The other night policeman, who
was patrolling Grand River avenue

the door unlocked and the key in the
lock. He sprung the bolt, put the
key in his pocket and sauntered on,
and in course of an hour he found
opportunity to send word and the key
to the house of the proprietor. He
didn't expect any particular praise for
this action, but he was hardly pre-
pared for the storm which soon swoop-
down upon him. The grocer him

Terrible Birthmark.
philadelphia Press.


A most remarkable case of human
suffering, and one which has steadily
baff1ed medical science, is reported in
Springfield, Erie county, Penn. VIM.
Furgeson, when seven years of age,
was seized with severe pains in his
right hand, and though he is now
forty-six years of age, he has been an
nually attacked, singularly, though
at each time suffering more than at
the preceding. Commissions and
paroxysms now visit him at exactly
the same period of the year, and al
ways at the same hour in the even
ing. He is now suffering the most
acute agony, and is visited by scores
of physicians, who in every case have
been completely baffled. By this pc
culiar freak of nature, his body be-
comes terribly contorted. Respira-
ton almost ceases, and he becomes
for the time unconscious, and on
awakening shows every evidence of
having passed through a most terri
BILE ordeal. On being restored he be-
comes perfectly well, and IS only
troubled at intervals Of a year, but
with positive regularity. The case
can only be accounted for by the fact
that Furgeson's mother, shortly be-
fore his birth, saw the contortions
and evidences of agony In a snake
which had been thrown into the fire,
and that he has become thus birth
marked

PROTECTION FOR A NEW COUNTRY.

In his speech to the students at Ann Arbor
which, by the way, is one Of the neatest
and coinpletest bits of extemporaneous ora
tory in the English or any other language,
equal to the best Of Garfeld's-and his were
universally conceded TO surpass anything of
the kind before, in variety, aptness and
rhetorical symmetry-Mr Blaine said;
"Our college boys are taught, was myself
taught when was college boy, the doctrine
of free trade, but the United States stands as
a perpetual and irrefutable argumcnt and ex-
ample of the value in new country, of the
doctrine of protection.
It is a coincidence worth noting that the
great champion of free trade, John Stuart
Mill, in his Principles of Political Economy :"
admits, in the most precise terms, the claim
that Mr. Blaine makes for the value of protec-
ton Gin new country" He says ''there is
one case, and but one, in which, on mere
principles Of political economy, protecting du-
ties can be defensible; when they are
imposed temporarily Especially in a young
and rising nationJ in hopes of naturalizing
a foreign industry. in itself perfectly suitable
to the circumstances Of the country" Mr..
Mill was a very much larger man than Mr..
Watterson or Mr.. Morrison, or any partisan or
speculative free trader that ever fuddled his
own brain or other peoples with theories that
every fact in his history kills as dead as sci
ence kills the theory OF astrology. He stud
led free trade rs fact as well as philosoph-
icstl speculation ON certain assumed principles
of national and individual conduct And he
saw that ga young and rising nation might
wisely provide protecting duties" to ''natur-
alize an industry" for which it possessed all
natural resources and facilities No protee-
zionist ever asked more. No one ever dreamed
of establishing industries here, by protection,

TEE MAN AND WHAT HE REPRESENTS.

Let it not be forgotten that behind Mr..
Blaines great personal popularity lie the car
dinal principles of the Republican party and
the Nation. AS their exponent and cham
pion, his election is fraught with the gr7,vest
importance to all the people. As man he
could suffer defeat. The people might spare
him as an individual, towering as he does
above his contemporaries; but as the repre-
sentative Of what is excellent in public polity,
what is safe and what is WISE, this Nation
cannot afford to suffer his rejection, attended,
as it would be, by the overthrow of the pres
ent order Of things and the introduction of
dangers that have 50 long been fought off
only by the most strenuous effort. In his
Fort Wayne Speech with characteristic readi-
ness of wit and felicity of speech, he sounded
the true issue at stake. When he
said: con the fourth day Of November next
you are to say which party for which policy
you will cast your votes" there were loud cries
"For Blaine; for Blaine!" mot for me, per

appreciates che meaning Of the present cam

great servant, to perform work that few
men are adequate to. In this same spirit he

A Fort Wayne, special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, speaking Of the shameless and in
tended interference with the Republican rally
there, says;
