A Military Company.

Early in the season Of 1883 an effort
was made to organize military COM
pany in Cheboygan. A paper was circu-
lated for membership and in short
time sixty names were obtained compos-
ing many of our leading citizens. Feb
Tuary %, 1883, a preliminary organiza-
tfon was effected by the election Of A. G..
Boggs, captain; E. D. Sutherland, frst
lieutenant; and H. ]. Miner, second lieu
tenant. For sometime after this the
company met regularly in the Town
Hall for drill and succeeded in obtain
ing considerable proficiency, but receiv-
ing little encouragement of being re-
ceivsd in any regiment Of the state mil
lila, the boys got tired Of drilling for
fun and began to lose interest in
the cause and soon the matter was drop
ped indefinitely. We are glad to hear
that an effort is being made to revive the
company, reorganize and make another
effort to secure admission into the state
troops. The movement is receiving
every encouragement and all indications
show that a company could easily be
raised here, that would be credit to
any place in the state Already some Of
the names of the leading young men in
the village have been secured and the
petition for admission into one OF the
state regiments Of company from this
place is being signed by all our promi-
nent business men. We hope it will
prove more successful than the former
effort, for we are satisfied that COM
pany could be easily raised that would
be credit to Cheb0ygan.

THE LOAFER.

They are sitting around upon boxes and chairs
Discussing their own and their neighbors affairs,
While the look of contentment that's seen on
each face
Seems to say l have found my appropriate
place,
Sitting around.
The lonngers they toll not nor yet do they SPIN
Unless it be yarns while enjoying their gin.
While the stories they tell and the jokes which
they crack,
Show their hearts have grown hard and undoubt-
edly black.
Sitting around.
The sitter around is a man of no means,
And his face wouldn't pass for quart OF white
beans;
Yet somehow or other he makes out to exist,
And is frequently seen with drink in bis hist,
Sitting around.
They've habit of talking of other mems wives,
And they've Whitfield up sticks with their bone
handled knives;
THEY'RE a scaly old set and wherever yougo
You'll find them in groups or strung in row,
Sitting around.

MARRIED OR SINGLE.
An English Contribution to IA Long
Standing Discussion.


The assumption that marriage offers to a
woman the highest development is open to-
question The normal condition of wifehoUa
and motherhood, with the multifarious do
nestle duties involved, is serious drawback
to industrial, public or professional life. To
do any consecutive work, single life is al
most necessary to woman. The married
woman develops the special qualities of wife
hood and motherhood often, almost always,
at the cost of her general development. Fam
lily duties, which are gain and impetus to
the career of the man, crush and annihilate
the woman. Marriage demands from her
that every thought every talent, every pro-
ject, should be subordinated to its overwhelm-
ing claims In it her individuality is weak
ened and sometimes absolutely efaced She
has not the time even to continue those hab-
its of physical exercise and healthy recreation
which maintain the elasticity and vigor of her
unmarried sister; she cannot command for
herself those conditions of life which conduce,
to health.
On the other hand, the number of unmar-
ried women increases voluntarily, and not of
necessity The mental life of these fortunate
and superior creatures is free and untram-
meled. The single woman's tastes are va
rious and refined-her opportunities for Guilt
waiting them practically unlimited Whether
it be in the direction of society, or art, or
travel or philanthropy, OR public duty, or

ing to hinder her from following her own
will-no restriction bat those of her own con-
science and right principle. From her
stronghold of happiness and freedom she can
help the weak and protect the poor. She is
fitted to fill place which has always stood
empty in the history of the world-that of
loving and tender woman, armed with official
power to redress the wrongs of women and
children, whose nature and necessities are
known only to her. While losing none OF
the fun and gaiety of life, she is called by
religious convictions to stand face to face and
hand to hand with suffering To be loving
and tender is her nature, but love and tender
ness do not reach their highest expression in
the personal relations.
If the love of the mother grows by contin-
ualy rendering services to her child, the love
of the woman grows by the protection she
gives to many children and unbefriended,
lonely girls. AS the mother benefits two or
three, the single woman may benefit thou
sands. When she throws the weight of her
intellect, her influence, her enthusiasm, on
the side of the neglected and friendless, she
sanctifes those gifts to the noblest purposes
of which humanity is capable. The social,
legal, political interests of women, children
and young girls are the charge of the femme
H6re of the future. In this direction is found
her new and sacred function.

