Bruce, the present terminus of the
Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie & Atlantic
railroad, is 100 miles east of Minneapolis
by rail. The track reached this point
but recently. and the site for the station

The town site is about three-fourths of
mile west of Chippewa river. The Flam-

Little drops Of stinginess--
Discarding printers ink

And sees his credit sink.

Editor NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
Our teacher tells us you wish to secure
correspondent that will report items
OF news from this part of the county.
Well. this is truly one of the Rural des-
tricks" and very little happens among

but we like very much to read the letters

county. and if any items we may furnish
will prove interesting to your many
readers we will gladly do the best we
can.
We learn the new school house in
Iaekinaw township, one mile from

Nov. Doth. 1884.

As my last or rather my first letter
was too late for publication this week,
presume to try once more. We held
Thanksgiving exercises at the school
house last evening, and had a very en-
joyable time, readings and recitations
with sacred and social songs were the
only exercises but cur people enjoyed
them very much.
Mr.. Joe Lenshan is making short
visit in our neighborhood, don't mention
it, but we think he came to see some of
the girls, at least he did not come to
school until just as the girls were ready
to 60 home.
Mr.. He1by Hamell, of your city, is
spending few days with Mr.. Bud Ellis.
Mr.. Asa Bowen, Mr.. Frank Bowen and
Mr.. Robt. McKechnie arrived home from
the Beavers to-day. They report a
stormy time coming home. and also re-
port several wrecks on the islands in
Lake Michigan.
Onr teacher was little cross to-day
but don't think he reads the papers, sc
will just tell on him.

of dollars; and then, from some myster-
t~eriosscrypt in her bonnet, drew forth
five letters for which she said she
would receive from 500 TO 800 apiece,
adding that she made her way from
the South by running blockade.
The friend who had thus revealed
herself in her true colors as the enemy
of Mrs. Reeds country vas to leave the
citv on a midnight train. Duty pointed
straight to the office of the Provost Mar
shall, and tither, overcoming her natural
reluctance to such a course, the patri-
otto hostess repaired in ample time, as
it happily proved to prevent mischief.
"If she had carried only quinine," Mrs
Reed afterwards remarked to a friend,
"she might have gone on her way unmo-
Tested, for l pItied the poor sick people
of the South, when %quinine was worth
its weight in gold but | reasoned that
letters on which the postage was so
high must be Of national import
ance."
Fortunately the fair traitress had given
Mrs. Reed her photograph. With the
portrait to gaide them the military au-
tEorities were not long in taking action.
The woman was arrested, and quinine
and letters were oon in the possession
of the war department. From those
letters the government derived some of
its most important information relative
to that movement of General Lee in
which he was so unexpectedly check
mated by finding the army of the Poto-
in his front.
Mr.. Reed for some time before his
death drew his pension, which he sue
ceeded in obtaining, be it noted, with
the difficulty which seems to beset most
applicants for the tender mercies of the
Pension Bureau. After her husbands
decease Mrs. Reed, being then in easy
circumstances, RETAINED, with charac-
~teristic unselishness, from making any
claim upon the government to which
she had rendered such essential service
in its time of need.
Through the advice of friends the
lady's claim is now being pressed by a
law firm in this city, and even if moth
ing more is done, there should be no
difficulty about its speedy settlement
under the most liberal construction ex-
sting ~statutess.

Action of Waves on Marine Ma
SOnFN.

GThe power of sea waves in breaking
up heavy masses of masonry has been
remarkably attested in the case of the
b-eakwaters at Wick, on the coast of
England. The height of the wave at this
place was several times meas ured or ea-
timated, the result being about forty-two
feet from crest to hollow, and stones of
eight and ten tons weight were by such
waves carried from the paTapet to the top
of the breakwaters. This led to the con-
struction of the outward extremity Of
the b~reakwater by depositing three
courses of one-hundred-tOn blocks ofston
ON the rubble base as a foundation for
three courses # large fiat stones, sur
mounted by a monolith Of cemented rub
BILE built on the spot; the end of the
breakwaters was thus, IN substance, a
monOlith weighing upward OF eight hun
dred tons, being about twenty-siv by for
tv-five feet and eleven feet in thickness,
cemented to the rubble mass below.
But even this huge monolithic structure
suCcum bed to the force of the waves,
being slowed around by successive
strokes, until it was finally removed and
deposited-a body nearly fourteen hun
dred tons-inside of the pier, without
breaking.

