writer of
mail means, and consequently of not
social standing, could VEN
nre to lift his eyes to such an aristo.
ratio hight.
There is a great deal Of nummery
bout the European aristocracy. But
hat Is an aristocracy of birth. 1t is
. many years since the ancestors of
he British nobility were robbers or
att''roats, or plmps, or the accidents
palace scrub women, that the orig.
'al source OF their ''noble blood' is f
'st sight of. The fresh Goldfish aris-
'cracy OF this country is, on the other
and, the va gar aristocracy Of money.
Is of such recent date that the smell
the article from which it takes it's
anne is extensively distinct. Perhaps
lat is why it is so much more tena-
Gus of its rights than the aristocracv
blood or brains, and why it turns
p Its nose so disdainfully at s'newspa-
e .r men OF small means" y N. Y.

Which ofsthe Three /?

The Natchez Democrat thus illustrates
the intimate connection between land
labor and capitol and their mutual de-
pendence upon one another:
The Arabs have story of a man who
desired to test which of his three sons
loved him most. He sent them out 10
see which of the three would bring him
the most valuable present. The three
sons met in distant city and compared
the gifts they had found. The first had
a carpet on which he could transport
himself whithersOever he would. The
second had medicine which would cure
any disease. The third had glass in
whichto see what was going on at home
he saw his father i'll in bed, The first
transported all three to their home on
his carpet. The second administered
the medicine and saved his fathers life.
The perplexity of the father when he had
to decide which SON gift had been of the
most value to him illustrates very fairly /