AN OLD LIFE-SAVING RELIC.

Monday mornings train brought to this
station the first life car ever used in the
United States 1t is Francs's patent, con-
structed and placed by him at Maxson's, on
the coast of New Jersey, about one year be-
fore its value was tested. At this time there
was no organized life-saving service it being
managed by the Life-savng Benevolent as
ISOLATION, of which Mr.. Walter r. Jones had
the management.
At this time there was doubt as to its doing
even half what was claimed for it, and it is
said that the honorable secretary of the treas
ury said to Mr. Francis, ''Put your car on the
coast and if it does half what you say we
will adopt it."
On the 18th day of January, 1850, the
ship Ayrshire struck the bar near what is
now known as Lavallette City. The storm was
very severe, snow, rain and heavy wind, with
surf SO high that the boats could not live.
The new appliances were brought in use. Mr.
John Maxson, then residing on the beach, had
charge. He gathered a volunteer crew.
hauled his masters car and lines opposite the
stranded ship and fired shot, the line falling
across the vessel. The crew grasped the shot
line, hauled the larger lines on board and
after the shore ends were placed in position
the crew of the vessel hauled this Francis car
on board. All the passengers and crew ex-
cept one were saved, there being POP men,
women and children on board. The success
was heralded abroad throughout the land, and
this rescue prompted congress to some liber-
ality, and Mr.. Francis proved that it would
do more than half he said"
The old car has outlived its usefulness ex-
cept as relic of the past. 1t is rusted
through in many places 1t was exhibited at
the centennial and at many other places, the
last of which was the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, and from the last named place it
was sent per Adams Express to this place, and
will be taken to Bay Head life saving station.
What will be done with it further we cannot
say. A few survive who aided in landing the
passengers and crew. among which is Captain
David Fleming, keeper of the station where
the old relic will rest for the present at least.
Most of the old life-savers have passed away,
but there are some living too old to secure
employment in the station, and it would be
we'll for congress to remen Der them by giving
them some pay for the remainder of their
lives They have risked much and received
but little or no pay-Point Pleasant Beacon.

It IL interesting just % to look over
the records Of the so-called doubtful
states, and see how they have voted in
former presidential elections for twenty
years back. One of these, to which
much attention is just nov turned, Is
Ohio. In this state Garfield's plurality
four years ago was 34.227. Eight years
ago, Hayes carried it by $500 majority.
Twelve years ago, Grants majority was
$1,000. Sixteen years ago. bis majority
was $4,000. Lincoln's majority, twenty
years ago, was 10000.
In Indiana the republican majority,
four years ago, was $500. Eight years
ago, with one Of the ticket from among
its most honored citizens, it gave the
democratic ticket 5,400 majority. Twelve
years ago, it was republican by 1880
maj )rity. Sixteen years ago, its repuD
lican majority was 10000. Twenty years
ago, 1t gave u republican majority Of
10000.
New York, with wei a million voters,
gave Garfield a plurality of 2l,0OO votes
four years ago, Eight years ago it gave
Tilden a majority of $4,000. Twelve
years back its ole gave Grant 5000
over Its own Greeley. Sixteen years

when it was democratic by u plurality
of Of seventy-eight votes. New Jersey,
on the other hand, which republicans
CLAIM AS among their possibilities, has
cast a republican electoral vote,
though its majority for Hancock four
years ago was hut two thousand. West
Virginia was democratic by 10000 four
years ago, and $4,000 eight years ago.
For three presidential elections prior to
that 1t was republican by a vote Of from
three to thirteen thousand. Virginia
has never been otherwise than demo-
cratic in national election. North

Florida in 1872 and 1875, and Louisiana
In 1868, 1872 and 1876.