The Submarine Tunnel Between
Sicily and Italy.

According to the engineers estimate,
the length of the proposed submarine
tunnel between Italy and Sicily will be
1900 feet, The maximum depth o.
the sea above the line of the tunnel is
500 feet and the thickness of rock be-
tween the roof of the tunnel and the
bottom of the sea will be ll5 feet. The
direction of the tunnel from St. Agata
to Punta del Pizzo is almost due north
east to southwest. The two i~nclines
descending 10 the tunnel will first run
parallel with the shore and then de
scend TO the lowest level by spiral tun-
nels; the length Of these inclines is each
Is, 900 feet, the urea occupied by each
spiral tunnel ,lG0 feet, and the degree
Of inclination thirty-five feet per 1000.
The centre OF the tunnel will be on a
higher level than the two. ends: wells and
Subsidiary tunnels will be constructed
To drain Off the percolating water; and
the most difficult part of the line will be
first commenced.

patiently being led on, as they supposed
by the spirits. Unfortunately thev
never found anything, but they sue.
ceeded in making a good deal Of money
out of visitors.
Moll Pitchers who by the way was
not the heroine of Monmouth) supposed
husband used to hear all the super
stitions ofthe time He used to dwell
with great gusto and not a little terror
on a story of a company of gambling
sailors who were playing with a strange
dark man with a SLOUGH hat who seemed
to beat them at every turn. By and BY
one Of the S lilors looked under the table
and to his horror saw that the myster.
ious player had a cloven foot.
LAS in Lynn so in other parts of the
land settled by the Puritans there re-
main among the old inhabitants SUPER
stitions and strange stories. In Norfolk
county, which has towns whose history
dates back to King Philips war, may be
found people who have told these old
stories of witches and haunted houses
so much that they have come to believe
in them. | will remember one eccen.
trio genius who is fond of telling the
story of a house which has since borne
an u~nsavory record and which was then
inhabited by a curious man who used to
be a strong indulger in New England rum
and who was generally supposed among
his neighbors to be a bad character. As
he lay on his death-bed it is claimed
that his watchers saw the evil INT drive
up to the sick mans window on horse
back and heard him exclaim: well, |
guess I'll give him a day longer. IN
come back for him tomorrow night"
The devil rode away, but the follow
ing night the old man died. The same
man who related this story was a soldier
of the union army, and in the DAYS of
the rebellion had an experience with a
man who was afterward shot for a de-
serter, which he was fond of relating.
He said that he used to sleep beside
this man, and always felt convinced that
he had a cloven foot. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that the man had simply long toe
nails.
"These towns which were more thor
oughly Countrlied than New England
seaports, used to be a great resort for
all kinds of queer tramps.
The modern tramp is a prosaic one
enough, but in those days the fraterni-
ty included Polish refugees, Irish exiles,
Indians, queer old women, and still
queerer old men, al strange in their
bearing and manners as the mad tink-
er mentioned by Dickens i'm David Cop
perfeld.' In these days the temper
ance reform has swept away a good
many old New England customs, and
the habit of treating these tramps to
run cider, or other drinkables has
been abandoned. The stage.coach has
been suppressed by the railroad and the
whole life Of the New England town
has, to some extent chan ged . The
tramps were a great source of supersti-
ts,r .eo0aso11rr - wrorTFar sNanNln
"These things show how much a peO-
pie who can believe in such things cling
to the past. The horrors of Tewksbury
are worse than any that could belong to
a supposed haunted house, but the peo-
pie are much slower to believe in reali-
ties than in quaint stories Of ghosts and
COLLINS. A changer however, is coming
to awaken to the necessity of real re-
FORM"
