more about politics than he does
about the work of lodge of Odd
Fellows, as illustrated by an item in
his paper last week, we do not won
der that he is gresnbacker.
Elk Governor Coburn, Of Maine,
recently sold $4,000 worth of
western land in single lot, and it is
said it was the largest sale of coun-
try property ever made in the United
States by a single individual.
Capt. b. L. Crouch, an unmarried
Texan stockman, has an insurance
of 500, 900 on his life. He is a son
of Jacob Crouch the rich farmer, re-
Gently murdered in Jackson county,
this state.
In the first House of Representa-
tives that assembled under the con-
stitution there were sixty-fve mem
bers; there are just five times as
many in the present House.
The New York Sun says, speaking
of President Arthur, that " it is not
too much to say that he is the best
President the country has had since
the death of Abraham Lincoln"
Now what has the President done,
that Dana should slobber all over
him? Who can tell?
"A Washington paper in speaking
of the characteristics of some of the
Senators says that palmer, of Mich
igan, is good story teller"
Mr.. Fred. A. Aldrich, son of our
long time friend, the editor Of the
Flint Globe, has started out in life
for himself by starting a paper at
Otter Lake, Lapeer county. We
hope he may be as successful as his
father has been if SO, the enterprise
will soon be power in the land.
William Marshall, Of Schenectady,
N. Y, claims that he was the first of
all passenger conductors. He ran
the first train on the Mohawk &
Hudson River railroad, which was
hauled from Albany to Schenectady
by stationary engines.
The Chesaning Argus is very great
ly mistaken when it says that the
constitution Of this state "prohibits
praying or any form of religious SER
vice in either Senate or House of
Representatives" The constitution
of Michigan contains enough absurd
propositions to make it a national
laughing stock, but nothing quite SO
absurd and supremacy ridiculous as
the charge made in the Argus can be
found among its provisions.
Bro. Slocum, of the Advertiser,
Holly, sent out fine Holiday num-
Der to his readers. Fred. has lots of
enterprise, and prints No. paper.
Much is being said about the exis-
tence of gambling tables in all the
cities of Michigan. But THE TIMES
has no space to spare for sermon
on gambling. Life is too short to
make arguments for men who are
such unmitigated fools as to place
honestly earned money on a gaming
table for professionally gambler to
gather up. Yet when men, young
and old, become so passionately at
tached to the gambling table that
every dollar they can earn, beg or
borrow goes to satisfy the vain hope
that luck will turn. The young or
old man possessed of this passion is
not to be trusted, and there is not
well-informed business man who will
permit an employee, who stakes his
salary in the gambling room, to
handle his money. Against these
evils there is but one protection to
the community, and that is to stamp
out these dens and their twin-brother
in deviltry, the saloon, just so far
as it can be done by the rigid en-
forcement of the laws of the state.

The Blacksmith.

The blacksmith is an honest fel.
low, although he has to pound iron
and steel for living, and he does
not hesitate to forge when he can
make any money out of it. The
blacksmith is the horses shoema-
ker. Before fitting on set Of
shoes he always gives the animal a
pare. The horse has only four feet
but when the blacksmith has fitted
the horses fore feet, there are two
feet more still to be fitted. The
blacksmith is steady working
man and yet he is always striking.
The blacksmith is man of metal.
de is q practical musle-man and at
the same time a good christian
The first blacksmith mentioned
in history was Tubal Cain. Tubal
OF course was a Hitte. There is
another Cain mentioned in scripture.
Although he was not a blacksmith
he was an able hitter. Cain was a
husbandman. He endeavored to
to rise in the world that is to say,
he raised cane. He also RACED
Abel. Vulcan's mother was Juno,
but Juno that we'll enough, if you
are acquainted with ancient myths.

-OUR readers will remember

Our readers will remember
that John A, Logan, the candidate
for Vice President on the Republi-
can ticket, devoted much Of bis
letter of acceptance to abuse Of the
South, and expressed great sympa-
thy for the "poor down.trodaen ne
gro" That he did not always bear
such great love for the '.poor ne
gro" will be seen by the following
extract taken from speech recent
ly delivered by Ex-Governor John
P. St. John, the Prohibition candi-
date for President. We particular
" recommend its perusal to the
colored voters:
There was q law once in force IN
Illinois to the effect that any white
person caught in the act Of giving
sustenance to any colored man, wo-
man or child should be arrested.
and, upon proof of the charge,
should be thrown into prison for
two years. l was practising law at
that time in an Illinois town, when
a little colored lad came to nv
house and said: "Pleaee; mister,
won't you give me something to I
eatf ! haven't had anything to
eat in two days" Ioalled my wife
and told her to get the boy a big
slice Of bread, butter it all over,
and get some meat "Would It not
be better" she said, ITO have the
boy come into the house, 40 every
body seems to be watching us r
said, "No; / want this people to
see that | am not afraid TO give to
sustain any OF Gods unfOrtunatee."
The Grand Jury was in session at
the time, and an indictment was
found against me for giving susten-
ance to a negro. ] was. according
" arrested and brought before the
court, and pleaded guilty to the
charge, and stated in open court
that | would do 30 again, and
whenever l found the laws Of. mau
interfering with the laws Of God I
would violate the human law every
time. The testimony given had
the desired effect, and the court an
nounced to the packed court house
that he found the prisoner at tho
bar "Not guilty Of the charge" and
I was set free. The man who was
the prime mover and factor in the
passage of this bill wac none other
than John A. Logan, the nominee
for Vice-President Of the Repubii-
can party.

If the reflective editor of the Sun
really admires Randall and Bayard
and is anxious to see them in posi-
tons Of power, why does he employ
his influence now to keep the Re-
publican rascals ini Every body
knows that if Mr.. Clevelaed is cho-
sen President the chief pillars ofhis
administration will be statesmen
like Bayard, Randall, Thurman
and Mcdonald. The defeat Of
Cleveland will keep such men out
Of the Cabinet and prevent their
great talents from being made USE
full to the people. Mr.. Dana should
lay aside his idle regrets and help
to elect a President who will "turn
rascals out" and give positions of
influence to men Of integrity and Ca
pability, such as Randall and Bay
ard.
